It's My Party (maybe not): Chris Brown May Not Find B-Day Venue (Virginia)
Chris Brown is reportedly facing problem in finding a suitable venue to celebrate his 21st birthday.
According to sources, Brown has been looking for places like clubs in New York, Miami and Las Vegas.
However, all venue holders and promoters are apparently afraid to book their place for the singer, as they don’t want to spoil their ‘potential’ relationship with Brown’s ex-girlfriend Rihanna.
"They don't want to mess up their relationship, or their potential relationship, with Rihanna," the New York Post quoted a source as saying.
Brown is now said to be looking for private homes or restaurants in Manhattan.

Police Looking For Louisiana Man Who Has Been Knowingly Spreading HIV To Women For Almost FIFTEEN YEARS!!! (Louisiana & Texas)
SMH. Be on the lookout for this evil a*s muhfugga… Police say he’s allegedly been spreading HIV as far back as 1996. Pop the hood for more details.
Shreveport Police are looking for a man they say may have knowingly spread the HIV virus to an unknown number of people.
Detectives have an arrest warrant out for 36-year-old Quacy L. Francis for knowingly exposing people to the HIV virus. Police say his potential victims could date back as far as 1996.
Shreveport Detectives want anyone who may have been exposed or knows someone who may have been exposed to Francis to contact the detectives office at 673-6955.
Quacy Francis has gone by several alias throughout the years including: Quacy Frances, Lekelvin Francis, Quacie Francis, Terry Johnson, Dion Scott, and Eric Scott.
Anyone who contacts the police regarding their possible exposure, should rest assured that the police department will protect their confidentially and are only seeking information to aid in the prosecution of Francis.
One of our faithful BOSSIP readers wrote in to tell us about Quacy as well. They say there is nothing alleged about this story — Francis has knowingly been spreading the HIV virus since 1996, when he discovered he was HIV positive after impregnating a young woman with his 3rd child. Since then he has allegedly fathered at least 8 children by 8 different women in both Louisiana and Texas. His family (mom and 2 sisters) allegedly also knew about him spreading the disease and said/did nothing! According to our source he even gave it to his younger sister’s best friend!
This evil a*s muhfugga needs to be on the first available express train to HELL! SMH!

Teen Arrested For Waka Flocka Concert Shooting (Georgia)
An Indiana teenager has been arrested and charged as a prime suspect in the shooting that took place following a Waka Flocka Flame concert in Gary, Indiana on March 5.
17-year-old Devontius Hutcherson is being charged for his role in the late night shooting, where eight teenage boys were wounded. Victims described a man wearing a red hat over dreadlocks that opened fire on a crowd of approximately 200 teens in the parking lot of the World of Skates rink in Gary. Eight victims -- who ranged in age from 14 to 18 -- were treated for non life-threatening gunshot wounds to the legs, stomach, wrist and back. Police officials have allegedly confiscated the weapon that was fired outside the skating rink and have explained that Hutcherson will face multiple felony charges from a prior shooting incident as well.
Hutcherson is being investigated for shooting and killing a 22-year-old man and wounding another, after they refused to provide him with $5 to attend a concert on Jan 19. He reportedly robbed both victims before shooting them. Hutcherson is currently being held without bail while police investigate all current

Lloyd Signs W/ Interscope Records (Georgia)
Former Murder Inc. recording artist Lloyd has opted out of a possible Young Money record deal and signed a contract with Interscope Records.
According to the singer, Cash Money/Young Money were the initial front runners.
"Baby and Wayne were definitely the first people to reach out to me," he revealed in an interview. "I talked to them about a deal. That's who I thought I'd end up with in my heart. The problem is that Young Money/Cash Money is exclusive to Universal Motown. As you and I know, that's where I did my last two albums. I wasn't excited about going back. I tried to do a Young Money/Cash Money deal through another distributor, but it couldn't be done. At the end of the day, I'm still family, though." (MTV)
Last December, Lloyd killed rumors that he was already signed to Young Money.
"A lot of people think I'm already signed over there, but the truth is that I'm still a free agent and I haven't signed with Young Money/Cash Money," he said in an interview. "I don't want to get into specifics, but I have been talking to them and to some other labels. It's an important decision and we're not gonna rush it. We're both working, but not on anything specifically together. He has The Rebirth and The Carter 4, and I'm working on my new album and a couple mixtapes. There were rumors about us doing a project together a few years back, but that was just wishful thinking by the fans." (New Lil Wayne)
The singer addressed rumors of leaving Murder Inc. for Wayne's Young Money last year.
"I think that's the question on everyone's mind," Lloyd said about the possibility of signing to Young Money. "No, I wasn't offered a deal, uhm, if anything I think about it because I'm big fans of their work and we all good friends. We've worked [together on songs] a lot in the past, you know, we broke bread together and I think a lot of fans would probably want to see that happen. I just wanna win, I just wanna be successful. I think wherever I go, I'm gonna be successful." ("Jenny Boom Boom TV")
Lloyd said his recent collaborations with Wayne and Drake have helped him keep his name relevant.
"I mean, it's not hard, you just gotta work," Lloyd explained in an interview. "The way I stay relevant is to make more music. There's so many different avenues to get music out now that it's pretty rare for you to make a song and not be heard one way or another and by working with other artists, that plays a big part. So when I'm not on the scene or I'm going through label problems and you give me a Drake mixtape, it kinda reminds you of who I am." (Rolling Out TV)

