In a move that is completely legal, superstar Mary J. Blige filed a lawsuit in a Manhattan courtroom against street vendors who plan to sell bootlegged t-shirts and other tour memorabilia outside her concert tomorrow.
She can do that because of a law allowing people to sue “Jane Does” and “John Does” who will be […]

On February 11, I received an email from an aide to WBLS shock jock Wendy Williams who wanted me to give her a quick call. I assumed, since she worked for Wendy, she wanted the rest of the audio of the Keyshia Cole call that I posted on my site that day.
Instead, she wanted […]

A man who has been stalking tv talk show host Tyra Banks for months now, was set free yesterday by a Manhattan judge.
Brady Green, 37, sent harassing emails to Tyra and has hounded her with phone calls and letters for months. On Tuesday, the Dublin, GA native took a bus to New York […]

Kwasi Asare, the long-suffering New Media Marketing Manager for Bad Boy Entertainment, sent out an official response to the LA Times article from his boss Sean Combs.
We know Sean didn’t write it, but the response says, in part, “This story is beyond ridiculous and is completely false. Neither Biggie nor I had any […]

Atlanta producer Polow Da Don was the victim of an attempted robbery last night. I wasn’t going to post this story because he wasn’t hurt and it was an attempted robbery. I love Polow, but I’m not going to post a story every time a rapper gets robbed of his fake jewelry…
Then I […]

EDIT:
If you missed it, Oprah briefly interviewed convicted felon Marion Jones on her show today. Apparently, Jones is already in federal custody and was not able to fly to Chicago to appear in person on the show.
As predicted, Oprah went a little easy on Marion (probably due to time constraints). She asked Jones only […]

Raz B finally recanted his vicious allegations against his former manager Chris Stokes. No doubt he feared being sued for libel, slander and ruining a man’s reputation. I’m sure the producers of their reality show didn’t want to be sued either.
Let this be a lesson to you all that you can’t believe everything you hear. […]

A Cleveland judge admonished Yung Joc for being late to his arraignment on Wednesday afternoon. But the judge allowed the rapper to remain free on $100,000 bond pending a hearing on a felony gun charge.
Yung Joc was arrested Sunday morning and charged with carrying a concealed weapon after attempting to board a Delta […]

UPDATE:
I just heard from an inside source that Yung Joc is on his way to Cleveland. Apparently there was a mix up by Joc’s attorney who advised his client that he did not have to make a personal appearance before the judge this morning.
The attorney, who is based in Cleveland, apparently believed he could make […]

Hopefully everyone had a joyful Holiday. I bought my mom a TV for Christmas and my niece is here from Jamaica so she helped me assemble the TV stand before the delivery guy delivered the TV. We had Big fun this Christmas.
The same can also be said for the Clifford “T.I.” Harris household. T.I. released […]

This is not a rumor: Apparently, some of Grand Hustle’s artists are very confident in the government’s case against their boss Clifford “T.I.” Harris. At least one GH artist has expressed interest in moving to a different label.
The word is the artists feel that T.I. will do at least 2-5 years in the federal pen […]

We know about the Hip Hop police, but is there a special task force targeting professional athletes as well? By professional athletes, you know I mean the brothers. If there’s one thing professional athletes and rappers learned in 2007, it is that they are under the microscope and their actions are being monitored […]
