LAILA ALI GIVES BIRTH TO FIRST CHILD » Female boxer Laila Ali and former NFL star Curtis Conway welcomed the first child together into the world yesterday morning. Curtis Muhammad Conway came into the world weighing in at 6.8 pounds, measuring 19 inches long, which is no surprise seeing as his mom and grandpa are boxers and his dad is a football player. This kid definitely has an athletic future ahead of him!

Conway already has three children - 13-year-old twin boys and a 9-year-old daughter - from a previous relationship.

KANYE WEST SUED FOR COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT » Another day, another bogus lawsuit against my boy Kanye West. Kanye is being sued by a Maryland songwriter/producer for copyright infringement.

Dayna “D’Mystro” Staggs filed the lawsuit in Maryland District Court last week claiming West “didn’t obtain a license” to sample his record “Volume of Good Life” for the song featured on West’s third album, “Graduation,” reports WENN. In legal papers, Staggs states West “was only at the age of six or seven years of age” when his song was written. He has also objected to the “vulgar and offensive” images associated with the song, claiming it “harms the reputation” of his inoffensive tune.

Staggs seeks 85 percent of all world sales of the proceeds from “Good Life,” although he fails to detail exactly how he came up with that number, reports WENN. West is named in the lawsuit alongside his various record labels, including his own G.O.O.D. Music and Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter’s Roc-A-Fella Records. [ VIA EUR WEB » ]

85%? Dude must be on something serious! And here I am thinking Good Life sampled Michael Jackson’s PYT. I gotta take a listen to this Volume of Good Life song though. The only thing that and Kanye’s “Good Life” probably has in common is the name, lol!

A finalist on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars, Laila Ali is the latest celebrity to wear the famous Milk Mustache. Queen of both the ring and the dance floor, Ali knows a healthy diet combined with staying active are important for feeling and performing at your peak. Drinking three glasses of lowfat or fat free milk everyday helps her maintain a healthy weight and get the nutrients, including calcium and protein that her active body needs. The ad copy reads:

Knockout. Take it from me, milk really packs the punch. Some studies suggest the nutrients in 24 ounces of low fat or fat free milk a day can help you maintain a healthy weight and the protein helps build muscle for a lean body. So eat right, train hard and drink milk. Now, that’s a winning combination – in the ring or on the dance floor.

The ad debuts on October 22nd in Real Simple.

This is Ali’s third Milk Mustache ad. In 2001, she starred alongside her famous dad, Muhammad Ali and earlier this year she donned the famous white mustache alongside her fellow Dancing With the Stars finalists. Other celebrity superstars who have more recently appeared in the campaign include Mariska Hargitay, Beyonce Knowles and Sara Ramirez.
