Foxy Brown supposedly hit a woman pushing a stroller last week in Brooklyn:
"But the rapper shouldn't even be behind the wheel: The DMV confirms her driver's license has been revoked for failing to respond to summonses. The alleged incident occurred Wednesday evening at the intersection of Underhill Ave. and Prospect Place. The young woman, who requested anonymity, said Brown cut her off on a crosswalk.
"I jumped back, pulling the stroller, and yelled at the driver, 'You should watch where you're going!'" she said. "She cursed at me and proceeded to drive down Prospect Place.
"I called the police, but they said that they couldn't do anything because she didn't actually hit me."
This is not the first time Foxy got herself involved in a little fender bender. Foxy supposedly has a history of riding without her license. As you also know Foxy's on probation for hitting up the manicursits from three years ago.

Usher and Jay-Z hit up the Cavs vs Nets game this past Monday:
Their significant others were hard at work. This might explain the bored facial expressions Usher and Jay-Z were sporting. Jay stay on his Blackberry while Usher simply shot angry glares for the paparazzi. Word is Tameka Foster has a clothing line dropping shortly. Beyonce is on tour overseas and she's gearing up for her Armani AD campaign dropping this fall.
Sources are claiming Beyonce will sing "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend" for the Emporio Armani fragrance commericals airing this Fall.
Usher also made time to hang out with Tameka's son at the Cavs game earlier this month:

R&B singer/actor/producer/songwriter Tank recently open up to BallerStatus about working with Kelly Rowland:
BallerStatus.com: As you already said earlier, you've worked with a variety of people. Out of all the people you worked with, which collaboration do you hold the closest to your heart and why?[credit: BallerStatus]
Tank: I think... you know what, the Kelly Rowland duet that we had. The one that I produced for me and her and which will be on her new album. It's incredible. I mean, every time I hear the record, I just want to run around and let everybody hear it, but unfortunately I can't because the record is not out yet. But I just want everyone in the world to see how talented she is. People really don't know. I guess in a way we both have been underrated for a little while.
BallerStatus.com: What was it like working with her and being with her in the studio?
Tank: I mean, it felt like working with my little sister. It was fantastic... felt like we worked together before. It worked out cool, she's a beautiful young lady.
Well let the rumors begin about these two in spite of Tank dating Robing Givens....
Two new music videos premiered recently. First up is the new joint from Lumidee featuring Pitbull called, "Crazy":
"She's Like the Wind" is Lumidee's lead single off her sophomore effort, "Unexpected." Although that song was pretty much Tony Sunshine's chance to shine (no pun intended), Lumidee has smartly filled the shoes of the R&B girl singing over some rap. Case in point this formula has done wonders for Mya, Ashanti, Beyonce, Ciara, Kelly Rowland, and countless R&B girls in the game.
And lastly the latest from Fergie called, "Big Girls Don't Cry."
All together Fergie has dropped consistent dance records like "London Bridges", "Fergalicious", and "Glamorous." I'm glad she finally dropped a song to feature her vocal range. I was sort of hoping for her to pull in her signature spell out the song title halfway through but I'm sort of glad she didn't.
Rihanna and her good friend Melissa are both having a ball of fun as you can see in the following "Essence" magazine outtakes:
Kelly Rowland is on the cover of B&S, a UK urban music magazine:
On her album, "Ms. Kelly":
“I'm so excited about this album. I've worked so hard on it, and for that it's everything I wanted it to be.” The album in question is in fact a full remake of one that was originally slated for last Summer but never made it. It seems like a lot of hard work went to waste. What happened? “I just felt like it wasn't ready," she explains, "and I thought my last album was rushed, so I didn't want to make that mistake again. Because 'Dilemma' was such a huge success, my label was so excited about putting that out, so I was thrown in the studio to rush an album within 2/3 weeks. But we learn from our mistakes. And I did. So I took my
time with this album. It's my baby.”
“I was focusing mainly on the beats for this album, and making sure my voice could be really melodic over it. I pulled in Scott Storch, Polo Da Don (who did the first single 'Like This' featuring Eve), Soulshock and Karlin, and some new producers out of LA called Kenny and Charlie who are real fly and different.”
On thoughts of a Destiny's Child reunion:
No matter how much they say that Destiny's Child are no more, it is hard to believe there will be no re-union. "Well, anything could happen" Kelly chuckles. "If Destiny's Child were to do another album again, I would want Europe to have it first. You guys have been so supportive towards Destiny's Child, the UK especially. Some of our fondest memories are from the UK so we will let y'all know first!"
