Happy Birthday to Eddie and Angel Murphy
Happy Birthday to Eddie Murphy and his daughter Angel Iris Murphy Spice. Angel, born one year ago today on her famous father's birthday, is the at the center of one of the ugliest break-ups in Hollywood. Eddie, who has yet to lay eyes on Angel, claimed in recent court papers, that Angel's mother, Melanie "Scary Spice" Brown, tricked him into getting her pregnant by lying about being on birth control and that he only slept with her three times. Mel, who has since gone on to marry creepy duck killer, Stephen Belafonte, says she's finally in a relationship with a real man. Claiming in all her other relationships, she had to be the man. Ouch. Anyway, happy birthday you two.

Diddy's Twin Daughters Snubbed by Mags
They say Diddy is upset that he didn't get the star treatment from People magazine when his twins were born in December 2006. While his ex-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez recently got 6 million dollars, plus the cover and a huge photo spread for her twins, and with Christina Aguilera and Nicole Richie both raking in at least a million dollars for featuring their new babies on the cover of People, Diddy remembers the back of the mag treatment he and Kim Porter got when his twins were born. To make matters worse, insiders say Diddy was paid little or nothing for the privilege.
Beanie Sigel Back In Jail
I can't even remember what he was originally on probation for, he's violated so many times, but rapper Beanie Sigel is back in jail for another violation. This time he gave up somebody else's pee for his court ordered drug test. Beans has dropped dirty in the past, testing positive for Xanax and Percocet more than five times. He was already in a half-way house and had recently gotten his probation extended for leaving Philadelphia without permission. Looks like the judge got tired of his crap because he got sentenced to three months in jail for his latest indiscretion.

Remy Ma Blindsided by Jail Sentence
They say Remy Ma totally didn't expect to go to jail yesterday. Her lawyer was all like, "She didn't even tell her 8 year old son she might not be coming home." They say after the verdict, Remy was pretty stoic, but when the judge remanded her to custody until her April 23rd sentencing, that's when she broke down. Makeda waited for the verdict outside in a car, but some of her family and friends were in the court room, and called out "Bye bye" to Remy and laughed in her face. One of Remy's friends was removed from the court after he stood up and yelled, "F--- Y'all!" They say you could hear Remy wailing all the way down the hall while she was lead to her cell. And I have a question: Was the money in Makeda's purse?

T.I. Plea Deal Includes Jail Time
Rapper T.I. pleaded guilty Thursday to federal weapons possession charges, and will receive a sentence that includes prison time after he completes a period of community service. In the year that he is awaiting sentencing, T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris, must complete at least 1,000 hours of a total 1,500 hours of community service, talking to youth groups about the pitfalls of guns, gangs and drugs. He will be sentenced to serve about 12 months in prison after completing the community service, officials said. His prison time could be increased or reduced, depending on his fulfillment of the terms of the deal and good behavior, they said. Harris, 27, who was dressed in a gray business suit, told the judge he understands the terms of the agreement. He pleaded guilty to possession of unregistered machine guns and silencers, unlawful possession of machine guns and possession of firearms by a convicted felon.
Rey Ma Found Guilty
Remy Ma has been convicted on four of the nine charges against her -- two counts of first-degree assault, attempted coercion, and criminal possession of a weapon. She was found not guilty of gang assault and witness tampering. They say Makeda's friends and family went wild after the verdicts were read, and that Remy was taken from the courtroom in handcuffs and called out "Oh my God!" as she was lead from the room. Your girl is facing from five to 25 years in prison at sentencing.
Allen Iverson Blackmailed by Friend
With friend like these who needs enemies? One of Allen Iverson's homeboys, Andre Steele, got arrested for trying to blackmail him. Investigators would not go into details about the nature of the extortion, but say Andre made the threat through Allen's lawyer in Virginia Beach. 'Dre contacted the attorney and demanded either money and/or property and said if his demands were not met he was going to do something the victim would not like. Andre was arrested and jailed Saturday.
I mean for real, what could Andre possibly have on A.I.? It's no secret that Allen cheats on his wife, who's expecting a new baby, by the way. That's old news. Who knows what 'Dre got on Allen? If you got the juice, kindly leave it in the comment section, mmkthanx!
LA Times Apologizes To Puffy
According to The Smoking Gun, a con artist in Federal prison named James Sabatino created the documents that were the basis for the Times' March 17 report, which suggested that the 1994 shooting of Tupac was planned and perpetrated by Diddy and his associates. The supposed FBI reports and lawsuits Sabatino says he filed were apparently created in the Allenwood federal penitentiary in White Deer, Penn., and can't be found in the bureau's database.
"The bottom line is that the documents we relied on should not have been used," LA Times Editor, Russ Stanton, said in a story posted Wednesday night on the newspaper's Web site. "We apologize both to our readers and to those referenced in the documents ... and in the story." Pulitzer-prize winning reporter Chuck Philips, who wrote the story, and his supervisor, Deputy Managing Editor Marc Duvoisin, also apologized.
