Naomi Campbell WANTED by NYPD

Cops are hunting for Naomi Campbell after she assaulted her limo driver in Midtown on Tuesday afternoon, police sources said.

Campbell slapped and slugged the 27-year-old driver, then bolted from the black Cadillac Escalade at E. 58th St. and Second Ave. just after 3 p.m.

She was last seen running away from the scene.

"There has been a criminal complaint made out against her. She's obviously aware of it," a police source said. "She will either turn herself in or we'll go out and get her like anybody else."

The driver reported the incident to police, who were canvassing the area.

Campbell's spokesman, Jeff Raymond, cautioned against "a rush to judgment."

"Naomi will cooperate voluntarily, and there is more to the story than meets the eye," Raymond said without elaborating.

It was just the latest tantrum thrown by the temperamental beauty.

In 2008, she pleaded guilty to assaulting a pair of police officers during a fit at Heathrow Airport.

The previous year, she pleaded guilty to tossing a cell phone at her maid in Manhattan and was sentenced to anger management classes and community service.

Mariah responds to drunken speech

Wednesday Night, Mariah gave a very interesting speech accepting her award for Breakthrough Actress for her role in "Precious." First jumping on the director who presented her the award then her very… slow… acceptance.

 

 

Heres Mariah’s response to the whole thing:

"The thing is me and Lee [Daniels] hadn’t seen each other in a long time," Mariah explained. "And then he was presenting my award, so he starts off immediately with inside jokes and it was like, ok, we’ve been sitting there celebrating this whole time, having little splashes. I hadn’t eaten. I pulled up, I didn’t wanna be late so I rushed in and that’s what it was.

"You know, there’s a time for celebration and a time for not, but really, technically it’s kind of like a party atmosphere, so they trick ya," she continued. "No, it was fun. If people don’t understand me and think I’m this girl that just stands by a microphone and sings 'Hero,' then they’re definitely not gonna get me.”

Honestly, I don’t think it was that bad.  Maybe because Im around drunk people all the time but having had a couple drinks, she still said a lot of meaningful words.  We must remember that celebrities are human too. Even the more “spic n span” ones will have a little too much to drink from time to time but she handled it very well.

Rih's Boo-Lovin' Again?

I'm sure most of you have heard by now that Rihanna is back OFF the market. Well, kinda. She's been spotted with LA Dodger Matt Kemp vacationing in Mexico and the hottie also went to Abu Dhabi, for Rihanna’s NYE performance.

How he and Rihanna met is still not clear. But they are rumored to have met backstage when Rihanna performed at Hammerstein Ballroom. Yet, others say they have been dating since he appeared in her newest video, "Hard". If you pay close attention, he is the third soldier in the beginning of the video.

Rihanna stated recently in several interviews before the holidays, that all she really wanted for Christmas was good food and good sex. I can't speak for the food, but I'm almost positive she got the latter with that hottie.

I don't know about ya'll, but I think they make a sexy couple and I am happy for her. Here are some more pics of the couple vacationing:

Mary J punches hubby in club

        Tuesday Night, Dec 22nd, M2 housed the album release party for Mary J Blige. I listened to Mary on Angie Martinez' show (Hot 97) that Monday and she seemed very excited about her rare club appearance.  She even told Angie that they should ride there together. In attendance was Ryan Leslie, Jadakiss, Busta Rhymes - who (funny enough) all came straight from a Power 105 concert to this Hot 97 event.

 

 

        When I arrived around 2:30a, everyone seemed to be leaving. I had to double check my Blackberry (since the time was all it was good for on Tuesday-smh). Come to find out - Mary was no longer in the building and wasn't there for more than a half hour. According to the DJ, Mary and Kendu got into it and Mary publicly punched her husband right in the face. I've heard speculation as to how the fight started but let's be real... Who cares? Lol. She decked him!

