Foxy Brown Says Jay Z Abandoned Her
Fox Boogie got in XXL and blasted Jay Z for not "saving her life". Wanna read it? Here it go [as transcribed by Fresh from C&D]:
“A lot of things have happened over the years between Jay and I,” she says of the man who signed her to a multimillion-dollar deal at Def Jam in 2005, nine years after their classic duet “Ain’t No Nigga” gave him his first radio hit.
“But there’s an unbreakable bond that will never die. 50 wanted me to be part of his team so bad. He was like, ‘Look, I’ll do it with Jay, half and half.’ And, of course, Jay said no. At one point, 50 asked, ‘Why do you have so much loyalty to this Nigga?’ Jay and I have history. There are things that he could have done better, as far as his loyalty to me, and I’m sure I’ve made mistakes that he felt he could’ve prevented.” Foxy chokes up. “When I lost my hearing, Jay gave me the respect to go heal myself. He stuck with me along the way. But there are times when I just really needed him, and it wasn’t even about Foxy Brown and Jay-Z. It was just like, ‘I need you to help me save my life,’ and he just wasn’t there.”
The tears are streaming down her cheeks. “I would never denounce him in public. That’s just how I feel. But I’ve been incarcerated for eight months, and Jay’s been everywhere, and he hasn’t mentioned one thing about, ‘Tell her I love her. Tell her to be strong.’ That broke my heart more than anything. When they sent me to jail, I just knew he would be there-everyone came. But he never showed up… My mother always says, Jay also said this, in the tru life freestyle ‘Inga, when a person shows you who they are, believe them. Been showing me all through the years and you just don’t wanna believe it.’"

50 Cent Suing Taco Bell
50 Cent is suing Taco Bell for planting a fake story about him changing his name for a Taco Bell promotion. According to the suit, Taco Bell parlayed a media stunt into an ad campaign. 50's lawyers are accusing Taco Bell of false advertising by circulating a letter addressed to 50 asking him to "change his name for one day from '50 Cent' to '79 Cent,' '89 Cent' or '99 Cent.' "
"After Taco Bell drafted the letter, it did not send it to [50 Cent]. Instead Taco Bell released it to the national press," his lawyers wrote. The letter was designed to promote the company's "79-89-99 Cent Why Pay More" campaign, while avoiding the multimillion dollar fee the rapper might have charged to use his name, the lawsuit claims.

X is facing two more indictments in Arizona, one on multiple charges of drug possession and another for cruelty to animals.

For £10,000 A Night You Can't Burn A Few Sheets?
Naomi Campbell stayed at the Moscow Ritz Carlton in the £10,000-a-night presidential suite last week and after she checked-out, cleaners found holes burnt in the suite's silk sheets, apparently from cigarettes or candles, according to reports in Moscow.
And check it, when they asked Naomi to pay for the dammage, she refused, telling the staff any damage should be covered by the room bill.
One hotel worker said: 'As soon as they found the burnt sheets, the managers at our hotel rushed back to Naomi's people. 'But she sent back a message saying we were being ridiculous and there was no way she would pay any fee.'
If the Moscow Ritz know like I know, they'll leave Naomi alone before one of their maids gets her butt kicked over a set of sheets.

They Say
Disgraced Olympic track star Marion Jones has asked President Bush to commute her six-month prison sentence for lying to federal agents about her use of performance-enhancing drugs and a check-fraud scam.
The Justice Department confirmed Monday that Jones is among hundreds of convicted felons who have applied for presidential pardons or sentence commutations, but would provide no further details. A pardon removes a conviction from someone's record, while a commutation only reduces or eliminates the person's sentence.
