O.J. Simpson collapsed in prison after experiencing stroke like symptoms.
He was talking with some of his fellow inmates when his speech became slurred. Then he slumped over and fell off his chair, complaining of double vision and weakness in his arms.
A source says, “His buddies were sure he suffered a stroke. The guards were so concerned they sounded the alarm and carried O.J. to his bunk while a doctor rushed from the prison hospital to help him.”
After monitoring him for several days, prison doctors determined O.J. did not suffer a stroke, but rather a serious pre-stroke condition called a Transient Ischemic Attack, which mimics an actual stroke. They warned him he needed to change his eating and exercise habits immediately. He’s gained 50 pounds since entering prison.
“O.J. told a close friend, ‘I plan on living long enough to walk out of this prison one day. I’m taking this for real – I’m going to get in shape,’” the source said. Source
I don’t know why I’m thinking of this scene:
Except O.J. is mister and Nicole Brown Simpson is Celie. She put ghost roots on his ass the second he was acquitted of her murder. #Truth

When asked if Kanye would be making a couple of cameos this season Kim said, YES! “I want to show my life. If we are having dinner and he does show up, I’m sure we’re not going to go, ‘Stop the cameras!’

You can only apologize so much. I generally like Tami. But she is aware of her anger problem AND the fact that when she drinks she acts extra ratchet. I’m sorry, but ‘I’m sorry’ just isn’t enough.

”I get in bed and it must have been two hours in before my phone started going off. I was so frustrated I kept ignoring the phone.
”I know I’m sick but I’m the only person who can get it done so it was so frustrating so I was angry. I was so angry, I was so overwhelmed that I was sick, it felt crazy. ‘I started crying really, really hard in my pillow. It was aggressive. I don’t cry loads. If I cry it’s because I’m very angry and I can’t do anything about it, because I’ve run into a dead end. But this time I needed to hear it, I almost wanted to punch somebody.” Source
Admitting you have a problem is the first step. Hopefully she will lay her ass down somewhere and take a God damned break.

Am I the only tween who was trying to perfect the ‘I Wanna Be Down’ hand/arm dance? I don’t know why I asked that because I know I’m not. This song introduced a uber young Brandy to us. But if you were like me you were saying, ‘Hey, isn’t that the girl from Thea?’ Anywho, Brandy is a grown woman like the rest of us and it so nice to see how much she’s grown from this.
We heard recently that Andre 3000 was on his way to start filming a Jimi Hnedrix bio-pic. But Jimi’s estate is trying to shut it down.
They released a statement saying:
“Various media outlets have recently published accounts that indicate a feature-length Jimi Hendrix biographical film is nearing production.
“Experience Hendrix CEO Janie Hendrix, sister of Jimi Hendrix, and the EH board have not ruled out a ‘biopic’ in the future though producing partners would, out of necessity, have to involve the company from the inception of any such film project if it is to include original Jimi Hendrix music or compositions.” Source
Halle Berry went nuts on the paparazzi the other day. They were in front of her daughter Nahla’s school, as they are every day, and she had enough. So she went HAM. Source
I’m not mad at her. You can only take so much. She’s famous so if they want to follow her around, just her, that’s one thing. But leave the kiddies out of this.

Every industry n***a done had her
Shook the tree like a pumpkin just to smash her
Bitch is breaking codes, but I’m the password.”
Rihanna immediately unfollowed him on Twitter. Rumors of the two getting back together had been thick in recent months.
She then tweeted, “Aw, poor dat #neaux1currrrr”
He responded with:
Assumptions! I didn’t say any names so if u took offense to it then its something you feel guilty about. Source
He knows good and well he was talking about her. Even though I thought it was a bad idea for her to be so chummy with him. He should have been thankful that she was willing to forgive him for beating the bricks off of her. Oh well, so much for that.

