P. Diddy Recruits Eminem, 50 Cent For 'Victory'
Don't think P. Diddy is going to celebrate Bad Boy's 10th anniversary this year with just one of his usual soirees filled with his millionaire superstar friends. While the Cristal is sure to flow at some point, P.D. is currently gearing up to release a Bad Boy 10th anniversary CD/DVD on March 9, the seven-year anniversary of the Notorious B.I.G.'s tragic death.
The label is keeping a tight clasp on information about the album, but a source close to the project has revealed one bit of blockbuster information. Diddy is working on a remix of his Biggie-featured track "Victory" for the LP, but this new version will feature even more guests — Bad Boy is in the process of securing vocals from Eminem, 50 Cent and Lloyd Banks for the cut. The DVD portion of the project is said to document Bad Boy's historic rise as a company. The birth of his label isn't the only anniversary Diddy will commemorate in 2004. It's been 20 years since the newest — but most experienced — members of Bad Boy, New Edition, made the jump from the small Warlock Records over to the major MCA and released their self-titled album, which featured the hits "Cool It Now" and "Mr. Telephone Man." New Edition are just about done with their latest LP and in the midst of choosing a leadoff single. Ralph, Johnny, Mike, Ronnie and Ricky are on schedule to have an album on shelves May 11. Before N.E., Bad Boy is slated to put out Carl Thomas' second LP, Let's Talk About It, on March 23 and new album from 8Ball and MJG on April 27. Bad Boy's Da Band haven't announced a release date yet, but the six-person collective is in the studio working on its sophomore LP. Don't be surprised if you hear whispers about a Mario Winans project sometime soon as well — he's working on his debut, and a song with P. Diddy called "I Don't Wanna Know" is already on some radio stations and mixtapes. —Shaheem Reid |
Beyonce Puts Off Second Solo LP To Reunite Destiny's Child
Fans excited about the prospect of a new Beyoncé solo album this year are going to have to wait.
When the Destiny's Child singer recorded her debut, Dangerously in Love, she just couldn't hold back her creative output and recorded 45 songs. There was so much leftover material, she planned on issuing a quick-hit second album early this year. However, a spokesperson at Beyoncé's record label said on Wednesday (January 7) that she's putting aside her solo aspirations to concentrate on the next Destiny's Child album. Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams have set the month of March aside to being recording their fifth studio album. That will give Beyoncé time to sing the national anthem at the Super Bowl and revel in her 2003 accomplishments at next month's Grammy Awards. Williams, meanwhile, is currently starring in "Aida" on Broadway. —Joseph Patel |

Do you all know that lady lied about losing the lottery ticket?
CLEVELAND - A woman who told police she bought and lost a lottery ticket worth $162 million all but admitted Thursday she made it up, saying tearfully: "I wanted to win so bad for my kids and my family. I apologize." AP Photo Reuters Slideshow: $162M Lottery Ticket Turned In Elecia Battle, 40, said she is dropping her lawsuit over the Mega Millions jackpot that was awarded Tuesday to 34-year-old Rebecca Jemison. Battle apologized to her husband, Jemison and her lawyer. "I'm not a bad person. I'm really not," she said. "Everyone has a past." Days after the Dec. 30 drawing, Battle filed a police report saying she lost the winning ticket, possibly when she dropped her purse outside a convenience store. She later sued to block Jemison from collecting the jackpot. Police in suburban South Euclid, where the winning ticket was sold, said Battle will probably be charged with filing a false police report — a misdemeanor punishable by 30 days to six months in prison and a $1,000 fine. "I think what she's saying is what everybody else is inferring — that she's lying," Lt. Kevin Nietert said. The Ohio Lottery said it knew the truth all along. Jemison provided another ticket bought at the same time and place and had a ticket that showed she had played the same numbers in the prior drawing, the lottery said. "We were confident with our decision from the onset to award Rebecca Jemison the $162 million Mega Millions jackpot, and we are pleased that this matter has been resolved," lottery Director Dennis G. Kennedy said. Jemison, of South Euclid, has an unlisted number, and a call to her accountant was not immediately returned. Battle said she wanted to use the money to help her family and recently laid-off Cleveland police officers. "I wanted to win," she said with a shaky voice. "The numbers were so overwhelming. I did buy a ticket and I lost it. I wanted to win so bad for my kids and my family. I apologize." When she was asked directly if she lied, Battle's lawyer, Sheldon Starke, refused to let her answer. Battle has a criminal record that includes assault on a drug store clerk and misuse of another person's credit card. |

Beyonce news
Are wedding bells in Beyonce and Jay Z's future?
