Jim Jones and Dame Dash showed off their newfound bromance at the 10th New York International Latino Film Festival screening of “Red Apples Falling” Thursday night (Jul 30) at the SVA Theater in New York City.

When did these two get so tight? Maybe they’re both filling in the void their former best friends left behind. Jim fell out with Cam’ron, and Dame and Jay-Z aren’t cool anymore either. Birds of a feather flock together, huh?

Jay-Z finally put that ridiculous rumor of him c*ck blocking Chris Brown’s performance at the BET Awards to rest:

“That’s the silliest rumor I’ve ever heard,” Jay-Z said in a new interview with radio personality Tim Westwood. “First let me categorically deny that, that’s not even my style. I haven’t said anything live or behind the scenes. I don’t agree with what he did and that’s it. We’re all flawed human beings, all a person could do is apologize. Everyone should be allowed to make mistakes. But as far as not letting him perform on BET — that’s ridiculous, that’s stupid and that’s a sucker move. I wouldn’t do it. And people commenting on rumors — that’s a sucker move. I was really sitting back and watching all of them suckers comment on that,” Jay-Z continued. “You don’t comment on rumors. I was watching like, ‘look at them. That’s just so silly. They are all really stupid.’”

According to recent reports, Damon Dash’s wife, Rachel Roy (a well-known fashion designer) has filed for divorce from the Roc-A-Fella empire’s co-founder. An electronic record of the case obtained by the New York Daily News states the reason as “non-monetary relief” The papers were filed in Manhattan Supreme Court earlier this month.

Dash and Roy, who put her own name on a women’s fashion line, got hitched in Mexico in January 2005. They met when Roy was working at Rocawear and have two daughters. The breakup is the latest legal mess for the has-been hip-hop titan, whose empire – which he once pegged at “about $50 million” in a New York magazine profile – has crumbled under massive debt, bad business deals and one suit after another. Dash, who in 2005 sold his stake in Rocawear to Jay-Z for $20 million, owes $2 million in state taxes, and a bank has started foreclosure proceedings on his two Tribeca condos.

Hip-hop mogul Damon Dash, best known as the co-founder of Roc-a-fella Records and the Rocawear clothing line is having a little money trouble, according to recent reports. The city wants his cars, the bank wants his houses, and his lawyer dropped him for non-payment. So yes, Damon Dash is BROKE! Somebody’s been a little to “free” with their money over the past few years.

“I’ve worked with musicians, artists and entertainers that in the eyes of the media are very wealthy,” said attorney Jason Gabbard. “But to borrow a phrase from my Kentucky homeland, they haven’t got a pot to piss in – they’re broke.”

Wow, looks like the recession’s hitting everyone these days!

Damon Dash, former Roc-a-fella CEO, is in hot water for allegedly exposing himself to an Atlanta woman, and requesting that she perform oral sex on him. Dame met the woman, Jamie Roberts, and introduced himself as “Jeremy McIntire” at a party in 2004 in Miami. Dash insists he has never even met his 24-year-old accuser.

“It’s quite obvious that this is a false allegation,” Dash said in a statement. “We know nothing about it.”

A complaint filed in Manhattan Supreme Court says the encounter left the woman – who admits to suffering from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder – hearing Dash’s voice in her ear “giving her certain instructions to follow.” Roberts alleges she met someone introducing himself as “Jeremy McIntyre” at a Miami nightclub in March 2004, and agreed to rendezvous with him later at a marina near the club.

Roberts, who declined comment, also claims she never had a clue who Dash was until she spotted him on “Chappelle’s Show.” She is seeking $30,000 in damages. Dash was sued by an ex-model who accused him of a 2003 sexual assault in Brazil, and has had a long-running court battle with the mother of one of his children. [ NY DAILY NEWS ]

Uhm … this chick is bi-polar and schizophrenic? You can’t be serious!!

Damon Dash is reportedly in trouble with the IRS! He owes the state of New York over $2 million in taxes. But I’m sure he’ll be able to get that paid without him having to go to jail, seeing as he owns a $400,000 Maybach sedan with a chauffeur, several diamond-encrusted watches and over 1,000 pairs of sneakers. That’s a little over a million dollars, right? He can make up the rest of that ghetto myspace thing he’s working on. I hear they have like 23 members now.

But back to the story. You celebrities are gonna get enough of hiring these run-of-the-mill accountants who “forget” to file your taxes! I bet you their taxes are paid in full, and probably with YOUR money!
