Tameka Foster Raymond - HipHossip.com

I just sent you the six required items for the DMCA. I'm looking at the image on her website right now and even attached a screen shot. http://www.hiphossip.com/2009/10/open-letter-to-tameka-tameka-vs.html

Melody Adams.

Godaddy had to bring my site down for 10 days so I can get my day in server court. I filed a countercopyright claim and contacted the owner of the original work who owns the copyright since most of us bloggers PURCHASE photos from our photo accounts on Getty/WireImage/WENN/Splash.

All this because I called her "soon to be ex?" Pls support HipHossip and ask Tameka Foster to withdraw her false claim. This has been the 7 worst days of my life! Lost ad revenue and wages!

RIHANNA HAS JEEZY AND THE DREAM ON NEW ALBUM.

Rihanna's forthcoming album "Rated R" will feature collaborations with not only Justin Timberlake and work with Ne-Yo, the anticipated disc will also include a cut with Hip Hop heavyweight Young Jeezy.

According to The-Dream, who has helmed a portion of the album, Jeezy is on a recently completed track with Rihanna.

"Me and Rihanna, she just cut the last of the two records we did. It's a record called 'Rock Star'," The-Dream told MTV recently.

"The first record is a record called 'Hard,' which features [Young] Jeezy. Both of those records are pretty insane."

Rihanna's "Rated R," led by the single "Russian Roulette," is due in stores November 23.

Rapper releases video directed by Heath Ledger.

An Australian rapper who was a boyhood friend of Heath Ledger has released a music video the star directed shortly before his death.

N'fa Forster-Jones posted the 3 minute, 31 second-clip for his song "Cause An Effect" on his YouTube and MySpace pages on Thursday, along with a video in which he explains how the project came about.

Ledger, the celebrity-shy star of Batman blockbuster, The Dark Night, and the posthumously released The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, shot a handful of videos for low-profile artists he liked. Ledger died aged 28 in New York from an accidental drug overdose in January 2008.

Forster-Jones, who had been friends with Ledger since they were toddlers in the Australian city of Perth, said the video was shot in one day in the garage of Ledger's beachside apartment.

"He gave me a call one morning, as he often did at crazy hours, and he's like, 'N'fa, I've got this idea for a video,'" the rapper says in the online posting.

"He was basically running around directing me each shot," he said. "It was a really cool day."

"Every day I count my blessings that I got to have him direct this piece of art," he said.

The video was first shown at a collection of Ledger's work at the Rome Film Festival earlier this month.

GOD IS REALLY GOOD TO ME TAMEKA....

Thank you to everyone that had been reaching out to me with support via e-mail, FB and phone all day about how Tameka Foster has temporarily damaged my business. This area features all the stories that have been developing in the last 6 days...It will be a week tommorrow Tameka called my home and left that profanity laced voicemail. Regarding the copyrighted photo, the attorney for Derek Blanks Photography is handling that right now. The YouTube video they took down because of the photo is still playing on all blogs even though I have deleted it per YouTube. Technology glitches by the almighty. There is a GOD Tameka.....

Some of us bloggers and Journalist do this job for our love of news. Monthly magazines and 11pm news is still there but blogs get the info as it breaks due to all new technology. I am supposed to cover Jay-Z's concert tommorrow here in Toronto with N.E.R.D and Wale but will not be able to post yet as my readers cannot find me. I also have the Hip-Hop artist Halloween features where all Canadian music artists send me a pic in their Halloween costume along with the daily news of course.

Once again, thanks for your support....

Kemi

PS: For those of you that heard me in tears today, I am a STONG WOMAN and not very emotional but this is one call and incident that truly hurt me.....and my business when you are slandered. It will be a week tommorow 10/24/09 at 11.29am EDT. Famous Canadian Arkwasane rapper Corey Joc said today "Kemi, the whole country is behind u."

FIRST SHE CALLS MY HOUSE, NOW SHE TAKES MY SITE DOWN.

For anyone who needs this....Pls call soon to be ex-Mrs Foster Raymond to back off my domain name and call GoDaddy to tell the truth. Dynamic Photographer Mr. Derek blanks attorney will prevail the truth and so will the freedom of the press. I am losing wages and thousands in ad revenue daily!

Yet another one of Tameka's Publicists mails me with conflicting information. Why can't these people just acknowledge their client's mistake??

Below is Sasha B@heliopr

Hi Kemi,

We handle media relations for Tameka Foster Raymond. You are attemting to slander our client under false pretenses and utilization of a fabricated recording. We have escalated this situation to legal because it does not fall within your protection under the First Amendment. I just listened to the recording and that is neither my client's voice nor her style of language. If you are attempting to use our client to make a name for yourself in the media it shows significant lack of morality. For the record you said you reached out to her publicist, but we received no such inquiry from you and neither did anyone on my staff. I had heard Sandra Rose left some deranged post about Tameka calling a blogger and we brushed it off like another one of her insane antics, as this is what Sandra Rose does to incite her readers. I'm very sorry you felt the need to sojourn down this path of hate and destruction towards a mother, sister and friend. Tameka is an extremely positive person who would never succumb to something so absurd. And just from a logical standpoint with everything going on in her life do you really think she could find the time to acquire a home number in Canada and then leave a voicemail knowing you would play it for the world? You obviously did not thoroughly think this out before taking it upon yourself to allegate (there is no such word Sasha) false claims against our client. Again for the record this is not her voice, you've been set-up.

Sincerely,
Sasha Brookner

TAMEKA SENDS GHETTO PUBLICIST WITH NO DEGREE TO HARRASS ME FURTHER SEARCHING WHOLE INTERNET FOR MY HOST SERVER. ADMITS IT WAS TAMEKA'S VOICE.

Rather than this fool reach out and apologize for her client's stupid behaviour, she sends me an e-mail full of unprofessional behaviour for a PR firm. Unbelievable! Later she e-mails GoDaddy still stalking the domain host asking them to take my site down because of Tameka's picture which she calls "stolen". Well at least "Malady A-damns" has now confessed that it was Tameka's voice on my voicemail. I purchase pictures from stock photogs and papparazzi.

We handle media relations for Tameka Foster Raymond. Your attempt to slander our client under false pretenses with the utilization of a fabricated recording has been escalation to legal. For the record I had your ficitious tape removed from Youtube. Your audio engineer or whoever mixed this should be fired, it's way too choppy to even be believable. He/She took the first part of Tameka stating her name directly from her recent appearance on the Ryan Cameron show and the second part of the audio is a voice that doesn't even resemble our clients.

Even your readers knew this was edited. In fact none of us had ever heard of you or your blog, until you attempted to use our client to make a name for yourself in the media. I'm sorry you felt the need to sojourn down this path of hate and destruction towards a mother, sister and friend but based on your latest post you just seem to be a disgruntled blogger. And just from a logical standpoint with everything going on in her life do you really think she could find the time to acquire a home number for a woman she's never heard of in Canada (of all places) and then leave a voicemail knowing you would broadcast it to the public?

You obviously did not thoroughly think this out before taking it upon yourself to allegate these false claims. You and Sandra Rose also should have checked Tameka's itinerary on Saturday before choosing that day to pull this prank. She was at a photo shoot, then preparing for her Lost Ones Fundraiser that evening. There will be no further correspondence w/ you but I should mention that we have contacted your hosting provider directly surrounding all the copyright protected images you are using of Tameka on your site. Please be aware that continued copyright infringement according to Godaddy.com will have adverse effects on your account standing.

Sincerely,
Melody Adams

• Wish I had an audio engineer.
• Canadians hate Tameka just as bad!
  
• Never met Sandra Rose. Just another blogger.
  
• Don't mess with my blog accounts. She may end up in Brazil again.
  
