Vivica A. Fox called a state patrol officer a "racist white cop" during her drunken driving arrest and repeatedly failed sobriety tests, according to an official report.

The 42-year-old actress, who is Black, was pulled over in March after passing a California Highway Patrol officer who said her Cadillac was doing 80 mph and weaving in its lane on the Hollywood Freeway.

"Fox began to walk away, yelling at my partner, 'Brother, help a sister, are you going to let this racist white cop do this. ... Well, are you?'" according to the report.

Fox continued to speak in a "condescending manner" as she was placed in the patrol car, according to the report. She was taken to the Van Nuys jail, where a breath test was conducted but had to be stopped when she "burped quite loudly," the report said.

"The report stands on its own, and we can't comment further because it's a case pending before the courts," said Fran Clader, patrol spokeswoman.

Bloggers and readers have moved past the Beyonce vs. Kylie Minogue comparison to debate TMZ's description of Beyonce's space-like outfit used in the opening of her BET performance last week as "Roboho." One columnist in particular, Jasmyne Cannick, compared the use of "ho" to that of Don Imus...Not to mention, they described Eve attire as "Streetwalker chic!"

I kind of find it laughable! What do you think?

In his recent interview with Vibe Magazine, T.I. discusses his relationship with his baby mama/girlfriend/fiance, Tiny...
...as T.I., "she means to me what my mother meant to me as a kid." He added, "Somebody that you know is consistently there, has your best interests at heart, and if ain't nobody else there in the world, [she] gon' be there. [Tiny's] filled that spot in my life." ...

After a ill-worded slip up in Essence Magazine, it's been confirmed by PEOPLE that Usher and his fiance Tameka "Liar Liar" Foster are expecting...We all knew it, so it's no surprise. It just makes us all shudder at the thought! Ughh...Usher should have listen to Mother Patton! The baby is do in the fall, which means she must be at least mid-pregnancy...With his next album due around the same time, does anyone else smell publicity stunt?!
"We are extremely excited at this point in our lives planning our wedding and the joy that comes with expecting our first child together," the couple said in a statement released to the Associated Press Wednesday.

"We hope people will be happy for us and respect our privacy during this happy period in our lives."

This is Tameka's 4 child and is still most likely her ex-husband's child...Usher is quickly becoming a train wreck a la Britney Spears...

Wow...If you missed the 2007 BET Awards then well, you can catch it over the next 2 months or so because you know it's about to be on repeat!! Less technical difficulties this year and better production proved to make this year go quite well! There was no shortage of performances...


It started with a bang joining the original Effie, Jennifer Holiday and the Oscar winning Jennifer Hudson for a show stopping performance of "And I am Telling You." It was great, but those faces Jennifer Holiday was making gave me nightmares!





Host Mo'Nique was not playing baby! She repped for the big girls with her dancers with another Beyonce inspired dance performance, though I thought the first time was better! However, her wardrobe changes were definitely on point!





Beyonce killed it in her $100,000 Balenciaga leggings and matching bustier to "Get Me Bodied" which she can probably do in her sleep. My intuition was right and it was a Destiny's Child reunion on stage...




I am not mad at all...see you next week @ Essence!!

Everyone is comparing her space-age attire to that of Kylie Minogue's outfit during her "Come Into My World" Fever Tour...Judge for your self! But it may time for Beyonce to hire a new tour manager...that's all I'm saying.



Kelly got her shine on, Eve was looking F-A-B in her white ensemble, as well...Kelly better work on those vocals though, she was out of breath by the time she made it to the stage!

I just need some one to tell me what the hell Michelle was doing on her pedestal at the end?!


Diddy had a love triangle on stage with Keyshia Cole and Lil Kim...lovin' the white on Keyshia too!


Robin...I'll be seeing you too next week at Essence! Sexy...loved the band too!

Tyrese (last name Gibson) tells Elle Magazine how to spot a cheat, what he likes in a woman, and why James Franco should watch his back...

ELLE: Your songs portray a man who's particularly adept at seduction. Do you feel you're better at seducing women than the rest of us?

T: I'm definitely more talented than most of the guys I know. A lot of guys who just want to have sex will sit with the same woman and try all night. I'm able to look at a woman, have a five-minute conversation with her, and tell if it's a waste of time or not. I figure things out a lot faster.

