SCREEN CAP TAKEN FROM AN EPISODE OF ‘THE BOONDOCKS’

The R.Kelly trial is set to start Septembber 17th and word is the the girl who was featured in that infamous tape is going to take the stand in R.Kelly’s defense.

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the young woman, who’s father played bass for Kelly and who the singer refers to as his “goddaughter” in the liner notes of his TP2.com album, will turn 23 this September. She is set to take the stand and testify that she is in fact not the girl in the infamous video tape.

Prosecutors are expected to counter those claims by calling to the stand the young woman’s relatives, friends, parents of friends and others, to testify that she was the girl in the video… [READ MORE]

She was 14 when the video was taped and former R&B artist and Kelly protégé Sparkle, who happens to be her aunt, identified her.

MAN MAY HAVE DIED FROM HEART ATTACK, NOT DOG BITES

The man who allegedly died in a vicious dog attack at the home of actor Ving Rhames was identified Saturday as 40-year-old Los Angeles resident Jacob Adams. The exact cause of death, however, may not have been due to the actual dog bites.

Word is, Adams may have died of heart failure during the attack, coroner’s officials said Friday.

There’s no doubt he was attacked by the dogs,” said Los Angeles Police Department Lt. Ray Lombardo. “Whether or not the coroner can determine that the mauling actually caused the death, or the mauling contributed to him having a heart attack, that’s a decision the coroner will have to determine.”

BUSTA GETTING SUED, YET AGAIN

bustcourt.jpg

Damn! Busta just can’t stay out of the court room. He is being sued yet again!

In the lawsuit filed Monday in Manhattan state Supreme Court, Roberto LeBron, 20, charged that he was kicked in the head after an encounter with Rhymes and his nine bodyguards in August 2006.

Rhymes’ attorney, Scott Leemon, said he hadn’t seen the lawsuit. “Nothing has been proven yet,” Leemon said.

  2. terrena

    smh @ busta kickin sumbody in da head….i mean some ppl deserve it & idk the circumstances, but heyy dats busta

    ♥terrena

  3. Kelly’s gonna walk ya’ll.

    Busta needs to check himself and his entourage.

  4. terrena

    && its bout time for kels….thats right, jus when he bac in the light he go on trial…hmmmm

    ♥terrena

  5. ms_mac

    Not sure why but that poster of Mariah looks pretty nasty.

    Why would that chick testify against Kelly (if it is her?) She has a lot to lose if she does (read: $$)

  6. sulli

    Man someone needs to come front and put R.Kelly away real talk. He’s an joke. Talented I give him that but an joke. And im tired of seeing all of our well known black entertainers in some type of legal trouble. Its a shame those who have money seem to stay in more trouble than those who dont. And i happy ving is getting something cleared up bc that would havve been a nasty case also N-E-Wayz Im tired of the whole celebrity perfume/cologne thing to no to sound negative i just an

  7. whylordwhy

    He paid her off well didn’t he? lmho

  8. lol @ the boondocks screen cap of the pied piper. hahaha.

  9. @ Mariah- Photoshop !
    @ R.Kelly- that cartoon pic from the Boondocks is hilarious, but it’s about time they just have that trial and get over with it- Now was he REALLY married to Aaliyah when she was 15?

  10. Poetic_lovagirl

    R .Kelly will get aquitted. The prosecution can argue all they want ,with the victim denying it was her they really have no case. He should pay for what he done(If he acutually did something) ,but I highly doubt he will.

    That’s really sad what happened to Ving’s dog keeper. Dogs are animals they can’t be trusted . Anytime you take care of them over a period of time and they attack you ,that says a lot.

  11. R.Kelly trial is a Big Joke….If you don’t have the girl taking the stand, why even try?! Stupid ass waste of Tax payers $$

  12. whylordwhy

    The new Mariah Ad looks like a demon! Not sexy at all.

