FOOLYWANG: Soulja Boy's "Red Bentley" IMPOUNDED, PHOTOGRAPHED In A HIT & RUN! Posted: 23 May 2013 06:54 AM PDT Soulja Boy's "Red Bentley" was impounded by LAPD after incriminating videos and pictures of the car fleeing a hit and run were discovered. Get the deets inside...   Rapper Soulja Boy (shown above in a recent IG photo of his "Red Bentley") had his car impounded after the vehicle was implicated in a hit and run. TMZ reports that a red Bentley collided with a motorcycle driver on January 8 and was seen fleeing the scene, leaving the driver severely injured.  Meanwhile, the Bentley's driver might have gotten away with the crime if it weren't for the detective work of the victim's friend. The "friend" combed the area for anyone who could point-out the driver and it didn't take long for a valet at Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles to determine that Soulja Boy, who recorded a song called "Red Bentley" , was the owner of the vehicle. And to make sure the "Red Bentley" belonged to the rapper, the LAPD used their database of hidden cameras (which unknowingly takes random pictures of the city 24/7) to match the car's license plates to a red Bentley with "damage that corresponded to the accident." Of course, Soulja had already gotten the car repaired after the hit and run, but the surveillance photos don't lie!  Fast forward....the cops obtained a search warrant and now an investigation is underway. Somebody's ALWAYS watching.... The randomness: 1.  "Cleveland Rescuer" Charles Ramsey offered free hamburgers for life!  Story.

"LOVE & HIP HOP" Filming HALTED Over Contract DISPUTES And WALKOUTS Posted: 23 May 2013 05:59 AM PDT The filming of "LAHH NY" didn't start as scheduled after half of the cast stormed off set and the others didn't bother to show up this week. Find out why the cast is so angry inside... The cast of last season's "LAHH NY" aren't too pleased with Mona Scott-Young and the execs over at VH1.  TMZ reports that the show was set to film a trailer on Tuesday, but hit a snafu when half the cast didn't show up. While half of the cast stayed home to protest failed contract renegotiations, those who did show up didn't get anything accomplished either.  Reportedly, there were several "stars" who stormed off the set. Apparently, several members of the cast want their salaries doubled, while others, unhappy with how they were portrayed, would like more creative control. As a result of the fallout, producers are meeting with angry cast memebers and hoping to have the-ish resolved by the end of the week. SMH.  Since there weren't any breakout stars this season....what makes these folks think they can't be replaced?

BABY FAB: Amar'e & Alexis Stoudemire WELCOME Their FOURTH Child...A BOY! Posted: 23 May 2013 05:19 AM PDT NY Knicks forward Amar'e Stoudemire and his wife Alexis gave birth to their fourth child yesterday.  See what the happy couple said about their bundle of joy inside... Amar'e & Alexis Stoudemire, one of New York's most fashionable couples, gave birth to their fourth child yesterday.  The happy couple (shown above in their wedding photo) tweeted, “We are proud to announce we added a healthy baby boy to the Stoudemire team this morning. Alexis & the baby are doing great. #Blessed” The Stoudemire family has had a lot going on in the past few months.  After getting in engaged in Paris in June, the couple was married in December of 2012 on the roof of their fabulous NYC apartment. The newest "little one" will be welcomed home by siblings Ar’e, Amar’e Jr. and Assata.

"BACK" AT IT: Former "PORN" Star Montana Fishburne's IMPROMPTU Beach STRIPTEASE Posted: 22 May 2013 07:23 PM PDT Montana Fishburne, the daughter of actor Laurence Fishburne has surfaced for the first time since her famed-descent into the world of porn.  See her flaunt her bikini body inside... Remember Montana Fishburne?  She's the daughter of famed actor Laurence Fishburne who did a stint in the porn world under the name "Chippy D".  Her 2010 video  Montana Fishburne: An A-List Daughter Makes her XXX Debut was released to national fanfare and went on to become a bestseller. Though we haven't seen or heard from Montana since then, she was "spotted" walking her dogs on the beach in Santa Monica , CA yesterday.   Once Montana noticed that she'd caught the eye of a photographer, she starting "playing it up for the camera" and removed her shirt and pants. She stripped down to her bikini (and by bikini we mean bra and panties) and we have to admit...she looks good. We don't know if this "impromptu" strip down was planned or not, but Montana sure does love the attention!  Maybe she's ready to return to the business?  But we just hope this chile sVes her daddy some heartache and doesn't do porn again.

