"Say It Loud: I'm Black And I'm Broke!"

Five of James Brown's children are seeking to nullify his will. They want a share of the fortune that was left to his grandkids and needy children. According to TMZ.com: The children allege that the Godfather of Soul's ex-advisors used undue influence to get him to create charitable trusts to help themselves, though the will itself shows that the trusts leave money to educate Brown's grandkids. One Atlanta lawyer says that earlier wills might cast doubt on whether he really wanted to leave his estate to charity.
Will this man ever rest in peace?

New Movie, Old Faces

On December 28th a new movie comes to the big screen. It's called "Honeydripper" and it stars Danny Glover, Charles S. Dutton, Lisa Gay Hamilton and YaYa DaCosta (formerly of America's Next Top Model". Set in 1950, the story surrounds a juke joint owned by Danny Glover. Here's a clip:

Are They Serious?

The accusers in the "Chris Stokes" molestation case released a music video right before their accusation video. This will be the last post about them until either charges are filed or something sizzling happens.

Brandy Dodged A Bullet!

The LA District Attorney will not press charges for the 2006 car accident that killed a mother. According to the AP, Spokesman Nick Velasquez said there is "insufficient evidence" for a jury to find the 28-year-old actress-singer guilty of misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter beyond a reasonable doubt. LA is a fickle place. As we all know, she can still be sued in civil court.

You Be The Judge!

Could Snoop have strayed? Could this boy really be Snoop Dogg's lovechild? Does Shante know about this? The Star is alledging that this 9 year old boy is the product of Snoop and his mother (pictured). I don't know if this is true but it wouldn't surprise me. These things go on in "normal" people's lives, why would I be surprised about him? I can still remember the interview with Karl Malone in which he flaunted his children with his wife, and kept pushing the little boy with fuzzy hair, behind the camera! I hope this is all a farce. The boy wants to be on the "Fatherhood" show. He says he doesn't want to be in showbiz, he just wants to reconnect with his father. Snoop has not seen the child in 7 years. You be the judge.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday goes out to Jae Hood,22, John Legend,29, and Denzel Washington,53. Have a Blessed day, fellas!

Poor Farrakhan!

I guess it's true! We all have a F__k-up in the family! According to the "Associated Press":
A Gary couple are seeking to collect $350,000 from Farrakhan's 48-year-old son, who lost a lawsuit after crashing his father's Hummer into their car in 2003 and leaving the scene.

Nasir Farrakhan has yet to pay any of the punitive damages awarded to Charles and Gladys Peterson, though they received $464,000 for their medical expenses from his insurance company.

The younger Farrakhan has said he cannot pay because he has no income, has never been employed and has no checking account or savings. He argues the $1,400 in cash he receives from his father each month is legally considered charity, even though Nasir Farrakhan has acted as head of the minister's 20-man security force for many years.

People stop protecting these no-good kids! It's going to come back and bite YOU in the ass!

Chris Stokes Update #201!

According to Bossip.com, Razz B is missing! The story has been confirmed by Ricky Romance, Razz B's brother. Allegedly the Compton Bloods got hold of Razz B and forced him to retract his molestation allegations. Why would the Bloods do that? I know that Chris Stokes isn't a Blood! LOL Anyhoo, I'll keep ya posted!

Who's At Fault?

Brandy may escape charges in the December 2006 car accident that resulted in the death of a woman. According to the LA prosecution:
The woman who died in the car accident involving Brandy actually struck the vehicle in front of her before Brandy made any contact. The law enforcement source says Awatef Aboudihaj, the woman who died, struck the car in front of her, which was going 65 mph, and then slammed on her brakes. We’re told the sudden stop caused Brandy to hit the dead woman’s car. L.A. County Coroner spokesperson states that the toxicology reports show Aboudihaj had “slight traces” of marijuana in her system at the time of the crash. The L.A. City Attorney has until the end of the business day on Friday to decide whether to file criminal charges against Brandy, that’s when the one-year statute of limitations runs out.
Note to Brandy: Give me your lawyers phone number! Is he the new Johnny Cochran?

This Is Too Deep!

First, Bossip.com says that an exclusive source has informed them that LAPD is investigating Chris Stokes because of allegations of molestation. Now Omarion has issued a statement calling Razz B and Ricky Romance liars:“I want to be on the record as saying that “Raz B” Thorton and Ricardo Thorton are lying regarding Chris Stokes. Chris is a father figure to myself, and many others in the industry. He’s guided us, helped raised us and is nothing more than an inspiration and someone I respect to and look up to. I have spent countless hours, days, weeks and months with the man since the age of 5 and have never once seen him behave inappropriately. He’s married to my aunt and I know this man very well. I stand behind him with no question whatsoever,” said Omarion.

“I have grown up around Chris and this is crazy to me. These people have damaged me, and my reputation and I won’t stand silent and will do all within my means to speak the truth about this matter,” said Omarion.
Lastly, there is new video from Razz B saying that his allegations are NOT true. He says that the former video was leaked without his knowledge.


Something is fishy here! Could he be backtracking because he didn't think his "cousin" could go to jail for this? Where is his brother? Why didn't he deny the allegations? I'll keep you posted.

Happy Birthday !

