This is just embarrassing!....

I hope they do reconcile for the sake of the children and just because they were a cute couple...no matter what the age difference is.

Those reasons are not good enough to reconcile.

I know they are "juvenile" but yet I still want them to reconcile. Marriage is a committment...it should be worked on by both parties...and if they are seen together...then maybe, just maybe, they too, can work out their differences.

An Agitated Britney Spears Nearly Drops Son
LATEST: Pop star Britney Spears is embroiled in more parental controversy after nearly dropping her baby as she was leaving a New York City hotel on Thursday. The latest mishap occurred as the singer emerged from the Ritz Carlton hotel, holding a drink in one hand and her baby in the other.

Spears tried to maneuver through a crowd of onlookers when she tripped suddenly, causing her son's head to snap backwards and sending his hat flying off. The singer regained her balance and the baby didn't seem to suffer any serious injuries, according to TMZ.com.

Immediately after the incident an agitated Spears said, "This is why I need a gun," seemingly referring to having to battle her way through the crowd.

The incident is the latest in a series of mishaps for Spears. She caused concern earlier this week when she was snapped driving her Mini Cooper convertible with her son in his car seat facing the wrong way.

Not that anyone cares, but I read this on another website...

CALL IT A COMEBACK!

This might get filed under the, “Who Cares” file, but Dylan and Sean “Diddy” Combs have apparently made peace. Oh, the Dylan I refer to is that Reggae artist that was in Diddy’s Da Band. Well here is part of what is in circulation, a Declaration of Peace. But, I liked Dylan for the rebel I saw on “Making The Band” and his music too. Some things get regurgitated in his story, but this mostly explains how Dylan got to meet Diddy to bury the hatchet.

Man arrested trying to extort money from Babyface (AP)
 

INDIANAPOLIS (May 23) - A man claiming to be Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds' illegitimate son allegedly tried to extort $9 million from the Grammy-winning singer-producer by threatening to go public with the story, authorities said Monday.

John T. Clark, 23, of Indianapolis, was arrested Friday after accepting a bogus $9 million check from one of Edmonds' attorneys and signing what turned out to be fake nondisclosure agreement.

Clark, who faces one count each of felony theft and misdemeanor intimidation, is accused of contacting attorney William Briggs and demanding millions of dollars from Edmonds to "keep his mouth shut," according to court documents.

"The story was that he was going to ruin Babyface's reputation by claiming to be Babyface's illegitimate baby," Marion County Prosecutor Carl Brizzi said.

Clark was being held without bond at the Marion County Jail pending an initial hearing Tuesday. Brizzi said Clark recently had been released from jail after completing a sentence for robbery.

Brizzi said Clark made several calls to Briggs at his Los Angeles office. In the first, on May 1, he allegedly requested $20 million from Edmonds, who was born and raised in Indianapolis.

He threatened to go to the media with his allegations that Edmonds, 48, had an affair with his mother and that he was their child, Brizzi said.

Edmonds' business partner, Ken Christmas, called the allegations "completely and utterly false."

"The key for us is that this individual has a criminal background and the statements that he made were perceived by us to be a credible and a real threat to Kenny and his family," he said.

Briggs, after contacting Brizzi's office, offered to meet Clark in Indianapolis. On May 11, Clark lowered his demand to $9 million and agreed to meet Briggs in Indianapolis on May 19, according to a probable cause affidavit.

During their meeting at a restaurant, Clark read and signed a fake, but detailed 8-page nondisclosure statement the attorney had drawn up. He then accepted a bogus check for $9 million and was arrested as he left, Brizzi said.

Although Briggs maintains that he is Edmonds' son and claimed to have documents proving his parentage, Brizzi said the man has not produced such documents.

Even if Clark were the singer's son, Brizzi said attempted extortion is illegal.

Besides his career as the top-selling singer of "Whip Appeal" and "Change the World," Edmonds has also written hits for Whitney Houston, Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey, Bobby Brown and others.

BV Buzz 5/22/06--News on Trenyce (AI2)
 

With the 'American Idol' season finale just days away, BV Buzz had our own 'Idol' insider give us some perspective on this week's big decision between contenders Taylor Hicks and Katharine McPhee. Season two finalist Trenyce, who placed in the top five the year Ruben Studdard won, believes the 'Idol' title will go to the Alabama-bred Hicks. "It's time for a white male to win. Nothing unpredictable about that! It's Clay Aiken's revenge! Get ready America," she laughed.

