Ja Rule Released From Prison; Time On Sentence Remains
It looks like hip-hop artist Ja Rule has gotten a major leap toward his freedom.
After serving the majority of the two-year sentence he received for illegal gun possession and then being transferred into federal custody for his tax evasion dilemma in which he failed to pay taxes on $3 million, Ja Rule has left prison early. Ja Rule was sentenced to 28 months for the tax evasion which was scheduled to run concurrently with the 24-month sentence.
According to authorities, Ja Rule was released earlier this week from a correctional facility in New York and is currently in home confinement to serve out the rest of his time. His official release date still stands as July 28, 2013.
Hopefully this will be the end of time when it comes to trouble for Ja Rule. It’ll be interesting to see what he’ll do with his time once he’s finishes his sentence. Will it be some new music…a reality show???
$1 Rumors: Miami-based Law Firm Wins $3.4 Million Judgment Against Lil Wayne
It seems like seizures aren’t the only problems constantly surfacing in Lil Wayne’s life.
According to reports, a Miami-based attorney recently was awarded a $1.2 million judgment against the YMCMB CEO. The monies awarded are to pay for the legal fees acquired by attorney David Goldstein. Goldstein represented plaintiffs who claimed that Lil Wayne didn’t properly execute a contract in place. The lawsuit was brought forth in Los Angeles and thus the original judgment of $2.2 million was awarded there. But, in a recent twist of events, Goldstein is now seeking that the judgment be moved to Miami, Florida.
Apparently, Lil Wayne or his company hasn’t paid any of the $3.4 million judgment. So, Goldstein is petitioning to have the suit domesticated to Miami-Dade county so that Weezy’s personal assets can be seized until full payment is made.
Goldstein has his sights on Lil Wayne’s sprawling $11.6 million mansion in the private community of La Gorce Island. In addition to rapper’s home, Goldstein also wants to seize the black Bugatti Veyron Wayne owns. Damn!
SMH…we’ll keep you posted as this story develops.
Foolery: Scope Mouthwash Launches New Sizzlin Bacon-Flavor
This is the most random topic we’ve ever posted…
But, apparently, Proctor & Gamble (the makers of Scope mouthwash) is reaching for the next big flavor in mouth rinses. On their website, they’ve introduced the new flavor of BACON to their list of rinse products. According to reports, bacon is becoming the next hot taste that people are craving. We’ve heard of bacon bits or bacon additives being added to cupcakes. We’ve seen bacon strips wrapped around and cooked with various meat/poultry products. But to create a bacon-flavored mouthwash, is beyond comprehension.
Hopefully, P&G is ready to loose money on this one. If you can stomach it, check out the new commerical running on their website.
Ex-NFLer Kordell Stewart Files For Divorce From his “RHOA” Porsha Stewart
In what originally appeared to be all glitter and gleam when it came to the marriage of ex-NFL star Kordell Stewart and RHOA’s Porsha Stewart, it seems things are not so much so.
While latter episodes of the recent season of Real Housewives of Atlanta brought to light a more dominant nature from Kordell about being “in control” of their marriage, he has now decided to end it all. According to documents filed in the Fulton County Superior Courts, Mr. Stewart filed for divorce late last week claiming that his relationship with Porsha is “irretrievably broken.” In addition to his claim, Kordell is also against her receiving spousal support stating that Porsha is “an able-bodied person, earning income and is capable of supporting herself.”
There’s been no response in the courts from Porsha at this time, so we’ll have to wait and see how this all pans out. But if my memory serves me correctly, I do recall Porsha stating on the show that they didn’t have a pre-nup. If this is true and with less than two years of marriage under their belt, it’ll be interesting to see how this all goes.
Gucci Mane Wanted By Atlanta Police For Bottle Incident
Atlanta rapper Gucci Mane has managed to land himself in some hot water again resulting in him being a wanted man.
What this time you ask? Well according to a fan of Gucci’s named James Lettley, the rapper hit him in the head with a champagne bottle. As the story goes, during a night out celebrating his birthday at the Atl’s Harlem Nights Ultra Lounge, Lettley approached Gucci in the VIP section for a photo and his response was the “oops” upside Lettley’s head with the bottle. Lettley also claims that one of Gucci’s friends slapped him right after.
Well due to the incident being reported a warrant for Radric Davis aka Gucci Mane has been issued by the Atlanta Police Department. This issuance of the warrant was confirmed by Lt. Jeff Cantin of the APD who in a statement said, “We do have an active warrant for Mr. Davis for aggravated assault. So I’m sure after he sees this, I’m sure he’ll want to reach out and contact us.”
