12 Tracks Completed For the New T-Wayne Album

The long-discussed T-Wayne album, pairing a now-rock-obsessed Lil Wayne and R&B hookmaster T-Pain, is still a priority despite being a work in progress, according to T-Pain.

“We got 12 songs right now,” Pain told MTV News. “We going slow; there’s no rush. It can come out whenever. We’re gonna keep it pushing, however. It’s gonna be pushed.”

The collaborative effort, first conceived last summer amidst success of the singles “Got Money” and then “Can’t Believe It, ” has been put on the back burner since the two stopped touring together during this past winter’s “I Am Music” tour.

“He’s sending me blank tracks, I’m sending him blank tracks,” T-Pain told MTV last year as the project was in its infancy. “He’s sending me tracks with hooks, I’m sending him tracks with hooks. It’s just our hectic schedules are keeping us from recording. … But we both have studios on the bus. So we take that tour bus anywhere we go — it’s a done deal.”

While there’s no timetable on a solo release from T-Pain, Weezy, on the other hand, will be the next to hit shelves with his rock Rebirth, pending further delays.

Dolla Immortalized on T-Pain's Chevy Chevelle

T-Pain honored Dolla by painting his image on the hood of his 1972 Chevy Chevelle.

Both artists were signed to Jive Records and collaborated on Dolla’s single “Who the F**k Is That?” The late 21-year-old rapper, who T-Pain called one of his best friends, was gunned down at the Beverly Center in Los Angeles last month.

“Showin my respects for my dog r.i.p. On the 72 chevy chevelle,” T-Pain tweeted.

Bryan ‘Baby’ Williams Sued Over ‘Birdman’ Royalties

Finnish business man Jari Kuosma has filed a lawsuit against Cash Money Records, demanding over $200,000 in owed royalties in connection with Bryan “Birdman” Williams’ partnership with Lugz, Inc.

Kuosma owns the trademark for the name “Birdman.”

His company, Birdman OY, Inc. – founded in Helsinki in 1999 and currently operating in Omaha, Nebraska – sells wing suits, skydiving apparel and equipment, and street wear inspired by the skydiving lifestyle.

The company’s website says it is “the most well-known skydiving brand and the leading wing suit manufacturer in the world.”

In early 2004, Kuosma granted a nonexclusive license to use the “Birdman” name for Baby’s Lugz footwear line.

In exchange, Kuosma was to receive 35% of the royalties paid to Cash Money for footwear sold.

The license agreement was terminated three years later when Kuosma decided he did not want to extend the terms of the license.

In February 2008, Cash Money Records and Lugz confirmed that the New Orleans-based label earned a total of $522, 835.40 in royalties.

Thus, Kuosma and his company were owed $217, 992.39.

On February 13, 2008 Kuosma and Cash Money settled on a payment arrangement whereby the defendant would receive his royalties in six monthly payments of $36, 332.05.

However, as of the filing of the lawsuit on Friday (May 29), not a single payment has been made.

Kuosma and his attorney’s have requested that the District Court of Douglas County, Nebraska grant him a judgment against Cash Money records in the amount of the owed royalties, “plus interest, costs and fees as allowed by law.”

The Lugz Birdman line has been discontinued for over a year.

Kendra Working the Pole.....

There was a time when seeing a stripper pole in someone’s home led to some pretty interesting discussions. But not any more.

Over the years stripper poles have been cropping up in the homes of women who probably never saw the inside of a strip club.

TV personality Kendra Wilkinson, whom you might know as one of Playboy magnate Hugh Hefner’s three girlfriends, has just taken up what will soon be the new celebrity exercise craze: working a pole!

Kendra recently had a pole installed in her home and she hired an instructor to teach her how to use it safely to tighten up her abs, forearms, upper body and legs. According to this post Kendra left on her blog yesterday, she is now working the pole with the best of them!

ive definitely hit the pole a time or two just for fun but wanted to learn the best ways to use it to get my body in smokin shape and look hottttt while doing it. i decided to take a professional lesson and had fitness instructor Estee Zakar come to my house to show me how to swing like a pro! its one of those things that people think they could never do but its a LOT easier than it looks…TRUST ME!!!!
this is one of the best ways to work out and at the same time get your significant other worked up…just ask hank lolololol.
tomorrow ill post a video from my lesson so you can get some pointers on how to master the pole!!!

Eminem and Bruno Staged that Stunt @ the MTV Awards

Oscar nominee Taraji P. Henson ended any and all speculation when she told USA Today that the most bizarre publicity stunt in television history (in my opinion) was indeed staged.

“That was staged!,” actress Taraji P. Henson, who helped introduce Eminem’s performance at the show, told USA Today. “Do you really think it wasn’t? They would not put a man’s naked (butt) in Eminem’s face and not let him know. Come on! They’re not stupid. When something crazy didn’t jump off, I was like, ‘Oh, OK! He knew!’




Life & Style reports that producer Mark Burnett cleared the prank with the rapper beforehand. Eminem was actually Burnett’s second choice after heiress Paris Hilton, who obviously declined to participate. [link]

If Taraji says it then I totally believe her because she’s so real! Case closed!

