Celebs Out & About: Jay Z, Erykah Badu, Drake, Spike Lee, Sean Combs, Maxwell, Jamie Foxx, Justin Bieber
Aging rapper Jay-Z wore a goofy expression on his face while playing to a half-empty house at Patersons Stadium in Perth, Western Australia yesterday. The problem may have been that Jigga, 41, was opening for the rock band U2. And, well, that crowd is not exactly Hov’s audience. But Mr. Carter will continue to delude himself into thinking he’s loved by everyone. Photo by Photo Agency

Morning Glory: Perrish Cox’s Accuser? **NSFW**
Did you hear the one about the football star and the groupie?
According to a confidential source, the woman who is accusing Denver Broncos rookie cornerback Perrish Cox of sexual assault is a video vixen and butt model who’s very well-known in professional sports circles.
Cox, 23, was arrested last Thursday night and released on bond after the woman went to police with her harrowing tale. She said that Cox took advantage of her sexually while she was “physically helpless” and “incapable of determining the nature of the conduct.” In other words, she was asleep.
Sources say that the woman and Cox were dating from the time he arrived in Denver earlier this year. Then things eventually got out of hand on October 28. Whether an actual rape occurred is up to the courts to decide. But friends of Cox question why she waited so long to press charges if the assault occurred two months ago?
A judge on Thursday ordered the release of the criminal complaint document. Prosecutors had argued that the document remain secret since Cox was a public figure.
For whatever reason, the woman suddenly deleted her Twitter and Myspace pages yesterday afternoon. But thanks to Internet technology (and Google cache) I was able to retrieve them.
Cox, who has lawyered up, hasn’t released a statement but the Broncos management did. You can read that statement here.
“She seems nice and he seems nice,” said a friend of both Cox and the victim. “I can’t see either one of them taking advantage of each other. Why would he ruin his football career to rape her? As much free pu$$y as he can get?”
Aside from the fact that everyone already knows who she is, just why did the woman delete her Twitter page and Myspace? Well, take a look at the pics after the break and you decide.

Vivica A. Fox Says She’s Ready To Settle Down: “I waited for God to send me a good man”
Actress Vivica A. Fox says she is ready to settle down with her young beau, Slimm, a local club promoter who swept the 46-year-old off her feet when they met last year.
“I waited for God to send me a good man, and he’s a good Southern man,” she said to Wendy Williams during the show’s taping in NYC on Wednesday. Slimm sat in the audience and beamed proudly when Vivica hinted that the couple are seriously considering having a baby!
“Is he keeper? Like, do you want to have a baby? Do you want to get married?,” asked Wendy.
“Yes. Absoulutely,” Vivica responded confidently before turning to the audience and asking, “Don’t you guys think it’s time for me to have a baby?”
“YEAH!” they responded enthusiastically. Both Vivica and Wendy discussed the challenges of having a baby when you’re a woman of a certain age. Vivica confirmed she still has her periods, but she hasn’t yet begun testing to see if she’s still ovulating.
Awww, I’m so happy for Slimm! He’s such a nice guy. A true gentleman.
