PHAEDRA, ANGELA, VIBE MAG & THE 30 MILLION DOLLAR
LAWSUIT!
Phaedra Parks is suing Vibe Magazine for defamation of character for
publishing Angela Stanton's book, "Lies of a Real Housewife: Tell the Truth and
Shame the Devil..."
Documents secured by Court House News Service state,
In 2000, Parks says, she represented Atlanta rapper Drama for a probation violation. Drama introduced Parks to his-then girlfriend, Angela Stanton, and Parks represented her at a sentence-modification hearing, but "plaintiff has never had any formal or informal employment relationship with Stanton," the complaint states.
It continues: "Plaintiff has never participated in any criminal activities with Stanton. "Plaintiff did not socialize with Stanton on any regular basis and does not consider (and never has considered) her to be a close friend or confidant.
"Stanton is a convicted felon and has served multiple terms in prison.
"Around February of 2010, Stanton began a personal crusade of false attacks against plaintiff.
"Specifically, Stanton began posting false and defamatory accusations about plaintiff on Twitter and otherwise made false and defamatory statements about her to third persons in the community.
"In March of this year, defendant published and promoted Stanton's false and defamatory accusations on the Internet, and as a direct result, Stanton's personal and unfounded vendetta against plaintiff went viral on the Internet.
"Defendant interviewed Stanton and broadcast her false and defamatory accusations in articles and videos on its websites.
"Defendant eventually published Stanton's accusations in a book available for online purchase by the public.
"Defendant's publications of the online interviews and the book concerning plaintiff imply, as a whole, that plaintiff is an attorney who has engaged in criminal activity and is worthy of public scorn and contempt.
"The false statements published by defendant are defamatory per se and damages to the reputation of Plaintiff are presumed as a matter of law."
Phaedra is seeking $5 million in compensatory damages, $25 million in punitive damages, attorney fees and a published retraction from Vibe.

But wait there’s more to this! Angela responds!
Now that Phaedra Parks has hit VIBE with a $30M lawsuit, Angela Stanton has responded to suit saying she is ready for battle and questioning why Phaedra is attacking VIBE instead of her. I told you earlier about the dirty little tell-all by Angela Stanton, “Lies of a Real Housewife: Tell the Truth and Shame the Devil…,” that made claims of Phaedra Parks having participated in criminal activity. Now, Phaedra is suing to clear her name...but wait....she's suing VIBE Mag, NOT Angela.

