Radio DJ Says Tracy Morgan Innapropriately “Groped” Her
Â
Weeks before Tracy Morgan is due to begin wearing a court-ordered ankle bracelet that monitors the amount of alcohol in his system, the actor was accused Friday morning (5/11) of being drunk while getting a little too handsy with a South Florida disc jockey. Yuleika De Castro, whose on-air name is Sandy Domingo, filed a misdemeanor battery complaint against the comedian. She told Miramar Police she felt “dirty†and “violated†after Morgan, reeking of booze, touched her shoulders and arms, and kissed the back of her head. “He said he wants to impregnate me,” De Castro told The Associated Press. De Castro said she pushed him away and he was escorted out of the studio by the people he came with, according to Miramar Police Department spokesman Bill Robertson.
Morgan, a co-star on NBC sitcom “30 Rock,” was in town to perform standup at the Improv Comedy Club in Coconut Grove. His Friday and Saturday night shows were canceled, said Isis Darios, who works in the box office. Club officials wouldn’t say why [but it’s pretty obvious — Dustin]. The Broward County State Attorney’s Office says it will decide whether to file charges against Morgan once the police report is complete. As previously reported, the comedian pleaded guilty in February to a misdemeanor drunken driving charge in New York. Morgan agreed to a plea deal last month that allowed him to avoid jail by wearing a SCRAM (Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitoring) device — an ankle bracelet worn to test for alcohol vapors emitted from the skin. The tests will run every 30 minutes for 90 days.
One positive test will result in a repeat of the 90 days. If he fails a second time he’ll be forced to spend 30 days in a county jail. Morgan will also have to complete five days of community service. He previously pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor impaired driving charge in Los Angeles and was sentenced to 36 months’ probation, fined $390 and ordered to attend an alcohol education program … Damn Tracy!

Kim Kardashian Fears Grandkids will See Sex Tape
Los Angeles socialite Kim Kardashian is “relieved” her sex tape nightmare is over but she still fears her grandchildren will be able to see her performing sex acts on ex-boyfriend Ray J. Boutique owner Kardashian, who is one of Paris Hilton’s best friends, recently settled her legal dispute with porn DVD firm Vivid Entertainment yesterday over the release of her sex tape with her singer ex. Vivid Entertainment, who paid $1 million to an unidentified source for the video, will hand over nearly $5 million to Kardashian and stop distributing the tape by the end of next month. Kardashian tells In Touch Weekly magazine, “I’m just so relieved that this chapter of my life is now over… I never wanted everyone to think of me as Kim Kardashian, sex tape star.”
But the pretty socialite fears the damage has already been done and too many people already have snippets of her naked and performing sex acts. She explains, “I still have to live with the embarrassment and fear that one day my grandkids are going to see it.” Meanwhile, Ray J had a little fun with his stint as a sex tape star in Las Vegas a couple weeks ago. He hosted a Kim Kardashian look-alike contest as part of a party at JET nightclub.
Sorry Kim, but I wouldn’t flatter myself so much if I were you. That tape was so damn boring I sort of forgot you had one before reading this! No need to worry, no one even cares anymore…
Foxy Brown Almost Runs Down Mother & Baby in Brooklyn!
Â
Foxy Brown seems to be up to her wild antics. This time, she allegedly came close to running down a mother and her baby in Brooklyn recently. According to the New York Daily News, a young mother claimed that Foxy Brown, in a silver Range Rover, almost ran her down along with her baby in a stroller.
“I jumped back, pulling the stroller, and yelled at the driver, ‘You should watch where you’re going!'” she told the rapper. “She cursed at me and proceeded to drive down Prospect Place.”
The mother, who remains anonymous, said she called the police, who later arrived, but said there wasn’t much they could do because Foxy didn’t actually hit her. Even though the mother and baby weren’t hit, they should have never been in that predicament in the first place. Why? Because Foxy Brown actually shouldn’t have been behind the wheel! The DMV later confirmed with the Daily News that the rapper’s driver’s license is currently revoked for her failing to respond to summonses. And that’s a damn shame because if she had’ve killed someone she could’ve just kissed her “career” or whatever’s left of it good-bye. And what’s up with her cussing the lady out?? SHE was in the wrong…
Be In Ne-Yo’s “Spotlight”…
This is yet another bonus track (produced by Heavyweights), “Spotlight,” from R&B singer Ne-Yo’s Because Of You album, in stores now, it’s a fun feel good track; apparently also a special dedication to someone. I love the flute playing throughout this record, has a nice melody, and of course as always Ne-Yo puts it down on this joint as well. Ya’ll need to cop that Ne-Yo album for real, it’s crazy!

