*The Jagged Edge interview will be up soon*
ET has learned that EDDIE MURPHY and his girlfriend of 10 months, TRACEY EDMONDS, are engaged! According to OK! magazine, the 46-year-old āDreamgirlsā and āShrek the Thirdā star proposed on July 25 with a āmassive,ā roughly 8-carat CARTIER yellow diamond engagement ring.
A friend of the couple says, āTheyāre very adorable together, very happy,ā adding that they plan to tie the knot before the end of the year with a private wedding: āsomething low-key and romantic.ā
Not sure why Tracy’s in such a rush to marry a guy who still hasn’t taken responsibility for his child with Mel B. On a lighter note, I wonder what Johnny Gill thinks about this lol?
Rapper Chamillionaire is set to release his sophomore effort ‘Ultimate Victory’ on September 18th. Following the controversy surrounding the use of the ‘N’ word in Hip Hop, Chamillionaire decided to no longer feature profanities in his songs; a concept featured in both of these new vids. The first, ‘Hip Hop Police’ sees the rapper take on the role of an ‘offender’ on the run. In ‘Evening News’, fun is poked at America’s idea of newsworthy news. As well as being pretty funny, I’m liking these because he’s stepped out of the box and gone left-field – something Urban acts don’t do enough.
Evening News
What do you think of the vids?
Lil’ Kim attended the star-studded Beckham ‘Welcome’ party earlier this week in Los Angeles. It’s well known that Kimmie’s been under the knife a few times, but this just drove it home…she looks a mess. Why she decided to tamper with her previously pretty face I’ll never know, but this is just sad. On a side note, I’m still waiting on that post-prison album, as -looks aside-Kim is still one of the best female MC’s.
Any thoughts?

In an interview with Ozone magazine, UGK’s Pimp C let rip on a number of issues – namely Ne-Yo, Russell Simmons and Atlanta. Check out extracts from the heated interview:
“I aināt out here dressing up trying to be sexy licking my lips like old gay a** Ne-Yo. Licking lips and shit, n***a. Pussy d**k in the booty a** n***a wearing all that gotdamn lipgloss at their video shoots and letting n***as put makeup on their face. Yeah, I said Ne-Yo, you heard what the f**k I said. N***as putting all that lip gloss on they f**kinā lips looking like theyāve just been eating a pork chop sandwich with no hands.ā
On Russell Simmons:
āI just made peace with the lil n***a Short Dawg cause on the cool, it really wasnāt his fault. It was olā d**k-in-the-booty-Russell Simmons fault for not taking the message back to him and telling him to change his name. Yeah, I said ād**k-in-the-booty.ā I know what Iām talking about. B***h, Iāll air you out too.ā
On Atlanta & The South:
āAtlanta is not the South. Atlanta is not the South, gotdamn it, when you go to Atlanta what does your clock say? When you get off the plane from Los Angeles or Texas, what time do it be over there? Atlanta is East Coast time. You n***as aināt in the South.ā
I’m in hysterics right now lol. C didn’t hold back. I don’t know what either Ne-Yo or Russell must have done to him, but he went at them hard. He’s crazy for getting mad over time zones lol. Having said that, Ne-Yo’s ‘Because of You’ vid did remind me of a MAC cosmetics ad though…
Ignorant or telling it like it is?
