#RHOA The Reading School Is In Session from The Jamaica Trip!
This week on The Real Housewives of Atlanta we are back in Jamaica for the cast trip/filming of Cynthia’s eyewear commercial. There has been major drama so far because Nene showed up and surprised the women, which really set Kenya off. Cynthia downplayed the status of her and Kenya’s friendship to Nene, and chose Kim Fields to direct her commercial over Kenya. It’s ultimately Nene who brought Kenya back with Cynthia, and when she does Kenya lets all of the women in on some gossip about Kim’s husband; that there are rumors he is gay. Of course Kim finds out that Kenya’s talking about her husband and the fallout from this is where tonight’s episode picks up.

Sheree lets Kim know what the ladies were saying about Chris, and Kenya cops to what she said. The other ladies act like they weren’t involved at all, but Sheree does admit that her, Porsha, and Phaedra Googled Chris the night before. Bravo airs the flashback and the first thing that comes up is “Kim Fields’ fruity baby daddy,” and the second is about Chris and Kim’s tax problems. Kim says she never heard those rumors about Chris before, and that they’ve been together for 10 years. Things remained calm, despite Kenya throwing out a dig about her financial issues.

Nene and Phaedra take Kim to breakfast, and in her interview Nene states she is feeling really bad about the “joking around” that took place nights before about Kim’s husband. Nene and Phaedra want to teach Kim how to stand up for herself against Kenya. They tell her she needs to confront her head on, and then they do HILARIOUS impressions that are spot on and Nene points how that Kim is very passive and Kenya “preys” on that.

We see Kandi and Todd for the first time in a while and she is glowing! They are bringing Mama Joyce and Kandi’s Aunts to a restaurant tasting in hopes to get Aunt Bertha (Kandi’s final family member) to commit to the restaurant. The food looked amazing and in the end all are on board; just another venture for Kandi, is there anything she can’t do!

Back in Jamaica Kim calls Chris and lets him know what happened the night before, and his reaction was much more calm than expected. He takes the high road and says if he goggled everyone else what he would find would be much worse. Good point Chris.

Peter was really in his element on this trip and he planned an excursion to Dunn River Falls. It’s supposed to be a team building exercise, helping each other up beautiful, natural waterfalls. Kenya and her man Matt choose to make this a competition, running far ahead of the group and making a cocky comment when everyone else finished, together.
Next they head to a local spot for some authentic Jamaican food and Peter answers the question we’ve all been wondering; yes he and the men were smoking some “Bob Marley” on the trip. No idea about the women, that wasn’t show.
Nene breaks the ice for Kim; forcing Kim to talk to Kenya, and you could tell Kim is genuinely nice person who is uncomfortable with confrontation. When it’s Kenya’s turn to speak she starts with a snarky comment to Kim about finally speaking up, and Cynthia interjects at this right away. Cynthia also tells Kenya she should apologize for putting her hands on Kim’s chair. Kenya ultimately tells Kim that she is indifferent about her; doesn’t like her, doesn’t hate her. She also elaborates that she doesn’t feel the need to work on the relationship anymore but she can be cordial. Kim brings to light that Kenya crossed the boundary of respect and in the end they agree to respect each other. Kim thinks all will be good moving forward; I think she’s dreaming, this is housewives world, but we will have to wait and see.

Cynthia, Nene, and Sheree get dessert and Cynthia turns to the ladies for advice on how to approach her problems with Kenya. They tell her she needs to tell Kenya how hurt she is for Kenya’s behavior in Jamaica, especially at the commercial. Cynthia agrees that’s the right move.

We are at the final night of what has been a very entertaining trip and Peter has kept it classy all the way. There is a beautiful cocktail hour on the beach followed by dinner which Kenya and Matt are late for.

At dinner Sheree reveals that after the trip she is considering getting back with Bob, and they are really cute together. He says he needed time to work on himself so he can be better for her and hopefully she will spill on the status of their relationship at the reunion.

The guys call out Matt for saying he loved Kenya the night before, a move he copped to and told her to her face. Kenya seemed to love the attention but didn’t say it back. Cynthia and Kenya start talking about their problems and Kenya deflects the cause of the problems to when Nene arrived. Nene says she’ll always be around and that she has nothing to do with Kenya and Cynthia’s problems. It’s unclear if Nene meant she’d always be around with Cynthia, or with The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Kenya and Cynthia both admit to being hurt and Kenya apologizes for not supporting Cynthia with the commercial. Peter takes things a bit to far and makes Kenya repeat herself, and it is very awkward this all goes down with the whole group watching.

This was a very eventful trip and next week it’s back to the A-T-L; Cheers to Jamaica!



#LUCIOUSLYON: Terrence Howard Forgives Robert Downey Jr.
Back in 2013 actor Terrence Howard famously accused his Iron Man co-star, Robert Downey Jr., of muscling him out of the successful Iron Man franchise costing Terrence millions of dollars.
Apparently time really does heal all wounds...

Over the weekend Terrence posted a picture of himself and RDJ at producer Brian Grazer's weekend wedding with the caption, "Nice to see my old friend again #lifestooshort #allgood."
Good For them!

'Murder Rap' Investigator Claims Biggie Smalls Mother Knows Diddy Played Some Part In Her Son's Murder
More speculation is thrown at P Diddy for the murders of Tupac and Biggie Smalls.
Retired LAPD detective Greg Kading from Hip Hip documentary 'Murder Rap', has claimed that Voletta Wallace knows P Diddy and Suge Knight "had some responsibility" in the murders of the two rappers.
The series, which was brought to attention earlier this month , named the supposed murders of Tupac and Biggie.
In an interview on the 'Murder Master Music Show', Kading claims that he “sat down with [Voletta] and explained to her what we had discovered in the police investigation."

