The Lowdown for August 12, 2010

The Dirty Laundry

Fabolous Involved in Grand Theft Auto
It was grand theft auto for Fabolous in Washington, D.C. after his turtle top van was stolen, but police did recover it. Fab took to Twitter to say how annoyed he was over the whole thing.

J.Lo Loses Job
Speaking of annoyed, word is that the folks over at American Idol were irritated with Jennifer Lopez. She had been negotiating a deal as a permanent judge on the show, but in true J. Lo fashion, her demands supposedly got way out of control.

Nick Cannon’s Contract Extended
Well while J. Lo is losing the job, Nick Cannon aka Mr. Carey, just got an extension in his position as the chairman for the Teen Nick cable network. At least Mariah knows her man has some kind of income through January 2012! LOL

Drake’s Fake Manager
Nick Cannon might have a legitimate job, but a dude named Joey Turner doesn’t. But that didn’t stop him from pretending! He is being sued for impersonating Drake and Lil Wayne’s manager, Cortez Bryant. He booked a fake show for Drake and Weezy in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and made off with $9,000 of the promoter’s money.

Lil Wayne Being Sued…Again…And Again..
Speaking of managers, Lil Wayne’s former manager has filed a lawsuit against Weezy, saying she was cheated out of her piece of Weezy’s $200 million in earnings.

What Beef? Young Jeezy Says There is None
I don’t know who is a bigger back-peddler, Diddy or Jeezy. I told you about the whole controversy surrounding Rick Ross’ “BMF” song and the “Death Before Dishonor” song that Young Jeezy did over the “BMF” beat. Well now Jeezy is saying that it wasn’t a shot at Rick Ross. He told MTV, "It's not a diss. First of all, I'm not gonna get nothing out of dissing that guy. That's one ... I think sometimes people can read into things too deep. They trippin' man. They crazy out there. Basically, if homie takes that as a diss, he's insecure, and anybody else out there who does, they are insecure." Sounds like more shots fired to me! But some people are saying that Def Jam, the record label they are both signed to, might be playing puppet master to increase both of their album sales! We’ll see…

Russell Simmons vs. Bossip
Russell Simmons and the gossip site Bossip.com may be beefing soon if they don’t stop calling him names…well, one name in particular. He said he’s been receiving death threats because of the nickname Bossip gave him…Blood Diamond Russ. He’s threatening legal action!

I’m Yasmin Young and that’s the Dirty Dirty, No Detergent baby! For even more tune in to The Morning Madhouse on Power 98!
