DAMON TRIES TO RISE AGAIN

It’s been about 6 years since business man Damon Dash and rap mogul Jay-Z parted ways, professionally and personally. From the sound of it, the split always seemed really hurtful for Dash. Allegedly, he’s planning to change the hurt into success by re-launching Roc-A-Fella Records without his former friend.
If he is able to accomplish this, kudos to him but I think he has an uphill climb. I think it will be difficult to bring the label back because the scope of music has changed so much. From what I’ve read, he hasn’t even really been working in the music industry over the past several years. So, he would have to get acquainted with the musical climate of today.
Is it a good idea to do something you’ve already done before or should you just start another venture?
GABRIELLE SUED BY BOYFRIEND’S WIFE

About a month ago, I remember hearing a story about a woman who sued her husband’s mistress for millions of dollars and won. I guess NBA star Dwayne Wade’s wife, Siohvaughn, heard the same story and thought it might work for her. She is suing actress Gabrielle Union claiming that she has traumatized her and Wade’s children with her overtly sexual behavior. She’s also seeking damages from Union for breaking up her marriage. Of course, Union and Wade deny these charges.
When I heard the story of the woman who sued her ex-husband’s mistress, I figured it would give more people ideas. Look-I get that divorce is hard. I get that divorce is excruciatingly painful. However, we still have to think here. It’ s not going to be easy for scorned wives to just run to the court house, file a lawsuit against the husband and the new woman and win, feeling completely vindicated. Just like some brilliant lawyer figured out a way for women to sue the woman their husband chose, another lawyer will figure out a way to keep the new women from losing in these cases. I think it’s a lose-lose situation.
Should Gabrielle Union even have to go to court for this?
