ROUND UP: BRANDY CLEARED! / DIDDY TO GET A STAR / SNOOP DOGG’S DRAMA

Brandy will not be charged with a crime for a fatal car crash last year, authorities said Friday.

Brandy’s attorney Blair Berk also issued a statement on Friday:

“We are extremely pleased that after a more thorough and extensive investigation by authorities … Brandy Norwood should not be charged with any crime whatsoever relating to the accident back in 2006.

These past 12 months have posed an extraordinary hardship for Brandy and her family, who have been unfairly forced to live under a cloud of suspicion initially caused by the ill-advised and premature press release sent out by the California Highway Patrol accusing Brandy of wrongdoing before the police investigation was even finished.

Brandy continues to be mindful that she was so fortunate to be uninjured in this accident and there was a life lost that should be remembered.” [ READ MORE ]

DIDDY TO GET A STAR

Diddy will be honored next month with his very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Diddy was quoted on Jamie Foxx’s (who also has a star now) radio show saying:

“I’m from Harlem New York, so to get a star in Hollywood is just mind-blowing. You can get a lot of things but when you see those stars on the ground…that’s something I can’t even say I dreamed of and to be getting recognized for it is definitely something I’m gonna have my whole family out there for.” [source]

SNOOP DOGG’S ILLEGITIMATE CHILD!

Snoop Dogg’s secret (up until now) son, nine-year-old Julian Corrie Broadus, from Snoop’s former high school friend, 34-year-old Laurie Holmond, has stepped forward to speak his mind on his place on Snoop’s new scripted reality show, Father Hood, as well as in his life.

Julian and his mom dished details of Snoop’s lack of participation in Julian’s life to Star magazine who has also managed to obtain paternity documents which proves Snoop is indeed Julian’s son…an account that Snoop has never denied publicly.

“I should be with him on the show, but I’m not,” Julian tells Star magazine. “I don’t want to be an actor; I want to be a basketball player. But I want to be on the show to get to know my family. It would be so nice for all of us to just hang out together. I hope we can do that one day.” [ READ MORE ]

  1. Fine N Mellow

    The situation is unfortunate. It was an Accident, It’s Good that Brandy and her Family can move on with their lives.

    Puffy, Ohhh Boy !!!

  2. DOB

    Yay Brandy!! I’m so happy for her and I hope she can put this whole ordeal behind her.

  3. QDeezy

  4. I’m a Brandy fan but she killed someones mom while handling her cell phone……
    Snoop son is Handsome

  5. VirgoDoll

    I’m soo happy to hear this. Be blessed Brandy and bring that fire in the next album!!!

  6. VirgoDoll

    Snoop acting like a bitch on this, man up and be a father to your child like your being a father to those other brats you call kids on the show.

  7. whatup

    Snoop Dogs son should want to get to know his family no matter if he’s on a show or not, it sounds like he’s jus tryin to be on tv…whats goin on in this world are people that desparate to be on tv g

  8. sure

    I’m sooo happy for brandy! and snoop talk to yo child

  9. VirgoDoll

    I hope someone shits on Puffy’s star. Hopefully a woman of Latina descent since that’s what his bitch ass likes. Punk ass.

  10. ThinkAboutIt

    It was an unfortunate accident because someone lost their life, but thankfully it was ruled so Brandy was not unjustly penalized. It could have gone so wrong for her.

    Congratulations to Diddy. From an entertainment persepective, he desreved the Star on Hollywood.

    Julian Broadus is a handsome young man –
    It’s unfortunate when parents don’t protect their children. There is no way that this 9 year old boy should be giving a magazine interview. I understand his statement about getting to know his father and family, but you don’t need a television show to do that — there were 9 years of opportunity for him to get to know them. It’ obvious though Snoop acknowleges him, he does not have any interest in being in his life.
    His mother should help him to accept that – not allow him to be exploited for an opportunity for publicity.

  11. IM SOOO GLAD BRANDY WAS CLEARED, ALWAYS HAD FAITH THAT THE TRUTH WOULD COME TO LIGHT

    DIDDY GETTING A STAR….I MEAN DAMN…ANYONE CAN GET A STAR THESE DAYS…CLEARLY LOL

    SNOOPS KIDD LOOKS JUST LIKE HIM….MMMM MMM MMM DAMN SHAME

  12. roe

    Brandy should face some type of charges..this is unfair to the victim’s family.
    I swear celebrity’s can get out of any mess with a cool amount a cash and a tight legal team.

  13. RL

    i’m glad brandy is clear

    #4 brandy didn’t kill any1 turned out it was that ladies fault and she wasn’t on her phone

  14. I AM GLAD FOR BRANDY, SOMEBODY PRAYED 4 HER, AND IT IS 2 MANY KIDS LIKE JULIAN, RIGHT DIDDY? YEAH, UR A STAR! , BUT I AM GLAD HE IS STILL POSITIVE ABOUT EVERYTHING, AND HOPEFULLY SNOOP CAN BE IN HIS LIFE COMPLETELY. 08, I CANT WAIT….

