Chris Brown and Rihanna are back together
People magazine is reporting that Chris Brown and Rihanna are back together.
According to the magazine, they are spending some time together at Sean “P. Diddy” Combs’ home in Miami Beach.
This is probably true, but I hope it’s false. If those two end up reconciling, I predict it will turn into Bobby Brown/Whitney Houston type of relationship.
Even if they are back together, the district attorney still has the option of filing charges against Brown.

Jennifer Hudson appeared on Oprah Winfrey Show
R&B singer and Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Hudson broke her silence on a live episode of the Oprah Winfrey Show.
This was the first time Hudson granted an interview since the slaying of her mother, nephew and mother.
During the brief interview, she didn’t go into specifics about the murders.
She said “I’m just glad to be back and be back to work again. Just doing what I love to do is like therapy.”
She also said she became emotional during the grammy’s when her idol Whitney Houston presented the best R&B album award to her.
Hudson performed her latest single “If This Isn’t Love” on the Oprah Show.

Russell Simmons will pay $40,000 in child support
Hip hop mogul Russell Simmons and his supermodel ex-wife Kimora Lee have reached a custody agreement involving their two children.
Simmons agreed to pay $40,000 a month in child support. Kimora will have custody while Simmons will get to see the kids every eight weeks.
Simmons must also buy his daughters a $60,000 vehicle for drivers to chauffeur them around, and it must be replaced every three years until they turn 16 years old. It must be nice to have a new car every three years before you even turn 16.
So, if Simmons is providing all of thses finances, then what is Kimora going to provide for his children?
She has plenty of money as well. She’s a supermodel, actress, reality television star and a fashion designer. Plus, her boyfriend is wealthy actor Djimon Hounsou.
The strangest thing to me about this custody agreement is that the paperwork says when Simmons has visitation, the children must be accompanied by a security guard and a nanny at all times.
Does this mean Kimora doesn’t trust Simmons to be around their children alone?

Jennifer Lopez filed $5 million lawsuit
Singer/actress Jennifer Lopez and husband Marc Anthony are trying to become $5 million richer.
The couple has filed a lawsuit against baby carriage manufacturer Silver Cross. The couple alleges the company used a picture of them to try to sell baby strollers on the company’s Web site.
It’s understandable why this couple would be upset that a company is trying to profit off of their picture without properly compensating them.
But $5 million is too much. I’m sure Lopez and Anthony aren’t worth that much to begin with. A picture of them with a baby stroller is definitely not worth $5 million.

Chris Brown takes anger management classes
Chris Brown is apparently trying to put a positive spin on his shattered image.
The R&B singer recently began attending anger management classes in Glendale, California, according to the New York Daily News.
He is due in court March 5, and this will probably look good to the judge if Brown shows that he took anger management classes.
Maybe the judge will go easy on him for allegedly beating up his girlfriend Rihanna.
After seeing those Rihanna abuse photos, he’s probably going to need 10 years worth of anger management therapy before he’s completely cured.

Passenger files lawsuit against Morgan Freeman
Remember when actor Morgan Freeman was in a car wreck last year? Well now the passenger who was in the vehicle with him is suing him for more than $75,000 to help pay her medical bills.
The car wreck occurred in Charleston Mississippi when Freeman lost control of the vehicle, hit a ditch and rolled. Freeman suffered a few broken bones and the passenger Demaris Meyer suffered head injuries and was airlifted to a hospital.
Demaris Meyer held a press conference Feb. 25, and announced that she has filed a lawsuit against Freeman claiming he failed to properly operate the vehicle.
At the time of the accident, Freeman was going through a divorce with his wife. Some people speculated that Meyer was “the other woman” and that she is responsible for breaking up their marriage.
Meyer addressed this issue during the press conference. She said “I have been labeled as the ‘other woman’ and have been accused of having caused the breakup of Mr. Freeman’s marriage. Nothing could be further from the truth. I had hoped and prayed that Mr. Freeman or his representatives would have set the record straight and cleared my name, but they have not done so and that is why I have chosen to come forward to tell the truth about our relationship.”
“I am not Miss Daisy as I have been referred to in the press,” “I was not and never have been his mistress, nor was I the cause of his marital breakup.”
Meyer said she met Freeman at a dinner party, and he invited her to stay at one of his houses by herself for the night so that she would have an easier time driving to work the next morning, and he was a perfect gentleman. The accident occurred while he was driving her to the house.
I’m not sure if buy that explanation that Freeman was only just going to let a complete stranger stay in his home for the night without expecting anything in return, but I wasn’t there, so I can’t dispute it.
By the way, her lawyer is none other than ambulance chaser Gloria Allred.

Barenaked Ladies lead singer leaves the band
The lead singer of the rock group Barenaked Ladies has left the group to pursue a solo career.
The band released a statement on their Web site that said “By mutual agreement, Steven Page will be parting company with the remaining members of Barenaked Ladies.
The five-member group became popular during the 1990s with their hit song “One Week.”
I’m not yet sure how this group will continue as a band. If the drummer, guitar player or background singer left the group, they would be easy to replace.
But you can’t really replace a lead singer of a group because the sound will be totally different.
That would be like if Destiny’s Child tried to replace Beyonce, or N’Sync tried to replace Justin Timberlake, or Matchbox 20 tried to replace Rob Thomas–it just won’t work.

Britney Spears ex-boyfriend charged with assault, hit and run
Britney Spears’ former papparazzi boyfriend Adan Ghalib has been charged with assault with a deadly weapon and hit and run.
According to the Associated Press, Ghalib is accused of striking a process server with his vehicle at his apartment.
The process server was delivering Ghalib court papers telling him that Britney filed a restraining order against him.
The server’s wrist was broken during the incident.
Assuming the allegations are true, if someone is serving you court papers, running them over with your vehicle won’t make the situation go away. You will still have to answer to the court.
Britney began dating Ghalib in 2007 during a time when her life was in complete turmoil.
