Chris Brown is now officially free to approach Rihanna. Chris returned to court yesterday where a judge kept his promise to reduce the restraining order that RiRi had against Breezy. Chris can now contact Rihanna as long as he doesn’t “harass, annoy or molest” her. RiRi wasn’t at the hearing, but her lawyer said she was all good with the restraining order.

She was scheduled to perform at his benefit for half a million dollars over the weekend, but “called in sick” so she could perform at the NBA All-Star Game! Trump called the “move disrespectful,” so he got Jennifer Hudson to fill in for RiRi and told “The Palm Beach Post” that “Nothing was missed. Jennifer’s a beautiful girl. She’s an unbelievable talent, and her voice is better.” Ouch RiRi!

Lil Wayne's New Baby Mama?


Ok, it’s official, Lil Wayne is definitely trying to start a basketball team! Mediatakeout.com is reporting that one of Weezy’s jump-offs; uh I mean girlfriends, is claiming that she’s pregnant! Log onto Facebook.com/Power98fm to see a pic of her and Weezy boo-ed up!

Khia's Washed Up Ass Disses Nicki Minaj
Wayne’s Young Money protégé Nicki Minaj has yet another hater to add to her list! This time it’s washed up Florida femcee, (if you can call her that), Khia! She trashed Nicki and her album “Pink Friday” on her website saying:

"This b**ch needs to be SHOT on site…It smells WORSER than the gas that’s coming out of my A** from all of the Turkey that I ate over the Thanksgiving weekend. Someone needs to give this B**CH a FLEET Enema and “FLUSH” her IMMEDIATELY. She is nothing but a “Ghostwritten,” Weezy-wannabe WHORE!"

Khia also attacks Nicki’s “Barbie” image and her business practices. Khia writes:

"I can’t believe I wasted my $13.99 on this BULL S**T, I told yall that it aint no damn Barbies in the hood. I can’t wait for Mattel to sue this b**tch for all of the $3.60 that she earned! When is this b**ch gonna learn that they stealing all of the money?"

Apparently, Khia’s got a problem wtith Foxy Brown as well because she closes her tirade against Nicky by stating:

"Nicki, please give Inga [Foxy Brown] the number to your plastic surgeon and your shrink while you are at! Maybe, you guys can tag team!"

Nelly Blasts His Record Label
Speaking of hate, Nelly is hating on his record label for hating on his latest album “5.0.” The album only sold 63,000 copies and instead of blaming his wack music, he’s blaming the label! He said “A record deal is a 50/50 partnership…if you only ship 200 thousand of an album how many are you f-ing trying to sell.” Sounds like Nelly’s career might be coming to an end!

Nelly wrote:

"A record deal is a 50/50 partnership! As a artist its your job to provide the record company with music that they can sell, Thing about the partnership is that n the public eye the responsibility is not 50/50! The artist is always the 1 who catches 90% of the blame… If u only ship 200 thousand of an album how many are u f#cking trying to sell? The artist doesnt control that nor does he or she control marketing."

Usher, Swizz Beatz, Justin Timberlake, Diddy and Jennifer Hudson Are All Dead

Jennifer Hudson says she’s finished! She's gone from a size 16 to a size 6, and she says done NOW! She recently told In Style magazine, "I don't want to lose any more weight and you're never going to see me skinny." I just saw a picture of her, and she looks great!

Live Where Michael Jackson Died
Speaking of millions...you can live like Michael Jackson for the discounted price of $28.9 million! The house where Michael Jackson died is for sale! The owner tried selling it in ‘08 for $38 million, but couldn't, so he let Mike stay there while he rehearsed for his "This is it" tour. So, for almost $30 million you can live where Michael Jackson died! Nice...

50 Cent Is a Crier and a Liar
Even though I like Fat Joe, I almost died laughing after I watched 50 Cent's latest video clowning his album sales. Now, I told you that 50 said he was done beefing with other rappers but that was obviously a lie! This fool is fake crying in the video! Check our twitter page @NLLMMH for the link to see it! It's funny...but wrong...but still funny!