• GoDaddy does not host any of my blogs.
• I will check the roaches in my kitchen's itinerary b4 checking Tamekas!
• Spelling errors are not pro....Ficitious.
• Our readers cannot comment on this blog so how do you know what they know?
  

Later in the day, I replied Malady to let her know that I'm glad she CONFESSED Tameka's voice was on the recording. Also who the fock is checking Tameka's itinerary. A certified convicted shoplifter with a phony girls foundation begging for your money? Shouldn't she sit her ass down and just raise her kids who almost lost her when she almost DIED last year in Brazil during rubbermaid surgery?

Later in the day.....

Dare I ask whether you have reading comprehension problem? Do they offer literacy classes in Nigeria? Did you not just see me say type someone took the stating of Tameka's name on that recording directly from the audio of her recent appearance on Ryan Cameron show and meshed it with another voice and played it on your voicemail? Even a rudimentiary elementary school student would know that was a fake. What part of Tameka's never heard of you went over your head? Looking forward to the Toronto Police Dept. giving you the time of day for that awfully editing recording. And so typical for a blogger to not be able to handle these things maturely or professionaly but instead succumb to posting correspondence to their blog to try to generate hits. And on the record you're a psycho.

Sincerely,
Melody Adams

• Looks like someone has comprehension problems not "problem"
  
• That elementary school student was my 8-year-old son who told police about the call.
  
• And Yes, Toronto Police came again to read your e-mail.
• We don't want Tameka to ever hear about us.
• She give death threats, slashes tires and keys cars.
• Insulting "Nigerians is a no-no! We sent this to Chaka Zulu, Wale and Mekka Don.
  
• Now that's a professional PR rep Tameka! Like I told Malady, "You both are certified NUTS!"

WILL TAYLOR SWIFT MEET KANYE ON THIS WEEKEND'S SNL?

Taylor Swift may not be the only guest coming to "Saturday Night Live" on the November 7 episode, because the rapper who crossed her path last month may be too. Words are, producers of the variety show are working extra time in order to get Kanye West to make a "surprise" appearance.

Kanye infamously cut Taylor's Best Female Video acceptance speech at MTV Video Music Awards in September, saying that Beyonce Knowles has "the best video of all time". Taylor was apparently in shock that she didn't continue the speech. He has apologized to her since, but the incident is still making headlines.

As of earlier this month, Taylor said that she has prepared some skits that are inspired by "hilarious things" that have happened to her in the "past couple of months". Her plan includes doing a digital shorts with Andy Samberg.

HEARTBREAK HOTEL: TAMEKA FOSTER-SOON TO BE EX RAYMOND HEARD USHER WAS GIVING HER THE BOOT HER VIA THE INTERNET!

Usher has been slammed by estranged wife Tameka Foster, because she claims she only found out he was divorcing her when she read an article about it. Foster first heard he wanted to make their split official when news of their divorce appeared on the internet, which left the stylist hurt. "It was rumored [the divorce], so friends and family called, saying, 'Are you OK?' I didn't really understand why."

"But Usher and I weren't really speaking then. He was away recording, and I was angry at other things going on. He filed two days later." Tameka also revealed she still has feelings for the singer, telling People: "I still love him very much and I'm sure I always will. Do I want to be with him? I don't know."

I'm sure he doesn't wanna be with you! Get real and keep your phone calls to your side of the border!

AN OPEN LETTER TO TAMEKA: TAMEKA VS BLOGGERS PART 48--PROOF THAT TAMEKA FOSTER-SOON TO BE EX RAYMOND WANTS ME SILENCED ON THE BLOGOSPHERE.

Since Tameka Foster is now mad that she found out about Usher's divorce plans on the internet. She must take all measures to save that marriage now. It may be too late. I have never been married but if I were a soon to be Usher's wife, I would keep my shyt on the down low. In Africa, we have polygamy like my dad has more than one wife but my mom is #1. The ladies have their own crib, and the man takes care of each of them. Here in North America, you call that phenomenom "baby mama." My son KJ's big brother (lookalike..lol) Akon has 3 of them so does L'il Wayne.

Let's take Weezy's ladies. The other day I showed you the top baby mamas Sarah B and Toya. So classy and poised! Then there is Lauren London and Nivea the other polished two. (I hate to call them lower two) By "top" I actually meant that Sarah had Weezy's first son while Toya had the first daughter. Lauren and Nivea may well be the middle baby mamas, we don't know yet. There may be others in line. Go Weezy!

Back to that human tick Tameka, by keeping your shyt down low, you will not do much to get noticed sista. No one even heard about Toya's divorce to Hot Boyz L'il Wayne especially after that lovely white wedding they had. First yesterday 10/27/09, Tameka's lawyer called World Star Hip-Hop telling them to take down the Fish net detective wrinkled stomach picture down because it was in their video portal. You know we bloggers have photo accounts with Getty, Wire Image, Mirror Image and more. First we purchase pictures all over the place and then there are stock photographers.

You DID NOT need to go harass WSHH. We are online partners as well as Dime Wars. Video portals supply videos to bloggers. Though they took down your wedding pictures with the pink stamp "IT'S OVER" and the fishy one (BTW, I have me a wrinkled stomach too after 3 kids and I'm 46 but damn, I look good and could do better than that in front of Derek Blanks) You could not resist the almost total 50,000 hits so you filed a copyright claim to YouTube to yank my video.

Well Tameka, I respect copyright and even though the wedding picture was fished from Natasha's YBF which I credited as "via YBF", they are truly Essence magazine's photos/your wedding photos. Well I'm sorry about that to Essence and you....BUT my audio of you calling my home to curse is going NOWHERE! You have made a fool of yourself and from what I hear from YouTubers, when a copyright claim is made, It usually has the name of the party as in the company. You just had to have your name on there didn't you? Couldn't your people call me? Below is an example of her attacks on Atlanta blogger Sandra Rose on Twitter. With this human tick, you need screen shots all the time.

Guess you made the stupid call to my home after all. BET's blogs described your ordeal with bloggers "Part 47!!" This is part 48. Unleash the Ryan Cameron Videos, all 3 of them, Open your tweets (btw, that cartoon looks better than you) and call here to apologize and stop being a certified NUT! Further below is the stupid message Tameka left me once again. You can play it over and over. Thank God for the WSHH portal. baby, I still got Imeem, so FOCK your pictures!

You may wanna tell YouTube that I have deleted the video and it's still playing on blogs, so GOD is not letting technology work. The screen shots are what I'm getting on my end. Tameka, there is a GOD. Go concentrate on your kids and leave Usher alone. I'm not even buying some suggestions that Usher's people called this house to sell records as some commenter's wrote on YouTube.

The dynamic Zaytoven who produced "Papers" did a good job but Usher said it wasn't about you. Girl, get a Prozac! I'm a 25-year Pharmacist during the day! Music is just my love and hobby. I even have a rap album in the works with Kama. He's our Jazze Phae/DJ Toomp of Canada. I may have a track on you in there. I got my 116 patients and don't protect my tweets. Follow me on HipHossip too. I now have the police report in my hands and will PDF it when I'm ready. Toronto Police don't play. They did not listen to my COMPUTER, they listened to my phone!! The documentation says "suspicious phone harrasment and stalking."

They also saw your other 5 blocked calls at night. Don't wake us up if you can't SLEEP. Usher is probably sleeping tight.....with someone else. I've had it! When VH1 discovered this blog in 2007, I did not know that I will end up with celeb wife headaches. You are not a celeb, your husband and clients are. Sweets is the #1 hairdresser in Toronto and nobody knows him over there. He does Keyshia Cole's hair and others and humble about it. Must everyone know Tameka?

