DIDDY TO GET HIS STAR ON HOLLYWOOD'S WALK OF FAME...SINCE HIS CHECK CLEARED.
Uh, how is this a surprise when he had to pay for his star? To those of you who aren't aware: any celebrity who is 'honored' by 'receiving' a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame must first submit a request to do so. Not only that, but they also have to pay $25,000 (which is milk money to the majority of them) of their own money in order to 'receive' a star. There's no member in the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce who stands up at a board meeting and says, 'Here, here, uh, well I propose we give such and such star this time next year. He/she has done a lot of great things...yada, yada, yada..' No. It's up to the celebrities and/or the folks who work for them to say, 'Well, I consider myself good enough to have my own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I have 25 grand to pay for it. Why not?' Then, if the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce agrees...
Don't believe me? AFTER THE JUMP, take a look at an excerpt from the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce in regards to receiving a star.
Surprised and honored my ass.
CRITERIA FOR STAR ON THE WALK OF FAME.
1. Professional achievement
2. Longevity of five years in the field of entertainment
3. Contributions to the community
4. The recipient must agree to attend the dedication ceremony.
5. In case of a fan nomination, a letter of agreement must be sent by celebrity management.
6. There is a five-year waiting period after death for nominations of deceased individuals. The Committee does not necessarily select posthumous honorees each year.
--The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce makes every effort to schedule a dedication ceremony on the date requested by the honoree. A 60-day lead period is needed for required permits, the manufacturing of the star, and advance publicity.
--Please be advised that if your nominee is selected and the induction does not take place within five years of the selection date, the nominee must be re-submitted during another voting period.
--The sponsorship fee is $25,000

YOUTUBE CLIP: BABYFACE SINGER TREY SONGZ PULLS AN AKON; SINGER ATTACKS FAN FOR THROWING ICE AT HIM.
These artists gon learn soon enough that you can not go around attacking white people all willy-nilly and whatnot. Especially on tape. That is not the business. Mess around and force them to invent a law tailor made just to place your ass in jail for a spell or two.

But believe me, I can fry some chicken too … I really clean up. I walk the dog, myself. I burp the baby. I change the diapers. I trim the tree. I’m about to get the things for the tree after this because it’s bare. … I’m super dad. And it’s only begun.” **would you like us to give you a gold star? Or maybe pin a rose on your nose? Geesh.**

'THE THINGS CELEBRITIES SAY': BEYONCE ON WHY SHE WISHED HER FATHER WASN'T DESTINY'S CHILD'S MANAGER.
--Beyonce Knowles on the public scrutiny she encounters as the lead singer of Destiny's Child from VIBE magazine's Divas Live February 2001 cover story.
Excuse me while I travel back to 2001 to say what I couldn't say back then: Girl, stop bitching and whining. It is your fault! It was you who wanted to gain as much superstardom as you could get. It was you whose intentions were to use your lead role in Destiny's Child as a stepping stone to later pursue a solo career. You thought you were nickel-slick, but I got your penny change. You weren't complaining when it was only your voice that could be heard on the first 2 DC albums. I'm surprised you didn't insist on naming the group Beyonce featuring Destiny's Child.
You knew the pros and cons of being celebrity, so don't complain about it now. Hell, I didn't even know Kelly and Michelle could sing until that Survivor album came out. You weren't complaining when you were always front and center in every video, photoshoot, television appearance and album cover, were you? I bet it took every piece of willpower you had in you to give up the middle spot once Destiny's Child became known as DC3. And last but definitely not least: you know good and well that you had everything to do with those girls being kicked out of the group. And everybody knows the only way DC will reunite will be only if YOU say so. Hell, you can do a DC reunion album and tour without your two background singers (a.k.a. Kelly and Michelle) especially when you consider the fact that you sang lead on 99.9% of every song DC has ever recorded.
Next time be careful for what you ask for. Until then, shut the fuck up and sit your ass down. Oh and FYI: just so you know--if anything ever happens to DC, good or bad, rest assured it will all your fault. And that's really all I have to say about that.

SNOOPS 9 YEAR-OLD ILLEGITIMATE SON SAYS HE WANTS 'TO GET TO KNOW MY FAMILY' & TO BE A PART OF SNOOP'S REALITY SHOW, 'FATHER HOOD.'
Snoop Dogg's secret (up until now) son, nine-year-old Julian Corrie Broadus, from Snoop's former high school jump-off, 34-year-old Laurie Holmond, has stepped forward to speak his mind on his place on Snoop's new scripted reality show, Father Hood, as well as in his life. Julian and his mom dished details of Snoop's lack of participation in Julian's life to Star magazine who has also managed to obtain paternity documents which proves Snoop is indeed Julian's son...an account that Snoop has never denied publicly. “I should be with him on the show, but I’m not,” Julian tells Star magazine. “I don’t want to be an actor; I want to be a basketball player. But I want to be on the show to get to know my family. It would be so nice for all of us to just hang out together. I hope we can do that one day.”
Holmond, who has known Snoop since they were high school students in Long Beach, California says she and the rapper had a great relationship until June of 1997 when she learned of Snoop's marriage to his current wife Shante, whom he shares three children with, on the radio. "Calvin told me I wouldn’t understand, and he was right, I wanted nothing to do with him,” Laurie tells Star magazine. However, her anger towards him didn't last long at all because three months later Laurie and Snoop found themselves hemmed up and hooked up at the La Reve Hotel in Hollywood, California. Nine months later, Laurie had given birth to Snoop's love child. “When I told Calvin I was pregnant, he said, ‘I don’t know how I’m going to tell Shante.' But when Julian was born, Calvin was right there, and he took responsibility like a man.”