SPEAK ON IT: Would Dr. Dre's $70 Million DONATION Been BETTER SUITED For An HBCU? Posted: 22 May 2013 05:44 PM PDT Since his $70 Million donation to USC went public, some folks have questioned why Dr. Dre didn't make a donation to a struggling HBCU.  Speak On It inside...   In a previous post, we told you about music mogul Dr. Dre teaming with Jimmy Iovine to donate $70 Million dollars to the University of Southern California to create the Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young Academy for Arts, Technology and the Business of Innovation. And we praised him for doing so.  But not everyone is happy about it. In an Op-Ed for the LA Times, Walter M. Kimbrough, the President of Dillard University was particularly vocal and questioned if Dr. Dre could have or should have made a donation to an HBCU. He wrote, "What if Dre had given $35 million — his half of the USC gift and about 10% of his wealth, according to a Forbes estimate — to an institution that enrolls the very people who supported his career from the beginning? An institution where the majority of students are low-income? A place where $35 million would represent a truly transformational gift? Why didn't Dr. Dre give it to a black college?" He added, "In 2011, the National Science Foundation noted that black colleges are a major source of scientists and engineers. In fact, the top five producers of blacks who go on to earn science, technology, engineering and math graduate degrees are black colleges, as are 20 of the top 50. Once you add in the musical legacy of black colleges' choirs and marching bands, they are the perfect locations for an academy like this. In the end, though, this is his money, and endowing a program geographically nearby, where he can have ongoing input and contact, makes sense. I do hope it will recruit and enroll a diverse class of students and not become some enclave for the already privileged student body there." What do you think of Dr. Kimbrough's statement? Would Dr. Dre's donation have been better suited for an HBCU in need?  Or is education simply education, esp. since plenty of kids everywhere support and like hip hop. SPEAK ON IT!

Ciara's "I'm Out" FEATURING Nicki Minaj + Christopher Wallace's DAUGHTER T'yanna LAUNCHES "Notoriuss" Clothing LINE Posted: 22 May 2013 03:00 PM PDT Ciara's latest single, "I'm Out" featuring Nicki Minaj has been released. Listen to the new song inside and see gear from T'yanna Wallace's "Notoriuss" clothing line...   Following their "I'm Legit" collaboration, pop starlet Ciara has re-loaded with rapper Nicki Minaj for her latest song, "I'm Out."  The new single, which follows "Body Party", will appear on the upcoming disc Ciara (July 9th). The bass-heavy club banger featuring Ciara singing ditching her boyfriend and partying around town with her girlfriends.  She spoke to MTV News about the rhyme Nicki laid for the track saying, "The energy of the record is so dope, and it's really for the ladies, and Nicki she just killed the verse. She literally murdered it, like she got that throw-back, that thing that she does that's so special. She went in." While Ciara preps for the album release, she revealed that she'll promote Ciara with a full tour.  Listen "I'm Out" here: And in retail news.... T'yanna Wallace, the daughter of the late Notorius B.I.G. has launched a new clothing line in honor of her slain dad, "Notoriuss".

SNEAK PEEK: Toya & Memphitz Wright's REALITY SHOW Posted: 22 May 2013 01:40 PM PDT Yeah, we're not surprised either.  Another reality show out of ATL is on the way. Toya Wright is back on the scene.  And this time, it's with her husband Mickey "Memphitz" Wright.  Check out their new sizzle reel inside... No word yet on if, when or where this will be released, but it looks like the Wrights are shopping yet another reality show (in addition to that Mistresses of Atlanta foolywangery).   These folks love some reality TV and cameras don't they?  It also explains why they have been at every party known to man in Atlanta lately...and why they've been hopping around the world on umpteen trips every other day. The cute couple (we admit, we may actually watch just for the hell of it) discuss what made them fall in love with each other.  Toya's independence and business ethic is what Memph loves.  And Toya loves how he loves his kids and handles his business as well. We just saw the sizzle reel for "Toya & Memphitz: Crazy In Love".  And it's worth mentioning that it seems very fluffy.  Somewhat along the lines of "Tiny & Toya" and "Toya: A Family Affair".  Since those lived on BET, we wouldn't be surprised if the network cops this reality show as well.  The couple's sizzle reel is below, and you'll see them discussing having a new baby (Toya wants another, Memphitz isn't so sure), the two interviewing ladies to be Memphtiz's personal assistant, and yep...they discuss the K.Michelle drama and the allegations Memph abused her. Check it out below: Will you be watching?   BONUS: 1. Paris Hilton signs to Cash Money Records!  Story.

