September 18, 2008. People close to R&B singer Keyshia Cole are speculating that she might be pregnant. According to one of MediaTakeOut.com's snitches, Keyshia has already begun ratcheting down her aggressive work schedule and is taking daily does of folic acid - a common supplement for pregnant women.

Tells the insider, "Everyone is whispering around here, but no one knows for sure. And we wouldn't dare ask Keyshia herself."

If she is pregnant, the father is likely her current boyfriend - who also servers as her personal trainer. The two have been dating steadily for almost 3 months.

Beenie Man Wins Tax Case

October 1, 2008
Started By steppz3 Comments
findImg.php?pic_size=200&table_name=news_img_tab&table_field=img_id&img_id=1849 Dancehall superstar Beenie Man has won his multi-million dollar tax case against the government. Beenie Man whose real name is Moses Davis was freed of tax evasion charges Tuesday after senior magistrate Owen Parkin upheld no case submissions by the artiste's attorney.

Attorney Roderick Gordon found a gaping hole in the government's case during his submissions and successfully highlighted the flaws. He argued that the Notice of Assessment which claimed that the DJ owed the government more than 40 million dollars in outstanding income taxes was improperly drafted.

The court was told that the Notice as stipulated under section 75 of the Income Tax Act failed to inform the artiste of his basic rights. Beenie Man was not informed that he had the right to object to the assessment and to seek audience with the Commissioner of Taxes to challenge the amount.

The Notice served only informed the DJ that he owed the 40 million dollars and that he was required to pay the outstanding sum. He was also not informed that he had 30 days within which to reply to the notice of assessment.

After hearing the submissions, Mr. Parkin agreed that Beenie man wasn't properly informed of his rights and ordered his release.

Tuesday's ruling ended months of anxiety for Beenie man who was faced with a $47 million tax bill. Revenue officials hauled him before the Tax Court claiming that for several years he failed to pay over taxes to the government.

But the artiste insisted that his former management company, Shocking Vibes, was responsible for paying his taxes.

Question: Can Men Have Multiple Orgasms?

"Ive heard that men can have multiple orgasms but dont really understand how this could work. Once I come theres nothing I can do but wait until I get hard again. Is this an urban legend, or is it just something some guys can do but others cant?"

Answer:

Its definitely not an urban legend; although male multiple orgasms do sometimes take on something of a mythic quality (take, for example, Sting).

The good news is that men can, do, and have had multiple orgasms for thousands of years. Taoist teachings on sexuality that go back farther than that give explicit instruction for men on how they can experience multiple orgasms. Western sex researchers have also studied this experience in men and found clear physiological evidence that it happens. Also, it seems that many men can learn to have multiple orgasms.

The sort-of bad news? Learning to have multiple orgasms takes a fair bit of time and practice. Also, multiple orgasms means that you are having a series of non-ejaculatory orgasms, so while they arent necessarily better or worse, they are definitely different than the kind of orgasms you may be used to experiencing.

The more good news? Learning to have multiple orgasms means you will also be learning to control ejaculation, and you will learn a lot about your own sexual response, which is great news regardless of the final outcome.

jcf--emblem.gifAdamant that justice must be achieved, a female police officer is sticking to her guns in filing rape charges against a colleague of hers who allegedly sexually abused her while they worked together on duty.
Telling horror stories of rampant sexual inappropriate behaviour within the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF), the female cop explained to The Gleaner that her hellish ordeal of being raped was the climax of a long experience with sexual hara**ment that started from the beginning of the eight month training programme at Police Training School.
While quick to point out that the Twickenham Park, St Catherine-based school has some excellent instructors, the decent ones were outnumbered, according to the female officer, by those who did indiscreet things like offer sex in exchange for favourable training outcomes.
Although it was difficult to be teased and jeered constantly, because of her stance to be strictly no-nonsense in regards to the sexual advances of her male colleagues, the female officer stuck to her guns and pursued her goal of being a police officer with high integrity.
Then on the night before Hurricane Gustav, this officer was forced to have sex with a colleague who brutally ignored her pleas for him to stop.
After reporting the incident and following proper procedures of getting medical examinations and having evidence collected, the officer experienced further contemptuous reactions from colleagues who disagreed with her decision to file criminal charges on one of their squaddy [squad members].

The female officer reported feeling isolated and unsupported after reporting the incident and even has times when she senses some superiors are trying to intimidate her.
Last week however, some progress was reported, as the police officer in question was arrested and charged with an alleged rape. He has been interviewed and a ruling from public prosecutions is pending.
The female officer is now receiving the full support of the JCF and has been reassigned, while senior enforcement officers condemn the entire situation.

Cobra is 'Helter Skelter'

Cobra is Helter Skelter

On his new album, which will be officially launched this month, deejay Mad Cobra is literally the 21-track sets title.

starright_1_pqwmacobrabam.jpgIt is named Helter Skelter, the persona he adapts for the songs.

Helter Skelter is a very rough, street album, Cobra said. Only three of the 21 tracks have come out as singles, namely Gangster Flex, One Lip to a Spliff and Galang So, done with Vegas.

