Verizon has canceled their sponsorship for Akon after viewing the video of him dry raping 14 year-old Deena Alleyne.
Mainstream media outlets such as Fox News are now calling the incident “simulated rape”. And because Akon is opening for Gwen Stefani’s tour, they’ve dropped sponsorship for Gwen’s tour as well. Ouch!!!
Gwen should really drop this loser! He’s drama! I love that people are standing up against attackers like Akon. It’s good news for everyone, especially women. Throwing a girl around like a rag doll and aggressively dry humping her isn’t cute and it’s gonna cost you… literally.
To check out the video that’s causing so much controversy click here.

Paris Hilton has reportedly fired longtime publicist Elliot Mintz in the wake of her being sentenced to 45 days in jail.
Hilton testified on Friday that Mintz had told her that her license had only been suspended for thirty days and that she was still allowed to drive for work-related matters.
Mintz himself told the judge that neither he nor his client were aware the license had been suspended, a testimony the judge called “completely worthless.”
Hilton spent yesterday lunching at the swank LA restaurant Prego and shopping with mom Kathy, telling paparazzi, “I told the truth yesterday. I feel that I was treated unfairly and that the sentence is both cruel and unwanted and I don’t deserve this.”

Nas claims that when he went to San Diego’s House of Blues he was roughed up like an Al Qaeda operative. Nas said,
There is no other side of the story. We were treated like terrorist. We had a whole bunch of security guys rush outside to me and my wife like we were terrorists. It’s not like I came with 50 guys or nothing.
It was just me, my wife, my DJ and my staff for the ‘Hip-Hop Is Dead” tour and they came at us like we was Osama Bin Laden or somebody.
Anybody that tolerates [racism] is a sucker in my book,” Nas concluded. “All of that gotta stop.”
What a dumbfuck! Comparing yourself to Osama Bin Laden is never a smart move. As far as the House of Blues being racist, maybe those security guards had issues with the rapper but I wouldn’t blame the House of Blues all together on some security guard assholes.
Bouncers usually treat everyone like trash. Nas is just pissed he didn’t receive star treatment. They obviously weren’t fans of his. But who knows, maybe they did treat him rotten?

“Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” star Ty Pennington was arrested early Saturday morning in Los Angeles on suspicion of being under the influence of alcohol and drugs while driving.
Ty was arrested at 12:35 AM and released two hours later after posting $5000 bail. Extreme dumbass! I had to take it there. 
And how come the cops seem to be so good at catching celebs under the influence?! It’s like LA has a separate task force for the intoxicated.

UPDATE: Ty has issued the following statement:
I made an error in judgment. We all make mistakes, however this is about accountability. Under no circumstances should anyone consume alcohol while driving.
I could have jeopardized the lives of others and I am grateful there was no accident or harm done to anyone. This was my wake-up call. I also want to apologize to my fans, ABC Television and my design team for my lapse in judgment and the embarrassment I have caused.