  13. QueenBee

    Get a prostitute you filthy pervert…I will not buy your album to fund your prison and parole fees
    That picture looks cartooney and I bet her perfume stanks
    A heart will probably fail when a person sees two aggressive dogs coming at them
    And I think Busta likes this kind of attention it looks good on him to show hes a bad ass

  14. yeah not to long ago in vibe they were talking about just how long they are waiting to take kelly to trial guess someone got mad! hell before the vibe issue I thought it was over I say if the girl didn’t come foward with something to say than this shouldn’t be an issue pushed this far hell if she is getting on the stand just to say it wasn’t her leave this alone Sparkle just mad it wasn’t her. everyone has to have perfume coming out!!!!! get it M.

  15. I’m glad the R. Kelly trial is finally going to start. Hasn’t it been at least 4 years in the making? I mean, damn. I remember that Bondoocks episode too! Man, cannot wait for the new season.

    Mariah, ilu boo, but that washed up mermaid look is NOT the business.

  16. Money talks..If infact it was her((yes I’ve seen the tape)) she was probably paid to remain silent about this whole ordeal. So I too would not be surprised if he does get away with this..Although I like Kells music it saddens me that he could get away with something like that just by the power of the almighty dollar..smh

    Mariah Carey looks beautiful..I’ll have to get a wiff of that perfume!

    Regardless of what caused the death of that man it’s very sad. Best wishes to his family during this difficult time.

    Busta if this is all true..You already know you bout to come up off some dough!

  17. R Kelly paid that girl and her parents to say it wasn’t her.

  18. Ninagirl1

    Looks like Mariah is selling heaven and not perfume. She appears to look like an angel. Hope the perfume is as good as her ad.

    For Bustah, he gets whatever he deserves. U just dont go around kicking ppl in the head. Cant we all just get along. :(

  19. yall_2damn much

    i think that Kells will get off with a slap on the wrist. Its been so long since the allegations came out that the suspected girl is now 23!!!! I never saw the tape and I dont know what to think but I know it has taken too long to go to trial.

    The Ving Rhames dog mauling story whoa!!!!!! so tragic

  20. Mariah’s ad looks like J.Lo’s ad for HER first perfume.

    I’m torn over R. Kelly going to jail but in the end, he’s had too many “second chances” and making a “praise” album for the Lord ain’t gonna get him a ticket out of trouble this time.

    Maybe this will teach people to stop tampering with cross-breeding and stop people from thinking they have to own “tough” dogs in order to have the image that they’re “bad”.

    Busta needs to go sit down. He ain’t making hits like he used to, so just bow out gracefully instead of losing what money you do have in litigations.

  21. noeatingheretonight

    #9, yeah- it’s TOO photoshopped- it’s kinda scary looking.

    R kelly- I don’t care for him. He’s best creation is himself- get the f-outta here.

    Busta and Co–if you gotta fight, fight fair. 10 on 1 is pu**** (That if this is true)

  22. bailey

    Just because the chick is going to take the stand and say it’s not her doesn’t mean that it can’t be proven that it was in fact her

    c’mon what the hell do you think she was going to say-Hell I wouldn’t want anyone to know that r-kelly pissed on me either and taped it for his viewing pleasure

    and with other people-sparkles and whoever else that knows this woman and you know good and dame well the prosecutors and DA are going to ask or have obtained photos of the alleged victim at age 14 to verify if this is in fact her

    we all know why she is testifying on kelly’s behalf-hell because he’s paying for her lifestyle-it was reported that her family took a vacation to out of the country-who in the hell you think paid for that

    who in the hell knows how this case will turn out-but I’m praying that justice is served this nicca pissed on a child (14-fast tail and tricking true-but still a child) and his ass should burn for it-as we all know from all of the other cases he settled with teenage girls he’s a damn pedophile -hell watch the video it was him and according to the law-that’s what the matter is legal-pending “r-kelly the negroes hero” freedom is at stake and he needs to be locked up so he can realize the evil of his ways-you can’t run and hide forever from your demons and one day he’ll have to face them-I think he’ll committ suicide if he has to do time-he aint no thug nigga

  23. I agree with you Jewel that man aint goin to jail. They can’t even get the girl to testify AGAINST him. SMH

    Shyt I’d have a heart attack too if I saw that big azz dog running at me and I love dogs.