Rumor Report: Rihanna w/the Fake Boyfriends

It's painfully obvious that Rihanna is trying to pull a fast one on the press with all these fake "romances" that seem to be set up by her own people. First, she was linked with an ex boyfriend in Barbados, Negus Sealy, and that didn't pan out. The she ran into basketball player Andrew Bynum in a restaurant, introduced herself, and insisted on being photographed with him. Rumors of a romance were rampant until he admitted he was flattered, but barely knew her. Most recently she was linked to rapper Aubrey "Drake" Graham, and that rumor proved to be false too. Chris Brown's lawyer is currently plea bargaining with the prosecutor and hoping to avoid jail time for Chris's beating of Rihanna in February. Rihanna wants it to look like she's moved on and started dating other guys, when actually she is secretly still in love with Chris. We predict they will be back together as soon as Chris' case is finalized.

T.I.''s Farewell Concert Goes off in Style

Grammy award winning rapper T.I. told fans he would stay optimistic when he heads to prison on a federal weapons conviction, reports AP.

The 28-year-old rapper, whose real name is Clifford J. Harris Jr., performed for a packed audience Sunday night in Atlanta’s Philips Arena less than two days before he is to begin serving the sentence of a year and a day.

“I’m going to stand up tall, head up high,” he said. “Thank you for all of your support.”

Many in the packed crowd of about 16,000 people held up encouraging signs, like one reading “T.I. We Will Miss U!”

He must report by noon Tuesday to the Federal Correction Institution at Forrest City, Ark. He was arrested after prosecutors said he tried to buy unregistered machine guns and silencers from undercover federal agents in 2007.

During the concert, T.I. said he hoped that everyone learned from his mistakes. He brought his five children on stage, often holding one of them while he performed “No Matter What” — a single off the almost double-platinum album “Paper Trail.”

T.I., who won a Grammy for “Swagga Like Us,” also performed all his hits from “What You Know” to “Bring ‘Em Out” to his recent chart-topping singles “What Ever You Like” and “Live Your Life.” Teenage rapper Soulja Boy also joined him on stage.

“What I need y’all to do is pray for me while I’m gone,” he said. “I’ll see y’all in 366 days.”

Dolla Laid to Rest in Atlanta

Slain Konvict Muzik recording artist Dolla was buried in Atlanta Saturday afternoon (May 23) in a traditional Muslim ceremony, according to a friend of the young rapper.



Hundreds gathered at Word of Faith Love Center to pay their final respects to 21-year-old Roderick Anthony Burton Jr., affectionately called “Buck” by his friends and family.

In keeping with the Janazah ceremony used by the Muslim faith to pay homage to the dead, several friends and family were dressed in traditional white attire.

Dolla’s body was wrapped in a cream-colored sheet.

The funeral was held in keeping with Dolla’s wishes. His cousin, rapper Scrapp DeLeon, told Atlanta CBS affiliate WGCL-TV that Dolla once told him that he did not fear death and when it came he wanted people to wear white and celebrate his life.

Scrapp, born Wilbert Robinson, was with his cousin at the time of the shooting that took his life on May 18 at the Beverly Center.

Atlanta-area music promoter Aubrey Berry, 23, has been charged with Dolla’s murder and is currently being held on $5 million bond.

On Friday (May 22), fans, friends and family gathered at Murray Brothers Funeral Home in Atlanta for Dolla’s wake.

Among those present were his Konvict Muzik labelmate Ray Lavender, Smallville actor Sam Jones III, and O’neika El-Amin, who works closely with the Konvict family and had known Dolla since he was 16.

El-Amin told AllHipHop.com she was shocked by how beautiful the young man looked in preparation for his final resting place.

Marc Jacobs to Launch New Fragrance

After launching his best-selling fragrance Daisy, Marc Jacobs is releasing a new scent titled "Lola." I have his Daisy fragrance & I just love it, so I'm hoping I love this one as well.

“Where Daisy is more innocent and sweet, Lola is more sensual — the name conjures up a flirtatious, warm spirit,” said Marc Jacobs. “It was the first thing that came to my mind, and I was very insistent with Coty that this had to be the concept. It just felt natural in contrast to Daisy.” via WWD

Lola is set to release this fall & will launch exclusively first at Bloomingdale’s & Marc Jacobs stores in August, then in September it will hit about 2,200 department stores & specialty stores. In August there will be eau de parfum in two sizes — 1.7 oz. for $65 and 3.4 oz. for $85 — as well as a 5.1 oz. body lotion, $45, a 5.1-oz. shower gel, $40, & a 4.9-oz. body cream, $50, available. In November, a 1-oz. will join the permanent Lola collection, as will a limited edition solid perfume ring,$40. Just as with the Daisy bottle, he delivers once again with Lola's gorgeous bottle!

Violence Erupts @ Drake's House of Blues performance in ChiTown

A man was injured following a shooting after a Drake concert at House of Blues Chicago early Saturday (May 16) morning.

Reports indicated that a 21-year-old male was shot in the buttocks at approximately 4:00 AM, during which time over 1,000 fans were making their way out of the venue.

Witnesses at the show said Drake got on stage at around 3:00 AM and performed a 45-minute set, when multiple fights broke out in the club.

At that point, the concert-goers were ordered to leave the venue. Following this, an altercation outside of the venue lead to a shooting.

The victim was treated for the wound at Northwestern Hospital, while the gunman remains unknown.

