Dead Body Found Close To Derby Winner's Barn

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Police say a body has been found in the backside area at Churchill Downs, a few barns away from where Kentucky Derby winner I'll Have Another is kept.
Louisville police spokeswoman Alicia Smiley says authorities were called early Sunday morning to a barn on the backside of the track where the derby took place the night before.
Smiley says police are conducting a death investigation, and a coroner had been called to the scene. She says the body is believed to be a man.
The investigation is under way at barn eight, just four barns away from where I'll Have Another is kept.
About a week after the Kentucky Derby last year, jockey Michael Baze's body was found in a vehicle near the stables at the famed Louisville track. His death was ruled an accidental overdose.

Eli Steals The Show On SNL!!! Pokes Fun At Peyton, Favre & Tebow

Take that, big brother!
On a night when Eli Manning Tebowed, took some indirect shots at Brett Favre’s texting habits and even poked fun at his own manhood, he saved his best shot on “Saturday Night Live” for his older brother, Peyton.
The Giants quarterback scored big with a hilarious commercial spoof for a fictional “Little Brothers” charity, striking a blow for tortured brothers everywhere.
In the skit, the two-time Super Bowl MVP pledged to help kids deal with adversity “especially when that adversity is an older sibling.”
He then told a young boy’s older brother “I’m your worst f----ing nightmare.”
Eli, in a skit reminiscent of the classic United Way spoof Peyton did when he hosted in 2007, went on a rampage. He held one older brother’s head in a toilet, gave another a wedgie, and shot another with an arrow.
“We know that big brothers can be real d---heads,” Eli said.
That’s not a side the usually calm, polite and sometimes awkward Manning has ever shown publicly, but he was clearly willing to step way out of character during his star turn on SNL.
He was dressed in a black unitard for his first skit, showing off some purposely awkward touchdown celebrations for a videogame production. He even “Tebowed” for the skit — getting down on one knee in prayer, in imitation of now-Jets quarterback Tim Tebow’s famous move.
In one of his funnier skits, Manning played a man on trial for murder whose Favrelike “sexts” were read into evidence. That included a picture of Eli in his underwear with a large, well-placed banana between his legs.
Just as he promised, Eli let loose and seemed remarkably comfortable joking and poking fun at himself on stage. He moved seamlessly through his roles, which included an angry Occupy Wall Street protester, a game-show contestant whose new girlfriend was the host and a sketchy male guest on a foreign TV show wearing a platinum blonde wig.
Near the end of the show, he even took a page from Derek Jeter’s “SNL” playbook, appearing in a skit dressed as a woman, wearing a bright yellow dress and another big, blonde wig.
He was even surprisingly animated during his opening monologue, joking about being converted into a true New Yorker. For proof, he offered that the best Italian food in the city can be found at an Olive Garden in New Jersey, and that his favorite musical is “Cats.”
He even said “Fugheddaboudit!” in his lispy Southern drawl.
He joked early that “after the two Super Bowls, this is definitely the third-most exciting night of my life."

Faith Evans Hit W/ B.I.G. Tax Lien, Notorious’ Ex-Wife Owes $60,000

R&B singer Faith Evans is making weekend headlines with reports claiming she owes just over $60,000 to the state of California for debts dating back four years ago.

According to reports, Evans is required to address the tax lien to avoid losing any assets.

Faith Evans, the former wife of rapper Notorious BIG, is becoming quite notorious herself … at least according to the State of California, who just issued a GIANT sized tax lien against the R&B singer. The State of California Tax Franchise Board filed papers recently … claiming Evans failed to fully pay her taxes to the Golden State for the years 2008, 2009 and 2010 … to the tune of $60,357.17. If Evans doesn’t cough up the cash soon, the state could go after any assets she owns — like homes, cars and bank accounts. (Your Black World)

Back in 2010, the renowned singer’s financial woes emerged online.

The IRS filed a $36,360 lien against Evans on March 4 with the New York City Register’s office. The IRS filed a $119,821 lien against Evans on Feb. 16 with the Los Angeles County Recorder of Deeds. The state of New Jersey filed a $204,000 lien against Evans on Oct. 30, 2008, with the New Jersey State Superior Court. (Detroit News)

Around February 2010, the crooner was sued for over $1 million in relation to unreleased Biggie Smalls videos.

