Birdman Has Been Given Diplomatic Immunity Via The Obama Administration?
I can’t believe this… The Obama administration basically gave Birdman diplomatic immunity?? … I think this is truly false. All those typos and too many things wrong…. The Hague Conventions in 1961 weren’t about Diplomatic Immunity…. it was about the protection of minors…. which Birdman is not!…. However the Vienna Convention of Diplomatic Relations in 1961 was about Diplomatic Immunity…. I’m callin’ fairytales…. I don’t think Obama would be that DUMB!
Thanks to Miss Info for this fallacie… LOL I love my N’awlins rappers but some of them are some LIARS….. Anyway peep the video of Birdman saying how he can do whatever he wants, besides catching a body…

Sons Of Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, Jam Master Jay & More Shopping Seeds Of Hip Hop Reality Show
It seems that everyone wants a piece of the reality TV pie, and the latest group to come to the table just happens to be the children of rap stars.
The sons of N.W.A members, E-40, and Run DMC member, Jam Master Jay, are shopping around their own show, TMZ reports.
The show—aptly titled, Seeds of Hip Hop—is set to star Dr. Dre's son, Curtis Young , Eric “Lil Eazy” Lynn Wright Jr., MC Ren's son, Anthony Dunbar, E-40's offspring, Droop E, and Jay's son, Jason Mizell Jr. There aren't any solid details behind the program, but all of the men are in their 20s, and come from musical families, so that will likely have something to do with the plot.
Seeds of Hip Hop is backed by a production company that's confident that a network will snatch up the show. It could end up on VH1, BET, TV-One, or FUSE TV, which are the stations that it is being shopped to.
All of the men are looking to follow in the famous footsteps of their parents, while blazing their own trails. Young, for example, didn't meet his father until he was an adult, but has a solid fan following, and his own label.
The other men have also done things in their respective lanes, including Droop E who's known for collaborating with his father.
Texans WR Andre Johnson Drops $19K On Toy Shopping Spree For Kids
Earlier this week, Texans receiver, Andre Johnson, made a group of kids’ Christmas a lot brighter when he hosted his annual holiday shopping spree at Toys “R” Us; compliments of the Andre Johnson Charitable Foundation.
12 children selected by Child Protective Services were given 80 seconds to fill their shopping carts with as many items as possible.
“You hear a minute and twenty seconds and you don’t think that’s a long time, but you’d be surprised by what these kids can put into their buckets,” Andre said afterward.
Each child was guaranteed an entertainment system of their choice along with two video games, and they also grabbed items such as Barbie dream houses and digital cameras.
The Andre Johnson Charitable Foundation hosts several community events in the Houston area and in his hometown of Miami. He says that the Toys “R” Us event is definitely one that he enjoys.
“I think it’s probably the best one because you get to see the kids really enjoy it. That’s what this season is about. It’s something I look forward to. The kids are happy, they get what they want for Christmas, and that’s all that matters.”
He continues; “All the kids that have been here every year have gotten gifts for their brothers and sisters or cousins or whoever. It just shows what they go through that they think about others. It shows what type of kids they are. A lot of these kids get discouraged because of where they grew up and things like that. I grew up in a single-parent home and I was fortunate to achieve my goals. So, whatever goals you have, just keep them out in front of you, don’t let anybody distract you away from them, because there will be distractions that try to detour you away from your goals. That’s the biggest thing.”
And in speaking on what he’d like for Christmas, he revealed that there is one more goal that he’d like to accomplish this season; “That’s easy, a Super Bowl. I don’t need anything. If I can get a Super Bowl, that’d be just fine.”
Brooke Bailey BLASTS The "BBW: LA" Cast, Bambi Reponds!
As we prepare for tonight's finale of "Basketball Wives LA" and part 1 of the reunion show. Brooke Bailey has let it all hang out exactly what she feels about all her castmates. And NONE of it is pretty. Find out how she blasted the cast for being fake ho*s inside, plus Stacey Dash's newest venture...
