Peep this video of Usher, Jermaine Dupri, Johnta Austin, Bryan Michael Cox and JD’s assistant Tyrone, collectively known as “The Ocean 5 Crew,” clowning Christina Milian for rocking that blonde wig at the Hawks/Cavaliers game in ATL, in addition to talking about the Chris Brown and Rihanna situation, calling the young teens a modern day Ike & Tina. The video was originally posted to Jermaine Dupri’s YouTube account as a part of his “Living the Life” vlog series, but he has since then removed it. Luckily, the CNN of Urban Media (aka World Star Hip Hop) grabbed it and upped it to their site.

Halfway through the video, JD mentions them “having drinks” before filming, which is pretty obvious, especially with Usher shouting and acting a fool through most of the video. Even though the things they were saying were pretty effed up, we had no choice but to laugh. We’re sorry, but the sh*t was funny!

Ozzy & Sharon Osbourne Meagan Hauserman

Remember when we heard about Sharon Osbourne jumping on “Rock of Love: Charm School” contestant Megan Hauserman for talking out the side of her neck about Ozzy?

Megan Hauserman claims Sharon went ballistic during a taping, punching and grabbing her by the hair and refusing to let go, and scratching her to boot. Osbourne opened the can of whoop ass after Megan told Sharon she was famous only because she managed a brain dead rock star. In a lawsuit filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, Hauserman is suing Osbourne for battery, negligence and infliction of emotional distress.

We’re sure Sharon doesn’t give a f*** about this lawsuit. She’ll pay it off and move on. Her victory was getting her hands on that Megan chick for talking smack about her Ozzy lol.

Snoop Dogg

Rapper Snoop Dogg surprised the world by announcing to the BBC Sunday that he was a member of the Nation of Islam. The “Doggfather” made the announcement at the annual Saviours’ Day event in Chicago after listening to a message from Louis Farakkhan, leader of the Nation of Islam. Snoop told reporters that in becoming a Muslim, he feels as if  he was “doing what’s right and representing what’s right.”

“I’m an advocate for peace, I’ve been in the peace movement ever since I’ve been making music. My whole thing is not about really trying to push my thing on you. It’s just about the way I live, and I live how I’m supposed to live as far as doing what’s right and representing what’s right – that’s why I was here today.”

Other celebrities who are members of the Nation of Islam include rapper/actor Ice Cube and boxing legend Muhammad Ali. We’re all for people finding “spiritual enlightenment” or whatever, but you have to admit … hearing about Snoop Dogg becoming a Muslism is completely RANDOM!

Catch Snoop on his new MTV series, Dogg After Dark, Tuesday nights at 9 PM Eastern.

T.I. Covers April 2009 VIBE Magazine

Rapper T.I. is featured on the April 2009 issue of VIBE Magazine. This will be his last magazine cover as a free man before he heads to prison later this month to serve a year-long sentence for charges related to his illegal possession of firearms. The issue basically talks about how people screamed “Snitch!” when T.I. got his sentencing. Most were expecting him to be put away for a very long while, but when news broke of him only getting a year, people began to question his integrity. T.I. wants everyone to know that is definitely not the case. Peep the press release, which was sent out today, below and after the break.

In an extensive report titled “Cell Therapy,” VIBE Senior Editor Benjamin Meadows-Ingram chronicles the superstar’s history-making legal battle and gut-wrenching journey since his 2007 arrest for attempting to collect three unregistered machine guns and two silencers following his BET Hip Hop Awards performance rehearsal.

After the announcement on March 27, 2008 of what many felt was a shockingly light slap on the wrist for the serious charges, many responded by screaming, “Snitch!” However, authorities agreed to a groundbreaking plea deal negotiated by heavyweight Criminal Defense Attorney, Steve Sadow, who cited the star’s ability to influence others by serving 1500 hours of community service.

Gossip On This’ founder & editor-in-charge Dustin Gary caught up with rapper Nelly this past Saturday (Feb. 28th) in Charlotte, NC at the 2009 CIAA Ford Fan Experience. We were originally scheduled to have 5 – 10 minutes with the St. Louis rapper, but due to unfortunate circumstances, our time was cut short (to only about 3 questions). We talked about his new TV show and we also got him to open up a bit about the situation between Chris Brown and Rihanna.

NELLY SPEAKS ON THE CHRIS BROWN/RIHANNA SITUATION:

“I think that people need to allow them to allow them to handle that situation themselves,” Nelly told Gossip On This exclusively. “I think until the facts and everything comes out, we need to allow them to deal with that themselves and understand that they’re young and people make mistakes.”

We didn’t get a chance to ask him if he had seen the photo, but at this point, who hasn’t seen it? Continue reading for an entire transcript of the interview!
