PRINCE IS BACK IN COURT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Singer “Prince” is in the news due to a lawsuit he filed in June. “Prince” moved out of the home he rented in Beverly Hills, he left behind a $300,000 security deposit. “3121 Rep Inc.,” the company that claimed to have brokered the lease for “Prince,” has sued the owners to get the money back. But the owners say “Prince” made all the payments himself – “3121” was just an intermediary -- so the money should go straight to him. Now the two sides are suing each other, with “Prince” caught in the middle – “3121” wants the money they says is theirs, the owners just want their attorney's fees paid.
QUEEN LATIFAH? PAUL ABDUL’S REPLACEMENT!
Looks like Simon isn’t playing at all. What I am getting is that they are moving on replacing Paula really fast – straight up! Now, you know they aren’t playing when they pull Victoria Beckham out! Simon is reportedly very good friends with Vick and want her on the show. On the flip side, I heard she is merely a one-time, one show replacement – not for the whole season. Not too bad. Vicky can’t sing too well anyway.
On the other side, I am hearing that Queen Latifah might be the one that will truly fill Paula’s seat. She’s got that kind-heatrted flavor going on too so it might work.
Paula’s got a lil’ trick up her sleave….rumor has it, she might go to “Dancing With The Stars.” You may not know, but she is an accomplished dancer that used to choreographed for the likes of Janet Jackson.
RUMOR HAS IT!!!!!! Gucci Mane in Rehab
The legal affairs of Gucci Mane are enough for a full section on this site. It seems we are constantly trying to catch up with his arrests, court dates, probation violations and all sorts of other f***ery that is encompassed in the world of Gucci. A few weeks ago it was widely reported that Gucci had once again pee pee’d dirty on his probation test and therefore was again locked up. However while it was not true that he was in jail he did violate his probation and his lawyers had to work out some deal to keep him free.
Well I am hearing the deal they struck involves Gucci going to rehab for a period of 2 months. That is why we haven’t seen much of him on the concert tip and no new web videos. I’m told Gucci has been in the rehab facility in rural Georgia for the past week or so and will continue to be there for at least another month.
This guy is just crazy, in my opinion. It must be some insanely enticing weed this guy is getting his hands on for him to risk all this for it. Whatever it is I just know I want some of it…

C-Murder Found Guilty; Verdict Not Accepted
A New Orleans jury has found Corey “C-Murder” Miller guilty of second-degree murder, in relation to January 12, 2002 death of 16-year-old Steve Thomas.
The jury reached a verdict earlier this morning, although the judge has order them to continue to deliberate as one juror may have been in a rush to end the trial.
A jury of seven women and five men told Judge Hans Liljeberg they were deadlocked over Miller's guilt regarding the shooting death of the teenager during a dispute in Club Platinum, a defunct nightclub in Harvey.
Around 3:00 PM yesterday, the jury told Judge Hans Liljeberg that they were deadlocked after deliberating for about three hours, in a case that only took a week to try.
Judge Liljeberg ordered them to continue deliberating stating that he had juries with lessor charges deliberate for over eight hours.
Prosecutors wrapped up their closing arguments to the jury around 10:00 am, while Miller’s attorney finished his around 10:40 AM yesterday.
The jury asked Judge Hans Liljeberg to clarify the definition of second-degree murder twice during their deliberations.
The trial comes seven years after Thomas’ death, who would have been 23-years-old this year.
Miller was convicted of second-degree murder in September of 2003, but the verdict was overturned in Louisiana Supreme Court, after it was revealed that prosecutors expunged several witnesses’ criminal backgrounds in hopes of boosting their credibility.
Under Louisiana law, Miller must serve a mandatory sentence of life in prison if he is found guilty.