        Now let's go back to that relationship double standard I spoke about... is this funny? If so - why? Or are we gonna persecute Mary like we did Chris Brown? Hmmmm... Doubt it

T.I. released from prison

Tuesday morning, Clifford “T.I.” Harris was released from Forrest City penitentiary after serving only 7 months of his 366 day sentence.   The 29 year old rapper’s new address will be a halfway house for the next 3 months.  Residents are able to leave for work and contact with family.  So Christmas came early for Tiny and the kiddies. 

When T.I. official goes home, he will still be under house arrest for another 23 days but I don’t see this stopping Mr. Harris’ hustle.  I predict a welcome back concert in the works. Hell – he may even be at the Grammy's in January (that’s “work” right?). T.I. was nominated for his collaboration with Justin Timberlake, “Dead and Gone” and definitely deserves it. Welcome Home TIP!

Is That So...

Hey Ehuggers,

Once upon a time Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain were a happy little family with daughter Francis Bean. One day in 1994 Kurt killed himself and the family was not that happy anymore. Their lives went on and Courtney made her name as the Front-woman of the band "Hole". Things got a little rocky for Ms. Love. Her behavior was being questioned right along with her wardrobe. Yet no one thought to remove her daughter from her care. It started to become obvious that she had a drug issue and became worst when in September of '05 when Love was finally sentenced to 180 days in a drug treatment Facility for violating probation on three misdemeanor cases. The three misdemeanors were for illegal possession of pain killers, assault and battery and being under the influence of a controlled substance in public. Well, your girl Courtney Love is in the mix of a legal issue again. Well it's not really an issue anymore. The Los Angeles Courts now decides that 3 months before Francis turns 18 that she should be removed from the home of Courtney Love. What sense does it make now? I have no idea! Yet that's the decision that was made and has been kept as private as possible when it comes to "why now?" and "how come?". What we so know is that Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love's daughter is now placed in temporary guardianship of her Grandmother and Aunt. The mother and sister of Cobain.

Is that so....

It's a Boy! The eldest of the Kardashian sisters, Kourtney gave birth to a 7lb,6oz, 19.5 inch baby boy. The 30 year old reality star delivered Mason Dash Disick this past Monday. She first announced her pregnancy in August and confirmed it was a boy in October. Kim was quoted saying in a Seacrest interview that although Kourtney "doesn't like kids she is going to be the most amazing mom". Despite Kim's salty comment there have been plenty of pics of Kourtney baby shopping through out her pregnancy. I don't like kids but I think I'll make a fine mom as well. So I resent that comment for Kourtney. My mother always said you don't have to like to love them! LOL but she's not always too well, anyway congratulations Kourtney and on-again/off-again boyfriend Scott Disick on your baby boy from Ehug.

Till Next Week,

Is That So...

I thought that with the ending of the show John and Kate Plus 8, it would also be the end of their craziness, but ladies and gentleman I was wrong. The cable channel TLC took John to court. According to the network his behavior and appearances for money is not only a breech of contract but also "tasteless" and "cheesy". They were on hand to harshly criticize the one-time reality TV star. Representatives from TLC testified that the reality dad's recent behavior has been "embarrassing." "Photos of Jon Gosselin with scores of bikini-clad women was inconsistent with our image brand of our show," added Edward Sabin, TLC's Chief Operating Officer. Also revealed in court: by the end of Jon and Kate Plus Eight's run, TLC was paying the family $22,500 an episode, not the $75,000 per episode rate Gosselin has been telling the media. I don't know if Gosselin was aware that he violated confidentiality agreements when he chatted on air about his compensation for Jon and Kate Plus Eight. TLC has won its preliminary injunction against the reality dad. A judge ruled that Gosselin must obey the court's order to comply with contractual obligations or risk going to jail.

Is That So.....

