Joumana And Jason Divorce Heating Up Again
At first Jason Kidd and his wife Joumana's divorce was real dirty, with each accusing the other of outrageous abuses. Then they made a truce to stop airing their dirty laundry in public and everything seemed civil between them. Not Anymore...Kandi Burruss Broke Up Xscape Messing Around With Jermaine Dupri
The Internet is buzzing right now because Jermaine Dupri has a new book out called Young, Rich and Dangerous: The Making of a Music Mogul.
In the book Jermaine Durpi blames the singing group Xscape's break-up on them being difficult. Well, former Xscape member Tamika Scott-Byas went on Hot 97 and told Miss Jones that the real reason Xscape broke up is because Kandi Burruss was f**king Jermaine Durpri [and his father] and tried to pull a Diana Ross / Berry Gordy move on them.
Which reminded me about the time I heard about how Kandi had friction in the studio with Destiny's Child when she co-wrote Bills, Bills, Bills, because she might have been messing with LeToya Luckett's man or something like that.
Just to be safe better cuff your man around Kandi, ladies.

Pac Man Sued By Paralyzed Shooting Victim
A week ago NFL defensive back Adam “Pacman” Jones was telling people at the TNA iMPACT! tapings that as far as he knows, he is done with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling after that night's Bound For Glory pay-per-view, because despite repeated requests, TNA Vice president Jeff Jarrett had been unable to get the Tennessee Titans to allow Pacman to wrestle. And that ain't the only thing going wrong for Pacman, besides serving a one year suspension from the NFL for getting arrested one to many times. Tommy Urbanski, the man who was shot in the back and paralyzed in Las Vegas last year is suing both Pacman and the NFL, claiming the Tennessee Titans knew Adam "Pacman" Jones was trouble but refused to rein him in until after the Las Vegas strip club manager was shot and paralyzed, according to a lawsuit the former professional wrestler is expected to file in the Nevada courts.
