In the meantime, Brown's ex, Rihanna, has lost an endorsement deal with Nivea. The company says it represents family values and integrity. The singer posted a picture of herself in the usual Rihanna pose and attire. No response from her or her representatives regarding the matter. Rapper Kanye West recently unveiled his ode to girlfriend Kim Kardashian, "Perfect Bitch" recently, and by all accounts, Kardashian seems pleased. West posted a tweet regarding the tune, but later deleted it. At any rate, best wishes to the happy couple. Actress Stacy Dash was rushed to the hospital and treated for dehydration. The former "Single Ladies" star is doing much better now. Actor Michael Clark Duncan is still in the hospital after suffering a heart attack. Get well soon. Singer/actress Jennifer Lopez is suing her former driver for $20 million. The gentleman reportedly wanted to take over security for Lopez, but was denied the gig. Rumor has it that the man was berated by Lopez's manager Benny Medina. So far, no comment from Lopez or anyone in her camp. Rapper Slim Thug has added author to his list of accomplishments. He's penned a new e-book, "How To Survive In A Recession". He offers primarily rappers tips on financial management.
