The Daily Buzz For Dec 20


THE EPIC SHADE OF MARIAH CAREY!
Mariah Carey is known to say what’s on her mind and she did just that Sunday on “Watch What Happens Live.”
The Elusive Chanteuse singer strolled into the clubhouse to chop it up with Andy Cohen about an array of topics and, of course, her new reality show “Mariah’s World.” Being her usual over the top glamorous self, MiMi worked a deep v-neck jumpsuit, sky high booties and was dripping in diamonds for her late night appearance.
MiMi’s diva meter was on 1,000! During a game of “Plead The Fifth,” the 46-year-old songstress had to set another Pop diva straight. Apparently, singer
Demi Lovato took issue with Mariah’s shade towards Jennifer Lopez. The infamous “I don’t know her” line set Demi off, so she blasted her on social media. Andy asked her about it and MiMi set Demi straight once and for all.

“I don’t know her either and so I wouldn’t say anything to her. She should come up, introduce herself to me, say ‘Here’s my opinion, what do you think about it?’ That’s how you handle sh*t, OK?”
During the game, she was also asked about her new boy toy Bryan Tanaka. Are they really a couple? Was he a factor in her breakup with James Packer? MiMi wouldn’t say. She basically kept saying everyone needed to tune in to her reality show to find out the real deal.
During a game of “Does She Know Her?!,” Andy went down a list of famous pop singers to see if Mariah knew any of them. When it came to Ariana Grande being compared to be a mini Mariah, well let’s just say MiMi “does not know her” either. Ha!
“I don’t know. Honestly, I’m not familiar. I listen to Hip Hop more than I listen to pop music.”
Then, she talked about her breakup with her ex-billionaire fiancé James Packer. A fan called in to ask if she took out scenes with James in “Mariah’s World.” She answered, “Yeah, I don’t want to put anybody in a position where they have to look at somebody they don’t want to see or its hurtful. It’s so fresh and it kind of just happened.”
But, Mariah isn’t taking the breakup too bad. When asked if their uncoupling stung her she responded, “No, I think that everything that’s meant to be it’s meant to be. I believe if it were supposed to happen, it would happen.”

She also showed love to Beyonce, saying “We’re friends. I think she’s one of the most talented women out there. I love her.”

Awwwwwwww!

#EMPIRE Will Jamal Lyon become a drug addicted entertainer in Season 3 (second half)?
“Empire” wrapped up the first half of Season 3 last week and no surprise here — viewers were left with a ton of cliffhangers, including the safety of many Lyon family members. Today we’re ficusing on Jamal Lyon (Jussie Smollet)

Will we see scenes of Jamal in rehab?
Yes, we will. And we’re going to go through the journey of an artist who is addicted to pain medication, and we’ll see if he’s able to overcome those demons and get through it. That is going to be very much part of Jamal’s story.

Cookie is the one who told Jamal he’s going to rehab, so how will that impact their relationship? Will Jamal resent his mother?

She did it in the smartest way by including the entire family. This was very much Lucious and Cookie coming together as parents, in order for him to go to rehab. Obviously, Lucious and Cookie are in cahoots, and I think Jamal is able to look at it as a family intervention versus just Cookie. Sure, he’s going to feel betrayed, but I think he will understand that it’s the best for him.

Why did Cookie give Jamal the pills that she threw down the sink?

It’s a few things. First, going through withdrawal is extremely painful and dangerous and something that you just have to go and get somewhere to get clean — that couldn’t happen right then and there since she can’t call 911 because it would be all over the tabloids, and she doesn’t want to see her son suffer. It’s very painful withdrawal, so I think that’s part of it. Secondly, he has to compete the show or else his career would have been over, had he not performed, and she knew that. So she figured, might as well give it to him — she didn’t want to see her son in pain, and she didn’t want to see his career ruined — and smartly enough, right after, she gets his ass to rehab.


Trey Songz Brings Out Chris Brown At Real 92.3’s “Real Big Holiday” Concert
Trey Songz gave us a taste of his real family life with the video for his new holiday song, “Comin Home,” but on Friday night (Dec. 16) the R&B heartthrob surprised the Real 92.3 LA audience with one of his musical brothers.
While Trigga also brought back his signature braids on stage at the “REAL BIG Holiday” concert at the Microsoft Theater, he had the crowd in a frenzy when he brought out Chris Brown for a surprise set.
Breezy stepped out from backstage and hit the crowd with “Kriss Kross,” “Back to Sleep,” and his brand brand new single “Party.”

