WHOA

Look at all 3 of these beautiful women!! Definitely great eye candy but who would you rather be with?

What New With American Idol?

First Simon Cowell is leaving American Idol and there still has not been a replacement announced, but now Ellen Degeneres has decided to leave after only one season of being on the show. Ellen has said that she told the producers months ago that the show didn't seem like the right fit for her. Also her schedule has become more than what she bargained for. She enjoyed being on the show but at the same time she didn't like always having to judge people and sometimes hurt their feelings.

The first person on the list as a replacement for Ellen is Jennifer Lopez. I know that it is a singing show and not everybody thinks that she can sing but she did good enough to have 4 albums with plenty of sales. Maybe this will shoot the ratings up even more because she is a well known name. This might be a good idea for the show. Also it depends on who is going to be the replacement for Simon and if there will be chemistry between the judges. The last news from Idol is that Kara DioGuardi has probably been fired.

That is a lot of changes for the show. Hopefully none of the changes hurt the show. What do you think?

What Happened?

I guess Lawrence Fishburne's 19 year old daughter Montana doesn't get enough attention because she is now starring in a porno. She wants to break into Hollywood but I would just ask dad for help not by doing a porn.

According to TMZ:

Montana Fishburne is starring in a hardcore sextape for Vivid Entertainment. This is what Montana had to say:

"I've watched how successful Kim Kardashian became and I think a lot of it was due to the release of her sex tape."

Wow really you want to get into the business that way? Look at who your dad is just get his help!

Give your thoughts on this.

Snoop Dogg Threatened By Oklahoma Crips

Snoop did an interview with DJ Lantern in 2009 and this is what has caused a group of Crips to get upset with the rapper.

In the interview he discussed the gang culture outside of Los Angeles and how it could disastrously affect those who are participating.

"Gang life has dramatically changed in L.A," said snoop. "In California we are playing by a different set of rules and regulations, so all these cats out here throwing up their flag and reppin' need to be careful because that could end up real bad for them."

Obviously the Crips didn't like that too much so they issued a video statement to let Snoop know that he better "reach out" to correct this.

"Snoop I'm giving you a temporary pass," the Crip said. " You need to give me a call, your concert is tomorrow and if you don't call me, I can't be held responsible."

Well it doesn't seem like that threat went very far because Snoop's concert went off without a hitch!!!

Chris Tucker Realizes He Needs To Do Something

Remember how we told you that Chris Tucker owes the IRS $11 million in back taxes? Well it looks like he is trying to sell his house in Florida for $4 million less than he pad for it just so that he can get some money.

The house is 8,861 square feet, 5 bedroom, 5 full and 3 half baths, located in Monteverde, FL. He is selling the house for $2 million and he purchased it for $6 million in 2007. At least he is trying to do something to pay the IRS.

Diddy On The Cover Of VIBE

Sons of Anarchy SOA Season 3

SONS OF ANARCHY

I don't know if you guys watch Sons Of Anarchy but I definitely do and if you don't you should start. This show is awesome!!! I am really excited for Season 3 to start. It will be on FX Tuesday Sept. 7th. Don't miss out on this show.

I also wanted to point out how this show has been on air for 3 seasons and not one of the actors from the show have been interviewed about the show. We do not see these actors in the limelight. Honestly I feel that helps add to the show because most shows out there you see all the stars everywhere and know everything about them. I don't know if there is a contract stating that they can't do interviews or talk about the show but keep it up it really helps with the suspense of the show.

Acting Can Kill

50 Cent drops over 50-pounds for his new film "Things Fall Apart." He has been in different movies before but had never shown this dedication. So he must be taking acting seriously now. That goes to show what people will do for a role. 50 lost 54 pounds going from 214 pounds to 160 pounds by going on a liquid diet and 3 hour treadmill walks for nine weeks.

According to Thisis50,Curtis stated, "I was starving." Now he is back on tour and says, "I've been eating. I'll be back in shape in no time."

A friend of the rapper's who died of cancer inspired "Things Fall Apart."

$7 Million Settlement For Being Shot To Death By Police

Sean Bell was an unarmed man that was killed by police when they shot at his car 50 times in 2006. New York City agreed on Tuesday to pay $7 million. His fiancee and a friend that survived the shooting said that the settlement was fair but not cause for celebration.

"Nobody wins in this", Joseph Guzman -- who was shot 17 times and still wears a leg brace -- said at a news conference the day after the settlement was announced. The deal in a case that upset the community and made them question police firepower awards $3.25 million to the estate of Sean Bell, $3 million to Guzman and $900,000 to a third victim, Trent Benefield.

The $3.25 million payout will benefit the two young daughters of Sean Bell that he had with fiancee, Nichole Paultre Bell, who legally took his name after his death. Nichole called the settlement "reasonable." But, she added, the girls "will never have their father."

Come On Already...This Is Getting Out Of Control

I understand that stars make a lot of money and maybe sometimes it is easy to forget to pay the right amount of taxes. Pay a CPA to do your taxes for you instead of letting it get out of control. First off we have Wesley Snipes going to jail for not paying taxes and Nicolas Cage is in a world of hurt because of not paying taxes. Now we can add another celebrity to the mix.

Chris Tucker is now in trouble with the IRS for not paying his taxes. Yesterday the Internal Revenue Service filed documents with the L.A. County Recorder's Office stating that Chris owes $11,571,909.26 in federal taxes for the years 2001, 2002 and 2004 through 2006.

