Isaiah Washington Evicted From Home!

Actor Isaiah Washington was evicted from his multi-million dollar home that he was leasing with the option to purchase. The owner evicted him and his family due to $100,000 owed in back rent.

The good news is Isaiah just signed a new movie deal and I'm sure he and his wife Jenisa have already found a new home...but what pisses me off is the fact that I still have a prob with the way ABC fired Isaiah from "Grey's Anatomy"...I truly believe he was lied on and other folks had other motives for lying on Isaiah....

Anywho I won't get into all that at the moment...(F.Y.I- I blogged about it on Myspace when it happened...check out my blog on Myspace if interested)

Keep your head up Isaiah! Screw Grey's! Next!

Ummm..Not that it is a big surprise, but sources are saying that Diddy and singer Cassie are definitely together! Details below:

A source who attended a private after hours soiree at Diddy’s Florida home over the weekend exclusively tells Scandalist, “Diddy and Cassie were definitely together. They were all over each other and didn’t leave each other’s side the whole night.”

Diddy and Cassie have been rumored to be hooking up for more than a year, but the Bad Boy has always denied it. “I am still single and am not in love with anyone,” he said when rumors of he and Cassie being an item first surfaced.

Our source insists, however, that the two artists definitely looked hot and heavy. “They were hooking up all night,” our source revealed. And what a night it was. The source tells Scandalist that the party went until well past 7 am, when house DJ Felix played a special set for Diddy and his guests.

Kelly Rowland and Record Company Part Ways!

Grammy Award-winning singer Kelly Rowland says rumors that her split with Columbia Records, revealed Monday, having to do with not being “commercially viable” are false! Details below:

Kelly Roland Pictures, Images and Photos


In a statement obtained early Tuesday, Rowland and Columbia reveal that the former “Like This” singer will not only continue on at Columbia as part of Destiny’s Child but the split was truly amicable and her decision.

“Because Columbia Records has been my home base as an artist for more than a decade, the decision to move out on my own required a lot of soul-searching,” says Kelly Rowland.

“As a solo artist, I felt the need to explore new directions, new challenges, and new freedoms outside my comfort zone and my friends and family at Columbia have been incredibly understanding about my evolution. I want to thank everyone at Columbia for the love and support they’ve shown and I will never forget how many good times we’ve had over the years.”

While at Columbia, Rowland helped to earn Destiny’s Child (including Beyonce and Michelle Williams) the distinction of becoming the #1 female pop group of all time, a fact that Columbia/Epic Label Music Group CEO Rob Stringer can’t ignore.

“Kelly Rowland is one of our finest contemporary artists and a musical force to be reckoned with,” says Stringer.

“It has been a privilege and a pleasure to work with Kelly and we will continue our working relationship with her under the Destiny’s Child moniker. The decision for Kelly to seek other opportunities for her solo career was agreed upon mutually, and any reports to the contrary are false.”


In addition to selling more than 50 million records worldwide with Destiny’s Child, Kelly Rowland sold more than 4 million copies globally of her two solo albums: 2002’s “Simply Deep” and 2007’s “Ms. Kelly,” which included the international #1 chart-topping single, “Work.”

As previously reported on Singersroom, Rowland has inked a new deal with BRAVO for the forthcoming series “The Fashion Show” slated to premiere on the network later this year.

Anyone who knows me...knows that I am a movie fanatic! Horror, Comedy, Drama, Thriller/Mystery, Classic, etc...doesn't matter!

So I must say, I cannot believe it took me 2 years before I watched the movie "Illegal Tender".....after great debate..I finally decided to see the movie a few nights ago on cable.

Photobucket

To my surprise..it was an excellent movie! Rick Gonzalez, Wanda De Jesus, Manny Perez and the entire cast gave explosive portrayals of their characters.

If you want to see piercing drama, incredible acting, and hear a fab soundtrack in the background...you must see "Illegal Tender"!...

This is a movie that needs to be added to your collection! Purchase a copy today! Even though it was on cable, I ordered a copy the same night after I saw it! LOL...

