SHOTS FIRED! Foxy Brown DRAGS Ashanti for Hanging with Her Ex-Fiance!
What’s Instagram without a little celebrity beef? Foxy Brown was caught being not-so-nice to singer Ashanti via IG recently, and it’s all over a man!

Foxy Brown has been laying low these days, but if there is one thing that can bring the Fox out of hiding, it’s a good ol’ catfight. Recently, Foxy blasted singer Ashanti for snapping selfies with her ex-fiance, reggae star Spragga Benz. The two took a picture together while Ashanti vacationed in Jamaica over the holidays. To be fair, Ashanti took lots of pictures with tons of different people, but the pic with Spragga Benz triggered Foxy something serious! 
Foxy Boogie was NOT amused…Then Foxy replied "Ashanti's thirsty ass."
“Thirsty a** Ashanti still d*ckridin!”
Ouch! Ashanti hasn’t responded, and something tells me she’s not going to! Hopefully this doesn’t turn into a back and forth. These two ladies just need to put out some good music, and keep it moving!

Toni Braxton’s Ex-Husband Keri Lewis Auctions Off Music Royalties
Toni Braxton’s ex-husband has auctioned off the royalties to nearly 80 of the songs he wrote, which he can hopefully use to get the lawsuit filed against him for back child support dismissed.
Braxton slapped her ex-husband Keri Lewis with a lawsuit demanding he be found in contempt for failing to pay his required child support for their two children.

The 47-year-old singer/reality star reportedly filed the legal battle in Georgia court for Lewis owing her back support for their two sons, Denim Cole Braxton-Lewis and Diezel Ky Braxton-Lewis.
According to Braxton’s bankruptcy documents, she is to receive $2k a month from Lewis for support for the 2 children they share together. The contempt lawsuit is seeking to have a court order find that Lewis has not been paying the ordered support and to have a order to get the back child support ASAP.

Lewis recently held an auction to sell off 100% of his future ASCAP royalties for a total of 78 songs he wrote. The auction ad stated that his music had generated money from everything from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Everybody Hates Chris and even Braxton Family Values.

Lewis reportedly attempted to sell his royalties for $16,500, but despite the auction ending with over 200 bidders it sold off for less than the asking price at $16,400.
Lewis may need the cash to pay up on the back support he owes Toni and hopefully get the contempt lawsuit dismissed. See the exclusive court docs. Courtesy of TheJasmineBrand

Marlon Wayans Beats Actor's Lawsuit Over Offensive Tweet
A judge decides that an actor's improvisation is part of the creative process
Marlon Wayans has successfully defended a lawsuit over an allegedly racially insensitive tweet after a California judge took an expansive view of how the First Amendment covers the creative process.
The lawsuit came this past August from Pierre Daniel, who was hired for a bit part in Haunted House 2. The plaintiff claimed he was subjected  to repeated offensive language on the set about his African-American race and given a comparison to a popular character from Fox's Family Guy. 

Here's what Wayans posted on Twitter in Sept. 4, 2013:
The link is to a side-by-side picture of the plaintiff on the left and the animated character Cleveland Brown:
In response to the lawsuit, Wayans filed an anti-SLAPP motion to strike the complaint. California law is designed to deter frivolous litigation that impinges protected First Amendment rights like free speech.
           
The plaintiff contended that the objectionable acts derived from racial harassment rather than true protected activity, but in an opinion on Dec. 31, Los Angeles Superior Court judge Rafael Ongkeko finds that Wayans' actions fall within the ambit of free speech. In past cases, things like casting decisions have been ruled to be part of the creative process furthering free speech. In the latest case, Judge Ongkeko goes so far as to deem humorous improvisation to be part of the creative process as well. The judge notes that Wayans has a "body of work that deals with racial humor" and elects to credit the spontaneity that happens on the set, especially when it results in something tangible like the development of an actual scene in the film itself.

"It is undisputed that plaintiff's brief role and purpose in the film was limited to his character, which developed eventually as the comical Cleveland Brown character," writes the judge. "The Cleveland Brown character, like plaintiff, obviously black, heavy (plaintiff's role cast him as a heavy-set furniture mover strong enough to move and lift the safe that flattened the dog), with curly 'Afro' hair (hence, the perm and Jheri curl jokes), were all incorporated humorously into the filming of the scene involving Wayans, his dog, and plaintiff. Indeed, plaintiff fulfilled his role as an extra. The transcripts and film clips show that plaintiff's concerns regarding Wayans' statements and conduct were part of the improvisational humor that was important to the creative process and should have come as no surprise to plaintiff as a participant in that process."