Part 2
Part 3
Auto-Tune king T-Pain has produced an animated homage to 1990's Atlanta Spring Break fiesta Freaknik, which is scheduled to air on the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim on March 7.

Saturday Night Live comedians Andy Samberg and Bill Hader also round out the bill. T-Pain also voices "a party ghost."

Timbaland to Cameo in FlashForward Episode (Virginia)
Well-known rapper and record producer Timbaland -- also known as Tim Mosley (to the IRS and to his mom) -- is making his prime time TV debut.
Though the prolific artist has had his music showcased on several series -- including "The Wire," "Gilmore Girls," "Entourage" and "So You Think You Can Dance" -- he hasn't done much acting. But that could be changing as reliable sources tell me Timbaland will cameo in the second "FlashForward" episode to air this year.
Word is, the cameo is very quick. Like Seth MacFarlane quick. But you will see Timbaland... if you're watching out for him.
So what do you think? Should Timbaland try his hand at a new career?
"FlashForward" returns Thursday, Mar. 18th at 8 p.m. on ABC

CORE MODEL RANISE "THE CHAMP" (MISSISSIPPI)
1. How and when did you start modeling?
I actually started modeling between the ages of 9-10. My grandfather was and still is a professional photographer, which led me to participate in local shows, casting, events, etc.
2. Do you feel that the fashion/ modeling industry is competitive?
I feel it is competitive if you allow it to be. Of course, there is competition when applying/submitting for certain projects. In my eyes, there is plenty of opportunity to go around, it just depends on what you want to do, how fast, and what you are going to do to invest in it. The more you invest in yourself, the more people see that and the more opportunity you have. There is so many talented and beautiful models of all types in the world, you just have to find your place, constantly evolve with self confidence and make your mark.
3. How do you spend your time when you're not in front of the camera?
At my 8-430 job, which takes up most of my day during the week..lol..spending time with my son, other fam,friends, and working on the many other interest and hobbies I have such as promoting, managing, and writing.
4. Are you signed with an agency? If not, is that a goal?
If the right agency came along then that would be a good move I would definitely take advantage of, but I wouldn't say that is a main "goal" right now. I am a CORE model and a member of the Lady Dolla Dolls.
5. Have you always wanted to model?
If you know me, you wouldnt think so, because I am actually shy until I get to know you, not as much as I use to be though. So, it actually is something that was always an interest in the back of my mind, being exposed to it at an early age, but it really became a passion that I was "AWARE" I had in 2005. Guess I picked up where my grandfather was going with things. :)
6. Which photographer do you dream about working with in the future?
DAVID LACHAPELLE! That man is awesome!
7. Describe a shoot that you had the most fun working on.
Every shoot I've done so far and mainly because they have all been learning experiences. It's exciting to see how far I have come and how much further I can get as long as I keep at it. All my shoots with Leroy Dickson are fun though, he has been my main photog since Nov '08, also my shoot with David Hill of Visual Cocktails in New Orleans, he's a fun photog and very knowledgable.
8. What beauty product can you not be without?
Cocoa Butter! Yay!! I know-Simple...what can I say!
9. Who are some of your favorite designers?
Bargains...lol...but I love Dolce Vita, BCBG, BeBe...I imagine when I can get into other real designers, I will have more of an opinion on that. Hell, one day it might be me as my fav designer :)
10. What piece of advice can you give to those young women trying to be in the fashion/modeling industry?
Give yourself time, you really cant be a professional or popular model overnight just cus you have a beautiful face or body;ultimately you have to do more than just stand there and look...Modeling is an ART, so find out what type of asset you are trying to be and expand your mind to exceed those expectations. Don't limit yourself but respect yourself and do whats comfortable for you. Don't let the next person determine your next move, let them motivate it. Always remember a close mouth doesnt get fed, you must INVEST IN YOURSELF if you want somebody else to!
