NAS REVEALS EARNINGS

Remember when everything was good....




Nas has fired back in his bitter divorce case with Kelis claiming he's paid her more than she says and he makes less than she thinks.

Kelis claims Nas raked in $11 million for his album deal. Nas fired back in legal papers, "I did not receive even half that amount"... claiming it's more like $4 mil. Nas claims his income is declining, and he's only pulling in $147,165 a month.

As for what he spends ... $71,371.96 a month, which includes $10,000 a month in clothing/hair/toiletries/personal effects.

Kelis, who is about to give birth to their child, claims Nas hasn't paid a penny for child or spousal support since he left her. Nas, who says he wants to be "fully involved" in the parenting of their child, claims he's agreed to pay $350 for a stroller, $450 for a baby sling and $1,598 for two cribs.

Nas thinks $5,000 a month is reasonable for child support since the kid will just be a newborn.

GV Says: Hold on....did court papers say he spends roughly $10K on clothing, hair, etc. SMH....my people, my people. We spend, spend, spend. No mention of retirement fund, educational bonds, medical spending accounts...just clothes huh....SMH.

BRANDY SETTLES

LATOYA ACCUSSES THOSE AROUND MICHAEL MURDERERS

Who let LaToya out to talk again....SMH

La Toya Jackson reveals that she suspects he was murdered, the U.K.'s Mail On Sunday reports.

"I believe Michael was murdered," she said. "I felt that from the start. Not just one person was involved, rather it was a conspiracy of people. He was surrounded by a bad circle. Michael was a very meek, quiet, loving person. People took advantage of that. People fought to be close to him, people who weren’t always on his side."

She blamed this "shadowy entourage" for supplying him with prescription drugs.

"They got him hooked on drugs," she said. "He was pure and clean and then drugs came back into his system. I think it shocked his system so much it killed him."

Although results from toxicology tests will take a few more weeks to reveal a definitive cause of death, La Toya -- who signed Michael's death certificate on June 25 after he suffered a cardiac arrest at the age of 50 -- is certain the investigation will reveal her worst fears.

"He had needle marks on his neck and on his arms and more about those will emerge in the next few weeks," she said. " I cannot discuss that any further as I may jeopardise the investigation. I can, however, say that I have not changed my mind about my feeling that Michael was murdered."

She added: "It will all come out. You will be shocked."

La Toya, 53, also asserts that Michael -- whom she said "was the loneliest man in the world" -- was forced into doing 50 concerts in London and was kept away from his family as he went to rehearsals, costume fittings and vocal lessons at all hours.

"It’s impossible even for a healthy person to do that many shows," she said. "Michael was fragile. He always wanted to believe the best of people. But he was meek. In the last few months, he became isolated. I believe the staff were given strict instructions that if any of the family called, not to tell him. And if any of the family came by, not to let them in."

She said that throughout her and her family's mourning, they plan to file a civil lawsuit against anyone -- which could potentially include Michael's personal doctor, Conrad Murray, whom La Toya said "disappeared" after she sought answers from him -- they believe responsible, as well as pushing for police to serve criminal charges.

"I am going to get down to the bottom of this," she said. "I am not going to stop until I find out who is responsible. Why did they keep the family away? It’s not about money. I want justice for Michael. I won’t rest until I find out what -- and who -- killed my brother."

La Toya is equally determined to resolve the custody battle between Katherine Jackson and Debbie Rowe over Michael's two eldest children, Prince, 12, and Paris, 11 (La Toya confirms that Blanket, 7, was conceived with a donor egg and donated sperm and that his biological parents are unknown).

"These are not Debbie’s kids," she said. "They don’t even know she’s their mother. Like everyone else in his life, she was motivated by money. She has always said she’s not their mother. My understanding is that she will now go after the kids. I know a few things about Debbie, and I will prevent that from happening."

In the end, La Toya said she won't rest until she finds out the truth about [her brother].

"I’m doing what I can to find out how he died. If he died of a drug overdose, then I want to find who supplied him the drugs and who first introduced him to them," she said. "We’ve still not had a chance to speak to Dr. Murray about Michael’s final days. I need to know what he may have seen or heard."

She added: "Michael didn’t have to die. We are all mourning his loss, more than anyone can ever know. But we are also determined to get to the bottom of what happened to him."

GV Says: Oh LaToya has been hitting the sauce again. Do I think Michael intentionally killed himself? No, but I do think he was taking a rather large cocktail of drugs to sustain himself.

KELIS GRACES OYSTER

Kelis graces the latest issue of Australian fashion magazine ‘Oyster’.

NIVEA DEBUTS BABY BUMP

So not too many days after Lauren London debuts her Weezy bump, Nivea comes out the woodworks.