Drake canceled an after-party appearance as a result of the violence.

Detectives are currently investigating, and no one was in custody as of Saturday evening.

Damn, he's everywhere guys I opened up my inbox and it was filled with Drake pictures and songs, sorry! But check out this video of Drake and the fight that erupts at his concert. Check out the scared look on his face as he sees all this happening.

Rumor Report: Twista Supposely has Pinky Pregnant

Twista addressed a report this week, clearing the air about rumors that he inpregnanted pornstar Pinky.

My hometown Chicago rapper, via a statement, said that he has never been sexually intimate with the adult film star, and the rumors are completely untrue.

“I want to inform everyone that not only is Pinky NOT PREGNANT by me, but I’ve never had any type of sexual encounters with her,” Twista said. “I ain’t mad at her, but thanks for promoting my new album, Category F5, which will be out in July.”

According to Twista’s rep, he’s happily in relationship, but did not reveal his significant other’s identity. The rapper chose to address the rumor because he doesn’t want to hurt his close family and friends, which he cherishes.

“I have the best fans ever and I ask that you respect them and my loved ones,” he said.

In other Twista news, he is gearing up for the release of his eighth studio album, Category F5. The album’s first single is “Wetter” [Watch video].

“The hustle never stops,” Twista said. “Over the last couple of years, I’ve just been thinking about what the fans want from me. And that was motivation enough to bring out another classic album.”

T.I. Heads to Prison

Only ten days remain until rapper must report to begin serving his federal prison sentence in connection to his October 2007 arrest for possession of firearms by a convicted felon. The Atlanta-based Grand Hustle/Atlantic recording artist has until noon on May 26 to surrender himself to federal authorities outside of Little Rock, Arkansas, where he will be serving the entirety of his sentence.

On March 27, in keeping with a plea agreement submitted in March 2008, T.I. was sentenced to serve one year and one day in a federal facility.

The rapper, born Clifford Harris, was also sentenced to pay a $100,300 fine, property forfeiture, supervised release for three years after he is released from prison, 365 days of home confinement and 1,500 hours of community service.

At the time of sentencing, he had already fulfilled 305 of home confinement and 1,030 hours of community service.

Poor Ciara.....

Ciara’s new CD (I forget the name of it) placed a disappointing 3rd in first week sales with only 80,990 units sold. Chrisette Michele’s stellar sophomore release Epiphany came in at #1 with 83, 060 copies sold.

All I can say is the mood in Ciara’s camp right now is not exactly upbeat.

We’re so proud of Chrisette! THe 26-year-old’s soulful album of love-gone-wrong ballads and upbeat tunes is solid and heartfelt. Chrisette’s Epiphany easily outpaced Ciara, who never really had a chance due to lack of radio play. I can’t say I’m sorry for Ciara because her attitude went South immediately after “Goodies” made her a household name. Now her name is toast.

Carmelo Anthony's Fiance Explodes in Stands

The blood-feud between the Dallas Mavericks and the Denver Nuggets is so nasty, Carmelo Anthony's fiance had to be escorted out of the stands in last night's game after an argument with opposing fans got way out of control.

While Melo unsuccessfully tried to lead his Nuggets to a victory in Dallas, his fiance, LaLa Vazquez, who is ironically a judge on VH1's "Charm School," got into it with some people sitting near her. In the video, shot by KDFW in Dallas, a visibly upset LaLa can be seen trying to throw something and then cussing at security as they tried to get her to leave.

If you haven't been following the NBA, both teams pretty much hate each other. A few nights ago, Mavs owner Mark Cuban made some kind of a comment to the mother of a Denver Nuggets star. He since admitted he was wrong and apologized, but you know how fans get ...

Obama, Cuts Funds For HBCU's

While perusing the Black Voices forums I ran across this little tidbit of information about Barack Hussein Obama cutting federal funding to historically black colleges. I’m not surprised. This is the same president who killed the DC private school voucher program that mainly benefitted black students from DC’s poorest neighborhoods.

I can’t wait to see the excuses the Kool Aid drinkers give for this indefensible action by the Obama administration.

Leaders of historically black colleges say they’ll fight a reduction in a federal program they call a financial lifeline at a time of economic distress for the schools and their students.

President Barack Obama’s education budget, unveiled Thursday, included major spending increases in many areas — but didn’t include an extra $85 million that black institutions have received annually for the past two years thanks to a 2007 change to the student loan laws.

That two-year-old program provided direct funds to federally recognized HBCUs — historically black colleges and universities.
Other direct federal support to the schools would increase from $238 million to $250 million, but with the expiration of the HBCU fund the schools effectively would see a $73 million cut.

A program supporting Native American tribal colleges would also see decreased funding, while one for institutions serving large numbers of Hispanic students would see an increase from $93 million to $98 million.

Education Department officials emphasized that all such institutions stand to gain from other parts of the budget, notably the proposed increase in the maximum Pell Grant for low-income students by $200 — to $5,550.

Diddy Punches Out Paparazzi

Dallas Based Super Producers Play-N-Skillz May Sue Lil Wayne

Play-N-Skillz don’t want to sue the biggest rapper on Earth, but they have yet to receive any monies for their work on Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter III.

Play-N-Skillz produced “Got Money,” which was the third official single from Lil Wayne’s acclaimed sixth studio album.

