Donda West's Nephew Under Investigation

A year after Kanye West's mother, Donda, 58, died while recovering from plastic surgery California authorities have launched a probe into the possible role of Donda West's nephew, Stephan Scoggins, 46. A registered nurse, Scoggins was supervising West's post-surgery care with West's assistant and a friend when, according to a source familiar with the situation, he left the house to attend a baby shower the day after West underwent breast augmentation and liposuction last Nov. 10. West died that evening at a Los Angeles hospital. At the time, the death of the rapper's mother was described by a family spokesman as "the result of complications from a cosmetic surgical procedure," a statement that placed intense scrutiny on West's surgeon, Dr. Jan Adams. But last January, a Los Angeles coroner ruled that West died of "multiple post-operative factors," effectively clearing Dr. Adams of responsibility. In this new development, an investigator with the California Department of Consumer Affairs has issued subpoenas asking individuals "to testify in the matter of the investigation of Stephan Scoggins."

Whitney Houston Sued By Stepmom

Whitney disputes all of Barbara Houston's claims.

Michael Vick Pleads Guilty

Former NFL quarterback Michael Vick pleaded guilty Tuesday to a state dogfighting charge, a move that could make him eligible to leave prison early and potentially speed up a return to pro football. Vick, 28, arrived wearing wrist and ankle shackles, but they were removed by the time he entered the courtroom. The former Atlanta Falcons star also pleaded not guilty to a count of cruelty to animals, but that count was dropped under his plea deal. Vick's mother, Brenda Boddie, brother Marcus Vick and fiancee Kijafa Frink walked in together and sat together in the front row of the gallery with other family and friends. Vick's mother declined to comment to reporters but Marcus Vick acknowledged the family was glad the ordeal was nearly over. After the hearing, Surry County Commonwealth Attorney Gerald Poindexter approached Vick's mother and hugged her, saying, "At least some of this is over." Vick already is serving a 23-month sentence in Leavenworth, Kan. for bankrolling a dogfighting operation at a home he owned in eastern Virginia's rural Surry County, southeast of Richmond. He also admitted to participating in the killing of several underperforming dogs. He's scheduled for release on July 20, 2009, and will serve three years of probation. The latest plea is important because it resolves the remaining charges against him, which is required under federal law if he is to move into a halfway house. He received a three-year suspended sentence Tuesday.

Jaime reveals, "I spent hours getting the nuances of the person, making him real. I pushed things a bit...put a gap in my teeth. Some might think I fucked up my grill for nothing but I just wanted to come up with something to make the part unique. I had one chipped out with a chisel."

Travis Wants A Child Support Cut

From the Atlanta Journal and Constitution:
Former pro football player Travis Henry, who fathered nine children by nine women, returned to DeKalb County Superior Court on Wednesday to try to reduce child support payments for one son. Henry wants to modify an order to pay $3,000 a month to the boy’s mother, Jameshia Beacham. His lawyer said the amount should be reduced now that Henry is unemployed —- and likely out of the National Football League for good. Atlanta attorney Randall M. Kessler said Henry was released by the Denver Broncos because of his age —- he’s 30 —- and because of an injury. “He’s got child support obligations across the country, and he’s got zero income,” Kessler told Judge Clarence Seeliger. Henry also has other expenses. He was arrested last month in an alleged cocaine deal, and was released after posting a $400,000 bond. Seeliger set the child support payments last year, when Henry was working as a running back. The judge also ordered Henry to establish a $250,000 trust fund by last spring. The judge’s order noted that Henry had squandered money, spending $100,000 for a car and $146,000 for jewelry, and said the fund was required as backup should Henry fail to make payments. Henry appealed that order, and the Georgia Court of Appeals recently agreed to hear the case. Robert Wellon, lawyer for the mother, argued against reducing the monthly payments. He asked for documentation about how much Henry has spent from a $3 million payment the player received from the Broncos this year. He also asked the judge for time to determine whether Henry’s dismissal from the Broncos was involuntary or was precipitated by Henry’s own actions. Wellon said that if Henry was dismissed due to his own actions, the child support payments should not be reduced. “Voluntariness is never a ground for modification,” he said. In June, when the Broncos dumped Henry, coach Mike Shanahan was quoted by the Rocky Mountain News as saying that Henry was “too inconsistent as a person.” “We have certain expectations about the way we do things,” Shanahan said at the time. “He didn’t meet those.”Seeliger agreed to Wellon’s request to seek more information. The next hearing has not been scheduled.

Micheal Jackson will not have to testify in London after all. Mike recently settled the lawsuit filed against him by Bahrainian Sheik Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa who claims M Jack stiffed him out of $7 million dollars. And it's a good thing too. The Sheik had a signed agreement and everything so it was basically a slam dunk. Plus, in preliminary hearings in London last week, Mike's former nanny Grace Rwaramba testified that Mike deposited money given to him by the Sheik into her bank account because Jacko didn't have one. Oh, and now "they're" saying that Mike's Muslim conversion was a publicity stunt.

Brandy

has not told her daughter about the car crash she was involved in that left one woman dead. She reveals, "It was a very tough time, and I still have never talked about it with Sy'rai. I had to be a mother and stay strong for her. I'd cry when she'd go to sleep so she wouldn't see me like that - I had a responsibility to her." Why are we bringing this up? Because Brandy is promoting her new cd 'Human' so she's been on the promo circuit spilling her guts. She also says the reason she lied about being married is because she felt tremendous pressure to be a good role model. And she declares, "I think this is my year because I've decided that I'm going to go with the flow in my life. The purpose of my life is music. It's my responsibility to give the fans something they've been waiting for, something they deserve."

