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!
T.I. might actually have a shot at winning this! His current goal is making evidence seized from his car and statements he made to authorities inadmissible in court. The rapper claims both were illegally obtained. Clifford’s team of attorneys filed motions Monday in U.S. District Court seeking to suppress evidence seized from his vehicle and statements he made when he was arrested on October 13, according to the Associated Press.
The defense says the officers had no warrant, consent or probable cause to search T.I.’s vehicle. They want statements the rapper made to agents thrown out on the grounds that T.I. may not have talked voluntarily and that he may have been detained improperly. The lawyers also said more details would be filed later.
Though the judge didn’t immediately respond, according to an email from a federal prosecution spokesperson, he will respond in court. And I, for one, definitely cannot wait to hear what the judge has to say.
Damn these rappers are getting old! Lol, anyhow, Fabolous and some of his celebrity friends hit up AZZA Restaurant and Lounge in NYC last night to celebrate his 30th birthday. Angie Martinez, Cassidy, and Danity Kane were a few of the celebrities on the guest list. And speaking of Danity Kane … am I the only one who feels sorry for them? Everytime I see them out somewhere and just sit and think, “Damn, Diddy did these girls so wrong!” And where the hell is “Making the Band 4?” Do they even have a friggin name yet??? Oh wait, this is supposed to be about Fabolous’ birthday … my bad!
 
Trey Songz put his “male model” face on once again for another fashion magazine spread. This time around it’s the December 2007 issue of Blackmen Magazine. The latest news surrounding Songz is his recent arrest in Springfield, MA. He’s considering taking legal action against the police department for wrongfully arresting him and his entourage. Oh yeah, and ake sure you pick up that album “Trey Day” if you haven’t already!

Ne-Yo called in to Big Tigger’s radio show on 95.5 yesterday to speak on the craziness surrounding the Double Up tour with he and R Kelly. As we reported yesterday, he was dropped from the tour and he cleared the air and talked about the REAL reason why he was dismissed. Ne-Yo went on to say that he still has respect for R Kelly as an ARTIST, but as a person … some (if not, all) respect has been lost. And I don’t blame him! Let me sum it up for you:
| 1. The venue in Columbus, Georgia only has 7 dressing rooms. Guess how many Mr. Robert Kelly wanted to use? All 7! Fortunately for Ne-Yo, his people worked it out, and Ne-Yo and his dancers eventually got one of the rooms.
2. He was told that he and his crew had 4 hours of rehearsal time, but R Kelly only wanted him to have 2 so he would physically go out there and try to rush them off of the stage. 3. Reviews from the show have primarily been focusing on Ne-Yo’s set and Kellz is a little pissed about that. Kind of childish if you ask me… 4. And this is the icing on the cake … no one was allowed in the hallways when R Kelly was walking through. Who the hell does he think he is??? I mean really, it ain’t that damn serious. 5. Ne-Yo’s not sure what’s going on as far as the Keyshia Cole rumor because he hasn’t heard anything from her or her people. 6. He apologized to all of his fans for not being able to be on the tour and speaks highly of J Holiday and Keyshia saying that they’re “doing their thing.” And he ends with telling them (his fans) to “support R Kelly if they feel like it” LMAO! |
So he’s not trying to start any beef, he’s just speaking the truth. No harm in that right? I’d like to hear what Kellz has to say about this. And we have YET to hear Keyshia’s side to the story. Ne-Yo’s the only one being real with us.
Dolce and Gabbana always has had some edgy adverts but some of them often left me confused as to what one has to do with the other. In the 2007 “Time” (custom designer watches by D&G) commercial two male (and female) models could be seen kissing the same sex, I know y’all seen it on tv lol, To view the commercial CLICK HERE.

This is disturbing on so many levels. Ain’t nobody hatin’ on this pedophile mess! Think about Chris Brown and Madonna … Ew! Who approved this? The whole shebang looks rather awkward and “suggestive”. Not to mention the blatant subliminal messages factorized, implicating the woman role as “submissive” and/or “defenseless” to the role of a male (preferably old, Caucasian male) in this case. Call me a hater, call me a radical revolutionist, I really do not care. I understand it’s “just a photo shoot,” but think about all of the RSP’s (Random Stupid Ppl) that will see this, “Rihanna likes old, white men,” “Ooh, they F*cking!,” “[insert negroid comment here],” etc.
Dr. Jan Adams, the now infamous doctor who performed a botch plastic surgery operation on Kanye West’s mother, who was laid to rest yesterday in Oklahoma City, went on Larry King Live last night to discuss all of the accusations and allegations brought against him in the wake of Dr. Donda West’s untimely death. But minutes into the interview, Dr. Adams brought it to Larry King’s attention that he was respecting the family’s wishes by not speaking at this time. How professional! =)
“I want to thank you for this opportunity,” Adams told King. “Basically, I had come here to talk about things in the press that aren’t accurate about me. … But I have a tremendous amount of love and respect for the West family. They asked me not to go on. And I’ve said from the very beginning, I don’t have a side in this. … They are my side, and I’m going to respect their wishes. I’m going to apologize to you because I think I’m taking up your airtime, but I will not be on the show and I will not discuss any of that. I’m going to honor their wishes.”
A confused King then asked, “Will you ever answer questions … Where does this go?” Adams responded, “I will talk with them. When they’re comfortable, then I’ll be comfortable. If they’re never comfortable, then I’ll never be comfortable. They are what’s important to me.”
Trying to salvage the interview, King then prefaced his next question by saying it wasn’t about the family and asking, “Don’t you want to speak out?”
Removing his earpiece, Adams said simply, “No … I do not,” and then walked off the set. “The whole night was crazy,” King said this morning on CNN, noting that Adams’ plane was delayed and he was late for the taping to begin with. Once the doctor had arrived, King was told that Adams was speaking to his lawyers in the green room and was not sure if he was going to come on camera or not, even as the taping had already begun with a panel of experts discussing the case while King awaited his guest’s arrival.

