CASH MONEY comes to an end?? SHYNE gets no love! UNCLE LUKE is lookin for a freak! June 16, 2005 Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam have pushed Kanye West's sophomore album, Late Registration back to August 16. The album was initially expected to release on July 12. Jamie Foxx, John Legend and Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Dhani Jones are among the celebs considered to be the Hottest Bachelors 2005 by People magazine. Pictures of all the hunks are featured in the publication, along with a few words about what makes them sizzle. The special annual issue hits newsstands Friday. In his only statement following his acquittal on child-molestation charges, Michael Jackson says, "Thank you to my family, friends and fans for all of your love and support." Meanwhile, Jacko's accuser is having a "difficult time" dealing with the verdicts, according to prosecutor Tom Sneddon. Finally, the Jackson family reportedly is pitching a six-episode reality series to various television networks, including ABC, Fox and the A&E Network. Luther Campbell will be teaming up with Urban Box Office (UBO) to travel all over America to find Mrs. Freaky Soul 2005. Uncle Luke is searching for the new spokesmodel for his upcoming CD/DVD audio book, Luke Campbell's Soup For The Freak Soul: The Sexploits of Uncle Luke. The lucky lady will have the opportunity to go on tour with the Godfather of Southern Hip-Hop himself, appear on television, radio and in magazines, receive $5,000 and other prizes. Two years after the initial verdict, the U.S. 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed TVT's interference and fraud claims against Island/Def Jam and will walk away with $126,720. Originally filed in August 2002, the suit stems from Def Jam blocking the release of TVT's Cash Money Click album, which features Ja Rule and Irv Gotti. The suit said that Ja and Gotti received permission from Lyor Cohen to do the album. TVT Records spent $1 million producing and promoting the album for the Cash Money Click project. One of those songs appeared on Irv Gotti Presents The Inc. without TVT's consent. In May 2003 a jury sided with TVT's claims that Def Jam interfered with this agreement and on Tuesday awarded TVT $108 million in punitive damages and $24 million in compensatory damages, one of the largest awards in music industry history. In August 2004 the sum was reduced to $54 million. Now the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York concluded that TVT's claims for interference and fraud lacked sufficient evidence and will only award TVT $126,720. TVT's attorney said in a statement that the company will appeal the court's decision. Yesterday, Jamal "Shyne" Barrow lost his chance for a new trial for the Club NYC shooting in 1999. A five-member panel of a state appeals court ruled unanimously that the jury verdict finding Shyne guilty of firing his gun in Club NYC was supported by evidence provided at the first trial in 2001. Well its being said in the industry loop that Mannie Fresh has left MICHAEL JACKSON INNOCENT!! 50 CENT does a positive thing! USHER gives back to the kids. LIL JON PUNKS who?? June 14, 2005 After a week of deliberation, the jury in Michael Jackson's child-molestation trial found the pop star innocent of all 10 criminal counts, including conspiracy to commit child abduction, attempted lewd act on a child and administrating alcohol to enable child molestation. Several family members were with Jacko in the Santa Maria, Calif., courtroom as the verdicts were read. Barry Bonds may not be playing baseball at the moment, but the San Francisco Giants slugger has come out swinging against accusations that he's a racist. According to retired White Sox player Ron Kittle's new book, Barry once said that he wouldn't sign autographs for white people. "Tell [Ron] he's an idiot," fumed Barry on Thursday. "I was married to a woman who was white, so let's get real." Cam'ron is launching his own clothing line called Vavali. "My clothing line is...coming straight out of Italy," Cam'ron explained to AllHipHop.com. "I'm not doing a sports clothing line. I'm doing a straight up couture clothing line." Vivali, which Cam says means "I'm fly" in Italian, is available in select stores in Harlem, NY now. Usher will hold a fund-raiser July 8 in New York to help raise money for his nonprofit organization New Look Foundation, which helps at-risk youngsters develop important life skills. The R&B humanitarian also plans to open his sports-and-entertainment youth camp July 23 in Atlanta. "It's important [for] me to show these kids . . . a new look for the future," says Usher. 50 Cent's G-Unity foundation has just donated 10 scholarships worth $31,000 to Queensborough Community College in Bayside, Queens, New York. The scholarships will cover one year's tuition and a $300 book stipend. The Jamaica, Queens rapper attended Andrew Jackson High School in Cambria Heights in his native borough. The school is now called Campus Magnet High School. According to G-Unity consultant Nina Biggar, Fiddy dropped out, but later obtained his GED. According to director of development Laura Kotkin, the scholarships will be awarded to Campus Magnet High School students and two students from Queens' Springfield Gardens High School and Hillcrest High School. Since 50 wants the scholarships to go to "forgotten" students, applicants need only a minimum high school average of 70 or C to be eligible. Ashton Kutcher and MTV were really upset when one of their "Punk'd" missions - with rapper Lil Jon - backfired. Apparently MTV and Ashton spent a lot of money and months planning a secret operation. Lil Jon was supposed to be on a private plane to Las Vegas, but customs agents claimed he and his entourage were boarding a plane bound for Ecuador. Lil Jon was onto them within minutes. He recognized some of the actors posing as security, told Ashton to come out from the back of the plane, and said, "Come on, you can't punk the motherf--ing King of Crunk!" is T.I. getting married??

They wanted to do another album yrs ago but Kandi wanted to do her solo thing, so Kandi said if her album does good she's not coming back, so the cd flopped and they asked her again if she was coming back she said only if she gets to write atleast 7 songs, they said no and thought she was being greedy.

Chris Tucker has turned down starring in the movie, Rush Hour 3. He was set to join Jackie Chan in the movie, and get a $20 million payday. There's no word on why he turned down the part, or if someone else will take over his role. A paid informant who alleged to police and the FBI that the murder of rapper Notorious B.I.G. was a conspiracy hatched by Death Row boss Marion "Suge" Knight and a rogue Los Angeles Police Department officer has changed his tune. The man, who now identifies himself as a lifelong paranoid schizophrenic and known as Psycho Mike, has admitted under oath that his elaborate story was "all hearsay," according to the Los Angeles Times. Psycho Mike's deposition was in connection to a wrongful-death lawsuit filed by Biggie's estate, his mother, Volleta Wallace, and other relatives, against the city of Los Angeles. The suit claims that LAPD officials covered up the police's role in the rapper's death and is demanding unspecified monetary damages. The suit is set to go to trial in U.S. District Court on June 14. A number of women who claim they were victims of an allegedly handsy Bill Cosby will not have their identities shielded by a gag order in the actor's sexual molestation case. A federal judge on Thursday denied the gag order motion filed by Cosby's team to keep secret the names of other potential witnesses who allege similar assaults. Robreno said those women could, however, seek confidentiality on an individual basis and he gave them 10 days to do so. The judge ruled that the allegations against Cosby by the other women may cause the actor serious embarrassment, but that alone did not justify a gag order. Singer Lauryn Hill almost got an employee fired at a carpet and home store. The employee went to assist Lauryn, who was looking around the store, and she made the mistake of calling her, "Lauryn." Lauryn flew into a rage and demanded to see the store manager. She told them she is to be addressed as "Ms. Hill." Even More Dirt Archive: Mar 05 | Apr 05 | May 05 | Jun 05 | Jul 05 | Aug 05 |
