I missed LKL. I saw 20/20. When she mentioned about not having a baby traditionally, I was like WTfudge? Are you and all even doing tha do?

When Larry asked her that last night, she said they didn't know if they want kids but if they do and she wasn't able to conceive, *shudders* they would want to adopt.

On Brad and Angelina--the tabloids have been right on target lately!

I'm suprised no one has talked about Monica giving her babydaddy a strip show for his birthday.

I saw Star's interview on Larry King and I have to admit that she looked happy and was extremely positive about her relationship, career, and weight loss.

Not to mention, I understand why she decided to keep the "method" of weight loss to herself. She led to what "method" she used without saying it...she did not want to come across as endorsing one "method."

Sometimes....folx should just be happy for people......

Yeah, I guess People is a bit different than some of the other tabloids...not to mention MSN...plus when the publicist goes public, I guess it's a done deal.

LOS ANGELES -- Angelina Jolie is expecting a baby this summer with Brad Pitt, finally affirming the long-presumed relationship previously only glimpsed on African beaches and in paparazzi snapshots.

Pitt's publicist, Cindy Guagenti, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Jolie is pregnant and that Pitt is the father, confirming People magazine's earlier report.

"Yes, I'm pregnant," the magazine quoted Jolie as telling a charity aid worker Monday in the Dominican Republic, where she is filming "The Good Shepherd" with Matt Damon.

I'll believe it when I start to see the belly bump.
To go from wearing Billy Bob Thortons to having Brad Pitts baby. It just...too much.

A new magazine...People or US Weekly...something has a pic of her bump. It's noticeable.

:: Patty Jackson's 411 for the week of January 9th, 2005:


Funeral services are set for Friday the 13th for Singer Lou Rawls. Rawls died last week. He was suffering from brain and lung cancer. The 72 year-old entertainer was in the midst of getting his latest marriage annulled at the time of his death. During the last several months, he realized he made a terrible mistake when he married his third wife. She was a much younger woman, and he caught her stealing his money. The wife admitted stealing his money, but she claims she did it to keep his daughters from getting the money. At the time of his death, she was still legally his wife, and the fight will be on for the remainder of the fortune. Rawls' daughters were at their father's side when he died. He has an older son who is in prison, and a one year-old son by his latest wife. I am sure the daughters are going to demand a DNA test to see if the baby is by their dad. I hear the baby was adopted. It's a shame he had to go through this at the end of his life. His wife has been nothing but trouble from day one. A few years ago, she had him arrested for assault. Rawls had a spectacular career with his music, but he will be remembered for his work with the United Negro College Fund. He has been their spokesperson since 1979, and he helped to raise over $200 million to help deserving students go to school.

How did Star Jones lose 150 pounds? Well, you won't find out from reading her latest tell all book. In her book, Shine: A Physical, Emotional And Spiritual Journey To Finding Love, which is available in stores, Star talks about her battle with obesity, her views on finding love, and, of course, she talks about her stud muffin husband, Al Reynolds. Is she fed up with the gay rumors about her hubby? You betcha! Star describes her husband as a beautiful man, a superstud with the legs of a stallion. She says she doesn't deal with questions of his sexual orientation. She says she knows who her husband is. She talks about how they remained celibate before their marriage. There was no premarital sex. They learned to make love without intercourse. Despite the stories about his past, male friends, and his mysterious arrest in the middle of the night last year, Star is standing by her man. And, since he has decided to leave his job, he will be traveling with Star to promote her book. The book tour is costing the publishing company a whopping $85 thousand. Star is requesting that bodyguards accompany her and Al across the country as they promote the book. Star wants to help others find love. She gives a ton of advice on how you can be the best you can be. So, back to the question on how she lost weight. She won't say. She just says she had a medical intervention. Sources suspect some type of stomach stapling surgery (Gastric Bypass, The Band). Her weight loss is stunning. She has turned her life around. She is now a size 10. Let's hope her husband doesn't do anything to embarrass her. She wants to be seen as credible as she promotes this book.

What's up with Singer Ron Isley? He was supposed to be sentenced to jail on tax evasion charges, but, there has been a postponement. At press time, he was still awaiting sentencing. He faces up to 26 years in jail on tax evasion charges and for cashing his dead brother's royalty checks. In the meantime, The Isley Brothers are about to release a new song, Baby Making Music, but will Ron be around to promote it?

Dave Chappelle is returning to Comedy Central! Last year, Chappelle stunned the entertainment world when he walked away from a $50 million deal with the Comedy Central Network.

On January 29th, he will be starring in a new standup comedy special for the network.

Wedding bells may be ringing soon for Tracey Edmonds. Tracey Edmonds was married to Singer, Songwriter and Producer Babyface.

My only question is how much older is this fella than Nessa's oldest daughter? It smacks of Demi and Ashton in brown.

I read somewhere that he's 29 and his name is Rob Mack.

[AKA2D '91]

Nessa was married after '84. I'd say '85ish to '86ish. So, her oldest daughter is less than 20 years old. I'd say 17-19 y/o.
