How this went undercover for so long is beyond us. We've all got a few skeletons in the closet, but your own sister is unacceptable for most. But not for NFL prospect Tony Washington In May 2003 the then 16-year-old was convicted of doing the nasty with his biological sister. Folks who knew the kid said it was consensual but his sister remains private on the matter.

Washington received five years probation and is registered as a sex offender. Yikes!

Of course Washington feels remorseful about the situation. "I made a mistake at the age of 16, and for that, I am deeply sorry ... I will not try and excuse or justify anything. I have worked extremely hard to do everything right so that I might have an opportunity to give back. I only hope that someone in the NFL will give me the same opportunity that Abilene Christian and Trinity Valley gave me," he said.

Where the hell were the parents?

Howard Stern Takes On Gabourey Sidibe

Howard Stern isn't known for his tact, but he reached a new low Monday after discussing the size of Hollywood's newest ebony fascination, Precious' Gabourey Sidibe, on his Sirius XM satellite radio show.

"There's the most enormous, fat black chick I've ever seen," he said of the Academy Award nominee. "She is enormous. Everyone's pretending she's a part of show business and she's never going to be in another movie." Adding insult to injury, Stern suggested that Hollywood—with its pin-thin standards and limited parts for women of color—is a bunch of smiling faces not ready to produce films featuring the voluptuous Gabourey.

He had special words for Oprah Winfrey, who has been Sidibe's most notable supporter. "Oprah's another liar, a filthy liar. She's telling an enormous woman the size of a planet that she's going to have a career."

Contrary to Stern's beliefs, Sidibe landed a role on Showtime's upcoming The C Word.

Things like this are the reason why Tim Gunn said no thanks to the Kardasian's designing clothes. Fantasia performed at the ultra classy Jackie Robinson Foundation gala in New York on Monday night in this tight Kardasian for Bebe number, made more elegant by her tattoos and lack of footwear.

If there are any producers itching to do a My Fair Lady remake, seems like we've found your Eliza Doolittle.

After two years of dating, season two American Idol finalist Kimberly Locke and VH1's Celebrity Fit Club coach Harvey Walden have parted ways.

"He's not my husband or my boyfriend. We didn't make it," she recently told BV Buzz. The two met in 2007 while filming a season of Celebrity Fit Club in which Locke was a participant.

The couple was featured in the February issue of Ebony magazine in a spread on high profile couples. Guess they spoke too soon. The 32-year-old singer also revealed that she has parted ways with her label, Curb Records. Lord, let's just hope all these changes don't spur that fork to mouth syndrome again.

DMX was arrested earlier today in Arizona for violating his parole. According to tmz.com he used illegal drugs, which is a violation of his parole agreement.

"Her story is a stellar, heart wrecking, powerful, firsthand account of survival and family strength in a chaotic life and the fame that came with that life."

Hopefully she can bail her man out with some of the advance money.

Recording studio owner, Merion Powers claims comedian Kat Williams owes him $28,600, assaulted him, threatened to kill him, and punched him in the face while bodyguards restrained him.

And that's not even the most bizarre part of the story. According to a suit filed in Fulton County court, Powers also claims that Williams allegedly showed up to Powers' studio in October 2009 with his "attack dog." Upon a verbal command from Williams, his dog pounced on a dog owned by Powers, causing an injury to the animal that required veterinary treatment.

When Powers stepped to Williams about the debt and the dog attack Williams allegedly threatened to kill Powers in the hotel room, while his attack dog circled Powers snarling at the him.

During that visit is when Williams' bodyguard allegedly held Powers while the pint-sized comedian punched Powers.

The victim is now suing for $1 million in damages.

This whole scenario sounds unreal. The moral to the story is, Katt needs to stay out of Georgia.

Several rumors were swirling around the net about a possible rematch between Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield. Both boxers are well past their prime but with the drama that occurred in the last fight (ear biting), not to mention the drama that surrounds both of their lives, the rematch would probably draw a lot of public interest.

Unfortunately or fortunately for fight fans, would be Tyson/Holyfield promoter Don King shut down the rumor in an interview with espn.com saying "Maybe it's something I would do for old time's sake if they were interested in the fight, but I ain't doing that at this time. I have not even spoken to Evander Holyfield."

Kind did elude to a possible reunion with Tyson.

Wouldn't that be something? After all the lawsuits and dirty business, Don King and Mike Tyson could possibly do business again.

We thought that Rev. Run's daughter Angela Simmons and Bow Wow were no more, especially since she was running around with Skillz of production duo Play 'N' Skillz. Turns out we might have jumped the gun on Angie's interracial love. She was spotted over the weekend in Jackson, MS alongside ex-boyfriend Bow Wow as he played in a celebrity basketball game.

What's really good with these two?

I am going through some very tough times right now, like I am sure that we all do from time to time," Iverson wrote. "However, I will stand tall like always with 'rhino' thick skin."

