Breakingg News: Lil Wayne Detained By Texas Border Patrol

Lil' Wayne was rollin' through Texas with marijuana on multiple tour buses, this according to the U.S. Border Patrol.

Border Patrol agents tell TMZ a random search of the vehicles (pictured above) uncovered a pot stash on two buses -- but we're told no drugs were found on Wayne's person ... or anyone else in the entourage.

Officials tell us a drug-sniffing K-9 unit picked up the scent outside the bus. Agents then walked the dogs onto the bus, where they located the weed.

As we first reported, Wayne and 11 members of his entourage are being detained at an internal B.P. checkpoint in southern Texas.

So far, no arrests have been made.

UPDATE 8:39 PM ET -- We're told Lil' Wayne's concert tonight at the Laredo Entertainment Center in Laredo, TX. has been postponed. The general manager of the venue tells us they decided to cancel the show because Lil' Wayne didn't show and they couldn't get in touch with him or his people.

Que's Day 26 Drama Continues...He Was Like Cancer

Don't say I didn't tell you so, because I did. You need to start listening when Kels speaks. It was probably like 2 weeks ago that I told you Que was no longer apart of Day26! Well now, the rest of the world can catch up!

On Twitter today, Que tweeted:

Say What????? Scrappy On Diamond; Bow Wow Fires Management, and more!

Lil Scrappy is finally talking (if you will) about his relationship with former Crime Mob member, Diamond. During an interview with XXL Magazine, he says:

"That's my best friend, man; I don't have no real friends like that," he revealed in an interview. "[She's] the only one I can talk to before I go to sleep. We don't tell people much about this joint because it's private. We have problems here and there... 'Cause too many men's be looking at her and too many woman's be looking at me and that's a problem. [Laughs] ...We fittin' to do a Mr. and Mrs. Smith package, with a mixtape coming out first then an album. A DVD might come out with the album."

Not to be disrespectful Scrap, but honestly don't nobody care. Kay, Kay Kayyyy




Appearantly Bow Wow isn't too happy with his management team. Via Twitter on Thursday, he vented:

"In one of those 'please dont f*** with me moods' today. Im firing all managers! Im taking the ray allen approach! Im managing myself. Who knows me better than me? I know this game very well...chilling with my aunt ant and @guesswhojus booking studio for the next 2 months...Just got off the phone with -->@realwizkhalifa we bout to do something major! look out for it."

I've known Shad since he was a kid...get it together homey! Your starting to look like an attenion whore seeker. Imjussayin...

During a recent stop at MTV studio's, Trey Songz was asked about this 'D.O.A' "diss" to R. Kelly.

“It wasn’t a beef,” Trey smiled. “It was me telling R. Kelly to take the damn Auto-Tune off his voice, which he did on his album. His album is good.”

Trey either way you look at it, it's a diss!

Diddy Giving Cassie The Boot To Marry Kim?

A few months ago, Diddy said he is afraid to get married, but it looks like somebody has been in his ear! Word is that Diddy may tie the knot in 2010 with on and off again girlfriend, Kim Porter.

"In 2010 it looks like some of us are really trying to grow up and leave certain habits behind. And Sean Puff Combs isn't an exception. The world renowned playboy is said to be cleaning house in a big way! Apparently after three kids, numerous child support issues and a child spawned from outside their union, Diddy is ready to propose to Kim Porter. From what I hear Diddy has purchased a 12 carat diamond engagement ring and has already handed Cassie her walking papers...And I hear there's in even bigger bombshell developing as Puff has [or is} filing for joint custody of his current illegitimate child with Sarah Chapman. My source promises me this information is air tight and won't be denied by the Puffster should be questioned with it."(Gyant Unplugged)

Rihanna Goes Topless For GQ

As much as I don't care for her....let alone her performances, but the girl is bad. Plus, I guess when she takes her top off, does anything else really matter?

Rihanna poses topless in a new cover for GQ Magazine’s January Issue.

From reading the interview online, here are a few excerpts from the interview:

She didn’t graduated from high school
No. I wanted to. I just got really busy.

She does not have herpes
It’s a f*cking scar. On my lip. That’s there every day of my life. At first I was like, Are you serious? First I thought people were gonna definitely know that that’s not…But when I read it, and I see that people just buy into that…Like, the minute they see it, it forms something in their head.

There’s is alot more she probably wants to say about the assault incident but can’t…
I never blamed myself, but I wondered what, what did I do to provoke it?…

….I didn’t call 911. No. I know everybody thinks I did, but it was someone else…It was…



She feels misunderstood
They just don’t understand me. I just think people straight up don’t know who I am; they just know what I look like, they know the idea of me. But—they’ll learn more this time, because now I let my guard down, and I’m more comfortable just being myself. That’s exactly what I want to be. And even on the album, you definitely get a gist of my personality.

Was her photoshoot over the top for L.A. Reid?
At one point L.A. Reid came into the shoot, and he was like, “Rihanna, put some f*cking clothes on!”

How do you ever trust again?
I can trust. I mean, I don't like to stereotype; I believe everybody's an individual. You can't judge someone based on someone else's actions. There are people in the world who will love you and people in the world who will hurt you, and there are people in the world who will do both.

Do you think a man who does something like that can change?
Absolutely. Yeah. Some of them won't change and some of them will—but you know, very few of them change.

If you ask me, it looks like she trying to make up for lack of sales....imjussayin...

Urban Informer Interviews Chris Brown

Kanye West Honored By Entertainment Weekly

Ever since the Taylor Swift incident at the MTV Awards, Kanye West has kept a low profile...until recently. On Wednesday, Ye' took too his blog to respond to Entertainment Weekly honoring his 2004 album, The College Dropout, as Best Album of the Decade by Entertainment Weekly.

