Rap mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs added a women’s line to his already popular clothing line, “Sean John.” In celebration of this, he held a party at one of his flagship stores in New York. You already know Mama Combs and her platinum goodness graced the shindig. Diddy’s sister Keisha was even there. And so was Cassie! Check out the rest of the flicks after the cut…
Here are a few photos taken of Ciara while she was performing at the Fencing Stadium, Olympic Park in a live show in Seoul, South Korea. Looks like CiCi is doing big thangs! Peep photos of Mary J Blige and Maroon 5 after the cut!
BILL MAHER GETS GANGSTA! » Former Politically Incorrect talk show host Bill Maher got into a bit of a scuffle this week during a live taping of Maher’s current television program, Real Time with Bill Maher, when a rowdy protester interrupted one of his weekly open panel discussions by holding up a smuggled-in sign that read “9/11 is a cover up fraud” and shouted comments to the same effect. Maher proceeded to ignoring the deranged protester’s comments, continuing the panel discussion by implying, “I don’t even know what that f*cker is saying”. Now with the protester’s tone escalating Maher resorts to shouting down the guy with expletives asking, “Do we have some f*cking security in this building … or do I have to come down there and kick his ass!?” When security reached the protester’s aisle and told him to leave the building he did not comply, that is when security attempted at escorted the guy out, Maher jumped up and ran into the seats helping them push the unwelcome attendee out the door, yelling “Out! Out! Out!”
It appeared that there actually was more protest members who were in attendance of the live television show; scattered throughout the studio audience creating more hoopla. Maher, visually upset about the whole situation claimed, “this is the problem with live television.” His regular audience members were surprisingly thrilled at the altercation treating it as some type of Jerry Springer dispute. Ha ha, I have to admit, it was exciting to see — there aren’t many live television shows anymore — we got to see the good stuff! [ SOURCE ]
 
Sorry for my slack this week. I’ve been having some serious internet problems since last weekend. There’s nothing I can really do about it though besides waiting it out seeing as we only have one cable internet service in this area … and they suck!*cough*CHARTER*cough, but anyhow, Britney Spears has been in the news a lot this week, and if you haven’t been keeping up with her, let me help you out in that area . . .
BRITNEY SPEARS TURNS HERSELF IN FOR AUGUST 6TH WRECK »
Britney Spears reported to a Los Angeles-area police station Monday night to be booked in connection with two minor fender-benders. Spears breezed in the front doors the station in the Los Angeles suburb of Van Nuys around 9 p.m. Monday, after declining an offer to sneak in through the back. Hiding a case of pinkeye (ew!), she spent between 30 and 45 minutes getting booked. You know, the usual. Getting her mugshots, fingerprints, etc. “She was fine, cooperative,” said LAPD officer Mike Lopez. “She did her business and came out.” Spears’ appearance at the station was a prelude to an October 25 court date on charges she bumped up against another car while turning into a spot in a Studio City parking lot on August 6. Spears checked out the damage before heading into an adjacent buidling. Unfortunately for Britney, the paparazzi caught the whole thing on camera. I’m sure you’ve seen it all over the net and on TV. Kim Robard-Rifkin, the lady who owns the car Britney hit, reported the incident several days later.
Hip-hop legend Nasir Jones, 34, is completely baffled at recent reports of the supposed “relapse” of his upcoming album, slated to be release December 11th. As you may know, there has been continues claims of [ the label’s ] impediment towards the project and even the preposterous rumor of “inevitable” withdrawal. But the emcee insists [1] that you shouldn’t believe anything you’ve heard about Def Jam, or the rumor about him chaning his album’s title for that matter.
“I don’t know where that [report] came from and neither does Def Jam,†Nas stated, early yesterday morning, in a Manhattan recording studio when asked about a recent article published earlier this week. “None of us knows where that came from.”
Nas, now making an example out numerous blogs and media outlets, has added more controversy by changing his album’s name from the term “N*gga” to “N*gger”. -_-
“You ain’t got no business worrying about what the word ‘n*gger’ is or acting like you know what my album is about without talking to me,” Nas addresses the recent remarks made by political advocate Rev. Jesse Jackson among others.
Well, y’all . . . pro/cons? Me, I think I’ve come to the point of ultra liberalness, so it isn’t really concerning/uncomprehending to me. I’m sure there is logic behind this; I don’t think we should pass judgment so quickly. However, you are entitled to your discretion so feel free to discuss in the commenting section if you would like. [ SOURCE ]
Okay, this is surprisingly digestible – you know what – I’m not even gonna lie. I will admit, I was a little skeptical, about this whole Face Off ordeal at first. But so far, all of the recent material I have heard from these two are gold. It is highly likely this will push at least Gold status; citing how Bow Wow and Omarion’s debut collaboration, “Let Me Hold You,” did the equivalent anyhow. And with solid delivery like that, who can complain?