This is how much he didn't pay each year:

2001 - $4,007,794.34

2002 - $5,060,074.23

2004 - $55,544.84

2005 - $660,414.94

2006 - $1,788,080.91

This crazy!!! Take a look he actually paid taxes in 2003. Don't get me wrong I think that Chris is great but I don't think that stars should let stuff like this go. As we see the IRS doesn't let things slide. It's better to pay what you are supposed to yearly then in one huge lump sum like this.

I guess Chris better get out there and get more jobs. Maybe he can get another Rush Hour done.

Breaking News

Terrell Owens has agreed to terms with the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals will pay Owens a guaranteed $2 million in 2010, with another possible $2 million in incentives. The St. Louis Rams showed interest in the 36-year-old receiver but decided against signing him on Monday.

In Cincinnati, Owens won't have to be the No. 1 receiver, but he will be able to team up and make a great balanced offense for Cincinnati. He will team with Chad Ochocinco to provide the first receiver rotation in NFL with two reality shows on the air at the same time.

I wonder if Chad is happy about this since they have been hanging out a lot on each other's shows.

This is what Chad had to say about it:

"Terrell Owens is officially a Cincinnati Bengal, Cincy let's welcome him with open arms, it's on now."

"Bruh congrats now get your ass down here so we can make a game plan over some McDonald's."

Congratulations T.O. at getting signed with the Bengals. Good luck this season.

Former Oakland Raider NFL Safety Jack Tatum Dies

Jack Tatum, the former all-pro safety for the Oakland Raiders has passed away at age 61.

Tatum is best known for his hit that paralyzed Darryl Stingley in an NFL preseason game in 1978.

R.I.P

Rihanna Is Gonna Try Her Hand At The Big Screen

Rihanna will transfer over to the big screen to see how well she can act very soon. It has been announced that her first film is going to be an action film called Battleship, due out next spring via Universal Pictures.

According to Variety Magazine the deal was announced yesterday. Rihanna will be working with "True Blood" actor Alexander Skarsgard and Taylor Kitsch from "Friday Night Lights", with Peter Berg directing. This film is based off of Hasbro's popular navel board game and is expected to begin production soon.

The action film is set on land, at sea and in the skies as the characters battle to save the planet from a strong adversary. Kitsch takes the lead as a navel officer in charge of combat, while Skarsgard plays his brother.

This film is scheduled to be released May 25 2012.

So do you think this is the right role for Rihanna's first time on the big screen? Do you think that they should have picked somebody else for this role?

No Matter If Her Man Left Or Not She Still Looks HOT!!!!

Christina Milian may have been done bad by her husband The Dream but she still looks great! Actually I have always thought that she was too pretty for him. She could do WAAYY better. She has a cute little girl and you wouldn't even be able to tell that she had a baby not too long ago.

She was seen out kickin it with Serena Williams and having a great time. If you take a look she lost that dead beats ring. She has a tattoo on that finger but it is definitely NOT a wedding ring.

Good Luck Christina! Get you a better man than what you had!

Kim Kardashian Begs Not To Go Under The Knife From Head To Toe

Well Kim Kardasian has a strange effect on people. She pleaded with a fan not to get surgery from head to toe to look like her. A Twitter user that goes by the name of "wishiwaskim", tweeted last Saturday that she is going under the knife.

"I'm getting head to toe plastic surgery next week to look like Kim Kardashian so my husband won't leave me," the woman wrote. "He worships Kim." Kim responded immediately with an empathic, "NO." She tried to encourage the woman to be proud of who she is. "Please don't," Kim continued. "Your husband should love you for who you are! Don't try to be someone else. I'm sure you are beautiful inside and out! Just as you are."

Kim also told her that she doesn't have to change who she is for anybody else. Definitely not for a man to stick around. "Don't change yourself for anybody but yourself...be happy with who you are! Someone will appreciate and adore you just as you are," she concluded.

So people are ridiculous with what they will do for the opposite sex. I would like to know if you would go under the knife to keep that person in your life around? Also I that this is the reason stars shouldn't go under the knife either because people do still look up to them and wonder why they cant look like so they do the same thing.

DIDDY DID IT!!!!

So you know how Diddy likes to promote his businesses right? Well his promotions has Bad Boy Entertainment facing legal actions for illegally putting posters up around the city. Putting up theses posters left the city a bill of $996,000 that has reportedly yet to be paid. There are others doing the same thing that is making the bill even higher this amount is just for Diddy.

According to the New York Daily News, Finance Commissioner David Frankel is fed up with Diddy and the several other people that account for the city's billion dollar debt.

He tells NYDN,

"We are going to find these people. We're going to turn them upside down by their ankles and we're going to shake them until the money comes out of their pockets."

Bad Boy says that this bill is a "bureaucratic error", and tells the NYDN that it was "paid by a partner company three years ago but the city hasn't updated the record."

A city spokesman said that their lawyers are reviewing the issue.

Doug E. Fresh and Remy Ma's are also being investigated for their unpaid bills.

BP's CEO Hayward Leaving

Supposedly in October Tony Hayward BP's CEO will be stepping down to take a job in similar field in Russia. The details are not confirmed yet but as of now he is leaving. The person that looks to take his place is Bob Dudley. Maybe this was just to much for him to handle since he has made plenty of mistakes since the oil spill in April in the Gulf started. For instance he said that he would like his life back when Gulf residents struggled to deal with the spill. At that point Bob Dudley had to step in to be the face of BP.

I wonder if he is leaving on his own or if there are other factors involved in the decision to leave. We shall see. In New York, BP shares rose almost 5 percent Monday as the stock market anticipated a formal announcement about Hayward. Shares of BP PLC rose $1.82, or 4.9 percent, to $38.68 in midday trading in New York. BP shares closed up 4.6 percent Monday at 416.95 pence in London.

