According to police, the Brooklyn bred rapper became involved in a disturbance at the Queen Beauty Supply Store last night.Police said that Brown was sampling beauty products in a bathroom of the shop, when a store employee told her it was closing time. According to reports, Brown became irate and threw hair glue at the employee, a man named Hayssamn Ghoneim. Ghoneim called 911 during the fracas, when Brown allegedly spit on him. When an officer responded to the 911 call and found Brown still in the shopping plaza, he attempted to bring her back to the store to address the issue, but Brown allegedly refused. According to the police report, when the officer attempted physically escort back to the store Brown by placing his hand on her arm, she allegedly swatted his hand away and resisted. The officer said Brown resisted so much, he had to "use a takedown maneuver to gain control" of the rapper [I wish I was there to see - - Fresh].

McMissile Culprit's Stay In Jail Extended Mississippi Has Warrant For Cup-Throwing Woman POSTED: 11:17 am EST February 18, 2007 UPDATED: 6:15 pm EST February 21, 2007 STAFFORD, Va. -- A woman set for release after her conviction for throwing a cup of ice into another car in Stafford County will have to stay in jail until an outstanding warrant in Mississippi is cleared, News4's Chris Gordon reported. Authorities learned about the outstanding warrant on charges of writing bad checks on Wednesday after a judge told 25-year-old Jessica Hall of Jacksonville, N.C., that the two months she has been in jail is enough. The judge told her she would be on probation and not have to serve a recommended two-year sentence, said Gordon, who was in the courtroom. |

Sorority Evictions Raise Issue of Bias By SAM DILLON The New York Times (Feb. 24) - When a psychology professor at DePauw University here surveyed students, they described one sorority as a group of "daddy's little princesses" and another as "offbeat hippies." The sisters of Delta Zeta were seen as "socially awkward." Worried that a negative stereotype of the sorority was contributing to a decline in membership that had left its Greek-columned house here half empty, Delta Zeta's national officers interviewed 35 DePauw members in November, quizzing them about their dedication to recruitment. They judged 23 of the women insufficiently committed and later told them to vacate the sorority house. The 23 members included every woman who was overweight. They also included the only black, Korean and Vietnamese members. The dozen students allowed to stay were slender and popular with fraternity men -- conventionally pretty women the sorority hoped could attract new recruits. Six of the 12 were so infuriated they quit. "Virtually everyone who didn't fit a certain sorority member archetype was told to leave," said Kate Holloway, a senior who withdrew from the chapter during its reorganization. "I sensed the disrespect with which this was to be carried out and got fed up," Ms. Holloway added. "I didn't have room in my life for these women to come in and tell my sisters of three years that they weren't needed." Ms. Holloway is not the only angry one. The reorganization has left a messy aftermath of recrimination and tears on this rural campus of 2,400 students, 50 miles southwest of Indianapolis. The mass eviction battered the self-esteem of many of the former sorority members, and some withdrew from classes in depression. There have been student protests, outraged letters from alumni and parents, and a faculty petition calling the sorority's action unethical. DePauw's president, Robert G. Bottoms, issued a two-page letter of reprimand to the sorority. In an interview in his office, Dr. Bottoms said he had been stunned by the sorority's insensitivity. "I had no hint they were going to disrupt the chapter with a membership reduction of this proportion in the middle of the year," he said. "It's been very upsetting." The president of Delta Zeta, which has its headquarters in Oxford, Ohio, and its other national officers declined to be interviewed. Responding by e-mail to questions, Cynthia Winslow Menges, the executive director, said the sorority had not evicted the 23 women, even though the national officers sent those women form letters that said: "The membership review team has recommended you for alumna status. Chapter members receiving alumnae status should plan to relocate from the chapter house no later than Jan. 29, 2007." Ms. Menges asserted that the women themselves had, in effect, made their own decisions to leave by demonstrating a lack of commitment to meet recruitment goals. The sorority paid each woman who left $300 to cover the difference between sorority and campus housing. The sorority "is saddened that the isolated incident at DePauw has been mischaracterized," Ms. Menges wrote.

This is not the first time that the DePauw chapter of Delta Zeta has stirred controversy. In 1982, it attracted national attention when a black student was not allowed to join, provoking accusations of racial discrimination. Earlier this month, an Alabama lawyer and several other DePauw alumni who graduated in 1970 described in a letter to The DePauw, the student newspaper, how Delta Zeta's national leadership had tried unsuccessfully to block a young woman with a black father and a white mother from joining its DePauw chapter in 1967. Despite those incidents, the chapter appears to have been home to a diverse community over the years, partly because it has attracted brainy women, including many science and math majors, as well as talented disabled women, without focusing as exclusively as some sororities on potential recruits' sex appeal, former sorority members said. "I had a sister I could go to a bar with if I had boy problems," said Erin Swisshelm, a junior biochemistry major who withdrew from the sorority in October. "I had a sister I could talk about religion with. I had a sister I could be nerdy about science with. That's why I liked Delta Zeta, because I had all these amazing women around me." But over the years DePauw students had attached a negative stereotype to the chapter, as evidenced by the survey that Pam Propsom, a psychology professor, conducts each year in her class. That image had hurt recruitment, and the national officers had repeatedly warned the chapter that unless its membership increased, the chapter could close. At the start of the fall term the national office was especially determined to raise recruitment because 2009 is the 100th anniversary of the DePauw chapter's founding. In September, Ms. Menges and Kathi Heatherly, a national vice president of the sorority, visited the chapter to announce a reorganization plan they said would include an interview with each woman about her commitment. The women were urged to look their best for the interviews. The tone left four women so unsettled that they withdrew from the chapter almost immediately. Robin Lamkin, a junior who is an editor at The DePauw and was one of the 23 women evicted from the house, said many of her sisters bought new outfits and modeled them for each other before the interviews. Many women declared their willingness to recruit diligently, Ms. Lamkin said.

