CONGRATS TO ALICIA & SWIZZ!

According to HOT97‘s Miss Info, Alicia Keys & Swizz Beatz tied the knot today aboard a 260-foot yacht on the Mediterranean Sea, near Sardinia’s uber-exclusive Costa Smerelda Enclave. Damn! Because Swizzy & Alicia aren’t Italian citizens, the actual exchange of vows were done here in the tri-state. And at that small ceremony Alicia wore a Vera Wang gown, while Swizz wore Tom Ford.

Blessings & Well Wishes To Them Both!

Foxy Brown’s Second Run-In This Week!

Rapper Foxy Brown fled the scene by the time cops responded to the commotion on 43rd St.

Foxy Brown went back into hiding after she allegedly sparked a slug fest with her own posse in the lobby of a swank Manhattan high rise. The brouhaha began after Fox, who has been beset by legal troubles of late, blew off an interview with a reporter in which she was supposed to give her side of the story, a source said. Instead,she stayed put inside the apartment of Passengerz producer Sean Gill on 43rd St. – her address ever since her arrest last week for violating an order of protection by cursing out and mooning another woman on a Brooklyn sidewalk.

Finally, Fox came down around 8:30 p.m. Thursday – six hours after she was supposed to sit down with WNBC reporter Tom Llamas. And her mouth was on FIRE. “She was out of control,” the source said. “She was told to keep her voice down and to act right, but she didn’t want to hear any of it.” When building workers told Fox to pipe down, she pumped up the vile volume – prompting posse-members to put out an SOS call to her manager, Bernadette Brennan. But she couldn’t get Brown to simmer down either – and was allegedly attacked by the rapper when she tried. Fox also allegedly battled several others of her supposed supporters, and TMZ.com reported it took more than 10 people to break up the fight.

Cops drawn by the noise responded to the ruckus, but by the time they arrived Brown was gone. Brennan, who bailed out Brown after her last arrest, declined to comment about the incident or press charges against her client.

Aaron Hall Goes IN On The Dream, Trey Songz, & … R. KELLY!

Oh-My-God how I have waited for this day. I don’t give a damn about The Dream. Could care even less about Trey Songz. But the legendary Aaron Hall – of the “New Jack Swing” Group GUY– has finally opened his mouth & expressed an opinion about his clone R. Kelly. Youngins Stay OUTTA this! This is GROWN folk talking. If you were ANYWHERE around during 1991 when R. Kelly came out with the group Public Announcement, you couldn’t help but hear the similarity between his & Aaron Hall’s voice. Then, when R. dropped the group & went solo, the obvious became more … well … OBVIOUS.

NOW, after almost 20 years, Aaron has something to say & we’re all gonna listen. Ready? Rollllll Footage:

Bobby Valentino Says Reggie Bush Would’ve NEVER Married Kim Kardashian.

I don’t quite know what makes him an authority, but in his OWN words, here’s singer Bobby Valentino‘s opinion As To WHY Reggie Bush wouldn’t have wanted to marry Kim Kardashian:

“It’s easily more accepted for a woman to go out with her man and he done chopped everyone in the club [than a woman doing the same]. Look at Reggie Bush. He can’t marry Kim Kardashian because she has a sex tape and she’s smashed a million dudes. Right? He can’t marry her. It’s not a good look.”

American Idol Switch Up: Kara DioGuardi OUT; Steven Tyler & J-Lo IN!

Kara DioGuardi has reportedly been fired from 'American Idol,' whereas rocker Steven Tyler may be joining the show.

Ellen DeGeneres is not be the only woman leaving her post on American Idol.” Difference is Ellen was smart enough to leave on her own before she was “asked” to leave. Unfortunately, Kara DioGuardi has been fired from the show. With DeGeneres out, Jennifer Lopez is reportedly close to signing a deal to take over the empty seat, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. But that’s not the only big change in store for “Idol.” Though Bret Michaels appeared to be the front-runner to replace departing judge Simon Cowell, reports Thursday night claim Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler is in the lead, reports GossipCop.com. If all deals go as planned, the reality show reportedly will revert to its original three-judge format, consisting of Lopez, Tyler and original judge Randy Jackson.

Laurence Fishburne’s Daughter Breaks Into Acting via SEXTAPE!

Laurence Fisburne's daughter, Montana (l.), is starring in a porn film for Vivid Entertainment.

Seems like Montana FishburneLaurence Fishburne‘s daughter- is joining the ranks of Kim Kardashian, Kendra Wilkinson & Kat Stacks! Montana is breaking into the movie business via PORN. W-T-F!!!??? Rather than do things the honest ol’ fashioned way by submitting an acting reel or attend auditions, young Montana Fishburne plans to use a sex tape to increase her profile and give her a foothold in the film industry.

