Martin Lawrence- "I'm Back B*tches"
Looks like ole Marty-Mar is coming back to the small screen where he found the most love. He’s got a few shows in development. We are sorely in need of a good black comedy.
Former hit TV star Martin Lawrence is slowly making his way back to television.
Though, this time, he’s doing things behind the camera.
Lawrence currently has three shows in development with his production company Runteldat and two shows even have network commitments.
Fox has picked an animated comedy of his, written by Rodney Barnes, which is based on his experiences growing up in the D.C. area.
The former Martin star is also developing a family comedy set at a funeral home.
Lawrence is also working on one featuring an interracial family which, is based on the comedy of Gary Owen and that’s been picked up by Starz.
Darice Rollins, Runteldat’s director of development, added “We all thought he is hilarious.”

Jill Scott - delivers New Baby and Files for Divorce.....
Jill Scott and her man, John Roberts aka “Lil Jon” are done. Right after of her son Jett was born, things got messy and now they’ve gone the way of every black couple in Hollyweird these days – to divorce court. Damn yall – can’t we all just get along
ESSENCE.COM: Well, at least your hubby-to-be was there to support. How has he been adjusting to Jett?
SCOTT: Yes, he was there and for a couple of days afterwards while I stayed in hospital, but John and I are no longer together. When you have a baby you’re dealing with a lot of emotions and I don’t know how much of it had to do with us breaking up, but it happens.
We definitely love our son and we are co-parenting and working on being friends. It is what it is. I have a lot of support, so I want for nothing as far as that’s concerned. I know some might criticize me or the fact that my son is being raised in a single-parent home, but I wasn’t raised in a two-parent home and I had a good relationship with my dad. I have hopes for him and I’m sure his father will do his part as well.
Well wish you the best of luck.

T.I. Catches Deadly Virus behind Bars
Damn, ole boy just got locked up and now heís fighting some deadly virus. T.I. can't catch a break. Pop the lid for more
Incarcerated rapper Clifford T.I. Harris Arkansas prison has reportedly been hit with an unknown virus outbreak which has resulted in suspended visiting hours.
While the rapper's health condition is currently unknown, the virus is reportedly spreading throughout the facility.
Authorities say visits with inmates have temporarily been suspended at the federal prison in Forrest City because of an illness outbreak. The prison says visits have been temporarily suspended because of a number of inmates with a ìsuspected gastrointestinal virus.î
Prison officials say they donít yet know whatís sickened the inmates, but that they donít suspect swine flu. A prison official says visiting hours will resume once the virus is contained. (WXVT News)
Federal Bureau of Prisons spokesperson Traci Billingsley has confirmed the virus's existence.
A number of inmates recently became ill and have been treated at the prison, said Traci Billingsle. The symptoms appear to dissipate within 48 to 72 hours, she said. Swine flu is not suspected because these all are all gastrointestinal-related, Billingsley said. Visits were suspended Friday.
They will resume when medical personnel are certain there is no risk of exposure, Billingsley said. The prison in Forrest City is a low-security facility housing male inmates, including rapper T.I., who is serving a yearlong sentence on a weapons charge. (The Morning News)
No information on Tip's health conditions have been released as of today (June 22).

Foxy Brown Was on Some VIP Mess in the Joint
Foxy Brown didnít do the pen like Lil Kim did. She had her designer clothes, accessories and groupies while she did her stint up at Rikersí Island. Pop the hood for more
A day after reports leaked online which said Foxy Brown received celebrity treatment while serving her prison sentence last year, a corrections spokesman has denied these claims.
Spokesperson Stephen Morello has responded to the allegations that Foxy was able to wear Gucci sneakers in jail and received media interviews.
Morello said that Brownís 2008 jailhouse interview and photo shoot with a hip-hop magazine, her sporting Gucci sneakers and a Fendi scarf in the prison, and purported extended visits in her cell with a chaplain fell within normal guidelines. ìInmates were entitled to wear their own clothing, he explained.
That's her choice. The interviews were approved by the [Department of Correction's] Department of Media Services. We do it as a matter of routine.He noted that The Post has conducted many interviews in city jails and that Brownís lasted for about one hour, which is standard procedure. (New York Post)
Reports spread online over the weekend which said Brown received special treatment.
She spent her time prancing around in Gucci sneakers and a Fendi scarf, and when those got soiled, her jailhouse entourage brought her clean ones. Princess Foxy even got some free press for her new album and guards organized a photo shoot and interview with a magazine that featured Brown in time for the albumís release.
Some people within the Department of Corrections are furious that guards jumped at the opportunity to be lackeys to Brown behind bars. And they say it's not the first time a star gets an easy time behind bars, courtesy of corrections officers. (NBC Chicago)
Earlier this year, the rapper inked a blog entry which spoke on her experiences being locked up at Riker's Island prison.
On Riker's Island,she wrote. Looking at an eight-month bid. Since Shyne got 9, hip-hop's been on trial.It was during those 23 hours, EVERYDAY, that I looked long and hard at myself. Who I was from young Inga to Foxy Brown to a number on a docket.I learned to be grateful to be given another chance. And now I just got to show and prove not to the world, but to myself.
The rapper served just over eight months of a one-year sentence prior to being released on April 18, 2008.
This is a big day for me,Brown told SOHH. To have everybody here that I love, my whole family, the whole Brooklyn, the officers that took care of me at Rikers. Eight months to the day, I remember going in August and I said when I come out, I'm coming out even better. And I'm back baby, it's a wrap.(SOHH)
This is the definition of ghetto. Come on Foxy. You can go one day without wearing your Gucci and Fendi, right?

R.Kelly Pee'd Off over Scam Allegations
R. Kelly has been dragged into a massive investigation in South Africa -- but the singer claims he's the victim of a grifter gone mad.
It all started when a woman accused of scamming more than 50 people out of tons of money claimed Kelly played a part in the plot.
She allegedly conned her victims into investing money in an R. Kelly tour that never existed. The woman reportedly says she deposited the money into Kelly's bank account.
She's been charged with more than 60 counts of fraud -- and Kelly is wanted for questioning.
Kelly is vehemently denying involvement -- his publicist said:
"The woman has no connection at all with R. Kelly. This is just some con woman who swindled a bunch of people out of money. R. Kelly had no knowledge of this, he's just as upset as anyone."
