Millions of people can empathize with Robin Thicke as he tries to get his wife Paula Patton to give their relationship another try. That might also be the reason why not many fans have picked up his new album dedicated entirely to his estranged partner.

People generally don't want to dwell on loves they've lost.

First week sales in the U.S. of the Interscope Records distributed Paula are expected to come in at 25,000. His previous project, Blurred Lines, moved 177,000 units during it's initial week in stores. The Guardian reports that that the U.S. figures look great compared to the U.K. charts where the album with debut at No. 200 with only 530 copies sold.

Hopefully Robin patches things up with his wife and gets back to making hit records like we know he can.

Chauncey Mahan refuses to go quietly into the night and is preparing to take Roc Nation to court. As we reported back in April, Mahan, a former Roc-A-Fella Records engineer was accused by Jay Z of trying to extort his company after he attempted to sell master recordings of Roc-A-Fella music to Hov's business partners at Live Nation.

Mahan told LN they could either buy the masters for $100,000 or he would put them up for auction. LN agreed to pay $75,000 and arranged to meet Mahan at his Northridge, California storage facility, where the masters were being stored.

The company got the police involved and when Mahan showed up to complete the transaction he was met by authorities.

Mahan agreed to be taken in for questioning and allowed the LAPD to hold onto the recordings until a judge could decide who the rightful owner was.

Jay Z's lawyers filed a grand larceny complaint. Because Live Nation is based in Beverly Hills, California, the police department there began investigating extortion allegations.

Jay eventually dropped the extortion complaint, but Mahan was not satisfied. TMZ obtained a new lawsuit filed by Mahan. In it he claims to have been an integral part of creating part of Roc-A-Fella's catalog from between 1999-2000.

Mahan's argument is that he was one of the first practioners of Pro Tools audio software and played a huge part in the recording of six albums, including The Dynasty: Roc La Familia and The Life and Times of S. Carter.

He wants a judge to declare that he is a co-owner of the copyrights and should be given back the masters.

Bobby Brown's personal trainer probably got fired last week because the 45-year old R&B singer couldn't make it through a New Edition concert in Mississippi.

The "My Prerogative" hit maker knew the moves as the group sang "If It Isn't Love," but he couldn't execute them. At one point he stops dancing and puts his hands on his knees. He starts dancing again a few seconds later before giving up and exiting the stage.

The rest of the group members didn't miss a beat and continued their performance.

There is trouble brewing within the Maybach Music Group camp. Meek Mill let it be known today via Twitter that he has issues with certain people on the team, in particular Wale.

Meek announced the release date of his Dreams Worth More Than Money album yesterday and apparently Wale didn't publicly or privately acknowledge it. It was enough to set the Dream Chasers Records CEO off. He rips his label mate in a rant that it seems like he's been holding in for a while. Check it out below.

This is going to get very interesting.

**UPDATE**

Wale has responded via Instagram. He posted a photo that he says he put up several weeks ago in support of Meek's new single "I Don't Know (Suicidal)." He then goes on to give his side of the story.

Few weeks ago. (7w) I posted this .but ok. Movin along . My Avi always changed when it's THAT time .. Ok that's not enough y'all see "razor ramon " post on his no. But I don't care.. I wrote a long ass post day before his single dropped .. Mariah record dropped nobody said a word I didn't care .. I still don't... I carry myself with confidence and humility ., I always try to have a lighter side to MMG.. Cuz I understand I don't "fit the mold" so if I'm tryna spruce an interview up to show that we not tryn be "serious tough guys" on the red carpet Or try to be a bit more engaging to broaden our audience forgive me . I never wanted anybody to think we take ourselves THAT serious. (Were rappers )I don't need to take anybody shine.. Or hate on anybody . I walk in a completely different world .. Where I look for slp jeans and Shanghai dunks online and know what "kayfabe" means. I check nbadraft.net daily . I'm on whatculture allll day I enjoy shyt like that. I play fuckin Zelda and fuck wit bitches who teach yoga and paint... I get it . I'm different . I always embrace that shyt.. I encourage y'all to embrace what y'all like or the person y'all wanna be.. I text niggas happy Father's Day and get no reply .. I laugh it off .. I laugh at how I write songs about "chain music" and y'all get lost or "600benzz" i like to have fun with our culture. Because I beleive I add THAT to a "gangster rap" faction. I made my opportunity work for me that way. I write poems . I watch wwe . I collect kicks. I'm sensitive ok. Maybe bi polar. But one thjng I'm not is a hater.. I see Daquan jokes all day yesterday and patted myself on the back that I'm regarded as the aforementioned adjectives and not "Daquan". I'm me and I'll be me and do this shyt wit my "dew" till I don't wanna do it. I encourage you to wake up soon as you find time. This was a post about nothin.

When Dave Chappelle took a break from doing stand-up and walked away from Chappelle's Show in 2006, Katt Williams stepped in and looked like he would be the man for a long time until he started to have myriad of problems on and off stage. A comedic void was created that Kevin Hart filled.

Hart has now become the biggest comedian on the planet with sold out shows from coast to coast and countless movie appearances. 

In Katt's mind he helped Hart's ascension and can reclaim his spot whenever he's ready.

"I went off the grid, " Katt told Bishop Don "Magic" Juan during a recent interview. "We understood when we did that, that was the potential of what may happen. The only question is who was gon' benefit from that? And so if some outside entity or some enemy of mine or somebody I had a threat with was the person pretending to be the king then that's what it would be. But it was only gonna be Kevin Hart. And I told Kevin Hart's people how to make Kevin Hart. Because I don't mind competition, I'm really the greatest of all time. So I can build you to fight me boy, boy. You don't want it."

Katt also says he created the BET Hip Hop Awards and gets paid no matter who hosts the event. However, he won't attend as long as Stephen Hill is the President of Music Programming and Specials.

TMZ is reporting that a second woman is claiming Mathew is the father of her child, who was born in 2010, the same year Tina filed for divorce after finding out her husband had gotten a different woman pregnant.

TaQoya Branscomb

30-year old TaQoya Branscomb, a former lingerie model turned real estate agent, has filed legal documents in Texas asking for a declaration of paternity, a DNA test and child support.

Mathew is already paying child support to Alexsandra Wright after it was proven he fathered a child with her. If Branscomb's claims turns out to be true he'll have to support her child as well. That will tough for him to do since his income took a substantial hit when his daughter Beyonce fired him as her manager in 2011.
