Good luck with that Kim. Next time, read before you sign.

Internet Chatter

Wendy Williams says she is in possession of a sex tape showing a married rapper's wife that does not include the rapper and she's willing to sell it to the highest bidder. Ok, shouldn't be too hard to figure this out. How many rappers are married? Jay Z and Beyonce, Nas and Kelis, Snoop and Shante and Ice T and CoCo. However, Wendy does mention in part two of the segment there are no kids involved and that mainstream media does not care, so that leaves only Nas and Kelis or Ice T and Coco.

The Invitations Have Been Sent

and I know you don't care, but they're a whopping 11 pages long. Mel B, who got married to Stephen Belafonte [no relation to Harry] in Las Vegas last year shortly after giving birth to her and Eddie Murphy's baby, sent out invites for a lavish wedding ceremony to be held in Egypt later this year. An insider claims, "The invite was very ornate and detailed and included a contract, to be signed by the recipient, agreeing to be photographed and videotaped because Mel is going to be selling the pictures to a magazine for as high a price as she can get." Well good luck with that guest list Mel. In light of recent tourist kidnappings in Egypt it wouldn't be surprising if nobody famous showed up.
