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!

The-Dream- Nikki Part 2 (Official Video)

I like how convenient it is that he just announced his split with wife Christina Milian yesterday and pictures of him with another chick came out as well. It sounds like he is trying to make himself look better. What do you guys think?

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?