It’s been a while since we’ve seen Trey perform and he had the audience singing along to his every word, as he performed tracks like “Say Aah,” “2 Reasons,” “Foreign,” and “Bottoms Up.” Songz has been hitting the gym heavy, so of course the shirt came off and the ladies went into a frenzy, as he slowed it down with “Dive In” and “Can’t Be Friends.”

Check out the footage HERE

Nice!


J. Cole’s ‘4 Your Eyez Only’ Debuts At No. 1
J. Cole earns his fourth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 with 4 Your Eyez Only. And yes, he did it without any features.
The North Carolina rapper’s latest album sold 492,000 equivalent album units (363,000 traditional) in its first week. This marks the third-biggest weekly sales sum for an album this year, behind Drake’s Views (1.04 million units, 852,000 traditional) and Beyoncé’s LEMONADE (653,000 units, 485,000 traditional). This was a more modest figure than the projected 550,000 sum.

As far as streaming is concerned, Eyez has the second-biggest streaming debut ever for an album with 118,000 streaming equivalent album units. That amounts to 51.7 million streams of 4 Your Eyez Only tracks. Drake’s Views is the only album to top this with 163,000 SEA units in its opening week, equating to 245.1 million streams of songs from the album.
With Eyez, J. Cole has had all four of his LPs reach the No. 1 spot, something only DMX and Drake have done before him. The 6 God has done this six times, while X had his first five albums reach the pinnacle position on the Billboard 200.
But it’s not just his fourth No. 1. It’s also his biggest opening week to date. In fact, all of J. Cole’s albums have had bigger first week sales than the previous LP. 2011’s Cole World: The Sideline Story sold 217,000 copies; 2013’s Born Sinner sold 297,000; 2014’s 2014 Forest Hills Drive sold 354,000. 4 Your Eyez Only bests all of that with 363,000.

Elsewhere on the chart, The Weeknd’s Starboy falls 2-3 with 109,000 units, Bruno Mars’ 24K Magic jumps 6-4 with 74,000 units, and Post Malone’s Stoney debuts at No. 6 with 58,000.

Hamilton also had a big week. The Broadway play’s musical album returned to the top 10 (11-7) with 48,000 units. However, The Hamilton Mixtape falls 1-14 in its second week with 36,000 units.

BILLBOARD 200 TOP 10
1. J. Cole – 4 Your Eyez Only – 363,000
2. Pentatonix – A Pentatonix Christmas – 156,000
3. The Weeknd – Starboy – 109,000
4. Bruno Mars – 24K Magic – 74,000
5. Pentatonix – That’s Christmas to Me – 65,000
6. Post Malone – Stoney – 58,000
7. Broadway Cast – Hamilton – 48,000
8. Various Artists – Moana Soundtrack – 48,000
9. Michael Bublé – Christmas – 43,000
10. The Rolling Stones – Blue & Lonesome – 43,000

Congrats, again J Cole!


Camila Cabello Leaves Fifth Harmony but there’s more shade from Lauren Jauregui?
And then there were four. Fifth Harmony has announced that Camila Cabello has officially left the platinum-selling girl group.
The remaining members—Ally Brooke, Normani Kordei, Dinah Jane, and Lauren Jauregui—shared the news with their fans on social media on Sunday (Dec. 18). “After four and a half years of being together, we have been informed via her representatives that Camila has decided to leave Fifth Harmony,” they said in a joint statement. “We wish her well.”

Despite the major change, 5H will go on. “We are excited to announce that we will be moving forward with the four of us,” they added. “We are four strong, committed women who will continue with Fifth Harmony as well as our solo endeavors. We are excited for our future, and we can’t wait for what the new year brings.”
Just this month, the girls told Z100 that they were planning a third album together. “2017’s gonna be poppin’,” said Normani. “The third album is definitely gonna be so lit,” added Dinah.

