According to the report, the two tried to work things out earlier this week, but negotiations fell through. Now Wayne wants a judge to allow him to break free from his Cash Money Records contract claiming Baby violated the terms of his deal by withholding the release of Tha Carter V. The Young Money head claims Birdman also failed to pay him an $8 million advance on his last album which he plans to sue for.
What do you think about this?????
sources say Birdman is angry on 2 fronts … that Wayne is trying to bail on a binding contract and even more personal, he’s putting their relationship on blast.
Wayne’s song, “I’m Sorry for the Wait,” is especially galling to Birdman because he feels the man he calls “son” is treating him like some random producer.
As we reported, lawyers and others for Wayne and Birdman are in talks, but Wayne has threatened a lawsuit if his album isn’t released.
CNN)A federal investigation has not found enough evidence to charge Darren Wilson with the federal crime of depriving Michael Brown of his civil rights, according to multiple sources familiar with the investigation.
The FBI has completed its investigation into the August shooting in Ferguson, Missouri, and sent the findings to the Justice Department, a law enforcement official and a separate U.S. official said Wednesday.
Justice Department prosecutors will not recommend civil rights charges against Wilson, who killed Brown, because there is not sufficient evidence to support charges, a U.S. official told CNN.
The NFL has found that 11 of 12 of the New England Patriots game balls were inflated significantly less than the NFL requires, league sources involved and familiar with the investigation of Sunday’s AFC championship game told ESPN.

Golden Globe® Award winner and Academy Award® nominee Angela Bassett makes her directorial debut with the Lifetime Original Movie “Whitney,” featuring Yaya DaCosta (Lee Daniels’ “The Butler”) in the lead role with Arlen Escarpeta (“Final Destination 5”) alongside her as Bobby Brown.
“Whitney” chronicles the headline-making relationship between the iconic singer, actress, producer and model Whitney Houston and singer and songwriter Bobby Brown from the time they first met at the very height of their celebrity to their courtship and tumultuous marriage. Throughout it all, difficulties followed the superstar couple while they dealt with the overwhelming rewards and consequences of the fame and fortune created by Houston’s meteoric rise that would soon overshadow them both.
Houston’s vocal performances in the film are sung by Grammy®-nominated and multiplatinum-selling entertainer Deborah Cox. The music featured in the film includes Houston’s hits “The Greatest Love of All,” “I’m Your Baby Tonight,” “I’m Every Woman” and “I Will Always Love You” as well as Brown’s “Every Little Step.”
Produced by The Sanitsky Company, “Whitney” is executive produced by Larry Sanitsky (“Betty & Coretta”). Shem Bitterman (“Betty & Coretta”) wrote the script.
Following the movie’s premiere, Lifetime will air the hour-long documentary “Beyond the Headlines: Whitney Houston” at 10/9c, providing an in-depth look at the life and death of Houston. Interviews with friends – including longtime friend Darlene Love – colleagues and industry insiders will offer personal reflections and insight into the life and career of this American songstress and the tragic circumstances of her downfall. “Beyond the Headlines: Whitney Houston” is produced by Peacock Productions.

The remaining three episodes of Atlanta-based “Sorority Sisters” are being burned off three in a row this Friday night.

Lil Wayne is making the best of a pretty bad situation. He is still snared in a public and fractious fight with Birdman over the control of his upcoming album Tha Carter V, which is signed to Cash Money, the label Birdman started. Not to let such business get in the way of the music, Weezy has decided to make sure he is still delivering new content to his fans and announced a new mixtape, Sorry For The Wait 2, the follow up to his previous mixtape, Sorry For The Wait that preceded the extensively delayed Tha Carter IV. Now a tentative cover art has been released for the mixtape, as well as the news that a song from SFTW2 will be released today (Jan. 12) in celebration of the Green Bay Packers’ win over the Dallas Cowboys yesterday.

Soon three shots can be heard. A crowd of hundreds disperse and less than a minute later three more shots were fired. San Jose police arrived to the scene to find four people injured. They were transported to a local hospital. A fifth victim walked into a local hospital shortly after.
Details on the condition of the victims, or their identities, were not immediately made available. Reports say there have been several arrests.
Zimmerman was arrested by Lake Mary police on Friday night after allegedly throwing a wine bottle in his girlfriend’s direction earlier in the week, his attorney Donald West said.
West appeared at Zimmerman’s side in a Seminole County court Saturday morning. Later Zimmerman was released, the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office said.
“Mr. Zimmerman denies the accusation,” said West, who was part of the defense team that represented Zimmerman during his trial in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, 17, during a neighborhood watch patrol in Sanford two years ago. Zimmerman claimed he was acting in self-defense.
The case polarized the American public and drew international attention to Florida’s “stand your ground” law, which makes it easier to use lethal force in self-defense by removing the obligation of a shooter to retreat and avoid a confrontation.
The aggravated assault charge is a third-degree felony that carries a maximum penalty of up to five years in prison or a $5,000 fine, the lawyer said. An arraignment is scheduled for Feb. 17.

The NFL sent a letter to Orefici Watches demanding the company immediately stop posting pictures of NFL stars wearing their jewelry on its various websites and social media pages.
But the explanation is the interesting part — in the letter, the NFL says the league “has the exclusive right to license the names, likenesses, images” and more of nearly all NFL players for commercial products and promotions involving six or more players.
The NFL demanded Orefici remove the images ASAP or else it would take further legal action against the company. We’re told Orefici complied.
FYI — after the company received the letter, DeMarco Murray contacted the company and bought 22 watchesfor various teammates … though pics of the players sporting the watches are noticeably absent from Orefici’s social media.