John Travolta is being sued by not one, but two masseurs.
The second masseur claims that during a deep tissue massage, Travolta started jerking off.
He said, “Sweat was pouring down Travolta’s neck, and he asked Plaintiff again to say something nice to him.”
This second plaintiff claims that he asked a co-worker to take the in-room massage but the co-worker refused because “Travolta has been banned from a spa that the coworker used to work at in Los Angeles.” And after the masseur was assaulted, he complained to his bosses “to no avail” and Travolta even demanded that the masseur come back and “finish” – which the masseur refused.
His lawyer says, “The problem in America is anyone can sue anyone. However, in this case this unidentified plaintiff and his lawyer will regret they filed this fabricated suit. We intend to sue both of them for malicious prosecution.” Yeah… this is no longer “funny stories about gay spa sex.” These are stories about Travolta physically assaulting men and everyone turning a blind eye. If the stories are true, I hope Travolta has to pay out, big time. If the stories aren’t true, I hope he can defend himself in court. Source
Mariah Carey and her husband, Nick Cannon, have a new project. The pair is developing a cartoon.

”Oh yeah, it’s just something that we both enjoy, and even more so than that, we’re both kids at heart. So we love those types of stories and fantasy/fairytale type of stuff.’
”I mean it’s one of those things where a lot of the stuff I’m going to be doing in the near future is going to be really family-driven just because of the fact being a father and wanting to be able to provide content for my kids.
”So it works out really good. It makes you proud when you can have some work that your kids can go see.” Source
Good for them. I love to see couples who can work together.
Kim Kardashian was mysteriously absent from this year’s Met Gala and it had tongues wagging. Well it appears that she wasn’t there because Anna Wintour of Vogue, vetoed her presence.

“The Met Gala is $25,000 a ticket, but Kim can’t even buy her way in, Anna Wintour does NOT want her there!” the source says.
“Kim and her camp will deny that she wasn’t invited by saying that she had business in L.A., but that is a lie,” the source says. “She would of done anything to be there with all the A-listers.” Source
Former football player Keyshawn Johnson, let a photog into his gated community and the paparazzo used the opportunity to spy on the Kardashians who also live in the neighborhood.
The Kardashians were shooting their reality show yesterday when they noticed a Dodge sedan parked near the. At the end of the shoot, the three eldest Kardashians walked past the Dodge, and the person inside poked a camera out the window and started shooting. They confronted him, saying he was shooting in a private, gated community, and the guy began apologizing.
Kourtney called the cops and The Oaks community security determined he had a pass to get into the community by another resident — Keyshawn Johnson.
Security told Kourtney that Keyshawn would be fined $1,000 for letting the guy in.
Keyshawn says he did approve a pass for the guy, but only to make a delivery to his home. Keyshawn says he went to Kourtney’s house later that day to apologize. Source
That’s just why I NEVER let folks into my building I don’t know. You never know who’s got stalkers. I refuse to have any bodies on my conscience.

Who knew she was so crazy? I need her to lock it up so she can get her kids back.
Didn’t he drunkenly beat up a bus driver not that long ago? I may have the facts all wrong but I’m pretty sure I remember some ridiculous behavior like that.
He said, “I just finished high school…I passed my test – I’m free! It was hard doing school and work every day….That was something my mom really wanted me to do, so I had to do it for her…I mean, this kind of lifestyle has given me a different perspective on life. I’ve been able to travel the world. At school, usually you have to do a lot of writing and reading. I’m really not into that stuff. I like to be out there.” Source
He didn’t have to graduate. If he plays his cards and his money right he’ll never have to work again. So the fact that he wanted to accomplish this is great. Beyonce, please take note.

“I agree with what Mr. Beslow says and join in the agreement,” added Pinault’s lawyer, David Aronson. Source
I don’t understand why anyone needs that much money. But I’m guessing since this dude is crazy rich she was trying to get as much as possible. Also, he was kinda a douche to her. So I’m sure that factored into the whole thing.
Rihanna didn’t show up for her rehearsal for her SNL appearance this past weekend. Her rep said she “was sick, so she needed to save her voice for the live show.”

“I was playing in my mother’s makeup. I had blue eye shadow and red lips, and I put crazy blush on. I looked like a clown, but I thought I was so beautiful.”
Beyoncé learned a lot about beauty growing up in her mom’s beauty salon. “I like to experiment [with my hair. I love playing around with highlights or bleaching the tips. I can cut and style my own hair.”
She hopes to instill in her daughter healthy beauty lessons. “My biggest thing is to teach [Blue] not to focus on the aesthetic. It’s really about who you are, and the human being, that makes you beautiful.” Source
Meh, I want to believe this but doesn’t this chick have a glam squad that primps her on a daily basis? I just can’t picture her cuttin her own hair…and by own hair I mean wigs.

