Cassie Gets Edgy For The "Illuminati Issue" Of IDOL Magazine

Posted: 27 Aug 2011 08:29 AM PDT

Oh Cassie.  You just love stirring up a bit of controversy don't you.  She's looking gorgeous on the new cover of "IDOL" magazine, a mag featuring models in the industry.  But it's the theme of the issue that's gonna raise eyebrows.

 

Check it inside....

Cassie's rocking the cover of a magazine called IDOL.  And, of course, it's the "Illuminati Issue."  It's the "New Model Order"....a play on words of the "New World Order."

We're not the ones running around calling everybody in Hollywood "Illuminati".  But tons of other folks are.  And Cassie just likely decided to play into the rumors.

By the way, she posted this cute b-day cake pic on her Tumblr account today saying:

Soooooo sorry to my fans… I’ve been M.I.A. on twitter for almost 2 weeks because I can’t access my account. Not to worry though lol… we’re working it out and I’ll be back up and running next week. I just have to say, the video compilation for my birthday was AMAAAAZING!!!! I love you guys so much and I’m making you a video blog tomorrow & guess what?? Shhh… I recorded the last song for my album yesterday. Very excited to share it with you.xxxx

Posted: 27 Aug 2011 06:24 AM PDT

 

In a new interview shot on the set of her "Anything" video, superstar R&B singer Monica talks about her new album New Life and the direction her music is taking. Get the deets inside....

 

While on the set of her Chris Robinson directed video for "Anything",  Monica opened up about the song saying she called in Missy Ellott and Lil' Kim because she wanted to pay homage to hip hop's beginnings while singing about relationships.  The song is a preview of the direction her latest disc heads in, which she says is full of ballads about love.

She also revealed that the title of the disc, New Life, is about the new place she's in with respect to her kids and her new husband, LA Laker Shannon Brown.

Bishop Eddie Long's ACCUSERS Announce NEW TELL-ALL BOOK + Eddie Long Responds That He Will "Move Forward"

Posted: 26 Aug 2011 03:51 PM PDT

So much for confidentiality agreements...some of the accusers in the Bishop Eddie Long sexual abuse scandal have been speaking out about the sexual manipulation at the hands of their former pastor. 

And the headline clips are causing such a stir that EVEN Bishop Long is "sorta" speaking out about the scandal.  Deets inside....

 

Hold onto the church pew in front of you because Jamal Parris and Spencer LeGrande (two of the plantiffs in last year's Eddie Long scandal) are speaking out about their experiences with Bishop Long AND they are writing a tell-all book about what they say happened! 

Although both Jamal and Spencer orginally agreed not to discuss what happened via their out of court settlement, both young men (in ther early 20s) spoke to CNN affiliate WSB about Bishop Long.

“It's just not enough anymore. I thought I could cover the pain up. I thought I could move, start over and everything will go away. I was terribly wrong," said Jamal.

Jamal told WSB that he grew up without a father and that Eddie Long seized on that vulnerability.

“To have a man love me for just who I was. I just had to be me, and love him back."

During the interview, Jamal pointed out a "JL” tattoo on his arm, which he said stands for “Jamal Long.” SMH.....speechless.

Does Bishop Long make all his "boys" get inked? And p.s., Jamal said Bishop Long was with him when he got inked!

Talking about the book Jamal said,

"You ain't ready for the secrets. I don't care if this book sells one copy. But if it's just for me, this is what my life looked like, this is my voice for the first time.”

Then Spencer said,

“Ten years of details, each person. It's gonna be a book full of 'wow's' and 'ahh's' and 'Oh my Gods.'"

But it gets better!  In response to Bishop Long telling his church that he would fight the allegations and that he was "David" in the David vs. Goliath parable, Spencer said, “If you read the Bible again, mister, we are David.”

Ouch.

So if you breach the confidentiality agreement can you keep the money?

“I feel like burning [the money]. I’m going to tell the world – money does not buy happiness,” he said. “When you sleep at night, the problems are still there. The money stuff, who cares about the number," Spencer said.

 

And in "response" to the latest round of headlines, Bishop Long had this to say:

 

New Birth Members,

We have a long history of dutifully serving those in need in the local and global communities and we will continue to do so. We are committed to the calling of a strong, viable and relevant ministry of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Unfortunately, we are in the media again and people are wondering what I am going to say. All I have to say is what we stated earlier. All parties involved decided to resolve the civil cases out of court. The decision was made to bring closure to this matter and allow us to move forward with the plans God has for this ministry.