All I can do is SMH!
Mom Drops Paternity Suit Against Michael Jordan
After her son posted a video on Youtube concerning his “father”, his mom, Pamela Y. Smith filed a paternity suit alleging that NBA legend Michael Jordan was her son’s father. Smith filed the suit here in Atlanta at the Fulton County Superior Court.
In a counter suit Jordan claimed otherwise by showing that Smith had previously claimed during her 2003 divorce case that her now ex-husband Glennville G. Reynolds was her son’s father.
Well after last week’s court hearing between both parties in which Jordan wasn’t present, it appears things have changed. Upon leaving the hearing, both parties agreed to return to court if the matter couldn’t be resolved free of a judge’s ruling.
After all was said and done or however it played out, somewhere between then and now, Ms. Smith has decided to drop the paternity suit. According to her attorney, the decision was made “in her son’s best interest.”
Now while the whole Jordan’s his daddy case suddenly appeared out of nowhere, it seems to be disappearing just as fast. Hmmmmm sniff sniff…do I smell a settlement? Let us know what you think in the comments!
No New Info Found In Whitney Houstons’ FBI Files
In recent news, the Federal Bureau of Investigation released offical documents concerning investigations sought out by the late singer. Apparently, there were several investigations initiated by Whitney Houston (starting in 1988) in which all of them turned out to be non-criminal. In one case, the singer contacted the FBI to investigate fan mail which she believed included death threats. No evidence of threats were found. Another case involved an attempted extortion in 1992. The FBI and attorneys concluded that no crime was conducted.
The full 128-page FBI documentation of investigations and personal details of Whitney’s life, unfortunately, does not contain any new information about the singer.
Did the singer suffer from extreme paranoia? Was the drug use the cause? Its strange to hear that she sought help from the FBI on so many occassions. Interesting…
WTH: Ex-Wife Of Deceased NBA Player Blows $1 Million In 10 Months
Remember basketball player Lorenzen Wright?? In 2010, the NBA all-star was found badly decomposed in the southeast part of Memphis, Tennesee. Well, his name has popped up in the media again. Not for anything in relation to his death, but instead for an excessive amount of money his ex-wife Sherra Robinson Wright has blown.
According to Yahoo! Sports, of the $1 million life insurance settlement she received after Lorenzen’s death, Sherra has spent $973,000 of it. Before he passed, the couple finalized their divorce just four months prior to his death. In the 2009 divorce settlement, the former Mrs. Wright was granted $16,650 a month in child support for their six children, and $10,000 a month in alimony…for a total of $319,000 a year.
The untimely death of the NBA player apparently didn’t sit too well with Sherra. So much so, that his family has accused the ex-wife of mismanaging money. A recent court judement ordered a financial review of her spending habits. According to those reports, Sherra was able to blow a million dollars via the following expenses:
- $32,000 for a Cadillac Escalade
- $26,000 for a Lexus
- $69,000 on furniture
- $11,750 for a New York trip
- $339,000 for purchase and improvement to a new home
- $7,100 for a pool deposit
- $5,000 for lawn equipment
- $34,000 on legal fees
A judge has ordered an full investigation of the living conditions and welfare of the children. In addition, $184,000 of death benefits from the NBA is being routed to Herb Wright (Lorenzen’s father) for the care of the kids. According to Sherra herself, she claims that the family is financially okay and have $1.4 million in assets (a new home and three investment properties in Arkansas).
Rick Ross Wrecks Rolls Royce Escaping Gunfire
According to police and news reports Maybach Music Group boss Rick Ross has been dodging bullets.
It’s being reported that shortly after leaving a restaurant, Ross crashed his Rolls Royce into an apartment building while trying to escape what intended to be a drive-by shooting. The incident took place around 5 a.m. Monday morning in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Witnesses reported that Ross’ girlfriend Shateria was in the car with him at the time of the incident, but both were able to escape injury
All of this happened on the heels of Ross’ celebrating his 37th birthday the Sunday night at Liv nightclub. What a way to spoil a good time.
On an even more serious note…does the violence ever end? Wasn’t Pac and Biggie enough? I can’t help but wonder if Rozay’s shooting saga has anything to do with the death threats he’s received recently. For all parties involved, let’s just hope none of it is really what it seems and that this will be the end of it all. No more bloodshed please!
