interesting photographs of these wonderful celebrities that we love to hear
about so much. Now where should I start???

Foxy
Brown has been sentenced to three years probation for an assault
case that was prolonged for more than two years. Although she attempted
to withdraw the initial guilty plea she filed, Judge Melissa C. Jackson
rejected the appeal and imposed her sentence. Under the plea bargain,
Brown is instructed to enroll into anger management classes. Im
innocent, pleaded Foxy, claiming her lawyers rushed her into making
a decision to avoid jail time. Well at least she didnt get any
jail time! She should be thankful for that much!

The
Diva with a tude!!!! Miss Naomi Campbell has been arrested yet
again for attacking her drug counselor this past Tuesday,
October 24th. According to the Daily News the woman claimed to be scratched
all over her face after the attack. According to her lawyer, David
Breitbart, Campbell was in London trying to renew her visa to work in
the United States and was required to take some drug tests for that process.
This is the same woman who just missed her court date in September to
address charges that she hurled a cell phone at her former maid, Ana Scolavino,
hitting her in the head. Not to mention she has an extravagant list of
other |
assault charges brought
against her. I would encourage this overbearing, runway vixen to attend the
same anger management classes that Foxy is attending; they both have temper
mental issues!

UPDATE!!!!
The IRS has found Wesley Snipes, although he has no plans on returning
to America anytime soon! He is currently in Namibia, working on a new
film tiled, Gallowwalker. According to VIBE.com, producer of the film
Joanne Reay stated that, although he is wanted for tax fraud, Snipes
has no plans on returning to America until the third week in December.
He needs to develop a hustle to save his life before he returns to bars
and bologna sandwiches for dinner!!

spot.Cops spotted them and pulled them over.

As officers shined
a flashlight into the vehicle, Prodigy was seen squirming to
block something police sources said. A search revealed a .22 caliber handgun
in the front center console, cops said. Both men were charged with criminal
possession of a weapon. At their arraignment, Prodigy 31, was released on
$7,500 bail. Afterward, he called the charges bull-shit. The
Alchemist was released on his own recognizance.

Shes
in the money!!!! Ex-
Source Magazine editor, Kim Osorio hit the jackpot after she sued hip-hops
well known magazine for sexual discrimination, claiming that she was
unjustly fired back in 2005. While working at the magazine, Osorio stated
that she endured photos of barely clothed women and obscene conversations
where vulgarities were thrown randomly on a day-to-day basis. The magazine
claims that Osorio was fired due to missing deadlines and being a poor
leader but according to the tapes, these magazine executives werent
the most professional people themselves. I felt like I was defending
hip-hop, said Osorio. I hope that people in hip-hop will
understand the significance of this. I would hope they did also!

Mya
Gives a response to the claims that 50 Cent slept with her. She insists
the claims from 50 are false. She tells Complex magazine, "He claimed
to have slept with me and that's totally incorrect. If that's how you
choose to succeed then karma's a bitch. "I don't have time for that
small bulls**t."

On
the flip- side of things, Americas Next Top Model winner, Eva
Pigford has plans to host her very own model reality show. The show titled,
My Model Looks Better Than Your Model, promises to take the
makeover genre to a whole new level. The show features three contestants
instead of the 13 gorgeous ladies who attempt to survive the
ANTM makeover. These three contestants are assigned a weekly fashion theme,
which they need to execute on professional models with their personal
style including help from the fashion industrys best in clothes,
makeup and hairstylists. Sounds like an ANTM meets Project Runaway, project
if you ask me. But whos asked me right??? |
