IRV GOTTI phone tap. T.I. says it isnt true. THE GAME sees the DR. PARIS HILTON hates prenups. 50 CENT goes online. 10/18/2005 Most people have this image of PARIS HILTON as being filthy rich, and pretty much set for life. But that may not be the case. See, Paris IS in line to inherit a piece of the Hilton hotel fortune. But there are quite a few OTHER Hiltons standing in that same line, so her cut may not be as massive as we've been led to believe. And that could have something to do with why Paris broke off her engagement to Greek shipping heir PARIS LATSIS. See, Latsis is gonna inherit a TON of money. Way more than Paris Hilton. And the "National Enquirer" claims he wanted his bride-to-be to sign a PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENT that gave her very little of his fortune in the event of a divorce. Hilton's mom, KATHY HILTON, supposedly told her not to sign the prenup because it was UNFAIR. And Paris listened to her mama. Kathy also. . . allegedly. . . advised her daughter to keep the $5 million engagement ring, even though Latsis asked for it back. Even though Fox dumped "The Simple Life", PARIS HILTON says she and NICOLE RICHIE will begin filming Season Four on November 1st. And she's not worried about the show finding a home. She says, quote, "All the networks are fighting over it." A never-before-released BOB MARLEY song is going to make it onto his next greatest hits album. The song is called "Slogans", and it was apparently recorded in a bedroom in Miami in 1979. But to clean the track up before putting it on "Africa Unite: The Singles Collection", Bob's son ZIGGY MARLEY brought in ERIC CLAPTON to record a guitar part for it. "Africa Unite" is due to drop in three weeks, on November 8th. JAMIE FOXX will drop that album he's been working on. . . titled "Unpredictable". . . on December 6th. Guest stars include KANYE WEST, MARY J. BLIGE and LUDACRIS. This year's "Victoria's Secret Fashion Show" will air on CBS on Tuesday, December 6th. It'll mark TYRA BANKS' last appearance at the annual show. The Game is wasting no time as he prepares his 2006 follow-up to his debut, The Documentary. Appearing on a radio show last week The Game said he's currently working on the album, currently titled Doctor's Advocate, and plans to release it in April of next year. Game has enlisted a host of A-list producers including Dr. Dre, Kanye West, Just Blaze, Buckwild and The Justus League, among others. Wanna check out the finale from 50 CENT and G-UNIT's European tour, which went down Sunday night at Wembley Arena Pavilion in London??? Of course you do. It's streaming now, and for the next month, on two broadband web channels: MTV Overdrive and VH1 Vspot. . . so you can hit those up to see it anytime. Both of them also have a behind-the-scenes look at 50's new movie, "Get Rich or Die Tryin'". Pretty Ricky and their debut cd has just been certified Gold. But hold up, there's more!!! The group's in negotiatons to launch their very own cartoon series as well as a reality show. It's also rumored that each member will release a solo cd sometime in the future. We've got news on a whole mess of changes going down with BOYZ N DA HOOD in Atlanta. . . . YOUNG JEEZY IS OUT. There's no beef there. . . Jeezy was only signed on with them for one album. . . and now he's moving on with his solo career. . . . LIL' WAYNE IS IN. He's joining up with Big Duke, Big Gee and Jody Breeze now as an official member. Wayne WILL still be president of Cash Money Records while he works with Boyz N Da Hood. T.I. is. . . well. . . WE DON'T KNOW. Boyz N Da Hood reps say he's in. . . but his reps at Atlantic Records say he's out. . . and he's not saying anything. In recently released documents Christopher Lorenzo's attorney, Gerald Shargel, recently wrote to Judge Edward Korman to officially raise objections to prison tapes being used by the federal government in the federal money laundering and racketeering trial of rap label The Inc. The five-page filing documents Shargel's requests to suppress conversations between the Gotti brothers (Irv and Chris Lorenzo) and Kenneth "Supreme" McGriff that were recorded by The Federal Bureau of Prisons. The filing also detailed the financial hardships of The Inc. (formerly Murder Inc.), an alleged plot to kill Irv Gotti and the status of Queens, New York drug baron Lorenzo "Fat Cat" Nichols. MASE a G UNIT gangsta?? JAMIE FOXX all about the ASS!! 10/17/2005 Just a few short years ago, MADDOX JOLIE was a Cambodian orphan with almost no shot at having a decent life. Now, at 