Ice "T” Revenge Plan...
Someone get Ice T some ice cubes, so he can finally cool down! I told you about him getting pulled over and arrested in NYC. Well, he claims it was because of an insurance lapse from 2008, and he recently told TMZ, "At the end of the day, after I get this dismissed...I either can sue the DMV or the insurance company... and that's when I have my revenge". Ok Ice, it's over, let it go!

Randy Jackson May Be Out Of A Job

Flo-Rida is Ridin' On!
Well, is it too soon for Flo-Rida to have moved on from Brandy? Apparently not! He has confirmed that he's "talking" to Eva "The Diva" Pigford. He said, "Yeah, I'm a lucky guy".



Young Buck; No Buck$
Well, Young Buck's not a lucky guy! His luck ran out yesterday morning when the repo men showed up to take his stuff! Armed Federal agents reportedly showed up to his house in Nashville to take his assets, since he owes $300,000 in back taxes. They took recording equipment, jewelry, furniture, his platinum plaques and his kids play station!! Damn Buck, that's really kinda sad.

Soulja Boy Stole Em'
Young Buck's not alone; another rapper is facing a legal problem! Soulja Boy is being sued by clothing designer Clement Brown Jr. who says Soulja Boy stole his company's T-shirt slogan for his own t-shirt!

The Lowdown for June 16, 2010

And the Award Goes To…BET's 2010 Lifetime Achiever
Prince will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 10th annual BET Awards on June 27th. BET said, "We have a different kind of tribute planned for him, as his unique style deserves a unique honor." Past winners include Whitney Houston, Earth, Wind and Fire, James Brown and The Isley Brothers. And of course I will have all the details LIVE from LA!

You’re Hired! TI Has A New Job
T.I. has announced that he's the new spokesman for Remy Martin cognac. He said that he was recently approached by the company and he obliged. Hmmm, I wonder if he and Ludacris (who has his own brand of cognac) will start beefin!! Lol, well, I’m just saying, everyone else is!

Forget Beef, Jay-Z Wants G.O.A.T. Meat
Speaking of beef…Jay-Z opened a can of worms and apparently he’s fishing for a G.O.A.T. In his Rolling Stone magazine cover story he took a shot at LL Cool J. He said, "We've seen people like LL have longevity, and we respect the heritage of what he's done, but it's not like, right now, he's competing on the same level as Lil' Wayne." And they’ve had problems in the past, so I smell something cooking!

The iPhone Gets So Icey
Gucci Mane has joined the ranks of Lil Jon and T-pain, receiving his own iPhone app. Users will be able to see exclusive videos and content from Gucci as well as hear his signature catch phrases - "Burr," "It's Gucci" and "What it do!" No release date has been set yet!

Drake Shuts Down NYC
Drake's performance last night in New York was shut down by the police due to overcrowding. Promoters expected 10,000 people, but nearly 20,000 showed up! Drake said, "I am humbled by the crowd that showed up in support of my performance... but unfortunately the show was canceled by the NYPD due to overcrowding, leaving me without the chance to give my fans a real show." Dayum Drizzy, they said so it BIG…but not that BIG!!

More Family Business For Brandy & Ray J?
Brandy and Ray J plan to develop a sitcom. Brandy said "Right now we're just focusing on the Ray J and Brandy movement -- as a team. It's always been our dream to be like the new Donny and Marie [Osmond]." And on top of that, they plan on recording an album together! Brandy says one thing she won't do is "a reality show about finding love. You can't find love -- love finds you." Too bad Ray-J didn’t share that same thought! The season finale of Family Business airs June 27th.

Eminem: I Was Hours From Death
While promoting his Recovery album Eminem has revealed just how bad his battle with drug addiction was. He said, "[I] was certainly a couple of hours away from death," saying that he overdosed and almost died. It was at that point that he realized he needed to admit to himself that he had a problem. "It took me awhile to admit I actually did have a problem," Em said. "In the hip-hop world that I live in, it can be mistaken for weakness and the last thing you want to do in hip-hop is admit that you're weak. But if I didn't admit I was weak with this certain thing I was going to die." His new album is due out June 21st!

Randy Jackson Rushed to the Hospital
Randy Jackson - MJ's brother, not the American Idol guy - is reportedly okay after being rushed to the hospital yesterday. A family rep says that Jackson was taken to a Pasadena hospital after he suffered chest pains. There's no word on how long he'll be there, but the rep said it was just a precautionary move.

Joe Jackson Takes It Back
Joe Jackson has taken back what he said about Katherine Jackson “killing” Michael Jackson! Katherine for the death of their son. After MJ’s death last June, Joe said, he told Katherine, "this would have never happened if you had went and been with him." Katherine's lawyer, lawyers for Michael Jackson's estate, and others came to Katherine's defense, so of course he had to clean it up! Joe took his comments back on Monday. He said "Katherine did not kill my son, she isn't at fault."

Who’s Yo Daddy: The Tiger Woods Edition
Just when you thought the “Lil Cheetah” saga was finished, here comes another shocking allegation! According to an upcoming documentary “Tiger Woods: The Rise and Fall”, Tiger has a secret 5-year old daughter with his former mistress, 48-year-old Theresa Rogers. The documentary claims that there is DNA evidence that will prove that…Tiger Woods…You are the father!

Snoop Granted UK Visa!
Good news for Snoopy D-o-double-g! He can finally return to the U.K. after being banned in 2006 for fighting at Heathrow Airport. Snoop officially won the long legal battle in February after senior immigration judges determined that Snoop played a "relatively minor" role in the Heathrow incident. Snoop’s headed back to the U.K. to perform at the Glastonbury Festival that starts on June 23rd.