It’s all over private home videos of Christopher Wallace — videos that a company called Kaushi Entertainment wanted to use in a documentary. In a lawsuit filed Tuesday in L.A. County Superior Court, Kaushi claims they struck a deal, approved by Faith Evans, in which they would fork over $30k for all of the movies. Kaushi claims they paid up — but Faith Evans, along with several associates, never handed over the goods. Long story short — Kaushi claims they got screwed and want more than $1,000,000 to make things right.

Cash Money Records In Bidding War For Chicago's Newest Star???

Looks like Baby is yet again looking to expand the YMCMB roster. After adding Mystikal, Limp Bizkit and a few other heads to his already huge rap fam, the hype surrounding 16-year-old spitter Cheif Keef has the Birdman rubbing his hands at the possibility of the Chicago native joining the squad.

During a recent interview with MTV, Birdman said the kid would be a perfect fit with Cash Money.Chicago rapper Chief Keef has already built a solid following in the Midwest, but Kanye West gave him a national platform when he decided to remix the 16-year-old's hit "I' Don't Like" for G.O.O.D. Music. Still, a co-sign from 'Ye is only the beginning, as Keef is now being courted by Birdman and Cash Money Records.
Keef got national shine after Kanye remixed his "I Don't Like" track, alongside his G.O.O.D. Music family.On the same night Kanye West tweeted that he would be remixing Keef's single "I Don't Like," the Chi-town rapper tweeted that he was fielding calls from several parties interested in signing him, including Birdman. "Birdman Just Called He Say He Wanna Sign Me Wit #CMB," he wrote in April. And during Wednesday's episode of "RapFix Live," Birdman revealed that he is, in fact, working on adding Chief Keef to the ever-expanding roster at Cash Money. "I like him, he kinda reminds me of us," Birdman told host Sway Calloway, referencing his all-star YMCMB team. "[He's] out the streets, I think he's swagged up and I'm definitely talking to his people and I'd like to see if we can make it pop, see if I can see if I can get him to be down with the team."

48 Transit Workers From Philly Keep Working After Winning $172 Million Dollar Powerball Jackpot

PHILADELPHIA — Four dozen Philadelphia transit agency workers who won a $172 million Powerball drawing are all still working and don't intend to change much about their lives despite becoming millionaires.

A pool of workers at the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority's headquarters scored the winning ticket in the April 25 multi-state lottery. They purchased the ticket at a newsstand across the street.
Though the annuity payout of 30 annual installments was $172 million, the group decided to take a one-time cash payout, reducing their windfall to a mere $107.5 million. Split 48 ways, it amounts to a little more than $2.2 million each before taxes.
Most of the "SEPTA 48," as they call themselves, attended a news conference Friday at the agency's headquarters to smile for cameras with a giant ceremonial check for $107,533,278.27 from Pennsylvania Lottery officials. The real thing will be in winners' hands in four to six weeks, lottery executive director Todd Rucci said.
All who spoke expressed gratitude for the security the windfall will provide their families, but said they don't plan to make any drastic alterations.
"I will still bring my lunch every day," said winner Bryant Vaders with a smile. "My wife makes a lovely lunch for me."
There are technically 49 winners because two co-workers split the $5 per-person buy-in for the office pool. They will split their $2.2 million share.
The enviable crowd ranges in age from 26 to 69 and has logged SEPTA tenure from less than a year to 42 years. They work in a variety of departments. They declined to give specifics on their job titles but said none of the winners currently works as a driver.
They come from "culture, backgrounds, heritages ... as varied as the customer base we serve," said winner Robert Landgraf of suburban Abington.
"We are all in awe. We're excited, we're humbled and we're grateful to be given this gift and this opportunity," he said.
Marylouise Wagner of Essington, just south of Philadelphia, said she underwent heart surgery in January, returned to work after "a long unpaid absence" on April 10 and jumped right back into the lottery pool.
"A scant 15 days later, I won the lottery with my SEPTA co-workers," she said. "I just want to give my message to everyone — don't ever give up because you never know what's right around the corner."
The office pool has been active since 2004, though only when a jackpot reaches $100 million or more. Before their millionaire-making ticket, they said they've probably won $150 a couple of times.
The group said they'll keep on playing the lottery.
Daniel DeSantis, the 42-year SEPTA employee, noted that all the winners showed up for work the next day and continue to do so.
"When I look at the light at the end of the tunnel, it's no longer a regional rail train coming at me, it's a way out," he said with a laugh. "It's a tremendous blessing to all of us."

