Let The Rumors Fly: Usher Not The Father of 2nd Child?

As the world turns... I swear that's what this feels like. A new twist in the Usher and Tameka divorce sith. Seems Usher wants to test the paternity of his youngest son Naviyd. Ok... so I know he's not that damn dumb to let it go on this long if he's had doubts... but... that could have very well been the straw that broke the camels back for Ush. This mess is running neck and neck with Nas and Kelis' ridiculously messy divorce.

According to Enquirer (if you believe anything they write), Usher is hoping to tip the divorce scales in his favor by questioning the paternity of his 6 month old son Naviyd:

“The first thing Usher said was, ‘How did that happen?’ — because he was gone a lot, and their sex life was very, very limited,” a friend of the star reveals. “He’s determined to get truthful answers.” When Naviyd was born last December, Usher and Tameka, 38, were already separated. The “Confessions” star became concerned that Tameka had been unfaithful to him after friends confessed that the former celebrity stylist had “got with another man” in the early stages of her rough patch with Usher. It is a claim Tameka vehemently denies. In fact, the soon-to-be two-time divorcee insists her younger hubby is the father of her infant son and she’s ready to take the star to the cleaners for even suggesting otherwise. “She says that although they weren’t spending that much time together, they did get together for one night of passion. And that’s when she got pregnant,” the snitch whispers, adding that Tameka is “going to fight for what she thinks she should have.”

Tameka also claims in a recent court filing that despite what the reports have been saying, she and Usher have not been separated since July 2008 as Usher claims, in fact, they were “intimately together” less than a week before he started divorce proceedings, which is where the whole SURPRISE factor comes into play!

Supposedly, there is at least $80 mil at stake here and you best believe that Tameka wants 'haf... I want haf Eddie'... some of you are too young to get that!

Curtis Conway's Ex Wants Mo Money Mo Money Mo Money!!!

Curtis Conway, the husband of boxer Laila Ali, has found himself being dragged into the courtroom. Seems Curtis' ex-wife Leoria wants more child support. Curtis and Leoria have three children together: Cameron and Kelton (12 y/o twins), and Leilani, 8 (pictured above). The dreaded ex is wanting more child support because she believes that because of who he's married to, Curtis is now rollin in the dough.

It's being reported that Laila ain't havin that... and I don't blame her. Ol girl is trying to capitalize off of the Ali family name which ain't right, but... we all know that if this was an ordinary family it would probably go in the favor of the ex- so we shall see. I say they fight this joint on out in the ring... What do you guys think?

Tameka Foster's BFF Says "Tameka Didn't Even Know"

Essence magazine caught up with Tameka Fosters best friend of 20 years Nyeisha DeWitt and lets her clear the air about a few things regarding her friends impending messy divorce. Like any best friend, Nyeisha says that she doesn't like to see Tameka hurting this way and being portrayed in a bad light in the media. She says that despite going through this ordeal, it's only obvious that Tameka still loves Usher. She also tells Essence that this whole divorce thing was a big surprise to Tameka *side eyein bff hella hard on that one*!!! C'mon now... we know when our relationships/marriages are on their last leg. Check out the interview below:

ESSENCE.COM: Many are probably wondering why you're choosing to speak now after Tameka endured a hailstorm of criticism for years.

NYEISHA DEWITT: Let me first say that I hope Tameka and Usher can salvage things as a couple. I've known Tameka since I was in middle school and she was in high school, and we've been friends since. It's not that I have to defend her or speak on her behalf as if she's done something wrong, but I simply want people to know everything they read about her isn't true. It hurts me to read the lies that people write and say about her.

ESSENCE.COM: Is it true she first learned that Usher filed for divorce after reading about it?

DEWITT: She didn't know that he was going to file. Of course, she knew that there were challenges in their relationship and had been some discord since March and was aware there were some things that needed to be worked through. But did she know that divorce was imminent? No. It was a total surprise.

ESSENCE.COM: Was Tameka also caught off guard by the images of Usher and Def Jam's Grace Miguel?

