Attorney Gloria Allred held a press conference on Wednesday, December 3, where three more alleged Bill Cosby sexual assault victim detailed their stories.

The women identified as Chelan, Beth Ferrier and Helen Hayes told stories similar to other women who have recently come forward with allegations that Cosby drugged, raped or sexually assaulted in some other way.

Read the new allegations here via USA Today.

Allred proposed that the 77-year old comedian put up $100 million and agree to an informal hearing before a panel of retired judges who would arbitrate the merits of each claim and dole out compensation if a claim has merit.

"It could be advantageous for Mr. Cosby to give up the statute of limitations because there is a huge cloud on his reputation and legacy," Allred said. "The public deserves to know if Mr Cosby is a saint or a sexual predator."

Wladimir Klitschko is not only being stalked by Shannon Briggs, he's also dealing with a lawsuit that could cost him a considerable amount of money

Magomed Abdusalamov, a boxer signed to Klitschko's K2 Boxing Promotions, suffered permanent brain damage following a November 2nd loss to Mike Perez.

Abdusalamov's jaw and hand were broken during the brutal fight at the Theater at Madison Square Garden. He fell into a coma at the hospital for two weeks and suffered several seizures. He underwent surgery to remove a large blood clot in his brain, but doctors say he may never walk or talk again, according to ESPN.

Abdusalamov's wife is suing K2 Boxing Promotions, New York State, it's athletic commission and five New York State Athletic Commission doctors for $100 million. She believes recklessness, gross negligence and medical malpractice led to her husband's condition. She blames Klitschko for not stopping the fight when it became clear her husband was losing badly and suffering serious damage. The fight went the full 10 rounds.

According to TMZ, Klitschko has filed a claim for his insurance company to cover any money awarded in the lawsuit. The insurance company says they are not liable because the police only covers sickness, death outside the ring that would result in the cancellation of a fight.

A judge has not yet made a ruling. You can watch the full fight below.

With CD sales slowly declining artists are having to think of unique ways to market their music. Nipsey Hussle came up with an ingenious plan for his Crenshaw mixtape.

The West Coast emcee released the project on Tuesday, October 8th. It's available for free download from the usual sources such as Datpiff. He also printed up a limited amount of hard copies, which he put on sale for $100 apiece via http://iamproud2pay.com/

In addition to the CD, fans who purchase it also get an autograph and a concert ticket

Jay Z, the architect of a deal with Samsung earlier this year that allowed his Magna Carta Holy Grail album to become the first CD to be certified platinum on the day of it's release, can appreciate a good idea when he sees one.

The Roc Nation mogul bought 100 copies of Nipsey's mixtape himself and posted the photo on his website. 

Nipsey thanked Hov and encouraged other artists to follow his lead.

Hussle says he's made $100,000 off of the tape so far.

In addition, the rapper announced an upcoming world tour.

That's hustling for real.









**UPDATE** 

Nipsey breaks the $10K transaction with Roc Nation

"I got a DM on Twitter from a respected hip-hop journalist and he was just like, 'Hov respects the move, salute,' " Nipsey told MTV News on Wednesday (October 9). "A little while later, I got an email that came through my team that was like, 'Roc Nation, on behalf of Jay Z wants to buy 100 units. Who do we pay? When can we get the shipment out?' "

AP.9 is reportedly shopping a sex tape with Coco Austin for $100,000. The Mob Figaz rapper has not been shy about his sexual exploits with Ice-T's wife. In December photos of the two hugging, kissing on each other and AP grabbing the reality star's butt emerged.

Earlier this week AP said the two had unprotected sex.

"We had sex unprotected," he told Star Magazine. "I really hope she isn't pregnant!”

Now there is a new report that a sex tape is being shopped.

Publicist Kali Bowyer told RumorFix that reps for the rapper contacted her asking for “help to promote and sell pictures and video above the 100k offer."

There is audio also being shopped.

According to Bowyer, the musical artist “has various pics, audio and footage of him placing his hand into her private parts, acts of oral sex, doggy style positions with miscellaneous graphic exploits and sexual conduct.”

Bowyer told RumorFix she turned down the offer to help promote the sale of the tape.

"While I personally will not engage in something so crude and disgusting, I have no hesitation in blowing the lid off his intentions," Bowyer said.

