Kelis Files Financial Statements Proving She’s Poor…Kinda
In “I’m poor…by rich people’s standards” news, the big homey Kelis is back at it again, this time she’s filed financial statements in her divorce case to prove that she’s rich poor and needs support to maintain a poor rich lifestyle.
Oh for real EbenGregory…since she can’t sell her milkshakes, she needs some stimulus money huh man?
Yes.
And now…here’s TMZ.com explaining why Kelis needs a stimulus package: Kelis has just filed her financials with the court, making her case to get support and baby expenses from estranged hubby Nas. Kelis says from 11/08 to 4/09, her average monthly income was $21,616. Hardly poor, but way less than what she and Nas were pulling in while she was with him.
Oh for real…she’s really poor.
And now…hear’s more TMZ.com explaining why $22K a month is rich poor: Kelis, who is ready to give birth, has some pretty hefty expenses — $80,831 a month … way more than she says she makes. Kelis says she hasn’t toured in a year and most of her income comes from her concerts. Kelis says she spends $14,861 on her mortgage. Her nanny costs $3,500 a month. She spends $15,000 a month on entertainment, gifts and vacations — not too shabby. And she says it cost $175 to have the “baby rug dry cleaned.” And there’s this … Kelis says she wants to buy “storage to bank the baby’s blood when he is born. The banking is the collection and storage of the stem cells found in the baby’s umbilical cord.” It’s used to treat 70 life-threatening diseases. It all costs $$$.
I see said the blind man. And now…
I’m rich poor but…not for long ice jewelry: The real measure of your wealth is how much you’d be worth if you lost all your money.

COOL PICS: Check Out T-Pain’s New Big A** Chain!
By Kevin L. Clark, Associate Editor June 8, 2009 2:10 pm
If I had money like this, I’d buy a house… invest in some stock. I’d try to see if I could get into the Internet game like those Twitter kids and make something out of myself. But the ultimate success for T-Pain besides being a Grammy Award winner is to be able to stunt on y’all haters by buying stuff like this:
What do YOU think? Should this “Big A** Chain” wearing guy be given an A+ for coolness? Or is he trying too hard to be deemed “successful.” Source:http://theurbandaily.blackplanet.com/music/cool-pics-check-out-t-pains-new-big-a-chain/

DIDDY HAS A PROBLEM AND THAT PROBLEM’S NAME IS BOW WOW
Boston Summer Jam when down a couple days ago and something very odd went down on the stage. When Bow Wow got on the stage, I heard he lost his mind for a few minutes. The rumor is, he got up there and started running his mouth about Ciara. I heard he talked about her quite a lot during the entire show, but shocked everybody. He allegedly said that he wasn’t stressing Ciara like everybody thought he was, because he was sleeping with Cassie. Fam…what the heck?

LIL WAYNE BUYS HOMES FOR BABY MOMS?
Well, it would seem that the truth is coming out and that Lil Wayne indeed has babies coming from both Lauren London and Nivea. I haven't seen anything that is refuting that. But, I am hearing that Wayne is being the ultimate good father. According to one of the morning shows (we don't know which) has reported that Wayne recently purchased new homes for both of his soon to be baby moms. WOW. How funny is that? Like, one baby is going to be luckier, because he mom is Lauren London. LOL. soures: http://allhiphop.com/stories/rumors/default.aspx
Chris Brown -- I'm a Celebrity ...
Posted Jun 16th 2009 5:15AM by TMZ Staff
Chris Brown is secretly knee-deep in a campaign to resurrect his image and his target is a certain group of 12 people who will judge his fate. And guess what -- it's working.We've been talking to people in Brown's world and here's what we know. Brown -- who hired Sitrick and Company, the crisis management firm for which he more than qualifies as a client -- has been calculating every public move he's made over the last 6 weeks. From the NBA final game last Sunday ... to the "I'm-not-a-monster" video.... to the antics with Omarion -- Sitrick and others have tried to make the images of Rihanna's bruised and battered face disappear -- or at least recede into the background.One source says Brown has been told going out clubbing could kill his chances with a jury -- it's just too flip. For the most part, he's obeyed them, although they weren't happy when Brown hit a club with the Kardashian sisters and Bow Wow.Ironically, Rihanna has actually helped Brown by resurrecting her glamorous self and getting on with her life.Short story: We're told the Sitrick and Company game plan is the opposite of what many lawyers would urge -- going underground until the trial. They want Brown out and about, resuming life within limits.Rihanna takes the stand next Monday to kick off Brown's preliminary hearing. Should be interesting.

