The Low Down for May 25, 2010

Are They Or Aren’t They?

Last timed I checked, Rihanna was telling the Daily Mirror that she was in love with Matt Kemp. Well now she’s singing a different tune. She recently told the British magazine You that they’re not officially a couple. And like I reported yesterday, Matt was caught spending time with up-and-coming pop singer Kristine Elezaj. I wonder if we’ll be hearing break up reports soon!?!

Is Lil Wayne Hating On Toya’s New Man?

Word is Lil Weezy called his daughter’s mother Toya from Riker’s Island to tell her to break up with her new man Memphitz! Recently, R&B singer K. Michelle accused Memph of getting physically abusive with her. So supposedly, Lil Weezy-ana told her to stop messing with Memph and keep him away from their daughter!

Monica’s Ex Offers Reward

Monica’s ex and the father of her sons, Rocko, is offering a $50,000 reward for the return of his stolen laptop. It was taken out of his Cadillac Escalade while he was at Benihana’s.



Timbaland Settles Lawsuit

Timbaland settled a lawsuit with David Cortpassi, who sued him for copyright infringement. Timbaland sampled Cortopassi’s “Spaz” for his song “Throw It On Me” from his Shock Value album. Damn Tombo, you thieving like that? Maybe he took Rocko’s laptop too! I’m just saying!

Diddy Is Doing Too Much

Diddy just signed on as Rick Ross’ manager and he’s already trying to take on new jobs! He’s been on Twitter, Facebook and Myspace campaigning to takeover Simon’s spot on American Idol next season. He’s even spoken to Simon’s business manager. I need Diddy to focus!!

Will Eddie Murphy Returning To His Roots?

Eddie Murphy is considering returning to his stand-up roots. He said, “Within the last six months or so, I have started getting an itch to do it again.” He also said, “It’s gonna take at least a year to get the rust off, 20 years of rust.”

Suge Knight Is Free

Suge Knight is a free man after posting $60,000 bail. He was arrested Thursday and charged with suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and driving with a suspended license. Plus a warrant for that whole situation with Yukmouth. His lawyer MUST BE delusional because he told CNN that Suge “is really looked up to in the African American community.” Really?!? I must not have gotten that memo! LOL

Ludacris And Usher Do Good In The Hood

Over the weekend, Ludacris volunteered at a KaBoom! Playground build at an elementary in Atlanta. And Usher is gearing up for his annual free summer camp that helps 150 young people who want to be dancers, singers or producers.