Think AgainCo-Defendants of Padilla Are Seeking to Split CasesA few days after the interviews, national representatives took over the house to hold a recruiting event. They asked most members to stay upstairs in their rooms. To welcome freshmen downstairs, they assembled a meet-and-greet team that included several of the women eventually asked to stay in the sorority, along with some slender women invited from the sorority's chapter at Indiana University, Ms. Holloway said. "They had these unassuming freshman girls downstairs with these plastic women from Indiana University, and 25 of my sisters hiding upstairs," she said. "It was so fake, so completely dehumanized. I said, 'This calls for a little joke.' " Ms. Holloway put on a wig and some John Lennon rose-colored glasses, burst through the front door during the recruitment event, and skipped around singing "Ooooh! Delta Zeta!" and other chants. The face of one of the national representatives, she recalled, "was like I'd run over her puppy with my car." The national representatives announced their decisions in the form letters, delivered on Dec. 2, which said that Delta Zeta intended to increase membership to 95 by the 2009 anniversary, and that it would recruit using a "core group of women." Elizabeth Haneline, a senior a computer science major who was among those evicted, returned to the house from campus that afternoon and found some women in tears. Even the chapter's very active president had been kicked out, Ms. Haneline said, while "other women who had done almost nothing for the chapter were asked to stay." Ms. Swisshelm said she overheard one woman seek to reassure a friend: "I think you're plenty pretty, no matter what nationals say," the woman said. Six of the 12 women who were asked to stay left the sorority, including Joanna Kieschnick, a sophomore majoring in English literature. "They said, 'You're not good enough' to so many people who have put their heart and soul into this chapter that I can't stay," she said. Ms. Haneline, who found articles about Delta Zeta in the DePauw library about past episodes of discrimination, said, "The Greek system hasn't changed at all, but instead of racism, it's image now." In the months since, Cynthia Babington, DePauw's dean of students, has fielded angry calls from parents, she said. Robert Hershberger, chairman of the modern languages department, circulated the faculty petition; 55 professors signed it. "We were especially troubled that the women they expelled were less about image and more about academic achievement and social service," Dr. Hershberger said. During rush activities this month, 11 first-year students accepted invitations to join Delta Zeta, but only three have since sought membership. On Feb. 2, Rachel Pappas, a junior who is the chapter's former secretary, printed 200 posters calling on students to gather that afternoon at the student union. About 50 students showed up and heard Ms. Pappas say the sorority's national leaders had misrepresented the truth when they asserted they had evicted women for lack of commitment. "The injustice of the lies," she said, "is contemptible." Copyright © 2007 The New York Times Company |

A certain veteran R&B crooner is bragging to friends about his recent hookup with a popular television star more than half his age.

Kodjoe is married to Actress Nicole Ari Parker. She was nowhere to be found. She recently gave birth to their second child.

In one scene that was too hot for the video, he performed water sports on Kim, ala R Kelly. Against the advice of her drug counselors, Whitney spent the weekend in Las Vegas with Ray J. She appeared agitated and pushed him around all night. Whitney needs a man, not someone looking for publicity. As for hubby Bobby Brown, he was spotting making out with a mystery woman in California. This Sunday will be one of the most diverse Oscar nights in history with Dreamgirls looking at more gold. Both Jennifer Hudson and Eddie Murphy were nominated for the roles that have been winning them awards all season.

Usher appears happy with Foster, and word has it he wants to marry her. Eddie Murphy and Mel B! Murphy continues to claim her baby isn’t his. Mel B is six months pregnant, and she looks terrible. The baby and stress are taking a toll on her. Murphy wants a DNA test to determine if he is the daddy. Last year, Murphy was dating the former Spice Girl. When he found out she was pregnant, he dumped her. If Murphy is the daddy, Mel B won’t have to worry about looking bad because ol’ girl is going to get paid! Nicole Murphy, Eddie’s ex-wife, has weighed in on the situation. Nicole was married to Eddie for 13 years, and she gave him five children. Nicole says the Mel B situation is strange.

Beyonce has made history as the first female singer to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit edition, but a lot of readers are not happy about it.

