Lily Allen Threatens Katy Perry
Posted in Life Style, Mel B on the January 12, 2009
Lily Allen is still steaming over Katy Perry’s comment that implied that the British singer was fat. Lily’s still not over it and now, she is threatening to publicize Katy’s phone number on Facebook. Lily wrote about it on her Facebook page saying “I have Katy Perry’s number, someone did me a favour. I’m just waiting for her to open her mouth one more time then it hits Facebook.” It’s not like it’s hard to get your number changed before talking smack again. That should frustrate Lily even more. But if Katy’s not smart, she’s going to have a lot of annoying phone calls, I’m sure.
Female Ex-Con Rappers Get Sued

Foxy Brown and Lil Kim are back in trouble – for the same thing. New York publishers Simon & Schuster are suing both rappers saying that they were paid advances for books that they never delivered on. According to the company, Foxy was paid $75,000 back in 2005 to deliver her autobiography ‘Broken Silence’ by February 2006. Lil Kim was paid $40,000 back in 2003 for a novel which was to be turned in by June 2004. After a good amount of time, the company wants their money back. In the girls’ defense, they were imprisoned for some time. But then again, the dates of their imprisonment was still after the dates for their book releases.
Lil Wayne’s Big Money Problems
Posted in Life Style, Lil Wayne, Rapper on the June 23, 2008
Lil Wayne may be celebrating having a huge #1 album but the good comes with the bad. The rapper has just been slapped with another lawsuit. This time, it’s for failing to pay for work done on his custom Bentley way back in 2005. The suit was filed back in December 2007 when LeMarck deAndre failed to receive payment for modifying Dwayne Carter Jr.’s Bentley. Now, deAndre is filing another suit for $123,800 in damages. Why? Shouldn’t he just have sued for whatever money he was owed? If you ask me, it looks like someone’s just looking to drain Lil Wayne’s cash flow.
Lil Wayne Gets Busted Again
Posted in Life Style, Lil Wayne, Rapper, Rumor, Scandal, Singers on the January 26, 2008
Rapper Lil Wayne has been busted again by authorities in Arizona early Wednesday morning when his tour bus was pulled over and searched by US Border Patrol. The Drug Enforcement Agency was even called in and everything. The rapper is being held in a Yuma, Arizona jail on three felony counts for possession of dangerous drugs, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of narcotics. This is his second arrest in a mere three months. You would think that he would learn something from the first time – or at least wait a year or until the first one gets forgotten. Tsk.

December 30 will mark the anniversary of R&B singer Brandy being involved in a multiply car crash that killed Awatef Aboudihaj yet the LA City Attorney’s Office is yet to file any criminal charges against the singer. The clock is ticking.
Sources are saying that the City Attorney’s Office plans to make the decision at the very last moment. However, if charges aren’t filed, the case would quietly go away. It’s something that Bill Sayed, the lawyer for the victim’s husband, Marouane Hdidou. Sayed questions the delay and speaks of how Brandy continues to live her life without any negative effects unlike his client who’s been forced to spend his holidays and the rest of his life alone.

Some British media falsely reported that Kylie Minogue cancelled all her plans of going on the road in support for her album. But the singer announced on Wednesday that she will be making her way across Europe in 2008. Kylie X 2008 will start on May 6 in Paris and end with two shows at London’s O2 Arena on July 26 and 27.
A statement was released about the tour saying “Minogue and her creative team have devised a new show that she describes herself as ‘fresh, exhilarating and innovative.’ The new show will be a totally different concept to previous Minogue spectaculars, which have seen her fuse her remarkable creativity with groundbreaking technology to become one of the most respected live performers of our time.”

Kanye West made his first public appearance since his mother’s tragic death. The show must go on for the rapper when he performed in Paris for the kick-off date of his European tour on Saturday.
Understandably, the night was very emotional for Kanye. During the end of his set, with the riff of ‘Hey Mama’ starting up, he attempted to make a tribute to his mother but could go no further. The rapper choked up, started crying and broke down on stage. Members of his band came close to console him while fans continued to applaud in support. Kanye then left the stage for 15 minutes but then came back to end the concert with a performance of ‘Stronger’.
Kanye is expected back in the US for his mother’s funeral on Tuesday.