DEWITT: I don't know what it is or isn't. What I admire about Tameka is that, despite all the gossip, she isn't bitter or hardened by it. I don't know how she does it especially with children [from a previous relationship] old enough to read the lies that are written. It's like having to keep your hands at your side while someone repeatedly punches you in your face.

Let The Rumors Fly: Rihanna's Guilt Reason For Chris Brown's Light Penalty?

I just heard a rumor. I really wish I could confirm it but haven't found the right source for the confirmation just yet. I know that after what went down between the two stars, that it wouldn't be necessary for Rihanna or Chris Brown to hide out but did you notice how right after all this happened, they got back together... briefly? Or how she didn't have issues with even being in the same vacinity as Chris? I, for one, wouldn't even attempt to be around, near, or close to anyone who has done something like that to me... but hey... that's me.

Well... supposedly someone that lives in Tappahanock County, VA, which is where Chris is from says that the local police have had to visit the Brown residence on several occasions. Reasons being... apparently there have been previous "domestic" issues at the residence, all of which have involved the ex-couple. The police REPORTEDLY say that Chris Brown has been forced to replace no less than three flatscreen televisions because Rihanna allegedly threw something through each of them. Basically, they suggested strongly, without going all the way in, that Rihanna might have exacerbated other situations that lead up to this one. Maybe Rihanna's feeling guilty some how? Who knows.

Of course a few cell phones or household statues and whatnot through tv's don't warrant an ass whoopin... but... that is his mama's house!!! You don't play around with mama's -ish!!! Ya'll know I'm tellin the truth!

Next Up In Divorcee' Lane... Jon & Kate

Well... another couple is headed downs divorce lane. DAMN!!! I'm wondering... with all these divorce papers flying in the air, do I really want to get married someday??? It really makes you rethink the whole idea of wedded bliss.

The latest couple is TLC's infamous Gosselin's. Jon and Kate Gosselin just filed papers for divorce according to People.com. According to the report, the papers were filed moments ago at the Bucks County Courtroom in Pennsylvania. The two have been married for ten years. They have 8 kids together, duhhhh-- hence the title of that show. There are reports claiming Jon is planning on moving to New York to live. Sources say he is considering moving into Trump Place.

What the hell??? Oh like that Jon? You better hold on to that damn money that TLC paid you and save cuz you're definitely going to need it.

Kelis Is Puttin It Out There: I'm Broke!

Kelis is crying foul foul foul against her estranged hubby Nas. She says that Nas has left her with not one damn dime. Yeah... ok! Go pawn the wedding ring and then you'll have more than I would make in three years. Anyways, she says that he has not offered to pay for one dag on thing since they've broken up. Not even for the baby.

"I have run out of money."

Kelis filed legal papers claiming Nas isn't paying her support, pre-natal expenses or anything else... even though she claims he is filthy rich. Filthy??? Really? Kelis is asking the judge to order Nas to pay spousal support, child support, all pregnancy-related expenses, and one-half of all medical expenses after the child is born. She also wants $3,500 for the baby nurse after the child's birth, and $20,000 for strollers, cribs and other baby supplies.

Kelis says, "My survival is based on Nas' will at this time. If he does not want to pay for an expense, it does not get paid."

The couple got married in 2003. The baby is due at the end of this month. Kelis says she's entitled to maintain the lifestyle to which she became accustomed during their marriage to which entitles her to their five homes, fly first class, go to fancy restaurants, and on and on.

"There were many expensive pieces of jewelry such as a princess-cut diamond tennis bracelet that was recently appraised for $190,000. My engagement ring is an approximately nine-carat cushion-cut diamond solitaire. I have numerous watches...such as Cartier, Rolex, Frank Muller and Chopard."

Her lawyer, disco-queen Laura Wasser, says in a separate declaration she's asked Nas to ante up some mulah for Kelis and the unborn baby but he hasn't responded... and he probably won't.

It's Like That Huh Rihanna and Drake?

