Tuesday Tales

Some of the entertainment industry's hottest stars are sending thoughts and prayers to the residents of Boston after two bombings at the Boston Marathon. Snoop Dogg and Sean "Diddy" Combs are among those who've sent well wishes. Singer/rapper Lauryn plead guilty to tax evasion, but not before telling the judge she didn't pay her taxes for a three year period due to threats made against her family. She claims if she's jailed it will hinder he ability to pay the debt. She's due to be sentenced on April 22.  After joking about his recent DUI arrest on Twitter, actor/comedian Kevin Hart took to the social networking site to apologize by saying "Millions lose their lives to this. This has been a wake up call for me". Rapper Gucci Mane is being sued by a nightclub. They say he was a no show at a Halloween party, which costs them $70, 000. No comment from the Atlanta rapper. Fans in Houston will have to wait to see singer Rihanna and rapper A$AP Rocky. The singer postponed the date due to illness. Fans can hold on to their tickets as she does plan to reschedule the date. Rapper Lil Scrappy has had his checks from "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" garnished as a result of a lawsuit from booking agency Heavy Rotation. He was sued by the agency in 2010 for $72,218.68. According to the agency, they have yet to see any money from Scrappy. Since then, the amount has swelled to $108,510. 38 due to attorney fees and interest. Heavy Rotation isn't being content to wait patiently to be pay and has asked a Georgia judge to begin garnishing Scrappy's pay checks until the debt is paid off. Here's hoping the matter is settled soon. Just off a tour with Alicia Keys, R&B star Miguel performed on "Saturday Night Live" where he began with a version of his hit "How Many Drinks?". He later performed his hit "Adorn". Miguel will be performing at the Staples Center with Snoop Lion, Kendrick Lamar and Schoolboy Q. Last year the buzz at the Coachella Festival was the hologram of Tupac Shakur that showed up unexpectedly during Dr Dre's performance. This year's surprise was about a living legend. Singer R Kelly surprised fans by joining Grammy-winning indie French rock group Phoenix during their headlining set. The band backed the Pied Piper of R&B on a remix of his single "Ignition" and he later joined in on their hit "1901". R Kelly will be performing at the Staples Center on June 30 along with New Edition and The Jacksons as part of the BET Experience. On DVD: "Django Unchained", "The Hunting In Connecticut 2: Ghost of Georgia", "Dragon" and "Wings Of Life". On the tube: "Hell's Kitchen" on Fox, "NCIS: Los Angeles" on CBS, "Splash" on ABC and "The Voice" on NBC. Happy Tuesday!!
