Buck's Manager Says It Was A Misunderstanding

Here's his statement: “All [Buck] said when he got on stage was that he was trying to make Cashville Records the next G-Unit cause 50 didn't share [those millions]. He was joking, talking about the Vitaminwater deal. I guess I can see how they might have misunderstood, but he definitely wasn’t dissing. There’s no beef."

Sounds like backtracking to me, but whatever.

Busta Rhymes Unhappy Birthday

Spies say Busta Rhymes' 35th birthday wasn't too happy when he celebrated at club Suite in Miami this past weekend. They say he acted miserable and no one in his entourage spoke to him all night, while he just stood in a corner alone with his bodyguard. When one of the waitresses brought him a bottle of Cristal with a lit sparkler sticking out of the cork, he claimed he never wanted it and ordered her to send it back. They say he complained he wasn't paying for the liquor either and spent the rest of the night mouthing the words to his own songs.

They plan to rename the book, "Confessions of a Double Murderer" and sell it.

The battle over the Michal Jackson's finances is detailed in a sworn deposition he gave for a federal lawsuit scheduled to go to trial this week. Michael says his brother Randy and a guy named Don Stabler tried to get him to sign over his fortune during the child molestation trial.
When Mike refused to sign over his stuff, Stabler went nuts, he was like 'What's the problem? You're not down, you're with the Jews now. You're not down with blacks anymore?" Mike said the next time he saw dude, "He wanted to take my head off." And his brother Randy wasn't too happy, either.

Damon Dash's cousin Darien wants a peice of Michael too.

But Jackson claimed he's never heard of Dash, and doesn't remember signing any agreement.

No Jail Time for Foxy Brown

Fox Boogie got her probation restored even though she left town without permission and got arrested while she was gone! The judge could have jailed her for up to a year for violating probation by going to Florida.

"I'm going to restore her to probation," Criminal Court Judge Melissa Jackson said over objections by a Probation Department lawyer. "There's no necessity for the court to monitor her." Over the past two months, the 27-year-old rapper has kept appointments with her probation officer, gotten permission before leaving the state, passed her drug tests and attended required anger management classes, Jackson said.
