Pretty interesting stuff, call it what you want but at least Cam'Ron's being honest.
Wow, but this certainly proves what I already thought: Baldwin is a certified nutcase who should lose custody of his kid.
Beyoncé told MTV News that she hadn't planned to put her cover of Des'ree's "I'm Kissing You" — which she retitled "Still in Love (Kissing You)" — on her re-released B'Day - Deluxe Edition album and video anthology, but other people insisted, telling her she'd be "crazy" not to. She might have benefited from a second opinion, since now she's being sued for copyright infringement over the track.Beyonce just needs to admit that she's a biter and cough up the dough. I mean it's not like she can't afford it.
The Royalty Network — which administers the publishing on behalf of Westbury Music, owner of the copyright for Des'ree's song — is asking for $150,000 in damages and seeks an injunction to recall the album from stores, according to a suit filed Monday in Manhattan Federal Court. A hearing to show cause has been scheduled for Monday.
It looks like former Destiny's Child member Farrah Franklin may still harbor ill feelings towards Beyonce. MediaTakeOut.com got it's hands on an interview that Farrah did with a publication called N Magazine. Below is an excerpt from the interview:
Nmagazine: So Farrah, any new projects coming out
Farrah: Yeah actually I’ve been in the studio working on my album
NM: So, this would be your first solo album?
Farrah: Yup! (Very enthusiastically)
NM: You must be excited
Farrah: Very (giggles)
NM: we all know you used to be in Destiny’s Child. What’s the difference
between being in DC and being a solo artist?
Farrah: well when I was in it (Destiny’s Child) it was more focused on one
person. It’s called a group but it was more like a solo artist and her backup
singers. I don’t take a backseat to anyone and that’s why I quit
NM: is it fair to say that solo artist is Beyonce?
Farrah: (laughs) whoever you want it to be
NM: we have to ask, are the rumors true? Is Beyonce a bee-otch?
Farrah: (laughs very hard) ummmm. I wouldn’t say she’s a bitch but she is
(long pause) a perfectionist.
The Puerto Rican boy band Menudo, which gave singer Ricky Martin his start, is coming back as part of an "American Idol"-style reality show called "The Road to Menudo."I know that Ricky Martin was once in Menudo, but wasn't that kid who did "Rico Suave" once part of them too?
Dozens of Latino teenagers showed up for auditions Saturday at a waterfront market in Miami, the Miami Herald reported. Judges included Johnny Wright, the music manager behind New Kids on the Block, 'NSync and the Backstreet Boys, and Backstreet Boy Howie Dorough.
Menudo was one of the most popular boy bands of the 1980s and '90s, rotating in new talent every few years when the singers got old or their voices changed.
"We're going to make it a little different than it was before," Wright told the Herald. "The beat is going to be the beats of the street now — club, hip-hop and rock. It's not going to be something that's pigeonholed."
SHE'S insisted that Eddie Murphy is the daddy and now a full-scale legal battle with Mel B looks imminent.
The former Spice Girl has put the actor's name on Fortuna Daphne Bay's birth certificate.
And she's adamant that a DNA test will prove that the 46-year-old Dreamgirls star is her new baby's dad.
Surely when it starts laughing outrageously and acting the ass, we'll all know the truth... A source said: "Mel has no doubt Eddie is the father and she wanted to make the point." However, even though Scary's hired a ridiculously expensive lawyer, friends say she doesn't want Murphy to have any part in her baby's life.
The source adds: "She doesn't want him involved because he has hurt her too much."
NASSAU, Bahamas (CNN) -- Larry Birkhead is the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby daughter, Dannielynn, a Bahamian judge ruled Tuesday.
"Everybody, I hate to be the one to tell you this -- but I told you so," Birkhead said outside the court as he smiled and threw his hands into the air.
When asked what's next, he said, "I'm going to the toy store."
Crowds applauded in front of the courthouse as Birkhead, Smith's former boyfriend, made the announcement, and Birkhead teared up as he thanked his supporters. (Watch Birkhead be the one to say 'I told you so' )
A DNA test confirmed him as the father with 99.99 percent certainty, said Dr. Michael Baird, who performed the test and revealed the results to a closed session of a Bahamian court Tuesday.
The court had ordered DNA testing to determine the father of the child, who has been at the center of a paternity dispute since she was born in a Bahamian hospital in September.
Smith had publicly identified Howard K. Stern, her lawyer and live-in companion, as the baby's father and listed him as the father on the child's birth certificate.