Bye Bye...To GM CEO Rick Wagoner!

Chief Executive Officer of General Motors, Rick Wagoner has "stepped aside" at the request of the Obama administration in efforts to overhaul a deteriorating U.S auto industry....Gots to go!Details below:

Photobucket

According to the New York Times, the White House all but terminated the GM CEO on Sunday and further concluded Chrysler could not survive as a stand-alone company and has been ordered to merge with Italian automaker Fiat within 30 days in order to secure the next round of government assistance. GM and Chrysler have until Tuesday to convince the Treasury Department that they can establish concrete sustainability in the long run. If they fail to succeed, the government may take back a collective $17.4 billion it has already contributed to both companies.

General Motors and Chrysler have been directly affected by the credit crisis that has plagued the U.S. economy in recent months, resulting in substantial losses and plunging auto sales. GM and Chrysler combined have suffered a 50% decrease in sales so far this year.

Wagoner's resignation takes place a day before President Obama is scheduled to announce the most up-to-date specifics of the federal plan to rebuild GM and Chrysler's infrastructures. A senior GM official told CNN that Wagoner agreed to step down after the administration's auto industry team "sent very clear signals" and suggested "new leadership" would promote significant changes. Washington officials were shocked by the Obama administration's hands-on approach to the restructuring of the U.S. auto industry, marking it the most involved government has been in big business since The Great Depression.

Today President Obama will present his plan to provide government secured warranties on GM and Chrysler vehicles in hopes to boost consumer confidence and stimulate sales. In a White House question and answer session last Thursday, President Obama explained that there has been "a lot of mismanagement of the auto industry over the past several years," and additional government funds would not be dispersed unless each company displayed a "willingness to make some pretty drastic changes."

As recently as March 18, Wagoner said he had no intention to resign. G.M. officials disclosed that an official statement will be issued after the president announces his reformation plans. According to CNN, current COO, Fritz Henderson is expected to resume Wagoner's position.

Oprah's Academy In Africa Rocked By 2nd Sex Scandal!

I know at this point, Oprah wants to ring the neck of the student in question. This buffoonery must stop! Another sex scandal has rocked the Academy that Oprah poured her heart, love and money into...and this is how they repay her. This trifiling behavior is ridiculous. Where is the supervision? Clean house and start ovah!...Details below:


Photobucket

Oprah Winfrey’s elite boarding school for girls in South Africa has been rocked by its second sex scandal in fewer than two years.

Seven students were suspended last week for sexually harassing their schoolmates, the “Afrikaans on Sunday” newspaper reported.

One 15-year-old was accused of preying on another pupil and forcing other girls to lie to investigators about it, the paper reported.

“You have been found guilty of physical contact of a sexual nature with another pupil on campus, harassment, bullying other girls on campus and of being dishonest by not telling investigators the whole truth,” a letter to her parents read.

Other girls were caught fondling each other or trying to get other girls to join them in lesbian liasons, the paper reported.

Oprah’s spokesperson, Lisa Halliday, confirmed the girls had been suspended from the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy School for Girls - but gave few details.

“It is because they contravened the school’s code of conduct,” she said. “We regard the incident as confidential.”




UPDATE: (4.01.09) OPRAH WINFREY RELEASES STATEMENT VIA ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT:

In a statement, Oprah expresses her regret that as many as seven girls allegedly sexually harassed other students. A spokesperson for the school says students were told to leave for violating the code of conduct, but said it was “a confidential school matter.”

“I’m disappointed that several of our students chose to disregard the school’s rules. It’s disheartening when any student has to be suspended or expelled and it’s a process that involves serious review and consideration,” Oprah says in the statement. “We insist on maintaining a campus environment that commands mutual respect, fosters academic excellence and encourages learners to fulfill their best potential.”

She continues, “Indiscretions resulting in disciplinary action are common in schools all over the world. Unfortunately, because of my name these common infractions place the Academy in the media spotlight.”

Rihanna Wants Chris Brown To Apologize To Oprah On Her Show!