5H’s debut album Reflection and their sophomore LP 7/27 peaked at No. 5 and No. 4 respectively on the Billboard 200.
So far, Cabello has not issued a statement on her Fifth Harmony departure, but the 19-year-old is coming off two major solo features. Her Shawn Mendes duet “I Know What You Did Last Summer” reached No. 20 on the Hot 100 last year, while her Machine Gun Kelly collab “Bad Things” is a top 10 hit and has been certified gold.
Just before the departure announcement was made on Sunday, Fifth Harmony performed together for the last time as a quintet at Y100’s Jingle Ball at the BB&T Center in Sunrise, Fla. Following their performance, Camila joined MGK on stage for “Bad Things.”
Well there is more fuckery going on…

A leaked audio of Lauren from Fifth Harmony complains about the treatment and not getting properly paid.

In the clip you can hear Lauren saying, “They making decisions on a regular basis to fuck us over.  To make us literal slaves like literally slaves. Ally were doing fucking labor everyday and we see nothing.


Jamie Foxx Jets Off to Cabo with Katie Holmes
Hollywood's most secretive couple slips off for a beach day in Cabo San Lucas... 

According to Us Weekly
"Katie and Jamie took a private jet to Cabo on Friday morning from Van Nuys Airport [in Los Angeles]," the insider tells Us. "It was a quick trip in honor of Katie's birthday. It was only them and two pilots on the plane."
Upon their arrival, the notoriously quiet pair, who started dating in 2013, took a limousine to the luxe Las Ventanas al Paraíso, a Rosewood Resort. "They stayed in one of the most private suites at the hotel, separate from other guests and entered by a small path," the source explains. "They wanted to be very discreet and had everything delivered to their room and taken care of by a personal butler."
Holmes, 38, and Foxx, 49, left Cabo on Saturday night and headed home to Los Angeles. "Suri was not with them," the insider adds.


SERIOUSLY? Good Times and The Jefferson Return to TV.
DYNAMITE!!!
Hold up ‘All In The Family, ‘The Jeffersons’  and “Good Times” is in the early stages of getting a reboot.

That’s according to Variety,
…The idea currently being discussed by Lear and Sony executives would be to have new actors recreate classic episodes of the shows, working from the original scripts, and package them as short, six-episode anthologies. The scripts would be treated similar to plays being mounted in new productions.


The Rock celebrates his daughter’s birthday with an adorable song
Just when I start to lose all faith in humanity and think everything is dark and awful, I see something like this and my heart just melts. Dwayne Johnson, or The Rock, as some of you may know him better, showed off the singing chops that he recently showcased in the Disney film Moana to serenade his daughter, Jasmine, on her first birthday. The adorable little girl, whose Mom is Dwayne’s girlfriend Lauren Hashian, clapped along as her pop sang “Happy Birthday.” The Rock shared the sweet moment on Instagram on Friday. 
Because I had to know and felt like I should share, “aiga” is Samoan for “family” and “Pua Mana” means “majestic flower” – so says Google. Is that the cutest, or what?


Beyonce poses as a Reindeer!
Beyonce gets into the Christmas spirit in a new Instagram montage.
Dressed in a sexy plunging bodycon dress, the “Formation” singer shared flicks of her gorgeous purple and silver Christmas tree along with several other Christmas trees scattered throughout her home, one decorated with lemons, of course.
A rendition of “Sleigh Ride” plays in the background in the clip that also featured pics of Bey striking several poses with glittery reindeer ears.


White House: Berlin Truck-Crash Carnage Appears To Be “Terrorist Attack”; 9 Dead, 50-Plus Injured
In this screen grab taken from video, emergency services attend the scene, after an attack by a truck at a Christmas market, in Berlin, Monday, Dec. 19, 2016. German media are reporting a truck has run into a crowded Christmas market in the center of Berlin, causing multiple injuries. Both the Berliner Zeitung newspaper and the Berliner Morgenpost reported the truck ran into the market outside the landmark Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church on Monday evening. (AP)
The White House said today that a tractor-trailer speeding into a crowd at a Christmas market in Berlin “appears to have been a terrorist attack.” At least nine people were killed and more than 50 injured, and U.S. cable news networks rushed to cover the story during a busy news day.

