There have been many reports about Dr. Jan Adams, the plastic surgeon who performed surgery on Dr. Donda West, Kanye West’s mother.

The source had unearthed lawsuits against Dr. Adams. Some of the patients who sued for malpractice include Terrie Cage, Bonita Hovey and Jana Beighle. Some of the claims against Dr. Adams are about non-disclosure of his history of medical malpractice claims and judgments and false assertion about credentials.

Dr. Adams once hosted a TV show called “The Other Half”. It was about the patients’ post-surgery recoveries. He claimed that nothing would go wrong immediately after surgery but any problems would show up after some time, like after some weeks. This was kind of eerie to read. Dr. Donda West died the next day after her surgery.

Kanye West Wins Music Battle Against 50 Cent

Kanye West, Grammy award winning producer/rapper has beaten his nemesis 50 Cent to the top of the charts in one of the most hyped musical battles of the year.

The pair went head-to-head last week when their respective albums were released on the same day — but West’s third offering Graduation has taken the coveted number one position on the U.S. Billboard charts.

Graduation has sold almost one million copies since its release on September 11, making it the best debut of the year so far. 50 Cent posted sales of 691,000 for his third album Curtis, landing the rapper in second place.

50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, threatened to retire if he failed to beat West’s album sales. We’ll see if the rapper 50 Cent follows through with his threat now that it’s obvious he’s been taken out by Kanye West. His recently issued statement doesn’t mention his future career plans: “I am very excited to have participated in one of the biggest album release weeks in the last two years. Collectively, we have sold hundreds of thousands of units in our debut week. This marks a great moment for hip hop music, one that will go down in history.”

Yahoo! Personals recently conducted a poll in which they queried singles about male and female celebrity they would most like to date. Topping the list for most desired female was Jessica Alba who stars in the upcoming comedy flick Good Luck Chuck. This isn’t really much of a surprise. The sex kitten was voted In 2006 No. 1 by the readers of Askmen.com on their list of 99 Most Desirable Women, No. 2 in 2007 in Maxim Magazine’s roundup of their Top 100, and the winner of FHM’s 2007 Sexiest Woman in the World.

Jennifer Aniston, Queen Latifah, Jessica Simpson, tennis beauty Maria Sharapova, Sandra Oh and Top Chef vixen Padma Lakshmi were also top picks in the female category.

Hottie George Clooney garnered the most votes on the male list. Matthew McConaughey came in as a close second. Other stars who find themselves the object of desire by female singles were hip hop performer Kanye West, Latin singer Ricky Martin, baseball star Derek Jeter and tennis pro Andy Roddick.

Susan Mernit, Yahoo! Personals’ online dating expert, points out that part of the appeal of Clooney and Alba apart from their stunning physical appearances, could be that they have both managed to avoid scandals and maintain “a clean reputation” while living in front of the press.