Concert Promoter Says Nas Was a No-Show…Sues for $10 million
Concert promoter Patrick Allocco is going for the gusto when it comes to tapping into rapper Nas’ pockets. In a recently filed lawsuit by Allocco he is demanding that Nas pay up for being a no-show at a concert he paid him for which subsequently led to him being kidnapped.
Here’s how one side of the story goes…
Patrick Allocco alleges that Nas accepted his $300,000 payment to perform at a New Year’s Eve 2011 concert in Angola, Africa but was a no-show. As a result, Allocco claims he was then kidnapped and held captive by the promoters who gave him the money. He says during the 50 days in which he was held, he was beaten and threatened repeatedly. For his pain and suffering as well as his financial downfall, Allocco is asking for…$10 million.
We’re not sure of Nas’ take of it all, but this $10 million would be a heavy price to pay for a $300,000 gig is this turns out to be true. Either way, Nas will eventually have to respond to the lawsuit so we’ll be sure to keep you posted on how this all pans out.
Fact Or Foolery: Prophets Say World Will End On December 21, 2012…
Past prophets predicts that the world will end on December 21, 2012. The prediction based on prophecies made by various cultures (i.e. Mayan, Chinese, Hopi, and Hindu) believes that 12/21 will mark the end of the world as we know it. Many documentaries has been made over the years (like the one below from the History Channel) examining the prophecy, its origin, and theory behind this date. Say it is a bunch of foolery or believable prophecy, what do you say? Could this really happen?
Check out the documentary below detailing how prophets concluded that the world will end on December 21, 2012.

Music Producer Sean Garrett Ordered to Pay AMEX $108K + IRS Wants $1 Million
Super-producer Sean Garrett…yeah the guy that has penned mega hits for Beyonce, Usher, Nicki Minaj, and countless more is now in the news. Unfortunately, Garrett was recently sued by American Express for unpaid credit debt. According to news reports, AMEX successfully sued the musical genius in court for approx. $108,000. And to add salt to the wound, the state of Georgia placed a $1,000,000 tax lien for unpaid taxes from 2006, 2007, and 2010.
No word on if Garrett paid off his tax lien debt as yet. We hope he has. Who wants to have Uncle Sam on their backs?
Jay-Z and Beyonce Denied Rights to Trademark ‘Blue Ivy’
With parents like Jay-Z and Beyonce, it was pretty much a given that their offspring, Miss Blue Ivy Carter, was already in place to become a household name without having to do anything at all. With that being said, early on it went even further with talks of the little ones’ name being trademarked for the purpose of eventually creating a line of baby products such as clothing and furniture in her name.
Well, unfortunately for the Carters, it doesn’t look like that will be happening. According to reports, the power couple was denied trademark rights for their baby girl’s name. The reason …a Boston event planning company already has the name by way of Blue Ivy Events.
Company president, Veronica Alexandra recently defended her trademark in court and won the rights to the name. Nonetheless and either way it’s not a loss for the Carters and it definitely doesn’t lessen baby Blue’s chances at getting her stacks up like mommy and daddy. We’re sure they already have another plan in motion as we speak.
By Any Means Necessary…Mystikal Has Sights On Porn Industry, If Music Don’t Pan Out
Did Mystikal’s six-year prison sentence drive him crazy??
According to TMZ, Mystikal is seriously thinking about his financial future. So much so, that he’s pondering whether he will enter the billion dollar porn industry. It’s been a minute since Mystikal was one of hip hop’s hottest artists. The former No Limit Records signeee , now Cash Money Records artist, misses the days when money wasn’t an issue. But, the reality that the younger generation may not dig his new music scares him. So, what better way to guarantee a great income…become a porno star!!
Coincidentally, Mystikal’s reason for going to join encompassed a little sexual tendencies. Is he a nemphomaniac? Who knows. But, apparently he thinks good enough to make it big in porn. SMH…get it how you live Mystikal!
SMH: Will The Sex Tape Prove Kanye West Got A Big EGO??
As I try to keep this quick and cute, there’s only one thing I’d want to learn from seeing the Kanye West “alleged” sex tape. Does he have a big “ego” or not? Ladies, and gay gents, don’t judge me! I know that is the ONLY thing you want to know too. 
Anyhoo, apparently there’s a sex tape being shopped around to several online sites of Kanye West and a Kim K look-a-like. The tape was originally sent to RadarOnline, where sources confirms that the guy in the film is indeed Kanye West. A close confidant of Wests’ claims that the highly reputable producer/rapper is in total disbelief that the tape has surfaced. Word is that Kanye is trying to pull all stunts to prevent the video from being made public.