Phil Mushnick, NY Post writer: Brooklyn Nets should be called 'New York Ni**ers' because of Jay-Z ownership

New York Post columnist Phil Mushnick provoked outrage this week as he used a racial slur in an insensitive rant against the Brooklyn Nets and their co-owner rapper Jay-Z. Opining that the team should consider changing their name to the 'New York Ni**ers' in what one can only assume is meant to be a dig at Jay-Z's use of the n-word in his lyrics, Mushnick argues that since the team has a new "urban" locale it should get the full "Jay-Z treatment.":
As long as the Nets are allowing Jay-Z to call their marketing shots -- what a shock that he chose black and white as the new team colors to stress, as the Nets explained, their new "urban" home -- why not have him apply the full Jay-Z treatment?
Why the Brooklyn Nets when they can be the New York N------s? The cheerleaders could be the Brooklyn B----hes or Hoes. Team logo? A 9 mm with hollow-tip shell casings strewn beneath. Wanna be Jay-Z hip? Then go all the way!
Mushnick's comments have already fueled a firestorm on Twitter, with numerous commentators in the sports world calling for him to be fired by the Post immediately.
The sports blog Bob's Blitz has posted a response from Mushnick to the backlash. He wrote:
Bob - Such obvious, wishful and ignorant mischaracterizations of what I write are common. I don't call black men the N-word; I don't regard young women as bitches and whores; I don't glorify the use of assault weapons and drugs. Jay-Z, on the other hand.....Is he the only NBA owner allowed to call black men N--ers?"
Jay-Z profits from the worst and most sustaining self-enslaving stereotypes of black-American culture and I'M the racist? Some truths, I guess, are just hard to read, let alone think about.

Adam Yauch dies; Beastie Boys rapper was 47

Adam Yauch, the raspy-throated rapper known as MCA whose rhyming skills helped make the Beastie Boys one of the most influential hip-hop groups, died April 6 in New York. He was 47.

The death was confirmed by Billboard magazine, which reported that salivary cancer had been diagnosed in 2009. Because of health problems, Mr. Yauch was unable to attend the Beastie Boys’ induction into the Rock Hall of Fame in April.

Bursting onto the black-dominated hip-hop scene in the 1980s, the Beastie Boys were at first considered rap gimmickry: three white, beer-chugging hellions with little rhyming talent.

Today, the Grammy Award-winning, Brooklyn-based trio is regarded as hip-hop royalty and known as one of the most innovative acts in modern music history.

Mr. Yauch’s lyrics could be zany, socially conscious and surprisingly intellectual — with references to politics, the environment and the astrophysicist Carl Sagan.

In an interview, Dan Charnas, author of “The Big Payback: The History of the Business of Hip-Hop,” called Mr. Yauch “in-your-face, loud, and electric.”

“If you could compare the Beastie Boys to an atom,” Charnas said. “Mike D was the neutron, the straight man. Ad-Rock was the electron, the way, way out into outer space one. MCA — he was the proton, complete energy, the guy with the most forceful voice.”

The Beastie Boys first formed in the early 1980s as a hard core punk band but then dropped their instruments and began rapping. While searching for a DJ to play for them, the group met a New York University student named Rick Rubin.

Rubin and his partner, Russell Simmons, signed the Beastie Boys to their new hip-hop label, Def Jam Recordings, in the mid-1980s. Joining Def Jam, the home of established rappers Run-DMC and LL Cool J, provided the young group with instant clout in the hip-hop industry.

