Michael Jackson Baby Momma Drama

By: Hot Gossip Gal Well according to this English chick, she is the ‘real’ Mother of The King of Pops kids. Hmmm raising my eyebrows at this one. I am thinking this so called ‘herbalist’ may have just been smoking on a lil too much ‘herb’ when she filed papers in an LA court contesting the presence of Debbie Rowe on the birth certificate. Oh the issues in Never, Never land.

Hiero’s Casual Goes Rap-Rock Route

Quibian Salazar-Moreno You may have thought that Casual was on a milk carton somewhere but the Hieroglyphics emcee has been hustling hard the last couple of years with albums Smash Rockwell and The Champion. But the album more people maybe checking for is a collaboration project with Casual and rock-pop band Maroon 5, slated to drop sometime this summer. "We hit it off right away, and the next day, on a lark, I sat in with them during their sound check,” Casual said about meeting the band at last year’s Bonnaroo Music Festival. “I knew all of their hits because I had been listening to them on my tour bus, so I freestyled over a few of their tracks and it sounded amazing.” The rapper and the band kept in touch and emailed tracks back and forth and agreed to put together a “summertime party album”. For those unfamiliar, the lead singer of the band, Adam Levine, appeared on the Kanye West track, “Heard Em Say,” from the Late Registration album. Nothing from the Casual/Maroon 5 project is available yet, but Casual did offer some MP3s of him freestyling over the Maroon 5 hits “This Love” CLICK HERE TO LISTEN

J.Lo Banned From Record Stores

By Quibian Salazar-Moreno Even though Jennifer Lopez is showing her Puerto Rock pride with her new Spanish-language album, Como Ama una Mujer, she’s still being called a sellout. Ritmo Latino, the nation’s top Latin music chain, is refusing to carry any Jennifer Lopez CDs in any of their 50 stores because they’re saying J.Lo straight up dissed them. “She has refused personally to promote her new CD in any of our stores,” Ritmo Latino CEO David Massry told the New York Daily News. “We’ve supported her from the beginning. Now we’re told by her record company she will only visit Anglo retail outlets. This is a Spanish-language CD, and if she wants to discriminate against the Latin community, then we will not sell her product. This is not the first time this has happened. Celebrities have this notion that when they reach a certain level of crossover appeal, they forget quickly where they started." Massry also said that J.Lo is refusing to appear at any Latin-only record stores as well and will not only refuse to sell the new album, but also her entire discography. The rift grew after Lopez made an appearance at an F.Y.E. in the Bronx last week where she signed autographs for fans who bought her album.

Snoop Dogg: “F**k Bill O’Reilly!”

By: Rizoh Fox News blabbermouth Bill O’Reilly is well known for his attacks on hip-hop and hip-hop artists. Now Snoop Dogg has joined the likes of Ludacris and Jay-Z in giving O’Reilly the middle finger. You may be wondering why Snoop is suddenly speaking out against the conservative Fox anchor. Well, last year O’Reilly suggested that Snoop be locked up in a specially built ‘doghouse’ for his negligence of the law. The Doggfather didn’t bite his tongue when responding to O’Reilly on a Dutch-based TV. “Man, f**k Bill O’Reilly,” Snoop retorted. “They don’t understand me. He doesn’t understand how his kids and family just love Snoop Dogg and he don’t really get it,” Snoop said. “So instead of having a one-on-one with me to better understand me, he’s bashing me in the media.” Asked whether he would appear on The O’Reilly Factor if invited, Snoop said: “I’d love to go on his show, but we’d have to do it in my neighborhood though. So I can kick his muthaf**kin a**.”

Jimmy Rosemond Short of Cash?

By: Hot Gossip Gal Well he has that $280 mill lawsuit against him after beating up that DJ in DC but I doubt the mill he is looking for from Fifty because of the assault on his son is going to go far help. And anyway isn’t that called extortion? If this rumor about the mill is true this all sounds mighty suspicious.

