Love is your best friend or your worst enemy. It's like fire. If you can control it, it can cook for you; it can heat your house. If you can't control it, it will burn everything around you and have you looking stupid in the newspapers. Try being more alert, like a deer coming across the lawn. The Jewelry Man.telling you everybody's got a plan...until they get punched in the mouth.
In "I love my chick-not" news, the beef-cake homey Busta Rhymes has just ended one of the nastiest four-year custody battles in hip-hop history.
Oh really EbenGregory.sounds like I need some popcorn because the show is about to start huh man?
Yes.
The Jewelry Man is informed that Rhymes custody battle was full of allegations including that his ex-girlfriend of ten years had lesbian sex in front of their children, that she does drugs in the house and that she's an absentee mom.
According to the New York Post, for the past four years, the couple has been embroiled in a bitter custody dispute over their sons, T'Ziah, 13, T'Khi, 6, and Trillian, 5. Rhymes, whose real name is Trevor Smith, won custody of the kids in December when Judge Burton Joseph in Nassau County Family Court ruled he was a more fit parent.
Damn. Sound like I'm gonna need candy, Nachos and a large soda that costs $22 for this one huh man?
Here's Busta Rhymes ex-girlfriend Joanne Wood to the New York Post on the beef with Busta: His hate for me is rooted in his manhood being challenged after I left him for a woman. His ego is definitely hurt. If he's being emotional, then let him just be emotional - that's like the b*tch in him. If you want to be emotional, I don't have a problem with that, just stop wearing your emotions on your sleeve.
Here's Busta Rhymes ex-girlfriend Joanne Wood to the New York Post on whether or not Busta turned her to women: A relationship is a relationship. It happens. I have nothing negative to say as far as our relationship, whether it was good or bad, sexually, or not. That had nothing to do with me doing what I did [becoming a lesbian]. It's not like I spitefully did it.
Here's Busta Rhymes ex-girlfriend Joanne Wood to the New York Post on why she rolled out: He had a problem with everything. He's a Taurus - he's a real arrogant person, he has a problem with everything. But on the other hand, he's soft-hearted - he's a softy, at times, when we're together. I don't know what happened.
That's nice.like hearing the news the your ladyfriend left you for another woman and calling it the Big Bang. And speaking of banging.
Here's some African blood diamond jewelry being dropped by EbenGregory on Busta Rhymes playing it out for the world to see: Democracy is three wolves and one sheep voting on what to have for supper.

The Jewelry Man is informed that the heavily pregnant Spears appears on the cover naked with her hands strategically covering her breasts. Inside the magazine, the newly-brunette singer poses nude and also in a white G-string.
Hmm, that's nice.like watching Federline spend down your bank account while smoking cigarettes with his other baby momma.

Here's transparent white on white ice jewelry being dropped by EbenGregory on Britney Spears eating cake while showing off her birthday suit: My advice to those who think they have to take off their clothes to be a star is, once you're boned, what's left to create the illusion? Besides, when a woman won't listen to her conscience, it's usually because she doesn't want advice from a total stranger.
And speaking of eating.guess who's eating off putting words together: MySpace.com/ebengregory.

Justice may be blind, but she has very sophisticated listening devices. The Jewelry Man.telling you that when the gods wish to punish us, they answer our prayers. In "Guess who's coming home" news, the big homey Lil Kim will be released from jail on Monday (July 3) after serving close to a year in jail. Oh really EbenGregory.does this mean we'll get to see those marvelous Versace's again? Yes.

Nobody holds a good opinion of a man who holds a low opinion of himself.especially one who refers to himself as a sex addict. The Jewelry Man.laughing at weak men who play the victim.
In "I wish my ex-wife would stop playing the victim" news, the metrosexual homey Eric Benet wishes Halle Berry would stop talking to the press about their previous marriage.
Oh really EbenGregory.is it your assessment that he's mad she's still getting money while he can't seem to buy a bucket?
The Jewelry Man is informed that after Halle said to In Touch magazine that she finds it difficult to pay money to a man who cheated on her 27 times, Mr. Benet became mad.
Here's soft man Eric Benet to the New York Post on how he feels about Halle's comments: If she said that, that I cheated on her 27 times, then she is simply lying. Straight out, that's a lie and a gross, gross exaggeration of what happened in our marriage. I have not received any money from her, nor have I asked for money.
Here's more soft man Eric Benet to the New York Post on how he feels about Halle's comments: I've admitted my indiscretion and apologized and took responsibility. I think maybe it's time for Halle to take some responsibility, instead of constantly casting herself in this victim mode and implying her commitment to our marriage was without flaw. I have refrained from ongoing attacks on her and she needs to do the same. I so don't want to go down this road and say things about Halle in anger and frustration. But I can't just keep letting these snipes and lies continue in the media without commenting
That's nice.like watching soft man Eric Benet trying to back down Rupaul in the low post. The Jewlery Man suggests a fabulous cheese platter to go with that whine. And speaking of weak.
Here's some blow your nose jewelry being dropped by EbenGregory on soft man Benet looking for someone to give him a hug: Wash your face.
And speaking of moving on.guess who's still playing Pin the Tail on the Donkey: MySpace.com/ebengregory.