Meek Mill raised lots of eyebrows recently when he said he was ready to step back into the battle rap arena. During a recent interview with Shaheem Reid, Meek said it would take $100,000 for him to get in the ring and he named Cassidy and Murder Mook as two rappers he's ready to take on now.

"You gotta have $100K or more. I can't do it for free. That ain't my lane...Win, lose or draw - just for even stepping on the court," Meek said. "I'd do Cassidy and Mook right now. That would be crazy right there. Everybody know Cassidy that's what he do. It aint easy to get around them punchlines he gonna bring to you in a battle. I don't care what you say. Cassidy been in probably more than 5,000 battles and I don't think he had one L. And I don't think a new guy gonna step up and give him that L that easy. I ain't saying it ain't possible, but it won't be easy."

Cassidy heard the chatter and is ready to answer the call. In a new interview with QDeezy of Philadelphia radio station Hot 107.9, The Hustler spoke about the battle.

"Meek a household name. You bring him up everybody know who you talking about. He just dropped an album. He got a wave right now. And I just seen the video. We definitely could get a nice crowd and get some crazy sponsers to put some chicken up. So, it would be beneficial for me to do something like that," Cassidy said. "I'd love to do that because it would be beneficial. I'd get some credibility for biting somebody head off. And I'd get a nice little check out of it. I'm with it. We can do it whenever n*ggas ready. Make it happen, put it together and make it make sense."

Since issuing the challenge and hearing Cassidy accept, Meek took to Twitter last night and said he didn't want to battle anymore.

Is Meek getting cold feet? Or was he just joking with the Tweet?

It seems like Lindsay Lohan just can't stay out of trouble. At one point the actress had a promising career in Hollywood, but now she's in the news more for getting into sticky situations with the law.

In her latest episode Lohan has officially been named as a suspect in the theft of $100,000 worth of watches and sunglasses from her friend Sam Magid's L.A. home a week ago. Lohan says she is being framed and blames the theft on Andrew Knight, a man claiming to be Suge Knight'sson.

Andrew Knight

According to TMZ, Magid has been in touch with Knight and 1 other friend of Lohon's. They told him that on the night of the burglary Lohan "handed them a bag with 2 or 3 pieces of the stolen items wrapped in her t-shirt. The 2 men returned the items to Magid. Other items were still missing."

Knight has been interviewed by police. They apparently believe his story because Lohan is the target of the investigation.

Magid has been in touch with Lohan. She told him that she was on Ambien on the night of the theft, but remembers hiding some of the missing items around his house so they wouldn't be stolen by burglars.

Magid added that Lohan told him, "I'm sorry. Please pray for me."

Lohan is currently on probation for stealing a necklace at a Venice jewelry store. She could be headed back to jail if found guilty of this latest burglary.

New Year's Eve equals big money in Las Vegas if you're an A-list celebrity willing to spend a few hours hosting a party. One such celebrity is Kim Kardashian, who is reportedly being paid $600,000 for a series of appearances at Tao nightclub inside the Venetian hotel.

Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas will earn $100,000 to play the new 1Oak at the Mirage Hotel and Casino.

"The average New Year’s Eve fee for relevant talent is $100,000,” Jack Colton, a Las Vegas nightlife expert told TheWrap. “An A-List celebrity moves up to $250,000, and for a major grab can go as high as $1 million. Your Lady Gaga's and Jay-Zs would be considered major grabs.”

Tao Group partner Jason Strauss told Vegasinc.com that having Kardashian at the club almost assures it will draw a large crowd.

“Kim Kardashian has always been a great host for us in the past,” he said. “The crowd goes wild the second she gets in the vicinity of the club, and she is always gracious with her fans, taking photos and going out of her way to greet them. She is on television almost every day and has nearly 12 million followers on Twitter, which creates an incredible fan base.”

For party goers interested in ringing in the new year with the reality star tickets range from $175 to $225.

If you're looking for a story about redemption and triumph, look no further than Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick.

Just over two years ago the 31-year old Vick was being released from a Federal Prison in Kansas after serving 18 months for his role in a dogfighting ring.

Widely viewed as one of the most hated men in sports at the time, Vick signed a two year contract with the Eagles in August 2009, looking to restart his NFL career and hasn't looked back since.