A few days ago, Snoop posted a photo of a man with the caption, “Whose auntcle is this?” The Maryland native, Cortez Booze, was then bombarded with a slew of hateful comments from Instagram users.
The comments ranged from people calling him a “shemale” and “confused,” as well as other derogatory homophobic slurs. According to TMZ, Booze reported the image to Instagram but also plans on filing a lawsuit against the rapper for posting his image which sparked the negativity. This is similar to the lawsuit filed against Shaquille O’Neal, who posted a photo of a man with a genetic disorder this past summer. That case is still pending.

Beats Electronics, the company behind the uber popular Beats By Dr. Dre headphones is currently embroiled in a lawsuit against a former business associate. Beats rival Monster, which also help design the original Beats headphones has filed suit against the company with its CEO Noel Lee claiming, he and Monster created the technology behind Beats By Dr. Dre.

Oscar nominee Taraji P. Henson eats up the scenery on this show as Lucious’ ex-wife Cookie. She’s steely, streetwise and savvy about the music industry. But she took a fall for Lucious, going to jail for 17 years so he could use $400,000 in drug money to start their company.
As the show begins, she’s fresh out of the slammer and threatening to derail everything if she can’t manage her son’s career.
“I’ve been living like a dog for 17 years, and now … I want what’s mine,” she tells Lucious while plunking on a piano in his office. “I want Jamal.”
This sets up one of many conflicts on the show, as Cookie takes over managing their gay son, Jamal, and Lucious backs in-your-face rapper son Hakeem. Clean-cut son Andre has subtly encouraged this — egged on by his white girlfriend — in hopes that his two other brothers will destroy each other.
Jameis Winston won’t be back in a Florida State uniform next season, his father said Wednesday, opting instead to enter the NFL draft.

In an interview with ShowBiz411, Rashad — who played the iconic Claire Huxtable on “The Cosby Show” and also co-starred in the show’s sequel, “Cosby” — slammed the allegations against the comedian. “Forget these women,” Rashad told the entertainment website in an interview posted late Tuesday. “What you’re seeing is the destruction of a legacy. And I think it’s orchestrated.”
“Someone is determined to keep Bill Cosby off TV,” Rashad was quoted as saying. “And it’s worked.” After the allegations, TV Land pulled “Cosby Show” reruns, Netflix postponed a streaming Bill Cosby special and NBC pulled the plug on a sitcom it was developing with the comedian.
Taraji P. Henson doesn’t mince her words and won’t bite her tongue.
50 Cent has put his Starz show “Power” in competition with Fox’s debut series “Empire” starring Henson and Terrence Howard.
The king of beef accused the upcoming show of stealing “Power’s” marketing plan. In an Instagram post he wrote, “POWER Season 2 is unbelievable good trust me. I have the best writers and show runner. I like Terrence howard and Taraji Henson. I don’t like that They would copy the Marketing. #SMSAudio #FRIGO #POWERTV.”
Henson hasn’t focused a bit of her energy on responding to the rapper in the press, but when a fan asked her how she felt about his comments, she kept it all the way one hundred.
“I pay attention to $’s NOT cents,” she tweeted.
The photo, which purports to depict Malia posing sassily in a white T-shirt bearing the Pro Era logo, first popped up on Pro Era’s Twitter feed and quickly spread to sites like Vibe and Complex. A representative for Pro Era member Joey Bada$$ told Gawker that they received the photo from “a mutual friend of Malia and the pro era member,” but declined to give further details.
The image doesn’t appear to be Photoshopped, but it’s unclear whether the subject is actually Malia or a particularly convincing doppelgänger. Allow us to investigate further.

Charlie Sheen went on a wild rant against Kim Kardashian in the wee hours Tuesday morning, telling her to go “f yourself” for allegedly crushing a little girl’s dream.
Charlie says a friend told him about a 6-year-old girl who worshiped Kim and asked her for her autograph. Charlie says Kim turned the kid down flat, adding, “She cries about it every night before she goes to sleep.”
And that’s when he goes off: “you are lucky that ANYONE cares about your gross and giggly [sic] bag of funk you dare call an ass.”
He dares her to compare resumes with him, and then says, “your public loves u. give something back or go f yourself.”

In the premiere episode of Celebrity Apprentice, Keisha Knight Pulliam was appointed as the female team’s project manager and fired for not calling Bill Cosby to help reach her goal.
Pulliam needed to raise money for her team for the Project Pie Face competition but choose not to reach out to Cosby for a donation. She contacted Russell Simmons, Ludacris and Tyler Perry (to name a few) to donate funds because she felt they could “deliver the quickest.” Unfortunately, her team didn’t make their financial goal and her teammates blamed the actress who once played Cosby’s adorable daughter Rudy on The Cosby Show for not contacting her famed television father. At the end of the competition, the team was evaluated in the boardroom meeting with Donald Trump, his fashion designer/businesswoman daughter Ivanka Trump and Piers Morgan. The spotlight was on Pulliam with the repeated question: “Why didn’t you call Bill?” The Vulture reports: –
