Keshia Knight Pulliam made $20k PER EPISODE to star on “House of Payne” this season … and then fired the agents who put the deal together … this according to a new lawsuit.

She is being sued by Greene & Associates Talent Agency … which claims it signed Keshia back in 2007 and immediately got her a lead role on the Tyler Perry TV show as Miranda Payne.

G&A claims it she got between $7,500 to $20k per episode … including $20k per episode for all of the 2011-12 season.

But not good enough for Keshia … because according to the suit, she fired G&A back in July.

There’s just one BIG problem … G&A claims Keshia never forked over a single cent in commission from the ‘Payne’ deal … and several other shows it worked on for her.

Late last year, Odd Future frontman Tyler, the Creator was arrested for vandalizing the Roxy in Hollywood during a show.

Now the OFWGKTA rapper is making amends by paying about $8,000 to cover the damages he caused at the venue.

Besides paying for the costs incurred after he started hurling chairs offstage, wrecking a soundboard and nearly causing a riot, Tyler will also be paying the West Hollywood Sheriff’s department back for the cost of the investigation. Not a bad deal considering if he does so, the District Attorney will not file any criminal charges against him.

Mike Epps’ 18-year-old daughter Bria claims her father threatened her with psychical abuse. The dispute started because she had disclosed to the public a family matter that Epps wanted to keep private. The actor/ comedian then proceeded to threaten her physical well being. Hip Hop Wired reports that representatives of Mike Epps say that the allegations made by Bria are false.

Actor and funnyman Mike Epps is embroiled in a potentially nasty feud with his 18-year-old daughter, Bria. According to his daughter’s account, Mike Epps threatened bodily harm to his child after she threatened to put some unfavorable family happenings out into the public.

TMZ nabbed an exclusive interview with Bria Epps, in which she says Mike threatened to “f*ck her up,” although Epps has declared his daughter’s claims false. Tensions mounted between father and daughter after Mike appeared on the Wendy Williams Show and mentioned two of his children, to which Bria took offense, for not being named.

Bria reportedly confronted her father and an argument ensued. Bria then said she would “air some family drama” to the media, pushing Mike into a rage where be made the alleged threats. However, sources close to the comedian say his daughter asked her dad for an unnamed sum of money for college that he refused to give her. Mike opted to pay for the courses to the school directly, which was said to have angered Bria.

LOS ANGELES – R&B singer Chris Brown will release his fifth studio album titled “Fortune” in May, record label RCA said on Thursday, following on from Brown’s recent Grammy comeback performance and award win.

“I hope this album shows growth and positivity to all my fans and will inspire them to live life to the fullest!!!” Brown posted on his Twitter this week about the upcoming May 8 album release.

“Fortune” will follow on from Brown’s fourth album “F.A.M.E,” which was released in March 2011, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart and spawned hits such as “Look At Me Now” and “Yeah 3x.” Brown also picked up the Grammy award for best R&B album last month.

The singer, 22, has been attempting to rework his tarnished image after he was arrested and pleaded guilty to beating ex-girlfriend Rihanna in February 2009. Brown was sentenced to five-year probation, which he is currently mid-way through serving.

After publicly apologizing and being invited back to the Grammys this year to perform, Brown was on his way to redeeming himself, but his Grammy win had fans and critics split, which led to Brown retaliating on Twitter.

Adding further speculation, the singer musically reconciled with Rihanna last month, as the songstress added her vocals on a remix of Brown’s new uptempo dance song “Turn Up The Music” while Brown lent his voice to Rihanna’s sexually-charged song “Birthday Cake.”

The collaboration sparked criticism, with many online fans fearing Brown was being forgiven too easily for his assault three years ago.

But the singer still has the support of many fans, as the music video for “Turn Up The Music,” the lead single from “Fortune,” amassed more than 8 million views since its release on February 17.

The new album “Fortune” will be released in two editions, standard and deluxe, with the latter featuring additional songs and a collectable cover.