Last year Vick led the Eagles to the NFC East title, was the starting quarterback in the Pro Bowl and was the AP Comeback Player of the Year. Vick has also worked tirelessly off the field to improve his image by working with the humane society.

Yesterday he was rewarded with a new six-year contract with the Eagles worth $100 million -- $40 million of that being guaranteed.

"I'm very happy we were able to reach an agreement with Michael on this long-term contract," Eagles coach Andy Reid said in a statement. "It's a product of all the hard work Michael has done to better himself over the last couple of years, both on and off the field. I'm very proud that he has been able to achieve success again in this league, but he'll be the first one to tell you that there is a lot of work yet to be done by him and this team as a whole. And there's no doubt in my mind that he will continue on that path."

Congrats to Vick for showing that hard work really does pay off.

Information from ESPN was used in this report.

Foxy Brown escaped prosecution for allegedly dropping her panties and mooning a neighbor when a judge dismissed the charges on Tuesday [July 12]. Today Foxy's lawyer says the rapper plans to sue to the city for $100 million.

Salvatore Strazzullo told the New York Post that his client is suing the Assistant District Attorney's office for what he calls "malicious" treatment of his client.

"With school budgets cut, they had the audacity [to file charges]." Strazzullo said. "Do we want our tax dollars going for this?"

A rep for the city said ADA's have "absolute immunity" from being personally prosecuted and would seek an immediate dismissal of the lawsuit.

Former G-Unit turncoat The Game is taking L's like this season's Cleveland Cavaliers team.

His 'Red' album has been pushed back farther than Dr Phil's hairline, he got taken for $75,000 by valet drivers last Christmas. Now comes word the Compton rapper will have to un-ass nearly $100,000 for jewelry he ordered, took ownership of, but never fully paid for.

According to a TMZ report an L.A. judge ordered Jayceon to pay Lemmerman's Inc $90,999 for the jewelry ordered between 2007-2008.

The jeweler says Jayceon made a big payment initially, but then stopped paying. Now he must pay the amount owed, plus interest bringing the total to $99,000.

Here's a list of what was ordered:

- a 14K white gold 36" chain with white stones for $15,000
- a 14K yellow gold 36" chain with yellow stones for $15,000

Bernadette Brennan (right) is suing her former client Foxy Brown for $100,000 for studio time.

Rapper Foxy Brown’s recent erratic behavior has caused her longtime manager to say goodbye.

Bernadette Brennan is also planning to sue Foxy for $100,000 in studio time.

"It's always sad when an artist has everything they need at their fingertips but still displays such self-destructive behavior. I hope she gets the help she needs," Brennan told the New York Daily News. "I was one of the few people in her corner."

The 32-year old Brown, born Inga Marchand hasn't released an album since 2008's 'Brooklyn's Don Diva.' She was supposed to release a Lil Kim diss titled "Christmas Massacre" on December 25, but the song never came out. Now Brown is threatening to sue the song's producer Daddy Bigg$.

"Wha kinda bowcat battyman shit yuh deh pon Biggz? Yuh a EVIL muddacunt fraud! Gunshot fi yuh bumbahole!! See u in court nigga! Sorry yall! Just found out this fake ass dude Biggz I thought was my friend seriously violated and put that fake song out tryna get famous! I will see all yall snake motherfuckers in court!!!" Foxy tweeted

The rapper also missed her own party at Brooklyn's Jelani Lounge on Christmas Eve. The party was supposed to be a listening session for a new album.

"If she had any money, we'd sue her [for not showing up]," said one Manhattan nightclub manager

These latest incidents capped a bizarre 2010 for Brown.

In July she was charged with violating an order of protection by cursing at and exposing herself to neighbor Arlene Raymond. Then several days later, Brown was reportedly involved in a brawl with Brennan in the lobby of a Manhattan high rise.

"She was out of control," a source said at the time. "She was told to keep her voice down and to act right, but she didn't want to hear any of it."

For her part Foxy has denounced Brennan as a "fake manager". The rapper says she is being managed by her brothers Gavin and Anton Marchand.

"I luv luv luv my TWO big brothers GAVIN and ANTON!! My success would be nothin' without them...Thank GOD we're all back together!!!" Brown tweeted.
