Looks like Diddy-Dirty Money is dunzo…at least for now.  Group member Kalenna Harper just kicked off her solo career, and says Dirty Money is no longer on her plate.

Check out her new promo pic with her new look inside….

Singer/songwriter Kalenna debuted on the scene as 1/3 of Diddy-Dirty Money, who won for Best Group at the 2011 BET Awards, alongside Diddy and Dawn Ri’chard.  But now, the 29-year-old says the group is no longer her concern–her solo career is:

"As of now, Kalenna is solely focusing on her solo career and that is all that concerns her at the moment," her rep tells TheYBF.com. "Dirty Money is a hind thought and doesn’t seem to be in any future plans."

Kalenna is set to release "Got To Work," her debut solo single and viral visual on 11/11/11.  She describes her music as "experimental harmonies over worldly tracks paired with lyrics from a diary tucked deeply into
a heart that has beat to and for so many." 

Looks like Diddy-Dirty Money is on an indefinite hiatus…or will be getting a new member.

With his nostalgia, ULTRA mixtape [DOWNLOAD HERE] constantly on repeat in many of our iTunes libraries, singer-songwriter Frank Ocean has finally stepped out of the shadows and into the spotlight. The New Orleans-native began his mini tour over the weekend in his hometown, giving the audience simple, intimate and refreshing performances of his popular tracks like “novacane”, “american wedding” and Beyonce’s “I Miss You” with a digital screen as his backdrop.

Check some videos posted on Youtube by a fan below Frank is seen rocking a black suit, with his favorite bandana wrapped around his head at Louisiana’s House of Blues. The Odd-Future affiliate has 5 more cities left on his tour: New York, Los Angeles, Amsterdam, Paris and London. Sadly, Ocean had to cancel his NYC show due to an illness. Hopefully it’s not a cold or the flu:

Back in August, LOST alum Matthew Fox allegedly drunkenly punched a female bus driver named Heather Bormann in her breast and crotch….and she pressed charges against him.

Then in September, the charges against Matthew were dropped, and Ms. Bormann was P-I-S-S-E-D.

Now, the bus driver is going to be even more pissed off, because Matthew is pulling a VERY audacious move by countersuing HER for being a “blatant liar.”

According to Matthew’s lawsuit, bus driver Bormann was the one who attacked HIM, and due to her “lies” he’s lost work.

If that’s all true, then why did U wait this long to file a countersuit, Matthew? We’ll be keeping an eye on this one with A LOT of skepticism…

What do U think? Was Matthew Fox innocent all along???

With the NBA Lockout underway, Kobe Bryant is keeping it moving with his career. With the country of Itally trying hard to sign him on their professional team, the Los Angeles Lakers star posed for the cover of GQ Italia’s November 2011 issue.

What you may not know about Kobe is that he’s no stranger to the European country. The shooting guard spent most of his childhood in Itally while his father played professional basketball for their team. Check out an excerpt from the interview below:

If there was one thing that frightened him, were the bees: “Being attacked by a swarm was a recurring nightmare. My dream, however, was to fly like Superman.”

Kobe Bryant has realized that dream. At least in part. Because the sample of the Los Angeles Lakers flew to the roof of the basketball world at least five times, as were the five who won NBA titles.

Bryant will not arrive in Italy, as he had dreamed the president of Virtus Bologna, Claudio Sabatini. But if it is true that the “Martian” did not come from us, we at GQ we went to him. Or rather: inside him. To discover his childhood, because you love so much our country, we make a personal advisor of clothing at his side. And above all, his response to the most important question of all: “Are you happy?” [Source]

We’re told a former girlfriend went to Dourdan’s home in Venice, CA Sunday night. Cops received a disturbance call at around 9 PM, arrived at the house but the woman had already left. While the cops were there, someone called LAPD and said an injured woman was in a nearby alley — it was Dourdan’s ex. Cop looked her over and it appeared she had a broken nose and she said Dourdan was the culprit. [Source]

The Jump the Broom actor is being held in jail, with his bail price set at $50,000. This isn’t the first time the 44-year-old actor has gotten into trouble with the law. At least it’s not an incident dealing with ecstasy…

Michael Jackson‘s parents — along with La Toya, Jermaine and Randy — are currently scrambling to get to the L.A. County Courthouse after they were notified the jury had reached a verdict in the Conrad Murray manslaughter case.

The entire crew is traveling from Calabasas, which — if traffic is good — can take somewhere between 45 mins to an hour. 

We’re told the family is “anxious.”

MJ’s kids are staying at home with other family members. We’re told they were instructed NOT to watch the verdict live — so Katherine could break the news herself when she got home.

It all happened late Saturday night/early Sunday morning at the Roosevelt hotel. And while rumors are swirling here in Hollywood, multiple sources insist neither Brody nor Avril started the fight.

Apparently, there was some drunk a$$hole taunting BJ, calling him a “douche” among other things. Finally, the tool made his first blow to which Brody responded.

As soon as this began, the sources say, the instigator’s friends joined in gang-style, viciously attacking both Brody and Avril.

HORRIBLE!!

BJ and Avril both seem to be doing fine with stitches and ice, but we really hope these punks are found.

Violence is never glamorous. Get the hell out of here, losers!