In recently filed docs, Phaedra claims VIBE published and promoted the book
which caused the "false and defamatory accusations" to go viral on the Internet.
So she is technically suing VIBE for promoting Angela's "lies" and defaming her
character.
The suit seeks $5 million in compensatory damages along with $25 million in
punitive damages, payment for court fees, and a printed retraction from the
magazine.
Even though she is not named in the suit, Angela had plenty to say in
response to the filings.
Lordy I tell ya this damn drama…LOL!!!
HMMMM I don’t think Brandy is using Monica..or is she just in another place?
Brandy has had one roller coaster of a year so far. After reuniting with
her "Boy Is Mine" co-star, Monica, for the single "It All Belongs to Me," she
suffered the devastating loss of her longtime friend and mentor, Whitney
Houston.
The singer has spoken at length about the impact Houston had on her life, both as a child and as an entertainer in her own right. And her connection to Whitney lives on, in part, through the title of her upcoming album, Two Eleven, which commemorates both Brandy's birthday and the day that Houston died.
The singer has spoken at length about the impact Houston had on her life, both as a child and as an entertainer in her own right. And her connection to Whitney lives on, in part, through the title of her upcoming album, Two Eleven, which commemorates both Brandy's birthday and the day that Houston died.
While she honors the past, at this point in her career, Brandy's looking to break new ground. She recently put out her new Bangladesh-produced single, "Put It Down." The song is a trunk-rattling plea for respect and chivalry, which is quite the contrast from much of the material on the radio today, which seems singularly focused on getting sloppily drunk (in the club, of course), taking a warm body home or twerking on a pole for dollar bills.
The site Bark & Bite recently had the chance to catch up with Brandy and she
gave them the latest on her upcoming album, her feelings about her Behind the
Music special and the possibility of a tour with Monica.
Bark + Bite: Tell us about the new single. How's the reception been for
"Put It Down"?
Brandy: Oh my god, the reception has been amazing. The core fans are loving
it, they can't believe how different it is for me. And I love taking risks in
music and it's great to challenge yourself to be different. That's what I love
about the song. I can't wait till it really hits the radio waves and we do the
video for it and it really takes off.
Bark + Bite: It's interesting that you mentioned specifically trying
something different. The trendy thing for you to do would've been to hook up
with a European DJ and try your hand at a dance-pop single, as so many other
R&B and hip-hop artists are doing now. What made you want to link up with
Bangladesh instead?
Brandy: I try to follow my spirit and my intuition when it comes to music
because intuition never leads you down the wrong path and I haven't been
following it for a very long time. Bangladesh was someone that I've always
admired, someone I was always a fan of and I remember before I even signed to
Chameleon or RCA, I just went to the studio and hung out with him. I just
listened to what he was doing and I could hear myself singing over those
knockin', hard-ass beats. And I just felt it.
It organically happened, the connection with Sean Garrett and I, because
Sean Garrett is one of the few writers that can write to a Bangladesh beat. So
it all was in sync, and that's how I knew it was the right thing. Because it
happened naturally.
Bark + Bite: So is Bangladesh doing the bulk of the album or just a few
tracks?
Brandy: He definitely set the foundation for the sound of the album, but I
took a chance with this album because usually I work with one producer and kind
of go out a little bit just to do the fill-ins or the ballads. But I really
ventured out and worked with a lot of different people this album. Rico Love is
a big part of the album, Ester Dean...just different people.
Bark + Bite: Is there any chance of a reunion with Timbaland for this
album?
Brandy: We're working on that. I was supposed to record with Timbaland a
couple of weeks ago, but you know sometimes when you're that much of a genius,
sometimes your schedule kind of goes four or five different ways so we're trying
to lock him down to stay in one place so I can actually go and work with him.
But I definitely don't want to let this album go out without us at least trying
to let the magic happen.
Bark + Bite: You've already worked with Frank Ocean in the past, but you're
said to have completed work with him for the new album, right?
Brandy: Yeah, I love Frank Ocean. I tease him all the time that I knew
before everyone else knew how special he was. It's always great to work with
him, he's such a young genius just coming into his own.
He gave me a great song called "Scared of Beautiful" and I think the
meaning of that record is just so huge. It could be taken in so many different
ways and there are so many double entendres going on in that song. Just people
who are afraid to succeed, people who are afraid to love, people who are afraid
of being the best version of who they are. That's how it can relate to everyone.
I really hope that it makes the album, I really hope it does.
Bark + Bite: Your VH1 Behind the Music recently aired. It was a pretty emotional special. What was it like for you to watch it?
Brandy: I actually have never seen it. I lived it and I was definitely open
in talking about it, so there's no need for me to watch it. It felt like a
weight was lifted and I appreciate VH1 wanting to do a Behind the Music with me
because it was so needed for me just personally and emotionally.
Just being able to tell my story and be very transparent with the people
that loved me for so long and also, to reach the people that were confused about
the things that happened or were judgmental or whatever the case may be. I was
able to confront that.
And taking responsibility always relieves you in so many ways. So it was very liberating for me, and I was so glad I did that because now I don't have to talk about any of that anymore. It can really be about going forward and what my music represents and what my life is and my purpose.

Bark + Bite: The really interesting thing was that after the special aired,
Never Say Never shot up the iTunes R&B charts. It shows that there's still a
connection with your fans to your story. How did it feel seeing that reception
to one of your old works and did that motivate you to strengthen that connection
with your new album Two Eleven?
Brandy: It definitely was scary, because it was like, "WOW! Should we have
the album come out right now?! What's going on?"
I'm very pleased with how people responded to the old music and how they
related the music to what I was going through in my life at the time. But
definitely, I've always tried to be honest in my music. It just doesn't work for
me otherwise. I can't sing songs I don't feel. I can't get a good vocal out of
those songs. But yeah, I look forward to seeing what people have to say about
the new album and hopefully they'll love it as much as I do.
Bark + Bite: So you mentioned you're prepping to roll out the single, the
video. What's the timeline looking like for the project?
Brandy: The timeline for the single is now. We're just working out all the
dates for the director, myself and Chris. You know, Chris is a superstar, so
we're just trying to lock that whole thing down.
I'm making sure we have the right video because one of the things that I
feel has been missing for a very long time with me is visuals. So we just wanna
make sure we have the right visual and I really believe everything is in divine
time.
We're looking at the end of summer for the album and we just wanna make
sure everything is right. This is the shot to get it right. Everybody is falling
back in love with what they're seeing and we just don't wanna eff it up!
So we're patient, but we don't wanna be too laid back with it where we
don't give the fans what they want, when they want it. But greatness takes time
and we wanna make sure this project is as great as it can be. And we appreciate
everybody being patient, especially the core fans.
Bark + Bite: There was talk of you possibly hitting the road with Monica for a joint tour. Is that still in the works?
Brandy: Um, honestly, we haven't really talked about it since we stopped
promoting "It All Belongs to Me." I just honestly think Monica and I are in
different places in our music. And my vibe is a little bit different this time
around so I don't know. I kind of wanna do my own thing. I definitely feel like
the fans would want a tour from us, but I don't know, I just feel like I'm being
pulled in a different direction. I'm definitely still open to it, but right now
I'm looking in a different way right now for me.
Well what do you think? Is she almost honest, or
like her song says “Almost doesn’t count”
Gabrielle Union: Miss Miami Bikini Babe
Spending a relaxing day on the beach, Gabrielle Union and her friend
Savannah Brinson caught some rays in Miami
The 39-year-old showed off her rocking physique in a tiny white bikini that
she paired with a cowboy hat and tweeted earlier today sharing, “Some military
members fight a mental, emotional, financial, spiritual war when they return
home, let's take care of our troops!”
The “Think Like a Man” star went on to add, “As an African-American woman,
culturally we have been told that we have natural protection against the sun —
but we’re absolutely part of the one in five. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve seen
relatives’ moles change shape, and they think ‘That’s cute — it’s like Janet
Jackson!’ But it’s not cute — it’s called melanoma.”
The actress is working with Neutrogena to promote its healthy skin campaign
and fight against skin cancer.
Is Madonna really giving Lady Gaga some SHADE?
In a further bid to paint Lady GaGa as the ‘How I Met Your Mother‘ to her
‘Friends‘, Madonna is to perform a ‘mash-up’ of her ‘Express Yourself‘and the
Lady’s ‘Born This Way‘ to prove how similar the cuts are to each other.
Sure to ruffle many a Monster feather, today saw rehearsal footage from
Madonna‘s upcoming ‘MDNA Tour’ emerge online, giving fans a teaser as to what
they can expect from the controversial cover.
Watch her in action:
Ouch at ‘She’s Not Me’.
Though we can’t but applaud Madonna for her lighthearted take on the
matter, we’d be lying if we said we weren’t annoyed for GaGa and the producers
behind ‘Born’.
For, taking its well meaning message and production value into account it’s a shame it’s being dragged through the mud over a feud GaGa doesn’t take seriously enough to engage in-publicly.