I feel that they way BP has handled the spill in the Gulf has been ridiculous. What do you think? Give me your thoughts.

So What's New With Alicia Keys

Well when Alicia Keys split from long time manager Jeff Robinson she said that it was mutual and no love lost. But then there were rumors of her fiancee Swizz Beatz not liking the percentage that Jeff was taking so he told her to dump him. Necole Bitchie talked to Jeff's people to get their side of the story and this is what they had to say:

"That story is 100% false. Jeff Robinson was like a father figure to Alicia Keys. They never had a contract. It was a huge deal because Jeff lovers her like she was his own kid! This whole article reeks of damage control and its obvious. How can you rip someone off when you don't have a contract and they can walk away whenever they want?"

So first she sleeps with a married man, then gets pregnant, then announces her wedding to him, then fires her long time manager. It sounds to me like she was trying to do damage control where ever she could and since she isn't leaving her man she tried it this way. In my opinion she shouldn't mix business with pleasure again. Just because Swizz Beatz is in the same industry that doesn't mean he knows everything that is right for her career. She has had a very successful career without his advise. Why take it now and get rid of someone that was there for you when you first started. He helped her become who she is today!!!! What do you guys think?

Really Come On Now BEYONCE

So you all know that Beyonce just recently got her drivers license right? Why is it that she got busted last month in New York City for driving and texting. Well she tried to play it off like she wasn't aware that was illegal since she just got her license. Come on now B you should know better than that. I know your a superstar and beautiful but that is just common sense. Please use it! Apparently the cop didn't buy it because he gave her $100 fine.

What do you think about stars trying to use their star power to get out of trouble? Don't get me wrong I think she's great but don't do that when you get caught doing something wrong. Just own up to it. It's not like she would go to jail or can't afford the fine.

Irv Gotti on Nicki Minaj

So Irv Gotti was interviewed in VIBE magazine here is what he has to say about Nicki Minaj:

"The world has yet to see the best of Nicki Minaj. What she's delivering to the world now is basically what they want. But I know that she's a super talented superstar who can do anything at a high level -- rap, sing, act, whatever she wants to do. This is just the beginning of Nicki Minaj. Her best is yet to come. In my opinion she is as talented as my other girl Lauryn Hill. They have completely different styles. But as far as the talent is concerned they both can do it all. Nicki just isn't showing it yet 'cause she doesn't want to. But world be prepared 'cause she's the truth!

Dang ok I agree Nicki Minaj has talent but do you agree that she is just as talented as Lauryn Hill? Or is it just because Nicki stands out and makes herself known? What do you guys think? Give me your opinions on this. I'm not hatin' I am just not sure that she can be compared to Lauryn Hill yet, but I may be wrong Irv Gotti is the producer. And who knows if Nicki would have the career she is having now if it wasn't for Lil Wayne. Give me your thoughts.

Jeremy Piven Hits RIDICULOUS Trick Shot

This is CRAZY! I didn't think that he could make it from where he is but watch this craziness.

LeBrons Decision

LeBron James' so called 'Decision' ...let's just say it didn't hit the mark like some thought it did.

Do you remember when LeBron took over the television and held you captive to let you know he was taking his talents to South Beach? A wasted hour out of your life that could have taken thirty seconds to say. Well it looks like ESPN was just as annoyed as the rest of america who had to sit through that bullsh*t of a special. Don Ohlmeyer, ESPN's person of journalistic matters graded the special and gave LeBron a big fat a$s F!! After a few weeks Ohlmeyer wrote his final verdict on the shuck and jive parade known as the 'Decision.' He didn't hold back either on what he thought of ESPN and LeBron.

How Precious: Kim Is Still Supporting Reggie

After all the floozies, new men and the bullsh*t, Kim Kardashian is still supporting Reggie Bush:

As Reggie Bush's Heisman Trophy was removed from Heritage Hall yesterday, his ex-girlfriend, Kim Kardashian, has nothing but compassion for the NFL star. Kim actually feels sorry for her former boyfriend as he faces the likelihood that he could lose his Heisman trophy for violating the NCAA rules during his college career at USC. Kim told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM show Thursday that while she hasn't talked to her ex lately, she feels that she knows what he is going through. And while some women might find satisfaction in seeing their ex-flame suffer through an ordeal like this, Kim feels bad for his situation.

Kim stated: "I'm sure he's going through a really hard time and knowing the type of person he is, I'm sure that he would do anything in his power to make it up to the school...and the kid's playing there now who are ineligible to play in the championships." As Reggie copes with this difficult situation, Kim is enjoying her life as a single woman. Although romantically linked to Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Miles Austin, Kim claims that she is single. She told Seacrest that she is just having fun right now.

Poor Reggie.

Darke's Album "Thank Me Later" Has Gone Certified Platinum in 5 Weeks Selling 846,082 Copies

Drake is not officially Platinum status but he's almost there with selling an estimated 846,082 albums according to the numbers we came across.

Now that is out of the way... Drake is getting ready for another headlining tour sponsored by AT&T called "The Light Dreams and Nightmares Tour". Drake's opening act is the "Clipse" from Virginia and tour is scheduled so far 11 dates.

Prosecutors Want Wesley Snipes To Go Directly To Jail

Prosecutors are demanding Wesley Snipes bail be revoked and that the movie star is sent to prison immediately for failing to file tax returns. Last Friday officials in Atlanta, Georgia appeals court upheld a judge's decision to put Snipes behind bars for three years on federal tax charges, however a date for Snipes' surrender wasn't discussed and the correctional facility where he'll do the time is yet to be revealed. Snipes was previously free on bail pending the outcome of the appeal.

