Ginuwine Speaks Out: Aaliyah, R. Kelly, TGT
I didn’t see this coming with some bi-focals, but I guess I should have been aware of it, especially with Ginuwine having an album about to drop.
He recently did some publicity stunts promotion where he talked about his relationship with Aaliyah, the drama surrounding R.Kelly, and the break-up between TGT (Tank, Ginuwine, and Tyrese).

Tony Yayo & Lloyd Banks Dropped; Rick Ross Offers Label Deal
Maybe Rick Ross does have a heart, or maybe he is just feeling sorry for G-Unit’s Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo. Word is that they have been dropped from Interscope.

With his album Deeper Than Rap finally hitting store shelves, Rick Ross has continued his G-Unit taunts, claiming Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo have been dropped from Interscope Records.
Ross addressed his post-battle with G-Unit, while offering to be their boss.
“You asking me do I feel responsible that Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo is dropped from Interscope,” Ross said in an interview. “I’m not gonna take full responsibility but I just believe Jimmy Iovine and all the geniuses at Interscope, I think they understand that their career with music is over. As well as 50 Cent’s…Everybody telling me I did it, thanks. But honestly, they did it, they did it to themselves…It’s sad when you get dropped and you working with [Dr.] Dre…I’ma pull up their BDS, I know their last album, T.O.S. flopped, I think it sold 15,000 copies its first week or something close to that, I’ma pull up their BDS and make an offer…I might get ‘em a situation on Haitian Mafia…Interscope won’t sign you, Def Jam won’t sign you. Pretty much, go to E1 [formely Koch Records] if we offer you something.”
Ranting against Interscope last week, New York City deejay Funkmaster Flex also hinted at Banks and Yayo being off the label.
“Let me tell you something Nino, New York I’m talking to a person who makes decisions, who does things up there moving funny style,” Flex said on his radio show about an Interscope employee. “Interscope Records, nothin’ is spinning…From what I understand, I think Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo arent on that label anymore, it’s just 50 Cent. And I think 50′s deal is up there. 50, from what I hear, your deal is up at Interscope, we got you. I’d walk out that building after that.”
Obsessed Is #1!!!
I can honestly say, I did NOT see this coming. Not with Beyonce, Idris, and Ali going up against Jamie Foxx & Robert Downing Jr’s, The Soloist!
Obsessed is #1 in the box office this weekend and becomes the biggest opening ever for a last-week-of-April release, beating previous record holder “Mean Girls” ($24.4M).
It also gives Beyonce the best opening of her career as an above-the-title star, topping 2003′s “The Fighting Temptations” ($11.7M) and “Cadillac Records” ($3.4M) from late 2008.
Sony/Screen Gems sent out a Twitter “tweet” on Sunday that said the $28.5 million opening weekend for their Beyonce film “Obsessed” is the second biggest opening in the studio’s history.
Rihanna To LAPD "Give Me My Bling"
Rihanna was rocking $1.4 million worth of borrowed jewelry the night of her altercation with Chris Brown, which instantly became police evidence in an ensuing investigation. Almost three months later, Rihanna has yet to get the jewelry back, and she’s getting heated.
The 4 jewelry companies that she borrowed the jewelry from are beginning to get pissed off.
Her attorney, Donald Etra, filed a motion Tuesday asking that Los Angeles police and prosecutors return the pair of earrings and three rings that they seized. All were made of “yellow metal” and all but one includes “white stones,” according to the filing. Etra argues that photographs of the items will satisfy the needs of attorneys and asks the court “to order the return of the property to (Rihanna) without further delay.” The motion states that Brown’s attorney and a Los Angeles Police Department detective overseeing the case do not object to the return of the items.
If You’ve Missed It: Lil Wayne on The View
I missed the actual show when Lil Wayne made his appearance on The View, but thanks to DVR, Youtube, and all the other sites, I was able to check it out.

In other Weezy news, he was in court last week in New York as his lawyer asked a judge to re-visit whether a handgun found on Weezy’s tour bus can be used as evidence in his weapon-possession trial. The attorney says there’s a discrepancy in testimony by the cops who busted Wayne in July 2007. The judge ruled two months ago that the search was legal because the officers had entered the bus after smelling marijuana. A hearing is scheduled for May 20th.
Time To Get ‘Obsessed’ With Beyonce All Over Again
Obsessed starring Beyonce Knowles, Idris Elba, and Ali Larter is in theaters today. I hosted the 92Q Premiere in Baltimore last night. The movie wasn’t bad. I dont know if that is the Beyonce fan in me coming out or not, but I would suggest everyone to check it out for yourself.
This week, B, has been hitting the Talk Shows to promote the new movie, and to talk about the fake audio of her singing that leaked earlier this week.

Dawn & Diddy Get ‘Dirty’ On Train Ride
I have to admit, I am HIGLY upset with the Finale of Making The Band 4 that came on MTV last nite. I was hosting the premiere of Beyonce’s Obsessed last nite in Towson, and rushed home to catch the 11pm showing. When I saw it, I was why? EVERYTHING about the finale pissed me off.
Anyways….Diddy did announce that he would like all of the girls of Danity Kane out of their contract so that they can pursue their own endeavors (who cares, really?). The only one to stay-Dawn. She and Puff have created a new group, Dirty Money.
“I’m in a group called, Dirty Money. It’s another girl and Puff and me,” Dawn revealed. “Her name is Keelena. She’s a writer. She’s amazing. She’s wrote for every person you could ever imagine and now he’s giving her the opportunity. It’s not a background [situation] where it’s two girls in the back. We’re singing on all the joints. It’s very different then what you’re used to. It’s a different thing. You’re going to be proud of it.”
And with the new group, comes a new look as we see Dawn rocking a new cut.
“You know, that’s Puff, that ain’t a Dawn decision,” she said of her new look. “Puff is about fashion forward, moving forward in fashion and going a different way. Danity Kane was a very different journey and this is a whole new aspect on music so the transition is this. I get to live way bigger, sing bigger, have a different swagger. It’s way more fun. It’s way looser ’cause that’s Puff.”
