Back To The Beat

This chick is coming apart.

Fox Boogie skiped a court date, had a warrant out

for her arrest, shoplifted a couple four hundred dollar

belts, cussed out and threatened a 17 year old, pleaded

guilty to those assualt charges filed by

manicurists last year, then tried to rescind the plea

after she found out she'd be on probation for 3 years

and have to give random drug tests.

Please BET, can we get a Foxy Brown

reality show?

Fabulousity=Ghetto?

That's what the doorman at P.M. Lounge thought

when he turned away part of Kimora Lee's

entourage for being too "urban". Why didn't

Kim wave her "don't you know who I am" magic wand

and get them in? This is so unfabulous.

Question: What is too urban?

The same night Star and Al got home from a European

vacation, I'm thinking a ten or twelve hour flight,

Al had enough energy to go out with the

boys ...without Star.

And How You Doing?

Ne-Yo, I don't know who you pissed off, but you

better apologize! Somebody is out to get Ne-Yo.

In one week he's been rumored to

come out of the closet in Esscence magazine,

and pictures of some ugly dude getting

brain are being pinned on him.

I bet Usher is behind this mess!

Eminem is obviously back on drugs.

How else do you explain his dousing Hugh Hefner's

youngest girlfriend, Kendra with water on a video set?

Fifty Cent Owns The Game

Although Fifty says The Game's new CD won't be

good without him writing the hooks, unlike with his other

ememies, he says he don't care if Game's release does well,

cause Fifty says,"I make more off of a Game record

than Game does!

But Fifty says, he knows it won't do well.

"Is The Game a good rapper?"

"Yeah", says Fifty,

"But is he a good songwriter? No."

Dammmmmn!

Ya'll rappers need to read them

contracts before you sign 'em!

So this the kid Busta supposedly handed

a two piece last week. His name is Roberto LeBron

and according to him it went like this:

spit at the same time Busta was driving down the street.

He admits his spit hit Busta's car.

Then he says Busta jumped out his Maybach and said

"Homie, did you just spit on my car?"

Then the kid says"I said, 'Sorry, I didn't mean to, "

"I said, 'We're big fans of yours.' And that's the last thing

I said. Then one of his people hit me in the face,

and I fell to the ground. While I was on the ground, Busta

was kicking me, and he kicked me in my face."

But that ain't all. Dude says Busta took his sneakers and tossed

them down the street!

So, not only is Busta not platinum after 9 weeks

on the charts, hell, he ain't even gold, but now he

bout to get sued!

A Girl Like Me

Russell And Kimora Lee Simmons Quietly Unloading Property

Kim and Russell look like such a happy couple at Aoki's b-day party.
Meanwhile, they're selling off property left and right, giving the

distinct impression that the end is near.

Their 35,000 square foot home in New Jersey is on the

market for a staggering 20 million bucks. It boasts both indoor and

outdoor pools, a movie theater, a waterfall, and a "Versace Room"

featuring a bed designed by Gianni Versace. The New York

penthouse, that one we saw on MTV cribs, is up for sale too.

But Russ has been trying to get rid of that place for years. It was almost

sold to Puffy, but the closing date was September 11, 2001.

So, uh, needless to say the deal fell through.

Since then, the asking price on the penthouse

has dropped from 12 million to 6.9.

Whatever's going on, this is a real good look.

Busta Rhymes Grilled Over Bodyguards Murder

Busta Rhymes got arrested last night after

assaulting a concert goer who spit on his car.

People in the know claim ordinarily a person

wouldn't be arrested for something like that,

but say cops used the opportunity to put Busta

under the hot lights about the killing of his former

bodyguard, Israel Ramirez, on the set for the Touch It Remix

video shoot. G-Unit soldier Tony Yayo is thought to have

something to do with the murder, but so far nobody

is talking. Sources claim there's audio of

the shooting with the killer calling

Busta the b-word before pulling the trigger.

