That's a screenshot of Pharrell and Mos Def's wife from the Drop It Like It's hot video.

I don't see what the controversy is with Oprah not going to these funerals. Some people just don't do funerals. I can totally understand. It doesn't mean that she has a problem with the guy or his family or she had some weird surgery.

Soror, thanks for clearing that up. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.

I totally agree. There's no rule that says if a pioneering African American dies that other African Americans who have made strides in that field have to attend their funeral. Besides, you can pay respects without attending the funeral.

DITTO!! And what if Oprah had gone to these funerals and just fell all out crying and sobbing and whatnot as some of us tend to do at funerals? THEN the media would have been talking about how "emotionally unstable" Oprah was at the funeral.

Beckford Slaps Diddy with $5 Million Lawsuit

Diddy (a.k.a. Sean 'Puffy' Combs) has been slapped with a $5 million breach of contract and copyright infringement lawsuit by model Tyson Beckford. Beckford, formerly the face of Combs's Sean John clothing line, alleges that once his contract ran out, the star failed to renew it, but continued to use his image and likeness to advertize the line without permission. Beckford's attorney, Kenneth Montgomery, tells AllHipHop.com, "What we have here is a blatant case of wrong doing on behalf of Mr. Combs and Sean John. They willfully continued to use Mr. Beckford's image without permission because he become known as the face of Sean John." According to Montgomery, Beckford made several attempts to settle the matter before he pursued legal action. Montgomery adds, "My client reached out to Mr. Combs several times before coming to my firm. His manager Beth Ann Hardison also contacted him to seek a resolution. They were not heard." A trial date is set for February 6th at the Southern District Court of New York.

I have not found anything to support this. I think this is a hoax just like last week there was one about Eric B.