She also wants $3,500 for the baby nurse after the child's birth, and $20,000 for strollers, cribs and other baby supplies.Kelis says, "My survival is based on [Nas'] will at this time.

Rihanna and former boyfriend Chris Brown are reportedly on the guest list for Game 5 of the NBA finals with the Los Angeles Lakers taking on the Orlando Magic.
Brown was spotted at the game wearing dark sunglasses and black clothing. The Associated Press has confirmed Rihanna is scheduled to make an appearance at the Amway Arena in Orlando.
The two were also present for Game 4 of the finals, but were not seated next to each other.
Brown, 20, pleaded not guilty in April to one count of assault and one count of making criminal threats related to an alleged domestic violence incident involving Rihanna in February. Earlier this week, Rihanna was subpoenaed to testify in Brown's trial by the Los Angeles DA's office.

50 Cent To Drop New Mixtape Next Tuesday
June 12th, 2009 Author: Edwin Ortiz
As a pleasant surprise for his fans, 50 Cent [click to read] plans to drop a full street album next Tuesday (June16) on his website ThisIs50.com, according to MTV. The project’s title is War Angel LP, with an emphasis on “LP.” “Creatively, this is not even a mixtape. That's why I put LP next to it…My core audience will understand it immediately, and it's written specifically for that,” the Queens rapper told MTV. Known for his formidable mixtape work earlier in his career, 50 Cent says War Angel has the potential to be his best mixtape yet. “When you hear it, out of all the material I put on the street, you're gonna say that's the best body of work I put out in the mixtape circuit, period.” Adding Fifty, “The way the mood of music is right now, when they hear what this is, they'll say, “That's what we needed.’” While 50 has spent the last few months jarring with rapper Rick Ross, he explained there will be no shots fired on this new project. “I think if you don't identify when you've won a race, you'll continue to run victory laps until you've exhausted yourself. There's nothing else to win in the Rick Ross situation. There's nothing else to do to that guy from my perspective.” The New York rapper also revealed that another mixtape will come out July 4th, titled Sincerely Southside Part 2, along with another G-Unit mixtape that is currently untitled. His fourth studio album, Before I Self Destruct, is scheduled to drop sometime in September.

Hip Hop's Love Of The Black Card Celebrated Online
June 12th, 2009 Author: Jake Paine
Like a Cadillac Seville in the '70s, a mobile phone in the '80s, or a yacht in the '90s, one of Hip Hop's status symbols this decade has been the American Express Black Card. From Lil Wayne [click to read] and Bow Wow [click to read], to CL Smooth [click to read] and The Clipse [click to read], rappers have championed the high limit, special services luxury card - so much so that Kanye West even deemed it "African American Express." One site, LuxuryPlastic.com [click here] is dedicated to this element of celebrity and pop culture behind the card, which was launched exactly 10 years ago. R. Doty is co-founder of the site dedicated to the premium luxury cards from American Express and Visa. "We were interested in what this whole unachievable status symbol was about," Doty told HipHopDX, in regards to his motivation for starting the site. A sales engineer for a top information systems company, Doty figured out the credit scoring system, and how to obtain an American Express Black Card, without being, as he says, "a super rich guy." The requirements, as stated by AMEX, is spending 250,000 dollars in the course of 12 months, resulting in balances that are paid in full on time. "As we got into [making the site], we realized how big it was in Hip Hop culture," Doty said. Citing everybody from Chamillionaire to Fat Joe to Fabolous to Ali Vegas, the site publishes lyrics and quotes that endorse the luxury cards, ranging from Black Card to Centurion Card to the Red Card. "That's where most of the action [on the site] is," he adds, referring to the Hip Hop components, outside of pop culture icons like Paris Hilton and others. "Hip Hop artists have all the reach and all the scale. When they do something, it's just like how Hip Hop crosses over to Pop, and everybody knows who Kanye West is. When a Hip Hop artist gets ahold of or says something about a Black Card, it piques peoples' interest and curiosity. I definitely think it's been big in helping getting exposure for the card."According to Doty, insider information through LuxuryPlastic.com has included the fact that Kanye West carries both AMX Red and Black cards. The Red cards are used for charitable donations, with no word which charities West directs his points towards. Perks of the card, which were listed by The Clipse throughout their We Got It 4 Cheap: Black Card Era mixtape, include concierge service, no limit spending, and access to exclusive Black Card-holder clubs, including the AMEX Black Card UltraLounge in Scottsdale, Arizona, and the Masareti Quattroporte Centurion Edition car. The card itself, is made out of titanium, affirming its luxury status. For more information on Black Cards and their role in Hip Hop culture, visit LuxuryPlastic.com [click here].