Usher Admits To Having “Many Women” In GQ Interview
Chart topping R&B singer Usher, who’s currently in a heated custody
battle with his ex-wife Tameka Raymond sat down with GQ magazine and talked
about his opinion on love and relationships. Read some of his thoughts
below.
“What were my issues? Well maybe not locking into one relationship! I was a
little bit more… experimental. I’ve had many women. And I understand how to deal
with a lot of different ones… But it is complicated when your reality is a
fantasy. Fame is the modern double-edged sword.”
“So, puh-lease, in no way, shape, form or fashion should you ever put them
in the same box or category. But I’ve learned what women like. Confidence. And
I’ve learned there is a softness that only a woman can possess. And you begin to
see it when they have something, like a child, to love.”

This is idiot is SUSPECT!
THIS IS HANNIBAL THE CANNIBAL DOWN in Miami!
This is the first look at the naked homeless man who ate another man's face
while high on a new potent form of LSD.
Rudy Eugene, 31, pictured in an old police mugshot was shot dead in Miami, Florida yesterday following the horrific attack where he ripped pieces of flesh from his victim.
His victim, another naked homeless man, was in a serious condition in a Miami hospital today suffering from 'some of the worst injuries staff had ever encountered'.

His victim, another naked homeless man, was in a serious condition in a Miami hospital today suffering from 'some of the worst injuries staff had ever encountered'.
A cyclist described the terrifying moment he witnessed a naked man tear
pieces of flesh from another man's face at the side of a freeway before being
shot dead by police when he refused to stop.
He told WSVN: 'The guy was like tearing him to pieces with his mouth and I told him to get off. But the guy just kept eating the other guy away, like ripping his skin.
'A police officer came over, told him several times to get off then climbed over the divider and got in front of him and said, "Get off!" But the guy just stood his head up like that with a piece of flesh in his mouth and growled.'
I believe Eugene was high on a potent form of LSD at the time.
His victim is in hospital recovering from his injuries which are said to be some of the most horrific staff have ever encountered.
Images taken from a Miami Herald surveillance camera show the legs of the two men lying beneath a freeway underpass.
Mr Vega described the crime scene - which he compared to a horror movie: 'It was just a blob of blood. You couldn't really see, it was just blood all over the place.
'It was one of the most gruesome things I have ever seen in my life in person. You know, you see these things in the movies but when you see it in person, it's pretty traumatic.'

Armando Aguilar of the Miami Fraternal Order of Police told WSVN: 'What's
happening is whenever we see that a person has taken all of his clothes off and
has become violent, it’s indicative of this excited delirium that's caused by
overdose of drugs.
'What's happening is inside their body their organs are burning up alive.'
A woman notified a police officer nearby that she had seen two men fighting, witnesses told The Miami Herald.

Javier Ortiz, a police spokesman, said that based on information he's received, the officer who fired the shots 'is a hero and saved a life'.
There were no weapons found near the two naked men, leading them to believe
that the attacker used his own strength to subdue his victim.
'There are other ways to injure people,' Sergeant Altarr William told The Herald.
'Some people know martial arts, others are very strong and can kill you with their hands.'

Traffic clogged the area for hours as people used the route to descend into South Beach for Urban Beach Week, an annual festival dedicated to hip-hop music.