GV Says: Doesn't Nivea already have three babies with The Dream? That's a mess....

TOYA RESPONDS

So Toya - Lil Wayne's ex-wife and the mother of one of youngster's who hoped on the stage w/ Weezy and Drake at the BET awards - has finally released a statement addressing the mess of a performance that viewers witnessed.



I, Antonia ” Toya” Carter, have been disturbed but silent about the recent performance that took place at the BET awards, which including my only child Reginae Carter and her friends joining her father Lil Wayne on stage while he performed his new single “Every Girl”. I will be the first to admit that the father and daughter relationship should not have been reunited on stage for any particular reason while this song was being performed. Wayne is a very loving, caring, and devoted father and I truly feel that the act was unintentional due to the fact that he was trying to make his little girl happy by letting her be on stage with her father. Once again, I do not of any degree think it was a wise decision and I truly do apologize to all that this may offended and most importantly the children that watched this performance. I feel we all have learned a lot from this situation and pray that the viewers will allow these children to move forward with their lives and not held accountable because they are innocent.

GV Says: BTW....have you all see the "Toya and Tiny" show on BET? I actually like it. It's nothing at all like what I suspeced it would be.

BRANDY IN SEARCH OF LABEL HOME

Looks like Brandy is going through some serious professional changes....



R&B singer Brandy Norwood is in search of a new record deal. The 30-year-old singer was just dropped by her label Epic Records because of the lackluster sales of from her comeback CD, ‘Human.’ Released on Dec. 8, 2008, the CD has only sold 196,509 units to date according to SoundScan. “Her friend Brandon Creed that works as an A&R representative at Epic Records has been making calls to see if other labels would be interested in signing her,” a record company source told me. In addition, Brandy has also parted ways with her management. The former ‘Moesha’ star had been represented in recent months by Jay-Z’s Roc Nation Management. The McComb, Miss.-bred singer’s relationship with Roc Nation supposedly dissolved because of “creative differences.”

GV Says: That's a shame. Y'all know I love me some Brandy. I actually like Human. Hope everything falls in place for her.

MINORITY REPORT: JON STEPS OUT

What the Sam Hill......


Less than a month after Kate Gosselin filed for divorce, the 32-year-old father of eight went to France with a new woman.

He and 22-year-old Hailey Glassman (the daughter of the doctor who performed Kate's tummy tuck) were spotted holding hands in St. Tropez in the French Riviera on Saturday.

GV Says: I see Jon doesn't give a 'F'.....SMH at this foolishness. You know there has be a better way. I guess you don't have to wait until the ink is dry these days huh?

MARIAH APOLOGIZES

So Mariah Carey wishes she had done a better job performing Jackson 5's biggest hit, "I'll Be There," at Michael Jackson's memorial Tuesday at Los Angeles' Staples Center.

In a post on her Twitter page, she says she was just too overcome with emotion.

"Trying to sing today was basically impossible for me," writes Carey. "I could barely keep myself from crying. I'm sorry that I wasn't able to pull it together and really do it right, but I was literally choked up when I saw him there in front of me."

"One thing I know is, we will never really have to say goodbye to MJ. His legacy lives on through his music and the millions of people. He inspired with his timeless music. He will be forever in our hearts," she adds.

GV Says: You sounded fine Mariah. No need to apologize.

MCNAIR A VICTIM OF MURDER SUICIDE ACCORDING TO CORONER

Looks like the mystery of whether McNair was murdered by his girlfriend or if they were both victims of a third party ambush has been solved.



Pro football quarterback Steve McNair died in a murder-suicide – shot twice in the head and twice in the chest by his girlfriend Sahel Kazemi, who then turned the gun on herself, a coroner says.

Dr. Feng Li based his opinion on the crime-scene investigation, police interviews, the autopsy results and lab studies.

"I'll say greater than 95 percent," Dr. Feng Li told CNN of his certainty. "It's almost an assured thing. We have to be convinced otherwise."

Still, Dr. Li added said he's waiting for results of final lab tests before officially classifying Kazemi's death a suicide.

The body of the former Titans quarterback, 36, was found July 4 in a downtown Nashville condominium, according to police, who also said that a semiautomatic pistol was found under the body of Kazemi, 20, who was shot in the head.

McNair, who was married, began a relationship with Kazemi, who'd been a waitress at a Dave & Buster's restaurant, about six months ago, according reports. Relatives of Kazemi also say the couple traveled the country together and McNair was discussing marriage.

Court records in Nashville reportedly indicate that no divorce was pending for McNair, though his home is for sale. His wife, Mechelle McNair, has made no comment since her husband's death.

