Is Ray J looking to "hit it" again?

According to AllHipHop, Ray-J has been enjoying the press he's received for “I Hit It First” so much that's he looking to record another version of the song. No word on who it would be about, but Ray J's other public romances -- besides Kim Kardashian -- are rumored to have included Lil' Kim, Karrine "Superhead" Steffans, Ananda Lewis, Pamela Anderson and the late Whitney Houston. 

MY 2 CENTS:

• Ray J must be able to figure out another way to get publicity besides this.
• "One Wish" is a good song. Ray J needs to focus more on making another one and less on this drama. 
• Let's hope Ray J isn't bragging about being "first" with Lil' Kim or Superhead. And definitely not Whitney -- that would be disrespectful!

For the second consecutive year, a Detroit Lions star will be featured on the cover of the Madden football video game, but this time it's retired legend rather than a still-active player.

Running back Barry Sanders will grace the cover of EA Sports' special anniversary edition of the game, dubbed Madden NFL 25. He won the honor in an online fan vote, besting Minnesota Vikings star running back Adrian Peterson. The Hall of Famer Sanders racked up 58 percent of the vote to Peterson's 42.

Lauryn Hill has managed to dodge jail time for neglecting to pay her taxes.

How did she do it? She basically worked out a deal with Sony -- she'll make five songs for $1 million, which will go toward her IRS debt. She'll also receive additional funding to record an entire album. She was on the hook for three years' worth of taxes.

Lauryn hasn't released a new album in more than a decade.

The Angles:

• The deal works until she has to pay taxes on the money she gets from the deal.
• She basically just got forced back into the industry she's been trying to escape for more than a decade.
• Life could be worse. Stay out of jail, get back to music, pay off your debt.
