*Eddie Murphy has knocked $15 million off the asking price of his home, hoping to spark some activity after it sat dormant on the market for nearly five years.

Kanye West did not die in a car accident yesterday, as was tweeted all across Twitter and the Internet late Tuesday and early Wednesday.
According to MTV.com, computer security blog Sophos.com tracked the bogus story to hackers who used the rumor to push the false reports to the top of Internet search engine results. By Wednesday morning (Oct. 21), "Kanye West died" (and variations of the phrase) had become one of the most-searched topics on Google Trends.
'Castle' star Tamala Jones is featured on the cover of Heart & Soul magazine.
In addition to talking about past relationships with rappers Nate Dogg and Big Gipp of Goodie Mobb, Jones also discusses how she nearly died from a brain aneurysm, how her home went up in flames and the reasons she regrets getting breast implants.
"I was coming out of a relationship, and I felt that I needed something new," the actress told writer Pamela K. Johnson about her initial decision to have her breasts augmented.
The 34-year-old actress, who has starred in films like 'Daddy Day Camp,' 'The Wood' and 'Booty Call,' wants to have her implants removed.

Believe the hype. This Is It dispels any doubts about Michael Jackson's creative genius.
Clearly separating him from other artists of his day, longtime collaborator and the film's director Kenny Ortega emphasizes exactly why Michael Jackson earned his "King of Pop" title. Culled from more than one hundred hours of footage, This Is It goes beyond the best of Michael Jackson's rehearsal reels. Instead, Ortega - better known now for directing the High School High Musical films than his many other achievements which include co-creating and co-directing Jackson's Dangerous and HIStory world tours, elects to highlight Michael Jackson's creative process and erases any doubt that what you saw with Michael came from anybody but him and God.
In a world of manufactured music where contemporary artists, many with big names, are unable to sing and dance simultaneously, This Is It reminds us that Michael Jackson was of a generation of cultivated and honed talent where practice did indeed make perfect. There was no resting on laurels with Michael Jackson. It wasn't just magic. It was tireless work and effort - the two attributes that aren't often applied to the genius of African-American performers so liberally.
Teyana Taylor is still not holding her tongue.
One of a short list of Chris Brown supporters left after his violent altercation involving former girlfriend and edgy pop vixen Rihanna, Taylor explained to VIBE why her solace is unwavering.
"A lot of people were jumping on different bandwagons and I really felt like that was wack," the 18-year-old Taylor told VIBE. "Before the incident between him and Rihanna, Chris had always been my brother. When we met we clicked instantly from our fashion styles to our love of basketball to dancing to everything. I've known him for four years and I was one of the only people that stood by his side when the situation happened."
I woke up this morning to see that Tyler Perry is being forced to defend himself against nasty allegations coming from Spike Lee. Spike has made it clear that he doesn’t appreciate what he perceives to be “coonery” in Tyler Perry films and TV shows. When I saw Perry flat out say that the accusations “pissed him off,” I thought, “Wow, now that’s an honest brother!”
RELATED: Tyler Perry Responds To Spike Lee’s “Coonery” Criticism
I grew up on Spike Lee and I’ll always love him. I am also certain that images of black people singing, dancing and eating chicken certainly won Perry instant favor with the not-so-in-touch executives in Hollywood. But here are three reasons that Spike Lee might be wrong about Tyler Perry:
1) Tyler Perry is not all about Madea: I went onto BET a few times to talk about Hip Hop. My hoity-toity friends in academia (many of whom pride themselves on writing research papers for journals that nobody ever reads) criticized me for being “unscholarly” by talking to rappers. But my response was that hip hop culture has a dramatic influence on the young minds that I am trying to reach with education. You don’t get a baby to eat healthy by only forcing vegetables down his throat; you sprinkle sugar on the food to get the child’s attention. It’s not always a matter of forcing people to consume what they NEED – you should also be willing to let them have some of what they WANT. Every positive black movie doesn’t have to be a PBS special.

A long-simmering disagreement between broadcaster Tavis Smiley and Texas Southern University ended Friday when the university's governing board agreed to strip Smiley's name from its communication school.
Smiley promised in 2004 to donate $1 million and to raise another $1 million for TSU. The school later created the Tavis Smiley School of Communication in his honor.
In return, Smiley made one $50,000 donation in mid-2005 and raised $250,000 from three corporate donors.
But he said Friday that he had intended to fulfill his personal $1 million pledge.
“Any institution that turns away a $1 million gift in this economy, I think ought to have good reason for doing that,” he said in a telephone interview.
He also said former university President Priscilla Slade offered to name the school for him before he pledged any money.
“I even made a joke, how much is this decision going to cost me?” he said. “She said, ‘This decision has already been made.'”
“It doesn't feel good,” he said of the board's decision. “My intentions were to help the students.”
On the same day Rihanna unleashed her new single and album release date, former boyfriend Chris Brown announced he will donate partial proceeds of his upcoming "Fan Appreciation" tour to a domestic violence intervention program.
On June 22, Brown pleaded guilty to felony assault for beating Rihanna and accepted a plea deal of community labor, five years' formal probation and domestic violence counseling.