"BBW: LA" star Brooke Bailey called into Street Disciplez Radio and dished on Draya getting famous for smashing famous dudes like Chris Brown, and not being a real model. And she also called Malaysia fake and revealed just how badly she beat Jackie's ass. Oh, and she address Natalie Nunn (former "Bad Girls Club" star) about saying any of her body parts are fake--aside from her boobs.
ON WHETHER SHE'S STILL DATING VERNON MACKLIN:
"We're cool, but we're not dating anymore, no."
ON HER BEEF WITH BAMBI:
"She's delusional. I never had a situation with her, she had one with me, and she never really confronted me about it."
ON JACKIE CHRISTIE:
"I really beat her ass. It got so real to where I blacked out; I remember her kicking me. After that, I don't remember anything until security was trying to get me up off of her. But you know what, I have to give Jackie props because out of all the girls that I pressed and confronted about little sneaky sh*t or the shade they was trying to throw, she was the only b*tch that stood up and said 'this is what I'm saying.' She never backed down from what she was saying, so I kind of respect her for that."
ON DRAYA AND THEIR KING MAGAZINE COVER BEEF:
"I always felt that Draya was a fun girl. She's never been a model, she's never my competition in the industry. Whatever she does, that's her business, and I respect however she gets her money, that's cool. But what I can't respect is if you want to pop your collar, that's cool, but b*tch, don't try to un-pop mine."
ON DRAYA BEING A "FUN GIRL" AND NOT A MODEL:
"She's done modeling, but the basis of her career started from her f*cking Chris Brown. When you're dating a rapper, of course you're going to be in other people's videos or their videos because that's what you're around. It doesn't mean that you're a model, it doesn't mean that. She's never had to audition, she's never had to do the things that I've done to build my career. She didn't have to learn protocol. That's why when it came to business, she f*cked up."
ON MALAYSIA:
"She's fake as f*ck, and that's how I feel to this day."

Flo Rida Making it RAIN cash on audience at Jingle Ball... despite owing $1m in taxes
Money doesn’t grow on trees and he should know only too well after learning he owes over $1million in tax.
But Flo Rida was flashing the cash without a care in the world on Saturday as he performed to a crowd at Y100’s Jingle Ball.
The rapper - whose real name is Tramar Dillard – graced the stage inside the BB&T Center in Sunrise, Florida sporting a gold medallion which perfectly matched his microphone.
The 32-year-old rapper performed with a wad of cash, thought to amount up to $500, in his hand and sprinkled it among the crowd of youngsters.
While the amount is probably only peanuts to a flashy musician such as Flo Rida, it certainly made him popular with the audience.
They seemed rather appreciative of the gesture and reached out for him as he floated amongst the crowd on the shoulders of a bodyguard.
It probably helped that he took his fur-lined long-sleeve top off to reveal a tattooed chest, only leaving his snakeskin trousers and Ralph Lauren boxer shorts on.
He was joined for his performance by pink-haired singer StacyC as well as some children who had the pleasure of dancing with him on stage.
Meanwhile in September he was alleged to have racked up a sizable unpaid tax bill.
Apparently he owes the IRS $1,040,777.45, reports Gossip Extra, and the federal agency has put a lien against his South Florida estate.
According to legal documents the IRS filed in Miami-Dade County Court on September 7, the rapper – whose real name is Tramar Dillard – hasn’t filed taxes since 2009, the year the Wild One bought his 2.3-acre property for $1.6 million.
He's also in a legal tussle with ADT, the biggest home security company in the U.S., who wired up Flo’s mansion with a $58,000 security system.
However, Flo is claiming that he never authorized the work.

They got a receipt that said Thank You FAT GIRLS?
Bullied On A Receipt: California Restaurant Server Identified Customers As ‘Fat Girls’
Wow… I’ve never encountered anything like this and I can imagine how these three ladies must have felt to see themselves being referred to as ‘fat girls.’
The three ladies said they were ‘shocked and outraged‘ when they dined at Chilly D’s Sports Lounge in Stockton, CA.