"Wow ... This is really flattering..." he wrote. "I've had some ups and downs this year, well actually this decade. Just seeing this cover takes me back to that time of my life. I remember how much pain and love went into this album. No one saw it coming. This project wasn't about me, it was about a time in people's lives where people force opinions on you and you have to make choices for yourself. We loved 50 Cent but we wanted to be the yang. We wanted to wear pink polos and rap about being hurt instead [of] being invincible. There was a core group of people who worked on this album everyday.... Plain Pat, John Monopoly, Don Crawley, Anthony Kilhoffer, Manny Marroquin, John Legend, Devon Harris, Rhymefest, Gee Roberson, Hip Hop, Al Branch, Damon Dash, Gabe Tesoriero, Craig Bauer, GLC, Ol' School Ice Gree, Consequence, B Nice and my mom. I was most inspired by The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill and I listened to that album every day while working on my debut.

"Thank you for this acknowledgment and also for putting [Jay-Z's] The Blueprint on the list also. I loved [Andre 3000's disc of Outkast's] The Love Below and [50 Cent's] Get Rich or Die Trying also. They both equally deserved the number one spot in my eyes but there can only be one number one!!!"

I wonder if they gave Ye' this award so he wouldn't 'Go Off' again....Imjussayin'

Chris Brown Continues To Be Blackballed By Retailers

Even after Friday's vent on Twitter how retailers aren't stocking his cd, Chris Brown has witnessed the hate in person.

Via Twitter, he expressed what happened during his tour stop in Conneticut on December 12th.

"JUST WAS AT WALMART IN wallingford CT,844 north colony.. the didnt even have my album in the back... not on shelves, saw for myself. We talked to the managers and the didnt even know anything. wow!!! but they had alicia keys album ready for release for this tuesday comin. the manager told me that when there are new releases its mandatory to put em on the shelves.. BUT NO SIGN OF #GRAFFITI. BS no disprespect to alicia at all.. just givin an example to whos album is loaded and ready to go next week."

This is really starting to piss me off. These stores who are not stocking his cd, are DEAD wrong. I feel bad for Chris. He is doing the best he can to show that he is sorry and trying to make things better, and these lame ass stores are blackballing him. I don't know if Chris management can do a lawsuit for this, but if they can, they need too. Yall already know I am Team Breezy. The label had sent me his album, but I am going out to buy 3 copies.

The Mother Of Alleged Pleasure P Victim Speaks Out

Earlier this week, Pleasure P did a whole bunch of radio interviews proclaiming that he was innocent in the alleged child molestation case. Now, all of sudden there is a twist in the story..



The Mother Of Alleged victim claims they were trying put her son with her father while she was in prison. The dept of children and family had to go to the house and run everyone's name who lives in the house. So the next day they came and removed her son from the house stating that there was to be no unsupervised contact between Pleasure P and the child and Pleasure couldn't live in the house w/ the child placed with her father. So they were concerned with why the child couldn't live with her father while she was in prison.

When they dug deeper into the why she couldn't have her son live with her father they found out what happened in Pleasure P's past. She was told Pleasure had a charge dealing with molestation but the documents were sealed. She admits she has not seen any documents confirming a molestation case.

She admits she loves Pleasure P and she doesn't want to cause any harm to him or his careers, and she says Pleasure never harmed her child and he loves his charge, but there is something in his past where he cannot be around kids. (Global Grind)

Que Says Goodbye To Dawn & Day26

Bossip Reports: Just a couple of days ago, everything was sweet between Dawn and Que. They tweeted “I miss u and love you.” Well apparently, something happened this week because Que shut down his Que Day 26 twitter page and he is now going under the name Que “on to the next one.” All the details and evidence inside once you pop the top.

Que tweeted this to Dawn in the past couple days:

He also keeps telling people to check in with management’s twitter page for updates on HIM only, not Day 26. He refers to himself in first person and not in terms of a group which leads us to believe he may have left the group. Oddly enough, last month Will from Day 26 tweeted this on his page:

D.C. Settles Out of Court; Beyonce & Kelly Beefing???

We almost got a reunion we've been wanting-the return of Destiny's Child, but this time it would have been in a court room!


According to the Chicago-Sun Times, the group just settled a case with Rickey Allen. The Chicago performer filed suit against the girls group back in 2004, charging that they stole his song, “Cater 2 U.” Specifically at issue was the title of the song and its spelling, which was copyrighted.

Beyonce was expected to testify but did not because the settlement was reached. Allen's attorney tells ABC7 that the lawsuit has been dismissed.

For those who may not be familiar with the "fine" print, Papa Knowles settled out of court.

With that being said, that seems to be the reason of Beyonce and Kelly Rowland's alleged beef.

Apparently, Kelly is furious with PaPa Knowles and blames him for the copyright lawsuit. According to People, Kelly claims that PaPa Knowles has a long history of forcing songwriters to add Beyonce’s name to songs that she didn’t even write, just so she could get publishing royalties. According to a snitch, the BFF’s have been cordial since Kelly dropped PaPa Knowles as her manager, but now there’s tension in the air.

“She and Beyoncé remained cordial at first. But things have gotten tense since Kelly griped that Matthew is the cause of this lawsuit.” (STR8NYC)

So if the Beyonce stans can't see from this that Beyonce does not write all of these songs, then you need to get sit on the short, yellow bus. She is always gets called out! HELLO!!! Stop stealing!
