T.I. Gets 11 Months In Prison
Well if you’ve been under a rock and haven’t heard, T.I. got sentenced to 11 months in prison for his drug debacle in Los Angeles! 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!

Tyra Banks Is Being Sued
Speaking of being sued, Tyra Banks just got hit with a $3 million lawsuit by an Atlanta mother who claims her 15 year old daughter appeared on Tyra’s show without her permission. The girl appeared on a scandalous episode about teen sex addicts!

Nick Cannon Goes In On Chelsea Handler




It must be something in the Ciroc, cus everyone is BEEFIN! I guess he figured out he couldn’t beat Eminem, so now Nick Cannon is going after another White person! Nick was on Twitter talking greasy about Chelsea Handler, who has been rumored to be dating 50 Cent. Nick tweeted, “50 Cent wasn’t hitting Chelsea Handler they was just sharing testosterone tips.”

Is Monica Getting Married?



Finally, some news about lovin’ instead of hatin’! Monica may be getting married soon!! She’s only been dating NBA baller Shannon Brown for 4 months, but she recently tweeted about how she will make a good “wife” then she showed up to BET’s Black Girls Rock event with a Gi-normous rock on her left hand! POW!

Alicia Keys Dropped A Baby Boy
A huge congratulation is due to another R&B diva that just dropped her load! Yes Alicia Keys, who was as a big as a house finally delivered her son, Egypt, with Swizz Beats. She tweeted, “There is no word to properly describe love, to describe bliss, to express a feeling like this!!!”

Chelsea Says She’s Not That Type of Chick…Yet


Chelsea Handler is denying rumors that she is dating 50 Cent, even though they were spotted together, twice, in New Orleans. She tweeted, “Everyone, calm down. I met with Mr. Cent about a potential project. There's nothing to report yet, I'll let you know if there is."

Amber And Fabolous Deny Rumors


Chelsea isn’t the only one doing damage control! Amber Rose and Fabolous are denying rumors that she’s knocked up! Amber tweeted, “Whoa Lol I'm NOT Pregnant Please ppl the internet is 97% wrong ABOUT ME I'm not THAT girl they portray me to be.” And Fab chimed in also, saying "Despite the rumor, I didn't get anyone pregnant."

Is Christina Milian Dreaming Again?


Amber Rose might not be pregnant, but a very close family member of Christina Milian is saying that she is! The source said Christina made the announcement to her friends and family that she is indeed preggers with her second child! And yes, I know you’re wondering, it is supposedly by The Dream!

Chingy Denies Relationship Rumors


Speaking of dreaming, Chingy is saying that Sidney Star, the hip hop transsexual, should wake up from hers. Chingy is finally addressing rumors that he had a 2 year relationship with Sidney.

Toni Braxton’s Back In Court


I guess she didn’t learn the first time around! Toni Braxton is back in bankruptcy court (she previously filed bankruptcy back in 1998)! She claims she’s worth $10 million but has debts of $50 million. Also, earlier this year the IRS slapped her with an almost $400,000 lien!

Beanie Sigel Owes The IRS


At least Toni Braxton’s not alone! The IRS has been cracking down on celebrities who haven’t been paying their taxes and Philly rapper beanie Sigel is one of them! He’s been charged with tax fraud for allegedly not filing tax returns in 2002, 2003 and 2004, even though he made $1.5 million during that time.

Call Them Plastic Money Instead of Young Money


Maybe Toni and Beanie can get a couple debit cards from Young Money to help pay their bills. That’s right, Young Money is enterprising! They are gearing up to issue pre-paid debit cards. Mack Maine said retailers like Target will offer small discounts to shoppers who pay with their Young Money debit cards!

Alicia Keys And Swizz Beats Go African
In case you were wondering, according to Bossip, Alicia Keys and Swizz Beats will be having a son and plan on naming him Egypt!

Waka Flocka’s Not Dumb
Speaking of names, one name Waka Flocka says not to call him is “dumb.” Here he is talking about how smart he really is:

Is Amber Rose Preggers?


This is just scandalous!!! There’s a rumor out there that Amber Rose (Kanye’s ex) may be pregnant! And what’s even more shocking is who the supposed daddy is. No, it’s not Reggie Bush, but another rapper…Fabolous! MediaTakeOut is reporting that a source confirmed from them that she heard it straight out of the horse’s…I mean Amber’s mouth!

Is Kanye West Rekindling With Kimmy Cakes?

Drake Can’t Find Your Love

(Drake's Kodak Commercial)

Even though he’s only 23, Drake is ready to settle down. He told MTV, "I'm envious of friends of mine that have great committed relationships. When people call home to check on their girl or they say, 'I'm not going to go out tonight. I'm just going to spend the night with my girl.' That hits me, man. I just don't have that." He also said, contrary to popular belief, he doesn’t sleep with a lot of groupies, saying "I'm not going to be the one to drag my own name through the dirt. So to be with a different woman every night is a terrible decision."

Waka Flocka Got A Tutor


Speaking of terrible decisions, a student named Lalai at Emory University, who has a 4.0 GPA, just made one! She is apparently dating Waka Flocka!!! I don’t know what the flocka attracted her to him, but hey, maybe she can help him get that geometry degree!

First President…Now It’s Professor Wyclef?


Maybe while Waka is working on that geometry degree he can enroll in Wyclef’s class. Yep, that’s right, first president of Haiti and now professor! Wyclef Jean has yet another career change in mind, this time he’s joined the teaching staff at brown University as a visiting fellow in the African Studies department.

What Time Is It? It’s Swizz Time!


Forget Gucci time! Swizz Beats has teamed up with high-end watch-maker Audemars Piguet to create a line of watches!

New Music: Kanye West f.. Jay-Z, Pusha T, Rza, Swizz Beatz, Cyhi The Prynce - So Appalled

Another Good Friday winner right here! Kanye West has stepped up the level of music. I thhink G.O.O.D. music is finally getting the recongition it deserves. Even though Ye is still Ye, we cannot deny this man his credit! He has made Jigga step it up... back to the blueprint Hov. He has Pusha T in the public eye and all I got to say it is about time! This track right here is what I've been waiting to hear in this era of dancing music. It's time to get back to the music...not make a quick buck from music. So salute to all the real emcee's out there!!

S2S: Were you guys dating other people before he got with Alicia? Were you guys separated?

Mashonda: We were married. Sleeping in the same bed and having sex every night while he was seeing Alicia. Okay? It was an affair. 100 percent. I don’t know why people want to change that rule so much. We had just had a kid, for crying out loud. Our child was 8 months. I found out about Alicia two days before my son turned 1. They had been doing their thing for months before that.

She also said that she doesn’t want her son calling Alicia mommy or umi, the Arabic word for mother. She said that her 3-year old son told her that Alicia asked him to call her that! But Mashonda shut that down real quick! I feel you girl, I feel you!

Serena Is Trying To Hit…


Serena Williams wants to hit and I’m not talking about a tennis ball! Word is that she wants her people to introduce her to Drake! And you already know she has a thing for light-skinned rappers!!
