TODAY’S RUMORS

 Before I jump into the rumors, I want you to know that I did an editorial. As many of you know, I was an AllHipHop columnist before assuming the duties on rumors. So, this latest editorial column deals with some of the subtle aliens that walk among us. To see them, you have to read the column, "They Live."

Let me know your thoughts.

Here are the rumors!

ALICIA KEYS TO MARRY?

I got a tip about Alicia Keys. You all know Ms. Keys is so private, you can’t even find her when she doesn’t want to be found. Well, she is rumored to be preparing for marriage this summer. The dude is supposed to be man that she has been with for a long time, like over a decade. I don’t know the person’s name but the only person I can think of is her homey Krucial. I am not saying that’s true, but just to say that they are very close and have been together for a long time. He’s a good dude too.

LIL’ WAYNE’S ALBUM COVER?

No way, dude. At least, I hope not, but Amazon says otherwise.

CHINKY AND JIM JONES WORK IT OUT

I don’t know what happened, but I helped Jim Jones and producer Chinky come to a resolution. Apparently, Jim Jones’ people weren’t funny aware of the depth of the issue with Chinky and got on the phone. They worked on the problem all day yesterday, according to those close by and worked it out. I heard Chinky even said sorry to them. He was frustrated and requested that I remove it. I obliged.

SOME JAY-B STUFF…

This one is for Houston. I heard they will be in effect at the Toyota Center in Houston on April 10, but don’t expect any big brouhaha like Lady Drama predicted. I heard that Beyonce will be flying in that night from L.A. from some kind of business meeting. IT will be business as usual from what I have been told. Lady Drama said that the pair will reveal and confirm their marriage in Bey’s hometown.

I heard that at the show, there will be some sort of Roc Box Suite that will house all the remaining Roc-A-Fella artists like M. Bleek, Freeway and what is left of the staff. There are a few people hitting me up. Interesting.

LA AND USHER’S NEW ARTIST

I got an email today from a good buddy and I was told that Usher and LA Reid have signed a new artist today for Def Jam. Now, I don’t remember the boy’s name, but I heard he JUST signed to the label this week. He is a young White male who is in his teen years, but looks like he is about 10 years old. Anyway, I heard he can “sang” and it is quite obvious why he was signed by LA and Ursh…

ALLHIPHOP READER STAR ENCOUNTER

My boy Turk hit me with the time he met Suge Knight.

yo illseed, i also met suge last thanksgiving in hollywood(i think it was club les deaux), and like the dude today said, he is very down to earth, and dont roll with security.  when i saw him he was with 2 of his homeboys(mexicans) and they were cool people too. we actually shot the s**t with them for a little over an hour, and suge was mad cool.  took pics with us and everything.  and he was constantly swarmed by others in the club and was relaxed about the whole deal.  one of my boys even walked up in his vip when his boy was like "hold up there" and suge aint care, he let us chill at his vip table too. there were a few cats that tried to freestyle for him in the parking lot after the night was over, it was kinda funny cuz they were ass, and suge kinda laughed them off.

BUCK-GATE ROLLS ONWARD

The reason Buck said he hadn’t seen any royalty checks by G-Unit, because 50 Cent allegedly took that money to replay the money loaned to cover back taxes.

Nobody has really heard from Young Buck, but I am hearing that he hasn’t really indicated any beefs with G-Unit yet. As early as last weekend, Buck performed in Detroit and didn’t hint at any internal strife.

ILLSEED’S QUICKIES

I want to pause and send a shout out to the homey Oath, who has a real zooted Mike Jordan as an avi.

If Jay-Z should pull out of the Glastonbury UK Festival, Prince or Radiohead might leap in to replace him.

I hear that when Mike Vick is playing football in the bing, he acts as the OQ for both teams.

Meth and GZA have teamed up to release a double album of classic Wu Tang music and videos. Exclusive Meth footage will be included too.

So Talk Real Radio did an interview with FNF Artist Gemstones (????) and he said that Lupe Fiasco, Gem and Shayla G will do a new album together.

After announcing the Roc Nation deal with Live Nation, is it possible that Jay-Z is still working on a deal with Warner Music? Strangely enough, I am hearing that the Carter Music Group may still end up over there with Kevin and Lyor with a crop of new artists.

I heard Patrick Swayze is doing well and treatment is serving him well! Swayze ain’t going to be swayze anytime soon.

Congrats to Ray-J. Despite my hate, he is reportedly the highest selling single on iTunes for this week.

SIGNS THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END

You know the video game culture is out of control. We have super grown men playing games and that’s cool. The only thing some of these men are acting like they are easily influenced children. Case in point: a two-year old kid was beaten to death with a video game controller by a 26-year-old man. The man? The boyfriend of the child’s mother. The kid died in the Penn State Hershey Medical Center this past Monday. Harve L. Johnson, 26, admitted to beating the young girl to death in her mother’s apartment. Right now he is charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, endangering the welfare of a child, reckless endangerment but you better believe its getting upgraded to homicide. But this wasn’t an isolated situation. He had abused the child in the past and even bit her. The mother did nothing to help her daughter and has been charged with endangering the welfare of children. She needs to get a homicide charge too.

Shout out to Big Mike.
