A rep for Alicia Keys says the
singer is fine after falling on
stage at the Essence Music Festival
last weekend. The pregnant singer
was performing in 4-inch heels at
the annual event in New Orleans
when she slipped and fell on her
behind.
Keyshia Cole’s mother Frankie Lons
is checking herself into rehab
because she is apparently addicted
to alcohol.
Kanye West and his model-girlfriend Amber Rose are taking a break, a source close to the rapper, 33, tells UsMagazine.com.
“They are still good friends,” the source tells Us. “Kanye is consumed with recording his comeback record in Hawaii and had to shut it all off. When he’s in work mode, he can’t handle a relationship. He told Amber he needs to devote everything right now to his craft.”
Rose, 27, isn’t sulking.
Over the Fourth of July weekend, she was spotted making out with Kim Kardashian’s ex Reggie Bush at Axe Lounge in NYC’s The Hamptons — as West’s hit “Flashing Lights” blared from the speakers.
Nevertheless, a second source tells Us: “I wouldn’t say it’s over for good” for West and Rose. “It’s always off-and-on when it’s convenient for these two. He doesn’t go out anymore and she loves it, so he lets her. I wouldn’t be surprised if they are seen together again next week.”
A baseball fan has been badly hurt after falling 30ft from the upper tier of a stadium while trying to catch a foul ball during a game.

Injured: A male fan is tended to by paramedics after falling 30ft trying to catch a baseball during a match at Texas Rangers’ Rangers Ballpark in Arlington
Horror: Rangers player Nelson Cruz – who hit the foul ball – reacts as the fan falls from the stands
He flipped over railings and fell on to four other fans on the level below him.
The game was stopped for 16 minutes as shaken players sat stunned on the pitch or held their heads in their hands in shock.
Paramedics rushed to the aid of the man and he was strapped to a spinal board before being taken by ambulance to hospital. His condition is unknown.
John Blake, Rangers executive vice president of communications, said the spectator was ‘able to move all his extremities and was responsive to paramedics’.

Four people in the lower tier of seating were also hit and were treated at the stadium for minor injuries.
The incident occurred during the fifth innings of the game last night.
Texas Rangers batter Nelson Cruz had fouled the ball – where a batter hits the pitch behind him – into the first row of seats off to the right of the first base.
It is not the first time that a spectator has been injured after falling during a baseball game.

In May 2008, Justin Hayes, 25, of Cumming, Georgia, was killed after falling four stories at Turner Field during a match between the New York Mets and Atlanta Braves.
The month before Mets fan Antonio Nararainsami died after losing his balance while trying to slide down an escalator handrail at Shea Stadium.
And another spectator survived after falling 15ft from an outfield wall at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia in August 2008.
Kenny Campbell, then 10, successfully caught a home run during New York Met’s batting practice, but lost his balance and fell to the ground. He escaped with bruising.
Fans often try to catch home runs or fouls during matches and keep the balls as a memento.
Suge Knight has proven that he has no fear of going to jail, but this is getting ridiculous.
According to TMZ, cops are looking for Suge again. This time for missing a court appearance in L.A. last week stemming from a 2009 incident where he was ticketed for driving with a suspended license.
In just the last several months, Suge has been accused of beating up and robbing rapper Yukmouth (Yuk denies this happened). He was charged with assault with a deadly weapon in May. And just last week the former Death Row Records kingpin was hit with a restraining order and told to stay away from a man who claims Knight threatened his life.
All in all it’s just another day in the life of Marion Knight.
MyFoxPhilly.com:
PHILADELPHIA – In exclusive video, Fox 29 bumps into Michael Vick at a Philadelphia courthouse on Tuesday, and we get a cryptic comment from Vick about the birthday party where his former co-defendant was shot on June 25.
Michael Vick had little to say but did tell Fox 29 he thought he was getting fair coverage in the media after an incident at another birthday event in Virginia almost two weeks ago.
When asked if he was checking in as part of his probation, Vick answered, “no doubt.”
We then asked Vick if he thought he had been railroaded by the media for the last couple weeks.
“No, I haven’t been railroaded at all,” Vick said.
Then Vick had an interesting answer when we asked him what he thought about all the attention his “All White” party got in late June.
“There should of never been a party,” Vick said.
On June 25, Quanis Phillips was shot early shortly after 2 a.m. outside a club called Guadalajara in Virginia Beach, where a 30th birthday party was being thrown for Vick. Phillips had been a co-defendant in Vick’s dog-fighting case.
Virginia Beach police have closed the case and say Vick is not a suspect . The shooting also led to the NFL and the Philadelphia Eagles to start their own fact-gathering effort about the party.
Vick has said in statements that he was not at the scene of the shooting and was not involved in any way.
Vick is also set to appear at another “birthday” event next weekend as he hosts a charity golf event run by a nightclub outside Atlanta.
Echelon 3000 Ultra Bistro in Stone Mountain, Ga., is hosting “The Michael Vick Birthday Celebrity Golf Tournament” along with a group called MillerTyme Entertainment. The actual golf will be played at Heritage Golf Links in Tucker, Ga.
Vick’s co-host for the event is Willard “Chuck” Lewis, the co-Founder of One Georgia Bank. Promotional material says the birthday event will benefit three local nonprofits: the Georgia Sickle Cell Foundation, the Association on Higher Education and Disability, and Positive American Youth.
Echelon 3000 is a large night club outside Atlanta.
In its online gallery of celebs who’ve visited the club includes several photos of former Philadelphia 76ers star Allen Iverson with club patrons.
Lindsay Lohan will spend the rest of summer behind bars for failing to attend court-ordered alcohol education classes. The sobbing actress was sentenced to 90 days in jail at a probation hearing in Los Angeles on Tuesday (06Jul10). Judge Marsha Revel ordered Lohan to surrender to court on 20 July (10). The judge declared the Mean Girls star was in violation of her probation on a 2007 DUI arrest for skipping classes.
Her alcohol education programme director, Cheryl Marshall, took the stand at the hearing and testified that the actress had failed to attend nine court-ordered classes.
Marshall told the Los Angeles court Lohan came up with excuses that were “endless and disrespectful”.
The explanations the troubled actress gave for not attending classes ranged from missing flights to promoting a clothing line.
Marshall said Lohan also called to excuse herself, claiming her uncle had died and she had to fly to New York – the week before the Mean Girls star flew to Cannes, France in May (10).

and even threatened to rethink his
relationship with the company.