A Berlin police spokesman said a suspect who matched the description of the truck driver was arrested a couple of hundreds yards from the scene, but they remain unsure about his involvement. The spokesman added that another person was found dead in the passenger seat in the 18-wheeler but did not offer specifics. Witnesses said the truck, which was registered in Poland and loaded with metal beams, was going about 40 mph when it slammed into the crowd.
The incident happened just before 8 PM local time outside of the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, one of the most popular tourist sites in the German capital. It was similar to the July truck attack that killed 86 people and injured hundreds after at a Bastille Day fireworks display in the French Riviera city of Nice, just east of Cannes.

“The United States condemns in the strongest terms what appears to have been a terrorist attack on a Christmas Market in Berlin, Germany, which has killed and wounded dozens,” a National Security Council spokesman said this afternoon. “We send our thoughts and prayers to the families and loved ones of those killed, just as we wish a speedy recovery to all of those wounded.  We also extend our heartfelt condolences to the people and Government of Germany.  We have been in touch with German officials, and we stand ready to provide assistance as they recover from and investigate this horrific incident. Germany is one of our closest partners and strongest allies, and we stand together with Berlin in the fight against all those who target our way of life and threaten our societies.”
Fearing a terrorist attack, the European nation has been on a heightened state of alert for the past couple of years. There have been numerous raids across Germany in recent months, and just two days ago police arrested a 12-year-old boy who had explosives and allegedly was planning to target a Christmas market. Local authorities said the boy twice failed to denote explosives in the southern city of Ludwigshafen.

The Daily Buzz For Feb 25



Salt-N-Pepa Cover Adweek After Geico Commercial’s Success
Salt-N-Pepa caught a nice check when their 1987 hit “Push It” got repurposed for a Geico commercial. Thanks to the spot’s success, the groundbreaking female rap group graces the latest cover of Adweek magazine.
Cheryl “Salt” James and Sandra “Pepa” Denton discussed what they thought of being brand new to a whole generation of people that missed their 90s heyday.

Says Adweek:
What did you think when you heard about the Geico concept? 
James: We got it right away. We thought it was hilarious. I read [the script] to my 15-year-old son and he said, “Oh my god, that’s brilliant. Do it!”

What’s been the public response? 
Denton: We like to say that song is possessed because it’ll never go away. It has a life of its own. We’re fortunate and blessed that we made timeless music, and we knew we had our fan base. But since the commercial, we now have teenagers and all these young people coming up to us.

James: They think it’s a new song. Their moms have to tell them it’s 25 years old! It’s also reminded people of our personalities, how many hits we had, and our record sales … have gone up. It’s helped to open up more opportunities than we can even pursue.

Where’s Spinderella, though.


Rihanna SINGS "Towards The Sun" From The Movie "HOME" 
Rihanna debuted her new song “Towards the Sun”, taken from the soundtrack to DreamWorks Animation’s HOME. A few weeks ago, we told you about the animated film where RiRi voices an “ordinary girl” named Tip opposite “Big Bang Theory” star Jim Parsons. The film hits theaters on March 27. 

In the meantime, check out Rihanna as she looks "Towards The Sun" above.


Zendaya READS Giuliana Rancic FOR BLOOD for mocking her ‘oil & weed’ dreadlocks
Zendaya Coleman’s Vivienne Westwood dressshe wore Sunday at the Oscars was age appropriate and cute. She also sported some fresh dreadlocks, which were part of her red carpet look. The dreadlocks are gorgeous, and Zendaya wears them well.

On Monday’s edition of Fashion Police, Giuliana Rancic mocked the dreads. This Vine video 

shows Rancic saying, “I feel like she …. she smells like petroleum, or weed. Maybe weed.” Zendaya penned a response:

[From Zendaya on Twitter]

Zendaya’s response is perfect. She has a good head on her shoulders and dealt similarly in the past with the Aaliayah biopic scandal. Here, Z calmly and rationally called out Rancic for a ridiculous generalization. For what it’s worth, Rancic has “apologized” if anyone was offended.
Eh. The damage is done. Rancic didn’t think before speaking. She wasn’t talking about some “bohemian chic” stuff. She drew the connection between dreadlocks, Bob Marley, and marijuana and applied it to anyone with dreadlocks. There’s some hypocrisy too — people aren’t buying Rancic’s apology. 
They’re calling out Rancic on Twitter, especially because Kylie Jenner’s recent dreadlocks (and Lady Gaga’s) were treated much differently on E!



