There’s more drama going on between R&B singer Usher and his former wife Tameka Foster Raymond.

According to TMZ, Usher called the police on Tameka accusing her of intentionally scratching up his car. 

Police said there was no evidence to suggest Tameka was the perpetrator. 

Tameka’s representatives released a public statement that said “This is just another attempt to disparage Tameka. It’s simply an angry ploy that has no meritTameka’s own truck was scratched but it’s not clear how. The truck is registered in her name, it’s not even Usher’s car. Why would she vandalize her own vehicle?

Although Usher and Tameka might be angry with each other, I think it’s important for them to keep their dirty laundry on the hush hush because they still have two children young children together.

Usher released a new song titled “Papers” earlier this week, and the lyrics describe the couple’s divorce.  Click here to listen to the song.

When R&B singer Usher married his stylist Tameka Foster in 2007, many critics and fans predicted the marriage wouldn’t last long because they seemed like an unmatched couple.

The couple divorced two years later in 2009 after they had two children together.  The short marriage even caused a rift between Usher and mother Jonetta Patton, who didn’t attend the wedding. 

In his new song released Monday, Usher discusses his divorce to Foster.  The song is titled “Papers,” and the lyrics describe why he chose to sign the divorce papers.

The lyrics to the song’s chorus are….”I done damn near lost my mama, I done been through so much drama, I done turned into the man that I never thought I’d be. I’m ready to sign them papers, papers, papers. I done took all I can take, but you leave me no option girl. I can’t deny how much I love you, I done gave up everything I had to As hard as it is I’m afraid I got to say. I’m ready to sign them papers, papers, papers.”

The song is posted below. 


Did Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel break up?

Justin Timberlake, Jessica Biel and US Weekly

Did Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel break up? That’s what a popular entertainment magazine is alleging.

Timberlake and Biel are on the cover of the latest issue of US Weekly magazine.  The magazine claims they have broken up after three years. 

However, People magazine is reporting they are still together, and they were photographed holding hands earlier this week.

Which doesn’t mean much because I remember LeAnn Rimes was photographed kissing her husband Dean Sheremet, then they filed for divorce shortly after the kiss.

If the break up news turns out to be true, I would be disappointed because I had high hopes for Timberlake and Biel as a couple.  They seemed like the perfect pair.

Meanwhile, Timberlake is preparing for his upcoming role in the Facebook film “The Social Network.”  Biel is currently filming “A-Team,” which is based on the 1980s television show.


Fred Durst divorcing wife of two months

Fred DurstIt’s probably the shortest Hollywood marriage so far this year.  Limp Bizkit lead singer Fred Durst and his wife Esther Nazarov are divorcing, two months after they tied the knot.

Durst made the announcement on his Twitter page Monday (Sept. 28).  He tweeted “For those of you inquiring, I will confirm that Esther and I have decided to go our separate ways and we both thank you for your support. We remain very positive and wish only the best for each other.”

The couple married in July during a Las Vegas ceremony. 

Although this marriage is over before it began, it still doesn’t beat Britney Spears’ record.  Spears married childhood friend Jason Alexander in 2004, but it was annulled two days later.


Did Alicia Keys steal someone’s husband?

Alicia Keys 3

The alleged “other woman” is putting R&B singer Alicia Keys on blast.  The alleged “other woman” is R&B singer Mashonda.  Alicia is currently dating Mashonda’s husband Swizz Beatz.

Mashonda and Swizz Beatz are currently going through a divorce, but Mashonda claims Alicia is the reason the marriage broke up.  She’s accusing Alicia of stealing her husband. 

Mashonda posted an open letter to Alicia.  The letter is posted below.

Alicia Keys 2“After having a great evening with my son and enjoying some fun twit chat, I decided to sign off and get some work done. However, a few hours later I was advised that I should check @Alicia keys twit page.”

“I’ve never reached out to her on twitter before. I feel our issues are a lot more serious than a website conversation. Not to mention that I’ve reached out to her many times in the beginning of this whole thing, as any wife would do.”

“Unfortunately, I never succeeded in getting a response. The 1st time I meet AK, my husband introduced us to each other at an event. ( I have no choice but to call him my husband, until he is not anymore) In the messages that I sent to her (AK), I made it very clear that on the contrary of what she might be hearing, I am still married to my husband, living with him and just had a child.”

