Wednesday Roundup

"Basketball Wives" star Tami Roman was rushed to Cedar Sinai Medical Center after complaining of not feeling well. It turns out she suffered a mild heart attack. She's now home and even tweeted about the incident. Writer/director/producer Spike Lee took to Twitter to spread the word about the Travon Martin case, and took things further than they should have been. He tweeted what was presumably the address of shooter George Zimmerman, the only problem was, it wasn't Zimmerman's address. It was the address of an elderly couple, who have been harassed so that they've had to move to a hotel. Music giant EMI has settled its lawsuit with Cash Money Records. Fans will recall that the label sued the Cash Money for non payment of royalties. Cash Money Records has agreed to pay up, with the two sides saying they look forward to working together on other projects. Meanwhile, producer Bangladesh has settled his suit with Lil Wayne for non payment of royalties. In other Cash Money Records news, the production duo responsible for quite a few Lil Wayne hits has inked a new deal with the rapper. Lauryn Hill fans will be happy to know that after fifteen years of waiting, the rapper/singer is finally working on the follow up to her debut "The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill" to hit stores later this year. The legal  troubles of Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder Dame Dash continue. Former artist Curren$y has filed a lawsuit against the mogul claiming he continues to profit off his music. He's seeking $1.5 million in damages. It appeared that the two were hammering out the details of a musical partnership, until news of the lawsuit. Curren$y claims his debut album "Muscle Car Chronicles" was released by Dash without a deal being worked out. Dash released a statement through his attorney saying that Dash's initial reaction to the lawsuit was surprise and that he hopes Curren$y isn't being led or pressured to make unwise decisions. No word on a court date yet. In light of the Travon Martin case, singer Chaka Khan has gathered together several singers and celebrities to record the tribute single "Super Life". It will be a remake of her 2007 hit. Appearing along with Khan on the record will be Eric Benet, "X Factor" contestant Stacy Francis, Kelly Price and Kenny Lattimore. A PSA will also be taped that will include Angela Bassett, Boris Kojoe and Terry Crews, in which they will wear white t-shirts that will read:"Fear Kills, Love Heals". The phrase was also posted online. Tennis champ Martina Navratilova was booted off ABC's "Dancing With The Stars". Be sure to tune in next week as the competition continues.
