Toni Braxton’s Debilitating Disease
Poor Toni Braxton! She went public earlier this week about her debilitating disease, Lupus! She said she kept it a secret because she thought people wouldn’t want to work with her. She said, “It was a tough decision to come out about it, but it was such a relief.” My heart goes out to her!

The Brits Ban Beyonce From Seeing Daylight


While Foxy is making sure her neighbor sees the moon, British TV censors want to make sure Beyonce doesn’t see the light of day! They say Bey Bey’s commercial for her new fragrance “Beyonce Heat” is too hot for TV…or daytime TV at least! The ad can only be shown after 7:30pm!

Jay-Z Talks "Decoded"
Beyonce might not be getting any love from the Brits, but her hubby Jay-Z is getting a lot of love and support of his book “Decoded,” which is in stores today! He stopped by the “Daily Show” last night to talk about the book, here he is:

Well one person that isn’t so excited about Kanye is Bill Maher! He was comparing Yeezy to former President Bush on his show “Real Time,” saying they should form a support group for “idiots with huge egos,” when someone in the audience heckled him for saying it. Well here’s what Bill had to say in response:

Brian You Are Not The Father!
Good news for Brian McKnight! He’s off the hook for over $300,00 in back child support. A Florida woman said he was the father of her 14 year old, but Brian took a DNA test and found out he’s not that baby’s pappy!

Lil Kim Has Issues With Everyone
Well it seems like Lil Kim has issues with almost every female rapper! But Eve said she and Kim were able to get passed their beef because of dogs!!

Young Buck: 50 Cent Ruined Me
Speaking of beef, Young Buck is accusing 50 Cent of destroying his career. Buck, who was dismissed from G-Unit in 2008, says 50 has done everything he can to keep buck from working. He said plenty of artists have reached out to him to collab but that 50 won’t approve it! Buck says 50 wants to destroy his life from a silent-sided way of doing things!

The Dream & Christina Milian Saga
I bet The Dream and Christina Milian will have some major beef soon! Christina just filed a legal response to the divorce papers that The Dream filed back in February. She wants the judge to throw out his papers because the relationship was not irretrievably broken, but was destroyed rather, by Dream’s cheating. She’s also claiming that the only reason she signed a settlement agreement that waived alimony or ownership rights is because she was 9 months pregnant and in no condition to be signing important documents!

Michael Jackson will be inducted into the Hall of Fame at the National Museum of Dance next month.

The Dream's Full Statement

Reps for The Dream sent the following message to MediaTakeOut.com - and asked us to post it. Here it is:

In My Own Words:
.
First I want to thank God for the trials of life, without them we can’t know purpose!
.
I would love to tell the truth as to why my relationship wasn’t successful, but today that is between me and Christina. Its easy to say that it’s because of another woman or a new relationship but truthfully, IT’S NOT.
.
I take FULL RESPONSIBILITY for misleading everyone into thinking everything was fine and okay when we knew problems existed for awhile! I wanted to speak up but we decided it wasn’t for anyone to know. I would NEVER intentionally hurt a soul and everyone around me knows that! There was so much going on in me and Christina’s personal world that I tried to deal with it as delicately as I could and tried to regain my footing. Instead of being direct in order not to cause even more hurt or hurt someone’s feelings, I carried the weight in secret!
.
I am Human and people fall in and out of Love all the time… This is Life. Nothing’s promised or perfect, neither am I. I am not proud that I lost something we once had…LOVE! I’ve always been a Loving Father, Hard Worker, Generous, Stern and Eager to prove myself. My faults are I can be irresponsible and an ass sometimes, but I HAVE NEVER and WILL NEVER be a malicious person or wish harm to anyone, especially those I love or the mother of my child. I’m sorry for the embarrassment to everyone involved! If there’s anyone to blame and you can’t fathom this happening, please blame me and me alone for not being upfront! Even though we were trying to overcome personal things between us, I was just simply scared and embarrassed to let everyone know we WERE FAILING and HAVE NOW FAILED!
.
This is not to justify anything, it’s true emotion! It’s a real thing that involves real people! I’ve cried about this for months, after interviews, after prayer and I’ve tried to take my own life at a point because of the failure that was looming.
.
But I was reminded by my MOTHER that I am not “Superman” and its okay to lose sometimes…
.
This too shall pass! And everything will be fine!
.

