Foxy Late For Mass Held In Her Honor
Even though Foxy Brown is a confirmed Baptist, a Catholic mass was held in her honor at St. Paul's the Apostle Church on the Upper West Side. So what does Foxy do? Show up late with cameras in tow. Classy! Your girl was wearing a Zac Posen dress, Marc Jacob shoes and carried a $2,200 patent-leather Fendi Spy bag. Too bad it didn't have any money in it. They say after Foxy said her prayers, she lead her entourage to the church's gift shop and picked out $200.00 worth of religious baubles. But once she reached the register, she pulled the old I-left-my-money-in-my-other-purse routine and called out, "Oh, my God! I left all my money in my Louis bag!" She had to say it several times before her bodyguard stepped in and picked up the tab.

Three Suicide Attempts At Oprah's Leadership Academy
A wave of suicide attempts has swept through Oprah Winfrey's school for girls in South Africa. One student who attempted suicide was expelled and committed to a psychiatric clinic after she became disruptive in class and began cutting herself, another tried to jump off a building and still another tried to slash her wrists. None of them succeeded with their attempts. Last year sex abuse charges rocked the school and now this. Though nobody blames Oprah for the shocking suicide trend, she is devastated by the new developments.
Jay Z Refuses to Perform Mash-Up with Beyonce
They say Jay Z was performing to a sold-out crowd at the Hollywood Bowl on Wednesday (16Apr08) when he decided to do some mash-ups and rap over popular songs. So the DJ, trying to be funny, put on Crazy In Love. Jay was all like, "F**k that. Sorry Bey, but f**k that - let's play something else." They say Beyonce - who was watching from the side of the stage - stormed off. But not to worry J&B enthusiasts, Jay apologized to his boo before continuing with the show and they were seen all hugged up at the private dinner and after-party at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel's Tropicana Bar.

Liar Liar Pants On Fire
It's no secret Akon likes to exaggerate. Remember that time he said both Alicia Keys and Beyonce were jocking him for a date? Or how he likes to claim he’s from Sengal when actually he was born in St. Louis, or that time he claimed he was a polygamist and had 3 wives? So it should come as no surprise that he exaggerated about his criminal record to up his street cred. Remember when he first came out, he said he spent 4 1/2 years in prison for running a car theft ring? Never happened. According to The Smoking Gun, despite having been arrested six times, the only conviction Akon has on record is a 1998 gun possession charge, for which he got three years probation. He was also arrested in metro Atlanta for possession of a stolen BMW and spent several months in a DeKalb County jail before all charges were dropped. But that's it.
