The “Boo” Chronicles…

Jamie Foxx was boo’d up with actress Stacey Dash all night at the Oscars…umm when did this happen?

Apparently they walked the red carpet together at the Vanity Fair event and Elton John’s party. I thought Stacey was married and that Jamie was…ahh well I can’t keep up. Go Jamie!

Also in coupleville…

A new reality TV romance is budding. According to a snitch, NFL play Chad Ochocinco and his “Dancing with the Stars” cast member, Nicole Sherzinger from the Pussycat Dolls appear to be getting together. The two are both in Los Angels preparing for the upcoming season, and word on the street is that they’ve already been on a couple of dates. Hmmm…remember when he was jogging naked? Maybe he was running to her house.

And in splitsville…

I just learned that “American Idol” finalist Kimberly Locke and her boyfriend, “Celebrity Fit Cllub” judge Sgt. Harvey have called it quits. *gasps* I mean the couple had been dating for nearly two years, and then all of a sudden last week they decided to end things? Well I spoke to a source close to the couple who said that is was all Sgt. Harvey’s fault. The little birdie told me, “Harvey didn’t want to get married and Kim did, so she packed her bags.”

I am not mad at that…I’m sure sistah-girl does not have another 2 years to waste!

Anita Baker Thrown In Jail??…Almost?

Anita Baker’s ex-husband, Walter Bridgforth, is making a big fuss over royalties. On February 24th Anita was to sign documents giving court-appointed music contract expert Howard Hertz rights to seek information from the record companies on the amount owed to her ex in their divorce settlement. When Anita did not sign by the deadline, Detroit’s Wayne County Chief Family Court Judge Lita Masini Popke ordered her back to court Friday to sign or be jailed. Well you know that had Anita sweating bullets, luckily both of their attorneys were able to strike a deal during the session that was satisfactory to all parties and did not involve jail time.

Baker tells the Associated Press:

“I’m so happy. … I have never been in such a position before. And we don’t intend to ever be in such a position ever again. I just wanna go home, and I’m happy to go home. … As horrific as it could have been, it was lovely to feel supported, though, on the other end.” 

Before the hearing, a visibly stressed Baker explained her side of the case.

Joe Denies Fight With Trey Songz

Joe has dismissed rumors that he and Trey Songz threw punches over model chick, Tahiry, at Trey’s party. In an official statement to All Hip Hop he says:

“First of all, I was not involved in a fight. Me and Trey Songz are real cool. We
did a record on my last album. We did ‘We Need To Roll’ and, you know, I went to
show support,” Joe told AllHipHop.com. “That’s my man. I heard he was going to
be having a party that night and there was going to be a performance. Nothing happened
between him and I.”

Joe told sources, maybe after he left an incident with Trey occurred and people
thought it was him. I’m not surprised….stuff always gets exaggerated and blown out of proportion.

Rihanna On Outs WIth Her Dad & Keysha Cole’s Baby Bubble

Rihanna says she felt betrayed by her father, Ronald Fenty, in the wake of the Chris Brown assault. On the Ryan Seacrest radio show yesterday, she said:

“He did something that was really upsetting. He turned his back on me and went to the media and got paid to talk about stuff, like all these interviews after the situation in February. I hadn’t spoken to him, and he was speaking as though we did.”

RiRi also denies Fenty’s claims that she’s been unwilling to talk to him.

“That sounds very strange to me, since I’ve been the one trying to reconcile with him forever. I haven’t heard from my father in over a year. I try, though. I’ve reached out to him.”

Rihanna will shoot a video for her new single, “Hard” featuring Young Jeezy, this week. She’ll perform on Saturday Night Live this weekend

And for those of you who were still in doubt of Keysha Cole’s pregnancy, here’s the final evidence to prove it!!! She’s adorable.

In other baby news….

This precious photo of Jennifer Hudson and her son David Jr. was floating around the net.

R&B Birthday Brawl & Toni Braxton Heats Up Soul Train Awards

The streets are on fire!!! Sources claim that on Saturday night two R&B singers, Trey Songz and Joe, came to blows:

“Both Joe and Trey were seated together in the VIP section at a New Jersey club. Everything was fine at first, with the two guys hanging together and drinking. But as the liquor flowed and the night went on, one of Joe’s friends got into an argument with one of Trey’s friends. And before long, all heck broke loose. The entire VIP section started brawling — including Joe and Trey Songz. Trey didn’t get anything too bad, but Joe and his people were beat up pretty badly.”

