I just reported that Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt may be dunzo. Well Heidi told People that the rumors are not true.
She said, “I’m not moving out. I love Spencer with all my heart.”
Spencer adds, “I love my wife more now than I ever thought I could.”
As far as the end of the Hills Heidi says, “I’m so excited The Hills are finally over so I won’t be edited by anyone. This will be the first time people can truly see us for who we are.
“The Hills has told the story of struggle and of finding myself in L.A., so it’s time for me to hang up all the drama like fighting and divorce talk with Spencer and become the mogul I am.” Source
I wish those nuts the best, I’m just glad The Hills will be over.
Rapper/actor LL Cool J is pretty pissed at Sarah Palin. She’s got a new show called ‘Real American Stories’ and an ad campaign for the show used an old interview LL did to promote the series.
On the show she’ll be telling the life story of Americans including LL Cool J and country singer Toby Keith.
The promos show an interview clip LL supposedly gave her. But he says he didn’t give her anything and that the interview is two years old. He is accusing her and bosses at Fox (the show’s network) of “misrepresenting to the public.”
He wrote on his Twitter page, “Fox lifted an old interview I gave in 2008 to someone else & are misrepresenting to the public in order to promote Sarah Palin’s Show. WOW.”
Actress Mischa Barton is still riding the hot mess train. According to PageSix she was seen at Bar Barmont this past weekend looking “totally out of it.”
The source added, “A few minutes after she comes in, she runs outside and vomits everywhere. And then she went back inside and hung out for the rest of the night.” Source
Oh Mischa. I was thinking she was doing better after seeing her stirring portrayal of a pregnant crack whore on Law and Order: SVU. I guess not.

His lawyer Marc Brumer tells the Miami New Times, “He was in a pretty serious car accident. He lost a couple of teeth, he’s in pain, and he can’t speak.”
Brumer adds, “He’s (Knight) a very adept businessman. He’s a mess, but he’s sharp. Nobody likes Kanye West anymore. Even though he’s still selling millions of records, everybody’s sick of him.” Source
What does that have to do with anything Mr. Lawyer Man? Seriously, they’ll give a law degree to anydamnone.