I see ya'll gettin a little cozy. Ya'll ain't slick! Rihanna and Drake have been telling everybody that would listen that they're "just friends". Well, the “friends” hit up The Griffin last night and looked like they were trying to hide the fact that they were together at the spot. Drake looked kind of shocked when they got caught. I guess he “likes her too”. I'm assuming that she was just trying to let off some steam since she received a subpoena to testify against her ex Chris Brown in court. She likes the yella boys huh? Drake is soooo not a good look though.

Kelis Says Nas Can Go Down In Flames!

And the drama continues in the Nas/Kelis divorce sitch. This thing is getting uglier and uglier as the days wane on. Before this, Nas was just in court telling the judge that he did not want to pay spousal support to Kelis. Nevermind that she's about to have your damn child! Oh noooooooo! Don't get me started!

Before that, we were hearing reports that Nas was cheating and that he was verbally abusive to Kelis. Well, in her "true to you" fashion, Kelis went on Twitter last night and subliminally put her ex on blast right along with all of the skanks who he romped around with.

"This lovely day I would like to touch on cheaters. ... Why be cowardly, why not go after what you really want? Do people know what they want? Probably not, which just goes into know and respecting one's self. Also we can discuss whores, I mean the nasty, sub-par tricks that participate in the cheating. Well let me say this, both parties are gross. And in reality they deserve each other."

It's being assumed that the reason why the couple is divorcing is because Nasir Jones thought the grass was greener on the other side of the mountain. Kelis also tweets:

All the scumbag coward husbands and the less than impressive sluts unite! You can all go down in flames together! Hooray! Who's disgusted and bitter? LOL, not I said the cat! Wink wink. No seriously I have no patience for any of it, but the problem is women usually blame the women. I am here to say the husband is way more at fault. Now of course the woman/women who partake are stupid and pitiful. And honestly I will say it’s expected from younger girls 23 and under."

Later, she calls for women to step up to the plate.

"But after that I do think as women we need to take more responsibility. Men are driven by something different than we are. And that's generally stupidity. Don't worry, we still love you guys. We just have to be smarter."

The couple are expecting their first child together. Her due date is July 21.

Rihanna & Chris Briwn Working It Out!

So who wants to be the first to say "I TOLD YOU SO"! I doooooooooooooo!!!! I knew they were going to get back together. After spending her birthday weekend without him and having a bit of time to reflect on their situation, Rihanna and Chris Brown have decided to stick it out, and work on their relationship.

The couple is spending the weekend at Diddy's Star Island mansion in Miami Beach. The source for this tidbit of news says, "While Chris is reflective and saddened about what happened, he is really happy to be with the woman he loves," via People, which first reported the apparent reconciliation.

All I can say is that, I'm totally not surprised. They're young, and most young people, regardless of their status think that -ish like this is just a one time thing! Whatev! Of course I feel sorry for Rihanna, or any female that is in a situation such as this. But yet, we still don't know all of the particulars of what happened that night. Again, of course no one deserves to be beat up the way C.B. did Rih Rih, but if they do it once... chances are, they'll do it again. Quite possibly, the next time may not be as bad, but if it happens period it's enough to jolt anyone back to reality. Love ain't that damn bomb!!!

Ne-Yo Speaks On ChriRih Situation

In more of the ChriRih saga, singer/songwriter Ne-Yo says that he has spoken to Rihanna since the alleged incident between the pop singer and ex-boo Chris Brown.

“I spoke to Rihanna,” Ne-Yo told MTV News. “She says she’s fine. She didn’t go into detail about what happened. I understand it’s a painful situation; I didn’t push.” *givin dude the side-eye* yeah ok Ne-Yo... don't call off your engage because of this mess either!!! Ya'll know Ne-Yo wanted him some Rihanna before C.B. moved smoove on in dere'.

Ne-Yo, a friend of both of the stars, said he has seen the photo and was very affected by it. “I saw the picture,” he confirmed. “That just really — that hurt me to my heart, man. Again, I still don’t know what happened, ‘cause I haven’t had the opportunity to talk to Chris yet. But to take it to that level really hurt my heart.”

