Another Day, Another 3 Witneses ID R Kelly

As the first week in the R Kelly child pornography case came to an end, 3 more witnesses positively ID'd R Kelly and his underage lover as the couple depicted in a homemade sex tape. Another of the victim's childhood friends, now a University of Wisconsin student, her mother, and another of the victim's own relatives say that without a doubt, 41 year old R Kelly is the man shown golden showering a clearly underage girl in the 10 year old sex tape. College student, Audrey Hampton, testified Thursday that she played basketball with the alleged victim and went to school with her for several years. She told the jury "there's no question" that the female on the tape is her childhood friend at age 13 or 14. Audrey said the victim introduced her to Kelly at a party at a downtown Chicago basketball court. She also told the court that rumors started to spread in her neighborhood about a sex tape with her friend in it. Audrey's mother, who says she found a copy of the tape in her daughter's bedroom, testified that she viewed parts of the tape and then threw it in the trash, heartbroken because she too recognized her daughter's friend as the girl on the tape. The final and possibly most damaging testimony came from R&B singer and former R Kelly protégé, Sparkle, who testified that she introduced her 12 year old niece to R Kelly after she started working with the singer/songwriter and that, "Sir, it's Robert and [my niece] on the tape. I know my family. I know them. Trust me." Sparkle said she found out about the tape in December 2001 after she got a phone call from an attorney telling her that a relative of hers was on a sex tape she needed to see. Sparkle told the court the tape tore their family apart. "We were thick as thieves," Sparkle said of the family's closeness before finding out about the tape. "You couldn't break the chain with us. We were tight, tight, tight." But after the the tape came to light, "There was one side and another side," she said. The girl's mother — Sparkle's sister — didn't want to see the tape and didn't want to talk about it, she said.

They Say

Usher was being a little diva last week at the taping of his appearance on Dancing with the Stars. Though Usher's part was being taped, the actual show is live, so when Usher showed up late ass hell, he threw the whole production behind schedule. Then, they say, while lip-synching two songs—”Yeah!” and “Love in This Club”—he messed up the routine twice, turning the wrong way once and losing his mic a second time. After each fuck-up, he walked offstage, then he took a long unscheduled break to get a drink. “He was ridiculous,” claims an on set source. DWTS almost missed its live time slot because of Usher. The show's producer told People Magazine, "It’s never gotten that close before–that was scary.”

They Should Know Better By Now

Kayne West, Common, Method Man and Redman are being sued by the daughter of a jazz musican because they did not get permission from his estate to use samples of his music. The lawsuit said all the rappers used portions of late U.S. jazz musician Joe Farrell's 1974 musical composition "Upon This Rock" in three separate songs -- West in "Gone," Common in "Chi-City" and Method Man and Redman in their song "Run 4 Cover." Kathleen Firrantello is seeking punitive damages of at least $1 million and asked that no further copies of the songs be made, sold or performed, according to the lawsuit.

Witnesses ID Kelly On The Sex Tape

So far there's only been one day of testimony in the R Kelly child pornography case, but boy is it fire. Yesterday, after viewing the sex tape in open court, the underage girl in the video and R Kelly were both positively identified by the victim's former best friend of ten years, Simha Jamison, Simha's father, and the victim's own aunt, who happens to be a Chicago police officer. The former friend told the court that her ex-pal’s father introduced them to R Kelly at a Chicago gym called Hoops when both girls were 12 years old. Simha said the girl referred to Kelly as her Godfather and that they hung out at his home many times. She told the court that Kelly often gave her friend money so they could go on shopping sprees, never less than $100.00 and not more than $500.00. She also identified the distinctive log cabin style sauna where the porno was shot. The defense countered that all three were trying to extort money from his client and that the video could have been altered to add Kelly's head to the body on the video.

In Case You Care

Fox Boogie's new cd, Brooklyn's Don Diva, entered the charts at No. 5, moving 8,800 units in its opening week. That's not a typo. Foxy sold 9,000 cds. They must be counting the bootlegs, too.

I Heard

DMX and his wife Tashera have separated.

Opening Arguments

Opening arguments began yesterday in the R Kelly child pornography case, but not without a little controversy. Remember that one witness who had been identified as a rape victim? She left the trial because her job would not pay her for the time she would have to take off to serve on the jury and she said it would cause her sever financial hardship. But after that was over, prosecutors got right down to the crux of the case and showed the sex tape, allegedly made by Kelly, showing him boning a 13-year-old girl. Courtroom witnesses say at the start of the 27-minute video, a black man, who prosecutors claim is Kells, hands the female, a wad of cash and she says, "Thank you." They say they engage in oral sex, which escalates to intercourse near a hot tub. The video ends with the man urinating on the girl who sometimes calls him "Daddy." The defense countered that the man in the video is not R Kelly, their proof, they say, is the R has a significant mole on his lower back and that the man in the video does not.