In 1986, the group released its first studio album, “Licensed to Ill.” Propelled by the mega-hit “Fight for Your Right (to Party!)” — an alcohol-soaked anthem to teenage angst — “Licensed to Ill” sold 4 million copies and became the first rap album to reach No. 1 on the Billboard pop charts. (In the “Fight for Your Right” video, Mr. Yauch spews foamy beer into the face of a turtlenecked nerd.)

Of the group’s three bad boys — Mr. Yauch, Adam “Ad-Rock” Horovitz and Michael “Mike D” Diamond — Mr. Yauch was viewed as the baddest. His sexually explicit and violence-laced lyrics were often the most lewd, rude and crude.

In the song “The New Style,” he rapped: “I’ve got money and juice — twin sisters in my bed / Their father had envy so I shot him in the head.”

The Beastie Boys had a falling out with Def Jam in the late 1980s and moved to Los Angeles, where they signed with Capitol Records. Their second album, “Paul’s Boutique,” produced by the Grammy-winning team the Dust Brothers, was recognized by music critics for its innovative use of sampling and layered lyrical references.

In the early 1990s, the Beastie Boys began to mature musically and personally. The group released two critically acclaimed albums in a row: “Ill Communication” (1994), which featured the rock-heavy single “Sabotage,” and “Hello Nasty” (1998), which featured the top singles “Body Movin’ ” and “Intergalactic.”

On “Ill Communication,” Mr. Yauch used the opening song, “Sure Shot,” to apologize for degrading women in the past.

“I want to say a little something that’s long overdue / the disrespect to women has got to be through / to all the mothers and the sisters and the wives and friends / I want to offer my love and respect to the end.”

Adam Nathaniel Yauch was born Aug. 5, 1964, in Brooklyn. His father was a Catholic architect and his mother a Jewish social worker, and he was raised in a secular home.

Besides his parents, survivors include his wife, Dechen Wangdu, who is Tibetan American, and their daughter.

In recent years, Mr. Yauch worked as a film director under the name Nathaniel Hornblower. In 2006, he released a basketball documentary, “Gunnin’ for that #1 Spot,” which centered on a prestigious Harlem playground pick-up game.

On a trip to Asia in the early 1990s, Mr. Yauch met Tibetan refugees while hiking the Himalayas and was inspired to pursue Buddhism.

During the 1990s and 2000s, he organized the Tibetan Freedom Concert, a series of music festivals, most of them lasting two days, that promoted pacifism and Tibetan independence. One was at RFK Stadium in 1998. Proceeds benefited Mr. Yauch’s charity, the Milarepa Fund, named for a Tibetan saint who sought enlightenment by composing music.

Having found Buddhism, Mr. Yauch said he regretted his earlier destructive ways.

“I didn’t realize how much harm I was doing back then,” Mr. Yauch said in 1998. “I had kids coming up to me and saying, ‘Yo, I listen to your record while I’m smoking dust, man.’ And I’d say, ‘Hey, man, we’re just kidding. I don’t smoke dust.’ People need to be more aware of how they’re affecting people.... R.I.P

Obama Kicks Off 2012 Bid With Rallies

On Saturday President Obama and the first lady will hold their first official campaign rallies of the season at stops in Columbus, Ohio, and Richmond, Va. Although the president has spoken at re-election fundraisers for several months now, this weekend's rallies at Ohio State University and Virginia Commonwealth University mark his first non-fundraising events of the campaign season.

The decision to kick things off in the battleground states is no accident, representing two crucial areas in the 2012 challenge. According to a recent Washington Post poll, in Virginia Obama is leading Romney with registered voters by 54 percent to 44 percent. As the Post reports:

The Democratic president has a key advantage in his bid for re­election: The coalition of Virginians that helped propel him to victory in 2008 -- young voters, suburban Washingtonians, women and African Americans -- is largely intact. Yet the survey shows that voters in the state are split on Obama's signature health-care reform law and that they remain deeply pessimistic about the way things are going in the country, creating a potential opening for Romney.

In Ohio, however, Obama and Romney are in a virtual tie. A new Quinnipiac University poll shows the president with 44 percent of the vote, and Romney with 42. It's a particularly dicey showing for the president, who was ahead in the state by 6 points just a month ago. It's no surprise, then, that he's zeroing in for the campaign.

