Usher Mom Allegedly Signs The "Papers," Again!!!

Sources are reporting that Usher's mom, Jonetta Patton, has allegedly called it quits again as his manager.


The source is also reporting that Jive was pushing his album, Raymond vs. Raymond, back because he can’t keep a stable team in place. According to the NY Daily News, it’s all because of Ursh’s new cougar girlfriend Grace Miguel.

Apparently the crooner and his mother — and former manager– Jonetta Patton are officially on the outs and severed their professional ties in late November 2009.

“She walked away from the project because Usher had his girlfriend [and former Def Jam executive] Grace Miguel was all in the mix,” says the source.

“She felt as though if she didn’t end things when she did, it would permanently affect their personal relationship,” continues the source.

Usher had apparently declared that he would manage himself, with the help of Miguel, but the label felt that “there was chaos in the camp.” (The YBF)

When will Usher learn??? Momma knows best!!!!

Urban Pics: Million Dollar Girl Video Shoot w/ Trina & Diddy

Is it me or does it look like Diddy is scared to touch Trina?

Diddy & Trina were on the set of her 'Million Dollar Girl' video shoot. Keri Hilson is on the song as well, but couldn't make it to the shoot. I'm guessing, she will shoot her scene at a later date.

Listen to 'Million Dollar Girl'


To me this song is a not so Hot! Maybe it will grow on me, and if it does I will be the first to say I was wrong. I don't think Trina should have wasted her money on doing this video. She could have saved her money for the child she is supposedly adopting from Haiti.

Her album, Amazin, is in stores May 4th.

If You Missed It:Foxy Brown's New Diss; Trey Songz on Tavis Smiley; Fantasia On Oprah

On Foxy Brown's new song, Let 'Em Know, she is name-checking alot of rappers during her verse.

Brown drops lines about Jay-Z, former boyfriend Rick Ross, Eve, Miami rapper Trina and longtime nemesis, Lil Kim.

A number of lines are aimed at some of the more popular female rappers of the day, but most seem to be directed at Lil Kim.

“I’d rather be in the club at the bar/then to disrespect my hood on Dancing With the Stars/Nah I’m in the hood taking chances with the Gods.”

Later Brown gets more aggressive with the lyrics, adding Eve to the list of names called out on the track.

"Slam a b**ch on her back like I’m John Cena/F**k that I aint Eve, I aint Kim, I aint Trina/BK’s own Diva/I give the whole hood face lifts/Go on and fix your face b***h/"

Listen to 'Let 'Em Know'

Keyshia Cole Delivered The Baby????

Twitter will get you everytime! Last night, the way some folks were talking on Twitter, you would have thought Keyshia Cole had delievered the baby. After doing my own little investigation, I found out that it was a false alarm.

Cleveland.com reports:

Just as the Cavaliers guard was about to fall asleep Thursday afternoon, his fiancee, R&B star Keyshia Cole, who is expecting the couple's first child on March 2, felt what she thought were labor pains.

The two rushed to the Cleveland Clinic, where they found out it was a false alarm. After doctors ran a couple of tests to make sure everything was OK, Gibson took Cole home and then headed to Quicken Loans Arena for Thursday night's game against the Miami Heat.

Kanye West Clears Up Rumors About Airport Tantrum

It wouldn't be right if too many days went past without Kanye West "going off" about something!


The New York Post is reporting that while attempting to leave LA to get to NYC, Mr West got into with airline attendants over his "seating arrangements"! They reported that he started yelling at the flight attendancts because they didn't seat him in First class.

Kanye West took to his blog to clear the air on the whole situation:

I feel bad that people believe this kind of stuff or any random rumor that is taken as fact because ‘it’s on the internet.’ This rumor is particularly ironic because I was actually happy with a business class seat and was offered a seat in first class. A friend of mine was sitting in coach so asked if they could bump him up to business instead of putting me in first. There was absolutely no altercation in any way. There’s been many a time where I’ve given someone in coach my business or first class seat in order to sit next to a friend I bumped into. I really could care less about where I sit on the plane. It’s hard to deal with the rumors sometimes. As a good person with a warm heart, it does bother me. I’m not bigger than feeling pain, embarrassment, stress and worry. Have you ever been lied on??? How does it make you feel??? You wanna tell everybody it’s not true right? Thank you to all my fans who still love and support me even though it’s not the trend right now! I’m sleeping in the studio and I won’t let you guys down!

Lil Wayne Covers 'Rolling Stone'; Talks Upcoming Jail Time

Just days before Lil Wayne is set to go behind bars for 12 months, he is featured on Rolling Stone magazine.



On February 9th, February 9th, Lil Wayne will have to report to prison to serve a sentence for gun possession stemming from a 2007 arrest in New York City. With just a few days left, Lil Wayne is busy setting things up to keep his family, his artist, and his image so that he stays on his fan's mind.

In the Rolling Stone issue that hit newsstands today, Lil Wayne talks about his undying hustle, the new album, his family, and his look on his prison stint.

“I don’t like to stop,” Wayne tells RS‘ Chris Norris. “I believe you stop when you die.”

