The Dirty Laundry for January 31, 2011

50 Cent Beefs With One Of His Ex’s
We all know that even though you and your ex aren’t together, it’s still easy for them to push your buttons. Well that’s exactly what Ciara did to 50 Cent. She jumped things off by tweeting “The things people tweet say a lot about their character, pay attention.” That was her response to Fiddy tweeting that he’d left the Playboy Mansion and was inspired to be a pimp. Well after her tweet, 50 responded with “Yea I tweet things that reflect my character (b-word). Get one. That’s why your 3 million followers are behind me.” They went back and forth with a few more tweets before Fif ended it by telling Ciara “Cut it out.”

Naked Pictures of Rihanna Are Leaked
Another pop diva is dealing with her own “ex-issues.” Rihanna’s ex baller leaked her topless pictures. Supposedly RiRi reportedly sent them to a certain famous baller she was dating after Chris Brown. Her ex then shared the pics with his boys and somebody sent them to Media Takeout.

Does Chris Brown Miss His RiRi?
Speaking of Rihanna and exes, Chris Brown has requested to end the restraining order against him by Rihanna. The order’s not set to expire until 2014 but Chris’ attorney asked the judge to cancel the order on Friday. But no such luck, the judge kept the order in place. But there was some good news for Breezy, the judge said he doesn’t have to come in for progress hearing every three months.

And the restraining order may be the reason that Chris won’t be attending the Grammy’s. Breezy’s rep blames a “scheduling conflict,” but some folks are saying the restraining order is the reason!

DJ Kool Herc Needs Some Help Paying His Medical Bills
Here’s for all my hip-hop heads, you’ll be glad to know that the father of Hip-Hop, DJ Kool Herc just left the hospital after being very sick, but there’s some bad news too…he doesn’t have enough health insurance to cover his medical costs. If you want to make a donation to the father of Hip-Hop’s medical fund, log onto facebook.com/power98fm for the address.

Bruno Mars Gets A Reprieve
Bruno Mars got some good news! He accepted a plea deal in his Las Vegas cocaine possession case. He’ll pay a $2,000 fine, perform 200 hours of community service, go through drug counseling, and secure a year’s probation!

Bobby Brown Is Back
And speaking of the ol’school, Bobby Brown announced that he’ll be dropping a new album this spring. He’ll be premiering the first single, “Get Out The Way” on February 9th! He’s also developing a new reality show with his fiancĂ©.

Box Office

The Lowdown for July 26, 2010

The Dirty Laundy




Brian You Are Not The Father!
Good news for Brian McKnight! He’s off the hook for over $300,00 in back child support. A Florida woman said he was the father of her 14 year old, but Brian took a DNA test and found out he’s not that baby’s pappy!

Drake’s Got Reason to Celebrate
Drake’s debut album, Thank Me Later, which was released in June, has officially been certified platinum.

Lil Kim Has Issues With Everyone
Well it seems like Lil Kim has issues with almost every female rapper! But Eve said she and Kim were able to get passed their beef because of dogs!! Eve said they were sitting across from each other at a M.A.C. Cosmetics dinner and started talking about their pets. It was through that conversation that they were able to kiss & make up!

Young Buck: 50 Cent Ruined Me
Speaking of beef, Young Buck is accusing 50 Cent of destroying his career. Buck, who was dismissed from G-Unit in 2008, says 50 has done everything he can to keep buck from working. He said plenty of artists have reached out to him to collab but that 50 won’t approve it! Buck says 50 wants to destroy his life from a silent-sided way of doing things!

The Dream & Christina Milian Saga
I bet The Dream and Christina Milian will have some major beef soon! Christina just filed a legal response to the divorce papers that The Dream filed back in February. She wants the judge to throw out his papers because the relationship was not irretrievably broken, but was destroyed rather, by Dream’s cheating. She’s also claiming that the only reason she signed a settlement agreement that waived alimony or ownership rights is because she was 9 months pregnant and in no condition to be signing important documents!

Michael Jackson To Be Honored
Michael Jackson will be inducted into the Hall of Fame at the National Museum of Dance next month.

