Why do so many celebrities have trouble filing taxes? They have enough money to hire a good accountant and file proper taxes...this just doesn't make any sense to me.

I didn't realize that Randy Jackson had gastric bypass surgery. Was he really that big? I hope he doesn't get any smaller. He looks like he's at a good size now.

Actor Lamont Bentley Killed in Car Crash

1 hour, 14 minutes ago Entertainment - AP Gossip/Celebrity


LOS ANGELES - Lamont Bentley, who was a regular in the 1990s sitcom "Moesha" and appeared frequently in television and movies, was killed in a car crash, his manager said Wednesday.


Bentley died Tuesday night when his vehicle plunged off the San Diego Freeway, manager Susan Ferris said. He was the only person in the vehicle.

Bentley, 31, played Hakeem Campbell, the longtime friend of pop singer Brandy's character, Moesha Mitchell, in the UPN sitcom "Moesha."

Bentley had appeared in a number of films, including "The Wash" and "Tales From the Hood." He also played Tupac Shakur in the TV movie, "Too Legit: The MC Hammer Story," and had appeared in guest roles on "The Parkers," "NYPD Blue" and "Clueless."

The Milwaukee native and father of two daughters began his career after moving to Los Angeles with his mother, an aspiring singer.

"This is a big year for him," Ferris said. "We were very excited because he was coming into his own. It's like a candle being snuffed right out

They may think they are ABOVE the law! Then also soror, that could be the problem. Many in the biz TRUST their accountants. They ASSume that their hired help is doing his or her job. Then, when it's too late, they find out he or she wasn't. That's when there is trouble and the accountant is "fat rich" and the "starra" is broke.

:o

So sad about Lamont.

Sydney Simpson....lawd! :o I guess she went "ghetto". :o

I guess this is true. It just seems that with the news about celebs and tax problems, any new person on the scene would make sure that they paid close attention to that issue.

Has anyone else heard this:
SEAL TARGETS FIFTY CENT IN RAP BLAST
Seal has sparked a potential feud with 50 Cent by criticizing his high-living image, as part of the singer's anti-rap culture offensive.

The star -- who last week slammed rappers for portraying women negatively in both their videos and lyrics -- cites 50 Cent's Get Rich or Die Tryin' album as an example of all that is wrong with hip-hop music in the 21st century.

The British singer tells hip-hop magazine Sister 2 Sister, "[It's like] 'I'm just going to make a rap video, right? And I'm going to tell the young get rich or die trying or I'm just gonna have loads of cars; I'm just gonna have loads of hos in my video.'

"I really feel there is a responsibility and what goes around comes around."

Re: Re: Re: Re: Patti's News for 1.17.05
 

I suspect Seal's blasts against Fiddy won't carry much weight because Sealhenry is taking some on other boards that I belong to because of Heidi Klum and the baby.:p

Johnny Carson, King of Late Night, Dies

By JEFF WILSON
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Johnny Carson, the ``Tonight Show'' TV host who served America a smooth nightcap of celebrity banter, droll comedy and heartland charm for 30 years, has died. He was 79. ``Mr. Carson passed away peacefully early Sunday morning,'' his nephew, Jeff Sotzing, told The Associated Press. ``He was surrounded by his family, whose loss will be immeasurable. There will be no memorial service.''

More than six drama-filled years after the release of her Grammy-winning solo debut, it looks like Lauryn Hill's sophomore studio album is finally nearing fruition — with a little help from Kanye West, perhaps.

The pair have collaborated on at least two songs, and while it isn't certain that the collaborations will make the album's final track listing, given West's spiritual slant, the producer seems like a perfect fit for Hill, whose music has taken an ethereal turn in recent years.

Still, the pair's collaboration is somewhat ironic, considering that West sampled a Hill song for the original version of his track, "All Falls Down." The then-relatively unknown producer couldn't get clearance to use Hill's performance and re-recorded the song using singer Syleena Johnson.

Representatives for West and Hill could not be reached for comment.

Hill's last studio set, 1998's The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, won five Grammy awards and turned her into a household name. However, rumored turbulence in the singer's personal life contributed to a long delay in the release of any new music.

The silence was finally broken in 2002 with MTV Unplugged 2.0, culled from an MTV special of the same name. The album featured Hill singing spiritually driven, acoustic songs while accompanying herself on acoustic guitar (which she'd only recently learned to play). The songs' lyrics reflected the religious and at times mystical bent that some of her comments to the media had taken. The singer's behavior has been unpredictable in recent years.

Recently, Hill has turned up to do a series of live performances and even reunited with the Fugees last year for Dave Chappelle's Block Party, which also featured West (see "Chapelle Throwing A Block Party With Kanye, Lauryn, Others"). While talk of a Fugees reunion album has been constant, fellow Fugee Wyclef Jean has often said that any group material would come only after Lauryn has finished this album.

I heard on the radio this morning that Monica could be pregnat, and that she could be pregnat by that rapper Young Buck that she was having a little thing with when she did that video.....to the song Should Have Know Better. I see seh still likes the rough necks

The Nominations Are In!
 

G-g-g-g-g-nit!:rolleyes:
Buck isn't as ugly as Fiddy, but still. The history of allegedly polished women getting with roughnecks goes back to Whitty and Booby.

LOL @ allegedly! :D

Speaking of Fiddy, last night on the radio it was rumored that Fiddy lost his hand. They say allegedly he shut his hand in his SUV Lamborghini style door and lost his whole entire hand. Has anyone else heard of this? I didn't listen long enough to hear if it was fact or falsified.

Naw, but if so...dang!

That is so true, and they just said this on the radio abut Whit and Bobby yesterday too, but truth be told....Whit was a ghetto girl undercover.

to touch on Bill Cost
 

according to Cynthia McFadden/GMA, new info on the Bill Cosby allegations:

1. the accuser admits that her memory is fuzzy on the details from the night in question
2. according to the Canadian media, six months after the alleged incident, she took her parents to meet Mr. Cosby , her
alleged attacker:confused:
3. the accuser decided to pursue charges after she started massage therapy school in Canada and "realized" that she
what happened between her and Mr. Cosby on the night in quesion was inappropriate. hence, the investigation.

umm...i'm trying to wrap my mind around these allegations and see this woman as a "victim" but it's a little hard right now...:(

I read this someplace else today but can't find any other stories in the news.