LISTEN TO THE FULL INTERVIEW below:


"We sat there and it was a very emotional encounter, because she was, I think, understanding clearly what had happened.
"I think she was starting to see that other people were responsible than who she had previously believed based on the Russell Poole nonsense.”
Poole was the original investigator in both cases before Greg Kading took over and ruled Poole's investigation invalid.

Kading's own theory is P Diddy hired Crips gang member Duane Keith "Keffe D" Davis to kill Shakur and Suge Knight for $1 million.
He now believes Keffe D's nephew, Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson, shot Tupac in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996.
In retaliation, according to Kade, Suge hired Bloods gang member Wardell "Poochie" Fouse to kill The Notorious B.I.G.

Biggie Smalls was shot to death in Los Angles March 9, 1997.

ALL THINGS BEYONCE'!
Minister Louis Farrakhan’s Fruit of Islam Offers protection for  Beyonce On Tour!
Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan is offering up protection for Beyonce during her upcoming FORMATION World Tour amidst reports that some police unions will be going out of their way to NOT protect her at her stadium performances.
Sounds like the minister is changing up his tune after scolding Bey over the way she dresses a few months ago. Remember when he publicly criticized Jay Z telling him he needed to keep Mrs. Carter “covered up?” Hmph.
Minister Farrakhan delivered the keynote address at the Nation of Islam’s Saviours' Day Convention in Detroit where he addressed the “Formation” singer’s unapologetic Super Bowl Performance and the supposed boycott from police that followed.

He started off saying, "And my sweet sister Beyonce. Boy! Did she fix them?! People are terrified. Beyonce? She started talking that black stuff! And white folks are like ‘we don’t know how to deal with that.’’
He continues, "When one of us shows independence: Look at how you treating Beyonce now. You go picket? You're not going to offer her police protection, but the F.O.I. (Fruit of Islam) will."

They don't want that!
He then praises Grammy Award winning rapper Kendrick Lamar for setting a new standard in the rap game and then yelled out, “The cultural revolution is on!”

Why is it that any time someone is PRO-black that automatically equates ANTI-white in some folks minds? Learn the difference folks.  And please understand that calling attention to the wrong doings of any organization does not equate being anti said organization.  It's always so interesting when certain members of organizations choose to be outraged about folks commenting about their wrongdoings, as opposed to being outraged about the wrongdoing itself.

By the way, 8 out of the 9 cops killed in the U.S. in 2016...were killed by white men.  But they don't want you to know that
Black protesters with their hands in the air, minute by minute National news coverage, of thugs and criminals. White ARMED people overtaking Federal Property..."Activist" "Protesters" mentioned occasionally as the police routinely requested they leave.....

Beyoncé Is Reportedly Dropping Her New Album in April
Beyoncé’s ‘Formation World Tour’ kicks off in April — but could that be the same month when her long-awaited new album drops also?
According to HitsDailyDouble, the answer is “YES.” Beyoncé is close to making a new worldwide, multi-album deal with Sony Music, and the final release under the current deal is now set for April.
 The site also notes that the Beyoncé / Jay Z joint album is still happening this year too.


I’m sure the BeyHive is jumping for JOY!



Jay Z’s Alleged Love Child Goes Federal with Fraud, Corruption Allegations in Paternity Case
Jay z and Rymir Satterthwaite*A legal battle involving Jay Z and his alleged love child, Rymir Satterthwaite, has entered a new phase as Satterthwaite takes the case to federal court.

At the heart of Sattterthwaite’s demand for federal action are claims from his attorneys that the case has been damaged with fraud, corruption, and collusion, according to RadarOnline. The Family Civil Liberties Union (FCLU), a supporter of Satterthwaite’s case, alleges that opposing attorneys have colluded with employees of the local court system in conspiring to withhold essential documents from the petitioner’s counsel.

As a result, Satterthwaite has filed a Notice of Federal Younger Doctrine in the Superior Court of New Jersey, asserting that local dereliction of duty has resulted in a violation of his constitutional rights. In addition, Satterthwaite has asked for an FBI investigation into “corruption such as but not limited to mail fraud, consumer fraud, RICO” on the part of the New Jersey Camden County Trial Court Family Part.
Satterthwaite’s elevation of the case is the latest development to occur in his camp’s fight to get recognition of the 22-year-old’s paternity.

“This is about making sure that Jay Z is held responsible for the emotional damage that he has caused Rymir,” Satterthwaite’s former guardian, Lillie Collie told Radar. “Rymir not only looks identical to Jay Z, but he really, really looks a lot like Jay Z’s mother, who is Rymir’s grandmother. Unfortunately, for Rymir, he has an entire family that he will never be able to know.”

Despite claims from the family that the case is “not about the money at all,” the lengthy delays in the case come as a major obstacle in family’s pursuit of justice for Satterthwaite.

“The family has not gotten paid one cent since this story came out,” Collie revealed to Radar. “It is costing us a lot of money to proceed.”



House of Cards: Frank Underwood heads to the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery
President Frank Underwood has finally joined the ranks of fellow American commanders-in-chief. In his own way. 'House of Cards': Frank and Claire square off in exclusive season 4 poster
The Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery unveiled a painting of House of Cards‘ fictional POTUS on Monday night in Washington, D.C. (See it above; click to enlarge.)

To celebrate British artist Jonathan Yeo’s work, Kevin Spacey appeared in character with Yeo, portrait gallery director Kim Sajet, Netflix COO Ted Sarandos, and a real member of the White House press corps.

