Brooklyn's Joell Ortiz has linked up with Jim Jones and dropped visuals for their remix of Lloyd Banks smash hit "Beamer, Benz Or Bentley".

The Slaughterhouse MC cleverly flipped the song into the hilariously titled "Nissan, Honda, Chevy".

This was initially a solo freestyle by Joell before Jim Jones heard it and decided to hop on it.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Fighting on the star, Manny Pacquiao showed once again why he is such a star.

With the biggest fight crowd in the U.S. in 17 years cheering him on at Cowboys Stadium, Pacquiao dominated a strangely passive Joshua Clottey from the opening bell Saturday night to retain his welterweight title and cement his status as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world.


The fight wasn't close, and it was never in doubt. It was so one-sided that even those in the cheap seats among the crowd of 50,994 could tell without looking at the giant video screens over the ring that Pacquiao was in total command.

One ringside judge gave Pacquiao every round, while the two others gave him all but one. The Associated Press scored it a shutout for the Filipino sensation.

It wasn't as flashy as his knockout of Ricky Hatton or as savage as the beating he gave Oscar De La Hoya, but there was no doubt Pacquiao was in command the entire way against a fighter who kept his gloves up high in front of his face and chose to engage him only in spurts. Clottey's strategy worked to keep him upright, but he was never competitive in the biggest fight of his career.

"He's a very tough opponent," Pacquiao said. "He was looking for a big shot."

Pacquiao was supposed to have been fighting Floyd Mayweather Jr. instead of Clottey, but the megafight fell apart over a dispute over blood testing. He took out any frustrations over losing the biggest fight of his career by beating up Clottey on the biggest stage of his career.

"I want that fight, the world wants that fight, but it's up to him," Pacquiao said. "I'm ready to fight any time."

That time won't come soon. Mayweather is fighting Shane Mosley on May 1, and the earliest the two could get together would be in the fall and only if Mayweather backs off his demands for blood testing.

The fight this night was more of an event than a real competition, bringing in the biggest crowd in the U.S. for a fight since Julio Cesar Chavez fought Pernell Whitaker at the Alamodome in 1993. It paid off handsomely for Pacquiao, though, who earned at least $12 million and built on the reputation he has gained as one of the greatest fighters of his time.

Promoters not only sold out the 45,000 seats available for the bout, but added thousands more standing room only "party passes" for fans who could get a glimpse of the action and see every drop of sweat on the huge overhead screens.

"It's one of the most incredible stories not just in boxing but anywhere," promoter Bob Arum said. "Fourteen years ago he was sleeping in a cardboard shack in the Philippines and tonight he puts 51,000 people in this palace in Dallas."

The tone of the fight was set early, with Pacquiao advancing against his taller opponent and throwing punches with both hands from all angles. It was the same style that gave him spectacular wins in his last three fights and, though Clottey was clearly the bigger fighter, he fought back only sparingly.

"Everything's working now," trainer Freddie Roach told Pacquiao after the third round. "It's easy."

It was easy, too, much to the delight of the crowd and much to the delight of an entire country back in Pacquiao's homeland. There, traffic came to a halt and huge numbers of Filipinos, including army troops and allied American soldiers, jammed theatres in shopping malls and military camps nationwide to root for Pacquiao. In what has now become a familiar scene, Filipinos repeatedly yelled his name and threw punches in the air after the country's boxing hero was declared the winner.

Unlike most of Pacquiao's fights, this one lacked suspense from the opening seconds of the fight, when Clottey assumed the peek-a-boo position he would remain in except for brief spurts the entire bout.

"He has speed, I lost the fight," Clottey said. "He's fast, that's why I was taking my time."

Arum said he wasn't disappointed in the effort put out by Clottey, who was guaranteed to make at least $1.25 million.

"What was he supposed to do? If he played offense he'd get knocked out," Arum said. "I can't blame the kid for trying to wear him down."

Clottey seemed content to hold his hands high in a peek-a-boo style through much of the early rounds, trying to pick off Pacquiao's punches and perhaps rally late. But he gave away round after round, despite landing some clean punches on the rare occasions when he would throw a combination.

