From People Daily...

After considering several offers, Harvard MBA Kwame Jackson said during a taping of CNN's "Larry King Live" this week that he's close to finalizing a deal to work with billionaire mogul Mark Cuban.

"It's going to take quite a bit of time to flush out the details," Jimmy Floyd, Jackson's manager, tells PEOPLE.

Cuban's offer includes handling an investment portfolio and working on operations for the Dallas Mavericks, the basketball team owned by Cuban, according to reports.

Oh no!

I always found her intriguing. One thing I really liked about her...everyone had to work the counter at some point. Her family (I don't know if they still do, but this was true at least up until 2000) had to work in a store at least one day a year.

Hometown Football great Richard Seymore's (New England Patriots) father kills girlfriend, then himself...read about it.

I feel really bad for him (and the rest of both families). Richard seems very nice and down to earth, my friends and I went to a big cookout that he hosted at his home a few months ago. It is all on the news.

OMG-
Richard is a sweetie. I went to college with him at the University of Georgia. Actually, when he was in high school, I was his football recruit hostess when Georgia was recruiting him. His father was very nice. I never would have thought this.

I'll be praying for his family.

He really IS nice. It's kinda sad though (when you think about it), when you know a couple of professional sports players and it's out of the norm for them to be nice. SMH Most everyone I know keeps saying, "But they are so nice!". Unfortunately, bad things happen to nice people too.

:: Patty Jackson's 411 for the week of April 26th, 2004:

Oprah Winfrey is planning a special show for Luther Vandross. Oprah is taking her show on the road May 6th, to visit Luther at his home and the rehabilitation center where he is recovering from a stroke. Luther suffered a stroke a year ago. Last week he turned 53.


On Friday the 30th, Bobby Brown sits down with Dateline NBC to talk about his drug use. Bobby tells why he abused marijuana, cocaine and alcohol. Bobby says he did it to avoid arguing with his wife, Whitney Houston. Now speaking of Whitney, her recovery is not going well. As a matter of fact, is she recovering? Whitney, Bobby and her drug counselor were spotted in the Bahamas and Whitney is still out of control. The drug counselor is apparently just hanging around because Whitney is not getting any better.


Basketball great Michael Jordan is up to his old tricks. According
to published reports Michael is cheating on his wife Juanita again.
Jordan was spotted in Las Vegas with a busty woman who was all over him at the gambling tables in Las Vegas. Jordan lost a fortune over a half million dollars while the woman proceeded to rub all over him and nibble on his ear. After Michael lost his money he left with the women and returned with her the next night as he lost more money. Jordan is worth $400 million. Is he losing his mind wasting his money on women and gambling, and where is Juanita? Michael and Juanita have been married since 1989 and they have three children ages 15, 13, and 11. In 2002, Juanita filed for divorce from Jordan after reports came out from various women that he was sleeping with them. What will Juanita do now? How long will she put up with his cheating? Will she continue to look the other way?

LET'S cut right to the chase: Diddy do or Diddy not? Last night, hip-hop king Sean Combs (the artist otherwise known as P.Diddy) made his stage debut in the first Broadway revival of Lorraine Hansberry's groundbreaking play "A Raisin in the Sun" - and yes, Diddy did.

...who has heard something about Ray Lewis allegedly beating Chili unconcious? My sister said she heard Wendy Williams talking about it, saying that it happened last week, and she doesn't know how it was kept so hush-hush. They said that police were waiting on Ray-Ray to turn himself in by tomorrow. Is this true or a sick rumor?

Say it ain't so Ray-Ray!!!

ETA: I can't find an article anywhere, and I can't get logged on to her site. I think if this were true, it'd be all over the news.

VERY sICK RUMOR!!! I just did a thorough search and all I could find is Usher missing Chilli.

[UpPinkies]

I heard the Ray-Ray and Chilli thing were not true. That would have been plastered all over the news. After that murder trial, his mug shot would have been on the news.
