The controversial model was found unconscious in her Seminole, Fla., hotel room Friday afternoon and was pronounced dead shortly afterward at a local hospital. Smith was infamously involved in legal battles with the family of her late husband, oil magnate Howard Marshall II, over the terms of his will. Lately, Smith had been a spokeswoman for a diet supplement, Trim Spa, and had been named in a suit against the company. She recently suffered the loss of her 20-year-old son, Daniel, and welcomed the birth of a 5-month-old daughter, Danielynn. Smith was also embroiled in a legal battle concerning paternity of her daughter. An autopsy is scheduled for this morning.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br /><br /><br /></div>UrbanCityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18241133350741084882noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172189477290146966.post-78804479375559121022007-02-09T13:37:00.000-05:002007-02-04T03:46:49.338-05:00NEW CASSIDY SONG!!!!<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o102/hiphopcity/10424217.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" /></a><br /><br />Cassidy ft.

But in October, the Brooklyn, New York, rapper got more than he bargained for when he was shot in the thigh by an unknown assailant. After the incident, Fabolous was charged with weapons possession after police discovered two guns in his car.Now Fabolous is opening up about the incident. While he says it didn't take him even two weeks to get back on his feet after being shot, he hasn't shrugged the attack off. He says he took it very seriously."It was a life-threatening experience, so I took it as that," Fab said Tuesday of the shooting (see <a href="http://www.vh1.com/news/articles/1543913/20061024/fabolous.jhtml">"Fabolous Hires Private Detective To Help Clear His Name After Arrest"</a>). "Even when I got my truck back [after the shooting], I looked at [one of the shots] in the windshield — it was high enough to be a head shot. I looked at that as being more dangerous than the leg thing. My leg was better in a week and a half. I was back regular, like it never even happened. Even the hole didn't look nothing much [more serious] than a cigarette burn. The bullet didn't hit no bone. I'm a skinny dude ... I don't have a bunch of meat for it to really run through and be a flesh wound. For it to be a flesh wound, I was like, 'Wow.'

Going solo with her 2003 Multi-Platinum CD “Dangerously in Love”, she proved to the world, she has what it takes to make it as a “Solo” artist. Knowles is considered music industry’s “It” girl. Her Second Solo effort “B’Day” which was released on her 25th Birthday (September 4th 2006), proved to be another smash success of the songstress.</div><div align="center">Beyonce considers herself a tough competitor, “I consider myself a “Perfectionist”, I tend to drive other people insane, when I am working on my album or movies. I want everything done perfectly, (laughs) it has become sort of like a habit.” While talking about her success in music and movies, Knowles says, “I’ve been through alot, I started out at the age of 15, people have been criticising me eversince, about different aspects of my career, but I strived for success, worked-hard and now I have made my place in this industry.”<br />Currently re-releasing her latest album “B’Day”, she says she has changed the face of music, “I’ve changed people’s perception of what’s “Hot” in music and what’s “Not Hot”, I have in a way paved the way for upcoming singers, with my 2 albums, I gave people a broader mind-set about music. I have done Jazz, Hip-Hop, Pop, R&B, Reggae, a lil bit of everything, and not alot of artists can do that.”<br />The 25 years-old singer doesn’t consider any of her fellow singers as her competition, she says, “With my first album “Dangerously In Love”, I was put against another female artist, since she released her album around the same time, and people said my album won’t be publicily accepted, but at the end, my album shined, cuz my album had a fresher sound, and had alot to offer to everyone, it proved to critics and the media, that I was not just a bubble-gum pop star, it proved I have talent and I showcase it with my full potential”.</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">[rumor has it Ashanti is the "bubble gum pop star"]</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><a href="http://smartenupnas.com/2007/02/03/beyonce-disses-ashanti/#more-350">[credit]</a></div>UrbanCityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18241133350741084882noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172189477290146966.post-26704329117152410212007-02-03T16:31:00.000-05:002007-02-03T20:21:12.447-05:00Ashanti new album cover!?!?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/6356/ashantialbumcoverla9.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: pointer; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/6356/ashantialbumcoverla9.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">its... different </div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"> </div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="http://z11.invisionfree.com/Wats_Da_411">[credit]</a></div>UrbanCityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18241133350741084882noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172189477290146966.post-82780543371801803132007-02-01T21:26:00.000-05:002007-02-01T21:29:03.985-05:00Cherry Coke = Jay Z<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="article_text"><span class="article_title">Jay-Z To Relaunch Cherry Coke</span></span><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o102/hiphopcity/10909017.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" /></a><br /><br /><span id="intelliTXT" class="article_text">Rapper Jay-Z is to leave the advertising world fizzing with anticipation after agreeing to help <a id="KonaLink0" target="_top" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.postchronicle.com/news/original/article_21261724.shtml#"><span style="color: blue ! important; font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; position: static;color:blue;" ><span class="kLink" style="color: blue ! important; font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; position: static;">soft </span><span class="kLink" style="color: blue ! important; font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; position: static;">drinks</span></span></a> giant Coca-Cola relaunch its Cherry Coke line. <p>The 99 Problems star's <a id="KonaLink1" target="_top" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.postchronicle.com/news/original/article_21261724.shtml#"><span style="color: blue ! important; font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; position: static;color:blue;" ><span class="kLink" style="color: blue ! important; font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; position: static;">Rocawear</span></span></a> firm will design the new Cherry Coke can and the product's TVcommercials, and Jay-Z will appear at its 7 February (07) relaunch at New <a id="KonaLink2" target="_top" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.postchronicle.com/news/original/article_21261724.shtml#"><span style="color: blue ! important; font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; position: static;color:blue;" ><span class="kLink" style="color: blue ! important; font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; position: static;">York</span></span></a> Fashion Week.</p> <p>Rocawear's Jameel Spencer says, "Besides just recording, he's making TVcommercials and campaigns for brands... who is better than Coke?</p></span><p>"They're the biggest.