4 years old, he's #2 on the "Details" magazine list of the 50 Most Powerful Men Under 39. (???) That puts him ahead of people like LEONARDO DICAPRIO, MATT DAMON and VINCE VAUGHN. (--There's no word who beat him to the #1 spot). How did Maddox do it? By helping to break up, quote, "America's royal couple", BRAD PITT and JENNIFER ANISTON. Richard Pryor has slapped Universal Music Group with a lawsuit claiming that the conglomerate is marketing and selling 11 of his comedy albums without acquiring any licensing rights. The funnyman is seeking royalties from profits of such releases as Ain't Lied Yet, Are You Serious? and Wizard of Comedy, among others. Attorneys for Universal Music had no comment on the matter. What does JAMIE FOXX look for in a woman? Quite stereotypically, it's ALL ABOUT THE ASS. He says, quote, "The ass. The badonkadonk. The bump-ums. The show bump. The fluff-ums. All of that. Long as you got a bump. Sometimes I go out with a girl, she may not look good. Guys'll be like, 'Why?' Then they look behind her. 'Oh, because of the ass.'" Actress Lark Voorhees is doing better after a recent stay at a drug facility. Voorhees is best known for the TV show, Saved By The Bell. Voorhees was addicted to cocaine. She claims her life went out of control after her career stalled. Mase still has them talking with his G-Unit freestyles. If you haven't heard, he has a joint that dropped a couple of weeks ago called "Check Cleared" on which he's throwing a light jab at Diddy and calling Brandy a hoe (to her on again-off again boyfriend New York Knick Quentin Richardson no less). People have been calling in to New York radio stations, calling Pastor Murda a hypocrite. The G-Unit's "Energy God," Tony Yayo, says let Mase do his thing. Yayo also said he's heard new Mase material that is leaning on the more conscious side, but will be contr EDDIE MURPHY's divorce gets UGLY!! BOBBY BROWN shows up a mess! JANET JACKSON ready for a baby?? PRINCE needs surgery. 10/14/2005 DAVID BANNER is trying to launch a side career as an actor. For his first movie, "Black Snake Moan", he couldn't have had a more intimidating co-star: SAMUEL L. JACKSON. But it was all good, according to Banner. C. DeLores Tucker, political activist and long time opponent of "Gangsta Rap," died Wednesday (Oct. 12) of undisclosed causes at Suburban Woods Health and Rehabilitation Center in Norristown, Pa. Tucker, 78, spent her life fighting for civil rights. Mimi is getting emancipated — again. Mariah Carey plans to reissue The Emancipation of Mimi with four new tracks this fall, including her new hit "Don't Forget About Us." The Emancipation of Mimi: Platinum Edition, which was announced to her fan club late Thursday (October 13), will be released in two forms on November 15: as an audio CD with the four extra tracks, and as a limited-edition two-disc set with a DVD of her videos so far ("It's Like That," "We Belong Together," "Shake It Off" and "Get Your Number"). The video for "Get Your Number," featuring Jermaine Dupri, was shot originally for her European fanbase, since it was released as a single there, and this will mark its U.S. release. BOY GEORGE'S arrest last Friday which revealed 13 BAGS OF BLOW in his New York apartment. But the part that never made sense was why George would've called 911 about a burglary that never happened. . . especially since that's how the cops found "la cocaina" in the first place. Well, the not-always-reliable "New York Post" claims it has the answer. . . and it makes sense: Boy George really DID have a bona fide emergency. The MALE PROSTITUTE he'd hired for the night and brought back to his place tried to ROB HIM. George threatened to call the cops. . . the gay harlot DARED him to. . . and Boy George, all high on the snow, DID IT. There's nothing LESS rock 'n' roll than needing a HIP REPLACEMENT. . . but that's apparently what PRINCE is looking at these days. According to the not-so-reliable British tabloids, Prince. . . who's 47 years old. . . has major pain in his joints, possibly caused by years of performing in PLATFORM BOOTS. He could use a hip replacement, but his religion. . . the Jehovah's Witnesses. . . pretty much makes that impossible because they're against blood transfusions, which are part of the surgery. MSNBC says BRITNEY SPEARS' annoying mom, LYNNE, has decided to start keeping a close eye on her daughter's money. . . so KEVIN FEDERLINE can't blow through it like there's no tomorrow. Supposedly, he's been doing a lot of spending lately. . . and his latest venture is a