Usher 
has secretly been stiffing the nanny ... financially ... this according to a new lawsuit obtained by TMZ.
Cecilia Duncan is suing the singer, claiming Usher hired her as a part-time nanny back in December 2010 and she worked her ass off caring for his two sons (aged 4 and 5) often exceeding 40 hours per week.
According to the lawsuit, Cecilia felt like she was being overworked without being paid overtime ... and expressed her concerns to Usher in 2011 that she was being shafted.

Oh…this is not a good rumor for Obama. But the word on the street is that the US Gov. attempted to get at Jigga Man to get to Pac’s step auntie! Remember, last month, the cops in NJ were foaming at the mouth over Assata, labeling her a terrorist like she was the female Bin Laden. Meanwhile, we still neglect that George Bush killed innocents on the premise that…nahhhhh…y’all don’t want me to get to preaching, do you!?! Anyway, America has a hard-on for Assata as she lives peacefully in Cuba.

LOS ANGELES - Grammy-winning musician Chris Brown's neighbors are unhappy with what some are calling frightening art he's chosen to have painted along the curb of his Hollywood Hills home.
A neighborhood group said the grimacing, sharp-toothed, red-eyed goblins painted along a retaining wall have been scaring local children, and is an eyesore to boot, the Los Angeles Times reported ( http://lat.ms/19cjOBY).
"There are lots of babies, lots of children, and they're literally frightened. It's like devils on the wall — big scary eyes and big scary teeth, and just the whole vibe is not what we're used to," Patti Negri, president of the Hollywood Dell Civic Association, told the newspaper

In the clip from a 2005 episode of the program, Arlene Castro, the daughter of Ariel, one of the brothers arrested in the case, said she was the last person to see DeJesus before she went missing."She gave me 50 cents to call my mom and so my mom said no that I can't go over to her house...so, I told her I couldn't and she said, 'Well okay, I'll talk to you later' and she just walked," Castro said.

If you have any interest in hip-hop and the music industry, then you definitely have heard of Damon Dash and his role during the glory days of Roc-A-Fella Records. His relationship with former business partner and friend Jay-Z has been subject to countless rumors and speculations. However, he has since moved on with his life, launching the DD172 media collective, running a successful fashion brand with ex-wife and fashion designer Rachel Roy, opening up art galleries, and many other ventures. We had the chance to meet up with this interesting personality while he was in Hong Kong for the gallery opening of the adidas Collide Project. During the past few years, he's been quite active in the Far East after his friend and business partner, Shelly Pecot – now DD172's Asia representative – relocated to the continent. In our conversation with him, we touched upon a range of subjects that included his relationship with China, his current view on the music industry, and the delicate symbiosis between business and true artistry.

After the Florida legislature's most recent session failed to produce public assistance to refurbish Sun Life Stadium, the Dolphins' home, Dee painted a grim picture for the future of the Dolphins in Miami.

They say that any given man can beat any other given man on any given night. This was not the night for Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero.
To most of us sitting at the MGM Garden watching the fight, it played out exactly as expected. It was a lop-sided win with Guerrero only winning three out of twelve rounds. It was basically a sparring session. A very pricey one.
Money Mayweather picked up $30+million for a very easy workout. Guerrero scored over $3 mill. Not a bad day at the office. The loss did not really hurt The Ghost and the win didn’t really do much for the Mayweather Legacy either. But they both walked out happy.
