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!

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.

The Lowdown For July 1, 2010

Lloyd Clarifies His Statements About Chris Brown’s Performance
Lloyd has cleared up his comments regarding Chris Brown's performance on Sunday night's BET Awards. After a video surfaced after CB’s performance of Lloyd saying that he'd told Brown to cry, Lloyd released a statement saying, "I consider Chris a friend. He's been through a lot in the past couple years. I never told him to go on stage and cry. We spoke recently, and I told him as a friend that people hadn't really seen him be vulnerable about his situation last year [with Rihanna]. I thought he was holding back and needed to let that emotion out. Him crying at the BET Awards was real, I could feel it."

And real quick shameless plug: Lloyd will be at Summer Fest, along with Mystikal, Dorrough, and J. Cole…with more to be announced!

Jermaine Says Michael Would Not Be Happy About His Kids
Jermaine Jackson believes that his late brother Michael would not be happy if he knew about the new freedom his three kids have. Michael always wanted Prince, Paris and Blanket to stay out of the public eye, but now that they live with Katherine, they no longer wear veils in public and will even be attending school. "A lot of things he wouldn't like," Jermaine said to Hello! magazine. "He didn't want them to be all over the media, he wanted them to have a normal life, and it was hard with him so famous." However, Jermaine does believe that the changes are for the better. "They have to fit into society at some point, to become citizens... They're going to go to a private school with other kids and know what it's like to have a friend. Absolutely. It's the best for them."

Will.i.am's iPad Saved the Day
Will.i.am should be the next spokesman for the iPad. After someone stole $10,000 worth of goods out of his Bentley last week, will used his iPad's built-in tracking system, found the thief's location and forwarded it to the cops.

Suge "Disappointed" After Kanye Meeting!

Kanye reportedly didn’t say a word during the six hour negotiation. Suge Knight's lawyer, Marc Brumer, told Page Six: "He basically put his hands over his head and didn't say anything for six hours. He evidently doesn't know anything about anything, despite the fact that he hosted the party.”

Diddy told ContactMusic, "It's not just me finding someone to love, that's me loving someone back and being mature enough to sacrifice and not be selfish. I've always f***d love up. I think I've had love there, but I don't think I knew - and I still don't know if I do - how to handle it. Sometimes, when somebody is trying to give me love, I get uncomfortable. I'm not an easy person to love and that's the thing. I've never been able to achieve and conquer love."

Snoop's Camp "Astonished" By Dutch Ban!
Snoop Dog’s management team says they are “astonished” that the Snoop has been banned from performing at a free music festival in the Netherlands.

According to the alleged will, Coleman signed everything over to Price if he died! Mind you, it’s not signed! Price is also saying that she and Coleman were common-law husband and wife!

Diddy's Done With The Lavish Lifestyle
First Timbaland is trying to make organic music, now Diddy says that he's so over his lavish lifestyle. "People have this perception of me - which is my fault - of maybe a rapper or champagne-sipping and Hamptons and white fur and just cliché type of things that are just kind of old and dated and corny, which isn't how I am today, you know?" 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. Times change." I’m wit it…as long as he doesn’t break out the shiny suit as replacement for the fur coat! Take That, Take That!
