You can’t be serious!!

For some odd reason, producer Teddy Riley believes that Michael Jackson is still alive and recently took to Twitter to defend his theory.

“You know people are so F-ing anal. If people can think Elvis is still alive why the F#*@ I cant [sic] think Michael is still alive,”  he tweeted.

Riley previously worked with MJ on his Dangerous album and produced “Breaking News”, the lead single on the upcoming Sony album. Just a day before tweeting his conspiracy theory, Teddy received a message from a fan asking if he agreed with Akon, who also supposedly believes the late Pop idol isn’t dead.

“Akon said he believes Michael is in hiding and will be coming back one day. I’m curious to know what ya think bout that,” the fan’s tweet read. Riley tweeted back, “AKON IS MY FRIEND AND WE THINK ALIKE.”

Either this guy is completely crazy or he seriously knows something we don’t! For the sake of our sanity though…..we’re gonna go with the first option. Can you say CUCKOO???

Teddy Riley from Blackstreet has already released a statement, but the R&B singer is still trying to clear his name so people won’t look at him as a child abuser.

Basically what happened was he felt like his adult daughters were out of pocket so he told them to get out of his house. His youngest daughter (Taja, 18) didn’t like that so she swung at him and as he tried to restrain her, his other daughter (who is older than Taja) tried to swing on him as well. So he had both of his daughters basically trying to jump him so he did what he had to do to defend himself. And unfortunately, some unintentional bruises followed…

He also made sure to note that he DID NOT beat the girls with the guitar, though he did admit to threatening them with it. Just peep the video for yourself after the break…

Due to recent events, I am compelled to respond in detail to accusations made against me, by my daughters. I love my Daughters, but I will not allow my children to disrespect me in my home. Contrary to what I have been accused of, I would never beat my children. Perhaps, I should have been a stronger disciplinarian as they were growing up. I worked very hard so that my children would want for nothing. In hindsight, I see that it was a mistake to give them everything they wanted so that they could have the childhood I never had. Unfortunately, they have taken me, and the privileged life I have given them, completely for granted. Instead of being appreciative and realizing how fortunate they are, my children have an inflated sense of entitlement and expectation without having to work or earn their way.

However, my ‘children’ are no longer children, they are adults and I am trying to instill in them values and a work ethic of their own. My mother always told me “too many grown people can’t live in one house” so I encourage them to have their own homes if they cannot abide by the rules of mine. I am not an uptight Dad, I am as hip as they come but I will not tolerate being taken advantage of or disrespected, especially in my home. I’ve been working since the age of 14, I bought my first car by myself. Nobody gave me a car. My kids don’t even remember their first car. I grew up with 6 of us in an apartment fighting over one bathroom. My kids have never had to share a bathroom, let alone a bedroom.

I’m asking everyone to let this one go… I’m only being a good parent. I’m a great father and everyone who knows me, knows this is true.

Thank you so much,

With all my love,
Teddy Riley

So… how does he explain the argument on Twitter and the picture of his daughter’s face???

Wow! So Teddy Riley from Blackstreet (the guy in the middle in the picture above) allegedly beat the sh*t out of his two daughters a week ago (Wed. Dec 23). Sources tell TMZ that the 43-year-old R&B singer beat his 18-year-old daughter Teja and her older sister with it, along with “stomping, punching and bashing them.” Teja was granted a temporary restraining order against her dad.

In the documents, filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Taja claims at one point Teddy, “lifted a Rock Band guitar and threatened to kill person(s) w/ it.” Taja claims she suffered several injuries in the alleged altercation — including “bashes to temple, contusion on face” and “pain in knee.” Teddy has been ordered to stay 100 yards away from Taja. The next hearing is set for January.

Oh but that’s not all. According to the homie Necole Bitchie, all of this went down live and in person on Twitter (yes, THE Twitter). And it was over his girlfriend, who’s apparently around the same age as Teja.

Now, believe it or not, all of this played out on twitter the night it happened! From what I gathered (and I could be wrong), his daughters had a serious issue with the woman Teddy Riley was dating because she was around their age. So they resorted to going back and forth with him on twitter as well as calling her a “Golddigger”. He eventually deleted his twitter account and made his girlfriend delete hers.

We’re mad they aired all of this out on Twitter. Do people forget that their phone has text messaging? Why use a social networking site to vent about family issues and send public messages to each other (Twitter has this nice little “DM” feature too…). And let’s not get on 2009 being the “year of domestic violence.” Lawd…

Some people just ain’t got NO RESPECT!! (LOL)

The “rappa ternt sanga” we all know as T-Pain hit up the Australian premiere of Michael Jackson’s “This Is It” wearing a shirt with those infamous leaked pictures of Cassie’s tits.

How rude???

We also have new pictures of Rev. Run, Russell Simmons, Alicia Keys and more at various events throughout the past few days. Continue reading to check out all of the pictures and make sure you click each thumbnail for more info!
