Is mistress number three becoming bride number two? According to some friends of the ex-wife of a popular television personality, that's exactly what's happening. Apparently said TV talent had been cheating on his wife of more than a decade with women in just about every time zone. When his wife discovered his three extramarital affairs -- not to mention that he'd paid for one mistress's nose job -- she immediately filed for divorce. Now everyone is wondering how long it'll take the mistress with the engagement ring to find out about his newest fling.


Sounds like Montel...

Any ideas?

My guess is Damon Wayans from My Wife and Kids. I think that his wife recently divorced him.

Damon has been married to his wife longer than that.

What did supermodel Tyson Beckford want for Christmas? Apparently a check from Sean (Diddy) Combs. Most recall that Beckford filed a $5 million breach of contract and copyright infringement against Diddy’s Sean Jean company in August 2005, claiming that the clothing company failed to renew his contract despite continuing to use his image as the face of company.

Now Beckford has apparently made retiring from the modeling industry his New Year’s resolution. “The drama with Sean John, it just turned me off about the whole industry. I can’t blame the whole industry because they didn’t mistreat me. It’s just that in the final stretch of my career, I wanted to go out styling and do something for my people--as I thought I was doing,” he told Men’s Fitness editor Patrick Taliaferro.

Though he and Diddy were once pals, Beckford doesn’t expect to party with his former hip-hop comrade anytime soon. “When somebody owes you money, no matter what they say—the blood is still not good. So now I am like, ‘We gotta go to court.’ I don’t want to do it, but you can’t just let people walk over you. My image is trademarked,” he concluded.

Orlando Jones will star in an ABC mid-season replacement series called ‘Evidence’ opposite Oscar winner Martin Landau. The crime-drama will also feature ‘Martin’ star Carl Anthony Payne.

Angell Conwell (‘Baby Boy’) will star in ‘Show Stoppers,’ a movie about Greek steppers at a historically black college in Virginia. The comedy was written by Mark Harris and was shot last fall in Los Angeles. Tamala Jones (‘The Brothers’), Clifton Powell (‘The Gospel’), Brian Hooks (‘Eve’), Bryce Wilson (‘Beauty Shop’), (‘White Chicks’) and NFL legend Jim Brown (‘Any Given Sunday’) round out the cast.

Allen Payne is apparently working on a new show called ‘House of Payne,’ which playwright-turned-filmmaker Tyler Perry is producing along with Hollywood veteran Reuben Cannon. The show will shoot in Atlanta and is being produced independently. Additional details were not available at press time.

Said comic was apparently close pals with the late legend, and his absence became the table talk of the post-funeral supper. Widows of the deceased funnyman contemplated the reasoning of the absentee friend—was he avoiding a former lover or afraid to face a music veteran he dogged on an awards show?

This one is easy.
Paul Mooney

^^^^
Why was I thinking this was someone else? That's what I get for reading too fast!

Yeah, Paul didn't want to face the wrath of Diana...

[ladygreek]

I'm mad they said WIDOWS of the deceased comic. Heck he didn't commit bigamy.

[AKA2D '91]

Tyson v. Diddy...a catfight?

Paul Mooney: I DOUBT he was afraid to hold his own against a music veteran whoever it is or former lover. Maybe he wanted to grieve in peace.

BTW, I saw an ep of Good Times recently. I was surprised to see that Mr. Mooney was a "side" character on the show. The ep: TC wants JJ so she goes to the club all made up. Paul was one of the guys swooning after her at her table.

From the New York Post

January 3, 2006 -- NEVER send nasty letters to a spouse you want to divorce - they just might haunt you later in court. Best-selling author Terry McMillan found out the hard way during her ugly split with ex-husband Jonathan Plummer. Her marriage to the much-younger Jamaican, which inspired the book and movie "How Stella Got Her Groove Back," imploded earlier this year after Plummer confessed to a gay affair. But recently obtained divorce papers reveal he wasn't the only one getting his groove on. In a series of letters submitted to the court by Plummer, McMillan throws her own affairs in his face: "I wonder how you'd feel if I told you that I had plenty of sex when I was in New York. When I was in Spain and Paris," McMillan wrote. "That I have been cheating on you for three years because you were a drag, because you were boring, because you got on my nerves because you were embarrassing . . . you acted like a homosexual and you couldn't carry on an intelligent conversation." McMillan won her case in spite of the screeds, paying Plummer just $50,000 to walk away, reports Justice magazine.

Oooh the poor thing is still really hurting over this huh.......

[AKA2D '91]

^^
I didn't read it as if she is still hurting. I read it as part of a news blurb of what was found in the court documents.




