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."
Macy's Suing Baby Phat
Macy's is suing Kimora Lee Simmons for trying to be slick. According to the lawsuit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court last week, Kimora signed an agreement to provide Macy's with her line of cosmetics, and then jacked up the price after the deal was done. Macy's claimed once they noticed the oversight, Kimmie refused to return the extra dough.
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?

The family of the girl abused at Oprah's $40 million Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa says their daughter, Aviwe Mncwabe, was shut out of the special confessional circle Oprah held with the students and their families when she flew to SA to deal with the abuse allegations, and that Aviwe was never given one of the special cell phones with Oprah's private number that was given to the other students...
