Toni Braxton Loses The Rights To Her Own Songs During Bankruptcy Settlement

toni-braxton

From TMZ:

Toni Braxton may still have a song in her heart after filing for bankruptcy, but she just lost more than 2 dozen tunes that made her famous — because some dude bought them right out from under her … TMZ has learned.

TMZ broke the story … Braxton struck a deal in her bankruptcy case, in which she settled with her various debtors. Part of the deal — Toni could buy back 27 songs from her music catalog for $20K — with one BIG string attached … she could be outbid.

Enter a guy named Ross M. Klein, who doubled Toni’s price and nabbed the tunes.

Among the 27 are a few hits, including “You’re Making Me High,” “How Many Ways,” and “Always.”

“Un-Break My Heart” is not among the 27, and we don’t know its fate … although it looks like it’s still hers.

Footage Of DMX Passing Out In Cop Car During DUI Arrest

It’s not just the fact that he was falling in and out of sleep that makes this so damning, either. From TMZ:

[DMX] was popped in South Carolina around 3AM Friday after police determined he had been driving under the influence.

It wasn’t immediately clear whether X was busted for alcohol or some other substance — but based on the dash cam footage, it appears to have been for alcohol … and not just because X was a little sleepy.

In the footage, the cop asks X if he’s been boozing, and X says he had one drink — but later it sounds like he admits to drinking “4 or 5” (the audio is pretty bad). Despite the drinks, X insists he’s not too drunk to drive. The cop doesn’t buy it.

X was booked for DUI and hauled to a nearby station. He was released from custody roughly an hour later.