“Its been two years and I still have not received a response. What I do receive, is constant displays of selfishness and disconcern to me and my son.”

“I was a fan of AK’s last album, we were both signed to J Records and I always checked up on her projects. I sang her songs and admired her for creating Superwoman and Karma, I would never deny her, her talent. I believed in her until I found out she was possibly sleeping with my husband. The affair was denied by both, until it was finally admitted months later.”

“Already I can hear some of you saying “why are u blaming her, You cant make someone leave their wife, You cant break something thats broken”. Well, my marriage was not broken, as far as I knew we were celebrating our sons birth and getting ready to celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary . Call it blind love, whatever. I call it being a devoted wife.. As far as me blaming her and not blaming him, thats false. Me and my husband have worked out our differences. We are in a good place as people and as parents. I accept his choices and I am comfortable enough with myself to move on. I am so very blessed in many ways.”

Alicia Keys 1“My concern with AK is no longer the fact that she assisted in destroying a family but that she has the audacity to make these selfish comments about love and wanting to be with someone, even after knowing their situation. How is this the same Superwoman that I sang out loud with in my truck? I ask myself sometimes.”

“If you are reading this Alicia, let me start by saying, you know what you did. You know the role you played and you know how you contributed to the ending of my marriage. You know that I asked you to step back and let me handle my family issues. Issues that you helped to create.”

“Im not saying everything was perfect all the time but no relationship is perfect. We made a vow to God and I believe you should have respected that, as a woman. I know you owe me or my son nothing but I just wish you would’ve handled things more carefully. I’m not judging you, I put you and the whole situation in the hands of God, the Higher Power. Just know that as a woman, I expected so much more from you. I never had intentions on reaching out to you this way but after reading your twits tonight, and the constant disregard, you left me no choice. I feel that after 1 and a half years of you hiding this affair and acting like it doesnt exist, that now is the time to confront it, since you talk so openly about it now.”

“This is not a publicity stunt, I dont have a record coming out. I just need to close this chapter in my life and that means confronting our issues. There is a small child involved. His dad loves him to death and he wants to spend more time with him but hes afraid because he knows we don’t have a relationship. This is my main concern. My son NEEDS his dad and I NEED to be comfortable with you. For him!”

Alicia Keys“I know many will see my point and many will not be able to look into what’s real because they only want to see Alicia Keys the celebrity, not the human. This is not for the “people”, this is for you. Like I said I was left no choice but to reach out to you this way. By now, Im sure you want to find a balance in this as well.”

“I read your tweets tonight and I felt they were very insensitive. You have no idea how much pain I was caused because of this affair. Its baffling to me that you don’t understand what I might have gone through with this situation. I dont consider myself a victim anymore, Ive learned alot from this! I just ask you to try and be a bit more realistic and delicate to the situation, at least until my divorce is final. I felt me attending the party would have been a starting point for us, since you shook my hand after I offered it, but I suppose I was wrong.”

“If its so, that you and my husband are meant to be together, then God bless you both and I hope you never have to deal with what I did. I would not wish it on my worst enemy. If you two being together forever is the case, its more of a reason for us to get along, because I’m not going anywhere. Theres a child to be raised.”

“To answer your tweet, choose smart over spark. Sparks burn everyone, be smart! Its simple actually, just think of the shoe being on the other foot.”

“Stay blessed and lets work this thing out with respect and dignity.”

Elton John adoption request denied

 Angelina Jolie can adopt a hundred orphan kids, but singer Elton John cannot. 

According to the Associated Press, Ukraine’s minister denied Elton and his male partner’s bid to adopt 1-year-old Ukrainian child. 

The reason? Elton is too old, and he is not in a traditional marriage with his male partner David Furnish.

The child they wanted to adopt is infected with the HIV AIDS virus living in a hospital.  

Although Elton and his partner married during a civil union ceremony in the United Kingdom, the Ukraine doesn’t recognize homosexual unions, so Elton’s request denied. 

Sadly, that poor HIV-infected boy will have to continue living in an orphanage because the decision-maker doesn’t want him living with two men. 

