R.I.P.

Oprah Here I Come

not me. BeBe Winans. A month or so ago BeBe Winans got kicked off  Oprah's schedule after BeBe's ex-wife called foul saying Oprah was using double standards allowing BeBe on her show, because BeBe had pushed her to the ground during an argument over child custody at her home in Nashville [click here if you missed that], this after Oprah had famously condemned Chris Brown for the same thing. Well the case against BeBe has been dismissed. There's a catch though

Tell 'em Why You Mad

After a few fans trashed the corsets and lacefront wigs rappers Trina and Nicki Minaj wore for Nicki's birthday party, Trina had enough and put you haters in check.

What's Going on at Tiger's House?

Late yesterday, after 50-11 bitches came forward, every type from porn stars to waitresses, all talking about unprotected sex with Tiger Woods, word spread that Tiger's wife had been seen moving out of their home. Fast forward to this morning when a young female with a blonde ponytail [suspected to be Tiger's wife or her twin sister] was seen taken from the home in an ambulance.

Jennifer Hudson Film Role in Jeopardy

Last month we talked about Jennifer Hudson winning the role of Winnie Mandela in a new film about the former South African First Lady's life [click here if you missed that]. And while that was all well and good for Jennifer, it was not so hot for South African actors. The Creative Workers Union of South Africa are threatening to sue for an injunction against the film unless a South African is cast in the title role.

Shaunie Gets The Greenlight

Before her very public break-up with Shaquille O'Neal, Shaq's wife Shaunie was producing a reality show for VH1 called Basketball Wives. Well, after Shaunie packed up the kids and stormed off to LA to file for divorce we assumed the show was dead in the water. RWS and Shaquille O’Neal are going to learn to stop underestimating Ms. Shaunie's shrewd business sense. This is the same Shaunie that Shaq accused of hiding money and real estate the last time they broke up [click here if you missed that], so it should come as no surprise that Shaunie is going on with her show. POW!

Could it Be Her Boyfriend's Wife?

Naomi Campbell, her billionaire boyfriend, and a bunch of other celebrities were in Miami over the weekend for the annual Art Basel event. The Basel, which was subdued and low key last year because of the economy, is back to it's old self and so is Naomi Campbell. People are talking about the 'stalker' who kept acousting Naomi at The Basel all weekend. They say a British woman kept coming up to Naomi screaming in her face and calling her bitches and that the two had to be pulled apart more than once. Surprisingly no blows were thrown but Naomi did have to hire a bodyguard.

Tyrese Wants Some Attention

Tyrese Gibson has one of those Say Now channels, you know where he leaves messages for fans and fans can leave messages for him? Anyway, a few days ago Ty left a disturbing message talking about how he was in pain and going to the hospital and asking fans to pray for him, but not to tell anybody saying he didn't want it to get out to any websites or anything. Yeah right.

Katt Competing With DMX for Most Mugshots in One Year

Last week Rhymes With Snitch reported on a rumor that Katt Williams had been arrested on drug possession charges. RWS-ers know this was days before his arrest at an Atlanta area Walmart [click here if you missed that]. Anyway, turns out the arrest I'd heard about had something to do with bail jumping not drug possession. The bondsman who posted bail for Katt to be released on last months burglary charge [click here if you missed that] had him hauled in for non-payment or something, and the whole Walmart thing? Katt was never really arrested in that incident. What had happened was, the cops were called and Katt was handcuffed and questioned in the cop car. He was never booked.

I Heard

the real reason Tiger Woods' wife kicked his ass was because he has a little tiger on the way. We'd been hearing for years that Tiger was a Cheetah, just never had any proof. And in case you missed it, over the weekend at least SIX NINE women came forward blabbing about their affairs with Tiger. Anyway, as with any baby news, time will tell.

Run That By Me Again?

Orlando Jones filed a police report [and insurance claim no doubt] because someone stole $48,000.00 worth of jewelery from the glove compartment of his car. Orlando filed the report with LAPD claiming he'd left the jewels in his glove box for SEVERAL WEEKS and when he went to retrieve them last Thursday they were gone.

Destiny's Child Reunion Narrowly Averted

Tough luck Destiny's Child Fans: There was almost a DC reunion but the case got settled out of court. All three Destiny's Child members were expected to testify in a Chicago courtroom next week in a copy-write infringement suit filed by songwriter Rickey Allen. Rick filed suit against DC back in 2006 charging they'd ripped him off for their 2004 hit Cater 2 U, which credited Beyonce, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams as its writers.

Proof Rihanna Hasn't Sold Her Soul to the Devil

Her new cd Rated R is only projected to move 55k in it's second week of release.  I'm just saying: If she sold her soul for record sales she got ripped off.
