Michael Jordan Fined $100,000!
The statements that have Mike in trouble are as follows:
“The model we’ve been working under is broken. We have 22 or 23 teams losing money, so I think we have to come to some kind of understanding in this partnership that we have to realign.”
“I know the owners are not going to move off what we think is very necessary to put a deal in place that allows us to co-exist as partners. We need a lot of financial support throughout the league as well as revenue-sharing to keep this business afloat.”
“We have stars like Bogut, who are entitled to certain demands. But for us to be profitable in small markets, we have to be able to win ball games (affordably) and build a better basketball team.”
This isn’t his first time getting fined by the NBA either. He was fined $15,000 in 2007 after he commented about then-Texas freshman Kevin Durant in an interview with the Charlotte Observer.
Can you believe Michael Jordan is getting fined $100, 000???
Lil Wayne Pays $5 Million Tax Bill
News came out in April that Weezy F. Baby hadn’t been paying his taxes and that he owed the Feds $5.6 million. He even tried to sell his $14 million mansion to pay Uncle Sam off. Well it looks like Lil Wayne has cleared his debt to society by paying off that super bill. With Tha Carter IV being certified platinum this week, Lil Wayne is rolling in the dough. Glad to see he won’t be headed to jail over taxes like Wesley Snipes did a few years back.
What do you think? Should their be any reason these super rich entertainers can’t pay their taxes?

Lil Wayne Performs In Woodlands On His “I Am Still Music” Tour [Video x Pics]
On September 11th, Lil Wayne performed live in Woodlands, Texas at the Woodlands Pavilion for the final stop on his “I Am Still Music” tour. In the video above, Tunechi pays tribute to the victims of 9/11: “As a black man, it’s kinda tough to root for the home team given what we went through for this motherfucking home team, but I still can proudly say I am a motherfucking American”, as well as bringing out his blood brother Game to sing the “My Life” chorus. Weezy also told the crowd at this show that he doesn’t mind if you download Tha Carter IV: “Since I sold over a million copies, I don’t even care if you bootleg the motherfucker!” You can view some photos of Wayne performing in Woodlands after the jump below:

Jay-Z Has Child By Trinidadian Model
While wild hysteria has surrounded Beyoncé following the announcement of her pregnancy with husband Jay-Z, it looks like a dirty little secret has come out about. Apparently, 9 years ago, Jay-Z gave Trinidadian model Shenelle Scott the same baby bump! The the father of Shenell’s ex-boyfriend Malik Sayeed, sat down with Star and spilled the beans! According to Sayeed, “a the time [he] was born, my son Malik thought he was his child, but the did DNA tests. It’s been determined that [the child is] Jay-Z’s baby.”
According to Star, Beyonce was “livid” but as we see, still stands by her man. I don’t know if there is any denying it, but that baby looks just like Jay and he’s reportedly paying the model child support. Another source told Star,
“Malik threw [Shenelle] a baby shower and bought all this stuff to prepare for the arrival. However, after the baby was born, friends and family told him he needed to get a DNA test. Everyone knew she was sleeping around and sleeping with Jay. There was a good chance it was his.”
Sayeed’s father gives us the rest of the story, saying, “Maybe two weeks later, he called me and said, ‘Daddy, I got some bad news. [He's] not my son.’ I said, ‘How do you know, Malik?’ He said, ‘He doesn’t look anything like me!”
Once the DNA results were in, Malik kicked Shenelle and her child out of his house and Jay-Z had them sent back to Trinidad, where they live quite nicely.
“Shenelle told me that Jay-Z gave her $1 million to keep her mouth shut. My understanding is that he’s paying her child support. Shenelle took the money and bought herself a really nice hose in Trinidad that the whole family lives in now.”
According to their source, Jay-Z and his baby mama are cool, “She says he’s a good father and he has a lot interest in [the boy]. It was a big old mess at one time, but I think once they resolved the issue of fatherhood, of paternity, I think things started to level off.”
Well there you have it ladies and gentlemen. Do you believe this report?