ELLE: Your song "I'm Sorry" was about getting caught cheating. How have you dealt with this particular scenario?

T: My ex-girl told me, "I love you so much, and I know it's just a phase you're going through." When a woman comes at you like that, you look at her as being so mature because she understands if I'm cheating, it's not her problem, it's mine. When a man cheats, it's not a reflection of what she's not.

ELLE: Have you learned anything about how not to get caught?

T: A lot of men are very sloppy with the way they cheat. You can get caught from your cell phone or hanging around the wrong people while you're doing your dirt. Or you can get caught after a woman purposely leaves something in your car.

Read more of his interview at Elle Magazine...I will say he is completely right about a man cheating not be a refection of the woman...Hard lesson to learn, but a real one!

"I am looking forward to moving into another form of what I feel is another creative outlet for me and that would be acting," the 26-year-old singer told reporters Monday in Shanghai, where she was to hold her first mainland China concert.

Aguilera, who married music executive Jordan Bratman in 2005, said she was taking her time reading and understanding the film industry.

"It is something that, when I attempt to do it, I want to do it right so it's important for me that I do choose the right first role for myself," said Aguilera, who will perform Tuesday night at the Shanghai Grand Stage, host to earlier performances by the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton and the Black Eyed Peas.

TMZ reports that Foxy Brown was jumped, high school style, by 3 chicks sent by her ex-boyfriend...It's just unbeweavable!

Rapper Foxy Brown was attacked by three female friends of her ex-boyfriend yesterday morning. The lady thugs pulled out her hearing aid and tore out chunks of Foxy's hair weave and also stole Brown's handbag and $500.

Brown allegedly dumped Roshawn Anthony after finding out that he was a pimp. The angry ex then called the three attackers to beat up Brown. According to a police source in the Daily News, "they beat her bad. They ripped out her hair weave. Her hair was a mess -- and that seems to be what she cared about most."

As tumbleweave gently flitted through the street, Brown drove around with police until they were able to find Anthony, who has been arrested and charged with assault.

BV Newswire gives a sneak peek at some of the juicy details presented in the E! expose:

'Moesha' producer Ralph Farguhar on Brandy's initial reading for the show – "She was horrible. I called up my wife, I said 'I'm dead. I just sold the network a bag of smoke.'"
'Moesha' co-star Countess Vaughn on rumors of her fighting with Brandy – "What really pissed me off was because we were 15 years old, and these adults were coming in on an argument that would've blown over, but it didn't because of the outside and the media."
'Moesha' co-star Shar Jackson on Brandy's hectic schedule – " It got to a point where I'd see her, we'd spend the whole day together, and the only thing I saw her eat was a trail mix or something."

In response to Wendy Williams' comments on her show:
Wendy Williams is obsessed with me. I think that is so sexy to have someone talk about me every day, especially when I don't have a CD, demo or TV pilot. I'm just a stylist and designer and if I can be mentioned in the same breath as Diddy, then I must be doing something right. I think she loves me more than she lets on. I need to make her a part of my marketing team.

...So you know Wendy HAD to respond! Check out Wendy's rebuttal...

On her character:
I'm probably one of the most down-to-earth, non-Hollywood people you'll ever meet. I'm real, not plastic. So you'll never see me smiling perfectly in every picture or waving my hand for the cameras like a princess on a float. If anything, I'm always trying to avoid taking pictures. I'm shy in that way. The spotlight is Usher's lane.
Riiighht...you can't sell me that pipe dream!!




When asked if she was preggers:
Yes, I do plan to have children with Usher. This is the man I love and plan to spend the rest of my life with so why wouldn't I want to share that bond of bringing another life into this world with him.

Vh1 has greenlit 10 episodes of a new reality show following Salt 'N Pepa as they reunite!

THE SALT ‘N’ PEPA SHOW

"Push It." "Let’s Talk About Sex." "Shoop." "Whatta Man." The songs are as legendary as this rap duo. Twelve million records sold. A first ever Grammy awarded to a female rap group for Best Rap Performance. Three MTV Video Music Awards.

Then, in 2002, at the height of their success, Salt ‘N Pepa suddenly called it quits. Rumors swirled that Salt had found God and Pepa wanted to pursue an acting career. Despite the speculation, the girls remained silent. Until now.

