Empire Being Sued For $500 Million
Terrence Howard has a host of real-life problems but his place of business has attracted yet another lawsuit.
The premise isn’t as elaborate or sensational as one of the hit show Empire’s subplots. It’s just another guy claiming Empire stole his life story/idea.
Reports TMZ:
Imagine “Empire” with Shaft in the lead role … that was the vision one guy had, but it never got made … and now he believes the creators of the show owe him $500 million for stealing his idea.
A guy named Jon Astor-White is suing EPs Danny Strong and Lee Daniels — as well as Imagine Entertainment and 21st Century Fox — claiming he shopped around a show called “King Solomon” back in 2007 … which bears a lot of similarities to “Empire.”
Astor-White claims his show would have starred Richard Roundtree (Shaft said no thanks) and was about a record executive and his family and their battle over control of the company.
Astor-White said he faxed the treatment around, and included a proposed cast list which was aspirational, to say the least. In addition to Roundtree, Astor-White wanted Diahann Carroll, Alicia Keys, Kanye West, John Goodman, George Hamilton and Angie Dickinson.
Astor-White describes his show as “the style and elegance of ‘Dynasty’ meets ‘The Sopranos’ with a sprinkling of ‘The Godfather.'” That’s a similar comparison Marvin Gaye III made in his claim.
The show has also been sued by a guy with Jackson family connections and by a woman who claims she is the real Cookie.
Astor-White is seeking the half a billion dollars … plus additional damages.
The struggle will likely continue down the line. Empire’s second season starts on September 23.

Congrats! Tracy Morgan Fully Recovered and Finally Wed!
What a difference a year makes! 14 months after fighting for his life, Tracy Morgan finally got his fairytale ending with his longtime love, Megan Wollover.
Tracy and Megan were married on Sunday night in an intimate ceremony surrounded by family and friends.
Tracy’s new bride opened up to People magazine about how happy she was to finally be Mrs. Morgan. “After almost losing Tracy last year, I am so grateful to finally be married to the love of my life. We have been through so much and our love is stronger for it.”
Stronger indeed. After surviving a horrific crash last summer, Morgan spent the last year recovering and was determined to walk his wife down the aisle with no assistance. “I don’t want to walk my wife down the aisle with a cane or in a wheelchair,” Tracy told People. “So I had to go hard with the therapy … I had to get better. There was no ifs, ands or buts about it.”
Congrats to the happy couple. We’ll also get to see Morgan walk onto the SNL stage again when he returns to host one of the first shows next season!

There have been rumors about the two hookin' up for months -- ever since Drake was spotted cheering for Serena at Wimbledon -- but now the pics confirm it ... it's game on.