Still, even after determining that Wayans' Twitter post was connected to the humor emanating from Daniel's role in the movie and the promotion of Haunted House 2, that didn't end the judge's analysis. Wayans won the first part of the anti-SLAPP analysis, moving the judge to next examine Daniel's probability of prevailing on the merits of his claims.
Among the highlights: Judge Ongkeko rules that the Daniel is unlikely to prevail on his racial harassment claim because Wayans' actions weren't sufficiently severe to alter the conditions of the plaintiff's employment. The judge sees a likely loser in Daniel's misappropriation of likeness claim because of a signed waiver consenting to use of a photograph. And as for a false light invasion of privacy claim, the judge says Daniels has failed to indicate he suffered public ridicule or lost work.
Under California's SLAPP law, because Daniel can't demonstrate a likelihood of prevailing on claims arising from protected activity, the lawsuit goes no further. Wayans wins, and represented by William Briggs at Venable, he can also seek reimbursement of his legal fees.
“I am grateful that the judge upheld our constitutional rights of free speech," says Wayans about the ruling. "It's the first amendment and probably the most important for a comedian. This is also a stride toward in protecting public figures from often bogus claims and lawsuits. 
I am grateful now if you’ll excuse me I'm gonna go watch reruns of The Cleveland Show.”


Beanie Sigel RELEASED From Hospital After Being SHOT
Rapper Beanie Sigel has been released from the hospital after he was shot in the stomach outside of a New Jersey home last month.

According to reports, the Philly rapper (real name Dwight Grant) was involved in a physical altercation outside of a Jersey Shore home on Dec. 5th. Unfortunately, ish escalated quickly, which resulted in Beanie getting shot around 9:45 AM and rushed to a hospital to undergo surgery (pictured above).
It’s interesting to note, Beanie was suppose to be moved to a halfway house in Philadelphia after his release. But somehow the 40-year-old ended up in New Jersey and he clearly was at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Let’s hope he can keep his foolish activities to a minimum for 2015.


Bradley Cooper Goes Nude For W Magazine February 2015
He’s always been easy on the eyes, and Bradley Cooper brings the man candy for the February 2015 issue of W Magazine.
The “American Sniper” hunk poses in his birthday suit, covered up by a pair of light-colored folded trousers that hang in front of his “cash and prizes.” And though he’s now considered one of the hottest hunks in Tinseltown, Cooper previously admitted it wasn’t always that way for him.
"I was pretty as a child and I felt that I wasn't very manly and that plagued me for years. Not good-looking, but pretty in the wrong ways; in my mind I looked like a girl."

The new baby will make turn the Housleys in a family a four, joining big 2-year-old brother Aden. We’re kind of hoping they get a girl this time……And Now for the shade.....
While most of us were sending congratulatory messages to Tamera, one person had plenty to say about Tamera’s pregnancy announcement…and it isn’t coming from the nicest of places.

John Legend’s wife Chrissy Teigen peeped Tamera’s pregnancy declaration on Instagram last night. You'll recall, Tamera posted a picture holding up a ClearBlue pregnancy test to announce she was having another baby. In the caption, the daytime tv host wrote, “We are thrilled to announce we are #ClearblueConfirmed! Can't wait to meet baby #2! Love Clearblue's pregnancy test with Smart Countdown. It helped me get through the wait to get my result by counting down with me. #spon”

Well…Chrissy took to Twitter to throw a little shade Tamera’s way. She tweeted:

Really chick? Is she starting a daytime TV war already? You know she's set to appear on a new daytime lifestyle show with Tyra Banks titled "The FAB". Let the games begin....


Hey Ladies REMEMBER HIM?…Jeremy Meeks Well see WHAT’S NEXT for him!
Jeremy Meeks, who came to be known as “Hot Felon,” rose to explosive internet fame after the Stockton, California police department posted his mugshot back in June. Meeks’ baby blues and chiseled jawline quickly turned him into an online sensation, and despite the fact that he was in custody, rumors flew about him earning a modeling contract with Blaze Models. So where is Mr. Meeks now? Will his mug be shot by fashion photographers any time soon?

Reports MTV: In a word, no. This is the last new photo we’ll probably see of him for awhile.
On July 8th Meeks showed up to court, wearing the above orange jumpsuit (despite the motion filed by his attorney seeking to let him “wear civilian clothing that is fitting for his body structure”), and got some bad news: His “felon in possession of a firearm” charge would be turned over to federal prosecutors.
He was moved temporarily to the Sacramento County Jail, where he will be held until he carries out the sentence handed to him by the feds.

While being in custody may lower his chances of obtaining business opportunities, Meeks has enlisted the services of self-proclaimed “D-List” manager Gina Rodriguez, a former porn star who also reps clients such as Michael Lohan, and whose past roster included the likes of Octomom, Tan Mom and Tila Tequila. As Vice puts it, “Gina’s job, basically, is to help people extend their 15 minutes of fame by any means necessary.”

So, what does his future look like?
Lauren Horwood, a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s Office, tells us that on November 6th Meeks pled guilty to one count of illegal firearm possession. He will remain in Sacramento until he’s sentenced on January 22, 2015.

No modeling NO TIME SOON…WOMP!
