People often say that 'jewelry is in the eye of the beholder,' and I say that the most liberating thing about jewelry is realizing that you are the beholder. This empowers us to find jewelry in places where others have not dared to look, including inside The Jewelry Man's pockets. I got that ruby red ice today.
In "Pumping all these weights got me wanting to just smash a champagne bottle over some clown's head" news, it appears the muscle -bound homey Busta Rhymes took a page out of Naomi Campbell's playbook and sent an adversary to the hospital this week after braining him with a Champagne bottle.
Oh really EbenGregory? Who was the unlucky soul that received such treatment?
According to my Sources, Bussa-bus was in Miami for the Winter Music Conference and got into a beef with deposed Source magazine publisher David Mays. Let the streets tell it, the pair got into a brawl Sunday night at the Miami hot spot Opium, sending Mays to the hospital to clean up a gash in the back of his fat head.
Here's the funny: Rhymes' entourage hasn't been talking about the incident, and Mays hasn't gone to the police.
Here's an alleged eyewitness to the New York Daily news on the alleged Miami assault of Dave Mays: Mays got around 50 stitches in the back of the head.
Here's Dave Mays to the New York Daily news before hanging up the phone when they tried to talk to him on the alleged Miami assault of Dave Mays: I ain't talking about that.
Since Mays doesn't want to talk about it, The Jewelry Man won't talk about it either except for saying.did you hear about the incident Busta was in at Miami 11th Street Diner. Apparently the restaurant was packed with transvestites, gay men and drag queens, which made Busta a little edgy.
I hear that a gay fan came up behind Busta and tapped him on the shoulder to congratulate the rapper on his recent comeback. Before the guy could even mutter a word, Busta turned around and repeatedly screamed, 'Why the fuck you touchin' me, man? Get the f*ck away from me' . . . his two huge bodyguards then caused an even larger scene by pushing the kid.
What silliness. And speaking of turning red...

In "We might as well do the Wallace family a solid" news, the LA City Council approved a $1.1 million payment to the family of slain rapper Notorious B.I.G. The award resulted from sanctions imposed by a federal judge who found police erred in the musician's murder case.
Oh really? They gonna let it ride just like that EbenGregory?
Yes.
City lawyers told the council an appeal was unlikely to overturn the Jan. 20 ruling by U.S. District Judge Florence-Marie Cooper. Cooper sanctioned the city after learning that a police detective withheld documents that were pertinent to claims made in a civil lawsuit filed by the family of Notorious BIG. She declared a mistrial in July.
The award represents the cost of legal fees and other expenses incurred by the family's attorneys. Cooper ruled that a police detective intentionally hid statements by a jailhouse informant linking the killing to two former police officers. She said the detective and perhaps others concealed the information that could have bolstered the family's contention.
I'm tired.Break it down in 12 words or less EbenGregory.
A new team of detectives has been assigned to the case and a re-trail of the lawsuit is expected later this year.
Great. Any last words EbenGregory?

In "It was only a matter of time because he's too old and she's too hot" news, the tall homey Kimora Lee Simmons and Father Time, you know, Mr. Simmons will reportedly announce their separation in a matter of days.
C'mon EbenGregory, your telling lies right?
No.
My good friends over at Us Weekly inform me that Russell Simmons has already moved on and began dating 23-year old model Denise Vasi. Let the streets tell it, the new couple met while practicing yoga and have been inseparable for the past few weeks.
Let the streets tell a little more, Kimora has also moved on - with reports linking her with New York Knick guard Stephan Marbury. Reps for Kimora and Russell have been tight-lipped about the split, but an insider tells Us Weekly that hip-hop's power couple is finally over after 14 years.

In "Winning a Oscar does wonders for your celebrity" news, my Memphis homies Three 6 Mafia recently announced that they are producing and recording tracks with Paris Hilton.