SMH…really Kanye! Sometimes I think celebrities have no brain at all. The things they do behind close doors have the potential to be made public. We’ve seen it happen before (i.e. Kim Kardashian and Ray J’s infamous tape). So, why don’t they learn from other people’s mistakes??!! And if what they are saying is true, the tape shows Kanye talking in the camera and directing the sh*t himself. #iCant
Sex.com has put up the highest bid, at this point, of $1 million for the exclusive footage. “Kanye West is an artist, one of the world’s biggest stars, and ultimately a sex symbol which is why the curiosity of the public cannot go on,” a rep for Sex.com told AllHipHop.com. “By making a Kanye West sex-tape public, Sex.com feels that he and current girlfriend Kim Kardashian will become the first celebrity sex-tape power couple. They will be the epitome of Western tabloid culture.”
Yes, it’s all about the profit potential of Kanye’s private parts and stroke game. But, since I don’t have a milli to donate to the cause, whoever get the bootleg copy, holla at me! Also, if any ladies want to get a good bet going, email me at bels@stacksmag.net. LOL

Foolery: Old Man Samasko Jr Dies with $200 In Bank, But $7 Million In Garage
This story goes to show…the poorest man you see, may be richest man you know.
Las Vegas, Nevada resident, Walter Samasko Jr was found dead in his home after months of decaying. After the smell of a foul odor started seaping through his garage, a neighbor checked the home and found Samasko’s body. Apparently Samasko, a reclusive 69 years old, died of heart problems. Samasko has no known family.
Once his body was removed from the home and officials began searching his home, they quickly learned that Samasko was not poor. Officials found over $7 million dollars in gold bars and coins. It is not clear as to how long he’s had these items stored away. But, he definitely has a “million dollar” reason to be secretive and a recluse. It is said that Samasko only had $200 in his bank account when he died. He was heavy believer in “anti-government” and had not worked in 40 years.
Samasko’s mother passed away in 1992. She was his last known relative. But, authorities were able to track down a first cousin in California, Arlene Magdanz. No official statement has yet been made from Ms. Magdanz.

Has Trouble Brewed In The CTE Camp? Partner Files $5Million Lawsuit Against Young Jeezy
Jay “Young Jeezy” Jenkins and Demetrius “Kinky B” Ellerbee developed a tight knit friendship after serving time at a youth boot camp program in 1995. After discovering the love of music both shared, the two went on to form Young Gunz Entertainment, Inc, which later became Corporate Thugz Entertainment (CTE). Young Jeezy, even as Co-CEO, honed in on his rap skills and became the headliner for CTE. Later signing on with Def Jam Records (under the leadership of L.A. Reid and Shakir Stewart), Young Jeezy’s popularity grew via six solo albums…and millions of dollars soon followed.
Fast forward to 2012, word has hit the streets that money troubles are apparent at CTE. Demetrius Ellerbee filed a lawsuit in Fulton County Superior Court claiming that Jeezy failed to share millions of dollars in profits earned through album sales. According to the AJC, Ellerbee’s attorney Mario Breedlove says his client has not seen approximately $5 million in royalites and advances from Def Jam Records. Ellerbee’s lawsuit claims that Jeezy “misappropriated” company funds and redirected monies into his personal account.
“They were partners,” Breedlove told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Tuesday. “They started the company together. They grew the company together. And he’s entitled to one-half.”
In addition to the $5 million, Ellerbee is also seeking punitive damages and legal costs. Comments from Young Jeezy’s attorney has not been released.
Flavor Flav Need To Sell More Chicken…IRS Wants Their Money
Adding to the ever-evolving list of celebrities who owes Uncle Sam some cheese is Flavor Flav. The Public Enemy rapper/hypeman is the latest person to be featured on the IRS’s blacklist. According to TMZ, Flavor Flav owes back taxes from ’04, ’05, and ’06. Ironically, during the span of these three years, Flav was a household name starring in profitable VH1 reality shows (“The Surreal Life”, “Strange Love” and “Flavor of Love”). We guess Flav was having too much fun and forgot to pay his taxes. Oh well, time to pay up…
IRS calculations states that Flavor Flav owes $52, 243 for 2004, $303,036 for 2005, and $550, 971 for 2006. Flav better try and get another show or start touring to get this $900,000 up…ASAP!
