You win some, you lose some – that’s what happened to a woman named Monique Wayne who filed a defamation suit against rapper DMX after he alleged that she raped him. A Maryland judge has nixed the $1.5 million, which awarded to Monique in January after DMX failed to appear in court, saying that DMX was not properly served with court papers in the case filed against him. How could you show up in court without knowing you had to be there anyway? Monique became pregnant after an August 2003 hook up with the rapper. She gave birth to boy in April 2004 and DNA tests showed that it was DMX’s son.
Madonna gets into diva mode again

Madonna stunned hotel staff in Cannes. The ‘4 Minutes’ singer – who is in the French town for the world famous Film Festival - issued a barrage of requests to the Carlton Hotel before her arrival.
Madonna insisted her $2,000-a-night suite was kept at a constant 30 degree temperature and demanded that it was filled with fresh flowers and scented candles. Most bizarrely, she requested a hook to be attached to the ceiling. Two treadmills have also been installed in the suite so the singer and her husband, director Guy Ritchie, can work out together.
Madonna is in Cannes showcasing her film, ‘I Am Because We Are’. The documentary focuses on the plight of children with AIDS in Malawi – a cause close to the 49-year-old singer’s heart, because she adopted her youngest son David from the region in 2006.
