RONALD ISLEY FACES 26 YEARS IN PRISON FOR TAX EVASION..

A federal jury in Los Angeles convicted singer-songwriter Ronald Isley of five counts of tax evasion and one count of willful failure to file a tax return for concealing millions of dollars of income from the Internal Revenue Service. Isley, who has residences in Los Angeles and St. Louis, was convicted by a jury that deliberated for only three hours. Isley was a key member of the popular rock band The Isley Brothers, and had a career that spanned decades. During a three-week trial with almost 20 witnesses, federal prosecutors apparently proved to the jury that Isley received millions of dollars in cash and spent his money on a luxurious lifestyle. From 1997 through 2002, the evidence showed, Isley evaded the payment of more than $3 million in federal income taxes (read more). –That’s what his dumb-ass gets..–

BOBBY BROWN SAYS HE MADE ATL HOT..

He’s not only “the original king of R&B” (just ask his wife if you want to debate) and probably the only person that likes to breakdance to the sound of Christmas carolers singing, he also loves the place he migrated to: the ATL. In true B-Brown fashion, though, Bobby says he thanks himself for the city being so large in status. “The hottest thing about Atlanta is me, my brother Tommy and [Jermaine Dupri],” Brown determined. “I was the one who made Atlanta hot, but now it’s time for me to move on and make another place hot.” (from mtv’s mixtape tuesday..)
