lilwayne.jpgLil’ Wayne is following in Amy Winehouse’s footsteps and entering rehab…first white folks go to rehab and now rappers is the soon to be trend. Snitches from his entourage claim Weezy is in search for a private facility to help deal with his addiction to marijuana. Since he’s got some trials coming up for his criminal antics…he’s trying to get clean. Good luck, weezy!

Industry snitches are claiming G-Unit clothing line will be folding very soon. Supposedly dissapointing sales are the reason. Downsizing in it’s staff and production could be the first effects…taking place as early as next week. REALLY?? Somehow I find that hard to believe…almost every kid I see or wannabe rapper rocks G-Unit. Take this rumor with a grain of salt. I doubt G-Unit is about to become the next FUBU. One thing is for certain G-Unit does need an upgrade in their marketing strategy.

 The “Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop” hip hop mogul, Diddy, is looking to hang the mic. Word is, he’s planning on quitting music to pursue a full-time career in acting. Next-up on Diddy’s list…an Oscar! He says,

“Right now I’m transitioning from a recording artist to acting. “Having an opportunity to play this role [in A Raisin in the Sun], it really changed my life. I had an opportunity to open up as an artist, and I learned so much. Every role I get, I feel I’m getting better.”

C’mon, leave the acting game for those who got the talent. Stick to what you know, fool!

Paris Hilton claims to be real cool with Fifty but Fifty wasn’t feeling her spoiled ass this weekend. At his pre-Super Bowl concert, 50 Cent gave white chick a shout out on the mic. Being the dumb blonde she is, shorty took it as a greenlight to hop on stage and join in on his raps. But Fifty wasn’t about to share his set with the broad. According to PageSix.com,

When the celebutard decided to get onstage and dance, the hip-hopper’s crew and stagehands quickly instructed her to “Get the [bleep] off the stage.” The attention-starved heiress started to cry and tried to plead with the party’s production staff to let her back on stage, whining, “But it’s my party!” - to no avail.

WOW! Fifty straight sonned this chick. Dumb broad really set herself up on that one… C’mon it’s Fifty- groupie hoes gets no love! Wuamp, wuamp, wuamp…

Believe it or not but Lenny Kravitz and Pepa are one of the few stars now claiming to be celibate. In fact, Lenny has been for the last three years…say what?! A sexy rocker, celibate?! Ain’t that an oxymoron?! The rocker who’s been linked to supermodels and a-list actresses tells next month’s Maxim:

“[It’s] just a promise I made until I get married..Where I’m at in life, the women have got to come with something else, not just the body, but the mind and spirit. It usually trips them out, but that’s the way it’s going to be. I’m looking at the big picture.”

Also steering clear of sex is Sandy “Pepa” Denton of Salt-n-Pepa.

“Just because I’m flirtatious people think I’m loose. But it’s not true,” the hip-hop honey tells Steppin’ Out’s Chaunce Hayden. “Truth be told, I haven’t had any sex in two years . . . I need a guy to make me go ‘Wow!’ and I just haven’t found that guy. My standards have gone way up . . . I’m not just jumping right in anymore.”

WOW! That’s a major change from the old Pepa. Realtalk, many women in the game could benefit from this kind of thinking…

yungjoc.jpgRapper Yung Cock is on lock! The Bad Boy rapper was arrested in Cleveland, Ohio this weekend after his dumb ass tried to pass through an airport security checkpoint at the Cleveland Hopkins International Airport with a fully loaded handgun. Don’t he know you can’t even get pass the checkpoint with a mere nail clipper. Joc is currently facing local firearm charges, however he may also face charges under the Air Piracy Act. Dumb rappers do dumb things!

After all the on and off rumors, the ride has come to an end for Hov. Mogul Jay-Z announced on Christmas Eve that he’s officially stepping down as Def Jam president. According to The Associated Press, Jay-Z released a statement Monday saying it was “time for him to take on new challenges”. Jay’s boss, L.A. Reid, says he’s sorry Jay will be leaving: “He will nonetheless be missed in this executive capacity.” We’ll have to wait and see what’s his next move.

remymakeda.jpgLike Biggie once said “Mo’ Money, Mo’ Problems”. Which is exactly what Remy Ma is dealing with after getting slapped with a $20 million civil lawsuit by the friend, Makeda, she shot. Remy is accused of shooting her in July after a dispute on a NYC street. In the suit which was filed in a New York court, Makeda accuses Remy of “willfully, wantonly and maliciously” shooting her. The suit also names Remy’s record companies, Universal Music Group and Sure Shot Recordings as defendants, alleging that they encouraged Remy to engage in violent behavior as part of image. I find that very hard to believe. Anywho, shorty also claims in the suit that she suffered mental anguish and severe physical harm after the shooting, which occurred because Remy thought shorty stole her money. Remy Ma is due to stand trial next year on charges of gang assault and witness tampering due to an incident in August, which prosecutors say she got her goons to attack shorty and her man. Remy has pleaded not guilty to the charges against her and continues to deny that she shot shorty. If convicted, she faces up to 25 years in prison. I’m saying, Remy needs some anger management for real…other people would’ve gotten shorty jumped or stopped talking to her…I mean it’s not like Remy ain’t cashing in. But ya’ll already know how these ghetto bird chicks do, always feel like they got something to prove…SMH!

