Mary J. Blige Hit With $901,000 Tax Lien

As the saying goes, "More money, more problems," which is exactly what Mary J. Blige is facing after being hit with a $900,000 tax lien.

According to official documents obtained by TMZ, the songstress owes $901,769.65 in back taxes to New Jersey as her financial woes continue.

This is not the first time Mary J has faced money troubles. Blige was sued earlier this month for allegedly defaulting on a $500,000 bank loan. Last year, she was sued for doing the same on a $2.2 million bank loan and her charity was hit with a lawsuit for not paying back a $250,000 loan.

Kanye West Hits The Stage In Abu Dhabi In Another Crazy Outfit

Kanye West recently performed at a show at the Du Arena in Abu Dhabi. Watch the video and check out his bizzare outfit. Mr West never disappoints.

Yep, that’s a straitjacket he’s wearing. We’re not quite sure what the headgear is all about, but it certainly looks scary.
West donned the outfit for his performance of “Heartless,” removing the hoodlike garment at the end of the song. He gave no explanation for the odd getup.
However, West may be attempting to make a little point with the straitjacket. At the end of December, the Grammy-winning artist treated an Atlantic City audience to a rant in which he declared that he was not crazy, despite what the media may make him out to be. At that same show, he announced his plans to boycott this year’s Grammy Awards.
West is one of the top nominees at the Grammys, which will take place February 10. He received six nods total, including two of his songs in the Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song categories.

'Chris Brown investigated for assault'

The Los Angeles Police Department has confirmed Chris Brown is being investigated on suspicion of assault following his brawl with Frank Ocean.

Police in Los Angeles are investigating Chris Brown for ''assault''.

The 'Turn Up The Music' hitmaker is said to have got into a brawl with Frank Ocean last night (27.01.13) over a parking spot at Westlake Recording Studios in Los Angeles and police say they were told Chris threw the first punch.

A statement from the Los Angeles Police Department stated: ''West Hollywood Station deputies are investigating allegations that Chris Brown assaulted an unnamed victim. Deputies responded to a call of six males fighting at the 7200 block of Santa Monica Boulevard, West Hollywood.

''Upon their arrival, deputies talked to witnesses who stated that Chris Brown and the victim were involved in an altercation over a parking space. The altercation allegedly led to Chris Brown punching the victim.

''After a brief fight, the parties were separated. Chris Brown and his entourage left the location prior to the arrival of deputies. The investigation is on-going and investigators will contact Chris Brown at a later time.''

Sources say that Frank told Chris, who is still on probation for assaulting his on/off girlfriend Rihanna in 2009, ''This is my studio, this is my parking spot,'' which prompted Chris to offer a handshake.

However, one of Frank's associates is then said to have attacked him, which led to one of Chris' friends hitting him in retaliation and the two singers then began fighting.

Frank took to Twitter shortly after to say he was ''jumped'' by Chris and claims his hand injury may affect his live performance at the Grammy Awards next month.

The 'Pyramids' singer wrote: ''Got jumped by chris and a couple guys. lol. i only wish everest was there.

''Cut my finger now I can't play w two hands at the grammys. (sic)''
