We been said this isht was sounding suspect as the fizzuck! But Shaq is breathing a lil bit easier today now that the judge and prosecutor have agreed his ex-friend Robert Ross is a shady wankster. According to TMZ reports : Shaquille O’Neal indirectly won an enormous victory today … after a judge threw out a case against 7 gang members who were accused of kidnapping a man in order to retrieve a sex tape of Shaq. Robert Ross — the alleged victim — claimed he had a sex tape showing Shaq with multiple women at different times while he was still married to Shaunie O’Neal. Ross claimed 7 gang members kidnapped him at the direction of Shaq and tried to beat him into submission so he would cough up the video. Today in court — in the middle of the preliminary hearing — the D.A. shocked the courtroom, stating they no longer had confidence in Ross based on his testimony and his actions outside of court. Lawyers for the 7 defendants asked the judge to immediately dismiss the case — which is exactly what the judge did. As for why the D.A. lost confidence in Ross, for starters, during his testimony in the prelim, he admitted he had lied about having a sex tape — something Shaq had denied all along. We can’t say we’re surprised because we already knew this Ross character was doing the MOST. SMH. Wonder if there was ANY truth to any of that ish he said in his lawsuit .
Plus-size fashion rules are for the birds! They’re designed to shame women into hiding their bodies, rather than empowering them to just wear what they want! Bottom Line: Rules are meant to be broken. Wear what makes you happy! Here’s what Nicolette Mason told Refinery 29 : “Head-to-Toe Black is The Most Flattering” —While I certainly love my monochromatic looks, I’m also in love with the bright, punchy colors that Jil Sander, Gucci, and Prada’s spring collections made me lust after. Now if only my budget (and waist line) were more accommodating… Plus-size retailers have followed the direction of fashion’s heavyweights (no pun intended) to offer plus-size individuals similar runway-influenced styles. Colorblocking isn’t limited to a size number! _ “Avoid Denim, Especially Skinny Jeans” —I was completely baffled when I came across a column on what plus-size women should avoid, and found that the columnist discouraged the use of denim, insisting that they only highlight problem areas. As for the “skinny jeans” part? False! Actually, if you are concerned with clothes being “flattering,” a slim, fitted cut can elongate the length of your legs, creating a slimming effect. But more importantly, skinny jeans are a good look. I’d hardly recommend you saddle up with a pair of boot cuts, right..? A great pair of well-fitting jeans are an essential part of every wardrobe! _ “Never Wear Horizontal Stripes!” —I get why stripes can be intimidating, really, but there are so many new cuts and shapes and silhouettes adorned with simple stripes that there are just too many cute options to dismiss the notion of horizontal stripes entirely. The key with styling stripes (on any body shape!) is to pay attention to fit, shape, and colors, and using these factors to help create balance in your outfit. If the thought of all-over stripes is still too much, you can break up patterns by adding a “third piece”—like a cardigan, blazer, or vest.

