LIL KIM'S REPO'D BENTLEY TURNS OUT TO BE A BIG MISUNDERSTANDING + NEW ALBUM NEWS.

Rapper Lil' Kim is claiming that her car that was repossessed – in front of a New York television crew (watch video clip here)– was not meant to be taken from her as if was given as a gift, and that the whole situation was a misunderstanding. The rapper, who's real name is Kimberly Jones, was visited by repossession company Commercial Service Corps, who proceeded to hook up and haul off her silver Bentley, and claim that "she didn't wanna cooperate". The men also claimed the rapper received a warning after months of outstanding car payments on her luxury automobile. In the video clip, Kim can be heard telling the repo men her accountant would straighten out the situation before telling reporters, “Get the fuck out here, you are so fucking ridiculous!,” when asked for a comment. Today (Thursday, May 1st)Tracy Nguyen, Jone's rep, has attempted to clarify the incident. "The car was a gift, given four years ago by a well-known music producer (blogger's note: Kim once dated music producer Scott Storch who apparently stopped making payments on the Bentley). This matter is currently being resolved and is completely out of Kim's hands," Nguyen said.

In other Lil Kim news, Trackmasters, the producers working on the rapper's untitled comeback album, have described it as “a cross between [Lil' Kim's] Hardcore and [Nas'] It Was Written.” The producers say the album crosses boundaries between samples and live sounds, yielding “a sexy, but hard album” that will restore the queen to her rightful throne.

NEW CANDIDS: NAOMI CAMPBELL DOES 'UGLY BETTY'; JENNIFER HUDSON SPOTTED AT LAX AIRPORT.

Yes, there is a perfectly logical explanation as to why Naomi Campbell is dressed in hot-ass red stockings and tight-ass black spandex booty-shorts complete with a dangling belly chain. The model donned the ensemble as part of her guest-appearance on an upcoming episode of ABC's Ugly Betty. Campbell took part in a softball game, which saw Mode magazine competing against the Elle team, which was completely made up of models. Reports say that Naomi, well known for her irascible temperament, was nothing but well-behaved and professional – even digging into a big lunch and joking around with cast members. In fact, Naomi was even happy to play up to her reputation for mobile phone-throwing, and try to strike fear into her opponents as she posed in a mock-threatening manner with her mobile on the field.



=================================

NAS PULLS 'ETHER' FROM HIS LIVE SHOWS + CANDID PICS OF THE RAPPER & KELIS IN HOLLYWOOD.

Rapper Nas has taken it upon himself to pull some of his fans' favorite anthems from his live shows because he no longer has issues with fellow rappers he once 'ethercized' on records. Nas (real name Nasir Jones)admits there are some tunes he may never perform again because he has made peace with those he dissed. One fan favorite that Nas no longer plays live is Ether which is rumored to be about fellow rapper Jay-Z who is now one of Nas' closest friend. However, the friendship the rappers have developed since that turbulent lyrical beef began still doesn't keep fans from yelling at Nas to perform it during shows. The rapper says, "After the first year, there was no need to be out there yelling people's names and cursing them out... You're out there saying people's names that you've since reconciled (with)."

In the meantime and in between time, check out photos of the rapper and his wife, Kelis leaving Katsuya restaurant in Hollywood last week.

If you thought you were going to catch a weekly glimpse into the private and personal world of Jennifer Lopez's marriage to her hubby Marc Anthony and their newborn twins, Max and Emme in the form of a new untitled TLC reality show, think again. According to Lopez's pr people, the Latin beauty's new TLC show will focus on her latest business venture, not about her life as a new mother of twins and marriage to Marc Anthony as previous reports have suggested. “The recent show Jennifer Lopez plans to produce for TLC is not a reality show,” says her manager, Simon Fields. “It’s a show that will track the creation, production and eventual launch of a new fragrance. Jennifer will appear in a creative, entrepreneurial capacity and will absolutely not feature her children and family life,” Fields says, according to People.com.

There is no broadcast date set for the show, but Fields says it will premiere later this year.
