Janet Cancelling Concerts Left and Right
Janet Jackson cancelled two more concerts. After getting sick and cancelling her Montreal concert less than an hour before showtime, Janet has cancelled her Boston and Philly tour stops and a concert in Michigan has been rescheduled. You didn't hear this from me, but word on the street is Jan has been playing to half filled venues and is losing buku bucks on this tour and that's what's really making her "sick".
Oprah's Mama Counter Sues
Oprah Winfrey's mother, Vernita Lee, is suing the clothing store that is suing her for $156,000.00 in unpaid clothes and services, claiming she shouldn't have to pay because the store extended credit despite knowing her troubles managing debt. "The account is "unconscionable, and therefore, unenforceable because Valentina knowingly and unfairly took advantage of Lee's lack of knowledge, ability, and/or capacity when Valentina created the account," the civil lawsuit says.
You Know Kirky Is Pissed
Remember when Game got into a fist fight at his cousin's funeral over money and his one cousin Kirky pressed battery charges against him? It's been settled. The judge told Game he could complete 36 anger management classes or go to jail. Game chose anger management.

Lil Wayne Bails On Nassau Concert
From one of my e-pals:
Lil Wayne and Buju Banton were supposed to headline a concert in Nassau, Bahamas Friday September 26th 2008. The show was postponed until Saturday 27th 2008. On Saturday, despite rain and other inconveniences, people arrived at the concert in droves. Buju performed, but Lil Wayne was a 'NO SHOW'.
A local news paper was quoted as saying they believe it was a money issue but, concert goers are still not sure what happened.
The promoters for the event was Red City Entertainment. General admission was $45, VIP was $80, Platinum was $200 including Bacardi drinks and food. They also had 6 sky boxes for $20,000 EACH and Lisa 'Red' Tottle of Red City Entertainments said 4 were already sold as of Thursday the 25th. (The sky boxes included a hostess, a bartender, free drinks and food and easy access to a bathroom, oh and they can ONLY hold 20 people each. so that's like $1000 PER PERSON!!!!).