Yesterday prosecutors filed a motion opposing Snipes' bail, stating, "There is no good reason to delay his surrender."

The star's attorney, Daniel Meachum, insists he will respond to the filed documents soon.

A jury originally convicted Snipes on three misdemeanor counts of willful failure to file his income tax returns in 2008..

Looks like its slammer time for Wesley...Poor Thing.

Flying donkey shocks beachgoers in Russia's south

Police in southern russia will launch a probe into an initiative by local entrepreneurs who sent a a donkey into the sky on a parachute in an advertising stunt. The official spokesman for the local directorate of the Interior Ministry told reporters that the parachuting donkey incident took place last Thursday on an Azov Sea beach in the Temryk District in Krasnodar.

"They gave this donkey a parachute ride in order to attract holidaymakers' attention to this sort of entertainment. The para sailing donkey brayed and the children cried, but no one was smart enough to inform the police about the incident, "RIA Novosti news agency quoted the official as saying Monday. The police will launch a probe and if the entrepreneurs are found guilty, they could face criminal persecution under the article on cruel treatment of animals of the Russian Criminal Code, which carries a maximum punishment of two years in prison.

Tashera Simmons Announces Seperation From DMX

Tashera Simmons is announcing her separation from rapper DMX.

Tashera, who recently revealed plans to to release a memoir of her life with the New York rapper, has officially separated from X and plans to star in a reality show to chronicle her life without her famous husband. The reality show is reportedly being shopped to several networks and tentatively titled "Tashera Simmons...Life After X."

More details on the reality show are forthcoming.

As previously reported, Simmons is collaborating with author Aiya S. King for her memoir, Tashera Simmons...Strength of A Woman.

The Simmons matriarch has released a statement of her upcoming book saying,

"It's not a tell-all, I want to clear that up. It's a memoir, it's a story about our life, my life, and our life together...I think reading my book, it explains everything. I'm talking about everything, from my childhood when I was abandoned by my mother and left to take care of my siblings, to when me and Earl(DMX) first met at 11 and we got together at 18 and I'm starting from there until then on...It's a positive tell all."

X was just released from prison after serving 4 months of a 6 month sentence for probation violation.

Hopefully they settle their differences peacefully and don't end up like Nas and Kelis...

I don't know about you but this all sounds a little convenient. She couldn't stick with him but now she is writing a Positive Tell All when she said it wasn't even a tell-all. What do you think?

Nelson Mandela

Here is the original photo from when Nelson Mandela wed Winnie Madikizela back in 1958.

In other news his grandchildren were held at gunpoint after his 92nd birthday party:

Nelson Mandela's daughter and grandchildren were held up by gunmen after returning from the former South African president's 92nd birthday party, it emerged today. Mr. Mandela's daughter, Zindzi Mandela, and her children were attacked by two men as they arrived by car in the driveway of their home in Johannesburg. They were ordered to lie down, but then the men decided to leave. However, they returned and searched the group, but then one of the men suddenly fired a shot. The victim's driver returned fire and the men, both said to be black, fled.

No one was hurt in the exchange on Sunday.

Magic Johnson is also not impressed with LeBron James

Apparently there is a new trend in the NBA --retired legends turned team owners speaking out about LeBron James' signing with the Miami Heat. It's the sweetest thing to do this summer, cool dudes and dudettes.

First, Michael Jordan said there was "no way" he would have ever joined forces with two other superstars to chase a championship. Now, one of those guys that Jordan said he never would have linked up with is doing the same.

From Bloomberg News' Barry Rothbard:

Basketball Hall of Famer Magic Johnson said he never would have joined with Larry Bird to win a championship the way LeBron James is teaming with Dwyane Wade.

"We didn't think about it because that's not what we were about," said Johnson, whose Michigan State squad beat Bird's Indiana State team in the 1979 National Collegiate Athletic Association championship. "From college, I was trying to figure out how to beat Larry Bird."

Johnson's comments came during an interview Tuesday morning at Baruch College in New York, and they're just more proof that LeBron James' decision isn't sitting well across the league. Either they'll serve as motivation for the two-time MVP to prove the haterz wrong, or letting down his idles with damage James' confidence, sending him into a funk. Considering he announced his free-agent decision in an hour long special, I'm thinking the confidence will be doing just fine.

Of course, the only logical move now is for someone to find out what Larry Bird thinks about LeBron James' teaming up with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. Sure, he might not own the Pacers, but he's got a high-level job with the team. That's good enough. The being-a-legend thing helps too.

Whale's Incredible Jump

Ralph Mothes and Paloma Werner of Cape Town Sailing Academy in South Africa are old hands when it comes to expeditions of the open seas. But there's no way they could have anticipated Sunday's wildlife encounter when they set out for a routine sail near Robben Island: A 40-ton whale leaped out of the sea and landed on the deck of their boat, the London Daily Telegraph reports. Luckily, Mothes and Werner came out alive, as did the whale.

Evander Holyfield's Son Arrested for Drug Possesion

According to Atlanta Journal Constitution, Evander Holyfield's 20-year-old son Ewin Ezekiel Holyfield, was arrested Saturday by Peachtree City police after "marijuana"was located in several areas throughout the vehicle," according to a police report.

Officers also reported finding a bag of small, white pills.

The younger Holyfield was also charged with driving with a suspended license, an expired tag and with defective tires. I guess the checks did stop coming in. Young Holyfield was booked into the Fayette County Jail and released Sunday on a $2,726 bond.

