Fantasia Barrino Finally Speaks Out On Suicide Attempt "I Wanted Out". Her VH1 Special Airs Same Day New CD Drops. Was It All A Publicity Stunt?

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on August 23, 2010 at 10:30am

There's no way to know for sure if Fantasia Barrino's suicide attempt was real or a publicity stunt. But her actions following her release from the hospital call into question her true motives. Just one day after getting out of the hospital for an aspirin overdose, the singer is seen with the married man she is accused of having an affair with. A camera crew was with them. It's believed they were being filmed for a segment on Fantasia's VH1 Behind The Music special, which happens to air on the same day her new album, 'Back To Me' is being released. Fantasia insists the suicide attempt was real. She's quoted in a story that appears today on PEOPLE.com as saying: "I didn't have any fight in me. I didn't care about anything. I just wanted out. At that moment, I wanted out. I wanted it to be over with – all of it, all of that [expletive]. I just sat in the closet and looked at the mirror and took all the pills in the bottle. I wanted to go to sleep and just be at peace. I knew exactly what I was doing. You can't accidentally take a whole bottle of pills. I was tired of people doing me wrong, constantly, over and over again, dealing with my family – my father, dealing with men and their [expletive] – I was tired. My head was hurting me. I was over it." Maybe Fantasia's head was hurting because she is facing a possible lawsuit from Paula Cook. The wife of Antwaun Cook, the man who's been breaking Barrino's back for a hot minute now. "[Paula Cook] has threatened via her lawyers to me to sue Fantasia," the singer's lawyer, Gena Morris, told PEOPLE. North Carolina is one of seven states that allows the "other man" or "other woman" to be sued for alienation of affection and criminal conversation. In March a woman named Anne Lunquist was ordered to pay $9 millions dollars to Cynthia Shackelford of North Carolina for breaking up her marriage under that very law.

Fantasia and Antwuan Cook With Camera Crew One Day After Her Release From Hospital For "Overdose" So if Fantasia wasn't faking a suicide attempt, it could be the possibility of losing everything she has motivated her to end it all or at least seek sympathy. "I remember waking up in the hospital [and thinking], 'It didn't work, I'm still here in this hellhole. Still here with all this drama going on,'" she now says. Fantasia better hope Paula Cook decides to take it easy on her or that "hellhole" she thinks she's been living in is going to get a whole lot hotter. twitter-5d.gif

Piracy-Hit Music Industry Seeking New Ways To Bounce Back In Cannes

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on January 22, 2010 at 10:58am

CANNES - The beleaguered global music industry enters the decade hoping to turn a corner by tackling piracy head on while drumming up new sources of revenue. Grim statistics this week from the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) show sales falling by some 30 percent since 2004 as piracy surged. But a huge 12 percent leap in revenue from digital channels between 2008 and 2009 should help lighten the mood at the industry's biggest annual get-together starting Sunday at the MIDEM trade festival in this Riviera resort. The figures show digitally-bought music now accounting for 27 percent of total music sales -- 4.2 billion dollars of 15.8 billion dollars in 2009. "Our vision is music availability everywhere, at any time and in any place. But the biggest question is how do we monetise it in an environment of widespread piracy," Eric Daugan, Senior Vice President Commercial Strategy, Warner Music International EMEA, said in an IFPI report released Thursday. Battered by the slump in CD sales worldwide and the slow response to rampant illegal music downloads and new digital platforms, the industry is finally stepping up efforts to reverse its fortunes. Next week's trade fair will be "all about how to monetise access to music," MIDEM Director Dominique Leguern told AFP in an interview. "Today, the number of technical solutions and different offers (streaming, downloads, etc) are multiplying ... We want to highlight these opportunities and show participants how to access them," he added. Many of the world's leading online, advertising, video, mobile and other technology leaders will also be sharing expertise in new revenue streams, including MySpace CEO Owen Van Natta, who will give his first keynote address outside the United States. Guitarist Ed O'Brien from British band Radiohead, which shocked the record industry in 2007 by allowing fans to decide how much they wanted to pay to download their new album, will also fly in to discuss the band's use of the Web to reach audiences. "The music industry is finally seeing the Web as an opportunity more than a threat. Social software and devices such as the iPhone open new, extraordinary opportunities to innovate," said Daniel Ek, CEO of Sweden's music streaming service, Spotify. This year's MIDEM is offering for the first time a wide range of matchmaking and networking sessions as well as conferences on how to finance and develop artists' careers beyond the simple CD -- using social networks such as Twitter and YouTube -- or tips on how to get music used in films, TV series and video games or advertising campaigns. "We are focusing heavily on learning, education and networking because we have to help our participants to identify those elusive revenue streams," Leguern stressed. Thanks to the world economic crisis and the strain in the music industry. attendance at MIDEM is expected to be down for the second year running at around 7,000 participants. But managers of music sensations including Blur, Mika, James Blunt, Lily Allen and the Artic Monkeys will be in town to talk about how they are gradually taking on the former role of record labels by helping guide their artists' careers and manage their rights. New countries attending for the first time this year include Iceland, the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Ghana, Madagascar and Vietnam. Asia will be making waves with Korea, Taiwan and Japan due to showcase their latest talent -- including Japanese dance act Amwe, Taiwanese indie singer and composer Crowd Lu and Korean girl band F(X). But it will be the sounds of South Africa on centre-stage as the Country of Honour kicks off a packed programme of events to promote its culture ahead of its hosting of the 2010 FIFA World Cup this summer.