Oh Really! Employers May Bump Up Salaries Approx. 3.0% in 2013
There are some things in this world you have to see it, before you believe it. A 2013 increase in employee base pay is one of those things.
According to CNNMoney, the constant backlash for inequality in the workplace (and pay rates being in the forefront) has companies in thoughts of raising salaries in 2013. Nowadays, companies are losing their top performers in record numbers. One bonafied way to retain these stellar employees is to bump up their pay and/or offer better incentives. In effort to show that they care, companies are expected to raise salaries up to 4.1%. Of course the top executives will see the biggest increases. But, the average-consistenly-performing employee could receive a raise as high as 3.0%.
“Employers continue to recognize that in order to attract and retain top-performing employees, they’re going to have to reward them in line with industry dynamics,” said Catherine Hartmann, head of Mercer’s compensation consulting business.
The anticipated pay raises will vary by industry as well. Cash-rich oil and gas companies are expecting to reward employees with an average increase of 4.1%, while workers in the education and healthcare sectors will see much smaller pay raises of 2.5% and 2.6%, respectively.
This is good to know. But, employees won’t believe until the check is in hand. Considering the current state of the economy, hopefully this lands true for most companies. We’ll see…

Good luck Jessica! Four million dollars is definitely motivation to lose weight.

Randy Moss Says…Gimme My Money
Day in and day out, celebrity after celebrity is being hit with one lawsuit or another. Well finally the tables have turned. This time around, a celebrity by way of NFL star Randy Moss is about to cash in…maybe. After recently winning a lawsuit filed against a former business associate, Moss has been awarded the $160K he was originally owed plus $62K in interest, fees, and penalties.
The lawsuit stemmed from a business deal gone bad after Moss loaned his associate Kelvin Jones the $160 grand to open a hair salon. The agreement reached between the two called for 96 monthly installments from Jones to repay the loan. Well according to Moss, Jones never paid him a dime and eventually stopped answering his calls. Now it looks like Mr. Jones is blowing him off again considering he brushed the lawsuit off and didn’t even bother showing up for his scheduled court appearance. With that being said, the judge ruled in Moss’ favor but who really knows when or if he’ll ever really get his money. To that we say…Good Luck!
Sh*t Just Got Real: McDonald’s Lotto Winner Says “Money’s All Mine”
The story of Mirlande Wilson and the winning lotto ticket deserves a straight-up “side eye”.
This McDonald’s worker, from Brooklyn, Maryland, was one of the lucky Americans who won in the largest lottery jackpot ever. Up for the taking was $640 million (before taxes) and Wilson and several of her coworkers pooled together…all vying for the opportunity to become rich. But, a recent turn of events got Wilson’s peers wondering “where the hell?” is the money.
See, Wilson was the one to go purchase the tickets for the group. Strangely, the winning ticket is no where to be found. She’s now claiming that the winning ticket is one that she purchased for herself and not part of the office pool. Wilson’s story is that she and a friend went later that day to the store and bought “personal” tickets. But, the co-workers who all pitched in $5 a piece believes she is dead wrong.
‘She can’t do this to us!’ said Suleiman Osman Husein, a shift manager and one of 15 members in the pool. ‘We each paid $5. She took everybody’s money!’
The initial group of tickets Wilson purchased were kept in a safe at McDonald’s. But later on, additional money was given to Wilson for her to get more tickets. The co-workers are claiming that Wilson used their money to buy the winning ticket she’s now claims is rightfully hers.
What do you think? Does Wilson’s co-workers have the right to be pissed off?
I say…HELL YES! Although there is no way to prove who’s money was used to actually purchase the ticket, Wilson had a responsibility to buy tickets for the group. The group was not informed by Wilson, via call or text, that she was at the store and was about to buy her own tickets. When you have that type of responsibility, you need to cover your butt by keeping in contact with the group. She could have texted a pic of the ticket she bought (a second after she bought it). She could have made a phone call. Apparently, she wasn’t clearly thinking. Maybe her co-workera made the wrong choice of electing her to buy tickets. Nevertheless, I believe Wilson owes them something. Even if it’s out of pure generosity, she should break them off some money.
If not, Wilson may fall in line with the rest of the lotto winners who’s experienced a lifetime of bad mojo. I’m sure, the single mother of seven kids, wouldn’t want that. SMH…
No More Singing for Musiq Soulchild…
After releasing six albums, Musiq Soulchild is taking a short hiatus from singing. He stated in an interview recently that “I’m not going to stop performing or being an artist. I do enjoy singing and all of that, but it takes away from being creative. At least with being a writer-producer you can constantly create and make music and things like that.”
