Diddy apologizes for stunt he pulled at T.I.’s welcome home party (video)
By now most of you have heard about the lame stunt that Sean “Puffy” Combs pulled at T.I.’s welcome home party at Atlanta’s Compound nightclub during the BET Hip Hop Awards weekend.
The whole thing started when Combs, who shared the VIP booth next to Atlanta lifestyle specialist Kenny Burns’ VIP booth, got upset that Burns and his boys were waving their decanters of Grey Goose around in the air. Burns is a marketing rep for Grey Goose.
I should pause here to say that both Combs and Burns are paid handsomely by liquor companies to promote their respective vodka brands.
Also, Puffy and Kenny go way back to their college days where they were both well-known for promoting parties. Those two men are as thick as thieves. They are tighter than Chris Brown’s skinny jeans. So the idea that Combs and Burns would be fighting in a club over liquor bottles that they don’t even have to pay for is ludicrous.
In other words, it would never go down like that unless there was some hidden agenda.
The real story is likely that Combs tried to pull a stunt at T.I.’s welcome home party to promote his liquor brand — knowing full well that T.I. had just gotten out of prison and didn’t need that kind of drama.
The Real Reason Tyrese was kicked out of that radio station
When R&B crooner/actor Tyrese took to Twitter.com, tweeting his 2 million followers about being kicked out of a radio station, we knew he was lying. The male attention whore complained that Delaware’s WJKS-FM kicked him off the air earlier this week for objecting to the location of a liquor store across the street from a school.
The station’s general manager, Tony Q, spoke up about the incident today, and, of course, his account differs greatly from Tyrese’s story.
In a long letter posted on the WJKS-FM website, Mr. Q stated that the singer was shown the door for being rude to the DJ and for promoting a concert on the air without prior authorization.
You came on lecturing our listeners, you then asked the DJ if we had any listeners. What kind of question was that if we had any listeners. Then you went right into promoting your big night at the University of Delaware. You received the full air time you deserved. We did not cut off your mike, we did not let the audiences know that the interview was over but you did. You couldn’t wait to tweet your words all over and let people believe that you were kicked off because you were talking about liquor store, that was not the reason. You got away with taking advantage of the only remaining independent station in the North East.
According to Mr. Q, Tyrese disrespected Delawareans on the air and, after the interview, he was kicked out of a Doubletree Hotel for causing a commotion. The station has retaliated by removing Tyrese’s current single, “Stay”, from rotation, as well as removing the singer’s entire music catalogue from the air.

Jackie Christie’s daughter is as dysfunctional as she is
The daughter of “Basketball Wives: LA” cast member Jackie Christie appears to mirror her mother’s dysfunctional personality traits. 22-year-old Ta’kari Lee took to her blog yesterday to air out her estranged mom for mistreating her elderly mother (Ta’kari’s grandmother) who was dying of cancer.
As you know, Christie worked her mother’s terminal illness into the reality show’s plot, which didn’t sit well with many of the show’s viewers.
Christie apparently pretended to be distressed over her mother’s impending death. But in her long, rambling blog post, Ta’kari says Christie was “verbally and mentally” abusive to her mother before she died. As you know, Christie’s mom passed away on Tuesday.
Ta’kari, who has deep-seated emotional issues inherited from her mother, has two children out of wedlock — a 2 year-old and a 9-month-old infant by 2 different men. A reality show is the worst possible form of therapy for these two women.
Children don’t forget. So be careful how you raise them.
The Scene About My Grandma and Her Cancer..SmH.. I am Not Doubting That She Was Sad About My Grandmas Condition…But I Wonder If Tanya Talking About Cherishing The Memories U Have With The People U Love Hit A nerve For Her… She Knows Like My Grandma And I Know – My Grandma Was Always Being Disrespected and Treated Badly… And The Same Way I compare My Relationship With My Mom Like Being In A Violent Relationship – Although My Mom Was NOT Physically Abusive… She Was Very Mentally and Verbally Abusive – Not Just To Us Kids But My Grandma As Well… She Would Lash Out At Us And Make Us Feel So Low Then Try To Correct It With Other Things..Like An Abusive Husband Beating Your Ass And Then Buying U Flowers Or Gifts..
