Hometown Football great Richard Seymore's (New England Patriots) father kills girlfriend, then himself...read about it.

I feel really bad for him (and the rest of both families). Richard seems very nice and down to earth, my friends and I went to a big cookout that he hosted at his home a few months ago. It is all on the news. :(

OMG-
Richard is a sweetie. I went to college with him at the University of Georgia. Actually, when he was in high school, I was his football recruit hostess when Georgia was recruiting him. His father was very nice. I never would have thought this.

I'll be praying for his family.

He really IS nice. It's kinda sad though (when you think about it), when you know a couple of professional sports players and it's out of the norm for them to be nice. SMH Most everyone I know keeps saying, "But they are so nice!". Unfortunately, bad things happen to nice people too. :(

EXCERPT ONLY
 

:: Patty Jackson's 411 for the week of April 26th, 2004:

Oprah Winfrey is planning a special show for Luther Vandross. Oprah is taking her show on the road May 6th, to visit Luther at his home and the rehabilitation center where he is recovering from a stroke. Luther suffered a stroke a year ago. Last week he turned 53.


On Friday the 30th, Bobby Brown sits down with Dateline NBC to talk about his drug use. Bobby tells why he abused marijuana, cocaine and alcohol. Bobby says he did it to avoid arguing with his wife, Whitney Houston. Now speaking of Whitney, her recovery is not going well. As a matter of fact, is she recovering? Whitney, Bobby and her drug counselor were spotted in the Bahamas and Whitney is still out of control. The drug counselor is apparently just hanging around because Whitney is not getting any better.


Basketball great Michael Jordan is up to his old tricks. According
to published reports Michael is cheating on his wife Juanita again.
Jordan was spotted in Las Vegas with a busty woman who was all over him at the gambling tables in Las Vegas. Jordan lost a fortune over a half million dollars while the woman proceeded to rub all over him and nibble on his ear. After Michael lost his money he left with the women and returned with her the next night as he lost more money. Jordan is worth $400 million. Is he losing his mind wasting his money on women and gambling, and where is Juanita? Michael and Juanita have been married since 1989 and they have three children ages 15, 13, and 11. In 2002, Juanita filed for divorce from Jordan after reports came out from various women that he was sleeping with them. What will Juanita do now? How long will she put up with his cheating? Will she continue to look the other way?

Actress Halle Berry has filed for divorce from her husband, R&B singer Eric Benet, a spokeswoman said.

LET'S cut right to the chase: Diddy do or Diddy not? Last night, hip-hop king Sean Combs (the artist otherwise known as P.Diddy) made his stage debut in the first Broadway revival of Lorraine Hansberry's groundbreaking play "A Raisin in the Sun" - and yes, Diddy did.

Am I the only one...
 

...who has heard something about Ray Lewis allegedly beating Chili unconcious? My sister said she heard Wendy Williams talking about it, saying that it happened last week, and she doesn't know how it was kept so hush-hush. They said that police were waiting on Ray-Ray to turn himself in by tomorrow. Is this true or a sick rumor?

Say it ain't so Ray-Ray!!! :(

ETA: I can't find an article anywhere, and I can't get logged on to her site. I think if this were true, it'd be all over the news.

Re: Am I the only one...
 

VERY sICK RUMOR!!! I just did a thorough search and all I could find is Usher missing Chilli.

I heard the Ray-Ray and Chilli thing were not true. That would have been plastered all over the news. After that murder trial, his mug shot would have been on the news.

Okay...I wasn't going to rest...
 

Sick Rumor

...scroll down to the bottom.

Re: Re: Am I the only one...
 

Was that from his Rolling Stone interview? I read the interview today. He PROPOSED to Chilli while they were cranking. Ole girl didn't believe it. :o He had the 10-carat ring and everything. :eek: He said he was so glad she didn't believe him. He went on to say his house isn't the same without Chili and her son there. He said his home had much more warmth when they were there. :(

Re: Re: Re: Am I the only one...
 

WHOA! :eek:

10-carats? Dang...but why would he say he was glad she didn't believe him if he had the ring?

Man...I'm mad @ Wendy Williams, she had people calling in to her show discussing this mess and everythang! :mad: Boy, you never can trust what "they" say. If somebody tells you "they" said something...never, EVER believe them LOL.

This was probably before they had their "fight" and stuff in Target.
Then, to see how she retaliated on the radio, I guess he was glad he didn't go through with it. :confused:

Re: EXCERPT ONLY
 

Juanita needs to stop playing the fool and get her half now before MJ gambles away all the assets. His days are over. Though I can't say that he isn't still make money or that he won't be worth anything more in the years to come, his high days are over. She needs to get what she can NOW and stop looking like a fool behind this man.

