Timbaland Goes on Tirade at Grammy Party + More

Posted on Feb 11th 2008 9:00AM by Jessica Robertson

Timbaland unleashed a verbal barrage against PEOPLE at the magazine's pre-Grammy party early Saturday morning at L.A.'s Avalon Club, claiming his friends had been left outside of the venue. "Next time I have one of my homeboys in line, let that [expletive] in!" Timbaland said. "I don't like to see my people turned around for some [expletive] magazine ... [expletive] y'all!" The magazine did not offer a comment.

Aretha Franklin was honored as the 2008 MusiCares Person of the Year at a benefit in L.A. on Friday night, which raised $4.5 million for the organization. Anthony Hamilton, John Legend, Herbie Hancock, Fantasia and Corrine Bailey Rae, among others, all paid tribute to the 17-time Grammy-winner.

Paul McCartney and Heather Mills returned to court this morning to attempt to settle the terms of their divorce. The former Beatle is estimated to have $1.6 billion, which could result in Britain's largest divorce settlement ever. Mills will represent herself in the case, after firing her lawyers last November. The couple, who married in 2002 and have a daughter together, Beatrice, separated in 2006.

If this were a person of another race making that verbal tirade,It would be front page news in every city and state. Odd that we don't hear from Al Sharpton when it is a black person speaking this way.
