LOWDOWN FOR FRIDAY AUGUST 28th
Uh-oh. Keyshia Cole is not a happy camper. The word I’m hearing she wants OUT from her label Geffen Records. She says they aren’t paying her enough for her new album and if they don’t pay up, she’s out. I’ll keep you posted.
Meanwhile, I hear Jive Records is trying to get rid of one of its artists. They want to sell Chris Brown’s contract and cut their losses. I hear Jive has been in negotiations with Diddy, but that deal fell through. I’ll keep you posted on that, too.
Speaking of Chris Brown, it seems that Larry King Live interview will pop off afterall. You know he was just sentenced for five years probation this week for beating down Rihanna. Anyway, his interview airs next Wednesday, 6pm on CNN.
Chris’ mama got his back. She’s been on the website TheChrisBrownFanClub.com thanking fans for supporting her baby during his hardship. She says he’s put her through, but thanks to the fans, the drama’s been a little easier to handle.
Moving on to Michael Jackson news. We should know today from the LA coroner’s office just how he died. In the meantime, the po-po says they found 14 bottles of sleeping pills, some bags of weed and several empty drug bottles and a tube of a skin bleaching cream at his crib not long after he died. Search warrants were served and family members told the po-po they even found some tar heroin in Mike’s bedroom. Not evidence yet if it were actually heroin. By the way, thousands of fans around the world plan to celebrate Mike’s birthday tomorrow.
Speaking of druggin’, Oakland emcee Too Short was arrested in the wee-wee hours of the morning in Las Vegas on suspicion of driving drunk. He was also charged with possession of marijuana and speeding.
Help could be on the way for C-Murder and his homocide conviction. The NAACP believes there was some jury tampering going on and is asking the Lousiana Supreme Court to look into the matter.
