Kanye West is not afraid to tackle any subject in his songs. In a snippet from the song "Clique" that TMZ nabbed the Louis Vuitton Don raps about his girlfriend Kim Kardashian's sex tape with Ray-J.
"Break records in Louis, ate breakfast at Gucci/My girl a superstar all from a home movie/Bow at our arrival, the un-American Idols." Yeezy raps.
Kanye is of course referring to the infamous 2007 home made adult flick Kim Kardashian, Superstar that launched the career of Kim K as a reality tv star.
The snippet comes from the Hit-Boy produced track that also features Big Sean and Jay-Z. It will appear on the G.O.O.D. Music compilation album Cruel Summer.

Desperate times call for desperate measures and at this point Chad Johnson will do just about anything to win his estranged wife Evelyn Lozada back.
The former NFL wide receiver tattooed her face on his right leg with the name "Eve" under it. According to TMZ, Chad got the work done this past weekend.
TMZ also reports that it doesn't matter what Chad does because Eve has no intentions of giving their marriage a second chance after he reportedly head butted her during an argument several weeks ago.
I guess you can't blame the man for trying.

With a new football season upon us teams are looking for that little bit of an edge to give them the extra motivation needed to beat their opponents. The University of Virginia seem to have found that edge in 50 Cent's hit "New Day."
The Cavaliers made a promo video (below) using the song showing their preparation for the 2012 season and it's already paid off. Virginia won their season opener 43-19 over Richmond this past Saturday. Hopefully the good luck will carry over for the rest of their season.
On another note, USA Today has selected "New Day" as their pick of the week. Check out what they had to say about Fif's new banger below.
50 Cent's New Day, featuring Dr. Dre and Alicia Keys, is our pick of the week. The rapper seems re-energized and ready to conquer the world all over again on this propulsive Dr. Dre-produced track. Keys provides the optimistic hook on the first single from 50's upcoming fifth album, Street King Immortal.
Make sure you pick up the single on iTunes now

A police officer had 19-year old Ryan Dorm jailed for four months after an incident in February of this year in which he falsely claimed that he was assaulted by the teen outside of a gas station in Brentwood, Maryland.
Prince George County, Maryland police officer Donald Taylor said that Dorm, believed to be involved in an attempted robbery at the gas station, reached for the officer’s weapon.
"After catching up to an aggressive youth who swung at him and began to flee, the youth reached for his gun, at which point he fired his gun at the youth in self defense," Taylor had claimed.
Video footage taken from the gas station February 3, but not released until Monday shows what actually happened was that Taylor chased down Dorm from behind and hit him in the head with his gun, which fired in Dorm's face.
"I heard a shot and then felt a flash," Dorm told Fox 5. "I thought I was dead actually."
"Well, the video contradicts what the officer originally wrote in his charging documents,” Dorm’s lawyer, Jimmy Bell told NBC Washington. “What it shows is that my client didn't lie. They print my client is a criminal. They put his face on television saying he committed these crimes, and he didn't."

Officer Taylor has been charged with second-degree assault, making false statements, reckless endangerment and official misconduct.
Dorm and his lawyer filed a $10 million lawsuit against the police department and Taylor.

