Dave Chappelle’s former manager is trying to get his hands deep in Dave’s pockets:
Mustafa Abuelhija settled a 2005 lawsuit with Chappelle after he was fired abruptly. The settlement called for Abuelhija to receive 10% of the profits from ‘Dave Chappelle’s Block Party,’ 10% of the money Chappelle got from seasons 2, 3 and 4 of ‘Chappelle’s Show’ and 10% of any money he received for the comedy special ‘For What It’s Worth.’ So far, he claims, he hasn’t gotten anything.
According to a new suit, filed in New York, Abuelhija claims Chappelle has taken in close to $1.2 mil since they signed the settlement — and he feels he’s entitled to 10% of it.”
Damn, that dude is calculating Dave’s income all meticulously and what-not. Chappelle better secure kung-fu grippage on them stacks, this guys sounds like he’s on a mission.
Remy Ma’s sentence date has been pushed back from April 23rd to May 13th. Now she’ll have more time to put the finishing touches on that jailhouse wedding she’s been planning. Oh yeah and what the hell are you wearing, nothing like dressing equestrian in the city...yeah no so much...
Whitney and Ray-J were spotted at a boxing match on Saturday:
Whitney Houston was back to her bizarre ways at the Hopkins-Calzaghe fight in Vegas Saturday. ‘She was practically carried in by her staff, and her people snapped their fingers, saying, “‘Whitney needs a waitress!’” says our spy. ‘She couldn’t focus while Ray J sang the national anthem But when he got back to her they were lovey-dovey all night.’”
At this point, bizarre is the norm for ole Whitney, and Ray-J has officially entered the black-hole that is her world. He might as well go ahead and reserve a bed at the Betty Ford clinic - he ’bout to get turned out!

Wendy Williams is about to try the TV talk show thing again:
“Wendy Williams, whose bold personality and unvarnished opinions have made her an institution on radio, will launch her long-awaited television talk show July 14 on Fox. The hour-long daily show is scheduled for a six-week run and will feature Williams interviewing prominent guests. Initially it will be seen in four cities: New York (Ch. 5), Los Angeles, Dallas and Detroit.
Williams said late last year that even though she was developing the TV show, ‘Radio is still my first love. It’s my base. I won’t give it up.’”
It’s a good thing too because listening to that manly ass, base-filled voice is one thing. Actually watching her drag queen swag is action is quite another.
By the by….we’re curious to see if the impending lawsuit against the TST and her hubby will put the brakes on this little endeavor.

Spitfire Naomi recently apologized to British Ariways for her unruly behavior. Now she reveals some of her innermost thoughts:
“‘I travel a lot. I love traveling. It’s peaceful in the air. Nobody can get me there.’ She says she’s had therapy because inside her flamboyant outbursts is a scared deserted child and: ‘What I hate is people who, because you are in the public eye, try to take advantage of you, blackmail you. Unfortunately what happens is that lawyers become your best friend . . . What has been written about me is out of the hemisphere. Just wrong . . . I don’t care if they call me a bitch. A bitch is someone defending their rights . . . I’m a fighter.’ But ‘I’ve learned to meditate, to give myself some breaks during the day. I’ve rediscovered my good humor.’”
It’s clear that Naomi definitely needs to learn how to chill the hell out. May we suggest aromatherapy or purchasing a new weave to cover that raggedy-ass hairline?
Halle Berry has a hectic post-pregnancy schedule. The Oscar winner has reportedly signed on to star in a new film called “Frankie and Alice,” which chronicles the life of a woman diagnosed with multiple personality disorder.

“It’s always sad when things like this end, and we remain friends,” Phifer tells PEOPLE. “I wish him the best in his future and all of his endeavors. He’s one of the most talented people I’ve ever met.” Phifer was spotted on the red carpet sans her engagement ring at an “Evenings in Vogue” event on Thursday night in New York, where her clothing line, Ghita, was featured. According to the friend, Phifer and West, both 30, had been spending less time together in the last few weeks as the Grammy-winning star prepared for his nationwide “Glow in the Dark” tour. “I haven’t seen [Alexis] around at all the last few times I’ve seen him recently,” the friend added.

Mr. Baby Wipes is getting in touch with his musical side:
“In a page out of Hustle and Flow, Academy Award-nominated star Terrence Howard hosted a lunchtime listening session Monday for his debut album: ‘Terrence Howard – Me and the Band of Kings.’
Howard told the audience that he began writing songs at age 16 in his ‘rainbow colored notebook,’ and discussed recording an ‘emotionally sobering’ song that began as a letter to his ex-wife.”
Terrence and his rainbow colored diary and murse swag. He really may be going the way of Eddie Murphy after all.
Diss tracks are amazing and hilarious. It's funny to watch the unbridled pettiness of grown men rappers.
Crews used to just record the song and release it on a 12" or mix tape. Then rap nerds started hacking each other's myspace pages. Now they are shooting low budget diss track videos and putting them on YouTube.
I'm just going to say that the Cam'ron 50 Cent diss video Curtis is kind-of-good. Especially when they get the UPS guy to call out 50. On the other hand the Scott Storch Timbaland diss is the worst thing I've ever seen.