The song featured T-Pain and peaked at No. 4 on the iTunes Top 100 and No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100.

“We haven’t gotten any compensation. We really didn’t want to speak on anything like that, just because of our relationship with Pain and Wayne. We’re more thankful for the opportunity to be on Tha Carter III, but business is business at the end of the day,” Skillz told AllHipHop.com at Sha Money XL’s One Stop Shop producers conference over this past weekend.

Skillz, one half of the production hit squad, continued, “now it is coming to where we have to put our business hat on. We had the producer and the creative hat on, but now we wanna know what’s going on.”

“Got Money” was originally for Pitbull’s album, Play said, but it was submitted a mere two days too late for inclusion on the Miami artist’s album.

“So, by the time he sent it back, T-Pain was on the hook. T-Pain had made it happen,” Play continued. “This just goes to show, where technology is going,” Skillz explained. “We had never even met Wayne. He’s in there and with us being from the South, we had seen him here and there, but that was the first time we had actually worked with him. But we didn’t actually go into the studio and work with him. Everything was third person.”

The song made the rounds and soon there was talk that the song could be going to the next level.

“Pain’s people reached out to us and they said there was a big rapper that wanted to rap on it. We wanted to know who the hell it was,” Play continued. “They said it was Wayne, they sent the files back, we changed the music on it, rearranged it and the rest is history.”

How the future plays out is unclear, but both Play and Skillz want to resolve things amicably so that all parties can continue to make music.

“We think the legal issues will be taken care of. It might not even be on his radar. A lot of people fail to realize, the artist might not even know. I’m sure that Wayne doesn’t even know or Pain doesn’t even know,” Skillz said. “It could be Universal Records, but somebody has to come with it. Give us our change, man…we need that. We got expensive tastes, baby. We’re going to continue to work and hopefully it doesn’t tarnish the relationship,” Play said. “But, if you don’t handle your business, nothing you do makes sense anyway.”

Irv Gotti Says He’s Dropping Ashanti From The Inc.

Irv Gotti says he and Ashanti, the Princess of the Inc., will soon be parting company. He said they haven’t been on speaking terms for some time, and the label head/reality-TV star says there’s nothing he can do but end their musical and business affiliation.

“The relationship has run its course,” Gotti explained earlier this week while visiting the MTV offices. “The chemistry of what’s needed — we’re in two totally different places. You’re talking to somebody that took her and shaped and molded her and put her out there for the world, and it blew up. We [hold the record] for the [fastest] selling debut by a female R&B artist — 503 [thousand]. We did it! My views and philosophies and her views and philosophies are not meeting up.”

Ashanti’s last LP, The Declaration — her first in four years — came out in June of last year on the Inc. and was created with virtually no input from Gotti. The album was her first in-studio project not to go platinum. Gotti says it’s because the singer deviated from their winning formula and tag-team effort.

“I personally believe for her to be successful, it took the energy … when you seen her, it was 30 n—as around her, and she’s the princess so nice and pretty walking through,” he said. “The music was great, but it was the energy that was created. It wasn’t just her standing there and singing a song.

“We don’t really speak or talk or anything like that,” he continued. “It’s sad in a way. But in another, it’s like it’s all good.”

Well, maybe not that good. Gotti said it is best for them to part ways.

“I don’t think she can win. She needs some guidance with that,” Gotti added. “But she’s not thinking like that. Really, I couldn’t tell you what she’s thinking. So that relationship has run its course and honestly, I’m gonna just drop her.”

At press time, a rep for Ashanti had not granted MTV News’ requests for comment.

Gotti told MTV News that he’s maintained the rights to all of his artists, including Ashanti, Lloyd and of course Ja Rule. The exec says he’s working on a deal to reunite with his fellow Def Jam alumni Lyor Cohen, Kevin Liles and Julie Greenwald over at the Warner Music Group. He says new albums by Lloyd, new rapper Newz and Rule are in the cooker. He explains the delay of Rule’s The Mirror is because they are trying to craft a classic LP.

Just Let him Be.....

According to online reports, Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson recently proposed to her fiance, David “Punk” Otunga, and presented him with a personally designed 5-carat Neil Lane engagement ring worth more than you and I make in a year.

The problem with this news is twofold: first, Punk already proposed to Jennifer 5 months ago; and second, her actions smacks of desperation.

It is never romantic for a woman to reverse the man’s role. Punk has already proposed to Jennifer. So now she needs to concentrate on planning her upcoming nuptials with the help of her sistah girls — instead of buying him expensive trinkets and making a grand show of proposing to him.

Ladies, play your role. Stay in your lane. YOU be the woman and let HIM be the man. The problem with black women today is that we’ve reversed the roles by raising our boys to be bitches instead of men. We coddle these boys, look the other way when they’re bad, and encourage their total disrespect towards other women because of our own self-hate issues.

The only way I can co-sign J-Hud’s behavior is if she knows her fiance is on the down low, and she wants to treat him like the queen that he is — then this would all make sense. Otherwise, her behavior is all wrong and reflects the wrong image of strong black men.

Man who robbed Eddie Curry and Antonie Walker, Finally in Prison!!

CHICAGO (AP)—A Chicago man ordered to serve 21 years in prison for robbing NBA star Antoine Walker(notes) has been sentenced to another 21 years for holding up the New York Knicks’ Eddy Curry(notes).

