Tyler Perry clears the air…..

Tyler Perry has been the target of the “Boondocks” cartoons. One episode makes fun of Perry by suggesting “homosexual tendancies” and making fun of his faith. As a result, rumors circulated that Perry dismissed some of his staff and had plans to sue “Boondocks” creator, Aaron McGruder.

Well EgyptSaidSo.com has learned that these rumors couldn’t be farther from the truth. In a recent interview, Tyler says:

Just like the Spike Lee situation, I feel that “no response” is the best response. I’m just gonna leave it at that…But I will tell you this… there is absolutely no truth to the rumor that I’m suing The Boondocks. Those are all lies. I’m not suing anybody over that. And I haven’t fired anyone because of that show either. I don’t know where all that came from. Just don’t believe anything you read on the blogs. But we’re always happy to speak with legitimate journalists who are interested in doing actual reporting.

Reality star Kim Kardashian‘s wax figure was revealed yesterday at Madam Tussauds in Times Square. The middle Kardashian sister came dressed in the same Herve Ledger Bandage dress as the mannequin, to show off the resemblance between her and the look a like Kim. “I wanted something that would represent my style, something tight and sexy and fun and flirty,” she added about about the hot pink dress the figure is sporting. Good job on the wax twin…..but can we officially retire the herve bandage slinky NOW?

PEEP THE VIDEO

This one’s for all my true blue Lauryn Hill fans……. L boogie sat down with National Public Radio recently to discuss her career and explain why she left the game so abruptly. I didn’t realize Lauryn had a fifth child. That in and of itself is a full time job!! Although many thought Lauryn must’ve been crazy to leave the business, I am starting to believe she left it so that SHE WOULDN’T GO CRAZY. Balance of family, God, and basic humaness can be lost when you submerge yourself in this corrupt industry. I am truly beginning to understand why Lauryn & Maxwell dipped out for a sec. Check out the full interview………

Nas and Kelis were back in court this week regarding the financial support arrangement. According to TMZ, although Nas is nearly $300K behind in spousal support payments, and Kelis is throwing a hissy fit because the rapper is also late on the mortgage payment for her crib… NO NO NO!

Can’t have the ex-wifey and your son on the street curb Nas??? According to the docs, Nas owes $52,989.22, and had his attorney appear back in LA Supreme Court to set up a payment system for the mortgage. He has to pay $17,500 down upfront, and then pay $7,800 a month until he is caught up on the mortgage. Kelis’ attorney, Laura Wasser, claims that the rapper rakes in $244,826 a month and shouldn’t be delinquent in his spousal payments (child support and mortgage payments)!!!

Needless to say, Nas is looking to sell the house as soon as he can get the former wifey out of his pockets, I mean off of his back!

Geeshhhh, Kelis is really tryna clean Nas DRY… DAYUMMMMM!~

Check out the court docs here!
