Not only is rapper Kanye West telling folks to “Eat sh*t and die,” but he’s apparently cursing out musicians and, of course, the media. All on stage. In front of people. Here’s what someone sent to our boy illseed over at All Hip Hop.
But of course, Kanye caused controversy. His show was AMAZING, but what would a Kanye show be without those diva moments? Firstly, while performing ‘Put On’, he went into some kind of auto-tune-freestyle. Basically what he was saying was that people don’t want him to change, people don’t want him to grow, they’d rather see him do exactly the same thing over and over again. Then, he went into a rant; saying that the media had stripped him of real life and explaining his daily pressures of being a celebrity. Then, he randomly started talking about Britney Spears, claiming that she spazzed out because K-Fed took advantage of her to better himself.
But, the best was yet to come. Kanye decided to close with Love Lockdown. He restarted the song three or four times (i lost count). The first time, I don’t think he was in-sync with his musicians…so 30 seconds in he told them to stop and start again. The second time, Kanye said ‘Nah you guys f#$ked it, start again’ and stormed off the stage, the musicians kept playing through the chorus and only stopped afterwards…which was awkward as Kanye wasnt even singing.
The third time, Kanye got about half-way through the song and stopped it once more. Kanye then came out and said “I’m supposed to have another f*cking outfit for this song, but they’ve taken it back to the dressing room. But f*ck it, Let’s just do it”. He was pretty angry lol, but all the fans were laughing haha. He then managed to get through the whole song without stopping..needless to say…i dont wanna hear Love Lockdown again…lol.
Anyway i thought he didnt need a stylist since he shops so much that he can speak Italian…LOL. it was mainly a good show anyway.

Wow, someone needs a nap!
Houston Rockets’ guard Tracy McGrady will not be returning to the court until his full recovery of his left knee has healed. After starting the first 15 games after his arthroscopic surgery he had on his knee and returned to the court almost to re-injure his knee. Before McGrady left his was averaging 15 points per game.
“Obviously, I came back a little bit too early, I’m just not ready.” McGrady continued. “Now I’ve got some sort of peace of mind, I don’t have to worry about whether it’s going to take the whole season for me to get healthy and what I’ve got to do for me to get back to 100 percent. I don’t have to have to go under the knife again. I’m relieved.”
Hopefully T-Mac will get back on the court healthy and revved up full throttle.
T.I. says that he wants his friends, family, and business associates to remember him as he they last saw him before entering jail in March 2009. When asked about conjugal visits on the Howard Stern show the rapper said: “I don’t accept visits. I want people to remember as I am. I’ll see you on release day.”
The self-proclaimed “king of the south” also revisited the federal gun possessions that lead to his forthcoming sentence.
“It’s definitely not about looking cool or people seeing you carrying anything around,” he explained. “If you were familiar with my past, you would recognize that there are certain significant dangers that are very real. In 2006 my best friend got killed right in front of me. They made an attempt on my life.”
To let Tip tell it, those days are over. “The thing is right now, I’m the safest I’ve ever been,” he shred. ”I’m federally monitored daily.”

Atlanta Housewives star NeNe Leakes and her husband collectively denied rumors of the two being evicted from their $800,000 home Duluth, GA home, saying that they moved out on their own free will.
“I am truly blessed to enjoy a wonderful life and lifestyle,” NeNe said in a statement released Wednesday. “We have indeed moved to another home, but we did so on our own free will. We live in an absolutely beautiful home and we are fortunate to be able to live in the place of our choice. Without wasting time on the details, the only thing I will say is that we were NOT evicted. Everybody knows that I like to be honest, real and upfront. If something was wrong, I would tell you!”
“It’s been a childhood dream of mine to release an album, so to receive four Grammy nominations is truly a blessing. I’m extremely honored and humbled by the nominations,” Hudson said in a statement released by Arista Records.
Unfortunately, the season looks like it’s over for NY Giant Plaxico Burress. It was announced Tuesday that the wide receiver was suspended from the team for the rest of the regular season and the upcoming NFL playoffs.
The decision comes one day after Burress was charged with two counts of illegal weapons possession, stemming from in incident early Saturday morning in which he accidentally shot himself in the right thigh at a Manhattan nightclub.
The Giants’ decision to suspend Burress came down after team physician, Dr. Scott Rodeo, examined him and found that the gunshot wound would sideline the 31-year-old player for 4-to-6 weeks.

