Dallas cops called to hotel of rapper Nicki Minaj

DALLAS

Records show police were called to a Dallas hotel after rapper Nicki Minaj argued with a friend, whom she said shoved a suitcase across her chin and lip.

An incident report says Minaj, whose real name is Onika Maraj, refused to file a police report after the Monday call. She opened a Britney Spears concert Tuesday in Dallas.

The incident report says Minaj asked a hotel employee to call police and told an officer she was sharing a room with the man with whom she was arguing. The report says she had slight bruising and the inside of her lip was cut.

In tweets Wednesday, Minaj seemed to deny reports of being hit, saying anyone who “slapped or punched” her would “leave on a stretcher.”

Minaj’s representative didn’t immediately comment.

Longoria’s Vegas nightclub closes amid money woes

LAS VEGAS

A Las Vegas nightclub owned by “Desperate Housewives” co-star Eva Longoria is temporary closing its doors amid financial troubles.

Longoria’s Beso club within the CityCenter complex on the Las Vegas Strip closed Monday to save money.

Beso LLC bankruptcy attorney Lenard Schwartzer said Wednesday that the restaurant attached to the club will remain open because it is profitable.

He says the nightclub could eventually be renovated and reopened.

Beso LLC filed in January for bankruptcy to remain operating while reorganizing nearly $5.7 million in debt. The federal Chapter 11 filing claimed the nightspot was losing more than $76,000 per month.

Longoria owns nearly one-third of the business but is also listed as an unsecured creditor.