Cobras talent

The album has, in effect, been finished for sometime. However, in terms of being released it has been somewhat of a victim of Cobras talent, as he says I get new ideas and I write almost everyday. He decided to bring closure to the project when he wrote a song for the hot Kung Fu rhythm, making it the final entry on the set.

It will be coming out on Cobras own DJR label (named after his three children, Devante, Jordan and Rujuan). To support the set, Cobra will be travelling through Jamaica from Negril to Portland, doing not only performances but also autograph signing and meet-and-greet sessions. Then will come the Caribbean, with stops in Antigua, Trinidad, Barbados, St Lucia and The Bahamas, followed by a trek to the US.

Musical powerhouse

Among the producers who worked on Helter Skelter are Rotigan, Yellow, Mack D and Flego, much of the work done at Walkway 21, a Portmore-based production house run by Mikey Steer. Cobra has, of course, been in Portmore long before it was known as a musical powerhouse.

Helter Skelter follows Snypa Way, which Cobra said did very well and for which he is still getting requests to supply copies.

On the upcoming album, Cobra says Devils War is a c****ination between himself and the Devil, while Me and My Crew is a c****ination with Big Beast who he is banking on to be the next big star, Bedroom Gangster is about fulfilling the womens desires, Spice chipping in on Dat a Wha She Want, also firmly on the womens street.

War is about no stepping down, One Lip To a Spliff advocates that yu mus can support yu smoking habit and Cobra says when people hear Who The Cap Fits they will know who is being addressed.

Promoting violence

When The STAR asked how he responds if Helter Skelter was seen as promoting violence, Cobra said his songs are speaking to a particular character and are not about an innocent person.

Just like the movies, Cobra said, adding that if that is the situation they need to stop the silver screen.

And hard on the heels (Cobra plans for about a gap of only five months) comes Other Side of the Coin, another full-length set. The next one is more radio friendly Cobra said, adding that it is halfway completed. He said that it will have the reality side, culture, love songs, different ballads.

Kartel, Mavado War Intensifies

findImg.php?pic_size=200&table_name=news_img_tab&table_field=img_id&img_id=1847 As we approach the arrival of STING 2008 with only three months to go there seems to be no end in sight to the ongoing feud between Portmore Empire leader Vybz Kartel and the Gully god from Cassava Piece, Mavado.

Recently members of 876radio.com crossed path with both deejays at separate studio sessions and observed some very harsh verbal insults being hurled at each other on the soon to be released Beauty & The Beast Riddim produced by TJ Records.

Kartel seemingly in one of his usual militant mode recorded a track titled "Kill Dem All and Done" where he takes pot shots at Mavado his baby mother and child on the very dark and sinister sounding beat.

Mavado has also recorded a response which will be making its street debut soon.

The compilation also features Natural Bridge recording artiste and one of Jamaica's fastest rising new talent Konshens with a track entitled "I Don't Leave It" which is poised to become the breakout single of the compilation. If not a bonafide hit, it will certainly raise a few eyebrows in the industry.

Beenie Man cleared of tax evasion in Jamaica

A Jamaican judge has cleared Grammy-winning musician Beenie Man of tax-evasion charges, saying the government never informed him of his legal rights.

Jamaican authorities have said the singer and rapper owed nearly US$1 million in overdue taxes.

But Judge Owen Parkin threw out the case Tuesday, ruling evidence showed the entertainer was not informed of his rights when auditors issued their assessment last year.

The singer's real name is Anthony Moses Davis. The Kingston native has been one of the biggest names in dancehall music for a decade. In 2001, he won a Grammy for his album "Art and Life."

UnhappyCabbies.gifExtortion has reportedly silenced some taxi drivers of Central Village, St Catherine who have been seeped in fear following the recent killing of 29-year-old Christopher 'Tupac' Campbell from what is speculated to being failure to comply with extortionists requests.

Di man dem seriousmi pay up my money, yu know, a taxi operator told The Star, as he explained taxi drivers predicament of having to pay a road tax to heavily armed lawbreakers in that area.

Drivers who have lived in constant fear for months now, told reporters that it is common to fork over from $2,500 to as much as $5,000 weekly to the hoodlums, depending on what relationship they have developed with their oppressors.

Claiming fear for their lives, taxi drivers have not gone to police in the Central Village area with formal complaints, although officers reportedly disclosed having heard of the racket.

Not wanting to be identified as informers, drivers keep on complying with the ruthless extortionists demands because according to one driver, a man nuh tek informa ting light.

Deva is a Pervert!

Members of the Portmore Empire have lashed out at deejay Deva Bratt for his repeated attempts to discredit the organisation.

portmore_empireA.jpg"Deva must stop trying to look a hype, if it wasn't for the Teacha, there would be no Portmore Empire. Deva get himself into a situation because him mek some poor choices and now him a try bring down the organisation that push him into the public's face," one member said.

Other members suggested that Deva was a 'pervert', a sick youth who could not control his sexual urges and that he should try to deal with his problem before he went around making statements that he cannot prove.

"If him tek this route, him only ah go kill him hand, him fi realize that this is not about him. The organisation is about business, this is nothing personal against Deva Bratt, him need fi sort out him legal problems and den build back, but if him do this, me caan be his friend," another one said.

