Star goes in on Real Housewives Of New Jersey stars Teresa Giudice and her husband Giuseppe “Joe” Giudice being indicted on various fraud charges, Foxy Brown wilding on her stylist, Sherry West accusing 2 black teens of murdering her baby and much more.

Radio legend Troi Torain (STAR) always delivers hard-hitting objective truth. As a culture critic he is vicious, as a businessman he is relentless, as a luminary he is un-matched.

Considered radio pioneers by many, the Star & Buc Wild show has set precedents on the urban landscape and was recently inducted into News One's "Top 20 Black Radio Jockeys Of All Time."

Star & Buc Wild made the national stage on MTV (1999) but it was their radio show on New York's Hot 97 (2000 - 2003) that secured their place in Hip-Hop history.

Star & Buc Wild's resume includes The Source magazine, MTV Networks, Hot 97, Power 104.1, Power 105.1, Pulse 87, Hip-Hop Weekly magazine, Vladtv, Thisis50, 100.3 The Beat and shot97.com and VH1 (Reality Television).

Raymond Vs. Raymond round 2 is about to begin. TMZ is reporting that Tameka Raymond has filed legal documents requesting an emergency hearing this week in an effort to regain custody of her two sons from ex-husband Usher.

In the documents filed in Fulton County, Georgia, Tameka claims Usher is failing to fulfill his duties as a father by letting other people take care of the kids.

The singer was granted full custody of the children in August 2012, following a bitter divorce. Tameka has limited custodial rights.

Tameka and Usher in happier times

The former couple's son, Usher Raymond V, almost drowned Monday (August 5) after his hand got stuck in the drain of his father's pool. He's currently in an Atlanta hospital recovering.

Tameka alleges that Usher is creating a dangerous environment for their kids. She is especially upset with Usher's aunt, who was watching Raymond V when the accident happened.

Tameka's complaints about the aunt include allegations that she is too physical with the children when disciplining them and has let a stalker in the home where Usher and the kids were staying,

We'll find out soon if Tameka is successful in her bid to get her kids back.

**UPDATE** August 9

Tameka Raymond's effort to regain custody of her two sons from her ex-husband Usher was shot down in court.

Tameka, Usher and his Aunt Rena all took the stand during the emergency hearing. Rena told the court that she had cared for the children for many years and Tameka never voiced an objection until now.

The 911 call from the day 5-year old Raymond V nearly drowned was played. Tameka said it demonstrated the aunt has no control over the kids. At one point she broke down crying, saying she believed her son was under water for three minutes, not the thirty seconds that was reported. She added that she didn't know if her child suffered permanent brain or heart damage from the accident

After all of the testimony was heard the judge in the case ruled in Usher's favor and denied Tameka's request for custody. He said that in his opinion Usher's aunt was a capable caregiver when the singer is out of town and stated that everyone at some point in their life has been looked after by a grandmother or aunt.

When the proceeding ended Usher and his ex-wife hugged.

Video vixens Elizabeth Velasquez and Azia Davies are seeking $10 million each in a lawsuit they filed against Tyga.

As we previously reported, Davies, Velasquez and Alissa Rae Ross sued the Young Money rapper back in December. They all agreed to go topless in the Alex Nazari-directed clip for "Make It Nasty," but claim they were promised their nipples would be "covered up" or "edited out."

When the explicit version of the video aired last July, the women's breasts were fully exposed.

The women sued for breach of contract, invasion of privacy, as well as fraud. In new legal documents filed this month, Davies and Velasquez asked for $10 million each, according to TMZ. It's unclear if Rae Ross will also be seeking a huge cash payout.