It's an old blurb.... "imploded earlier this year". Umm, it's dated 1/3/06. So, on 1/1/06 or 1/2/06, she is still going through her divorce? Naaaaaaaaa. The divorce was final months ago.

I don't read that as her saying she was cheating but instead how would he feel if the situation was reversed.

You're right. Page Six had a slow "gossip" day. But those documents were months-old, as the end of the article indicated, with Terry M. only having to cough up $50K.

Lindsay Lohan Admits Eating Disorder, Drug Use In Vanity Fair Interview
01.04.2006 4:21 PM EST

'I was sick. ... [People said], 'You're going to die if you don't take care of yourself,' ' singer/actress says.

Lindsay Lohan has finally come clean on rumors about her incredibly shrinking body, admitting in the new issue of Vanity Fair that her low body weight was due to bulimia. She also tells the magazine that she has experimented with drugs in the





"You have to learn for yourself and you have to hit rock bottom sometimes to get yourself back up to the top." — Lindsay

"I was sick," the singer/actress says in the magazine's February issue. "Everyone was scared. And I was scared too. I had people sit me down and say, 'You're going to die if you don't take care of yourself.' "

One of those interventions took place in May 2005 when Lohan — who was hospitalized Monday after an asthma attack (see "Lindsay Lohan Hospitalized After Asthma Attack") — hosted "Saturday Night Live." Castmembers Amy Poehler and Tina Fey, who had worked with Lohan in "Mean Girls," were concerned that the actress was getting too thin. "Amy was good and tough on her," Fey tells Vanity Fair, "saying, 'You're too skinny ... I'm not going to ask you why, but you're too skinny and I don't like it.' "

Fey and show producer Lorne Michaels also held an intervention of sorts, according to the magazine. They let Lohan know what they had witnessed with John Belushi and Chris Farley, who both died of drug overdoses, telling her they were concerned about her following the same self-destructive path.

"They sat me down," Lohan says, "literally before I was going to do the show, and they said, 'You need to take care of yourself. We care about you too much, and we've seen too many people do this,' and I just started bawling. I knew I had a problem and I couldn't admit it."

Even more convincing, Lohan says, was seeing images of her "SNL" appearance in Star magazine. "My arms were disgusting," she says. "I had no arms. My sister, she was scared. My brother called me, crying."

Just six months before the "SNL" appearance, Lohan had what she said should have been a wake-up call (see "Lindsay Lohan Hospitalized, Undergoing Tests"). "I started to get really bad head pains, I was shaking in my trailer," she recalls. "I got a fever of 102 and they were like, 'You need to go to the hospital.' I was like, 'No, I'm not going to the hospital.' I went back to my boyfriend's house, lay down on the bed. I started getting these shooting head pains, where I would wake up in the middle of the night. I kid you not, I was lying in that bed and I never heard someone scream so loud. I was screaming, throwing things, because the pains were so intense in my head, like someone was stabbing me in my head."

When Lohan finally sought medical attention and discovered she had a kidney infection, she considered it a cry for help. "I didn't want to complain, but that was my way to complain," she says, "to actually let everyone know, 'Yeah, I actually am really sick.' " She lost 15 pounds while in the hospital. "I wasn't eating. I was on an IV."

Lohan has since regained some of the weight, which she shows off by posing nude in the Vanity Fair photo spread. But according to the story, she displayed an appetite that suggests her binging-and-purging days may not be that far behind — such as ordering five pieces of chocolate cake to eat in private or placing several orders of curried chicken "because you never know who's going to drop by." But Lohan wasn't interested in hearing any more concern. "Don't ever say this to me, 'Are you OK?' " she says. "It's like, 'Yeah, motherf-----, I'm fine.' "

She also tells the magazine that she has experimented with drugs "a little," but then qualifies her remark. According to the article, "When asked later if those drugs included cocaine, [Lohan] gets flustered, denies it, and says, 'I don't want people to think that I've done ... you know what I mean? It's a sore subject. I've lost a family member over it, practically.' "

Still, Lohan says she's been through the worst and now considers herself in a position to help others.

"You have to learn for yourself and you have to hit rock bottom sometimes to get yourself back up to the top," Lohan says. "Going through sh-- makes me that much stronger. [And] I'm in a place where I can really make an impact on people and really help ... people with anorexia. I can change that a little bit. I'm not encouraging going out and getting a fake ID and going off the deep end and having an eating disorder. I'm saying, if you at least admit those kinds of things, that that might happen, then they don't feel the urge to go out and do that."
