Hush, Hush, Pass: Kanye Sued, Foxy Brown Warned, Jada Pinkett Smith Donates
Kanye West is the latest rapper to get sued. Former motorcycle daredevil Evel Knievel filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court that "accuses West of trademark infringement and unauthorized use of Knievel's image" in his video for "Touch the Sky." Knievel claims that the vid featuring Pamela Anderson and Nia "Motherf---ing" Long is vulgar, sexual, and racially charged and tarnishes his image. Evel is seeking to halt future showings of the video and millions in damages. Now, we ain't saying he a golddigger, but he ain't messing with no broke, broke...
A Manhattan judge is po'ed that Foxy Brown has not cooperated with her P.O.'s and has threatened the rap diva with jail time for violating her probation. Fox Boogie is on three years probation for throwing 'bows at two manicurists but she "has missed probation appointments, failed to take required drug tests and not enrolled in an anger management course." Brown's defense is that she didn't feel safe amongst the common criminals at her first probation appointment without security, but she subsequently passed two drug tests and is supposed to start the anger management class next week. However, despite her excuses the judge wasn't hearing her and issued a stern warning that she get it together or get put in jail.
Jada Pinkett Smith may not be acting much lately but she has become quite the philanthropist. She recently donated $1 million to her alma mater, the Baltimore School for the Arts. The money has been earmarked for renovation and expansion of the high school and Pinkett is asking that the school's theater be dedicated to former classmate Tupac Shakur.

Miss Will has demonstrated her love for her slain rapper-friend, Tupac Shakur.Am only hoping the Men In Black at Baltimore's Prestigious school of Arts accept her request.Tupac was more of an actor than an artiste.His talent on the silver screen was incredible.He deserves it.Tupac foreever!!!!!!!!!!!!