So in the weeks before he reports to Rikers Island, Wayne is keeping busy — recording tracks bound for Tha Carter IV (the album Cash Money staffers call “C4″ because it’ll be the bomb), shooting videos with his Young Money protégés, spending time with his growing family, and deliberately not asking anyone for advice about life on the inside.

“This is Lil Wayne going to jail. Nobody I can talk to can tell me what that’s like,” he says. “I just say I’m looking forward to it.”

Wayne's manager, Cortez Bryant, revealed that while he is doing his bid, his label is relocating to New York to be near him, and his manager Cortez Bryant is exploring ways to keep Wayne in his fans’ minds for the duration — from jailhouse Twitter accounts to endorsements.

“I’ll have an iPod, and I”ll make sure they keep sending me beats,” Lil Wayne says.

Tha Carter IV — which Norris is told features tougher, faster beats — is scheduled to arrive shortly after he gets out.

VH1 Stars Face Off At Haiti Benefit: Poprah Vs. Danger

I thought we have put Danger in a mental rehab, and I thought we were done with Poprah, but appearantly not!

RadioTV Planet:

Last Friday (Jan. 29) For the Love of Ray J star Danger attended the Haiti fundraiser event at Hollywood’s Laugh Factory thrown by I Want to Work for Diddy star Poprah. The video above unravels the story a bit…

Danger got on stage to speak and wouldn’t get off, so Poprah had to intervene. Then Poprah took Danger to the red carpet to give her a chance to speak on all the rumors surrounding her recent interviews about her family issues, Ray J and other things… and all hell broke loose!

You know its sad that folks can't even get along at a Charity event. I wouldn't be suprised if this was stage though-2 reality stars begging to stay in the limelight. It's over, boo!

Mo'Nique "Floating" After Oscar Nod; Vanity Fair's Prejudice To Blacks

Bmore's own Mo'Nique is definitely on the road to success, especially after the 2010 Oscar nominees that were announced.

Mo'Nique was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire".

Movie Trailers - Movies Blog

Congratulations also goes out to :

*Lead, Gaboruey Sidibe – who played ‘Precious’ – is up for Best Actress

*The movie’s director Lee Daniels has been nominated for Best Director

‘Precious’ is also up for Best Picture

Now, I would like to know how do you get a nod for Best Actress, and they leave you out of the 'Young Hollywood' edition of Vanity Fair!!!

Vanity Fair know they are soooooo wrong for this. Clearly from the picture, to be considered "Young Hollywood" you have to be a white, skinny, female. Poor Gabbi, Zoe S, and Keke Palmer...not to mention, J-Hud...Hello!!!!

Ludacris Asks Ciara & Pitbull To "Go Low"

Ludacris' Battle of The Sexes cd was scheduled to drop late spring, but recently has been pushed up to the second week of March. It was also supposed to be him and Shawnna, but looks like that has changed too...*side-eye*. I knew something was shady when I heard that she wasn't on DTP anymore. Since Luda will be on the Black Eyed Peas tour, that's why his album release date was pushed it.

B.O.T.S. will feature appearances from Eve, Trina, Lil Kim, Nicki Minaj battling Neyo, Flo-Rida, Plies, and of course, Luda. Battle of The Sexes will hit shelves on March 9th.

Check out the Luda's remix featuring Ciara and Pitbull.


Wow....CiCi killed that...

Blast It or Trash It: Fantasia-Even Angels

Fantasia has been fighting with her record label to get 'Move On Me' as the single from her new album, but it doesn't look like that is going to happen. I'm not even sure if this will be a single, but it leaked, i listened, and i like!

My question to you is, should I 'Blast It or Trash It'?

Listen to it, and let me know!

Fantasia To Be Sued By New Jump-Off's Wife

MTO is reporting that Fantasia is about to get slapped with a Multi-Million dollar lawsuit!

"According to one of our ULTRA-RELIABLE sources, Antwaun Cook's estranged wife is SERIOUSLY contemplating bringing a lawsuit against Fantasia for STEALING her husband. And according to our snitch, she's exploring using North Carolina's ANTI-JUMPOFF law to bring it.

Only 7 states have what we’re referring to as the ANTI-JUMPOFF law (in legal circles it’s called “criminal conversion”), the states are North Carolina, Illinois, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Mexico, South Dakota and Utah.

But here’s why North Carolina’s anti-jumpoff law is so EFFECTIVE. Unlike the traditional “Alienation Of Affection” law, a jumpoff has virtually NO DEFENSE to a lawsuit brought under the ANTI-JUMPOFF law. For example, the jumpoff CAN NOT claim that they didn’t know the other person was married, or that the married man WAS SEPARATED from his wife, or that the wife was ALSO BEING UNFAITHFUL.

MediaTakeOut.com uncovered that under North Carolina’s law, if the wife can prove that she was VALIDLY married and that her husband had SEX with his jumpoff, then the jumpoff is AUTOMATICALLY liable for damages."

...Tasia, I sure hope he was worth it! Thats a BIG phone bill!
