TODAY'S RUMORS!

BEEF AT THE BIRDMAN BASH

Shelz has a report from the Birdman’s Birthday bash.

So there was some sort of altercation at Birdman's Birthday bash between TI's PSC Crew and the bros from Shawty Lo's crew D4L. In the wake of Big Kuntry Kane's alleged busted lip we have a video (of course). Now this is supposed to be a diss piece, but there is one very important facet the boys from D4L forgot. To diss someone, the folks you are talking to have to be able to understand what you are saying. As a matter of fact, I have several issues with this video…. So I'm giving suggestions for the Shelz Directors Cut.

1. Try to get some light on your subjects before you are 2:00 in.

2. Refrain from spitting on the camera lens.

3. If you're in tight quarters with no chicks around, I'd suggest all young men be fully dressed.

4. Please try to wait until the camera stops rolling before you give your homie the "Did I just f**k up?" side eye.

And one more thing, take all that Laffy Taffy out of your mouth before you address the viewing audience. I live in the A and even I can't understand what he's saying.

Lesson complete.

TERRENCE DEAN STRIKES AGAIN

I heard that Terrence Dean character is at it again. Yesterday morning on Atlanta's Hot 107.9 morning show, the "Hiding in Hip-Hop" author was on the air and gave a full blown expose on rappers, but didn’t give out any names. Here is what he said of the rappers:

-A rapper from Houston that said his name a lot and gave out his number

-The conversation with Deelishius that we talked about before

-Then the morning show hosts asked him what about a rapper who just sold 2 million and he said,, yes that rapper is a homosexual.

This dude is going to get body-bagged and tagged if he doesn’t be careful. Rappers are gangster and really don’t take that mess.

MISS JONES BOOTED FROM PHILLY?

Uh-OH…. “Miss Jones in the Morning” is gone from Philly, I am hearing. I don’t know why somebody in Philly didn’t hit me up with this information, but I heard Miss Jones has been let go. Her last day was Monday, according to reports. She was in New York at Hot 97 and then transported to WPHI (100.3 the Beat)/Philadelphia. Now, I heard they just have an all-music, no-talk format for the early morning commute. No word on what’s next for Miss Jones in Radio Land, but this cannot be a good look. Still, I think she has a TV venture on BET.

ROSCI RUNNING GAME?

AW man. You know I know Rocsi despises my guts. What can I say? I have to do what I have to do. I’m not 100% sure where this came from, but I think its from Bossip.com. But it was emailed to me that Rocsi was all over Lisa Raye’s hubby’s house in a bathrobe. But the crazy thing is that Lisa Raye admitted to Jawn Murray

Lisa Raye told him personally that Rocsi was having an ‘out in the open’ affair with her husband and that she was going to come on the air and give out her husband’s personal phone numbers so anybody who wanted to could call and ask him why he’s being such a asshole parading his mistress around. I bet Gary Payton’s wife is saying, “That’s what you get bitch!” You ain’t know? LisaRaye was rumored to have been Gary’s thing on the side for years, despite his marriage.

R. KELLY SABOTAGED JOE’S CAREER?

R. Kelly and Joe were once label mates at Jive Records. Well, in a recent interview wth Eurweb.com, Joe alleged that Kellz hated on him and his once stellar career.

"R. Kelly was very instrumental in making a lot of decisions when it came to my records being played on the radio. He would make a call to the radio station or to the label and say, 'Hey, this Joe record is too hot right now. Yall need to pull that back.' And they would oblige."

Now Joe is indie and wants revenge!

"It's incredible that now I get the opportunity to, I don't know, maybe pay [R. Kelly] back in some sort of side bar kind of thing."

"I'm still very relevant in the game. But yeah, he did try to make some decisions when it came down to my records being on fire, and climbing up the charts and on the radio stations. He felt like they should pull back because he felt he was more important. And with their loyalty to him, they obliged."

Joe drops on Sept. 22 via Kedar Entertainment Group.