Malaysia Pargo Covers ‘KONTROL’ Magazine’s ‘Pure Glamour’ Issue, Shuts Down Rumors That She’s Dating Mally Mall
Basketball Wives L.A. star, Malaysia Pargo, rocks a one of a kind metal corset by Fiori Couture and a hand beaded Adolfo Sanchez gown, on the cover of KONTROL magazine’s latest issue.
The luxury bedding designer and reality star opened up about relationships, motherhood, and how she plans to expand the “Malaysia” empire, during her chat with the magazine.
Catch a couple excerpts below..
On her bedding line:
My bedding line is pretty much modeled after fashion. What I did was take a piece of everything in my fashion life. One of my favorite pieces is called the Chin Chilly. It is faux chinchilla, and is mimicking a chinchilla coat. It has leather piping and is unisex. Everything is top quality, at a affordable rate where everyone can have a piece of fashion on their bed.
On how she describes her style:
Shabby, because on some days when you see me I look like a hobo, I have my Uggs on and no makeup, fresh face and a ponytail. When I clean up though, I clean up. Very chic with clean lines, not too much, simple. My go to designer for the red carpet would be Alexander McQueen. The Queen collection is so easy for me to work with. He does a lot of color and contouring. It clings to my body.
You can grab a copy of the “Pure Glamour” as it hits newsstands near you on Sept. 4th.
Additionally.. as rumors circulate that Malaysia is dating Mally Mall — after the producer gifted her with a ruby during the unveiling of her KONTROL cover at the House of Macau. A rep for the reality star confirms to HipHollywood that the rumors are false:
“I’m happily and absolutely 100% single,” read Malaysia’s statement. “I was blessed to have many of my good friends come out last night and celebrate my birthday and cover of Kontrol magazine. I have a great group of friends that support me. First and foremost I’m focused on being a mom, myself and my growing business ventures.”
Ummmmm, Dee Barnes & Michel’le IS NOT HERE for Dr. Dre’s Apology
Dr. Dre recently revisited his heinous past as a woman beater; the best way you’d expect a man of his stature and profile to respond.
Through a statement funneled through The New York Times, the 50-year-old Hip-Hop legend “apologized” specifically to “the women” he had hurt, albeit not by name. The documented stories of the victims: journalist Dee Barnes; a former friend of the N.W.A leading up to Ice Cube’s departure from the group and ex-girlfriend and labelmate Michel’le, have since risen to the top of the news pile since the hit movie, Straight Outta Compton, erased them from coverage in an apparent bout of convenient amnesia.
Barnes, who has maintained she was “blackballed” from the industry since settling with Dre out of court in the early 90s, recently penned her second column with Gawker regarding the incident where she addresses his most recent apology.
“I have been routinely accused of ‘living in the past’ and of not letting this go, but it was Dr. Dre himself who was living in the past and couldn’t let it go so he created a permanent reminder of the ‘Dee Barnes incident,’ Barnes writes in reference to her name being mentioned in Eminem’s 1999 single, ‘Guilty Conscience,’ the first digital age allusion to the incident. “And Eminem is not the only one; there are numerous songs that mention the incident, enough that essentially turned me into a, uh, punchline. Of the women assaulted by Dre, I was the only one to press criminal charges against him. I’m also the only one whose name later came up in one of his songs. ‘Guilty Conscience’ and the other songs containing the reference are products of clear and obvious misogyny on a cultural level and for what? Jokes?”
While Barnes is sincere that she hopes Dre’s apology is as genuine as her forgiveness, she still plans on clearing the air in her developing memoir, Music, Myth, and Misogyny: Memoirs of a Female MC. Michel’le, on the other hand, wasn’t as accommodating with her response. In fact, she feels it was some sort of marketing ploy to get theaters packed and headphones sold.
“I didn’t ask for a public apology, and I think if he is going to apologize, he should do it individually,” she tells BBC Radio 5. “To just group us like we are nothing and nobody — I just don’t think it’s sincere. Treat us like we have names. He’s selling a movie. I just think it’s good PR at the moment.”
Which, opens up the floor to any solutions to the current situation that could be rooted in absolute. Does Dre need to become the face of domestic violence, where as he, a married man for going on 19 years, hasn’t shied away from such behavior. Even his latest release–the 16-year-album-drought-breaker Compton–doesn’t celebrate the misogyny and women swapping ethos that helped amass his fortune.
It’s a question only all parties involved in a private setting can sum up an answer.
Her RETURN is NOW! JoJo Releases Trio of Singles (Listen)
Following her 2006 sophomore album, The High Road, and three mixtapes, JoJo is coming out the gate hard!
After much anticipation and teasing, the singer-songwriter releases not one, not two, but count ‘em: THREE singles to jumpstart the mega-promo for her upcoming album -- enter “Say Love,” “When Love Hurts,” and “Save Our Souls,” a trio of tunes from the 24-year old singer showing her growth and still-stellar vocals.
“Say Love” is a Harmony Samuels-produced anthem encouraging the love to flow, while “When Love Hurts” is formatted perfectly for mainstream radio (expect a video for that coming soon). “Save My Soul” is an emotional plea from heartbreak with a catchy “oh na na na na na na, yeah” that has mass appeal.
The newly-signed Atlantic Records artist joined the label in 2014 after a tense departure from Blackground Records.
