Kim Zolciak Calls Kandi Burruss’ “Tardy For The Party” Lawsuit A Publicity Stunt And Exposes Her As A “Sloppy And Messy Musician”

Kim puts Kandi on blast ! Kim Zolciak Calls Kandi Burruss Song Lawsuit A Publicity Stunt Via NY Daily News reports: The wife of Atlanta Falcons’ Kroy Biermann has responded with vengeance to the recent lawsuit Kandi Burruss and co-songwriter Rodney Richard have filed against her for copyright infringement for the song “Tardy for the Party.” Zolciak’s rep spoke to the Daily News on behalf of the former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star, claiming the lawsuit is “a publicity stunt” for Burruss’ new Bravo show, “The Kandi Factory.” But that’s not all. The reality star is also questioning the credibility of Burruss’ experience in the music industry. “Kandi discusses her expertise in the music business and how she has the most experience in dealing with the writing of songs, which includes contracts and protecting herself,” Zolciak’s rep says, “but based on what we’ve seen with this particular song, everything she’s done is very sloppy and messy.” The lawsuit comes three and a half years after the release of the song and Burruss’ willingness to brush off the botched handling of profit sharing as a lack of music industry knowledge on Zolciak’s part. “There’s no merit to this case,” the rep adds. “The perception that Kandi and her co-writer are giving is that they have been paid nothing for the song and that Kim is inexperienced and holding out. All of those things are just the opposite.” In a statement released Tuesday, Zolciak’s spokesman claims Burruss and Richard have been paid in excess of $23,000 for the song. Kandi helped Kim create a whole brand and a HUGE hit song, now she’s snatching her wig? You can’t be serious…

Remember Me?? “I Like That” One-Eyed Singer Houston Sentenced To No Jail Time After Getting Popped For DUI

Talk about the side eye … Houston Gets No Jail Time After DUI Arrest Via TMZ reports: “I Like That” singer Houston — who famously suffered an emotional breakdown in 2005 and gouged his own eye out with a fork — has had a change in fortune … because TMZ has learned, he just got off easy in his DUI case. TMZ broke the story … Houston was arrested last year near Malibu after cops say he was driving erratically in his SUV . When cops approached the vehicle, they claim it smelled of marijuana … and Houston looked drugged out … so they placed him under arrest. But last week, the DUI charge was reduced to a minor traffic infraction … and the $100 fine was suspended … meaning Houston pretty much got off scot-free. It’s unclear why the charge was reduced. As for Houston’s 2005 breakdown — the singer reportedly first attempted suicide by jumping out of a window while under the influence of PCP. His friends stopped him, but when they locked him in a first-floor room, Houston gouged his eye out with a plastic fork. DAYUM! This is so “forked” up! We hope Houston gets well and stays away from the sporks SMH

Angry Birds: Omarosa Sues La Toya Jackson For ‘False, Vicious & Defamatory’ Slander After Accusing Her Of Killing Fiancé Michael Clarke Duncan

