LMAO!!!

Regarding Vanessa Bryant: She needs to hire a stylist and image consultant just like Kelsey Grammar's wife did. I don't if y'all every saw here on that VH1 show, "The Fabulous Life of...", but she went from a MTV dancer in a bikini to a glamorous wife. Kobe makes too much money not to splurge on her.

It seems like I've hear this before too, like they've been on the verge of divorce before.

Close friends of Chris say he is not serious, but Compton is ready to do battle. For years, she has put up with his nonsense, including an incident when he left her for a Hungarian model. The model claimed she was pregnant by Rock, but the DNA tests proved she was lying. Rock came crawling back to his wife, and they started their own family. If Rock is planning to divorce Malaak Compton, he better be prepared because she is going to get what she deserves. Chris is currently shooting a movie, I Think I Love My Wife, with Kerry Washington (Ray).

He told her not to worry about it because he got a vasectomy. Bobby lied, and now Steffans is pregnant. She wanted to do a TV project with Bobby. She was so angry with Bobby that she threw him out of her home. Bobby has been spotted with another woman, and he is thinking about writing a tell-all book about life with Whitney.

A Miami native is reportedly pregnant with his child. This is a woman who has been seeing the prime minister for years. Lisa Raye is not well liked on the islands.

Since 911, airport security has been very tight. So it makes you wonder, why would anyone try to smuggle a gun on a plane?

Kim also talks, and she says Diddy's relationship with Jennifer Lopez was fake. Does she mind not being married? Kim says as long as Puffy makes us feel like family, she is happy.

In what may signal a custody battle to come, Kevin Federline filed a response Wednesday to wife Britney Spears's divorce claim in L.A. Superior Court.

In the surprisingly quick reply, Federline, like Spears, has made a claim for sole custody of their kids, Sean Preston, 1, and Jayden James (born Sept. 12), with visitation rights for Spears.

Are you serious? And with what money is he going to take care of them with. We all know he has none.

On a lighter and better note

Democrats take control of both the House and the Senate!
Associated Press Writers

WASHINGTON — Democrats wrested control of the Senate from Republicans Wednesday with an upset victory in Virginia, giving the party complete domination of Capitol Hill for the first time since 1994.
Jim Webb's squeaker win over incumbent Sen. George Allen gave Democrats their 51st seat in the Senate, an astonishing turnabout at the hands of voters unhappy with Republican scandal and unabated violence in Iraq. Allen was the sixth Republican incumbent senator defeated in Tuesday's elections.

The Senate had teetered at 50 Democrats, 49 Republicans for most of Wednesday, with Virginia hanging in the balance. Webb's victory ended Republican hopes of eking out a 50-50 split, with Vice President Dick Cheney wielding tie-breaking authority.
The Associated Press contacted election officials in all 134 localities where voting occurred, obtaining updated numbers Wednesday. About half the localities said they had completed their postelection canvassing and nearly all had counted outstanding absentees. Most were expected to be finished by Friday.
The new AP count showed Webb with 1,172,538 votes and Allen with 1,165,302, a difference of 7,236. Virginia has had two statewide vote recounts in modern history, but both resulted in vote changes of no more than a few hundred votes.
An adviser to Allen, speaking on condition of anonymity because his boss had not formally decided to end the campaign, said the senator wanted to wait until most of canvassing was completed before announcing his decision, possibly as early as Thursday evening.
The adviser said that Allen was disinclined to request a recount if the final vote spread was similar to that of election night.
The victory puts Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., in line to become Senate majority leader. He has led the Democrats since Tom Daschle, D-S.D., was defeated two years ago.
