I Ain't Saying She's A Gold Digger
OK all you 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' fans, if you recall, the super snotty faux designer Sheree Whitfield was not at all happy with the divorce settlement she got from her husband, former NFL player Bob Whitfield. The settlement consisted of a lump sum of $775,000.00, which she received in 2007, shares of Bob’s retirement pension, half the marital property and $2,142.87 a month in child support. Sheree currently receives $113,422 a year from Bob, who was not that great of a player, according to Wikipedia. Anyway, throughout the Bravo reality series, Sheree, who bragged about never having to shop on a budget, went on and on about how she was out to wrangle a 7 figure settlement out of Bob. Well, this coming Monday ReRe is taking her plea all the way to the Georgia Supreme Court, and guess why she thinks she's entitled to over a million dollars after only 3 years [and 2 kids] of marriage [well technically Bob and Sheree were married for 7 years but they separated after 3]? Her low level education. Sheree's lawyer says because Sheree only has a high school diploma there is no way she can get a job making the kind of money she requires to maintain the style of living she's accustomed to.
Ms. Wallace Wants To Talk To Kim
The late great Biggie Smalls' mother Voletta Wallace told Essence magazine: "There were things about him [Biggie] that I never knew that I wanted to see for myself on film. I saw a side of my son that I heard of but I haven’t accepted. I’m angered by certain things, disappointed and shocked. So this film taught me tolerance and to be less critical. I would love to speak to Lil’ Kim, because I need to ask more about this love relationship because I really didn’t like the way he treated her and I’m praying that that’s not it. Only she can answer those questions. She’s a sweet girl and I didn’t think she deserved to be treated the way he treated her, if that’s the case."

Kat Slapper Speaks
The dude from Detroit who slapped Kat Williams spoke to Vibe Magazine and this is what he had to say about the night he put the smack down: “I was probably with like 16, 17 dudes, we were scattered out throughout the club. Basically we were just up in there having a good time.” Kat passed dude, who was wearing a cowboy hat and a pair of $5,000 alligator cowboy boots, as he headed to the stage. When Kat got on the mic and started to riff, things went south. “I wasn’t even paying attention,” dude said. “I was talking to someone else while he was doing it. And then he pointed at me. I walked over to a couple of friends of mine, and they told me, ‘He’s clowning you.’ So I walked over there and asked [Kat], ‘So what you say? I don’t play that joke shit.’ So he was like, ‘And what?’ And that's when dude laid hands on Kat. "He didn’t even admit what he said when I asked him. He was still on some comedy stuff after I slapped him, I swear. After I slapped him, he jumped back and he was still talking and it was some girls holding him back. It was actually some girls in the club grabbing bottles like they wanted to do something to me too, like trying to protect him. He stopped and actually grabbed a square and was trying to light his cigarette. It was on some comedy stuff to me. He was trying to get his square lit, he took like two puffs, and he tried to charge back at me. But at this time, the security was heading me towards the door.” The next day on Detroit’s radio station WJLB, Kat told radio host Dr. Darrius dude slapped him in an attempt to steal his jewelry, a fact dude denied. “We weren’t trying to get his jewelry. I wasn’t that drunk to not know what was going on. [Kat] told like 20 percent of the truth [on the radio]. I could understand if we were at a comedy club, or some shit like that, but we weren’t there for that. It was after-hours, niggas was drunk, feeling it, we wasn’t there for that. It wasn’t no comedy show we were at. He’s mad because my guy was looking more pimpish than him. I’d do it again if he say something like that. And if I meet him, and he don’t do nothing like that, he on some old friendly buddy-buddy shit, I’m buddy-buddy too. I don’t have no problem. But if he got a problem next time we see each other…”

And, as per the agreement, as long as Jeff stays out of trouble until March '09, everything is all good. Click here to see the tasering go down.
