Guess it’s true when they say all good things do come to an end. Gavin Marchand, brother of rapper Foxy Brown, apparently has pleaded guilty last month for using forged credit cards to go on luxurious shopping sprees and “ballin” out of control at Club Jaunt in New York City.
According to Authorities they state he spent up to a $8,000 tab on phony credit cards at an Hermes boutique in Manhattan in August 2010. Prosecutors say the cards were fake, but they had legitimate account numbers that belonged to other people.
Gavin has been sentenced to sentenced Wednesday to 2½ to five years in prison for identity theft. Hopefully next time Gavin wants to live “the good life” he will do it the legal way. What a shame!

We are not totally surprised that the latest rumor about Drake is that he’s “too high” to get anything accomplished.
According to sources, Drake is BEHIND in completing his album. An inside recently said:
“[Drake] is too high to do anything. Someone needs to help him. They’ve asked us to put Drizzy ON BLAST . . . so that people who love him can help him out.”
Ms.Drama TV and the rest of the world will have to sit back and see what will transpire of this allegation. Will Drake be another statistic or set the record straight? Stay tuned.

Us “normal folks” aren’t the only ones who believe in shopping economically. The First Lady herself, Michelle Obama, was spotted shopping at Target.
Of course she was not dressed in her usual conservative attire that consist of a knee length dress and medium size pump. She was dressed alto more casual; so much that people would even considered her being an “undercover.”
Rumor has it that the White House may have tipped of Charles Dharapak, who is a photographer known for working with the Associated Press.
The White House communications director Kristina Schake did release a statement about the siting:
“It is not uncommon for the First Lady to slip out to run an errand, eat at a local restaurant or otherwise enjoy the city outside the White House gates.”
Of course they did not comment on if Dharapak was tipped off or not. So there you have it, next time you go into Target do not feel so self-conscious but enter with pride because EVERYONE shops there!

After seeing live filming of the “We Found Love” video, a concerned member of the Rihanna Navy tweeted:
”@rihanna looks fat in the we found love pics =[,”
Instead of the angry celeb-like reply, SHE AGREED! The singer replied :
“I peeped that too *puts down donut*.”
Last time MDTV checked Rihanna could use a few more donuts! But regardless, we respect the singers light approach to a fans “concern”
Should celebrities follow Rihannas example and keep comments funny & carefree or should twitter be an open range for fans to get a taste of their own tweets?
Stay tuned to MDTV for the “We Found Love” video …
