That's good. I think that the teeny-boppers are controlling the vote for the young contestants. I also feel that the younger contestants should be focused on school and other things instead of AI.

Celebrity homemaker's ex-broker Bacanovic gets same sentence

Martha Stewart enters court for the sentencing phase of her conviction on a stock-trading scandal in New York City Friday.
The Associated Press

Updated: 4:31 p.m. ET July 16, 2004 NEW YORK - Choking back tears and pleading for leniency, Martha Stewart was sentenced to five months in prison Friday for lying about a stock sale. But the woman who saw her gracious homemaking empire crippled over a single transaction smiled boldly into the cameras outside to denounce her treatment, pitch her company and vow: “I’ll be back.”

Did anyone see the interview with Eric Benet and Diane Sawyer? I missed it. Anyone care to recap for me?

It was a bunch of bull! He dropped a few crocodile tears claiming that he was so distraught and broken up over the divorce.

Key Points:

He claims that it is "not his reality" that Halle would be ready, willing, and waiting to make love to him
He states that he had indiscretions with other women, but they didn't involve sex
He was hurt by being called Mr. Halle Berry
His upcoming album has to be redone because it was a tribute to Halle

He didn't drop any bombshells or tell any new info. It just seemed like a ploy to get on TV.

you thought that too?
I'm sorry, I have no sympathy for adulterers. When he started dating Halle, it never occurred to him that he'd be Mr. Halle Berry?

what ever.. he's a loser!!

I think implying she was bad in bed was tacky...

Eric Benet Breaks His Silence

"I am not a sex addict," the musician told Primetime's Cynthia McFadden in an interview to be broadcast on Thursday night. "I am a person who … through a series of emotional events, troubles, challenges, made some really, really stupid, painful mistakes."

Sounds like denial to me! Why would she go on national tv say he was an addict if he wasn't??

Percussionist McKinley Williams of Frankie Beverly and Maze remains in intensive care following a heart attack he suffered while on stage at the Essence Music Festival. McKinley was performing with the group when he fell over. Frankie was visibly upset and after a long wait resumed with the show. Frankie has been on a non-stop tour. He’s scheduled to be in Atlantic City on Friday the 16th. Frankie and McKinley have worked together for years and Frankie has taken it very hard. The band is asking that you keep McKinley in your prayers. He is going to be temporarily replaced in the band.

This isn't fully true. He did not have a heart attack. According to my chapter member's mother (who works at the hospital), Mr. Williams passed out @ Essence due to problems with gall stones. He was placed in an "intensive care unit" if you will, so that he (Mr. Williams and Frankie) could have privacy. Frankie stayed in N.O. with him days after.Before we left for Nashville, she did not get a chance to get an update on his condition. (FYI)

Anyone hear this on the radio??

Robert Smith, Brandy's ex-hubby, was on WBLS today with Wendy Williams with their daughter and when asked how much he receives in alimoney, he said...

"We were never married."

HE claims Brandy was his girl on the side and his main girl was/is a producer. She is currently seven months pregnant by him.

Robert said when Brandy told him she was preggo, he was SHOCKED and afterwards, him, Brandy, and her mom came up with this plan to say she was secretly married. They were the only three that knew.

He was never in love with Brandy like he loves his main boo.

Rob said if you ever payed attention to the MTV show, you would see he stayed in the background and that's b/c he didn't want his girl to see. She found out about Brandy through the media.

They have joint custody but not on the best terms right now.

He decided to go on Wendy's show b/c he's from NJ and he wanted to apologize aloud to all his friends and family.

Regarding Brandy: Damn! Now I really wonder about speculation that he wasn't the baby daddy.

This in on Diddy:

>The report reads:
P Diddy couldn't keep his hands off this blonde, whom he met up with just after leaving girlfriend Kim. "You would have thought with all his money he would have been able to afford a hotel," remarked an onlooker.

Proof that P Diddy changes his woman more often even than his clothes: here he is stepping out with girlfriend Kim Porter for a shopping spree in Beverly Hills, but only an hour later he was spotted getting hot 'n' heavy
with a mystery woman - still wearing his footie strip.

Of course, I can't upload the photos of Diddy kissing the WC.

CT4...where you at?

Dang Diddy!

Apparently Kim Porter is a masochist. He comes and goes with different as he pleases. Kim is right there every time. She must enjoy being made a fool of.

Oh my is all I can say...never married. Well one thing I can remember is that when the MTV show reality show was on, I did comment several times to friends that he wasn't into it. You rarely saw them together, and he acted as if he wanted no parts of the show, or Brandy, or the baby.