  15. BrittanyBeauty

    ~SMH~ On that Snoop Dogg shit people would do anything for money why would she speak about this shit now WTF!!!!! This should of been out back in the dr dre and snoop days now she wants to wait………SHAME

  16. SOME OF YA’LL ARE A LITTLE SLOW……..DIDN’T YA’LL JUST READ THE POST THAT BRANDY WAS CLEARED ON CHARGES B/C THEY COULDN’T FIND HER TO BE @ FAULT………AND YA’LL IDIOTS STILL WANT HER TO FACE SOME TYPE OF FINE/JAIL TIME OR WHATEVER…….I MEAN ARE U SERIOUS????

    YA’LL NEED HELP……..I MEAN PUT URSELF IN THE SITUATION…….WOULD YOU WANNA BE PROSECUTED FOR SOMETHING U WASNT FOUND @ FAULT FOR?????

  17. BrittanyBeauty

    AND i AGREE WITH NUMBER 11 SAY THAT SHIT!!! THAT’S REAL TALK

  18. #17 STFU! I didnt read the f*ckin statement, I went off what was said when she 1st killed the woman. If it was the woman’s fault then yes I’m glad Brandy was cleared… And may the woman RIP. Sorry for her Husband, Family, & Kids.

  19. dearlover

    I don’t understand how people attribute Brandy’s stardome to no charges being filed? Why would the LAPD go out of their way to protect Brandy of all people? Unfortunate accident that could have happened to any one of us, hell the deceased victim could have been any one of us, but if it wasn’t her fault it just wasn’t her fault. This isn’t Paris Hilton, nor does Brandy have Paris’s celebrity status (sad but true Paris is a major star), plus somebody died! You mean to tell me the D.A. is willing to deal with the backlash, the injustice, and the damnation just because shes Brandy? Please! Anyway I wish the girl well. Not a fan, but hey may she continue to do whatever the hell it is she does.

  20. mzsweetface

    This reminds me of a blind items a while ago. I can’t say i’m surprised though.

  21. #17 Please shut the hell up Thanx 4 clearing that up #14

  22. Reccy

    I’m sooo happy for Brandy; she can now move on with her life and hopefully focus on her career.

    Now Snoop, yes he should take responsibility for his son; on the other hand, why is the boy being interviewed by star magazine at nine years old? That is just wrong. His feelings should be expressed before a judge not to a cheesy tabloid magazine. I hate to see people including parents exploit children for financial gain and that seems to be the case

  23. TheCorporateTakeover.net

    Thanks for the love CL!

    SMH@ Snoop, but apparently he is trying to change his ways. He plans on giving up his party life for his fam: http://www.digitalspy.co....-partying-for-family.html

  24. NO…..U STFU @ 21…..WHAT, U CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH…..GROW THE FUC UP AND GET A LIFE……..EVERYTHING DON’T REVOLVES AROUND U OR UR WANTS…….I’M JUST CALLIN’ IT LIKE I SEE IT…..IF U CAN’T TAKE THE HEAT THEN JUMP OUT THE WINDOW U IDIOT AND @ NUMBER 15…..I DID A LOT OF PRAYIN 4 HER!!

  25. Good for Brandy!!!!
    Congrats to Diddy, that arrogant bastard lol
    Wow @ Snoop and his “secret” son….

  26. boombox

    who knew brandy had Stans? im impressed.

    before i get my jokes in about snoop & his wife, how long have they been married?

  27. FallBackHaterz

    wow and what are the police and media gonna offer Brandy for tarnishing her rep this past year? SMH. Well at least she can now get on with her life.

    I don’t believe that Snoop love child, when and if the results come I’ll believe it.There is a long list of women all saying the same about other rappers- poor children, thats who I feel sorry for.

    Congrats Diddy!

  28. KAREE

    That’s whats up about Brandy. Her ass wouldn’t make it in jail……All about Snoop’s illegitimate child, I mean it’s about time someone came forth, I knew there were more of ‘em out there……his kids are soooooo cute

  29. ToniChilds

    Julian looks just like snoops older son

    i guess the situation was outta sight outta mind > why wait until snoop has a show?

    (Pondering)

    a very unfortunate situation that hopefully can be resolved….it’s not the childs fault the adults can’t get along > Why punish the child?

  30. The police were so quick to dump all over Brandy on pure assumption while they went out of their way to protect Mel Gibson, Paris, et al who actually committed crimes! You know if she’d been drunk or high she would’ve been in jail by now! They looked like fools for coming down hard on her and now they’ve got egg on their faces. I feel for the families though but the civil case against her should be dismissed.

