Lil Kim Getting Sued
Lil Kim is being sued for $2.5 million for breach of contract by her new record label. Brookland Media says Kim signed on with them, then tried to back out of the deal by refusing to perform unless they made some changes to her contract AFTER they'd already sunk $500,000.00 into her project. Good luck with that Kim. Next time, read before you sign.

Internet Chatter
Wendy Williams says she is in possession of a sex tape showing a married rapper's wife that does not include the rapper and she's willing to sell it to the highest bidder. Ok, shouldn't be too hard to figure this out. How many rappers are married? Jay Z and Beyonce, Nas and Kelis, Snoop and Shante and Ice T and CoCo. However, Wendy does mention in part two of the segment there are no kids involved and that mainstream media does not care, so that leaves only Nas and Kelis or Ice T and Coco.

They Say
The Invitations Have Been Sent
and I know you don't care, but they're a whopping 11 pages long. Mel B, who got married to Stephen Belafonte [no relation to Harry] in Las Vegas last year shortly after giving birth to her and Eddie Murphy's baby, sent out invites for a lavish wedding ceremony to be held in Egypt later this year. An insider claims, "The invite was very ornate and detailed and included a contract, to be signed by the recipient, agreeing to be photographed and videotaped because Mel is going to be selling the pictures to a magazine for as high a price as she can get." Well good luck with that guest list Mel. In light of recent tourist kidnappings in Egypt it wouldn't be surprising if nobody famous showed up.
Rick Ross Admits He Was a Corrections Officer
Rick Ross finally admitted to Don Diva magazine that yes, he used to be a corrections officer. When asked flat out, is that you in the picture, the biggest boss that you've seen thus far answered, "Yes. It's me." But but he also added, "I never tried to hide my past. I put my name inside my cds. My company has my SS#. I could've put a company name... I done been up and I done been down and that's what makes me what I am. I never ratted on a nigga. I never prosecuted a nigga. I never locked up a nigga, that's first and foremost. I always felt that me being the nigga that I am, I never owed a nigga an explanation... When I'm making my music and I'm talking about blow, it's because I did it. When I say that I'm rich off cocaine, it's because i did it. Those are the street principals that apply." Now that wasn't so bad, was it?