"If him diss Teacha, Deva nah go have no career, anno Teacha tell him fi go jail pon two carnal abuse charge, ah just because mi nuh waan talk who Deva Bratt really is...him fi just easy himself and be a soldier."

In the meantime, Vybz Kartel has remained calm and collected in the face of Deva's stinging allegations, only denying that he ever did a song that made specific reference to Deva Brat as a rapist.

He issued a statement through his publicist that said: "The Portmore Empire is a registered trademark of Adidjaheim Records and was registered almost two years ago with the Jamaica Intellectual Property Office (JIPO). All Portmore Empire artistes are signed to Adidjaheim Records, and only signed artistes are accorded certain privileges."

The release further stated that the Portmore Empire does not associate itself with anyone who is involved with any case of carnal abuse or exploitation of women.

"Deva Brat was not kicked out of the Empire, he never signed, so he was never officially in the Empire. He is a troubled youth, mi see him diss up Zabrick and the yutes dem around him when him de Highlanders rounda Wong...and when him say Empire, him get the chance fi buss and dash it way," one high-ranking member said.

Deva Bratt hopes to make bail on the second carnal abuse charge by Christmas. He told One876Entertainment.com that he would be out by Christmas.

"When me come out, things ah go different, right now, people line up round the block fi bail me. When mi come out, yu ah go see everything," he promised.

Alliance selector Boom Boom is warning fellow selector Richie Feelings to stop making allegations about him.

At the recent B**** Dem Fridays, held in Golden Spring in St Andrew, it was an upset Boom Boom who took to the microphone to vent his anger. During his stint, he said Richie Feelings had reported him to the police and he was warning him to stop talking about him.

Boom Boom said he went to Bembe Thursdays about two weeks ago and a policeman told him that Richie Feelings had gone to the Grants Pen Police station and made a report about him.

"When mi go a Bembe, a police stop mi at di gate and ask mi how mi seh mi a go shoot up Bembe. Him seh Richie Feelings mek di report," Boom Boom told THE STAR. "Mi nah tell no lie, and mi fren dem did deh deh as witness."

However, Richie Feelings denies knowledge of this report or of having a rift with Boom Boom.

"No, sah! Dat new to mi, 'cause me and him nuh have nutten. Him maybe have a problem wid me, but mi nuh have a problem wid him," said Richie Feelings.

Boom Boom also said Richie Feelings had been saying he needed to apologise to him before he was allowed to play at Bembe Thursdays again.

"Dis a news to mi. Currently, mi and him nah talk like dat. So, if me and somebody nah talk, mi nah go beg fren fi him come play a Bembe," he told THE STAR. "I don't have a problem if him play a Bembe. If mi did have a problem mi woulda tell yuh 'cause mi nuh response."

Since Richie Feelings' allegations, Boom Boom said he saw Richie Feelings when he went to a liquor store but they did not confront each other.

"Dem (friends) just seh mi fi leave him alone. But a so him waan dirty up mi name and give people the impression seh mi is a badman," said Boom Boom. photos

Woman who goes blind every three days

September 30, 2008
Started By babyblue816 Comments
Melbourne, September 30 (ANI): Doctors in Melbourne have been perplexed by an unusual condition of a woman whose eyes clamp shut for three days at a time, and then open up for the next three.
Natalie Adler, 21, has been experiencing such an extraordinary routine for the past four years.
Specialists think that Natalie might be the only person in the world with this kind of condition. 

"My eyes are closed for three days and then open for three days," news.com.au quoted Natalie, of Caulfield South, as saying.
"Something happens overnight (on the third night). I go to bed and I can open my eyes, and then when I wake up the next day I can't. Nobody knows why," she added.
She even revealed that she had undergone hundreds of tests ever since she was a school kid in mid-year 11.
"I woke one Sunday and my eyes were swollen. It was the day before an English exam," she said.
She further said that after a sinus and staph infection, "I just never got better".
"My eyes started closing intermittently, really randomly, but within a few weeks they were closing for three days," she added.

Associate professor Justin O'Day, head of the neuro-ophthalmology unit at the Royal Eye and Ear Hospital, said: "Natalie's a mystery. She's a one-off and we don't have a diagnosis."
The doctor said that a condition called blepharospasm, random muscle spasms forcing the eyes closed, offered some point of reference, but there was no medical explanation for the strict consistency of Natalie's eye routine.
"It's unusual to see somebody with this degree of spasming and eyelid closure, especially at this age. There is no known cause," he said.
Botox injections around the eyes worked temporarily for Natalie, changing her six-day eye cycle to five-days open, one-day closed for almost two years.
The woman who suffers unexplained fatigue and nausea, however, now says that Botox no longer worked for her.
During "closed-eye days", Natalie's eyes are completely shut, except for a small slit in her left eye. On "open-eye days", they function normally, though the left eyelid can droop.
Her parents, Fred and Lillian, said that they were proud of the way their daughter had been enduring her problems.
"Natalie's always saying there are a lot of other people worse off than she is," Fred said.
Natalie, whose next treatment will include electrical stimulation of the eyes, has not given up hope of a cure.
"The tests give me a glimmer of hope," she said. (ANI)

SWEET POISON! BE AWARE....

