About Chrissy & Mr. Jones

  1. Rapper finally gets his dream-girl and they fall in love. She proposes to him. He proposes to her. And now, Jim & Chrissy are THE hip-hop couple with all eyes pointed at them. As tradition goes, the next step for the couple is obvious, but on this road to the altar, all is not as it seems. 

    VH1's new docu-series "Chrissy & Mr. Jones" is a look inside one of Hip Hop's most infamous couples. As they weave through their own development, they'll collide with their past, embark on new ventures and make the difficult decision about tying the knot. This is a story about commitment, drama, industry and at the end of the day -- family. 

    After 8 years of courtship Chrissy Lampkin finally has a ring on her finger from rapper Jim Jones -- and a seriously big one at that. Most would think she'd be making a mad dash to the altar but on the contrary, Chrissy's her own woman. Chrissy is battling with her desire for independence. She's bored with being seen as Jim's girl and is looking for her own emancipation. Despite her diamond engagement ring, her fiancé is still a rapper who doesn't want to grow up. She's grown tired of his antics and believes she can re-establish her position in the relationship by stepping away from Jim's credit line. Furthermore, Chrissy is in her early 40s and she thinks about whether she should try and have a baby... All to be figured out before Ms. Lampkin becomes Mrs. Jones. 

    Jim Jones of the legendary DipSet is a rapper known around the world. And many believe his career is ready to be taken to a new level. It's been years since his last chart topper and his volatile nature is no secret in the industry. Jim and his fiancé disagree on his path back to success. He thinks he can do it alone and she thinks he needs a partner who can help guide him. 

    Nancy "Momma" Jones is still up to her old tricks and has more up her sleeve. Ever hustling, she's looking to launch her own perfume, clothing line and liquor. Mimicking her son's fame she now wants her own reality show. Only a year after breaking into the 'granny rap' scene, Nancy's relationship with her long-standing friend and music producer Freddie Robinson is on the rocks. Momma has begun cutting him out of deals and he's geared up to ask. "Where's my money!?" At the moment her rocky relationship with her future daughter-in-law Chrissy is at a serene place but drama lurks around the corner. Nancy is still harboring resentment for Chrissy not giving her a grandchild and is using this energy to nitpick her gripes with the newly engaged. 

    Stylist Emily Bustamante is still Chrissy's main confidante and is the biggest supporter of Jim and Chrissy tying the knot. Chrissy's engagement represents everything Emily ever wanted from her own rapper boyfriend and baby daddy Fabolous. She's given up her stance on independence and has moved back in to Fab's house. This year, she is attempting to refocus her energy towards her own career. 

    Talia Coles, fashion stylist to the hip hop stars, has recently joined forces with team Chrissy. Her main gig is styling and designing original jackets for Trey Songz. She and Chrissy bond over their love of bling and fashion and aspire to one day go into business together. 

    In this 8 episode series, Jim & Chrissy will attempt to find their way. How does the image of a stable family rack up alongside the unpredictable world of the music industry. Chrissy steers through the waters of commitment, disappointment and career. Jim will learn from his past and push forward, or sink as his own worst enemy ... on Chrissy & Mr. Jones.

Shaunie O'Neal Evelyn Lozada

Basketball Wives‘ fifth season is already under way, and now Shaunie O’Neal and Evelyn Lozada have divulged a few more tidbits about what to expect this season on the show. Though no official casting has been confirmed, Shaunie mentioned that there will be a new face on the show, someone “that’s really good friends with Evelyn [Lozada] and myself.” She also explained the off-camera relationships she has with the rest of the cast, saying that aside from Evelyn, she only sees the other ladies during filming. “Evelyn and I keep in contact and we do stuff together throughout the year, but when it comes to everybody else, it’s kinda like we just get together when it’s time to do a show,” she says.

And Evelyn also confirmed that despite the controversial drama of last season, she just hopes for a more calm situation for season five. “We never go into a season saying, ‘Hey, well this is what we’re going to do. I know it’s been—especially last season was a little crazy, but we kinda just go with the flow. We’re hoping it’s smooth rolling next season,” she explains. Time will tell, they’ve only shot the show for a few days, and we’re excited to see how this season plays out.

Okay, okay. So we know that Taylor Swift is not exactly the most proficient beatboxer out there--as evidenced in February of this year with 2012 Grammy host LL Cool J, in which he nearly fell down laughing at her game, uh, lame, attempts to scratch and click.

CT Launches 4 Startup Hubs

George Vasilopoulos, one of several entrepreneurs at The Grove in New Haven

Entrepreneurs like being around other entrepreneurs. At least, that’s the idea behind the creation of four startup hubs that opened at the end of last month.

“We’ve learned that entrepreneurs want to be in places with the best networks – be they technical, financial or social – which enable them to explore and test great ideas and to find the partners, attract the investment, and connect with the customers they need to grow,” Catherine Smith, commissioner of the Department of Economic and Community Development, said in a press release last month

Stars in Tax Trouble: Life's Not So 1040EZ - (Getty)

1130_lindsay_irs_01

As if she weren't royally screwed enough ... Lindsay Lohan's tax problems have become so extreme ... the IRS has seized ALL of her bank accounts in order to repay her massive outstanding debt.

As we reported, Uncle Sam has filed tax liens against Lindsay for the years 2009 and 2010 -- claiming she owes $233,904 in unpaid federal taxes.

Charlie Sheen generously paid Lindsay $100,000 to help alleviate Lindsay's 2009 tax problem -- but we're told Charlie's check barely scratched the surface ... because Lindsay also owes money for 2011.

The IRS has given Lindsay ample time to pay up -- but the Man's tired of waiting ... so we're told the IRS has seized ALL her bank accounts in order to settle her debt.

Sources close to Lindsay tell TMZ, she's in full-on panic mode about her financial situation, and is desperately trying to make some cash to get out of the red.

In its long-running battle with Pandora over royalty payments for streaming songs, the record business dispatched its most potent weapon – prominent musicians – to Capitol Hill this week. Before last Wednesday's hearing about the Internet Radio Fairness Act, which Pandora is backing to correct what its executives call an "astonishingly high royalty burden," five of the world's top songwriters showed opposition to the bill with microphones, guitars and a piano at the Rayburn House Office Building. Linda Perry played "Beautiful," the hit she wrote for Christina Aguilera, and declared: "Pandora wants to make money – more money – off the thing we created."

The House bill pits the Internet-radio giant, which had 60 million listeners in the last 30 days, and its supporters against a business that has been devastated over the past decade by piracy and a shift from $18 CDs to 99-cent downloads. The bipartisan bill's sponsor, Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), argued: "Internet radio should be a boon to the entire audio market, but instead it's barely hanging on." But Rep. John Conyers (D-Michigan) said it "would cut royalties and deprive artists of the fair-market value of their work."
