Hello
my humble readers, I am back and with more juicy news for all those inquiring
minds!!

Super
model, Naomi Campbell may be strutting her stuff behind bars as a result
of a missed court date on September 27. Judge James Gibbons issued the
warrant and agreed to hold it until Naomis next court date, which
is set for November 15. Campbell, who is in desperate need of anger
management, is charged with smashing a bejeweled mobile phone on her
maids head last March. She recently held another public showcase
of her anger when she verbally lashed out at a Qantas Airways employee
after a flight from Thailand to Australia. Though Campbell has shockingly
pleaded not guilty in this case, she did plead guilty
in a Canadian Court in 2000 after grabbing yet another assistant by
the throat and striking her on the head with a telephone. Im trying
to understand why shes pleading not guilty in this case. This
woman is clearly suffering from, Im an aging DIVA
|
syndrome.
There is no need for the hissy fits anymore, for crying out loud youre
36!!! Get over it and continue to be
the oldest model in the Rockafella ads!

Another
victim in todays news, an unidentified 29-year old woman was struck
in the head with a metal chair during DMXs concert at New Yorks
Nassau Coliseum on Saturday, September 30. The attack came as a result
of an onstage altercation that involved several members of the audience
and members of DMXs entourage. According to the New York Newsday,
the rapper became enraged when his sound was cut midway through his performance.
He ran back, jumped off the stage and started a fight with the sound
person. Headliners of this show included, 50 Cent, Yung Joc, Jim Jones,
Foxy Brown and Lloyd Banks to name a few. |
Apparently
all of the performers were having technological issues during their performance
and of course with DMXs extremely low tolerance, something was bound to
happen. Officers were called to the scene after a game of catch the metal chair
was played between an audience member and one of DMXs affiliates. Cant
we just enjoy an exciting concert with these artists that we love so much??
Apparently not when DMX is performing
..something is always bound to happen
when that mad man is onstage!

Speaking
of injury our prayers go out to rapper Cassidy who is in critical condition
after a terrifying accident this past Wednesday in New Jersey. The rapper
was hit on the passenger side of an SUV after a U-Haul truck swerved
into oncoming traffic and struck the SUV on the passenger side. Cassidy
was rushed to the hospital suffering from a fractured skull along with
other broken bones on his face. He is said to be breathing on his own
and is undergoing a CAT scan. As for the remaining passengers, they
were not injured. Our prayers go out to the young Cassidy, we hope he
makes it out of this okay.

On
a lighter note, rapper Fabolous posted and unofficial ad on his myspace
page asking aspiring producers to send in tracks to be considered for
placement on his next album. Due to the overload of responses to his post,
Fab has stated that if they do not make the album, some will definitely
be featured on the mix-tape. The album, which carries no title thus far,
was slated for a February 2007 release. Look for productions from Just
Blaze, Jazze Pha and Kanye West. Its about time FA-BA-LO-US came
back! |

In
other news, the dynamic hip-hop couple, Nas and Kelis are following the
foot steps of the Brittany and Kev Federlines, the Nick and Jessicas
and preparing to produce a reality TV show focused on their normal
life. Neither has stated anything concrete about the show however rumor
has it that it will be an edgier version of Jesssica and Nicks
Newlyweds series. But I thought that was the point of Brittany and Kevins
Chaotic. Nothing gets more edgier that that! |

Boy
oh boy, Beyonces in the news again!!! How did the statement go again?
If you dont have anything nice to say then dont say anything
at all?? Well, that statement applies to Beyonce and her mom after a press
event in Chicago for the mother / daughter fashion line House of Dereon.
At the Thursday press junket, WBBM-TV consumer reporter, Dorothy Tucker
shot a few rounds at Beyonce and her mother in regards to the quality
of their merchandise. She commented that many of the retailers in the
Chicago area complained about the poor fit the clothing, that the tops
were not correctly sized and that most the production had to be returned
as a result of poor manufacturing. After several attempts to ignore this
persistent reporter, Tina Knowles demanded that the tape stop running
stating that |
she could
not believe that this woman was asking her these negative questions, Why
would you do that, said she, Youre here to interview us about
the clothing line in a positive light. Who said that Tina?? You?? She
was there to interview you the way she wanted to, not the way you wanted her
to. This isnt Burger King honey, you cant always have it your way!!
Whew! Was that
enough news for you?? And could you believe Tina Knowles? If youre merchandise
isnt up to par, then fix that before you do a press conference. Trust
me honey, the world talks and if your clothes dont fit, the world will
know about it. Until next week my humble readers
This is ya gurl
Miss Hinds. Im OUT!