Splenda side effects

Observational evidence shows that there are side effects of Splenda, including skin rashes/flushing, panic-like agitation, dizziness and numbness, diarrhea, muscle aches, headaches, intestinal cramping, bladder issues, and stomach pain. These show up at one end of the spectrum in the people who have an allergy or sensitivity to the sucralose molecule. But no one can say to what degree consuming Splenda affects the rest of us.
If this sounds familiar, it should: we went down the same path with aspartame, the main ingredient in Equal and NutraSweet. Almost all of the independent research into aspartame found dangerous side effects in rodents. The FDA chose not to take these findings into account when it approved aspartame for public use. Over the course of 15 years, those same side effects increasingly appeared in humans. Not in everyone, of course but in those who were vulnerable to the chemical structure of aspartame.
As food additives, artificial sweeteners are not subject to the same gauntlet of FDA safety trials as pharmaceuticals. Most of the testing is funded by the food industry, which has a vested interest in the outcome. This can lead to misleading claims on both sides.
But one thing is certain: some of the chemicals that comprise artificial sweeteners are known hazards the degree to which you experience side effects just depends on your individual biochemistry. Manufacturers are banking on the fact that our bodies wont absorb very much of these compounds at any one time. And many of us dont. But what happens when we are ingesting a c****ination of artificial sweeteners like Splenda dozens of times a week through many different lowsugar or sugarfree products?
People have been using artificial sweeteners for decades. Some react poorly, some dont the problem is, you never know until youre already sick. Scientists are calling Splenda a mild mutagen, based on how much is absorbed. Right now, its anyones guess what portion of the population is being exposed to the dangers of Splenda or already suffering from Splenda side effects. Until an independent, unbiased research group conducts long-term studies on humans (six months is hardly long-term!), how can we be certain? With all the new Splenda products on our shelves, it looks as if we are now in the process of another grand public experiment without our permission. And we may not know the health implications for decades. As with all things, time will unveil truth.
So I urge you to be concerned about the potential dangers of Splenda as with any unnatural substance you put in your body. And I am especially concerned about its use for children, which I recommend you avoid. But unlike many holistic practitioners, I do think artificial sweeteners can serve a purpose for some women. And that has to do with the old question which is better, sugar or an artificial sweetener?
 
Lets start with sugar.

Mr Longing For Jah Cure, has a blessed bundle of joy on the way, but he seems to be peeved that 20 year old Gardinia is insistent on blabbing the news to anyone who will listen.
Wanting to keep this bit of his life private, Jah Cure is constantly at odds with his expected childs mom who he blames for spreading the news.
Gardinia however, has told Yardflex sources that she is not having a happy pregnancy, since many people are hara**ing her as a result of her being pregnant for Jah Cure. Besides being heckled at times, the cute party girl has also had the word slut written on her Oaklands apartment door; allegedly by some jealous and irate female fans.
I cant stand him no more he called me talking crap... Gardinia told our source who also said Jah Cure denied the child was his at first considering its moms affinity for the party scene. However, he has no choice now but to acknowledge what he knows deep down is a reality, the source said.
We a wonder what is wrong with young girls...why are they terrorizing Gardinia? They need to leave her alone.

Man sues after willy is cut off

A MAN woke from a circumcision operation to discover surgeons had chopped off his WILLY. Furious Philip Seaton is suing doctors in the US after claiming he did not give surgeons consent to cut off his manhood. Surgeons at the hospital in Kentucky said they had to take the drastic action after discovering a life-threatening cancer. Mr Seaton is suing after claiming he suffered mental anguish, pain, and has lost the enjoyment of life. Mr Seaton, from Tennessee, and his wife said two doctors amputated his penis without his consent last October, and have filed a lawsuit. The lawsuit states doctors had consent to "perform a circumcision and only a circumcision" but that Mr Seaton did not consent to his penis being removed. Mr Seatons solicitor Kevin George said the surgeons should not have acted so quickly. Mr George said: Sometimes you have an emergency and you have to do this, but he could have very easily closed him up and said, Here are your options. You have cancer. The family would have said We want a second opinion. This is a big deal.

Boy accidentally kills 3-year-old sister with licensed gun

Sunday, September 28, 2008

GLEN Green last spoke to his three-year-old daughter Gabrielle yesterday morning. She called him and said she had something to tell him which she couldn't tell anyone else.

But before Glen got to hear the secret, he got news that his baby girl, also called Gabby, was dead. She had been shot in the face.

A distraught Orinthia McCalla, grandmother of three-year-old Gabrielle 'Gabby' Green who died at hospital yesterday, is comforted by close friends of the family. The little girl was accidentally shot by her eight-year-old brother at their home in Independence City, Portmore yesterday. (Photo: Garfield Robinson)

Even more tragic was that the fatal blow was dealt by the girl's eight-year-old brother as the two played innocently with a loaded gun.

"She call mi and say 'daddy hurry up an come home because mi have something to tell yuh, an mi nuh waan tell nuhbaddy else'. An mi sey it so strange because yesterday (Friday) mi an har and har mother go buy some tings and she just stuck on to me. She nuh lef me. Mi carry har go shop an she say 'daddy mi want dis', an mi buy dem give har. An now mi nuh get fi hear wha shi did waan say," he said, using a black handkerchief to wipe the tears that had welled up and were streaming down his face.