multimillion-dollar dance school he's building with MICHAEL JACKSON'S dad, JOE. A so-called "source" says, quote, "Lynne is not about to let Kevin squander all of Britney's money." Is Janet Jackson preparing her body for a baby? Friends say the 39 year-old singer is ready for motherhood, and she has stopped her strenuous workouts. She has gained a little weight judging from recent photos. Her boyfriend, Producer Jermaine Dupri, is 33 and he would love to have a child with his lady love. The divorce is final between Omarosa and her husband of six and a half years, Aaron Stallworth, and now, he's talking. Stallworth, 28, says the former Apprentice star was the love of his life and that she let her ambition get in the way. Omarosa wants to be a star and she has no time for him. Omarosa first shot to fame on season one of The Apprentice. She was mean, nasty and she became a star. Omarosa lost out on The Apprentice title, but she went on to star in other reality shows {The Surreal Life and Fear Factor}. Stallworth's family and friends are supporting him, and he says he now realizes they did not have a happy marriage. He didn't even know what her real hair looked like. She always wore weaves. And, they were separated for more than half of their marriage. Bobby surprised a lot of people this past weekend at the 2005 Black Movie Awards. Bobby showed up looking a hot mess. He was not working just attending the show but he was dressed all wrong. Bobby had on a dirty shirt, wrinkled pants and run down shoes. People could smell his breath a mile away. What's going on with him now? Eddie Murphy has had enough of his soon to be ex-wife's antics. He wants Nicole Murphy to honor their prenuptial agreement. Eddie feels it is valid and fair. There is no need for her to get half his fortune and squander it on her new man. He has also ordered her to keep their five kids away from her boyfriend. The boyfriend in question, Alan Daniels, has a shady past, and Eddie is worried about his fortune. He does not want his hard earned money in the hands of this man. Nicole wants her fair share. After 12 years of marriage and five kids, she feels she deserves half of his fortune. Eddie is not playing with Nicole, and the divorce has taken another nasty turn. Nicole's parents have been living in a house Eddie brought in Sacramento. Eddie is now in the process of selling the house and Nicole's parents, who have been living there for years, have to get out. They are devastated, and now they have to find a new place to live. The Murphy divorce will probably be one of the nastiest in Hollywood history. *****EXCLUSIVE*** do FANTASIA and KEYSHIA COLE have beef?? NELLY and ASHANTI did the do?? EMINEM set free! 10/13/2005 Instead of trying to figure out how to make PARIS HILTON and NICOLE RICHIE get along for a fourth season of "The Simple Life", Fox made the decision yesterday to CANCEL THE SHOW. Fox executives aren't saying their decision has anything to do with the feud, though. Their official word is that there's just no room on the schedule for it. But "Us Weekly" found some so-called "sources" who are saying what we all know: The show was scrapped due to Paris and Nicole's BEEF. The magazine also claims that Nicole's ALARMING WEIGHT LOSS was a factor. However. . . 20th Century Fox Television. . . the studio that produces the show. . . is already shopping it to another network. And they hope to be able to announce a new partner within DAYS. SPIKE LEE will produce and direct an HBO documentary about the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. The working title of the show is "When the Levee Broke". . . but that's about all HBO will say about it at this time. Known for his charitable work and philanthropic contributions, rapper Nelly has received his own star on the St. Louis Walk of Fame. The Star is given to St. Louis natives whose accomplishments have had a national impact on the cultural heritage of St. Louis. The honor is a first for the Grammy-award winning rapper and the St. Louis, Missouri native will be the youngest inductee for the St. Louis Walk of Fame. USHER just got a gig in a new movie, in which he'll play the younger version of a character also played by MORGAN FREEMAN. Usher wouldn't give up too many details, except to say that Freeman will probably direct it. . . and that Morgan Freeman himself went after Usher to play the younger version of his character. Here's what Usher WOULD say. . . quote, "I play an assassin. I play him in retrospective. I play him as a younger character, and it takes place in