Gabourey Sidibe is the lead actor for the upcoming blockbuster movie "Precious." The film isn't going to open in theaters until November 6, but it has been garnering Oscar buzz for months. It's executive produced by Oprah and Tyler Perry and directed by Lee Daniels of "Monster's Ball."
For the first time, we're getting a bird's eye view into the woman behind the "Precious" character. Sidibe sat with ABC's Good Morning America host Robin Roberts and revealed that she hasn't even acted before. This is her first role! She is 26 and a college student.
Rihanna is back with an official new single titled "Russian Roulette," the first release from her upcoming album "Rated R," due out Nov. 23.
The single's cover art features a topless RiRi wrapped in barbed wire.
"Rated R" is the singer's first album since 2007's multiplatinum effort "Good Girl Gone Bad." The single is her first new solo material since being assaulted by former boyfriend Chris Brown.

Former GOP Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin and talk show host Oprah Winfrey will finally meet face to face on Monday, Nov. 16, when the hockey mom is due to appear on the show to promote her new book.
The appearance comes after months of accusations that Winfrey, a proud supporter of Palin's Democratic presidential rival Barack Obama, was refusing to interview the former Alaska governor.
This week the White House released the much-anticipated official Obama family photo on its Flickr page. The portrait was taken in the Green Room of the White House on September 1 by famed Vanity Fair photographer Annie Leibovitz, notable for her decades of work capturing the images of rock stars and Hollywood's elite
as well as for her multimillion-dollar fortune's recent collapse. The seated and beaming first family looks happy and relaxed, with Sasha and Malia Obama each draping an arm over mom and dad.
I have no idea why FOX News political commentator Juan Williams is defendingRush Limbaugh, perhaps the most divisive, hateful person in American media today. I'm not sure why Williams is letting FOX News use him in the same way Armstrong Williams has always trotted out to defend conservative issues. (It's hard out there for a journalist.)
However, I do know that he does not deserve to be told to "go back to the porch," as radio talk show host Warren Ballentine said during a debate about Limbaugh last week.
The comments were made by Ballentine during a discussion with Williams on the 'O'Reilly Factor' about Limbaugh being dropped from a bid to purchase the St. Louis Rams football team. Williams and Ballentine disagreed about whether the 'Barack the Magic Negro' song that Rush Limbaugh played was "racial."
BILL O'REILLY: The reason that Limbaugh is not going to be able to buy in to the NFL is because a bunch of made-up stuff became legend, and he got hammered.
WARREN BALLANTINE: Okay, we won't look at the made-up stuff. Let's look at him playing 'Barack the Magic Negro,' and we're going to say that's just funny, that's just a joke, that's not racial either. It is racial to real black people.

The media seems to be startin' somethin' when it comes to the latest news of Marlon Wayans getting the role in the Richard Pryor biopic. Mrs Pryor is a little peeved with Mike Epps.
The following quote was posted online by Richard Pryor's wife Jennifer. Apparently, Mike Epps did something to her:
"Poor B*tch ...
He got his ass so fired from me and Richard Pryor project and now he is trying to go around talking sh*t, saying he's doing the Richard Pryor project … motherf*cker better watch his punk, country ass … it's gonna get royally sued if he wants to play this game! My lawyers are ready and waiting!!!

This past weekend, when folks were flocking to theaters to see 'Where the Wild Things Are,' 'Law Abiding Citizen' and 'Black Dynamite,' one film that was released without much fanfare was Ice Cube's latest, 'Janky Promoters.'
No trailer, one poster and no marketing spells disaster. 'Janky' isn't even listed in this week's top 125 films.
Initially set to be released last March by the Weinstein Co., the film was dropped down to its DVD division company, Third Rail Releasing. It was released in just 22 theaters, where it grossed a dismal $5,300. It averaged $240 per theater.
'Janky' follows the shenanigans of a pair of shady concert promoters (Cube and Mike Epps), who get in over their heads when they get a shot at booking a big-name hip-hop act (Young Jeezy). Complications come in the form of a pot-growing neighborhood nemesis named Mondo and Cube's character's son (Nickelodeon star Little JJ), who is under contract with the old man.
Also starring in the film are Terry Crews, Glenn Plummer and Tamala Jones.
In a call this week to the only theater in New York City where the film is playing, the operator stated that no one had bought tickets for the first two showings.