Eminem and Rihanna On The Set Of: "Love The Way You Lie"

Eminem and Rihanna are in L.A. shooting the video for their new song "Love The Way You Lie". Rihanna and her kool-aid hair and Eminem with all his tattoo art work took a minute from working to pose for the camera.

It's funny how Rihanna would have normally been one of the people that Eminem would have made fun of back in the day.

Diddy In GQ Magazine

Diddy always seems to get himself caught up in some wild predicaments but this one picture for the upcoming issue of GQ that is just priceless. In 'Diddy: On Record" with Fuse, he speaks on how he would have been a king pin and the influence of his mother.

On finding out his father was murdered and was one of Harlem's leading drug dealers:

"I had looked up my father's name, and I saw an article about my mother wearing a full length chinchilla to a funeral and taking me, and I was in a mink, and the story was of glamour and the decadence of our family, and how he was the kingpin of Harlem, and how he had got assassinated. I understood why my mother didn't tell me the truth because where I was living, I probably would have been one of the biggest drug dealers out there. The type of person I am, I would have wanted to follow in my father's footsteps."

On his mother being a big influence:

"My mother is why I am, who I am today. People can say what they want to say, but I just represent being sucker free, working hard and being positive. I don't hate on nobody, I'm not a negative individual. I just wake up and I go for mine and I try to work the hardest I can work. I could have gone a lot of different routes, but I decided to go the route of hard work."

On the motivation to continue after all his success:

"The motivation is to be better. There's room for improvement for me as a recording artist, even as a producer, as a man, as a mogul. It's not even about greed or 'when will he stop?' because I'm just not going to. I'm not going to stop, probably ever. It's a love; it's not money because the money has been achieved."

On his biggest business mistake:

"I think one of my biggest business mistakes was not realizing that not everybody wasn't like me. Everybody didn't have the drive and determination; everybodys just not built for that. I think that some people need more time, and more nurturing... I mean artists that I've had. I've gotten older, I've become a little bit more nurturing and I've been a little more patient."

John Gotti's Grandson Puts Ricky Rozay On Blast

Rick Ross may have been embraced by Larry Hoover Jr., but John Gotti's grandson isn't feeling him using his grandfather's hard-earned "Teflon Don" nickname for his new album title.

"My grandfather paid his dues for that nickname. That was my grandfather's life," Agnello said. John Gotti was dubbed the "Teflon Don" after winning acquittal after acquittal in the 1980s. He was finally convicted of murder and racketeering in 1992.

"He should have asked for permission. A standup, respectable guy would come and ask 'If I could use the nickname,'" Agnello said of Ross. "I think he is a great artist, but you can't just start calling yourself that just to sell records ...He wants to go for that whole image, but hey, be yourself."

"Only in America can you go from being a corrections officer to calling yourself Teflon Don," Agnello said, noting Ross' former career.

Nicki Minaj - Your Love

Nicki Minaj is doing her part to capitalize on the popularity of her current single "Your Love" by releasing a video to accompany it. While the song isn't a complete departure from her signature Yabba Dabba Doo Steez, it's clear she's finally found something that is sticking with her audience.

Michael Jai White this is very nice. I like the concept behind this one. Huge improvement over "Massive Attack".

What do you think? Give me your opinion.

Chilli Speaks on Usher's Dirty Dog Ways And Usher Claims He Married Tameka Because She Understood His World

Usher's VH1 Behind The Music episode recently aired giving all the in between details on his relationships with Chilli and Tameka Foster. If Usher never messed up with Chili then she wouldn't be trying to figure out what she wants and then Tameka Foster would have never been one of the most hated women in the world.

Usher on his relationship with Chilli:

I basically was settled, I wanted to be with this woman and wanted to do whatever I could to make her happy. I actually talked about marriage and it didn't work. I don't think she was ready for it. What I expected and wanted from her she wasn't able to give me at the time.

Why Chilli didn't want to get married:

I was just exhausted from all the bull crap that I had went through before. So I had defense mechanisms all around me. I was just nervous and didn't want to get hurt.

Usher cheats and Chilli breaks down:

I never thought of him cheating. I just didn't expect anything like that from him because of how much we loved each other but I just kept hearing about it so I went to him and asked him, and he admitted it. I felt like a fool. I felt like I was tricked. I felt like everyone knew something that I didn't and I am just now finding out. i just shut down completely. I just shut everything out because that was the way that I could cope with it.

Usher speaks on what drew him to Tameka:

We started out working together. We built a bond that I felt was very healthy. I felt that she not only understood my world but she understood how to be in it.

Who Is Selita Ebanks Kickin It With?

Selita Ebanks and Maxwell were seen side by side having some laughs and a good time. Wonder if he has convinced her to throw her panties his way like all the ladies tend to do at his concerts???

Dolphins Defensive End Hit With Felony Charges For Beating Pregnant Girlfriend

Miami's 300+ pound defensive end Phillip Merling has been charged with felony battery after being arrested in May for beating his pregnant girlfriend. Phillip Merling, 25, was initially arrested May 27 at his home in Weston. At the time of his arrest, Broward Sheriff's Office noted that he either knew or should have known the woman was pregnant. Authorities accuse Merling of hitting the woman in the face and head, causing her lip to bleed. She was two months pregnant with their second child. The Broward State Attorney's Office filed the charge against Merling Friday, July 16.

