Aubrey O'Day. You look a mess. Calling Lil Kim's plastic surgeon was not a good look. Neither is your trying to stay relevant. It does give us a few laughs and shivers though.

So Ricky Romance hit up the Wendy Williams show today and had some interesting backtracking things to say about this whole Chris Stokes situation:
WTF is REALLY going on here? Aside from me falling out at Wendy’s sarcastic ass remarks I’ve come to love, I swear I had a migraine after listening to this ish. Now the same dude who was pissy Raz B let Stokes intimidate him into backing out of his story…is actually doing the same thing himself. He tells Wendy that Chris never touched him and that stuff he talked about didn’t really happen like that. Ricky also says was wrong for coming out with the story the way he did and he regrets it all. He just wants everything to blow over and for the love to “continue”. *blank stare* I’m done.
The Randomness:
1. Rumors are rampant that Jay is about partner up with Apple for a brand new music format distribution deal. Supposedly it’s going to be his new daytime gig.

TMZ caught these fools on camera for a convenient photo/video op when they were leaving the restaurant together. Raz was talking about “We love each other man!” WTF material indeed.
Meanwhile…another youngin’ came forward about Chris Stokes’ pedophilic ways. Newbistar reports that someone wrote in explaining what Chris did to him when he was 16 years old:
“I met Chris back in 1994. I was sixteen at the time. I was a waiter at a restaurant in L.A. The woman who Chris was having lunch with asked if I modeled or anything like that. I told her no, but the conversation sparked between the three of us. Chris gave me his card and told me to contact him when I got off work. I did. That’s where it all started. At the time, my mother wasn’t around much and I was half-assed going to school. I waited tables for spending money, but I was basically a broke kid from Ingleside wanting to have all the things Chris had. I told Chris that I wanted to be in the music industry, although I never really had any vocal training. Chris told me he was forming a group with two guys and two girls and I had the look that he was looking for. He told me that talent wasn’t important as long as I was eye candy. He made it very obvious that he found me attractive. The topic of me working with him professionally never really manifested into anything more than time killing conversations that usually lead to sex. The affair lasted until late 1997, right around Christmas. I realized then that I was only a toy and he didn’t really care about me. I told him I didn’t want to continue the relationship. Chris tried to buy me by promising to buy me a BMW. I declined. I knew he was married to a woman (Omarion’s cousin **his aunt, actually**) and living a lie and I no longer wanted to participate. After that, I fell into a deep state of depression, began using drugs (cocaine) and you know what came next… prostitution. I started working for a gay escort service in the summer of 1999. The ads that the service ran hinted that the male escorts were “barely legal”. One day, my boss calls me and tells me that he had a date for me. I go to the location that I was sent to; room 820 at a very regular hotel in Los Angeles. I knock and guess who answers… yup, Chris. He was just as shocked as I was. Of course, I went in and made the money because I had a habit to support. The one thing that stands out in my head about that night is Chris mentioned over and over again that he thought he’d be getting someone much younger. By the way, I was only 21 at that time.
When the Youtube videos came out of Raz B and his brother making those claims, I knew they were all true. It’s only a matter of time before others come forward with their stories. I’m sure we’re not the only ones. Of course, my situation was consensual, I’m sure there were/are others who have a different story to tell.”

While you were busy hitting up gangs on your speed dial…Chris Stokes…Brandy was released of all charges against her. The L.A. City Attorney has decided not to file charges against Brandy over the fatal car accident she was in last year. Her lawyer tells TMZ:
These past 12 months have posed an extraordinary hardship for Brandy and her family, who have been unfairly forced to live under a cloud of suspicion initially caused by the ill-advised and premature press release sent out by the California Highway Patrol accusing Brandy of wrongdoing before the police investigation was even finished. However, Brandy continues to be mindful that she was so fortunate to be uninjured in this accident and there was a life lost that should be remembered.”
Case closed…criminally. Now maybe her lil brother can stop acting out trying to get all the family attention…

Sources tell me that a movie called Dungeons and Dawgs which dropped back in ‘05 indeed tells the story of Chris Stokes and his child molesting ways. The movie, which was produced by Neil James who is supposedly very close to Chris Stokes, tells a three part story. And one part focuses on a successful male music producer/manager who forces his male signees to perform sexual acts on/with him before they are actually signed to his label. The music producer in the movie justifies his actions as “protecting his investments”. He tells folks that if one of his signees even thinks of leaving after they blow up, he has those sexual secrets to hold over their head so they stay put. And seeing that the movie producer was very privy to Chris Stokes’ molesting ways, I wouldn’t be surprised if this story is based off Chris’ down low ish. Especially since it seems like somebody wanted this movie to be wiped off the scene. Most movie sites were threatened with legal actions unless they removed the clips/info about Dungeons and Dawgs. But you can still check out a clip here. Interesting…

So Chris Stokes issued yet another “statement” through his PR company in regards to Raz B.’s apology video:
“I’m happy that Demario “Raz B” Thorton and Ricardo Thorton realized their mistakes and admitted to lying. I have always supported my family and have always been a stand up person. I knew that the truth would eventually come to light.”
Yes, we heard somebody feeding Raz the lines of what to say in his suspect ass apology video. And yes, we peeped him not even being able to look into the camera. And yes, Chris, I saw you including your own uploaded version of the apology video in this e-mail statement from your PR company. At least try to act like you didn’t have anything to do with this apology. I’m just sayin’…

Because now Raz B. is denying all the rape/molestation allegations he put out there about Chris Stokes and Marques Houston:
He says the tapes with the allegations were “leaked” without his authority and he wants to apologize for his false allegations. I smell a rat. Especially b/c I hear Chris Stokes is a master manipulator and I honestly can’t see how you can accidentally say (after having thorough convo about it) that you’ve been molested. What’s really going on here?

Damn…Christmas Eve came and went with a bang. First off, this morning Raz B–formerly of B2K–put out a Youtube video accusing his former manager Chris Stokes and former friend Marques Houston of molesting him. And folks went nuts:
But Chris Stokes’ people at 5W Public Relations co. sent over a statement today refuting all the accusations made by Demario “Raz B” Thorton and Ricardo Thorton:
“The accusations that Demario “Raz B” Thorton and Ricardo Thorton have made are vehemently false and hold no merit. I have recently stopped financially supporting both individuals along with assisting them with their criminal and legal matters which leads me to believe they are resentful and looking to benefit financially from this. My family is my first priority and the reason why I have been so supportive of them. In bringing these false claims, they have not only slandered me, they have also put me in a position to ensure that the truth is known and I will take all legal routes to protect myself, my family and my four children,” said Chris Stokes, CEO of The Ultimate Group.
“It’s also quite ironic that these statements were made only 2 weeks after they were denied admittance by a venue for an event I hosted in Beverly Hills,” added Stokes.
And I’m sure that new “Life After B2K” reality show in the works adds to the suspect factor too. Interesting. Oh, and remember Marques when he was with IMX:
