R. Kelly Boots Ne-Yo from Tour
More drama unfolds with R. Kelly as R&B singer Ne-Yo was suddenly removed from Kelly's latest tour. Kelly's camp cited the lack of a signed contract as the reason for Ne-Yo getting dumped.
Ne-Yo's camp issued a press release about the incident earlier this week, saying Ne-Yo "expressed genuine concern regarding not having the opportunity to complete the tour."
Kelly has been known to have tour trouble. In 2004, he and Jay-Z's conjoined tour came to a halt after Kelly was blasted with pepper spray by a member of Jay-Z's entourage. Jay later said that R. Kelly was a weepy, emotional wreck, prone to crying fits during the duration of their tour. Just recently, Kelly's longtime publicist resigned, citing serious "lines being crossed" as the cause of the split. Somebody is a straight-up diva -- and it ain't Ne-Yo!

Kate Does a Bad Bump in New York
Kate Moss has never held back her paparazzi-directed fire, calling them "mentally retarded," and "sick in the head." Last Friday, one idiot snapper proved her right.
As Kate left Marc Jacobs' SoHo boutique, she and new guy Jamie Hince walked right into a pap swarm -- where one careless cameraman accidentally thwacked her hard on her million-dollar face with his flash attachment, causing the waif supermodel to let loose with a Brit-inflected stream of invective.
The clumsy lensman didn't apologize for the pap faux-pas. No charges have yet been filed by Moss.
To Catch a Punk
Fights in the parking lot outside Les Deux and Element are becoming commonplace, but the full-out brawl that went on this weekend left one clubgoer unconscious.
Several men were throwing punches in the streets Sunday morning, but one guy -- who was earlier playing the role of peacemaker -- got the worst of it. In the video, he can be seen being kicked in the head by two men, then falling face first into asphalt. He was unconscious for several minutes, but was later seen up and talking with his friends.
If you've seen either of the two men below, call the Los Angeles Police Department -- they deserve it.
