Assault Victim Suing Foxy Brown


About time one of these victims of Foxy Brown's ghetto rage step up to the plate and sue her dumb ass:

A Brooklyn woman who claims she was assaulted by Foxy Brown with a Blackberry cell phone has filed a lawsuit against the rapper.

As reported earlier, Arlene Raymond filed a complaint against Brown last year claiming that the Brooklyn bred rapper hit her in the face with a Blackberry cell phone during an argument.

Brown would turn herself in and would be charged with felony assault, menacing, harassment and criminal possession of a weapon. She would be released on $5,000 bail.

According to The New York Post, Raymond filed her suit against Brown yesterday (May 2) and is seeking unspecified damages.

Next up needs to be one of Busta's Rhymes many assault victims.

Crazy Paula Abdul Is At It Again


It's funny how Paula Abdul has managed to re-create herself, going from a perky pop diva to a lunatic judge on "American Idol", obviously from her continued antics, she prefers the loony label:
Paula Abdul says she and her fellow American Idol judges were thrown a “curveball” Tuesday night when they were asked to quickly sum up first half of the show — after originally being told they’d critique the contestants at the end.

Calling into Idol host Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS-FM show Wednesday morning, Abdul said her strange response to Jason Castro’s performance was an “honest mistake.” Abdul admits she’d written notes on both Castro and another performer on the same card, and in the end, was simply “confused” as she gave her feedback.

“In seven years we’ve never had to do that,” she told Seacrest of the format change, adding, “We were only following directions.”

Khia On Why She Cheated On "Ms. Rap Supreme"


Although it's coming off as another season of "The L Word" moreso than a female rapper competition so far, I've been watching VH1's "Ms. Rap Supreme" and must say that it's decent. Too bad, one-hit wonder Khia had to cheat and use a song she'd already recorded last week which got her the boot last night. Khia explained the science behind her sheisty ways on her MySpace:

First of all, there was nothing but a bunch of crack heads, whores and undercover bull-daggers in the house! Much love to Nicky2States and Rese Steele, the only two real bitches in the house and Byata… Byata was cool!!! Now, back to what I a was saying…… How in the hell is two clown muthafuckas gone judge me, when I out sold them? Just tell me that!!! I out sold and out shined everybody in the house including the judges….. That’s why they were hating!!! Serch hating ass….. Talking about obscurity and oblivion… He must have been talking about himself!!!! Because no one remembers the gas face and I am sure everyone remembers my MEGA HIT… MY Neck, My Back…. There’s not many artist, male or female that’s had a MEGA hit! They’re still fishing for it and I caught my fish the first throw!!!!!! Salmon….Pleeeeeeease!

Cheating… No B-I-T-C-H!!!! Checkmate!!! Yessssss!!! Yall bitches still don’t get it????? Is that the short bus I hear blowing outside???? PROMOTION….. Full promotion of my shit!!! VH1 put my face in millions of homes!!! I used VH1 to promote myself and my music!!! What part of that don’t you people understand? That was my plan from the beginning, not cheating but winning(stupid muthafuckas) The joke is on yall….. AGAIN!!!!!!!! I never intended on following the rules… Neva have…..I make the rules…… I am the boss….. My mission….. Accomplished!!!!!!!!!!! Yall bitches is so DELAYED!!!!! PROMOTION!!! !!!!!!! That’s why I was on the show!!!

Ok, now I get it. This brilliant move by Khia will obviously pay off, get her the exposure she needs so she can make more hits for what's left of her fans. I get it.

Britney Spears In Yet Another Auto Accident


Another reason why I think Britney asks for all the attention she gets. I mean seriously, like she can't afford to pay someone to drive her Starbucks everyday? Thank goodness no one was injured.

50 Cent Officially Kicks Babymama and Kid Out Of House


On the surface this sounds really bad and makes 50 look like a real creep:
Seems like 50 Cent doesn't want to put another dime into his ex-girlfriend and their son's living situation. Fitty (real name Curtis Jackson) allegedly bought the $1.5 million Long Island home (pictured) for Shaniqua Tompkins and their 10-year-old son, but now the rapper is sending them to the streets.

Tompkins filed a lawsuit in Manhattan accusing her ex of evicting her from the home, claiming "breach of contract." When closing on the house last year, sources reported that she wanted half of it in her name, but the deed only includes his. Does he have grounds to kick her out? A judge has obliged his wish, leaving the unemployed Tompkins to fend for herself. Sort of. The rapper's lawyer, Brett Kimmel, "said his client is paying Tompkins $6,700 a month, and that includes cash for her to find a new place to live for her and Marquise."

Not a bad deal for someone who had her new boyfriend living under Fitty's roof! That's right, the rapper claimed that Tompkins had invited her new beau and some other friends to live in the house that he was paying for.

