The King of Pop continues his reign even beyond the grave.

That’s right, for the fourth straight year Michael Jackson has topped the annual list of “top-earning dead celebrities” – a feat that sees him surpass the earnings of fellow musical icons Elvis Presley, Prince, Whitney Houston, David Bowie, and more.

Gabrielle Union made headlines today when news of her lawsuit against BET hit the wire.

The timing of filing (and indeed the filing itself) shocked many, given that season 4 of her hit series ‘Being Mary Jane’ launches in January on…BET.

Per reports, Union is unhappy due to strategic plays she feels are being made to get more out of her – for less money.

As reported, her suit read:

“BET represented and assured Ms. Union before she agreed to perform in Being Mary Jane that it would never produce more than thirteen (13) episodes per season of the series. BET now wants to shoot twenty (20) episodes of the series back-to-back and cram all of the episodes into a single season in order to fraudulently extend the term of Ms. Union’s contract, with no additional consideration, and to deprive Ms. Union of her agreed-upon compensation for the next two seasons of ‘Being Mary Jane.’

Wasting no time, BET have clapped-back. Read their response below…

After “that” police raid, Chris Brown may have been vindicated in the court of public opinion. However, the mother of his daughter Royalty is using said incident – during which the singer “allegedly” pulled a gun on Baylee Curran – to drag the star back to court.

This time Nia Guzman is seeking for the star’s visitation with their two-year-old to be monitored.

In a filing with the DCFS, she reportedly cited Brown’s environment as a case for concern.

Naturally, C. Breezy is none to impressed.

He took to social media to vent. And when Guzman replied, he released a video.
