HAPPY
B-DAY ALICIA KEYS. It was supposed to be Alicia Keys' 27th birthday
party, but Kimora Lee Simmons took center stage when she got into a
bizarre screaming fight with another woman Wednesday night. According
to the New york Daily, The bash at club "Bed" started out
mellow, with Keys hanging out with her boyfriend, Kerry (Krucial) Brothers,
and pals like Clive Davis, Missy Elliott and Common. But minutes after
everyone had sung "Happy Birthday," a shrill voice shattered
the vibe. "Get out of my face, bitch!"
screamed Kimora, according to a witness. Apparently
she was yelling at a woman in
jeans
|
and a tan vest. "Kimora said that the woman had thrown a drink at her,"
says one attendee. "She didn't look wet to me. But security grabbed the
girl and ushered her out." Asked by another guest what the fight was about,
the woman said, "She's jealous of me!" The woman couldn't be reached
yesterday. Kimora's rep described her as "a disrespectful fan" who
"accosted" Simmons. One source added, "Kimora doesn't even know
this person, but [the woman] constantly shows up at events where Kimora is expected.
Frankly, it's a little scary. Kimora is looking into getting a restraining order."
Whatever the back story, Keys didn't seem to appreciate the drama. "When
Kimora was leaving, Alicia totally ignored her," claimed a source. Keys'
rep insisted, "She had a wonderful time." I think Kimora and Kanye
West would make a terrific couple..don't you? _________________________

WU-TANG REUNION. Steve Rifkind
hooks up with the Wu for 5th album. "This is the perfect time for
us to come back, the stars are aligned," stated RZA. "It's
like when we first started with Steve. We put out real hip-hop at a
time when it was turning into pop or R&B. We brought the focus back
to the music in its rawest form, without studio polish or radio hooks."
"The energy is just like it was, and it's needed in our industry
same as back then," adds Rifkind. "Over the last few years,
the group has developed a whole new fan base from the new generation
of hip hop fans that never even seen them play." This will be their
5th album. The album titled "8 Diagrams" is slated for a summer
release. "People want something that gives them an adrenaline rush,
we're here to supply that fix. How could hip-hop be dead if Wu-Tang
is forever?"