“I’m pleased that the Smithsonian continues to prove itself as a worthwhile institution,” Underwood said in a statement. “I’m one step closer to convincing the rest of the country that I am the President.”
The true Spacey also chimed in a statement: “Actually, I’m really delighted to be included in a work of art at such a remarkable institution. When the Smithsonian’s Portrait Gallery first approached Jonathan and me about a portrait of me — the actor — I wanted to see if Jonathan could unveil a fully rendered presidential portrait. It is a real honor to be exhibited at the Smithsonian and a thrill to see Frank take his place among the presidents in this historic setting.”

Yeo previously painted Spacey as Richard III; that portrait was displayed in London’s National Portrait Gallery, which hung from September 2013 through January 2014. Underwood will be on display in Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery from Wednesday through October.
Those in attendance also got to catch the season 4 premiere of House of Cards; for everyone else, the next installment of Netflix’s Emmy-winning series begins streaming March 4.

T.I. Signs Distribution Deal With Roc Nation, Becomes Latest Co-Owner of Tidal
After leaving the major-label system following the release of his ninth studio album Paperwork in October 2014 via Columbia, T.I. has finally found a new home under Jay Z's wing. Ahead of his pop-up performance at Greenbriar Mall in his hometown of Atlanta on Monday night (Feb. 22), Tip announced he has signed a distribution deal with Roc Nation for his upcoming album, Dime Trap, and joins the growing list of artists who are co-owners of Tidal.

Signs pointed to T.I.'s Tidal deal last week, when he announced that Monday's pop-up show would be live-streamed on the service as part of the company's Tidal X concert series. At the same time, he released his new single from the album, Money Talk, exclusively on the service. As the latest artist co-owner, Tip joins the likes of Kanye West, Beyoncé, J. Cole, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, Usher and more who have stakes in the service and appeared onstage at its launch event last March; Lil Wayne came onboard last June.


More significantly, Dime Trap will be T.I.'s first album released without a major label, though Roc Nation is itself distributed through Universal Music Group. After poor sales of his 2001 debut I'm Serious, T.I. was dropped from Arista Records and signed to Atlantic, where he released 2003's Trap Muzik and his next six albums culminating with 2012's Trouble Man: Heavy Is the Head before leaving for Columbia. He's spoken about returning to the Trap Muzik sound on his forthcoming LP, due out this year on his Grand Hustle Records label.



Florida Pastor And Wife Accused Of Luring Girls For Sex
A pastor and his wife are being accused of using their organization as a front to lure teen girls into sexual abuse.
In 1999, pastor James Jackson and his wife, Valerie founded P.H.A.T. Positive Habitat Aspiring Teens in Palm Beach, Florida. The nonprofit organization was said to have a goal which would enable teens to express themselves and transition into adulthood.

But along the way, if that was ever a sincere goal, something went terribly wrong.
According to reports by CBS 12 in Palm Beach, a 15-year-old girl went to authorities claiming years of sexual abuse by the Jacksons.
The girl told police her abuse started at age 11. Pastor James, 47, would show her films that had sexual content. At some point, the pastor exposed himself to her, and while teaching her how to use a condom, had her perform oral sex on him for the first time.

This was apparently not the first time pastor Jackson practiced pedophilia. The girl’s older sister claims to have gone through a similar form of sexual abuse. The now 22-year-old said that starting at age 17 James made her take baths with him and the two of them had sex daily.
All with the knowledge and encouragement of pastor James’ wife, Valerie; who allegedly taught the girls how to keep her husband aroused.
The Jackson’s organization had gained recognition and prominence, so their community, and no doubt, congregation, is shocked by the allegations. 
James now faces charges that include sexual battery of a minor, causing a person under 18 to have contact with bodily fluid, possessing photos of a sexual performance of a child, and selling obscene material of a minor.

His wife Valerie, 46, faces charges of a lewd act of molestation on a minor and child neglect without causing harm.

YOU KNEW IT WAS COMING; Norwood Young HOSTING An Estate Sale BEFORE The Bank Forecloses- Allegedly!
Norwood Young, the eccentric brother of "BBW: LA" star Tanya Young Williams is having an estate sale to signal the end of an era.....but the "streets" are saying it really signals the end of his dying- Sugar Daddy footing his bills. Get the deets on Norwood's alleged foreclosure inside.....
Norwood Young, the Hollywood type who you see at all the parties, yet you don't quite understand why he's there, is selling his iconic Hancock Park, California mansion for $2.1 million dollars.
The home, also known as the House of Davids for its 19-replicas of "David" that line the driveway, features a pool (with Norwood's face painted at the bottom), a sauna and a steam room, tons of chandeliers, a home theater with a bar, and six bedrooms and six baths.
About the Davids, he says,

'"That statue represents myself and things that I've had to defeat in my life. So it wasn't like I was just this wacky guy who wanted 20 penises on his lawn. That's not the way I roll. ... Unfortunately, the neighbors and other people never took the time to wonder if there was a reason."

But people DID take the time to wonder how a "singer" who has never had any notable dealings in the music industry can drive a Rolls Royce Phantom and floss around town like a music mogul.
And the answer depends on who you ask.
According to Norwood, he is hosting an "estate" sale to end an era and start his life over, but the word on the street is that he's been blackmailing a much older white man since the 1980s because of their sexual past.
According to a source claiming intimate knowledge of Norwood's affairs, Norwood's "sugar daddy" has put millions into an endowment fund for Norwood since the 80s, with hopes that he would never expose their past.
And it seems to have worked out nicely over the years, except now the man is on his death bed and Norwood has been cut off. 

