I guess the celebrities are tired from the weekend because today’s entertainment report is kind of light. I am on MAJOR deadlines anyway, so it’s a good thing for me. Enjoy Tuesday’s “Hot and Black” report and we will talk more tomorrow!

Kelis is a little pissed at Jive because she claims they aren’t respecting her wishes or concerns towards her new album “Kelis Was Here” due out on August 27, 2006. Kelis recently spoke with The New York Daily News’s Jim Faber saying:

"My label is constantly trying to take control of me," she says. "I'm not a new artist. I've been working hard to create my persona and have longevity and they went against my wishes."

It’s a very good article for all you Kelis fans. Check it out.FULL STORY

Yesterday I reported that Busta Rhymes was arrested over the weekend. Now there is more information on his situation. While in custody, the NYPD questioned Rhymes about the February murder of Ramirez, his bodyguard. It is Busta's refusal to cooperate with authorities that his lawyer says is the police's motivation for booking the rapper.
"He was eligible for a desk appearance ticket. But what happened here is that they put in the system as a payback," Leemon told reporters. However, police insist the charges were simply too serious to issue an immediate desk ticket.
Listen I know its really not respected to talk to the police, "popo", "pigs", whatever you want to call them, but it is what it is. To me if you know something, anything that will bring justice and peace to the Ramirez family then why not do so? Karma is a bitch, and the more he continues to avoid doing what is sensibly the right thing to do, won’t no good come to him.FULL STORY

What in the hell is this? Kevin Federline, Britney Spears husband, performed on the Teen Choice Awards last night? I’m speechless…. Why does everyone think, that just because they have embraced the hip hop culture by wearing baseball caps, timberland boots, and smoking weed, that they are in fact hip hop?* Note to be considered hip hop, you have to possess this little thing called talent. His performance was so bad that I can’t even form the words to formulate my thoughts. After shopping his independently produced album to every major record label, and ultimately being turned down, he has decided to distribute it on his newly formed and independently owned “Federation Records”. That right there is a major indication of how bad it has to be if no other label will touch it. CLICK HERE

Has anyone been paying attention to C-Murder/Corey Miller’s trial drama? I am silently paying attention, but only because he is connected through Master P. I really can’t recall one song he EVER did, but I think he used to date Monica. Well apparently he’s been going back and fourth with the courts recently. First he was released on house arrest pending a new trial, then he was released from house arrest, but after prosecutors appealed that decision, the Louisiana higher court ruled over the lower court and now he is back on house arrest. It’s all just a little too much for me to pay attention to, for someone who I barely recall musically.FULL STORY

Myra Panache has another blind item for us, can you guess who it is??

This soul diva's career has cooled down and she is desperately trying to hang on to her marriage. Earlier this year, her husband asked for a divorce and she begged him to stay. He's having second thoughts about his decision to stay and he acts distant towards her. He seemed to be the perfect mate when her career was on fire, since it cooled off, he wants to move on. Despite her career shortcomings, she still struts around like a diva and she continues to order people around and scream at her background singers. Behind her back, people are whispering, "she's such an has been and everyone realizes it but her." If her husband does eventually divorce her, despite him having a career, expect him to ask for alimony because she stays financially aflot due to publishing rights.
