ATLANTA --Denzel Washington plans to be in the crowd Saturday when his son plays in his first college football game.

John Davis Washington, a 5-foot-10, 185-pound running back for Morehouse, will definitely play against Fort Valley State in Macon, according to his coach -- and not just because his Oscar-winning father will be watching.

"John Davis is going to be in there a lot, absolutely," Morehouse coach Willard Scissum said. "He's an explosive back who has the ability to see openings and hit creases."

The younger Washington rushed for 1,980 yards and 26 touchdowns last season at Campbell Hall High School in North Hollywood, Calif. He likely will split time with Morehouse senior Nate Zachery, who has been slowed by injury.

Patty Jackson The 411

In our last update I talked about The Temptations getting into a fight with promoters in Jamaica. I have to clarify which Temptations were involved in the scuffle. The Temptations that got into a fight with promoters in Jamaica were Dennis Edwards and the Temptations Revue. It was not Otis Williams and the Original Temptations.

Does Janet Jackson have a secret child? Years ago there were stories going around that Janet had a baby around the time she was married to James Debarge but she always denied it. Well during the time Janet was dating Justin Timberlake sources say he found out about her secret and freaked out. This child is now 18 and I hear she's a girl. Will Janet come forward one day and tell the truth? Janet and Justin are no longer dating and he is keeping his distance from Janet.

The R Kelly scandal is profiled in the latest edition of GQ Magazine. In the article, its detailed how R Kelly has been messing around with young girls for years. The article also talks about the 14 year old girl on the sex tape with R Kelly. This girl is R Kelly's goddaughter, she's the daughter of a guitarist in his band and she is the niece of former R Kelly Protégé Sparkle. Other highlights in the article are his marriage to Aaliyah, how R Kelly was molested as a young child by an older man, how the infamous sex tape was stolen out of his gym bag. R Kelly is facing 21 counts of child pornography. One of the people interviewed for the story is Sparkle and she says if the tape had not been found he will still be messing with young girls right now. She says R Kelly likes girls ripe and young so he can mold them into what he wants them to be, he likes controlling their minds so he can make them do what women should do. Natalie Cole is coming out with a new LP next month. Ask A Woman Who Knows, is an LP of jazz standards and it features Joe Sample.

What's going on with the judges. Earlier this year Judge Greg Mathis got into trouble when it was revealed he had a secret mistress. The mistress came forward with tales of kinky sex, drugs and how she got a disease. The woman was paid off quietly to go away. Now another top judge is in trouble. According to published reports, Judge Joe Brown has been a naughty boy. The judge's former girlfriend has come forward saying he is a kinky sex crazed cheat. A manipulative con man and sex addict that she dated for five months. The 33 year old brunette says Judge Joe Brown enjoyed a menage a trois, where he would watch her with other men. He loved porn and was able to keep up with her because he has a healthy stash of Viagra. She also claims he promised to marry her but after she miscarried their child, he married someone else. Is this the case of woman scorned? Is she mad because he dumped her to marry someone else? Judge Joe had no comment on her charges.

Whitney Houston's new LP is expected to be out by November 5th. Whitney is going to redo the 1977 Debbie Boone Classic 'You Light Up My Life'. Executives at Arista Records have decided not to do a video for the song Whatchalookinat. This song was released but did not get any radio play and Whitney refused to do a video for the song. Whatchalookinat was produced by her husband, Bobby Brown.

Mariah Carey's new LP, Thru the Rain, comes out in December on Def Jam Records. This LP is being kept under tight wraps. Mariah's Last CD, Glitter, was sabotaged by executives who then gave her music to Jennifer Lopez.

Will New Edition be teaming up with P Diddy on his new record label. Sources say the two sides are talking.

I don't know how true this is, but I heard this from a couple of people and there is a message board on VH1 about it: One of the members of 3LW has AIDS. I don't know the members' names but I heard it is the light skin black girl who is the lead singer of the group. One of the people who told me about it heard it on the entertainment news on Power 99 FM. Another blow to the group. I hope it's not true.

Scene online

Recently spotted: Sean "P. Diddy" Combs out with his sons Justin (whose mom is stylist Misa Hylton-Brim) and Christian (whose mom is model Kim Porter). Also with the trio was Kim Porter's oldest son, by R&B singer/producer Al B. Sure!. Now, here's the rub: Combs has reportedly been a significant influence (both as a father-figure and financially) to Porter's son, in addition to his biological children. So, I think you know what I'm about to ask. Where in the world is Al B. Sure!? I know we haven't heard/seen him since, like, '93--but hopefully his son doesn't have to say the same. If so, come on, Al--stop hiding out in the "studio," and handle your business!

It’s rumored that Lil’ Bow-Wow is actually 16. Judging by his small size, don’t you hope to God that he’s not?

Found Al. B. Sure
 

In a quick response to where is Al B. Sure, my wife and I rented the Jamie Foxx comedy hour "I might need Security" Last night and noticed that Al B. was one of the executive producers. So he probably is running a production company of some kind.
Blackwatch!!!!!

He must be doing the Black college tour thing. At our alumni meeting last Tuesday, the president said he'll be down for the Bayou Classic as Grambling's guest.

Uhhhh Ideal, we need to put "find Denzel" on our "to do list" :p

Also, a Grambling Alum is producing a play about Eddie Robinson and Denzel has something to do with it. He is not starring in the play, but other notables will be.... Look out for it!

Janet probably whipped some freaky, sadistic stuff on little Jason. Brittney was holding out on him for so long. Janet probably turned that little boy's world upside down and back around again.

From what I am hearing, he found out that she has an 18 year old daughter that freaked him out, and this is the reason that he is now keeping his distance from her.

Once again, can't Janet Damita Jo Jackson find a REAL MAN her age? What is soooo appealing about Justin Timberlake, except to girls 15 years of age and younger? I don't have kids, so I guess I don't understand.
:confused:

Oh, fa sho, soror, fa sho!
 

Soror 2D, we will definitely be on the lookout for Mr. Washington. I'm not usually one for fanfare, but I would LOVE to take a picture with him!!!! No autographs, uh uh. I want a picture I can frame!!! Girl, bring the digital, so we can make sure it's perfect!!! :)

I'm locking this thread... new one in a minute...