The women say apologies can’t erase the sour taste the insult left in their mouths.
Bullied was on the menu at a California restaurant where three women say they were identified as “fat girls” on their bill.
Christine Duran, Christina Huerta and Isabel Robles say their enjoyable meal at Chilly D’s Sports Lounge in Stockton, Calif., ended painfully Thursday when a waiter plopped down the offensive receipt on their table.
“I got the bill, and I was like ‘Why does the receipt say ‘fat girls’?’”
Her friends refused to believe her.
“I was laughing at her, and she was like ‘I’m serious.’ I’m like ‘No, it does not say fat girls. Let me see it,’” Huerta said.
WATCH:
The women confronted their waiter, who denied any involvement. He said the slur was likely entered by Jeff, the server who had taken their order. The establishment has apologized!

Dawn Richard Covers "ROLLING OUT", Dishes On Business Struggles & Surviving The Industry
Dawn Richard knows both sides of the music business. As a former member of both Danity Kane and Dirty Money, she's seen the heights of a pop star and the sometimes lows of being an unsigned independent artist. But with the success of her Armor On EP and her upcoming disc, GOLDENHEART, she's turned many-a-naysayers into believers.
In the latest issue of ROLLING OUT, the New Orleans native talks about growing as a solo artist and what she's done to establish a trusting support system as she builds her story through music. And chick looks fly as always while doing so. Here are the highlights:
On how she's grown as an artist:
With music, and as well as me as a woman, I think that I have grown tremendously. I think that a lot of it has to do with being around great people, starting with Danity Kane and “Making the Band” … being thrown out there without warning, it really caused me to grow up really fast. I always describe my situation with Danity Kane and then to Dirty Money as me going from high school to college. And now with me being a solo artist, I’m ready to go out into the world and start my own career. Danity Kane groomed me for Dirty Money and what that process was like as a songwriter having to work with such amazing people like Grace Jones, Nicki Minaj, Bilal, T.I., Justin Timberlake — just all of these amazing people that I worked with on the Dirty Money project. And then to be a solo artist, and not having a label, I’ve had to take everything that I learned before, and apply it to my current situation. Because of that, I think that I have grown tremendously. I think that it has prepared me to do this alone with just five people.
On life as a solo artist after Danity Kane and Dirty Money:
It was a rude awakening. But it’s like I said before … It’s like going to college, and then having everything hand fed to you, only to get out into the real world to apply for a job, only to realize that 30 other people have a lot more experience than you. Even though you have all of these great degrees, you still have to go out and prove yourself. This is the same thing to me. I’m up for the challenge … I’ve always been one to smile in the face of danger, so this is just another obstacle that I have to cross.
On keeping a loyal support team around:
Easy, I can smell fake from 10 miles away. If it looks fake, if it smells fake, it is fake. Plain and simple, I don’t want “yes people” around me; I want smart people around me. With that being said, that’s why there are five people around me. A lot of people want to be with you and tell you “yes” to get where you are and steal the shine.
You have to keep your circle tight, because if you don’t and you let everybody in, you’ll contaminate what’s pure about the whole art. Whatever is innocent, pure, raw and honest will be tainted by something that’s fake and dry and stupid. I don’t want to do that, so if you’re “yessing me” then good-bye; we can be friends from 70 feet away. I need someone who’ll tell me the truth.
On why listeners should buy her album:
I don’t have a pitch. If you want something different, buy it … it’s not even mad deep, it’s good music. I’m not here to sell you an idea; I’m here to give you good music. Now, whether or not you want to buy it, it’s up to you. I personally think that people want something new … I’m just some of that new s— — it’s that simple. I think people are tired of being sold an idea or being told to do something. I want them to figure it out for themselves. I want them to see this, hear it, buy it, check it out online, and then make their own decision about whether or not they like it. If you like great music, I think you should buy this album. I’m just doing what I can do to make this message the best it can be, but I’m not here to pitch you anything …
Dawn's album GOLDENHEART is expected to drop January 15, 2012. Loves it.