Cuba." Roughly two months after checking himself into Detroit's Brighton Hospital for an addiction to sleep medication, Eminem has been released and is ready to hit the studio. Sources say Slim Shady spent three weeks in the rehabilitation center and spent an additional three weeks in the hospital's outpatient program, completing his treatment in late September. Em opted to go the rehab after six weeks on the Anger Management 3 tour. As The Inc.'s October 24 trial date approaches for money laundering, more details are coming out about Kenneth "Supreme" McGriff and his planned defense. According to recently released documents, McGriff told The Inc.'s Christopher "Gotti" Lorenzo that he would seek the assistance of Sean "Diddy" Combs and Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter to help fund his defense against racketeering, narcotics and murder charges. The Federal Bureau of Prisons caught McGriff's conversation with Lorenzo on an Apr. 29 call from a Brooklyn, New York Federal prison stating that he planned to send letters to both moguls, which would be delivered by his defense team. Lorenzo agreed this would be a good strategy since Combs and Carter both allegedly asked about McGriff's well being. In other transcripts, Supreme and Gotti discuss Nelly and his relationship with Ashanti, confirming rumors that the two entertainers were romantically involved. After analyzing Nelly's album sales and giving him props, McGriff and Gotti spoke on rumors that Irv and Nelly were feuding over Ashanti. "Irv and Nelly ain't even an enemy. It's just cause of all the bullshit with him and Ashanti, he, he made to believe like he's the enemy, but he's not," Chris Gotti explained to McGriff during the talk. McGriff then proceeded to inquire about the status of Nelly and Ashanti's relationship. "So, so, is, is Ashanti still fucking with him?" Supreme asked before Gotti replied, "Nigga, I don't know. Yo, if I knew I would say she's probably still fucking the nigga, but, you know, who cares." IN THE LOOP Now the beef all began when Keyshia Cole was hosting 106 n Park and introduced Fantasia as "the girl that won American Idol Fantasia" well Fantasia didn't like that and stated to Keyshia that she was more than just an American Idol winner that she had accomplished a lot more than that. Well in return Keyshia didn't like Fantasia's attitude. For those of you that don't know, Keyshia is a ghetto gangsta girl FOR REAL!! Fantasia had crazy attitude and caused a big riff amongst the two camps but I guess when she realized that Keyshia might be giving her a beatdown Fantasia apologized but at that point Keyshia had already felt disrespected and wasn't trying to hear an apology. And it almost came to blows Tuesday night at the Kanye West show here in the M-I-A. according to my LOOP SPIES backstage Keyshia stated something like that she didn't think that she'd make it to the end of the tour without giving MISS BARRINO an ass whoopin!! When Keyshia was told to chill out and just do her thing on the tour she basically replied, "fuck that Im paying Kanye to be on this tour, he's not paying me!!" well all I can say is Fantasia better go take some self defense classes!! MICHAEL JACKSON and JAY Z??? DMX in court. who might be BRITNEY SPEARS' nanny? IRV GOTTI and THE INC under a microscope!! COMMON pulls out?? JAMIE FOXX gives in to BEYONCE!! 10/12/2005 The nominees for the 2005 VIBE Awards have been announced with Ciara leading the nominations, which include Kanye West, Mariah Carey and John Legend. Ciara received a total of five nominations after the honors were announced on Monday. Ciara, Carey, Legend, 50 Cent and West will compete for Artist of the Year. When JAMIE FOXX originally bagged on the movie version of the Broadway musical, "Dreamgirls", it was because the producers wouldn't meet his salary demands. But he's back in the movie. . . at that reduced rate. . . because BEYONCÉ and EDDIE MURPHY have agreed to be in it. Jamie says, quote, "The first time, it was just me in the movie, no Eddie Murphy, no Beyoncé. Then I hear Eddie's doing it, and I'm like, 'Hey, pay me a dollar.' I hear Beyoncé doing it; 'Pay me a quarter'. I just wanted to be part of that." DMX's case was adjourned today (Oct. 11), as the rapper faced charges of violating the conditions of his release after he was involved in a car crash last year at Kennedy Airport in New York. Under terms of a conditional discharge, DMX could be sent to prison if he receives any violations within a year. While the Yonkers-bred rapper, whose real name