Apparently, the rapper recently hinted his plans for a new reality show which possibly would reveal his marital troubles. However, talkshow host Wendy Williams blasted P on her show for making such a move. 
 
 Now P's responds to Wendy Williams in the statement below
First of all, I thought Wendy Williams was my friend. I understand that her job is to entertain gossip but how could she keep picking up TMZ gossip as if it was real news when she should have contacted me directly if she was really concerned about my family, or me like she claims. If anyone understands being in the media and  having to deal with celebrity personal family gossip and betrayal, she should know because of her own situation. If she wants to know the truth, as my friend, she should call me directly to get the facts and the truth rather than joining the media circus and talking trash.

Brees, NFLPA Speak Against Workers’ Compensation Bill


The NFL Players Association and the New Orleans Saints have been on a dispute over a bill  
that would affect player's injury benefits. In a statement released this week, Saints Quarterback Drew Brees opposes the Louisiana legislature that substantially reduces compensation benefits for professional players injured in OTA's, mini-camps, training camp or even post-season. The bill was proposed by Rep. Chris Broadwater

“The job of legislators in Louisiana is to protect injured workers and fight for their workers comp benefits, not find ways to support bills like this one which reduce the workers comp benefits we receive when we get hurt,” Brees said in a statement released by the NFLPA.

“There is no financial benefit to the state with this bill, only team management. I am disappointed that [bill sponsors] Representative [Chris] Broadwater and [Cameron] Henry would take such a stance against our players and other Louisiana workers. Whether we get hurt during the season or in the preseason, it is all the same. It is in preparation to help us win a championship for our community.”

Uh oh! Judge Rules That $357,000 BP Oil Settlement Be Paid Back


Gotta be shittin me. Even an unemployed man filed for BP oil settlement and received $357,000? 
This is sad because there were so many people/businesses who faced incredible challenges as a result of the oil spill that got denied.


— A federal judge ruled Tuesday that a $357,000 payment in a damage claim from the 2010 BP oil spill must be repaid because the claim was fraudulent.
The claim had been made by Casey Thonn for seafood losses. An investigation by former FBI director Louis Freeh determined it was made based on phony tax returns.
Freeh had recommended that the money be paid back and U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier agreed in an order issued Tuesday. The order outlined the evidence against Thonn, including the unfiled phony tax returns and forms that were filed with the Internal Revenue Service indicating Thonn had been unemployed when the spill occurred.
