Dear Diary: Scott Storch's Trickin' > Scott Storch's Momma

Dear diary…babies are such a nice way to start people and that's probably why people have them. In addition to the aforementioned benefits, children are probably a parent's most valuable resource and the best hope for their financial future.

See, unfortunately most American's have retirement portfolios that are written in red ink, which in turn means that most Americans might spend their “Golden Years” living in poverty. But…

Say you had a son whose music catalogue was worth $70 million. The last thing you'd think you'd have to worry about is living like a poor person with lots of money. But say your son did stuff like gave heiress Paris Hilton a Maybach, purchased her a $2 million necklace and flew her to the French Riviera via private jet — at a cost of $275,000.


Or say he purchased Lil Kim a Bentley coupe and regularly tricked off millions in diamonds and cars on his various ladyfriend's including Lindsey Lohan and Kim Kardashian.

Or say he had his garage stocked with at least 13 vehicles, including a $600,000 Mercedes SLR McLaren, a $500,000 Mercedes Maybach and a $1.7 million black Bugatti Veyron — the most expensive car on the market. Or say he paid $20 million for a 125-foot yacht and purchased an 18,000-square-foot white-columned Palm Island mansion for $10.5 million.


Or… say he had a $3 million 34-carat yellow-diamond pinkie ring that crowned his personal jewelry collection, which also included a diamond watch formerly owned by Michael Jackson.


You might be nervous, but you would still think you'd be okay right?
You certainly wouldn't think that Capital One would be suing you for $5,700 owed on a credit card that you used for food and pharmacy bills. You definitely wouldn't think that the carpet in your $81,000 house would turn 36-years-old this year. You would never believe that you would have to you use your father's social security checks to pay for his medical expenses. Right?

Well if your name was Scott Storch and Yolanda Storch (Scott's mother) you'd be wrong.

That said, here's the two things I learned today from this spectacular story of excess and non-responsibility:

1. Money can buy everything…including poverty.

2. Treating you momma like sh*t ain't a good look. I'm just saying.

2-Year-Old Fatally Shot In The Head In Chicago

A 2-year-old Chicago toddler died yesterday after being shot in the head while sitting in the car with her family.

Little Cynia Cole better known as “Co-Co”, succumbed to her injury Thursday after a gunman fired a single shot into the trunk of the family's vehicle.

Police believe the gunman, identified only as 21-year-old man with a record of guns and drugs, was aiming for the girl's father who they say had ties to a local gang.

Around 11 p.m. yesterday Co-co, her two younger sisters, father and mother stopped at a local residence on the Southside of Chicago so the mother could pick up cigarettes.

After the mother left the vehicle, the gunman appeared soon after and fired the fatal shot that traveled through the trunk into the back seat and into the child's head.

The girl was taken to a local hospital where she later died.

The gunman has since turned himself in.

50 Cent To Track His Slave Roots In Upcoming VH-1 Documentary

50 Cent has teamed up with VH-1 to give fans a glimpse of his family history.

The “Rock Doc,” which is being produced in conjunction with 50 Cent and Roadside Entertainment, is part of the substantial new programming VH1 is unveiling for 2010 which was inspired by the networks viewers.

"They told us that they want to connect even more with our characters, our artists and our celebrities – but in a more genuine way,” said Tom Calderone, President of VH1.

The VH1 “Rock Dock” titled 50's Roots, will feature 50 Cent as he heads to the deep South in search of his family's slave lineage. 50's Roots will also showcase the Queens-bred emcee meeting with family members, while attempting to trace his ancestral heritage.

The new programming reflects a study VH1 conducted, to gain insight into what viewers of the network actually wanted to see.

“They still enjoy VH1's signature sense of fun and irreverence,” Calderone continued. “They also want more storylines that reflect the issues and challenges they are experiencing in their own lives.”

As of press time an airdate for 50's Roots was not available.

Curtis please don't fu*k this up and send us back as a race some 500 years.

We got faith in you though.
