Bow Wow's Mom's Store Seized by State Dept. of Revenue

It has been confirmed that Taste boutique in Atlantic Station was seized by the state department of revenue for non-payment of state taxes.

Thanks for all the positive energy."

RiRi's Looking Fab in NYC

Rihanna performed in NYC at Madison Square Garden last night for her "Last Girl on Earth" tour. Then she stepped out looking fab for her big afterparty at Greenhouse. She rocked a black sheer and lace dress, with a gold chain and a pair of basic black Louboutin pumps. I like this classy yet sexy look on RiRi.

Solange Does Vintage

Solange Knowles is geting her vintage on in these images with her son, Daniel. She looks so natural and earthy. I can't believe how big Daniel is! He's turning 6 in October. He looks like a kid who is full of personality. Cute!

Chippy D's Deadly Weapon Assault Charges

Montana Fishburne’s story just keeps getting more interesting, but worst. According to TMZ, the new porn star has a criminal rap sheet that includes assault with a deadly weapon! Yikes! Where were her parents when all this was going down?

Montana was arrested last February after allegedly barging into the alleged victim’s home (the complaint does not give her name), forcing her into the bathroom and beating the crap out of her. We’re told the victim had “significant injuries.”
The L.A. City Attorney’s Office has charged Fishburne with battery, and will be adding charges of false imprisonment and assault with a deadly weapon.
Montana, who’s being repped by the effervescent Shawn Chapman Holley, has pled not guilty and the case is pending.
Fishburne’s boyfriend, Jerome Greene, was also charged in the attack against his ex-girlfriend but already pled no contest to domestic battery.

In other Chippy D news, she sat down with ETalk (and apparently CNN as well) to discuss her reason for getting into porn, plans for the future and when she started exploring sex. SMH.

Kanye Calls Nicki Minaj "2nd Scariest Rapper"

Kanye West not only debuted his new song "See Me Now" when he talked to Angie Martinez on Hot97 yesterday. He also made some very bold statements about Nicki Minaj (would we expect anything else?) Kanye says he thinks Nicki is the 2nd scariest rapper in the industry (to Eminem) and that she has the potential to be the 2nd greatest to Em as well. Wowzer. Do we agree? Check out the audio of the statements:

Bow Wow and Angela Simmons are Back On!

It's definitely been on and off for rapper Bow Wow and reality TV (and daughter of Rev Run) Angela Simmons. They dated a while back and were spotted together at T.I. and Tiny's wedding. Perhaps love was truly in the air cause it seems that Angela and Bow Wow are back together. You see, Bow Wow was in D.C. this morning to promote his movie "Lottery Ticket" and he brought Angela along to WPGC's Big Tigger Morning Show. The show's co-host Danella then reported once Bow Wow left the studio that the two are indeed back on. Wonder if it'll work out for them this time!

Paris Hilson Sued for Wearing Someone Else's Hair

*le sigh* I remember hearing Paris Hilton say, more than one, that she's suuuuucccchhhh a business person. Well, how's this for business, Paris was sued yesterday because a company that manufactures hair extensions claimed the 29-year-old socialite breached her contract to wear and promote their product when she sported the fake locks of a competitor in 2008. Hairtech International Inc. is seeking $35 million in damages — 10 times what she was apparently paid under the contract. The fraud and breach-of-contract suit cites the heiress’ partying as contrary to Hairtech’s marketing campaign.
The filing also claims Hilton missed a launch party for the hair extension line because she was serving a stint in jail in 2007. Hilton served 23 days in 2007 after she was caught driving twice on a suspended license while on probation for reckless driving. The filing states the company’s lost $6.6 million on the launch party alone, although a jury or judge will have to decide whether Hilton owes any money if the case goes to trial.
Oh dear. I don't even have words.

Kanye West stopped by Angie Martinez on Hot97 today and dropped a jewel on the world. The track is called "See Me Now" and it features Beyonce and Charlie Wilson.