‘T.I.’s Lawyers Prevented From Attending Hearings’, Do Yall Think This Is A Set Up?
It seem like the homie TIP just can’t get a break!!!! T.I.’s legal team won’t be able to challenge the recent decision to put him back behind bars. According to TMZ, Tips lawyers received a letter from the Federal Bureau of Prisons informing them that T.I. isn’t “entitled to legal counsel” while officials review the decision to place him back in prison. T.I.’s lawyers sent the Bureau a letter last week asking to be present during the hearings. The Bureau rejected their request, noting they had already held two hearings without the lawyers’ presence. TMZ says it’s unclear, however, as to what took place during those hearings.
T.I. was released from an Arkansas prison two weeks ago after serving ten months for a probation violation. He was supposed to finish the last month of his sentence at an Atlanta halfway house, but was placed back in prison less than two days after his release. T.I. reportedly broke the rules by allegedly traveling to Atlanta with more people than just his wife, and by allegedly conducting business during the trip. He is now scheduled to be released on September 29th.
Someone told me this was a setup but I will tell yall about that later!!!!

Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter IV Second Week Sales x Gets Portable Skate Ramp Built In Car
We already know that Lil Wayne went platinum with Tha Carter IV in the first week worldwide, but it has took Weezy 2 weeks to officially go platinum with C4 in the US. The album sold 219,000 copies this past week, bringing the total album sales in the US at: 1,183,000! Tunechi‘s Tha Carter IV album is currently still at the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart too.
In other news, Lil Wayne has had his own personal skate ramp built in to the back of his Cadillac Escalade. The ramp is portable and will pull in and out of his Escalade, which will let Wayne practice his skateboarding skills while he is on the road touring. You can read what TMZ reported below:
Lil Wayne has seriously ramped up his tour — TMZ has learned, the rapper is practicing his skateboard skills on the road, traveling around with his own personal skate ramp … in the back of an ESCALADE.Sources close to the rapper tell us, Weezy packed a portable quarter pipe into a trailer, pulled by an Escalade — and according to sources, the tricked out SUV follows the rapper’s tour bus 24/7.We’re told Wayne rips it whenever he wants — pulling over at random places on the road to squeeze in some much-needed board time … and he’s even hired a pro skater to coach him.
Asher Roth - Last Man Standing Feat. Akon (Official Video)
Last Man Standing is off Asher Roth's upcoming album Is This Too Orange. Asher's new album was formerly titles The Spaghetti Tree. I think Ash should have stuck withThe Spaghetti Tree. The spaghetti tree hoax was 3-minute broadcast on April Fools' Day 1957 by the BBC current affairs programme Panorama. The broadcast covered a family in southern Switzerland who was harvesting spaghetti from a fictitious spaghetti tree. The broadcast came at a time when spaghetti was not widely eaten in the UK and some Britons were unaware that spaghetti was a pasta made from wheat flour and water. Funny sh*t, hundreds of viewers phoned into the BBC asking how to grow their own spaghetti trees. Decades later CNN called this broadcast "the biggest hoax that any reputable news establishment ever pulled."

Video/Photo: Drake Attends Breakaway’s TIFF Block Party
Drake appears between 4:46-5:48 and 8:27-10:31.
Yonge Street was shut down from Dundas to Queen West to make way for dancers, drummers and an adult Asian elephant, who all made their way to the Elgin Theatre amid banging Bollywood music and colourful lights. Right behind the pachyderm was the cast for Breakaway, who arrived in rickshaws and waved to the screaming fans.
Brampton-bred newcomer Vinay Virmani couldn’t stop smiling at the fact his movie is receiving the loudest fanfare at TIFF. Drake, who makes a cameo in the movie, also rolled up in a rickshaw (sporting Raybans) alongside The Grid’s cover boy Russell Peters. Just when you think the ridiculous factor couldn’t be upped a notch, Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar (he provided a song in the film’s soundtrack) rode in on a horse and then jumped on a stage set up right across the fan pit to lip-synch a number—someone in the sound crew is probably going to get reprimanded for the audio trouble.

Alicia Keys Says Rumors About Swizz Beatz Cheating Are “Laughable”
Everyone’s been sitting around wondering what Alicia Keys has to say about Swizz cheating with a girl he met at Solange’s birthday party named Chris. Well, Alicia took to her twitter account yesterday and said that the situation is “laughable”. Check out her tweet:
I guess Alicia’s not letting things phase her seeing that today was Swizz Beats birthday and she also sent out a tweet wishing him a Happy Birthday. My only question is, what does she think now that Chris has come forward and put out a statement acknowledging that all of these things did in fact happen? Do you think that Chris’ prediction that Alicia will come forward and defend her man will be true? Only time will tell in this situation.
Gucci Mane Sentenced To Six Months In Prison
Gucci Mane is being carted away to prison yet again. This time, the rapper will be going to jail for pushing a 36-year old woman by the name of Diana Graham, out of his hummer truck as it rolled down a suburban Atlanta street. The ordeal went down January 28th. Gucci Mane pleaded guilty to two counts of battery, two counts of reckless conduct and one count of disorderly conduct.
In addition to the six months in prison, Judge Eleanor Ross ordered him to complete 12 weeks of anger management classes; pay $5,091 in restitution to the woman for her medical bills; and pay a $3,000 fine. If it’s not one thing it’s another. Welp! There have you have it folks. Be careful out here and try to make wise decisions

