While you were busy hitting up gangs on your speed dial…Chris Stokes…Brandy was released of all charges against her. The L.A. City Attorney has decided not to file charges against Brandy over the fatal car accident she was in last year. Her lawyer tells TMZ:

These past 12 months have posed an extraordinary hardship for Brandy and her family, who have been unfairly forced to live under a cloud of suspicion initially caused by the ill-advised and premature press release sent out by the California Highway Patrol accusing Brandy of wrongdoing before the police investigation was even finished. However, Brandy continues to be mindful that she was so fortunate to be uninjured in this accident and there was a life lost that should be remembered.”

Case closed…criminally. Now maybe her lil brother can stop acting out trying to get all the family attention…

MJB looked fab at her listening session last night in the NYC.  And YBF NY correspondents Tichanda and Kisha hit it up:

Y’all know her MANager Kendu was there.

So Ne-Yo was spotted at Club Element in the NYC Friday night: 

And once he figured out he was on camera:

Tyra better come get this dude for ANTM.  And it looks like he’s gotten over the Double Up Tour debacle.  My sources tell me he was extra snug with the groupies all night.

So Jamie Foxx has some new tv deals in the works:

Jamie Foxx signs a two-year deal to produce unscripted shows for MTV and VH1, with the first product of their new union being From Gs to Gents, a series “in which a group of men are given social makeovers in a bid to turn them into gentlemen,” efforts that a guest-starring Foxx will entertainingly attempt to thwart by dragging them to nightclubs, pouring alcohol down their throats, and urging them to “make it rain” upon nearby members of the opposite sex.

Oh hells no. This sounds like nothing but the male version of Charm School gone extra wrong and we definitely don’t need that. Can we PLEASE stop anymore foolishness showing black folks (y’all already know the damn deal so don’t even trip) acting like foolywang material for 15 minutes of fame? I mean…are we really still “making it rain” in the clubs? Seriously? I can’t take it. Read The Rest

So Nelly talked to the folks over at SOHH.com about why Essence will never put him on the cover.  He says there’s a double standard of hip hop acts v. TV acts:

You look at Essence magazine, and they wouldn’t put a rapper on the cover…They wouldn’t put Nelly on the cover of Essence. Why? I don’t know. Would I like to do it? Of course I would. Why not?

You wouldn’t put me on the cover because of the ‘Tip Drill’ video … that’s probably your main focus,” he added. “But yet still, you put Halle Berry on the cover. She’s had a 15-minute sex scene with some white guy in front of a couch … I mean you can’t tell me that ‘Tip Drill’ was worse than watching that sex scene between Billy Bob (Thornton) and Halle Berry. You can’t tell me that. That was longer than four or five minutes. You feel what I’m sayin’?

Boy stop.
