Gucci Mane will have to pay the woman he kicked out of his moving car nearly $60,000 after she sued him according to TMZ.
The incident happened in April 2011. Gucci, real name Radric Davis, met Diana Graham at an Atlanta Mall. The rapper invited her out for breakfast, which she agreed to. He then tried to offer her $150 to stop by a hotel with him. When she refused, he pushed her out of his car while it was in motion. She was taken to the hospital with "soreness and pain."
Gucci was arrested on misdemeanor battery charges stemming from the incident.
Diana sued the rapper claiming mental anguish, pain and emotional distress.
Gucci failed to show up in court and a judge ruled in Diana's favor. The default judgement of $58,161.24 is for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering.
The judge also signed an order allowing Diana to go after the rapper's cars, bank accounts and other assets to settle her debt.

French Montana has achieved what just about every artist wants when they start their career. The South Bronx rapper is now famous and has more money than he can possibly spend, but that success has come with a price.
During a recent interview with TheBoomBox, French revealed that his five year marriage couldn't survive his rising fame.
"Man, I couldn't do it; that's why we got separated," French explains to The BoomBox. "At first it was smooth, but then as much as people think that money changes you, it's changing them around you. A person ain't gonna treat you the same now that they think that you think you somebody."
French said constantly being around groupies and sexy women also caused a strain.
"You around so many beautiful women, that's a conflict too," he says. "It's just about finding somebody that understand the game, what you're into. But then on the flip side of the coin, you gotta understand their game, what they into. There's a flip side to everything. You can't expect to make all this money and not go through problems. You can't expect God to give you everything you want without taking something away."
The Bad Boy artist also discussed his outrageous spending habits, which include purchasing a fleet of cars and a $350,000 Rolls-Royce Ghost.
"When you finally get the chance to buy it, you buy it," French said. "You don't really give a f*ck about what it cost, whatever. Just to get it off your chest. Then people hit you with the stupidest shit every time you about to buy it. They don't help you, they just tell you, 'Well, you only live once.' How many times you heard that one? 'You only live once.' Before you know it, you dead broke. F*cked up in the game."

50 Cent was a guest on The Rickey Smiley Morning Show recently. During his interview he had the chance to speak on the types of women that interest him, the passing of his former manager Chris Lighty and whether that tragedy would cause him to make peace with any of his rivals.
He also cleared up rumors that there was friction between him and his good friend Floyd Mayweather Jr.
"[The rumors] really come from everybody around him waiting for the next time Floyd feels generous. And I have a lot so I don't wait for nobody," 50 said. "It just puts us in an interesting space sometimes because I'll go do what I gotta do. I don't have to sit around and wait for the next time he feels like giving somebody something."

As December 21, 2012 approaches, many people may be asking themselves “how will I survive the zombie apocalypse?”
Well, the government may have the answers.
With Halloween around the corner, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)is encouraging natural disaster preparedness groups to latch on to a zombie-themed message to get the attention of the masses while simultaneously injecting their brains with relevant survival information.
“Zombie Preparedness messages and activities have proven to be an effective way to engage new audiences, particularly young people who may not be familiar with what to do before, during or after a disaster,” said FEMA’s Danta Randazzo during a monthly webinar on Thursday. “[It’s] also a great way grab attention and increase awareness about emergency preparedness.”
Hundreds of personnel tuned in to a webinar called “Zombie Awareness: Effective Practices in Promoting Disaster Preparedness,” a public discussion about integrating pop culture references into emergency readiness campaigns to get a younger audience interested in serious issues and life-or-death situations like what you should do in case of a natural disaster.
FEMA took cues from the Center For Disease Control and Prevention, who in May put together “Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse” to pique readers’ interests.
“The campaign generated an enormous amount of publicity at a very low cost,” said Randazzo.
The CDC’s zombie survival guide followed a Twitter call out asking what people were prepared for. A lot of people told them they were ready for a zombie attack, which got them thinking about a new general preparedness message.
“We had to do something that wasn’t going to take a lot of man power or hours,” said Maggie Silver from the CDC. “We thought, why not give people what they want.”
And the people wanted zombies.
The “online kit” of tips and tricks to survive an encounter with the walking dead paralleled what one might do in a situation—say—like an earthquake or hurricane.
Using a “tongue-in-cheek” blog post, they wrote on their website “if you are prepared for a zombie apocalypse, you’re prepared for any emergency.”
By working in the zombie-theme, the CDC grabbed the attention of their target audience, and those obsessed with the possibility of an undead takeover.
Within 10 minutes of the information going out on social media sites like Twitter and Facebook, the CDC’s site crashed, they said.
The campaign was widely received and readers online turned a serious conversation into one about a faux-apocalypse.
“Not only were people coming to read about zombies…they were being taken to our general message, which was the ultimate goal for this,” said Silver. “You pull them in with the zombies and then they stay to check out your content.”
Are you prepared for an attack?

Someone's ready to break some dishes!
Plenty of folks were shocked and surprised to see exes Rihanna and Chris Brown kiss on the lips and embrace inside the Staples Center at Thursday's MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles -- none more so than Brown's current girlfriend, Karrueche Tran.
A source tells Us that the aspiring model, 23, is "totally p*ssed off" with her beau of nearly a year after he congratulated Rihanna for her Video of the Year win with a very public show of affection.
"She felt the kiss was a public slap in the face," the source says, adding that Brown decided to attend the VMAs last minute, without letting Tran know. Earlier this year, multiple sources told Us Weekly that Brown, 23, and Rihanna, 24, have been secretly hooking up; the twosome split in February 2009 following his brutal assault of the "We Found Love" singer.
Rihanna recently opened up about her complicated feelings for Brown to Oprah Winfrey, calling him "the love of my life."
"[Karrueche] and Rihanna really hate one another and Chris ultimately just does what he wants," the source continues. "Seeing him with Rihanna at such a public event made her very angry."
Tran -- who has warred with Rihanna over Twitter -- posted a telling Instagram pic late Thursday. "Treat Your Girl Right," a graphic poster reads.
Should Tran just face the music and realize Brown and Rihanna are destined to get back together?

Paris Jackson has been in the news quite a bit recently. The 14-year old daughter of Michael Jackson was at the center of a very bizarre family squabble that saw her grandmother, Katherine Jackson, vanish from the home they share for 9 days recently amid rumors that certain family members were angling for some of the King of Pop's fortune.
Glamour had the chance to sit down recently with Paris for an interesting interview. Check out an excerpt from it below.
Some members of her family wish she'd wait to become an actress.
"A lot of people don't want me to do it [her aunt Janet Jackson has said, "She has the rest of her adult life to be that actress that she wants to be... Your childhood—you completely lose."], but Aunt La Toya believes in me. She heard me play a little guitar and sing, and she started clapping, 'Oh my God, oh my God.' She really does encourage me; it's just awesome of her."
She's determined to prove herself.
"I love my dad, and I'm proud to be his daughter. I just don't think the title 'M.J.'s daughter' fits me. A lot of people think he's the only reason I'm making it, but I want to show that I do have talent and that I can make it if I try. I want to be my own person."
She refuses to follow the crowd.
"The clique in my class, they don't like me or my friend because we're outside of the box. We're not copycats. Prince calls me goth, but I'm more rock 'n' roll. (I listen to older music like AC/DC; Phil Collins is the ish.) A ton of kids at school have made fun of me; if I had to give advice to other girls, I would say, 'Hang loose and ignore them. They shouldn't faze you no matter how popular they think they are.'"