On “The Salt ‘N Pepa Show,” VH1 will follow the ladies as they attempt to reunite on and off the stage in this funny, often touching reality series. They soon discover however, that achieving this is easier said than done since most of their past issues are still unresolved. Salt is angry about being unappreciated when they were together and Pepa blames Salt for breaking up the group. Their lifestyles are also polar opposites: Salt has indeed found God and is living a quiet life in Long Island with her husband while Pepa is still the party girl and up for anything. Can they overcome their differences long enough to heal their friendship and perform again?

Hip-hop star T.I. lost out on a dream home because of the color of his skin, according to the rapper himself. The 26-year-old arrived with cash to buy the luxury property in his native Atlanta, Georgia, but his offer was turned down.

He tells Blender, "They wanted $2.5 million for that house over there. I was ready to pay cash. But once they saw who I was, the house wasn't for sale anymore. If you ask me it's because I'm a young black man."

T.I. adds, "I just bought a bigger house."

A report burning up the net claims that superproducer Pharrell Williams is going to be a daddy with his "girlfriend of nearly 5 years," Vashtie Kola, who's pregnant with their kid.

But Pharrell tells TMZ that the news is "100% not true," and we're told by a source close to Williams that he hasn't even seen her in over a year.

MediaTakeOut.com reported the "news," claiming that the couple are trying to keep the pregnancy "under wraps," but our source says that Kola actually has a new boyfriend, and that no one is even certain that she's pregnant. We're told that Pharrell is "not sure why this is coming out now.

As he prepared for Game 4 of the NBA finals, LeBron James became a father for the second time. His girlfriend, Savannah Brinson, gave birth early Thursday to the couple's second son, Bryce Maximus James.

James was at the hospital for the delivery and appeared a little sleepy following the Cavaliers' morning shootaround at Quicken Loans Arena.

"It was a late night for him," Cavs coach Mike Brown said. "But he's young; he's fine."

The 22-year-old James said he would comment on his son's birth during his media availability before Game 4.

Maximus is the name of the lead character in "Gladiator," a movie about a powerful Roman general, who is betrayed and seeks revenge for his family's murder as a gladiator. The film is James' favorite.

Bryce, who weighed 8 pounds, 6 ounces and was 21 inches long, was born at 12:51 a.m. at Cuyahoga Falls General Hospital, near his father's hometown of Akron.

"Savannah and the baby are healthy and doing well," said Keith Estabrook, a spokesman for the player and his family.

Akon address his criticisms, the rag-doll incident in particular, with a new song called "Sorry, Blame It On Me." He basically says sorry she was where she shouldn't have been...lyrics include:

I’m sorry that it took so long to speak / But I was on tour with Gwen Stefani / I’m sorry for the hand that she was dealt / For the embarrassment that she felt / Just a little young girl trying to have fun / Her daddy should never let her out that young / I’m sorry for Club Zen getting shut down / I hope they manage better next time around / How was I to know she was underage / Enter 21 you know the club they say / Why doesn’t anybody wanna take blame / For rising back out disgracing my name / I’m just a singer trying to entertain / Because I love my fans I’ll take that blame

Akon - Sorry, Blame It On Me

R&B vocalist Keyshia Cole is eyeing a Sept. 18 release for her sophomore album, "Just Like You." The first single, "Let It Go," features Missy Elliott and Lil' Kim; a Benny Boom-directed video with cameos from those artists will be shot next week.

Cole has also inked a deal with BET to air a second season of her reality show, "The Way It Is," which premiered last year. The new installment will air in the fall, with Cole and her manager, Manny Halley, serving as executive producers. "The Way It Is" will focus on preparation for the new album as well as Cole's mother's recent release from jail.

It's not a rumor. I was arrested Friday night for resisting arrest. It was non violent. I was in Tampa and was stopped by the cops who, for some reason, thought my cousin had a gun. They searched him, threw him up against the car," explains Dennis in loose detail.

Feeling that the search and interrogation by local police was unnecessary Dennis became concerned. "I started asking questions and asking for badge numbers and names of the officers," says Dennis as the incident began to escalate.

