It looks like Common isn't about to back down from the comments he made about Drake on his The Dreamer, The Believer cut "Sweet". After Drake shot back at him over the weekend at a concert in Vegas, Com went on Sway In The Morning yesterday to confirm that his verse on "Sweet" is in fact about Drake and other artists in his "category". Com says if he wants to battle, the game is on. Archive for September 2009

According to Nielsen Soundscan, Jay-Z‘s latest work ‘The Blueprint 3′ has sold roughly 476,000 copies in the week that ended on Sunday, September 13th.
This easily gives Jay his 11th No.1 on the Billboard 200 chart.
We’re sure his 9/11 tribute concert and live MTV VMAperformance has greatly helped push tons more cd’s.
good work HOVA!

The U.S. Marshalls have found a happy buyer to purchase Bernie Madoff‘s crime nest in Long Island.
U.S. Marshals service says that a contract for the property was signed on Wednesday evening for the 3,000 sq. ft. home at 216 Old Montauk Highway.
Madoff’s beach place in Montauk was for sale at $8.75 milllion which includes four bedrooms, three bathrooms, impressive ocean views, and a two-story fireplace in the great room.
Hopefully the home did sell for the $8.75 million asking price, because the Madoff victims need to squeeze as much money out of the disgraced financier as possible.

If you thought that there was a chance Michael Jackson didn’t leave behind enough money for his mother, Katherine Jackson, or his three children, you were very wrong.
According to court documents released on Thursday in Los Angeles, Michael’s mother Katherine is receiving $86,804 per month from her son’s estate to not only support herself but also her three grandchildren.
The judge approved the payments last month which state that Katherine Jackson has been financial dependent on her son during his life, and that for years now Michael had been paying for all of her living expenses at the Jackson’s family home in Encino, Calif.
Wait….if Michael has been providing for his mother for all these years, what has Michael’s father Joe Jackson been doing to support his family?
Lawyers also estimate that Michael’s total assets exceeds $500 million, and that future business agreements bearing Michael Jackson’s name could generate “tens of millions of dollars.”
Tens of millions, we think “hundreds of millions of dollars” over the next ten years or so.
Hopefully all this money will be carefully secured for his children.

Say it isn’t so!
According to several media outlets, Kelis and her ex-husband, Nas, were seen out together several times this week in NYC.
Sources say that Nas was celebrating his birthday the other night at Marquee in NY, and apparently Kelis was also in the building celebrating with the star.
Russel Simmons also twitted that he spotted the pair with their new baby son Knight at Supermodel Kara Young’s charity event in the city.
So does this mean the pair are looking to reconcile? This could probably save Nas about $55k a month in child support and other expenses he was ordered to pay his ex.
We thought Kelis called him out for cheating before they divorced?

Check out hot mommy Gwen Stefani on the new issue of Glamour magazine.
For the October issue, Gwen talks about some of her best buys for $40 and under, while also discussing her fashion sense and her hubby Gavin Rosedale.
Stefani on Fashion:
“It all comes from the same place. I remember back when No Doubt was just starting out: We didn’t have a record out, and I was in school. I would spend my time daydreaming about what I was going to make for my costumes. That’s something I’ve always done. As soon as I knew we had a show, I’d be off to the fabric store. And I’d be really excited. It’s just something I’ve always, always done.”
On Gavin’s daddy skills:
“I always thought he’d be a good dad. And he has basically lived up to that and beyond, beyond. He’s very, very passionate, and he’s very intense. He’s made to be a dad. I’m very lucky.”
