Chris Brown Requests Lift On Rihanna Restraining Order


Chris Brown appeared in an LA courtroom on Friday for a routine progress report in the Rihanna assault case and requested a lift on his restraining order. While the restraining order is still in place, Chris is not allowed to come within 100 yards of Rihanna, except for at special events (such as Award Shows), it is minimized to 10 yards.
Chris hopes to obtain the lift in time for next month’s Grammy Awards where he is up for 3 awards.   Last year, when Chris showed up at the BET Awards, Rihanna was not present and the award shows that she decided to attend, he opted to stay home.  However, both are up for Grammys and his lawyer explained to the judge that the restraining order makes it difficult for the both of them to attend.  Organizers would probably have to pay close attention to seating and their teams would have to make sure they completely avoided coming within 10 yards of each other which would be an uncomfortable situation for such a big night.
The judge did not immediately grant his request but did suggest a modification with the approval of Rihanna’s attorney who requested to speak to Rihanna first. If Rihanna agrees, then the restraining order will more than likely be modified before the show

NBA Stuntman Accidentally Slam Dunks Himself


In what could have been an eye-popping freak accident, an NBA stuntman accidentally slammed dunked himself during a third quarter stunt at the Phoenix Suns game last night. According to reports,
Nick Corrales scored a basket using his own body during a timeout in the third quarter of the game at US Airways Center. In a release from the Phoenix Suns, the organization said Corrales soared off of a trampoline and averted an epic disaster to slam dunk himself.”
Apparently, he came off of the trampoline to high but was able to avoid crashing into the backboard by instead dunking himself into the hoop.

Busted! Memphis Grizzlies Guard OJ Mayo Suspended 10 Games For Steriod Use!



Damn, we knew that Baseball and Football players were gettin’ it in, but the NBA???
I know what you are thinking, because it is the same thing I am thinking.
After Tony Allen laid the smack down to Mayo on the team plane, he decided he needed some enhancement for round 2. Showing that he isn’t a good fighter or steroid user he got caught.
Since the NBA drug policy is a bit relax, Mayo will only get suspended for 10 games and no one will care.
Our society is a bit hypocritical like that.
MLB player takes roids it can keep him out of the Hall of Fame.
NFL player takes roids it is good for jokes, but that is about this.
NBA player takes roids it is forgotten soon as I hit the published button.
Funny how that works.
The steroid that Mayo got caught with is called Dehydroepiandrosterone. Here is the definition.
DHEA has been implicated in a broad range of biological effects in humans and other mammals. It acts on the androgen receptor both directly and through its metabolites, which include androstenediol and androstenedione, which can undergo further conversion to produce the androgen testosterone and the estrogens estrone and estradiol. DHEA is also a potent sigma-1 agonist. It is considered a neurosteroid.
I have no clue what any of that means, let me call Roger Clemens.
Word is that the 10 games that OJ Mayo will miss will cost him right around 400 stacks, that’s gotta hurt. Better keep an eye on what’s in those pills pimpin!

Taraji P. Henson Is Looking For A Man

 
Taraji1

Taraji P Henson is on the market [after Khloe Kardashian snatched up her ex] and she’s looking for a boo. Last night, she stopped by “The Chelsea Lately Show” to chop it up about her new projects and revealed what she is looking for in Mr. Right.
Taraji
On what she’s looking for in a man:
I like [them] tall. You don’t have to be so tall, but taller than me in these shoes. I just like to feel protected. I just want some big old arms to crawl into but you also have to have a brain. And when I say man, I mean, there are men who are disguised as men, but they’re really little boys. They’re not developed yet. Ladies am I right? So when I say man, I don’t mean, you just come with your male member.
I just want a good guy who just makes me laugh. I would rather him be behind the scenes or in business. Let me be the talent because sometimes when your in a relationship doing the same thing it can get kind of competitive, and being an entertainer, its all about “love me, love me, love me” and i can’t do a man thats always screaming “love me, love me, love me”. I honestly don’t take myself that seriously! You know I look at what I do as a job but it doesnt mean I’m better than anybody or that you should rush me to the front of the line. At the end of the day, its what pays the bills so the other stuff I dont put to much [emphasis] on it.

New Video: Nicki Minaj ft Drake – Moment For Life





Nicki Minaj premiered the anticipated video for “Moment 4 Life” via MTV earlier tonight. The video which Drake described as a “fantasy”, plays off of the theme of Cinderella. Nicki Minaj introduces her alter ego Martha as her “fairy godmother” and of course, the video wouldn’t be complete without a kiss as the clock struck at midnight.
Sidenote: The exchange between Martha and Nicki at the beginning was the highlight of the video. Too funny

Chelsea Handler Broke 50 Cent’s Heart….

chelsea handler 50 cent in bed

Wow this sounds “interesting”:
Comedian, TV host…man-eater? A source tells the new issue of Us Weekly (on stands now) that Chelsea Handler dumped 50 Cent just before the holidays, leaving the 35-year-old rapper “heartbroken.” Determined to win her back, 50 Cent — who was first spotted canoodling with the Chelsea Lately host in October — “spent Christmas sending her gifts, but she sent them back. She put a note on one that said, ‘I can buy my own gifts.’”
Though both Handler, 35, and 50 Cent recently attended the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, a reconciliation was the last thing on the Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang author’s mind. According to an eyewitness, Handler had already set her sights on Uma Thurman’s ex, hotelier Andre Balazs, 54. “They snuck kisses” at Bing Bar on January 22, the source says of the two. Handler and Balazs were later spotted partying at Tao before leaving together at 2:30 a.m.
“Chelsea and Andre are dating,” a Handler pal confirms to Us. “He’s exactly her type.”