Mariah Carey is trying to turn her life into a musical.
A source says, “Mariah secretly likes the idea of Leona Lewis playing her. Not only is she exotic, she’s the only one who they reckon would be able to tackle Mariah’s eight-octave vocal range.” Source
Um, isn’t that what Glitter was? And we all saw what happened with that tragedy.
Usher said that his song ‘Papers’ had nothing to do with his split from Man-reka because when he recorded it he had no idea his marriage would eventually crumble.
In Papers, which he wrote before filing for divorce, he sings, “I damn near lost my mama/I had been through so much drama that I turned into the man I never thought I’d be/I’m ready to sign those papers.”
He tells MTV News, “When the song was recorded, I wasn’t divorced. It was some reality in the contrast of trying to make it all work, having to balance a career and having a normal life. Coming in at six in the morning and arguing was a reality when you have those types of relationships.
“I felt that in a way, the story did touch on certain things at the time. I didn’t know how realistic it would become. I didn’t know I would become divorced… Unfortunately, it did become a reality.” Source
Jay-Z has signed “America’s Got Talent” teen, Alexis Jordan, to his Roc Nation label. We’ve gottent o know Alexis through her stint on the reality competition. Then she became an Internet success when we saw her YouTube covers.
“I thought if they didn’t love me then they wouldn’t fly me all the way out to New York,” she said, after receiving the initial call from Stargate. “I knew I had a good chance. Once I got out there we recorded a few songs and Jay-Z came to the studio. I was so excited! And the next thing I knew I was signed to StarRoc/Roc Nation.” Source
Congrats Alexis…Rihanna watch your back. Follow me on Twitter @ManifestoLo!
Jermaine Jackson has finally spoken out about the stun gun incident that supposedly took place between his son Jaafar and his nephew Blanket.
Jermaine says that Jaafar did indeed by the gun, but that he never used it while playing with his cousins.
Jermaine said, “Jaafar is a very good boy. He’s never done anything to hurt anybody.”
Jaafar said he bought it for his dad and was testing it when the Jackson family’s security took it away from him.
He said, “I tested it on a piece of paper. Then I put it back in the box that it came with and put it in the drawer. Then the security came and took it.
“The people around us said that I had it for a few days and I was chasing Blanket and Paris around the house, which is not true.”
Jermaine adds, “There’s someone in the house… that (sic) are leaking things out (to the media) and shouldn’t be.”
Jaafar adds, “They use this incident to try and say I’m a bad kid, which I’m not. I’ll never try to hurt my cousin at all.”
His father claims, “These are people who… Michael didn’t even want around when he was here… It’s time to clean house. It’s time to get rid of everything and everybody and just start anew.” Source
Um, why the hell would he buy his dad a gift like that. That just seems weird. And how did security come across it if it was put away in a drawer. Um, somethin’ in the milk ain’t clean here. Sowwy! Follow me on Twitter @ManifestoLo!
K-Fed says that he gained all that weight because he was depressed after his divorce from Britney Spears.
He said: “Anybody who goes through a divorce is obviously going to be depressed. I hit 30 years old, I stopped dancing, I’m sitting around on the couch playing with the kids here and there, getting lazier and lazier and getting fatter and fatter and fatter.
“I drank 12 to 24 cans of soda a day – not diet. That was all that I drank. That was my coffee, that was my candy – that was everything. I ate pizza and macaroni cheese. The combination of the two just added up real fast.”
After seeing pics of himself that the paparazzi had shot he had a wake up call.
He said: “That was a breaking point for me. I was in Miami, I didn’t even know paparazzi were up in the hotel – I was out at the pool with the kids. A week later I see that picture and my Mom’s telling me I’m at an unhealthy weight.” Source
Well I’m glad to see that he’s at least being proactive about it. He’s kickin’ ass on ‘Celebrity Fit Club.’
Santonio Holmes of the Pitsburgh Steelers is accused of throwing a glass in the face of a woman at Club Rain in Orlando. He says that she called him a ni@@er.
Santonio says that he tried to walk away from Anshonae Mills to avoid a fight about a VIP seat when she grabbed him by the wrist and called him a ‘fu@king ni@@er.’
He contends that he never threw anything at her, that instead it was an unknown woman in the club.
Anshonae says, however, that Santonio got in her face about the seat and it was he who threw the glass.
According to the police report, Anshonae asked if she could talk to Santonio one-on-one, to which he agreed.
The officer observed Anshonae “smiling and rubbing Holmes’ face” during the interaction. 5 Minutes later they returned and Anshonae agreed not to pursue the matter further.
That must have not meant much because she filed a civil lawsuit against Santonio last week. Source
Heidi and Spencer have reportedly broken up after just a year and a half of marriage. Spencer is alone in their home, while Heidi is staying with friends. Neither have commented on the reports but Heidi recently fired Spencer as her manager so that’s an indicator of a split. Source
I kinda feel like they need each other in order to thrive, no?
Rihanna has been forced to beef up her security after receiving letters from a crazed fan. A source says, “Matt has asked Rihanna’s team to be extra cautious since she was sent two very steamy letters. Her friends are also concerned about the situation. They spent ages talking about it when they dined at the Spanish Kitchen in West Hollywood last week. They are really worried things with this guy are going to get out of hand.”
Steamy I could handle…creepy not so much. Did he say he wanted to make love to her or watch her make love to a donkey? Just curious…I need to see these letters before homeboy si ruled to be a stalker. I consider myself an authority on crazed murderers not knowing when it’s over.
(Lo peaks out her blinds to make sure he’s not standing in the alley below.)
Lady Gaga says that she has the power to will herself to orgasm.
She said in a recent interview, “I remember the first time that I drank out of an imaginary coffee cup. That’s the very first thing they teach you. I can feel the rain, too, when it’s not raining. I don’t know if this is too much, but I can actually mentally give myself an orgasm. You know, sense memory is quite powerful.” Source
I’m convinced she just speaks for the sake of speaking. GaGa, I’m gonna tell you like I tell my boy Chris, no more talky talky, mkay?
Kelis may have just split with Nas, but she’s moved on already. The new mom, has been reportedly dating Adewale Ogunieye of the Chicago Bears for the past two months. They’ve been spotted together looking very couple-y going to the movies, and sitting in VIP at the club. Source
Interesting couple. Let’s see if she pulls an Erykah Badu and turns him nutzo with her weirdness.
So Lyfe Jennings and Raheem Devaughn decided to make themselves relevant by stirring up a little R&B beef.
Lyfe was on 103 Jamz in Norfolk when he called out Raheem for mentioning his name. The DJ told him that Raheem was in town so Lyfe challenged him to call up the station. 10 minutes after Lyfe left the studio, Raheem showed up with an entourage. He sat down and talked on air after some urging about wanting to settle things with Lyfe face to face. Source
This is sooo stupid. It’s bad enough we have to deal with hip-hop beef, but R&B cats too? Sidebar, Raheem betta watch out. Lyfe was in jail for ten years…don’t make him set your ass on fire.
Kelis was charged a reported $5K for one of her outrageous weave styles. But word is she skipped out on the bill. She got a weave at a Santa Monica salon in May of 2009 and never paid for it. The stylist who was suing her showed up to court and Kelis didn’t so the judge judged in favor of the plaintiff, awarding her the full amount. Source
I need some back story on this one. Was she just being cheap or was she unhappy with what she got. Looking at some of the nonsense I’ve seen on her head, there are probably a few styles she shouldn’t have paid for.

