Good things happens when it rains and you don't have an umbrella! Since it rain yesterday I got caught waiting in my car so I automatically turn the dial to Hot 97 to listen to "The Angie Martinez Show." I was surprised by Kanye West's response to fellow Rocafella label mate Beanie Sigal. Kanye admits he has a gay interior designer, he opens up about blogs--"Watch tomorrow they say Kanye loves the gays!", and he commented on his AND Pharrell's daring fashion sense. "Pharell was the first one to rock LV scarves around his neck!" Kanye also let it know if MJ was around the time of blogs--he would have withdraw from wearing the glittery white socks because of heavy criticms from blogs. Kanye mentioned blogs so much that I had to show him so love by posting this hilarious clip.

Just when I thought Kanye was done about the whole Pharrell/him/Beanie fiasco he brings fellow Chi-town rapper into the equation. Common was also on the show promoting his upcoming record, "Finding Forever." FYI: Common's signed on Kanye's record label, G.O.O.D.

Usher's love for his pregnant wife to be Tameka Foster has moved him to fill a legal lawsuit against his #1 fansite, USHERFOREVER.COM:

"Singer Usher has reportedly served legal papers on the woman running his No.1 fansite, usherforever.com, to shut shop because the website does not care for his fiancee, Tameka Foster. An insider has revealed that the singer has sent Erika Jackson papers through his lawyer. "He's had his lawyer send her papers," the New York Daily News quoted the insider as saying. Foster has been unpopular among Usher’s fans ever since rumors about her acting as a catalyst in the firing of the latter’s manager mother, Jonetta Patton, spread.
In May, Usher parted ways with long-time publicist Simone Smalls, and recently his other long-time representative Chris Chambers left the team. Chambers is said to have disapproved of the "open letter" Usher released to fans last week." [READ MORE]

So outside of his loyal fans, just who does Usher think would buy his music?! If Usher is trying to do some damage control after a series of blows he should try harder than coming at his fans. First there were reports that Jonetta Patton ordered a restraining order against Tameka, then Tameka ALMOST spill it all on Wendy Williams, then his momanger left the camp, then his publicist and rep left, and now Usher and Tameka are getting married. This is all too much in so little time. Didn't he learn from when Brandy tried to let us know that she's 'married' to her baby daddy who got her pregnant? So just why is Usher acting like he's a featherweight in an industry he's been since his "Star Search" days. Hmmm...let's weight out the many possibilites as to why Usher's getting all sensitive: 1.) Tameka must be Usher's true love. 2.) Tameka has some dirt on him. 3.) Usher is just trying to protect his lady love.

Ericka Jackson, webmaster of usherforever.com, has opened up to TMZ.COM about the legal action against her fan site. Supposedly Usher and his record label wants to reprocessed the name 'usher' and linked to LaFace Records.
"Erika Jackson, webmaster of usherforever.com, tells TMZ that she's been hit with a full-scale legal blitz from a tag-team of both Usher's personal lawyer and his label's lawyers, and claims that the trouble started earlier this year when she refused to turn her site -- the self-proclaimed "biggest Usher site" on the Internet -- into a sanitized official site. (The legal threats were first reported by the New York Daily News.)

Not long after, says Jackson, the lawyers tried to bring the hammer down on her, demanding that she "assign the url usherforever.com" to LaFace Records, Usher's label, because it might confuse fans into thinking that it had an affiliation to Usher. Jackson points out that other sites -- like Usher.net and UsherRaymond.org -- that are closer in name to the singer -- haven't been accused of being "confusing."

Naomi Campbell has taken up being a spokesmodel for -wait for it- Dunkin' Donuts:

If she eats at Dunkin' Donuts as she claims in this commerical, this chick has a high metabolism! Modeling plus fast food is NOT a good look! For the fashion forward fashionistas out there, Naomi's rocking a fuschia Giambattista Valli Spring 2007 mini in the commerical.