'American Sniper' killer found GUILTY in murders!
Eddie Ray Routh, the former Marine and Iraq War vet struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder, was found guilty of capital murder Tuesday night in the shooting deaths of American Sniper Chris Kyle and his friend Chad Littlefield.

Routh stared straight ahead at the judge's bench as Judge Jason Cashon read the verdict. The jury of 10 women and two men took just over two hours to convict Routh, 27, in the murder of Kyle, 38, and Littlefield, 35, at an upscale shooting range near Fort Worth on Feb. 2, 2013.
Immediately after the verdict was read, Cashon condemned Routh to life in prison in the Texas criminal justice system without possibility for parole. Routh could appeal the verdict.
"The deep well of excuse-making for this defendant has to come to an end," Erath County District Attorney Alan Nash said in closing arguments Tuesday. "In cold blood, he gunned these two men down."
The verdict brings to a close a dramatic nine-day trial that included emotional testimony from Kyle's wife, Taya Kyle, and Judy Littlefield, Chad's mother, as well as graphic photos from the crime scene, revealing testimony from Routh's confession to police and details into his mental troubles after leaving the military.

After the verdict and sentencing, Jerry Richardson, Littlefield's stepbrother, read a statement directed at Routh.
"Because of you and your irresponsible choices, we lost a great son, brother, father, husband and uncle," Richardson said in a voice quivering with emotion. "Your inhumanity and disregard for life have put you in a world [from which] you'll never escape."
A judge did not permit testimony at the murder trial of Eddie Ray Routh to be broadcast until the jury reached a verdict. Jim Douglas has the highlights we could not share with you until now. Jim Douglas / WFAA

Routh confessed to shooting Kyle and Littlefield shortly after being arrested the day of the incident. Jurors only had to decide if he "intentionally and willingly" killed the pair and whether he knew what he did was wrong.
The trial received widespread attention as the Oscar-nominated American Sniper, the Clint Eastwood-directed film about Kyle's service in Iraq as a celebrated Navy SEAL sniper based on his best-selling book, has grossed more than $400 million in ticket sales and filled theaters across the USA.
The question still looming: Why, exactly, did Routh turn guns on Kyle and Littlefield, who were trying to help him through his PTSD anxiety? The answer to that question remains elusive.
Text messages between Kyle and Littlefield as they drove Routh to the shooting range at Rough Creek Lodge and Resort near Fort Worth, in which Kyle described their passenger as being "straight-up nuts."
A phone call from Taya Kyle to her husband while the three were on the shooting range, minutes before he was killed, where Chris Kyle was uncharacteristically curt on the phone.
Forensics testimony from law enforcement officials that revealed Kyle was shot six times in the side and back and Littlefield shot seven times in the side, back and head – each with a different caliber handgun.
Details from Routh's confession to police where the defendant said he thought "pigs were taking over the earth" and was upset that Littlefield wasn't participating at the shooting range.

Defense attorneys painted a stark picture of Routh's struggles with psychosis following his service with the Marines, which included an assignment cleaning up bodies in earthquake-scarred Haiti and a tour as a prison guard in Iraq. They showed how Routh was hospitalized in mental institutions four times in the seven months leading to the killings, including less than a week before the shootings.
At the hospitals, Routh was given anti-depressants, mood stabilizers, Ambien for sleep and anti-psychotic drugs to help ease his growing paranoia and delusions, his attorneys said.

But prosecutors argued that the defendant fled from police after the shootings and even ordered two Taco Bell burritos after the killings – signs that he knew what he did was wrong and was headed to jail.

"This defendant gunned down two men, shooting them in the back, in cold blood," Nash said.
Kyle had served four tours in the Iraq War as a member of Navy SEAL Team 3 and became one of the most proficient and deadliest snipers in U.S. military history, reportedly killing more than 160 enemy targets.
Upon returning home, he volunteered to help veterans struggling with combat-related anxiety. He was approached by Routh's mother, Jodi Routh, to help her son through his post-combat struggles.

Kyle had agreed to work with Routh just a week before the fateful trip to the range. The day of the shootings, Kyle and Littlefield picked up the troubled veteran at his parents' home in Lancaster, near Fort Worth, and set off on the nearly two-hour drive to the shooting range.



