Two Weeks Ago

[before he was kicked off the team for shooting himself in the leg with an unlicensed gun] former NY Giant Plaxico Burress got pulled over on I-595 in Broward county and cursed out the deputy sheriff who stopped him. Plaxo was pulled over because he'd crossed several lanes of traffic, cutting off several cars, to get on I-595's westbound ramp. According to the deputy, when he approached Plax's car 'Ol Plaxy wouldn't open the car door and when the sheriff opened it himself Plax roared, "Fuck you! You can't open my fucking door!" the deputy also says dirty mouth Plax answered every question with a, "Fuck You" and threatened him with the tried and true old celebrity ruse, "You're going to be in a lot of trouble. I know the sheriff personally. You're going to hear about this by the end of your shift!" This incident was Plax's fifth moving violation in the past month. And for the record, the sheriff denies ever having meet Plax. He was issued a $150.00 ticket.

T-Boz Comments On The State of Girl Groups and The Kelly Rowland Situation

T-Boz spoke to Black Voices' Jawn Murray about her stint on Celebrity Apprentice and managed to throw a little shade in the interview.

JM: When you hear stories about what's going on with Destiny's Child and Kelly Rowland having to fire Matthew Knowles to finally get attention, what are your thoughts?

T: They get mad when I say this, but I don't give a damn. It was all about Beyonce anyway. She was my favorite, too, but come on. Her parents are over everything. Who do you think they were going for? It's always Beyonce. It was supposed to be exactly the way it is now, Bey is on top. I love Beyonce, and I am a fan of hers. She was my favorite in the group even before they were Destiny's Child and they were the Baby Dolls. She was so cute and pretty. I like all of them, and I wish Kelly the best. When you're in a girl group, you have differences, and you have to learn how to respectfully agree to disagree. There are a lot of things that happen behind the scenes that people don't know about. Some girl groups have girls trying to steal other girls' boyfriends and that's the ultimate no-no. You have situations like the Kelly thing and Beyonce's parents. You can say that I'm out for everybody, but if Lisa was to bring somebody in that's her boyfriend, then I'm gonna feel like you got Lisa's back more than mine, and that's gonna be a no-no. I just think that brings a conflict of interest in the beginning. That would have been a hard group for me to be in, because I would have been like your mommy and daddy are running things and they're gonna have you at heart the most. That's just how I feel.

JM: There are currently no girl groups in the music business. They all seem to break up. Why do you think it's like that?

T: I feel like girls are anal, bitchy and bitter. They're jealous, envious and compete with each other even though they say they don't. It always brings issues. They can't differentiate that this is business, and we don't have to be best friends. We just have to work together. People have a hard time living with that, because it becomes fake and you have to keep up this whole façade, and you just can't deal with it and break
up. At the end of the day, it's about making money and having a career. Nobody said

you have to go home and hug every day. Some girls can't deal with that, and I've always had girl problems. Girls and me just don't mix. They've always been jealous, tried to take my boyfriends and lie on me. I get it because I've always had that happen to me. That's why I would never do a girl group again. I'm happy to have been with the two I was with, but I would never bring another girl in and start a new group. You don't have to worry about that with me.

A.I. Out For The Season

One day after Allen Iverson declared he'd rather retire than play off the bench, Detroit Piston president Joe Dumas announced that A.I. was out for the rest of the season. After missing 16 games because of a 'sore back' Allen had this to say, "I'm in a position now that I've never been in my whole life. It's harder than I thought it would be. With the back injury, I have to sit out at the start, then go in, then sit again. It's tough to really get going. I take my hat off to the guys who can come off the bench and be effective. It's tough for me. I'm struggling with it. I'd rather retire before I do this again."

Coolio Two Hours Late For Court

Coolio pled not guilty last Friday to one felony count of cocaine possession and two misdemeanor assault charges from that time he got arrested [click here if you missed it] at LAX with crack rocks in his carry-on luggage. The misdemeanor charges are because Coolio grabbed the TSA screener's arm to keep her from searching his bag. Oh, and he showed up two hours late for court. The judge was not amused. Coolio is due back in court on April 20th and faces up to three years in prison if convicted.

Plaxico Burress Cut

Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. Or in the leg in Plaxico Burress' case. If you'll recall [click here if you can't], NY Giant Plaxico Burress got arrested back in December for shooting himself in the leg at a NY city night club with an unlicensed gun. The Giants benched Plax shortly after, suspending him without pay for the last four games of the season [not that he could've played anyway]. The other shoe dropped yesterday when the Giants cut Plax from their roster. He's due back in court on second degree gun charges June 15.