Ne-Yo claims that he's been trying to get in touch with Chris (right), but to no avail, hasn't had much luck.

“All I can say is, I’m praying for both of them. They’re both in my prayers. I haven’t had a chance to talk to Chris yet. I just wanna sit down and talk to that dude and just explain if he doesn’t understand: ‘That’s not something that’s excusable, bruh. You have to get a little smarter about whatever it is going on in your relationship. You have to get a little smarter about how you handle certain situations,’” Ne-Yo said. Riiiight... just like you were smart about speeding down C.ome O.n B.lack B.oy Parkway going over 100 miles an hour???

Anyways, while the singer is dishing out sound advice for Chris Brown, he also said he still cares about the young man. “I’m not going to crucify him,” the R&B star said. “I’m not going to do that. That’s still my homeboy at the end of the day. For it to go to that level was wrong. I won’t say who was responsible. I won’t pick no sides. I’m just saying it was wrong that it had to happen like that, and I’m praying for the both of them.”

Tiny Clears The Air On "Jump Off" Response

I did a post over the weekend about how some chick on Myspace was supposedly harrassing Tameka "Tiny" Cottle, about being T.I.'s "jump off". The post featured the response that Tiny "supposedly" sent back to the girl, but come to find out, Tiny is saying that wasn't her that sent that response. This is what she had to say about that:

I just want to clear this up. That was not me. That didn’t come from me. I would never say anything like that to anybody. That sh*t is crazy. I don’t have to prove anything to anyone and I’m not going to disrespect my family to do that. For one crazy person. I’m not even a computer person like that for me to be going back and forth fussing with one girl about my relationship. I don’t have to do that. People talk about my relationship every day. That don’t bother me none.

All that about s*ckin d*ck and jump offs. I don’t know nothing about a jump off so clearly that wouldn’t even be cool. I have a 12 year old daughter that be reading that kind’ve stuff so that’s not something that I would do just for someone to write down and say that I said that. I don’t feel like I have to prove anything to anyone about me and my relationship so I just want people to know that I did not say that.

I was reading comments and they were like “Yea girl you tell her”. I’m like the one day people want to defend me and be on my side”, I didn’t even say it.They want to take this sh*t and say, “Oh yea, we like her” *laughs* It’s so stupid but I wouldn’t do anything like that. I just want to clear that up.

I thought that whole responding to some random chick thing was a bit strange for Tiny. I figured she was a bigger person than that, but... when I see news, I must report it, and when something comes out to clear that up, I must report that as well!

Tiny Confronts T.I.'s Jumpoff On Myspace

So now we're beefing over dudes on Myspace huh? Geesh dude!!! We have got to do better ladies. It's not that crucial... especially in these times when a man ain't even tryin to take care of yo ass! Let that -ish go girl and move around!

So I just saw where Tiny, the mother of two of T.I.'s son's just had to give a so called "jump-off" of T.I.'s the business. Not in person, or over the phone; but via Windows Internet Explorer! LMAO!!! *SIGH* Anyways, so what happened is the chick is going on Tiny's myspace page and saying how she's going to steal Tip from Tiny. No game whatsoever! If you wack enough to do this bull-ish on freakin myspace heffa you don't even deserve to even attempt to steal nathan! You're lame! Get yo own damn man!

Anyways, check out what Tiny said when she popped off on ol girl:

No matter how many accounts you open up b*tch just to holla at me, you still will only be a fantasy. You know like a fan-2-see him like in concert. The only thing you can do is suck his dick no matter what I HAVE HIS HEART!!

So like Maino said Don't leave me haters I NEED YOU HATERS. I NEED YOU. I WANT YOU TO KEEP OPENING UP ACCOUNTS TALKING SH*T ABOUT ME BECAUSE IN THE END IT IS MY P*SSY THAT TIP IS TASTING WHEN WE ARE FREAKING.