There was no pardon, he spent almost 9 years in jail for a gun crime and he probably despises Diddy. Shyne should keep his head up and get into a studio down there in Belize and start over. He missed the internet, YouTube, Facebook, Obama's inauguration etc. Off he was yesterday at the airport flanked by immigration agents reading Men's Health magazine.

We hear he was very sad to go. His dad is the Prime Minister and they are estranged says reports but Family will always reconcile. Honey we are all coming to interview you there in Belize. Between me and Gyant, lets see who gets the first interview. I'm booking my flight as we speak. Another lesson for all the kids...PUT THE GUNS DOWN. You may regret it later.

TRAGEDY: CANADIAN SINGER SONGWRITER TAYLOR MITCHELL KILLED BY ATTACKING COYOTES WHILE HIKING!

A young Toronto folk singer-songwriter has died in hospital from injuries sustained after a rare attack by coyotes in Nova Scotia. Taylor Mitchell's manager, Lisa Weitz, says it's difficult to express the tragedy of the 19-year-old woman's death. Weitz says Mitchell, who recently earned a Canadian Folk Music Awards nomination, was a compassionate and phenomenally talented young woman whose excitement for life was contagious.

Mitchell was airlifted to a Halifax hospital in critical condition after the attack in Cape Breton, but succumbed to her injuries today. She was hiking alone on the Skyline Trail in Cape Breton Highlands National Park on Tuesday when the attack occurred. RCMP spokeswoman Brigdit Leger says other hikers heard her screams for help and called 911, adding that an officer was in the area and arrived within minutes. RCMP shot one of the two animals, apparently wounding it, but both managed to get away. Mitchell, who recently launched her debut album, "For Your Consideration", was on tour in the Maritimes.

HipHossip's thoughts and prayers are with Taylor's family....

IS THIS IT? THE REVIEWS ARE IN ON MICHAEL JACKSON'S MOVIE.

Toronto Sun's Jane Stevenson watches the movie last nite and gives it a 4 out of a 5. 
As you might imagine, there is a major bittersweetness involved while watching Michael Jackson's This Is It.

Consider the entire documentary, which began a limited two week run at Canadian theatres at midnight on Tuesday night, is fascinating behind-the-scenes footage of rehearsals for a concert comeback for Jackson that never happened after his untimely death on June 25 at the age of 50.

As Jackson is prophetically shown saying himself at the March press conference to announce the run of London shows: "This is the final curtain."

So not only do you mourn for the man himself - revealed to be an eccentric, playful, and creative perfectionist in the film, and more importantly still a vital singer and flashy dancer for anyone who had doubts about his health - but for what might have been the next great phase of his career.

Jackson, who hadn't toured in more than a decade, was just eight days away from leaving from L.A. for London and a 50-show run at 02 Arena when he died at his home from a cardiac arrest.

This Is It was culled from 120 hours of footage of Jackson rehearsing at the Staples Centre with show director Kenny Ortega, who also directed the movie, and various choreographers, dancers, the band and filmmakers who shot striking footage to be used in the live show.

Clearly Ortega, who directed the three High School Musical films and choreographed countless other seminal pieces of movie dancing - Matthew Broderick performing Twist and Shout in Ferris Beuller's Day Off and Patrick Swaye's memorable moves in Dirty Dancing - knows how to pace a film filled with so much dancing and singing. It helps when you have a riveting leading man in the form of Jackson.There is much more when you click here at the Sun's website.

I cannot watch it. You can never understand that part of me, just like Diana Ross did not attend the funeral nor the memorial. I met Michael as a teen.

THE OFFENSIVE AUDIO PHONE MESSAGE BY TAMEKA FOSTER-STILL RAYMOND.

You be the JUDGE and JURY. I am not at all interested in shopping her voice. She is a Stylist and it will be hard to get new clients with such behaviour like this. In her interview with Ryan Cameron, she specifically said that she does not discuss former clients while asked about Usher. I truly believe she owes me an apology.