Griselda Blanco, the drug kingpin known for her blood-soaked style of street vengeance during Miami’s “cocaine cowboys” era of the ’70s and ’80s, was shot to death in Medellin by a motorcycle-riding assassin Monday.
Blanco, 69, spent nearly two decades behind bars in the United States for drug trafficking and three murders, including the 1982 slaying of a 2-year-old boy in Miami.
Called the “Godmother of Cocaine,” she was deported in 2004 to Colombia, where she maintained a low profile.
Colombia’s national police confirmed her slaying late Monday. According to Colombian press reports, two gunmen on motorcycles pulled up to Blanco as she walked out of a butcher shop in Medellin, her hometown. One man pumped two bullets into her head, according to El Colombiano newspaper. It was the sort of death many had predicted for her: Blanco has been credited with inventing the idea of the “motorcycle assassin” who rode by victims and sprayed them with bullets.
“It’s surprising to all of us that she had not been killed sooner because she made a lot of enemies,” former Miami homicide detective Nelson Andreu, who investigated her, said late Monday. “When you kill so many and hurt so many people like she did, it’s only a matter of time before they find you and try to even the score.”
The former kingpin was with a pregnant daughter-in-law, who was uninjured. According to El Colombiano, the woman told police that Blanco was no longer involved in organized crime and that she was hoping to live off the sales of several properties she owned.
Blanco came to epitomize the “cocaine cowboy” bloodshed of the 1980s, when rival drug dealers brazenly ambushed rivals in public.
Raised in the slums of Medellin, she began her criminal career as a pickpocket, eventually commanding an empire that reportedly shipped 3,400 pounds of cocaine per month, by boat and plane. She was considered a Colombian pioneer in drug smuggling to the United States, a precursor to the larger cartels that dominated in the 1980s. She even had a Medellin lingerie shop custom design bras and girdles with special pockets to hold cocaine, a tool used by her drug mules flying to Miami.
She ran the organization with her three of her four sons, two of whom were later assassinated in Colombia.
Blanco was known for her flamboyant lifestyle — one of her sons was named Michael Corleone, an homage to The Godfathermovies. Three of her husbands also died in drug-related violence.
But it was her nasty temper and penchant for unyielding violence that drew the attention of law enforcement and the public.
Investigators linked her to the daytime 1979 submachine gun attack at Dadeland Mallthat shocked Miami. Detectives conservatively estimated that she was behind about 40 homicides.
She was only convicted of three murders.
Two of them: Blanco arranged the slayings drug dealers Alfredo and Grizel Lorenzo in their South Miami house, as their three children watched television in another room. They had failed to pay $250,000 for five kilos of cocaine that Blanco had allegedly delivered to them.
She was also convicted of ordering a shooting that resulted in the death of 2-year-old Johnny Castro, shot twice in the head as he drove in a car with his father, Jesus “Chucho” Castro. Blanco was targeting Jesus Castro, a former enforcer for Blanco’s organization.
Detectives learned the intimate details of the hit from Jorge Ayala, the charismatic hitman who later testified against Blanco. He told police that Blanco wanted Castro killed because he kicked her son in the buttocks.
Jorge Ayala
“At first she was real mad ’cause we missed the father,” Ayala told police. “But when she heard we had gotten the son by accident, she said she was glad, that they were even.”
She had been arrested in 1985 in a cocaine trafficking case in New York. Ultimately, she served 13 years in federal custody before she was handed over to Florida authorities.
Blanco seemed destined for Florida’s Death Row— but the prosecution’s murders case was dealt a severe blow.
The reason: Ayala — the case’s chief witness — engaged in phone sex with secretaries from the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office. After an investigation, three secretaries were fired and a veteran prosecutor resigned.
Special prosecutors from Orlandotook over the case, and Blanco cut a plea deal in 1998.
Blanco was sentenced to three concurrent 20-year sentences, of which she had to serve only about one-third because of guidelines in effect at the time of the murders. Even on her return to Colombia, she was believed to have held onto immense wealth.
In recent years, younger Miamians were introduced to Blanco via two “Cocaine Cowboys” documentaries made by filmmakers Billy Corben and Alfred Spellman.
“This is classic live-by-the-sword, die-by-the-sword,” Corben said Monday. “Or in this case, live-by-the-motorcycle-assassin, die-by-the-motorcycle assassin.”

When Nate Dogg passed away in 2011 he didn't leave a will. As a result his family members are locked in a bitter dispute over his estate.
According to TMZ, initially after his death Nate's wife, Latoya Calvin, took charge. A move his children didn't agree with. They took Latoya to court and asked that attorney Alex Borden be put in place to oversee the estate, but that move was denied by a judge.
Latoya reportedly filed new documents this week requesting that Nate's mother, Ruth Holmes, be named as co-administrator of his estate. A move Nate's children also have an issue with.
"Ruth doesn't have my best interest or the interest of my brothers and sisters." says Nate's daughter, Aundrane Hale.
Hale adds that Ruth "was never a grandmother" and has withheld money in the past, and says that Latoya "didn't even show up to Nate's funeral."
