Mel B. (Scary Spice) is taking it all off

I'm hearing whispers that Mel B. is cashing in on everyone salivating over her trim post Eddie Murphy's baby body.

The former Spice Girls member is taking it all off for Playboy magazine.

Naturally people are questioning if Mel's got some undisclosed money problems.

Lil Wayne's a no-show again!!

Once again Lil Wayne has skipped out on a show with no warning or reason. He was set to perform in Nassau, Bahamas this past weekend and didn't. The host of the concert says that he was indeed on the island, but he was "being a prick about performing". No word on whether his absence was money related.

YBF sources say that people even bought $20,000 suites at the venue Wayne was supposed to perform at. And the promotion company hosting the concert is not giving any refunds to anyone as of yesterday. Damn! So of course, the Bahamians are in an uproar right now and are protesting against the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism.

The Pussycat Dolls, Jazmine Sullivan and Joe all debuted in the top 10 this week on the Billboard Top 200.

According to the Nieslen SoundScan, The Pussycat Dolls led by Nicole Sherzinger moved an estimated 74,000 units with Doll Domination earning it the No. 5 spot on the charts.

Jazmine Sullivan's debut album Fearless checked in at No. 6 selling an estimated 65,000 copies on the strength of her hit reggae fused single "Need U Bad."

In exchange for getting all criminal charges dropped in his July assault case, Compton rapper The Game has agreed to begin taking anger-management sessions.

According to TMZ, the Black Wall Street leader was present at a court hearing Tuesday (September 30) where he faced battery charges for allegedly assaulting a relative during his cousin's funeral last July. Avoiding time behind bars, Game is now required to serve a minimum of 36 anger-management meetings before February 2009.

MediaTakeOut.com just learned that over the weekend actor Cory Hardrict and his wife actress Tia Mowry (from the hit series The Game, Sister Sister) were the victims of a HOME INVASION.

The couple's Los Angeles home was burglarized by a group of men who brazenly entered the home with the intent of stealing Cory and Tia's hard earned valuables - and possibly more.

But the criminals weren't prepared for the fight that they got. Cory leaped into action and managed to chase the robbers from their home without any harm coming to himself or his wife. But don't worry guys, no one was hurt.

Unfortunately, however, the robbers managed to make off with nearly $100,000 in jewelry and audio equipment.
