Interesting. Though the trio is apparently done for good over Tyrese’s refusal to share equally with his “brothers,” a rep for Tyrese says that the singer always had the highest pay, and simply wasn’t interested in a change of terms. Via TMZ: A rep for Tyrese says the group’s money was never split equally because the economic fact is Tyrese has had more chart success on his own. The rep did not deny money was behind the breakup. On a personal level … the rep said Tyrese still considers Tank and Ginuwine his brothers, but “business is business.” Welp. For those holding out hope for TGT to reunite, you can pretty much chalk this group as a fond memory. We wonder why Tyrese made it seem like a Ginuwine thing in the beginning… TMZ
Tank And Tyrese Discuss TGT Break Up On Social Media We reported last week that R&B supergroup TGT was officially donezo!

Wade Robson, who accuses Michael Jackson of molesting him, says a big part of coming forward was that he wants to help child sex abuse victims. The 30-year-old dancer/choreographer is launching his own foundation to help child sex abuse victims through new age healing, according to reports. Robson founded a non-profit organization called “Hearts in Our Hands” on July 1. His rep says the group will be dedicated to preventing abuse, and taking a holistic approach – meditation, therapy, yoga – to treating abuse victims. Wade is very much into yoga himself lately, according to sources. Robson made headlines this spring when he said Michael Jackson molested him as a child – repeatedly at that, when Wade was 7-14 years old. The Jackson Estate and family members have dismissed Wade’s claims as a money grab, but he claims he only recently broke free of the brainwashing . Do you believe Robson’s claims against Jackson? He’s totally lying and just wants money. It’s probably true and MJ should pay. View Poll »
Erykah Badu is one angry singer. The artist has gone off on the Flaming Lips because it used naked photos of her and her sister in its video for “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face,” naked photos – such as the one below – Badu says the group did not have permission to release. “I never would have approved that tasteless, meaningless, shock motivated video,” Badu Tweeted this week, aiming her ire at frontman Wayne Coyne. Badu did collaborate with the band on the single, but insists she asked for no role in what she describes as “soft porn” and refers to the video as “unedited” and “unapproved.” “That all spells 1 thing, Self Serving,” Erykah ranted. “When asked what the concept meant after u explained it, u replied ,’it doesn’t mean anything, I just want to make a great video that everyone is going to watch.’ I understood, because as an artist we all desire that. But we don’t all do it at another artist’s expense. I attempted to resolve this respectfully by having conversations with u after the release but that too proved to be a poor excuse for art.” The video has since been taken down and Coyne has tried to apologize via Twitter. He wrote: “We, the Flaming Lips, accept full responsibility for prematurely having Pitchfork post it. It has outraged and upset a segment of fans and we apologize if we offended any viewers!!! This is a Flaming Lips video which features Erykah Badu and her sister Nayrok and is not meant to be considered an Erykah Badu or Nayrok statement, creation, or approved version.” A case of too little, too late? We assume so. Don’t start lining up for Erykah Badu/Flaming Lips tour tickets any time soon.