Rihanna wants Chris to apologize to Oprah on her show...she wants a public apology..and sources say at that time she will consider whether or not she will take him back. Details below:

Just days from being arraigned on “making criminal threats” and assault charges, R&B singer Chris Brown is said to be considering a visit to Oprah’s famous couch! Reportedly requested by Rihanna, Brown’s apology comes on the heels of Oprah’s rumored invite issued to Rihanna to come on the show and talk about her relationship with Brown and the alleged altercation Feb. 8.

Instead of visiting Oprah herself, Rihanna is rumored to have asked Brown to not only pay a visit to Oprah but apologize to her on the mogul’s couch before the world. Sources affiliated with Look Magazine say “Rihanna has been talking to Oprah Winfrey on a regular basis since late February when Oprah begged her not to take Chris back. She’s been having second thoughts about them being back together.”"Agreeing to go on Oprah’s show and tell the world how sorry he is will help make up her mind,” the insider went on to tell Look Magazine.

The singer, 50, was accompanied by her daughter Lourdes, 12, and sons Rocco, 8, and David, 3, whom she adopted from Malawi last year. And she and Lourdes visited Chinkhota Village, where Madonna has purchased a large tract of land to construct a girls' school there, which sources say is modeled on the Leadership Academy for Girls that Oprah Winfrey built in South Africa.

Although the village chief thanked the singer for her "generosity," some residents were less enthusiastic amid fears that they would lose their ancestral lands and crop fields.

Lebron James and "The Shot" On 60 Minutes!

Update! It's Official: Madonna To Adopt A Baby Girl From Malawi!

As previously reported on the "Chocolate Chick", Madonna is set to adopt a 2nd child. Congrats! Details below:

Photobucket


Madonna is heading to Malawi where she is planning to adopt a child, according to officials in that country. "We are expecting her this weekend," an official from the Ministry of Women and Child Welfare, which is responsible for adoption in the African nation.

The official says that Raising Malawi, the charity the singer established there, filed adoption papers for a baby girl, whose identity has not been revealed. "All is set for the adoption; all the paperwork is ready," he says.

Madonna is expected to appear in the High Court in the capital of Lilongwe next week to start the process for the second adoption. The singer's rep had no comment.

Madonna recently told Malawi's Nation newspaper that she wants a sister for her son David, 3, whom she adopted from the country. "Many people – especially our Malawian friends – say that David should have a Malawian brother or sister," she told the paper in a rare interview. "It's something I have been considering, but would only do if I had the support of the Malawian people and government."

David's father, Yohane Banda, says that officials from Raising Malawi visited him last week to alert him to Madonna's impending arrival. "I was told anytime Madonna is coming with my son and her other children," said the soft-spoken tomato and onions farmer in a telephone interview. "They didn't give me dates but they just said 'soon.' "

R&B trio Bell Biv Devoe and Star Jones’ ex-husband Al Reynolds are confirmed to appear in the forthcoming TV ONE reality series “Life After” !

Set to premiere this fall, the TV One and K2 Pictures project will take a look at the behind-the-scenes story of celebrities that have had to deal with adversity within their public lives.

“Life After will balance joyous moments with painful memories as the show seeks to capture how those featured have both celebrated and enjoyed their fame - and endured their darkest hours,” said TV One senior vice president of original programming Toni Judkins in a statement.


Bell Biv Devoe and Al Reynolds will be joined by ‘Family Matters’ star Jaimee Foxworth; actor Taimak (The Last Dragon) and The John Larroquette Show star Daryl “Chili” Mitchell.

Al Reynolds, in recent years, has been at the center of several controversial topics including his wedding, breakup and divorce from former daytime host Star Reynolds, while Bell Biv Devoe emerged from the often controversial group New Edition.

“Life After will investigate the ways in which these landmark moments shaped their lives, allowing them to share intimate revelations from the unpredictable journey of life.”

‘Life After’ is slated to air on TV ONE this fall.

