Peep Mos Def and his estranged wife Alana Wyatt during happier times. Now the former stripper is writing a tell-all which implicates him as a wife beater.  She said she filed for divorce in October following what she claimed was a loud argument that got out of control. “I don’t believe that his intent was to hurt me, I believe that he was trying to prove a point,” she said. “But I had shared and cried with him many nights about my past (abusive) situation and I asked of him not to do that [abuse her]. Wyatt-Smith said she didn’t press charges because she didn’t “want to cause problems” in the hopes that his outburst was “a first and last.” She said there were several attempts at reconciliation, but that Mos Def, who has six children with four different women, has a demanding though not abusive demeanor that she found difficult to abide. They have not been together since October 2006, but despite a $115,000 financial settlement are not officially divorced. “He won’t sign the papers,” she said. “He told my lawyer if he can’t have me, nobody else will.”

There’s a new reality shown in England called “Britain’s Missing Top Model” featuring young women with disabilities competing in a beauty contest. It will air on BBC Three and includes women in the 18-30 range, one of whom is partially paralyzed, one deaf and several limbless.

Among the eight lovely ladies who will duke it out onscreen are women without limbs, some who are partially paralyzed and one who is deaf.The series, which debuts on BBC in July, reportedly aims to challenge the standard of beauty in the fashion industry.“I went into this program thinking it was an adventure, rather than a path to a new career,” contestant Jessica Kellgren-Hayes, who often uses a wheelchair to get around, told Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper. “Although I don’t want any of my dreams to be unattainable, I’m not sure if Britain is ready for a model with a disability.”U.K. Marie Claire editor Marie O’Riordan, who serves as a judge for “Missing Top Model,” says she has high hopes for the show: “I do believe the program could help challenge our attitudes to disability. I want to see the winner shake up the fashion industry. These young women shouldn’t be invisible to the fashion world just because they are disabled.” How do yall feel about this would you watch this show hit me with a comment.

Lil Wayne is being sued by businessman LeMarck de Andre for defaulting on payments for his 1999 Bentley Arnage: “My direct observation and experience with Dwayne M. Carter’s financial and personal irresponsibility over the years has taught and demonstrated to me that he has become the new symbol of financial illiteracy and slavery in the 21st century. For a little over 5 years, I have been involved with…Dwayne M. Carter’s high-level of financial illiteracy, lack of liquidity, leveraged acquisition liability accumulation and below zero net-worth; as well as lack of business communication, character, and integrity- all learned behaviors- and the primary reasons for non-payment. Unless and until [he] transforms his personal, business, and financial attitude and adopts new behaviors, these unfortunate behavioral components will equate to future lawsuits, defaults, repossessions, foreclosures, and the making of a great candidate for bankruptcy. Oh my that is hella big words but basically what he is sayin is that weezy is a dumb **** when it comes to his $$$$ and he would want 2 straighten up and fly right before he goes broke.

R. Kelly will not be testifying in his own defense at his child pornography trial in Chicago.  The artist spoke for the first time in court Tuesday when Judge Vincent Gaughan informed him of his right not to testify.  According to the Associated Press, the Grammy-winning singer leaned forward at the defense table with his hands folded and responded: "I decided not to testify." The jury was not present at the time.  Kelly, 41, has pleaded not guilty to charges that he videotaped himself having sex with an underage girl. Both Kelly and the alleged victim, now 23, have denied being on the tape. Also Tuesday, the judge ruled that jurors are allowed to view the sex tape once they begin deliberations. Kelly's lawyers had asked the judge to bar jurors from reviewing the graphic video, saying they worried jurors would overemphasize one piece of evidence. But prosecutors argued the tape is the primary subject of the trial and couldn't be kept from jurors.  Closing arguments are likely to be delivered Thursday.