Pop beauty Beyonce Knowles would reportedly have to marry rapper Jay Z to keep a promise to her mother. The religious Destiny's Child diva was brought up strictly and promised her mother Tina she would not show affection to a man in public unless she was prepared to marry him. The chart-topping pair very publicly displayed their love for each other during a recent holiday in the south of France and Knowles' family in Houston are busy making plans for the impending nuptials. A family source says, "Beyonce has been very strictly brought up in a very religious family. "She didn't want to show any disrespect to her mother by being seen constantly draped over a succession of men. "Both her parents encouraged her into show business but they knew that a girl singer could get a bad reputation from being seen around with too many men. "She made a vow early on in her career that she would only ever go public on a romance with someone she was totally serious about. She vowed that she would be a one-man woman. "She has always been careful not to be seen in public with a man, but now that her family are assured that she and Jay Z are in love for good, she doesn't need to be so careful." Beyonce's matchmaking attempts rejected Beyonce is eager to help friend Kelly Rowland find Mr. Right, but Rowland is said to have rejected bandmate Beyonce's attempts, even though she's pining for romance. While curvaceous Beyonce is enjoying her romance with rapper Jay Z, the 22-year-old "Dilemna" singer has yet to find herself a serious boyfriend. Kelly says of Beyonce, "She told me about this one guy, and I was like, 'B, I'm gonna sit this one out. You know? I'm just gonna chill.' "I felt like if it's supposed to happen, then it'll happen. God will send me somebody special whenever the timing is right. So I'm just patient." Beyonce's diet slammed Beyonce has been accused of encouraging children to lose weight, after confessing to an unhealthy diet. She told a recent magazine interview she eats just six slices of tomato and four slices of cucumber for lunch - and now experts fear young fans will try to copy her. British Diabetic Associaton expert Dr. Wendy Doyle says, "People in the public eye need to be more responsible. They don't always appreciate the impact they have on young girls. "Children need their calories and nutrition for growth and development." The singer recently confessed she's so conscious of her weight, she takes a food expert everywhere she tours; "I have to. Photos make you fatter and television adds pounds. "I go through agonies to keep my stomach flat." |
How the hell do you survive on 6 slices of tomato and 4 cumber slices for lunch! :eek: I would be dangerous alright. Not dangerously in love but dangerously close to hurting somebody because I'm hungry!!!

Wel the minute she starts to eat normally again she'll gain it all back because of the muscle loss (muscle is the first thing to go when you starve yourself, and as it burns calories much faster than fat, when you lose muscle your metabolism takes a tremendous dip). I'm shocked though. She has enough money to do the whole personal chef thing a la Janet and J. Lo. Why is she taking this route?? |
Omarion Calls B2K Breakup ‘A REAL SAD SITUATION’
NEW YORK — The question surrounding B2K now is, if there's so much love in the air, why did they part ways?
