Janice Dickinson I Never Took a Penny In Cosby Interviews

Dickinson says she did the interview "to stand in solidarity with the dozens of other women who had the same experience I did, being sexually assaulted by Bill Cosby."

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ the Nye County Sheriff's Department will send Lamar's blood test to the District Attorney on Tuesday. The felony charge would be for using cocaine while at the Love Ranch South.

Romeo I'm No Money Mule for Master P

Published | Updated

Romeo's record company is no shell company for his dad Master P to hide millions ... and he's got receipts to prove it to his mother -- who dragged him into her divorce war.

A source close to Romeo tells us the rapper insists No Limit Forever is more his deal, and less about his father. He's saying he founded the label, and all the money in its bank account is his.

Master P and his estranged wife, Sonya Miller, started No Limit Records in the '90s -- and she's fighting for a cut of that fortune, but claims Master P is hiding cash in their son's similarly named label.

We're told Romeo is upset his mother sued him, and put him smack in the middle of the divorce ... but he has a paper trail to prove her wrong in court, when and if it becomes necessary.

Lamar Odom Blood Test Results ... Positive for Cocaine

Published | Updated

Law enforcement sources tell us the Nye County Sheriff's Department received the results of the blood that was drawn at the hospital in Las Vegas ... and we're told it showed cocaine was indeed in Odom's system when he was admitted.

As we've reported ... Sheriff Sharon Wehrly said if there was cocaine in his blood it was "distinctly possible" he would be prosecuted for drugs.

Good news for Lamar ... even if he's prosecuted he won't do time. Although cocaine use carries a 1 - 4 year prison sentence in Nevada, first time offenders routinely get drug diversion ... when they complete the drug ed course, the charges are dismissed.

Jas Prince Finally Scores Drake Royalties ... Settles Birdman Lawsuit

Published | Updated

12:15 PM PT -- There's NO deal! Sources with direct knowledge tell us although Jas filed the docs saying he's very close to a settlement agreement with Aspire ... there's no deal signed yet. More importantly, we're told no checks have been signed yet either.

Stay tuned.

Birdman might have one less lawsuit on his hands -- the war over Drake's millions upon millions in royalties is one step closer to being settled ... and Drake's pal Jas Prince is finally getting paid.

As TMZ first reported ... Jas Prince sued Cash Money Records and Aspire Music Group for unpaid royalties on all Drake's catalog of hit songs. Jas hooked up Drake with Birdman and Lil Wayne, in the first place -- and said part of the deal was he would get a chunk of Drake's royalties.

According to new docs filed last week ... Jas says he's reached a settlement with Aspire which will resolve all the financial issues. So, sounds like Cash Money is off the hook. The settlement was first reported by the Jasmine Brand.

The exact amount of the settlement remains under wraps, but in earlier docs Jas put the amount he was owed at $11 mil -- so it's a good bet he's getting a fat check.

Back in February, Jas told us he's through talking until he gets his money.

Beyonce Lawsuit Tossed ... She Just Wasn't Horny Enough

Published | Updated

Beyonce just won a victory in court -- her song "XO" was not a rip-off of a song called, "XOXO" -- and one of the main reasons is, for once, Bey wasn't raunchy or sexy enough ... according to a judge, anyway.

A federal judge threw out the lawsuit a singer named Ahmad Javon Lane had filed against Beyonce -- accusing her of copying his tune, "XOXO." The judge said the songs were not the least bit similar musically or lyrically ... and beyond that he said the themes were also different.

He points out Lane's song is raw and raunchy with "explicitly sexual" lyrics ... such as describing himself as "horny" and loving every inch of someone.

On the other hand, the judge said Beyonce's "XO" is more tame and filled with romantic metaphors.

Case closed.
