As you've probably heard by now, LaLa Vasquez, the host of MTV's "TRL" and some other MTV shows, and her fiance NBA baller Carmelo Anthony are expecting a baby. They've been engaged for two years and never set a wedding date -- which some sources say is Melo's doing. Their publicists have released statements about how happy the couple is about the pregnancy. But now I'm hearing from sources close to Melo that this pregnancy was unplanned and he is very unhappy about it because he thinks LaLa is trying to corner him into marriage. Now it wouldn't be the first time an NBA girlfriend pulled some mess like that, but I don't believe it's the case here.

Yeah, they have been engaged for a long ass time and Melo is not trying to get married anytime soon, I hear. But I doubt she got pregnant on purpose for money. Did she do it to trap him into marriage? Possibly. Word in the street is that Melo kicks it with several other females and LaLa has gotten tired of it. And he's on the brink of signing a new hefty contract so that wouldn't hurt.

Foxy Brown

Nearly two years after being accused of robbing Foxy Brown, designer Tanya Manderson quietly won a false arrest and defamation judgment against the rapper when Fox defaulted on the case. She now says the rapper is broke but plans to make her pay in court.

"From what I understand, she really doesn't have any money. Her finances aren't in great shape. Apparently there was some attempt to have insurance pay claims or something like that," Manderson told SOHH regarding Foxy's attempt to settle. "I think she fired [her lawyer] or he left, so he was no longer representing her and we never heard from her, so we just won a judgment against her."[View the court documents Page 1 & Page 2]

"She defaulted," Steve Krawitz, Manderson's lawyer, explained. "I have to collect money from her, but I don't know how to do that."

Manderson is suing Foxy (born Inga Marchand) for libel and defamation of character after a grand jury exonerated her of robbing Foxy at New York's Show Night Club back in October of 2004. Manderson was initially charged with third degree robbery, grand larceny and possession of stolen property, but cleared in March of 2005.

"Basically, the story never stood in court. It went to a grand jury and [they] found that she wasn't credible," Manderson revealed. "And they threw out the case and I was cleared. It never came out that I was cleared."

According to Manderson, Foxy, accompanied by a Show Night Club bouncer, walked into the bathroom and picked a fight with her. Manderson said she defended herself before she was thrown out the door. Interestingly, Manderson says she never met Fox before the night of the incident.

"I know for a fact that she's a habitual liar because she lied about me. From my personal experience, I would have to say she's unstable," Manderson opined. "Two days before my case went to the grand jury she got arrested for the Nail Salon incident, which she pled guilty to. Nothing that I hear surprises me."

According to court documents, Manderson claims that Foxy "made false accusations" about her which were "published by the local media and were defamatory to her causing her damages." In addition to Foxy and her Black Roses Entertainment, Manderson has also named others in the lawsuit including Russell Simmons' Rush Communications, Def Jam Music Inc, celebrity publicist Marvette Britto's Britto Agency, The Show Night Club and the bouncer.

A hearing is soon to be scheduled to determine what damages, if any, Manderson has sustained. Manderson hopes to get at least $1 million out of the settlement.

"She may or may not be broke," says Manhattan-based attorney, Mark Samuel regarding Manderson's assertion about Foxy's finances. "Her failure to respond to Manderson's complaint does not mean that she could not afford an attorney. It is difficult to speculate on why she did not respond. Nonetheless, assuming the default judgment is not vacated by the court, the hearing after the trial will determine what damages she may owe Manderson."

Foxy Brown's reps could not be reached for comment at press time.

In this week's Pulse Report, the streets are buzzing about Khia firing back at Trina, Three Six Mafia invading Hollywood, Cassie's rapper report card and Jay-Z addressing sweat shop rumors.

1. Khia strikes back. Only days after being dissed by Trina on "What's Beef," Khia has fired back with "Hit Her Up." Interestingly, both femcees have borrowed from two previously feuding and unfortunately late emcees for their latest dis records. While Trina took from Biggie's "What's Beef," the Thug Misses opted to be the umpteenth rapper to recycle Tupac Shakur's "Hit Em Up." "Fake bitch if you was real you would have said my name/but I'm calling you a hoe and I'm saying it to your face/keep it real punk hoe, the hood already know/that's why they fuck you in the ass, let a hoe be a hoe/Trick should have warned you not to open your mouth/but Slip-N-Slide been begging me to fill up your spot," Khia charged. Fortunately, this one is sure to stay on wax. Khia and Trina were both at the Ozone Awards and no altercation took place.

2. Three Six Mafia takes over Hollywood. Everybody and their momma wants a piece of Three Six Mafia nowadays. Interestingly, half of them probably didn't know who the Memphis powerhouse was prior to them winning an Oscar. Tinstletown is sure to see a whole lot of DJ Paul and Juicy J in the coming months. "I ain't doing no stunt. We just playing tricks on the 'Jackass' guys. I can't tell what we doing, but we playing tricks, some funny stuff. But no, I ain't doing nothing dangerous on my part," Paul told The Village Voice's "Status Ain't Hood." The duo made an appearance on the forthcoming Jackass 2 movie and also recorded a rock a song for the flick. Also look for two Three Six songs in the upcoming Rocky flick, a cameo with Paris Hilton on "The Simple Life" and a brief appearance on HBO's "Entourage."

3. Cassie rates rappers. Cassie appeared on Hot 97 earlier this week. No, the Myspace sensation did not confirm that "Me and You" was indeed about, ummmm...brains, but during an interview with Angie Martinez, Cassie did reveal that Omarion and Bow Wow tried to holla. Later on during Funkmaster Flex's show, Cassie provided more depth into the episode, detailing that Omarion had his little brother give her his number while Bow Wow also sent his math through a third party. The beauty then rated rappers on a scale from 1 to 10. Ne-Yo, Omarion, Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake and Yung Joc all received 7s while Derek Jeter and Young Jeezy earned 5s. Juelz Santana scored a six while Bow Wow with 8 and T.I. with a 10, were the highest rated. Cassie also noted that Pharrell Williams was her top choice and was clueless as to who NBA Champion, Dwayne Wade was.