The stylist claims she is being stiffed out of money for work she did on Jamie for the promo leg of Miami Vice and The BET Awards. Get ready for the Milli Vanilli movie. In 1990, the German duo took the music world by storm with their smash Girl You Know It’s True. They went on to win a Grammy award for best new artist. Then the truth came out: Rob and Fabrice were fake. They couldn’t sing a lick. Studio singers did the singing on the Milli Vanilli songs. In 1998, Rob Pilates died of a drug overdose. Fabrice is still doing behind the scenes work in the music industry. A movie is being planned based on this real life music scandal. Singer Jill Scott will be teaming up with Director Tyler Perry for his next two movies: Why Did I Get Married and Jazzman Blues. I had a chance to talk to Tyler Perry last week. He says starting next year he’ll be releasing two movies a year. He also said “Madea” will be back in a couple of years. Perry’s latest film, Daddy’s Little Girls, did not feature his popular “Madea” character, and the box office numbers fell short of expectations. Daddy’s Little Girls is an excellent movie with an all-star cast: Gabrielle Union, Idris Elba, Louis Gossett, Jr., Tracee Ellis Ross and Tasha Smith. So far at press time, the movie has taken in close to $20 million at the box office. Perry’s last film with his “Madea” character, Madea’s Family Reunion, took in $30 million its first weekend. American Idol Judge Paula Abdul is going on the offensive. She’s tired of people thinking she’s drunk or high while on the show. Abdul, 44, says she’s never been drunk nor does she take illegal drugs. At times, she is whacked out of her mind. Maybe it’s prescription drugs. Diana Ross would like her daughter Tracee Ellis Ross to portray the Legendary Entertainer Lena Horne on the big screen. Ross is best known for her Oscar nominated performance as Billie Holiday, and she feels her daughter would be the perfect choice to play Lena Horne. Tracy Morgan has pleaded guilty to a recent drunk driving charge. Morgan was arrested last year for driving under the influence. His license has been suspended for six months. He will also have to pay a $1,000 fine and enter an alcohol treatment program. Queen Latifah will be producing a show for BET and VH1 called Wifey. The show will be about high powered women in the world of Hip Hop. Latifah’s HBO movie, Life Support, debuts on March 10th. Latifah is playing an HIV positive woman who dedicates her life to helping others. Jamie Foxx and Evan Ross co-star. Toni Braxton has reached a settlement with her former manager, Barry Hankerson. Braxton will have to repay him $375 thousand to get out a recording contract with Hankerson’s label. Hankerson, who used to be married to Gladys Knight, says he is glad to be rid of Braxton. He claims her husband was always interfering with her business deals, and that’s why her last albums have been flops. Braxton is married to Kerri Lewis of Mint Condition. Over the weekend, Braxton performed at the NBA All-Star Game, and had a lot fans upset with her mumbling. It seems as though she no longer sings. She just mumbles when she performs. Producer/Director Lee Daniels is hard at work with Singer Mariah Carey. They are currently filming the movie Tennessee. Carey will play a waitress. Martin Lawrence is not making fans during the promo tour of his new movie Wild Hogs. Sources say his demands are outrageous, and he travels with a huge entourage. The other stars of the movie, John Travolta, Tim Allen and William H. Macy, just laugh in amusement at Lawrence’s star treatment. Wild Hogs opens in theatres on March 2nd. The strain is beginning to show in the relationship between Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri. Ever since her album flopped, Janet has not been happy. Dupri is gearing up for his new job as the head of Island/Def Jam, but can he salvage his relationship with Janet? At a recent party, Janet appeared agitated and annoyed at a party hosted by Dupri. Cancel that Michael Jackson order on American Idol. It appears the King of Pop will not be making a surprise appearance on the show, but producers are promising a major surprise this season. It was rumored that Jackson would be given a special Idol week and a chance to mentor the Idol hopefuls. Scratch out Fantasia coming to Broadway. Oprah Winfrey wanted Fantasia to join her Broadway musical, and give the show a much needed shot in the arm. But, Fantasia will not be joining the show. The show has seen a slump in ticket sales since Tony Winner La Chanze left the show. La Chanze played “Miss Celie.” La Chanze’s role will now go to her understudy Kenita Miller. Jennifer Hudson has made history as the first African American singer to grace the cover of Vogue magazine. Last week, I listed other notable African American women, including Oprah Winfrey, Halle Berry and Beverly Williams. Another famous model who graced the cover was Peggy Dilliard Toone. A special thanks to our readers for pointing that out. When are black celebrities going to learn it’s not cool to support racist, over-hyped celebrities such as Paris Hilton? This no talent media queen is known for her use of the N-Word and the F-Word, but every week there is a different black celebrity hugging her up. Can they please stop giving this girl a free pass? She doesn’t like you! Rocker Bono is getting honored at this year’s NAACP Image Awards. The front man for the Rock Band U2 will be receiving The Chairman’s Award for his humanitarian efforts involving AIDS in Africa. The awards show is set for Friday, March 2nd on Fox.