Re: Anna Nicole Smith
 

This is the most ridiculous part of that article:

"The couple married three years later, when she was 26 and he was 89." :rolleyes:

And WTH does everyone think they can be clothing designers?

Wait til Afrochic posts this week's celeb news . . .

Vivica, Brandy, and Nia Long all have new men who play sports.

Yeah I heard that Brandy goes with a guy from the clippers. I forget his name, and Vivica is supposedly with that young boy from the Ravens.....Jamal Lewis. I don't know about Nia.

Re: Re: Anna Nicole Smith
 

Ol' Howie Marshall (RIP) must have been sucking down that big Viagra during his time with ANS.

Jamal Lewis is superfine! I thought he was married though.

Go, 'head Brandy..!

I thought that as well, and then I read somewhere that she never married her son's father.

Homewrecker Britney


Los Angeles, May 3 (IANS) From breaking records to breaking homes, pop music diva Britney Spears is at it again.

Spears is reported to have spent a wild week with Justin Timberlake look alike Kevin Federline, EOnline.Com revealed quoting the US weekly's cover story.

Dancer Federline, according to reports, has a girlfriend - actress Sharisse Shar Jackson from "Moesha" (a comedy series) - as well as a child and another one on the way!



http://www.musicindiaonline.com/n/m/main_page_news/297/

Ohhh, this story should unfold in an interesting Way~ :COOL:

The thing is, she did the same thing last year. Leave the "murried"/attached men alone. Oh, attached men, remember your wives/girlfriends.

She had a fling with one of her dancer's last year (black guy). At the time his wife was pregnant.

The new issue of US weekly had this on their front cover for this week, she claims she didn't know he had a girlfriend, they have a picture of her in US leaving a hotel room with mascara smudges under her eyes from crying.:rolleyes: Britney needs to sit down somewhere. Some guy just said about two weeks ago he had a one night stand with her. Instead of Kabbala, or whatever it's called, she needs Jesus!

TJMS this morning:
Tina Knowles was on for a Mother's day segment. Sybil asked Tina about the rumor that is out today that B and J got married. :confused:

Tina said she didn't know anything about that. But before Sybil asked her about this, Tom asked her about her Mom day plans. Tina says everyone is coming to New York to celebrate where she will be cooking. Solange, Kelly, Son-n-law (son she never had) and B were coming. She would be waiting for B to return from London, hence this article:

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...prince_charles

A few moments after this, she discusses the rumor of the wedding. She says she doesn't know anything about it, THEN she says that B was right there in the next room..to ask her. Ummmmmmmmm, how can you ask B if she is in London? Tina nor Tom said that Tina was in London. :confused:

I'm not concerned about the wedding, if it took place or not. My question is: Why must you tell a fib?

SEATTLE -- Former Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Warren is on Washington state's "most wanted" list of deadbeat parents.
Warren owes $103,147 :eek: in child support to the mother of his two children, according to the state Division of Child Support.
"I'm not looking to slam Chris," Monique Mulloy, the mother of Warren's children, said Thursday. "But I'm at my wits' end."
Warren is supposed to pay $5,000 a month to support his two daughters, ages 10 and 11. He hasn't paid anything in a year, Mulloy said.

Well, she is trying to be the second coming of Madonna... (kabbala and all. watch she picks up a british accent in a couple years) failing miserably though. Madonna, at the very least, kept folks guessing. Britney is just... tired.

Bobby Brown is not happy about his recent appearance on Dateline NBC. In an upcoming issue of Sister2Sister Magazine Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown reveal all.

The Whitney and Bobby reality show will show the couple…warts and all. Whitney says she loves her man and it’s her job as a wife to help her man out financially. She claims, “What’s mine is his.” They also say they will overcome their drug addiction together.

Brandy’s new album, Afrodisiac comes out in late June and Brandy is talking about everything. Word has it her husband left her when he realized he wasn’t the father of her daughter.

In other Brandy news, according to published reports, she is very jealous of Beyonce’s success and popularity. Brandy ran into Kelly Rowland of Destiny’s Ch ild and she started bad mouthing Beyonce.

Word has it the two best friends have not been getting along and they barely spoke to each other during the filming of the TV series. I guess they’ll be doing a lot of editing.

Now that Jermaine Jackson is no longer in the inner circle with his brother Michael, sources say he wants to write a book.