WOMAN DIES AT LIL’ KIM PARTY?

They are saying that a woman was found dead in a utility closet yesterday on the roof of Times Square night club Spotlight. Here is the brief:

The woman, 24 year old Ingrid Rivera, was identified yesterday by her parents, after her mother reported her missing following her Sunday night attendance at a birthday party at Spotlight for Brooklyn rapper Lil Kim.

Rivera, a Queens, New York resident, was last seen having an altercation with bouncers reportedly over her alcohol intake.

She was surreptitiously separated from her friends by bouncers and was never heard from again.

No suspects have been named yet, but click here for the entire story.

MAX B TALKS ABOUT JIM JONES AND SHOOTING

Max B aka the wavy Silver Surfer right here.

He talks about Jim and how he has a NEW situation. But Jim Jones has stated that Max B is still under contract with him. He says, “Jim don’t want that wave to pop off.” I think Max B thinks he can beat Jim. He did seem to express that he could get back… Anyway…just check that audio.

ILLSEED’S QUICKIES

With a huge rock on her ring finger, Rihanna and Chris Brown are reportedly engaged.

Aw man! This is crazy. They are saying the Morgan Freeman’s wife is going to divorce him – right after the car accident! (Morgan just got caught out there, g. I wonder if he was getting a “Teddy Pendergrass?”) Click here if you want to see how Morgan used to rap in the 70s.

Usher and his mother have reunited. He’s re-hired her as his manager.

Mary J. Blige is staring at a $2 million federal suit where a producer is charging that the Queen of Hip-Hop and R&B stole songs from her CD Growing Pains .

They are saying that Lauryn Hill’s youngest child (7 months old) has no name yet. In the meantime, they allegedly call the kid “Baby Marley” until they decide on a moniker.

Former porn star Jenna Jameson is pregnant with former Ultimate Fighting Champion Tito Ortiz. I wonder if they will name the baby “Former.”

Detox is coming. All these new businesses for Dr. Dre are meant to lead up to the release of the new album. He is about to launch "Aftermath Cognac," an 80-proof liquor.

RANDOM QUOTES

Big Boi talking the talk as it pertains to his music in 2008 [Read full story here]:

“We’ve sold 40 million records worldwide and won awards so at this point there is nothing to prove. Everybody knows what we are about so right now it’s just all about making good, good music. So as long as it’s still fun for me and I still got my heart in it I’m gonna keep my foot on these n****s necks.” [Got Killer Mike?]

Lil Wayne reportedly rapped this in an interview:

“I’m gon’ eat a Xanny / I’m gon’ eat some candy And the candy prolly won’t help But if it makes you feel good, it’s good for your health!”

Toby Keith needs to shut up...what an idiot.

“Even though the black society would pull for him I still think that they think in the back of their mind that the only reason he is in [the general election] is because he talks, acts and carries himself as a Caucasian.”

THE DUDE THAT MAINO SLAPPED IS REALLY PISSED

GUESS WHO?

Mike Jack and the kids!

Guess who?

I know Beyonce is “Creole,” but damn – she’s not that light!

SIGNS THE WORLD IS COMING TO AND END

A recent report suggests that there has been an absolute surge in the purchase of pantyhose in America and Europe. According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution Journal, this rage is interested, because the people buying the hosiery are MEN. That’s right and they are saying that men are buying sheer, satin, glossy, opaque or support pantyhose in record numbers. Now, they have company’s making pantyhose just for men to compensate for the rage. Why? Well, some are saying its because Heath Ledger aka Dark Knight’s Joker made it fashionable when he dressed up as a nurse in the movie. Uh, OK. Others say they are rockin’ the pantyhose, because they provide sweet insulation from the cold. What happened to long johns? Others say this previously support, stimulate circulation and alleviate muscle fatigue. RIGHT. Some other quack related the explosion of panty hose purchases by men to the rising energy prices. UH, RIGHT. Anyway, I think she is wild like Canadian wolverines.
