Judge Greg Mathis
(Jun. 12, 2002) *According to reports, Judge Greg Mathis may be headed to Judge Mabelean Ephriam’s “Divorce Court” if the accusations surrounding him are true.
The television judge has reportedly had a secret mistress named Lawanda Duncan, who is a physical therapist claiming she had an 8-month affair with Mathis.
Duncan claims that during the affair she participated in orgies with the judge and that the honorable one gave her a sexually transmitted disease three different times.
Ooh wee! There's MORE. Lot's more 'juice' here:

SWV
(Jun. 11, 2002) Reunited…And It Feels So Good: Guess who’s back together? Ugh huh, it’s SWV. You heard it here first that Coko (born Cheryl Gamble), Taj (born Tamara Johnson), and Lelee (born Leanne Lyons) have reunited and will begin recording a brand new album this summer. I spoke to two of the Sisters With Voices recently about the group reassembling.
“I’m very excited and nervous at the same time,” said Lelee about the reunion. Coko chimed in, “I’m looking forward to recording again with Lelee and Taj. I definitely think our fans will appreciate what we’re bringing.”
SWV tore through the ‘90s as the chart-topping New Jill Swing trio and scored big with hits like "I’m So Into You," "Weak," "Right Here," and "Downtown." One of the group’s biggest hits, "Anything," was featured on the “Above The Rim” soundtrack. In the summer of 1995, the trio lent vocal harmonies to the Blackstreet hit, "Tonight's the Night." SWV also recorded the intimate slow jam "All Night Long" for the groundbreaking “Waiting To Exhale” soundtrack.
In total, SWV recorded three albums: 1994’s “It’s About Time,” 1996’s “New Beginning,” and 1997’s “Release Some Tension,” and after their breakup, a “Greatest Hits” album was released in 1999.
After nearly a four-year hiatus from recording together, do the girls still think there is a demand for groups like SWV? “I think there’s a demand for groups period,” explained Lelee. “As far as girl groups, I think Destiny’s Child held it down for a long time. It’s funny because [when they started] we were like big sisters to them. To see them blossom like that, I think about us a lot. If we had the right direction and guidance, we could’ve been just as big,” she concluded.
It has been no secret that a major fallout between the girls caused the group to disband, so what makes this time around any different for the group? “We are adults now,” emphasized Lelee, who believes immaturity and external negative influences helped cause the group to breakup initially. “We’ve put the past behind us and we’re ready to work towards the future,” said Coko. “[We have] unity now,” added Lelee.
The future for the group now includes working on a new album. “We start recording in July when Coko finishes her play,” informed Lelee. The ladies are mum about a record deal for now and would only say that, “we’re entertaining multiple offers at this point.”
Since SWV parted ways in 1997, each of them has been quite busy with their individual endeavors. Lelee moved to Atlanta and her company, Margy Inc., partnered with a friend’s wedding planning business to book talent for weddings and receptions. She also took time to get her G.E.D. “I’m really proud of that,” exclaimed Lelee. “The average person would look at that as something very small, but it was a challenge for me because I wouldn’t get off of my butt and do it. It’s my biggest accomplishment in life!”
Taj moved to Los Angeles and started going to college. Though both Coko and Lelee know that Taj is graduating this month, neither can remember the name of her school or what she’s studying. “Honey, that’s the one thing I don’t know,” laughed Lelee. “All I know is that it is in L.A.” Ditto for Coko who said, “I forgot!”
Coko (who cut her long trademark fingernails more than six years ago) sang on Will Smith’s multi-award-winning smash hit single "Men In Black," the title-song from the blockbuster movie’s soundtrack, as well as recorded duets with Jon B. for the “Hav Plenty” soundtrack, with Johnny Gill for the “Booty Call” soundtrack, and with LSG on their self-titled album. She then released her debut solo album “Hot Coko” in 1998, with the standout single “Sunshine.” This year, Coko began touring with the Babyface and the David E. Talbert stage play “Love Makes Things Happen,” which also stars Kevon Edmonds of After 7, comedian Joe Torry, and Dawn Robinson of En Vogue. She is also featured on the new gospel album by Brent Jones & T.P. Mobb on a track called “Midnight,” and on Bishop Eric McDaniel's “We Are Healed” album on the cut “Some How, Some Way.”
SWV is not certain when fans can expect their new material, but for now, they just want people to know they’re back in stride again. “I’m sure we’ll get the support that we’ll need,” said Lelee about when the new music is finished. Keep your eyes and ears open for the return of SWV.