U KEEP SAYING I AM UGLY? OK FINE. BUT WHO HE WITH? SO ALL THE HATEFUL THINGS WILL COME BACK TO YOU, CHRISTIAN WOMAN. AND THERE IS A PLACE IN HELL FOR YOU. LIKE I SAID IF YOU CAN F*CKING READ "THE MISERABLE HAS NO OTHER MEDICINE BUT ONLY HOPE" AND I HOPE YOU GET WELL SOON B*TCH CAUSE YOU ARE A LIVE ONE!!

THE DEVIL IS A LIAR AND HE COME IN ALL FORMS, SO BEING THE CHRISTIAN WOMEN AGAIN THAT YOU ARE, LETS TAKE IT TO CHURCH!!! I KNOW YOU LOVE IT WHEN YOU COME TO MY PAGE THAT IS RIGHT MY PAGE CAUSE YOU GET A RESPONSE FROM ME AND NOT TIP. LETS JUST SAY THIS DOES TIP RETURN YOUR COMMENTS?

YOUR JUST MAD CAUSE YOU ARE HIDING AND BEHIND MULTIPLE PICTURES CLAIMING TO BE A WOMEN WHEN ACTUALLY YOU ARE A COWARD. FINDING ALL KINDS OF FLAWS MAKE YOU HAPPY RIGHT?

So let me break it down for you dear heart. ACTUALLY I AM GOING TO LET ALL MY HOMIES SING IT TO YOU SO SIT BACK AND ENJOY!!!

YOU CRAZY BITCH. AND LIKE I SAID THERE IS A PLACE IN HELL JUST FOR YOU AND IF YOU ATTENDED YOUR BIO CLASS INSTEAD OF F*CKING CUTTING CLASS SUCKING D*CK AT SOME DUDES APARTMENT THEN YOU WOULD KNOW THAT THE MAN MAKES THE SEX OF THE BABY!!

SO IN OTHER WORDS WHEN TIP WAS GRINDING AND LAYING IT ON ME AND CAME ALL UP IN THIS P*SSY HE RELEASED WHAT HE WANTED ME TO BE BLESSED WITH.

SO IF YOU BELIEVE IN GOD THEN YOU WOULD KNOW THAT ALL CHILDREN ARE GIFTS. GOD IS WATCHING YOU TOO BITCH AND I AM A FIRM BELIEVER OF KARMA. LOL.

Ahhhh!!! This mess is getting stupider by the minute! So, just a question Tiny... how do you mention -itch and God in the same breath? All this cussing and you're trying to keep it Christian like. I give you an A for effort. You tried to take the high road! But really, Tiny, only you and Tip know what you really have, so a response to this girl who is obviously envious of what you have, wasn't even necessary. But I do understand that sometimes you have to defend your "turf"!

Alicia Keys Throws Birthday Party For Swizz?

It's being reported all over that Ms. Alicia Keys threw a birthday party for her "secret lover" Swizz Beats. This further confirms the suspicions of everyone about Alicia being the cause for the break up between Swizz and his wife Mashonda.

Swizz brought out his entire family (mom and co.) along to celebrate. But it was supposed to be top secret that it was Alicia who actually threw this party for him. Supposedly Swizz and Mashonda were supposed to start marriage counseling next week, but I'm sure this little rendevous throws a wrench in all of those plans.

Alicia kept the purpose of the party secret from everyone else, including the African performer she hired for the party named Angelique Kidjo. Undoubtedly there will be no pictures of this party posted anywhere because Alicia is strict on her staff (obviously not strict enough because this got out) by incorporating strict confidentiality forms and no a cameras policy she has everyone in her camp sign.

Also, J-Lo and hubby Marc Anthony stopped by the party but left because of the blatant flaunting between Alicia and Swizz of their affair and relationship. Especially since Swizz and Mashonda haven’t signed the separation/divorce papers. J-Lo and Mashonda became friends over time because Swizz produced a couple of songs for her.

Did you know Swizz and Alicia are living together? Wooooooooooooooow!

Let The Rumors Fly: Usher and Tameka A Done Deal For Real?

