Amber Rose Denies Sending Photos to Nicki Minaj’s Man.

Amber Rose has found herself wrapped up in yet another nude photo scandal, and this time it involves Nicki Minaj.

The 27-year-old is being accused of sending nude photos to Minaj’s assistant and rumored boyfriend, Safaree. According to celebrity gossip site, MediaTakeout.com, an insider revealed that Rose leaked the photos — one of which shows the model wearing nothing but a pair of heels — and sent them to Safaree, causing a feud between her and Minaj.

Rose has since refuted the claims, taking to her Twitter page to blast the story as completely false. “These blogs do nothing but try to ruin ppls lives I DID NOT send pics to anyones boyfriend pls [sic] stop with the lies. Its so ridiculous. smh,” she wrote. “Yall been doing this to me for 3 years now it shld [sic] be illegal to write fake stories about ppl [sic] the media never wants to see anyone happy.”

This is the second time this year that Rose, who is currently dating rapper Wiz Khalifa, has been the victim of nude photo leaks. Back in February, photos of the blonde beauty — both topless and completely nude — were posted on the website WorldStarHipHop.com.

Last year, Minaj tapped Rose to appear in her video for ‘Massive Attack,’ the first single off her ‘Pink Friday’ debut. The Young Money MC also credited the Philadelphia native for introducing her to Kanye West, which resulted in Minaj being featured on his ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’ album, in which she rhymed on ‘Monster.’

Nude Photo of Diddy and Cassie Cuddling Leaks.

R&B singer Cassie has founder herself in the middle of another nude photo scandal and this time, she’s bringing Diddy along for the ride. The photo, which was revealed via gossip blog Media Takeout, shows a nude Cassie sitting on Diddy’s lap, while he kisses her on the cheek. The hip-hop mogul is also rocking a loosely draped white towel exposing his genitals.

The twosome, who have attempted to keep their not-so-secret relationship under wraps, are rumored to have been dating for the past few years. Although it has never been confirmed, the duo allegedly dated during Diddy’s relations with ex-girlfriend Kim Porter, who is mother to three of his children.

Cassie has also fallen victim to nude photo leaks in the past. The 25-year-old became the prey of an email hacker in 2009, resulting in topless photos of the singer hitting the ‘Net. “I was extremely upset,” she told The BoomBox not long after the photo leaked. “Of course everyone has their thoughts on it: ‘Oh I think she leaked them herself.’ I don’t know what woman in her right mind would ever leak pictures of herself on the Internet.”

Even though her personal life appears to be flourishing, things don’t seem to be matching up on the music side. After dropping the lukewarm single ‘Official Girl’ in 2008, the singer was said to be working on a sophomore release, which has yet to see the light of day. Neither of the two have made a statement on the matter, but on the bright side, both appear to be happy in the photo.

Ala. Bingo Corruption Scandal Strikes 4 State Senators.

(Oct. 4) — And bingo was their names, oh.

FBI agents have arrested 11 people in a corruption scandal in which state lawmakers are alleged to have solicited bribes in exchange for votes for pro-gambling legislation.

Four Alabama state senators — Harri Anne Smith, James Preuitt, Larry Means and Quinton Ross Jr.— were among those indicted by the U.S. Department of Justice today in connection with attempts to purchase votes that would have made electronic bingo machines legal, The Associated Press reports.

In addition to the lawmakers, two casino owners and three lobbyists were also indicted. Seven of those indicted have been arrested, while three others are said to be negotiating their surrender, CNN reports.

The charges facing the defendants include federal program bribery, wire and mail fraud, conspiracy, obstruction of justice, extortion and money laundering, the Department of Justice said.

Jennifer Pouncy, 34, an employee of lobbyist Jarrod D. Massey, pleaded guilty on Sept. 28 to one count of conspiracy, admitting to investigators that she offered Sen. Preuitt $2 million on behalf of her boss in exchange for Preuitt’s vote, according to WSFA News.
