Sixty seven-year-old Gene White was found unresponsive at a Texas strip club Friday night after receiving several lap dances. Police believe the man may have had a heart attack while being entertained at the Red Parrot strip club. According to the strip club owner, workers tried their best to perform CPR on the customer but it didn’t work, and he was pronounced dead. So far, there are no signs of foul play in the man’s death, but it’s currently being investigated.

The gossip rag has spilled the beans that Raven, who is in New York City playing the lead in “Sister Act” on Broadway, has been living with AzMarie in a condo in Manhattan. Rumor has it that Raven’s parents are furious that she has decided to lead a lesbian lifestyle.

Raven was initially mum on the rumors, but has now taken to Twitter to address the chatter. Check out what she wrote below:

“I’m living my PERSONAL life the way I’m happiest. I’m not one, in my 25 year career to disclose who I’m dating. and I shall not start now. My sexual orientation is mine, and the person I’m datings to know. I’m not one for a public display of my life. However that is my right as a HUMAN BEing whether straight or gay. To tell or not to tell. As long as I’m not harming anyone. I am a light being made from love. And my career is the only thing I would like to put on display, not my personal life. Kisses!”

Well, Will was having none of that, and when the reporter’s lips brushed against his, Will pushed the guy away then lightly smacked him across the face. Will also said that the reporter was, “lucky I didn’t sucker punch him.”

The good people over at TMZ have two different camera angles of the smack. Check out the video of the attempted kiss and smack here.

But, does Kanye have a master plan?

Now, I thought he was more or less being treated like a fool and a pawn to boost ratings of that reality show she has.

Well, I am hearing something far more sinister may be at work. I am hearing that Kanye West is basically playing Kim Kardashian. Apparently, Kanye is going to hit it and then basically use her for the massive publicity he can get from it. Lastly, he’s going to record a song or something to discuss the whole thing. I find that interesting that he’s apparently shared this with many in his immediate circle. Clearly there is a leak should this rumor be true.

Kim isn’t the most well-liked chick, but Kanye may be overstepping if he thinks America will side with him over the Armenian thicky.

September 11 is many things depending on your point of view. No need to get all up in the conspiracy theories.

But, apparently, the Queen of Disco, Donna Summer felt very strongly that the residue from Sept. 11 was the reason she succumbed to cancer.

According to a number of reports, she lived down near Ground Zero when the planes hit and the towers fell. She told many people close to her that the chemicals and the dust infected her with the now-fatal cancer that we hate. This is not inconceivable.

According to TMZ, Donna became nearly fanatical about it and would spray disinfectant and hand sheets wherever dust was present.

She said to another outlet, “I was really freaked out by the horrific experiences of that day. I couldn’t go out, I didn’t want to talk to anybody. I had to keep the blinds down and stay in my bedroom. I went to church and light came back into my soul. That heaviness was gone.”

She also said that she had a vision that terrorists would attack America. She thought this was some attack on Christianity, not an inside gig or an attack on America’s financial system as others have theorized.

“My husband and I were walking down the street. I had this feeling. I said, ‘Honey, I feel like terrorism, high on top of the buildings. I knew something was going to happen. When it did, I flipped out.”

About 1,000 people have died from 9/11 Dust and 350 of them are from cancer. I think the numbers have to be higher than that.

When asked about whether or not he supports gay marriage, 50 gave an interesting comment that has some people scratching their heads. Check out what he said below:

“I’m cool. I would like people to actually be happy. Technically, I don’t see where it fits into any religion. The Bible that they would read to marry you, it doesn’t have anything in it that says same-sex. If it does, then I would like someone to point out that interpretation. I’ve encouraged same-sex activities. I’ve engaged in fetish areas a couple times. I’m for it. I’m wondering if I’m bad for promoting it when the president says it’s fine.”

