Scandal Theatens Chris Brown's Tour


According to Sandra Rose... A huge scandal which threatens to disrupt the Chris Brown/Bow Wow tour. The tour kicks off on December 6 in Cincinnati. Normally I wouldn't report a story like this without solid proof. But my source is well-placed and very credible.

This is the same source who gave me the scoop on Tameka Foster's pregnancy before anyone else reported it. I have learned never to doubt my source.

The young girls who have followed Chris Brown's career since the beginning will not be happy with this news.

Apparently, rumors are flying about Chris Brown and his manager. The drama behind the scenes has become so disruptive that it threatens the start of the tour. My source tells me exclusively that Chris Brown has been intimate with his manger since she met him at the tender age of 16! And furthermore, he is "madly in love with her."

For those who are not familiar with her, Chris Brown's manager was the Senior Vice President of A&R at Def Jam when she met the young singer and attempted to sign him. She was also instrumental in signing Ne-Yo to Def Jam.

When Def Jam merged with Roc-A-Fella Records, she was forced to resign. According to Chris, who was by then smitten with the older woman, "When that happened, I asked her to be my manager, and she was happy to. She took me to Warner Brothers and Jive to look for other deals, and I ended up picking Jive at the end of the day."

This explains why Chris has never been known to have a girlfriend. Apparently, Chris' mom Joyce recently became aware of the situation and is not at all happy. "That's where the drama comes in," says my source. They say a mother always knows - but the happy couple managed to keep their relationship under wraps for 2 years.

Update: Details Emerge In The Death Of Kanye West's Mother

According to New York's Daily News, 58-year-old Donda West likely suffered uncontrolled bleeding while recovering at home from a combination breast reduction and tummy tuck procedure.

Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Andre Aboolian told TMZ that he consulted with Dr.West in June, before she opted to work with another surgeon. He reportedly told West he would not perform the operation unless she received a cardiac stress test, because of her age and a preexisting heart condition that he believe could have led to a heart attack.

Aboolian also said that West asked him whether she could recuperate at home.

"Donda was pushing me, 'Can I go home after surgery?' But I told her it just doesn't work that way," Dr. Aboolian told the Daily News. "The most dangerous time after surgery is the first 48 hours. I told her you have to go to an overnight care facility with nurses who look after you.

Aboolian added that West, who he characterized as a "sweet" woman, expressed some reservations to him about having the surgery.

"She said she didn't deserve to have this done," Aboolian remembered. "She kept asking, 'Do I really need this?' It's not like she was being vain. It was heavy on her body."

It is statistically rare for death to result from cosmetic surgery, such instances occur in only 1 in 51,459 operations according to the Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

"If, for God's sake, the surgeon tells you it's too risky, don't find someone who will do it for you," Dr. Richard D'Amico, president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, told the Daily News.

The plastic surgeon who claims to have performed West's surgery has also stepped forward to speak on the tragedy.

Dr. Jan Adams told TMZ that West's death was impossible to predict and may have been caused by a heart attack, pulmonary embolism, or massive vomiting. Dr. Adams says West consulted with him over a period of four months. Some of his accounts of her coincide with Dr. Aboolian's, particularly that West changed her mind about the procedure a number of times, sometimes greenlighting the surgery and sometimes halting it; however, Adams disputes Dr. Aboolian's comments that he refused to conduct the surgery because of a pre-existing condition that West had.

"He is sleazy and manipulating the truth to elevate his own importance," Adams told TMZ of Aboolian.


Dr. Adams maintains he did nothing wrong.

Update: Jacob The Jeweler Pleads Guilty In BMF Case, Faces 4 Years Behind Bars


After being arrested on charges that he conspired to launder money through his highly successful jewelry business, famed jewelry provider Jacob the Jeweler has pleaded guilty to lesser charges in his money laundering case.

As previously reported by SOHH, the jewelry icon (born Jacob Arobov) was arrested on charges of conspiring to commit money laundering of reportedly up to $270 million for Atlanta-based Black Mafia Family through his Jacob & Co. business.

The infamous jeweler was among 16 people indicted by a Michigan District Attorney in May for violating federal drug laws and laundering more than $270 million. Jacob is accused of accepting "dirty" money generated by the Black Mafia Family (BMF) and giving them jewelry in return without reporting the transactions.

Now, according to the Associated Press, the jeweler has pleaded guilty Wednesday (October 31) to the lesser charge of falsifying records and giving false statements to investigators looking into a multi-state drug ring. In return, prosecutors have agreed to drop the money laundering charges against him, his lawyer said.

"I realize I have made a terrible mistake and I accept the consequences of my actions," said the jeweler via a statement.

No sentencing date was immediately set by U.S. District Judge Avern Cohn but the terms of the plea agreement call for Jacob to serve up to 46 months in prison and pay a $2 million penalty, U.S. Attorney Stephen J. Murphy said in a statement.