Happy Birthday goes out to former "Pretty Ricky" member Pleasure P,23, Theresa Randle,43, Thelonious Monk Jr.,58, and John Amos,68. Have a wonderful day!

Why?

Young Joc is being called a felon! He was a no-show for his arraignment and the police in Cuyahoga County are hopping mad! LOL Young Joc says that he had family business to tend to. He over mama'n'em house eating greens! Who is gonna give up Christmas to be arraigned? They should have done it while they had him! Let me go, you might not see me anymore either! LOL Just kidding, I abide by the law. I ain't no killer, but don't tempt me! LOL

Luckiest Baby On Earth!

According to Bossip.com, not only will Halle Berry's baby be Blessed with good looks, it's God-mother will be Oprah Winfrey! Damn! Where was my mother when Oprah was coming up? Don't get me wrong, I love my God-mother but she can't make it rain! She ain't shopping at Bergdorf Goodman! BTW where is the boyfriend? Did he deposit in the cup and disappear?

Jay-Z Leaving Def Jam Position!

Jay Z is leaving his post at Def Jam when his contract expires. He says "it is time for me to do other things." Antonio "L.A." Reid, chairman and CEO of Island Def Jam Music Group, said the label regrets Carter's decision to move on.

"While he will continue to be one of our signature artists, he will nonetheless be missed in this executive capacity," Reid said in a statement.

Carter took over Def Jam in December 2004 in an incentive-laden deal that was reportedly valued at up to $10 million. His appointment followed the exit of Lyor Cohen, who departed to be chief executive of Warner Music Group.
Perhaps other artists will benefit from this move. Marketing money will now be plenty! I'm just sayin....

Just A Small Break In Christmas Spirit!

A Livonia Michigan man has been charged with hate crimes for trying to keep African Americans out of his neighborhood. According to The Detroit News: Curtis M. Gottler, 46, faces up to 13 years in prison if convicted of sending threats using a handwritten note, an e-mail and a letter.

According to an indictment handed down by a federal grand jury, Gottler left a handwritten note at the home of a Livonia couple in August, threatening to track them down and harm them if they sold their home to blacks.

Gottler also sent a threatening e-mail in September to the real estate agent who was handling the sale, the indictment alleges. Earlier, in June, Gottler allegedly sent a letter to a black Livonia resident, threatening harm if the resident failed to leave Livonia.

"The idea that someone can try to threaten and intimidate an African-American family -- and their real estate agent -- not to move into a certain neighborhood is a morally and legally bankrupt notion," U.S. Attorney Stephen Murphy said in a statement.
In this day and age the audacity to threaten people because you don't like their color is absurd. I am so glad that his full name was published. I'm sure that he is at work pretending that he likes African Americans. You know he probably says things like, "I have many black friends!" LOL Now back to your Christmas activities!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday goes out to CCH Pounder,55. Have a wonderful birthday and Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Have a wonderful Christmas! Remember, family is the reason for the season. Yeah, right! Jesus is the reason for the season! Be Blessed!

Chris Stokes Fights Back!

Chris Stokes has put out a statement about the alleged charges of molestation by his cousins Ricky Romance and Raz B.
“The accusations that Demario “Raz B” Thorton and Ricardo Thorton have made are vehemently false and hold no merit. I have recently stopped financially supporting both individuals along with assisting them with their criminal and legal matters which leads me to believe they are resentful and looking to benefit financially from this. My family is my first priority and the reason why I have been so supportive of them. In bringing these false claims, they have not only slandered me, they have also put me in a position to ensure that the truth is known and I will take all legal routes to protect myself, my family and my four children,” said Chris Stokes, CEO of The Ultimate Group.


He believes that Raz-B is bitter:

“It’s also quite ironic that these statements were made only 2 weeks after they were denied admittance by a venue for an event I hosted in Beverly Hills,” added Stokes.

He still doesn't say why he said "I'm not like that anymore!" "I don't do those things anymore!"
Who do you believe? I just had to post that picture of the boy group IMX that included Marques Houston. LOL

He's Going Down!

Yung Joc was arrested yesterday morning in Cleveland. According to TMZ.com "Joc, whose real name is Jasiel Robinson, was arrested around 6:15 AM Sunday morning, before boarding a Delta flight. He was attempting to go through a regular security checkpoint when police say they found the handgun and ammunition. Cops say the rapper told them he didn't know the weapon was there. Oops!

He was arrested without incident, is now free on $50,000 bail and will be arraigned Wednesday.

A gun in the carry-on bag? Let's just let this stupidity marinate....

Lord Forgive Me!

I came across a bit of gossip today. Razz B (of the boy group B2K) has a video on Youtube where he claims that Chris Stokes (Super-Producer and Manager) molested him at an early age. Chris Stokes also happens to be his cousin. Razz B and his brother, Ricky Romance, call someone that they say is Chris Stokes, on the phone and confront him. The person says "That used to be me, I'm not like that anymore!" I will post the videos so that you can see and hear for yourself.

Happy Birthday!

A very happy birthday to Clarence Gilyard Jr.,52. To all the Christmas Eve babies, have a Blessed day!

You Be The Judge!

According to Dlisted.com, these photos for "The House Of Dereon" have been seriously photoshopped. I ain't no hater but, there seems to be a different body and body color! I'm just sayin....
