Etta James disses Beyonce
It appears singer Etta James is no fan of Beyonce’s. In fact, she said she can’t stand her.
Here’s the backstory. Beyonce portrayed Etta James in the film “Cadillac Records” and she remade Etta’s classic song “At Last” for the movie and the soundtrack.
Beyonce has been singing “At Last” everywhere since the film was released.
When she performed that song during Barack Obama’s inaugural ball, it rubbed Etta the wrong way.
During a recent concert, she slammed Beyonce for performing her song. She even threatened to whip her rear end.
She said “That women he had singing for him, singing my song, she gon get her (explicative) whipped. I can’t stand Beyonce. She had no business up there singing my song that I been singing forever.”
It sounds like Etta might be a little jealous because she wasn’t invited to sing during any of the inaugural festivities.

Hilary Duff criticizes Faye Dunaway’s looks
Popular singer/actress Hilary Duff isn’t afraid of legendary actress Faye Dunaway.
The two had some unkind comments to say about one another.
It all started when Dunaway did an interview with Chicago Sun-Times Newspaper last week. Dunaway was asked to comment on what she thinks about Duff starring in the remake of the upcoming film “Bonnie and Clyde.”
Dunaway starred in the original “Bonnie and Clyde” film back in 1967. She told the newspaper, “Couldn’t they at least cast a real actress?” She was suggesting that Duff wasn’t a real actress.
She might have a point there. Just because you played Lizzie McGuire, doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a real actress.
Duff was later asked by E! News to respond to Dunaway’s negative comments, and Duff took it a step further and criticized her looks.
Watch the clip below to hear what she said.

Kelly Rowland fires Beyonce’s dad as her manager
Former Destiny’s Child singer Kelly Rowland and her manager Matthew Knowles are splitting up.
Rowland announced Jan. 28 that Knowles is no longer her business manager. Knowles is the father of singer/actress Beyonce.
Rowland’s new manager hasn’t been announced, and no reason was given for her split with Knowles, but it’s not hard to figure out.
Knowles also serves as Beyonce’s manager, and he probably focuses more on promoting Beyonce’s career than he does with Rowland’s career.
He’s done a great job with Beyonce’s career because he helped make Beyonce a legendary superstar while Rowland is still stuck in the dust.
Who can blame him? After all, Beyonce is his daughter so it’s natural that he would give her preferential treatment.
Knowles managed Destiny’s Child from the beginning, but Rowland is not the first member to fire Knowles as a manager.
In 1999, two Destiny’s Child members LeToya Luckett and Latavia Roberson tried to fire Knowles as the group’s manager because they claimed he showed favoritism toward Beyonce. They were later kicked out of the group.
The two were replaced with Michelle Williams and Farrah Franklin. However, Franklin grew tired of Knowles and left the group a short time later.
Williams is still with Knowles, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she ends up leaving him too.

Guy Ritchie’s father talks trash about Madonna
Guy Ritchie’s father is no fan of his former daughter-in-law Madonna.
In an interview with In Touch Weekly magazine John Ritchie said “The worst thing would be if they reconciled.
“Guy is better off. He’s in the States with the children at the moment. She’s been here with a chap, a friend of hers. We hope she does have a lot of boyfriends because it means she won’t ever get back together with Guy.”
“All they discuss is the children. Guy is generally quite happy with the arrangements, provided the children come to London when he wants them to. If she makes that difficult, he will have to rethink how they are managing custody, but so far she hasn’t.
Although Madonna has bounced back and found another boyfriend–Alex Rodriguez, the father said “Guy doesn’t care at all, ”At least she won’t be looking for him.”
Ouch. Madonna gets verbally slammed by an old man. I hope Madonna’s father responds and says negative comments about Guy Ritchie. The would make it even jucier.

