Singer LAURYN HILL is expecting her fifth child with ROHAN MARLEY even though the son of reggae legend BOB considers himself to be single ( DAMN). The Fugees star, 32, has an on/off relationship with Marley, and Hill is mother to four of his seven children.

"African Queen" Singer 2face Idibia Suffers Third Shooting in 3 years

2face Idibia whose real name is Innocent Ujah Idibia was reportedly shot by unknown assailants on Thursday past in Nigeria. The 32 year old hit maker whose famous single, "African Queen" has taken the world by storm, was taken to hospital in Lagos where he is now recovering.
According to eyewitness reports, the incident occurred while 2face Idibia was en route to his FESTAC Town, Lagos home from the Murtala Mohammed International Airport. Around 3 gunmen approached the Honda vehicle the singer was in and ordered the occupants to open the doors. The witness reportedly said that it was while opening the car door that 2face Idibia was shot. This was his first time back home since winning the MOBO award on September 19.
A laptop computer that rested on his lap, minimized the impact of the bullet, and the singer bravely yelled for all other passengers in the vehicle to "Run run!" The driver of the Honda told of Idibia's bravery and also of his own injury of a gunshot to the arm.

He has 22 pellets in his thigh, because it was a local gun. But we've been able to handle the situation. We've stopped the bleeding too. What remains is to make sure there’s no infection, and we create a way for the pellets to expel themselves." The doctor also refuted rumors about the singer being flown abroad for treatment.
On Friday Idibia was slated to perform in Ghana for a concert, but his doctors say he will be unable to perform anywhere for at least another 2 weeks. The singer, who was also viciously attacked by robbers in January 2005 as well as in December 2006, is reportedly doing well.

Damn this is really serious my prayers are with you Brother for a speedy recovery!

Bookstore won't sell gay novel by Terry McMillan's Ex Jonathan Plummer

A bookstore in Oakland that caters to the African American community is refusing to sell the new book by gay author Jonathan Plummer. Plummer is the ex-husband of author Terry McMillan. McMillan's bestselling novel How Stella Got Her Groove Back was based on her relationship with Plummer, whom she met in Jamaica, and was turned into a blockbuster movie. After a very bitter divorce in 2005, McMillan publicly accused Plummer of concealing his homosexuality from her in order to get her money and a green card. Plummer denied the charges.

Plummer's novel, called Balancing Act (Simon and Schuster), is the story of a young man who meets and forms a romantic relationship with an older rich woman, but eventually realizes he is gay. Still, Plummer insists the novel is not autobiographical. "It's fiction," he said. "The best way possible to tell the [coming out] story was to do fiction, where we can elaborate on characters and embellish on their lives."

The novel is co-authored with Karen Hunter, who has also written books with Queen Latifah, the Reverend Al Sharpton, LL Cool J., and Cedric the Entertainer.

Well Terry probably done put a root on this man LOL I'm just saying.

Incarcerated Foxy Brown links up with Mavado

'Gangsta for Life,' Mavado was back in studio last week to record a track for incarcerated rapper, Foxy Brown's upcoming album, set to drop in November. So "Feisty Foxy" and the 'Gangsta for Life,' have a tentative title for the new collaboration "Fire." A report explained how Foxy planned this collaboration for some time now, shouting out Mavado on the intro and laying down her verses around 2 months ago. "Foxy had been in dialogue with my manager for some time now talking about doing the track," said Mavado. "You know Foxy's a hothead so the combination with me and her was fire!"

Mavado has been spreading his wings with collaborations with overseas acts, teaming up with Busta Rhymes, Wyclef Jean and Uncle Murder recently for songs on their albums. Sales of his album, "Gangsta For Life - the Symphony of David Brooks" have been going well, keeping him in the Billboard Reggae Top 10 since its release.

Did The Elephant Man bruk up Diddy?

It's no secret “Diddy" has a reputation for ripping of Bad Boy Artists. But it looks like he may have tried to rip off the wrong Yardie. According to an employee of Bad Boy, reggae star Elephant Man A.K.A the energy God became physically violent at a recent meeting at Bad Boy headquarters. Elephant Man and a few friends paid a surprise visit to Diddy’s offices a few days ago. that’s when all hell broke loose.

The insider explained, “The receptionist tried to stop them from going in to see Diddy, but the Energy God and crew barged into his office.” Supposedly there was a lot of commotion, and stuff was breaking ... Then security rushed in and pushed Elephant Man and his people out of the office.”

The employee claims that Diddy was shaken up by the incident and his sunglasses looked like they were bent up and I heard that his lip was busted.