I’m sure both Trey and Joe will deny playing a part in the melee. But witnesses say those two were definitely throwing bows!!

On another (more positive) note, Check out Toni Braxton tearing down the stage with Trey Songz at The 2009 Soul Train Awards. Homegirl’s clearly still got it!!!

Tiger Woods Caught Cheating: A Woman’s Wrath

All hell broke loose over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend between Tiger Woods and his wife Elin Nordegren. From what I gather, Tiger Woods was stepping out with another woman, Elin caught wind, and tried to beat the dog devil out of him, causing him to crash into a tree. Two stories are surfacing about the incident:

Story #1
Tiger allegedly had a conversation with a friend yesterday, in which he said his wife had confronted him over reports he was involved with another woman (Rachel Uchitel) and that his wife scratched his face up during the argument. Tiger told the friend he then left the house, started driving off and his wife then came out with a golf club, striking the vehicle. Tiger then became distracted and hit the hydrant and then a nearby tree.

Story #2
The Windemere Police Department says Tiger’s wife claims she went outside, saw that her husband had struck a fire hydrant and a tree, and then went back inside the house for a golf club to use to try and extricate him from the vehicle. Both Tiger and Elin claim that the scratches on his face where caused by the car accident. However, there was no blood found on the steering wheel of Tiger’s SUV.

Tiger is now going with Elin’s story and claims that all reports of a domestic dispute between the two are false. Meanwhile, Tiger’s so called friends are still releasing info to the press. One friend says that during a phone conversation on Friday, Tiger told his friend, “I have to run to Zales to get a ‘Kobe Special.’” The person on the other end of the phone asked Tiger what a “Kobe Special” was. The reply “A house on a finger.” (referring to the ring Kobe bought Vanessa after the Colorado rape scandal.) During the conversation, Tiger also said his wife had “gone ghetto” on him.

Tyson Says Assault Self Defense

Mike Tyson’s publicist says the former boxing champ was only trying to protect his wife and 10-month-old child when he punched out a photographer at L-A-X Wednesday. But the paparazzo says, in a video posted on T-M-Z, that he “wasn’t aggressive, I was shooting from a distance, and I was respectful.” He says his videotape of the altercation backs up his claim.

Damnnnn Gina, You know a lawsuit against Tyson will be coming next. The guy actually has the knockout on tape. Open and shut!!!……hmmm maybe he should sell it to pay per view so that we can witness one last Tyson K.O.

Mike Tyson Locked Up!!

Iron Mike Tyson was locked up yesterday at the Los Angeles International Airport on charges of suspicion of battery after getting into a brawl with the paparazzi . According to reports, Tyson was with his wife and 10-month-old at the time of the incident in front of the United Airlines ticket counter. The paparazzi allegedly struck Tyson in order to get his attention, and Tyson hooked off on him thinking that he was back in the ring. LOL… Bet that’ll be the last time any member of the press takes a jab at Mike in an attempt to get his attention. The pap claims that Tyson punched him in the face while trying to take his camera away.

DMX Tries To Fix His Fight!

Rapper DMX was scheduled to fight CEO of Power Moves Entertainment, Eric Martinez on December 12th, but DMX’s contract apparently requested the event promoter, Thunder Promotions, to fix the fight!!! Once they refused, DMX pulled out!!!

DMX’s contract stated: “Event Promoter and Management agree that (DMX) is scheduled to win Boxing Challenge… All parties agree this event has been scheduled to occur only in fun and that the artist involved is not a professional boxer.”

I guess DMX didn’t want a loss to mess up his street  jailhouse cred. Thunder Promotions are reportedly searching for another D lister to replace DMX at the upcoming fight.

Russell Simmons Goes At Bill Cosby

Russell Simmons has grown tired of Bill Cosby’s attacks on hip-hop. He writes on his GlobalGrind.com:

“Bill Cosby is an example of someone from the older generation who has consistently blamed the poets and asked suffering community members to bare the full burden of guilt for the struggles that they endure… What they don’t understand is that the young people who they criticize did not create their own realities. They did not create the crumbling education system that we school them in. They did not create the drug epidemic and drug wars that have resulted in a dysfunctional family structure. They did not create the healthcare crisis that does not treat them. They did not create the culture of violence that they fall victim to.”

