EVE, CIARA, & JAY-Z @ TAO...
2007-08-29 16:04:00
Last night Jay-Z and Eve hosted the Signature Apparel party Tao at the Venetian. Ciara was there as the Rocawear spokesmodel rocking of course a Rocawear dress.Eve worked the red carpet and announced the re-launching of her clothing line Fetish. She said "I did it before and it was juvenile. It was something I couldn't support. But I think this time my partners got it, I mean it looks just like me. Its stuff that every piece of the line I would actually want in my closet." Well I'm glad to hear she revised the Fetish line...either way I wouldn't be caught dead wearing it. Ciara talked about why she choose to join the "I Will Not Lose" campaign. When asked "Kanye West or 50 Cent?", her response was at first a giggle and then "I have to be honest. I love both artist, I think both are amazing. I want to work with Kanye on my next record. I already did a record with 50...ummm TEAM 50!" Awww...what a loyal chick! Though Jay-Z was there, he worked the red carpet for a quick second and ...

FOXY BROWN WANTS SOME FRIENDS...
2007-08-29 12:55:00
Want to know how Foxy Brown spends her days in Rikers??? Well, former inmates say that Foxy is feening to make some friends as she spends her days reading the Bible, drinking orange soda, and trying to fix her weave. Damn, I wonder if she found Jesus too? Is she keeping a journal?? Anyway, according to an inmate, "She's alone all day, every day. They're just keeping her away from everybody." I mean, do you blame them? I find it funny that Ms. Ill Na Na is forced to eat while everyone is playing outside. Inmates say that she begins to act like a little kid around recreation time, frantically begging on the door of her cell saying, "I want rec too". OMG, this is too damn hilarious! Since she can't eat lobster and shrimp in jail, she often heats up Ramen noodles on a hot plate it her room and has an orange soda on the side. Her crazy ass could be heard screaming down the hall, "I want commissary! I want potato chips!". Now, y'all are probably wondering how she's keeping up her anc...

DMX's attorney told reporters that his client is devastated by the loss of 12 dogs that were confiscated during a raid on his home in Arizona. Although no charges have been filed against the rapper yet, his attorney maintains that DMX is "totally innocent of all charges". Rumor has it that DMX has been seen at the property within the last 3 weeks, but his attorney claims that X has not been there in several months. I don't know about y'all, but this seems like some type of witch hunt. First, they got Mike Vick and now they got DMX. I'm tellin y'all it's a conspiracy!Just when you thought it was safe to walk the streets, crazy ass Foxy Brown has filed a lawsuit against the Corrections Department begging to get out of jail. Foxy had the nerve to say that the judges decision to lock her wild ass up for allegedly violating her probation was "arbitrary" and "unlawful". Foxy pulled a Paris Hilton and claims that she's "suffering greatly" at Rikers. Damn shorty hasn't been there fo...

Kelis hit the stage at the CreamFields Festival in the U.K. this past weekend and as usual had her ass blowing in the wind...smart way to stay relevant Mrs. Jones. She was later spotted partying it up in Paris with Iceland artist Bjork...somebody is feeling real nice. All this hot mess behavior has me a little worried about the upcoming reality show with her & hubby Nas. I just hope she doesn't end up looking a fool on TV. Meanwhile Dani, from America's Next Top Model, has a gig modeling Lane Bryant clothing. I thought Lane Bryant was for big girls...WTF, Dani modeling for them?!

KEYSHIA COLE COVERS S2S
2007-08-28 17:31:00
Our other favorite hood rat Keyshia Cole graces the cover of the October issue of Sister 2 Sister Magazine. But in more juicy news, Keyshia Cole is pissed off at Mary J. Blige for firing her friend from Geffen Records. The backstory goes a little something this some folks over at Geffen Records (home to both Mary & Keyshia)have been wagging their tongues about Keyshia being the "New Mary J. Blige." When Mary got word of this, she quickly phoned the PR folks at Geffen and headed straight to the office and fired the marketing manager. This same chick happens to be Keyshia Cole's girlfriend...so snitches are claiming Keyshia ain't having it. Keyshia had her people call Mary's people and they had out. Let's just say there was a whole lotta of "bitch this and bitch that" going on. I understand Mary may feel a bit threatened by all the comparison but firing that chick from Geffen is dead wrong...that's messing with her livelihood. But I guess is was only a matter of time before thes...

Ashanti has been so stressed out lately cause she hasn't been able to shed those extra punds. The songbird gained so much weight, she refused to be photographed during the weekend opening of the Ivy Hotel in San Diego. And all this time I thought all that thickness was thanks to Nelly puttin' in some extra work. I'm just wondering when she's gonna make a comeback?? Another celeb trying to slim down is SNL star Kenan Thompson! Supposedly Kenan is on a strict diet in order to play Barack Obama. If he doesn't drop the weight we might be seeing less of him when the new season of Saturday Night Live starts. Thompson says, "It's going to be a real political year and I'd hate for the show to have to seek somebody out to play Obama when they have me sitting there." He plans to lose 60 pound off his 260 pound frame. Damn...the pressure! Ludaris is trading in his rap cap to be a professor for a day for a new MTV show, "Stand In", focusing on contemporary history-makers. According to MT...