Five months after the tragic murders of three of her family members, Jennifer Hudson is moving forward with planning her wedding to David Otunga — and returning to the American Idol stage. After Idol’s tribute to Motown Wednesday, Hudson — who finished in 7th place in season 3 — pre-taped a performance for a future episode of the show. Host Ryan Seacrest then chatted with Hudson and asked her if she had set a date for her wedding. “Yeah, but it’s a secret,” she replied. “I can’t tell anybody.”

Hudson, who will be touring with Robin Thicke to promote her self-titled, debut album starting March 31, told Seacrest, “It feels great” to be back on the stage where she started her singing career. Dressed in a black dress, a blazer, and leggings, Hudson, 25, who won a Grammy for best R&B album earlier this year, gave a rousing vocal performance of her single “If This Isn’t Love.” Fellow Idol alum Ruben Studdard also pre-taped a performance that will air Thursday night.

Mariah Carey is ready to expand her family - and she wants a baby girl. The pop superstar has prematurely dropped $200K on furniture, including a pink crib and highchair, from a children’s store in San Francisco for the new Hollywood home she intends to buy with hubby Nick Cannon.

A source close to the diva reveals she has made an offer on the David Saperstein estate in the exclusive western L.A. neighborhood of Holmby Hills. Her neighbors would be the Beckham brood and Hugh Hefner. The French Chateau-style mansion, which has been on the market for months at the asking price of $125 million, is a minipalace with Italian marble walls, French limestone floors, gold-embossed leather wall coverings, a nine-car garage, ballroom, private running track and movie screening room.

Low Class B***h insults First Lady Michelle Obama!!

A stupid B***h by the name of Tammy Bruce completely disrespected First Lady Michelle Obama in such an absurd way, even saying that there is now "trash" living in the White House...of course it's all coming from envy, jealousy, and the fact that some "folks" can't get over the fact that there is a devoted, loving, educated, intelligent black family in the White House!"....

But to go even further, this racist B***h will never attain the class, intelligence, grace and beauty that First Lady Michelle Obama has. She can and never will come close!


I know that hurts like a mofo! Deal with it heffa! Of course she can say whateva she wants...as I have stated many times...Freedom of Speech Rocks!.....Howeva...she is still an ignorant imbecile!

Kobe & Vanessa Bryant Sued By Housekeeper!

Personally, I don't think or believe Kobe Bryant was verbally abusive at all toward the housekeeper. Quite possibly there could have been words exchanged between the help and Vanessa. However, enough to call it abuse and to file suit?? Hell No!

Sounds like someone is trying to get PAID!!



Kobe and Vanessa Bryant Pictures, Images and Photos


Kobe Bryant and his wife Vanessa are being sued by their former housekeeper, who claims Vanessa was incredibly abusive — even demanding that she put her hand in a bag of dog feces to retrieve a tag from her blouse.

Maria Jimenez claims Vanessa called her “lazy, slow dumb, a f—ing liar, and f—ing sh-t.”

In the lawsuit filed in Superior Court in Orange County, Jimenez claims Vanessa accused her of stealing her (mouth) retainer.

Micheal Vick Released From Prison!!

Mike Vick is free!


mick vick Pictures, Images and Photos


Former Atlanta Falcons football quarterback Michael Vick has been released from federal prison in Kansas and is reportedly headed to Virginia to handle is financial affairs. No information has been released as to when he left the Leavenworth facility, but the U.S. Bureau of Prisons website shows his status as "in transit." Vick is due in court on April 2 in Virginia for a hearing on his Chapter 11 bankruptcy case.

In related news, Vick changed defense attorneys this week, replacing attorney Billy Martin with Daniel Meachum. Martin was well known for representing high profile clients in the past including Allen Iverson, Jayson Williams and Monika Lewinsky. According to The Atlanta Journal Constitution, Meachum, an original member of Vick's defense team, signed an exclusive three-year contract to represent the star quarterback.

Meachum told The AJC, "Yes, I'm representing Mike again. My concern is helping Michael get back to his family and surround him with people like Julius Erving, Tony Dungy, and Bishop T.D. Jakes. We need people around him who can help him and his family get back on the right track. I'm more interested in that than anything else."