In "I told you so" news, rape charges against the Trillville homey Don P have been dismissed by the Dekalb County District Attorney's office due to lack of evidence. Although P had been charged with rape and two counts of aggravated sodomy on a 16-year-old girl, the DA could not show probable cause that the incident had occurred.
Hmmm, interesting. What did Don P have to say about his lucky break EbenGregory?
Here's Don P to AllHipHop.com on having charges dropped in his rape and aggravated sodomy case: I just want to let everyone know that the case was dismissed because the DA had lack of evidence and they didn't there was no probable cause. It was too many people on the street saying that the girl wanted money. I guess she told people she wanted to get money from me.
Here's Don P to AllHipHop.com on WHY the charges were dropped in his rape and aggravated sodomy case: Once they started investigating, witnesses from the party came forward to give their story of what happened. The guy who brought her to the party said that on the way over the girl was like 'I love Don P, he's my favorite one out the group.I wanna have sex with him.'
Now that the rape and aggravated sodomy charges against Don P. have been dropped, what's he gonna do now EbenGregory, go to Disney World?
No. He's gonna drop a Girls Gone Wild type DVD.

In "I can still be crazysexycool with a broke ankle" news, the Roc-A-Fella ego-whore Kanye West snapped a ligament and chipped a bone in his ankle while performing at The Hordern Pavillion in Sydney, March 26th.
Say word EbenGregory.
Word.
Apparently, Kanye West was getting his Jesus Walk on when a freak accident occurred and snap; the Louis Vuitton Don goes down. In an interview with Rove McManus, an Australian talk show host who chairs the popular show Rove Live, West explained what happened.
Here's Kanye West to Rove McManus on how he snapped a ligament in his ankle: The mishap occurred when I was jumping around in the dark. Dirt marks could be seen at the top of my Nike shoes. Now I'm forced to perform like a regular rapper who just stands on stage and raps.
Sometimes, The Jewelry Man wonders what it would be like to perform like a regular jeweler. Just imagine the mundane chores The Jewelry Man would engage in. Cleaning jewelry, haggling with high-end customers with low-end funds, passing off fugazi like it's VVS.just the thought gives me the chills. Dirt marks on my jewelry would be unacceptable.
And speaking of VVS.

In "Money's money, so why can't we make some together" news, the G-Unit beefcake 50 Cent and Czar Entertainment have reached an agreement in their dispute over the DVD documentary "Infamous Times - Volume 1: The Original 50 Cent," based on the life of Brooklyn drug-lord Kevin '50 Cent' Martin.
Czar Entertainment, isn't that Jimmy Henchman's label? And speaking of Jimmy Henchman; isn't he The Game's manager?
Yes.and now that I've answered your stupid questions, can I get on with the story?
But before I do, here's some history: In the 1980s, Kelvin Martin (alias 50 Cent) was a well-known drug dealer in Brooklyn's Fort Greene projects, before dying violently at the early age of 23 years old. Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson's stage name was adopted in honor of Martin's infamous legacy.
Back to the story. So what had happened was.Curtis reportedly agreed to be interviewed for the film, in exchange for a donation to either Martin's family or the G-Unity Foundation. When the agreement wasn't fulfilled, Jackson filed a lawsuit. Jimmy 'Henchman' Rosemond, CEO of Czar Entertainment, denied ever making that agreement.
After a few rounds of ring around the rosy, Henchman and Curtis decided to make nice and settle the case.
Here's the statement that was released once they worked out the settlement details behind the green door: Czar Entertainment is extremely pleased to announce the settlement with the forming of the Kelvin '50 Cent' Martin foundation in partnership with Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson. We believe that honoring the memory of the original 50 Cent with the development of a foundation in his name will help educate the youth about the dangers of street life.
Here's Jimmy Henchman to Vibe on how he was able to reach a settlement agreement with Curtis: Every time we got on the phone we had to set our differences aside because when it came down to Game, it wasn't about the lawsuit and when it came down to the lawsuit, it wasn't about Game, so we had to put those things aside and deal with the issues at hand. That's the making of true businessmen on his side and on my side, where we can have good dialect that isn't screaming or yelling. That's what it is about.
The Jewelry Man thinks it was about the check you cut, but I'll let you tell it. And speaking of some cut.
Here's some blue ice grill jewelry being dropped by EbenGregory on 50 Cent and Czar Entertainment settling their lawsuit: Some people change when they see the light, others when they feel the heat.