"You gotta take a chance," Clottey's trainer, Lenny DeJesus, implored him after the sixth round. "You're in a fight and you gotta start taking chances."

Clottey didn't, though, and his prize was that he was the first fighter in Pacquiao's last six fights to make it to the final bell. The only suspense when it came time to announce the decision was whether the three ringside judges would give Clottey any of the rounds.

Pacquiao threw three times as many punches as Clottey, an average of 100 a round, and landed as many power shots as Clottey threw. Final punch stats showed Pacquiao landing 246 of 1,231 punches to 108 of 399 for Clottey.

Clottey had gotten the fight off a good performance in his last bout against Miguel Cotto, but he was clearly more concerned with surviving the all-out assault that Pacquiao is noted for than winning the fight.

"Joshua Clottey had the power to knock him out but was reluctant to punch," DeJesus said. "We clearly got beat. I don't think he won a round."

Roach agreed, saying he saw nothing in Clottey to win.

"He had a good defense, but defense isn't enough to win a fight," Roach said.

One of 50 Cent's bodyguards has been arrested after brutally assaulting a group of photographers who were waiting outside the rapper's Copenhagen hotel.

The shutterbugs were attacked while waiting for Fitty to leave the Skt. Petri Hotel ahead of his performance in the Danish capital.

"I feared for my life," photographer Nikoloj Vraar told RadarOnline.

"One of 50 Cent's bodyguards came out and told us to leave. The next thing I knew, he grabs my throat and tried to strangle me."

"He cut off my airway, and I couldn't breathe," he added. "He took my camera and deleted photos."

Danish police did not released the bodyguard's name but confirmed he worked for the bad boy rapper and has been charged with assaulting two photographers.

"The bodyguard was arrested," said Vraar, who is editor-in-chief for MSN Star Lounge.

He was taken to Copenhagen hospital to be checked out by doctors and said his next stop would be the police precinct.

"I will be going straight to the police station and complete whatever paperwork is necessary."

The New York-based Women's Sports Foundation "congratulates Natalie Randolph on her historic mark," the group's CEO, Karen Durkin, said in an e-mailed statement Thursday.

"Girls and women -- along with their fathers, sons and brothers -- now have clear evidence that the gridiron ceiling can be broken. Natalie's hiring will serve as a much-needed catalyst for women in leadership positions across all sports," Durkin said.

Rich Daniel, the Divas' general manager, said Randolph will win over anyone skeptical about her ability to coach in an almost exclusively male sport. He referenced her assistant position at Woodson, where she worked with wide receivers.

"I know their passing game was one of the best in the league," Daniel said. "She went through some of the same things she'll go through now: Do you know how to coach? Can you play? But you can ask that of males, too. That's not unique to her being a female.

"People will have that initial reaction, but they'll realize she ... really knows what she's talking about."

Randolph's attorney, Lawrence Wilson, said, "I think everybody is pretty excited about it, not just because she's making history, frankly, but I think they're just excited about having Natalie Randolph."

Wilson, who knew Randolph at Virginia, where he also was a track and field athlete, said she is a "soft-spoken teacher -- and I'm sure a coach -- with a swift sword."

"She has a quiet demeanor about her but has no problem getting respect from people," he said.

Former MTV VJ, La La Vazquez covers the new issue of Latina Magazine and sets the record straight on a couple of issues.

Her race being one and her relationship with Denver Nuggets star basketball player Carmelo Anthony being the other.

On being Puerto Rican:

The essay,” she says solemnly. “The responses hurt.” She’s speaking of a first person piece she recently wrote for Latina.com on being Puerto Rican, in which she explained that, since childhood, people have often assumed that she is black. “Which I am!” she says, almost yelling. “But I am also 100 percent Puerto Rican and I’m proud of that. People got it twisted and thought I was saying, I’’m Puerto Rican. I’m not black. That isn’t what I was saying. It’s just that when I tell someone I’m Puerto Rican, I don’t want to hear someone say, ‘You ain’t Puerto Rican. You black.’ As if I can only be one or the other. Do I look like Jennifer Lopez? No. Clearly, I’m a black woman. However you want to define that, that’s what I am. And I’m also a Spanish-speaking Puerto Rican woman. Period.

