T.I.’s Club Crucial Liquor License Suspended?

According to gossip blogger Perez Hilton, rapper T.I.’s Club Crucial is in danger of losing its liquor license due to incidents of violence at the club.
The Westside nightclub is known for its crunk showcases that often attract well-established rappers as well as up-and-coming artists from out of town.
Due to the six violent incidents at T.I.’s Club Crucial in Atlanta, the alcohol licensing board wants to suspend their liquor license.
After a vote, the board agreed to suspend the license for 30 days and hit it with a $50,000 fine. Considering the residents of the city were pushing to revoke the license, they got off easy.
No official punishment will be enforced until it goes through the Mayor.

Kanye West’s One Twitter ‘Friend’ Doesn’t Even Like Him

What if you woke up one morning to find that one of the world’s biggest narcissists decided to make you his only friend on Twitter?
That’s the dilemma that Steven Holmes of Coventry, England faced when he woke up one day last week.
The one ‘friend’ that Kanye West is following on Twitter told a reporter that he doesn’t even like the rapper.
“The funny thing is, I’m not his biggest fan,” said Holmes.
The humble 19-year-old found his world turned upside down when Kanye decided to follow him on Twitter.com. Kanye, who does everything for mass affect, made Holmes his only ‘follow’ on Twitter just to prove he could make an unknown kid famous.
But Holmes was so upset about the unwanted attention that he removed his profile picture and all but abandoned his Twitter page, which gained almost 5,000 followers in less than a week.
In his only interview — with the Coventry Telegraph — Holmes said, “Fame has never appealed to me. It’s vacuous.”
He added: “Before this weekend I thought it would be cool to have a celebrity following me on Twitter, but now I think it’s really not worth it.”
In his next- to-last tweet, he wrote: “I won’t be speaking to anybody else, surprisingly not everyone wants to be famous. That’s all I’m saying – peace out x.”

Celeb Style: Kanye West, Ricky Rozay, Omarion


Upscale hype posted these pics of rapper Rick Ross showing off his yellow gold Rolex Day-Date II watch (estimated $25,000 – $30,000) while chilling in the back seat of a chauffeur driven Rolls Royce Ghost in the trailer for his single “Live Fast, Die Young” off the Teflon Don LP.

Troubled rapper/producer Kanye West also favors the classic lines of the timeless beauty that is the Rolex Day-Date watch. Kanye tweeted this pic of his personal favorite this week on his Twitter page.

I hear that the gold-on-gold Rolex Day-Date is the preferred timepiece of ballers in the ATL. Even the groupies in the clubs have taken to wearing cheap knockoffs of this classic timepiece to impress the rappers and ballers.
Note to the fellas: if her Rolex watch face has scratches on it, it’s a fake.
Celebs Out & About: Kim Kardashian, LaLa Vazquez, Venus Williams, Cassie

BFF’s Kim Kardashian and LaLa Vazquez ate dinner at celebrity hot spot Katsuya without their men again last night.

Sean “Puffy” Combs’ arm candy, Cassie, has nothing else to do with her spare time. So she might as well do fashion shoots to deal with the boredom. Cassie appears in a new fashion spread for BUST magazine. I’ve never heard of it either.
