Here’s what we’re sipping on this morning:
  • Mel B released a statement concerning an altercation her hubby was in recently, saying he was merely defending her. Turns out that a group of men made some lewd comments about her at a London hotel, prompting her man to take action. “He was rushing to the defense of a woman — me. He was my defender. So I can’t be mad. It’s been blown into more than what it was,” she said. Eurweb is reporting that one man was so badly injured that he needed to be taken to a hospital. [EURweb]

  • In the middle of handling rumors that there are photos of his penis floating the Internet, Kanye West released a new song featuring Keri Hilson as part of his Good Friday campaign. It’s called “Take One for the Team,” and he’s also beatboxing on the track… it’s a good listen for Monday morning! [Vulture]
  • In other Kanye news, the artwork for his fifth studio album, “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” has been banned! Yes, it’s banned in the U.S. You take a look and let us know if it’s that bad… [Necole Bitchie]
  • Tiger Woods’ ex-wife, Elin Nordegren, recieved $110 million in their divorce settlement. OMG! Radar Online is reporting that she’s not acting brand new and that she’s being very sensible with her money. [Radar Online]