AI is one of the true warriors in professional sports and we are rooting for him to overcome his demons

Even with all the money he's making, New York Jets cornerback, Antonio Cromartie still can't seem to keep up his child support payments.

Reports surfaced that the New York Jets are "fronting" Cromartie the money to help out with his paternity issues. Apparently, this dude has, "seven children by six different women in five states and at least five paternity suits in the past two years "and is in desperate need of cash.

Bossip says, "The Jets have stepped up, giving Cromartie $500,000 in up-front money (in the form of a bonus) on the final year of a contract that'll pay him $1.7 million in 2010. During a conference call with beat reporters on Friday, Cromartie spoke of how he had to clear up his paternity issues before he can report to the start of the offseason program on March 22. He has a court date in California later this month."

Even though Cromartie signed a five-year, $12 million contract in 2006, he's broke. Not wearing protection and thinking your invincible will have you messed up!

Year Round Records manager Biggest Gord wrote a blog revealing even more of the shady business surrounding Solar and Guru's family. According to the blog Gord was asked to pick up Justin Elam-Ruff from the airport and take him to see his uncle Guru. What allegedly transpired is stuff soap operas are made of.

"we approached the information desk in the main lobby of the hospital...we were asked "how can i help you gentlemen" by the intake woman at the front desk...Justin replied..."i'm here to visit my uncle keith elam"....the rather nice but professional older woman who asked the first question raised her eyebrow and responded..."lemme check the list".....her first response after checking the first list was..."well your name is not on this list let me check the other list"......she then continued...."oh ok, your name is on this list"...."i'm sorry i cannot allow you to go see the patient"...yeah let that marinate... it seems like there were two lists...one list (the first list she looked at) had the names of people allowed to visit(the patient) .....the other list(the second list she checked) had the names of people who were not allowed to visit(the patient)

and

JUSTIN NICHOLAS ELAM-RUFF's name was on that second list....TRUTH!!

oh soooo many questions......

his attempt to see his uncle at this point in the saga was DENIED!!......FACT!!

I will continue this tale soon....for now......"

According to Peter Rosenberg, Solar is scheduled to call in to he and Cipha Sounds morning show on Hot 97 later this morning.

Has there ever been a farther fall from grace than Suge Knight's. First he got knocked out by Greg the Barber now the IRS wants round two.

According to court documents, a tax lien that was originally filed in 2003 against Suge's 1996 tax return was re-filed in January in the amount of $6,578,696.31.

As HHB reported a few weeks ago, it was revealed in Suge's child support case that he is only making a little over $1200 a month. Needless to say he won't be paying that tax bill anytime soon.

We know that being on a reality show only affords a person so much fame and money but it seems that one of Ray-J's groupies has hit real hard times. According to Mediatakeout, Caviar, the Russian/Egyptian "glamazon" from For the Love of Ray J, has a new job as an escort.

Apparently, like other Americans she's hit hard times. Though we're not sure anyone would go that far as to reduce their selves to being an escort, she charges by the hour. Her prices range from: $350 to $1000.

We're trying to figure out what happened to the "boyfriend" she had while she was on the show, and why hasn't Ray-J stepped up to offer her some assistance.

Guru's producer and friend Solar recently released a statement in response to Justin Nicholas Elam-Ruff's video. As HHB reported on Wednesday, Elam-Ruff levied claims that Solar was preventing the family from seeing Guru.

"I have nothing but the deepest love and respect for The Elam family. But I have not stopped anybody from seeing him! Guru’s brother, sister and niece has visited with him and his brother was here for three days. I am in touch with them on a daily basis. Guru's family dynamic and who he wants to look out for his interests is Guru's business and best left to Guru to discuss. I will state that Guru wanted this matter to be kept private to protect his loved ones and fans from this ordeal, and from it becoming a circus, which it is becoming. Guru has made clear he does not want anything to do with certain people from his past, and for them to be making false statements about his health is unacceptable." The producer continued, "Guru's well being and need to heal is what I am concerned with, and that Guru's wishes in this matter be observed."

Despite all of this foolery, continue to pray for Guru's recovery.

It appears that the truce the DJ Drama mediated between Young Jeezy and Gucci Mane has come to a premature end. Members from both parties' crews were involved in a fight at Walters shoe store in Atlanta, GA yesterday evening.

"There was a physical altercation inside the location between several men," Atlanta Police spokesman James Polite confirmed to the AJC. One of the men produced a weapon "and as a result a private armed security guard of a local entertainer discharged his weapon."

The local entertainer Officer Polite referred to is Waka Flocka Flame. In January, Waka was shot in the arm while washing his car on Old National Highway in an attempted robbery.

Neither Gucci Mane, who is incarcerated in Fulton County jail or Young Jeezy have commented on the incident.