La Toya threw murderous shade at Omarosa and now she’s about to pay for it! Omarosa Sues La Toya Jackson Via RadarOnline reports: Omarosa Manigault is firing back at LaToya Jackson, and RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that she’s planning to sue her for the “false, vicious and defamatory” comments she made about Omarosa being involved in her fiancé’s death! On the Sunday night episode of All-Star Celebrity Apprentice, LaToya Jackson was fired by Donald Trump and made the nasty comment about Michael Clarke Duncan’s tragic heart attack and death. “She’s a conniving, scheming, cut-throat, probably pulled the cord on Michael Duncan Clarke … and I thought Mr. Trump was falling for that fake cry. Such a lie!” LaToya said after she was fired in the boardroom. “La Toya Jackson’s statement on the March 17, 2013 episode of All-Star Celebrity Apprentice, that the Reverend Omarosa Manigault caused her fiancé Michael Clarke Duncan to die, is false, vicious and defamatory,” Omarosa’s attorney told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive statement Monday. “Rev. Manigault has been heralded as a life saver for her actions on the evening that her fiancé suffered a life-ending heart attack. It is because of her bravery that Mr. Duncan — the love of Rev. Manigault’s life — was able to live for months beyond that tragic night. Mr. Duncan passed away from natural causes. “Ms. Jackson made the statement immediately after having been “fired” off the show, and blames Rev. Manigault for her loss. It is repulsive and of the lowest level of class for Ms. Jackson, who showed herself to be a “sore loser” in making these disgusting statements in the wake of Rev. Manigault’s tragic loss.” Omarosa’s attorney said that they are planning to take action after LaToya’s comments. “As her counsel, we have been directed to pursue these defamatory statements to the fullest extent of the law with La Toya Jackson and any other participating publications or media outlets who repeat or repost these statements.” Do you think Omarosa should sue La Toya??

Bogus Bolitics: GOP Crybaby John Boehner Says He Would Still Vote Against Marriage Equality Even If His Own Son Was Gay

John Boehner Says He’d Still Oppose Marriage Equality If His Son Was Gay GOP goon John Boehner says there’s a strong chance that he’d even go against his own flesh and blood all in he name of his strong opposition to same-sex marriage. via Think Progress House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) — who is spending millions of taxpayer dollars opposing marriage equality — told ABC’s This Week that he could never see himself supporting same-sex unions, despite the growing evolution towards marriage for all within the Republican Party. Responding to Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) change of heart on the issue, Boehner said that he “appreciates” his friend’s new position, but insisted that “I believe that marriage is a union of a man and a woman” and predicted that he would not change his mind even if he found out that his own son is gay: Martha Raddatz asked Bohenher: “Can you imagine yourself in a situation where you reversed your decision as Portman has on gay marriage if a child of yours or someone you love told you they were gay.” Boehner: “Listen, I believe marriage is a union between one man and one woman. It’s what I grew up with, it’s what i belive, it’s what my church teaches me and I can’t imagine that position would ever change.” Cold world.

Baby Mama Drama: Michael Jordan’s Shady Sex Instructor Mistress Demands DNA Test And Says MJ Never Denied Chopping Her Down

Where is Maury ?? Michael Jordan’s Mistress Demands Paternity Test Via TMZ reports: Michael Jordan’s alleged baby mama believes the proof is in the puddin’ … so she wants the former NBA star take a DNA test STAT … to prove he’s the father of her kid. Pamela Smith filed new legal docs this week in her ongoing paternity suit with Jordan asking a judge to force the b-baller to pony up some fluids or hairs … or skin — this after Jordan recently denied fathering her son, Grant Taj Reynolds … born back in 1996. In the docs, Pamela says she KNOWS Jordan’s the dad because they had sex approx. 9 months before Grant’s birth — something she claims Jordan’s NEVER denied — and genetic testing will prove it resulted in the pregnancy. As TMZ previously reported … Jordan filed docs of his own earlier this month, DENYING he’s the baby daddy — and claimed paternity for the teenager was established YEARS ago in a previous case. A judge has yet to rule. Isn’t it interesting that wealthy men only have sex with ladies who NEVER practice birth control?

Welfare Queens: Food Stamp Use In NYC Doubled Over The Past Decade Under Mayor Bloomberg