USPS to Honor Maya Angelou With a Forever Stamp
*The U.S. Postal Service announced Monday that beloved poet and novelist Maya Angelou will be honored with a Forever Stamp.

Man Arrested, Charged In Stabbing Death Of Nicki Minaj's Tour Manager
Charges have been filed in connection with the stabbing death of a member of rapper Nicki Minaj's touring group last week outside an East Mount Airy bar.

31-year-old Pierce Boykin, from the from 1300 block of East Sedgwick Avenue in Philadelphia, was arrested Monday and has been charged with Attempted Murder, Aggravated Assault, Terroristic Threats, Simple Assault, and related offenses in the alleged homicide of 29-year-old De'Von Pickett.

Police say a homicide charge may be added at a later date.Man in custody after stabbing death of Nicki Minaj's tour manager
De'Von Pickett of Brooklyn, New York, who was working as tour manager for Minaj, was in town for rehearsals for her upcoming European tour.
Pickett and 27-year-old Eric Parker of Philadelphia went with a group of friends last Tuesday night to Che Bar and Grill, located in the 6300 block of Stenton Avenue. 
When the bar closed, around 2:30 a.m., Pickett and Parker's group got into a fight with a group of local men on the sidewalk just down the street from the bar.
Police say the altercation was allegedly sparked by a dispute over a woman who worked in the bar.
"Both of the parties both knew a female who worked at the bar, and the arguments centered around her," explained Philadelphia Police Captain James Clark.
Clark says a verbal altercation quickly escalated into a physical confrontation. One of the men pulled out a knife and stabbed both Pickett and Parker multiple times. 

Pickett was killed, and Parker was critically injured. Last week police took a person of interest in for questioning, but later released the man. It is unclear if Boykin was that man.
It is also unclear if police plan to make other arrests.

Last week police said they were searching for two other unnamed persons-of-interest, saying they are known to police.


First Pic Of Lil Wayne and Lauren London’s Son Revealed! 
Five and a half years ago Lauren London gave birth to Lil Wayne’s son and named him Cameron Carter. To this day, there have been no pictures ever released of the little boy … that is until now.

Over the weekend Weezy posted the first image of Cameron with the caption, “Krazeee fase day #FWA”.

Awwww, isn’t he a cutie! We all know Wayne luv da kids (he has four of them) and post pics quite often, but London has been notoriously private when it comes to little Cam. She’s never posted a single photo of the Carter heir and may not have wanted this one released either. We’ll just have to wait and see if she lets the pic stay up or makes Weezy take it down.


Oops! Yahoo Mistakes Trey Songz For Chris Brown 
Yahoo made an epic mistake on Monday night and people are not letting the web portal live.

The website posted a story about Chris Brown and managed to use an unrecognizable photo of the pop star for their featured image. Welp, that’s because the image was not of him.
In a story about what Chris thinks about Rihanna’s new alleged relationship with Leonard DiCaprio, Yahoo accidentally posted a photo of Trey Songz instead of Breezy, which was obviously a major oversight
LOL!

George Zimmerman Avoids Civil Rights Charges In Trayvon Martin Shooting

George Zimmerman will avoid civil rights charges for gunning down Trayvon Martin three years ago. The U.S. State Department announced Tuesday (Feb. 23), that insufficient evidence led to the decision, meaning that  the investigation could not prove Zimmerman committed a “hate crime” by killing the unarmed Black teen.
“This young man’s premature death necessitates that we continue the dialog and be unafraid of confronting the issues and tensions his passing brought to the surface,” Attorney General Eric Holder said in a statement.
Although they thanked to DOJ for an “extensive investigation” (which included reviewing case evidence from the state of Florida and interviewing more than 50 witnesses) Martin’s family is “disappointed” in the conclusion.

“We remain poised to do everything in our power to help eradicate senseless violence in our communities, because we don’t want any other parent to experience the un-explainable loss we have endured,” the family said in a statement. “We will never, ever forget what happened to our son, Trayvon, and will honor his memory by working tirelessly to make the world a better place.”
Zimmerman shot Martin to death in February of 12, 2012, following what he says was both a verbal and physical confrontation. The teen was on his way back from the store at the time, when Zimmerman called 911 to report someone “suspicious” in the Florida neighborhood.
He was tried and acquitted of second-degree murder in 2013, and has had several run-ins with the law  since then.
The State Department made it clear that the lack of charges “does not condone the shooting that resulted in the death of Trayvon Martin and is based solely on the high legal standard applicable to these cases.”


