That was quick...

And the plot thickens...
 

Johnny said one thing (interview included)....

But Tracey says another....

http://www.eurweb.com/story/eur41252.cfm

If what Johnny said is true about Eddie's mom, I totally agree. He went from Nicole to Shawn Robinson to Mel B to Tracey to this new woman in the span of 2-3 years. At least let some time pass (and handle your business) before you go with another woman.

If you've moved on, Tracey, why are you so concerned with what Johnny said? I mean YOU were the one who wanted Eddie after he denied HIS OWN CHILD! :mad:

Admit it girl, it was a publicity stunt.

There is a reason that I am posting this song on news and not in new music...

NSFW!!!! Most people know what happened between him and Ne-Yo. Then there's the story that came out a few weeks ago about him dating his former publicist's stepdaughter (yes she was of age) and how he did her dirty (and how he cheated on his stand-by-your-man wife). Oh Rrrrrrrrr... :rolleyes:

More on the second story:

because he made comments that affected her and her family/friends. She had the right to respond without it being taken as sour grapes about the relationship.

Has Star kicked BGA to the curb?

I heard this on the radio Friday when Flo Anthony mentioned it, but couldn't find a story for it. But now I found one (thanks to YBF). Discussions and :eek:s can start...now!

LOL @ BGA

Star dropped Al for the same reason that Tracey Edmonds dropped Eddie Murphy. Supposedly. :(

<---still likes Eddie.

and the fact that he quit his investment banker job when you got engaged wasn't a sign of something amiss, Star? :rolleyes:

*silently hums I'm Super, Thanks For Asking* lol :p

Didn't EVERYONE know he was gay, though?

British singer Corrine Bailey Rae's husband found dead
 

British singer Corinne Bailey Rae's musician husband found dead in an apartment in Leeds


Associated Press


Police say Jason Rae was found in an apartment in the northern English city of Leeds on Saturday. Officers are awaiting results of toxicology tests to determine the cause of death.

A 32-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of supplying him with drugs but has been released on bail, officials said.

Thirty-one-year-old Jason Rae was a saxophonist with a funk band, the Haggis Horns.

Bailey Rae's self-titled debut album sold more than 1 million copies in the U.S. after its release in 2006.

The 29-year-old was nominated for song of the year at the Grammy Awards in both 2007 and 2008.

:(

wow, that's sad.

Aw man! :(

I read about it last night. So sad. :(

Detroit Mayor in Trouble
 

This is an older article, but I keep hearing about it on the ABC News.

DETROIT — The city’s charismatic but scandal-plagued mayor and his chief of staff will be the subject of an investigation into whether they lied under oath when they denied having an extramarital affair, the Wayne County prosecutor announced here Friday.

The investigation by the prosecutor, Kym L. Worthy, was prompted by The Detroit Free Press’s publication this week of text messages, many of them flirtatious, between the mayor, Kwame M. Kilpatrick, and his chief of staff, Christine Beatty, who have known each other since high school.

The messages, transmitted to and from Ms. Beatty’s city-owned pager in 2002 and 2003, appear to show that the two had an intimate relationship and suggest that they committed perjury by denying the affair during testimony in one of two whistleblower lawsuits that have cost taxpayers in the beleaguered city more than $9 million.

A felony perjury conviction carries a possible sentence of up to 15 years in prison.

Read the article here: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/26/us...it.html?ref=us

And just reported today:

Detroit ministers pledge support for Kilpatrick

About 60 Detroit ministers pledged their unwavering support for embattled Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick this afternoon.

Pastors from the Council of Baptist Pastors of Detroit, representing multiple denominations, gathered at Corinthian Baptist Church in Hamtramck to publicize their belief that Kilpatrick deserves forgiveness and compassion.

“The mayor is not standing alone,” said the Rev. E.L. Branch, pastor of Third New Hope Baptist Church in Detroit. “We’re holding him up in prayer all the way through.”

Moments before the ministers convened, Kilpatrick was arraigned in 36th District Court on eight felony counts, including perjury. The Free Press published text messages shared between Kilpatrick and his former chief of staff Christine Beatty that revealed the two lied under oath about a extramarital affair and the firing of former Deputy Police Chief Gary Brown.

“We’re called to stand with him at a time of trial in his life,” said the Rev. Skip Wachsman, pastor of Genesis Lutheran Church in Detroit. “He’s not guilty of anything; he has been charged.”

Two weeks ago, the pastors' council voted 34-24 not to issue a letter calling for Kilpatrick to resign over the scandal. The council, which represents 400 clergy members, endorsed Kilpatrick's policies in his 2005 re-election bid.

Are the Jacksons broke?

As long as Michael owns the Beatles songs, he will never go broke. He may not make as much money as he used to, but I believe he still has a little bit of money in the bank. And I wish he will dump Neverland--he hasn't lived there in three years.

I also believe that part of the reason that Michael has had the money problems he has had is because he has been taking care of his family. I would have made sure that Joe and Katherine would have been set and the rest would have to fend of their own.

And I don't believe that Michael would sabotage his siblings' career either.

What's Going on with the Leverts?!

Orlando Brown of That's So Raven reportedly missing:

http://www.people.com/people/article...194640,00.html

Orlando Brown of TV's That's So Raven has been missing since early Tuesday morning, PEOPLE has learned exclusively.

The 20-year-old reportedly left his manager's house around 10:20 a.m. to make a quick trip to 7-Eleven and has not been seen since. According to Brown's publicist, Elayne Rivers, he had a full day of meetings and appointments in preparation for a photo shoot Wednesday.

Rivers adds that friends and family are very concerned, as the young actor is not one to be out of touch for long, and the convenience store was within a short walking distance from his manager's home in Studio City.

:(:(

^^I hope he is alright.



Is it just me, or does he look a little off in that picture?

He does look off in that picture. Still, I hope that he is ok.

It's not just you...
I hope he connects with his family and friends.


RE: Star

Sista, at least you are closing the end of that chapter. Others saw BGA was not the one for you. Now, you see, so move forward! :D

Awwww....Eddie (show name)! I hope everything is fine.

Orlando does look a bit "different" in that photo. I hope he's okay. :(

As for Star and BGA, I guess some folks have won some bet money. :p

I think he just looks tired -- he looks like how I look right this second.

Anyway, he has GOT to be okay. Young people don't need any more tragedies right now.

Orlando Brown isn't missing. He claims his family went "overboard".

^^I wonder if they were overboard in his pockets...

Well I'm glad he's not missing.

To the chorus of Ben E. King's Supernatural, Star, "your love, your love, was a homosexual thang. Homo-sexual, homo-sexual."

BTW, here she is at a God's Love We Deliver benefit on the right, as pictured in New York Social Diary. I'm unsure of the wig.

My stepdad and I were just talking about Star this morning. He told me (and I've seen it on some blogs) that she is now hanging out with Dwayne Wade (even though he's married).

Quoting Best Week Ever:

UPGRADE!!!!

I saw those pictures too. Blogs take things tooooooo far! Not trying to discredit Star, but Dwayne Wade can have just about ANY chick he wants.... and I doubt it's Star Jones. I am sure that them "hanging out" was purely happenstance or one incident blown out of proportion.

I feel that same way too. But hanging out with DWade is way better than hanging out with BGA. :)

I'd hang out with nearly anyway over BGA! LOL! She should have just kept him as a shopping buddy or something!

I just read about this today! I'm so sorry to hear this. Man life is so precious now.

Entertainment Tonight will have a segment about this tonight.

Now I'm confused. I thought that they found him?

Good point. Now as for Starruh and DWade, I'm no fan of "cougarism," but he's not bad to look at.