His creative process has already started as we got word that Musiq’s currently working on projects for Bow Wow and Chrisette Michelle. Also, he plans to use his time wisely by writing a book on love and relationships, and evven music. It is stated that the book(s) will possibly drop sometime this summer. Musiq fans don’t worry…he still plans to perform and tour.
Good luck Musiq!

Foolery: JD Goes In On Janky Promoters At CIAA
This past weekend, over 100,000 party goers were in Charlotte, NC for the annual CIAA tournament. Instead of hitting the actual basketball games, the majority of those who visit the city real intentions are to ”party like rockstars”. From Friday night to Sunday, day parties and nightly events all go down with major celebrities being sought out by club promoters to help pack the venue. This year was no different in that NeNe Leakes, Nas, T.I. and Tiny, Tami Roman, Meek Mill, R. Kelly and also Jermaine Dupri were all in tow to do their paid gigs.
But low-and-behold, some celebrities weren’t treated as “contracted” and decided to air out their disgust via Youtube. Below is a funny video of J.D. going IN on some promoters who got a few things “f*cked up” during his stay in Charlotte:
LMAO…the part at the end about R.Kelly is hilarious!!! You can stay updated on J.D. by checking out www.global14.com or via Twitter @Mr_Dupri.
Foolery: Two Women Busted with $5000 worth of Knock-Off Nikes
Today, the AJC reported that the Gwinnett County police seized a trunk full of fake Nike shoes on I-85 in Atlanta. A total of 78 Nike boxes were found after pulling over two women for trailing too close to another car. South Carolinaians, Kotina Feaster and Jessica Pennick, were transporting fake goods and an unspecified amount of marijuana.

In addition to the Nikes, the police officer also found fake Ugg boots and a knock-off Louis Vutton bag. Collectively, the fake items were valued at $12,000.
Somebody please…get your cousins!!!!
$1 Rumors: Did Amber Rose Plot to Steal Money from Kanye??
In a recent chain of tweets, Amber’s former publicist announces that he plans to spill the beans on Ms. Rose.
Janero Marchand, of Marchand Media Group, was once Amber’s publicist and the person who introduced her to Kanye at a video shoot. The relationship apparently went sour, at some point, and now Marchand is planning on releasing a documentary detailing Amber’s plot to steal money from Kanye West.
Marchand claims that Amber owes him 20% of an $100,000 appearance fee for her participation in Ye’s ‘Robocop’ video. Also, after learning about her and her brothers plot, Janero says he didn’t want no parts of the thievary and eventually told Kanye. If music lovers remember, Kanye himself let it be known that he knew about the plan on his My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy album. In his song “Blame Game”, Kanye brings up the fact that money was indeed stolen. Peep the lyrics:
You should be grateful a nigga like me ever noticed you…
Now you noticable and can’t nobody get control of you
1 am and can’t nobody get a hold of you
I’m calling your brothers phone, like what was I supposed to do?
Even though I knew he never told the truth
He was just gon’ say whatever that you told him to
At a certain point I had to stop asking questions
Ya’ll got dirt on each other like mud wrestlers
I heard he bought some coke with my money, that ain’t right girl
You getting blackmailed for that white girl
You always said Yeezy, I ain’t your right girl
You’ll probably find one of them “I like art” type girls
All of the lights, she was caught in the hype girl
And I was satisfied with being in love with a lie
Now who to blame, you to blame, me to blame
For the pain, and it poured every time it rained
Damn…isn’t this some sh”t! Well, Janero Marchand’s documentary will reveal some juicy details about Amber and Ye’s infamous breakup and much more. The documentary entitled “The Michael Jordan of Models: This Is Janero” drops February 2012.
With all the buzz surrounding Amber’s recent allegations that Kanye cheated with Kim Kardashian and her new single “FAME”, this will only keep folks talking about Amber. I’m sure the extra publicity will be well appreciated by Ms Rose.
PS. It’s funny how Tupac’s song “Scandalous” comes to mind…lol

SWV recently announced that they will release a new album this month. Cheryl “Coko” Clemons, Tamara “Taj” Johnson-George, and Leanne “Lelee” Lyons are the three original members and will continue to be during this next phase in their careers. It has been 15 years since their last release and long over due according to their fans.
“Co-Sign” will be their first single and released under Mass Appeal Entertainment. Unfortunately, the actual song has not been leaked as of yet [or we just can't find it].
