Now does this throw some light on the Interscope story we talked on earlier this week? Or does it just mean that 50 and his merry men are a little past their sell by date now? On a side note however, Weezy sold another 150,000 units this week of Tha Carter III.

What a way to be remembered…full of s**t.

OCTOBER 2nd FOR DETOX

The most talked about album is available for pre-order on HMV.com with a release date of October 2nd. This will be believed when it is seen.

Since his ousting from the label, Buck has been on the hunt for someone to help him climb out of the hole he has dug himself. Will J Prince be the one? Only time will tell.

WAX DUMMY

This is how the good folks at Madame Tussauds see Tyra Banks who was unveiled into their DC collection yesterday. Way too demure looking for me really and this has to have been based around Tyra circa 2000 as I can’t remember the last time I saw those cheek bones.
