Tiger Woods Wife Kicked His Ass
Two days after The National Enquirer broke the news that Tiger Woods was cheating on his wife, Tiger had a 'mysterious accident' at the foot of his driveway. Initial reports were that Tiger had somehow crashed into a firehydrant at the end of his driveway and then somehow crashed into a tree and that his wife had used a golf club to smash out the back window of his SUV in order to free him from the truck. What really [allegedly] happened was Tiger's wife confronted him about his cheating, scratched up his face, chased him out of the house and smashed out the windows of his truck with a 9 iron.

Usher's New Tameka
People around Usher are drawing comparisons between his new girlfriend, Def Jam exec Grace Miguel, and his ex-wife Tameka. First of all Grace, though estranged from her husband, is still married just like Tameka was. Grace at 42 is older than Usher, just like Tameka was and she reportedly doesn't get along with his mother, just like Tameka didn't. People say Grace and Usher's mom are butting heads because Grace has been making more and more decisions concerning Usher's career even though she works for Def Jam, which is seen as a conflict of interest because Usher's contract is with Jive.
Oprah to The Rescue
Do you remember last year when that boutique in Wisconsin sued Oprah's mother for $155,000.00 because she'd stopped paying on her open credit line [click here if you missed that]? Fuggetaboutit. The boutique says Oprah recently settled the debt and though they wouldn't disclose details, admitted they would be receiving at least some of what was owed.
At the time, in her counter suit against the boutique, Oprah's mom Vernita argued she was not responsible for the debt, instead blaming the boutique for extending her that large a credit limit knowing full well the troubles she's had in the past with paying her bills on time [click here if you missed that].

Burn!
Now that Oprah has said she's not going to continue her talk show after 2011, CBS is already talking greasy about how they don't need her anyway. In a memo leaked to the press CBS says, "We think Oprah's significance is likely overblown for CBS. So while the loss of a longstanding distribution deal is disappointing for CBS, it's hardly a material hit to the numbers, in our view." The note went on to say they earn far more from Judge Judy and Entertainment Tonight than they do from Oprah.
Who You Gonna Believe? Me or Your Lying Eyes?
Fantasia Barrino says bump what you've heard. She is not messing around with a married man and she did not have his name tattooed on her shoulder. Fantasia told Honey Magazine, " Yes, [the rumors] were all really cute to me. I guess it was something about a guy from T-Mobile? Inaccurate. He was hot, but I think I’m looking for my own man. There’s no boo in my life, I’m married to my career. Right now I’m not really focused on a boyfriend; we all know what happens when you get them… I have no tattoo on my shoulder, [that rumor] was very well put together! I wear my body out more purposefully now and when I’m walking I see people checking, “Like does she have a tattoo there?” As a matter of fact, I’ve never even [met him] before. I think I’d want to be with a guy who’s in the same tax bracket as I am … or higher!"

Raymond v Raymond Pushed Back
Usher's new cd Raymond v Raymond will not be coming out until sometime next year. Originally scheduled to be released around Christmas, it's now been shelved indefinitely and according to his label it's because the disk is so good. Huh? Yeah. Usher's reps told MTV, “We believe that the album is so strong that we want to give it the opportunity to have the proper setup before coming out.”
Shots Fired
People are still rumbling over the American Music Awards. After Jay Z won the award for Favorite Rap Male Artist, he gave his acceptance speech and at the end said, "Men lie, women lie but numbers don't" and then laughed into the camera. Now since 50 Cents new cd sold a paltry 150,000 copies when it was released last week, it's a safe bet that Jay was taking a shot at Fif who's been running around with Beanie Sigel dissing Jay on any radio station that will let them get on. So yesterday LL Cool J weighed in on his Twitter saying, "numbers don't lie but the people counting them might." I'm guessing L is still a little salty about the whole Jay Z Def Jam presidency thing.