“Girlfriend” • ( FULL )
Being a die-hard Trey Songz fan, he already was the “enabler”. So, in essence, I was ultimately looking forward to this kind of collaboration. Seeing how I am also a Jigga fan as well, I was floored. I have yet to believe such a collaboration is possible. Although with the type of production, backing with Jay’s flow, on this track is nothing to mess with, I kind of felt this continuity going in my mind with Trey’s voice so I was not surprise once he made his brief appearance. Usually [rappers] adding to a Hova’s rap is highly unnecessary and almost seems unfeasible in correlation with the beat. But Trey sort of hung in there and stuck it out with the arrangements – I did not get that vibe at all.
“Blue Magic” ft. Trey Songz • ( RADIO RIP )
First up, I just caught wind on some more information regarding T.I. Although he was denied bail in today’s hearing, U.S. Magistrate Alan Baverman scheduled a hearing for this Friday. At that time, he will decide whether there was probable cause to arrest the rapper and if T.I. will qualify for bond before a trial.
T.I.’s longtime girlfriend, Tameka “Tiny” Cottle, was charged with drug possession and was released. She apparently had some marijuana and ecstasy on her. Neither Young Dro nor Mac Boney were charged with any crimes, and they both were released.
And last but not least, the full 9-page long affidavit running down Saturday’s events has leaked to the public (no surprise there) and you can download that mofo HERE. I just skimmed through some of the pages in Adobe Reader, but from read I read … SMH. I hate to say it, but T.I.P. might have gotten the best of T.I. Looks like they’re BOTH goin down…
He did it last year with “Hip Hop Is Head,” and now Nas is attempting to spark some discussion and controversy with the title of his new album, “Nigga.” I’m sure homeboy has a damn good reason for naming his album this, but damn! Peep the story straight from BILLBOARD below:
During an Oct. 12 concert at New York’s Roseland Ballroom, the rapper told the crowd the album would be called “Nigga.” Def Jam had no comment on the title at deadline. The set will be the follow-up to last year’s “Hip-Hop Is Dead,” Nas’ Def Jam debut. The set has sold 743,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. As previously reported, Nas will also be the subject of a “Greatest Hits” album, which arrives November 6 via his former label home, Columbia.
I wonder how long it’s going to take for Al Sharpton & Rev. Jesse Jackson to respond to this…
This is (of course) a preview of what’s to come for the next issue of XXL Magazine. But I just can’t get over the fact that Jay-Z’s soup coolers take over 75% of the page. And no, I’m not exaggerating! Okay, maybe a little bit … lol. Those shades are pretty dope though…
What a weekend! I decided to dedicate today’s rundown to our beloved celebrities who don’t know how to act. T.I. got sent to jail for packing more heat than the Al-Qaeda and when he went to his court hearing today, he was denied bail. So there’s no telling when he’ll be released. Foxy Brown, as usual, is being well … Foxy Brown, and decided she wasn’t going to go to court last week. And Diddy got pissed at a dude (allegedly) and two-pieced him in the face. You can read alllll about these three celebrities below, and after the cut!!
T.I. MIGHT BE IN JAIL FOR A HOT MINUTE! » A federal judge on Monday ordered Grammy Award-winning rapper T.I. held in a U.S. jail for at least three more days pending a bail hearing after his arrest on illegal weapons charges. The brief court appearance on Monday was the first time T.I., born Clifford Harris, had appeared publicly since he left fans bewildered by not showing up for the awards, one of the biggest events on the hip hop calendar. He appeared nervous as he was led into court in handcuffs and responded “Yes sir,” or “Yes, your Honor” to questions as Judge Alan Baverman explained the legal process he faced.
Family members, some of whom cried, packed into the small courtroom. “Federal law requires that I keep you in custody pending the holding of a detention hearing,” said Baverman, who set the hearing for Friday. Government prosecutors said they would request that T.I. remain in jail until trial, which they said was standard in such cases. Later, government agents displayed to reporters 10 guns, including an AK-47 and two AR-15s, they said had been found in T.I.’s possession. They also showed the guns and silencers they said he had just received when he was arrested.
“Machine guns and silencers pose serious dangers to our community. The last place (they) … should be is in the hands of a convicted felon,” said U.S. Attorney David Nahmias, adding T.I. could face up to 20 years in prison, if convicted of both counts. [ REUTERS » ]

And last, but most certainly not least, flicks from inside the show! I, for one, cannot wait until October 17th when this bad boy airs on BET at 8 PM. I’m mad T.I. didn’t get to perform due to his “unfortunate incarceration,” but you can’t cry over spilled milk, right? Anyhow, judging by these photos, the show looked to be on point! MTV … break out the pen and pad, and jot down some notes. Check out the remaining photos after the cut!