Ne-Yo Slapped With Lien Over Georgia Mansion
According to theJasmineBRAND Ne-Yo (real name Shaffer Chimere Smith) is accused of refusing to pay thousands of dollars in taxes for his Georgia mansion and now the singer/producer has been slapped with a lien against his luxurious home.

The City of Atlanta filed a lien against Ne-Yo last month in Georgia court, accusing him of failing to pay a total of $11,721.38 for property taxes for his Atlanta home. The lien, which will continue to grow with interest until Ne-Yo pays off the debt, states that the lien will be placed against the property and if the singer sells off the home ALL unpaid tax debt he owes the city of Atlanta will be paid to them BEFORE he collects on any profits from the sale of the pad.
As is customary, Ne-Yo could face the home being sold off at foreclosure, if he doesn’t pay the property taxes. See the exclusive court docs


Bobby Shmurda’s Gun Charge Becomes Part Of Conspiracy Case
Gun Charge Becomes Part Of Conspiracy Case: Bobby Shmurda’s Brooklyn gun case was dismissed Tuesday — but that’s not necessarily good news for the rising star rapper. The weapon possession charges he was accused of became part of a more serious conspiracy indictment filed last December in Manhattan.They represent the most direct evidence against the 20-year-old hip hop phenom, who prosecutors described as the “driving force” behind a street crew called GS9 that was allegedly responsible for shootings and drug sales.He was arrested with a pal in June 2014 after cops saw him holding a pistol inside an East Flatbush apartment, and he then tried to stuff the 9-mm. Glock between cushions of a couch, court documents allege.That incident “is incorporated into the indictment (by the office of the Special Narcotics Prosecutor) so we’re moving to dismiss,” assistant district attorney Melissa Cardinale said in Brooklyn Supreme Court.The move is technical and meant to avoid double jeopardy. 

Just over a month after the Brooklyn bust, while out on a $10,000 bail, Epic Records signed Shmurda – real name Ackquille Pollard – to a seven-figure deal.His “Shmoney Dance” has become a viral sensation and his hit “Hot Boy” reached No. 6 on the Billboard chart and garnered close to 1 million downloads. But it all came crashing down with the conspiracy indictment, for which he’s facing up to 25 years to life in prison and was locked up on a $2 million bail.

Defense lawyer Kenneth Montgomery called the exuberant bail amount “absolutely ridiculous” and contested the allegation his client led any gang.“This is a glorified case and they have to follow their cheese,” he said of prosecutors. “This is what we’re fighting.”Shmurda, hands shackled behind his back and wearing a dark-gray sweat suit, looked behind him during the hearing as if to find relatives in the thin courtroom crowd. There were only a number of young strangers in the audience who nodded and smiled in recognition of the up-and-coming star.Montgomery said Shmurda is trying to keep his head high behind bars while still hoping to make bail.“I think he is resilient and I think he’s trying to survive,” the lawyer said.

Shonda Rhimes Blasts Lady Gaga’s Oscar Performance: ‘That Was Not Okay’
*Shonda Rhimes was not feeling Lady Gaga on Oscar night.
She didn’t think the pop star should’ve been chosen for the “Sound of Music” tribute on Sunday, when powerhouse vocalist Idina Menzel was in the building.
“That was not okay,” the 45-year-old tweeted Sunday. “I mean, Idina is there. She is right there. RIGHT THERE. And oh dear God, Julie (Andrews) had to hear that. #Oscars2015,” Rhimes tweeted.
Andrews — who announced the winner of the Oscar for best original score after Gaga’s performance — was overhead telling the singer: “Thank you for that. It really warmed my heart.”
To prepare for the Oscars stage, Gaga worked with a vocal coach for six months and practiced daily, the show’s executive producers Neil Meron and Craig Zadan told ET.
“She’s the real deal. She can do anything,” Meron added.

“She said that if she pulls it off, it’s going to change the focus of her career and she pulled it off,” he said. Well what are your thoughts?