Even supermodels are insecure…case in point Tyra Banks. Now Tyra’s always been very vocal about her inability to find a man or better yet keep one. Now she’s blaming her wigs for her man-less life. The supermodel is said to be very “insecure” about her hair and refuses to spend the night with men because she doesn’t want to remove her long fake locks in bed. A source said,

“Tyra is a confident woman for the most part, but she is really insecure about her hair. She doesn’t want any guy to see her without her wigs or hair extensions.” “Tyra feels like guys are with her for her image that they see on TV and in magazines. If one wakes up without her glamorous hair, she’s worried he may not call back!”

Tyra please quit your bitching and admit to the fact that YOU’RE JUST SIMPLY ANNOYING!
What’s Kimora Lee want for Christmas, you ask?! A B-A-B-Y, duh! The demanding diva wants current boy toy Djimon Hounsou to work his super sperm and give her a baby. She revealed her baby plans at a recent trip to a New York hospital to visit sick children. A source tells Page Six, “When she was asked what’s on her Christmas list, Lee responded, ‘A baby!’”

Don’t expect to see Diddy busting out the 1-2 step anytime soon! The music mogul reportedly suffered a serious injury to his foot last week, but no one is giving up any details. “He did have routine foot surgery, but I’m not getting into specifics,” Diddy’s rep told the New York Post. “It wasn’t broken, it was a scheduled operation. He’s doing great, and he’s on the mend.” What’s with the mystery…a foot injury is a foot injury, nothing else!

Ne-Yo is getting back to work with a response single to “Irreplaceable”. He claims a lot of men and baby daddies were pissed off with the song and so now he’s making a version for the fellas entitled “Go On Girl”. It will be solicited to American radio stations on December 4th, so be on the look out. Of course, if you can’t wait catch it here.

Looks like Usher is going to be “singing in the rain”! Usher tells PEOPLE, “I’m preparing for the Movie Rocks show. I will do a remake of Gene Kelly’s Singing in the Rain. We are going to cut it on the actual sound stage where they filmed it.” Movies Rock is a special about the role music plays in movies, will air on Dec. 7 on CBS. Usher went on to say,”I’m waiting for my son and preparing for my album. I have a lot to be proud of.”

Seems like T.I. is trying to soften up his image while under house arrest. His Grand Hustle record label and Grand Hustle K.I.N.G. Foundation will be handing out 400 turkeys in Atlanta: 200 on the west side, 200 on the east side. Thanksgiving dinners will be prepared and served for the needy at Club Crucial on Thanksgiving as well. T.I. is also helping the Hosea Williams Feed the Hungry and Homeless Foundation by calling out to his colleagues in the hip-hop community in hopes of raising $150,000 for a major turkey giveaway at Turner Field which is home of the Atlanta Braves. T.I. says the goal is to serve 20,000 to 30,000 people.

Kanye West was scheduled to perform at the 2007 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, however due to the death of his mother, Donda West he has decided not to perform. The show also features a performance by the Spice Girls and is being taped at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood on Thursday and will air on Dec.4 on CBS. As for the doctor who performed surgery on Ye’s mom, the Discovery Health Network has given the show Plastic Surgery: Before and After hosted by him the ax.

As expected Jay-Z’s American Gangster album is his tenth No.1 album tying him with Elvis Presley for the second highest number of No. 1 albums. Jay’s American Gangster album tops this week’s Billboard 200 album sales chart while selling 425,861 records in its first week. These numbers are much lower than the first week sales of Jay’s Kingdom Come album which dropped last year. I would say that Jay did good especially since he put out an album so quick, however he didn’t have the years biggest hip-hop opening week. But, when you’re respected like Jay who cares about having the biggest hip-hop opening week!

Nelly has partnered with NBA star Larry Hughes and have purchased over 60 acres of farmland in St. Louis to open a mulitimillion-dollar facility. Nelly’s company Nelly Inc. is currently in talks with the city of St. Louis to open this facility in the Maryland Heights area, which is currently being redeveloped. We need to hear more about rappers who are doing positive things instead of hearing about their arrests and court dates. I commend Nelly for wanting to give back.

Snitches are claiming mommy to be Halle Berry and and her model boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry,  are expecting a baby boy. She’s so excited,” one source said. “She says she’s never been happier than now, when she’s pregnant.” This will be Berry’s first biological child - she adopted her second husband Eric Benet’s daughter, India, during the couple’s disastrous four-year marriage, which ended in 2005.

 In other parenting news, Lenny Kravitz is cracking the whip on his fast ass little girl, Zoe Kravitz. As 40 friends gathered in his SoHo loft the other day to listen to his upcoming CD, “It Is Time for a Love Revolution,” Kravitz’s 18-year-old daughter, Zoe, prepared to go out in an ultra- abbreviated pink skirt. “Lenny turned into dad mode and said, ‘Isn’t it a little too short?’ ” our spy relates. “It was fantastic seeing Lenny is just like every other caring dad out there.”  Shouldn’t he started his parenting back when those pics leaked showing his daughter as a drunk whore.

 

Jay-Z sent his love to Kanye West during this time of grief. Jay-Z dedicated his sold-out Sunday night concert at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York to rapper Kanye West’s mother and asked the crowd for a moment of silence to pay respect to Donda West. “Let’s get serious for a minute,” Jay-Z told the energetic crowd during his encore performance. “This show is dedicated to Kanye West who had a death in the family.” The crowd quickly became silent. “We got you, Kanye. Stay strong,” he added before launching into his final song of the night, “Roc Boys.”