Chris Brown, Kelly Rowland, T-Pain, And Tyga Amaze At The F.A.M.E. Tour Kickoff
Chris Brown and Kelly Rowland kicked off their F.A.M.E. tour in Toronto, Canada to a sold out audience. While Chris may continue to get harassed by the media, it looks like fans don’t care anything about that and cherish his talent instead. Critics from the Toronto Sun had nothing but good things to say about Chris saying that he was the “whole package in terms of dancing, performing, and general showmanship.”
On the other hand, hottie Kelly Rowland did her thing too looking sexy as always. She performed a ton of her new material from her latest album Here I Am. In addition to this, she gave fans a treat by performing some of Destiny’s Child’s big hits.
Other performances from the show came from Tyga. Tyga’s album is set to release later on this year.
T-Pain also made an appearance at the show. T-Pain’s most recent song is 5 0′clock in the morning which features Wiz Khalifa and Lily Allen.
One thing is for sure, Chris Brown tore down the house in Toronto. This is his first show in Canada in six years and I can’t think of a better way to make a comeback to the city.
Tupac’s Mom Says She Feels Like He Died Yesterday
Today marks the 15th anniversary of rapper Tupac’s death. While it has been 15 years according to TMZ, his mother Afeni Shakur, says she feels like it was just yesterday that her son was shot dead. To honor Tupac’s death, she’s spending time with family and friends out in Northern California. She went on further to say that she feels the same pain now that she felt back in 1996.
While his mother is mourning, she is still putting forth effort to keep his name alive. She has built a strong foundation in his name titled Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation and the Tupac Shakur Center for the Arts located in Stone Mountain, Georgia. In remembrance of Tupac Shakur on the 15th anniversary of his passing,
“The Shakur Estate and Universal Music Enterprises are welcoming all fans of 2Pac and rap music to remember the life of a great man whose works and spirit have touched the world.