Cook County State’s Attorney spokeswoman Tandra Simonton says Antoine Larkins will serve the two sentences concurrently.

The 30-year-old Larkins and 27-year-old Demorris Hill were charged with robbing Curry after police apprehended the two in the July 9, 2007, holdup of Walker at his Chicago home. Larkins was sentenced in the Walker case on Tuesday.
Larkins pleaded guilty to breaking into Curry’s home in the Chicago suburb of Burr Ridge on July 28, 2007. Police say intruders interrogated Curry’s wife about the location of valuables.

DRAKE's collaboration with JayZ

Tornoto's own DRAKE continues to get a lot of press.

Drake recently talked to DJ Semtex about his new rumored collaboration with Jay-Z. Drake confirmed the track, saying that Just Blaze produced it, saying “I’ve been blessed enough to work with Jay in the last couple weeks and I mean people are just gonna have to wait, you’ll have to see what comes of it.”

Not giving much more details, Drake did say working with Jigga was “the most key moment in my life.”

VIBE Magazine is Broke........

According to inside sources, Vibe Magazine is almost on the way out.

Vibe’s long-run in the game looks to be coming to an end. Sales and subscriptions have been at an all-time low for the past couple of months.

Vibe Magazine used to be a staple in the hip hop community, but ever since Editor-in-Chief Danyel Smith took over, the ship has been slowly sinking. I think we could say that she is single handedly responsible for Vibe Magazine falling apart.

Recently, a story was published in Vibe which listed the Top 50 Hip Hop Blogs out today. If you look at their list, it’s clear to see that Vibe has NO CLUE what the kids are looking at. Ever since Danyel took over it seems like Vibe is detached with what’s going on in the entertainment world. A magazine that started out as something that hip-hop fans could be proud of has quickly turned into a magazine hip hop fans are ashamed of.

It’s a sad day when Vibe Magazine has approximately 130 pages and 70 of those pages are advertisements.

Nude photos of the 22-year-old singer Cassie (Bad Boy’s New Recording Artist) leaked to the web Wednesday (May 6), and quickly spread to numerous internet blogs.
.
The pics show Cassie topless , laying on a bad with her nipple piercings exposed. They were taken more than a month ago, before she started popping up in public with a shaved head.
.
While some questioned the authenticity of the photos, Cassie confirmed they are real, when she addressed the leak via her Twitter profile.
.
“IT SEEMS THAT SOMEONE HAS HACKED INTO MY COMPUTER … THAT’S REAL FOUL AND EVIL. NOW STOP ACTING LIKE YOU HAVEN’T SEEN A TITTY BEFORE,” Cassie wrote.
.
Some bloggers seem to feel the leak was done internally as a way to help boost her music career, giving her widespread publicity.
.
In an official statement, released Thursday (May 7), the singer brushed off the leak, saying people need to grow up and move on.
.
“The recent personal pictures that have been leaked on the internet of me were hacked and stolen out of my computer,” the statement read. “These photos were obviously never intended for the world to see and it’s sad that people would really take time to steal and post them, it’s just evil.
.
“At the end of the day breasts are breasts, mine weren’t the first you’ve seen and they won’t be the last … people need to grow up, let’s move on,” she continued.
.
Cassie broke onto the scene in 2006 with her hit single, “Me & U,” but hasn’t fair well, musically, since. She released the buzz single, “Official Girl,” in late 2008, but her sophomore album Electro Love has yet to see a release date.

OMG, is all I can say, but at least she keeps it real with everything that she does, unlike alot of people in the industry.

New Music: Twista

Check out this new song from Twista, reppin my hometown of Chicago! I'm don't really know how I should feel about this song. It reminds me of his song "Get it Wet", nothings original about this at all.

Is Alfamega a DEA Snitch??

In response to the recent outing of Grand Hustle rapper Alfamega as a DEA informant by The Smoking Gun, label head and “King of the South” T.I. plans to address the media “soon,” according to DJ Drama in an interview with XXLMag.com last night (May 6).

“I spoke to Tip about it and Tip is definitely preparing to speak to the media about the situation,” Drama told XXL. “And as boss man, I would definitely honor him to make a statement before I make a statement, but there’s definitely a consensus among [Grand Hustle].”

Though The Smoking Gun has been known to invade the private lives of rappers — also outing Rick Ross as a corrections officer last year —Drama remains understandable of the intrusions in the name of authenticity.

“When you put yourself as a public figure and you put yourself out there to represent one thing and it comes out that you represent the opposite, the public has the right to be aware of that,” said Drama. “We all know hip-hop is about being true to yourself and being true to your name. Ice Cube said it long time ago — it’s about being real with yourself whoever you may be.”

Ramirez’s substance a sexual enhancer

LOS ANGELES – A source close to Manny Ramirez(notes) said Thursday that the illegal substance for which the Los Angeles Dodgers slugger tested positive was not “an agent customarily used for performance enhancing.”

At least not on the baseball diamond. The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the substance is supposed to boost sex drive.

Two sources said Ramirez tested positive for a gonadotropin. Major League baseball’s list of banned substances includes the gonadotropins LH and HCG, which are most commonly used by women as fertility drugs. They also can be used to trigger testosterone production. Testosterone is depleted by steroid use, which can cause sexual dysfunction.