So......EVERYTHING MUST GO!

Allegedly, the home is in foreclosure but Norwood is trying to sell it.
SMH......I guess he won't be able to afford any more "work" to his face either.

Mary J. Blige’s Regal ‘My Life II’ Album Cover….
But a battle will ensue as Rihanna’s new CD will be released the same day!
Mary J. Blige appears queenly regal on the HQ cover for her hotly anticipated ‘My Life II’ LP. Apt as the Queen of Hip-Hop/Soul is set to do battle with the Queen of the Singles Chart – Rihanna come the album’s release on November 21st.
Indeed, ‘Life’ goes head-to-head with the nasal sensation’s latest effort ‘Talk That Talk’ – a move many industry analysts believe will deny RiRi the ever-elusive #1 debut for the 6th consecutive time.

Still, in being the fair and unbias site we are, it’s important to point out the relative success of Talk’s lead single ‘We Found Love’ – success which has, thus far, escaped all of Blige’s releases this go round. What’s more, the 23 year old’s effort is inevitably set to be backed by a mammoth marketing push; one which Blige – at this point in her career – can’t command.
Still, with the masses often needing to be force-fed Fenty’s material before buying into it, and Mary J. being able to scan at least 300,000 first week with ease, it’s Ms.J’s battle to lose...Here The Tracklisting

Cop's Book Says Sean Combs, Suge Knight Ordered Tupac and Biggie Killings
Tupac ShakurChristopher Wallace, aka Notorious B.I.G. or Biggie Smalls
Top detective on rap murders says LAPD pulled the plug despite confessions
Former LAPD officer Greg Kading
A barrel-chested black man with a front tooth missing, relaxed yet instinctively cautious, is seated across from four spellbound cops in a glass-walled conference room at 8200 Wilshire Blvd.
This is not the first time a gangster has done business at this Beverly Hills office building. It once served as the bullet-riddled headquarters of the now-defunct Death Row Records, run by Bloods with a strict policy of never talking to cops. But for Duane "Keffe D" Keith Davis, a shot caller for the Southside Crips, it now happens to be his lawyer's office. And on this surreal morning on Dec. 18, 2008, Keffe D is going to snitch.

Keffe D tells the cops he was offered $1 million to kill Death Row rapper Tupac Shakur and Suge Knight, the label's former CEO. The informant tells his interrogators in plain language, albeit at a cool street clip, that Sean Combs — then known as Puff Daddy, the ringmaster of Bad Boy Entertainment, Death Row Records' bitter cross-country rival — commissioned Shakur's legendary murder in Vegas in September 1996. (Knight would survive that night's shooting with a bullet wound to the head.)
Rap mogul Sean CombsDeath Row Records founder Suge Knight
Six months later, Bad Boy Entertainment rap star Christopher Wallace, best known as Biggie Smalls or Notorious B.I.G., was shot to death in L.A. In the decade and a half since the two most famous homicides in hip-hop history, police have made no arrests.

Now, in the pages of his potentially game-changing self-published book Murder Rap, set for release Oct. 4, former Los Angeles Police Department Detective Greg Kading reveals that LAPD has been sitting on extensive tapes and documents containing confessions from key players behind the alleged assassinations of Shakur and Smalls (Wallace). LAPD higher-ups pulled Kading off the double investigation right when he was poised to drive it home, he says. Then they shut it down completely. An LAPD spokesman insists in an email that the case is still "active/ongoing" but that no further information is available. If true, this means the LAPD has only in the past couple of months revived the probe.
Perhaps luckily for the rappers' families and fans still seeking closure, Kading made copies of nearly every investigative report and taped confession before he left LAPD. His explosive book details the behind-the-scenes failure by LAPD to bring Shakur's and Smalls' killers to justice.

In a taped confession fully reviewed by L.A. Weekly, Keffe D says, "[Combs] took me downstairs and he's like, 'Man, I want to get rid of them dudes.' ... I was like, 'We'll wipe their ass out, quick. It's nothing.' ... We wanted a million." In another stunning confession, detailed in LAPD documents reviewed by the Weekly, the mother of one of Knight's children, identified in Kading's book as "Theresa Swann," breaks down in tears, stating that the former Death Row boss gave her the money to pay Wardell "Poochie" Fouse — Knight's close associate and a fellow member of the Mob Piru Bloods — to kill Smalls.
Keffe D is up against a wall at tvhe time he fingers Combs for Shakur's murder. The federal and local agents gathered around him at the conference table, including Kading, have spent the last year cornering him as the kingpin of a nationwide PCP ring, and Keffe D is looking at 25 years to life if he doesn't reveal his secrets.
Sean Combs told the Weekly via email: "This story is pure fiction and completely ridiculous." Suge Knight could not be reached.

In his confession, Keffe D takes the officers on a trip back to the night Shakur died. Keffe D places himself in the passenger seat of the old white Cadillac that famously pulled up, full of Crips, on the right side of the BMW carrying Shakur and Knight toward a club just off the Vegas Strip.
Sitting in the backseat of the Cadillac, according to Keffe D, was his own nephew, Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson, who got his ass kicked in the MGM Grand lobby earlier in the evening by Shakur's posse over a piece of Death Row bling that Baby Lane supposedly had stolen.

Keffe D tells Kading on tape that his nephew "leaned over, and Orlando [Baby Lane] rolled down the window and popped him [Shakur]." Later, he adds, "If they would've drove on my side [of the car] I would've popped him."
Keffe D gave the FBI a different story in 1997, denying his nephew was involved. In his December 2008 confession, however, the tape indicates Keffe D will only be held immune from his admissions if none of his statements, including on Shakur's murder, are shown to be false.

