2. Timbaland denies suicide attempt claims!
Timbaland has denied reports that he was contemplating suicide after a $2m (£1.2m) watch was stolen from his Malibu home. According to TMZ, the producer was said to be "deeply upset" about the theft, worrying family members and causing them to call the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department who put out a bulletin for a "possible suicide attempt". However, he insisted that there was no reason for his family to worry as he was not in danger at any time. He added, during a conversation with Ryan Seacrest for Kiss FM radio: "Now why would I commit suicide? I could buy what was stolen." That’s good news, it would have been tragic if the story were true.
3. Kimora Lee Simmons ditched from Baby Phat?!
According to reports, days after Kimora released a statement explaining her departure from Baby Phat, the clothing company she founded with ex-husband Russell Simmons, it has now surfaced that she was in fact fired! Sources said Simmons is mulling a possible lawsuit against owner Kellwood. “She was blindsided that Kellwood fired everyone,” said one. But another Baby Phat insider said it could have been a way to slash costs: “Kimora was going over-budget. She’d pay herself a fee to be in the ads, plus she paid her children fees to appear in ads. It costs thousands of dollars to airbrush her because she’s a size 10. Plus, they spent a ton of money on body doubles. They would shoot another model in the clothes, and take Kimora’s head and put in on her body.” Kellwood had no comment. Such a shame, Kimora damn near made Baby Phat what it is today but, we’re sure she’ll move on to bigger and better things!
4. Jaden Smith to join Bieber for a concert at Madison Square Gardens!

Sean Kingston and Jessica Jarrel are also expected to attend the show.
