Lil Wayne wants to spend a night in Paris, or tell us about the night he just spent there. It’s unclear, but you gotta hear this new track he recorded with Paris Hilton (seriously). Paris hopes to feature this on an upcoming album, and on it, Weezy raps and references the Paris Hilton sex tape , which put her on the map back in aught three: Paris Hilton – Last Night ft. Lil Wayne “Last night was awesome / Super f**king awesome / It was me, myself, and I, and her / We had ourselves a foursome … Excuse my french, but f**k the cameras / I wanna spend a night in Paris.” Don’t we all, Lil Wayne. Don’t we all. (Not really.)
Guess his ‘no fly’ Dr.’s note didn’t fly with the judge. According to TMZ : Lil Wayne just lost his case against Quincy Jones III over the documentary about the rapper, and even worse for him, he lost the countersuit QIII filed against him. The jury ordered Lil Wayne to pay Quincy $2,195,000. Quincy’s countersuit alleged Lil Wayne wrongfully jock blocked the release of the film, screwing up its profit potential. We broke the story … Lil Wayne never showed up in court for his trial. The day he was supposed to testify he was a no-show because he had suffered several seizure-like episodes and was prohibited from flying. As a result, his lawyer was left to show the jury Wayne’s deposition, in which he refuses to answer questions and mocks the proceeding. Don’t crack on your own court proceedings Weezy. SMH.

The writer whose anti-Kate Gosselin tell-all book controversy resulted in legal threats and the book being pulled from Amazon says he’s got more dirt to dish yet. Robert Hoffman, author of the e-book Kate Gosselin: How She Fooled America , paints her as a grating hypocrite capable of abuse and violence toward her kids. Hoffman once reported her to Child Protective Services and claims Kate is continuing to “exploit and humiliate” her eight children by filming a new reality show . He admits he has not verified the information about the show but heard about it through a very credible source – one who says high-level people are involved. “I got a call from a source who told me about Kate filming the kids with someone else in the past two weeks for a new reality show. The person is a big name,” he says. Hoffman says he wrote about the 37-year-old reality star to expose her time in the limelight as an “eight-year web of lies, abuse, greed and manipulation.” Jon Gosselin was rumored to have leaked and/or stolen information about Kate for his book, although Hoffman denies this, saying he found Kate’s hard drive in a dumpster. That story sounds about as real as Kim Kardashian ‘s marriage to Kris Humphries. [Photo: WENN.com]
Lil Wayne was a no-show at his scheduled trial date Monday, and the judge presiding over the rapper’s lawsuit against Quincy Jones III is far from impressed. Weezy apparently suffered “several seizure-like episodes” and will sit the trial out , meaning the jury will only have his video deposition to go on. Yes, this deposition: Lil Wayne Suing Quincy Jones III Lil Wayne Talks to God (G-O-D) Wayne is suing Quincy Jones III over a documentary he filmed about the Young Money founder that he calls a “scandalous portrayal.” But he won’t show up in person. LW did not appear today, however, due to a “medical emergency” on Thursday on board a private jet. The pilot said he had seizures and was hospitalized. The judge chastised Wayne for displaying “unreasonable conduct in the deposition” and “irresponsible behavior” for not bothering to show up in court. His lawyer will play his deposition for the jury, but the virile, tattooed hit-maker won’t be there. The Lil Wayne deposition video , of course, shows him giving smart-ass, nonsensical non-answers to the opposing counsel’s questions and acting like a total jackass. Hilarious to celebrity gossip fans, yes. Effective testimony in a lawsuit? Mmmnot so much.
Lil Wayne Lets Fans Know He Is ‘Good’ While On Bed Rest Following Seizures After reportedly being hospitalized due to suffering two seizures in 24 hours, YMCMB bossman Lil Wayne wants his fans to know that he’s getting rest and getting better. MTV News released this statement from Wayne’s camp earlier this morning: Lil Wayne is doing just fine. Seems like initial reports that the Young Money boss suffered a seizure-like medical scare on his private jet were a tad overblown. “Lil Wayne was successfully released from the hospital after being treated for a severe migraine and dehydration,” his rep said in a statement to MTV News. “He is at home on doctor-mandated rest and will return to work soon. He appreciates all of his fans for their support and love.” Following the release of the statement, Weezy also took to Twitter to personally confirm the news: Images via Twitter