I will continue to honor and abide by my commitment of confidentiality and restraint as it relates to the resolution of the civil litigation and will not be diverted from the important work of the ministry.

I thank God for your faithful support of my journey to South Africa where thousands where blessed and more than 700 people gave their lives to Christ. We also were able to sow more support into the HIV/AIDS Hospice in Johannesburg that we partnered with last year. We built a wonderful bridge of relationships with pastors and community leaders to further establish the Kingdom and bless others.

I love you and thank you for your continued commitment and dedication.

Your Pastor,

Bishop Eddie L. Long

 

Hmmm.....I'm waiting on the first sermon he preaches AFTER the book drops.  I'm sure you will be able to hear a pin drop.

FIGHT NIGHT: Chrissy VS. Kimbella! Punches Thrown During "Love & Hip Hop" Filming!

Posted: 26 Aug 2011 02:16 PM PDT

Aaaaaaand they're off!  The "ladies" of VH1's "Love & Hip Hop" are already off to the races....and by races we mean hard core fight nights while filming takes place.

 

We got a tip today from a show insider that details how Chrissy and newcomer (Julez' Santana's baby mama) Kimbella are already at each other's throats.  And why do we believe it? Because we ALSO heard from a VERY credible source similar details...involving Chrissy punching Kimbella out!  Deets inside....

So a couple months ago, around Memorial Day weekend, we got word from a pretty credible source that production was shut down the first few days of filming (it had just started after Memorial Day).  And apparently it was all because video vixen and rumored industry jump-off Kimbella caught a fist to the face....a fist that belonged to Chrissy!

Today, we got this tip detailing why they're beefing and what went down.  And, of course, it's all over Kimbella getting it in with Fabolous 3 years ago.  Yes, while Fab was with Emily B.  Shocker.  Here's the craziness we were sent:

I’m closely related to the show and currently working on the show and would like to remain anonymous, I was there that night filming when a fight broke out on the set of the VH1 show, Love & Hip-Hop.

That night of Emily’s party celebrating her new independence from her ex boyfriend rapper Fabolous, new cast member and Juelz Santana girlfriend Kim told Emily that she used to talk to Fabolous over 3 years ago. She explained that this was before she met Juelz and that Juelz knows everything as well.

Kim told her this in front of all of the girls because she didn’t want it to come out at a later time and was just starting friendships with some of the girls on the show. Emily said she kind of knew and was going to ask her about it, but Emily thanked her for telling her and said she’s moved on and is in a much positive space now and that she didn’t have a problem with her and was cool with it.

But, Chrissy (Jim Jones' girlfriend) intervened saying that it was going to get ugly now and Kim and even Emily questioned why would it. Chrissy kept mouthing off about Kim and when Kim didn’t back down and argued back, Chrissy didn’t like that.

Chrissy said “I’m going outside to get some air” and when she walked towards the door past Kim, she unexpectedly sucka punched Kim in the face out of nowhere.

Emily didn’t jump in and had absolutely nothing to do with the argument.

You will see when the show airs that the situation happened exactly like this. I was at this event and saw it all unfold.

Personally, I think Chrissy is responsible for passing around this story trying to deflect her own sketchy past. She has a history of being with rappers and ball players herself like Jay Z (who mentions her name in one of his songs on Reasonable Doubt), P Diddy, Max B. (one of Jim’s old associates), and basketball players Allen Iverson and Dominique Wilson to name a few. Everyone in NY, well at least Harlem knows her past as a notorious groupie. She was dead wrong for what she did and didn’t even try to have a fair fight.

Lawd Jesus.  I actually like the show last year for the simple reason these ladies, unlike other shows, actually never threw punches.  But I see that may be changing.  Oh wells.

FOOLYWANG MATERIAL: Katt Williams Caught FIGHTING At A Young Jeezy Concert (VIDEO)

Posted: 26 Aug 2011 10:17 AM PDT

Although Young Jeezy headlined a concert in Phoenix, AZ recently, it was comedian Katt Williams who earned the headline clips as he got into a large scale scuffle while at the show.  But why is he walking around with no shirt on and this hat and spiked "necklace" though?  Watch the video inside....

Who know's what's going on in Katt Williams' world but everytime we mention the comedian's name it invloves some foolywang like getting too drunk, arrested AGAIN, or some other foolishness.  And today is no exception.

At Young Jeezy's concert at the Celebrity Theater in Phoenix, Arizona on Wednesday, Katt got into a fight with a local performer.  He was so crunk he even took his shirt off!

Watch how it all went down here (the fight was already in progress when the cam was turned on):