Kanye West is featured as one of several “Men of the Year” on the cover of the latest issue of GQ Magazine (seen above). The funeral for his mother was held yesterday in Oklahoma City yesterday, and his celebrity friends showed up for support, including Jay-Z and Beyonce. John Legend and Anita Baker performed. For more on the funeral of Dr. West, click here.
Not even a week into the tour, and the drama just keeps unfolding. First the Keyshia Cole incident and now this! The latest gossip circulating about R Kelly’s “Double Up” tour is that show opener Ne-Yo has been dropped. “I am disappointed that I won’t be able to perform for my fans,” he said said in a statement from Def Jam. “I love being on stage in front of fans because of the immediate feedback you get. You know right away if they are feeling you; and they were really feeling our show.”
Since the show’s opening in Columbus, Georgia, the concert reviewers have taken a liking to Ne-Yo’s set particularly and my guess is that R Kelly didn’t like that. So he did what any man with ego problems would do … he booted his ass! Jive (R Kelly’s label) is saying that there’s no animosity between Kellz and Ne-Yo and the reason for Ne-Yo’s departure has something to do with some legal mumbo jumbo. But don’t let them pull the wool over your eyes. We all know the real reason… I know Keyshia’s happy though!

The 2007 American Music Awards went down last night at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles. The show was telecast live on CBS and featured performances from Fergie, Chris Brown, Beyonce (and Sugarland), Rihanna & Ne-Yo, and more. Winners included Justin Timberlake, T.I., Akon, Rihanna, and Beyonce, who won the most prestigious honor of the night! Beyonce took home the “International Star of the Year” award, an honor only previously given to Michael Jackson, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, and Rod Stewart. This makes her the first female to ever win that award, which was presented by Usher (who fumbled through 95% of it I might add lol — what’s on his mind??). If you’re interested in checking out the full list of winners, check out this site. In this post, you’ll find photos from the Red Carpet, The Performances, and Random Candids from throughout the show.
MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE » MAROON 5 » CHRIS BROWN » BRITNEY SPEARS
My Chemical Romance » “Mama” » LISTEN » (Full) » The song “Mama” is set to be My Chemical Romance’s fifth single from the 2006 album, The Black Parade. The video for this single, which was directed by the lead singer of the band, Gerard Way, is slated for release sometime later this year. Love MCR, can’t wait for this video, bet it’ll be highly interesting. That Liza Minnelli guest spot was unexpected.
Maroon 5 feat. Mary J. Blige » “Wake Up Call (Mark Ronson Remix)” » LISTEN » (Full) » You know what? I was shaky on this kind of collaboration, which is like apples and oranges here, but surprisingly, it’s digestible. I love M5 and MJB, so hearing the best of both worlds through my headphones, was ultra sweetness. And you know what, what? I feel this is just perfect, believe it or not. I feel like the tempo is just right and everything just flows so perfectly.
Chris Brown » “This Christmas” » LISTEN » (Full) » Here Chris Brown can be heard doing his own rendition of Hathaway’s “This Christmas” for the film of the same title. I thought I should just go ‘head and post this, since it’s the full quality, and I’m in a cheerful mood, I guess. I don’t know why, but it never really feels like Christmas to me for some reason, I do like this song, though.
Britney Spears » “Piece of Me” » LISTEN » (Full) » I wasn’t too zealous, at first, when I found out “Piece of Me” was going to be the second single when there were so many other great songs to choose from. But now I’ll admit it’s starting to grow on me, subsequently. Besides it’s time that she fight back, so yeah, I’m all for “Piece of Me” now!
Welp, I guess that beats Nicole Richie’s 82! Lindsay Lohan was sentenced to serve a day in jai after a judge’s order in August. The young actress had been charged with DUI and cocaine possession and was told that she must serve her term by January 2007. According to Los Angeles police, Lohan only spent about an hour and 24 minutes behind bars (84 minutes) and was “very cooperative.” She checked in to the Los Angeles County Women’s Detention Center in Lynwood this past Thursday at 10:30 AM, and was out by 11:54! Lol!! She didn’t even get to rock an orange jumpsuit, or use the bathroom for that matter. What’s the point of going to jail if you can’t experience taking a piss in front of folks you don’t know? Big waste of time if you ask me =)