The former Atlanta Falcons team leader was previously scheduled to be transferred from the federal penitentiary into a halfway house in May, then completely released from federal custody on July 21st. Vick is serving a 23-month sentence on charges relating to his involvement in a dog fighting ring. Vick hopes to be reinstated to the NFL this year once he returns home and the Falcons are seeking to trade his contract.

Meachum also told The AJC, "Vick has served his time. He's remorseful for his mistakes. I hope they give him another opportunity, but football will take care of itself." Vick has not commented on the reason for the council switch.

Tom Joyner Show Replaced With The Steve Harvey Morning Show In Chicago!

"Tom Joyner has been a great partner with V103 for the past 13 years, making it difficult to part ways," WVAZ-FM program director Derrick Brown told the Chicago Tribune. "We appreciate all Tom's hard work and wish him continued success."


Steve Harvey Pictures, Images and Photos

Tom Joyner Pictures, Images and Photos

Joyner has been a favorite on the Chicago airwaves dating back to his beginnings in the 1980s. On the other hand, Harvey began his radio career in 1996 at WGCI-FM and now boasts the #1 syndicated radio show on black radio with a reported 7 million listeners daily. The two broadcasting powerhouses, who both had cameos in Tyler Perry's latest hit movie 'Madea Goes To Jail,' successfully co-existed in the major market for years.

Harvey, who coincidentally appeared on Oprah Winfrey's Chicago-based talk show to promote his best-selling book 'Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man' yesterday was-- up until today-- only heard on WGCI-FM. The popular comedian's show is expected to air on both Clear Channel-owned stations until March 31. On April 1, a new programming effort will be unveiled.

"Steve Harvey is an entertainment and marketing juggernaut," Brown told the newspaper. "There are very few entertainers who have successfully tackled radio, TV, film, stage, online and publishing. ... Being a 'King of Comedy,' nobody can beat Steve being funny."


*TOM JOYNER RELEASES STATEMENT:

We always say that when we come back from vacation something big has either happened or is about to happen. Well, this one topped them all. After 16 years, the Tom Joyner Morning Show won’t be broadcast on a local Chicago radio station, at this time. For Sybil and me, our relationship with the Chicago radio listeners goes back more than 20 years and believe me it has not ended by any stretch of the imagination.

Friends and family in the Chicago market will continue to listen to the Party with a Purpose on www.BlackAmericaWeb.com . So this isn’t the end, it’s just a change.

Even though we’re heard in more than 100 markets around the country, Chicago is home, it’s the Mother Ship, the Flagship, all those words that mean it is the place that launched the TJMS. It’s where we came from and where we always could go back to. And we’re still there, just in a different way—for now! We’ve had great times in Chicago and we’ll be there soon to officially thank the thousands and thousands of you who made us what we are, and will be here with us as we take this to another level. We got where we are by knowing who you are, what you want and by Super Serving our audience, just like my mentor John H. Johnson taught me to do. This world is changing but the doing the right thing never does, and we will continue to do what we’ve always done for the African American Community.

Michael Misick, The Premier of Turks & Caicos Has Resigned!!

The Independent is reporting that Turks and Caicos Islands premier Michael Misick has resigned from office following an investigation that found “clear signs of corruption.”

“I will tender my resignation, effective today, to allow the new PNP party leader to become Premier,” Misick, 43, announced Monday. Misick, who denies selling Crown land for personal gain, quit a week earlier than expected. His departure follows allegations that his party misused public funds and profited from the sale of government-owned land in controversial deals, including one to build a Dubai-style luxury resort off the coast of the islands in the West Indies.

Britain plans to dissolve the territory’s cabinet and legislature following the inquiry, prompting accusations that civil servants in London failed to scrutinize a series of deals. One saw an east European oligarch acquire land worth millions of pounds for an annual rent of just £170. The Foreign Office has said it will suspend much of the islands’ constitution and hand power to the resident British governor, Gordon Wetherell, ending Misick’s six-year tenure as Premier.

Misick, who is separated from his wife, the actress LisaRaye McCoy-Misick, owns two private jets, wears designer suits and once claimed to have bought his wife a Rolls-Royce Phantom, which transpired to be on a £4,700-a-month lease in her name.