Folks from the set of Jada Pinkett-Smith’s show “HawthoRNe” have some gripes about husband and show producer Will being over bearing.
Execs at TNT are blaming the show’s issues on Will Smith, who is a co-producer of the show.
“He is not currently shooting a movie, so he’s been a constant on the set in recent weeks,” the network source says. “He’s been inserting his input and requesting so many changes to the script that it pushed back the production schedule tremendously and caused everything to spiral out of control. Everyone is praying for him to book a new movie so that he will go away.” Source
Well, he is a co producer so he should have at least some say, no?
Gilbert Arenas of the Washington Wizards, was able to escape jail time for his gun possession conviction. He has been ordered to spend 30 days in a halfway house, 400 hours of community service and a $5K fine.

50 Cent just made $75K for saying one word at a club appearance. He was paid the money to show up to Bamboo in Liverpool. In addition to the money, the club owners offered him free boos and two girls to chill with him in VIP all night.
A slew of people showed up to see him, thinking he might perform. But he got up once, grabbed the mic and said ‘Hey’ then sat back down.
A source said, “It was the most blinging night ever. People though 50 Cent might perform a track or two, given his massive fee, but he just greeted the crowd with ‘Hey’ and got back to his two personally requested ladies, who were lavishing booze on him.”

So I couldn’t even listen to what this song was about because I found myself mesmerized by the fact that she was walking down the street taking her damn clothes off. Then when they got to her sha-booty I was done. Did Erykah always have such a fantastic ass? I mean it’s pretty darn nice. Maybe I need to go vegan.
Anyway, she shot the video in one take, whilst walking around in downtown Dallas. There was no crew and it was shot gorilla style. So the people you see walking past her and staring are actual passersby.
Anywho, “Window Seat” is off Erykah’s new album. “New Amerykah, Part II: Return of the Ankh that comes out tomorrow.
Prince canceled a 2008 concert in Ireland days before and the promotion company in charge of the event, MCD, sued him. He settled out of court in February. But MCD took him back saying he hasn’t handed over the agreed upon settlement amount.

His probation lasts another three years and he has another 400 hours of community service left on his sentence. Source
Welcome home pal. Hopefully he’s learned his lesson.
Jay-Z supposedly just dropped Euro group, Sugababes, from his Roc Nation record label. But word is that he plans to sign former member Keisha Buchanan.
A source told The Daily Mirror newspaper: “Keisha is flying out to Los Angeles this week to record her solo album.
“Jay is serious about getting her on board. They hit it off at the BRITs after party in London.”
The source added, “Keisha will be gutted that things have not worked out so well for the band she helped create.” Source
Too bad for the Sugababes. But sweet deal for Keisha. She should be thanking her lucky stars she’s not still in the group because she could be without a label right now.
Rumors hit the net this past week that Beyonce is pregnant. But her reps say that’s totally false.
Rone report read that Bey was resting and Jay is “EXTREMELY happy to be having his first child with Bey.”
Well a publicist for her record company, Sony, told ‘Rolling Stone’ that the report is “untrue.”Source
Man, there have been so many false pregnancy reports that I wouldn’t believe she’s with child unless I saw the baby shooting out of her push box with my own eyes. Hell, I still don’t believe she and Jay are married.
Francois Cousteix, a French man who went by the online name of Hacker Croll, has been arrested for hacking into the Twitter accounts of celebs like Britney Spears, Lily Allen and President Barack Obama.
He was charged and released on bail.
Frankie claims he’s a “nice pirate,” and added, “I am not a hacker. I did not want to destroy anything.”
Jean-Yves Coquillat, state prosecutor, said: “He acted as the result of a bet. He is not a hacker in the strict sense of the word. He entered a house where the door was open.”
If convicted he faces 2 years in prison and a fine of 30,000 Euros. Source
Yea, sure it’s harmless if you’re hacking your ex-girlfriend’s account and sending out emails to all her exes saying they need to go get tested. But when you mess with Queen Cheeto and the Chief, it’s not a good look.
Rev Run made a rather surprising statement regarding his feelings on school versus money.
“Never, I don’t discourage nobody in my house,” he said. “This is an entertainment house. My daughter Angela was in college, she was like, ‘Daddy, I don’t know what to do, I’m getting straight A’s in college, but Pastries is taking off.’ I’m like, ‘Peace college, go take your butt down to the sneaker office and go get that paper…that’s your college… We’ll get back to [school], Pastries is doing millions.’” Source