Is Swizz Beatz Cheating On Alicia Keys Already?
Even before insecure singer Alicia Keys married rap producer Swizz Beatz — and had a baby by him — she knew he couldn’t keep it in his pants. Maybe that’s what attracted her to him? The fact that other women wanted her man must have been a strong aphrodisiac? Insecurity, not money issues, is the main reason 80% of black marriages end in divorce.
According to gossip blog Bossip.com, Alicia’s man Swizz Beatz has a secret lover named Chris, a LSLH beauty whom he engages in long, hot chat sessions that his wife probably doesn’t know about.
As I’ve said many times in the past, men are not designed to ignore the advances of a beautiful woman — unless he’s gay. It’s in a man’s nature to cheat. But it is wrong to marry a woman and make a vow to always be faithful when he knows he can’t.
Yes, married men can have female friends. But their wives usually know about them — if the married men are honest.
Anyway, Bossip posted a series of private chat messages between “Chris” and Swizz. She plays her cards very well. She boosts Swizz’s arrogant ego and charms him into sending her plane tickets and such.
For every stupid baller on a social networking site there are gold diggers waiting to take advantage of him. (Apparently Swizz Beatz is stupid).
The ball is now in Alicia’s court. Let’s see what she does with this information or if she blames the chick for chasing her man.

Lil Wayne tells screaming fan to shut the f*ck up
According to record label exec, JD Anderson, who runs the Life Files blog, rapper Lil Wayne went off on a female fan while kicking some rhymes during a recent show. Weezy was in a zone acting like he was at a poetry slam session or something.
When a female fan wouldn’t stop screaming, Weezy said, “Shut the f*ck up! Stop it for real. If you’re really a fan you would shut the f*ck up and listen to me.”
Well, she paid her money and she was at a rap concert, so why can’t she scream?
Lil Wayne needs to get over himself. Just because BET nominated him 18 times for that bullsh*t album he put out doesn’t mean his CD is the Holy Grail of Hip Hop — or that fans have to hush up whenever he speaks. Who does he think he is?
See, this is what happens when you give ignorant, uneducated narcissists too much attention.
By the way, last week another industry exec (not JD) reached out to Sandrarose.com with proof that a certain record label CEO bought up hundreds of thousands of Weezy’s albums in order to artificially pad the sales figures of his latest release, Carter IV.
When this particular record label releases what they know to the media it will send shock waves throughout the industry. Stay tuned…
Jennifer Hudson is still in denial
The Internet is buzzing about how Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson went off on a fan who asked her a simple question on the social networking site Twitter.com yesterday.
A user named @1984Lips4daze posed this question to J-Hud on Twitter: “@IAMJHUD Did you get surgery to assist in your weight loss? Or is it all weight watchers?”
To which an irate Hudson responded:
Hudson also tweeted to the same fan: “Thank u for your hate n clearly the gym ain’t working for u cuz u look a mess.”
Um, yeah, this is the same Jennifer Hudson who wants us to believe she’s a size zero — all 5 ft 9 of her. I mean, come on, at 5 ft 9 she would have to be a skeleton to wear a size zero. Who is she fooling?
Hudson’s rude treatment of her fan didn’t go unnoticed by her other followers who put the Dreamgirls star on full blast on Twitter.
Isn’t it written somewhere into her contract with Weight Watchers that she can’t make a public spectacle of herself while representing the brand?
T.O. Sued Again for Not Paying Child Support
NFL star Terrell Owens was slapped with yet another lawsuit (by the same baby mama) for not paying his child support.
According to the AJC.com:
Melanie Paige Smith, in a civil suit filed Aug. 9 in Fulton Superior Court, alleges Owens has not paid child support for the month of August and has said he does not plan to make future payments.
The flamboyant football player was ordered in May 2007 to pay $5,000 per month, according to the suit, which estimated his monthly income at $666,000.
Owens made June and July payments only after being threatened with legal action, the document states.
The 37-year-old Alabama native, who holds or shares several NFL records, is currently a free agent. He last played for the Cincinnati Bengals in 2010.
Smith and Owens have a 5-year-old daughter.
