Wyclef Jean loves the kiddies so much that he’s going back to college to get a degree in what he knows best…music of course! Apparently, Wyclef hopes that by going back to school he’ll inspire young kids to take education seriously. He’s enlisted the help of Mr. Perm & a Curl aka Al Sharpton to spread his message. He says,

“I am enrolling in Berklee College in Boston to get my bachelor’s degree in music! That’s how important education is to me. I plan to work with Rev. Al Sharpton because that’s how important stressing the importance of education to children is to me.”

Speaking of Mr. Perm & a Curl, word is he’s choppin down Diamond Lisa Raye. Why do I find this so hard to believe?

Word is Jay-Z and media hogger Al Sharpton specifically asked BET to ban Chris Brown from attending the BET Awards this past weekend. According to a snitch,

“Al made such a fuss to the BET executives that they pulled Chris. Adding, “Jay is a big name in the BET community, and he was very vocal about his displeasure with Chris attending the ceremony. He didn’t want Chris anywhere near the awards so close to the court’s ruling.”

Well, reps over at BET and Chris’ mouthpiece have denied that the young star was banned from the ceremony insisting that the rumor is “not true-he was never confirmed to perform”.

Wondering why Rihanna was no where insight on Sunday?! Apparently, the Good Girl Gone Bad felt she was too good to attend the awards ceremony and opted to hang out with her new boo, NBA star Rashard Lewis in New York instead. According to RiRi’s mouthpiece,

“Rihanna was never meant to attend [the BET awards].”
