2005 Emmy Nominations
 

Flex and Shanice look like such a cute and happy couple. Gosh, I wonder what happened. Didn't they just have another baby too?

Yep like in the last year or so.

Well, water finds its own level. Not like Nick is that hot or compelling.

:eek:

Re: 2005 Emmy Nominations
 

I see Lackawanna Blues on there!

Another pic of Nicole looking hungry
 

^^
She looks hongry, but I love her sunglasses and hairstyle.
:cool:

I dont think she is pregnant, but i did read something about her father being addicted to drugs and it was having a devastating impact on her. Maybe thats the reason, cause when I last seen her pics she looked real stressed out.

I agree that he has metrosexual tendencies, but he's pretty easy on the eyes.

Author Terry McMillan is about to embark on a 19 city book tour to promote her latest novel The Interruption of Everything. The book comes out on the 19th and she will be in Philadelphia on the 21st at the Church of the Advocate. A couple of weeks ago the world found out what she has known for a while, that her husband was gay and he had left her. McMillan's romance with Jonathan Plumber made headlines around the world. She was 43 when she met the 20 year old on the island of Jamaica. They got married and she based her best selling novel How Stella Got her Groove Back on her romance. After six and a half years, the marriage ended and now she has to pay him spousal support and they have restraining orders out on each other. Terry says she's angry but she's moving on. McMillan reveals she found out about his other life when she kept getting calls from a man in Jamaica. Then she found the gay pornography. McMillan says she's not angry about her husband being gay, but she feels betrayed that he would risk her life. She's afraid she now could be HIV positive. As she heals she is doing a lot of praying and meditating. Her soon to be ex is not being quiet. He wants some money. He claims he signed a prenuptial agreement under duress and he wants to void it because he wants to reestablish himself. McMillan's response, "He should get a job!"

It has something to do with Tom Cruise hooking up with Matchbox 20's Rob Thomas, having Rob's wife find out about it and forcing Tom to hook up with Katie Holmes to knock the gay scandal out of the press. Or something.

Got this forwarded to m thought it woudl interest you:
A friend of mine just got back from LA and heard this scoop about Tom & Katie from someone who works at Universal. The source said that they (Tom & Katie) have a 5-year contract and he's paying her $8 million. The engagement happened so fast because Rob Thomas' (Matchbox 20) wife caught Rob and and Tom in bed together and they rushed the engagement so that it would overshadow that scandal. Obv., take it with a grain of salt.

Read below. This was just published.


Independent Sources

Bureaucrats?Independent Sources Confirms Existence of Tom Cruise/Rob Thomas Rumor Independent Sources announced today that it has uncovered a new,previously undiscovered Tom Cruise rumor:
Tom Cruise and Matchbox Twenty's Rob Thomas are lovers!

Independent Sources has hesitated writing about Tom Cruise/Katie Holmes for many reasons. First, there are other things going on in the world that, believe it or not, rank higher on the importance scale. Second, pretty much everything that can be said is being said.

However, someone (I'll call her Mistress of the Hollywood Rumor) just
walked into Insider's office with the following dish that I feel compelled to pass on. I did a quick check of Technorati and it wasn't there. So even if it is not true, it is at least original.

No doubt that anyone with an Internet connection has read about Tom Cruise being gay. According to rumor lore, he has had a long-time boyfriend in Chicago who is an Asian pilot for American Airlines. This is an accusation that Cruise and more importantly Cruise's many attorneys vehemently deny.

There have been many stories that supposedly corroborate his sexuality but never a smoking gun. Rumor mongers attribute this to the fact that Cruise goes to great lengths to cover his tracks. We are told that everyone around him signs extensive confidentiality contracts with enormous penalties for indiscretion. (Exhibit A: the 8-page confidentiality contract Cruise's housekeeper was forced to sign).

Such stories have been around for years and Cruise has evidently attempted to counter them with a series of high-profile heteronormative relationships.

First, Nicole Kidman, then Penelope Cruz, and most recently Katie Holmes. In each instance, the "relationship" is actually a contract that gives the women a boost to their careers, a lot of money, and an elegant lifestyle.