Of course, unofficially the president has been focusing on these and other swing states for months. He was just in Virginia on Friday afternoon, speaking to Arlington high school seniors about his push for Congress to prevent student-loan interest rates from doubling in July. Last month he also visited colleges in Ohio, North Carolina, Iowa and Colorado to speak on the same issue, which has grown into a campaign-shaping theme.

But with Saturday's rallies in place, the campaign has made it official. As Campaign Manager Jim Messina said to reporters in a Wednesday conference call, "Welcome to the general election."

Lil’ Wayne The Movie Star?

Birdman is planning to expand into the world of film and plans to cast his “son” Lil’ Wayne as the star of the upcoming film, Rich Gang. Details about the film are sketchy, but it will be one of several film projects via Birdman’s latest business venture, Cash Money Films. Check out what he toldXXLmag.com‘s Shaheem Reid about the upcoming film.

“We start shooting that in the fall,” Birdman revealed in New York City during a book release party for Cash Money Content author Wahida Clark’s, Payback Ain’t Enough. “That’s the whole team, that’s like a 2012 Balla Blocking. The Rich Gang movie is about the team. Everybody is going to be the star of it, but Wayne will be the center of it. It’s about the team, everybody that’s on the label.”

Birdman wouldn’t reveal if the film will be scripted or a documentary style film, but his confidence in his artist as actors seems very apparent.

“I would like them for just be themselves. I’m not gonna tell no nigga to go to acting school. Just be yourself. We’re excited as a brand about it. Tyga, everybody is like, ‘Stunna, let’s do a  movie.’ We got a few of them lined up and we gonna shoot them.”

What do you think about Lil’ Wayne on the big screen?

No Justice For Kenneth Chamberlain, Cops Won't Face Charges

Officer Anthony Carelli

A Westchester County grand jury cleared the White Plains police officer who shot and killed a 68-year-old retired Marine inside his apartment, officials announced Thursday.
The family slammed the decision as a “blatant cover up” and said it would request a Justice Department investigation.
Westchester County District Attorney Janet DiFiore called the killing of Kenneth Chamberlain “a tragedy on many levels” — but not a crime.
“After due deliberation on the evidence presented in this matter, the grand jury found that there was no reasonable cause to vote an indictment,” she said.
GONZALEZ: GRAND JURY DECISION RAISES MORE QUESTIONS
The racial slur one officer flung at Chamberlain before another cop killed him was explained as an effort to “distract” him, DiFiore said.
“The use of (racial epithets) by anyone, let alone a public servant who is sworn to uphold the public good, is intolerable,” she said.
“I have been assured by the White Plains Police Department that they will be reviewing this behavior,” DiFiore said.
She said she was ordering “a top to bottom review on the use of force against emotionally disturbed people.”
Chamberlain was shot and killed Nov. 19 in his own apartment by cops who initially responded to a mistaken medical alert and then ignored his repeated drunken shouts to go away and leave him alone.
After an hour-long standoff, the cops took the apartment door off its hinges, and shot Chamberlain with a Taser and a beanbag gun before White Plains Officer Anthony Carelli put a bullet in his chest.
Cops said Chamberlain was coming at them with a knife and a hatchet.
Chamberlain’s son, Kenneth Chamberlain Jr., called the failure to indict Carelli a “blatant cover up of the murderous tactics” used by the White Plains police.
“I have to question what evidence was presented to the grand jury,” he said. “It is hard to put trust in a system that I feel has failed me already.”
He and his lawyers will ask the U.S. Attorney General for a criminal investigation, he said.
The grand jury began hearing the case against Carelli three weeks ago, after national attention on in the Trayvon Martin killing in Florida awoke new interest in the November shooting of the elderly black heart patient in Westchester.
Randolph McLaughlin, one of the lawyers representing the Chamberlain family, noted that public pressure in the two cases produced markedly different results.
“It’s easier to indict a vigilante in Florida than it is to get a cop indicted in this county. That’s an outrage,” he said.
McLaughlin said, “Mr. Chamberlain was at all times in his house” and that officers “brutally” killed him after “threatening him, taunting him and using racial slurs.”
“We are asking for a criminal indictment from (Attorney General) Eric Holder,” he said.
White Plains PBA President Robert Riley thanked the grand jury for reaching “the obvious conclusion that Officer Carelli’s actions were necessary and justified.”
“Every police officer’s worst nightmare is to be forced to take a life,” Riley said.
The grand jury had a lot of evidence to work with, including video from the Taser gun and audio from the medical call box in Chamberlain’s apartment.
Chamberlain’s family questioned why cops broke down the door after Chamberlain repeatedly said he didn’t need help and the medical alert company cancelled their police call.
The Daily News revealed last month that Carelli was being sued for race-based brutality, as were two other White Plains cops working that night.
Police records showed that White Plains police were often called to Chamberlain’s apartment to deal with his yelling.

