Jigga what? Jigga WHO?

With the Live Nation Deal looking as questionable as Kobe in the Finals, Dame might have one upped his former business partner.

Props to him and his wifey rockin that power couple steeze. Dash's boo came through when his Mogul Steeze was all but evaporated.

Props to a real Mogulette who can handle the rock when the Pringles are down and come thru for a Boss.

That's the wifey steeze all real Moguls should aspire for.

Dayum.

According to a TEXT MESSAGE sent to Perez Hilton, it seems that Eddie Winslow has been layin his goon hand down on his (*ahem*) fiance, Karrine Stephans lately.

She says:

"It's Karrine. U have to help me. My boyfriend just tried to run over me with his car. [I] Just made a police report. In August, he placed me in a choke hold at a strip club on my birthday. There's a report and photos of that. There was another choking I never reported but is now being investigated. I lied to the city attny to save his ass but I'm DONE. He'll kill me if I go on with this. YES…Eddie Winslow from Family Matters! I have to give you this story. Pls!"

I wonder if those Lil Wayne "homie-lover-friend" conversations she and Weezy openly bragged about in Vibe Magazine way back had anything to do with this?

She was gettin pretty gully, talkin to Wayne on the phone while her and Eddie lived together. Why anyone would wanna wife this one is beyond me...she's had more laps put on her than 12 Daytona 500s. Besides, its not like Eddie's got the Pringles to blow into the wind on her anyways...I know its 2008, but Hoes still=/=Housewives. Sorry, but if this Mogul's Cuffing for Life, its power couple or nothing.

Still its no excuse to use Karrine as terrain to test the Double R suspension on.



BTW, since when is Perez the hood solution for Domestic Violence?

Thoughts???

Moguls Need Love Too - Alicia Keys

No. This one hurts. Alicia...how could you do this to me? I was down for you since Songs in A Minor dropped. I was feeling your Wifey Steeze off this As I Am, as well as the whole African getaway/AIDS Documentary. You just had to do it...you KNEW charity made you that much sexier didn't you. Stop it, girl.

But then I see this.

Alicia Keys will marry her music producer boyfriend Kerry 'Krucial' Brothers in New York this summer (08), according to reports.

American magazine Star claims the couple has booked Oheka Castle on Long Island for a ceremony on Independence Day - 4 July (08).

Bosses at the 32-bedroom French-style chateau have confirmed a wedding will take place that weekend, but have refused to reveal the identity of the bride and groom.

Keys and Brothers have never spoken openly about their relationship. They have been songwriting partners for years, co-owning the KrucialKeys production company and New York's Oven Recording Studios.

A representative for the R&B star has yet to confirm or deny the wedding reports.

Look, I know you heard about the Stacy Dash scenario ....That was only because I thought you needed space after your little breakdown. You're the real Wifey for me...always have been and always will be. You know you're my boo...Its the only way I know how to rock.

Moguls Need Love Too - Kanye vs Jay-Z

Just when all the Stans thought Kanye and Alexis were the new Jay-Z and Beyonce, Yeezy, like he is known to do, flipped her ass like an Al Green sample. Seems his Glow in the Dark Tour (which was so good I'm going twice) is his new focus now. I don't blame him...Theres no way Alexis could compete against a show that dope. However...

The Chicago Sun-Times quotes a "close friend" of Kanye West and his ex-fiancée Alexis Phifer who says their split may not be as final as recent reports suggest.

According to the newspaper's Bill Zwecker, the source said Tuesday: "I'm not convinced they are truly, totally over. They have had their ups and downs and, sure, things aren't working for them now. But I still think at some point Kanye will realize this is a great girl. She knew him before he had really hit it big — though he was on his way. It's the ones who were there with you, before fame hit, that make the best friends — and best partners in life."

I'm a little disappointed...this was the flyest couple in the game. As much as I hope they work it out, I don't care how much taller than Ye Alexis is. His Pringle stacks after this tour will make her look like shes standing next to the Burj Dubai. Sad to see things go that way...Strap it up Ye...you keep hittin that and Alexis will be getting her Kim Porter on in no time.

On a lighter note, Jigga & B are OFFICIALLY married. Jigga probably wanted to wait for the lawyers to finish drafting the preunps before he signed his life away. Don't get me wrong, Beyonce is gorgeous beyond measure. These too have been destined by the stars to be together. We all saw this coming. Its just that with the way some of these trifflin chicks get down these days, no Mogul's stacks can be too safe.

Kanyizzle might have bested Jay as his protege musically (sorta), but Looks like the Old Head still pulls rank with his Power Couple steeze.
