During his parole violation hearing, TIP apologized by saying, “I screwed up big time and I am sorry. I’m truly and sincerely sorry. I don’t want and don’t need to use drugs anymore. I want them out of my life!” The judge wasn’t having it! He said, “I think Mr. Harris had had about the limit of second chances.”

Kat Stacks Met Her Match



Speaking of second chances seems like Kat Stacks is running of lives! A couple of days ago in Indianapolis, Kat was apparently talking reckless and that didn’t sit too well with the natives. They let Kat know they weren’t feeling her by pelting her with Ciroc and Rose bottles. I’m not sure if it was the goons that hit her, but a couple guys were on twitter bragging about it!

Fab’s Being Sued Because Of His Goons
Well Fabolous’ goons allegedly got all out of pocket! He’s being sued for $85 million by a radio DJ in Philly who claims she was roughed up by one of Fab’s security guards back in 2004!

50 Cent Thinks We're Stupid

(Lloyd f. 50 Cent - Let's Get It In)

Speaking of Soulja, we could possibly be hearing more collabs between him and 50 Cent because according to Fiddy, we are not intelligent enough to comprehend some of the other tracks he recorded with Kanye West, Polow Da Don and Swizz Beats. He said he worked with them to see if they could provide him with a new creative direction, but he told Vibe Magazine that his fans "didn't want to hear anything that was so complex that they had to think about what I was actually saying to them." Yes, thanks Fiddy, you know sometimes it is tough to have to think about things!

Paul Wall Apologized...Kinda

Picture by TMZ.com

I told you yesterday about Paul Wall allegedly getting into a scuffle with a fan in San Antonio during a show, well now he's apologized. He didn't actually apologize to the man he got into it with, instead, he said he was sorry for getting distracted from his goal of putting on a great show.

Suge Knight And Kanye West Agree…To Disagree
Suge Knight is not necessarily the person that you want to disagree with, but Kanye West doesn’t care! Suge is suing Yes for more than $1 million dollars because Kanye hosted a party in Miami where Suge got shot in the leg. They held a mediation session yesterday, but couldn’t agree, so now they’ll most likely go to trial!

Wyclef Makes A Diss Record
Speaking of disagreements, Wyclef is on a rampage, now that the Electoral Committee in Haiti wouldn’t approve his bid for president. He just released a diss record called “Prison for the CEP.” How mature!



Mariah Finally Speaks On Baby Bump
Mrs. Mariah Carey has finally spoken about her growing stomach! She took to her website to address the rumors that she’s preggers. Based on her non answer, I would say she is TOTALLY knocked up! She wrote, “I appreciate everyone’s well wishes. But I am very superstitious. When the time is right, everyone will know.” News flash Mariah…we already know!



Fabolous “Pumping” Up New Beef
Fabolous also has some beef brewing…or should I say NEW beef brewing. He’s been going in on adult film star, Brian Pumper, on Twitter. He started a trending topic, #BrianPumperJewels, making fun of the chains Brian wears in his movies. Brian responded with the trending topic #FabScaredLike. Ok, maybe it’s just me, but who cares who wins this battle?!?

Nicki Minaj Explains Lauryn Hill Comparison
Nicki Minaj finally explained the statement Irv Gotti made, comparing her to Lauryn Hill. Everyone thought he was reaching on that comparison, but Nicki says, “Irv has been privy to hear things that I've done that the world hasn't heard. Based on the music I have out now, that sounds like an absurd comment, but when Pink Friday comes out, you will completely understand why Irv made that comparison.” Hmmm, yeah, I guess we’ll take your word on it Nicki! (Pink Friday is out November 23)



Call Him Professor Knowles
This fall, Beyonce’s pappy, Mathew Knowles, will be teaching a class about the entertainment industry at the Texas Southern University School of Communication in Houston.

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!

Mariah Carey IS pregnant!

MediaTakeOut.com told you nearly a month ago that R&B singer Mariah Carey was pregnant. Well now it's confirmed!!

Here's how our pals over at RadorOnline are reporting it:

a source close to Mariah and husband Nick Cannon tells RadarOnline.com the couple -- who renewed their vows to celebrate their second anniversary in May -- are at last with their first child.

“They’re both very excited and very happy,” dished our insider.


When contacted, Mariah’s longtime rep Cindi Berger gave RadarOnline.com a rather cryptic comment.

“I’m not at liberty to discuss Mariah’s personal life at this time,” the publicist told RadarOnline.com, a statement that did not outwardly deny the pregnancy.

Said our insider: “Mariah and Nick want to keep the pregnancy quiet as long as they can."