The Sandman Goes Down!!! Mariano Comes Up Limp Catching Fly Balls!!!

The beauty of the man has not always just been the right arm and the grace and the fastball and the ninth innings, has not just been a career that saw him become the Babe Ruth of Yankee pitchers, the beauty of Mariano Rivera was the boy in him. Even as he got older, even as he continued to close games into his 40s, he stayed young. It is why he kept chasing fly balls in the outfield in the afternoon before Yankee games. The baseball boy in him.
I would stand with him in front of his locker and say, “Who’s the best outfielder on this team, really?”
This year or any year.
Mo Rivera would smile and say, “You know the answer.”
And I’d tell him I wanted to hear him say it. So he would.
“I am,” Mo would say.
So that is where he was on Thursday in Kansas City, far from the pitcher’s mound and far from Yankee Stadium, chasing down another batting practice fly ball when his right knee gave out and he went down out there, with what is now reported to be a torn ACL.
It is one thing, even if it is a terrible thing, to watch a basketball kid like Iman Shumpert of the Knicks blow out a knee in a playoff game against the Miami Heat. It is another thing to watch it happen to the great Rivera at the age of 42, watch him get carted off the field in the first week of May in what many thought was going to be his last season in baseball.
“It’s bad,” Derek Jeter said. “Mo shagged every day. Been doing it as long as I’ve known him.”
“Mo’s a vital part of this team, on the field, off the field,” Jeter said. “He’s going to be missed.”
“Mo is Mo,” the captain of the Yankees said finally. “There’s no one like him, there’s never going to be anyone like him.”
No one is writing off the greatest Yankee pitcher of them all, the greatest baseball closer of them all, the greatest money pitcher there has ever been and will ever be in baseball. But he is 42 and is gone for the season now because his knee explodes on an evening in Kansas City.
And when he is finally knocked out of things, it doesn’t happen because somebody knocks him out of a ninth inning, it doesn’t happen with him trying to close one more game for the Yankees.
It happens before the game even starts.
When it happens to Rivera, it isn’t his right arm that gives out on him, it is his right knee. So much drama as to what happened in Kansas City, and so much irony, too. One of the biggest Yankees of them all gets carried out of the season, not in a way that anyone ever could have imagined.
He will be checked out again in New York, but doctors everywhere are hardly ever wrong about a torn ACL. Maybe the first one to know how bad it was was Mariano Rivera himself.
Even in the time of Jeter, another of this time who is on his way to the Hall of Fame and Monument Park, Rivera was always the best of all of them, closing all those games, breaking the record, being the last out again and again when the Yankees were winning all those World Series.
Obviously, this is a terrible blow to their chances this season, but it is as much a loss to baseball, because Rivera’s life and career have been a monument to the possibilities of the game, the possibilities that sports can still provide to a skinny kid from Panama.
And somehow, because of his grace and enduring excellence after he came through the outfield walls at the Stadium, the old Stadium and the new one, it always seemed fitting that he would be the last player in his game to wear Jackie Robinson’s No. 42 before that number is retired from good.
These past few years, we kept waiting for him to slip, to lose something off that cut fastball. But it never happened. The slip finally came in the outfield in Kansas City in the afternoon.
There was the day last season when I was sitting with him in front of his locker, because there has never been a better place to be and talk baseball with a Yankee, and I asked him how he would know when it was time to retire.
“No one will ever have to tell me,” he said. “No one will ever accuse me of hanging on. When it is my time to go, I will be the first to know.”
And then he would go out and get three more outs in the ninth inning, and look the same as he did in all the other years. He started to make you think he would stay young forever. It was why he was in the outfield again yesterday, a knee giving out before his right arm ever did.

