VIDEO: RARE FOOTAGE OF BIGGIE SMALLS MURDER ON MARCH 9th, 1997

Isn't it just a crying shame that 11 years after his untimely death, the murder of Biggie Smalls has continued to go unsolved? Even when shooting was all caught on tape?

Sad. Every time I think of Biggie's death, I'm reminded of the time I saw him on BET's Rap City where he mentioned to (host) Joe Clair that he often dreamt that someone was after him, trying to kill him. And he said that it made him paranoid and spooked him out to the point where he was afraid to fall asleep. Months later, needless to say, he was dead.

Biggie's straight-to-DVD documentary Bigger Than Life which was released on August 28, 2007, is the story of (according to its synopsis on imdb.com) greatest rapper to ever pick up a mic - with his velvety flow and unparalleled rhyme style he captivated everyone from Jay Z to Tupac. Now Notorious B.I.G. is revealed. Hear the stories from his closest friends and some of the biggest names in Hip-Hop: Diddy, Method Man, Easy Mo Bee, Matty C, E-40, Raekwon, Common and more.

NEW PICS: NICOLE SHOWS OFF HER BABY BUMP IN A BIKINI; J. LO. HIDES HER PROTRUDING PREGGY (?) POUCH.

While Nicole Richie is wholeheartedly basking in the glow of her pregnancy...hey, she's around 4 months pregnant and sporting a red bikini!--judging by a couple of those pics below, Jennifer Lopez has chosen to cover up the pouch which allegedly holds her bun in the oven. I use the word 'allegedly' because although her hubby Marc released a statement claiming his wife isn't with child, In Touch magazine (who broke the news of J. Lo's speculated pregnancy earlier this week) says they're standing behind their story 100%. And it doesn't help J. Lo's case at all when 1.) her pouch mistakenly made a guest appearance at her recent Just Sweet fashion show in New York when a pic of the multi-media mogul's pronounced belly protruding through her kiwi-colored dress was snapped; and 2.) Both she and Marc were photographed conveniently obstructing the view of J. Lo's expanding waistline after arriving at the singer's album launch party in London a couple of days ago.

As if that wasn't enough, the New York Daily News is reporting that J. Lo and her mother, Guadulupe are on the outs. J.Lo has long genuflected before the lady who brought Jenny to the Block, who blessed her with beauty and that booty, and who raised her to be a survivor." She made me believe I can do anything," Jennifer once said. But now, Guadalupe has confided, the two rarely speak or see each other. So, when news of her booty-full daughter's pregnancy hit the media haywire, Guadalupe sounded almost indifferent to the prospect. "I didn't hear about it," she said coolly. You know more than I do. I don't talk to her very often. I don't see her often. [Jennifer is] very busy doing what she does."

But some wonder if something - perhaps Anthony - has come between them.

"My mum's tough," the thrice-wed Jennifer told an interviewer in 2005." I don't want to get into that because it's a little personal and she gets angry with me when I say things. But, you know, she loves me a lot, so no one's good enough."

But time will eventually tell what's the truth and what isn't, right?

NEW CANDIDS: BEYONCE & JAY-Z STROLLING THRU SOHO + BEY'S DIVA DEMANDS?

Someone must really be trying to do Beyonce in because I absolutely do not believe that she could ever be as rude and crude a person as some source claims she is. Beyonce's been in the game too long to just start throwing diva-tudes all of a sudden. However, this particular source told Star magazine that during some event in which Beyonce attended, the local staff were commanded to not look, speak or approach her. As a matter of fact, folks were allegedly told to get the hell out of the way and stand behind closed doors whenever they happen to see the multi-platinum star coming through.

The source went on to claim: While everything possible was being done for her, Beyonce and her people didn’t seem to be in a giving mood themselves. “Most acts will share their catered gourmet food with the backstage staff - but that wasn’t the case this time. So while Beyonce and her crew lunched on lobster tail and filet mignon, each of the local staff had to make do with a three-inch subway sandwich, an apple and a bottle of water!”

That is too funny as well as unbelievable!

IN TODAY'S EDITION OF 'THIS HEFFAH, HERE.' ADRIENNE CURRY: 'HOW DARE WE HAVE A BLACK HISTORY MONTH!'

Have you ever read something someone has said that was so outrageous and unbelievable, it made you wanna just throw your hands up in frustration and exclaim to anyone within earshot and yell out, 'No, she didn't?! This heffah, here!' Well, that's what I did while skimming through a messageboard that I happen to read on a daily basis. I absolutely could not believe the fonts that sat in front of my eyes as I read, Adrienne Curry's, the first winner of America's Next Top Model, views on why she believes the Native Americans deserved to have their own month dedicated to their race, why folks should boycott Black History Month AND B.E.T., why it's racist that only African-Americans have a month dedicated to their race and why it's racist for African-Americans to have a network channel dedicated to just African-Americans.

I can't sit here and voice my true feelings about her comments, because if I do, it would take up an entire page. Read it for yourselves and draw up your own conclusions. Does she have a valid point? Below are a few unedited excerpts from her myspace page.