Wife's words broke UFC Champ Frank Mir down, built him back up

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on July 10, 2009 at 2:30pm

On the night of Nov. 18, 2006, in a hotel room in Sacramento, Calif., just hours removed from a humiliating knockout at the hands of one Brandon Vera, Frank Mir announced his retirement. "Never going to fight again," he said. "Whatever I had, I don't have anymore." Two years had passed since Mir found himself on the receiving end of a motorcycle wreck. His femur had been broken in two places, and his knee all but ruined. The first doctor told him his career as professional fighter was over. A second orthopedist concurred. Actually, Mir was able to make a comeback of sorts. But the knee was still gimpy when somebody named Marcio Cruz knocked him out in the first round, opening a gruesome, half-moon shaped laceration below his eye. Then he got fat for a lackluster decision over another world-beater, Dan Christison. Next, Vera — "a guy that shouldn't even have been a heavyweight," Mir would recall — put him away in 69 seconds. He had been in good shape for Vera, though. The knee was fine. Now he was out of excuses. "It is what it is," he said, waiting for his wife to agree. Jennifer Mir understood, of course, having lived for the better part of two years with her husband's depression and doubt. "So many people," she recalled, "were telling him he didn't have it anymore." But she refused to count herself among them. And she refused to give him what he wanted, which is to say, an easy way out. Frank and Jennifer had met some years before at their place of employment, the Spearmint Rhino, one of those euphemistically labeled "gentlemen's clubs" where he worked as the head bouncer. Now they had three kids of their own, including a son Frank adopted from Jennifer's previous relationship. They had built something good. But a fighter who cannot fight does not make for domestic tranquility. With Frank talking retirement, Jennifer knew the marriage was at a crossroads. Worse than that, they were looking at a lifetime of regret. You can quit, no problem, she told him. It's not like he owed her an explanation. "You only have to answer to your children," she said. "Look how they would see you right now. ... Could you explain it to them?" Just like that, Jennifer Mir became Standup Wife of the Year. And Frank embarked on another kind of comeback. "An ultimate breakdown," he says, referring to that night. "I always thought I was mentally strong. Then I found out I wasn't." Mir recalls watching the early UFC events with his father — a Kenpo karate instructor in Vegas — and being mesmerized. But Frank was more than a fan, he was a talent. Karate and jiujitsu, striking and grappling, they all came easy to him. He was a state wrestling champ and later a UFC phenom, famously snapping Tim Sylvia's arm to win the heavyweight championship in his ninth pro fight in 2004. "My first couple of fights in the UFC came too easy," he said. "I was a front-runner, very much of a bully." In other words, he had no aptitude for adversity. But the accident, combined with his wife's wise words — "she pretty much came to my rescue," he says — taught him a new way. "Humility," he says, the remnants of a black eye still visible just days before UFC 100, and his much-anticipated main event with Brock Lesnar. Problem was, humility had never been Mir's strong suit: "You start knocking guys out in 30 seconds once a month, and then somebody stands up to you. How do you deal with that? Especially in the gym, where everybody's deathly afraid of you?" He was just beginning to understand: The aura of invincibility had been holding him back. In order to learn, he had to get his ass kicked. Now he walks around with black eyes. His wife and kids see him getting choked out regularly. His weakest skills are those he practices most relentlessly. He anticipates and trains for the worst sort of adversity. Certainly, it paid off in his first fight with Lesnar, 17 months ago. Lesnar was bigger and stronger and a harder hitter, but Mir was the more resilient and resourceful martial artist, submitting the former pro wrestler with a knee lock. "No matter how bad the beating became, I never thought about anything but trying to finish him," says Mir. "No matter how many punches he landed, I kept going for submissions. I wasn't looking for an out." Lesnar, he says, reminds him of the fighter he used to be: the front-runner, the bully, the aggressor. I think this rematch goes pretty much the same way, just longer. I say Mir by submission in the second round. But maybe that's only because I like his story. Frank and Jennifer had a baby boy last month. But then so did Lesnar and his wife. So here's my real hope for Saturday night: that each man can one day explain it to his son. Source: FoxSports

Tru Life Turns Himself In On 1st Degree Murder Charges

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on June 24, 2009 at 3:30pm

Former Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam artist Tru Life turned himself in to authorities last night (June 23) to face a charge of 1st degree murder, according to reports. The charge is possibly tied to a brutal stabbing incident last week that left one man seriously injured, and an 18-year old teen dead. As reported by AllHipHop.com, police were initially investigating Tru Life’s brother for a retaliation attack in the non-fatal shooting of Michael Slater. The individual, whom police suspect is a drug dealer, was shot in the stomach outside of club Pacha. Several hours after the crime, police claim five gang members ambushed 30 year old Jason Black and the teen at a Manhattan apartment complex. Both men were stabbed repeatedly in the chest and face. Black survived the assault, while the unidentified teen succumbed to his wounds. At the time, police theorized that the back and forth violence was the result of a feud between Jason Black and Tru Life’s brother. 1st degree murder carries a maximum sentence of life in prison under New York law. If an official or witness is not the victim, the distinction can also be decreed for murders involving multiple parties or tortuous killings. Tru Life’s last music effort, “Wet ‘em Up,” was heard as a selection on the soundtrack to Grand Theft Auto IV. At press time, Tru Life could not be reached for comment. Source : ALLHIPHOP
