Wednesday Roundup
As some fans may know, R&B star Usher and his ex-wife Tameka Foster are in the middle of a nasty custody battle over their two children. What some may not know, is that Usher reportedly slept with two of Tameka's bridesmaids and Tameka has reportedly gone through nine nannys. In addition, Usher may sell their home as long as he give Tameka sixty days notice. According to radaronline, Pooch Hall and Tia Mowry have been fired from the BET show "The Game". Mediatakeout.com is reporting that the two were promised more money, but when the show moved to BET, BET reneged. Rumor also has it that other cast members may be leaving the show as well. Stay tuned as this story develops. The first masseur who sued actor John Travolta for sexual assault has dropped his case against the star. However, the second man to file suit is sticking to his story about the actor behaving inappropriately during a massage. Still no word on a court date. Rapper DMX has released a new mixtape titled "The Weigh In", while R Kelly will release the follow-up to his 2010 album "Love Letter" on June 26. The album will reportedly be titled "Write Me Back". Rapper/producer Pharrell Williams continues to build his business empire. The star has inked a deal for a social networking site in connection with Facebook. No word on when the site will be launched. Rapper T.I. has several projects in the works. During an interview with Hot 97's Angie Martinez, the King of the South revealed that he'll release his highly anticipated eighth studio album "Trouble Man" on September 4. The new season of his reality series "T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle" will begin on September 3 Meanwhile, he's been a mentor to female rap upstart Iggy Azalea and executive produced B.o.B's sophomore album "Strange Clouds" and released a mixtape "F*** Da City" in January. Tip will also be busy building his resume as an actor with several roles in the works. There's also a possibility he will continue his role as a writer after the release of his first book, "Power & Beauty" last October. The father of Lauryn Hill's children, Rohan Marley has confirmed that he's set to marry a Brazilian model soon. Meanwhile, Hill will hopefully, release new music soon. Rock The Bells 2012, taking a cue from Coachella 2012, has moved from being a one day event to a two day event. Kicking off on August 18 in San Beradino CA, the annual Rock the Bells event will continue through August 19 before jumping to the next cities, Mountain View CA, on August 26 and 27 and Homdel, NJ on September 1 and 2. Another interesting change for this year's show, which will be hosted by producer RZA and underground rap god Supernatural, is that many of the top-billed acts are newcomers. Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Missy Elliott and Timberland are among the artists scheduled to perform. Tickets go on sale this Friday. The top three finalist perform on Fox's "American Idol" tonight. Only time will tell what will happen as the contestants compete for the grand prize.