Now, Brandy is facing some of the financial consequences of a fatal crash she was involved in last month.<br />The parents of the woman killed in the freeway crash are suing the singer and actress for $50 million dollars.</div><div align="center">The wrongful-death lawsuit filed in Los Angeles claims Brandy was driving recklessly when her Land Rover struck the back of a Honda driven by a 38-year-old woman. The lawsuit comes just one day after authorities with the California Highway Patrol recommended that Brandy be charged with misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter.<br />Nick Velasquez, CHP spokesman, says the case is currently under review to determine whether the evidence warrants the charge. Earlier this month, Brandy publicly expressed condolences to the victim's family. Her publicist, Courtney Barnes, says the 27-year-old songbird was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the crash.<br />According to a CHP report, Brandy was driving her 2007 Land Rover on I-405 on Dec. 30 when traffic unexpectedly slowed. She hit the back of a car driven by 38-year-old Awatef Aboudihaj.<br /> Aboudihaj then hit another vehicle, slid sideways into the center divider and was hit by another car, the report said. Aboudihaj, who was a waitress in Los Angeles, died from blunt-force injuries, according to the coroner's office.<br />In part of the police report obtained by AP, the CHP alleges Brandy caused the accident by driving at a speed "greater than is reasonable or prudent" or that "endangers the safety of persons or property."<br />Brandy, who had made five albums, began her recording career at 14 and earned a Grammy in 1999. She has landed roles in movies and TV, starring in her own sitcom "Moesha" from 1996 -2001. Most recently, she was a judge for NBC's "America's Got Talent."</div>UrbanCityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18241133350741084882noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172189477290146966.post-73254713183217925682007-01-31T09:37:00.000-05:002007-01-31T09:43:06.925-05:00New Mag.