The Roots In A Bus Crash

The Roots' bus tipped over in Belgium, but everybody is ok. Bassist Owen Biddle released a statement saying they are, "all in surprisingly good shape and very thankful to be alive," after the bus lost control with the seven-piece band and five crew members mostly asleep. He goes on to describe the crash recalling, "I was startled awake, bracing against the roof of my bunk when the bus began violently rocking and eventually slammed down on it's left side, on top of a van, which our driver said had veered into us, sending both vehicles, wedged together, off the road and into trees beyond the right margin. Not knowing which way was up at first, I made my way out through the window of the upstairs back lounge, which was facing the ground and had been smashed by rescue workers. The response was immediate. We were taken to a nearby hotel as a sort of staging area. From there, I was one of two who opted to go to the hospital for X-rays, as I was having trouble lifting my right arm. Only minor stuff," he says. But the crash didn't stop the show. The Roots are back on the road headed to Paris to open for Kanye.

Remy Home For Christmas?

She will be if she has her way. Incarcerated rapper Remy Ma filed an appeal against the eight year bid she pulled after being convicted of shooting one of her girl pals in the gut over a missing 3 grand. The basis of her appeal accuses the judge of making several mistakes while instructing the jury on victim Makeda Barnes Joseph's testimony, plus Remy thinks the jury should not have been told about how she and her people jumped on Makeda's boyfriend while threatening him about Makeda's testimony. Yeah, that should go over well.

Wanda Sykes Comes Out

Kat Williams Gone Crazy

Kat Williams got committed to a psychiatric hospital in South Carolina over the weekend. Your boy was trying to check into a motel wearing a bathrobe, a towel on his head and acting weird, causing hotel employees to call the cops on him, but since there weren't any crimes being committed they left. Later that day Kat appeared on the doorstep of attorney Garryl Deas asking for help. During their brief conversation, Deas said Kat told him he felt the police were "attempting to violate his rights" and he was interested in retaining Deas' services. Kat talked to Deas about his career and said people thought he was missing because he hadn't shown up for a few gigs. Kat also told him there were rumors he had died in a plane crash, which Deas said was obviously not true. Deas told Kat he had to leave the office for a court date and Kat asked if he could wait for him, which he did. When Deas got back Kat was acting even weirder and speaking gibberish. Deas called Kat's fam and they came and had his ass committed to Santee Wateree Mental Health Center.

Poor Yeezy. The paparazzi will not leave him alone. Your boy was leaving a club in the UK when he got into a scuffle with the paps and was later arrested. Here's 'Ye's side of the story in all caps, cause that's the way he does it.
HERE’S WHAT HAPPENED…WHEN I LEFT THE CLUB, I WAS ENCOUNTERED BY A THIRSTY PAPARAZZI AS USUAL. HE FELT HE HAD MORE RIGHTS TO MY SPACE THAN ME, SO I PUT MY HAND UP TO PREVENT HIM FROM TAKING MY IMAGE. I DIDN’T ASSAULT HIM BUT MERELY PUTTING MY HAND UP TO COVER HIS LENS.

The Vegas DA told the press, "It took a while for the lab to analyze the substances, which caused a delay in filing the charges. Considering Mr. Knight's notoriety, these are serious charges." The night he was arrested Suge was charged with felony assault and misdemeanor domestic violence but he may skate on that because his girlfriend has since gone missing and with no complainant, there's no case.

Damon Dash Don't Have A Pot To Piss In

or a window to throw it out of.
This here dirt comes straight from the NY Daily News:
"I've worked with musicians, artists and entertainers that in the eyes of the media are very wealthy," said lawyer Jason Gabbard, who represented a fashion firm that settled a suit against Damon Dash and his wife over $148,505 in unpaid fees. "But to borrow a phrase from my Kentucky homeland, they haven't got a pot to piss in - they're broke." A Manhattan judge this week ordered the city to seize Dash's Chevrolet Tahoe, since he wasn't making the $714.99 monthly payment on the leased SUV. That October suit came on the heels of one in August, when Eastern Savings Bank foreclosed on the $7.3 million mortgage for two trendy Tribeca condos where the monthly $78,504.26 bill went unpaid for months. Dash faces an outstanding $2.1 million tab with the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance, a $4,500 bill from the state for not paying workers' comp and a suit that says he stiffed the law firm that handled his child-custody case. Dash even got dumped by another firm representing him in a $3.5 million suit against accountant-to-the-stars Barry Klarberg, who is accused of bungling his tax returns, costing him millions.

Her friend told her in New York state law you're entitled to 17% but that's up until $80,000...She looked at the Forbes and goes, 'You robbing me.'"

Pepa In Real Estate Scandal


Sandy 'Pepa' Denton got drama with her ex-husband and his baby mama. One year after Pepa divorced Naughty by Nature front man Anthony 'Treach' Criss, she met and married this dude named Emora Horton. Soon after, Emora and Pep formed Scotch Bonnet Realty Corp. with Emora running the business. Within a year Emora got his ex-girl friend, Cateania Matthews, pregnant and he and Pep divorced but stayed in business together. At some point Emora and his baby mama Cateania pulled a scam where Scotch Bonnett Realty 'sold' her a house but the lied about the amount of money she put down on it in order to secure a home equity loan for $30,000.00.
Fast forward, Cateania is in bankruptcy court trying to get out of paying the loan while Pepa is claiming her name was forged on the transfer deed and that the house should still belong to her with no liens attached. In the end, Pep decided not to push it and told her lawyer, "I'm a mother; she's a mother. Fine, let it go." They say by the end of Tuesday's court proceedings, the two women were smiling, crying and hugging each other, clearly relieved to have put the legal battle behind them. Cateania is to give up the property as part of her Chapter 13 court proceedings.
