Game’s Video Shoot With Breezy In L.A.
Law enforcement sources tell us the armed robbery went down Tuesday in South Los Angeles — and the producer was sitting in his car with another person when 2 black male suspects walked up, pulled out a gun and demanded the goods. They made off in a gray Nissan Altima.
Sources on the music video shoot say the producer — named Mars — had walked about a block from the set when it happened. We’re told the suspects took his jewelry and his wallet … which was stuffed with a couple thousand bucks.
Chris Brown and The Game were on set at the time of the robbery, but were not near Mars.
A rep for Game said nobody on set saw the incident go down — and that everyone on set usually has security when they walk around.

On Putting Her Family First
“I had to make choices. Believe me, I would still be on the road with my band, Wicked Wisdom, and making as many movies as I can a year, and doing all sorts of other things if I didn’t have the responsibility of a family. But I have children with their own talents and dreams, and I know I have to be standing next to them for that journey.”
On Raising Her Kids in Hollywood
“Let me tell you what I fear most: Them growing up like I did, in a house with drugs in a war zone, where if I walked out my door I could be shot. Hollywood ain’t nothing compared to that! Growing up in the streets of Baltimore, or the streets of Philly where Will grew up — I’d rather have my kids here. It still makes me nervous that they’re part of something that isn’t totally real, but it’s up to Will and me to teach them what’s real and what’s not.”
On Giving Up on Her Rockstar Dreams
“It was excruciating, completely excruciating. When Jaden was auditioning for The Pursuit of Happyness, my band had just gotten an offer to open for Guns N’ Roses in Europe. For me, that was unbelievable. But the choice was: I could be a rock star, or I could be on the set with my son to make sure he was healthy and happy. We all know how that story ended!”

Gilbert Arenas Wants To Halt Production of ‘Basketball Wives’ LA
A few weeks ago, we dropped the tea that his ex-fiance’ Laura Govan would be featured on the LA Edition of Basketball Wives and now it’s being reported that Gilbert is asking a judge to halt production of the show.
Gilbert claims that Laura’s participation in the show is illegal exploitation of himself and his likeness, and that she signed up to be on the show with the sole purpose of becoming a popular reality television personality. Though he admits that the show doesn’t mention him by name, it nonetheless is detrimental to his character:
“…the very presence of defendant Govan and the title of the show is an obvious reference to [Arenas].” And Arenas notes his name was used in the press release announcing Govan had joined the cast.
Gilbert claims Govan and the producers have no right to use his name or likeness — expressed or implied — so he’s asking a judge to slap an injunction on the show so it can’t air.
In addition to wanting the show scrapped, Gilbert wants a monetary settlement.
These NBA players are not having it!
Gilbert reportedly ended their 9 year relationship last year, leaving Laura Govan while she was pregnant with her fourth child. A few weeks later, Laura Govan had him served with child support papers as he walked off the court during a game.
According to our sources, the baby shower for her son Aloni Kianno Arenas (born on June 1st), will be a part of the series that will premiere in August.

After 12 years, Sean Combs finally pays up
The exact terms of the settlements were unknown because of confidentiality agreements between the parties, but former Club New York owner Michael Bergos, who did not sign the confidentiality deal, said the most seriously injured victim, Natania Reuben, was paid $1.8 million.
Reuben, now 40, was shot in the nose and suffered seizures because of seven bullet fragments still lodged in her face.
Two other victims were paid $500,000 and $50,000. Bergos said he was unsure who paid what amount in the deal, but Barrow’s and the club’s shares were picked up by insurance companies, while Diddy — who was acquitted in the criminal case related to the brawl — had to pay out of pocket because his insurance company had gone belly up.

Tyrese’s Father’s Day Poem: “I Am More Than Just A Man, I Am A Father”
I am more than just a man.. I am a father.
A boy is excited about the opportunity to be a dad.
A father is more focused on the “Responsibility” of being a father.As a father it is a responsibility to create the standards in our kids’ lives, I am not just semen. I love you, and you love me and in our family we created “we” in our children…
I am power, I am intelligence, I am education, I am integrity, I am God fearing spirituality, I am consistent…
As a father, sometimes I have to be away. I am constantly in the field hunting for my family’s survival.I am king therefore you are my queen. President Obama has created a new standard and removed every excuse a black man could ever have of NOT being a father…
I am more than I appear to be, I am more than just a man.
I….AM….FATHER!!Fathers… Even though it seems like your effort is sometimes overlooked, God is watching and he knows your heart.
To all of the REAL FATHERS around the world..
Through good, bad or ugly relationships with the mother…
If you are NOT there for your kids, it is ONLY the kids that suffer in the end.Take a stand and do any means necessary to be a part of your kids lives.
God knows your heart… God bless all FATHERS around the WORLD for Father’s Day!Salute!!

Halle Berry Determined To Break The Cycle Of Abuse After Loss Of Hearing
“When I was a girl and my mother had the s–t kicked out of her, her self-esteem moved onto me.”
“I devalued myself and thought I wasn’t worth it. I chose partners that mimicked my father. It was only when I was in an abusive relationship and blood squirted on the ceiling of my apartment and I lost 80% of my hearing in my ear that I realized, I have to break the cycle.”
“I want women to stand up and break the silence and get rid of the shame and the fear and find a way to stand up for themselves.”
Back in 2004, Christopher Williams ratted out actor Wesley Snipes as the guy who abused Halle:
The stuff they wrote about [me] and Halle was totally false. They said something like I busted her eardrum, and I’m tired of it. I never said it [before] but I’m so tired of people thinking I’m the guy [who did it]. Wesley Snipes busted her eardrum, not me.
Ever since then, Halle has vowed that she would leave the relationship at the first sign that abuse may take place.
“I never had to run to a shelter, but I did choose the wrong partners. Not always good men. Luckily, in recent years, I have been smart enough to hit the door when violence even becomes a possibility. That is something I will not tolerate.”
