Foxy Brown

Foxy Brown Pleads Guilty to Cell-Phone Menacing How does one go about "menacing a neighbor with [a] cell phone," as the AP reports of Brooklyn rapper Foxy Brown? The AP does not explain. The fight started with Foxy "blasting her car stereo" outside the building. (This scuffle is not to be confused with last year's fight with a manicurist.)

Foxy Boxed Rapper, criminal, and muse of the ages Foxy Brown has been denied the early release from prison she had requested. Brown had been hoping to go to California to seek treatment for a defective ear implant. Ms. Brown was sentenced to a year in prison this past September, after violating the probation she earned by assaulting some manicurists. Spinderella remains at large. [NYT]

Joe Tacopina To Testify About Bernie Kerik's Lies

Gravel-voiced bulldog Joe Tacopina was a lawyer for corrupt former police commissioner Bernard Kerik—one that Kerik actually paid for services rendered. Because while the other guys were defending Kerik from pending indictments the old-fashioned "legal" way, Tacopina was, according to the U.S. Attorneys, passing on false information and obstructing justice—and that's the way you defend Bernie Kerik, dammit. (Back in April, Tacopina was praised to the heavens Page Six—and also used to represent former Page Sixer Jared Paul Stern and Foxy Brown.) Now Kerik's other lawyer may be tossed off the case for possessing non-privileged information about Tacopina's actions—and Tacopina will testify about Kerik's misdeeds. America is so cruel to its heroes.

    The Past Is Over

    Rod Townsend (aka our commenter Momo), used to receive telephone calls from The Past, a mysterious entity that remembered where things used to be in New York before Starbucks and Whole Foods came to town.

    "Hello?"

    "Oh, kneadynips, it's The Past. Can I just tell you it's all so over?"

    "Over the top? Over the limit? Overdone? Overcooked?"

    "It's just, like, Over. Nightlife is just getting weird. I can't even have fun at Limelight."

    Foxy Brown: Wore H&M To Court, Showed No Nipple

    New York Post nutcase Andrea Peyser is titillated by the sight of a humbled Foxy Brown arriving at a Brooklyn court (from prison) to plead not guilty to her third phone-related assault. Brown's drab jacket and plaid pants (H&M!!) and "matted" hair excite Peyser to a degree that few cut-down-to-size "divas" could hope to match. Also, this is maybe the single horrifying sentence written in any newspaper in America today: "She also carried no BlackBerry, no $1,500 Louis Vuitton satchel—and revealed nothing of the precious nipple we've come to know and love."

    Foxy Brown Won't Leave Rikers! And Neither Will You.

    It is almost the weekend, praise be! And no matter what your weekend threatens to bring, remember that it's surely gonna be better than that of imprisoned BlackBerry-hurling former rap star Foxy Brown, who is so stewed that she won't even get on the bus from Rikers Island (New York's real sixth borough!) for her arraignment. She's had it up to here! So wherever you go, remember this lone woman's spirit of resistance. Yes. Whether you rot in your own personal jail of an apartment, or venture out in the big bad City to be judged by officers of the law and those that impersonate them, you are all Foxy Brown.

I slept on the couch in my office for 20 minutes three nights in a row — anyone at my office will tell you that. I got 20 minutes sleep Friday night, Saturday night, Sunday night. The first shower I had was Monday at 8 before the rehearsal of our show. I did not have lunch, I did not have drinks, I did not have tea at the Mercer." Okay!! [WWD]

    Foxy Brown Is In Jail Awaiting Trial

    The rapper Foxy Brown, whose career probably peaked on 1997's Nas, Foxy Brown, AZ, and Nature Present The Firm: The Album, is in jail for violating her probation by smacking her neighbor with her BlackBerry. Her trial is set for September 5th, one day before her 28th birthday. Huh, she's a Virgo! According to astrologyzone.com, that means she's probably feeling the effects of August 28th's lunar eclipse. "Lunar eclipses bring endings, and alas, this one may be no exception." Bummer, Foxy.

    Today we find out whether Foxy Brown will spend two more years in jail for violating her probation in various ways. "Her attorney, New York State Sen. John Sampson, said he believes she will be acquitted in the Florida and Brooklyn attacks, and that she should not be jailed today." Hold up, time out. Foxy Brown's lawyer is a New York State Senator?? [NYP]
