Toni Braxton files for bankruptcy
Singer Toni Braxton, who had a string of chart-topping R&B hits in the 1990s including “Un-Break My Heart” and “You’re Makin’ Me High,” has filed for bankruptcy, according to Reuters. Court papers list Braxton’s assets as ranging from $1 million to $10 million and her debts ranging from $10 million to $50 million. This is Braxton’s second bankruptcy filing; her first was in 1998, following a split with her record label. Over the course of her career, Braxton has sold some 40 million records and won six Grammy awards. Her most recent release, Pulse, debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard charts last May, but sales of the album quickly flagged.

Bandleader Max Weinberg won't be following Conan O'Brien to TBS
Max Weinberg won’t be part of Conan O’Brien’s new late night talk show on TBS, the late night talk show host confirmed. Weinberg, also well-known for his drum work with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, served as the comedian’s bandleader on Late Night with Conan O’Brien show and The Tonight Show. In an interview with St. Louis’ Riverfront Times, musician Jimmy Vivino says that he’ll be leading the band on O’Brien’s new show, Conan, which launches on Nov. 8. Vivino played guitar and keyboards as a member of the Max Weinberg 7 on O’Brien’s shows. James Wormworth will replace Weinberg on drums.
UPDATE: Both Weinberg and Conan O’Brien have issued statements about the band leader’s departure, which they claim was “mutual.” “Max has been a huge part of my life for the past 17 years and he is an incredible band leader and musician. I hope he can find time to stop by the new show, sit in with the band, and pretend to find my monologue funny,” O’Brien said in a statement. Said Weinberg, “17 years — a lifetime on TV. Conan and I met on a New York City street corner in the Spring of 1993 and my association with Conan, his staff, and crew has been a deeply rewarding experience for me. And, making music with Jimmy Vivino, Mark Pender, La Bamba, Scott Healey, Mike Merritt, and percussionist James Wormsworth enabled me to become a better musician and bandleader. I thank them for their first-rate work on the bandstand. I wish Conan and his show the best and I do look forward to dropping by.”

Sean Combs accused of age discrimination by ex-employee
A former employee at Sean “Diddy” Combs’ Bad Boy Entertainment has accused him of age discrimination in a lawsuit filed Wednesday in New York City. Francesca Spero, 51, claims she was fired after having hip surgery and admitting to a fellow executive that she was treated for a drug dependency relapse, the AP reports. According to the lawsuit, Spero takes credit for helping to launch Combs’ career by introducing him to Russell Simmons and Uptown Records. “There are many reasons why Ms. Spero is no longer employed by Bad Boy, but age discrimination is not one of them,” a publicist for Combs told the AP.
