Stop The Presses... The Truth About The Hills!

Ain't this about a blip??? Seems since LC has made her departure from MTV's "The Hills", she wants to spill the beans. Lauren Conrad was on ABC's "The View" this morning and let the cat out of the bag...: The show's as fake as Heidi's chest. She also told the ladies of The View that the apology that was doled out by Spencer Pratt over the phone was fake as well. She said that she wasn't even on the other end of the phone when that phone call took place.

In other mind boggling news: The sky is blue!

Toni Braxton Look-A-Like Not Fooling Anyone

Talk about loyal fans. The fans of Toni Braxton can not be deceived. The Grammy winner was advertised to perform a concert in Paramaribo, Suriname, a city in northern South America; however the show promoter Angel Ventura from Events 4 Suriname apparently attempted to dupe concertgoers with a bogus Braxton imposter.

Ventura contracted an American singer named Trina Johnson to pretend to be Braxton onstage, but when attendees realized that the 'Un-break My Heart' singer was not the real deal during her second song, pandemonium ensued as patrons booed, threw objects at the stage and looted the bars at the Anthony Nesty Indoor Stadium.

Security had to rescue Johnson from the melee and she was whisked away in a waiting limousine. Additionally, Johnson appeared at a press conference for the concert days before and claimed to be Braxton's manager. (The 41-year-old singer's actual manager is her husband, former Mint Condition singer Keri Lewis.) Attendees were told that Braxton would not be appearing at the concert because she was tired from her airline flight.

To promote the show, organizers ran television advertisements with images of the real Braxton announcing she was coming to Paramaribo. Braxton, who appeared on last season's 'Dancing with the Stars,' released a statement saying her camp was looking into the matter.

"Many apologies to the fans for the mis-representation, we are working on finding out exactly what happened and what the whole situation was," the singer said.

Authorities have started a criminal investigation into the matter and hundreds of local patrons filed fraud complaints. While no arrests have been made in the matter, police did interview Johnson and since she was able to produce a contract stating that she would perform an "imitation act," she was not able to be held. The promoter Ventura, who is allegedly from the US Virgin Islands, disappeared following the concert and failed to pay local sponsors, organizations, show workers and artists who opened the show.

Since the promoters and their team where not South American residents, border authorities have been alerted and are on look-out for them. Impersonating someone else with the intent to filch something, whether it is money, a good or service from another individual, according to Article 386 of the Surinamese Criminal Code is a criminal offence with a maximum jail term of three years.

Pete Rock Says Diddy Stole Juicy From Him

Just like me, I'm sure everybody just assumed that Diddy was the one who actually put together was of the biggest hip hop classics of all time when he and Notorious B.I.G. put out "Juicy" huh?

WRONG!!!

According to legendary hip hop dj Pete Rock, Diddy in fact, jacked him for the beat.... kind of. We all know the track was sampled from the group Mtume's song "Juicy", but this is what Pete says the idea was all his. I guess Diddy's snake in the grass ways have been around all along.

After August saw the release of Ready to Die: The OG Edition [click to listen], the debut album, released by DJ Semi, in the form of the album's demo, fans were able to hear alternative versions of the album that went platinum almost 14 years ago.

Included on the collection was a rare version of "Juicy," produced by none other than Hip Hop super-producer Pete Rock [click to read]. The 20-year veteran's version, long mistakenly thought to be a remix, predated the Diddy version, which featured an alternate chorus and different melody. After a recent interview with Grandgood.com, Rock revealed that he may have been sample-jacked by Diddy for one of Hip Hop's biggest anthems.

"Biggie and Sean came to my house one day and ['Juicy'] was playing on my drum machine," revealed Pete Rock. "Biggie thought I was making it for C.L. [Smooth]. When I told him I was just making it for myself, he immediately wanted it. I said sure, but didn’t think much of it. Then, next thing I know, I heard it playing somewhere. I’m over it now though."

In the rest of the interview, Pete Rock explains more from that recording. He says that to him, the matter was settled when he was paid, for what was billed as a remix.

Asked further about his sentiments of the deal, Pete Rock, simply stated, "Really though, I just wish Biggie was still alive for me to work with him."