Uh-Oh, Arrest Warrant Issued Out for The Game

By: Rizoh Have you seen the Game (aka Jayceon Taylor) lately? He’s wanted by New York authorities for failing to honor a court date. Game was scheduled to answer charges that he impersonated a police officer and instructed a cab driver to run a series of red lights, according to officials.. You would recall that Game was arrested for in downtown New York, following an appearance on David Letterman’s late night show last November. However the rapper, who has entered a plea of not guilty and accused the NYPD of setting him up, will only be arrested if he fails to make his next court date, scheduled for June 13th.

Diddy Does London

By: Hot Gossip Gal Even without putting on a show, as his partner in crime was banned from the UK Diddy still went ahead with the after party anyway. And oh boy Sean knows how to party. So as Snoop was reported to be kicking in in Amsterdam…hmm wonder what you were doing there Snoop, Diddy was playing perfect host at the Paper Club in London buying drinks for all the girls, Sienna Miller and Fergie included. (Sidenote on Fergie…she was celebrating her 32nd birthday….purrlease who is she trying to kid. Jonesy needs to stop hunting for documents about Beyonce’s real age and work on Fergie) No Kimmy though…maybe she was recovering from the 30 hours of Tantric sex Diddy boasted about earlier in the week while in Paris.

Halle Berry Attempted Suicide over Failed Marriage

By: Rizoh This once may surprise you: Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry once tried to commit suicide over her failed marriage with baseball star David Justice. Berry, who has now ruled out future marriage possibilities, recently told Parade magazine that she attempted to gas herself when her marriage to Justice collapsed. “I was sitting in my car, and I knew the gas was coming when I had an image of my mother finding me,” she tells Parade. Berry goes on to say that the image of her mother Judith, now 67, was enough to change her mind. “She sacrificed so much for her children, and to end my life would be an incredibly selfish thing to do. It was all about a relationship. My sense of worth was so low,” Berry says. “I promised myself I would never be a coward again.” The “berry beautiful” Halle also labeled her subsequent marriage, to R&B singer Eric Benet, as “really horrific.” “We were in sex rehab after one year. I wish I had left then, but I was putting everyone’s needs before mine,” says the 40-year old actress.

Dave Chappelle Returns With a New Pilot

By: Rizoh Dave Chappelle will reunite with his Chappelle Show accomplice Paul Mooney on a BET pilot dubbed “Judge Mooney.” Chappelle dons the producer’s hat for the new show, which shows Mooney reenacting real court cases. “Whatever I say goes,” said Mooney. “I’ve also got a little dog that sits on my judge’s desk, and I ask the little dog’s opinion. If the dog barks, I say, ‘Well, the dog says you have to go.’ It’s real crazy.” Mooney, who played psychic Negrodamus on The Chappelle Show, has now placed a permanent moratorium on the controversial N-word he once used as a stand-up comedian. “Using the word, we were trying to defuse it, trying to desensitize people to it … take the power out of it,” Mooney said. “But the word is an equal-opportunity word now, with Latin kids and white kids saying it and what it conjures up is all these demons. I watched the Michael Richards meltdown over and over, and I had an ‘N’-exorcism. And I don’t care how you spell it, with an ‘a’ or an ‘er,’ if you sauté or barbecue a goat, it’s still a goat. But I was married to the word then — now I’m divorced from the word.” Well, it’s the least he could do after decades of making some big bucks off the N-word.

Olivia Update

By: Hot Gossip Gal Well it turns out that Olivia has been dropped from G Unit, HOWEVER it has not been confirmed in any way that the reason she has been dropped is to do with her turning down offers from her label mates and her boss like the myspace page said. I noticed that a little note has gone up on the page since yesterday saying ’4 True Olivia Fanz ! This is not Olivia just a fan page .But I do work closely with Olivia’s Team’. What team does Olivia have though, that is what I am curious to know.

Chris Brown Continues To Get His Acting On

By Quibian Salazar-Moreno Chris Brown just finished touring with Beyonce on the other side of the world and it looks like he might be taking a music break for the movies.

MySpace Page Declares Olivia Dropped From G Unit

By: Hot Gossip Gal Well according to some fake looking myspace page, Olivia the only female signed to G-Unit has been dropped from the label. The reason she has been dropped according to this page isn’t because she can’t sing but because she has refused the advances of her G Unit brethren. So when she said ‘no no no’ Curtis allegedly said ‘go go go.’ These lil fake myspace pagers really need to get out of the house some. Click here