Octomom Bankrupt, Agrees to Do Adult Film

As crazy as this news might seem, it's actually a sad story when you stop to think about it. Nadya "Octomom" Suleman has just filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, and despite her past assurances that she would never do porn, she recently stated that she would in fact be willing to do porn to support her children. When asked on HLN's "Showbiz Tonight" whether or not she'd be willing to do porn, Nadya stated:

"You know if the opportunity comes up, I'll be the first to admit, I'm gonna eat my words because all that matters is that I can take care of my family. However, I would not kiss somebody. I wouldn't touch somebody. I have had to make some very difficult decisions the year, and filing Chapter 7 was one of them. But I have to do what is best for my children and I need a fresh start."

Early last month, Suleman posed for an almost fully nude spread for a British magazine, and was paid $8,000. Those revealing pictures sparked questions of whether or not she would be willing to do porn to pay the bills, and at that time she said definitely not.

Aside from collecting $2,000 every month in food stamps (also going back on her word that she'd never go on welfare) Nadya has been struggling greatly, as one would imagine would happen if you're trying to raise 14 children by yourself.

Top dog of Vivid Entertainment, Steve Hirsch, offered to pay Nadya $1 million dollars to do porn movies back in 2009. This past March, he apparently made her an offer of $100,000 if she agreed to do three hardcore sex scenes.

Since money struggles already forced her to go back on her word about doing porn films in general, lets hope she doesn't end up eating her words about not being willing to do sex scenes as well.

Jay-Z Is Loving Beyonce's Post Blue Ivy Body!

Beyonce and Jay-Z spend some romantic time together while on vacation.

Motherhood is working out extremely well for Beyonce.

 Beyonce Lost 50 Pounds Since Having Blue Ivy

Since the "Love On Top" singer gave birth to Blue Ivy Carter in January, she has been named the World's Most Beautiful Woman, lost about 50 pounds, and cozied up to a husband who is loving her more than ever.

A pal of Beyonce told US Weekly that Jay-Z, "is loving her body!"

The bootylicious singer is curvier than ever and she's already said her body is a lot softer now. We can credit that to her trainer Marco Borges. The duo hit the gym five times a week and he tells US, they "do cardio and plyometric moves like lunges and jumps on and off a bench."

Oh, so that's how she got her sexy back. Beyonce also tells us that Hova likes the more natural Bey:

"He loves it when I wear flat shoes, which is surprising -- he never saw me in flats before!... He likes me more natural -- just the relaxed, natural me."



It's good to see a couple so deep in love after all these years. It's no wonder Beyonce is head over heels about Blue, she even has a name plate with her daughter's moniker on it.

Diddy Responds To G-Dep’s “Guilty” Conviction On Murder Charges, Says It Wasn’t In G-Dep’s “Nature”

Diddy was a guest on Funkmaster Flex’s radio show on HOT 97 in NYC and spoke candidly about the recent murder conviction of former Bad Bay artist G-Dep.

“I was like, ‘Wow’. None of that was in G. Dep’s nature. When there were certain things that he was going through with the substance abuse situation, he’d be a different person, but on an everyday [basis], he was probably one of the nicest, most quietest, shyest, most humble cats that were out there. It was just so out of his character that it was mind-blowing.”

G-Dep confessed to the shooting in December 2010 – a long ago, botched robbery that resulted in the shooting death of a man named John Henkel. Dep will be sentenced on May 8 and faces 15 years to life in prison.

During the interview, Diddy also addressed hopping on Wale’s “Slight Work” remix alongside the former Robin to his Batman, Ma$e.

“Me and Mase are cool. We’ve kept in touch over the years. I love Mase,” he told Flex of the MC who once retired to become a preacher. “If it wasn’t for Mase, I wouldn’t be where I was at today. Me and him were like Batman and Robin. So it felt good to get back on a record with him, and it’s one of the hottest, most intense records in the club. That’s what I specialize in. And then talking that talk.”