Stern hugged Birkhead and said he is not going to fight him for custody.
Talk about a lose-lose situation. A judge recently had to decide the custody of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown’s daughter, Bobbi Christina. While one parent typically stands out in these cases as the proper choice, Whitney and Bobby surely made it tough on the judge.
Not resorting to Option C - Neither, the judge has decided to grant custody rights to Whitney. According to Monsters & Critics, “The ‘I Will Always Love You’ singer’s divorce was approved yesterday (May 4th) by Judge Franz E. Miller in California’s Orange County court and will be finalized on April 24.”
Whitney, now 43-years-old, will have full custody of 14-year-old daughter. Houston was said to be emotional during the hearing, reportedly dabbing her eyes with a tissue before declining to comment on the proceedings as she left the courthouse.
Meanwhile, Bobby’s lawyer said the ‘My Prerogative’ singer is not happy with the judge’s ruling and plans on filing a petition to overturn the decision.

Wynonna Judd has filed for divorce from her husband, Dan R. Roach, after his arrest on charges involving sex with a minor.
The March 26 action follows Roach's arrest last week in Abilene, Texas. He faces three charges of aggravated battery against a child younger than 13. Police expect him to be extradited to
Nashville, Tennessee, where the incidents allegedly took place.
Posting in a statement on her web site, Wynonna Judd says she is "devastated" by the arrest. The couple were married in November, 2003. Dan R. Roach, her former bodyguard and road manager, has for the past month been receiving treatment for drug and alcohol addiction in a rehabilitation clinic in Texas.

Hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons has reaffirmed the age-old mantra that money doesn't buy happiness. Simmons, who founded Def Jam Records - the label responsible for launching the careers of rapper LL Cool J and Beastie Boys - claims that in spite of appearances, many wealthy people struggle with their riches and are often very unhappy with the life they lead.
He laments in his autobiography Do You!, "If I know 15 billionaires, then I know 13 unhappy people.
"These people's lives might be filled with mansions and yachts and private jets, but their medicine cabinets are also filled with antidepressants."
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Vivica A. Fox was released from jail early Wednesday after she was arrested for investigation of driving under the influence, authorities said.
The 42-year-old actress was pulled over late Tuesday after her vehicle passed a patrol car on the
Hollywood Freeway at 80 mph, California Highway Patrol Officer Leland Tang said.
Fox was arrested after failing a field sobriety test, he said. Breathalyzer tests also indicated her
blood-alcohol level was greater than .08 percent, the legal limit, Tang said.
A woman who answered the phone at the office of Fox's manager said, "We have no comment on that."
Fox has appeared in "Kill Bill: Vol. 1 ," "Soul Food" and "Independence Day." She also was a contestant on last year's "Dancing With The Stars."
LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- After nearly a month of seclusion in a luxurious rehabilitation center, Britney Spears has moved on.
The pop star checked out of Promises Malibu Alcohol and Drug Rehab Treatment Facility "after successfully completing their program," Spears' manager, Larry Rudolph, said in a statement released by Jive Records late Tuesday.
He asked that Spears' privacy be respected.
Spears, 25, entered the facility February 22 after a bout of bizarre behavior that included shaving her head, getting tiny lips tattooed on her wrist and beating a car with an umbrella. Photos of the
incidents were beamed worldwide.
Spears' activities have been steady fodder for weekly magazines and entertainment Web sites since she filed for divorce from aspiring rapper Kevin Federline in November, citing irreconcilable
differences.
Under a temporary agreement, the two have joint custody of their sons, Jayden James, 6 months, and Sean Preston, 18 months. Federline and the children reportedly visited Spears during her
treatment.
LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- Daytime television host Regis Philbin was cracking jokes with nurses a day after heart surgery, co-host Kelly Ripa told the "Live with Regis and Kelly" audience Thursday.
Philbin announced on the show March 12 that he would undergo open-heart surgery to clear out plaque in his arteries that had caused chest pains and shortness of breath.
Ripa said Philbin, 75, had bypass surgery Wednesday morning and is already "up and joking around with nurses."
She said that one of his doctors says Philbin has "the heart of a 19-year-old."
Ripa added: "Nursie-poo is coming with her sponge." Ripa had promised Philbin a sponge bath. Philbin, former host of the hit game show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire," has been a national morning TV fixture since 1989, first with Kathie Lee Gifford and since 2001 with Ripa.