Fun Facts: Cosby recently released his own rap project, Bill Cosby Presents the Cosnarati: State of Emergency. And Russell Simmons is the third-richest figure in hip-hop, having an estimated net worth of 340-million dollars. He’s behind Jay-Z with 547-million and Sean “Diddy” Combs with 358-million.

Kim Kardashian Gets Knocked The F*$@ Out

Kim Kardashian got her copious butt kicked in a celebrity boxing match on Tuesday night — and earned a black eye in the process!

Kim got smacked in the kisser by a fan who was the highest bidder in an auction benefiting the Dream Foundation — just hours after her little bro Rob got a concussion in an earlier match.

Writing on her blog, Kim said, “At the end of the day, we did this for charity and that’s what counts. You can try to bring the Kardashians down … but we’re a strong family. A concussion and a black eye can’t hold us down!”

Bwaaahahaaaa!!! I love that she’s a good sport about it. But why were people PAYING to beat up on the Kardashians?? That’s what has me rolling.

Beatdowns: Nene Leakes vs Michael Lohan & Reggie Miller Restraining Order

The Insider seems to be the new boxing ring!  A couple of weeks ago, Nancy Grace gave Jon Grosselin a concussion without even getting out of her chair and now it’s NeNe’s turn! The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s resident bitch slapper went head to head with Michael Lohan and bombs him before he can even get a sentence out.

Jay-Z Beefing With VH1???

Tongue’s were wagging when VH1 Hip Hop Honors Awards aired and all of the one time Roc-a-fella artists including Jay-Z were noticeably absent.  Rumors circulated that perhaps Jay-Z was still bitter about his departure from Def Jam presidency. But now sources are adding a new twist….

I have a source and that source knows what they are talking about. They are talking about Jay-Z and his relationship to VH1. That source tells me that Jay-Z has a bone to pick with VH1 for some reason or another. They didn’t know the actual reason. But, whatever the reason, Jay-Z refuses to do anything with them. I was under the impression that it was an issue with Def Jam or something, but it is not. Anyway, this scorn caused Jay to basically pull all of his talented cohorts like Kanye, Rihanna and Memphis Bleek! I mean, nobody from Roc-A-Fella was even there! That’s crazy!

Interestingly enough, a little birdie buzzard in the network told me that this year marked the last year of VH1 Hip Hop Honors. In other words, THAT’S ALL FOLKS!

Notable Quotables….

According to Nick Cannon in In Touch Magazine, Eminem is lucky that they haven’t run into each other yet and believes that they need to have an “old-school” sit-down:

“He’s lucky I haven’t run into him yet. I’m supposed to protect my if someone can be so heinous and disrespectful. Until we speak, I don’t respect him as a man. He and I need to have an old-school sit-down.”

Lady Gaga explains her reason for cancelling the “Fame Kills Tour” to MTV and also responds to 50 Cent “gay tour ” comments:

“Well, actually, it was a mutual decision to cancel the tour,” she explained in an interview. “But I’m not taking any time off, so I’ll be leaving just a week later than I was supposed to on my own solo tour. It will be the same places. So I will see you guys there…In respects to the creative work that [Kanye and I] did together, I won’t be doing any of the things that we designed for the tour. It will be entirely new, and it will be just as amazing and memorable and epic…[As far as 50's comments,] I think it’s sad — and I think that nobody in any genre of music should accommodate homophobia.”

Kate Gosselin weeps about her husband Jon cleaning out $200,000 from their joint bank account and leaving her and the children with only $1,000:

“When you’ve left your children and their mother without the funds to pay for the roof over their head, it’s not acceptable. I need that money to provide for them. We were in the position after our sextuplets were born that we could not pay our bills. We did the show to provide a better life for them. Never did I think I’d be back in the same position. I have a stack of bills in my purse I can’t put in the mail.”

VH1’s Chance Goes In on 50 Cent…

Some reality stars need a reality check and quick!!!

Chance from Real Chance of Love on VH1 has set his sights on verbally attacking 50 cent. Clearly this whole tough guy image that he portrays on TV has gone to his head. Who among us believes that Chance has a ‘chance’ at smashing 50 cent verbally or otherwise?  (crickets****) I thought so.