Kading tells him on tape: "Everything in this report has to be right on, because if down the road it's determined that some of these details are incorrect, then everything's off the table." Keffe D responds, "Don't bullshit me, and I won't bullshit y'all."

Keffe D's and Theresa Swann's confessions were stunning but in no way sudden. They were the fruit of an intensive investigation by a special task force of LAPD officers plus agents from the Drug Enforcement Agency and Federal Bureau of Investigation that had begun years earlier, in May 2006.
The team's official mission was solving Biggie Smalls' murder, while Shakur's murder case was under the jurisdiction of Las Vegas police. Smalls, a 400-pound Brooklyn native, was slain in a March 1997 drive-by shooting while rolling out of a star-studded party at the Petersen Automotive Museum in L.A.'s Miracle Mile.
At the time the multi-agency task force was formed by the LAPD, Smalls' mother, Voletta Wallace, was suing the City of Los Angeles for potentially hundreds of millions of dollars because she believed dirty cops had been involved in her son's murder.
"There was a real possibility that the suit would end up being among the most expensive the department had ever had to pay out," Kading writes in Murder Rap. "So it came as no surprise that the brass wasted no time in putting together a task force to finally solve the 9-year-old case, find the killer, and hopefully exonerate the police in the process."

But investigators on the special task force determined early on that the two cases were as inseparable as the street-gang rivalries that ran through them.
Sure enough, just five months after Keffe D alleged he'd watched his nephew, "Baby Lane" Anderson, kill Shakur on orders from Sean Combs, Kading's investigative team hit a second home run when one of Suge Knight's baby mommas fingered Knight as having handed her the money to pay for Smalls' murder.
Kading describes the woman as a well-kept beauty in her early 40s with a slim figure and trademark hoop earrings — although the stress of being one of Knight's ladies-in-waiting, through the rise and fall of his L.A. rap empire, had begun to take its toll, physically.

She's named "Theresa Swann" in Murder Rap for her own protection. L.A. Weekly has verified her identity as Knight's longtime lover and business associate but has chosen not to reveal her name. Kading planned to notify her last weekend that Murder Rap was going to print. He says federal agents are prepared to relocate her if necessary, to assure her safety in the wake of its publication.
Her confession is summarized in an official LAPD report reviewed by L.A. Weekly:
"During one or more of [Swann's prison visits], Knight instructed [Swann] to help him coordinate the murder of Christopher Wallace. Knight directed [Swann] to contact 'Poochie' and advise him that Knight wanted Wallace murdered in exchange for an unspecified amount of money."
The team of feds and LAPD officers believed they were on the brink of solving one of the most haunting cold cases in popular history.
Both Baby Lane and Poochie — implicated as the triggermen by the team's sources for the murders of Shakur and Smalls — had been shot dead years ago, casualties of Crips-versus-Bloods battles set off by the celebrities' slayings. However, the rap moguls accused of hiring them were still very much alive.
Kading was certain that by tracking down a couple more Crips allegedly involved in Shakur's murder, and by wiretapping phone conversations between Knight and his lover Swann, the LAPD finally would have enough evidence to solve hip-hop's greatest murder mysteries.

But what Kading says happened next — a series of shocking moves within the LAPD's upper ranks — would lead him to question whether his superiors wanted the rappers' murderers brought to justice.
In July 2009, under former LAPD Chief William Bratton, lead detective Kading was abruptly pulled from the task force. Without his years of nuanced insight into the vast array of characters involved, he says, the investigation began to peter out as he watched helplessly.
Nearly a year later, in April 2010, when Voletta Wallace withdrew her lawsuit against the City of Los Angeles, what remained of the task force was quickly dismantled by Robbery-Homicide Capt. Kevin McClure with the blessing of brand-new LAPD Chief Charlie Beck.

Within weeks, despite 22 devoted years on the force, in a move the fiercely independent Detective Harry Bosch might pull in a Michael Connelly novel, Kading turned in his LAPD badge and walked out the door.
Though Kading is well aware of the litigation to which he's exposing himself by implicating Combs and Knight — the wealthy Combs threatened to sue the Los Angeles Times over much less — Kading believes that "the story's bigger than the LAPD," and that if he doesn't share his findings with the public, "nobody's ever going to know what really happened."