  31. SNOOP DOGG

    THE SNOOP THING IS JUST FUNNY
    WHO SIAD THAT STATEMENT? whoever it is it seems like they JUS WANNA BE ON TV

    wouldn`t it be more good to say that they want snoop to have a better part in the lofe of the child?

    IF YOU MIX the younger son`s ears with that younger snoop son and the face with the CORDE`S face it will PROVE THAT IT`S HIS SON

  32. KAREE

    lol @ the argument between # 17 and # 21 :-)

  33. Candace

    I’m not even mad at Snoop. He’s fowl for not putting a “hat” on in and subjecting Shaunte to that kind of pain but then again…Thats what rappers and ball players do – ufck around. But it’s on Laurie, knowing good and well that Snoop was married. Letting him hit it is one thing, but getting pregnant is another.

  34. Dame

    I am sooooooo happy for Brandy and I know 2008 will be great for her.

    Whatever at Diddy

    I am not surprised about Snoop the child has the same middle as his son. I wonder will he make it on to the t.v. show?

  35. T

    @ #7
    He’s only 9 years old and a 9 y.o. thought process isn’t that deep…LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  36. Candace

    Shaunte & Snoop got married in 1996.

  37. @27……..IMPRESSED ABOUT WHAT……..WHAT OTHER RnB CHICKS YOU KNOW THAT CAME OUT WITH NO HELP FROM ANYONE AND SOLD OVER 6MILLION ALBUMS WW?????????

    BRANDY IS THE ONLY 1 THAT COMES TO MY MIND………WITH A COLLECTIVE TOTAL OF OVER 35 MILLION ALBUMS AND RECORDS SOLD WORLD WIDE………..WHAT WOULD MAKE YOU THINK SHE DOESN’T HAVE ANY WHOLE-HEARTED FANS??????????

    YA’LL KILL ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  38. Candace

    TV shows are taped 4 months in advance. I doubt if he makes it on the show.

  39. LOLLYPOP

    I’m glad for Brandy. I hope she is able to revive her career now. But she is still facing the civil lawsuit. I hope she prevails.

    Snoop needs to grow up. He not only cheats on his wife with skank hoes but he’s also making babies with old high school flames??? WTF? His wife seems bitter on television and I can certainly understand why she comes off like that. This fool is no good. Plus his house aint even all that! He’s living in an average suburban home, cheating his ass off, running around like a pimp in his prime and making a complete fool of himself. Damn brother, do you see YOU? You need to take a good look at yourself and how you are portraying fatherhood. Stop throwing your money into that sticky icky and invest in your children’s future. Get them a home worthy of your star status and get them on the right track for the future by being a ROLE MODEL to them in the right sense of the word. You are teaching your sons to be womanizers and your beautiful little chocolate daughter is learning to bow down like her momma for a no good wanksta like you! Shame on you!

  40. Candace

    @38
    That show is SOOOO scripted and that house isn’t his house. It’s a rental for TV. He’s livin’ farrrr more lavish than that. Thats a front for the show.

  41. SNOOPS OTHER BABY MAMA SHOULD BE ASHAME OF HER DAMN SELF. I AM SO PISSED READING THIS WHY SHE GOTTA COME OUT NOW AFTER HIS SHOW. WHERE THE HELL WAS SHE WHEN SNOOP BEEN ON AWARD SHOWS WITH HIS FAMILY. SHE JUST WANTS CAMERA TIME SHE AIN’T EVEN SLICK. SNOOP PROBABLY PAID HER OFF THATS WHY SHE AIN’T BEEN AROUND BUT DONT GET IT TWISTED YOU GOT WHAT U WANTED CAUSE IF THAT WAS THE CASE YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN AROUND YEARS OK DON’T COME NOW CAUSE HE GOT A SHOW AND U WANT TO BE ON TV. PUTTING YOUR SON OUT THERE LIKE THAT . THAT WOMAN SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HERSELF

  42. I am so happy for Brandy……I love that girl :-)

    F* Snoop and his bullsh!t.!!!

  43. Randy

    They found Marijuana in the woman system who died in the crash and she hit the car infront of her before Brandy hit her so its not her fault.. Brandy was inocent its not about Brandy money its about the TRUTH coming to light yes someone was killed but like they said the found Marijuana in her system so Brandy really should not be charged…

    Anyhow Im soo happy for Brandy now she can focus on her music and reclaim her throne 2008 is her year BEST BELIEVE THAT,,,

  44. CLEARMINDED

    YAY!!!! for Brandy! Hope 2008 brings good things for her…

  45. #38 You seriously sound like a stalker. That’s a sin (Worshiping Celebs) You know that right?

  46. Nickey

    @ #4

    She was not on her cell phone nor was she doing anything wrong. The woman that she hit slammed on her brakes after hitting another car. It was just a chain reaction. And they also said the woman that died had traces of marijuana in her system

    So Brandy was not at fault. Just an unfortunate accident.