Here is where this particular rumor gets interesting. Not long ago,
Marisol, the wife of Matchbox Twenty's Rob Thomas (who has had to contend with his own rumors of bi-sexuality) found her husband in bed with Tom Cruise causing Cruise's people to shift into high gear.

First, Mrs. Rob Thomas was bought off for an undetermined sum. Second, Cruise and his handlers set out to immediately find Cruise a girlfriend. Second-tier actresses were targeted. A list was drawn up with Jessica Alba (#1 pick) and three other girls who fell out for various reasons. Originally targeted (#3 I think) but later rejected as "undesirable" was rumor queen Lindsay Lohan. Way down at #5 on the list was Katie Holmes, but that was the one with whom they were able to strike a deal.

Once the contact was signed, photo ops were set up, leaks were made to the right places, and we've had celebrity relationship on steroids ever since.

One thing I will credit this rumor for is how it nicely explains Tom's behavior this past few months-including the couch jumping episode on Oprah. Cruise simply didn't have time for the Holmes rumors to circulate at its normal speed and he couldn't allow it to be second page news while the tabloids focused on Brad, Jennifer and Angelina. No, this relationship had to immediately become the "it" topic.

Well, that's how we hear it.

Man Commits Suicide After Learning Harry Potter Spoiler
 

From the Borowitz Report

MAN COMMITS SUICIDE AFTER LEARNING HARRY POTTER SPOILER

‘I No Longer Have a Reason to Live,’ Says Despondent Potter Fan

A rabid Harry Potter fan took his life yesterday after inadvertently learning a plot spoiler from the soon-to-be-released J.K. Rowling opus, “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.”

Jude Ralston, 32, of Hudson, Ohio left a suicide note indicating that since overhearing the plot spoiler at a shopping mall earlier in the day, “I no longer have a reason to live.”

Family and friends who gathered for a candlelight memorial outside Mr. Ralston’s house remembered a man who seemed to live only for Harry Potter – and wondered if they could have done anything to prevent his tragic fate.

“When Jude got that vanity license plate that said ‘Hogwarts,’ that seemed harmless enough,” said Polly Clovis, who attended Model U.N. with Mr. Ralston while the two were in high school. “But when he started wearing that wizard hat around town, we really should have seen that as a cry for help.”

According to friends of Mr. Ralston, the Potter fanatic had done everything in his power to protect himself from stumbling across Potter plot spoilers, even disconnecting his computer from the Internet and avoiding his favorite vintage comic book store.

Ms. Clovis said that she hoped Mr. Ralston’s death would cause federal authorities to tighten the flow of Harry Potter plot information to prevent similar tragedies from taking place.

“In my heart I believe that could have saved Jude’s life, even if he didn’t have one,” she said.

Elsewhere, President Bush called the jailing of a New York Times reporter “a positive step,” but warned that many other reporters were still at large.

Re: Man Commits Suicide After Learning Harry Potter Spoiler
 

Do federal authorities really have nothing better to do than tighten security on the story of a fictional character? What was this guy going to do when he actuall read the book and got to the end? I can't believe they are trying to blame anything other than insanity on his death.

are the glasses supposed to make her less ho-ish and more intellectual??

She still looks ho-ish to me. What's that old saying...you can't make a ho a housewife? You can't make a video ho a refined, best-selling author either. :rolleyes:

get out of my head!

I read the book (yes I'll admit it) nothing intellectual about it.

What did she see in Ray J??

That's exactly what I was thinking when I saw the pics!

I admit it. I'm petty. :p When I look at the height difference, they don't look like a couple to me.

It looks like a picture of a "fly" aunt taking her lil' nephew out on the town.

One of my ls sent the same pics. I think it's the dress because I seen other pics of them recently and she did not look pregnant.

LOL at ladylike:p When you said this, this reminded me of my high school sweetheart who's shorter than me and I'm only 5'3.

BV Buzz 7/18--UPN News
 

The UPN Network seems to have more drama on their sitcoms than they do on their actual dramas. BV Buzz broke news on June 20 that Elise Neal would not be returning to the Will Smith-produced 'All of Us' and that Flex Alexander was being fazed out of the show he co-created, 'One on One.' Now we've learned that 'One on One,' which is returning for its fifth season, has fired series regulars Sicily Sewell (Spirit) and Kelly Perine (Duane) and rumor has it that the intentions are to replace their characters with new white ones. Even worse, the two actors were only nine episodes away from syndication!