Top NFL star's girlfriend 'raped in London hotel room after drunken night out'
Accused: Andrae Edwards, 22, arrives at Blackfriairs Crown Court where he is accused of raping an American exchange student whose boyfriend plays for the NFL. She said she discovered what had happened after becoming pregnant
The girlfriend of a top NFL star claimed she was raped in a London hotel room after she was plied with champagne and passed out, a court heard.
The 21-year-old did not even know the attack had happened until she found out she was pregnant with attacker Andrae Edward's baby, it is alleged.
The court heard a 21-year-old woman was raped in her room at the Royal National Hotel in Russell Square after being plied with champagneBlackfriars Crown Court heard that when arrested, he was discovered to have taken pictures and video images of her lying passed out on the bed naked,
Police found bank worker Andrae, 22, had taken pictures of her naked as she slept, the court was told - the student went on to have an abortion.
The girl, whose boyfriend plays for an NFL team, said she woke up naked in her hotel room after a drunken night at a nightclub with Edwards and her three friends.
She said she could not remember what had happened and texted Andrae Edwards, to check nothing sexual had gone on between them as she felt sore and could smell his cologne on her.
He told her it hadn't but a month and a half later she realised she was pregnant and DNA testing revealed it was Edwards' baby.
Blackfriars Crown Court heard that when arrested, he was discovered to have taken pictures and video images of her lying passed out on the bed naked, showing she is asleep and not capable of consenting to sex that night.
The American exchange student from New York, and her friends were plied with six bottles of pink Moet & Chandon champagne at The Penthouse club in Piccadilly Circus on September 4, the court heard
Royal Bank of Scotland customer adviser Edwards is facing one charge of rape.
He claims that they had consensual sex and that the girl initiated it despite having a steady boyfriend in America.
It was said that Edwards, who was with two male friends, spent hundreds of pounds plying the victim and her three friends with eight bottles of pink Moet & Chandon champagne at The Penthouse club in Piccadilly Circus on September 4 2010.
The court heard the 21-year-old woman was raped in her room at the Royal National Hotel in Russell Square London but only found out what had happened after she become pregnant
The two groups had met in a McDonald's in Leicester Square three days before and exchanged numbers.
Giving evidence via videolink from the U.S. one of the girl's friends, who was not drinking as she is Muslim, said she saw Edwards, 22, trying to kiss the victim and touch her breast and bottom when they were in the club but that her friend had tried to push him away.

At around 3.30am the group, including two of Edward's male friends got a cab back to the Royal National Hotel in Russell Square, where the girls were staying.
Once inside the room two of the boys took the victim's friends back to their room while Edwards stayed with her.
Prosecutor Alexia Power said the girl, now 22, was 'floppy and all over the place, her speech was slurred and she could hardly stand.'
Her sober friend undressed and put pyjamas on her and put her to bed while Edwards was out of the room before checking on the other girls and going to bed herself.
But jurors heard the next thing the victim remembered was waking up naked the next morning.
Miss Powers told jurors: 'She was 21 years old and had a steady boyfriend in America who was an American football player.
'The victim has no memory of what happened between herself and Mr Edwards in her hotel room in the early hours of that morning.
'She was drunk, incapable of consenting to any sexual activity and effectively in a drunken sleep.
'However one thing that is clear is that Mr Edwards had sex with her that night as she was to discover a month later that she was pregnant.
'She had a termination and DNA testing on the foetus proved that Mr Edwards would have been the father.

'It is the prosecution's case that Mr Edwards took advantage of being left alone with her in that state by undressing her, having sexual intercourse with her without a condom and in addition taking photographs and short video clips on his phone on the bed with her legs apart.
'These images were retrieved by police and you will be able to judge from the footage if she looks asleep, or as Mr Edwards was later to claim, an active participant in sex.'
The court heard the girl, who studied in New York and was only supposed to be in the country for four months of an exchange programme, remained in contact with Edwards after the alleged attack as she thought nothing had happened.
But when she realised she was pregnant she reported him to police and he was arrested on October 27 2010.
Edwards, of Islington, north London, told the police she was not really drunk but had been tipsy like him and that she had initiated sex and claimed he would have stopped if she'd have told him no. 

In a police interview, which was read out in court, he said he had brought champagne because 'I like to look after people I'm with.'
'I don't really go out much because of work commitments, but when I do, I like to go out in style.'
Edwards said he was dancing with the girl and kissing her on the dancefloor, and then the group left for the hotel where the girls were staying.
He said he and the woman were walking down the street with their arms around each other.

Once in her room, 'she started kissing me and I kissed her back', he claimed.
He continued: 'Then both of us were happy, had sex. She started pulling off my top, she was undressing me.
'We changed positions, she went on top. I ejaculated. She let me out the room. I assumed she went to sleep.'
They met up again after that, but then he got an angry call from one of her friends, he claimed.

He said the woman herself then texted him to say she was pregnant.
He said: 'Then she texts me, she's pregnant,
'She's gone to the clinic and it's gonna cost £500 for an abortion. I need to pay for an abortion.
'I said: "How do I know I'm the only person you've had sex with. I'm not paying for anything."
'Then she started calling me, two or three times after that.
'I just didn't pick up the phone. I didn't hear any more after that, so I just thought: "Oh well, that's it."'
Edwards denies rape. The trial continues.

From Sister to Sister

Tracy: On the show, we’ve seen that you do have friends outside of the “Basketball Wives: LA” cast. What do they think of you on the show and how you’re being treated?

Draya: First of all, my fans, the audience that I have, is like a crazy-wild, energetic bunch. I have the most die-hard friends. They are ready to fight. My friends are really upset about the things they have been saying. They know my personality and they know I let a lot of stuff slide and they’re like ‘why would you do that?’

Tracy: You used to date Chris Brown. What do you think of all the drama that’s been surrounding him from naked pictures to his alleged tirade on “Good Morning America”?

Draya: He knows what he’s doing and he is a very intelligent man. He bounces back from any mistake that he does. He has the ability to do that. Every move he makes is strategically planned out. He knows when to make the right decision and when not to. I give him a lot of respect. I look up to him, and he’s really smart.

Well whaddya think??

And the “GROUPIES” Tell it. That Kanye has he “GOLDEN” Tongue
According to this groupie she told Balleralert.com the following:
I met Kanye West at a private event given by another celebrity. I can’t give much detail for fear that he will know its me so I’ll just skip the details and get to the fucking. First of all his dick is beautiful. The pictures that were leaked do him absolutely NO JUSTICE. Kanye has a real nice cock for a man his size. We we’re pretty fucked up by the time we got down to it so there was a lot of awkward fumbling. Once we were undressed he pushed me down on the sofa and stuck his dick in my face. He’s very aggressive and he knows what he wants. He didn’t have to say anything. I complied. I started to suck his dick slowly and he told me to “speed that shit up”. He likes his dick sucked hard and fast. Some extra saliva started to run down my chin and he told me to “keep it neat”. He gets this crazy look in his eyes when he gets turned on. Its erotic and maniacal.After a few minutes of head he grabbed his dick and started to jack it. He pushed me back on the couch and kneeled down on the floor to eat my pussy. This caught me by surprise because he didn’t strike me as someone who would eat the pussy of a perfect stranger.

