producer with Entertainment Tonight.

I'm trying to reach Officer Nicol.

We're doing a piece on Noni and what

happened to her earlier this evening.

Next message.

This is Emery Holmes with the LA Times.

One of us didn't show up...

The number one...

She's on a roll with three

number one hits with rapper Kid Culprit,

and a Billboard Award

tonight for top song.

But is Noni a casualty

of her own success?

Earlier this evening,

witnesses report she was hanging

off the balcony of her luxury suite

at the Sofitel Hotel in Beverly Hills.

Following the incident,

Noni made a statement

at a press conference at the hotel.

I was celebrating

and things got a little out of hand.

So, let this be a lesson to all of you.

Never mix champagne,

a balcony and five-inch stilettos.

Excessive drinking is no joke and I just

wanna apologize to ail my young fans.

I hear you,

and they're listening to you.

So, how are things otherwise?

You're a Billboard winner.

- I know, right?

- Right.

My first album drops in a couple

of weeks, and it's bananas.

I can't wait for the world to hear it.

And rumor has it that it could be

the biggest debut by a female artist,

even with the decline of album sales.

You know, that would be amazing,

but really, I just wanna sing.

Well, good luck with everything.

Very scary stuff.

We're glad it all

turned out OK for you.

- Thanks.

And we're clear.

Great.

- Have you seen the hashtags?

- Oh, yeah, stay off Twitter.

Just wanna push mainstream media

and stay out in front of that.

Right, we've got Ellen

in 45 minutes.

Hello?

Yeah.

No, I mean, if you...

If you just do

what I told you...

No. No.

You're making it seem like

I'm asking you to split the atom.

Just don't use that word.

What'd they offer you?

What do you mean?

Autographed picture? Porsche?

Whatever it is, I get half,

seeing how it is my gig.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Wait a minute. Turn around.

Come on, take a picture.

Come on, smile for the camera.

There we go.

Hey, come on, guys.

Let's show a little respect.

Thank you. Thank you.

- All right.

Hey! Whoa!

Come on, don't you like that?

- This is you?

- Man...

- You know.

- OK, OK, enough. Thank you.

How did you do that?

Hello, ladies.

Liam, we've been waiting

for 40 minutes.

I apologize.

This is supposed to be

a strategy meeting. Where's everyone?

We're holding off

on releasing the album.

- What?

- Why?

I didn't snow you,

so don't snow me, all right?

She got drunk.

She did something stupid.

So did Britney, so did Kanye.

You want me to give you a list?

The blogs are all saying

"suicide attempt".

Of course they are. So?

So?

Noni is supposed to be the girl