Once again, we're hearing reports that new rumors are surfacing on the separation of Usher and his much older wife Tameka Foster, who by the way, is expecting their second child and Tameka's fifth.

The Chicago Times is where I read this first this morning. So Like I said, it's a rumor. But it would explain why Tameka's "guest" performer at her back to school event wasn't her own husband, and why Usher has all of a sudden rehired his mother. Let's put two and two together folks. It's not five... it's four!

Russell Simmons Sets The Record Straight!

Russell Simmons is trying to clear the air in regards to how he is to provide for his children. He put on his website, a statement that very much should make it crystal to everyone who is concerned:

Friends of mine have forwarded me gossip online about my custody agreement details with Kimora. The fact is, we’ve had a pretty good partnership at sharing the girls in the past. There have been a few bumps in the road, and those bumps have led us to negotiate a minimum amount of time I’m guaranteed to see my kids. That deal is as follows: I have the girls one full week out of every eight, half of the summer, half of all the holidays, a full week at Christmas, and half of Spring Break. Like in all good partnerships, contracts are meant to protect the partners but are usually not the only way the partners work together. If I show up in L.A., where she now lives, unannounced, I can call up Kimora and she will most likely send them right over. The same goes for when she comes to New York. We have always had a school in New York and a school with the same curriculum in L.A., so when the girls are with me in New York, we can spend quality time together. I can get up with them, take them to school and just be together. Kimora consults with me about doctors or schools for the girls, but she’s always had final say in those areas. If we had an argument about a school, guess who’s going to win? But there are other stipulations in our agreement where we have to make final decisions together. Anything having to do with business decisions pertaining to my kids cannot be done without my consent.I’ve also seen a lot about people reading into the supervised visits stipulation. Kimora travels with a security guard and a nanny. In the past, she’s gotten really nervous that I never travel with security, so if it makes her more comfortable to have her security and a nanny with us when I’m with my kids, that’s OK with me.

Finally, I want to say Kimora is a excellent mother and is doing a great job with them. My kids are studying a couple of foreign languages, they travel around the world, they practice yoga, ballet, swimming, karate and piano, among other things…sometimes I think they do too much, but I trust in Kimora on this because she IS a good mother. Regarding the money, my kids live a tremendous life. They do have lots of security, nannies, educators, special programs, travel, chefs, on and on. Their mother manages all of those luxuries and I’m happy to provide for that.

With great love all things are possible.

Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz Exposed

Ms. Keys a homewrecker? That's what all of the reports are saying. Sources say that the beautiful and talented Alicia Keys is the reason why producer/rapper Swizz Beats and his wife Mashonda divorced. These rumors have been circulating the net for some time now, but Mashonda has given an interview stating in regards to Alicia:

"She’s her own woman and she has made her own choices. I don’t have a problem with her. I wall say this though, I am not a scorned woman."

Yeah right... you ain't scorned? Then why do you feel the need to put it on blast by granting interviews and talking about it? Oh, wait... maybe it's because your singing career has been a flop since day one and this may get you some pub??? Hmmmm!

Karrine Just Loves Gettin Her Ass Whooped!

This chick loves the drama! Good night!!! So she's sent a text to her homeboy Perez Hilton this morning at damn near 5 a.m. saying:

"It's Karrine. U have to help me. My boyfriend just tried to run over me with his car. [I] Just made a police report. In August, he placed me in a choke hold at a strip club on my birthday. There's a report and photos of that. There was another choking I never reported but is now being investigated. I lied to the city attny to save his ass but I'm DONE. He'll kill me if I go on with this. YES…Eddie Winslow from Family Matters! I have to give you this story. Pls!"

What in the ....? Are you kidding me? How do you let yourself get caught up in this kind of crap again? She should know better by now. A man doesn't become abusive over night. He shows you signs that he will smack your ass in a heartbeat, but most women choose to ignore those signs. I don't mean to sound harsh, but you have to know what you're worth ladies. Know that NO ONE... should put their hands on you! EVER!!!!
