I did hear that, but I kinda just brushed it off. I'm not surprised to hear that either though.

World recognized female boxing champion and spokesmodel Laila Ali stated today that she wants to set the record straight regarding her divorce and the rumors that she is a Lesbian. Despite being previously married for the last five years, reports in the news have stated that Laila got a divorce and began dating a high profile actress. Laila responded by saying, "Yes, I am in the process of getting a divorce, but I am not dating, nor will I ever be dating a woman, because I am not gay. It is unfortunate that my divorce has started rumors in the media that are untrue."

Ali is currently training for an upcoming bout in Berlin, Germany, December 17th, as part of a world tour that she will be embarking on through 2006.

Warning Issued for Birth-Control Patch By MARTHA MENDOZA, AP National Writer


The makers of a popular birth-control patch warned millions of women Thursday that the patch exposes them to significantly higher doses of hormones and may put them at greater risk for blood clots and other serious side effects than previously disclosed.

The warning from Johnson and Johnson subsidiary Ortho McNeil, makers of Ortho Evra, says women using the patch will be exposed to about 60 percent more estrogen than those using typical birth-control pills because hormones from patches get into the bloodstream and are removed from the body differently than those from pills.

Citing federal death and injury reports, the AP also found that about a dozen women, most in their late teens and early 20s, died in 2004 from blood clots believed to be related to the birth-control patch, and dozens more survived strokes and other clot-related problems.


Now just a few weeks ago my doc told ME that the patch had less estrogen than the pills and less side effects. What the heck am I supposed to think now??

Ohhhhhhhhh no I just received my prescription today. I passed on "the ring" because I didn't want less estrogen. Well goodness abstinence...that is like 99.99999999% with no side effects.

I've been on it for two years & I haven't had any side effects or complications, not even weight gain. With any medication be it aspirin or ortho-evra there are risks involved with each individual. So really it has to be taken on a case by case basis. It's been approved by the FDA so it is safe enough to be out there. My advice would be as with any medication, watch how YOU respond to it. You know your body better than anyone.

Flo Jackson (or whatever her name is) said on the radio today that Laliah and Queen Latifiah are NOT DATING and there is a possiblity that they don't even know each other. It's a Internet rumor.

HOMESTEAD, Pa. - The new 50 Cent movie "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" has been pulled from a theater where a man was fatally shot even though officials said Thursday they do not know whether the film was a factor in the slaying.

Loews Corp. decided to stop showing the rapper's bullet-ridden bio while the investigation is going on, said John McCauley, the company's vice president of marketing.

"We're unclear whether there is a direct connection," McCauley said.

He said the company is doing all it can to make sure patrons are safe at the 22-screen multiplex in a popular entertainment-and-shopping complex just east of Pittsburgh.

Shelton Flowers, 30, had just watched the rapper's movie Wednesday when he got into a confrontation with three men in the bathroom. A fight ensued and spilled out into the concessions area, where Flowers was shot, police said.

Authorities were looking for witnesses, and no suspects were immediately arrested.

Kanye West can handle gold diggers, but he'll need the best lawyers money can buy to fend off a big-bucks court battle.

West has been hit with a $10.5 million countersuit from a Chicago deejay in their ongoing tug-o-war over some early tracks recorded by the Grammy-winning, chart-busting hip-hopster.

In August, the "Gold Digger" rapper filed a federal lawsuit seeking to bar Eric "E-Smoove" Miller from releasing a 10-song album West recorded a decade ago when he was just a teenager. West claims his signature on a contract was forged by Miller.

West wants a judge to block Miller from shopping the prefame tracks, which include such ditties as "Ho!!!" and "Stop Frontin'," to distributors. His suit seeks at least $1.3 million in damages and an injunction barring Miller from using West's name or voice in connection with the recordings.

But in his counterclaim, filed Oct. 28 in Chicago, Miller says the signature and contract are valid. Miller says he cowrote the music with West and that West was fully aware that Miller and his company, Focus Music Group, would own the master recordings.

Miller, a producer and writer who has worked with the likes of Michael Jackson and Al Jarreau, says he should be entitled to profits from the tracks.

Neither West nor Miller attorneys would comment on the dust-up.

Whoever wrests control of the tracks could be in line for a major windfall, considering West's Midas touch on the charts.

His latest release, Late Registration, has moved more than 2 million copies since its release in August.

"Gold Digger," the unstoppable single from the disc, has now topped Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart for 10 consecutive weeks. The track, which features vocals from Jamie Foxx, has been number one for nine straight weeks on the Hot Ringtones chart and eight in a row on the Pop 100.

Dang!

Halle's preggers ....

Denzel?

SNOOP DOGS?




On Soap box
Halle - you need Jaysus joy! A man nor a baby aint gon' do what He can.

Off Soap box

But, I wish her the best. That'll be one beautiful baby if it's true.

Denzel (I must be old if ya'll don't remember this...)

Years ago there was a big hullabaloo about how unfaithful Denzel was (I think it was before Cosby's spot was blown up....) Anyhoo, to offset it, he admitted it, talked about learning the er of his ways, yadda, yadda, yadda and it kinda blew over. If this is true, what's really disapointing is the lies, and hopefully it's not Sanaa. She & Omar Epps didn't get married?

All of these couples trippin' & splittin' .... What is really going on in Hellywood, .... I mean Hollywood?

This really has me upset..not the shooting, but the response to pull the movie from theatres. A random dude got into an argument at the movies. I don't think the two are connected at all. If I decide to rob a bank after hearing a joke on David Letterman, is he going off the air temporarily? Doubt it. Here there was a heavy police presence at theatres where the movie was playing and the later shows were cancelled. Are you serious? This just makes no sense to me.

Sanaa does look like she may have had a child or maybe she's just getting older and her body has changed. I can't see her and Denzel.

[nikki1920]

nope, Omar is with Keisha from Total. They have two kids together. He was messing with her for part of the time that he and Sanaa were together.

Here are picture's of the couple

[AKA2D '91]

Kesha looks "different". Are they married? It seems like maybe Sanaa interrupted their relationship. That oldest child is pretty old.

[nikki1920]

I think they are. He was tipping out on both of them. Sanaa had it, according to rumor, when he gave her one too many STDs.

Keisha looks nice.. like her hair.

I was thinking the same thing....there seems to be a lot happening in Hollyweird!


But...Sorors, Sisterfriends, and Greekfriends....keep up the good work and keep reporting....LOL.