And although the impact on the father and other relatives must be unbearable, it is Gabby's brother whose memory will perhaps be forever haunted.

When the Sunday Observer visited the house where he lived with his sister, mother and maternal grandmother in Independence City, Portmore near midday yesterday, he was crying uncontrollably.

He sat at the feet of his grandmother, Orinthia McCalla, laid his head in her lap and wept sorrowfully. He is only eight, but he knew what had happened. He knew his sister had died. He knew he had accidentally caused it.

"Ah [him] mi sorry fah," one woman said. "Di poor thing look like him ah tun eediat. Him nuh stap scratch scratch himself like supp'n ah bite him."

Neighbours soon after took him to the paediatrician at the nearby Child Care Medical Centre to be examined
and counselled.

McCalla said she and her daughter were in the kitchen preparing breakfast at the time of the tragic incident. They thought the children were at the front of the yard where they had left them playing. They didn't know the game had changed or that it had moved inside the house until the ear-piercing explosion rang out, signalling that something had gone horribly wrong.

"Ah di explosion we hear an we bolt go inside. We meet him ah di doorway ah bawl and then we see har," McCalla said, sitting in a chair across from her house as the police processed the scene.

She went from staring blankly into space, glancing up at the skies calling on God.

"Wha mi a go do? Wha mi a go do?," she cried out. "Mi gran' pickney dem, mi gran' pickney dem."

The children, she said, had apparently been rummaging through the suitcase of an uncle who had just returned from abroad. He had told them he carried gifts for them but the children couldn't wait; they went to find it themselves. What they found however, was not sparkly gift wrap or shiny ribbons. It was their uncle's 9mm pistol.

The Gregory Park police reported yesterday that the firearm was licensed, but they took the uncle in for questioning. He was released pending investigation.

"Yuh know why mi feel it so?," asked McCalla. "If mi did have pickney weh bad and weh go outta di way [mi probably woulda seh is pay back, but mi nuh have no pickney like dat. Ah dat mek mi feel it so," the mother of four said. "Mi family come so far. Everybody big now and nutten [bad] neva happen. Why now? Why now Jesus? Satan is a liar. Ah bind him and sen him back to the pit of hell where him belong," she said, her tone sad and low.

Neighbours described Gabby as "nice", "friendly", "pretty" and "bright". "Nobody nuh pass pan di road an she nuh call to them," one man said.

"She was a pretty, pretty baby. She was sweet and sensible, we lickkle sunshine," McCalla said, recounting things her granddaughter had said.

"To how she pretty and bright, mi just say to miself maybe she neva come here to stay."

A woman who answered the phone at Commonwealth Urology would not take a message for the doctor Thursday. But the Seaton's attorney said the doctor's post-surgical notes show the doctor thought he detected cancer and removed the penis. Attorney Kevin George said a later test did detect cancer. "It was not an emergency," George told The Associated Press on Thursday. "It didn't have to happen that way." Seaton was having the procedure on Oct. 19, 2007, to better treat inflammation. The lawsuit filed earlier this month in state court claims Patterson removed Seaton's penis without consulting either Phillip or Deborah Seaton, or giving them an opportunity to seek a second opinion. The couple also sued the anesthesiologist, Dr. Oliver James of Shelbyville, claiming he used a general anesthesia even though Seaton asked that it not be administered. A message left at Commonwealth Urology's corporate office in Lexington was not immediately returned Thursday. A message left for James also was not immediately returned. The Seatons' suit is similar to one in which an Indianapolis man was awarded more than $2.3 million in damages after he claimed his penis and left testicle were removed without his consent during surgery for an infection in 1997.

NEW YORK - A representative for Janet Jackson says the singer has been hospitalized after falling ill shortly before a concert.

According to statement released by W&W Public Relations, the singer canceled her concert in Montreal on Monday after she "got suddenly ill" during her sound check and had to be rushed to the hospital just before show time.

The statement says Jackson is being monitored at the hospital and hopes to reschedule the show. No further information was given about Jackson's condition.

A phone call placed to W&W after hours went unanswered, and a representative did not immediately return an e-mail seeking more information.

Jackson, 42, is on a North American tour.

Popular deejay Elephant Man is denying reports that he and hip-hop impresario and CEO of Bad Boy Records, Sean 'P. Diddy' Combs, were involved in a physical altercation over unpaid money.

An article posted Friday on United States based entertainment website, www.mediatakeout.com, claims that the deejay barged into Combs' office after a recent meeting at the Bad Boy Headquarters in New York and assaulted him both verbally and physically. The website which has been around since last year and claims to have more than 250,000 readers daily, stated that Elephant Man and some of his friends "paid a surprise visit to Diddy's offices a few days ago. And that's when all hell broke loose."

Busted lip

It further explained that a source at the record company said that, "[The receptionist] tried to stop them from going in to see (Diddy), but they just barged into his office. I wasn't in there to see what happened but 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 article also claimed "Diddy was shaken up by the incident. His sunglasses looked like they were bent up and I heard that his lip was busted."