Merling's attorney has already entered a not guilty plea for the charge. Felony battery carries a sentence of up to 15 years in prison and a fine up to $10,000. The NFL also could punish Merling for violating the league's personal-conduct policy. Merling, who is 6-foot-5 and 305 lbs had 33 tackles and 2 1/2 sacks for the Dolphins last season. Merling is the second member of the Dolphins to be arrested and charged with battery against a female during the 2010 off season. Teammate Tony McDaniel was arrested in February on the charge of domestic battery against girlfriend Alaina Smith which allegedly occurred in the driveway of his Broward County Florida residence. The case has yet to be tried.

What the fu*k is wrong with the dudes??? There's no damn reason to put your hands on a female and hitting a pregnant woman in the face when your 6'5 and over 300 lbs is beyond excessive. This is inexcusable.

Dwyane Wade says Forget What Michael Jordan Is Talking About... We Put Together A Great Team

Dwyane Wade is on the way to his next ring and feels that the world is not giving the Miami Heat any credit for putting together a great team. Wade feels that the roster his team is rocking with the upcoming season is priceless, so all the hate that the franchise and Lebron James is receiving is not necessary.

“The biggest thing is experience. I think experience is underrated in this league sometimes,” Wade said. “You just can’t put a price on it. The last few years, we were a young team, and now we’re a veteran team up and down the roster. That’s the biggest thing we gained. And that’s key.”

“He (Riley) had the final say, but there was constant communication with Coach Riley. I was always giving my thoughts on guys who we knew would be out there,” Wade said. “We wanted guys who would understand what we’ll deal with, from the outside. Inside the locker room, we wanted character guys, and not necessarily the best talent. We were looking for guys who could check their ego for a great cause, and I think we’ve gotten that.”

“We’re going to be wearing a bullseye. But that’s what you play for,” Wade said. “We enjoy the bullseye. Plus, there’s going to be times when we lose 2-3 games in a row, and it seems like the world has crashed down. You all (media) are going to make it seem like the World Trade is coming down again, but it’s not going to be nothing but a couple basketball games.

“When the schedule comes out, people will be looking for the Lakers and Heat, to see when they play us. I feel like I’m a new player in Miami. That’s how excited I am.”

Michael Jordan Takes A Shot At King James

His Airness Michael Jordan recently gave his opinion on LeBron James' decision to join forces with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh, and it wasn't exactly positive. In an interview after playing in a charity golf event in Nevada, Jordan questioned LeBron James' decision to join the Miami Heat after seven years in Cleveland.

"There's no way, with hindsight, I would've ever called up Larry, called up Magic and said, 'Hey, look, let's get together and play on one team. But that's ... things are different. I can't say that's a bad thing. It's an opportunity these kids have today. In all honesty, I was trying to beat those guys."

Jordan won six titles with the Chicago Bulls, before moving on to play for the Wizards and work in their front office. He now is the majority owner of the Charlotte Bobcats. His good friend and former NBA great, Charles Barkley, bashed the move earlier in the week to the Arizona Republic.

"Mike and I are in 100 percent agreement on this. If you're the two-time defending NBA MVP, you don't leave anywhere. They come to you. That's ridiculous. I like LeBron. He's a great player. But I don't think in the history of sports you can find a two-time defending MVP leaving to go play with other people."

I think it's hilarious that Jordan said he'd never have done it, but then tried to neutralize the comment by saying "I can't say it's a bad thing" while Charles made sure to let the world know that Mike agrees with him that LeBron's move was "ridiculous."

Clearly the NBA vets hold a different philosophy than BronBron and his Heatmates ... Only time will tell who is right...

Does Nick Cannon Shoot Blanks?

Trying to make babies might be harder than making good music for Mariah and Nick. The couple has been making that bed rock in the hopes of having twins. Star Magazine is reporting that Ms. Piggy and her cornball husband are trying their best to conceive.

Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey are hoping to double their fun! The America's Got Talent host, 29, tells Star that he and the missus would love to leap into first-time parenting by having twins. "That would be cool, really cool. We'll just knock it out all at once," he says, adding that the couple will be happy "whatever the sex is." Although the 41-year-old pop star has been visiting fertility specialists and had IVF treatments in a bid to conceive, "Mariah is not pregnant," Nick confirms. "The timing has to be right. But I can't wait to be a dad!"

Karma Is Crazy

Jason Green, the EMT who allegedly ignored a dying pregnant woman because he was on his "lunch break" is now dead:

An FDNY emergency medical technician accused of ignoring a dying pregnant woman while on his break late last year was shot to death early Sunday near a tony SoHo nightclub, police said.

A gunman hopped out of a car and pumped two bullets into Jason Green, 32, moments after he and a pal were turned away by a bouncer at Greenhouse, police sources said. Police brass said there was no indication Greens's slaying -- which came after a street brawl -- was tied to his callous refusal to help Eutisha Rennix as she lay gasping for air on the floor of an Au Bon Pain near FDNY headquarters in December.

He and fellow EMT and girlfriend Melisa Jackson were being probed by the Brooklyn DA for ignoring pleas from Rennix's co-workers inside the downtown Brooklyn eatery. Green's killing sparked rampant speculation within FDNY ranks that it was payback -- and cops briefly sent a squad car to Jackson's family home in Queens. Green and a pal got into a fight with another man -- or group of men -- after Greenhouse refused them entry.

All hell broke loose near Vandam and Hudson Sts. Green was declared dead shortly after he arrived at New York Downtown Hospital. He was off duty at the time. His friend was not injured. Green and Jackson, 23, were hit with a one-month, unpaid suspension for abandoning Rennix, 25, despite pleas from her co-workers at the shop inside the Metrotech complex.

The pair instead allegedly advised that someone call 911. The Rennix family said it was shocked to hear that Green had been gunned down.

