People: There’s no crazy quite like Foxy
Foxy Brown is at it again.
The 27-year-old rapper, on probation for attacking two manicurists at a nail salon in 2004, has been charged with assault for allegedly hitting a woman with her BlackBerry.
Earlier this year, Brown was threatened with jail following a Florida incident in which she threw hair glue at a beauty shop employee.
The latest arrest could cause her probation to be revoked and result in jail time.
Police say Brown and Arlene Raymond, who lives near her in Brooklyn, got into a fight over Brown blasting her car stereo.
Afterward, Brown supposedly stormed into the drugstore where Raymond works as a cashier, waved money at her and called her a “lowlife” who’ll “never be nothing.”
A few days later, according to authorities, they passed each other on the street and Brown hurled her BlackBerry at Raymond, cutting her lip and knocking a tooth loose.
Brown, whose real name is Inga Marchand, was released on $50,000 bail after her arraignment Tuesday on charges of felony and misdemeanor assault and criminal possession of a weapon – namely, the BlackBerry.

A London woman who says she’s the real mother of Michael Jackson‘s three children has been denied a role in the singer’s custody settlement with ex-wife Deborah Rowe.
An L.A. judge ruled that Nona Paris Lola Jackson failed to “establish any genetic relationship between herself and the Jackson-Rowe children.”
She claims she and Jackson are “a sexually active couple” and that she has written more than 3,000 songs for him.

In a romantic vein
Evan Rachel Wood waxes sentimental over the closing scene of “Heart-Shaped Glasses,” a music video she made with her boyfriend, shock-rocker Marilyn Manson.
“We’re kissing, and it’s raining blood – and for me, that was one of the most romantic moments of my entire life,” says Wood, 19.
“You can literally be in a thunderstorm of blood, (but) if you look past that, it really is just two people holding onto each other.”