On Her relationship with Carmelo Anthony:

It was Christmas Eve,” La La remembers. “We were in bed. And he said, La La, I love you. I want to be with you forever. Will you marry me?

Even with all that I’ve accomplished on my own,” says Lala, “I know the story out there about me: ‘[Carmelo] ain’t gonna marry her. She got that ring but now he’s making her wait. He don’t really love her…’ For once…I’d like to tell the story as it is. Not as it’s told.”

I wasn’t making her wait,” Denver Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony tells Latina magazine of La La, his fiancée. “If anything, I was waiting for her to slow down. She was doing her own thing, handling her business and we were happy. When it was time to take it to the next step we did. Period.

So has he ever doubted for a minute that La La Vazquez is Mrs. Right, one with life, mindset (and bank account) of her own? Melo speaks slowly, but surely: “ I wouldn’t be with her if it was any other way.” “Understood?

You can fool some of the people some of the time, but this seems ridiculous.

An unknown rapper out of Boston named Sam Adams has sent shock waves through the hip hop community by outselling the likes of hip hop titan Lil Wayne and DJ Khaled with his debut EP 'Boston Boy'.

Speculation has been further fueled due to the fact the majority of his sales have come from one region.

Adams and his team have quickly come to his defense by releasing a 3,500-page document reporting each individual sale sorted by region.

He recently spoke to the Boston Herald about the controversy.

I know there has been a considerable amount of controversy about my album release and hitting No. 1,” Adams said. “In response I’d like to say that the numbers are legit . . . In this day and age where numbers are tracked, I’m shocked people would accuse me of buying my own records. Sometimes people don’t want others to succeed.

In this business overnight success stories are very rare. For every Drake you have maybe 1,000 other rappers who have to grind it out just to get a mixtape hosted by a reputable DJ like DJ Whoo Kid or DJ Drama.

Adams meanwhile is meeting with executives at Warner Bros, Universal Records and Atlantic based on his quick ascent to the top of the charts.

This is all coming from a rapper who admittedly just started rapping seven months ago.

The MC does have his defenders though. Boston DJ Mr Peter Parker told the Boston Phoenix.

"Everybody is pissed the f*ck off because Sam Adams is blowing up and they're not. The bottom line is that he found his fan base, and now he's riding it as far as he can."

Sam himself says he's shocked by his quick rise to fame adding,

We were really suprised we jumped so fast,” he said. “Word-of-mouth is an amazing thing. People hear my stuff and like it and pass it on. It’s pretty perfect how everything worked out.”

As of yesterday afternoon, “Driving Me Crazy” was No. 8 and Adams’ album was No. 3 on their respective hip-hop charts. “I Hate College,” Sam’s auto-tuned remix of Asher Roth’s 2009 hit “I Love College,” has been viewed on YouTube more than 1 million times.

Death Row Records seems as though it's a curse these days. More dispute over owed money by the label's new owners was revealed recently.

According to a blog from the Wall Street Journal, lender New Solutions Capital Group is pleading for anyone to come bail them out, after they financed the purchase of Toronto-based WIDEawake Entertainment Group Inc.'s $18 million acquisition of Death Row out of bankruptcy back in January 2009.

Robert Thompson-So, of the lender group, said in a recent interview with Canadian Business that they've yet to see a dime from the loan, and things have "devolved into chaos" at the label, reports the Journal.

"If someone would pay the amount of the debt incurred plus a dollar, we're out," Thompson-So said, adding that the value of the debt is somewhere between $23 million and $25 million. "This is just another commercial loan transaction that started as a workout and continues to be a workout. Please -- step up to the table and take us out."

The WSJ report says that a Canadian judge ruled in December 2009 that WIDEawake Chief Executive Lara Lavi has been barred from running Death Row until a further order, and a new president was appointed.

New Solutions is now preparing to take over the business, but it's something they don't want to do.

The news comes less than a month after Dr. Dre filed a lawsuit against the new owners of Death Row Records, claiming they still owe him back royalties from his 1996 debut, The Chronic. He also claimed they released a new version of the album without his permission.

GRAPEVINE, Texas -- They say everything is bigger in Texas, and Top Rank promoter Bob Arum thinks big.

