Are Mariah Carey And Lil Mo Beefing?!

One would think that Mariah Carey and powerhouse singer/songwriter Lil Mo' are at odds with one another because Mo' recently TwitPic'd a very explicit photo of Mariah's uncovered crotch. According to the NeoDaMatrix, the leaked photo that is swiftly making its rounds on the Internet was stolen from the laptop of an executive of Virgin Records back in March. Peep Mo's twit....

Child boo!

!!!.... WARNING ....!!!

The photo below is very graphic in nature. Please DO NOT click the "Read More" link unless you are over the age of 18.

A Judge Gives Shaunie The Green Light?!

Before her very public break-up with husband, Shaquille O'Neal, Shaunie was producing a reality show for VH1 called Basketball Wives. Well, after Shaunie packed the kids up and high-tailed to LA [to file for divorce] everyone assumed the show was a no-go. Hun-tee Shaq had better learn to stop underestimating Ms. Shaunie's shrewd business sense. Chick is not lame at all. Mind you, this is the same Shaunie that Shaq accused of hiding money and real estate the last time they seperated. So her moving forward with the production of her show should come as no surprise. Um-kay?!

Trina Is Pissed?!

Rapper Trina recently celebrated her birthday at Club Miami in Atlanta. A few of her celebrity friends came out to help her enjoy her big day, including fellow female rappers Nicki Minaj and Rasheeda. Other celeb friends that attended were Teyana Taylor, Soulja Boy, and boxing champ Floyd Mayweather. Anyhoo, apparently some people said some really mean things about the corsets and lacefronts that Trina and Nicki wore. Needless to say, The Diamond Princess had had enough and took to her Twitter page to put you haters in check.

Whoosh, I guess she told y'all....haters, that is! Ow!

Busta Rhymes Ordered To Pay Up?!

We know times are hard and money is tight for some due to the economic downturn. Apprently rapper, Busta Rhymes, can attest to that fact as well seeing that he's been ordered to pay $75,000.00 to a concert goer after hitting him with a water bottle for walking out on his show. See, what had happen was.... The fan had come to see Fabolous and when it was announced that Fab was not performing, the concert goer proceeded to walk out. Upon leaving he caught Busta's attention. Busta got on the mic and told ole' dude to sit down. They exchanged words back and forth [with the guy saying he didn't want to see Busta's show] and Busta ultimately hurled two bottles of water at the guy. In his complaint the dude says he was splashed by water and has ...[get this]... "nightmares because of the incident." Dude ended up winning a default judgement because Busta failed to show up for all seven of the court hearings. SMH!

Katt Williams Arrested....AGAIN?!

Word on the sidewalk is that comedian Katt Williams was arrested over the weekend in a Walmart parking lot in Georgia. This time we hear he was hit with a drug possession charge. Wow, Katt can't seem to catch a break here lately. Talk about a downward spiral.

Platinum Recording Artist, D Woods, Goes Solo?!

Platinum-recording artist, songwriter and actress, D. Woods, is truly a triple threat entertainer and is one of the entertainment industry’s quickest rising young stars. She became a familiar face on Diddy’s “Making the Band 3” which went on to create the five-member pop/R&B girl group sensation, Danity Kane. Their first self-titled album debuted in late 2006 at #1 on the Billboard charts selling 234,000 units in the first week and was eventually certified Platinum. Danity Kane’s sophomore album “Welcome to the Dollhouse” debuted in 2008 at #1 on the Billboard Charts, making Danity Kane the first female group to have two #1 debuts for their first and second albums. “Welcome To The Dollhouse” sold over 500,000 units and spawned the hit single ”Damaged,” which sold over 2 million digital downloads.

Showing her true versatility, D. Woods is no stranger to the silver screen, D. Woods made a cameo in the 2007 box office smash “Stomp the Yard” starring Columbus Short, Meagan Good, Ne-Yo and Chris Brown and recently completed filming her next movie, “We Are Family,” which will be in theaters in 2010 and stars actors Monique Coleman, Christian Keyes and Chyna Lane. On October 14, 2008, in one of MTV’s most-watched episodes, Danity Kane, much to the chagrin of their loyal fans, was disbanded and D. Woods left the group to embark on the next and greatest chapter of her career; as a solo-artist. No longer confined to a group-setting, D. Woods is free to exhibit her creative style and pop sensibilities through her recent distribution deal inked with Bonzi Records/Fontana (Universal Music Group).

D. Woods’ solo debut album, “My Favorite Color,” will be released on April 27, 2010 on her own label, Woodgrane Music, but before its release, she will be giving back to her fans with the release of “The Gray Area Experience” EP, which features new and exclusive material. The first single from the EP will be “Legalize Me” releasing on December 8, 2009, along with a music video to support. Along with the release of “The Gray Area Experience,” D. Woods will also invite her fans to submit their personalized videos for an opportunity to win “A Day With D. Woods” online contest. “Over the past year, I've existed in one of the most awkward situations yet in my life; my own little “Gray Area.” I look forward to what the future has in store for me,” says D. Woods. Visit www.missdwoods.com or www.bonzirecords.com for updates and D. Woods music and news.
