The Dirty Laundry for November 16, 2010

The Dirty Laundry




Kim K. & The Dream...Are They Dating?




Talk about sloppy seconds! Last night Kim Kardashian and The Dream were photographed sitting next to each other courtside at a basketball game, they even shared food from the same plate! Supposedly he’s helping her become an R&B singer…wonder how she’s paying The Dream for her tracks? Hmmm scandalous!

Mariah Carey Is Working On A Clothing Line
Speaking of scandalous, I’m pretty sure that’s what Mariah Carey’s maternity clothing line will look like! Mimi wants to design clothes for pregnant women, but judging from her personal style, that may not be a good idea!

Did Lil Wayne Violate His Probation?



Well it might not have been a good idea for Lil Wayne to hang out with Chris Brown courtside at a basketball game! Breezy pleaded to a felony assault in his case with Rihanna and Weezy is violating his probation by being around him.

Russell Simmons Open Letter To Kanye West

Russell Simmons has weighed in on the whole Kanye West/George Bush apology situation. In an open letter on his website Russ says:

"When you spoke about President Bush during the Katrina telethon, it was not the particulars of your words that mattered, it was the essence of a feeling of the insensitivity towards our communities that many of us have felt for far too long.

"It was the image of the President, our President... peering out the window of an airplane, as the people on the ground were drowning, that hurt us the most. For centuries, our people have relentlessly tread water as hard as they could to stay afloat, and here we were, literally drowning, and it felt like the President was insensitive.

"There is no need to apologise, Kanye. You spoke from your heart and that is all we will ever ask from you. Don't be afraid of the press, as your art is your blueprint... Keep on, Kanye. Keep on. We love you. We cherish you. And we will always have your back."


DMX Says F**k Jay-Z During A Performance

The Lowdown for August 12, 2010

The Dirty Laundry




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!

I’m Yasmin Young and that’s the Dirty Dirty, No Detergent baby! For even more tune in to The Morning Madhouse on Power 98!