is Earl Simmons, remained silent as the judge suspended his case until Oct. 25, he was reportedly chewing gum and jumping around as he spoke to reporters, calling the charges "ludicrous." Once his case was adjourned, DMX was also seen dancing down the steps of the Queens Criminal Court building, according to the Associated Press. "It's been very stressful," he said. "Nobody likes to come to court."After his court appearance, DMX promoted his upcoming movie "Last Hours" and album Here We Go Again, due out in December. BRITNEY SPEARS and KEVIN FEDERLINE have hired a nanny for their new baby boy, Sean Preston. And her name is. . . SHAR JACKSON. That's right. . . the woman who birthed Kevin's first two babies has supposedly taken a job watching his third. A so-called "source" says, quote, "Shar was the first person Britney turned to when Kevin started going out partying and playing golf, instead of looking after her and their new baby. Shar suspects Kevin is envious of the amount of time Britney spends with her son. So she's looking after Sean to give Britney more time with Kev. They hope that by uniting all of his children under one roof, and creating a cozy, domestic atmosphere, he'll want to spend more time at home." Less than a WEEK before it kicks off, COMMON has dropped COMPLETELY out of KANYE WEST's Touch the Sky tour. But, these are two of the more enlightened rappers in the game, so there's no manufactured BEEFS and dis tracks that are going to come out of this. Common got a movie role. . . and the schedule is going to keep him from doing any dates with Kanye. (--Common didn't say what the movie is he's shooting.) Kanye says he would've loved Common to be on the tour, but he supports his decision. FANTASIA and KEYSHIA COLE will still be his opening acts. . . and to fill the void from Common, Kanye will just perform MORE SONGS. As the impending Oct. 24 money laundering and racketeering trial looms over The Inc (formerly The Inc.) and the Gotti brothers (Irv and Chris Lorenzo), the Federal government slowly begins to reveal its case against the once powerful label. In response to a motion by the Gotti brothers' lawyer to declare the search of Irv's offices unconstitutional, the Federal government filed a 50-page memorandum in opposition to suppress the evidence. The memorandum outlines for the very first time, the case against Irv and Chris Gotti in great detail. The Federal trial is set to begin on Oct. 24. Previously unreleased details from both Irv and Chris Gotti are expected to surface in "Queens Reigns Supreme," a new book by Ethan Brown, which reveals the history of Queens drug dealers and the music industry. IN THE LOOP We know that Def Jam took Mariah on and we have to applaud LA Reid for that. Now, will he do the same for one Michael Jackson? That's what I am hearing might be going down. This would be great! Kanye produces it, Jay markets it and LA approves the final product. a capture in the murder of BIENIE SIGEL's stepdad. will BOBBY and WHITNEY be back? MONIQUE does it two times! LIL WAYNE does a video. 10/11/2005 MSNBC just finished up a HUGE sex survey of more than 56,000 Americans, ages 18 to 70. . . and MY GOD, PEOPLE. . . we need to not only improve safe sex; we have to eliminate STUPID SEX. --Only 39% of people say they ALWAYS discuss HIV status or STDs with a new partner before they have relations with them. . . . . . 31% say they NEVER bring it up. . . . 24% only do when they DON'T KNOW THE PERSON THAT WELL. --48% of WOMEN say they always discuss STDs before throwing down. . . versus only 33% of MEN. --BLACK people are the most likely to discuss STDs before sex, at 44%. . . . . . 40% of HISPANICS always discuss it. . . . and just 38% of WHITE people always do. --66% of people admit they've had UNPROTECTED relations under the influence of ALCOHOL. . . --26% of people say they've had unprotected relations under the influence of DRUGS. --25% of men and 13% of women say they've had more than 25 SEXUAL PARTNERS in their lives. . Here's more of that so-called "dignity" and "respect" PARIS HILTON gives her fiancés when she breaks up with them: According to the not-always-reliable "New York Post", Paris broke up with PARIS LATSIS. . . by PHONE. . . and she let her rebound-guy, STAVROS NIARCHOS listen in on the call!!!

