Al Sharpton To Michael Richards : Meet Me In South Central

Michael Richards tried to reach out to the
Black community by offering an apology for
his racist tirade to Al Sharpton. Al said he wasn't
ready to accept unless Richards was willing to come
to either Harlem or South Central to give it.
We all know if Harlem or South Central
had been in the house that night things would have
gone a lot differently. Sorry O.C. brothers, ya'll
lost credibility letting that slide
without at least pretending to rush the stage.

Rub Shoulders with Michael Jackson in Tokyo

singing, live bands and dancing with Michael Jackson

Mike is not performing and you don't get to meet him. He's supposed
to make some remarks and you get food and a
signed photo, but that's it.

Tales From Jay Z's Hangar Tour

From Joshua Radin's most recent MySpace bulletin:

i just got back from las vegas - i was there for one night with the cast and crew of "scrubs" - so that was a lot of fun. many funny people going crazy in 24 hours. we get there, we hit the blackjack tables, we win, well some of us, then we eat, then we get escorted to a private table upstairs for a jay-z show at 3am. tv people do it right. to be honest, i don't know much about hip hop. i like to dance to it but i can't remember ever listening to the lyrics. well, jay-z is like the beatles of rap so i figured i'd give it a shot. especially cause it was free and i was sitting on the stage about 18 inches from jay-z the entire hour he performed. crazy. also crazy was paris hilton who was sitting next to me the whole night. seriously, next to me, like our legs were touching for a good 5 hours. now don't get the wrong idea. she never once said hello, nor even looked in my direction. five hours. and it was unreal to watch. she must have pulled a compact out of her bag every 6 minutes to stare at herself and pose, while jay-z was performing 18 inches from us. so high-larious. then the best part: after jay-z was finished (by the way, he was introduced to the crowd by michael "let's get ready to rumble" buffer) jay-z left the stage and paris, who had been swilling straight vodka from the grey goose bottle for hours, gets up on stage, has the people in charge throw her "record" on the house stereo for her to lip sync two of her songs. she gets up on the stage, pukes, leaves. note this: she was unable to successfully mouth words that someone else wrote for her. i find the music business charming.

Halle Berry Abandon's Eric Benet's Daughter?

I saw this on Lipstickalley. Can anybody confirm?
Is Halle Berry dogging Eric Benet's daughter India?
Does anyone else watch BET J? Well India is on there with her dad. Of course they had to bring up his ex Halle Berry. Poor India was near tears when she talked about how Halle left her like that. She says she doesn't know what SHE did to her....but she never would have believed she would totally abandon her like that.

Fox Boogie Booed Off Stage

One of illseed's people dropped this on him.
What's good Illseed? I just went to the club last night in Hartford,CT and was treated to a surprise performance by the Ill NaNa, Foxy Brown. As soon as she took the stage, she threw her ROC sign up and yelled Rocafella all night. The crowd was younger and although they were surprised, they weren't too amused. She couldn't catch a beat to save her life but maybe she was drunk. She spit a few acapella verses aimed at Lil Kim and Rah Digga that were decent but it just wasn't coming together. Being 25, I was pretty excited about the whole ordeal but a half hour of the DJ fumbling records and Foxy not remembering ANY verse she ever wrote, the crowd started to boo her. She didn't even remember her "Who shot ya" remix verse. I was sad. She looked okay though. I would have hit. The night ended up with everyone peacefully leaving to the yell of Foxy Brown " Rocafella and Fox 5 for life" . Just wanted to put you on.

Networks Pull the Plug on O J Simpson

One by one Fox affiliates are pulling the plug on that
disgusting Oj Simpson special where he's going to
read from the book he wrote hypothetically describing
the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her
friend Ron Goldman. Major Bookstore chains are also
grappling with the decision of whether or not to stock the book.
Some stations are still planning to run the two part interview.
Are you going to watch? Will you buy the book?
If it comes on, I'm gonna watch it.
The book? I'll borrow from the library.

Trina Cheated On Lil Wayne?

Remember when we was speculating on why
Trina and Lil Wayne broke up? According
to Ill Seed, Weezy got a hot verse
on "All Alone" were he spits,
"You cheated on godson baby girl that’s a sin/
But I forgive you, but I can’t give you/
Another chance ma, you’re in my rearview/
And I put that ring on your finger, I was all in/
But now it’s just a symbol of what could have been"
Cheated on Wayne? With who? 
No wonder she was in tears and refusing to talk about it
in the December issue of Sister 2 Sister magazine.

BETTER RUMOR UPDATE
JuiicyScoop says it ain't Trina Wayne's crying over,
but Nivea. Who you think got F Baby crying?

Dwyane Wade Curses Out Wife in Public?

Juicy gossip overheard on Lipstick Alley
Not to give myself away but I was in a restaurant last night and Mr & Mrs Wade was with another couple. Because my butt was nosy, I was ALL up in the conversation. Apparently, Sivvy (Siovaughn) made a snide remark regarding a well known Miami jump off and said something along the lines of "I dont know why you act like this sometimes"- Next thing I know, he says "B word quit bugging-thats why I slept with her to begin with"I must've spilled my drink cuz I was like "Oh NO HE DIDNT!"...Sivvy looked sooooo embarrassed! She said, "Did you just call me the B word?"- Dwaye was like -yeah cuz you wont stop talking...basically they kept going back and forth. Dude didn't even apologize or NOTHING....The woman that was with em kept rubbing her hand and Sivvy looked like she was 0.2 seconds from having a breakdown. 5 minutes after he called her a B word she got up and left. He remained in the restaurant for 30 more minutes and then left while telling his boy, Man f that, she wanna trip then she gon be a b word!