    Eh to everything else

  24. I would have had a heart attack too, if some big ass dogs were attacking me! lmao!!

    Mariah’s Ad look very nice!!

    I don’t know what to say about Kels!! :-)

    Damn Busta whats going on?!

  25. R.Kelly is not going to jail…he’s been paying ol girl since she was 14 and she got enough to live off of now and she can say it aint her.

    Make yo money Mariah…your bottle looks cheap though. Her and them damn butterflies….how the hell old is she now???

    I feel bad for Vingh Rhames…people really love their Pit Bulls…but ummm maybe the guy was pissed at the dogs and provoked them? Why if he’s been workin for him for so long they just decide to attack him now? Oh, wait Sigfried and Roy and the tiger attack…no, no that doesn’t count cause they were havin sex with them animals I believe. Yeah so Ving go ahead and your tetmony thing, worst case scenario you could go to jail and be a ring leader or something cause aint nobody tryna jump yo big ass. or they could just put your dogs down….give them to Michael Vick…he’ll do it. LMAO Oh that was so wrong!!!!! I really feel bad about that one.

  26. KSH

    Mimi must be on the way to a new CD b/c everytime she comes out BIG – she starts doing little stuff here and there and then she hits like a fucking earthquake. I can’t wait! Go Mimi!

    LOVE THE BOONDOCKS!!! That episode of RKelly’s Trial is some funny shit! I hope they hurry up and get this shit over!

  27. Natural Mystique

    Photoshop is Mariah’s Best friend.
    Why can’t Busta keep his MF hands and legs to himself? Thats shyt you should learn by 2!

  28. NICSTARJAM1

    R.KELLY TRIAL: OMG is this thing still going on, this just started when I went to america and that was years ago now.

    NEW MARIAH AD: next… I love my girl mariah but I not too botherd about this.

    MAN MAY HAVE DIED FROM HEART ATTACK, NOT DOG BITES: aww this is really sad all my thoughts go with the family.People need to get their facts stright BEFORE putting it out to the media because It looks like was Ving Rhames fault now no-body knows what to believe.

    BUSTA GETTING SUED, YET AGAIN: I never knew he was sued before I like busta I thought that busta was the few black men without any drama guess I was wrong.

  29. Lette

    man how long has this trial been goin on??!! shit R.Kelly aint goin nowhere shit eventho I think he’s freaky than a motha fucka but thats jus my opinion

    Mariah’s perfume add looks nasty as hell I hope the product smells betta than it looks

    I hope Ving Rhames dont get into trouble cuz he can act his ass off

  30. Ce Ce

    I like the Mariah Carey ad it’s about time she looks natural instead of trying to look all made up. And I swear she wishes she had a booty. I wish that they just hurry up and get this R. Kelly thing over with already…

  31. I dunno what to think about the Kells trial. On the one hand, I know people can change and repent and be forgiven. On the other hand, I’m not sure Kells has done that. If he hasn’t and he’s still gawkin on young girls, he needs to serve some time. Will he serve any? I doubt it.

  32. Ce Ce

    And I wonder how they chose the juror selection for this trail. Because I know just about everybody and their momma done probably heard about the R. Kelly situation unless the majority of the jurors are caucasian and or a christian….Which they probably are and if they are then I feel bad for him he’s going to have a tough time.

  33. boombox

    Bailey, clap clap. hell yea.

    And yall have seen enough Law & Order episodes to know they don’t always need the victim to go forward with a trial lol. someone with some legal knowledge correct me if im wrong, but it’s the DA prosecuting him, right? so it’s done on behalf of the public people, not just the victim?

    #9 – yup. what kind of sicko goes out and gets married to a child?

  34. Dame

    I agree R.Kelly will walk they just putting him on trial just because. They are going some excuse and he will get off.

  35. WHY HAS CL NOT POSTED THE STORY OF DUANE MARTIN (FROM ALL OF US) GETTING A DIVORCE DUE TO HIM HAVING A AFFAIR WITH ANOTHER MAN!!!! COME CL YOU SUPPOSE ON TOP OF YOUR _HIT!!!