“Testosterone and similar drugs are effective for erectile dysfunction in that they jazz up your sex drive,” said Charles Yesalis, a professor at Penn State who has testified before Congress on issues of performance-enhancing drugs. “But far more clinicians accept that affect with Viagra and Cialis. It’s hard for me to understand if it was erectile dysfunction why they would use it.”


Ramirez tested positive for the substance during spring training, then was administered a second test more recently, and it also was positive. Major League Baseball notified Ramirez of the second positive test after Wednesday night’s Dodgers victory over the Washington Nationals. Ramirez admitted to having taken the substance and declined to appeal. His 50-game suspension begins today.

“The substance is not a steroid and it is not human-growth hormone,” the source said.

Ramirez, the source said, acquired the substance through a prescription from a doctor in Miami for his medical condition. The source intimated that Ramirez might bring legal action against the physician.

Ramirez released the following statement Thursday morning: “Recently I saw a physician for a personal health issue. He gave me a medication, not a steroid, which he thought was okay to give me. Unfortunately, the medication was banned under our drug policy. Under the policy that mistake is now my responsibility. I have been advised not to say anything more for now. I do want to say one other thing; I’ve taken and passed about 15 drug tests over the past five seasons.

The Dodgers, who have won a Major League record 13 consecutive home games to start the season, will be without Ramirez until July 3. Outfielder Xavier Paul was promoted from triple-A to take Ramirez’s place on the roster. The suspension will cost Ramirez close to $8 million in lost wages.


Drugs or hormones that increase testosterone production often show up on banned lists.

Wolverine's Ryan Reynolds Dives In for Deadpool Spinoff

It's official: The mutants are taking over Hollywood. And we're not talking about the freaks running the studios.

Following the monster weekend for X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and a day after announcing that a Hugh Jackman-powered sequel is in the works, 20th Century Fox has confirmed to E! News that Jackman's costar Ryan Reynolds will be given his own spinoff and potential franchise-launcher as the Marvel Comics antihero Deadpool.

The 32-year-old Canadian actor, otherwise known as Mr. Scarlett Johansson, will again star as Wade Wilson, a wisecracking, cancer-stricken mercenary who's cured of the disease after undergoing the same Weapon X genetic alteration as Wolverine.

But along with superhuman powers, enhanced strength and self-regenerating healing powers, the slightly unhinged Deadpool can absorb the abilities of dead and captured mutants.

Aside from Deadpool and the Wolverine sequel, Fox is also working on an X-Men spinoff focusing on Ian McKellen's villainous Magneto and another dubbed X-Men: First Class, which is being written by The O.C. creator Josh Schwartz.

Kid Cudi Talks about Getting Snubbed for his Album

Kid Cudi recently spoke on what fans could expect from his forthcoming debut album Man on the Moon: The Guardian and admitted to being turned down for features by rappers including Andre 3000.

Writing via his blog, Cudi confirmed his album’s limited feature list and a change he has decided to make as a result.

“I only have three features for my album which is my big homie Snoop [Dogg,] Kanye [West,] and Common,” he wrote unmodified. “The other two artists I asked so far to be on my album: Lily Allen and Andre 3000, have declined my request for a collab. It made me realize though, do I really wanna go in on features? Sure I like these artists but this first album needs to be about what I can do…Ultimately, this does change the theme of the album now so the subtitle will not be called ‘The Guardians’…I got a couple ideas for the new subtitle.”

Scheduled to drop this August, Cudi was reportedly recording tracks with a star-studded line-up of producers.

Cudi currently has been in the studio with Travis Barker, Ryan Leslie, will.i.am, Swizz Beatz and Just Blaze in a bid to finish his debut album. Cudi’s project will likely feature production from labelhead boss Kanye West. The record, which will include hit single “Day ‘N’ Nite”, is said to be put forward for purchase across America on August 25.

He officially signed to Universal Motown last month, joining forces with labelmates Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes.

“Kid Cudi is at the vanguard of a game-changing new generation of artists,” Universal Motown President Sylvia Rhone said in a statement. “He crosses musical boundaries with an appeal that goes beyond genre, format, race, language, and culture. Cudi lives easily in the hip-hop, indie rock, pop, and R&B worlds…He is a breath of fresh air - a dynamic and important new voice, not only in the next phase of hip-hop, but as a groundbreaking trendsetter who represents the future. I am thrilled to welcome Kid Cudi into the Universal Motown family.”

He is currently billed to perform alongside Weezy in London this summer.

Adding a second performance to his touring plans after his first July 6th show reportedly sold-out for London’s HMV Hammersmith Apollo venue, Wayne is now slated to perform the following day, July 7th, at the popular location with Kid Cudi billed for the first showcase.

Rick Ross Loses #1 Spot On Charts, Mike Jones Pushes 25K In First Week!!

After one of the most highly anticipated showdowns of the year went down last Wednesday (April 22) between Rick Ross and Asher Roth, the Billboard 200 has cooled down, with only two new rap releases from Mike Jones and Tech N9ne making it onto the charts.

While only dropping 4 spots from last week’s no. 1 spot, Rickey Ross took an expected hit this week. Falling 68% in sales, Deeper Than Rap sold 51,100 discs in his second week, bringing his total figures to 209, 200 according to Nielsen’s SoundScan.

