Foxy’s Back+You Aint Got To Lie Akon+A Bigga Newlywed Update

Wenn
Foxy Brown will be releasing her fourth studio album on May 13th, fresh off her release from prison tomorrow (April 18th), after serving an eight month sentence at Rikers Island Correctional Facility. She’s also set to share her initial thoughts and feelings on being released in an exclusive limited edition video interview produced by powerhouse DVD magazine On The Grind. Sources also reveal to us that she will immediately begin recording tracks for the soundtrack to the film “The Vapors” starring Cuba Gooding, Evan Ross and Keke Palmer, as well as recording her next album which will show a different side of Foxy as she chronicles her time away.
Foxy’s reps say she’s a changed woman. And I do hope it’s the case. The crazy chick role has been played for way too long by way too many chicks. Hopefully we’re about to do better.

TheSmokingGun.com has put Akon’s lying ass on blast. First his age, now his street cred. Ever since dude hit the scene he’s been talking about his million and one arrests and infinity amounts of jail time he was facing and so on and so on. Turns out, most of that ish (almost all really) was made up. Surprise surprise. Universal is still playing the old “lets make up the street cred to sell records” game. They really need to stop. Here’s a snippet of what TSG found out:
While the performer’s rap sheet does include a half-dozen arrests, Akon has only been convicted of one felony, for gun possession. That 1998 New Jersey case ended with a guilty plea, for which the singer was sentenced to three years probation. Another 1998 bust, this one in suburban Atlanta, has been seized upon by Akon and transformed into the big case that purportedly sent him to prison (thanks to his snitching cohorts) for three fight-filled years. In reality, Akon was arrested for possession of a single stolen BMW and held in the DeKalb County jail for several months before prosecutors dropped all charges against him.
So there was no conviction. There was no prison term between 1999 and 2002. And he was never “facing 75 years,” as the singer claimed in one videotaped interview.
Peep the full extra thorough investigation here. Womp womp.
People.com has the scoop on Beyonce and Jay-Z’s extra cuddly action while they were in L.A. this week doing parties and dinners. Too cute.
The Randomness:
- Anthony Anderson has moved on from K-Ville and is now starring in Law & Order. His premiere episode kicks off April 23rd. He’s also been spotted around NY’s Soho area several times scouting out residences. Looks like he’s in it for the long haul.
- Boris Kodjoe is set to star in Cat On A Hot Tin Roof on Broadway until May 4th. He started this past Tuesday.
- It’s true. Jill Scott (along with Gabby Union) is indeed taking it all off in the upcoming issue of Allure mag. But it’s all for a good cause.

Finally! We've got a few pics showing glimpses of Halle Berry's and Gabriel Aubrey's Baby Nahla. No tabloid money for these folks...they're showing off their baby old school style.

Why would Foxy’s release from prison be “glorified” with a new album…”I got a hot new album. What, yeah, I just left the pen, but, buy my album kids”. That’s horrible. I’m not saying she’s not rehabilitated and shouldn’t be allowed back into society, but, common black people. Really? Seriously?

On Apr 17, 2008 at 3:07 pm | Reply | QuoteOh, please let the “change” include burying the Fashion Fair Fuschia and black liner once and for all, and snatching off the over-combed wigs. That would be GLORIOUS, Fox Boogie(Uh!). I like her music, honestly. It’s better than anything Kim has done since her own first album (which is still by far one of the best by a female MC)…although I know that’s not saying much. And why shouldn’t she capitalize on coming out of jail. Everybody else is doing it or some other cheap schtick to keep their career on of life support.(Like, Kelly, who cares about your new “B” cups? Sad promotion for a “re-release” album). Tip is even about to cap on his sentence BEFORE he goes [back] in. He has permission to spend a year developing a whole new fan base of young people with a “stay in school” mantra. All he needs is a Nas-esque “I know I can” on his next album, and even the parents will be buying him for the kids. How ya like dem apples?

Rapper Foxy Brown is calling on her fans to give her a rapturous greeting when she leaves New York’s Riker’s Island Prison on Friday.
The star, whose real name is Inga Marchand, has served eight months of a 12-month sentence for violating her probation by manhandling two manicurists.
She will be set free this week and wants fans waving banners and wearing Foxy Brown T-shirts to be waiting for her in the parking lot of the notorious correctional facility.
Marchand plans to capture the scenes on film, to use in her forthcoming reality VH1 TV show, which will show her adjusting to life as a free woman.
She also has a new album, Brooklyn’s Don Diva, due for release on May 13.
Her manager Chaz Williams says, “She’s going to get on top of her career again”.
People that matter dont BEG their fans to come out support them…LOL…

On Apr 17, 2008 at 4:13 pm | Reply | QuoteAre Beyonce and Jay-Z REALLY married? It has never been confirmed. I want to get excited, but all I can find is “he said, she said” from people who supposedly attended and about a dozen suspicious pictures of attendees and flowers which could be for…an engagement party or birthday party or other social celebration. Speaking of, am I the only one that think it’s odd that there was no engagement (that we know of) and that they skipped straight to a wedding? The Knowles’ arent’ the kind to shy away from publicity. Has anyone seen actual wedding photos? A dress? None have even been sold to the tabloids. People had a cover story, but even those photos were the same moldy photos I’d seen everywhere else. Until I get the official word from Beyonce’s or Jay-Z’s certified “people” (or Beyonce’s dad, he’ll do) that a wedding (not a spiritual union/shotgun wedding) took place, I’m reserving my marriage well-wishes. I will, however, give my support and “hurray” to two people who seem to be in love though. That’s always awesome.

Should a woman, with good sense, marry a man just because he’s attractive. That doesn’t seem like a very strong foundation upon which to build a relationship. Jay and Beyonce are a powerful, seemingly happy couple, and I wish them the best.

On Apr 18, 2008 at 12:24 pm | Reply | QuoteThat’s just the thing, JustNikki, I feel as if SOME celebs have, but for Beyonce and Jay-Z, two of THE BIGGEST stars around, I expected more. We’ve heard Mary J. say “He did the right thing” (or something to that effect); and Russel Simmons made a congratulatory comment (although he did not attend). Has anyone (a credible someone, not an unidentified “insider”) who actually attended to say that there was a wedding, it was beautiful, etc., and not make carefully crafted, vague statements like “he did the right thing.” That could be anything. I think that what we have so far amounts to hearsay upon hearsay: this “insider” heard from this “insider” that there was a wedding. Some other “insider” said that a ring was spotted on Beyonce’s finger, etc…I don’t buy it. I understand wanting a small, private ceremony without all of the hype (which I’m sure is tough for a celeb to get), but 4/4 was 2 weeks ago. For the fans at least, can the couple; the family; (I’ll even take Mr. or Mrs. Knowles or even Kelly or Michelle) please confirm this “marriage?” Until then, the event under the big white tent was just another private party. Maybe they are planning a big event where they will reveal everything and start wearing their rings in public?? or at least acknowledging that they are married??