"They got to shoving and they pepper sprayed me and they locked my a$$ up. That's pretty much what happened. It wasn't like it was a big altercation. It happened so fast. In maybe like four or five minutes the whole thing was done," says Dennis still in disbelief.

Oh her album, she says:
Dennis reassured SOHH that all the waiting for her solo CD won't be in vain. She says the delays were simply due to label politics and differences of opinions concerning her image.

"Let me say that I don't mean Puff solely, but label executives in general often aren't on the same page creatively as an artist. The thing they want the world to perceive may not be what you are and it may not be your vision. The power struggle takes time and I think that has been a lot of my issue," reveals Dennis.

I Finally Made It, Dennis' debut CD is due out this fall via Bad Boy Entertainment.

T-Pain's sophomore album "Epiphany" enters on top of The Billboard 200 in a week where six of the top 10 albums are new releases. With sales fueled by the MC's high-powered single "Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin')," the Konvict/Nappy Boy/Jive set moved 171,000 copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan. T-Pain's 2005 debut, "Rapper Ternt Sanga," only reached No. 40, selling 47,000 copies in its first week.

Rihanna's "Good Girl Gone Bad" bows at No. 2 with 162,000. The set's lead single, "Umbrella," currently crowns the Hot 100. This SRP/Def Jam effort is the singer's third release in two years, with each album achieving a better start than its predecessor. 2005's "Music of the Sun" began at No. 10 with 68,000, while 2006's "A Girl Like Me" started at No. 5 with 115,000.

Now, I must say, I love the Sopranos, watched it every Sunday...But not like that. I don't have the patience to really focus on the nitty gritty details, so I like most of us felt a little slighted at the ending of series finale. Enter the theories! I've heard and read a lot of them and I must admit...David Chase is a genius for this shit! He has everyone racking their brains to figure out what really a happened. That makes for great TV history...anyhoo, here is the best explanation I've read so far via MissInfo!


“Ok so my friend just sent me this I think she got it off some sopranos web site thing.

Read, it sheds a little light

He was killed….

in fact, the ending was genius if you’ve paid attention to the show or are just a fan of well developed well thought out plots that all tie together and have the memory of a champ to remember it all the ending was simple, he got killed, but let me tell you all why and explain in detail… There was 3 people in the room total who had a reason to kill tony….. the two black guys, they were paid before to kill tony but he was only shot in the ear, this was in one of the earlier seasons, also in the
earlier seasons, the trucker who was sitting at the bar stool, who the camera kept focusing in on, is Nikki Leotardo, Phil Leotardos nephew, he was in one of the early season episodes where Phil and Tony have a sit down….

Heres where the genius comes in….

When tonys walking in the diner,you see the camera focus on him, then it switches to his perspective, and you see him looking @ the booth hes gonna sit at… then the camera switches back to Tony’s face, then it once again switches to his perspective, and it shows him looking @ the door and looking @ the people come in….. Every time the door opens the Chimes sound…….

Carmela walks in, Chimes, AJ walks in Chimes, this when Meadows parallel parking, still trying to get inside the restaurant….

At this point the camera switches back to the trucker who goes in the bathroom……Then it goes to a scene where meadow finally parks and starts running in the diner….

The doors about to open, Tony looks up….

and No Chimes………………….

no Music…………

everything just goes black……………

In one of the early episodes of the sopranos, tonys talking with bobby about what it must feel like to die..

Bobby says “at the end, you probably dont hear anything, everything just goes black”

Part of that was revisited in the second to last episode during the last seconds of it, when tonys about to go to sleep and he flashes back to the memory of him and bobby on the boat… “You probably dont hear anything everything just goes black”

So in the end, the Journey song was playing, the chimes on the door sounded but when meadow came in, the guy in the trucker that came out
and killed tony…

Its the reason you don’t hear, or see anything when he died…. it was
from his perspective…. and everything went black, then the credits rolled”

Okay, so go to your DVR or On-Demand and watch it again! Like me...

Cheri Denni, the sexy singer of Bad Boy, was arrested over the weekend. Apparently, she had some type of encounter with the police that resulted in a night in jail. She reportedly had a lil’ something with the police. She reportedly got out of jail after posting $500 bond. I don’t know all the details, but I do have her mug shot in my possession. I hope this isn’t some play for press! That smirk on her face appears pretty and pleased!