N.E.R.D
World-famous producers and songwriters Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, over the course of their decade-long career, have changed the course of music. It started with the redefining of hip-hop, the two of them wielding a minimalist, synthesized palette and a limitless imagination to create a sound that was as sophisticated and elegant as it was raw and rhythmic. Since then, Pharrell has gone on to a successful solo career, collaborating with some of the biggest artists including Jay-Z, Madonna, Justin Timberlake, Brittney Spears, Snoop Dogg, Gwen Stefani and Busta Rhymes. N.E.R.D's latest studio album Seeing Sounds produced such hit singles as "Everyone Nose (All The Girls Standing In The Line For The Bathroom)" and "Spaz."


WALE

Amy Winehouse’s goddaughter 'doesn’t know' if she remarried.

Amy Winehouse’s goddaughter 'doesn’t know' if she has remarried Blake Fielder-Civil. The 'Back to Black’ singer sparked speculation she had retied the knot with her ex-husband at the weekend after the pair changed their Facebook statuses to read 'Married’ but 13-year-old Dionne Bromfield insists the singer hasn’t even talked about Blake with her.

When asked about the rumours at the Q Awards in London yesterday (26.10.09), Dionne – who has been described by Amy as being like a 'sister' to her – told BANG Showbiz: 'I don’t know about this, I haven’t spoken to her about it. I don’t even know if it’s true. 'She wasn’t with me at the weekend, I don’t know where she was.'

Amy, 26, was also in attendance at the ceremony, held at the Grosvenor House Hotel, and caused controversy by arriving late to present an award to The Specials, and later heckled Robert Plant as he received his Outstanding Contribution To Music honour. After the awards, Amy was seen looking worse-for-wear at the Gaucho restaurant, where she accidentally exposed her breasts to photographers.

Despite her antics, Dionne insists Amy – a recovering drug addict – has cut down on her alcohol consumption and forbids her from consuming any intoxicating beverages. Dionne - who is signed to Amy's Lioness record label, and is soon to release her first album 'Introducing Dionne Bromfield' - added: 'Amy is being very good now with drinking, so to me she’s like, 'Dionne, no alcohol,’ and I’m like, 'Hello, I’m 13, what can I do?’ She doesn’t even have to tell me that, I’m a sensible kid.

'The best piece of advice Amy’s given me is to keep my feet on the ground and keep on the correct path.' Amy and Blake’s divorce was finalised less than two months ago.Minutes after updating his relationship status at the weekend, Blake posted a message on the social networking website reading: "Can't argue with true love. What's the point?" The post prompted dozens of the couple's friends to write messages of congratulations on the site.

Does Dionne knows about her Godmom's new boobs too?

R&B star Monica interview to promote her new BET show ‘Still Standing’ after the BET Hip-Hop Awards tonite.

For those of you in Canada who bitched about not seeing Monica's reality show on the Peachtree channel, well, the new one hits BET tonite. Rodney Ho,  good pal of mine writes:  In the fast-moving world of R&B, three years feels like 20 – kind of like dog years. Monica, the Atlanta-based singer whose star shined brightest in the late 1990s, has stayed under the radar the past four years raising her two kids. So what better way to get back on the scene than a reality show? “Monica: Still Standing” debuts tonight on BET at 10 p.m. after the BET Hip Hop Awards

“I think it gives people an in-depth look how hard it is to stay relevant in the music business and balancing family life,” she said in a phone interview last week. “A lot of people aren’t comfortable baring their souls. I am. I’m a work in progress. I’m going through things every day just like everybody else.”’ Monica has ridden a roller coaster of a life, packed with highs and lows. Highs include breaking it big with a quintuple platinum debut album at the age of 15 and taking home a Grammy three years later. Lots more at the AJC website. Read about her fiance, her cousin Ludacris and more.

My planned interview with Monica is coming soon Canada so stay put. This is one of those other good girls out of ATL.

CHRIS BROWN'S VIDEO......OR AT LEAST WHAT'S TO COME.