Entering the charts at no. 12 is Houston rapper Mike Jones with his long delayed sophomore album, The Voice. The album, which follows up 2005’s Who Is Mike Jones?, was picked up by 24,800 fans in his debut week.

Suburban sensation Asher Roth is right behind Jones at no. 14 with Asleep In the Bread Aisle. The PA native’s stats fell 65% in his follow up week on the charts, moving 23,100 units. After two weeks Roth has an overall number of 88,600 albums sold.

Slipping 10 spots to number 20 this go-around is Yonkers rep Jadakiss. Fans of the Def Jam MC walked out of the stores with 20,100 more Last Kiss CDs this week, bringing Jada’s total tally to 230,200 after a month on the charts.

Debuting at no. 23 is indie rapper Tech N9ne with his latest album Sickology 101. The Midwestern artist, - who has been in the game for over a decade - sold 18,200 copies of his 8th disc.

Ten slots down is Flo Rida with his second album, R.O.O.T.S. The pop friendly rapper added 14,300 units to his grand total, which now stands at 137,000 after 5 weeks on the charts.

With a slew of indie releases that came out yesterday by the likes of Three 6 Mafia’s DJ Paul, Bubba Sparxxx, Little Brother rapper Big Pooh and a tribute to Ol’ Dirty Bastard, among others, it will be interesting to see who makes the charts next week.

What Really Happened @ Death Row Records

Rumors of what really went on at Death Row Records in the early 90’s have recently been popping up all over the internet.

I know a lot of people will probably get their feelings hurt by this, especially all the west coast fam that visits the site, but it is an interesting topic. Supposedly, the following is a collection of random information about those who were involved with the West Coast label back in the 1990’s. It came from an unidentified source, but it looks like they had beef with more than just Suge Knight:

Okay here’s what I know about Death Row and those loosely affiliated with them. I ain’t got time to write no essay so it’ll be in random blurbs. Don’t know if it’s all true but it’s what I got. Fuck u Suge I got somebody for u.

The beef with Suge and Dre started when Suge allegedly tried to get at Michel’le. He was determined to pull Dre’s hoe card and eventually he did. Dre used to dog the shit out of Michelle, so much so her mother hated (and still hates) his fuckin’ guts. Suge was actually digging Michelle despite her annoying ass voice so he was determined to get her.

Ricky Harris who is also Snoop and Daz’s cousin is a crazy manic ass drunk. He has issues with his hands like Dre and is a lousy father.

Tupac punched Snoop in the stomach after an incident in which Snoop chose to go against the grain. I cannot remember what the exact beef was but Snoop ended up bowled over in tears holding his damn stomach.

Daz is the one of few who was not scared of Suge. He did a lot of the production on Pac’s All Eyez on Me Album but didn’t get the credit which is why he was able to get his $25 million. When he had his meeting with Suge about money and Suge threatened him Daz was pretty much like lock the door and it’s whatever. Kurupt was scared as a bitch. Pussy.

Kurupt and Inga (Foxy) were in love–well him moreso than her and he was ready to get married but Foxy started digging on DMX who was trying to fuck everything moving and eventually she went astray and hit that.

Two of Daz’s baby mama’s got into a fight over him behind him still fucking one of them supposedly. No I don’t know names.

Dre is a homo, he is a quiet homo but home nonetheless. He has a kept lover and has had him for some years. He also beats the shit out of his why and loves to keep her in the house like a prisoner. He has paid police off to keep from going to jail when she calls 911. He beat her so bad one time, she contemplated leaving but she knew her life would not be as good without the $300 million dollar man.

No one in Eazy E’s circle believes he died of AIDS. Many insist he was injected with it somehow prior to checking himself into the hospital.

Ice Cube’s wife Kim left her first BD, I forget if they were married or not who had her set up in a house when he went to Desert Storm back in the day while she took care of their son. She met Cube however and basically chose the M.O.M.B. (Money Over Military Benefits) and started fucking with Cube. She whipped it on him to but it didn’t stop him from trying to move his mistress down the street from them in their neighborhood.

Despite his brawn and insane behavior, Suge is quite the man in bed with a nice size “instrument”. He likes small women and sit them on his face to eat the pussy until they can take the dick. No knowledge of homo behavior and i don’t get that vibe from him despite rumor and speculation.

Suge also had Harry-O (Michael Harris) beat in prison. So bad that he was in a wheelchair and Suge threatened to kill him. The only thing is, if Suge does that he will have another set of problems to deal with via some of Michael’s connections. Lydia Harris will never see a dime of that money she won. Suge is FEARED by a lot of folks in L.A. but he is not a true gangsta in the gangsta sense. However, he has no problem getting rid of people who stand in his way and in that regard he is a force not to be fucked with. But if you’re cool with him he is a teddy bear! Go figure.

Michel’le is also quite comfortable financially. Suge takes care of her in that regard and dotes on their daughter and son. I wanna say there’s one more kid but I’m not sure. He is a very good father and loves spending time with his kids.

Michel’le was also deeply in love with Dre when she recorded her first album. But Dre was abusive, as most F8$k boys are so that’s where her family’s despise of him comes to play. Her mother will still tell you she hates his guts to this day.