When THE STAR contacted the deejay he was obviously taken aback by the reports and asked repeatedly, "Mi? mi?!" He, however, quickly and emphatically distanced himself from the reports. "STAR, please tell dem to leave my life alone. Puffy don't owe me no money. I'm okay with Puffy and Puffy okay with me. I never have no confrontation with Puffy over money yet," he said.

He continued, "Dat mus be Delephant, not Elephant. Is not me. First of all, my business and Puffy business was taken care of by lawyers. Puffy tek care a him business good, with a lot of zeros. Everytime I go over to Bad Boy is about mi album, di plans whe dem have fi mi or Puffy mek mi listen to some tings."

The 'Energy God' said plans for the release of his first album under the Bad Boy label were going well, and added that the album, titled, Get Physical, would be released on November 6. "We did put it [the release] off because we did a wait pan Chris Brown. Wi do a song wid him and a it a go be di second single. So, everyting good to go, everyting is great. Mi nuh kno nothing bout dat [the rumours]. Is the wrong animal, not elephant. Everyting nice. There is no bad vibes or nothin like dat. P. Diddy don't owe me nothing fi mi an im inna argument like dat."

Attempts to contact P. Diddy and his publicist were futile, but one of the artiste's representative also told THE STAR that he was not aware of a physical altercation between the two.

MTV CANCELS TRL

MTVs long running show Total Request Live (TRL) will air its final episode in November, the shows executive producer announced yesterday (September 15). The show, which premiered in 1998 with Carson Daly as host, introduced a number of pop and Hip-Hop acts into the mainstream. During the shows 10-year run of over 2,000 episodes, TRL helped break acts like 50 Cent, Plies, T-Pain, Kanye West, The Game, Eminem and others. "I'm going to miss TRL," lamented Eminem in a statement. "Where else will I be able to start feuds, defend my honor vigorously and act like an angry teenager on national TV? Oh wait...the VMAs!" A two-hour special celebrating the shows mark on pop culture is reportedly in the works and scheduled to air in November.
G-Unit rapper 40 Glocc might find himself getting kicked out of his Los Angeles neighborhood soon. According to reports, if California Lawmakers succeed in serving him with an injunction, Glocc, real name Lawrence White, along with 18 other members of the Colton City Crips gang will be forced to leave their stomping grounds. The 18 members have already received their injunctions, White however, was out of town when officials tried to contact him. Authorities are determined his celebrity status won't render him immune from the law. "There is no doubt he is still active (in the gang). He is one of those guys that believe he's untouchable due to the fact that he does have some money," a Colton police officer tells Hip Hop Weekly. 40-Glocc recently made headlines after a video of him surfaced on the internet in which he appeared to be threatening rapper Lil Wayne during a stop in an LA neighborhood.
Dear Pastor,

I feel horny in the nights, but my fingers can't help me anymore. I feel horny very often and my vagina runs like juice. I am not quite sure if it is a man or a vibrator that I need.

What should I do? Please, give me your best advice.

S. P., Aruba



Dear S. P.,

It seems to me that you need to pray to God that He will send you a man who will marry you and meet your sexual needs. Women have different ways of satisfying themselves apart from having sexual intercourse with men, but you are saying that you are tired of that too.

Single women who use the vibrator have admitted that even after they are married, they still use the vibrator because no man is capable of creating the sensation that a vibrator gives. Therefore, I will not encourage you to purchase a vibrator. I would rather pray that the good Lord will help you to find a man and that both of you will get married and enjoy sex within the bond of marriage.

Pastor

Damon dash son kidnapped, blames his ex

Started By Gamepun7 Comments
A judge issued a bench warrant yesterday for the arrest of the mother of Damon Dashs oldest son.

According to TMZ, Dashs ex, Linda Williams, defied judges orders by failing to return Damon II weeks ago after an allowed weekend visit. To date it is unknown where the boy is.

Aside from his heated custody battle with Williams, the Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder and his wife, Rachel Roy are allegedly on the verge of losing two of their Manhattan homes due to unpaid mortgage debts estimated at $7.3 million.

The lawsuit filed against the pair alleges neither has paid the due amounts on their luxury Tribeca condos from January to August, which found them in the early steps of foreclosure proceedings. Eastern Savings Bank claims the couple agreed to make monthly payments of $78,500 on the properties.

In related Dash news, the hip hop mogul is no longer in business with Pro Keds. As previously reported by SOHH, the sneaker company ended their 2004 licensing contract with Dame, explaining they wanted a new image for their approaching 60th anniversary.

September 25, 2008. MediaTakeOut.com just caught wind that hip hop pioneer Shawn "Jay Z" Carter may be on the verge of pulling off the biggest deal in the history of hip hop. According to people extremely senior at a major record label, Jay Z is looking to sign some of the top artists in urban music to his newly launched label.

The executive, who spoke to MediaTakeOut.com on the condition of anonymity explained, "Jay Z approached 50 Cent [whose contract ends with Interscope in December] earlier this year and now he's talking to Janet [Jackson] and Jermaine Dupri ... It seems like a difficult task to get so many big artists under one roof, but I wouldn't put anything past [Jay Z]."

And another industry insider was far more optimistic about the prospects of the new label. That insider told MediaTakeOut.com, "[Jay Z] is probably the only person in music that could put together the financing to make [signing] talent of that caliber possible."