His teammate Antonio Pierce may suffer the same fate if investigators find that he helped Plaxico attempt to cover up the shooting.
We’ve also learned that Plaxico Burress may be selling his New Jersey home due to him losing his $35 million contract with the Giants.
Word has it Plaxico Burress is putting his New Jersey estate on the market. Now that his $35 mill NFL contract is out the window thanks to his lock up status–he likely won’t be able to afford it. And he has a family to take care of. People really need to do better.

Common took it back! Common did a 180 and took hip-hop back to its days of electro, teaming up with Pharrell Williams, who comes off like a modern day version of the 1980s studio whizzes. While we’re used to Common in the role of poetic prophet or self righteous rhyme slayer, Universal Mind Control is primarily a rhythmic celebration, paying tribute to Afrika Bambaataa and Jonzun Crew jams.

OJ Simpson was sentenced to serve anywhere between 9 and 33 years in prison. The former football player’s sentencing was based on 12 charges, including felony kidnapping, armed robbery and conspiracy related to a 2007 confrontation with sports memorabilia dealers in a Las Vegas hotel.
A weary and beaten-looking O.J. Simpson was put away Friday for at least nine years — and perhaps the rest of his life — for an armed robbery in a hotel room, bringing a measure of satisfaction to those who believed the football star got away with murder more than a decade ago. The 61-year-old Hall of Famer listened stone-faced, his wrists in shackles, as Judge Jackie Glass pronounced the sentence — 33 years behind bars with eligibility for parole after less than a third of that.
Moments before, Simpson made a rambling, five-minute plea for leniency, simultaneously apologizing for the holdup as a foolish mistake and trying to justify his actions. He choked back tears as he told her: “I didn’t mean to steal anything from anybody … I’m sorry. I’m sorry for all of it.”
The judge said several times that her sentence in the Las Vegas case had nothing to do with Simpson’s 1995 acquittal in the slaying of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman. “I’m not here to try and cause any retribution or any payback for anything else,” Glass said.
But Goldman’s father, Fred Goldman, and sister, Kim, said they were delighted with the sentence. “We are thrilled, and it’s a bittersweet moment,” Fred Goldman said. “It was satisfying seeing him in shackles like he belongs.”

After shooting down rumors of not posing for Playboy, Kim Kardashian said that she’s not exactly shutting out the entire possibility. You know, for the future. This is what she posted on her blog yesterday:
There are a bunch of reports about me on the web saying that I snubbed Hugh Hefner. They’re quoting me as saying, “It was a one-off. I don’t think I’ll do Playboy or anything like that again.”
I WAS TOTALLY MISQUOTED.
First of all, I have never used the term “one-off.” It’s simply not in my vocabulary.
UPDATE: I’ve read some of your comments and I feel like I need to clarify my point of view on the matter….
I’m not planning to pose for the magazine any time soon. My whole point in this post is to say I would never snub Hugh Hefner. I love him and his whole team were lovely to me and treated me like family. Lately I have steered away from sexier shoots but it doesn’t mean I’m afraid to be sexy or ashamed of that. I have no regrets. One day you never know, but it’s not the direction I’m going in now.
Never say never,
Kim
Aww, c’mon! What about now? It’s not like we already haven’t seen her goods. Raise your hand if you still have that Ray J / Kim Kardashian tape on your hard drive. Yeah, exactly.
Besides, that last Playboy shoot was just a tease…