Snoop, Daz, Brandy, and Ray J are all second cousins.

Snoop’s real last name isn’t Broadus, his mother had an affair with Snoop’s real father while Mr. Broadus was away in the military and blamed the baby on him. Only within the last several years did she come clean.

Shante Broadus has always been homely, ghetto, and fashion-challenged. She purposely talks like she’s constipated because she thinks it’s cute…She will never be more than what she is because her mind is not that advanced.

OMG, is all I can say....reading this article was an EyeOpener at it's BEST! Why is this all just coming to past now. I also wonder, does this article have any real Truth? What do you think?

Halle Takes on The Paps with Baby Nahla

The paparazzi better not mess with Halle Berry and her baby Nahla!

Rachpoot/INFphoto.com Halle Berry and her beautiful daughter Nahla enjoyed lunch at Barefoot in Los Angeles over the weekend ... until they were ready to leave and were greeted by a throng of photographers. Understandably, Halle was not happy, and asked the paparazzi to back up and give her baby girl some space! Fortunately, little Nahla seemed unfazed by situation and continued to play with a pair of sunglasses while her mom faced off with the photogs.

After making it safely back to their car, the mother-daughter duo went shopping at the Century City mall. Halle looked hot in a pair of dark jeans, a simple gray tank, and trendy fringed sandals, but I'm not sure about her highlighted cropped coif, which is slightly reminiscent of the 'do she sported back in her "Boomerang" days.

Rihanna returns to the Red Carpet!!

Rihanna made a triumphant return to the red carpet at last night's Costume Institute Gala at NYC's Metropolitan Museum of Art following her recent tabloid trauma with Chris Brown. Unfortunately, her Dolce & Gabbana cropped pant suit was a complete disaster.

Ok, I kinda like the outfit, but they really shouldn't have put this on her!!This isnt a good look, but since I'm not her stylist I don't have too much to say...right. Love the hair, though

Relatives grieve for Texas woman with flu who died

HARLINGEN, Texas – This week should have been a joyous time for Judy Trunnell, a 33-year-old schoolteacher who had just given birth to a healthy baby girl.

But the friends and relatives whose cars lined the quiet street in front of her home in a quiet subdivision Tuesday instead were mourning her, the first American with swine flu to die.

"We're grieving now," said a woman with tear-streaked eyes who declined to give her name.

In Maryland, her cousin told WMAR-TV in Baltimore that Trunnell had died after spending two weeks in the hospital. She slipped into a coma, and her baby was delivered by Cesarean section, Mario Zamora said.

"She was just a beautiful person, warm at heart. She worked with disabled children as a teacher," Zamora said. "Those that knew her will always remember her."

Texas health officials stopped short of saying that swine flu caused Trunnell's death. State health department spokeswoman Carrie Williams said the schoolteacher had "chronic underlying health conditions" but wouldn't give any more details.

She died early Tuesday after being hospitalized since April 19, said Leonel Lopez, Cameron County epidemiologist.

Trunnell's death came as life in the areas hardest hit by the outbreak began returning to normal. In Mexico, where the current strain is thought to have originated, stores, restaurants and factories were officially allowed to reopen Tuesday. And U.S. health officials withdrew their recommendation that schools with suspected swine flu cases shut down for two weeks.

The only other swine flu death in the U.S. was that of a Mexico City toddler who also had other health problems and had been visiting relatives in Brownsville, near Harlingen. He died last week at a Houston children's hospital.

There have been 29 other confirmed swine flu deaths, all in Mexico. Hundreds of cases of the disease have been confirmed in several countries, but mostly in Mexico and the U.S.

Trunnell was from Harlingen, a city of about 63,000 near the U.S.-Mexico border, and taught in the Mercedes Independent School District about 15 miles west of her hometown.

She was first seen by a physician April 14 and was hospitalized on the April 19. Zamora said she had complained of difficulty breathing and was put on life support.

Doctors knew she had a flu when she came in, but did not know what kind, Lopez said. The area is undergoing a Type A influenza epidemic right now, and swine flu is one variety of that, he said. She was confirmed to have swine flu shortly before she died, he said.

Dr. Joseph McCormick, regional dean of the University of Texas School of Public Health's Brownsville campus, said the woman was extremely ill when she was hospitalized.

Mercedes school district officials announced that it would close its schools for the rest of the week and reopen Monday.

Dating 101: First-Date Red Flags

I was reading this article on yahoo earlier today that was talking about first date red flags that let you know this is not gonna go anywhere. I did agree with alot of what the article had to say. it gave 4 of the top lies that most men say on first dates. For instance one of the statements was " I've never had a serious girlfriend", which is possible in this world, but here is what they said,"Sure, it's possible that he's never had a bona fide better half, but chances are, there's an ulterior motive here. It could be a sly way of admitting he can't commit. "When I was in my early 20s, I was only interested in hooking up," says Matt, 31. "Even though I had a long-term girlfriend in high school, I always downplayed my commitment capacity so girls wouldn't get attached." On the brighter side, he might be trying to pique your interest with a covert challenge. Don't you want to be the one girl a guy can't resist falling for?".

Yep, and it's lies like that, that get us involved with men who have no chance of commitment, EVER!
Hopefully we women are stronger now where we don't fall for bull like that!!
