No Change of Venue For Dame Dash Sexual Assault Case

Back in 2003 at a New Year's eve party off the coast of Brazil, this model chick accused Damon Dash of sexually assualting her. Dame was never criminally charged, but the chick filed a 15 million dollar lawsuit against Dame. Dame tried to get the case tried down in Brazil, but the girl and her lawyer argued that she, Damon and all the witnesses live and work in New York so the case is being tried in New York . Can't wait. (New York Post)

Forget About New Music From Big Baby Jesus

The fight over the estate of Old Dirty Bastard is getting uglier, if that's possible. Already this year ODB's widow Icelene, who ODB hadn't been with in years, tried to cremate ODB to thwart paternity tests for all of ODB's other kids, now she says Damon Dash owes a couple hundred thousand to the estate and has no intention of paying. The money Dame "owes" will come from ODB's last unreleased record, and Icelene says Dame would rather not release the music than pay her. Icelene is also claiming Ol' Dirty's mama, Cherry, stole from $200,000 to $500,000 owed to the estate and she's suing his mother, too. I guess they don't call her ICE-lene for nothing.

Carmen Calls Radio Show During Nas Interview and Blasts Him

Nas was on a Chicago radio show promoting his new CD, Hip Hop is Dead, when the interviewer asked him whether or not he punched his baby mama Carmen in the face like she claims in her book. Nas tries to dismiss the question, claiming he hasn't read the book, doesn't intend too, and said he never speaks to Carmen, even regarding their daughter Destiny. He said all that was handled through assistants. Why Carmen call the show and say not only has Nas read the book, but he helped her outline the chapters?! She calls him a liar and a hypocrite and said he was the one who told her to put in the part about Beyonce. Listen to rips of the show here, here, and here. (EUR)

Venus and Serena Williams Facing Perjury Charges

Venus and Serena are in the middle of a

multi-million dollar breach of contract suit.

These guys say they broke a commitment to play

in a 2001 battle of the sexes tournament, claiming

they lost millions when the girls pulled out. Venus

and Serena say they never agreed to do it, and that

their father made that commitment acting on his own.

That's where the perjury charge comes in.

The girls have testified in court that despite tax returns

that show payments to Richard Williams for management

fees, they both have testified that their father

has never been their manager and had no authority

to commit them to a deal. Attorneys for the

sisters and their father claim the payments

were mischaracterized for tax-deduction

purposes and that Richard Williams

was paid merely for coaching services.

Damn, from fighting a lawsuit to catching a case.

That's messed up.

During an interview Beyonce was asked if she feels

any jealously toward Jennifer Hudson, since it's been

widely reported that Jennifer stole the show in their

new movie "Dream Girls". Beyoncé said she knew the

character she played wasn't the star ...

"I'm already a star. I already have nine Grammys.

Everyone knows I can sing." she replied

but why she have to add,

"I wish I could have gained 20 pounds and played Effie"

You did not have to say that Beyonce Giselle!
