R.I.P. Heavy D
From TMZ.com:
Rap legend Heavy D — one of the most influential rappers of the ’90s — died earlier today … TMZ has learned.
Heavy D — real name Dwight Arrington Myers — was rushed to an L.A. hospital around noon today … and was pronounced dead at the hospital at 1 PM. He was 44 years old.
We’ve learned a 911 call was placed from Heavy’s Beverly Hills home around 11:25 AM to report an unconscious male on the walkway .
When help arrived, we’re told Heavy D was conscious and speaking — and was transported to a nearby hospital.
He died a short time later.
Cops are investigating the death — and so far, there are no obvious signs of foul play.
UPDATE II:
Law enforcement tell TMZ … Heavy D had just returned from shopping and walked up some stairs when he began having trouble breathing. Adam Mills, a designer who was in the building and knew Heavy D, found him leaning against a railing and clearly in distress. Adam tells us he cradled Heavy D in his lap as others called 911. Adam says Heavy D was conscious and said to him, “I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe.” When paramedics took Heavy D to the hospital he had a pulse. People in the building are saying he died of a heart attack, but we have not been able to confirm that. Law enforcement sources tell us … no foul play was involved and so far they only know the cause of death was “medical.”
UPDATE I:
Heavy D died less than 24 hours after tweeting his condolences to legendary boxer Joe Frazier who died Monday, Nov. 7 of cancer. Heavy D’s final tweet was “BE INSPIRED!”

LaShon Dixon (T.I.’s baby mama) has something to say
After reading a few disrespectful tweets criticizing her youngest son, Domani, for following in his daddy, T.I.’s footsteps, LaShon Dixon took to her Twitter page to respond intelligently to the haters. LaShon let them know that the 10-year-old rapper is allowed to follow his dreams because he has exceeded both of his parents’ expectations of him.
LaShon pointed out that her son has perfect attendance at school, is a honor student, respectful, and a talented “illustrator and lyric writer”. And I might add that his speech is near perfect. So leave the boy alone! At least he’s not in the streets gang bangin’.
Listen to Domani’s first track, “Stacks On Deck”, after the break!
In Case You Missed It: ‘Basketball Wives: LA’, Ep 11
In last night’s episode, the BBWLA cast are still vacationing in Hawaii. The ladies are tired of Jackie Christie’s hypocritical back stabbing, so they take a vote and decide to kick troublemaker Jackie off the island — or at least away from them. “We feel like at this point, collectively, you need to go,” Laura Govan tells her.
But Jackie doesn’t go quietly. She feels betrayed by her friends, Gloria Govan and Draya Face. Jackie seeks comfort in the arms of her loyal husband Doug, “I AM the island!,” she tells him. “I’ve been here, done that sh*t, sixteen, seventeen years! You little punks is new to this and I’m true to this. You all wanna be Jackie Christie!!” Doug nods his head and offers advice, but he is careful not to talk over his wife who has the upper hand in their marriage. Jackie and Doug switched roles a long time ago. It’s an arrangement that works best for them because it fits their unique personalities. Doug is the meek, quiet, submissive partner, while Jackie is dominant in their Folie à deux relationship (“madness shared by two”).
Cain’s Accuser Hugged Him at a Tea Party Meeting a Month Ago
Sharon Bialek’s story is unraveling faster than Beyonce’s baby bump hoax!
According to the Chicago Sun Times, GOP candidate Herman Cain’s most recent accuser, Sharon Bialek, acted like a groupie when Cain attended a tea party meeting at the Renaissance Hotel and Convention Center in Chicago in late September.
According to WIND radio co-host Amy Jacobson, “They hugged each other backstage in a full embrace like old friends.
She grabbed his arm and whispered in his left ear.
She kept talking as he bent to listen, and he kept saying “Uh, huh. Uh, huh.”
As you know, Bialek, 50, hired infamous attorney Gloria Allred this week and accused Cain of sexually harassing her when she applied for a job in the 1990s.
But her story is being shot full of holes by friends and associates who say the woman is a gold digger.
According to Jacobson, AM 560 WIND radio sponsored a TeaCon meeting in Schaumburg Sept. 30-Oct. 1 at the Renaissance Hotel and Convention Center.
She said: “I had turned on [the] TV to find out who was Cain’s accuser, and I almost fell over when I saw it was Sharon Bialek accusing Cain of groping her genitals.”
“I was waiting for Herman Cain’s ‘Accuser No. 4’ to surface — and up pops Sharon!”
“I couldn’t believe it. I was shocked.”
Taylor Swift Brings Out Nelly (video)
Taylor Swift continued her outreach program for African American fans by bringing out rapper Nelly (who has fallen off considerably) during her Speak Now concert in Houston. “We’ve got a special treat for you tonight, Houston. Nelly’s here!,” she said as the audience applauded politely for the “Tip Drill” rapper. Taylor and Nelly then performed her hit “Just a Dream.”
In previous shows, Taylor has surprised her country music fans with appearances by T.I, Usher and B.O.B.
Earlier this week, Taylor introduced the newest member of her family to her millions of followers on Twitter.
New Herman Cain Accuser a “Complete Gold Digger”
Another woman has come forward with scandalous allegations of sexual harassment against GOP candidate Herman Cain. But her own friends are calling the woman a gold digger who is only out for money.
Though her lawyer Gloria Allred painted a respectable and prestigious education and employment history for Sharon Bialek, 50, just a day later it has been revealed that she has not held a job for more than two years and has filed for bankruptcy twice.
A friend of Ms Bialek, from Chicago, told the New York Post: “She has a very infectious personality. It’s easy to see how she won [Cain] over. But the reality of her situation is — she’s a complete gold digger. It’s all about the money.”
Bialek’s fiancé, Mark Harwood, who has been dating Bialek for several years, said he was “shocked” when Ms Bialek told him on Friday about the allegations. It seemed strange that Bialek never mentioned the allegations to her boyfriend of three years. But Harwood said he is supporting her.
