Rihanna And Chris Brown Reconnect On Twitter

Chris Brown and Rihanna both began following each other on Twitter recently and her fans were not at all happy about it...

After one of the Rihanna Navy noticed the follow, they warned Rihanna not to go back to Chris.

That didn't go too well.

You know what happened next: Rihanna cut up, the stan apologized, Rihanna forgave them, and they kissed and made up.

Cali Swag District Member M-Bone Murdered In Drive By

One of the guys who taught you how to 'Dougie' may have lost his life in a Twitter beef over a girl...
From TMZ

Murdered Cali Swag District member M-Bone may have been targeted after a Twitter war over a girl ... sources connected with the group tell TMZ.

Our sources say M-Bone's friends have been in touch with cops, telling investigators after he got back to L.A. from his tour, he got involved with a girl. M-Bone's friends say a guy who lived in the woman's building didn't like the relationship, and allegedly began threatening M-Bone via Twitter.

We're told M-Bone did not back down and the two men started cyber smack-talking each other. TMZ has learned ... the black car in which M-Bone was shot is registered to the woman.
Cops are trying to figure out why M-Bone was driving the woman's car and whether the cyber war is in any way related to the shooting.

And one more important detail. Witnesses tell TMZ, the shooter fired, left, then pulled a U-turn and came back around, possibly to see if he hit his target. The upshot -- it might not be random, as first suspected.

 This is just utterly ridiculous. A man has lost his life over some total and complete bullsh*t involving a female. May his family get the swift justice they deserve. RIP.

Cassidy Arrested For Murder

Philly rapper Cassidy was arrested over the weekend for probation violations and suspicion of murder...
From North Jersey

City police arrested a hip-hop artist Saturday who is wanted in Philadelphia, authorities said.
The Philadelphia Police warrant squad called the Hackensack Police Department on Saturday morning to tell officers there was an open warrant for Hackensack resident Barry Reese, also known as the rapper Cassidy, Hackensack police Lt. Timothy Lloyd said.

The warrant was for violating probation, but Reese is also a suspect in a murder and two attempted murders in Philadelphia, Lloyd said. Philadelphia police knew from a prior investigation that the rapper lived in Hackensack, Lloyd said. Philadelphia police told their Hackensack counterparts “to consider this person armed and dangerous,” and this was a “high-risk warrant,” Lloyd said.

Officers from the Hackensack Police Emergency Response Team and the police department’s juvenile bureau watched Reese’s home Saturday on Reilly Court, Lloyd said. Reese left his house about 1:30 p.m. and was followed by police to a local convenience store, Lloyd said.
An undercover ERT officer went in the store and positively identified Reese, he said.
When Reese came out of the store, “the ERT units moved in and conducted a felony motor vehicle stop,” Lloyd said.

Reese “was very surprised,” Lloyd said. The officers who arrested the rapper “did an outstanding job,” he said. “Without the proper teamwork going on, this could have spiraled out of control quickly.” No one was injured in the arrest, Lloyd said. Reese, 28, will be brought to the Bergen County Jail Annex to await extradition to Philadelphia, Lloyd said.

Cassidy’s most well-known single is 2005’s “I’m a Hustla,” which reached No. 8 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop charts.

 Say it ain't so, Cass, say it ain't so.

'I was aware of all the false things that were being said about me. It definitely hurt.'

Explaining why she hasn't talked about it til now Alicia admitted,

'I was sure that if I engaged it would become back-and-forth like some sick entertainment, which goes against everything I believe and would have made things worse,'

Jermaine Dupri Got A Stripper Pregnant...

Yesterday news broke that a former stripper in Atlanta had to take Jermaine Dupri to court for back child support.  Apparently, Jermaine had quietly been ordered to pay $2,500.00 a month plus $7,500 in back support to Sarai Jones for their 7 month old daughter. He should have paid it. That way we would have never  figured out that atrocious tattoo of Janet was a desperate last ditch effort to win her back. Being that JD is now hollering broke, it will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Twitter Beef: Joe Budden And Chris Brown

Joe Budden has been put on blast for the recent beating of video model Esther Baxter after she released those disgusting pictures. Yesterday Esther gave an explosive interview to Bossip telling them Joe once beat the crap out of her, resulting in the death of their unborn child. To prove it, Esther provided a police report, a restraining order, pictures of her bruised body and several pictures of a bloody clot floating in a toilet. I'm not kidding. There was a picture of an actual dead fetus. The pictures were online until Bossip removed them without explanation.  Esther later denied giving Bossip permission to post the miscarried fetus pictures and Joe denied ever hitting Esther. Joe Budden's Twitter time line then went berserk with people attacking him. In response he started Tweeting sarcastic references between his situation and Chris Brown's. Christopher was not amused and had to let your boy Joe know what the deal is in a very mature tweet. I don't know why people refuse to leave Chris alone. The young man can't catch a break.

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon have finally revealed the names of their twins. The girl is Monroe Cannon and the boy is Moroccan Scott Cannon. The boy’s name is from where Nick proposed to Mariah, the top tier of her New York City apartment which is called the “Moroccan Room.” Scott is Nick’s middle name as well as his grandmother’s maiden name. Little Moroccan will  be nicknamed Roc. Monroe is named after Marilyn Monroe who is Mariah’s idol. She will have no middlename just like Mariah has no middle name. I'm not mad at these names, at least they're sensible. Good job Mariah and Nick.
