that he has departed from DTP and signed a solo deal with Def Jam.
Later today, he will also make the announcement on MTV’s RapFix Live at

I just took another route as far as running my own company and bossing up. But on the other hand, I’m still working with him. He has an album coming out this year, as well. Matter of fact, we are label mates, now, which is crazy. So, yeah, that’ll be cool. I’m looking forward to that.”

Paula Abdul got the ax from "X Factor" ... TMZ has learned.
It's a stunning development, given that Simon Cowell personally recruited Paula after she was booted from "American Idol."
Sources also tell TMZ ... Paula got the news from a lawyer connected with the show, and has yet to hear from Simon.

Our sources say Simon has not found replacements for the cast members who got booted.
staten island : Robbery attempt ends in gunplay in Mariners Harbor
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — A Mariners Harbor man trying to take money from an
acquaintance fired a bullet just a few inches away from the man,
blasting a hole in a nearby window, police allege.
Police say Eric Hemphill, 20, of Holland Avenue confronted his victim in a 7th-floor hallway at 35 Holland Ave., part of the Arlington Terrace Apartments complex in Mariners Harbor, at about 1:30 p.m. Thursday.
“Give me my money,” Hemphill told the man, grabbing him, according to police. They struggled, and the victim broke free and ran off, but as he ran, “he did hear a shot behind him and observed a bullet hole in the window near where he was standing,” according to court papers.
Police arrested Hemphill on Friday, charging him with two counts of first-degree attempted robbery, first-and second-degree attempted assault, second-degree criminal possession of a weapon and criminal trespass.
He’s being held on $15,500 cash or $30,500 bond, until his next appearance in Stapleton Criminal Court on Thursday.

See The Newest Basketball Wives In The Season 4 Glam Shots
Back in December, we went to Miami to get an up-close look at what goes on during a Basketball Wives photo shoot. We showed you some behind-the-scenes photos, some early previews of the sexy looks the ladies were photographed in, and a short video of our time with them, and now all the gorgeous photos are ready for public consumption. Check out these gorgeous glamour shots of the entire cast, including new ladies Kesha Nichols and Kenya Bell. Let us know which lady is rocking the hottest look in the comments, and read on for more information about season four.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 30, 2012 — The strong, independent and sexy ladies of VH1′s “Basketball Wives” are back for a fourth season. The ladies open up a new chapter in their lives in New York City as they recover from last season’s fall-outs and welcome two new cast members, Kenya Bell and Kesha Nichols, who also know that being in a relationship with a pro-basketball player isn’t as glamorous as one might think. From the ladies show-stopping fashion to their drama and betrayal, VH1 is going deeper into their friendships and relationships to deliver a powerful season four of “Basketball Wives” returning Monday, February 20 at 8PM.*
In season four of “Basketball Wives” the two new ladies alter the ever-changing landscape and dynamic among these women. Newcomer Kesha Nichols survived every girl’s worst nightmare, having her engagement broken off by her ball-playing fiance via email shortly before their wedding. Kenya Bell is in the process of finalizing a divorce from a basketball star and is one of the most notorious and controversial wives in the league, whose infamous reputation is well-known by the other wives. Shaunie O’Neal is on the path to establishing herself as a business mogul. Evelyn Lozada and Jennifer Williams’ 12-year friendship is in a precarious position. Will it recover from last season’s fracture? Strong-willed Tami Roman continues to be a force to be reckoned with both socially and now in business. Royce Reed and Suzie Ketcham attempt to navigate uncharted waters as new chapters open in their lives.
These powerful women aren’t going to let ex-husbands, challenged friendships or public scrutiny get them down. Having a relationship with a pro basketball player isn’t always easy but we’ve watched as these women have shown viewers time and time again how they persevere through difficult times. Tune-in to VH1 on Monday, February 20th at 8PM* as the excitement and fireworks continue.
Shed Media is producing the series. Executive producing for Shed Media are Nick Emmerson, Alex Demyanenko and Sean Rankine. Shaunie O’Neal is an executive producer. Executive producing for VH1 are Jeff Olde, Jill Holmes and Tom Huffman.