A half-marathoner and two other runners died during the Detroitmarathon on Sunday, organizers said.
Daniel Langdon, 36, of Laingsburg, collapsed at about 9:02 a.m. between the 11- and 12-mile markers, said Rich Harshbarger, vice president of consumer marketing for the Detroit Media Partnership.
Rick Brown, 65, of Marietta, Ohio, collapsed at 9:17 a.m., near where Langdon went down, and 26-year-old Jon Fenlon of Waterford collapsed at about 9:18 a.m., just after finishing the half-marathon in 1:53:37, Harshbarger said.
It was unclear whether Brown and Langdon were participating in the 13.1-mile half marathon or the full race.
Harshbarger told the Free Press that there were at least six medical stations on the race course and that emergency personnel were on the scene within seconds.
Every runner must sign a medical release form, and they are encouraged to talk to their doctors before they run the race, Harshbarger said.
"On a day when so many people bring such energy and challenge themselves to do their utmost, this news is very difficult to hear," said Free Press editor and publisher Paul Anger said. "Our deepest sympathies are with the families."

Nationally syndicated radio host Tom Joyner holds up the signed pardon given to him from Samuel Glover, right, director of the South Carolina Dept. of Pardon, Probation and Parole, as Harvard University professor Henry Louis Gates Jr., third from the right, smiles after a hearing Wednesday Oct. 14, 2009, in Columbia, S.C. A posthumous pardon was given to Joyners' great-uncles Thomas and Meeks Griffin, who were wrongly sent to the electric chair for the 1913 murder of a Confederate Army veteran.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- Two great-uncles of syndicated radio host Tom Joyner, sent to the electric chair for the 1913 murder of a Confederate Army veteran, were unanimously pardoned Wednesday by South Carolina.
Officials believe the men are the first in the state to be posthumously pardoned in a capital murder case.
Black landowners Thomas and Meeks Griffin were executed 94 years ago after a jury convicted them of killing 73-year-old John Lewis, a wealthy white veteran living in Blackstock, a Chester County town 40 miles north of Columbia. Two other black men were also put to death for the crime.
"This won't bring them back, but this will bring closure. I hope now that they rest in peace," Joyner said. "This is a good day."
Joyner, who lives in Dallas, and his attorney made a presentation to the state parole and probation board on Wednesday, then left the room while the board voted. Family members who flew in for the hearing included his wife and sons, of Dallas, and brother and his family, from Jackson, Miss.
Though he talks to roughly 8 million listeners on the radio daily, Joyner said facing the seven board members "scared me to death." When he was told how they voted, he said he waved his hands and hugged family members in a flood of relief and joy. He also called in to his radio show.
Joyner learned about his uncles' fate two years ago during filming of the PBS documentary "African American Lives 2," which traced his lineage and 11 others' through the research of Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr.
For those who didn't see James Toback's critically acclaimed biographical documentary on Mike Tyson, Oprah Winfrey is giving an up-close-and-personal look at the former heavyweight boxing champion.
The media maven's intimate interview with "Iron Mike" will air on Oct. 12, and BV Newswire has learned that during the no-holds-barred chat no topic was off limits.
The Brooklyn-born pugilist talks candidly about it all, including his disastrous marriage and divorce from former TV star Robin Givens;his trial and three-year imprisonment for rape; his ear-biting bout with Evander Holyfield, the award-winning film 'Tyson,' which has generated Oscar buzz; and the tragic death of his daughter.

Coming out this week is 'Good Hair,' a wonderfully insightful and entertaining, yet remarkably serious, documentary about African American hair culture.
Directed by funnyman Chris Rock, the film explores hair salons and styling battles, scientific laboratories and Indian temples to explore the way black hairstyles impact the activities, pocketbooks, sexual relationships and self-esteem of black people.
Known for her roles in 'Soul Food,' 'The Best Man' and 'Love Jones,'Nia Long was among the celebrities who candidly offered her stories and observations to Rock.