Wow R.I.P. to both Rennix and Green.

Whoopi Goldberg defends Mel Gibson's racist rant

All week long, Whoopi Goldberg has been defending her "friend" Mel Gibson on "The View," and today was no different. Despite near-daily releases by Radar Online of audio tapes allegedly featuring Gibson saying extremely offensive things to his ex-girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva. Goldberg is still sticking by the troubled actor and director.

Goldberg was blasted by critics when she came to Gibson's defense on Monday's show, saying she knew him and didn't think he was racist. This opinion didn't sit well with many "View" watchers, who called in to the show to complain. Each day, Goldberg addressed the matter, stressing that while she didn't condone what Gibson did(she called him a "bonehead"), she still didn't believe him to be racist saying, "Being a black woman, you'd think you would give me a little bit of leeway to have some feelings if I was around a racist." The expletive-filled rants included threats of violence, racial slurs, and misogynistic curses.

Today, Goldberg stuck to her guns, but changed tactics, suggesting the calls were recorded with professional recording equipment. She also questioned why Oksana Grigorieva didn't just call the police rather than record Gibson, suggesting that the police would be on her side because of Gibson's past dustups with the LAPD.

Dawn From Dirty Money Says No To Marrying Her Soulmate Que

Que, former member of Day 26, decided to propose to Dawn Richards of Dirty Money via twitter. For the past two weeks, no one knew Dawn's response until now and apparently it wasn't a "YES"!!!

"He talked about it to me but I didn't know he was gonna do that. I fell that's between him and I but I'm happy that he's happy with me and that's all I will say about that... You guys will know soon enough. Right now, I think Qwanell is such a loving person that he just wants to tell the world all the time what goes on between me and him and that was a surprise to me and I love him for that. But I'm more of a private person. You guys will find out when it's time. I do love him and I do think he's my soul mate."

Now that is what you call a polite let down. On another, check out Dawn and Kaleena's behind the scenes shoot for the cover of Black Men's Magazine... Skin, Skin, Skin and Fur!! And there is no way in hell Diddy was about to let Que come in and mess up his little Dirty Money Cheerleader routine!!!

How You Get Them is How You Lose Them

A funny thing happened when Swizz Beatz was in the studio with Nicki Minaj. They say Alicia Keys was not feeling it AT ALL. According to studio insiders Alicia didn't leave Swizz and Nicki alone for a minute and stayed in the studio for the ENTIRE session. HA HA. It looks like she is realizing what she did and doesn't want the same thing to happen to her.

Man In Atlanta Gets Caught Stealing Pennies In Fountain At The Martin Lu...

In an attempt to what one could only speculate as to get some food, gas or maybe cigarettes, a man in Atlanta, Georgia decided to skip asking strangers for change and just get it from the legendary Martin Luther King Memorial Fountain...and was caught on film.

No word on why the man decided to take change from the fountain or if charges were pressed, but really?

I know times maybe hard, but come on show some respect!

Mashonda Talks Divorce From Swizz Beatz

The ex-wife of Swizz Beatz is speaking on her former spouse and his upcoming nuptials to Alicia Keys.

As previously reported Mashonda and Swizz Beatz officially divorced in May after years of marriage citing irreconcilable differences. Soon after Swizzy and Alicia Keys announced that they were expecting their first child and plan to marry later this year.

Now Mashonda's once again speaking on the situation and tells VIBE that she has no plans to see the couple exchange vows. When asked by VIBE that if she were to be invited to the wedding if she'd go, she says no. She also recalled when she attended Beatz' birthday party and saw the happy couple together--while they were still married.

"No. Not out of malice, but because weddings are sacred. It's just not my place. The only reason I went to his birthday party was because he invited me and I did that for myself. I needed to see them together for it to transfer. And I was like 'Wow, this is real.' We were still totally married...We had a divorce that was nowhere near final, but I just needed to see them in action for it to be real to me, and it was definitely real.

You have all these different types of steps that you have to set up for yourself until you get to that place where you are free. And I will tell you, after I got divorced maybe three weeks later I woke up and felt a weight removed. It was the first time I'd ever felt mentally free. And I sent him an email wishing him all the best in the world."

Speaking on A. Keys, Mashonda also told VIBE that she still listens to her music and understands that she's been acting like a woman in love.

"I dont make it an effort to listen. I don't make it an effort not to listen. I still like her songs. She's head over heels in love and I get it. Every woman deserves to feel that, not at the expense of another woman though. But I understand why some of the decisions were made on her part, because her heard was so in it.

I can't fight that [and] I can't fight her because she's a household name. People are always going to lover her for her music, as they should. She makes great music, but no one is really ever going to understand what happened in this house."

She also touched on the way she felt when she found out about the pair's affair and says she felt f*cking disrespected."

"Bottom line, the rule is, if you're messing with somebody, you don't know they're married, and you found out they're married if you come into any contact with that wife, leave it alone... respect the woman, respect the wife. Like I said before, it was an ego thing for me. I'm being f*cking disrespected, nobody respects me, this is my husband, this is my family, this girl thinks she can just do anything she thinks she wants to. And that's what I dealt with for a while, until I gave up."

The Dream and Christian Milian Were Still Together

Christina Milian was photographed still wearing her wedding ring yesterday, as she went out to buy formula for their infant daughter, despite news breaking of her separation with The Dream. Now sources close to Christina say her shady a*s husband is full of sh*t and the pair has been together much more recently that The Dream's statement leads the public to believe.

According to sources close to the couple the press release from The Dream is completely FALSE!