The thing's going to be filled with ALL his biggest hits. . . including "My Name Is", "Stan" and "Lose Yourself". . . plus at least two brand new tracks. Since the album's called "Curtain Call". . . and since there've been reports that Eminem may be retiring or taking a long break from making music. . . people are saying this might be the last Eminem album we see for a while. MO'NIQUE gave birth to twin boys last Monday. Mo'Nique and her fiancé, Sidney Hicks, blessed their baby boys with perhaps the most NORMAL first names in all of showbiz. They named them. . . are you ready for this???. . . JONATHAN and DAVID. New Orleans, Louisiana rapper Lil Wayne recently finished up shooting his video "Fireman" on location in both New Orleans and Houston, Texas. "It's been a very tough month," Lil Wayne said. "I put everything I had into this song, and now the video, hopefully as an inspiration to everyone who wants to see New Orleans come back bigger and badder than ever." Lil Wayne, President of Cash Money Records, also recently launched his own label Young Money Entertainment through Cash Money Records. "Fireman" is taken from Wayne's upcoming fifth album title Tha Carter II. Lil Wayne will embark on a tour of the United States in November with Young Jeezy and T.I. No release date was available for Tha Carter II as of press time. Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston provided us with a multitude of memorable moments over the summer, courtesy of their hit reality show, "Being Bobby Brown." But Bobby says that reports of a second season may be premature. "I'm just waiting. If they give me enough money, I'll do it," Bobby said of the show's host network, Bravo. "They say it's a done deal, but they ain't give me enough money yet, so I'ma wait for it." When asked if he had any regrets over the warts-and-all footage aired last season, he said: "I have no regrets in my life. Police have arrested a man in connection with the murder of Beanie Sigel's step-father, according to published reports. Kevin Green, 22, was charged Monday (Oct. 10) with shooting Sigel's stepfather, Samuel Derry, Jr., then setting him on fire, police said. Derry's body was discovered last Tuesday (Oct. 4) in Cedarbrook, Philadelphia. Green is currently incarcerated in Montgomery County on an unrelated charge. According to Philadelphia's Action News, police said Derry's murder was drug related and had no connection to Sigel, who was subpoenaed by a federal grand jury last week for a reportedly unrelated cause. an update in BIENIE SIGEL's step dad. DR DRE gives. PAUL WALL fronts! 10/07/2005 If TOM CRUISE'S first biological child is born in accordance with the rules of Scientology, KATIE HOLMES is in for a hell of a labor. According to the "New York Daily News", Scientology forbids the use of drugs during delivery. . . and also frowns upon the mother SCREAMING during the birthing process. (???) See, a SILENT BIRTH is preferred, because it is believed that the newborn child can be traumatized by hearing its mother groan or cry. In his book, "Dianetics", Scientology founder L. RON HUBBARD writes, quote, "Maintain silence in the presence of birth to save the sanity of the mother and the child and safeguard the home to which they will go." Dr. Dre has donated $1 million to 50 hurricane victims. According to World Entertainment News Network, Dr Dre made his donation through the Julia C. Hester House, a Texas organization which will give $20,000 each to 50 families in need. The families were chosen after a needs assessment based on criteria established by Dre. Pretty much EVERYONE has picked up PAUL WALL's album "The People's Champ". . . which means that pretty much everyone has seen Paul Wall's OFF-THE-HOOK FRONTS. If you haven't seen 'em, on his album cover, Paul is wearing $29,000 worth of platinum and diamonds over his teeth. AND, he rhymes about 'em in "Sittin' Sidewayz". . . "Say cheese and show my fronts / It's mo karats than Bugs Bunny's lunch." And now, Paul is thinking about taking the platinum-and-diamond-front business into seriously uncharted waters: Making them for teenagers who need BRACES. He says, quote, "We're still trying to figure out ways to put diamonds on braces but, as of right now, we haven't really found a way so the braces are still effective and on par hygienically. Former Junior Mafia members Lil' Kim and Lil' Cease continued their battle over a tell-all DVD about Lil' Kim's perjury trial yesterday (Oct. 5) in court. Lawyers for Lil' Kim have been given until next Wednesday to convince a New York judge that former group member Lil' Cease should not release "The Chronicles of Junior Mafia Part II: Reloaded," which features the Junior Mafia's version of incidents in Lil' Kim's perjury trial. Today is a day of vindication for WESLEY SNIPES. DNA