Is Nas’ Daughter, Destiny Jones, Starring In His “Daughters” Video?

It looks like we were 100% right when we told you earlier this week that Nas’ 17-year-old daughter, Destiny Jones, is not upset with her dad over his song “Daughters”. In fact, several photos have leaked online today that show Destiny on the set of Nas’ new video for “Daughters”, which makes us believe that Destiny may be starring as herself in the video that chronicles Nas’ mistakes and triumphs as a dad.

Check out a few of the photos below, courtesy of Hip-Hop Wired.

ATL and famed music director Chris Robinson will be directing the No I.D. produced song and from the photo above, it looks like June Ambrose will be styling Nas and Destiny for the video.

Nas’ tenth album, Life Is Good, will be released on July 17th.

New Book About President Obama, His Dating Life As A Columbia University Graduate In 1983

A revealing new book by David Maraniss details future President Barack Obama's dating life as a Columbia University grad in 1983.

Barack Obama was looking for love in New York City.
The future President, who in 1983 was a recent graduate of Columbia University, chatted up an assistant teacher at a party that Christmas, according to a revealing new book.
And Obama apparently earned Genevieve Cook’s endorsement — they went on a date just days later and she spent that night at his tiny Manhattan apartment.
Obama’s dating life — and love letters — during the years he spent in the city are detailed in “Barack Obama: The Story” by David Maraniss, excerpts of which Vanity Fair published Wednesday.

Using Obama’s writings and ex-girlfriends’ diaries, Maraniss paints a picture of the future leader of the free world as an intense, conflicted and sometimes brooding intellectual.
But it’s those smarts that drew Cook to Obama after their chance meeting at that East Village apartment party.
While sitting on an orange beanbag chair, the two bonded over the time each spent in Indonesia as youths — and when the night ended, they exchanged phone numbers.
“I think maybe he cooked me dinner,” she wrote. “Then we went and talked in his bedroom. And then I spent the night. It all felt very inevitable."
Cook remembers that Obama also used to spend Sundays in his room wearing a sarong, drinking coffee and solving crossword puzzles.
She described the room as a “a mixture of smells that so strongly speak of his presence, his liveliness, his habits — running sweat, Brut spray deodorant, smoking, eating raisins, sleeping, breathing.”
And while Cook wrote about Obama’s “sexual warmth,” she felt he sometimes kept her at arm’s length — and when she said “I love you,” he often responded “thank you” rather than “I love you, too.”
He met his future wife Michelle in 1989. 

Estranged Mother Hunts Down Biological Son Via Facebook, Start A Sexual Affair

Mistie Atkinson, 32, of northern California, accused of having sex with her estranged 16-year-old son after contacting him on Facebook.

"It appears she hadn't had any contact with the son for 15 years, and now he's 16," the source told The News.

"She contacted him late last year via Facebook and was sending him messages inappropriately," the source said.

Police in Napa, Calif., were serving a search warrant in early March when they found Mistie Atkinson, 32, and the son in a hotel room, authorities said.

She was arrested and charged with four felonies including incest, oral copulation with a minor and contacting a minor for sex using electronic communication.

The fourth charge involves Atkinson sending naked photos to the teen, a prosecution source told The News.

Atkinson has pleaded not guilty and faces up to five years in jail if convicted.

She is due back in court May 10.

Napa police said in a court filing that videos taken from the teen's phone show Atkinson allegedly performing oral sex and engaging in sexual intercourse with the boy, the Napa Valley Register reported.

The videos were dated Feb. 3 and Feb. 4, the paper said.

"Atkinson and the victim are aware they are biological mother and son," police said in a court affidavit.

Atkinson has a history of contact with cops, including multiple domestic violence calls involving the residence in Nice, Calif., she shares with a boyfriend, police said.

She was arrested for domestic battery Nov. 27, police said.

"That appears to be the start of her spiral," the law enforcement source said, linking the arrest to her pursuit of the teen.

The father of the boy, who has full custody, has obtained a restraining order against Atkinson, the Napa Valley Register reported.