In New Single </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o102/hiphopcity/38811095.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" /></a></div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">It's been said that it's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all — and Bow Wow raps all about it in his single "Outta My System." The soon-to-be 20-year-old just shot a video for the new track from The Price of Fame in Los Angeles.In the song, Bow Wow raps, "I still got a lot of pain/ I ain't dealt with it all/ I been running round with other chicks/ I'm single and they loving it/ I'm liking it, but I just want the one I was in love with." Fans think he's rapping about his ex-girlfriend Ciara, and Bow cleared it up a little."It deals with a situation I was in, for sure," he said. "It doesn't take a rocket scientist to listen to that song and know what I'm talking about or who I'm talking to. That's why I did it. That once again deals with the price of fame."The rapper's rep said the video will be shot in black and white, and show Bow Wow in a vulnerable state because of his crumbled relationship (see <a href="http://www.vh1.com/news/articles/1544262/20061027/bow_wow.jhtml">"Bow Wow Fesses Up About Ex-Girlfriend Ciara On December LP"</a>). Bow Wow said he has talked to Ciara since their split and they have been cordial. "I'm sure she has my album just like I got hers," he said. "She told me congrats on everything. ... We had small talk and kept it moving."After "Outta My System," Bow says he might shoot a video with R. Kelly for "I'm a Flirt." Some radio stations have even started playing the song already."It was a pleasure," he said about working with Kells. "It was almost like that record wasn't supposed to happen because it was so last-second. We recorded it two days before I had to turn in my masters. ... Matter of fact, the masters were actually turned in and I called the label and said, 'I got a song with R. Kelly. Y'all gotta stop the press. This has to make the album.' The reason [the song] is not listed on [the album] is because we didn't have time to do the packaging over." </div>UrbanCityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18241133350741084882noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172189477290146966.post-11065086610820338782007-01-26T01:48:00.000-05:002007-01-26T02:08:02.989-05:00Quick News<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o102/hiphopcity/quicknews.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" /></a><br /><br /><span id="MiddleContent"><span style="color: black;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="color: black;"><span class="MsoNormal" style="" 0in="" lang="EN-GB<P"><span style="" black="" 0pt="" language="" gb=""><span style="color: black;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="color: black;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="" black="" 0pt="" language="" gb=""><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="" black="" 0pt="" language="" gb=""><span style="color: black;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="color: black;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="" black="" 0pt="" language="" gb=""><strong>The NBA's Computer Geek<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o102/hiphopcity/ae86a79a-024c-2b0e-7af9-c1a1a1d59f7.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" /></a><br /><br /></strong></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span id="MiddleContent"><span style="color: black;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="color: black;"><span class="MsoNormal" style="" 0in="" lang="EN-GB<P"><span style="" black="" 0pt="" language="" gb=""><span style="color: black;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="color: black;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="" black="" 0pt="" language="" gb=""><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="" black="" 0pt="" language="" gb=""><span style="color: black;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="color: black;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="" black="" 0pt="" language="" gb="">Microsoft has chosen Lebron James to be the spokesman for the launch of its long-awaited Windows Vista operating system.

The Laugh Factory decided that each “nigger” was worth a mere $20, bringing Wayans’ fine total to just over $300.<br />If Corley gets his way with this new rule, the rule would be expanded to include other racial slurs.<br />Corley, who is White, says he often heard the "N-word" growing up in Brazoria County, but now he says he mainly hears it in rap music and used by young people to greet each other and says the ordinance he wants to put in place would allow the "N-word" to be used a s friendly greeting.</p><p align="center"> </p><p align="center"><strong>to be honest some ppl do use it any where like da hell wit it / who cares but we [blk ppl] have the right to say it sh!t all dat we went thru so this jus pissed me off for the day.. </strong></p>UrbanCityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18241133350741084882noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172189477290146966.post-70536047191941678552007-01-25T00:36:00.000-05:002007-01-25T00:42:23.599-05:00NEW ASHANTI TRACK<div style="text-align: center;">Ashanti ft Jim Jones - You Cant Deny It<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o102/hiphopcity/9580496.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.zshare.net/audio/ashanti-feat-jim-jones-you-cant-deny-it-mp3.html">Click Here To Download.</a><br /><br /><br /></div>UrbanCityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18241133350741084882noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172189477290146966.post-23910108203842488322007-01-24T11:09:00.000-05:002007-01-24T11:11:17.615-05:00New Nick Interview<div align="center">After Seeing Himself Killed In 'Weapons,' Nick Cannon Is Ready For Fun</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o102/hiphopcity/281x211-5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.vh1.com/movies/news/articles/1550452/story.jhtml">Click Here To Read The Full Article.</a><br /></div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"> </div>UrbanCityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18241133350741084882noreply@blogger.com0
