Apparently, Dawn and her husband, Dre, are trying to shop a reality show. The clip shows everything from rat and roach infestation in their house to Dre selling CDs for gas money! What happened to all that En Vogue/Lucy Pearl money?

Sniper Apologizes to Victim's Daughter
Cheryll Witz was shopping for a birthday cake at Costco in Tuscon, Ariz. when she received a call on her cell phone from Lee Boyd Malvo, the man serving a life sentence for killing her father in a murder spree five years ago, reports the Associated Press.
"I need to apologize for what I've done to you and your family," Malvo told her during the call, which took place on Sept. 20.
In March 2002, the then 17-year-old Malvo shot and killed Witz's father, Jerry Taylor, as he practiced chip shots on a golf-course practice green.
Witz said Malvo broke down at times during the conversation.
"The first thing he said was, 'I tried to write a letter to you but I couldn't. I didn't know what to say,"' Witz told AP.
In the past, Witz has attempted to learn more details about her father's death, and even wrote to Malvo in prison urging him to divulge what he knew. For personal reasons, she was unwilling to discuss all the details of the call, particularly those surrounding the exact circumstances of her father's shooting.
Taylor's murder preceded the killing spree that terrorized the Washington, D.C., area, in which the teenage Malvo and partner John Allen Muhammad killed 10 people and wounded three others over a three-week span that began Oct. 2, 2002.
"I was standing in the Costco bawling my eyes out," Witz said of the phone call, which was placed to her through a third party. Malvo had initially called a producer at ABC News, who then used three-way calling to connect Malvo to Witz after she agreed to take the call.
According to Virginia Department of Corrections spokesman Larry Traylor, such three-way calling violates rules of the prison. He would not comment on Malvo's specific phone calls or whether he has called any other victims. A network spokesperson said the producer was unaware that three-way calls were prohibited, and would not have connected the two had she known of the rule.
Witz's feelings toward Malvo remain conflicted. She is still angry but said it was important to her to hear his apology directly. She hopes Malvo will follow through on a promise he made during the call to write to her.
"I told him that I was glad he didn't get the death penalty. I told him, 'You need to think about what you've done,"' Witz said. "He said, 'The Lee then and Lee now are two different people.'" (source)

Nigerian Scammers Extradiated to U.S.
I get tons of e-mails every day telling me that somehow I have been selected to receive millions of dollars. Some of them say that they were sent to me by God while others say they inherited money and need me to get it out of the country for them. Whatever the reason, I immediately know it is a crock of bull. But hundreds of thousands of people fall for this scam. They are sent checks that they cash into their own bank accounts, and then send a portion back to the sender. Days later the check bounces leaving the recipient stuck holding the bag! Well, it looks like the government and the postal service have cracked down with "Operation Dutch," and some of the perpetrators have been arrested! Finally...Read on:
The e-mails arrive out of the blue, from Nigeria or other exotic countries. They tell of inheritances, political problems, other reasons someone needs to get money out of the country. If you help, they promise to let you share the money.
Unfortunately, thousands of people fall for the scam, losing an average of $3,000 to $4,000 each.
So far this year, an average of more than 800 people a month have filed complaints about such scams.
Hoping to stem the losses, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service announced an international crackdown Wednesday in which more than 540,000 fake checks with a face value of $2.1 billion have been seized.
There have been 60 arrests in the Netherlands, 16 in Nigeria and one in Canada, the Postal Inspection Service said, and the effort is continuing.
"There is no room in the mail for any of these phony come-ons," Postmaster General John Potter said.
Most of the cons start with e-mails telling of an inheritance or lottery win and ask the victim to help bring the money to the United States. The victim is asked to cash a check that comes in the mail and to send part of the money back to the person sending it, said Greg Campbell, inspector in charge of global security and investigations for the Postal Inspection Service.
Then that person disappears with the money and the original check bounces, leaving the victim with a loss.
Retired people have lost their nest eggs and young families have been defrauded of their savings for a home, Potter said.
Many of the cases originate in the Netherlands, where West African con artists operate from Internet cafes, said Johan Van Hartskamp, commissioner of the Amsterdam police.
In what he called "Operation Dutch Treat," police have arrested 60 people there, with three extradited to the United States and four more facing extradition. The rest are being prosecuted in the Netherlands, he said.
Ibrahim Lamorde, director of the Nigerian Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, said the problem is monumental and "will only be surmounted through global efforts."
U.S. Assistant Attorney General Alice Fisher said: "There is no lottery. There is no inheritance. The checks are not real. But there are real victims. The crime knows no borders, and our coordinated law enforcement knows no borders." (source)

Karrine "Superhead" Steffans Outs Tigger and Ray J
By Darcel
Well, Superhead made an appearance on the Jamie Foxx radio show to talk about, of course, her many sexual encounters. She basically calls Tigger out at about the one hour mark, but Tigger calls in to discredit her latest attempt to stay relevant. She also says Ray J is gay. It amazes me, just last week she was on some radio show trying to act like she had class, refusing to answer questions, etc. On this show, she basically reconfirms what everyone already knows.