THINGS THEY SAY: MIKE VICK FINDS JESUS!!!
2007-08-28 13:58:00
After being persecuted for brutally killing dogs and having them maul each other to entertain grown ass men, Micheal Vick has announced that he has finally found Jesus . Shit, Mike let me know where he is because I need a miracle ASAP! Anyway according to Vick, "Through this situation, I found Jesus and asked him for forgiveness and turned my life over to God. I think that's the right thing." Hmmm..normally people find Jesus when they're in jail, but it's good to know that Mick realized he really needed the lord on his side.

WANNA KNOW HOW RIHANNA GOT HER DEAL??...
2007-08-27 21:38:00
No not by spending some serious time on her knees (that's more Cassie's style!). Rihanna actually claims she had no choice in signing with Def Jam because JAY-Z THREATENED TO THROW HER OUT OF WINDOW! The music moguls in the office on her audition day, including rapper Jay Z - were so taken with her singing they didn't want her to leave until she had signed the contract. Jay supposedly stood in front of the door and didn't let her leave. She recalls,"The audition definitely went well. They (Def Jam) locked me into the office - till 3am. And Jay Z said, 'There's only two ways out. Out the door after you sign this deal. Or through this window...' and we were on the 29th floor. Very flattering." REALLY! Somehow I find this hard to believe...Jay don't come off as the desperate type in either sealing a business deal or getting some pum!

Here are the members of Diddy 's new band...all these dudes got major talent-CONGRATULATIONS! These studs have no idea what they just got themselves into- signing a deal with Diddy is like selling your soul. Best believe these dudes will soon be making headlines for some hot mess behavior. Let's just hope their band name won't be as corny as them Danity Kane chicks. If you're wondering what happened to that big-eared white boy...Diddy gave him a solo deal. Something tells me Diddy has a major "man crush" on Donnie. Here's what Diddy said about Donnie: It definitely had a lot of bearing on Donnie getting a solo deal. The numbers on him were astronomical. And based on what he was bringing, his personality, he was very unique, and I thought it would be best to not force a round peg into a square hole and give him his own shine. Of course, Diddy brought all his other hoes..Danity Kane. Making the Band 3 vets Danity Kane showed up to put to rest those splittsville rumors...yeah ok! L...

Rihanna wasn't playing when she said she really likes them white boys or even mulattos for that matter. Well here's the scoop, the two surprisingly met for the first time earlier this month as McCoy was DJing a party in the U.K. Rihanna was supposedly feeing to met Travis, she requested an introduction, bought him drinks, and allegedly even invited him back to her hotel room! WHOA- talk about aggressive! See ladies, now that's how you bag a dude. Rihanna really turned the tables on him...then again this all a rumor so take as it is.

50 CENT & FRIENDS DO BILLION DOLLAR REMIX!!!
2007-08-27 17:37:00
Miss Info got exclusive word from Diddy himself that there is in fact a star studded "I Get Money" remix on the way...he calls it "Billion Dollar ." Of course some folks verses wont be included in the song...maybe Kanye's verse is to be axed. Now here's a re-cap, according to a snitch who told Miss Info- Diddy, Kanye, Curtis, Hov, Ciara and everyone else at NY's Screamfest headed to the studio right after the show to lay down a dream team remix to 50 Cent 's "I Get Money." Again another ploy to boost record sales. Surely though if Kanye's verse does get the boot off the remix, it will end up on the web in no time. Read More over Miss Info's page.

GUESS WHO?! TROUBLED CROONER
2007-08-27 06:09:00
This complexed black singer has issues. He's physically and mentally abusive. In the past, he beat his wife and mistresses on a regular basis. After people encounter him on video sets and at parties, they always comment, 'he has a dry personality and an air of darkness about him.'Despite success and wealth, he never seems happy. Always agitated and aloof. People have tried to categorize him as gay or bi. Although he's straight he likes to tease and play games with gays.One incident in particular stands out. A male escort who was attending a industry party got the singer's attention from across the room, they went to a secluded spot off party grounds.Suddenly, without warning, the singer punched him and yelled a gay epithet at him. He then went in his pocket and flung a roll of hundreds at him. The escort took the money and didn't sue.This man is strange to say the least. His preference is Asian women because he's a control freak. He also has to be reminded how great he is on ...

As far as I concerned there's just no female rapper out now to contest with all the dudes in the game. It's been a minute since a female rapper has stepped it up to keep the ladies in hip hop going. Foxy and Remy are too busy causing drama, Lil' Kim is too busy with all her niptucking, and all the others just simply ain't got it to maintain in the game...it all leads me to one question- Where my ladies at?!

THINGS THEY SAY: WEST: `I'M THE NEW MICHAEL JACKSON'
2007-08-27 05:33:00
Ok it's official Kanye West smoking that serious crack! Known for his loudmouth and at times stupid quotes here's another one...He's now calling himself the new MICHAEL JACKSON- because he's the only current African-American star who can sell out stadiums. The super-confident Jesus Walks hitmaker boasts no hip-hop or R+B star can fill huge venues like he can. He says, "When I was on tour with Bono, he said, 'Nobody from your community has ever figured this out, except for Michael Jackson .' "He really did do stadiums. He really was that one. And I feel like I'm that one." I love me some Kanye but comparing himself to Michael Jackson...there's just comparison, get real Kanye!