Though Trenyce thinks that a Hicks' victory is obvious, she still anticipates a big audience. "Expect some of the biggest ratings that television has ever seen," she said. As much as the Memphis, Tenn. native would like to watch the broadcast live, she'll have to catch it on TiVo because she debuts this week in the Las Vegas production, 'V: The Ultimate Variety Show' at the Aladdin Hotel & Casino. Trenyce signed a one-year deal with the production, the work of famed Las Vegas producer David Saxe, and is the first 'Idol' alum to star in a Las Vegas production.

"My manager Eric Floyd of Goddess Empire masterminded the whole thing," confessed Trenyce, who landed the role in 'V' after Floyd convinced the new Las Vegas resident to audition for Simon Cowell's new show 'America's Got Talent.' "He made me go down to the V Theater to audition, which I never had any intention of doing because of Simon Cowell being its producer. I've had enough of him to last me for the rest of my life! But my manager being the visionary that he is looked me square in my eyes and said 'Do this audition and David Saxe will see you and ask you to star in one of his shows.' I'll be damned, that's exactly the way it all went down," she explained.

Trenyce will miss six weeks of 'V' starting in June, when she heads to Indianapolis, Ind. to star as Deena Jones in 'Dreamgirls.' "'Dreamgirls' has always been a dream project for me to participate in. Ever since I was a little girl I wanted to play Deena Jones," she said. Trenyce passed on an opportunity to star in a Philadelphia production of the famed musical last fall because of a previous commitment, but is ecstatic about this new opportunity. The Indianapolis show is being held in conjunction with both The Scottish Rite Performing Arts Center and The Madame C.J. Walker Theater.

With anticipation growing about the film adaptation of 'Dreamgirls' starring Beyonce Knowles, Jamie Foxx, Eddie Murphy and 'American Idol's' Jennifer Hudson heating up, Vegas promoter Saxe wants to bring the one-time Broadway musical to The Strip. Trenyce has already been approached to star in that production of 'Dreamgirls' as well.

Relationship Roundup

TLC member Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins is dating Takeo Spikes of the Buffalo Bills. Details are sketchy. A rep for the singer said she was unable to comment on the courtship. We told you last week that actress Gabrielle Union is dating Minnesota Vikings safety Darren Sharper. The two have been making the rounds, attending several Hollywood soirees and even the Kentucky Derby together. Union is getting a divorce from her husband, former NFL player Christopher Howard.

R&B singer Lil' Mo is dating neo-soul crooner Raheem DeVaughn. The pair apparently met and began a "friendship" while touring together on last fall's Seagram's Gin Live concert tour. Mo, who is in the process of a divorce from husband Al Stone, also appears in the music video for DeVaughn's new single "You."

Nicole Murphy's romance with Atlanta businessman Alan F. Daniels is reportedly over. I saw Murphy in Santa Monica last fall with Daniels, and the two were all over each other in the Fred Segal boutique. The former model's divorce from EX-husband Eddie Murphy is now final.

Nia Long is rumored to be dating Reggie Bush of the New Orleans Saints. But she'll likely deny this report and have whoever is her publicist now call me screaming, so I take back everything I just reported in advance.


Soul Music

The 'Hardest Working Woman in Gospel' Vickie Winans recorded the live component of her 30-song double-disc, 'Woman To Woman: Songs of Life,' at the 10,000-seat House of Hope in Oak Lawn, Ill. on May 12. The live concert was hosted by Bishop T.D. Jakes and the session also commemorated Winans' twentieth anniversary in the music business.

Backed by a full band and mini-orchestra under the command of music director Steven Ford (Richard Smallwood, Donnie McClurkin) and a vocal ensemble and 30-voice choir directed by Tyscot recording artist Vashawn Mitchell, Winans recorded 11 new songs. The gospel veteran's son Mario Winans wrote a song called "Stand Up and Carry On" for the session, and Winans also recorded a track by Brent Jones called "The Rainbow." She collaborated with group Special Gift on the title track; re-made the Walter Hawkins classic "Lord I Love You;" and brought the house down with the gospel standard "Stretch Out."

