Shyne Encourages Inmates With Speech...Says Diddy Told On Him (Video Included)

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

"I went down when my co-defendant told on me and my life was over as a musician.  To get ten years, that's like a death sentence.  That's like going to death row and them injecting me with lethal injection but that's life.  I move on."

While Shyne Po may be hated on by the U.S. right now as he was recently deported back to his native Belize after serving nearly ten years for a club shooting, he's still using his positive energy to make sure others don't follow in his path.  Converting to Judaism while in jail and now legally known as Moses Michael Leviy, the former Jamal Barrow spoke to inmates in Belize, stating,

“I understood, I made a mistake.  I accepted responsibility for my mistake.  I didn't blame anybody else for my mistakes.  It wasn't my co-defendants fault that I shot somebody in the club.  I did that sh*t.  It was a terrible mistake and I moved on.  So that's what I challenge you guys to do.  Don't blame the C.O.; don't blame the police that (more...)

Tyler Perry Sued

Friday, November 27th, 2009

Tyler Perry's latest headline is not related to his stellar productions and philanthropic efforts, instead he's become the latest target of a lawsuit. The actor and screenwriter is being taken to court for copyright infringement for his film “Diary of A Mad Black Woman.”

Donna West claims that his production was a rip-off of a script she wrote titled “Fantasy of a Black Woman.” The script was turned into a free stage play based mainly on her life and performed in 1991. According to West, Tyler or someone else in his camp saw the play and stole her idea.

She testified in court saying,

“I can't put my play on because the stories are basically the same and nobody wants to see that again.”

"Diary" was released in 2005 and earned $50 million at the box office. Ms. West is being asked to be awarded all profits from the movie.

The case is expected to be completed by next Tuesday.