KANYE HAS A GOLDEN TONGUE. I would rate him in the top 3 of the best head I have ever received. I still masturbate to the memories of that session. He is an oral pro and knows exactly what to do. He didn’t hesitate at all. He wrapped his lips around my clit and sucked and licked until I was just about to come. When he saw that I was about to climax he just stopped. He sat back and stared at my pussy like he was waiting for it to speak or something. He looked at me with that crazy look and said “I love pretty pussy”.He put on a condom and bent me over the couch. He beat my pussy damn near to death. He has such a solid stroke. Every move was very methodical and well-rehearsed. There wasn’t much sensuality; in fact it was like fucking a robot. That didn’t take away from how good it felt though. He just kept beating the same spot for a while and I was cumming all over him. Not sure how long we were up there but it wasn’t long. I would have loved to keep going but we had to get back to the party before people started to question out whereabouts. When he came he kind of growled like an animal it was hot. We didn’t say much. He smacked my ass and laughed, then got dressed. He went back out first and I waited a few minutes. Overall I give Y an A-. He is very disassociated which made things a little awkward at times but still amazing pipe.

Would I do it again? Anytime…..I bet you would gurl!

Johnny Depp November 2011 Vanity Fair
Johnny Depp covers the November issue of Vanity Fair magazine, which hits newsstands nationally on Wednesday, October 12.
Here’s a few highlights from his interview with the mag:

On being Hollywood’s best paid actor: “Basically, if they’re going to pay me the stupid money right now, I’m going to take it,” he says in Vanity Fair’s November issue. “I have to. I mean, it’s not for me. Do you know what I mean? At this point, it’s for my kids. It’s ridiculous, yeah, yeah. But ultimately is it for me? No. No. It’s for the kids.”

On how much he hates photo shoots: “You just feel like you’re being raped somehow. Raped. The whole thing. It feels like a kind of weird—just weird, man…. Whenever you have a photo shoot or something like that, it’s like—you just feel dumb. It’s just so stupid.”

He has since apologized for the rape remarks!

Viola, Octavia and Emma HIT IT OUT FOR “THE HELP” Premiere in London!
Here come the girls: Stone was joined at the premiere by co-stars Viola Davis (left) and Octavia Spencer (right)
Girl power: Davis (left) wore a sleek purple gown with plunging neckline, while Spencer went for a pretty blue and purple floral number...above
In her latest film The Help, Emma Stone's character Skeeter is known for her frizzy hair and lack of fashion knowledge.
But the actress certainly didn't need any help when it came to getting ready for the movie's London premiere
The redheaded actress, 22, showed off her pins in a sexy slit polka-dot dress as she joined her co-stars Octavia Spencer and Viola Davis at a pre-screening party at the Washington Hotel before the premiere at the Curzon Mayfair.
The film - adapted from Kathryn Stockett's 2009 novel of the same name - stars Stone as a young university graduate struggling to establish herself as a writer in her hometown of Jackson, Mississippi, in the 1960s.
It's a bit windy: Stone struggled to keep her composure as a gust of wind disturbs her dress
Devastated by the mysterious disappearance of her African American maid Constance, Skeeter soon finds herself growing increasingly uncomfortable by her white friends' treatment of their 'help'.
She forms a friendship with her friends' maids Aibileen (Davis) and Minny (Spencer) which will change their lives forever.
Speaking at last night's premiere at the Curzon Mayfair, Stone admitted she was attracted to the role of Skeeter because it was so much meatier than other roles in Hollywood for actresses of her age.
video:
Girl power: Davis (left) wore a sleek purple gown with plunging neckline, while Spencer went for a pretty blue and purple floral numberGirl power: Davis (left) wore a sleek purple gown with plunging neckline, while Spencer went for a pretty blue and purple floral number
She said: 'I like any role that feels human and alive and not just the girl or the comedic relief or something boxed in and stereotyped.
'It was really great that I not just wanted to be part of the movie, but got to be a part of it.'

Stone admitted Skeeter's famously uncontrollable curls - which causes her mother much ire - was just a wig.
She explained: 'I put it on in the morning and I took it off at the end of the night.
'My hair is stick, stick straight and I look like a drowned rat in humidity, so I was actually really appreciative of those curls.'
Out of control: Stone in her curly wig as Skeeter with Alison Janney as her mother Charlotte Phelan in a scene from The Help
The Help is released in the UK on October 28

Ashton BUSTED!! For real! And here are the PICS to prove it!
Don't look now, Demi: Ashton Kutcher is pictured on the cover of America's Star magazine with a group of blondes in a hotel suite on his sixth wedding anniversary
Pictures have emerged of Ashton Kutcher partying with a group of blonde women on his sixth wedding anniversary.
In photographs sure to devastate his wife Demi Moore, 48, the 33-year-old actor is seen mingling with the San Diego party girls in his penthouse hotel suite on the night he is accused of having a fling with student Sara Leal.
The women were invited back to the Two And A Half Men star's room at the Hard Rock Hotel around 3am after being introduced to the actor by promoters at Fluxx nightclub earlier in the evening.
In pictures obtained by America's Star magazine, and affiliated website Radar Online, a relaxed Kutcher is seen sitting on a sideboard wearing a hat while surrounded by at least three women.
Party girl: Sara Leal (left) with friends in Las Vegas earlier this year before the alleged night with Kutcher
The publication claims that after the party, which saw party-goers strip off for a swim in the hot-tub, Kutcher took 23-year-old Leal back to his bedroom.