According to a press release, Vivid Entertainment, which also distributed Kendra Wilkinson and Kim Kardashian’s sex tape, will handle the release of Montana Fishburne’s self-titled video, which is due out August 18th. She said she was inspired by Kim Kardashian, who shot to instant fame after her own sex tape was made public several years ago. “I’ve watched how successful Kim Kardashian became and I think a lot of it was due to the release of her sex tape by Vivid,” Fishburne said in the press release.” I’m hoping the same magic will work for me. I’m impatient about getting well-known and having more opportunities and his seemed like a great way to get started on it.”

Montana made up her mind to make this DVD before we met her,” Vivid co-founder/chairman Steven Hirsch said. “She grew up in the entertainment business and was well aware of our company. In looking at the careers of many current leading female personalities, she saw a path to success and hopes to follow it.” A YouTube interview of Montana Fishburne with one of my FAVORITE adult actors Brian Pumper , one of her new co-stars, has been making Internet rounds. “The scene was fun. It was sexy,” Pumper said of their work together. “She performed well.” “It’s a step in a direction,” Montana Fishburne added of her motives for joining “the industry.”

Really Baby, is THIS what it’s come to? Is this the route we’re taking where sleaze & sex, override hard work & talent? BullSh#t! Say what you want, but I think there’s more to it than meets the eye. I believe that -for whatever reason- Montana is trying to piss her uber famous dad off in a MAJOR way. Maybe daddy didn’t give her enough attention growing up & this is the only way she knows how to get it. Which is why MOST people make a spectacle of themselves- ATTENTION STARVATION. Take notice: the LOUDEST, Most ABRASIVE Person in the room is ALWAYS the most insecure who NEEDS attention. Trust me!

I hope they can work out their family issues before this young lady ruins her life.

Chris Tucker Owes IRS $11.5 Million.

Actor and comedian Chris Tucker reportedly owes the IRS $11.5 million in taxes, spanning a period from 2001 to 2006

Looks like actor Chris Tucker wasn’t in a rush to pay his taxes. The motormouth comic owes the IRS a staggering $11.5 million, it was reported yesterday. A tax lien filed in Los Angeles claims Tucker failed to pay Uncle Sam millions in 2001, 2002 and 2006 and hundreds of thousands more in 2004 and 2005, TMZ reported. That’s on top of $3.6 million the state of California says the 37-year-old owes them. Reps for Tucker, who was paid $20 million for each of the “Rush Hour” sequels, did not return messages seeking comment.

Another Arrest Warrant Issued For Eddy Curry.

New York Knicks center Eddy Curry faces another arrest warrant after failing to pay a $660,000 payout for sex with an underage girl.

Times are still tough for Eddy Curry. A Chicago judge has issued an arrest warrant for the troubled New York Knicks center for the second time since June. The judge signed the warrant Monday after learning the ballplayer hasn’t paid nearly $200,000 of a $660,000 settlement for sex with an underage girl, court officials said Thursday. The payout stems from a 2001 case in which Curry, then 18, was sued for having sex with a 14-year-old girl. He agreed to the settlement in 2007. The arrears led a judge to issue an arrest warrant in June. That was revoked after Curry agreed to sign a new agreement and pay the balance. But Curry, 27, still hasn’t paid up, so he’s in trouble again. The injury-prone, 6-foot-11 center is deeply in debt despite an annual $10.5 million Knicks. Curry played just four games in the past two seasons. His lawyer, Mark Belongia, could not be reached for comment Thursday night.

Damon Dash Loses TWO Manhattan Apartments.

BON - DAMON DASH LONDON

It’s a hard-knock life for onetime hip hop mogul Damon Dash, whose TriBeCa duplex was sold yesterday at a foreclosure sale for $5.5 million. The auction in state Supreme Court was ordered after Dash was sued nearly two years ago for failing to pay the $78,504 monthly tab on a $7.3 million mortgage on two Manhattan apartments. Only the duplex, at 25 North Moore, fetched any interest, with the winning bid going to California-based finance firm Platinum Capital. The second apartment is at 79 Laight St.

The economy & recession are getting the best of many of us. However, Dame blames Jay-Z for his current financial situation. In an interview with The Village Voice, Dame says “The people that I was helping, once they realized their dreams, they did what a criminal would do. “They stabbed you in the back. Think about the frustration of building a brand for years that should be taking care of your family, and then the person that was the closest to you saying, ‘Nah, you can’t have no parts of it,’ and flushing it.” Ouch. Well, when you put it that way …
