He may be heading for a government holiday but you can be guaranteed that jeweler to the stars Jacob Arabov is making sure he is dealing with his business before heading out of town on his sabbatical. Having already named Wyclef Jean in a law suit for not paying balances owed on jewelry created and supplied by Arabov, new names have now been added to that list.
These include Juvenile, Knicks player Eddy Curry and the infamous late payer Scott Storch. I think Jacob will have to join a very long line when it comes to getting his cash from Scott Storch somehow.

Rapper Mos Def is known for a lot of things – acting, music, a ridiculous live show and an eclectic sense of style. The latter has helped him launch his own clothing line, called Too Black Guys. For the Fall 2008 collection, Mos has thrown in some sweats, denim, crew sweaters and really cool hoodies. Check out the photos below. And by the way, really creative presentation of the line, I like the use of the mirrors. Mos is getting down with modeling too, I suppose.

OK so it turns out that the situation between Lil Wayne and a New Orleans jeweler has been resolved amicably. Weezy had purchased a ring and a chain costing over $160,000 but had only paid the jeweler $24,000 and had agreed to pay the remainder of the balance off monthly(Obviously on a Cash Money Layaway Plan) Anyhow turns out that the agreement will see Weezy hand back over the $138,000 ring and the reminder of the cash.

Nicole Scherzinger of the Pussy Cat Dolls and her man Formula One racing driver Lewis Hamilton look like they could be another power couple in entertainment when you see the couple all loved up at LAX airport this past weekend. The duo have been dating for about six months now, but that hasn’t stopped the english driver being linked to various other beautiful women around the globe.
In other Pussycat news, the five gals managed to keep their clothes on at the MTV Asia awards this year. They caused uproar last year when they bared way too much flesh last year and incurred a fine of $1500. Obviously as long as you are covered it doesnt matter what with as the girls were kicking it on stage in PVC and leather.

Regardless of if Diddy is her man or not, you can guarantee with those lips and that body, Cassie has no concerns in finding a man of her very own and not one that comes with a whole load of baggage. I would call four kids, two baby Moms and a serious aversion to commitment baggage. Here she is in all her glory on the cover of Complex this month.

Running up a bill of over $700,000 for watches and jewelry might to many not be a big deal, but when the customer fails to pay the remaining balance of his bill, over $300,000 it becomes a problem. Particularly when the said jeweler is taking a brief government vacation for money laundering. Jacob Arabov, more commonly known in the ‘industry’ as Jacob the Jeweler filed a lawsuit against Wyclef Jean, the former Fugee front man and now roving Ambassador for his native Haiti to recover the unpaid bills.

Nelly is getting ready to make some major moves, both with and without his clothes. His energy drink PIMP juice which caused excessive controversy when it came onto the market in 2003 is ready to break out onto shelves in both France and Sweden. Already seen as a prominent refreshment in the French NBA, Pimp Juice will also be an official sponsor for teh Swedish MTV awards later this year.
Nelly is also the new cover boy for Sean John underwear which Diddy is said to be overjoyed about having Nelly onboard to make him more money. This is what he had to say about the St Louis front man. “I have known Nelly for many years and I really admire his work. To me, Nelly is the quintessential definition of the Sean John man. He has the attitude, the swagger, and most of all the physique that our customers can both aspire and relate to. And let’s be honest, all of the ladies out there are going to be thanking us for this campaign.”