At least with Elton, the boy would be living in a big mansion instead of an orphanage.

 tila-tequilashawne-merriman

The San Diego district attorney will not seek charges against NFL player Shawne Merriman.  The DA said the case is closed due to insufficient evidence. 

Merriman was arrested Sept. 6 after MTV reality star Tila Tequila accused him of choking and physically restraining her.

Merriman released a statement saying he was concerned about Tila Tequila’s safety because she was drunk, and he tried to prevent her from driving home drunk.  He also said paramedics didn’t find any injuries on Tila.  He denies any assault ever took place.

Despite the case being dropped, Tila said she will pursue a civil lawsuit. 

 Tila is a model, singer and reality television personality. 

Her show “A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila” aired on MTV in 2007 and 2008.  Merriman is a linebacker for the San Diego Chargers.

 


Christina Milian is pregnant

Christina Milian

I think we now know the reason why singer/actress Christina Milian and music producer Terrius ‘The Dream” Nash eloped in Las Vegas earlier this month. 

Christina is pregnant with The Dream’s baby, according to US Weekly magazine.   The couple confirmed their engagement two months ago, and they secretly wed in Sin City on Sept. 4. 

It’s probably because Christina wanted to marry and fit into that wedding dress before the pregnancy started to effect her slim figure.  Congratulations to the happy couple.

Christina recently appeared in “Ghosts of Girlfriends Past” and “Bring It On” Fight to the Finish.”

The Dream recently completed songs for Mariah Carey’s upcoming CD “Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel,” which will be in stores Sept. 29.

Chris Brown and Rihanna: A history of violence

chris-brown-and-rihanna

R&B singers Chris Brown and Rihanna’s fight during the infamous incident that occurred Feb. 8 was apparently nothing new to them.

The former celebrity power couple had a history of violence in their relationship.

Last December, Rihanna reportedly slapped Brown in Europe, and Brown shoved her into a wall, according to Brown’s probation report. 

Another incident occurred in January, where the couple began arguing in a vehicle, when Brown became angry and broke out the windows. 

The public only knows about these three incidents, but I’m sure there were more violent episodes during their relationship.

Click here to the read the police report from the Feb. 8 incident.


Chris Brown and Rihanna police report released

Authorities released the police report regarding the incident where R&B singer Chris Brown beat up his then-girlfriend R&B singer Rihanna.

The police report is posted below, but beware, it contains graphic descriptions of what occurred during the fight. 

The reason I decided to post the police report is to make everyone aware that domestic violence is an issue that needs to be discussed instead of sweeping it under the rug. 

It affects people from all socioeconomic statuses, including celebrities.  In the police report Rihanna is referred to as Robyn F. because that’s here real name. 

Read the report below.

“Chris Brown and Robyn F (aka Rihanna) have been involved in a dating relations for approx 1 and half year. On Sunday Feb 8 at 25 hours Brown was driving a vehicle with Robyn F as the front passenger on an unknown street in Los Angeles. Robyn F picked brown,s cellular phone and picked up a three-page text message from a woman Brown had had a previous relationship with.

“A verbal argument ensued and Brown pulled a vehicle over in an unknown street. Reach over Robyn F with his right hand and open the car door and attempted to force her out. Brown was unable to force Robyn F out of the vehicle because she was wearing a seat belt. When he could not force her to exit he took his right hand and shoved her head against the passenger window of the vehcile causing an approx 1 inch raised circular contusion.

rihanna1“Robyn F turned to face Brown and punched her in the left eye with right hand. He then drove away in the vehicle and continued to punch her in the face with his right hand while steering the vehicle with his left hand. The assault caused Robyn F Osmouth to fill with blood and blood to splatter all over her clothing and the interior of the vehicle. Brown looked at Robyn F and stated “I am going to beat the s–t out of you when we get home! You wait and see!?

“Robyn F picked her cellular phone and called her personal assistant Jennifer Rosales. Rosales did not answer the telephone but while her vm greeting was playing Robyn F pretended to talk to her and stated “I am on my way home. Make sure the cops are there when I get there? (this statement was made while greeting was playing and was not captured) after Robyn f faked the call, Brown and looked at her and stated, ‘You just did the stupidest thing ever! Now I really am going to kill you.’