The mother of Notorious B.I.G. responds to Lil Kim’s comments
Lil Kim is angry about how she is portrayed in the upcoming biography film “Notorious” which tells the life of the late rapper Notorious B.I.G. (whose real name is Christopher Wallace.
In a previous blog, I printed the negative comments that Lil Kim made about Notorious B.I.G.’s mother Voletta Wallace. Click here to read the comments.
Now, Wallace is responding to Kim’s comments. According to the Associated Press she said, “This is not a Lil Kim movie. This is a Christopher Wallace movie. It has nothing to do with Lil Kim. If she’s disappointed and upset, that is her problem.”
Wow. Strong words coming from Miss Wallace. I haven’t seen the movie yet, so I can’t comment on how Lil Kim was portrayed in the film.
Since Lil Kim was the mistress, my guess is she probably really was portrayed badly. But how else is a mistress supposed to be portrayed?
The “Notorious” movie will be in theaters Jan. 16.

Lil Kim bashes Faith Evans and Notorious B.I.G’s mother
Rapper Lil Kim is furious with singer Faith Evans and Notorious B.I.G’s mother Voletta Wallace over the way she was portrayed in the upcoming film “Notorious.”
Here’s the brief back story… Faith Evans and Notorious B.I.G. were married until he was murdered in 1997. During their marriage, he had a high profile affair with Lil Kim. Therefore, there was always a feud between Kim and Faith.
In an interview with Hip Hop Weekly magazine, Lil Kim is talking trash about Faith and Voletta. An excerpt from the interview which was posted on Media Take Out Web site is below.
Interviewer: What are some of the discrepancies with the movie?
Lil Kim: There were so many. They were disrespecting me terrible in that script but the one that sticks out to me was in a scene allegedly when Ms. Wallace came to see one of Biggie’s shows for the first time and I was supposed to be so mad at him about something that I pulled my panties off on stage and mooned the crowd with my (explicative)… What the (explicative)?? Come on, don’t you think that would’ve been in the history archives? They’re using Lil Kim to sensationalize their bulls— lying’-a– story. That was the last version of the script I saw, which somebody had snuck to me, ’cause people didn’t want me to see it.
Interviewer: Have you spoken with Faith and Ms. Wallace?
Lil Kim: : No. Honestly, I don’t have no words for them. But, one thing I will say is, I’ve had enough and I’m about to expose them both. That’s it. I’ve been quiet for a long time. You don’t hear me talking about none of them, and to be honest with you I’m really disappointed in Faith. I remember a few years ago she did a magazine interview where she talked about having a lot of respect and love for me. She said, “Kim was Biggie’s girlfriend and I was Biggie’s wife,” and how that was hard for her to deal with. Then later on she writes a book and in it she tried to change it and say some stupid s— about how I was his jump off. I laugh at her because I remember years ago being in the studio with my then boyfriend at the time, Scott Storch.
We’re in the studio, Faith was in another room and she called Scott’s phone and said “Oh Kim’s with you? Tell her I said hi and that I got love for her and hope that her and I can talk soon and be friends.” I was like “wow!” I thought that was really big, considering that I’m a woman who her husband was in love with. I felt like that was real big.
Me and Scott even thought of doing a record with her, thinking about how big it would’ve been for hip hop and for the Biggie family. She even sent her daughter China, who I love and took care of sometimes down to me, and China was like, “I love you Kim and my mom told me to tell you she loves you and hi.” But, here we go years later, I guess the funds must be low; because somebody told Faith, “you gotta write a book and you gotta come at Kim in the book.” It shocked me, ’cause I thought we had come to some kind of unity. I thought it was really tasteless. She could never play poker because she already exposed her hand. Faith, you know me, I’m an extremist I go hard. Once I start I don’t stop. Why would you wake up this sleeping giant?
Interviewer: And, what about Ms. Wallace?
Lil Kim: : There’s nothing Faith or Ms. Wallace could do to stop me from reppin’ B.I.G. all day. I’m gonna always do that. They want to talk about people exploiting Biggie, to me this is the worst way you could exploit his name; by disrespecting people who was around him who he had major love for. The truth is gonna be known. Like how a while back Ms. Wallace was on the radio talking about how we never mourned together and that she never knew me.
It’s crazy ’cause she and I lived together in Biggie’s house for almost eight months after Biggie died. On top of all that, out of the kindness of my heart and the love I had for Biggie, I share five percent of my publishing with Ms. Wallace; just out of love, making sure that if I ate, she and the kids ate. And at the end of the day, this is how she repays me? It’s time for Ms. Wallace to be exposed.
END OF INTERVIEW.
I think it’s pretty low for Lil Kim to verbally attacking Ms Wallace in this interview. She did lose her only son to a senseless act of murder. Also, there’s no reason for her to be mad at Faith Evans either because Kim shouldn’t have been messing around with a married man in the first place.
The movie trailer for the “Notorious” biography is posted below. The movie will be in theaters Jan. 16. The film stars Jamal Woolard as Notorious B.I.G., Antonique Smith as Faith Evans, Naturi Naughton as Lil Kim, Angela Bassett as Voletta Wallace and Derek Luke as P. Diddy.