Timbaland Distances Himself From Chris Brown
Chris Brown was supposed to be on a track with Timbaland called Maniac. After thinking better of it and changing the name of the song to The One I Love, they finally decided to just take Chris off the track altogether. While insiders swear it's because of the controversy currently swirling around Chris, the official line is that they did it because of a "creative decision for both parties" adding, "There's nothing against Chris. We love Chris." And it's just a coincidence that Timaband's and Chris' cds are both being released on December 8. <--yeah right.
Day 26 Left Bad Boy Records
and went where? They told BoomBox.com, "Bad Boy is always our family, but we're with Atlantic right now." Well, good luck with that.
Nicole Murphy and Michael Strahan Planning Small Wedding
Nicole Murphy told People Magazine "It's my second time around, and I had the big extravagant wedding when I got married to Eddie. I want to do something really simple. I want the dress to be flowy and elegant, and I'd love all the guests to wear cream, and no shoes on the beach." Nicole and Michael are set to marry June 10, 2010.
Jennifer Hudson
is scheduled to sing at the White House for the President and Mrs. Obama and their guests at a state dinner tonight.
Rihanna Says
"It was like: 'Of course she had to give Jay-Z oral sex to get that deal.' That rumour was everywhere in Barbados and it was so disgusting. It made me feel really weird. I would even be weird around Jay-Z. I wouldn't be able to look him in the eye. One day, he called and he was like, 'Yo, you can't buy into these rumours. You can't let people move you with anything they say.' The rumours got very funny to me after that."

Dr. Conrad Murray
is returning to his practice in Houston today. Also, Katherine Jackson is seriously considering filing a wrongful death suit against him.
Let's Get Ready to Rum-ble!
DMX is getting sued y'all. Remember that celebrity boxing match he was supposed to be participating in and bragged about how he wasn't going to train for the fight because he has a natural gift for kicking ass, and then when he found out the match was real and that he wasn't "scheduled" to win he backed out [click here if you missed that]? Well the boxing promoters are suing The Dog for $1 million dollars. My advice to X, who also just got nabbed by the IRS for failure to pay $1.5 million in back taxes, just fight and take the L, dude.
Rihanna Says
"He has to be good in bed and the size matters. You know what I mean? The inner beauty counts as well, but without a toy it doesn't make it fun. Right now I don't want to have a serious relationship, I want to have fun. I love flirting at the moment. I'm single and I'm enjoying my freedom. But I don´t give my phone number out that often. But if I'm dating, I check the boy from the top to the bottom."

Diddy Says
"I've never had any problem with Shyne. I've never had any problem with him, I was looking forward to him coming home and just getting out here and letting people see what I saw. I think (his career) was cut down too early, people never got a chance to see what I saw. I never wish bad on anybody, I only wish somebody the best and I hope he gets to come back to the United States, he did his time, he deserves to come back."
Street Family Back in Business
Everybody knows rapper Fabolous runs with a stick-up gang called The Street Family [click here if you didn't]. Well, the latest caper pulled by The Family is coming back to haunt Fab. Surveillance video from valet parking at the Intercontinental Hotel in Atlanta show members of Fab's entourage snagging the keys to a blue Lamborghini and driving off with it. Investigators on the case trying to subpoena Fab for questioning have been thwarted by the District Attorney who instead is offering immunity to anyone who can assist in the case. The Lambo owner is suing the hotel over the theft.

“I’m newly separated – no-one really knows what went wrong [I can think of one reason. click here]. My husband and I are still cool – we get along great. But that could become challenging. If things go further, you may read about some things… things will have to be split and all of that.”

Not a Good Week for The Reid Men
Not if what Diary of a Hollywood Street King says is true. First L A Reid's son Aaron had his tiny peen splashed all over the Internet by a disgruntled groupie [click here if you missed that] and now there's word L A will soon be out of a job. Not a lot of details though because, you know, it's gossip.

Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri are not back together.

I love him to death. We're still connected. We're still good friends. We still talk... We're there for one another. I think it will remain that way for the rest of my life."

Pay Cut for Oprah?
Word around the block is, when or if Oprah renews her contract in 2011 it won't be for nearly much as she gets now because ratings are waaaay down.