The trio of J-Boog, Raz-B and Lil Fizz have publicly professed that they still have love for estranged frontman Omarion, and on Thursday (January 8) Omarion spoke publicly for the first time and said he felt the same way about his guys. "The fellas know I love them," he said in the "TRL" green room, trying to keep a happy face. "I love them dudes. Those been my boys, my partners in crime for five years." Despite the group's public profession of affection, O said there had been friction in the group for the past three or four months and that there were even times when fights almost broke out. "It wasn't something recent," O explained. "It wasn't an all-out fistfight but it was different things they wanted to do. With the breakup situation, it wasn't something that just sprung up and happened. When we was like, 'The group is over,' it was definitely a series of things. Plus Fizz was doing a solo album, I was getting prepared for mine, Raz was getting prepared for his. So everybody was kinda on their own agenda, trying to find their own self. The breakup wasn't based on anything but us growing up and wanting to go in our own direction." According to the other three members of B2K, however, the split was over money. Boog, Raz and Fizz have said they were financially "raped" and claim they never received payment for their stints on the successful Scream tour series. Omarion, however, disputed that. "They've been basically putting it out in the public that it was a management issue [why we broke up]. That it was money stolen from us and all these false allegations. I'm a businessman. Me, my mother and my attorney, we went up to [our management and production company] T.U.G to check the finances, and there was not one penny stolen from us." He said people must be in his friends' ears and he urged them to go over the books themselves. Omarion said he decided to stick with B2K manager Chris Stokes because he's been a father figure and hadn't committed any wrongdoing. "It really hurts," the singer continued. "It's hard to keep my spirits up and keep going because I'm by myself now. I have to basically hold my own, which I'm not used to." The last time O saw or spoke to his former bandmates, he said, was right before 2004 started. They had to perform two shows at the DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C., and O was physically not up to the task. He had to be carted off to the hospital. "After the second show I was so fatigued," the braided singer said. "It was two shows, I wasn't ready for that. Two hours after the show we went to the hospital. I had to get from D.C. to L.A. because they thought they would have to do some major procedures. They checked everything and I'm all good." In the few days it took for Omarion to heal, the rest of the tour was postponed and the group's breakup was announced. "After I got back home, we was trying to get in touch with them but numbers were changed. I didn't receive as much as a call when I was in the hospital," O said. "That kind of reassured me like, 'Oh, it's all over.' " As for whether B2K can be salvaged, O replied, "I don't think so, but at this point I don't even know. I haven't talked to them. It's a real sad situation. I apologize to all my fans. It's something right now that's being blown so far out of proportion, [we have to do] more than just sit down and talk as men. The situation is way bigger than what it could have been." A few minutes later he felt more optimistic and suggested, "Over time, wounds will heal." O won't have much time to let the melancholy linger. B2K's movie, "You Got Served," opens in theaters January 30, and Omarion's solo album is slated for March. Among the people he wants to work with are R. Kelly, the Neptunes and Missy Elliott. —Shaheem Reid |

NAACP Awards
2 surprises join race for NAACP awards
Diverse choices for 2004 prizes By Greg Braxton Tribune Newspapers: Los Angeles Times Published January 8 2004 The NAACP Image Awards typically honor the best in African-American film, TV, music and literature, but nominations for the 2004 awards came with a diversity-tinged surprise on Wednesday, with honors for two foreign films centered on non-black cultures, and snubs of several popular black shows. "Whale Rider" and "Bend It Like Beckham," hits with international and American audiences, were nominated for motion picture, and "Whale Rider" star Keisha Castle-Hughes was nominated for film actress. "Whale Rider" is set in a Maori community of New Zealand, while England-set "Bend It Like Beckham" focuses on a young Indian woman who idolizes England's premier soccer star, David Beckham. Other motion-picture nominees include "Bad Boys II," "Deliver Us From Eva," and "The Fighting Temptations." "Bringing Down the House," one of last year's most popular comedies with crossover audiences, was not nominated, although its star, Queen Latifah, was nominated for film actress. Movie actor nominees are Cuba Gooding Jr. ("Radio"); Denzel Washington ("Out of Time"); Laurence Fishburne ("The Matrix Revolutions"); Samuel L. Jackson ("S.W.A.T"); and Will Smith ("Bad Boys II"). Joining Castle-Hughes and Latifah in the film-actress category are Beyonce Knowles ("The Fighting Temptations"), Gabrielle Union ("Deliver Us From Eva") and Halle Berry ("Gothika"). The major television categories were marked by the exclusion of the WB network, which features comedies starring Steve Harvey, Anthony Anderson and Holly Robinson Peete, and snubs of UPN's "All of Us," from executive producers Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, and "Eve," starring rap star Eve. Nominated for best comedy are "Bernie Mac," "Girlfriends," "Half & Half," "Whoopi" and "My Wife and Kids." Drama nominees are "24," "Boston Public," "CSI: Miami," "Soul Food" and "The Wire." |