Drake says Common’s Beef Isn’t Hip Hop, It’s Publicity
Let us quickly recap the season of Common vs. Drake Beef thus far:
Common dates Serena Williams. Drake dates Serena Williams. Common is down with Kanye. Drake is down with Young Money. Common spits subliminals at Drake on “Sweet.” Drake makes subliminal outburst onstage in Cali. Common admits to Drake subliminal disses on the song “Sweet”. Drake spits subliminal lyrics in “Stay Scheming.” Common disses Drake by name on “Stay Scheming” remake. Common tells interviewers the beef is just normal “hip hop competitiveness” and that he’s done….
But does Drake see this as just rap battling? Will there be a rebuttal? Nahright’s Nation (a liner-noted friend of Drake’s) got an exclusive comment from Drake on the set of “The Zone” video:
Nation: So people want to know: will you respond to Common?Oh. Dang.
Drake: No. Because despite how it’s been worded by him that situation is not a “hip hop moment” or a “battle for the sake of musical integrity”…it’s a ploy for attention around the release of an album. More than anything it was just disappointing cause what kid isn’t a fan of what Common has done for our genre. A guy who made such an incredible career for himself based off expressing genuine feelings about life and love is now targeting me for sharing my story.
After the jump, Drake explains why he took a shot at Kobe’s wealthy ex-wife on “Stay Scheming”….
While everyone was analyzing Drake’s subliminals towards Common on Rick Ross’ song “Stay Schemin’”….the line that turned into a meme was about Kobe Bryant’s expensive split with his now ex-wife Vanessa.
Kobe ’bout to lose a hundred fifty M’s
Kobe, my n—a I hate it had to be him
Bitch, you wasn’t with me shooting in the gym
(Bitch, you wasn’t with me shooting in the gym)
Vanessa ended up with 75 M’s not 150, but she certainly earned more from her time as “good wife” than she ever would have….as a video extra which is what she was when she met Kobe. However…I’d say a more relevant rap line might be: “Bitch, I must have had a mild concussion when I refused legal counsel and the pleas from my family when I passed on a pre-nup….”
Nation asked Drake about the line, and he chalked it up to….sucks to be you, won’t be me.
Nation: There’s a line from your “Stay Schemin” verse about Kobe’s soon to be ex-wife Vanessa that has gotten some negative attention. Can you speak to what you were trying to express with that line?
Drake: That line came from a conversation about being this young and making this much money and the fear of losing it all. I just used his potential situation to address my own life. I never intended to offend Vanessa or anyone else. That line had everything to do with me and what goes on in my head as a 25 year old man with this much income flowing in. Kobe is and always will be a friend and an icon to me.
Dr. Dre Attends Rick Ross Bday Party
The Doc is in the building. Last night, Rozay ended his birthday celebrations at Miami’s Amnesia night club. Until footage swings our way, here are a few pics from the evening. Dre and Rozay? And then the plot thickens.
Evelyn Lozada On The Real Reasons She’s Upset With Jennifer Williams (The Saga Continues)
There’s a bit of a Basketball Wives saga going down this week. It started when Jennifer Williams made comments in an interview the other day saying that Evelyn Lozada “hates the fact that I’m really good friends with NeNe [Leakes], and she hates the fact that me and Mashonda are good friends.” Yesterday, Evelyn rebutted that statement by taking to Twitter to unleash her emotions on Jennifer. Evelyn wrote “So @iamjennifer thinks I’m MADD that she’s hanging out with @NeNeLeakes??? Bitch pls! interview coming soon.” Well, that interview with Necole Bitchie is here, and Evelyn isn’t holding back. It’s super-duper-long, so we’ll just pull a few of the best quotes, and then do yourself a favor and read the entire thing. In true Evelyn form, she’s honest, blunt, and doesn’t hold back what’s on her mind. At the top, she explains that she’s nt jealous of anyone, and just to clear that up, she called NeNe Leakes to discuss matters.
Nene and I spoke on the phone yesterday. She was like, “I am so happy that you called me because I have had discussions with Jennifer, and I told her I know that Evelyn doesn’t have a problem with me. Why would she? I know it wasn’t an issue with me and I told her that.” I don’t care who Jennifer hangs out with. I get it! You’re single. You’re having a good time. We’re in two different spaces right now, and frankly I don’t want to be in the club every night because my life is different…Why am I a bully because I’m straight forward with how I feel? I’m verbal and I don’t keep sh*t in like she does. I’m not like that. If have a problem and you hurt me, I’m like, “Girl, you bothered me with this.” For her, she doesn’t say sh*t on Twitter, but she sure has a lot to say on camera. That’s my thing, say it in my face! You’ll see. I really hope that when the show does air–that it shows that she’s not a good friend because what good friend would do that to somebody? If I started talking and doing interviews about everything I know, you would be done. That whole Barbie good girl sh*t would be done…She’s trying to remain relevant because I gave her a story line! Let’s just keep it real. I’m just being all the way honest. Every time I try to come down a little bit–you know how time heals everything–then, boom! Jennifer does another interview. It’s like why are you always talking about me? Saturday, there was a filming, and it was chaos…The fact that you leave that, go back home and do an interview is crazy to me. I don’t get it. That b*tch done lost her mind.It’ll all start going down before our very eyes when season four begins on February 20.