“Brown resumed punching Robyn F and she interlocked her fingers behind her head and brought her elbows forward to protect her face. She then bent over at the waist placing her elbows and face near her lap and in attempt to protect her face and head from the barrage of punches being levied by Brown.

Brown continued to punch Robyn F on her left arm and hands, causing her to suffer a contusion on her left triceps that was approx 2 inches in diameter and numerous contusions on her left hand. Robyn f attempted to send another text message to other personal assistant Melissa Ford.

Brown snatched the cellular telephone out of her hand and threw it out of the window to an unknown street. Brown continued driving and Robyn F observed his cellular phone in his lap. She picked up the cellular phone with her left hand, and before she could make a call, he placed her in a head lock with right hand and continued to drive the vehicle with his left hand.

rihanna-1“Brown held Robyn F close to him and bit her on her left hear. She was able to feel the vehicle swerving from right to left as Brown sped away. He stopped the vehicle in front of [address] and Robyn F turned off the car removed the key from inignition and sat on it.

Brown did not know what she did with the key and began punching her in the face and arms. Brown began applying pressure to Robyn F left and right carotid arteries causing her to be unable to breath. She began to lose consciousness.

She reached up with her left hand and began to attempting to gauge his eyes in attempt to flee herself. Brown bit her left ring and middle fingers and released her. While brown continued to punch her she turned around a place her back to against the passenger door. She brought her knees to her chest and placed her feet against Brown,s body and began pushing him away.

“Brown continued to punch her on legs and feet causing several contusions. Robyn F began screaming for help. And Brown exited the vehicle and walked away. A resident in the neighbor heard Robyn F,s plea for help and called 911, causing a police response. An investigation was conducted and Robyn F was issued a domestic violence protective order (EPO).

Affiant conducted an interview with Melissa Ford who advised on Feb. 8 2009 at 2500 hours she received a phone call from Robyn F from an unknown telephone number later identified as the telephone number of Officer Chavez. Robyn F had advised Ford that she had been assaulted by Brown. At approx at 1 am Brown called Ford as nothing happened.

Ford advised Brown that she had already talked to Robyn F and was aware of what happened. Ford had advised brown that the neighbors had called police and that they were with Robyn F. Brown had asked Ford if Robyn F had provided police with his name. And Ford advised him that she had. Brown hung up the telephone and did not call back.

“On Feb. 8, Brown turned himself in and was given a copy of the EPO and advised to not contact Robyn. On Feb. 17 Ford advised the affiant that she had received text messages from … a number that Ford recognized as belonging to Brown. In the text message Brown apologized for what he had done to Robyn F. and advised Ford he was going to get help.”


Actress pregnant with Lil Wayne’s baby

lil-wayne3 lauren-london

It’s been long rumored that actress Lauren London is pregnant with rapper Lil Wayne’s baby, but it was brushed aside as gossip.

However, Lil Wayne admitted Tuesday the rumors are true.  During a radio interview with Power 106 in Los Angeles, Lil Wayne said Lauren is the mother of his unborn child.

This will be Lil Wayne’s third child and Lauren London’s first.  London appeared in various films and television shows including “I Love You, Beth Cooper,” “This Christmas,” “90210″ and “Next Day Air.”

Lauren is a newcomer to the entertainment industry, and some consider her one of the most beautiful new actresses in Hollywood.  It makes me wonder how Lil Wayne can attract someone as beautiful as Lauren.

Nas ordered to pay $44,000 in child support

nas-and-kelis

Having a newborn baby has become expensive for rapper Nas. 

A judge ordered Nas to pay $44,000 a month in child support to R&B singer Kelis. 

Kelis gave birth July 22 to the ex-couple’s son named Knight Jones.  Kelis filed for divorce in April (three months before the baby was born).

Kelis will  get $44,000 a month for the child which is about $1,466 per day.  That is one expensive baby. 

What could that baby need that’s going to cost $1,466 per day? Bottles and diapers don’t cost that much.

Maybe I’m just jealous because I didn’t get $1,466 per day when my parents divorced.