Can’t Forget About You Chrisette Michele!
Surrounded by music since she was a small child, twenty-four year old singer, songwriter and composer Chrisette Michele has been blessed with an old soul and this Long Island bred songwriter and vocalist has a deep appreciation for the harmonic foundations that includes gospel and jazz. “I did my first solo when I was four years old,†Chrisette remembers.
Currently putting the finishing touches on her soulful debut album, an artistic exploration that fuses Chrisette’s diverse musical interest into a wonderland, the young artist couldn’t be more pleased. “I realize that I’m new to the music world, but I’ve been preparing for this moment for long time.â€
Even before signing on the dotted line of her Def Jam contract last year, the multitalented soul sister had toured with more established artists like Kem and India Arie. “India saw me singing at the Village Underground in New York City. She came backstage that first night and graciously offered me a gig as her opening act.â€
T.I. Shows Think2wice Some Love!

New Artist: Brick & Lace
Akon’s Brick & Lace (Konvict/Geffen Records) release the new single “Love is Wicked” from their forthcoming Summer album Love Is Wicked! Part urban singers and part urbane songstresses, sibling duo Brick & Lace are genre-busters who staunchly defy the 30-second pitch. The amalgamated sound that makes up their Kon Live/180/Geffen debut, Love Is Wicked, is unique, though also at once very familiar. Born to a Jamaican father and an American mother and raised predominantly in Kingston, Jamaica –on an opulent musical diet of reggae, R&B, hip hop, pop and country– 26-year-old Nyanda and 24-year-old Nailah Thorbourne couldn’t help but be trans-eclectic. “We are a hybrid,” affirms Nailah in her effortlessly sexy West-Indian lilt. “It’s not fabricated at all; it’s who we are.” Indeed, who they are is evident in their moniker: “Our mother came up with the name ‘Lace’ and we immediately liked it,” explains the incisively passionate Nyanda. “But we still felt that there was an edge missing, so I came up with ‘Brick.’ It has stuck with us ever since and has evolved with us.”

Hilary Duff On The Set Of “Stranger” Plus Radio Edit
Here is a snap shot of Hilary Duff on the set of her new video for “Stranger,” it was confirmed that this will be the third single from her latest album, Dignity. Below you can also listen to the radio edit version of “Stranger,” the strings are pretty hot, I also like the nice little Indian thing at the beginning which I guess relates to what she is wearing in the picture. Looks like the video will be interesting– can’t wait! We’ll keep you posted.
R Kelly: Double Up + R Kelly TV!
Â
Oh lawd, another celebrity with too much free time on their hands. Yes folks, Mr. Robert Kelly himself has his own youtube-powered “reality series” entitled, of course, R Kelly TV. You can subscribe to that bad boy here. C’mon … you know you want to! And remember that new album I was telling y’all about that hits stores later on this month?? Well you already know it’s called “Double Up” but you can finally check out the official tracklisting after the cut!
Kelly Rowland Randomness….
I like it, “Comeback,” a nice little club joint with a heavy base, some electric keys I hear; produced by Scott Storch. Well, yet again– Kelly Rowland’s album postponed! That thing’s been pushed back and has had more changes to it than [insert joke here]. Everything is just a little disorganized and confusing, the album is now set to release July 3rd instead of from it’s originally date, which was June 26th. Rumors are her management was afraid of releasing the album during 50 Cent’s release and didn’t want to compete. Oh please! And now, she will have to compete with T.I. Hopefully during the time before the release Kelly’s management came get themselves together and promote her correctly cause, I’m so serious when I say this, some of friends don’t even hardly know who she is or just “that girl from Destiny’s Child.” Anyway, I also snagged a few more promo pictures for Ms. Kelly Click Here!

ALBUM REVIEW: Linkin Park – Minutes To Midnight
Whew, I know I am kind of late [but actually kind of early with this.] considering the “Cyber Land” community. I also meant to post the video for “What I’ve Done” a long time ago, but I guess I got caught up in the “hype,” and posted what was “in” at the time. How on this earth can I forget about, one of the best bands that I happen to like, Linkin Park! Well anyway, Minutes To Midnight (album cover shown above), the third studio album from the group, is scheduled to be released May 15th 2007 in the United States and will include their first single, “What I’ve Done,” which was released on April 2, 2007 and debuted at number one on the U.S. Modern Rock charts! The album is full of hardcore rock aggression and interesting choice of lyrics in some songs; “What I’ve Done,” “Hands Held High,” “No More Sorrow”…. All my personal favorites by the way. Overall it was a pretty damn good listen (“Given Up” = Kick. Ass. Shit.) *sigh* man, ya’ll really need to listen to rock… After the cut you can watch the video for “What I’ve Done” also, hats off to the director, it captured the whole essence of the song in it’s complete entirety. It touches on some few global issues such as animal cruelty, inhumanity, righteous America (the same America claiming patriotism), war, and current events like uh.. Darfur! Heeelllloooo, wake up people, wake up! Oh, and J recently bought up a request that I found was a great idea, I use to do it but stopped, posting alternate links for new music just in case the original link is down for whatever reason; because I got a lot of request to post some links back up but I could not, sorry. BUT, from now on I will take this into consideration and post a “Mirror,” meaning alternate, link when posting BFF. I deeply apologize for the inconvenience ya’ll.