Notorious- Trailer – A funny movie is a click away
Courtney Love accuses Kim Kardashian’s brother of gay bashing
In an unlikely feud, singer Courtney Love is going at it on the blogosphere with the Kardashians.
It all started on Christmas Eve when Courtney made allegations against Robert Kardashian Jr. on her MySpace blog.
Courtney wrote, “Hi kids, if you are expecting Santa to read you a bedtime story on this new blog, think again! What i am about to direct is something many of you can relate to, and hopefully are disgusted by .. which is the icky trend of straight heterosexual males who commit hate crimes that are secretly in the closet, yes, Rob Kardashian.”
“Well Rob jr cold socked and punched my employee right in his face for no reason and broke his nose after my GUY was hanging out with his pal Brody Jenner one night outside Hyde lounge … then right after yelling {gay obsenities} Rob JR punched my guys in the face.”
“My guy has 3 witnesses who saw Rob jump out of the SUV and because of the fact that he works for me, a woman of power, you broke his nose and caused blood to shed.”
Robert’s sister socialite Kim Kardashian later replied to the allegations that Courtney was making about her little brother.
Kim wrote on very own Web site blog, “Courtney Love wrote a disturbing blog this morning that is obviously very untrue.”
“Ms. Love immaturely called my brother Rob names and accused him of physically assaulting her “employee” at Hyde nightclub, breaking his nose. This is TOTALLY FALSE!”
“We are so saddened to hear that someone is blogging this insanity on Christmas Eve. ”
“Everything this person writes is obviously untrue and we will forward this terrible nonsense to our attorneys.”
Aww. Two talentless people going toe to toe with each other. First let me say, I don’t believe a word that Courtney Love says. Her brain is fried with all of the drugs that she has used throughout her life.
Besides, I’ve seen Rob Jr. while I watched a few episodes of the reality show “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” and I know that Rob Jr. wouldn’t even hurt a fly.
Kim said she’s going to forward Courtney’s words to her attorney’s, but I seriously doubt if she will follow up with a lawsuit. Courtney is not worth the hassle of fighting this out in court.

Jamie Foxx talks trash about Terrence Howard
It seems Jamie Foxx is no fan of actor Terrence Howard. On his radio talk show, Jamie starts making fun of Terrence’s acting skills.
Jamie accused Terrence of talking bad about his music during a CNN interview. So, Jamie responded by saying a few unkind things about Terrence, and it’s very humorous.
The clip is below.

Whitney Houston sued by her stepmother
Pop singer Whitney Houston is being sued by a family member–her stepmother.
Barbara Houston is claiming that Whitney improperly kept the $1 million from her late father’s life insurance policy.
The stepmother said Whitney was supposed to use that $1 million and pay off the mortgage on her dad’s home then return the remaining money to her.
The stepmother is still living in the home. Although this lawsuit will drag out in court for several months or years, I think the judge should dismiss the suit.
Obviously, if Whitney’s father wanted his wife to have the insurance policy money, then he would have put his wife’s name as the beneficiary instead of Whitney.

