I can't take it! I've come to the conclusion that not one person in here has a bit of sense. I can't even laugh anymore. I thought James Brown had on a robe too. He really went out of his way to look like he was still the hardest working man in showbusiness in that pic.

Robin Givens' car injures pedestrian in Miami

The Associated Press


MIAMI -- Actress Robin Givens struck and critically injured an 89-year-old pedestrian who was in a crosswalk, police said Thursday.

Givens, a star of the 1980s TV comedy "Head of the Class" and the ex-wife of boxer Mike Tyson, struck Maria Antonia Alcover with her sports utility vehicle on Wednesday as the elderly woman was crossing a busy intersection during rush hour, police spokesman Delrish Moss said. Police have ruled it an accident.

Witnesses said Alcovar had gotten more than halfway across the street when the northbound/southbound light turned green and Givens' 2000 Mercedes SUV struck her. Police said Givens' car had been stopped at the traffic light before the accident.

After being hit, Alcover fell backward and her right foot was nearly severed, police said. Givens drove for about 10 feet before witnesses flagged her down. The actress stopped her vehicle, walked back to the victim and stayed with her while police and fire rescue reached the scene.

"She was very cooperative with police last night. She was crying, extremely shaken up and very concerned about the well-being of the victim," Moss said.

Givens, 39, of New York, was issued a traffic summons for failing to use due care when a pedestrian is in the crosswalk. Police said she was traveling with two boys, ages 4 and 10.

"We're looking at it as a pure accident and we don't expect any additional criminal charges whatsoever," Moss said.

Alcover was listed in "extremely critical but stable condition" at Jackson-Memorial Hospital in Miami, Moss said.

Givens also starred in "Boomerang" with comedian Eddie Murphy in 1992. She was married for a year to Tyson; the marriage ended in divorce in 1989.

Givens' Los Angeles-based manager, Alan Iezman, did not immediately return a phone message.

Well no she hit the lady, but stayed. No running away.

I actually think that is not a bad story.

okay, so, Master P was on Dr. Phil last week talking to this wanna-be rapper (whom i don't think will be on the airwaves any time soon) about first handling his business before trying to make it big as a rapper. umm...did Master P NOT feel the need to take his own advice? being that much in debt, at same time buying all the material goods he can get his hands on is not "handlin' business"
plus, as they say on Tom Joyner, i have an "Are you my daddy?" Nick Nolte to James Brown their pix look just alike

TAIPEI (Reuters) - The decomposing remains of a 60-tonsperm whale exploded on a busy Taiwan street, showering nearby cars and shops with blood and organs and stopping traffic for hours, local newspapers said.
The 56-foot dead whale had been on a truck headed for an autopsy at a university earlier this week, when gases from internal decay caused its entrails to explode in the southern city of Tainan.
The whale had died after it was beached on the southwestern coast of the island.

Jamie Foxx Gets Probation for Fight
18 minutes ago


NEW ORLEANS - Comedian Jamie Foxx (news) has been placed on two years probation and fined $1,500 after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor charge stemming from an altercation with security guards at a casino.



Foxx entered the plea Wednesday to disturbing the peace, District Attorney Eddie Jordan announced Friday. Foxx was given a six-month suspended jail sentence in addition to the probation and fine.


The entertainer's sister, Deidre Dixon, pleaded guilty to a felony count of battery on a police officer with injury and to misdemeanor charges of disturbing the peace and resisting arrest.


She was given a suspended sentence of five years in prison for the felony and one year suspended for the misdemeanors. She was placed on five years probation.


Criminal District Judge Frank Marullo fined Dixon $1,500 and ordered her to pay $13,000 in restitution to the officers involved.


As part of the plea agreement, prosecutors dismissed two felony battery counts against Foxx and one count against Dixon.


In a fracas captured by security cameras at Harrah's New Orleans Casino, Foxx and Dixon were arrested April 26, 2003. Police said the two and a group of their friends refused to show identification at the door, then went into the casino and refused to leave.


Authorities said that when police tried to handcuff Dixon, she struggled, freed one of her hands and began swinging the handcuffs still attached to the other hand, hitting a police officer in the face.

Vanity Fair magazine reporter Maureen Orth has written an explosive piece for the March issue in which she reveals new and shocking accusations against Michael Jackson: He allegedly seduced boys by giving them Coca-Cola cans filled with white wine. The pop star purportedly told the boys the wine was called "Jesus juice," and allegedly named red wine "Jesus blood." Jackson has already been charged with seven counts of performing lewd or lascivious acts on a child under 14 and two counts of administering an intoxicating agent. He is free on $3 million bail pending trial.

Orth's named sources for the allegations include attorneys and relatives of the accusers, as well as former Jackson employees. One of those sources, Jackson's former financial advisor, Myung-Ho Lee, reveals to Vanity Fair that Jackson suffered from an addiction to Demerol and morphine and has spent years in and out of rehab. He also allegedly secretly underwent detox in Seoul, Korea.
