By:Hot Gossip Gal Tyra Banks protege Eva Pigford has changed her name to Eva Marcille, why I have no idea as she been rocking the Pigford name since her win on America’s Next Top Model, perhaps the Marcille has a better ring to it, who knows? But I do know that the model has gone ahead and fired Tyra Banks and Benny Medina from their management roles in her life. Hmmm looking forward to hearing what Ms. Banks has to say about this.

By:Hot Gossip Gal I kept telling everyone, it was only a matter of time before Shawn Cater came back to hit The Diplomats where it hurts. He sat back and let Cam have his fun when it was time to release his album, now with Kingdon Come hitting shelves on Tuesday Jay launches his attack. Hip-HopCrack brings you the lyrics to his diss at Jimmy Jones CEO of Harlem‘s Diplomats. Do we need to say anything else? Me thinks not. But when I come backon Monday I am sure their will be a response as Jimmy had this to say "To get Jay-Z to bite the bullet was a hell of a chess game, ’cause he thinks he’s always playin’ chess. So right now, [I got a] check for his ass, ’cause he sold for the bait." Brooklyn High You a lil’ punk ass buck..(laughs) That’s it *****?…That’s "Ballin’"?…(laughs)…Aiight I guess men lie, women lie, numbers don’t…It’s over for that "Ballin" It’s my turn now…BROOKLYN!!!!!

By:Hot Gossip Gal Now after seeing the dapper looking Bow Wow walk the red carpet and perform with his master, Jermaine Dupri without his braids and looking quite a cutie, I think it is time for Proactive to step in and give him the endorsement they gave Mr. Sean ‘I run this city’Combs. I noticed a few little bumps on the face of the rapper we have watched grow up around raps infamous and notorious. Help the brother out Procative as I want to see him on People’s Sexiest Men list next year. Honorable mentions were Taye Tiggs coming in fourthand Omar Epps thirteenth. George Clooney took the title yet again.

By:Hot Gossip Gal Well back in the day Whitney Houstondid that with ease. But it appears the Sheriff is now bringing his hammer down on her New Jersey mansion in early January next year after the multi platinum singer has fallen behind on mortgage payments by over a million dollars. What were her and Bobby spending that money on? But whether she loses her home since 1987 is a topic for debate as apparently the diva is working hard with mentor Clive Davis on a come back with help from fam and friends, cousin Dionne Warwick included. She has definitely proved she is not one to throw in the towel any time soon, how long was she married to Bobby Brown before his philandering ways got the better of her? Enough said. Come on Whit keep the walls to hang another platinum disc from…we are routing for you.

By:Hot Gossip Gal English super soccer player David Beckham has been grounded by his wife, ex Spice Girl Victoria for wanting to go hang out with perhaps the most notorious player of a different sport, Snoop Dogg. The two ‘players’ met after the Live 8 concert last year "I wanted to hang out with David because I’m a fan of his and he’s a fan of mine. But his wife didn’t like that and she wouldn’t let him party with me," said Snoop. Well obviously last years media frenzy of David being involved with his PA has Posh Spice on her guard and to be honest now, would you in her situation want Snoop to be your mans best friend for a day or two? Probably not. But big shout out though to Snoop who in true West Coast style kicked it on stage at the First BET Hip-Hop Awards.

By:Hot Gossip Gal Obviously not to be outdone by Nas’s baby momma, Carrine ‘Superhead’ Stephans is coming out with yet another installment of her life of messing with A, B and C list rappers and celebrities. I am sure we are going to get a tell all of her recent relationship with Bobby Brown, who may not be the father of her second child after all, in there as well. Will she dish the dirt on Bill Maher in this one too? Anyone who didn’t get stung in the last one, you better be minding your P’s and your Q’s as by golly SHE IS BACK. And i heard there will be more booksbefore 2008. Just how many ‘trysts’ did this chick have??

By: Hot Gossip Gal Obviously the appearance at the World Music Awards in London isn’t something MJ is taking lightly. As reported previously here on The Wire, the vultures, sorry the English tabloids are circling Michael waiting for him to mess up when he performs his new version of his eighties classic, Thriller. But not to be outdone, MJ called in the help of young R&B sensation Chris Brown to help with the show. Of course all these little boy performers put MJ down as a big source of inspiration so I am sure CB was overjoyed to be asked to help out.

By: Hot Gossip Gal One place I love to stop by when in the City of Angels has to be Mr. Chows. Well it appears Mr. MTV Nick Cannon likes the place too and why wouldn’t he, when sitting across from him is the alleged new woman in the Wildin Out Stars life, the cutesy Joy Bryant. Since his break up with Christina Milian, who i heard is now marrying Dre the taller half of production duo, Cool and Dre, Nick Cannon has been seen all around town with Kim Kardashian. But people speculated that was just more of a publicity stunt as Christina snuggled up and wedding planned with her new man. Bryant and Cannon however met on the set of movie Bobby, a story about the assassination of Senator Robert Kennedy, produced by Breakfast Clubber Emilio Estevez in which they both star.

