The mothers of Lil Wayne, T-Pain and Ne-Yo are teaming up to start their own talk show to help uplift women and single mothers.

From Bossip.com

“The women are in the process of producing a pilot to present to major television networks. The three women are set to talk about an array of topics from disorderly conduct in the hip hop world, to domestic issues and hot topics.

Since the women know first hand how to raise children in a difficult environment they will be relatable to many women and single mothers in the world. While their images could use some work, this show may be a pretty good concept.”

A Florida man accuses Cash Money Records CEO Birdman and Lil Wayne of using his voice on recordings without permission, according to a report on Hip Hop Wired.

Thomas Marascuillo is suing the the pair for copyright infringement claiming his voice was used on the albums “Like Father, Like Son” and “5 Star Stunna”

In an effort not to end up like former NFL receiver Plaxico Burress, rapper Lil’ Wayne has taken a plea deal in in a New York Courtroom on Thursday from charges stemming from a gun found on a tour bus by NY police in 2007.

From RollingStone.com

Lil Wayne pleaded guilty to attempted possession of a weapon in the second degree this morning in a New York courtroom; the plea bargain carries a sentence of up to a year in prison. Wayne had previously pleaded not guilty to the charges, which were filed after the NYPD found a .40 caliber handgun on Wayne’s tour bus in July 2007. But after the court ruled that DNA evidence found on the gun would be admissible — evidence obtained by techniques Wayne’s lawyer Stacey Richman has called problematic — Wayne opted to take the plea bargain, AllHipHop reports. If Wayne was found guilty following the trial, which was set for January 2010, the charges carried a three-and-a-half year sentence.

Lil Wayne is also facing felony drugs and weapon charges in Arizona for having marijuana, cocaine and loaded guns on a tour bus.

As the world’s love affair with high-tech gadgets spreads like wildfire, it’s not enough to own the most advanced tech, they have to look good too. Shiny, glossy, matte finishes, eye-catching technical wonders of the world, it’s a constant arms race to have the best and prettiest tech. And with all arms races, he with the deepest pockets has the biggest guns. Which is why some of the best tech is in the hands of the rich and famous. What sets celebrity tech apart from the tech of mere mortals? Bling and plenty of it – from gold-plating to Swarovski crystals and even diamonds, celebrity devices are in a class all by themselves.

Case in point, a gold plated Macbook owned by Chris Brown, or Pharrell Williams, the once proud owner of a gold-plated Blackberry that switched it up to a gold-plated iPhone. Alicia Keys is also crazy about blinged out tech, rocking a 24k  gold-plated Nokia E71. Even Sasha Fierce alter-ego Beyonce is rocking a Nokia 8800 Sirocco Gold.

So where does all that floss-worthy tech come from? Some of it comes from the cell phone companies. Nokia, Samsung and Sony Ericcson are some of the better known phone manufacturers pushing luxury tech. Ericcson recently teamed up fashion designer Dolce&Gabbana to create the Jalou by D&G, a luxe cell phone set to hit stores by the end of this year. Motorola actually literally covered one of their phones in ice. But if you’re looking for something truly exclusive, check out Mobiado, Vertu, Gresso, and Goldvish that are the proud makers of a cell worth a cool million dollars.

For iced out laptops, you have to do a little more legwork. Since it isn’t in computer manufacturers’ best interest to make gold plated units, so those desiring a Midas makeover need to find someone that specializes in doing custom platings. Pharrell has been getting his tech upgraded by the Hip-Hop jeweler, Jacob the Jeweler. And if you want to pimp your laptop, check out Computer Choppers, the company responsible for Chris Brown’s ridiculously ostentatious Macbook. Goldstriker International is also a good place to bling out your phone since they are the mastermind behind Keys’ Nokia.

It seems a little crazy to spend thousands of dollars to give gadgets that were already hott in both looks and tech, but like Lil Wayne says, “It ain’t trickin’ if you got it.”