Diddy Sued For $900 Billion, Woman Claims He Knocked Down The World Trade Center



Diddy Sued For $900 BillionDiddy is no stranger to lawsuits, but the latest suit against him may be the oddest one he's ever faced.
The Hip-Hop mogul who's overseas promoting his Last Train To Paris album, has been hit with a $900 billion lawsuit by Valerie Joyce Wilson Turks.
In the suit Turks accuses Diddy, his girlfriend Kim Porter and L.A. beating victim Rodney King of being responsible for the 9/11 collapse of the Twin Towers.
Radar Online obtained a copy of the suit that reads,
[Diddy] went through Kim Porter and Rodney King and knocked down the WTC and then they all came and knocked my children down…Set me up to be on disability and disabled my baby. he put my baby in a wheelchair.”

Turks also claims that Diddy fathered her child and stole a “chip” from her at a casino.
“Plus I won a lot of money at the casino in Mississippi and Sean P. Diddy Combs has my chip to my money. I heard he gave it to Gwen Allen to hold but she can not cash it in…I want my chip please help me. it's well worth over 100 zillions of dollars, and my hospital keys. They put me and my baby in the hospital and broke my baby 2 legs and sexual assaulted my children and crushed us.”

Author Terry McMillan Thinks That Willow & Jaden Smith Are Getting Pimped


Terry McMillan sure wasn’t pleased about the news that Willow Smith may be playing “Annie” in a remake produced by Will Smith and Jay-z.  The outspoken and opinionated author took to her twitter earlier today to express her feelings on The Smith children who she believes are being pimped and exploited:
The Smith children already act like child stars. There’s an arrogance in their demeanor and behavior. I find it incredibly sad. It feels like the Smith children are being pimped and exploited. Or, they’re already hungry for fame. What about 4th grade?
A lot of A-list movie stars shielded their children from the Hollywood-world until they were old enough to decide. Look at those who didn’t. Look at Lindsay. Phoenix. To name but a few. They miss out on childhood. It’s more important than fame.
These kids don’t already know what they “love”. Total bullshit. They’re not prodigies. They think Hollywood is real.
Why don’t they do a remake of The Little Rascals and call it a day? Or, come up with an original film with some ethnic pride. Come on.
Okay. I’ve said enough about the Smith children. I’m not debating about them. It’s just my opinion. People can justify anything, though.
In 4th grade my son came home complaining that the kids in his school said I was famous and rich. I told him that was not true. That some of my books were popular but not everybody liked them. That we could afford a vacation. “Oh” he said, and went back & repeated it. I wanted him to think of me as his mother. He didn’t read any of my novels until he was 15. He only read 26 pages. Was bored.
Have a wonderful Wednesday everybody. I raised my son. I’m not wasting another minute worrying about how Will & Jada are raising their kids.
P.S. I loved the Karate Kid.
I understand where Terry McMillan is coming from but I also applaud Will and Jada for 1)keeping their kids busy 2) letting them fulfill their dreams & 3) being parents. They are probably with their kids more than most parents, some who may have to work 2 jobs to make ends meet .
Now, whether their kids are being exploited is debatable.


 

Jay-z and Will Smith Partner To Bring “Annie” To The Big Screen (Starring Willow Smith)


Overbrook Entertainment partners Will & Jada Pinkett Smith have recently partnered with Jay-z to develop major motion picture films and one of the current projects being discussed is the re-make of “Annie” starring Willow Smith. According to a press release from Roc Nation, the partnership began over dinner with Jada, Will, and Jay-z, where they decided to co-invest in the successful product line Carol’s Daughter. They continued this partnership as co-producers of the successful Broadway production Fela!, which earned a total of eleven Tony Award nominations last year.
The time is right to bring back Annie to the big screen. Of course, we’re true believers in Willow’s talent and believe she will be perfect in this role,” said Columbia Pictures President Doug Belgrad of the project. Jay-z added, “The Overbrook Entertainment family and I have a unified vision. We’ve already produced a Tony Award winning play and we’re developing a true superstar in Willow. This venture into film development and production is a perfect next step with teams that are accomplished, creative, and innovative.
Will Smith’s Overbrook Entertainment has produced films that have generated over $2.5 billion in revenue. Some of the films include Ali, Hitch, Pursuit of Happyness, I am Legend, Hancock, Secret Lives of Bees and the recent remake of The Karate Kid (starring Jaden Smith). Jay-z sampled the classic Annie song “It’s a Hard Knock Life” on the Vol 2…Hard Knock Life album and recently signed Willow Smith to his Roc Nation imprint, so the collaboration seem to be a no-brainer.
All I want to know is, how can I get in on all of this money that Will, Jada, Jay-z and Beyonce are making.

Kanye West Encouraged Kim Kardashian To Sing




 

The time is almost here for Kim Kardashian to premiere her video for the song “Turn It Up,” directed by Hype Williams and produced by the Dream. She tells MTV that Kanye West was one of the main people who encouraged her to sing:
Kanye came to see the store and check out what we were doing in New York City. He’s someone we look up to and just think as like, in the fashion world … someone that we’ve always just taken advice from. He wanted to come check out the store, and while at the store, I was really uncertain about the music thing, I’m just doing it for fun, and The-Dream wrote and produced the song, and Ciara talked me into doing it and said I should meet with him.
OK, I’m not a singer, this isn’t what I do. I have too much other stuff going on. Is this really something safe for me to do? And Kanye was actually one of the people who really talked me into doing it and telling me, like, “Hey, look, what do you guys do for fun? You guys go shopping, you go to the movies. Kind of step into our world for a second and have fun, and we go to the studio.
Dream’s mother passed away of cancer and so did my dad, so half of the proceeds are going to a cancer organization,” she revealed. “It’s just one song, and it’s just for fun.