Adrianne’s myspace blog entry: “This is gonna be hard guys. I LOVE the comedians on BET. I also LOVE the fact that they play my favorite show of all time, In Living Color. However, I do not believe in seperating ANY RACE in America. WE ARE AMERICANS! How dare we have Black History Month! In my eyes, the Native Americans deserve it MUCH more, seeing how we destroyed their ENTIRE SOCIETY. There are hardly any of them left! They also have been proven to have the WORST living conditions on their reservations. I want AN AMERICAN HISTORY MONTH. One where we learn about EVERY race, ALL OF OUR LEADERS, EVERYONE! I think by having a month dedicated to one race, and not one for any other, is RACIST. Every fund set up to only help people of one race is SICK and RACIST. Every fund set up to only help people of one race is SICK and RACIST. It’s time for us to UNITE AS ONE. I do not think that singling out one race, giving one race opportunities to go to college (I know a TON of poor white.asian, indian, american indian, etc etc that could use that too!), giving one race the EXCUSE to blame things on others for being whatever nationality they are, is a good way at making sure we NEVER kill racism.

If any other race had a chanel dedicated to just them, we would think it was racist. If any other race demanded a month be set aside for ONLY them, they would be considered racist. I am NOT living by this double standard any longer.

So, I will no longer tune into BET. This is going to suck, but I do NOT like the idea of having a chanel for only 1 race. In the year 2007 in a country that is supposed to be the most advanced and equal. This is unexceptable! I will also no longer acknowledge Black History Month. Instead, I will see it the way that Morgan Freeman does (I have the quote at the bottom of my last blog on Obama/jesseJackson, and OJ). AMERICAN HISTORY MONTH! I will read/watch/and learn about ALL the people who made a difference in this country.

Think I am racist? I am not. I know what racism is. I dated a guy named “Justin” in Junior high. Nothing serious, but I really liked him. He was the blackest of black…BEAUTIFUL skin, kinda like Alex Wek’s. He was handsome, and athletic, etc. I was called a ****** lover. But you know what? I was called that by a whole 2 people out of a school with HUNDREDS of students. THAT is why I am NOT buying this racist s*** anymore. Let us teach or children that there is NO DIFFERENCE! We are all human. I hope one day aliens land and try to kill us. Maybe THEN we would finally realize that WE are ONE.

Lets change Black History Month to 2 months of AMERICAN HISTORY. We will still learn about all the black leaders and people who made a difference....just not with the racist name of "Black History Month". It has to start somewhere. I am going to do my part in making sure we are all treated EQUAL in a country that CLAIMS we are. NO MORE SPECIAL TREATMENT FOR ANYONE WITH ANYTHING!

PRINCE: IN ALL OF HIS SATIN and/or SILK GLORY!

Find me a straight man who can pull off wearing a Prince-inspired ensemble...without looking like as gay as a picnic basket on a sunny day, and I'll give you my firstborn child. Good luck. Cause as far as I'm concerned only Prince Roger Nelson--at the ripe old...excuse me, young age of 49--can work this immaculate set-up....and get away with it. From the hairstyle all the way down to the 2-inch heels. Check out the pint-size pop legend as he arrives--with a couple of twins who are 9 times out of 10 not even 25 years old--at the Golden Age of Couture Gala.

PHOTOSHOOT PICS: R&B SINGER AMERIE & THE SILVER BULLET SITTING ON CHROME.

Here's a undated photoshoot featuring Amerie and a silver Lincoln Navigator...at least that's what I think it is....or is is an Expedition? I get those two mixed up all the time. Whatever. Not too much of a SUV gurl. LOL! I swear if there's '1 Thing' this girl knows how to work...it's those infamous long and toned legs of hers! I can't even hate! Do your thang, 'Merie! Anywoo, when I came across these pics (about a month ago!), I immediately thought of my boy, KOK (King Of Kings over there on RPMB). Dude loves himself some Amerie! This one's for you, KOK!

Now as for what's actually going on with Amerie musically: although the 27-year-old singer's latest album, Because I Love It has only been circulating the market for a couple of months--which is news to me because I didn't know it had been released at all--the songbird, who hails from a mixed parentage (African-American father and Korean mother), says she's already at work on her next album. I know, right? Wow.

There's more pics after the jump!

BRITNEY SPEARS CHARGED IN HIT-AND-RUN ACCIDENT

Poor Brit can't seem to catch a break these days. She must feel like a walking, talking body of bad luck. I guess she also feels like she can do anything she wants to do--legally and illegally--and get away with it. Can someone please tell me how you could NOT know that you have NEVER had a valid license in the state in which you live?

Read on:

Britney Spears's bad month just got worse: She has been charged with hit-and-run causing property damage and driving without a valid license, the Los Angeles City Attorney said Friday. If convicted on both misdemanor charges, she faces up to a year in jail, City Attorney's spokesman Frank Mateljan tells PEOPLE. The charges stem from a fender-bender in a store parking lot on Aug. 6. Spears, 25, made a wide, right turn into a parking space and scraped another car's bumper. (The incident was captured on video by celeb photo agency X17.) "According to the DMV, Ms. Spears was never issued a California license – ever," Mateljan says.

The other car's owner filed a police report at a North Hollywood station.

Her arraignment is set for Oct. 10 in a Van Nuys, Calif., court.

Pasadena attorney Richard Hutton, best known for representing Paris Hilton in her probation-violation case earlier this year, says California residents must get a California driver's license within their first 10 days as a resident. Spears has been pulled over several times in recent years with being cited for the license violation. Hutton (who is not involved in the Spears case) says it's possible officers were persuaded she maintains a residence in Louisiana and legitimately considers herself more a Louisiana resident than a California resident.

Overall, Hutton says, the charges are "minor stuff" and Spears could escape with a fine and probation.

The charges are just the latest headache for Spears, who earlier this week was ordered by a judge to undergo random drug tests. The judge in her custody fight with Kevin Federline found that she is a "habitual, frequent and continuous" user of alcohol and controlled substances, and now must submit to random twice-weekly testing.