And that's the point, this unemployed babymama had her boyfriend living in the house!?! That's just ghetto. Nevermind the fact that she had long been taking advantage of him via child support until a judge with some common sense recently lowered the payments. Then too is the fact that she was ordered by a judge to look for a new house and never did. Child supports payments alone can get her a nice pad...I'm with 50 on this one.

Popeyes Chicken Founder Al Copeland Dies


In a sad note and because I've such a longtime fan of his creation, I feel the need to note that Popeyes Chicken and Biscuits founder Al Copeland passed on the other day:
Al Copeland, the founder of Popeyes Chicken and Biscuits, has died. He was 64 years old. In his native New Orleans, he was known as much for his flamboyant lifestyle as for his chain's spicy chicken.

At the age of 18, Copeland sold his car to fund his first restaurant: a doughnut shop. When a successful Kentucky Fried Chicken moved into his neighborhood, Copeland started tinkering with recipes and opened a restaurant of his own. But it struggled: The chicken was too bland. So, he returned to his Louisiana roots and made it spicy.

Under Copeland's leadership, Popeyes opened more than 700 restaurants worldwide. At a Popeyes in New Orleans, restaurant manager Herschel Epps says Copeland was true to his roots.

"The same way that he was today, he was yesterday. He was always consistent, a caring person, and his loss will be felt heavy around here because he was a great guy."

Marlon Jackson Packing Groceries For A Living


If this is true, not only is it sad, but really f-cked up:

The Jackson boys are all reported to be having financial problems, says the New York Post.

According to the newspaper, 51 year old Marlon Jackson now works at Von Supermarket in San Diego stacking shelves.

46 year old Randy Jackson fixes cars in Los Angeles.

56 year old Jackie Jackson started an internet sales company which crashed and is now helping his son become a rapper.

55 year old Tito Jackson plays in a blues and jazz band for $500 a night. He is currently a judge on the UK TV show 'Just The Two Of Us'.

Jermaine, now 54, lives between his girlfriend and his family homes while the woo's of Michael Jackson have been well documented.

It seems Janet Jackson is the real success story in the family. Janet is said to be worth $150 million.

I don't think that I've ever seen a grown man packing groceries for a living and considering that the source of this story is the New York Post (via the even more scrupulous Daily Star), it's hard to take this seriously. Yet, if it's true that some of the Jackson men are on hard times, not only fo they have no one to blame but themselves, but what it really comes down to is pride as I'm sure Janet would help them all out. Then too, how the hell is Janet worth $150million when she hasn't had a hit album in eons?!?

Remy Ma Found Guilty, Faces 25 Years


Remy Ma faces up to 25 years in prison for shooting some chick she thought stole her money last year:
Grammy-nominated rapper Remy Ma was convicted of assault, weapon possession, and attempted coercion on Thursday (March 27) and now faces up to 25 years in prison. The case involved an incident on July 14, 2007 when Remy Ma got into a woman's car after a party at a Manhattan nightclub and demanded that she dump her purse, accusing her of stealing $3,000. In her defense, the entertainer conceded that she did fire a shot but said the gun went off accidentally while the two women struggled over the purse. Assistant District Attorney Michael McIntosh said Remy Ma ''took an illegal .45-caliber automatic and loaded it with hollow-point bullets,'' then used both hands to cock the weapon as she got into the car. ''She took every step you had to take to shoot somebody,'' the prosecutor said. The victim, Makeda Barnes Joseph was shot in the abdomen and testified that she underwent three surgeries during a three-week hospital stay.
First of all, this incident is the perfect example of how sad Remy's career has gone as she had to shoot somebody herself in a job perfectly suited for a weed carrier. Either Remy had no weed carrier or she's just plain dumb. Or both. Then too is the fact that Remy, whose been dissing Fat Joe at every turn for her career being so down, seemed shocked at the fact that she was found guilty, like she's Busta Rhymes or something. Sorry Remy but you're not that important. Last but not least, if I were Makeda Joseph I'd pack up and leave town quick, angry dykes are not to be messed with....at all.

Wendy Williams Getting Beat By Husband?


Some disgruntled employee of "The Wendy Williams Experience" is making claims that Wendy's husband is a sexual predator who beats his wife's ass when Wendy gets out of line:

In the complaint, filed Monday with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Nicole Spence alleges Williams' 33-year-old husband Kevin Hunter demanded sex from her more than a dozen times, the Post reported.

"Mr. Hunter repeatedly sexually propositioned me at work in the most crude and vulgar ways, telling me over and over that he wanted to 'f---' me," the 27-year-old alleges. "I also feared Mr. Hunter because he repeatedly physically assaulted Ms. Williams at or near the WBLS studio."

Both Williams, 43, and Hunter deny the charges.

Now Wendy's literally a big girl so its hard to imagine her letting her younger husband beat that ass, esp. up in the radio station where she has a rep for being a total bitch. Of course, hypocrite that she is, Wendy refused to talk about these allegations on her show.

TMZ has more on Wendy's accuser being a reality TV show star.
