Marques Houston–who also has an album coming out– responded to the claims with is own, including that Raz is on drugs. On his reaction to the molestation claims: It was a big joke to me. If you think about the time frames [of] when this guy starts up its always around my album coming out, my album release and now my movie release is coming out so he is talking more.

by Steven J. Horowitz posted May 31, 2012 at 10:13AM PDT | Prodigy says that it's nothing but love with his former boss. Prodigy and Havoc previously had a deal with G-Unit Records, a partnership that yielded 2006’s Blood Money . During an interview with Vlad TV , Prodigy explained his current relationship with 50 Cent and the imprint, assuring that their relationship is still intact but that they decided to take advantage of a clause in the contract that allowed them to get out of the deal. “50, that’s my boy right there. He can’t do no wrong in my eyes. Yeah, the G-Unit deal, when I got locked up, we had an option to do another album with G-Unit. Actually, they had another option to do an album with us. So when I got locked up, 50 had changed distributors for G-Unit, his label, and he was looking for a new distribution deal,” he said. “So during that time, he was making those distribution changes, there was a clause in our contract ...

            Exclusive Whaddya Know ... I Found Missing Death Room Duds When Whitney Houston died, a little bit of Ray J went with her -- well, Ray J's clothing anyway ... and now he's being sued for the expensive items that mysteriously disappeared from room 434 at the Beverly Hilton. In recently filed legal docs, L.A. Stylist Marc Littlejohn claims he was hired to do Ray J's wardrobe styling on February 10 for a Grammy related event ... problem is, he alleges all the duds he let the singer borrow were left in Whitney Houston's room. Houston died the next day in that room and, according to the lawsuit ... the pricey clothes haven't been seen since. Now Littlejohn is suing Ray J for $2,880 -- the cost of the missing clothes -- insisting he's reached out to both the singer and his mother/manager repeatedly to get some cash or the threads. ...

Justin Bieber i s a suspect in a criminal battery ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ. Justin was in Calabasas, where he lives, just after noon Sunday at a mall called The Commons.  A paparazzo attempted to take Justin's picture and, according to law enforcement, some sort of physical altercation erupted between Justin and the camera guy.

The photog filed a police report naming Justin as the culprit. Cops are investigating the incident as a misdemeanor battery. Law enforcement tells us detectives want to speak with Justin, Selena and any other witnesses. We placed a call to Justin's rep ... so far, no comment.

Exclusive LeVar Burton  had a double whammy of a day with the cops today ... literally -- not only did he get pulled over for a moving violation, he got rear-ended by a cop car as he was pulling over! Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the legendary "Reading Rainbow" host was spotted by cops failing to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk in Van Nuys, CA ... so they signaled him to pull over. We're told as Burton pulled to the side of the road, he stopped suddenly ... causing the cop car to hit him from behind. Law enforcement sources tell us the damage was just to one corner of Burton's car and it wasn't too severe. The story gets better for two reasons -- 1) Burton got out of the car and was actually wearing a "Reading Rainbow" shirt and 2) the cops didn't give him the original ticket. LeVar was in good spirits after the accident, telling our photog that accidents hap...

Exclusive Hip-hop mega-producer Sean Garrett  has worked with the biggest names in the business, but for the foreseeable future, a portion of every dollar ​he makes will go straight to the biggest name of all ... UNCLE SAM. According to docs filed by the Georgia Department of Revenue, Garrett owes back taxes for the years 2006 and 2007 to the tune of $732,553.57. So the government is tired of waiting for their cash, they ordered BMI, which collects royalties for artists, to hold all money Garrett makes and turn it over to them. Garrett has produced 15 number one songs in his career -- for the likes of Beyonce, Usher, and Nicki Minaj -- so Uncle Sam should have his money in no time.
