50's Turning into Quite the Businessman
Either he's not as dumb as he looks, or he has a reallyyyy good business team. 50 Cent has recently delved into another business venture, aquiring the trademark "G-Unot". When I first read this I thought it was the dumbest thing someone could do. Who would want to buy a brand that is making a mockery of your whole existence? Then I sat back and laughed, because 50 is laughing all the way to the bank. By acquiring G-Unot, he is keeping the Game from ever marketing off the trademark. So no more G-Unot clothing line, it all goes to 50. Essentially, this would keep the Game from wanting to do anything with the term, because it would all just make more money for his arch rival. I hear that 50 supposedly pulled a similar stunt with Cam'ron and is now getting paid off of the videos he posted on YouTube...

Making the Band Should Just Go Away and Save Us All the Drama
As if it isn't bad enough that Making the Band has failed to produce 1 great act (out of all 3 seasons), it's causing drama now to. We're all used to the arguing, because Diddy is sooo good throwing a group full of RANDOM artists together and expecting them to live and in peace and harmony. But, this time the drama was between him and the show's choreographer Laurie Ann Gibson. Laurie Ann had allegedly filed a complaint on May 11 against Diddy with the NYPD, citing that he throw a chair at her during an argument. Apparently, the argument was over Diddy's dissatisfaction with the new group's lackluster performance (what a surprise). To add to the swirl of randomness, Michael Bivens was a celebrity guest judge and allegedly tried to hold her down while Diddy attempted to hit her. All of this was caught on tape, and the NYPD is still trying to get a hold of the footage for their investigation. However, seeing that Diddy is the show's executive producer, I wouldn't be surprised if the footage mysteriously disappears...

Bobby Wants to Mooch Off Whitney Till Death Do Them Part
Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston finalized their divorce on April 24, in a proceeding that was suprisingly not over the top. Houston was granted sole custody of 14 y.o. Bobbi Kristina...end of story. BUT, you know Bobby couldn't let it all go without leaving with SOMETHING. He is suing Whitney for his being "homeless", and feels that he desires spousal support. He also wants shared custody of their daughter. Two questions. 1)What in the world gave him the idea that sniffing away his life and being a bum is a job worth paying for? 2)If you're so-called "homeless" and can't stand on your own two feet, what would make you think the court would allow you to drag your kid into your nothingness? This is a verdict I'm not waiting around for, and it should be an open and shut case. But, it is Hollywood (w/ a crackhead...or two).