If any arrests are made in the near future,

we'll know Busta cracked.

Kelis Says She's The Boss, But Is She Really?

Kelis is stomping mad!

She says her record lable, Jive,

put the song, "F--- Them B----" on her

new CD "Kelis Was Here", without

her permission. Kelis claims the song no

longer represents where she is in her life.

At the time, it was just something she needed

to get off her chest. The lady boss says,

"My label is constantly trying to take

control of me. I'm not a new artist. I've been working

hard to create my persona and have longevity

and they went against my wishes."

I sure didn't. I also didn't know

Anyway,

Kimora talks to the Queen B, Lil Kim on her show's

They say Kimora made her do it.

Made her? Why would she have to make her?

You know Kim wants be on TV.

However, I do recall Kim saying Tyra was the only one

who stood by her while she was in jail,

so maybe she owes Tyra an interview first.

Hmmmmm

Eve Dumps Her African Prince

You can't buy a girl who has money!

African prince Teodorin Nguema Obiang found

that out the hard way. After spending $700,000 to rent

a yacht for Eve's Christmas party in St. Barts, letting

her drive one of his Bentleys and dropping 25 mil

into a record label that went nowhere, Eve has decided

to distance herself from the guy.

Why you ask? Cause dude's father is alleged to

be one of the worst dictators in the world and that's a little

too much for our girl, Eve. The father allegedly

steals over 700 million dollars a year from his oil rich country while

the people exist on a dollar a day. He's been accused

of everything from murder to cannibalism.

He's even suspected in several attempted "suicides"

of his own brother. It's all pretty wild.

Diddy's Eye-watering List of Demands for British Radio Station

The New York Daily News lists celebrity jobs

before they were famous and 11 million dollar

necklace wearer, Sean Puffy Diddy Combs,

claims he used to clean toilets in a Mexican restaurant.

Eww. Didn't want to know that. The imagery is killing me.

In other Puffy news,

you know he's in Europe promoting his new record, Press Play,

so he's doing all the radio station rounds and he got

'em going crazy with his demands.

He asked for and got a bullet proof Maybach.

But get this, the car was too big to be

driven to his hotel entrance and they had to park it around

the corner. So what Puffy do? Demand a second car to

take him the extra 300 yards!

Then he had a hissy fit when he got to a radio

station and found food for him on plastic plates.

He refused to eat until china plates were brought in.

Then he demanded a castle for his record release party,

but had to settle on a palace. Oh boo hoo!

Oh yeah, and absolutely no Christal!

Lil Kim got robbed, Trina got robbed, Nelly got robbed.

Puff just don't strike me as the careless type.

It's either an insurance job,

or somebody in his entourage is a thief.

At least he didn't get it snatched off his neck

Malcom X's Grandson Arrested

Is it me, or does this boy look just like Denzel?

Anyway

Malcolm X's grandson has been arrested again.

The 21 year old, who was just released after doing a year in jail

for attemped robbery, was arrested for smashing the window

of a Mt. Vernon, New York donut shop. Two patrons were injured.

Sadly, this young man has had a very troubled life.

His mother, Qubilah, who witnessed her father's assassination

at age four, is a reported crackhead and young Malcolm is

blamed for causing the fire that killed his grandmother,

Dr. Betty Shabazz.

Keep Malcolm in your prayers

and remember, the first part of his grandfather's life

was VERY similar to this. Except for the crackheaded mama

and causing your grandmother's death part, the parallels are eerie.

This fool was buying stuff, taking it to his car

and then taking the receipts back in,

getting the same stuff off the shelves and returning it!

$850.00 worth of stuff!

Old Claudy blamed it on stress and sleep deprivation.

Anyhoo,

he pleaded guilty, and got off with

“probation before judgment” -- a disposition available to first offenders.

Essentially, the judge acknowledges the guilty plea, but

keeps it off the defendant's criminal record.