Keyshia Cole was torn apart in court the other day. She was being sued by a promoter who said she blew off a performance after he paid her $15K upfront. The judge ruled against her and said that her testimony was “confused and at times nonsensical.”
He added: Cole appeared so reluctant to read certain documents while testifying, “that it appears at times that she was not literate.” He ordered her to pay almost $160k in damages. Source
That’s rude judge. And how did $15K turn into $160K. C’mon son!
O.J. Simpson, who currently resides at the Lovelock Correctional Center, has some admirers. A former inmate says that OJ is running the block and gets massages from a group of gay inmates.
“He’s really tight with ‘The Girls,’” said the source. Source
I can’t help but picture OJ sprawled out being fed grapes while the cast of Drag Race rubs him raw.
I don’t see what’s wrong with this. In fact it’s a good thing. There’s nothing better than a massage. Plus massages trump getting your sphincter violated every night, no?
Amy Winehouse has been talking about having a baby lately.
Her dad Mitch says, “She’s become so broody. She loves kids – especially all our little cousins. She’s been talking about having a baby and is now at the age where she wants to have a baby. But I can’t see her settling down with 15 children just yet.”
He added that people would be surprised to know how laid back Amy is in her personal life. “Amy’s Jewish background is full of hidden stories. No one knows that she speaks Yiddish. She has a very good grasp of the language. She also loves to make chicken soup as it helps to relax her. She loves Jewish food.” Source
Good Lord. Well God bless whatever child she and Blake spawn.
Prince owes over $500K in property taxes. Records show that he and his companies, PRN Music Corp. and Paisley Park Enterprises Inc. owe $506,000 to the state of Minnesota for tax year 2009.
He has until April 21st to file an objection to the sum he owes, otherwise “a court judgment will be entered against the properties for the unpaid tax, penalty, interest, and costs.”
But he has until May 2013 to pay the total sum before the forfeiture process begins for his properties. Source
He’s had tax issues in the past but he settled all of them. I don’t think that he’s broke. I think he’s just paying his bills fashionably late.
Eva Marcille and Lance Gross were set to marry in just 5 months and they’ve abruptly called it quits. Their reps sent an official statement to Essence Magazine saying, “Lance Gross and Eva Marcille have mutually decided to end their relationship. The split is completely amicable.”
They’ve been together for thre years and got engaged Xmas of ’08. Source
I guess it’s not a total surprise. We heard about Lance flirting with groupies and ignoring Eva during Super Bowl weekend this year. Too bad, they were a cute couple. I know there are lots of ladies out there that are going out tonight to celebrate and devise their evil plans to get their hands (and some other body parts) on Lance.
On Part 2 of The Bad Girls Club reunion, host Perez Hilton brought up Natalie’s connection to Chris Brown. She basically said she tapped it but Chris acted like he had no idea who she was. She also made the following comment on the show about Rihanna: “She’s a punk b*tch, she got her ass beat for a reason. Rihanna’s crazy.”
But on the reunion she back peddled saying: “I, as a woman don’t condone domestic violence in any way but the side that I heard from Chris Brown’s mouth is that it was ugly from both sides.”
She added that Rihanna confronted her about her statements on a night out in NYC but security broke it up before it got nasty.
Also on the show was Flo acting like an angry primate, and Amber’s boyfriend Rich proposing. Source
Jamie Foxx is working on a film adaptation of “Laverne and Shirley” which will star Jessica Biel and Jennifer Garner.
Garry Marshall, who directed the sit come will be working with Jamie on the project. He said, “Jamie and I are trying to do it. He’s writing it. It’s a whole different modern take on how they came up on the streets during difficult times.
“Laverne would be this very tough girl with a big ‘L’ tattooed on her arm. Jennifer Garner would play Laverne and Jessica Biel would play Shirley.” Source
I’m not a big fan of adapting TV for the big screen to begin with. But after ‘Powder Blue’ I’m convinced Jessica Biel shouldn’t be acting AT ALL. Sighs…
Here are there tangtastic apparitions performing ‘Naughty Girl.’ I was going to say that Light Bright was my favorite, but then I realized that he’s simply the most noticeable due to his lack of melanin. Then upon further inspection I said Mohawk was the real star, I mean, he’s got the heels so clearly…But the third time, yes I watched it three times. I said wait a minute, Do Rag has got more twirk in his back than the other two put together. Naughty girl…indeed.

