German Pop Star Arrested For Spreading Aids

German popstar Nadja Benaissa could be facing ten years in jail for having unprotected sex without telling her partners she had HIV. Four days after her arrest in a Frankfurt night club, the ‘No Angels’ singer (26) is still in prison. The singer was arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm after she had unprotected sex with at least three men without telling them about the HIV infection which she knew she carried. At least one of the partners Benaissa is alleged to have slept with did contract the virus - which causes AIDS - and his medical certificate has been given to the authorities as evidence.

Lil Kim's Repo Was Scott Storch's Fault

In April 2008 Lil Kim was raked across the blogs [click here for the story] because a New York news station filmed her Bentley being repossessed and played it on the evening news. Kim cussed their asses out on air, but here's the real deal. The car belonged to record producer Scott Storch who'd leased the car from a dealer in Miami. After he stopped paying the lease, he gave the car to Kim. What a loser. And by the way, this all came out because Scott, who's fresh out of rehab, was arrested last Friday for grand theft auto of the Bentley in question.

Busted

'One Tree Hill' star Antwon Tanner was arrested Thursday as part of an investigation into a fake Social Security card scam. Tanner, who plays basketball star Antwon "Skills" Taylor on the CW series, turned himself in to federal prosecutors. The U.S. Attorney's office said that the Chicago-bred actor both "knowingly and intentionally" transferred Social Security cards in 2008 "with intent to defraud." The 34-year-old will be arraigned in Federal Court in Brooklyn on Tuesday, April 21. A spokesperson for the CW declined to comment.

Jay Z's Cheap Ass Friends

Snitches told Page Six Atlantic Records executive Michael Kyser and Universal Music Group boss Shawn Costner made a big show of taking Jay Z out to a club then skipped out on the tab. The group ran up a bill of more than $1,500, after getting a third of the bill comped, then Kyser and Costner argued in front of Jay over which one of them would pay the bill. They agreed to split it, Jay tipped the waitress $500 and left. So, Jay wasn't there to see Costner's credit card get declined or Kyser fake agreeing to pick up the whole tab. What do I mean by 'fake-agreeing'? While Kyser's card did go through, he left the club without signing the credit slip, leaving his card behind. Then he disputed the charges to American Express.

What a trooper. Instead of canceling her tour after being diagnosed with Hepatitis C and needing aggressive chemotherapy, Natalie Cole took her treatments backstage before her shows. Nat says, “Whatever horror stories you have heard about chemo is true. It is absolutely one of the most debilitating and difficult experiences that could ever happen to a human being. Trying to perform was a real challenge. Just picture an IV hanging from a wardrobe rack in my dressing room in Japan as I tried to prepare for two shows in a night."
