The Lowdown For June 23, 2010

Fat Joe Responds To Sexual Assault Claim
Fat Joe said that he wasn’t involved in the sexual assault of a 33-year-old woman after a concert in Madison, Wisconsin. His attorney issued this statement: "At no point did Mr. Cartagena [Fat Joe] or any member of his entourage assault or have any improper contact with the woman. It is truly unfortunate that false allegations such as these cause the public to doubt the claims of actual victims of sexual assaults.”

T-Pain & B.O.B To Join BEP On Tour
T-Pain, Jason Derulo and B.O.B have jumped on the second leg of the Black Eyed Peas' The E.N.D. World Tour. T-Pain will be on 12 dates beginning August 3rd in Boston while Derulo and B.O.B. will appear on dates in Canada running July 27th through August 1st.

And speaking of B.O.B, when asked about comparisons between B.O.B. and his OutKast partner Andre 3000, Big Boi said, "There's only one Andre 3000. I can understand people try to associate something with someone they're familiar with but let B.O.B create his own identity. He's a very talented dude."

Fantasia Goes To The NFL
Fantasia has snagged the NFL's Devin Thomas, wide receiver for the Washington Redskins, as the love interest in the video for her new single "Bittersweet." He spoke about working with Fanny, "It was like we had dated before or something...When you meet somebody that's cool, down-to-earth, and you just know you've got to play a certain role, you just fall into the role."

Khloe Kardashian Drops 400 Stacks
Khloe Kardashian is so sweet. To congratulate hubby Lamar Odom on his NBA Championship with the Lakers, she bought him a $400,000, 2010 convertible Rolls Royce. And not a used one, either. Uhh, she needs to stop, she’s setting the bar for congratulatory gifts too high!

Uncle Luke Disowns His Kids!
Since his Kids talked so badly about him on the Internet, Uncle Luke has officially disowned his children - except for one. "I have one kid," Luke said. "His name is Blake Campbell and he stays with me and me and my wife raise him." Luke continued, "When you get a check, the results of that check ends up where your sperm donation kids are online talking bad about you after you spent millions and millions dollars in child support." Daaayum, that’s deep!

Was Michael Jackson’s Voice Fake?
Biographer Ian Halperin is claiming that Michael Jackson spoke in a deep, masculine voice but faked the high-pitched one we're familiar with in public so that he could "act like a boy." Halperin says Jackson thought it was a way for the public to like him. Reverend June Gatlin, Michael's spiritual advisor, confirmed the report, too. "His voice was not high pitched. It was deep - a real man's voice." This in no way seems like a lie.

CBS Sets All-Star MJ Tribute
Christina Aguilera, Smokey Robinson, LL Cool J and Marc Anthony have signed on for a tribute to Michael Jackson this Friday - the one-year anniversary of his death. The tribute will air on CBS' Early Show on Friday morning.

Did Coleman Issue a Restraining Order?
According to documents recovered by RadarOnline, Gary Coleman took out a restraining order on ex-wife Shannon Price just months before she took him off life support last month. The official documents were filed under John Doe VS. Jane Doe and claim that Price moved back into his house against his will while he was hospitalized. The papers say that she "has shown a tendency to damage, destroy and steal my property and I believe she will continue to do so in my absence and while she is trespassing in my home." Coleman added, "I believe if she is given any warning of this pending order to require her to immediately vacate the home, she will cause more damage and destroy more irreplaceable memorabilia, documents, personal papers and other such valuables. I would therefore ask the Court to issue this order ex parte requiring her removal." He was granted the restraining order on February 19th, but never served it. If he had, maybe things would have turned out different!

Is Drake Crushing On Snooki
Word is Drake got cozy with Snooki from Jersey Shore at the Much Music Festival in Toronto over the weekend.

Weezy's Daughter is Banned from Rikers
Lil' Wayne was one dad who couldn't see his daughter on Father's Day. Antonia "Toya" Carter confirmed that their daughter Reginae is not allowed to visit him in prison, where he's serving time on a gun conviction. Toya told VIBE that it was a decision she and her ex agreed on. "That's no place for a kid to go," she said. "[Wayne and I] just decided not to let her go, period. She's never been. He makes sure he talks to his daughter every day, talking and writing is enough." Reginae did write her dad a letter and took pictures for him for Father's Day, though. Toya is going to take them to Weezy the next time she visits.

Michelle Obama Steps Out

Did Hova Skip Out On A Bill

According to TMZ, the company claims Jay spent 18 hours flying in its planes in 2009 and - at $4,500 an hour - hasn't paid for any of them. The company also says Jay didn't pay for catering on 17 domestic flights and four international flights, as well as various international fees and taxes. They want $137,485.00 plus almost another $100,000 in damages.

The Lowdown for June 11, 2010

Was Drake Whooped?
Rihanna musta put that GOOD GOOD on Drake because he can’t seem to stop talking about her! He told the New York Times, "I was a pawn. You know what she was doing to me? She was doing exactly what I've done to so many women throughout my life, which is show them quality time, then disappear. I was like, wow, this feels terrible." Damn, Drizzy, get “Over” it already!