Charm School contestant says Sharon Osbourne assaulted her
It seems Sharon Osbourne might have been involved in a physical fight with one of the contestants on VH1′s Rock of Love Charm School.
According to TMZ, a contestant Megan Hauserman told police that she got into it with Osbourne during the taping of the reunion show.
Hauserman said Sharon said something inappropriate to her during the show, so Hauserman responded by saying the only reason Sharon is famous is because she manages her brain dead rock star husband Ozzy Osbourne.
Sharon was offended by that comment so, according Hauserman, Sharon grabbed her hair and kept pulling it and scratching her.
Hauserman was taken to the hospital, and she filed a report against Sharon.
Wow. Who knew Sharon “old as dirt” Osbourne could stand her ground in a fight with Hauserman, who is probably 40 years younger.
Let this be a lesson to anyone who comes in contact with Sharon–don’t EVER insult Ozzy.

Beyonce talks trash about the Jackson’s parents
It sounds like Beyonce is throwing dirt at Janet and Michael Jackson’s parents (Joe and Katherine Jackson).
In an interview with OK Magazine, Beyonce said it bothers her when people compare her family to the Jackson family.
“I grew up upper class. Private school, My dad had a Jaguar. We’re African-American, and we work together as a family, so people assume we’re like the Jacksons. But I didn’t have parents using me to get out of a bad situation.”
First of all, who cares if she grew up in the upper class neighborhoods, and her daddy drove an expensive Jaguar.
She should stop trying to rub that in our faces. Not all of us were fortunate enough to grow up with wealthy things.
Second, her dad Matthew Knowles is EXACTLY like Joe Jackson. Beyonce’s father also serves as her manager.
When Destiny’s Child still existed, he kicked two of the girls out of the group, and he always made sure Beyonce shined above her group mates.
Matthew also became a multi-millionare because of Beyonce’s career. So yes, Beyonce your father was using you too.

Paula Abdul says American Idol producers and Simon Cowell tried to ruin her career
In an interview with Barbara Walters’ XM radio show, American Idol judge Paula Abdul reveals how furious she is with the Idol producers.
Remember when Paula’s stalker committed suicide outside of Paula’s home last month? The stalker (Paula Goodspeed) auditioned for American Idol awhile back.
Paula said she warned producers not to let her on the show, but they did it anyway.
Paula said, “I said this girl is a stalker of mine and please do not let her in. She had been writing disturbing letters for 17 years, almost 18 years. We had restraining orders at times. It’s fun for them to cause me stress. This was something that would make good television.”
Paula also said the stalker sent her naked pictures of herself and said “the only way I will serve her purpose is when I’m up in heaven being her guardian angel.”
But Paula wasn’t done yet. She still had more to tell Barbara Walters.
She said, “This was an attempt by Fox Broadcasting, the producers of American Idol and Simon Cowell to ruin my career.”
She’s still wasn’t done yet. Remember how Paula always appears spaced out and crazy on the show?
Paula said, “Part of it is what people don’t realize is that Simon is in my ear while I’m talking. He says crazy things while I’m trying to formulate something with grace and dignity. He’s saying it over and over again and I start to laugh, and Ryan’s says what are you laughing at?” and it makes her look nutty.
She went on to say, “I put up with so much BS, that I’ve had to crawl on my belly and rise like a phoenix. I don’t have to dignify and stoop so low to that of what Simon say. Believe me I’ve lost a lot of money. I’ve lost endorsements, and all Simon had to do was retract what he said, but he didn’t.”
It sounds to me like the producers are slowing trying to push Paula out of the American Idol door. She is still under contract, but I don’t think she will return when her contracts expires.
Maybe that’s the reason why producers have brought in another female judge to be part of the American Idol judging panel during the upcoming season.
Kara DioGuardi will be the new judge sitting next to Paula when the new season airs next month. There will be a total of four judges now. But if Paula leaves the show, then Kara will be the lone female judge, and that’s probably how the producers would want it.
Kara is an attractive woman, but I don’t think she can hold a candle to Paula Abdul’s dynamic on the show. If Paula leaves the show, I don’t think the viewers will accept Kara because Paula is irreplaceable.
Yes, Paula might act a little crazy from time to time, but that’s what makes the show interesting.

