Janelle Monáe
I’ve been on a Janelle Monae kick lately. With the right marketing, she could be like Lady Gaga. She’s definitely cuter, and more talented. Unfortunately, Bad Boy Records isn’t putting her out like they should. You’d think a Grammy nominated artist that’s cool with Outkast would be getting more exposure. She should be a mega star by now. Hopefully, she will be soon. Check out the vid. Buy her music too. Metropolis, Suite I of IV: The Chase is currently available. Metropolis, Suites II and III will most likely be released in 2010. Unless Bad Boy drops the ball on her, which wouldn’t surprise me.

Richard Pryor's Trust Fund Hidden?
The two children of late comedian Richard Pryor are fighting to get the guardian of their father's trust fired, after he allegedly failed to reveal their father left them a trust fund.
Steven and Kelsey Pryor have accused Robert Philpot of hiding the information about the trust that was created by Pryor in 1988. Philpot, who's watched over Pryor's trust since the legendary comedian's death in 2005, is now in danger of being booted from his trust job.
The Pryor kids believe Philpot, possibly "wrongfully took, concealed, or disposed of [the] assets." They've filed suit in the L.A. County Superior Court on Tuesday, in hopes of retrieving any assets. -Linda Hobbs