Damon Dash and Rachel Roy Divorcing!

Fashion designer Rachel Roy filed for divorce from her husband of four years this month in Manhattan Supreme Court.

Damon Dash & Rachel Roy Pictures, Images and Photos

Ed Hayes, a lawyer for Roy, declined comment, and a Dash spokeswoman did not return calls or e-mails. An electronic record of the case says the divorce is for “nonmonetary relief” and should be resolved by February.

Dash and Roy, who put her own name on a women’s fashion line, got hitched in Mexico in January 2005. They met when Roy was working at Rocawear and have two daughters. The breakup is the latest legal mess for the has-been hip-hop titan, whose empire - which he once pegged at “about $50 million” in a New York magazine profile - has crumbled under massive debt, bad business deals and one suit after another.

Dash, who in 2005 sold his stake in Rocawear to Jay-Z for $20 million, owes $2 million in state taxes, and a bank has started foreclosure proceedings on his two Tribeca condos.

Speculation of a developing fling between embattled singer Rihanna and actor Wilmer Valderrama are going from rumours to reports. Last week, FYB reported that the unlikely twosome were getting cozy at a Hollywood nightspot. Now comes news that they were spotted canoodling a second time at the Geisha House (where Wilmer hosts weekly karaoke nights) last weekend.

After Rihanna made her arrival, the former star of That 70s Show locked his eyes and soon the duo were flirting up a storm.
“Rihanna looked so pretty and Wilmer could hardly take his eyes off her,” a source tells The Mirror. “They were chatting and laughing for ages. They looked pretty cozy and relaxed in each other’s company. Wilmer was all charm and even had a bottle of champagne for Rihanna.”

In February, Brown, 19, allegedly assaulted Rihanna and his name has since appeared in countless negative articles and discussions of domestic abuse. Rihanna, too, has faced fallout, including criticism for taking Brown back. (According to one source, they have since decided to take a break.)

"It's really hard for him to focus right now on his music, even though he really wants to," said Gibson. "At the end of the day, I'm not trying to justify it because wrong is wrong, but unfortunately, us as entertainers, we have to grow up on stage with a lot of people looking at us. And a lot of people forget that he's 19, she's only 21."

Duluth, Georgia Police told S2S that Brian Dalyrimple will be indicted on 145 counts of aggravated identity fraud. A laundry list of related charges, like forgery and aggravated bank fraud (just to name a few!), will be part of the indictment. Police say that Brian’s brothers (and fellow group members), Jason Dalyrimple and Andre Dalyrimple, will be indicted for their involvement in the case too. However, police did not say what specific role they played in the fraud. Brian, 33, was arrested on suspicion of identity fraud earlier this month. He’d been running from Duluth PD with his infant son since February. Police finally caught him in North Carolina, where he was taken into custody. Cops became alarmed when someone from California called Duluth PD saying they’d lost $12,000 due to fraudulent purchases. The victim told police that information had been used at a bank in Georgia to open a checking and credit account. Police tracked the fraudulent purchases to two apartments in the same Georgia complex, both of which Brian was renting under false identities. A police search of one apartment turned up a crop of driver’s licenses from different states in different names. “[We also found] a multitude of fraudulently obtained credit cards,” said Major Woodruff of Duluth PD, “documents for bank loans, checking and savings accounts in fraudulent names, account and routing numbers belonging to legitimate accounts and documents containing identifying information of many individuals.” Duluth Police also said that Brian was using false identities to lease at least four other apartments. Laborah Crawford (Brian’s baby mama) was arrested in connection with the same identity fraud case immediately following the search. She is currently being held in Gwinnett County Jail and hasn’t been cooperating with police for further investigation. Brian’s 10-month old son was put in his grandmother’s care after Laborah was arrested. Police told WSBTV.com that Brian later took his son from a daycare center one afternoon after the child had been dropped off. The baby has now been safely returned to his grandmother. It’s estimated that the victims (260 people and eight banks) have lost as much as $1,000,000 because of the fraud.
