T.I. hosted a little get together to celebrate the release of his new album (and its 500,000+ copy-selling #1 debut) T.I. vs T.I.P. at the Prive in Miami Beach. Check out the rest of the flicks after the cut…
Music Quickie: Trey Songz & Eve
The new song “Can’t Help But Wait” is supposedly set to be Trey Songz’ second single, following the sonic hit “Wonder Woman,” from the album Trey Day. Sounds like some more fantastic production from Stargate. I think I like “No Clothes On” better =x it just sounds so catchy; very contemporary and “radio friendly” I guess? Nonetheless I love this joint!

Video Premiere: 50 Cent – “I Get Money”
Here’s another video – “I Get Money” – released from Fiddy’s latest studio album “Curtis.” Can’t say that I’m feeling this one. The best thing about the video were the borders on the top and bottom that looked like marquees that displayed random ish. Genius! The song still sucks though, and the video is just “bleh.” I’m still waiting on that “She Wants It” video lol. Anyhow, check out “I Get Money” for yourselves above…
Today’s Candids: Mike Tyson & His New “Lady Friend” in Hollywood and Naomi Campbell & a Friend in St. Tropez
Who in their right minds would date Mike Tyson? In these snapshots from yesterday, crazy ass Mike Tyson was spotted having lunch at Urth cafe in Hollywood and enjoying a popsicle with an unidentified woman. Hold up, this is NOT the same woman he was chillin with at the ESPYs. Anyhow, the two were later spotted “kissing.” It’s only a matter of time he starts beating and raping her a la Robin Givens. That poor, poor woman…
Trey Songz in Flaunt Magazine
Here are some shots of our boy Trey Songz in a fashion spread in the latest issue of “Flaunt Magazine.” If you’ve been wondering what’s been going on with Trey’s album, then there’s no need to worry. Atlantic pushed the album back because Wonder Woman didn’t generate the kind of buzz they were hoping for. The album still is set to be released this summer, and the label is already pushing out a second single. Anyhow, check out his “Flaunt Magazine” spread after the cut!
T.I. Needs to Stop Smokin Whatever He’s Smokin … Or Should I Say “T.I.P.”
[youtube p5nSzdT14a0]
As y’all probably know by now, I am a T.I. fan. But this dude has to draw the line somewhere. What is he trying to prove, and who is he trying to prove it to? Our friends over at MOCHA ENT tipped us on a recent “mishap” between T.I. and a spectator in the audience at a recent performance. This is what my boy fuXor had to say about the incident:
A man threw his cup over his shoulder facing away from the stage trying to hide the fact that he threw it at T.I. I looked directly at T.I. as the cup was thrown and he immediately stopped rapping and walked up to the edge of the stage to seek out who threw the cup. He looked at me and of course… I didn’t snitch on the dude. But this girl standing next to me did… lol. I personally seen T.I. drop the microphone on the floor before charging the man. On top of that, there was a loud thud coming out the speakers from the drop of the mic. She pointed out the guy and T.I. immediately jumped off the stage, dropped the mic and started swinging in our direction looking to knock the dude out. Security broke everything up immediately….
Hmm, looks as though someone is taking this T.I. vs T.I.P. thing a little too seriously. Don’t ya think??
Friday’s Rundown: The N-Word Has Been Buried, Eve Supposedly Brings Female Prostitute to Hotel Room, and Yes … More Danity Kane Drama!
I’M NOT SURE IF BURYING THE N-WORD WILL WORK » As promised, demonstrators at a week-long convention in Detroit, Michigan held a public mock funeral for the N-Word. We reported about this happening a couple of months ago, and it looks as though the NAACP actually followed through with it! It’s a shame it didn’t get much news coverage though, because this happened on Monday, and it’s now Friday and we’re just now hearing about it. So I’m not sure whether or not this “mock funeral” was just a waste of time. Read more about this over at BILLBOARD. The rest of the daily rundown can be found after the cut!

It’s that time of the year again, when Mo’Nique hosts a fashion show for big girls and crowns one lucky woman as Ms. FAT (Fabulous And Thick). Here Mo’Nique can be seen with the women in a recent photoshoot done in Paris. Yes, they are completely naked and covered in body paint! That takes GUTS! I wouldn’t even do anything like that lol.

Well I’ll Be Damned! More Danity Kane Drama
As every hour goes by, I start to realize how true all of the rumors may be. Dawn Richard is recording solo material, D Woods is dropping the group to become an actress, and now Aubrey O’Day is putting Diddy on blast for not pushing the group. TMZ caught up with O’Day outside of Teddy’s in Hollywood last night where she semi-confirmed rumors of her joinging the Pussycat Dolls. Hey, at least they’re going somewhere! Danity Kane however? Haha, let’s not speak on that … I just hope MTB4 is watching how all of this is going down. I’d think 2wice before I go on another cheesecake mission ya heard?
DO YOU THINK THERE’S A FUTURE FOR DANITY KANE?

Busta Rhymes to See His Day in Court and More…
Â
In the above photo Busta Rhymes can be seen arriving at the Manhattan Criminal Court for a hearing July 10, 2007 in New York City. Mr. Tempor Tantrum himself, also known as Trevor Jones, is on trial for 4 different offenses: (1) driving under the influence, driving on a suspended license, assaulting an employee, and beating a fan who allegedly spot on his car. Manhattan District Court Judge Larry Stephen ruled the prosecution could not combine the two assault charges. The four trials will run consecutively, starting on September 5.
In other Busta news, radio personality / celebrity wannabe Ms. Jones admits having an affair with Busta Rhymes in a Superhead-like tell-all type book entitled “Have You Met Ms Jones.” She went on to reveal that Busta is very gentle, and that he asked her to marry him during intercourse once. She also talks about an encounter with Jay-Z, and living in the same apartment complex as Lil Kim and Faith Evans, among other things. Looks like someone has some bills to pay! Her little job at Hot 97.1 must not be generating enough cash…