September 26, 2008. MediaTakeOut.com told you that there was a growing controversy surrounding Ciara and whether or not she wore clothes. Vibe's editor Danyeal Smith came out and flat out DENIED Photoshopping out Ciara's clothing. And now Ciara is calling her a liar.

Here's a quote from Ciara's Myspace page:
Vibe Article:
I know that there has been a lot of talk about the vibe magazine and this will be my last time talking about it.

When vibe presented the idea to me, I was excited about trying something different and doing something Artistic. The body is beautiful, and I wanted to celebrate it. Im at a point to whereas Im shedding old layers of my life and the new layers are surfacing. So much has changed for me especially as a young woman and I wanted to express that. There was talk about me being upset about the shoot. When I look at the photos, I do think they are beautiful photos and I am proud of my body, I was bothered because I did indeed have on items that were removed.

I know that it was vibes mission to do something beautiful and to present me in a nice light I just think it would have been appropriate for them to get my approval to do such a thing before doing it.. I dont want this to keep going; I just wanted to talk to u guys before I went totally silent on this topic.

That's a pretty serious charge to basicly come out and call the editor of a magazine a liar. We think Vibe should release the photos and let us all be the judge ....

September 26, 2008. MediaTakeOut.com reported to you last year that rapper Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson loaned actress Lindsay Lohan a substantial amount of money. And now it appears he may have to go to court to get it back.

According to one of MediaTakeOut.com's insiders, 50 may have lent Lindsay as much as $1 million - and he has yet to be paid back. And there's more. The insider claims that 50 has begun consulting lawyers after repeated attempts to get Lindsay to pay him back.

The insider explained, "[50 Cent] doesn't play when it comes to money. Either you pay up - or he gets his lawyers involved."

How 'bout this 50. Instead of getting the money back, how about you get her to give brain to the entire G-Unit. That is, if she hasn't done that already....

We've learned the L.A. County D.A. has decided not to file felony charges against Kanye West and his bodyguard for the attack at LAX earlier this month.

Yet another example of what a celebrity should do when they get into trouble -- hire attorney Blair Berk. And it doesn't hurt that TMZ declined to prosecute the matter.

The case has been sent to the L.A. City Attorney for possible misdemeanor prosecution. No decision yet.

JPS to answer disgruntled customers

September 17, 2008

Jamaica Public Service customers will soon have answers concerning the high electricity bills which were issued recently.

In a release yesterday, the Consumer Advisory Committee on Utilities (CACU) said it had written to JPS President, Damion Obliglio, requesting an explanation of the circumstances surrounding the extended billing cycles and the suspension of meter reading over the same period.

The CACU is an independent group acting on behalf of consumers to find answers relating to any utility bill concerns. It liaise with the Office of Utilities Regulation (OUR). It is a company that lobbies and advocates in order to hear from both consumers and the utility com-panies. The organisation meets monthly with the OUR which does not exercise any control over it.

The CACU wrote to the JPS honcho about the billing issue which continues to be the primary grievance of JPS customers. The CACU recommends that the JPS immediately address the technical glitch which caused the problem. It said this would ensure that there is no recurrence of the problem.

The CACU added that the company's meter-reading programme must be fine-tuned in such a way that it supports and produces actual readings on a monthly basis, irrespective of planned national events, such as public holidays.

The CACU also advised customers to familiarise them-selves with the components of their electricity bills. The lobby group promised to keep the public informed of developments as they occur. It asked that consumers exercise proper judgement and social order in the exercise of their rights.

Gunman opens fire at school, 9 dead

Gunman opens fire at school, 9 dead

HELSINKI, Finland (AP) A gunman opened fire at a vocational school for adults in western Finland on Tuesday before shooting himself, police said. Finnish media reported nine people were killed and the gunman was wounded.

The shootings began just before 11 a.m. local time as about 150 students went to class in Kauhajoki, 180 miles northwest of Helsinki. Witnesses said panic broke out as the hooded gunman entered the school and began firing.

"Within a short space of time I heard several dozen rounds of shots, in other words it was an automatic pistol," school janitor Jukka Forsberg told broadcaster YLE. "I saw some female students who were wailing and moaning and one managed to escape out of the back door."

Broadcaster STT, citing police at the school, reported nine people were killed, that the school building was on fire and the gunman reportedly had explosives on him.

Jussi Muotio, superintendent of the Kauhajoki police, confirmed that several people had been wounded but could not immediately confirm the deaths. "The incident is over now," Muotio said.

Vesa Nyrhinen, detective superintendent from the local police, declined to say how seriously the gunman was injured. "He was wounded by his own bullets," he said.

College rector Timo Varmola told YLE there were 150 students in the school at the time.

The shootings happened almost a year after another gunman killed eight people and himself at a school in southern Finland, an attack that triggered a fierce debate about gun laws in this Nordic nation with deep-rooted traditions of hunting in the sub-Arctic wilderness.

With 1.6 million firearms in private hands, Finland is an anomaly in Europe, lagging behind only the United States and Yemen in civilian gun ownership, studies show.

Finnish media said YouTube clips of a man firing a gun appeared to be linked to the shooting. In one of them, a young man wearing a leather jacket fires several shots in rapid succession with a handgun at what appears to be a shooting range.