  36. ms_mac

    Unless the law is different where I live, it’s almost IMPOSSIBLE to convict someone of a crime where there is a “victim” and that “victim” refuses to testify against the perp. Not to mention: the length of time that’s elapsed since the alleged crime took place, a lack of physical evidence (other than a grainy tape) and no proof that a “crime” even took place (ie verification of her age at the time).

    If the prosecution pulls this one out of the bag, it will surely be as a result of the jury seeking redemption for Kelly and his lawyers making a mockery of the court system for all these years. It will not be because of substantial evidence or any other level of proof that a “normal” court case requires. I’m just sayin. But regardless of whether he gets off or not, you cannot escape justice from the man upstairs.

  37. WatchYaBack

    I guess its obvious that Mr. Kelly paid that girl off! Right after the trial she’s heading straight to the mall!! Come on now, the girls family is even calling her a liar. But seriously, we need this trial to hurry up and start….the bloggers are running out of sh!t to talk about!

    I’m a big fan of Busta but he looks like he would stomp someone’s face in cause they stepped on his Air Force 1′s…take a hand full of Valiums and chill out!

  38. KI KI

    INDEED HE PAID AND HE WILL BE PAYING FOR THE REST OF HIS AND HER LIFE THATS WHY HE COMING OUT WITH ALL THE GARBAGE HE CALLS MUSIC. YOU KNOW WHAT THATS BETWEEN R.KELLY AND HIS GOD BECAUSE GOD KNOWS WHAT YOU DID R KELLY…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

  39. ms_mac

    LoL @ #33. I love Law & Order as well but believe me when I say it is not a true representation of the real justice system. Yes, you can proceed with a case without a victim but there’s a whole lot that goes into it and the burden becomes very heavy for the DA. Furthermore, it’s not up to the defense to prove that Kelly is innocent. It’s up to the DA to prove he’s guilty.

  40. Poetic_lovagirl

    Some need to keep in mind this is a trial with a jury . I jury decides his guilt or innocents. The girl is currentlt 23 yrs old ,she’s fully aware of R. Kellys intent at the time. Do some of you really think if she testify on his behalf saying it wasn’t her ,he won’t most likely walk? I

  41. Lady Architect

    MARIAH LOOKS NICE ON THE ADVERTISEMENT…..I HOPE EVERYTHING GOES WELL FOR VING RHAMES…AND BUSTA…UR JUST GOING DOWNHILL

  42. Kells needs prayer yall, that girl was probably turned out before her encounter with him and now hes paid her not only to keep her mouth shut but to stand by his side?? Kell’s ur a peice of shit, thats why Sparkle dont fucc wit cha now… @ foul man too foul!

  43. If it took them dam near 5yrs to get this trial together, R Kelly isn’t going to jail.

    Mariah’s bottle looks like a knock off from eliz taylor’s passion.

    It’s sad what happen to that caretaker…and he was living on the property so it’s not like the dogs didn’t known him..just goes to show you have unpredictable animals are.

    Busta will never learn…

  44. Have Not thought of a New User Name

    Everybody saying R. Kelly paid the girl off, but he didn’t make her or her parents take the money so if she taking the stand for him don’t be mad at him. Celebs stay paying people of, that’s one of “the perks” to being in the lime light.

    I am against everything he is accused of, but he is not the only person to be blamed.

    How many tapes were there, cause the one I seen he didn’t pee on her. Not saying it didn’t happen, but there is more than one tape floating arround.

  45. Eboni Eb

    MONEY TALKS!!!
    THE TRIAL IS GOING TO BE SOMETHIN SERIOUS!

    MARIAH…PHOTOSHOP…

    BUSTA..WHY THEY TRYNNA STICK U FOR YA PAPA? LOL…HE DO LOOK LIKE A KILLA BEAST THO…..WOOOO HAAAAAAA!!!!

  46. MissJo

    @ 15: “Mariah, ilu boo, but that washed up mermaid look is NOT the business.”

    Preach. lol

  47. Always see the same people in and out of court. People must not care about legal fees and all the other expenses that comes along with not being able to control yourself. Pathetic….

