Former Bad Boy employee, Francesca Spero is suing Sean “P. Diddy” Combs on behalf of discrimination. Spero claims that P.Diddy fired her all for the fact that she is old and disabled.  Spero, who had been with the company since 1998, claims that she was a major asset to the high-flying executive position and was personally insulted when she was replaced by a younger woman, whom according to Spero lacked the position’s demands. According to sources, Spero had urgent hip replacement surgery in 2008, and unfortunately suffered a relapse due to her prescription meds and alcohol addictions.  P. Diddy’s spokesperson gave his point of view on the situation and straight-up, stated, “This is a grab for money by someone who concedes in her complaint to having had a drug relapse while on the job and an employer who was not satisfied with her work.” Uh Oh! Bad boys, bad boys, what are you gonna do?

Last Friday, Las Vegas witnessed the prettiest head shot—I mean mug shot, Paris Hilton was arrested due to authority officials finding .8 grams of cocaine in the heiress’ possession.

Paris was traveling in an Escalade when it was pulled over, the officer who pulled over the vehicle says that he immediately could sense the smell of marijuana come out of the SUV. The officer stated in his report that he immediately recognized that the passenger in the car was Paris Hilton. After allowing her to go into the Wynn Hotel to use the bathroom, (wait Paris HILTON is that allowed?) she asked for her purse in order to get her lip balm, once she opened the purse, says the officer, a small bag of white substance fell into his hands, as well as an Albuterol tablet. Paris admitted that the Albuterol was hers but that the purse belonged to a friend and that most of the cosmetics did not belong to her, as well as the baggie of cocaine. Since the incident Paris’ story has changed multiple times. Looks like daddy’s little princess may be facing 1-4 years in prison with some pocket change of $5,000 in fines. Oh Paris, I hope you are content with your new head shots, because these ones don’t get any photo shopping done.

According to the New York Post, the cast of the hit TV series, Glee, has been upset due to the lack of royalty profits they have yet to see from the albums the cast has recorded.  With more than a million albums sold and latest record, Glee: The Music—Journey to Regional, hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in June. However, the cast has nothing to show for it when it comes to monetary revenue. The cast’s deal with Sony Music has them cut out  largely in favor of the TV show’s executive producer, Ryan Murphy.  Last Thursday a few of the Glee cast members paid a visit to Hot 99.5 FM where they belted their not so Glee-ful songs during their interviews about the whole ordeal. Come on Sony give the kids some bucks, I mean after all they did lose their top Emmy award this week. Let’s cut them a break, it’s been a while since they’ve been in detention.
