Kanye West is selling his vacant Beverly Hills home. He just put the property that he has owned for 9 months now, on the market for $8.699 million. He purchased the property in February for $7,150,000 but never moved in.

The six-bedroom house on the 0.79-acre lot has four baths and is in what is called tear-down condition.  The sale price also includes plans to build a new house on the property.

Public records show that West reportedly transferred the house title to his KWLA International LLC company in August.

Diddy apologizes to Tyson Beckford.

Via Sfgate:

Sean “Diddy” Combs has publicly apologized to Tyson Beckford for the “discomfort” which led the model to hit him with a $5 million lawsuit last month.

Beckford claimed in his lawsuit filed against the rap mogul that Combs’ Sean John clothing label owed him money after using his image when his contract had expired.

He also claimed he was only paid $600,000 of the contractual $1.2 million he alleges he agreed to.

But the pair were seen patching up their differences during a fashion show on Friday.

Diddy says….

“He’s an icon and (I respect him) for what he’s done for black people in the fashion industry and I’m going to make sure that we get together and we straighten it out. It’s not a problem.

“He’s somebody that I respect and in fashion, sometimes you decide not to go with a model for another season — it’s regular practice. Apparently, there was something still on the Web site. It wasn’t clear.

“I apologize to him for any discomfort that he incurred. I’m doing my best to make sure that gets rectified, but it’s not like I owe him money or anything like that.”

Shaunie worth $30 million???

Shaunie O’Neal is reportedly worth $30million.

Via Palmbeachpost:

Miami Heat superstar Shaquille O’Neal used to hand his soon-to-be-ex-wife a $7,000 stipend every month – which she then spent on her hair and groceries for other relatives.

And although she’s asking a Miami-Dade County court for temporary support from the 7-footer as their divorce unfolds, Shaunie O’Neal, 33, is far from destitute.

The financial affidavit she recently filed shows that the mother of four kids with Shaq may be worth as much as $30 million.

Although neither former lovebird nor their lawyers commented, the paperwork shows Shaunie, who’s been hitched to the big man for five years, lists nearly $450,000 in cash and stocks as assets. The couple’s $25 million Star Island home in Miami Beach, a condo in L.A., a $3.95 million home in Orlando and another condo in Miami also figure on her balance sheet.

And, if you believe the same document, she invested in several businesses, including a Virginia developer ($250,000) and a Los Angeles eatery, Liberty Grill ($250,000).

She spends a whopping $2,500 a month of Shaq’s cash on her hair.

And the rest of the $7,000 a month, which she claims as her only income, ends up with Shaunie’s brother, parents and sister.

Interesting.

Kanye speaks about the support and his mom.

Only one day after breaking down in tears during a performance in Paris, France, Kanye addressed his mother’s passing at a concert in Brussels, Belgium.

“About 50 people, a hundred people that I ain’t never talked to in the past three years call me out the blue, talking about, ‘I just wanna tell you that I’m giving you support and stuff,'” Ye told the crowd. “And I appreciate the support and all that, but don’t suggest what I’m supposed to do. ‘What you need to do, you just need to stop touring, you need to go home and clear your head.’ Go home to what, motherfu**er.”

“And there’s nothing that she loved more than to come to the shows and scream louder than any fan, because she was my first fan that was screaming before anybody else, and my first manager,” he added. “If she was here, she would tell me to ‘get on that stage and kill it.'”

50 Cent added…

“That’s really an unfortunate situation and I hope he can work his way through it,” 50 told The Associated Press. “It’s good to see him actually touring: You can work your way back into a comfortable space where you can deal with those situations.”
