Oprah Takes Meeting with Abuse Victim's Family

That was quick. Less than one week after the family of abuse victim Aviwe Mncwabe took their story to the National Enquirer, they got a face to face with Oprah. We talked about it last week, remember? About how the girl was scared to go back to school and how she didn't get a cell phone and stuff. Anyway, Oprah flew to South Africa Sunday for the meeting. "The meeting went well. It took about two hours, and I appreciate that Oprah took time to listen," the girl's father told People magazine. The session with Oprah included him, his wife and their daughter. He said, "I am very happy and pleased that Oprah heard our side of the story. We have closure." Aviwe is back in school and her father said "I am so excited because we were invited to the end-of-year school party, which will be on Tuesday. The other pupils and families knew about the party, but we were never told. So it was a big surprise for us when Oprah asked us to join the party."

Pal of Fabolous Fatally Stabbed

Yeah so, over the weekend a childhood friend of Fab's got killed at club Duvet in NY. I guess the reason I'm mentioning it, is because at first they was saying Fab was there, then all of a sudden he wasn't. Club Duvet is around the corner from P Diddy's now defunct Justin's, where Fab got shot last year after some of his boys snatched a chain off Sebastian Telfair's neck.

Kanye West Getting Stronger

In his first performance since burying his mother, Kanye West was able to make it all the way through "Hey Mama" without breaking down. Kanye was on stage in London at the O2 arena Thanksgiving night when he dedicated the song to his mama and sang it all the way through. It wasn't until he finished the entire song that he put his head in his hands and cried while the audience gave him a three-minute ovation. A concertgoer shares, "It was the best performance I have ever seen him give, and because there was emotion there it was even better than the rest."

Did Buck Get Robbed?

I read on my favorite message board last night that Young Buck got robbed at gunpoint and relieved of a diamond studded necklace, a watch, and a Bentley in his own home town, Nashville, TN. That's gotta suck. And if it's true, ain't this the second time somebody took Buck chain?

Vick Ordered To Pay For Dogs Upkeep

Michael Vick's "deteriorating financial condition" prompted federal prosecutors to ask a judge to order the beleaguered NFL superstar to set aside nearly $1 million for the care of pit bulls seized from his dogfighting operation.

In court papers filed yesterday, the government asked federal Judge Henry Hudson to issue a restraining order that essentially would freeze about $928,000 to fulfill Vick's legal obligation to cover the costs of caring for the dogs and finding homes for them.

Prosecutors cited claims by Vick's creditors and former employer that threaten his ability to make good:

* An arbitrator's ruling that the quarterback should repay the Atlanta Falcons a $20 million bonus.
* A lawsuit by Wachovia Bank claiming Vick and others defaulted on a $1.3 million loan for a wine store.
* Royal Bank of Canada's lawsuit seeking payment for default on a $2.5 million credit line.
* A lawsuit by 1st Source Bank of South Bend, Ind., seeking at least $2 million for loans involving a rental-car business.

Dr. Jan Adams Walks Out on Larry King

Dr. Jan Adams waited until the very last minute to bail on Larry King. The show started with Larry saying that Dr. Adams was late getting to the studio, but that he would still be on the show. Then Larry said Dr. Adams had received a strongly worded letter from Dr. West's family imploring him not to speak about the surgery. Then Dr. Adams came on set and said he would speak only about himself and all untruths written him in the press, but moments later he walked off the set, saying he would honor the West family's wishes that he not say anything.