The posting was made five days before the shooting and the location was given as Kauhajoki. The posting included a message saying: "Whole life is war and whole life is pain. And you will fight alone in your personal war."

The person who posted the clip identified himself as a 22-year-old with the name "Mr. Saari." He also posted three other clips of himself firing a handgun in the past three weeks.

Clips from the 1999 Columbine school shootings in Colorado were listed among his favorite videos.

Police could not immediately confirm whether the postings were linked to Tuesday's shooting.

Last year, Pekka-Eric Auvinen, described by police as a bullied 18-year-old outcast, opened fire at his high school in southern Finland on Nov. 7. He killed six students, a school nurse and the principal before ending his own life with a gunshot to the head.

Finnish investigators have said Auvinen left a suicide note for his family and foreshadowed his attack in YouTube postings.

After Auvinen's rampage, the government said it would raise the minimum age for buying guns from 15 to 18, but insisted there was no need for sweeping changes to Finland's gun laws.

WILLY' BROKEN DURING SEX

September 5, 2008
Started By STUWY7741 Comments

While many persons in the Corporate Area were locked indoors last week during Tropical Storm Gustav, one man had to leave home and brave the weather after he broke his penis.

According to bizarre reports reaching THE STAR, the man had to immediately seek medical attention at the Kingston Public Hospital (KPH) after he fractured his penis while having sex.

After much research, we were able to make contact with the man yesterday. He, however, declined to give an interview after his demands for payment to share his story were not met.

"Right now unnu affi go gi mi some compensation fi my story," he said while stating that he wanted a percentage of THE STAR's sales for today. "So, if unnu naw gimmi a thing then just call it a day, mi naw go talk bout it."

We were able to get information from him, however, that he had been at the KPH. An earlier conversation with one of his friends also confirmed that he did break his member.

Several checks at the KPH yesterday turned up varying responses. One porter said he heard about a patient turning up with a broken penis, but he couldn'y say if it was true as he was not at work at the time.

A female security officer, chuckling through her response, said that she was at work when the patient showed up but was stationed elsewhere. "Is last week inna de storm him come, but mi neva up weh dem teck him in," she said. "Is when mi go up there mi hear dat a man come in wid a bruk penis."

She then jokingly warned the reporter to be careful in order not to share the same misfortune. Others at the facility said they had never heard about the case and questioned if it was possible for a man to break his penis.

However Dr Alverston Bailey, past president of the Medical Association of Jamaica, said that while he has not heard about this specific case, it was quite possible for the penis to be fractured. "It's called a penile fracture; it's not an uncommon event," he said. "What happens is that you tear the structure that maintains the integrity of the penis."

Loud popping sound

Dr Bailey continued that when this happens there is a loud popping sound from the penis, followed by excruciating pain and significant swelling, causing the penis to appear deformed. He noted that in some cases, *lo** might be seen coming from the organ.

'Daggering' and rough sex

"Men mainly fracture the penis from rough sex. During this vigorous act the penis may miss and end up hitting the female's pubic bone resulting in the fracture," he said. "So men who are overly enthused with 'daggering' can end up seriously hurting themselves."

He also warned that dominant females, overly enthused during certain sexual positions could put strain on the penis, resulting in a fracture.

In closing, Dr Bailey noted that men who suffer a penile fracture should immediately seek medical assistance as leaving it unattended may cause the penis to be permanently deformed or they might become impotent.

A French television presenter has sued Microsoft for "violation of intellectual property". Philippe Gildas accused the software publisher of illegally using the trademark "Vista".

Gildas registered the Vista in October 2003. This was two years before Microsoft registered its Windows Vista trademark with the INPI (French National Institute for Intellectual Property).

Philippe Gildas had registered the Vista trademark for a television channel aimed at senior citizens, Télé Vista, which was to have launched in 2003. The Télé Vista project was delayed, but is now coming to fruition, with plans to launch the channel later this year.

Gildas sees Microsoft's hogging of the limelight with its new Vista operating system as an obstacle to that launch, and so he decided to sue, arguing that he registered the Vista trademark "in all entertainment and media categories: press, television, web and so on."

As in other jurisdictions, French trademark law recognizes rights to the use of trademark only in certain categories of activity, allowing, say, a baker of baguettes, an onion-selling cyclist and a maker of berets to use the same trademark in their respective domains.

Gildas has indeed registered the Vista trademark in categories 35, 38 and 41, which covers the entertainment and media categories he cited. However, he did not register it in categories 9 and 42, covering software and the design and development of computers and software, the areas relevant to Microsoft's operating system. Given that the trademarks registered by Gildas and Microsoft are in different categories, it may be difficult for him to argue his case.
Boy hit from bicycle, dies; brother injured

Monday, September 29, 2008

A 13-year-old boy, identified as Everton Hartley, was killed Saturday when a motor car hit him from his pedal cycle along the Vernamfield main road in Clarendon.

The boy's 14-year-old brother, Shavel Watson - who was riding on the same bicycle - was injured in the accident and was admitted to hospital.

The two teenagers, said the police, were riding along the Vernamfield main road heading towards Crooks Gate, when they were hit from behind by a motor car.

The driver of the car did not stop, the police reported.