  48. Malesta Malesta…….Dam Kelz

    Busta….is crazy

    Mariah is shady

    Im out

  49. Oh Lord…R Kelly’s about to pull a “Same Girl” in the court room lol

    Love Mariah in anything she does

    Ving sweety…if the dogs didn’t attack dude, he wouldn’t have had a heart attack from the tramatic experience. Get ready to pay that family!!

    Busta will be Busta

    P.S. Why can’t I change my Avatar :(

  50. boombox

    35 – What?! Details.

    39, Ms Mac – oh ok. thanks

    44 – not sure…ive seen 2, one where he’s got his face buried in someone’s ass, and the other where he pisses on the lil girl.

  51. Lihara

    Damn R. Kelly is just too damn LUCKY…Im telling you he going to serve NO time..it will be a hung jury then a not guilty plea..I’ll be passed surprised if they find him guilty….

    Mariah ad looks gorgeous & well air-brushed in that photo

    Im starting to think Busta in the guy in the blind item bc he is always being hit up for violence

  52. Lihara

    @ 35 that was a Vicious rumors and he’s planning to sue the people..They are saying that they are together and not even going to get a divorce

  53. Cateyediva

    Some of you CAN’T be serious!!!

    Yes… I’ve seen the tape… and YES he needs to be UNDER the jail. It just goes to show you… people can be paid off for ANYTHING.

    As a PARENT.. Hell, just as a decent human being.. there is NO WAY I would allow a KNOWING perv to run around and have the opportunity to do to other children what these parents are allowing Kells to get away with. I mean… they are basically saying.. “Yeah, you sexed and pissed on my 14 year old baby… and you’re free to run around and totally molest other children as well, just make sure we get paid in the process and we won’t say a DAMN thing” What the hell is this world coming to? If Kelly is prosecuted (and Lord knows I hope he is) the parents and the chick in the video need to be put UNDER the jail right along with him… on the basis of supporting the azzhole alone.

    DAMN! If they need evidence of his sick perverted ways.. beside the other payoffs to other children to keep hush.. they should just bring into question the song he wrote for Aaliyah… “Age ain’t nothin’ but a number”… Hell, that had to be written and recorded between her age of 14-15 because it was released when she was 15. Soon after we found out they had gotten married.

    “Age ain’t nothin’ but a number.. throwin’ down ain’t nothin’ but a thing… the love I have for you.. will never change”…

    DAMN! We didn’t see it then.. but that’s evidence in itself of how this sick bastard’s mind works. Who the hell would write that for a 14-15 year old?

  54. Why does that cartoon look like Charlie Murphy?

  55. @ #52….

    Duane Martin Comes Out: Ends
    Eleven-Year Marriage With Tisha Campbell
    Duane Martin and Tisha Campbell thought their love was a matchmade in
    heaven. By Hollywood ‘s standards, it was. Married August 17, 1996, the
    couple transcended the norm for celebrity marriages, most lasting on
    average about three years. But not theirs. Their nuptials are coming to
    an end.

    The 37-year-old Martin announced to his wife a love affair with another
    male actor. This news devastated Tisha, 38. “It was the biggest shock of
    my life,” Campbell says. “I’ve heard women say they didn’t know their
    man was gay or bi and I wondered how they didn’t know. But I really
    didn’t have a clue.” Tisha expressed outrage but she was no saint
    either. She also had previously acknowledged engaging in an alternative
    lifestyle during their marriage. The couple has a six year old son, Zen.

  56. are you serious

    MARIAH- “ARE YOU SERIOUS” GO AWAY, STOP TRYING TO MAKE A COMEBACK YOU SUCK SOOOOOOOOO BAD”

  58. aijuswannasay

    DAMN MARIAH…SEEIN THAT PIC MAKES ME WANT TO NAW ON THAT BOOTY!

  59. Have Not thought of a New User Name

    How much money is Busta worth? I remember him saying in an interview when he came to Aftermath he had nothing, the album flopped. So I can’t understand why he is in and out of court.
