Wednesday Roundup

It looks like rapper Chief Keef won't be heading to prison until next year. The hearing regarding his probation has been pushed back until January 28. A judge wants to look at a video of an interview the rapper did to determine if he violated his probation. Rapper Lil Wayne was reportedly involved in a brawl at a Los Angeles radio station's Christmas event recently. The scuffle occurred just as he and another rapper were set to take the stage. While their were witnesses, no one was arrested. It looks like singer Rihanna will be too busy to keep up with Chris Brown. The pop star just purchased a new 25,000 sq ft home with seven bedrooms. Wonder if she'll throw a housewarming party? Oscar winner Jamie Foxx admits he's responsible for rapper Rick Ross landing the song "100 Coffins" on the soundtrack of the film "Django Unchained". He says he introduced Ross to the films director, Quinton Taratino, and the two hit if off after Taratino discovered Ross named one of his albums after an old western. Foxx produced the track, which landed on the short list of nominations for Best Original Song. Fans will be able to find out which song wins when the Academy Awards air in February. Some may or may not be aware that Nick Cannon and Kim Kardashian were once an item. Cannon says he broke it off with Kardashian after she lied to him about the infamous sex tape with singer Ray J. Of course, now everyone knows Kardashian is reportedly close to walking down the aisle with rapper Kanye West and Cannon is now married to singer Mariah Carey. A warning to ladies about botox. Mediatakeout reportedly has pictures of "Basketball Wives" star Tami Roman after a botox procedure, and the result wasn't pretty. Rumor has it that she may have been given too much of an injection. No comment from Roman. Rapper 2 Chainz recently took to Twitter to thank fans for their support after announcing that his debut album "Based On A T.R.U. Story" was certified gold, selling 500,000 copies. Congratulations. Although singer Keyshia Cole isn't the new kid on the R&B block, she recently made it clear that when it comes to her hometown, she's number 1. That's the message the singer sent promoters at for KMEL radio's House of Soul concert in Oakland when she refused to perform at the event after being asked to open for singer The Weeknd. Cole took to Twitter to let her feelings on the matter be known and made it clear she doesn't have any beef with The Weeknd, it was the principle. The radio station asked her to open for him in her hometown. Oh well. Hip hop's golden boy of 2012 has just gone Gold. "good kid, m.A.A.d. City", the critically acclaimed debut album by Kendrick Lamar was certified Gold by the RIAA. The LP sold 500,000 thousand copies on December 13, three weeks after it's debut. It also had the biggest opening week of a hip hop album this year, bowing at No 2 on the Billboard 200 with 240,000 copies sold. Lamar stated in an interview with KillerHipHop.com that he focuses on originality first and foremost. Congratulations. On the tube: "The X Factor" on Fox, "A Home For The Holidays With Rascal Flatts" on CBS, "The Middle" on ABC and "2012  Miss Universe Competition" on NBC. Happy hump day!