She is alleged to have later sent a text message to her friends, saying: 'I [bleeped] Ashton Kutcher Friday night, lol.'
Today more pictures emerged of Leal from a wild Las Vegas trip earlier this year.
Star also claims to have details from inside Ashton's party. The magazine reports guests told to leave their phones at the door.
Described as 'like a scene from the hangover', music was blaring and the room was said to be littered with glass and bottles of alcohol.
'When I walked in, there was a sea of busty blondes,' Kimberly Perry, who claims she attended the party, tells the magazine.
Provocative: Sara does not seem shy in front of the cameras, happily stripping off to expose herselfProvocative: Sara does not seem shy in front of the cameras, happily stripping off to expose herself
'And everyone was drinking, even though they were pretty tipsy already.'
Ashton is said to have been drinking a magnum of champagne and at one point was walking around naked.
Megan McNutt, who also claims to have attended the party, added: 'If there's a hot tub involved, there's going to be some kind of action. It was pretty wild.'

During the night, she claims Ashton appeared intoxicated and was talking with his eyes closed, but she adds the actor and Sara 'definitely had sex.'The night began on September 23 and carried on into the early ours of the following day, which was Kutcher and Moore's sixth wedding anniversary.

If Kutcher and Moore's marriage does end in divorce, the couple could be battling it out in a bitter $290 million split.
Penthouse party: Ashton allegedly invited women back to his room at the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego
Demi has three daughters Rumer, 23, Scout, 20, and Tallulah, 17, from her marriage to Bruce Willis, which ended in 2000 after 13 years.
She has long hoped to have a child with Ashton, saying last year it would 'be another incredible part of our journey together.'

Jay-Z to Re-Release Decoded Book
Great news for all the Jay-Z fans of the world as the rapper has revealed he will be re-releasing his New York Times Bestseller ‘Decoded’ with new features. The dad-to-be says this re-release will in stores November 1 as a paperback edition with an all black cover.
In addition to the book now being in paperback he also said there will be another chapter added so if you have the first book you might wanna get you the second one as well. That Jay-Z know how to make him some more money!!! There will be 7 additional illustrations added as well as three new songs. Check out an excerpt below:
What still excites me about rap is that it’s an open thread, a cipher that listeners find their own meanings in. The point of this book is not to settle arguments or transform rap songs into neat stories with a beginning, middle, and end. Rather, I’m trying to point readers to some ideas and information, get them to see deeper into the music than they saw before and learn more about worlds different from their own (or find new ways of looking at the worlds they already know)—to find their own meanings and connect them back to their own lives. I want readers to see the craft and learn the context—and I want them to still be able to feel the magic, and enjoy the show.
Are you going to be picking up the re-released paperback edition of ‘Decoded’ on Novemeber 1st?

Beyonce Pops Up At The University of Houston To Support Honoree Mama Tina
Beyonce, her mother Tina Knowles, and cousin Angie all traveled back to their hometown of Houston, TX for a great cause. Mama Tina was being honored by the University of Houston Friends of Women’s Studies Living Archives program (who honors local women) for all her fab accomplishments.
It's no secret Beyonce and her mom are extremely close. So Bey looked like the uber proud daughter, in her multicolored bump gracing shift dress, as her mother received accolades from the MD Anderson Library for her accomplishments as a mother and businesswoman.
Houston Chronicle reporter Joy Sewing (above), wearing a Miss Tina for Walmart purple wrap dress and Prada shoes, was on hand to interview Miss Tina on stage during the event. Sewing stated:
Miss Tina (as she prefers to be called) was a gracious interview and made my job easy. She talked about her life growing up in Galveston and her business as a hairstylist and then a costume designer and stylist for Destiny’s Child. She spoke of her love for her late mother Agnez Dereon and her dedication to her two daughters (Beyonce and Solange). Miss Tina even teared up a bit. Beyonce, who sat near other family members, was just as kind. Every time I glanced at B (that’s what they call her), she smiled at me. In the back room, mannequins displayed some of Beyonce’s most recognizable red-carpet gowns, which Miss Tina designed. Beyonce’s five Grammy awards from 2003 were also on display.
Sweet!
And why is Beyonce making this face?
Maybe because literally hundreds of students showed up outside the library doors within 5 minutes of finding out she was inside. And they screamed and chanted her name throughout the event. Sewing reported:


Then the students came. Hundreds of them (who likely got word that B was on campus via Twitter) piled into UH’s M.D. Anderson Library and began chanting, “Beyonce! Beyonce!” It even interrupted the interview for a few minutes. Beyonce, who is pregnant with her first child, was a bit bothered by the chaos since it was her mother’s big day. But afterwards the singer, wearing 5-inch heels, made a quick stop in the lobby to wave to the students: “Wow, this is crazy how fast that happens,” she said to me. “Just one tweet.”
Wow. Miss Tina's family was there to support as well:

Congrats Mama Tina!

AND FINALLY FROM “THE CRAZY PEOPLE SHOPPING AT WALMART” FILES
“We’re Gonna Shake Your Tambourine”
Hmmm, turns out she doesn’t wait until after midnight to let it all hang out. Good to know.

HAVE A GREAT DAY!