Food stamp use has more than doubled among New York City residents since Mayor Michael Bloomberg took office in 2002. Food Stamp Use In NYC Doubled Under Mayor Bloomberg Via DailyCaller reports: Spending on food stamps increased more than 60 percent from 2002 to 2012 — from $1.28 billion to $3.44 billion, the Independent Budget Office of New York City revealed in data released Thursday. IBO spokesman Doug Turetsky attributed the expansion to a more aggressive outreach effort by Bloomberg than his predecessor Rudy Giuliani’s administration, the New York Post reported Friday. Known for his hardline stance against sugary beverages, Bloomberg did attempt to prevent food stamp recipients from using their benefits to purchase soda and sugary beverages in 2010 — with a proposal for a two-year pilot program to see if the restriction would help to alleviate obesity. The Agriculture Department rejected the proposal calling it “too large and complex” to oversee, the New York Times reported in 2011. New York City’s expansion has been less than the rest of the nation — which has seen the program’s cost double in President Obama’s first term and quadruple from 2001-2011. Participation reached a record high in December — the most recent data month available — with 47,791,996 people enrolled in the program. IBO’s report also revealed that the number of residents on public assistance has decreased and the number of disabled New Yorkers receiving Supplemental Security Income benefits has remained steady.

Ho Sit Down: Diva Azz Nicki Minaj Threatens To Walk Off American Idol After Her Fav Contestant Voted Off

Don’t let the door knob hit ya… Nicki Minaj Threatens To Walk Off American Idol Set Via ETOnline Nicki Minaj is not proving to be a team player at the American Idol judges’ table. After storming off set during the preliminary rounds and then showing up late to Wednesday’s live show, Minaj threatened to quit Idol all together on Thursday night. “Are you kidding me?” the Super Bass singer, 30, exclaimed after Curtis Finch Jr. was voted off. Minaj was so upset she left her seat at the table. “Curtis, if you go home, I go home,” Minaj told the contestant.” I definitely think Curtis should not be in the bottom two. I mean, I love Devin but I think that Curtis, if you look at every one of his performances, I mean — come on, America, are you kidding me?” Nicki then told Curtis: “If you leave, I leave.” Fellow judge Keith Urban did agree with Minaj, adding that he too was “a little shocked.” We’re sure that Mariah maintained a professional demeanor on the outside, but inside, she was probably more excited than Jerry Sandusky at a Boy Scout meeting at the prospect of Onika exiting stage left. Ultimately, Nicki walked around the set like a little brat until she finally sat her inflated cakes back down. Image via YouTube

Dirty Bolitics: Jury Finds Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick Guilty On 20+ Counts Including Corrpution, Fraud And Extortion Charges

Kwame Kilpatrick Found Gulity On 22Charges Including Corruption And Fraud Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick has finally had his day in court following a 5-month trial in connection with a laundry list of corruption allegations that began surfacing back in 2008. via NY Times Kwame M. Kilpatrick, a former mayor of Detroit, was found guilty on Monday of a range of charges, including corruption and fraud, at the completion of a five-month trial. Jurors reached consensus on 40 of the 45 charges leveled against Mr. Kilpatrick and his co-defendants, the judge in the trial said. The verdicts brought to a close a trial in which prosecutors laid out a complex case against Mr. Kilpatrick and his co-defendants — including his father, Bernard, and a city contractor, Bobby W. Ferguson — arguing that they had used the mayor’s office to enrich themselves for years through shakedowns, kickbacks and bid-rigging schemes. The jury found Mr. Kilpatrick guilty of some 22 of the 30 charges against him, including the most serious charges, that of racketeering and extortion, which each have a maximum sentence of 20 years. In 2008, Mr. Kilpatrick resigned after text messages were unearthed by The Detroit Free Press that exposed an affair with his chief of staff. The romantic revelation led him to plead guilty to obstruction of justice charges for lying about the relationship under oath in an unrelated lawsuit against the city. But the corruption charges against Mr. Kilpatrick, filed in 2010, had been by far the most serious of his troubles. Prosecutors accused him and his close associates — a group referred to in the indictment as the Kilpatrick Enterprise — of extortion and illegally steering municipal contracts to Mr. Ferguson worth $84 million. After the verdicts were read, Mr. Kilpatrick shook his head, muttered and looked at his lawyer. Mr. Kilpatrick, whose wife and three children live in the Dallas area, could face up to 20 years in prison.