Have you seen the most recent ad for Keeping Up With The Kardashians ?! These young ladies have really pushed the envelop and have gone from reality stars to absolutely trying to hard. Too hard! I've never had an issue with the Kardashian sisters, ever. I like their style, and business motivated personalities, but after seeing this ad I'm not sure how I feel about them anymore. Anyone who knows me, knows I give credit where it's due and I am far from a hater. This is tasteless, uncalled for and all around pathetic. It's no secret Kim is obsessed with her body and that poor Khloe has been tryna keep up with her diva of a sister. This ad makes it more than obvious and I'm down for a diva, my mom has been calling me diva since high school. But a diva also knows when they have crossed the line from fierce to tasteless. This is tasteless. I'm not even gonna touch on Kourtney's pregnant self. Anyway they have a new season coming up...that's what we were suppose to get from this "ad". You would have thought there were coming out with a lingerie line or something!

Is That So....

"It's cheaper to keep her" is an old saying I've heard for years when people are discussing divorces. In Nas' case I think it's true. A judge ordered Nas to increase his payments to his soon-to-be ex-wife, Kelis, and their infant son from 40,000 to $51,101 a month on Wednesday. She gets to keep the home which was 13,000 a month, and has already installed a studio. I don't know why, she can't sing. Well that's my opinion and her record sales just about backs me up. She recently signed a $175,000 contract to make new music with Interscope records, although her attorneys argued. At the end of the day she's caking now and tried to cry broke at the hearing. Nas doesn't have to cry broke, unless he starts putting out some music or venture into some kind of business he will definitely be broke. See what we don't know is he owes his current manager up to $700,000 and owes millions to the I R S, and he hasn't put out an album since 2008.

Danger - Pregnant and Committed?

          

              Monica “Danger” Leon known for “smashing the homies” is allegedly pregnant AGAIN.  Monica, from the first season of VH1’s “For the Love of Ray J”, recently gave birth to her first child on October 16 of this year and is said to be expecting already. 

        Her twitter confirmed that she is pregnant with her second child and is due in July. BUT, Monica denies this and says shes has fallen victim to hackers.

         Not sure if Ms. Leon would have been ready for these Irish twins anyway because TMZ reported that she “was taken in on a 5150 psychiatric hold earlier this month after an incident involving her newborn.” 

            Danger has taken a page out of Ms. Spears’ handbook and shaved her head after an argument with her child’s father and later confirmed that she’s suffering with post-partum depression in this video.  So is she ready for another one? I don’t think so.

Celebs Live it Up then Leave out!

For some odd reason the celebrities of America ,who are much more than wealthy, seem to think they are too good to pay a bill here and there....

 

         Dennis Rodman recently went to Berlin, Germany to play in an Exhibition game . The organizers of the event did agree to pay for his stay. I don't think they knew who they were dealing with. They should have made it clear exactly what it was that they were paying for and not paying for, cause they didn't agree to pay his $5,100 bill that he ran up. And what is it that he spent $5,100 on? Alcohol!  That's a lot of Alcohol. Well he didn't drink it by his self. Rodman hosted an after party in his room. Since the organizers didn't make it clear just how much tricking they were doing on Rodman he left the hotel with out paying that lovely bill. No worries, he didn't get far before the Berlin Police tracked him down and pulled his limo over. They hauled him back to the hotel to take care of the matter. Surprisingly, he paid the bill and threw an extra $2,500 to keep the matter from turning legal. I guess Rodman isn't that bad of a guy.

 

   Good ol' Lindsay Lohan thought she was too good to pay for her drinks at The Los Angeles Crown Bar. When brought the bill it was reported she was using profanity (of course) and screaming "I don't pay for drinks! This is ridiculous". After all the Lohan drama she picked up her cell and made a phone call to god knows who and got a credit card info for the bill. Now was that so hard Lindsay? Us regular folk pay our bar bills all the time.

 

   The cast of Gossip Girl all somehow "forgot" to pay there $500 bar tab. Yup, Jessica Szohr, Leighton Meester, Chance Crawford, and Ed Westwick all forgot to pay when leaving Brother Jimmy's in NYC. According to the New York Post, the cast went to a Kings of Leon concert at MSG and then the NYC spot for a little partying in a private room. Playing a frat game called Flip Cup is how they reached this $500 tab that they all "forgot: to pay.

 

Peace and Pay Your Bills!