Winans, a multiple Grammy-, Stellar- and Dove-Award winner, honored 20 people who have been instrumental in her career. Dr. Bobby Jones, Andre Crouch, Christie Johnson (mother of Earvin "Magic" Johnson), Tom Burrell (founder of Burrell Communications), Veda Brown of Black Gospel Promo and Winans' 82-year-old mother Mattie Bowman-who was near-death just a week before the session-were among those who received the onyx and crystal V Award.

Other notables in attendance for the recording session included Sandra Crouch, Darius Brooks, 'Queen of Gospel' Albertina Walker, Mark Hubbard, Angie Winans, Orlando Wright, Neily Dickerson, Leanne Faine, Calvin Terrell (Sister 2 Sister), Delores "Mom" Winans, April Washington, Alvin Williams (Gospel Music Channel), Inez Andrews of The Caravans and the entire Zomba Gospel executive team.

Buzzworthy

Actor Hill Harper ('CSI: NY') has partnered with Abercrombie & Fitch for a tour to promote his book 'Letters to a Young Brother,' an inspirational tome done to uplift and empower America's youth. Harper said that publishing his book was no easy task because book companies were not interested in the subject matter. "The book companies told me, 'Hill, we think you can sell books because you're on a show with 17 million viewers, but we don't want this book. You're pitching a book to a population that doesn't read,'" he recalled, during a swank party at the new Mr. Chow in the Tribeca community of New York City.

Among those who attended the soiree, organized by brand strategist Marvet Britto, included actor Jeffrey Wright, Constantine Morales ('American Idol'), Zoë Saldana, Julissa (BET's 'The Center'), Adrienne Bailon of 3LW, director George C. Wolfe, Henry Simmons, Gabrielle Union, Obba Babatunde, Naima Mora ('America's Next Top Model'), Chenoa Maxwell ('G'), Adam Rodriguez ('CSI: Miami') and a host of media professionals. Harper's tour visited Howard University last weekend. For upcoming tour dates, visit www.letterstoayoungbrother.com.

Apparently reality show stars don't watch their own shows after they leave them. 'America's Next Top Model' winner Naima said she's been too busy to catch the last two season's of the Tyra Banks-produced series. "I've been traveling a lot and have been too busy to watch TV," she confessed, before apologizing for being so "loopy." Mora said she was "tired" and then excused herself to go smoke a cigarette. Morales ('American Idol') had a similar response when I probed him for his prediction on the 'Idol' finals. "In all honesty, I haven't been watching," he said. "I'm not sure who's going to win."

Can't Say Names…

Sources say that a former soul-crooning heartthrob is trying to clean up his act and prepare for his comeback. After several run-ins with the law and reports of drug abuse, the singer has checked himself into an international rehabilitation facility in an attempt to get clean for good. Once said singer checks out of rehab, he'll go in with a trainer to get back in shape. Yeah, DeAngelo, it's time to get off the brown sugar and get that six pack back!:D :D

Eddie looks RUFF!!!!:o :o (Yes, I meant to misspell it).

Janet looks great, especially that she also turned 40 last week!!:D :D

Johnny, please stop channeling Kanye.:o:p

SOLANGE KNOWLES’ HUSBAND DANIEL SMITH GETS DRAFTED TO THE NFL

Congrats to Solange’s fine hubby, who got drafted to the Carolina Panthers.

The 23 yr. old wide-receiver was signed as an undrafted rookie free agent by Carolina earlier this month. He signed a three-year deal with the team and received a 5,000 signing bonus.

Daniel played Division I football at the University of Idaho. He married Solange in February of 2004 before the birth of their son, Daniel Jr. in October of 2004. Athletes also run through his family, his half bother is NBA player Cuttino Mobley (LA Clippers).

He seems to be a really low-key and humble dude tho. When asked if he his team mates know about his star-studded family:

“No, nobody knows about that kind of stuff, I don’t go around bragging,” he said with a laugh. “I’m just here to play football and do the best I can.” SOURCE

Well alrighty then cutie…

I thought so as well. The gossip rags here in the NYC said that it was a farce and that they paid that boy $1million to marry her so she wouldn't have a baby out of wedlock. They also stated that he went back to college and was doing his own thing. Anyway the baby is so cute.
