A woman by the name of Francesca Spero claims that rapper/actor Sean “Diddy” Combs fired her based on age discrimination and she’s not taking it lying down. The fifty-one-year old filed an age discrimination lawsuit Wednesday in Manhattan. Spero had been working as an executive for Bad Boy Entertainment for 12 years and claims to have helped launch his career.

The lawsuit says that Spero introduced Combs to hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons and Uptown Records shortly after meeting him in 1988. The lawsuit also claims that Spero was fired after having hip surgery and relapsing after being treated for a drug dependency.

I’m not really sure how far this will go because of the whole relapse thing. Being under the influence in the workplace is not a good look  and I’m thinking that may help Diddy get out of this one. On the other hand some could argue that suspension might have been a better resolution. However, if she provides enough evidence that she was discriminated against…Diddy may end up shelling out a lot of cash. The details are still a little fuzzy at this point but  I will definitely continue to follow this as it unfolds.

According to TMZ.com rapper T.I. and his wife Tiny were pulled over after making an illegal U-turn on Sunset Strip in West Hollywood last night. The police claim that they smelled marijuana so they conducted a search of their vehicle and allegedly found ecstacy. Both T.I. and Tiny were handcuffed and taken away. The pills are now being tested and the couple was released this morning.

That’s not it…there are rumors swirling that the couple was also sipping on sizzurp. For those that aren’t familiar with sizzurp…it is basically juice mixed with codeine syrup. It is extremely popular in the south has become a growing problem.

I really thought that T.I. learned something from recently spending time behind bars. The most ridiculous thing is…he is still on probation!  He has to know by now that being a celebrity doesn’t  mean that you won’t get caught.  C’mon people we have to do better than this!

Bobby Valentino doesn’t hold back when it comes to discussing relationships. In the latest issue of H.I.S. magazine the R&B singer gives his opinion on why Reggie Bush could never marry Kim Kardashian and why Tiny is the perfect woman for T.I.

It’s easily more accepted for a woman to go out with her man and he done chopped everyone in the club [than a woman doing the same]. Look at Reggie Bush. He can’t marry Kim Kardashian because she has a sex tape and she’s smashed a million dudes. Right? He can’t marry her. It’s not a good look. On the other hand, Reggie Bush has f*cked a lot of women. You think Kim Kardashian cares about that?

On why Tiny is perfect for T.I

An artist needs a woman that is understanding. A Woman who understands her man. I think that is why Tiny and T.I. are so good together. She knows her role. If women understand their place with an artist that’s great. Sometimes we have to flirt with women.