Al Jarreau Collapses
Al Jarreau is in critical condition after collapsing before a gig last Thursday.

Navarro is suing for compensatory damages for overtime hours worked.

P. Diddy’s 4th of July party was so huge that even he couldn’t get in! Authorities temporarily closed down Diddy’s "Red, White & Blue" party at Harrah's Resort in Atlantic City because it was so crowded. Diddy posted a message on Twitter saying: "The party was so crazy I couldn't even get in!!!!!!"

Ciara “Rides” The Wave Of Success
With her latest single, “Ride,” charting in the Top 10, Ciara is moving up the released date for her new album, “Basic Instinct.” The disc was supposed to drop on August 24, but now it's due a week earlier, on August 17.

Dave Chappelle Freaks Out During A Flight
Dave Chappelle reportedly "freaked out" during a flight, repeatedly entering the cockpit to ask how much longer before they landed. The pilot deemed Chappelle a safety risk, made an emergency landing and kicked him off the private plane. Chappelle's rep says he was ill -- and the plane's rest room was "not the kind he needed." Don’t nobody go in there for 30 to 45 minutes!!!

The Lowdown for June 14, 2010

Kid Cudi Arrested
Kid Cudi was arrested in NYC and charged with felony criminal mischief and possession of a controlled substance! Word is that Cudi took a 24-year-old woman’s phone and slammed it so hard it smashed into pieces. He also allegedly broke the door of her apartment off its hinges. Daaaaayyyyuuum! Cops arrived and found a glass bottle of a controlled substance. Hmmm…I wonder what it was! I’ll keep you posted!

Nicki Minaj’s Subliminal Shots
Lil' Kim has finally given of an explanation for her beef with Nicki Minaj. She said, "For the last year, she has been subliminally taking shots at me. Subliminally taking shots at the other girls in the industry... She said, 'Being that the other rap chicks in the game ain't got [nothing] to do right now, when I'm by the pool, they can feed me grapes'... I keep my ears to the street at all the time." She also took shots at Drake, calling him a p*&%y for coming at her!

Dre’s Chronic Flame is Ashed
A California judge has thrown out Dr. Dre's claims that Death Row's release of The Chronic Re-Lit violated his rights of trademark and publicity. Last week, Judge Christina Snyder applied the so-called Monty Python rule, after a 1976 case where a defendant extensively edited the comedy series to air it on television. Snyder ruled that unlike in the Monty Python case, the alterations to the new release were "minor and inconsequential." Snyder did allow Dre's claim that he hasn't been paid royalties on the album since splitting from Death Row in 1996.

Joe Jackson Blames Katherine For Michael’s Death
Michael Jackson’s father, Joe Jackson, blames MJ’s mother, Katherine Jackson, for his death! Hoe told Britain's News of the World he'd been telling Katherine for months to get MJ into drug rehab. He says, "If she'd done what I asked, Michael would be here today. I am incensed with her. She could have made a difference."

Who’s Yo Daddy: The Brian McKnight Edition
Miriam Lee filed paternity and child support documents in Orange County, FL last year claiming that Brian McKnight is the father of her 14-year-old son.
Because Brian never responded to the claims, the judge ruled that he is the father and he's been ordered to pay over $341,640 in back child support. Brian’s rep, said however, "The judgment in Florida was a default judgment made without Brian present." He's still looking to establish paternity, and is awaiting the results of a recent test." Maybe she should have taken him on Maury! Can you imagine…“Brian, you ARE the father!”

Cleveland Show Returning
Even though the second season hasn’t aired yet, Fox has renewed the third season of “The Cleveland Show,” the “Family Guy” spinoff! The upcoming “Cleveland” second season will feature guest voices Justin Timberlake, T-Pain, Tony Hawk, Snoop Dogg and the cast of “Glee.” I’m not a fan of the show, but those that are should be happy!

Box office Report
The Karate Kid kicked butt this weekend, brining in $56 million, more than double The A-Team's disappointing $26 million. And Shrek Forever After came in third with $15.8 million!