Oprah Winfrey says Sarah Palin won’t talk to her
Oprah Winfrey is going around telling people that Sarah Palin doesn’t want to talk to her.
In an interview with Extra, Oprah explains, “I said I would be happy to talk to Sarah Palin when the election was over. I went and tried to talk to Sarah Palin and instead she talked to Greta Van Susteren. She talked to Matt Lauer. She talked to Larry King, but she didn’t talk to me. Maybe she’ll talk to me now that she has a book deal.”
Just because Oprah is a billionaire, and just because she has the number one talk show in the country, that doesn’t mean that everyone wants to appear on her show.
it sounds to me like Oprah gets offended whenever someone doesn’t come on her show. A little arrogance perhaps?
Sarah Palin is probably avoiding Oprah because Oprah was avoiding Sarah during the presidential campaign. Oprah wouldn’t let Sarah appear on her show while she was running for the vice president spot.
Also, Oprah was actively campaigning and supporting Barack Obama and Joe Biden for president. So why would Palin want to be interviewed by a woman who is a staunch Obama supporter?
Don’t worry Oprah. You’re not alone. Sarah Palin won’t do an interview with me either.

Brandy criticizes Beyonce and Rihanna’s style
It sounds like singer/actress Brandy Norwood is hatin’ on Beyonce and Rihanna’s style.
In an interview with US Weekly, Brandy was quoted as saying, “I love Rihanna’s style, and I’ve always loved Beyonce’s style, but my style is classy and simple and fashion forward.”
In other words, its sounds like she was suggesting that Beyonce and Rihanna are not classy.
Maybe Brandy just mispoke, or maybe she didn’t mean it to come across the way that it did. Either way, Brandy needs to start choosing her words wisely.
When it comes to Brandy, Beyonce and Rihanna, I would have to say Beyonce possesses the most class out of that group.

Guns and Roses rocker Axl Rose vs Dr. Depper
Guns N Roses rocker Axl Rose is very angry with one of my favorite soft drinks–Dr. Pepper, and he’s got every right to be angry too.
According to the Associated Press, he is accusing the company of making money off of the band’s name. Axl is referring to when Dr. Pepper offered to give everyone in America a free soda if the band releases their new album this year.
Of course when they did release their album, nobody got any free Dr. Pepper. However, the soda Web site was flooded with Web site hits from fans wanting to know more about the offer.
Now, Axl Rose is demanding a apology from the beverage company. His lawyer is demanding that the company issue a full-page apology in the New York Times, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal and the LA Times.
An apology? Is that all Axl wants is an apology? That’s copyright infringement. He should be asking for a share of the profits.
If he was smart, he would take this court and make the soda company compensate him.

Rosie O’Donnell vs. Barbara Walters
Rosie O’Donnell and Barbara Walters are going at it once again.
It all started during a conference call last week where Rosie told reporters that everyone didn’t get along on “The View.” Rosie said Barbara “wanted everyone to believe and think and act as if the women get along and are really good friends and happy and hang out together, and, you know, that’s just not the reality. I’m not saying they loathe each other, but the fact of the matter is, there was not a lot of camaraderie off camera.”
When Barbara heard this she issued a statement during an episode of “The View.” On Nov. 21, Barbara told the audience, “There are some people who have done this show and then for years feel they have to dump on it, maybe for their own publicity. That not only hurts me, but i resent it. But if the shoe fits lady get on with your lives.”
Rosie then responded Nov. 24 on the “Today Show.” Rosie said, “To her, (Barbara) I’m the rowdy teenage daughter she can’t control. It hurts me that I hurt her.”
This is the feud that keeps on giving. When Rosie made her comments, Barbara Walters should have just kept quiet about it, and maybe it would have all went away. However, I must admit that it is quite humorous.
My all time favorite Rosie moment was when she and Elisabeth Hasselbeck got into a confrontation on “The View” last year.