Hair Apparent caught up with one of our favorite hair girls -- Raven-Symoné. Though her show 'That's So Raven' is now in syndication, one of the things that riveted us to Raven, other than her outsize talent, was the fact that her hair miraculously transformed into chic cuteness each week.
When did you get your first perm?
”When I got my first perm it was April 11 and I was around 13 years old. My first like sew-in weave, I don't remember my age but I remember what kind. It was a curly and short and it had red streaks in it. I remember saying, oh my goodness, it's so much hair on my head. It was probably like 7 ounces. And I remember taking it out the same day. Now, I don't go out without 12 ounces. I'm totally addicted. But I have to say, I'm addicted for work. When it's time for me to work, I put my weave in and I like it to look cool but when I'm by myself at home, I wear my hair natural.”

Chris Rock’s documentary, Good Hair, opened Friday to mixed, but frequently positive, reviews. I’m going to take the painful stance of suggesting that’s because there aren’t a lot of black women in the film reviewing community. Good Hair is often funny, fascinating, and raises a few key ideas. What it doesn’t do is offer a cogent, relevant analysis of why black women relax their hair or wear hair extensions — which was supposed to have been the point.
Some background: Rock says he did the film because his daughter came to him one day, upset, that she didn’t have “good hair.” This apparently prompted the comedian to begin an odyssey that took him from the hair salons of New York City to a hair show in Atlanta, from Indian hair-shaving ceremonies, to the Beverly Hills salons that buy the Indian hair. But in all that conversation what you never hear are opposing viewpoints. Nearly everyone in Chris Rock’s movie seems to agree on a few critical ideas (that can happen when you limit your sample). Frankly, as a black woman, I sat through Good Hair with one dominant thought: Who are these people? Their opinions rarely represented my own, or those of anyone I know. I am but one voice in this vast, complicated community, but I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t say something. Here, a few of the ways Good Hair gets it entirely wrong.

Compton's Most Wanted The Game is being sued by his attorneys who claim that he skipped on their lawyer fees. His attorneys, Kinsella Weitzman Iser Kump & Aldsert filed a suit in L.A. County Superior Court claiming that The MC owes them $34,683.90.
The firm successfully represented the MC who only ended up serving eight days on what could have been a 5-year sentence. The Game allegedly threatened a man with a gun during a basketball game and assaulted him as well.
In related news, The Game has reportedly ended his beef with his mentor Dr. Dre and was recently back in the lab working with Dre and Snoop on the long-awaited Detox album. Only time will tell if the ten-year old promised will ever be released but in the meantime The Game's forth album, The R.E.D. Album is scheduled to hit stores in December.

When you play for a city's two biggest professional sports teams, you'd think that there would be a sense of unity and camaraderie among athletes. That doesn't seem to be the case with Cleveland Cavalier LeBron James and Cleveland Browns wide receiver Braylon Edwards. According to a report from the Associated Press, after the Bengals beat down the Browns on Sunday, Edwards went clubbing at a venue where one of LeBron's good friends, Edward Givens, promotes club nights. An argument between Edwards and Givens ensued, and it ended with Givens at the hospital with a black eye and a cut.
"Braylon comes up and started saying things, degrading me," Givens told the Cleveland Plains Dealer. "He said if it wasn't for LeBron or the Four Horsemen [James' friends and business partners], I wouldn't have what I have, nor would I be able to get girls. Everyone knows Braylon has a problem with LeBron.
According to EUR Web:
A rep for Shante explained that Cornell’s Web site had posted a picture of the artist and listed her name as “Dr. Shante,” when in fact, she “didn’t receive the years of education to constitute a PhD. She did not falsely promote herself as a PhD, but rather she continued what the college started in how they basically said she was a doctor.”
On Thursday, Shante sent us the following statement responding to the controversy:
I would like to thank my long time fans and supporters for your continued support. I am humbled and grateful to all of you for that.
Without going into all of the details as of right now, I would like to apologize that this story regarding my post recording career has caused such a ruckus. The entire story will be revealed at a later time.
Throughout my career and life, I have been faced with many challenges, both professionally and personally. Like all of you, I am human, and may have not made the correct decision all the time. And, like anyone else, I would like to think that my entire life or career is not judged by one error or mistake.
It is very easy to criticize someone and I have left myself open to criticism. That is fair.
There are plenty of people that will attest that I have done a lot for them. It seems though, that negativity gets more attention than positivity.
All I can say to that, is before you level any further criticism and cynicism, walk in my shoes. I am making this statement to apologize to the people that truly care about me for any angst that this situation has caused, and to thank them for their continued support. I am proud of what I have been able to do for so many others, and would like to let those persons know that I will continue to be there for them no matter what.
I am proud that during my twenty plus years as a pioneer in the Hip-Hop industry to have opened doors for those who came after me.
I will have no further statement in regards to this matter at this time
Please contact my management at Spydo Music xxx-xxx-xxxx or my publicist Belinda Foster at xxxx for any further inquiry.
