CHRIS BROWN, DRAKE: Offered $1 Million Each to Fight
Celebrity Boxing founder Damon Feldman has offered Drake and Chris Brown $1 million each to step into the ring and settle their score once and for all. Feldman says that if Drake and Brown agree, the fight would take place on August 25th at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. A portion of the proceeds would go to a shelter for battered women.
If Feldman is able to pull off the fight, it would represent a step up in star power for him. Some of the previous “celebrity” fights he’s promoted include the late Rodney King versus a Pennsylvania police offer, Danny Bonaduce versus Jose Canseco, and Gervase Peterson from Survivor versus adult film star Travis Knight.

FLO RIDA: Fined $7K for Lying to Judge
Flo Rida is going to be $7000 lighter in the wallet after copping to lying to a judge in the lawsuit an ex-employee has brought against him. Flo didn't respond to Mahogany Miller's lawsuit in time, and his excuse was that he'd never gotten the legal paperwork. Miller says she was paid only about $3 an hour and was fired when she complained about it.
But it turns out that the address listed on the original complaint was correct, and the addressee was an employee of Flo's. So the judge slapped him with the cost of Miller's attorney's fees.

LOVE AND HIP-HOP: Boycott Urged
Change.org, a group that previously urged advertisers not to support Basketball Wives has their sights set on a new target: Love And Hip-Hop: Atlanta.
Referring to the VH1 reality show as “premium digital crack,” the organization is urging sponsors to pull their adds from the show. “As we work toward national- and local-level change, let’s tell VH1 and their sponsors (again) why people from a broad range of backgrounds will NOT stand for the exploitation of the lived experiences of people who may not even know they’re being exploited,” added the organization. “This isn’t a ‘Black or White’ thing, this is a HUMAN thing…and we should all understand.”
Love and Hip-Hop: Atlanta’s Joseline Hernandez doesn’t seemed too concerned about the criticism. Not long after the boycott was announced she tweeted, “If you're doing what you suppose to be doing, your name will always come up, no matter what. [That’s] industry101. [Screw] em.”