So it seemed only natural that Arum, along with his new best buddy, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, would get together to put on a fight at Jones' spectacular $1.2 billion Cowboys Stadium in Arlington

.

That is where welterweight titleholder and pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao will face former titleholder Joshua Clottey on Saturday night (HBO PPV, 9 ET, $49.95) in a fight that Arum considers one of the crowning achievements of his storied 44-year career as a boxing promoter.

The reason is simple: location, location, location.

Pacquiao-Clottey is certainly a significant fight just based on the involvement of Pacquiao, boxing's biggest worldwide star. But the stadium also plays a major role in generating interest.

"Much of the buzz is because it's at Cowboys Stadium. Of course, it's Manny Pacquiao, but it's also Cowboys Stadium," said Bill Caplan, Arum's longtime publicist and boxing lifer.

Said HBO senior vice president Mark Taffet, who runs HBO PPV, "I've been involved in nearly 160 pay-per-view events since 1991 with HBO PPV. This is the first pay-per-view fight we are doing in a stadium, so it's a totally unique experience for us. From a business perspective, as you know, Pacquiao-Clottey is called 'The Event,' so there was very specific recognition about the importance of Cowboys Stadium and what we believed that this stadium was bringing to the table."

That's exactly what Arum hoped for when he talked to Jones about getting away from the same old, same old casino fights.

"I am really, really excited," Arum said. "You get stale doing the same thing over and over again, going back to the casinos to put on these big events. With this event going to a fabulous, fabulous stadium like Cowboys Stadium, we're bringing the fights to the people. I think boxing can once again establish its place among the major sports in this country as it is in so many places in the world."

Promoting fights in major arenas is not new for Arum, but it's been awhile. And now he is happy to return and do it at Cowboys Stadium, where a crowd of 45,000 is expected.

"He's been promoting for 40-something years and this really gets his juices flowing," Caplan said. "It recharges Bob's battery. It's huge in a business way and in a psychological way for Bob. The interest and the enthusiasm never ends if you do new things."

Arum promoted the first fight at the Houston Astrodome, then considered an architectural marvel, when Muhammad Ali defended the heavyweight championship against Cleveland Williams in 1966.

"That building just blew me away. I had never seen anything like it before in my life, the suites, the amenities, there was nothing like it in the world," Arum said. "Now it's 44 years later and I'm back in another part of Texas. Cowboys Stadium is the most phenomenal building I have ever been in. Words really can't describe it, from that big screen [the stunning 72-foot high, 160-foot wide, $40 million HD video board] to the restaurants to the electronics. It is something really, really special. So it is a really great honor for me to be the first one to do a fight at the Astrodome and the first person to do a fight in Cowboys Stadium. I love that. … It's just thrilling."

HBO Boxing: Pacquiao vs. Clottey - Face-Off w/ Max Kellerman (HBO)
Read more…


An award-winning video director was unmasked Thursday as a brutal, bizarre serial breeder who repeatedly raped his daughters to create a "pure" bloodline.

Aswad Ayinde, who won an MTV award for directing The Fugees' "Killing Me Softly," fathered six kids with his daughters from the mid-1980s to 2002 - and delivered the babies himself, New Jersey prosecutors said.

Ayinde, 51, who most recently lived in Paterson, N.J., also had nine kids with his ex-wife, Beverly, and at least three more with two other women in Brooklyn, court records show.

"He said the world was going to end, and it was just going to be him and his offspring and that he was chosen," Beverly Ayinde testified at a pre-trial hearing.

Also known as Charles McGill, Ayinde faces the first of five trials next month - one for each daughter he allegedly violated, said Lisa Squitieri, the Passaic County prosecutor handling the case.

Ayinde, held on $1 million bond, was hit with 27 charges including aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault, lewdness, child endangerment, aggravated criminal sexual contact and criminal sexual contact.

His ex-wife still lives in New Jersey and a reporter found her home filled with small children. She did not return a call.

A young woman who said Ayinde was her father answered the door at the home but refused to talk about the case. "It's a painful thing. It's not something we're going to talk about outside of our family. The truth is coming out now, after a long time. That's it."