“He told her that he had met someone else and she had to get out, right then and there. She gathered what she could and left and then lived out of her car for months and stayed on friends’ couches whenever she could.”
Back in January he told Melissa she could move back in and stay in the apartment until the lease expired in July while he went out of state.
But last week he told her she was going to have to move out, immediately!
“Today he just showed up at the apartment with a moving truck — just out the blue — and moved all of the furniture and everything out of the home,” the source revealed.
“He hardly even said a word to her. He just ignored her and helped the movers get everything out. When she asked him what she was supposed to do or where she was meant to go he was just cold and said, ‘I don’t know.’
“Melissa doesn’t have any family there. She just knows the other football wives and girlfriends so it’s complicated. He had totally given her the impression that they were going to get back together.” Source

There were reports last month that Kanye West had been abusive to his ex-fiance, Alexis Phifer. Well Kanye has chosen to speak out via a nre remix to Chief Keef’s, “I Don’t Like.”
He rhymed, “They smile in my face is what I don’t like / They steal your whole sound, that’s a soundbite/ The media crucify me like they did Christ / They wanna find me not breathin’ like they found Mike /A girl’ll run her mouth only outta spite / But I’ll never hit a woman, never in my life.” Source
What do you guys think? Who’s lying? Kanye or Alexis?

He said,“This is my best body of work yet.”
He also announced that singer Omarion has joined Rick’s Mayback Music Gang.
Omarion said, “Today I become a made man. Omarion aka Maybach O.”
Rick said of Omarion, “I ran into the homie, we had a few conversations and I flew him down to Miami and he played me a dozen records. I was amazed by the music he put together. We had a few conversations and we made a situation happen. He’s a phenomenal entertainer. His dancing is incredible. He’s an actor, he’s a writer. I thought it would be a great move for both of us. I’ve been looking to enter the R&B arena, I felt he was the best artist to kick the doors open.” Source
Former football star, Junior Seau, was found dead in his home, the victim of a gunshot wound to the chest.
Prior to the shooting Junior texted his ex-wife and three children saying, “Love you.”
His body was initially discovered by his girlfriend. When police arrived on the scene, they found him in his bed room with a gunshot to the chest and the gun next to his body. He was pronounced dead on the scene. They believe this was a suicide.
This isn’t the first time junior has been the victim of his own destructive behavior. In 2010 he survived a car crash after driving his car off a cliff hours after being arrested for allegedly attacking his girlfiiend. He later said he wasn’t trying to commit suicide, but fell asleep at the wheel. Source
This is so sad. I wonder why he was so troubled. Condolences go out to his family, friends and fans.

A source says, “Kim thinks Kanye would make a perfect baby daddy.
“Kim has been friends with Kanye for almost a decade, so she knows him so well. Now, both are ready for a serious romance.
“Kim will be 32 this year and always envisioned she’d be a mom by now. And Kanye’s 34. He’s said one of his goals is to be a dad, and he’s heavily involved with a foster-care program. He loves kids. She has no doubts he’ll make a great father.” Source
Oh Christ, these two are the last two people on earth who need to bring a child in the world…especially together.

The chair of Barry University’s Organizational Learning and Leadership and Human Resource Development program tells “[Shaq] is a very impressive guy, very inquisitive, and it’s a pleasure to have him as a student.