Sources say the statement was only released as an attempt to save his career, and that up until this news broke, the couple had a "grand plan" to bring up their daughter in Atlanta and continue building their family together. The source has witnessed The Dream and Christina together as a couple in the last month and revealed that, in addition to Christina going to support him at his most recent L.A. show, the pair had actually enjoyed a romantic weekend together. The source is pretty certain the pair have also been intimate recently, based on jokes Christina made about their sex life.

"They were clearly still in love," said the friend, who asked not to be named. "I feel bad because his assistant Melissa clearly knew they were happily married and even attended, signed and witnessed both marriage ceremonies the couple had."

"What makes matters worse is she joined them in celebrating the birth of baby Violet at the hospital and Christina has had Melissa and her entire family over for holiday dinners while Melissa's family was going through hardships."

THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!!

The source continued:

"His statement is a fat lie to save his record sales. Any separation time for them was always due to work, at least that's what he was selling Christina and she believed him because that's her husband...who wouldn't? Quite frankly he completely manipulated her and the situation."

WOW...Can you believe that? Sometime the other woman is right there in the delivery room with you. What is the deal lately with woman taking another woman's man when she is friends with the woman? And with men cheating on their wife's with a woman that is friends with his wife. People just don't care anymore. That girl is not even anywhere near as pretty as Christina.

What do you guys think about this situation? To me is it CRAZY!

Cleveland Cavaliers Owner Dan Gilbert Responds

Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert got in another word about the messy, heartbreaking split with LeBron James. He promised it's his last one. It had better be or NBA Commissioner David Stern could fine him another $100,000. On Monday, Gilbert said he strongly disagrees with Rev. Jesse Jacksons' criticism of his recent comments about James, who announced last week he was leaving Cleveland after seven seasons to join fellow All-Stars Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh on the Miami Heat.

In a statement released by the team on Monday, Gilbert tried to put an end to the issue.

"I strongly disagree with Rev. Jesse Jackson's recent comments and we are not going to engage in any related discussion on it," Gilbert said. "Going forward, we're very excited about the Cavaliers and the positive future of our region."

Gilbert is attending the owners' meetings in Las Vegas, where Stern fined him $100,000 for the "inappropriate" comments about James.

"He was completely correct in expressing his disappointment," Stern said, adding that Gilbert's statement and sentiments he expressed in a follow-up interview with the AP were "a little bit extreme."

Six Months After Haiti Earthquake...Aid Is Reduced To A Trickle

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AFP) -- Six months after a violent earthquake left a trail of destruction and misery in their country, Haitians are growing impatient at the slow trickle of aid and the crawling pace of reconstruction. "There are no prospects, no means to rebuild. The international community promised us money, but will it ever come?" asked a baffled Franck Paul, a former mayor of Port-au-Prince. In the capitol's streets and under tents that still house hundreds of thousands of Haitians left homeless by the disaster, frustration is building.

"When we were asked to come to this camp, we were promised houses. Where are they?" asked Jean-Auguste Petit-Frere as he pointed to a model of a home set up on the site by a Jamaican firm and set to be valued at 15,000 dollars a piece. According to the United Nations office in Haiti, nearly 4,000 homes of 18 square meters(194 square feet) each have been built in a project that anticipates building some 10,000 houses.

The UN humanitarian coordinator in Haiti, Nigel Fischer, acknowledged there were "many challenges" in putting Haiti back on its feet and coordinating aid, including making sure the affected population has access to essential care. He also warned that 130 tent cites have been identified as at risk from the hurricane season that could add insult to injury in a country that was already the poorest in the Western hemisphere even before the quake. The French Red Cross, which has promised to build 30,000 transitional homes in collaboration with the US Red Cross, has just begun construction of 500 in a village east of the capitol, Port-au-Prince. But the figures pale in comparison to the 1.5 million people left homeless by the January 12 quake that measured 7.0 on the moment magnitude scale killed 250,000 people.

Among those still living in squalid temporary plastic tents under sweltering temperatures are half a million children at risk of crime, exploitation, and abuse. They often lack decent sanitation and proper protection against an imminent risk of hurricanes. "Children in Haiti are among those having the hardest time recovering from the earthquake," Save the Children's director of emergencies Garen Owen said in a statement. "Many are still trying to cope with the grief of losing loved ones, their homes, their toys -- everything that gave them their sense of identity. It's hard for an adult to cope, let alone a child." Some of the kids were so scarred, they fear stepping into any concrete building. Other left orphaned are hired by families in camps as workers in exchange for food, according to Save the Children.

Christina Milian and The Dream Seperated in Late 2009

Christina Milian and The Dream have decided to separate, his rep confirms to UsMagazine.com. Terius 'The Dream' Nash is saddened to announce that his marriage to Christina Milian was unsuccessful. The couple reached this decision in late 2009, but decided to keep the news private in efforts to protect their baby daughter Violet."They ask for consideration and respect for their family moving forward," his rep tells Us. The split confirmation comes as racy photos surface of The Dream and his assistant of about a year, Melissa Santiago, frolicking in the Caribbean. The producer and singer, 32, proposed to Milian, 29, in July 2009 with a six-carat diamond ring from Ivanka Trump's jewelry line. The couple eloped last September in Las Vegas, and said " I Do " a second time in Rome in December. They welcomed daughter Violet five months ago.

Wait a minute... how is he gonna say they decided to separate in late 2009 and they had their second wedding ceremony in December of 2009.. Something sounds fishy!

I think that he is trying to make things look better for his affair because if you read Christina's tweets earlier it didn't seem like they were broken up. What do you think?