BV Buzz was able to track down Sewell, who was extremely disappointed by what transpired. "After the upfronts in May (when television networks announce their fall lineup), I assumed when they decided to pick up the show for another season, they'd be picking us all up," she explained. "Apparently not!"


Sewell says she and Perine received word about a month after the upfronts that UPN would not be "renewing their option" to return to the series. "We were told they were taking the show in a different direction," she said.


The timing of the ambush firing shocked Sewell who anticipated making it to the sitcom's fifth, and likely final, season, since the actress had weathered several other situations that arose during her tenure on the show. "At one point they told me to come down on my weight. It was basically, lose weight or that's your job," she confessed. Executives for the show even complained about Sewell's ample breasts. "I was told that people in high school didn't have a chest like mine. I can't help it that I have big breasts," she concluded.


The actress says she's not bitter about the termination and will certainly miss the camaraderie of working with her co-star Kyla Pratt. "We talked every day. We were together every day. Since I was 15 years old, this was all I knew. This was my family away from home, and it's going to be weird not talking to them everyday," shared Sewell.


Her plans now? Sewell stars next in the upcoming Lifetime original movie 'No More Victims' alongside Ernie Hudson ('Oz'), Edwin Hodge ('Jack & Bobby') and Jami Gertz ('Jersey Girl'). That movie is slated for August.


BV Buzz contacted UPN's Joanna Massey, senior vice president of Media Relations, for comment. "There is absolutely no truth to the assertion regarding casting on 'One on One.' As announced in May, UPN is changing the direction of 'One on One' to focus on Kyla Pratt and Robert Ri'chard's characters. Several new series regulars will be hired; however, no casting decisions have been made at this time," she said via e-mail.


It is suspected that the firings also back up a theory we reported in the BV Buzz on June 20 about UPN shows being forced to cut back on expenses since neither Sewell nor Perine will earn revenue from the sitcom's syndication. To that claim, Massey offered, "The changes in the direction of the show were made for creative reasons. No other factors were considered."


Omarosa Fires Husband?


It's confirmed that the 'Queen of Reality TV' Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth has separated from her husband Aaron Stallworth. The couple had been married for 5 years and owns homes in Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles following Omarosa's success on 'The Apprentice.'


"Aaron and I are still very close. He's my college sweetheart and will always be the love of my life. Instead of growing apart, we're just growing up, which is causing us to go in different directions," Manigault-Stallworth told us.


Several months after the split, Manigault-Stallworth has been seen with Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Frank Ryan, who has also been connected to actress Shar Jackson (also known as Britney Spears' husband, Kevin Federline's baby's mother). Coincidentally, Dr. Ryan famously gave a face lift to Omarosa's 'Surreal Life' nemesis, Janice Dickinson.

Most recently, Manigault-Stallworth has been rumored to be dating Turks and Caicos Chief Minister Michael E. Misick. It was recently reported that the reality show star was shipwrecked with actress Jasmine Guy ('A Different World') on the private yacht of the Chief Minister for more than four hours after hitting a sand dune. When asked about a romance with Misick, she opted to play coy. "I'll never tell," she giggled.


Model Pick


Supermodel Shakara Ledard has modeled for everyone from L'Oreal to Liz Claiborne, but now she's looking for that ideal person to be the face of her own fashion line. Ledard says actress Thandie Newton ('Crash') would be an ideal candidate for her upcoming fashion line, ROXS.


"She could really be the perfect template for the woman I would want to see in my clothing. She's very classic and beautiful, always quite sophisticated," explained Ledard.


What type of makeover would the Sports Illustrated model give Newton? "I would love to put her in a wicked mohawk afro and totally turn her out and rock her out completely. I think she could totally carry it off," she shared.


Ledard's clothing brand is slated to hit stores this time next year. "It's edgy women's contemporary. Its very rock 'n' roll with very beautiful fabrics and incredible details," she said of the fashion line.