SAG Awards 2012 Winners List 'The Help' nabs Best Ensemble' in a stunning upset, while awards-show fave 'The Artist' leaves light on wins.
The SAG Awards, as we have noted, often have a curious way of letting us know what the Oscars are going to deliver. So when the Screen Actors Guild doled out its golden statuettes on Sunday night (January 29), we couldn't help but feel there were more than a few hints at how the Academy Awards might shake out in a few weeks.
What are we to make of the upset SAG win for "The Help" in outstanding cast in a movie, for instance? Where does this leave "The Artist," which had been looking increasingly, inevitably like the big champ come Oscar night, yet only won outstanding male performance (Jean Dujardin) at the SAGs?

Cory Gunz Discusses Arrest
Nearly 48 hours after Cory Gunz was bagged in the Bronx for toting a gun, he spoke with the NY Daily News on his arrest. If convicted, Gunz faces 3 years in prison.
“This was a big mistake on my part. I didn’t have any intentions of harming anyone or committing a criminal activity. So many young people look up to me and I need to fight though this. It’s been really hard, really stressful. When the smoke finally clears people will understand what was going on.”
Khloe Kardashian's Real Father Finally REVEALED! (PHOTOS)
Khloe Kardashian, Alex Roldan
Alex Roldan has been accused of being Khloe Kardashian's real father. Take a look at the pictures and decide for yourself!
Khloe Kardashian's real father might actually have been found.
DETAILS: Khloe Can't Sleep After OJ Named Her Father
According to rumors, Kris Jenner's hairdresser Alex Roldan is Khloe's real father and the resemblance of the two is rather striking!
This news comes after Robert Kardashian's ex-wives said he opened up to them that Khloe was not his real daughter.
Since then, the true identity of Khloe's dad has been questioned, with one tabloid even saying OJ Simpson might be Khloes' pop!
Well, another website says they have the answer:
Meet Alex Roldan, Kris Jenner’s hairdresser. This is Khloe Kardashian’s biological father. He worked on a music video that Kris Kardashian did for her 30th birthday called “I Love My Friends." Alex is now a hairdresser in West Hollywood. While Robert Kardashian was only 5’7″ tall, Alex is a much larger man, standing approximately six feet tall. BTW, Khloe’s middle name is Alexandra.So did Kris name Khloe after her real father?
DETAILS: Khloe Lashes Out At Rumors She's Not A Kardashian
It looks like Kris Jenner might be planning a special show to inform Khloe of just who her real father is.
Kris is taking this another step forward. She wants to introduce Khloe’s real biological father as a plot point on a “very special episode” of one of the Kardashian shows.While this hasn't been verified by any member of the Kardashian family, Khloe and Alex do look alike. You can even see Alex in Kris Jenner's video "I Love My Friends" at the 3:17 mark.
We’re going to spoil her surprise by introducing him here first. (FYI, Kris did tell Khloe who the man is already, so this is not coming a surprise for anyone in their family. Plus it’s all leaking out this week, despite Kris’ desire to keep it a secret until showtime to make the ratings as high as possible.)
What are you thoughts? Has Khloe's real father finally been revealed?

LL Cool J & Nicki Minaj Grammy Promo Pics
Yea LL, we see her booty too. The 54th annual Grammy’s host and one of the nominees and performers pose for a few promo pics. Ceremony takes place February 12 on CBS. It’s a Queens thing baby.
Cory Gunz Arrested On Gun Charge
The details are still sketchy, but I can confirm that he was arrested with a firearm yesterday in the Bronx. They caught him around 2p.m. in the afternoon with a loaded gun in his knapsack. It was definitely an illegal search.Cory’s mentor Nick Cannon tweeted the following below:
I spoke to the arresting officer, and so far, what I’m hearing from him is that they got a phone call at the station saying they should ‘look out”. According to [the officer], they didn’t know he was Cory Gunz. They just saw a bunch of kids following him around. What I will say is that the officer that arrested Cory, actually happened to be a cool dude. After arresting Cory, sitting down with him and talking, he felt bad about the situation.
At the end of the day, there’s a reason for everything, but at the same time, in New York, it’s mandatory jail time. To go to a precinct and see your son, your junior, in handcuffs, it’s heartbreaking. Anytime you see your child in jail, in the cell, in handcuffs, it’s very hard. He’s walked down some of the same paths that I walked down, but you never want to see your kids go through what you went through. This is Cory’s first offense, but sometimes they like to make an example out of rappers and people with any kind of celebrity to them.