Producer tells Mixtape Daily he’s working with Shady Records’ Yelawolf. By Alvin Blanco, with reporting by Kara Warner Jim Jonsin Photo: MTV News Mixtape Daily: Jim Jonsin Jim Jonsin says he’s in bed by midnight, but considering his schedule, we have a tough time believing him. One of the Grammy-winning producer and music executive’s latest gigs is mentoring contestants on the current, 10th season of “American Idol.” The Brooklyn native’s job duties include cutting full cover songs within a week’s time that are then sold on iTunes . “I’m into artist development, so I like taking an artist brand new and working with them and teaching them new things and watching them grow,” Jonsin told Mixtape Daily . “They’re having to grow at lightning speed. With the music producers injected into this now, now they’re really at hard knocks, right? Not only do you have to build this performance, but now you have to record a song. And record an amazing song that’s gotta go on iTunes for sale and it reflects you and you being an artist.” Looking at his production discography, it’s clear Jonsin’s career is nothing short of amazing itself. The former engineer for Slip-N-Slide Records has gone on to produce tracks for artists including T.I., Kelly Rowland, Usher and Lil Wayne, winning a Grammy for 2008’s “Lollipop.” Some new jacks have benefited from Jonsin’s studio touch too. Wiz Khalifa’s “On My Level” from his just-released debut, Rolling Papers , is a Jonsin creation. “He’s got that Snoop Dogg vibe with his own twist, Jay-Z kinda,” Jonsin said. “Working with Wiz, it was good. He’s kind of a traditional hip-hop artist, which I love most, mixed with this edgy skater-punk spirit. He definitely blends with my character: I like that.” Jonsin also speaks highly of B.o.B. The ATL rapper/singer/songwriter’s B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray was released on Jonsin’s Rebel Rock label in conjunction with Atlantic Records and Grand Hustle Records. B.o.B and Jonsin have started working on the gold-selling album’s follow-up. “His last album kind of reflects who he is, but he’s growing into something new,” Jonsin said. “I’m waiting for what he brings us back when we go back in the studio — he’s got some ideas — to kind of see the direction he’s going in. We’re letting him lead that. He’s really talented. The guy produces, writes, he does a lot of his own stuff. I think his album will reflect that. I think this album will have a lot of his own work on it. We’re waiting on him to give us the direction. “I think there’ll be less features on this album, more him singing and rapping. Definitely less features: He wants to showcase himself more, put out more of his own ideas.” Another artist Jonsin is working with — Roc Nation’s J. Cole — surely has plenty of ideas, even if he has yet to release an album. “He’s that traditional hip-hop. I’m trying to give it a little Jim Jonsin, a little crossover, a little rock,” Jonsin said. “Some of the stuff we did was more traditional hip-hop with just a little edge to it, some rock in it. So I think we’re going to stick to that and see what happens.” Jonsin’s schedule is also booked with working with 50 Cent for the first time and with Eminem on his latest Shady Records signee’s forthcoming album. “That’s going to be fun,” Jonsin said. “We’re working for Yelawolf’s project. It’s all about Yela. We’re going to actually produce together. I get to work with Eminem producing records.” For other artists featured in Mixtape Daily, check out Mixtape Daily Headlines .

Here’s the situation: Italians are far from pleased that Jersey Shore cast members have invaded their country. The show didn’t even start filming in the region until today, but the backlash against Snooki and company has been severe across various publications, with one reader of the MTV Italia website going disturbingly far and writing: “When I see this, I wonder whether Osama Bin Laden had a point.” Whoa there. Not even Sammi is that annoying. Verbal grenades are being launched in the direction of JWOWW and Snooki. In the Rome newspaper New Notzie , meanwhile, columnist Roberto Del Bov wrote of Pauly D and his housemates: “They embody the worst stereotypes of Italians, multiplied by thousands and Americanized.” The country’s most widely read publication, Corriere della Sera , went on to describe the reality stars as a group with “slicked hair, exaggerated narcissism, boundless love for the family and outlandish eccentricity.” Exactly! Don’t worry, Italy, you’ll grow to love these people. So much so, we hope you never send them back.

He still thinks Rolling Stone magazine was on that bullsh*t for putting her on their cover. Here’s what he told 97.9 The Box’s Madd Hatta Morning Show about his Twitter comments : “I’m gonna go on the record and say I don’t have no beef with Snooki..I’m not disrespecting Snook… atleast I didn’t feel like I was.. I don’t know that girl. Congratulations Snooki, you pimped the system. You found a way to get on a magazine that has nothing to do with you… She does reality tv. Rolling Stone is a prestigious music magazine. How the Hell did Snooki get on the cover of Rolling Stone?. I was mad at the system, I wasn’t mad at her… I’ve been in the game 6 years, Ive got 3 Grammys, 3 multi platinum albums hits on myself, hits on other people and Rolling Stone ain’t so much look in my direction… I just feel like she shouldn’t be on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine.” He kind of has a point thought. Do you think he’s just being salty? Here’s Ne-Yo’s full Houston radio interview.