Jennifer Aniston opens up about Angelina Jolie
Jennifer Aniston finally talks about the woman who stole her husband. In the December issue of Vogue magazine, she discusses what she thinks about Angeline Jolie.
Jennifer was upset by the fact that Angelina was publicly talking about how Angelina and Brad fell in love on the set of their movie “Mr. and Mrs. Smith.”
Keep in mind, Jennifer and Brad were still married during that time. So, basically Angelina revealed that her and Brad were in love while he was still married to Jennifer. Jennifer was unaware of their attraction to each other at that time.
According to Vogue magazine, Jennifer told the reporter, “There was stuff printed there that was definitely from a time when I was unaware that it was happening. I felt those details were a little inappropriate to discuss. That stuff about how she couldn’t wait to get to work every day? That was really uncool.”
It’s about time Jennifer started to get a little backbone and start sticking up for herself.
Angelina stole Brad from her a long time ago, and Jennifer is just now talking about it and trying to call Angelina out on her behavior. She should have did this a long time ago.

Carrie Underwood doesn’t respect celebrities who publicly support a politician
Carrie Underwood doesn’t have any respect for Oprah Winfrey, Tom Hanks, Jay-Z, P. Diddy, Jamie Foxx, Scarlett Johansson and numerous other celebrities.
In an interview with TV Guide, she said when it comes to celebrity presidential endorsements, “I lose all respect for celebrities when they back a candidate.”
Although Carrie didn’t single out those people above, the people that I mentioned are a list of celebrities who are outspoken about their support and endorsement for a presidential candidate.
Since Carrie said she loses respect for people who publicly support a candidate, they basically means she has no respect for those people above.
Carrie also went on to say, “It’s saying that the American public isn’t smart enough to make their own decisions. I would never want anybody to vote for anything or anybody just because I told them to.”
It’s understandable if Carrie doesn’t like it when celebrities try to make America vote a certain way.
However, they do have the right to free speech, and I would never lose respect for anyone who exercises their free speech rights.
Carrie has exercised her free speech rights in the past when she announced to the world that she is a vegetarian, and I didn’t lose all respect for her. So, she shouldn’t lose respect for celebrities who voice their opinions.

Celebrity Feud: Ne-Yo versus Yung Berg
Another feud is heating up in the hip hop community.
R&B singer Ne-Yo appeared on a radio show, and he said he wanted slap rapper Yung Berg for making that song named “The Business.”
Ne-Yo claims that Yung Berg copied T-Pain and Lil Wayne’s musical style by doing that song.
When Yung Berg heard those comments, he retaliated by questioning Ne-Yo’s sexuality. He even referred to Ne-Yo as “Miss Independent,” which happens to be the the name of Ne-Yo’s new song.
Ne-Yo recently told MTV that he’s not interested in getting into a feud with Yung Berg or anyone else.
He said, “That ain’t my lane, dude. I don’t beef. I don’t do that. That ain’t my thing. I don’t do dis records. I don’t do beef. I don’t do any of that blogs talking about cats. I don’t do that. That ain’t my thing. I’m a grown man. I got money to make.”
I think it’s funny how Ne-Yo all of sudden says he doesn’t dis anybody, when in fact, he’s the one who started the feud in the first place with his negative comments about Yung Berg.

Aretha Franklin is feuding with Tina Turner
Two legendary divas, Aretha Franklin and Tina Turner, are feuding with each other.
Here’s the background info…. It all started back in February during the Grammy’s. Tina Turner performed during the show, and when Beyonce was introducing Tina, she referred to Tina as “the queen.”
Everyone knows that Aretha Franklin is known as “the queen of soul,” so Aretha was upset with Beyonce for calling Tina “the queen.”
After the Grammy’s telecast, Aretha released a statement saying, “I am not sure of whose toes I may have stepped on or whose ego I may have bruised between the Grammy writers and Beyonce, however I dismissed it as a cheap shot for controversy. In addition to that, I thank the Grammys and the voting academy for my 20th Grammy and love to Beyonce anyway.”
Beyonce’s father and manager Matthew Knowles responded to Aretha’s comments by saying, “As a manager I am not taking something this ridiculous to Beyonce. Beyonce referred to Tina Turner as a queen. Not queen of gospel, queen of soul, queen of blues, Queen of England. I consider my wife a queen and sometimes call her that. Does Aretha have a problem with that?”
In an interview with USA Today newspaper this week, Tina Turner finally commented on the situation.
Tina said Aretha is “the queen of soul, and I’m the queen of rock and roll. There were so many kings and queens there that night. Her ego must be so big to think she was the only one. That’s how queens are!”
When Aretha heard this statement, she released a statement of her own to USA Today this week.
Aretha said Tina was “clearly was talking about herself. I never figured her to resort to tacky press just to sell a few tickets. I really had put her in a different class — higher than that. No one has been more gracious … to their peers than I have, and I am confident and secure enough to do so, unlike some others.”
Here’s my take on the situation. Aretha is acting like a spoiled brat. Yes, Aretha we know you are the Queen of Soul. But that doesn’t mean that you have copyright ownership of the word “Queen.”
If Beyonce wants to call Tina Turner the queen, that’s fine. Get over it. There are more important things in life to worry about.