In "Bad press is good press" news, the I'm gonna act like it's business as usual homey Juelz Santana has not been dropped from Def Jam despite published reports indicating he was given his walking papers.
Oh really EbenGregory.does this mean somebody better work a little harder?
Let the streets tell it, the rumor started after Dip Set capo Cam'ron began shooting verbal jabs at Jay Z.
You know, like the time Killa talked about Jay's flip flops and said.you can't ask me no question like that. First of all, you can do flip flops with the socks you understand. You can do flip flops with the socks and you have the shorts on. You don't wear jeans...like right now if I had the chancletas sandals (open toe sandals rap dummie) ya'll wouldn't be laughing? If I had the...the tongue joints? Anybody think this would be cool to do this press conference with the chancletas sandals, the joints that go in between your toes? That's all I'm asking. If I'm bugging let me know.
Anyways.
Here's a source from Def Jam in a statement on whether or not Juelz Santana was dropped from the label: The rumor circulating that Juelz Santana has been dropped from Def Jam is absolutely false. Juelz is one of the hottest emerging artists in hip-hop, and we are proud to have him as part of the Def Jam family.
That's nice.like watching your homeboy trying to park his Range Rover Sport and scratching his rim. And speaking of trying not to hate.
Here's some ice-cold jewelry being dropped by EbenGregory on Juelz Santana not being dropped by Def Jam: You can always trust the information given to you by people who are crazy; they have an access to truth not available through regular channels.

In "My pimp hand is strong" news, the wet wipe homey DJ Quick was ordered to serve a five-month stint in jail for assaulting his sister.
Oh really EbenGregory.are you getting ready to go there?
The Jewelry Man is informed that back in 2003 Mr. David Marvin Blake pulled a gun on his sister during a family argument. He was ordered to serve 45 days in jail on weekends after pleading guilty to the assault. But playboy blew off the deal and never served his time.
Here's Judge Keith Davis to DJ Quick on what happens when you play games with the law: I'm increasing your jail time to 150 consecutive days. You are to begin serving your time immediately.

In "I can hear" news, the on-again/off-again homey Foxy Brown has reported that after suffering from severe and sudden sensorineural hearing loss in both ears, she can hear again.
Oh really EbenGregory.so that means this story will be over in 148 words huh man?
Here's Foxy Brown to MTV on getting her hearing back: I had sleepless nights. To suddenly lose your hearing after 10 years as a professional artist, I questioned God 'Why me?' I can hear now. I went straight from the operating room to the studio. It was really hard. I was deaf for an entire year. Completely deaf. The surgery was iffy. They didn't know if it would be a success, and it was.
That's nice.like wearing tinted Prada glasses and trying to walk across the Santa Monica Freeway during rush hour. And speaking of a bad idea.
Here's some jewelry dropped by EbenGregory on Foxy Brown getting her hearing back and The Jewelry Man writing a story about it using 221 words: My time is limited, so I don't waste it telling stories about someone else's life.

Here's Bow Wow to MTV on possibly retiring after releasing his fifth LP: This might be the last one. [If so] we're going to go out with a bang. It's definitely going to be the biggest album that I've ever done. I already have the first single ready. It features Chris Brown and it's called 'Shorty Like Mine,' so that definitely could be the biggest record of my career. I'm going for a more edgy, kinda mature sound. Now that I'm 19, I'm able to talk about a lot of things that I've experienced in my life.
Okay, but what about Hollywood?
Here's Bow Wow to MTV on saying to h*ll with the short change music money, I need that Hollywood longggggggggggggg money: Scripts keep coming into the office daily so I'm reading, trying to pick the next one. There's actually one in negotiations right now, but they don't want me to say. But definitely get ready to see me in at least two more movies. Last year I promised myself I'd do three movies and this ["Tokyo Drift"] is one right here.
That's nice.like trying to race fast cars but not being able to drive a stick. And speaking of getting stuck in neutral.