Gary Coleman's Ex Files New Will
This is just getting ridiculous! It’s like something out of a Lifetime movie! Gary Coleman's ex-wife Shannon Price has filed a new will in a Utah court, and not surprisingly, it leaves everything to her. It’s hand-written and dated September 4th, 2007. According to the alleged will, Coleman signed everything over to Price if he died! Mind you, it’s not signed! Price is also saying that she and Coleman were common-law husband and wife! Um, yeah, keep digging that hole…

Jada Puts Her Career on Hold to Help Willow
Jada Pinkett-Smith said she put aside her own music aspirations aside to help her daughter's singing career. Willow, Jada's 9-year-old, will be releasing an album soon.

And of course Willow's older brother Jaden is starring in the remake of The Karate Kid, which came out today!

Diddy's Done With The Lavish Lifestyle
First Timbaland is trying to make organic music, now Diddy says that he's so over his lavish lifestyle. "People have this perception of me - which is my fault - of maybe a rapper or champagne-sipping and Hamptons and white fur and just cliché type of things that are just kind of old and dated and corny, which isn't how I am today, you know?" Diddy says that the image he created is old and now he wants to change it. "You evolve," he explained to the L.A. Times. "Like, I need to retire my diamond necklace and fur jacket now. Things change. Times change." I’m wit it…as long as he doesn’t break out the shiny suit as replacement for the fur coat! Take That, Take That!

The Lowdown for June 9, 2010

Slim Thug Says Black Women Ain’t Shizz!
Slim Thug probably should think before he speaks. He told Vibe Magazine, “It’s hard to trust a black woman because a lot of Black women’s mind frame is that a man gotta do everything for her.” He also said, “My girl is Black and White; I guess the half White in her is where she still cooks and do all the stuff I say, so we make it.” Sound to me like Slim Thug is an idiot! Moving on to important people…

He was planning to perform over there, but that pesky felony assault conviction from last year is getting in the way. UK officials said, “We reserve the right to refuse entry to the U.K. to anyone guilty of a serious criminal offense!” Ouch! That’s gotta hurt!

The Low Down For June 1, 2010

Is Chris Brown Out Of Control?

Word is that Chris Brown's camp has completely given up on him! Everyone has abandoned him, including people at the record label. Insiders say he is like a runaway train and no one wants to get run over. A recent tweet from Breezy may support this claim. On May 24th, he tweeted, "I've never done it for the industry or approval of my peers. I do it for my fans."

Matt Barnes Got Something To Get Off His Chest

Now that the season is over, NBA star Matt Barnes, whose fiance Gloria is on Basketball Wives, went in on Shaunie O'neal and the rest of the basketball wives on Twitter! He told Shaunie that she should be ashamed of herself for having Gloria involved with all the cattiness from the other four women on the show. He also tweeted, "Seasons over I'm waitn 4 one of u bball groupies 2 say sumthen NOW!! No 1 would know any of u if u kept ur legs closed. B EZ tricks!!!" Ouch...that's gotta hurt!

Kanye West Takes Shots At SNL

Kanye West used his new single "Power," to take shots at Saturday Night Live, which Taylor Swift hosted after the whole MTV VMA debacle.

"F**k SNL and the whole cast
Tell 'em Yeezy said they can kiss my whole ass
More specifically, they can kiss my asshole
Iâm an a**hole? You n***as got jugs
You short - minded n*ggas’ thoughts is Napoleon
My furs is Mongolian, my ice, brought the Dodies in
Now I embody every characteristic of the egotistic
He know, he so, f**kin' gifted"



Ye has also joined other artists like Pitbull who have decided to boycott Arizona because of its immigration law. He said, "We are not going to play in Arizona. We are going to boycott Arizona." OK, I feel their sentiment with the whole boycott thing, but really, who are they hurting??? I don't think a lot the people that support the immigration law really care if Kanye or Pitbull comes to Arizona anyway...they are probably like good riddance! But it's a nice gesture!


Bey Bey Is Being Sued

Beyonce is being sued by Phillip Markowitz, an L.A. man, who alleges that she disturbed his peace with her video shoot for "Why Don't You Love Me." He wants Bey to pay up $25,000 for the inconvenience and loss of income! Ha! Sounds like a frivolous lawsuit to me!

Swizz Beats Cuts The Check

Swizz Beats has finally paid up! He supposedly owed his ex-wife Mashonda $334,000 in back child support. Dayum!! Meanwhile, Alicia Keys is planning her shotgun wedding to Swizzy!

Lil Mama's Drama

Lil Mama apparently crawled from whatever rock she was hiding under after the whole MTV VMA situation to shoot a video (for what I'm not sure). Anyway, she and her dancers allegedly destroyed some clothes borrowed from Metropark and Rock Revival. Word is that the clothes were either "stolen" or ruined! The producer plans on taking legal action!

Is Uncle Luke A Bad Dad?

Luther Campbell's daughter took to video to say her dad allegedly used to beat her mother and kicked her out at age 3! Dayum, those are some serious allegations!