OFF TO REHAB: Lil' Scrappy ADMITS He's "ADDICTED" To Marijuana Posted: 22 May 2013 01:05 PM PDT Rapper Lil' Scrappy has revealed that he's "addicted' to marijuana and plans to enter a rehab facility.  Find out what prompted the "disclosure" inside... Lil' Scrappy appeared in a Georgia courtroom earlier today where court officials revealed that he'd tested positive for the use of marijuana.  No big shocker there...but the "timing" of his decision to enter rehab has raised a few eyebrows. After the court hearing, Lil' Scrappy's lawyer, Mawuli Mel Davis, told TMZ that his client  admits to being a marijuana addict and will enter into a rehab facility BEFORE his next court hearing in June. SMH....how convienent.  By going to rehab BEFORE a judge questions him about his drug use, it will appear as though Lil' Scrappy is starting to take his probation seriously.  Right?  Either way this plays out, we don't expect the rapper will be around for the season finale of "LAHH ATL".  He'll either be in rehab or behind bars for violating parole.  Hmmm....we wonder whom Mama Dee will choose to escort The Prince Of The South to rehab? Will it be the baby mama Erica or the lady in waiting Shay?      Photos via TMZ/Dennis Byron

TOO RATCHET FOR INSTAGRAM? Rihanna Posts "Pour It Up" Video Flicks, One Gets SNATCHED Posted: 22 May 2013 11:35 AM PDT Get ready for Ratchetville, USA, brought to you by Rihanna's "Pour It Up" video.  The singer and her friends have been Instagram'ing flicks from the set before the video wrapped today.  And a few hours ago, Rihanna's last self-proclaimed ratchet-pic got yanked!   Check the pics inside, and the one that was removed (NSFW)... We all know Rih Rih is a true bad gal at heart.  And she has no problems with showing her ass, literally, to the world.  So that's exactly what she did a few hours ago with THIS pic:     We feel like we've seen worse on Instagram, but either Rihanna or the Instagram god themselves snatched this pic down after a couple hours and over 38,000 likes.   Rih also posted a pic of stripper shoes and money from the set...with her face on it of course.  So obviously, we're going with a stripper theme (in one way or another) for this video. Her bestie Melissa was on the set scraping up the money in a pail: Oh. And this pic was posted a few days ago of Rih Rih with Melissa asking 'if this was ratchet enough' for us. This shall be interesting...   Photos: Rihanna's Instagram/Melissa's Instagram

Kelly Rowland REPORTEDLY Earning $1 Million For New "X-Factor" Gig + Christina Milian's Daughter Violet Meets Oprah Winfrey! Posted: 22 May 2013 11:09 AM PDT R&B starlet Kelly Rowland's "X-Factor" salary has been revealed.  Find out how much she'll earn at the judge's table inside and see which legendary tv personality posed for pics with Christina Milian's daughter Violet on the set of "The Voice"...   Yesterday, Kelly Rowland (shown above with Demi Lovato and Paulina Rubio) made her first official appearance as an "X-Factor" judge since FOX made the announcement earlier this week.  In a statement about his selection, "X-Factor" creator Simon Cowell said, “It’s taken more than a decade but I’m delighted to finally be on a panel with three girls (I think!). Paulina and Kelly both have great taste and massive experience in the music industry and together with Demi, this is going to be a fun panel. It just feels like the time to do something different” And Kelly, who previously appeared on the UK's version of "X-Factor" shared her joy saying, “I am very excited to be reuniting with Simon Cowell and ‘The X Factor‘ family. It feels great to be able to take this journey here at home in the States.” The "Dirty Laundry" singer is reportedly earning $1 Million to sit on the panel! Though it's a far cry from the $15 Million the execs wasted on Britney Spears last season, it's still a respectable income and will allow Kelly to promote her Talk A Good Game disc (June 18th) on a national platform. Congrats Kelly!     In other LA entertainment news...   At the tender age of three, Christina Milian's daughter Violet has experienced what many people dream about...meeting Oprah!  Yesterday, the adorable tot met the icon on the set of her mommy's job at "The Voice."  Christina tweeted about it all saying: "Violet is one lucky girl! Today she met THE LEGENDARY @Oprah! Wow! What an honor! V was totally into her and so was O! Man, my daughter lives a life! Not to mention I had some great moments with her! Thanks for coming by #TheVoice #Oprah! We you!" And after a wonderful afternoon with The O..... Christina was spotted heading out to dinner, rocking her new red weavaliciousness. The Cash Money record artists dined out at The Supper Club in West Hollywood with her boyfriend, Rap-a-Lot Records CEO Jas Prince.  Fans of Chris should expect to hear new music from her Cash Money debut in the forthcoming months.        Photos via PacificCoastNews.com/FOX
