Friday Facts

Singer Beyonce isn't losing any sleep over the criticism she's received for her latest single, "Bow Down". She's inked a deal as the face of H&S's spring campaign. She also inked a deal with soft drink giant Pepsi as well. We'll have to wait and see what else she adds to her resume. Twelve years after her death, a legal battle is now brewing over late R&B star Aaliyah's music. Reservoir Media Management is suing Craze Productions alleging that Craze has been selling music from the singer's albums "Aaliyah" and  "One In A Million" on iTunes. Reservoir Media Management claims to have had the rights to the music since last year. Reservoir wants the sell of the music prohibited and compensation. The singer died on August 25, 2001 in a plane crash. Only 22 years old at the time of her death, Aaliyah's legacy lives on in R&B today. It was rumored that rapper/singer Drake would produce a posthumous Aaliyah album. He has two tattoos of the star in tribute to her. The city of Chicago continues to be rocked to it's core by gun violence. Gun shots rang out in a Gresham club at an album release party where rappers King Samson and Lil Mouse were performing. According to the Chicago Tribune, at least one gunman open fired following a fight that broke out as the party was winding down. Six shooting victims sought medical attention of their own accord. Chicago police said thousands were in the club as a chair was thrown. A security guard reported hearing gun shots, causing patrons to flee for the exits. Responding officers told the Tribune they heard several partron yell "they're shooting" and   "I'm shot" before observing several people with wounds. The party was believed to be for the aforementioned artist. Lil Mouse is known for a YouTube video where he's seen holding a gun. The video has received nearly 3 million views. Congratulations to actor/comedian Cedric The Entertainer are in order. He will be taking over as host of  "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire". No word on when his first episode will air. Ray J should know better. The reality television star was involved in a fight at Club Nokia in Los Angeles after reportedly calling a woman a fat b****. As seen in the video posted by TMZ , the fight started after Ray J called a woman  a fat b****. The woman went off on Ray J, questioning his manhood, among other things. From there an unidentified man joined the fracas and fist began to fly. Security did manage to separate the two, as Ray did get the best of his opponent. This occurred after a night of performances at the first annual West Coast Fest, which brought out Cali rap stars Too Short, E40 and Mack 10.