Not a good look dear Cheri, but I guess it was they say, any publicity is good publicity! At least the police released you, that's more than we can say for Diddy!

Whats' the fuss around mixtapes?

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

There is a war brewing between the underground mixtape industry and the larger recording industry...A new documentary, Mixtape, Inc., takes an in depth look at the "illegal" hip-hop compilation industry that is causing a ruckus in the business world of record companies. From the origins of the mixtape, to it's evolution and the future of the mixtape game. Heavy hitters in the game discuss the RIAA's anti-mixtape campaign and the love/hate relationship between record companies and mixtape DJs. As one DJ calls it, mixtape DJs are the "A&R of the streets." Mixtapes became a product of necessity as it made it's own way into the music industry when there was no other way.

Exclusive interviews with Hip-Hop superstars Kanye West, G-Unit (Lloyd Banks, Young Buck, Tony Yayo), Chuck D., Lil’ Jon, Fabolous, David Banner, Xzibit, Kool DJ Red Alert, Ed Lover & Doctor Dre, DJ Clue, DJ Kay Slay, Danger Mouse, DJ Enuff and DJ Vlad.

I hear that a listening party for a sexy R&B starlet's forthcoming album became a pity party after media guests began sharing with the label staff "how bad they thought the music was." A source tells me that by the time the last song was played, journalists had the same sentiment: "The album sucks!" Could that be the delay in its release?

The speculation is over: After a controversial season, Isaiah Washington will not be returning to Grey's Anatomy, his rep and ABC Television Studio have confirmed.

Howard Bragman, Washington's publicist, says Washington's option was not renewed, and released this statement from the actor: "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more."

Bragman did not elaborate on the statement, a reference to the 1976 film Network.

The cast was notified Thursday night of the final decision, which, says a source close to the situation, was a long time coming. In the end, the source says, Washington's behavior made him a liability.

Rumors ran rampant following the season finale – during which Washington's character, Dr. Preston Burke, broke up with his fiancée, Christina Yang (Sandra Oh), and moved out of their apartment – that Washington would not be returning.

I don't like that at all! I think Grey's Anatomy is very vulnerable, it's still a young show, and this could cost the show some viewers...I'll miss the Burke/Yang drama...
About $16,000 worth of belongings was reported stolen from the home of the late Marquise Hill's mother while she was at the funeral for her son, a New England Patriots lineman who drowned last week, police said Wednesday.

No suspects have been identified in Saturday's burglary at the eastern New Orleans home of Sherry Hill, who told police that she left for her son's funeral at 10:45 a.m. and discovered the break-in when she returned around 5:45 p.m.

"It's an open case," said New Orleans Police Department spokesman Garry Flot. "We don't know who did it."

A telephone call to Sherry Hill was not answered.

Flot said a laptop and a television were among the stolen items. A rear bedroom window was apparently pried open.

"Everybody knew his funeral was on that date," Flot said of Hill, a former LSU star who played sparingly for the Patriots.

Hill's family, friends and teammates gathered in New Orleans for his funeral Saturday, nearly a week after he drowned in a personal watercraft accident on Lake Pontchartrain.

Besides his mother, Hill, 24, is survived by his fiancee Inell Benn and his 2-year-old son Mashy.

Hill, who helped relatives rebuild in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, was home for Memorial Day weekend. He and a female friend went for a ride on the watercraft without life vests and fell into the water. The woman survived, but Hill drowned in an area of swirling currents.

After just three days behind bars, TMZ.com is reporting that Paris Hilton was released early Thursday morning.

The reality TV star and heiress was originally sentenced to 45 days for violating the terms of her probation following a DUI arrest. The judge cut her sentence to 23 days and she entered a Los Angeles County jail on Sunday night.

An "unimpeachable" source told TMZ.com that Hilton was released early Thursday morning.

Note to inmates: Starve yourself to get out of jail!

Paris Hilton has been fitted for ankle bracelet and reassigned to house arrest, after authorities decided to release Hilton from prison due to medical reasons, this according to Los Angeles County Sheriff's Dept. spokesperson, Steve Whitmore.

Whitmore says he cannot release details about Paris' medical issue due to confidentiality.