Um, alrighty then! I’m sure 50 is alluding to girl on girl action…right? Anyway, 50 also relayed some not so nice things that Jimmy Iovine allegedly said about Pastor Ma$e:

“[Diddy] picked up Ma$e, I thought he was gonna come back and see me with the paper later. He asked me for $2 million. Jimmy [Iovine] like, ‘Ma$e ain’t worth $2 million with $2 million in his pocket.’ Jimmy like, ‘Look, I wanna see this thing happen. Let’s make this thing happen and I’ll give up my profit.’ I’ve never heard him say that ever. I think [Puff] had an issue with losing Ma$e to me.”

50 also says that he and Cam’ron have a lot of joint projects in the works, including music and films. “They should look forward to us [Cam'ron] working together, music and film. We gonna be doing something that happens first of the month. We’ll swap each one of the months.”

You can listen to the whole interview here, where 50 also speaks on his rift with Lloyd Banks, The Game, and his hospital stay.

50 Cent’s Gangsta Grillz mixtape, The Lost Tape, will be out May 22.

The crew consists of Waka Flocka, Wooh Da Kid, Frenchie, YG Hootie, Papa Smurf & Bo Deal…hey wasn’t Gucci Mane a part of the crew?

Waka is currently on the cover of XXL, and does a h*ll of a job bigging up his rap crew. Check out what he told the magazine below:

“I don’t feel like a celebrity, or this quote-unquote star everybody talk about. I guess Waka Flocka like a job, honestly. I’m at my job right now, so I gotta do it to my fullest. … I got a whole label, man. We fire. We the new Wu-Tang, Roc-A-Fella. We what these labels are trying to create right now. We the new Cash Money. Squad! Flockaveli was the return of gangsta. I brought gangsta back, man.”

Those are some big shoes to fill Waka! Let’s hope they live up to Waka’s hype. Below is their track “Everything Brick Squad”. Are you guys feeling it? Do you think they have the potential to be the new Wu-Tang?

“I personally think that when I find that person and when it is established we are going to enter a serious relationship–I mean I don’t even know if I’ll still be making rap music. I don’t know how long I necessarily want to make rap music for. You know, there are artists who are 35 and up that still make rap and that still works for them. I don’t know if I want to be that guy.

“A lot of my music is about being young and figuring it all out. I don’t know if I can still make my brand of music when I am up there. Maybe I’ll be just acting or whatever it is. I plan to make as much music as I can until a story from Drake doesn’t impact you as it used to.” (i-D Magazine)

Is Drake buggin’, or do you believe there’s an expiration date for a rapper?

“Well, I was in the studio with friends and I wanted to do something and so they said – do this and it was for me. The next thing I know — that was one or two years ago and then I read online that I was a rapper and so my back-stabbing friends did that to me and so if I see them, I will act like a rapper — if you can get my drift.”

I guess we won’t be getting any new Serena Williams music anytime soon; and whoever leaked that music better watch their back. Serena doesn’t sound like she’s playing!

In related news, rapstress Rah Digga was not feeling Serena’s metaphors in the track and took a few shots at her on Twitter page, tweeting, “I’m always on top…roofer” Serena Williams’ new song…I mean…ok fine.”

I’m sure Rah Digga will be glad to hear that Serena is not quitting her day job.

Federal prosecutors and the DEA accuse Rosemond of masterminding a drug operation that imported hundreds of kilos of cocaine into the New York area and sent the proceeds to the West Coast.

Rosemond has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Yesterday (May 17) in court, Rosemond’s alleged main cocaine connect, Henry “Black” Butler took the stand.

Butler, who appeared in his green prison jumpsuit, is facing 10 years-to-life in prison, after being charged with conspiracy to distribute cocaine, a firearms possession violation, and getting caught with hundreds of ecstasy tabs.

Henry Butler is a Los Angeles gang member, who was arrested in 2010, in Thousand Oaks, California, for his role in the cocaine operation.

Butler, who is married to the sister of Hollywood director Lee Daniels, told prosecutors that James Rosemond was his biggest cocaine customer.

Butler said that he owned an urban event planning company (Mogul Media Group) and had known Rosemond for over 18 years, since 1994.

