Log on to youtube or rhonafox official site to see Richie Spices new video for “Di Plane Land”. Basically this song talks about the issue that Caribbean immigrants face when they literally get of the plane.
This track is off his new album, Gideon Boot, set for release on May 13. And this song is his first single.
The video saw cameos from The New Kingston Band, reggae artist and Spice's brother Snatcha Lion, model Valentine Baker, and noted publicist Raine Martin.
I dont know what I was expecting but this video did not blow me away. It was idunno, just too basic, and some parts of it we just too much like Gyptian's I can Feel Your Pain Video...I dont know if that caught my eye because the same person directed both videos or what. But hey still support Richie Spice he is a wicked artist. And I did love that his hair was unwrapped. So sexxyy!

More than eight months after beginning a 12-month prison sentence at the Rose Singer Center for women at Rikers Island in New York, Foxy Brown is a free woman. Police were present as the rap diva (born Inga Marchand) was released Friday (April 18) around 11:55 am. As soon as she was released from prison, she changed outfits and was greeted by her mother Judith Marchand and lawyer New York City Councilman Charles Barron, as well as hundreds of reporters and fans, some with posters and pink balloons, others with "Free Foxy Brown" T-shirts. Brown’s entourage arrived in a fleet of luxury vehicles that included three Rolls Royce’s, a number of SUV’s and a Maybach, that was filled with clothes. Her family, friends, managers and a hair stylist and makeup artist were all part of the group of people that greeted Brown. Brown’s release concludes months of legal ups and downs for the rapper, who was sentenced to serve time at Rikers on Sept. 8 for violating the terms of her 2004 probation by taking a trip to Florida from New York without court permission.

We here at The Lime extend our deepest condolences to the Marleys and their extended family. Affectionately known as mother B, she gained acclaim as a performer, recording two albums Awake Zion in 1991 and Smilin Island of Song, a collection of songs for children the following year.
She was also a published author writing two books about Bob. Bob Marley: An Intimate Portrait By his Mother, in 1997 and 2003's Bob Marley:My Son. She frequently perfomed with her grandsons Ky-Mani, Ziggy, Stephen, Damian and Julian. Again our condolences to the family of Mother B.
Sidenote: I searched on cnn and headline news for her name and story on her death and found NOTHING...I really hope is me.....but its just sad that the mother of someone who contributed (and still continues) so much to enrich the lives of millions should not be given her due...NE Ways nuff respek Mother B.

A publicist for the supermodel said she hoped the dispute with BA would be "resolved amicably".
A spokesman for the airline said they do not give detailed comment about individual passengers.
Campbell, 37, was arrested on suspicion of assaulting a police officer and later released on bail after being removed from the flight to Los Angeles.

It is not the first time Campbell has been in trouble with the law.
She spent five days mopping floors as part of a community service sentence in New York last year after throwing a mobile phone at her housekeeper during an argument over a pair of jeans. She was also ordered to attend anger management classes.

Naomi Campbell again is in the spotlight and of course its for her temper. Apparently her luggae was lost , misplaced, whatever at London's Heathrow Airport. She was to board a straight flight to LA where she would be a guest on Jay Leno's Tonight Show. It seems her outfit for the show was in the missing luggage. From all reports she threw a fit , yelling and just acting hysterical even telling the crew "I am Naomi Campbell" (no...really?)....She have every right to be upset that her luggage is lost , rah,rah,rah but at the end of the day she needs to show some class and get a grip.