Rihanna Speaks Up!
Speaking of Battery, Rihanna is denying rumors that she reached out to Chris Brown after the BET Awards. Her people are saying the story is absolutely not true!

PETA Is Coming For Janet
One thing that is true is that Janet Jackson is the new face of fur manufacturer Black Glama. PETA, or the people for the ethical treatment of animals is pretty pissed! A PETA spokeswoman said..."It's amazing what celebrities will do when their careers are on a downside, but we didn't think that Janet was this desperate! WOW! Well, I personally think grown people should be able to dress themselves how they see fit...

Janet Jackson's BlackGlama Photoshoot


Christina Had A Dream
Speaking of grown folks, we know The Dream was doing grown folks things with his personal assistant and not his wife Christina Milian! Well, he's finally telling some of the truth about his separation. He issued a statement saying that he takes "full responsibility for misleading everyone into thinking everything was fine and ok when we knew problems misted for a while. And, Christina’s camp is on the offense, they said that The Dream was controlling and sabotaging her career! Mark my words, this is going to get ugly.

Christina Milian’s Dream Turns Into Nightmare
Whew, this right here is about to get ugly! Well I told you yesterday that pictures surfaced of The Dream all boo-ed up with his assistant and that his rep issued a statement saying they had been separated since late 2009. Well now clues have surfaced on Christina’s Twitter page that make a different statement! On June 29th, 2010, Milian asked followers to support Dream's new CD, Love King, saying, "Support my boo!" But after those pictures surfaced, her Tweets changed tones. On Monday she tweeted, "Whatever you think…believe it," and retweeted the statement, "I've officially lost my appetite." So I guess we weren’t the only ones that didn’t get the memo!



Are Will Smith & Jada Pinkett in Tom Cruise Control
Even though Will and Jada Pinkett Smith continually deny that they're Scientologists they are rumored to have attended a four-hour Scientology event with Tom Cruise over the weekend. Will has said in the past that he's not a Scientologist, just a student of religion. But I’m betting that they’ll be Scientologists within the next year!

Fans "Deface" Michael Jackson's Tomb
Even in death, Michael Jackson’s face needs some work! Well kinda…Authorities at Forest Lawn Cemetery are looking for people who have "defaced" Michael Jackson's tomb by writing things like, "Miss you sweet angel" and "Keep the dream alive."

Mary J. Blige is Being Sued
Mary J. Blige is being sued over her 2005 single "Take Me As I Am" by songwriters Jay Ballard and Kim Jones. They claim that Mary stole their 1995 song of the same name. Ballard and Jones want an accounting for all singles and albums sold, as well as royalties from income Blige and The Clutch received from using the track in any ads.

So, we shouldn't be shocked about the pictures that popped up yesterday of The Dream all boo-ed up with his personal assistant on the beach! Wait, since late 2009? Didn't they have a 2nd wedding in December and daughter in February of this year? I'm confused!?!



Tiger's Lawyer On The Attack

Battle of the Rap Barbies



Well there maybe a new Hip-Hop beef this time it’s the battle of the Barbies! Lil’ Kim supposedly took a subtle dig at Nikki Minaj during a show in Buffalo, New York! She threw her wig into the crowd and said, “I’m going to another level. I love the wigs and everything but I’m above this…I’ll be back.” And she told a blogger, “If you’re gonna swagger Jack someone’s style at least pay respect.” Drake fanned the flames by telling Nikki, “I don’t care what Lil’ Kim says; you are the baddest woman doin it right now!!!