At that time, Butler said he was working as a road manager for various artists and Rosemond was managing acts as well. The pair was also partnered in the legendary “How Can I Be Down” conferences of the 1990′s.

Their relationship turned into criminal activities in 1995, when Rosemond began ordering hundreds-of-pounds of marijuana from Butler.

The marijuana orders soon turned into small orders of cocaine later that year.

In 1995, Butler said he and Rosemond began selling 2 to 10 kilograms of cocaine in various frequencies, supplied from a connection Butler identified as a man named Adolpho Guzmán.

The cocaine was first sent to Rosemond to New York in a variety of means before they perfected the shipping method.

At first, Butler and an associate would go to Best Buy and buy computer routers, unseal the packages, put the kilos of cocaine inside the router boxes and then re-seal and ship the packages.

Soon, Butler and an associate began printing their own custom-made router boxes and packaging and sending their cocaine inside of those.

The pair began shipping the kilos of cocaine and money via overnight services, after two criminal associates taught Henry Butler the proper methods of sending the illegal contraband without being detected.

Butler claimed that he and Rosemond regularly transferred hundreds-of-thousands of dollars in cash between each other for large shipments of cocaine.

But in 2010, shortly before Butler’s arrest, the pair decided to scale back the operation.

“He didn’t want to talk on the phone because things were getting hot, and he felt like he was being investigated,” Butler told the jury.

Butler claimed Rosemond began accepting cocaine and shipments of money in Philadelphia, organized by a man named Leonard Bostic.

Butler also claimed the gang used encrypted Blackberrys to send and receive messages, and they almost never spoke on the phone.

After Butler was arrested, he claimed that Rosemond hired an attorney for him, and he was later visited by a private investigator and attorney Jeffery Lichtman, who allegedly passed a note to Butler, containing sensitive information about Butler’s possibility of cooperating with authorities.

This, plus the possibility of life in prison without parole, led Henry Butler to cooperate with authorities.

But, Rosemond’s attorney Gerald Shargel attacked Butler’s credibility, noting that he had already lied about several key factors in the case.

Shargel revealed that Butler also had a Proffer Agreement with authorities that would allow him to receive a reduced prison sentence, if he supplied truthful testimony about Rosemond.

But Butler allegedly lied to agents when he was interviewed, not just once, but several times, in regards to the case.

At first, Butler told prosecutors that he and Rosemond were trafficking much smaller amounts, but those amounts increased as the case continued to build.

Butler said he lied because he wasn’t sure of how much information the government had gathered about the drug gang.

Shargel also revealed that Butler’s agreement with authorities should already be off the table, since he blatantly lied about being a gang member.

During testimony, Henry Butler revealed that he was an “OG” member of the Rolling 60′s Crips in California, a fact that Butler officially denied until last week (May 7).

“Yeah, my voice counted in the neighborhood,” Butler told the jury.

Shargel claimed that Butler has already been caught in several lies and was exaggerating his testimony for a reduced sentence.

Butler said he has met with prosecutors at least 14 times since his arrest, with several sessions dedicated to testifying.

Butler also said that he received documents from Chuck Philips that stated that Rosemond had cooperated with authorities in two separate cases in North Carolina and Florida.

Butler said he ignored the documents, along with a New York Daily News article and continued to do business with Rosemond.

James “Jimmy Henchman” Rosemond is a well-known urban music executive, who frequently did business with artists like Queen Latifah, Game, Sean Kingston and others.

His company Czar Entertainment managed rapper Game during a violent feud between 50 Cent, G-Unit, and Tony Yayo.

Their feud escalated and ultimately ended in death, when Lowell “Lodi Mack” Fletcher, an associate of Tony Yayo, was allegedly murdered on orders of Rosemond.

Fletcher had been released from prison several months earlier, after serving time for striking Rosemond’s young son.

The incident caused outrage at the time, as well as condemnation from activists like Al Sharpton.

Tony Yayo was put on probation for the incident as well.