Atlanta based Bounce TV has it’s first scripted series, ‘Family Time’, starring Omar Gooding and Angell Conwell.
The show is produced by the same people who did ‘Martin’ and ‘The Jamie Foxx Show.’ It follows a married couple with two kids who move to the suburbs after winning a scratchoff lottery ticket. Source
I don’t know where (besides ATL) this show is available. But if your cable company offers it, will you be watching?
Amber Riley of Glee fame was at the Television Academy of Arts and Sciences event and collapsed on the red-carpet.
She says that she became “dizzy” from the flashbulbs. Soon after the incident, she tweeted, “Hey guys, I’m okay I got a little dizzy from all the photog flashes! You’d think I’s be used to it by now, still a red carpet amateur I guess. Gonna get checked out but I feel fine. Thank you for all the concern and well wishes”. Source
Hmm that’s an odd reason to pass out. But whatevs. I better not hear anything about some crash dieting later on.
Monday night the staging area collapsed during a concert featuring Fabolous, Waka Flocka and Wale. They were performing at Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC and when all of their entourages gathered backstage, the staging area buckled and a ramp collapsed.
A source said there more than 400 people packed the backstage area, adding “(There were) 12 dudes (on the ramp) that weighed 300 pounds each and an extra 100 pounds for all of their bling jewellery… Those rappers need to be less co-dependent and only require 10 friends on stage – not 200.”
DJ Big Mike The Ruler tweeted, “The mini stage collapsed last nite (sic) at Hammerstein. I know sumbodys (sic) neck hurts this morning. $$$$” Source
I’m in agreement with the source. How senseless is that. Someone coulda been killed.
Tyler Perry’s studio complex in Atlanta went up in flames yesterday and over a hundred firefighters were called to the scene.
Fire Captain Jolyon Bundridge said, “As far as I know, [Perry] is OK — there was a report that he was on the scene, but I didn’t see him.
The complex includes a 200,000 square-foot studio, five sound stages and a 400 seat theater. No injuries were reported. Source
Glad to hear the fire didn’t get too out of control and no one was hurt. Although, I feel like Tyler has enough money to rebuild the complex four times over.
J-Lo’s relationship with boyfriend Casper Smart is causing some issues. Some of his family who are receiving money and gifts as a product of the relationship are all for it. But the ones who aren’t are really pissed.
A source said, “Some people in the family are dirt poor and they feel like they’re being ignored. J.Lo has made sure that when she and Casper have been on trips together, most recently to Acapulco, he’s brought back presents for his mom, his twin sisters, some cousins and a few other people. “The people who have been left out are jealous, and it’s created a big family feud.
“They want him to propose before she changes her mind.”
He already has the engagement ring, an heirloom that belonged to his grandmother.
“She passed away about 12 years and her ring has tremendous sentimental value to Casper,” said the insider. “He believes that Jennifer will be touched by it, even though he doesn’t have the type of money that Marc Anthony had to impress her with expensive jewelry.” Source
I understand they’re poor. But the money she gives him is his to dole out however he wants. So if they’re not getting anything then he obviously has chosen not to share. And that’s his God damned business.
Azealia Banks will be performing at the Costume Institute Gala next Monday at the Met. But sources say she wasn’t the first choice. Organizers wanted Nicki Minaj, but since she never signed the contract they had to scramble to get someone.

The Letoya News Network, one of Letoya Luckett’s biggest fan sites, shut down the other day.
In the final post by site administrator Common, she’s blamed for ignoring her fans.
Peep “Dear Letoya” below:
“Most artists would kill to have a fanbase like yours. I don’t understand this reluctance to communicate with your fans. Break the barrier already! STOP this secrecy. You have (had?) DIE HARD fans, not every artist has that. But for some reason it feels like you neither respect nor appreciate them. You make us feel like we’re trash, like we don’t count. You have said hurtful things to fans I won’t mention here. You shouldn’t forget that you’re on our payroll and that without us fans there wouldn’t be a LeToya.”
You don’t understand how the new music industry works. Your mindset is still very old school. You always leave fans in the dark. As a result you’re losing them by the minute….
I absolutely don’t give a F about Smooth Touch, I don’t care about Gospel plays, I don’t care about any of the acting. I wanted MUSIC and most importantly for some unknown reason I wanted to witness you being successful at it. It’s not just that I want to have more tracks from you. It’s that I want to see you enjoy success like a Drake or a Keri Hilson because I know you deserve it so much….
Anyway when your album comes out, if ever, I’ll definitely download it on rapidshare. I’ll enjoy it but no more me buying hundreds of them and selling them around for you…
You just lost one of your greatest stan. PS: If you don’t address this, it will be the proof to me that you don’t give a damn about your fans. Source
No tea no shade. Too bad, so sad. And the church said Amen.
Amber Rose is getting sick and tired of being called a ho.
She said in a recent interview, “If I want to wear a short skirt I can, and I expect to not be disrespected because I want to feel and dress sexy and not be called a whore. Every woman has the right to dress as she pleases and not be judged by her wardrobe choices, and I support all women doing their thing, whether in high heels and a mini skirt or sweats and sneakers.” Source
I’m not saying she’s a hoe. But I’m pretty sure how she dresses is the last reason why anyone would call her a hoe. #Don’tShootTheMessenger
Bobby Brown sat down for his first interview since Whitney’s death, with Matt Lauer of the Today Show.
He wants to make it clear that he was not responsible for Whit’s demise.
He said, “I didn’t get high [on narcotics] before I met Whitney. I smoked weed, I drank the beer, but no, I wasn’t the one that got Whitney on drugs at all… drugs were a part of her life “way before” [we] got together. “It’s just … it’s just unexplainable how one could, you know, [say that I] got her addicted to drugs. I’m not the reason she’s gone.”
He also admits his reality show ‘Being Bobby Brown’ was the last straw in their marriage, “We looked at the bubble and saw ourselves. We was able to see what other people were saying about us, you know? We was able to see that our drug use had affected our relationship, had affected the love that we felt for each other.” Source
I feel bad for Bobby. Sure he’s got his own demons to deal with and has for a long time. But ultimately Whitney was responsible for taking care of herself. Something she obviously didn’t do very well.
Amare Stoudemire of the NY Knicks had a hissy fit after his team lost to the Miami heat. He injured himself punching a fire extinguisher case cutting his hand.