New York said Jennifer Hudson’s relationship won’t last
Tiffay Pollard, better known as New York from the reality shows “I Love New York” and “Flavor of Love” has been talking trash about Jennifer Hudson’s relationship with her
finance.
In an interview with the latest issue of In Touch Weekly magazine, New York suggested that Hudson and David Otunga’s relationship won’t last.
David was a contestant on New York’s dating reality show “I Love New Show” and his nickname on the show was “Punk.” New York ended up eliminating “Punk” from the show, and “Punk” later fell in love with singer/actress Jennifer Hudson, and they became engaged.
In the interview, New York said, “He’s really loving being Mr. Jennifer Hudson. I think he’s loving the lavish things she brings to his life. He’s seeing the world due to Jennifer’s success. “But can you love this person if they lose all of this tomorrow? She needs to find out. I just hope people are marrying each other for the right reasons.”
New York also said, “It’s a mixed match, it won’t work. He’ll be in her shadow like Al Reynolds was to Star Jones, like Stedman Graham is to Oprah.”
Ouch!! New York is too harsh. I think she’s a little jealous of the fact that she rejected “Punk,” and he rebounded and is now engaged to a woman who is more successful and more famous than she is.
I just have two words for New York…. Stop Hatin’

Sharon Stone loses custody of her son
Actress Sharon Stone no longer has physical custody of her 8-year-old son.
A judge ruled that her son will remain in San Francisco with her ex-husband Phil Bronstein unless Sharon agrees to move to San Francisco too.
Basically, if she doesn’t move there, so won’t her physical custody rights returned to her. The judge said the ex-husband can provide a more stable and secure environment for the little boy.
This is a shocker because usually a judge gives the mother custody unless the mother is unfit. However, the judge never said that she was an unfit mother.
The couple divorced in 2004.

Janet Jackson leaves record label
It’s the end of the road for Janet Jackson’s union with her record label.
It was announced today that Janet (Miss Jackson if ya nasty) has parted ways with Def Jam records.
During the past few months, Janet has accused her record label of not properly promoting her latest album “Discipline” along with her current tour.
Now that Janet is a free agent, hopefully another record company will come along and help her create a hit album.
Let’s be honest, janet hasn’t had a hit album in more than 10 years. It’s time for her to regain her crown.

R. Kelly ordered to pay Ne-Yo $700,320
R&B singer R. Kelly has been ordered by a court to pay singer Ne-Yo $700,320.
Ne-Yo filed a lawsuit against R. Kelly after he dropped Ne-Yo as the opening act on his tour.
Ne-Yo claimed that R. Kelly dismissed him from the tour because Ne-Yo received better praise from the critics and the fans.
Yes, R. Kelly got away with having sexual relations on videotape with an underage girl, but he sure didn’t get away with trying to get over on Ne-Yo.

Elton John and Lily Allen feud
I think it’s safe to say that Lily Allen and Elton John don’t like each other.
The two celebrities hosted the GQ Men of the Year awards show. Lily appeared to have been a little drunk during the show and Elton commented by saying, “What, you are going to have another drink?”
Lily didn’t appreciate that comment, so she replied, ”F*** off Elton. I’m 40 years younger than you. I have my whole life ahead of me.”
Elton then said, “I could still snort you under the table.”
Wow. I hate to choose sides, but I’m going to go with Elton on this one. Most people don’t even know who Lily Allen is. She probably shouldn’t be picking fights with a legend like Elton John.
