Oh the drama! NBA star Dwight Howard says he’s sick of his media-hungry baby’s mama, Royce Reed, talking trash about him, which is supposedly a violation of their court settlement. So now he’s suing her for 500 million dollars! Wonder who’s going to foot that bill…

Speaking of relationship drama, Kanye is at the center of a girl fight!! I told you earlier that Yeezy was dating Melody Thorton from the pussy cat dolls. Well, she reportedly wouldn’t go with Ye to New York Fashion Week because she found out his ex, Amber Rose, was going to be there!

Kanye Points Blame In His Mother’s Death
You would never believe who Yeezy says is responsible for his mother’s death. Donda West, died due to complications from extensive cosmetic surgery which aggravated her heart condition. And Ye blames that on the city of Los Angeles. He told XXL Magazine, "When I moved to LA, she moved to LA. And she wound up in a place that would eat her alive. Even if I stayed in New York, it wouldn't have been like that. If I had lived in New York, she'd still be here."

Movie Review: Takers

Whoooo! So I was blessed with the chance to see "Takers" last night before it hit theaters. I must say that I was impress with how good the movie actually was. The females are going love the movie because of the cast...believe me and my bro Travis were shaking our heads at some of the scenes. But hey if you're a female, Chris Brown, Idris Elba, TI, Michael Early and Paul Walker will deliver for you. Now, fellas all we got to look at is Zoe Saldana and she did an great job in the few scene she had.




Overall, it an action-packed movie! It remind me of an urban, more uptempo, "Ocean 11." TI and Chris Brown still need more work on the acting, but overall both did an good job. The cast was very well put together. It's going be a movie you can watch over and over again. I recommend "Takers" as a must see this weekend! It will be #1 at the box offices just off hype alone but it is a good movie. Lou Approve.

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.
