Jay Z fighting to keep financial & criminal records out of 'Big Pimpin' lawsuit

Rapper Jay Z is asking a judge to keep his financial and criminal records confidential in his 'Big Pimpin' lawsuit, insisting the documents do not pertain to the case.

The hip-hop mogul has been locked in a California court battle with Osama Ahmed Fahmy since 2007, after he alleged Jay Z's hit song, Big Pimpin violates his rights to his uncle Baligh Hamdy's Egyptian composition, Khosara, Khosara, which was released in 1957.

Jay Z has maintained the song is protected under a previous licensing agreement made by producer Timbaland when the song was released in 2000, but a trial date has been set for later this year if the two parties cannot come to an agreement.

Fahmy is reportedly seeking the financial paperwork to show how much the rapper made during each concert he performed the track and claims that Jay Z's criminal past is relevant because he stole the track.

In 1999, Jay Z pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor in the stabbing of record executive Lance Rivera and was sentenced to three years probation.

A judge has yet to rule on Jay Z's request, according to TMZ.com.

Anti-Fur protesters crash Rihanna's new perfume launch in Brooklyn

Rihanna’s launch of her new perfume “RiRi” at a Macy’s in Brooklyn was crashed by anti-fur protesters on Monday. The animal rights activists noisily interrupted the event and slammed the singer for wearing fur before being removed by security.
As you can see in the footage below, Macy’s security officers and members of Rihanna’s own security team got into a scuffle with protesters who chanted and held up anti-fur signs. The guards pulled down the demonstrators’ signs, which said such things as “Who Died For Your Coat?” and “Skinned Alive,” alongside images of dead and skinned animals. The picketers also repeatedly yelled “Shame on Rihanna” while marching through the department store.

PETA previously slammed Rihanna in September 2012 after photos were released of the singer wearing snakeskin boots.

WWF legend Jimmy Snuka to be charged with murder of his gf who died 32 years ago

If you grew up in the 80s then you definitely know 'Superfly Sanuka'. Well, the former professional wrestling star has been charged with third-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter in the death of his girlfriend in eastern Pennsylvania more than three decades ago. Prosecutors today announced the results of a grand jury investigation of Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka in the death of 23-year-old Nancy Argentino of Brooklyn, New York.

Argentino was pronounced dead after authorities were called to a hotel room near Allentown in May 1983.

According to her autopsy report, recently obtained by The Morning Call, Argentino suffered multiple cuts and contusions on her entire body. The autopsy says Argentino died of traumatic brain injuries consistent with a moving head striking a stationary object.
The investigation was re-opened after continuous pressure from Argentino's family.
Seventy-two-year-old Snuka, now living in Waterford Township, New Jersey, wrote in his 2012 autobiography that he was innocent in her death, which he said ruined his life. He said he never hit or threatened her.

Court records indicate that Snuka was arraigned this afternoon and sent to Lehigh County Jail in lieu of $100,000 bail.

Nancy Argentino died on May 10, 1983, and  Superfly Snuka was the only person of interest at the time, yet he was never charged.

Spain finds Guinea migrant hidden behind car engine (photos)

Wow! How desperate are some people to escape the poverty in their country? Two migrants from West Africa entered the Spanish territory of Ceuta from Morocco on Sunday August 30th curled up next to a car engine (can you spot the guy in the engine?) Another one was hidden behind the back seat of the Mercedes-300 car.

Spanish police found the pair during a customs check at El Tarajal, near the Moroccan border. The two men from Guinea got first aid, having suffered from a lack of oxygen. Police detained two Moroccan men who were in the car when it was stopped. It is not clear how long the man in the engine compartment had been inhaling noxious fumes for.