  47. Missdiva

    GLAD FOR BRANDY……NEVER THOUGHT SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN CRIMINALLY CHARGED…IT WAS AN ACCIDENT IM SURE SHE FEELS BAD FOR THAT LADY FAMILY……BUT I HOPE THEY DONT DIG TOO DEEP IN BRANDY’S POCKET CAUSE SHE HAS A CHILD TOO…….

  48. Knuck

    #26 – I’m a Brandy STAN, I just don’t go out my way to argue with foolishness.. or to try to plug her or whatever.. I love her and if someone asks me my fave artist and why, I can tell them with no hesitation. I can’t make anyone else love her tho.. that’s where my loyalty stops lol As long as she continues to put out that good music the rest of the industry can go to shit in all of its wackness! :P

  49. PMel8701

    Thank GOD my Brandy is Freeee…YES THANK GOD!

    Brandy#1Fan_Mel

  50. HTownStandUp

    Brandy has God in her life, that’s all she needed. Yay 4 B~

    Snoop…guess that’s why they broke up for those yrs all that time…..dang is ANYBODY FAITHFUL in the industry?!?! ugh

  51. WORSHIPING CELEBS IS A SIN???????

    WHAT BIBLE DID YOU READ THAT OUT OF?????LOL

    UR TOO FUNNY 4 ME!

    FURTHERMORE…..STALKER….U ARE 2 FUNNY…..I’M A SUPPORTER AND A FAN……..I SUPPORT HER TO THE FULLEST AND IF U TAKE THAT AS STALKIN THEN THAT’S YOU….I COULDN’T CARE LESS…..I’VE MET HER ALREADY AND SHE DON’T THINK THAT SO GO EAT SHYT…….U JUST CAN’T HANDLE MY REALNESS…..BUT IT’S ALL GOOD HOPEFULLY 1 DAY YOU’LL UNDERSTAND SOMETHING WITH SUBSTANCE!!!!!!!!!

  52. boombox

    thanks #35
    snoop – the whole situation just makes me laugh (despite how sad it is). wasnt his wife on that special HipHop Wives, talking about how she holds it down, she’s #1, blah blah. right boo! talk to us when your husband doesnt have a bunch of illegitimate babies runnin around. i read the article where she said she was hesitant to let him come back, but i dont wanna go there cus i know things are different when you got kids and history with a man……….and loads of dinero, but hey.

    #36….have you worked with brandy? bffs?

    randy, just cus they found marijuana and that woman’s system doesnt mean she was high at the time of the accident.

  53. boombox

    #48, i agree — whats the point?
    it’s one thing to be a fan of an artist but hitting reload on a messageboard in order to try to argue everyone down that doesnt agree? DTM!

  54. Brandy is getting a good start for the new year.

  55. NuAgenda77

    That’s some Halelujah Praise the Lord Thank You Jesus news for Brandy! If I were her I’d be somewhere on my knees giving thanks to God!

  56. Someone said something about worshiping celebs..

    If you follow Christianity, God does not like his followers worshiping false idols.

    I swear CL has a bucket full of characters.

  57. Melissa

    I FIND IT QUITER STRANGE THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN WHEN THE TV SHOW FOR SNOOP COMES ALONG, HIS SON WANTS TO BE A PART OF THE LIFE. THIS WOMAN SHOULD’VE COME FORWARD WAY BEFORE THIS TO GET SNOOP QUALITY TIME WITH HIS FATHER AND OTHER FAMILY IF THATS THE CASE.

    AS FAR AS BRANDY NOW ALL SHE NEEDS TO DO IS CONCENTRATE ON HER MUSIC AND GO BACK TO BEING A JUDGE ON THAT SHOW AND SHE WILL BE A OK

    AS FAR AS DIDDY I THINK ITS TOO SOON FOR A STAR RIGHT NOW. WHAT HAS HE DONE LATELY BESIDES BEING A HORRIBLE ROLE MODEL FOR MONOGAMY AND SUPPORT NON TALENT ACTS WHO DONT SELL LIKE CASSIS CHERI DENNIS AND DANITY KANE?…. DOES DON CHEADLE HAVE ONE? THATS WHO DESERVES IT.

  58. Batman

    How can you run someone over causing death and not go to prison?

    I don’t see the sense in it.

    But if that’s what happens when you have money and fame behind you then i wanna get in.

  59. Cannon

    nah batman, you cant go around killing ppl on purpose cause u have money and fame…doesnt work like that…thank god brandy is cleared from this accident cause brandy isnt one of those lohan/hilton type of drivers

  60. Rashad

    I was on my knees thanking God for Brandy! It was an accident and I feel sooo sorry that a woman lost her life but I didn’t think she should be charged. I just hope she can get past this and release her new album!