By:Hot Gossip Gal Well I just can’t sit back and not comment on the styles which graced the red carpet at this past weekends first BET Hip-Hop awards show. I know you are probably wondering why I held off on commenting until now, well there was a reason…I was hoping that through all the celeb snaps of Sundays red carpet I might find one that made me think Remy Ma really looked cute in her overalls, but alas, I didn’t. So I am afraid I have to give Remy the Too Late award…too late for Halloween Ma.Runner up award goes to Da Brat who looked like she had literally just stepped out of the 80′s and not in a cool way either. Come on girls get your dress up on when you know cameras are going to be a snapping. Big shout out to Hov though..looking very dapper as he received The Hip-Hop Hustler Award. And what is the deal with the names of these awards anyway on another note, is this BET trying to add a street twist to their image? Hustler, Rookie and MVP…sounds a lil like a rival channel to me.

By: Hot Gossip Gal Oh my. oh my, oh my…Naomi, Naomi, Naomi…girl what is going on with you? Apparently her anger management classes haven’t done the trick as once again her name is all over the tabloids, this time for ‘punching the face’ of Italian starlet Yvonne Scio. Isn’t it about time this super-diva picked a better battle for herself rather than fightingwith her so-called best friend. Of course Scio is pressing charges against Campbell and fyi the reason the incident took place….Yvonne wore a dress ‘similar’ to Ms. Campbell’s, please note the operative word here is ‘similar’ and not ‘same’.

By:Hot Gossip Gal Ok so today sees 50 Cents enemies dropping their hated and loved projects. Appearing at Virgin Megastore in Times Square later today you will find Compton‘s most publicized rapper The Game and the Boogie Downs own Joey Crack signing albums. Shame Styles P didnt drop today, just to really make it a true G-UNOT Day. Funnily enough though the last time a G-Unit member was seen at the Virgin Megastore in Times Sqaure he walked out empty handed becasue his card was declined…I doubt you will catch Yayo and fam down there today stocking up.

By:Hot Gossip Gal Is it a match made in heaven?? Well looking at Shareefa’s new video for Cry No More its looking like that DTPs songstress Shareefa and Down Souths G-Unit member, Young Buck have a serious chemistry going on. I mean she made it clear she needed a boss in the first joint off her album Point of No Return, but I am curious to know, has she mademy fave G-Uniteer, Young Buck her boss?

By: Hot Gossip Gal Man, if there is one man who I hate to talk about, because I just don’t like to speculate on the greats it has to be the MJ of the musical world. But our Mike is getting a serious beat down from the media in the UK, who are as infamous for their over exaggerated stories as Mike is for wearing pyjamas to court . The Man in the Mirror hasn’t performed in quite a while and it looks like his expected performance at the World Music Awards in London next week is being anticipated for the wrong reasons. "He looks dreadful and hasn’t performed for years — I fear it’s going to be a humiliating freak show which he will regret," said a reporter from London tabloid The Sun. Hoping to close out the show with the graveyard scene from his legendary 80′s chart topper single, Thriller, lets hope if the performance does end up as the so called ‘freak show’ the Brits are expecting, Mike blends right on in on the set with the other ghosts and ghouls to save face. On a lighter note though for Mike fans out there, did any of y’all get to hear the album, The Mike we Like..put together by Square It is a remix album that you have to hear if you are a Mike fan..shout outs to my public wizard in Miami for hooking me up on that.

By: Hot Gossip Gal Well apparently two of the most talked about gals in the media are going to be getting it on, literally, on the silver screen in an adaptation of Sarah Walters romance Tipping the Velvet. Beyonce Knowles and Desperate Housewife Eva Longoria are going to be playing the leading ladies in the movie, who just happen to be lesbians. A source says, "They weren’t at all coy about the sex scenes. In fact they both seemed to think it would be more fun than doing the same work with a man. It’s going to be very hot." I am sure the thought of this collaboration will titillate the minds of many out there including their high profile beaus, Jay Z and San Antonio Point GuardTony Parker. The movie will be directed by Sofia Coppola who has Marie Antoinette playing in theatres right now

By: Hot Gossip Gal A Town was the place to be last night it appears as the first BET Hip-Hop Honors Awards took place. Everyone who was anyone was there in full effect last night, and of course the home city was well represented, TI, Jeezy, Ludacris, JD, D4L and The Ying Yang Twins were all repping the A hard, with Jeezy and Luda hitting the stage together to put an end to their so called beef. Also there were Game, Snoop, Diddy and of course Harlem’s own Jim Jones was there ballin’. Word has it that Jimmy is launching his own belt buckle line, we will be keeping you posted on that. But my night was made when I saw Flavor Flav walking with his ‘flavor of love’ Ms. Delishis. down the red carpet looking quite the couple. There have been rumors circulating that winner of season two’s Flavor of Love is not the only female in Public Enemy’s Flavor Flavs life, but last night Flav with his hand firmly placed of Delishis’s butt had eyes for nobody else.