Baby on Board


Congratulations are apparently in order for former B2K singer J-Boog (real name is Jarrell Houston). The 20-year-old 'You Got Served' star is about to be a dad. A source close to the singer says it is expected that his longtime girlfriend will give birth to the couple's first child sometime before September... Remember Dreamworks Records artist Jerzee Monet? Even if you don't, the singer, who released the 2002 album 'Love & War,' is eight months pregnant with her second child. Monet, who had a pseudo-hit 'Most High' featuring DMX, already has a daughter and is expecting a son this time.


Can't Say Names ...

Can't Say Names
... Hollywood insiders are buzzing with rumors that a multimedia mogul is allegedly penning a book about being "a bisexual father in the entertainment industry." "It's all the talk in Los Angeles," said an industry source. "Apparently he's really going to write this book." Rumors about said manager/record executive/producer/director's sexuality have followed him for years, but notable industry types feel a book like this could be detrimental to his business.


Buzzworthy


... Los Angeles Laker Lamar Odom kicked off his new nonprofit organization Cathy Kids Foundation with a celebrity basketball tournament. Donald Faison ('Scrubs'), James Lafferty ('One Tree Hill'), James Lesure ('Las Vegas'), Roger Cross ('24'), Robert Ri'chard ('One on One') and R&B singer Tank are among those who played in the game. Among the others who came out to support the notable cause were rapper Chingy, television-radio talent Egypt, Victor Williams ('The Kings of Queens'), producer Swizz Beats, rapper-turned-comic Christopher "Kid" Reid, singer Mashonda and radio personality Ed Lover. ... Paula Jai Parker recently got married. The actress wed Forrest Martin, a Memphis, Tennessee native who worked as an intern/production assistant on the film 'Hustle & Flow.'

... Rapper Fat Joe recently partied with an ultimate fan courtesy of Complex magazine and Bacardi. The two companies teamed up to offer one lucky guy and a guest a chance to fly to Miami to meet the rapper. A Charlotte, North Carolina entrepreneur named Marques Black beat out more than 2,500 other entrants and won the three-day trip to meet Fat Joe, $350 spending money and a bunch of other goodies from Bacardi. Look for the outing to be featured in the August/September issue of Complex.

... R&B diva Kelly Price, gospel executive Max Siegel and Christian music writer Andy Argyrakis are the three judges for the Gospel Music Channel's upcoming reality contest, Gospel Dream 2005.

Auditions will take place in leading gospel markets like Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit and Memphis, with the actual series premiere airing on Oct. 5.


... Singer Marc Dorsey is readying his comeback. The R&B crooner released an album called 'Crave' in 1999, which featured the single 'If You Really Wanna Know,' and appeared on soundtracks for movies such as 'Crooklyn,' 'Clockers' and 'Get On The Bus.' Now Dorsey has launched a website, www.MarcDorsey.com that will showcase some of the new music he is working on in addition to listing upcoming performance dates.

Ebonics suggested for district

SAN BERNARDINO - Incorporating Ebonics into a new school policy that targets black students, the lowest-achieving group in the San Bernardino City Unified School District, may provide students a more well-rounded curriculum, said a local sociologist.

The goal of the district's policy is to improve black students' academic performance by keeping them interested in school. Compared with other racial groups in the district, black students go to college the least and have the most dropouts and suspensions.

Re: Re: Usher is going to be a daddy?
 

Could it also be the position of her hand around his neck that makes this couple look weird? :rolleyes:

So, is Elise Neal going to be replaced on All of Us or is the show over?

Re: Re: Man Commits Suicide After Learning Harry Potter Spoiler
 

Yes, it's a joke commenting on the HP hysteria.

I believe they're not replacing her but the show will continue for now. The only reason why it's still on is simply Will & Jada.

Re: I'on thank we need to know how to speak nothin' else. . .
 

This is just not sound thinking, IMO. So tell me again how codifying ebonics, which at the next level (exempting the Black Student Union) won't be accepted at anybody's college/university or in the professional world, is going to help these children?
"Ebonical expression" is for your peeps in social settings or after work...and for Greekchat :D

The piece referenced Oakland's earlier adoption of this. What preliminary results have they seen?

Re: I'on thank we need to know how to speak nothin' else. . .

Let's just dumb it down for our kids even more. I mean, after all, we're the only ones that speak "slang" I guess. Boy I'd hate to read those college application essays.