Nadya Suleman has been in the news off and on for the past few years following the birth of her octuplets adding to her brood of already 6 children. Most recently we’ve been abuzz about her money issues. She recently admitted to receiving public assistance. Then she took semi nude photos for a foreign mag. Then earlier this week she filed for bankruptcy.
She said in a statement, “I have had to make some very difficult decisions this year, and filing Chapter 7 was one of them. But I have to do what is best for my children, and I need a fresh start.”
Well now, TMZ is reporting that nadya has agreed to appear in adult movies, going in complete opposition to earlier statements to never appear in such films.
She said, “If it’s a job, and it’s a well-paying job, and it’s gonna allow me to get out of here and move [my kids] into a very safe, huge home that they deserve … I’m gonna do it.” Source
I feel sorry for her. Don’t bite my head off just yet. Sure she’s at fault. But so are we. Think about it. It’s very clear that this woman is extremely disturbed. The doctor who agreed to inseminate her, the press that exploits her and the public that vilifies her, are all at fault here. Someone needs to step in and give this woman the therapy she needs. It’s the only way to help her be a decent mother to all 14 of her children.
Recently Royce Reed of ‘Basketball Wives’ fame was publicly embarrassed when her man, football player Dezmond Briscoe, admitted on Twitter to sending sexy texts to his baby mama.
Well Royce initially broke up with him. But could a reconciliation be on the horizon.

More Details…
Kris Jenner is trying her darndest to get Bey and Jay to appear on her Kardashian reality show.
A source says, “One of the main reasons she so approves of Kim and Kanye’s romance, is the fact that Kayne has tons of celebrity friends.
“Kris has her ways, and it wouldn’t surprise me if the cameras capture Kim and Kanye on a double date with Beyonce and Jay-Z.”
Another source says, “Kris wants to convince Beyonce to bring Baby Blue on and make it her first-ever TV appearance!
“She thinks it would be cute to have a segment of Beyonce and Kim talking about babies.”
“Kris is also doing her best to convince Kayne to arrange the double date. Believe me, it’s hard to say no to Kris!” the source reveals.
“Beyoncé doesn’t want the kind of celebrity that Kim Kardashian has nailed down as her own thing,” a source told Hollywoodlife.com exclusively.
“Beyoncé doesn’t want to bring that reality show infamy and drama into a personal life that Beyoncé has tried to keep close to her.” Source
There’s no way in hell Kris is gonna get them to pimp their baby out like she pimps out all her kids…no way.
60. Bey calls fake pregnancy rumors ridiculous.
More Details…
Through Bey’s entire pregnancy there was speculation that Beyonce wasn’t actually pregnant. Well she’s finally speaking out about the allegations calling them stupid.
She said, “That was crazy. It wasn’t hurtful, it was just crazy.” “[I thought] ‘Where did they come up with this?’”
Her mom, Tina Knowles. felt the rumors were especially cruel explaining, “I thought it was very unfair and very cruel that someone would think that someone would be that diabolical to keep up a charade like that for nine months.
”As a mother it was painful for me to hear the crazy rumors. And I even had people ask me, which was so ridiculous.”
“It was a fabric that folded — does fabric not fold? Oh my gosh, so stupid.” Source
The rumors do sound really crazy. But if anyone could pull that off it would be Bey…I’m just sayin.
