Super producer Jazze Pha was spotted partying it up with Ciara during her 25th birthday celebration in Atlanta last week.
As you know, Jazze was on a weight loss mission early this year and shed about 70 or so pounds back in July (photo on the right), it appears he’s gained almost all back.
There was speculation that Jazze’s seemingly quick transition was a sign of weight loss surgery, but I guess this puts that rumor to rest.
Jazze’s weight loss inspired a lot of people to shed the fat. I’m seriously hoping that he gets back on track soon….

As rumors continue to swirl that Monica is pregnant by her future husband, Lakers baller Shannon Brown, Mo continues making wedding plans.? As if she doesn’t have enough on her plate, Monica decided to finally but the rumors to bed.
She recently issued a statement via her publicist denying that there’s a baby on the way and explaining away her weight gain.
I am ABSOLUTELY not pregnant. Gods Grace, Great kids, Great Family and Super good love sometimes = what we in the country call happy weight. LOL.
So No worries. After more career focus time, family time and the wedding that would be a blessing to us both. [READ MORE]
OK cool. I mean… I don’t see what the big deal would be either way. She’s getting MARRIED for pete’s sake! Her being preggers wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing. Would it?
Anywhoo… now that that’s out the way, check out Mo’s “Black Girls Rock” performance under the cut: Continue Reading…

In an open letter posted online, Tip address his fans and sends love to his haters:
Thank you to all that took the time to check out my new video GET BACK UP with my homie Chris Brown. And a bigger thanks to those of you who decided to comment (good & bad).
To all of you who say ?He should practice what he preaches? and ?How could he do something so stupid?AGAIN?? You?re absolutely right and I couldn?t agree with you more.
But you know what? As history has shown us before, I find my greatest inspiration during my darkest hours.
So all fans of music, T.I. or not, should be able to agree that NO MERCY will surely be my best work yet. After all isn?t that what it?s all about? If I never went to prison, never did drugs, never f?ed up again, did everything right and never made great music?.would you even care enough to comment on T.I.? Doubt it, so bear that in mind while you jump to your conclusions guys.
Martin Luther King once said ?Notice not the comments of your enemies but the silence of your friends.? So although I?m still in touch?watching, reading and listening, I?m not concerned with what negative people say more than I am with what positive people don?t. Guess that?s enough for now? Love you all still, whether you still love me or not. REAL TALK!!!
And I would like to give a special I LOVE U to @star_omg and @tinymajormama. ? Tip (source)
As you know, Tip is currently in an Arkansas jail serving his 11 month sentence for probation violation. Judging from this letter, he seems to have accepted responsibility for his stupidity.
Maybe he really is on the path to redemption… this time.

Tameka ‘Tiny” Cottle Pleads “NOT GUILTY”
In news mainstream media doesn’t want you to know… a Georgia Lottery employee was arrested back in September 2010 and charged with possession with intent to distribute several illegal drugs & narcotics.
I’d heard the story but was surprised when not ONE media outlet picked it up. I had to dig up the mugshot on my own since apparently someone wants to keep this kind of stuff out of the public eye.
Anywhoo… Kelly Jo McGuire, a lottery sales 
representative (pictured to your right), was arrested September 7, 2010 while performing her daily route selling and servicing the lotto’s Keno game to retail locations.
McGuire visited lottery retailers daily as part of her job description but apparently she also made special deliveries of happy pills and other illegal drugs.
According to McGuire’s arrest record, she was picked up coming out of a Canton Rd. store in Marietta and a search of her employer issued lottery van yielded a stockpile of various illegal drugs.
McGuire was arrested and charged with 6 counts of possession of controlled substances and 1 count of possessing pills outside of a container. I heard she had at least 2 kilos of cocaine.
I bet there’s a lot of angry retailers out there still waiting for their “special” delivery. All I know is… can I hit the numba?