No Arrest Warrant Yet In Chris Brown Probe

Miami officials said on Friday reports of an arrest warrant issued for R&B singer Chris Brown are inaccurate, although the singer is still a suspect in the alleged theft of a mobile phone earlier this week.

Brown, 22, who won a Grammy award earlier this month, is midway through a five-year probation after pleading guilty to criminal assault for beating ex-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009. If arrested again, Brown risks being jailed for probation violation.

In a report filed with Miami Beach Police Department on Sunday, 24-year-old Christal Spann, a resident of Miami, named Brown as a suspect in a “robbery by sudden snatching.”

The report cites Spann’s claim that Brown, who was in a black Bentley automobile, reached through an open window and snatched Spann’s iPhone out of her hand as she tried to snap a picture of him, saying “you ain’t going to put that on no website,” before driving off with the phone.

The incident is still under investigation by the Miami Beach police, and a spokeswoman at the Miami-Dade County state attorney’s office said on Friday that reports of an arrest warrant issued for Brown were inaccurate at this time.

Representatives for Brown did not immediately return calls for comment.

The funeral home where Whitney Houston’s body was kept last week is denying they leaked a photo of the Grammy Award-winning singer in her casket, but says they know who did.

During a press conference Thursday in Newark, New Jersey, the owner of the funeral home denied selling a photo of Houston to the National Enquirer.

Carolyn Whigham, owner of Whigham Funeral Home, defended her staff and said that there were only 3 people from the funeral home who had access to Houston’s body and none of them took the photo.

“My staff, my secretaries, my drivers, never were exposed to any area that she was in. Whitney was always on the lower level under lock and key. Security being provided by ‘Nippy Inc.’ not my security,” Whigham said.

“I had people that I had never seen in my life, who were part of her security, sleeping here in my funeral home.”

Whigham said the funeral home’s investigation revealed that the picture was taken on February 17, a day before services for Houston. Although she knows who took the photo, she would not identify the person.

The 48-year-old Houston died Feb. 11 in California. Her body was at Whigham funeral home for five days.

Although the Houston family has closed its inquiry into who leaked the photo, Whigham said she is considering taking legal action to clear her name.

According to their Twitter accounts, model and Master of the Mix host Amber Rose and her boyfriend, rapper Wiz Khalifa are officially engaged.

Khalifa’s Twitter timeline exploded after he posted a photo of Amber Rose’s hand with an engagement ring on it with an accompanying tweet which read “She Said Yes!!”. Amber Rose then tweeted saying “He has made me the Happiest Woman in the World!!!!”

A former video vixen, Rose is best known for being in a high profile relationship with rapper Kanye West from 2008 to summer 2010. She began dating Wiz Khalifa in 2011.

Do you think this couple will last or go the way of Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian?

More than two years have past since the Chris Brown-Rihanna incident.

Though Brown and Rihanna are collaborating on songs now and are reportedly spending more time together, the court of public opinion doesn’t seem quite ready to forgive him just yet. And, from all indicators, forgiveness appears to the farthest thing from people’s minds when thinking of Brown. Is it that people are being too hard on him or are critics justified in their belief that he has not truly changed?

Experts cautioned that Rihanna, 24, should look for warning signs — if Brown, 22, becomes controlling, jealous or aggressive toward her, verbally or physically.

Rita Smith, executive director of National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, said she didn’t believe Brown seemed that reformed, judging by his reaction to fan criticism and media scrutiny of his performance at the Grammys.

Police in Miami are looking to speak with Rick Ross regarding a murder that took place outside of his home.

The Maybach Music Group head is not implicated as a suspect in the death of the 40-year-old man, whose identity has not been released.

Sources say that Ross wasn’t even at his Miami Gardens home at the time of the shooting, but that the victim’s body was found inside the gate. Authorities are unsure whether or not the dead man had any ties to Ross, but nonetheless, cops are still interested in questioning him on the matter.