Several Web sites identified Ayinde as the director of The Fugees' video. Ex-girlfriend Subhana Rahim, 40, told The News she lived with the rape suspect from 2001 to 2004 and bore him two children.

His arrest prompted a probe by the New Jersey Division of Youth and Family Services to determine how the suspect allegedly turned his daughters into sex slaves without their knowing.

Some of the crimes allegedly occurred while the family was under scrutiny by the agency - and after the dad admitted to a 2000 attempt to snatch his children from a hospital while the state had temporary custody.
Prosecutors said Ayinde kept the kids from blabbing by beating them with wooden boards or kicking them with steel-toed boots.

"I was afraid to ever accuse him of being demented or being a pedophile," Beverly Ayinde, who married him in 1977, told the court. "I knew the word, but I wouldn't dare use it because it would result in a beating."

Ayinde also made a point of moving his family from town to town, even squatting in an abandoned funeral home in East Orange, N.J., investigators said.

Later, he moved to Brooklyn and began passing himself off as an artist, brazenly boasting his now-grown daughters were his wives, Rahim said.

"He was this successful artist who had worked with The Fugees," Rahim told The News. "I was shocked when he told me they were his daughters and that he'd been sleeping with them."

In court papers, Rahim said she was eight months pregnant and living with Ayinde in 2002 when she discovered his horrible secret.

"I didn't try to understand something so ridiculous," said Rahim, a former lawyer at a top Manhattan law firm.

DMX is the #1 draft pick to appear on the next season of "Celebrity Rehab" -- that is, if the rehab people can somehow find a way to keep him from being locked up.

DMX's attorney, Gary Jenkins, tells TMZ reps for "Rehab" contacted him after X was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly violating his probation by using drugs.

Jenkins says the "Rehab" team is considering sending someone to DMX's next court hearing to speak with the judge -- just like Dr. Drew did with Jessica Sierra from "American Idol" -- to try and get X placed in their care instead of being locked up.

The rapper is currently being held on no bond and is expected back in court March 16.

James Brown's body is missing from its crypt, according to his daughter.

The remains of the singer - who died on Christmas Day 2006 (25.12.06) of a suspected heart attack aged 73 - were being held at his daughter Deanna's house in South Carolina while a public mausoleum is being prepared.

However, LaRhonda Pettit, one of James' illegitimate daughters, claims the body of the 'Papa's Got A Brand New Bag' singer has gone missing to prevent her carrying out an autopsy to determine the true cause of his death.

LaRhonda, 48, is convinced James was actually killed by people trying to get his money.

She said: "My daddy's body has disappeared. I have no clue where it was taken, but I need to know where.

"I'm convinced his death was suspicious and I want the people responsible brought to justice.

"The only way to do that is to exhume his body and have an autopsy. I cannot understand why one was never conducted
."

LaRhonda is one of a dozen people to come forward after James' death and claim to be one of his children, and in 2007 she took a DNA test which gave a result that he was 99.9 per cent likely to be her father.

She claims James had an affair with her mother in the 60s.

The soul singer - who was known as the 'Godfather of Soul' - had nine children by four wives and his will named six children as beneficiaries, not including LaRhonda.

LaRhonda added to America's Globe newspaper: "It was common knowledge that my daddy took illegal drugs.

"He was also hooked on various prescription painkillers. At the very least there were enablers who helped cause his death."

It's not going to be hard to find 85 women who want to date Chad Ochocinco.

On Thursday, VH1 announced that the Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver, who this week is in Los Angeles training for ABC's Dancing With the Stars, will star in a reality dating show this summer.

"The Tournament" will start with Ochocinco finding 85 women interested in dating him. Then, during the first of 10 episodes, Ochocinco will narrow the playing field down to 16 -- four from each region of the country. That's when the real competition begins.

"Ochocinco is one of the most electrifying individuals in sports today. His bigger-than-life personality on- and off-the-field and his notorious skills as a social networker, connecting daily with his fans, makes him a perfect fit for VH1," said Jeff Olde, Executive Vice President of VH1, in a statement. "This show will not only give viewers a look inside his professional life, but also reveal his softer more romantic side when playing a very different kind of game."