tests earlier this month have shown that he DID NOT FATHER A CRACK BABY!!! It was another man's essence that led to the creation of the 4-year-old boy that a former CRACK WHORE had been claiming was Wesley's. Snipes has been denying all along that he fathered a child with 33-year-old Indiana drug addict Lanise Pettis. And while she claims to have known Wesley ALL HER LIFE, Wesley claims he's never even met her, let alone tapped her action. But it didn't help his case that he was too stubborn to submit to a DNA test to prove it. Well, Wesley's attorney told the "New York Daily News" that the REAL crack-baby-daddy was found after another man was given a paternity test. . . and authorities in New York City have dropped the arrest warrant they issued for Snipes when he refused to be tested. Details behind the execution-style murder of Beanie Sigel's stepfather Sam Derry continues to unravel. Wallace Moody, Derry's friend who was abducted from his Philadelphia house yesterday, received treatment for a bruised eye, and burns on his arms and hand at Philadelphia's Einstein Medical Center after he was freed by his captures late last night. According to reports, Moody was torched by his abductors. Sources also say that both Derry and Moody's houses were recently burglarized, with the robbers stealing an undetermined amount of raw cocaine. Cops fear a drug-gang war may be brewing. BIENIE SIGEL'S step dad murdered!! BABYFACE and wife call it QUITS! SHAQ goes to the movies. 10/06/2005 For 26 years, KATIE HOLMES kept her virginity. Not a bad record for this vicinity. But we now know that TOM CRUISE tapped that action, because Katie is WITH CHILD. "People" magazine broke the news yesterday, and Tom's rep CONFIRMED it, saying, quote, "Tom and Katie are very excited, and the entire family is very excited." This will be the first BIOLOGICAL child for both of them. Katie, an alleged VIRGIN when she started dating Tom last spring, has no kids, obviously. Tom is the father to 12-year-old Isabella and 10-year-old Conor, both of whom he adopted with his then-wife, NICOLE KIDMAN. SHAQUILLE O'NEAL and DR. PHIL will star in the opening scene of "Scary Movie 4". They'll be chained together in a dirty bathroom in a takeoff of last year's surprise horror hit, "Saw". Dr. Phil says, quote, "The way to get out is you've got to cut body parts off to get loose, so he and I are wondering which one of us will wind up doing it." "Scary Movie 4" will be in theaters next April. NOREAGA's already on JAY-Z's Def Jam label. . . and now, he's ALSO signed with Jay-Z's Roc-La-Familia label. The reason: He's making two albums. . . a hip-hop one for Def Jam, and a REGGAETON one for Roc-La-Familia. Nore says, quote, "I am both black and Latino, so this is important to me to embrace both sides, and that is why I am releasing two different albums." REDMAN's new album, "Red Gone Wild" drops on November 15th. . . and it's got cameos from Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Ludacris and Ghostface. BUT. . . take this for what it's worth. . . there's no sign of Redman's boy, METHOD MAN, ANYWHERE on the joint. HBO just wrapped up a deal with WYCLEF JEAN. . . to produce and star in a comedy series that's loosely based around his life. It's in the very, VERY early stages of development; Wyclef and a few professional writers are working on the basics right now. Clef will also write and produce original music for the series. R Kelly is planning to release chapters 1-12 of his Trapped In The Closet on DVD on November 1st. The DVD will feature never before seen footage. After hearing reports of his wife being trapped in their house, I'm not as excited about this project. Add Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds and his wife to the growing list of celebrity bust-ups. Edmonds and his wife Tracey issued a statement Wednesday announcing the end of their marriage after 13 years. They have two young children.

We remain best friends," said the couple, who have also produced movies and television shows together, including Soul Food. A Miami judge recently issued a 26-page opinion stating that Slip-N-Slide Records has the right to release an album that rapper Pitbull recorded prior to signing with the New York based, TVT Records. The judge ruled that Slip-N-Slide has the right to issue the album Welcome to the 305, as long as it has a label affixed to the cover, stating that the release contains previously recorded material. Pitbull recorded the contested songs in 2001 for Slip-N-Slide prior to signing with TVT Records.
