Lauryn Hill kept her fans in D.C. waiting for three hours at an August concert… while reportedly waiting for her mani/pedi to dry. A rep for Ms. Hill is now confirming the rumors. “Sorry she kept her fans waiting, but she couldn’t go out there looking busted!” the rep told Perez Hilton. Would you have left? [Perez]

Despite potentially upsetting fans, Lauryn is hard at work recording music. She recorded a remake of Burt Bacharach’s “Close to You” with Ron Islely, and it’s worth a listen. [Bossip]

As if being arrested for drugs weren’t enough, T.I. may now be dropped by AXE as their spokesman. We hope things will pick up for him. [TMZ]

And the drama continues for Dwight Howard and Royce Reed. According to court documents, she now wants Howard to have supervised visits with his son. When will enough be enough? [TMZ]
