Andre 3000 popped for going 109 in a 65, confirmation that Kelly Rowland is no longer with Columbia Records, Isaiah Washingon evicted + MORE

X
Andre 3000 was caught going 109 mph in his Porshe while cruisin through the ATL:
X

X
"Henry County Police Capt. Jason Bolton says the entertainer, whose real name is Andre Benjamin, was clocked speeding in a 65 mph zone in his Porsche south of Atlanta about 12:30 a.m. Saturday. The 33-year-old Benjamin is free on $1,200 property bond pending a court date April 29. Benjamin’s publicist, Eufaula Garrett, did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

Police say Benjamin told them he was going so fast because he missed an exit and had to turn around."

Sounds like a late night creep to me…..

Yesterday we reported that Kelly Rowland had been dropped from Columbia Records. Today, both Kelly and the Label released joint statements confirming the split.
X
X
Kelly:

“Because Columbia Records has been my home base as an artist for more than a decade, the decision to move out on my own required a lot of soul-searching,” said Kelly Rowland. “As a solo artist, I felt the need to explore new directions, new challenges, and new freedoms outside my comfort zone and my friends and family at Columbia have been incredibly understanding about my evolution. I want to thank everyone at Columbia for the love and support they’ve shown and I will never forget how many good times we’ve had over the years.”

Columbia Records:

“Kelly Rowland is one of our finest contemporary artists and a musical force to be reckoned with,” said Rob Stringer, CEO, Columbia/Epic Label Music Group. “It has been a privilege and a pleasure to work with Kelly and we will continue our working relationship with her under the Destiny’s Child moniker. The decision for Kelly to seek other opportunities for her solo career was agreed upon mutually, and any reports to the contrary are false.”
X
X
Bold move for Ms. Rowland. It's a gamble, but hopefully she'll come out on top.

Former Grey's Anatomy star Isaiah Washington and his family have been evicted from their multi million dollar home. We reported last week that Isaiah was facing eviction due to owing over 100k in rent.

Lame.

I’m sure you’ve seen the “Sham WoW” informercial . Well the guy in that infomercial, Vince Shlomi, allegedly beat up a prositute recently after she bit his tongue:

“Shlomi told cops he paid [Sasha] Harris about $1000 in cash after she “propositioned him for straight sex.” Shlomi said that when he kissed Harris, she suddenly “bit his tongue and would not let go.” Shlomi then punched Harris several times until she released his tongue. The affidavit…notes that during the 4 AM fight Harris sustained facial fractures and lacerations all over her face…. After freeing his tongue, a bleeding Shlomi ran to the [hotel] lobby, where security summoned cops. Harris refused to cooperate with officers, who recovered $930 from her purse.”
