He added: “AG Entertainment is working hard to finalize the preparations for the big Grand Opening!” So stay tuned for the details!
Celebs like comedians Bill Bellamy, left, and Chris Tucker showed up to support the talented chanteuse.

Meeka sues troublemaker Tami Roman for assault
BBQ Wives stars Tami Roman and Meeka Claxton got into it at an Italian nightclub recently. Tami got Meeka in a headlock, and according to TMZ.com, Tami “assaulted, battered, beat, threatened, menaced, attacked, jumped on, pushed to the ground, thrashed, punched, and shoved” Meeka … causing serious injury to the BBQ Wives newcomer.
So Meeka filed a frivolous lawsuit against Tami — but not against Bravo who filmed the beat down. Hmm…
TMZ broke the story … Meeka and Tami had been at odds with each other for a long time — and according to sources close to the show, Tami tried to settle the score once and for all last month … with a fist fight.
Meeka wants Tami to cough up unspecified damages, claiming the incident cost her a day of filming — and put her through an emotional and physical hell.
So far, no word back from Tami’s camp.
When is the justice system going to get tired of these reality stars using the system for publicity?
McDonald’s manager punches customer in the face (Video)
An irate McDonald’s manager punched a customer in the face during a heated argument over a service dog that the customer brought into the Cobb County restaurant.
The customer, Jennifer Schwenker, told police that the incident occurred on July 12 at the McDonald’s restaurant on Bells Ferry Road in Marietta, Georgia.
Schwenker said she took her autistic twin sons to lunch at the restaurant, along with their service dog.
The manager, Tiffany Allen, who was off duty (and carrying her toddler), approached Schwenker to tell her that the service dog was not allowed inside the fast food restaurant.
But Georgia law is clear on service dogs being allowed everywhere in Georgia, including inside restaurants. Schwenker said she informed Allen of the law that’s been on the books for years.
Still, Allen continued to argue with Schwenker, even pursuing her down the hall and into the restroom.
When Schwenker lost track of one of her twins, she threw down her soda and went to look for him. That’s when Allen, who thought Schwenker intentionally splashed her with the soda, placed her child on a counter and chased after Schwenker. Surveillance video shows two of Allen’s co-workers attempting to hold Allen back.
Ghey NFL Player’s Victim Says Attack Was ‘Violent’
Cincinnati Bengals running back Cedric Benson was arrested last weekend and charged with the misdemeanor assault on his former roommate. The roommate, Clavens ‘Miami’ Charles, accused Benson of roughing him up on an Austin, Texas, street corner at 5 a.m. Sunday.
According to police, Benson approached Charles on the corner, and after a brief argument, Benson began throwing round house punches and pummeling Charles about the face and neck.
The police report mentioned that the fight started after Benson told Charles they “needed to talk about their problems.”
2 hoodrats fight on NY subway train as baby stroller rolls out door
How embarrassing…
Earlier this week, two NY women brawled over a subway seat — and it was all caught on tape. The fracas appeared to start when one hoodrat, a mom with a baby stroller, pulled out a pocket sized can of mace and sprayed another subway rider in the face.
Subway passengers scatter as fists fly and the hair pulling begins. As the women brawl, screams of “Where’s the baby?” fill the air. Meanwhile, the unattended baby stroller rolls out the door and onto the subway platform. Concerned passengers are seen running after the runaway stroller as the fisticuffs continue. Luckily, the baby wasn’t injured.
Eventually, female passengers try to break up the altercation, but only after an elderly gentleman intervened first.
When it’s all over, the aggressor (the one who was maced and who ultimately won the fight) picks up her wig off the filthy floor and dusts it off. The moral of the story is: if you’re going to pull out a can of whip azz on a crazy bish, make sure it’s the industrial strength kind that will put her on the floor and clear out the entire subway car.
MTV Snubs Rihanna; Judge OK’s Photog’s “S&M” Copyright Suit
If Rihanna didn’t have bad luck, she would have no luck at all.
A Manhattan judge yesterday greenlighted famed photog David LaChapelle’s multi-million dollar copyright suit against the troubled songstress.
According to the NY Post’s Page Six:
In a ruling released yesterday, Manhattan federal Judge Shira Scheindlin said the surrealist shutterbug “successfully alleges” that the songstress, her record label and video director may have copied his provocative images for Rihanna’s “S&M” video.
Scheindlin cited the “hot-pink and white striped walls,” “women wearing frizzy red wigs” and “black tape wrapped around a man.” Source
And yesterday, MTV delivered yet another blow to the 23-year-old pop star when the network released its nominations for the 2011 MTV VMA Awards. Rihanna received only two nominations for guest appearances on Kanye West’s “All Of The Lights” and Eminem’s “Love The Way You Lie.”
MTV ignored her hits “Only Girl In The World,” “What’s My Name,” “S&M,” “California King Bed,” and “Man Down.”
They say Rihanna’s unrealistic demands and Diva-like behavior is what led MTV to deliver the ultimate snub!
We believe it. We told you that her record label held a top secret meeting earlier this year to discuss their temperamental superstar.
Iran uses city busses to execute convicted rapists
A grisly video making its rounds on the Internets gives new meaning to the phrase ‘dead man walking.’
The footage shows three men lined up on top of buses as a crowd of onlookers gather nearby. Ropes are looped around the men’s necks and tied to the bridge supports above them. After their crimes are announced over a loudspeaker, the buses on which the condemned men stand are slowly driven away, leaving the men swinging by their necks as the crowd, including children, cheer.
The convicted men are literally forced to “walk it out” before the nooses tighten around their necks and robs them of their life breath.
The Middle East arm of Amnesty International has denounced the public executions of the three Iranian men convicted of rape and sentenced to hang by bus.
