Whoa! I wonder what was the straw that broke the camel's back with Eric and DeShawn. He probably got tired of her wasting money. He ain't making that NBA money anymore. Man, I hope this doesn't get ugly, but I can only imagine how it could if DeShawn is looking to continue the lavish lifestyle, which I'm more than sure she is. Eric, good luck with that.
I will definitely be tuned in to OchoCinco's reality show. It can't be any worse than Basketball Wives. 85 women in 10 days, I'm sure there will be some serious catfights.
I like Janet's new haircut. Everyone seems to be giving her a hard time but it looks good on her. And sheez, if she doesn't like it, she can always add some like she's (and everyone else) been doing.
Okay, I can understand Elin is hurt and more than anything, embarrassed by her husband's infidelity, but $750 million! I say GOTDAYUM!!! You know, at first I had typed that this was a bit much for a woman and her child, but I ALMOST forgot that Tiger had run around with about 13-15 women while he was married. Chile, GET THAT MONEY! That dude humiliated you!
Blair Underwood is back with a third installment of the Tennyson Hardwick series! Whoo-hoo! I'm telling ya'll. If you haven't read any of these books (Cassanegra, In the Heat of the Night), go pick them up! They are GREAT reads! And I just went back and looked at the episode of Wendy Williams when he was on there last week, and he said that they're coming out with what he calls "Vooks". These are video trailers to the books. It's not an entire video of the book but you will be able to download it from iTunes and I want to say books.com. I personally can do without the "vooks" because they have Blair as the lead actor and he is not who I see when I read about that sexy ass Tennyson (or Ten).
I've heard about Patti's surprise birthday party. I thought she was turning 70. It seems like she's been 66 for a minute now.
Halle Berry is crazy. There's no other word to describe her. That woman has SERIOUS issues and men seem to think it's the men in her life that have problems. Nah, it ain't them. That woman needs to go sit down and talk to somebody ASAP.
I ain't mad at Nick Cannon. People be clowning him but he's the one laughing his ass off all the way to the bank. Keep doing your thang bruh! You got a GREAT mentor in Will Smith. That dude taught you HOW to become a businessman. Phuck all the haters and good luck with you and Mariah Carey with the baby. They're a power couple who I believe are really in love with one another. And they're STILL married.
Didn't know Common and Serena Williams were still together all that time. And now it's splitsville for them. Well....he can always come my way. That man is beautiful inside AND out.
So.....Khloe and Lamar are having a baby. I just saw an episode a couple of weekends ago where she thought she was pregnant, and now it's happening. Congrats to them.
And that former mayor of Detroit. Lawd. I heard he and his wife were down in Dallas renting out a million dollar gated property. Now, if you're claiming you have no money, how are you living in that house? You may not have ownership of the place, but the rent isn't cheap either. Yeah, send his behind to jail.
I can't get with that Kem song. I've tried but it makes my ears hurt. That voice is so annoying. Never realized it until I heard this song. I hear the message is good, but I just can't get with it.
How come nobody told me about Trey Songz' new reality show on BET? I thought we were tight. I'll be tuned in fa sho!
Fantasia's CD couldn't have dropped at a better time. I got a ticket to catch her at the Birchmere on the 22nd of July so I'll be able to preview it and know what the hell she's singing, LOL.
I hope to catch SATC2 this weekend sometime. If you've seen it, do NOT give it away (yes YNS, I'm talking to you, LOL).
Okay, I'm about sick of everything Steve Harvey, but if the morning show is going to be broadcast LIVE on TV, then I'd DVR it. If it's not interesting, I'm done. His show is already ustreamed, so I'm not really surprised to read this. For those who care, he will be on Dr. Phil today (5/28/2010).
Alright. The underground buzz. I have two people. Regina King or Alicia Keys. And speaking of AK, I almost forgot to touch on her news (damn my fingers are hurting! they are damn near asleep from all of this typing!). So, she's preggers, huh? I heard about the engagement, but I guess time will tell if any of this news is true.
ETA: Necole Bitchie has a link that CONFIRMS Alicia Keys' pregnancy. I also saw the article on www.msnbc.com. Check it out.