J. Cole Breaks His Leg, Postpones "Cole World... World Tour" Dates
The Sideline Kid broke his leg over the weekend, forcing him to reschedule dates on his current tour
J. Cole has been dealt a setback for his current "Cole World... World Tour" The Roc Nation rapper has reportedly broken his leg, according to a statement from Live Nation to the Broward New Times.
"Unfortunately, J. COLE, broke his leg last night [Friday] so his Florida shows have all been postponed. This includes Sunday, September 11th at Revolution Live in Ft. Lauderdale. Revolution will honor all current tickets for the new date being scheduled in October. Those requesting refunds for tickets purchased should do so at point of sale," read the statement.
Cole addressed his broken leg on his Twitter account, apologizing to fans for having to reschedule certain dates. He also posted a note on his Facebook page that has since been removed.
"Due to an injury sustained last night, J. Cole's shows originally scheduled for this weekend in Orlando and Ft. Lauderdale/Miami have been postponed. Orlando has been rescheduled for September 30. Ft. Lauderdale/Miami has been rescheduled for October 1. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused."
Serena Williams Dancing In Drake’s Apartment + Gets Angry At Referee
New video footage has hit the internet of superstar tennis player Serena Williams has hit the internet and she’s going wild! The footage, said to take place in one of Drake’s condos, shows Ms. Williams popping and dropping it like no other. A few months ago we reported about Serena Williams’ attempt to become a rap star, but this looks like the other side of the spectrum, but she’s getting it!
In other Serena news, it seems she had a run in with an official again. After being penalized for yelling, “come on,” at her opponent before the ball was out of play, she seems to have gotten pretty angry at the official and ranted,
“Don’t even look at me. I promise you, don’t look at me … Don’t look my way,” “What a loser,” “You’re a hater,” “A code violation because I expressed who I am? Really?” And the kicker was: “If you ever see me walking down the hall … walk the other way.”
Serena avoided the heavy fine of $82,500 and two-year probation that she received in 2009. Ms. Williams eventually lost the US Open final to Australian Samantha Stosur.
What do you think of the video and outburst?
Video: Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter IV Release Party x Speaks On Favorite Football Player
Above, you can watch some footage from Lil Wayne‘s Tha Carter IV album release party that was hosted at Boulevard3 on August 28th in Los Angeles, California. In the video, a few of the YMCMB artists speak on Weezy, what it’s like working with him, C4, and more! You can also view some photos from the red carpet, and you can read what Tunechi told to XXL Magazine about his favorite football player:
The NFL season kicked off last night (Septemberand football fans everywhere rejoiced. The Green Bay Packers beat the New Orleans Saints 42-34 in a action packed slugfest which came down to a nail biting goal line defending last play by the Cheeseheads.
There is no doubt that one of the biggest sports fanatics this side of the Mississippi, Lil Wayne, had his shades off and was watching the Pack versus his hometown heroes. While Thursday saw only one game played, this weekend, most of the other teams take the field and while the man with the biggest album in the world will enjoy the faceoffs, the NFL will never be the same for Wayne. Birdman, Jr.’s favorite player Brett Favre is retired—seemingly for good this time—and Weezy says there are no replacements.
“Who’s my favorite football player after Brett Favre?” Wayne asked XXLMag.com. “That’s my favorite football player. I ain’t got no other favorite football player! I’m a grown ass man. You don’t just jump to another nigga; ‘oh that’s my favorite now!’ Nah nigga, that’s my favorite football player; Brett Favre. Ain’t no other nigga could fuck with him.”
Wayne has actually gotten a chance to not just see the future Hall-Of-Famer play live over the years, but the two have met and Weezy even has some signed Favre sports paraphernalia. And when Wayne was in jail last year, Favre, who was a member of the Minnesota Vikings checked on Weezy and sent words of encouragement through then teammate and friend of the Young Money/Cash Money family Brian McKinney.
“Yea, yea. Yea that’s, you know, he from the South,” Wayne said of Favre compassion. “That’s just how we are from here, nah mean? I’m quite sure he’s aware of my admiration for him and his game, his career. He shows the same for me and mine.”

Bow Wow’s Album To Drop December 6th
Rapper Bow Wow’s
Cash Money debut will come out this upcoming December. Previously, fans had been told this November but now the album has pushed back. Reasoning behind the setback sounds like the typical statement that most artists release when their album gets pushed back.
Typical (Business Sh**) no biggie. This album is more important to me than anything. For the last 2 years I have been working on this album since the day I signed. Even while working onLottery Ticket and Madea’s Big Happy Family. I want this to be perfect not just for myself but for yall as well. No I’m not tryna build hype I believe the hype will build as we get closer to December and if you ask me the hype is already building.”
Bow goes on further to state on his blog site that the extra time will allow him to give more to his fans.
“I now have the time to give yall way more material and videos than before. Because of the distance between now and December, I’ll have one of the biggest album roll outs in my career. I have time to drop 2 singles before my album comes out as well as videos. Even ones off “Greenlight 4″ I now can successfully deliver the “Batman” and “Boy or girl” videos prior to my singles off Underrated and album release.”
Looks like Bow Wow is gearing up take the industry by storm especially with features from Lil Wayne, The Game, Chris Brown, Snoop Dogg, Fabolous, and a ton of other people. Are you excited about Bow Wow’s upcoming album?

Did Amber Rose And Wiz Khalifa Get Married?
Amber Rose has been telling everybody that she wants to be Wiz’s wifey and the mother of his children. From the looks of things, I’m starting to wonder if the couple secretly got married. A picture has surfaced on the net of Wiz and Amber out in Las Vegas just a few days ago. In the pic, Amber is seen wearing a white dress and Wiz is in a black tux. When have you ever seen Wiz wear a tux? Makes me think they got married on the low and didn’t tell anybody! To add to the mix, Amber tweeted the other day calling Wiz her husband.
Sources around the internet state that, the two have actually been engaged for about 4 months now but kept it on the hush as they wanted to reveal the big news at Wiz’s birthday. Wiz’s birthday was two days ago…so is the cat out of the bag? Amber hasn’t tweeted since Wiz’s birthday either. So are they on their honeymoon? What do you think of this matter? Are they married or what?