GV Says: SMH at this.....I hope his wife finds comfort. I still say I hope she at least knew he was no angel beforehand. What a way to find out if this was her first time learning of if.

THE DREAM AND CHRISTINA MARRIED?

According to the rumor mill, The Dream and Christina may be married. What's the rush here. I feel like they just met.



The two were spotted partying at JET in Vegas over the 4th of July.


GV Says: Thank goodness we've gone back to the dark hair color. Back to the adorable Christina we know and love

LIL KIM AND FAITH GO AT IT

So it seems that Lil Kim is still salty of the Biggie biopic "Notorious" produced by Faith and Voletta Wallace. Allhiphop reports:

Lil Kim and Faith had a face-to-face encounter towards the close of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ coveted White Party in California, sources have reported. Faith and Kim, whom both shared a relationship with The Notorious B.I.G., crossed paths at the White Party, which was held in Los Angeles instead of The Hampton’s in New York. Sources said that Lil Kim took issue with her representation in Notorious, the biopic in which Faith was attached to. Faith was in attendance with her husband and Lil Kim was with producer Choke No Joke and to some, this augmented the tension.

“It was really heated,” one source said. “It was about to pop off…there was crazy screaming.” According to sources, Faith was saying, “I love you” to Lil Kim and Kim responded with “God bless you.” However, later at the event, Kim asked Faith, “How would you say you love me when you trashed me in your book?” Under anonymity, a source [states], “We know that [Faith saying 'I love you'] is bulls**t. It wasn’t even about the movie. It hurt Kim that she was being fake.” Actor Dennis Da Menace, who played D-Roc in “Notorious” and Devante Swing of Jodeci fame were able to prevent a potentially violent exchange between Faith’s husband, Todd Russaw, and Choke No Joke. “At first it was cool, but then Dennis had to peace it out,” another source said. Russaw reportedly attempted to take pictures as Kim and Faith spoke peacefully, to which Choke took exception.

Choke expressed publicly that it was inappropriate to take pictures and charged that Russaw was intoxicated. Russaw was not available for comment on the allegation. Of the matter, Choke would only say, “Yes, I was there, but I don’t have nothing to do with it. Please leave me out of it.” Sean “Diddy” Combs was not at the location at the time of the incident. Despite the drama, Diddy managed to raise awareness for a charity, Malaria No More and his guests enjoyed their time, reports say.

GV Says: Get over it already. The movie is a finished product. It's been in the movie theaters and is now on DVD. Can we stop living in the past already?

MICHAEL JACKSON LAID TO REST

The funeral of Michael Jackson occurred today at the LA Staples Center. The event was classy, flawless and star-studded featuring Lionel Richie, Mariah Carey, Usher, John Mayer and Stevie Wonder among others.

Just as surprising was the arrival of Michael's casket. Once the bronze, gold plated and mirrored casket arrived, it truly humanized Michael and solidified that this indeed was the finale.

DIDDY HOSTS A HOLIDAY WHITE PARTY

Ashton Kutcher and Diddy hoated a July 4th White Party at a private residence in Beverly Hills to help raise awareness for Malaria No More.

Chris Breezy was there with Teyana Taylor - a one-time mutual friend of both Chris and Rihanna. They were a little close but I don't see too much of a connection there. I hear Breezy had his eye on none other than Amber Rose. They were allegedly walking around hand-in-hand. This chick will do anything for attention.

E!News also caught footage of Breezy breaking out in a pure MJ dance tribute....SMH

And the photo that made gasp......Miss Lauren London showed up confirming her pregnancy. SMH...SMH. Can't believe she got caught out there with Weezy of all people. So disappointing. I was really hoping this was a dirty rumor. Weezy may be a good rapper but who wants to be a baby mama....Come on now. Such a gorgeous girl.

RIHANNA LETS IT ALL HANG OUT

Rihanna.....what the Sam Hill......



I mean seriously....Rihanna and her pasties celebrated Independence Day by partying at Tao in Vegas. She was there with her peeps Jay-Z and Ty Ty.

GV Says: I love Rihanna...but she needs a break. I'm concerned.

MICHAEL JACKSON TO BE LAID TO REST IN FOREST LAWN

The Jackson family has gotten the okay to have Michael buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Parks and Mortuaries, the not-for-profit organization that has buried a vast number of Hollywood's notables.



Sources say Michael could be buried as early as this afternoon. Forest Lawn Memorial is the first stop tourists make in search of the crypts of Hollywood greats. Numerous books and Web sites such as findagrave.com and seeing-stars.com claim to have insider knowledge about celebrity grave locations on the properties, but Forest Lawn is unrelentingly secretive about who, exactly, is entombed in its parks.