Gillie On Don't Date Em Girl.Com

The last time we heard from Philly rapper Gillie da Kid, he was leaking that photo of Baby and Lil Wayne kissing and ranting about how he taught Weezy how to rap and how Weezy dissed him. Yesterday one of my e-friends sent me the link to Gillie's entry on, Don'tDateEmGirl.com, a website dedicated to warning women about guys who ain't shit. The girl who blogged about dating Gille said he has anger issues because he can't get a record deal to save his life and that he's addicted to syrup and marijuana. She also said he has a small dick, will give you a STD and lie about it, likes to beat women, has four or five baby mamas, and has no car, no house, and no money.

We Have Confirmation, Sorta

Beyonce told Britian's Look Magazine, “I don’t deny it (the wedding). I just don’t talk about it. We’ve never talked about us and it’s kind of protected our relationship. I think it’s kept us out of tabloid drama. A lot of actresses that have had successful relationships don’t talk about them, so neither do I.”

Wendy Says That Ain't Her Man

What she actually said was, "Get off my husbands penis... clearly that is not him." On her radio show yesterday Wendy Williams addressed the sex tape making the rounds on the Internet that supposedly shows her husband, Kevin Hunter, in an undated video boning some chick. Some point to the fact that Kevin has tats on his arm and the dude on the video doesn't, like it's impossible for him to have gotten tattoed after this video was made or something. But whatever, that's her story and she's sticking to it.

All That For Nothing?

After all the controvery Nas generated by naming his latest cd, N!gger, that N-word caved under pressure and changed the name of the cd before its release which was probably the plan all along. Nas told MTV, "It's important to me that this album gets to the fans. It's been a long time coming. I want my fans to know that creatively and lyrically, they can expect the same content and the same messages. It's that important. The streets have been waiting for this for a long time. The people will always know what the real title of this album is and what to call it." The cd will now be released untitled.

I've Got Some Good News And Some Bad News

The good news is, that 1.5 million dollar judgment DMX's baby mama won against him for defamation after he claimed in Sister 2 Sister magazine that the child he had outside his marriage with her was the result of her raping him, has been thrown out. The bad news is, now your boy is under investigation for giving a fake name and address at an Arizona hospital, where he went seeking treatment, in an effort to avoid paying his medical bills. Hospital officials claim DMX checked in under the name Troy Jones and was diagnosed with pneumonia. He stayed at the hospital for 8 hours and was overheard telling a visitor that “someone in the projects is going to get the bill”. DMX could be charged with "theft of services" and providing the hospital with "false information including name and address for billing purposes."

Wait, She Can Hear?

Foxy Brown's long awaited ok, not really, but anyway new CD, Brooklyn's Don Diva, was recently released and Foxy hated it. She's since fired her manager, Chaz Williams of Blackhand Entertainment, and released this statement, "I heard this CD in its entirety for the first time just days ago and was devastated. Riddled with grief over an album that was seemingly so carelessly orchestrated, I sat down with the president of Koch to come to a decision on how to make the best of this situation. In another phase of my life and career I would have dealt with this situation with litigation, but for the benefit of my fans and in the wake of the profound spiritual cleansing I recently underwent in prison, I made the decision to settle our creative difference amicably. My fans have waited seven years for an in-store release and deserve my very best. I am of a certain pedigree and I have an obligation to my fans to deliver the level of product my brand is accustomed to. In order to preserve my artistic integrity, the new release will have my stamp of approval and fingerprints all over it. Going independent was a great business decision and I believe Koch and I will deliver the biggest street album in female rap history." If you say so, Foxy.

Jury Selection Is Complete

The R Kelly child pornography jury consists of eight whites and four Blacks. Of the four alternates two are Black, one Hispanic and one is white. Kell's lawyers accused the prosecution of trying to get rid of African Americans from the jury during the voir dire [look it up]. "I think they're using these (challenges) to get rid of African Americans," said Sam Adam Sr., one of Kelly's attorneys. A little later, he complained that "they've used 50 percent of their challenges on African Americans." Prosecutor Shauna Boliker shot back, telling the judge that the defense had "used all six of their preemptories (preemptory challenges) on whites." So there. Interesting note, one of the jurors is a rape victim.

DMX Pleads Not Guilty

After showing up for court 1 hour late, DMX pleaded not guilty to felony drug possession and misdemeanor animal cruelty charges yesterday. The 37-year-old rapper was indicted last week on 11 counts, including felony marijuana and paraphernalia possession and seven counts of misdemeanor animal cruelty. The charges stem from an August raid by authorities investigating if he was neglecting 12 pit bulls at his Phoenix home. Some were dehydrated and appeared to be underfed. Three were found buried in his back yard.

Still Think You Don't Have A Problem, Charles?

In Feburary '07 Charles Barkley, after losing 2.5 million dollars in a six hour period, told reporters, "It's a stupid, bad habit. I have a problem. But the problem is when you can't afford it.

Ok, well how come he owes The Wynn hotel and casino $400,000.00 in unpaid gambling debts? The situation got so bad The Wynn filed suit against Charles and the Clark County DA says if Barkley doesn't pay up, he could be charged with a felony. After the story hit the national media outlets, Charles responded by saying, "My mistake. I'm not broke, and I'm going to take care of it."