We wrote about Warren Sapp being arrested during Super Bowl weekend for domestic violence a while ago. But word is that the state won’t be filing any charges against him. Apparently the woman who he supposedly beat up had a lot of inconsistencies In her story. She said that she was beaten so badly that she couldn’t walk and a stranger had to help her. Yet when surveillance videos were reviewed she appeared to be walking fine without help from anyone. Source
See, it’s chicks like this that make it hard for women who are actually abused to come forward.

Well, I met a darling man tonight at a networking event who told me that the Obama women made it to Harlem today and visited several places including the Apollo. Michelle was also very gracious as she rode by in her chauffeured car waving at passers by.
NeNe Leakes of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, and her husband Greg Leakes, have been having some issues since her son Bryson got arrested on a drug charge.
A source said, “The arrest really upset NeNe as she knows her son is hanging out with a bad crowd after he dropped out of University and started working as a club promoter in Atlanta.
“It has put pressure on her relationship with her husband Greg Leakes who is not Bryson’s real father as they both know that he’s still drinking and smoking with his buddies.
“NeNe perceives herself as a real socialite in Atlanta and she does not like the fact that Bryson’s arrest generated bad publicity for her and she is worried that he might get into more trouble in the future.
“It might make for good material for the new Housewifes series but the reality is that it has put a lot of pressure on her relationship with her husband and she’s really worried that her son is falling in with a bad crowd.”
Mary J. Blige has been pegged a diva after a recent set of requests made to the Florida Jazz Festival as well as her late arrival left organizers flabbergasted.
She showed up to the show 90 minutes late causing the show to overrun its alloted time.
A source tells the New York Daily News, “Her handlers kept saying that she would ‘go onstage when she was ready’. But it was almost midnight when she got on, which took the entire festival into overtime.”
Before even getting there she had a set of demands that angered those throwing the event. The insider said, “While she sat in her limousine, her personal guards came into the press tent to clear out the area like they were the Secret Service. They first demanded that all print and online journalists be kicked out because Mary didn’t want to take questions. They were acting like she was Michelle Obama or Queen Elizabeth. When Mary finally emerged from her car, she walked into the tent for literally two minutes wearing dark shades – even though it was night time. She struck one pose and then walked off without bothering to say a single word. Her antics were extreme and unwarranted.”
Mary! For shame! I never pegged you to be a diva. Girlfriend does some songs with sting and she thinks she’s hot stuff. Psst, you haven’t been hot since ‘Share My World.’ I’m just sayin’…
Chris Brown is at it again. He just fired up his new Twitter account like last week and he’s already engaging in tweet beef.

Dr. Conrad Murray reportedly stopped giving MJ CPR so he could have time to hide drug vials before the paramedics arrived.
Michael’s bodyguard Alberto Alvarez says that Conrad stopped administering CPR and handed him vials of drugs to put the vials in a bag.
Alberto says when he walked into the room Michael appeared to be dead. His children were present crying.
He added that the IV that he saw in Michaels leg contained a milky white substance which is consistent with Propofol. He has yet to say where the bags containing the vials went. Source
Interesting. Now the question is…when the hell are they gonna lock Conrad’s ass up?
Columbus short had been accused of knocking out Jason Hill of CSUN. The two got into a fight at an L.A. Fitness center during a basketball game and Columbus allegedly rocked dudes jaw and sent his teeth flying into the back of his throat. Folks at the facility say that there’s no surveillance cameras there so they can’t confirm or deny the attack.
Peep the vid of the aftermath below:
(Please note it’s one of the nastiest things I’ve ever seen. So if you have a weak stomach just move on to the next post.)
One, I didn’t know Columbus was so angry. Two, who knew he packed a punch like this. I wanna hear Columbus’ side of the story. Because if he really did this I hope Jason deserved this molly wopping.
Mariah was set to release her 13th album, ‘Angels Advocate,’ next month. But the remix album has been canceled.

Mariah’s rep said: “We are looking to go possibly to another studio album or Christmas album. The decision hasn’t been totally made yet. It’s a creative process that cannot be rushed.”
Rumors have been floating around that Mariah isn’t pleased with her record label, Mercury and plans to go back to Sony.
A source said: “Tongues are wagging over whether Mariah will stay at Mercury. She had all her biggest hits at Sony including ‘Hero’, ‘Dream Lover’, ‘Vision of Love’. It was where all the magic began for her.”

“Taking a tour of the Atlantic offices … This is real surreal right now, its official!” Diggy tweeted (@Diggy_Simmons). “Real thankful just takin it all in!”
He released a mixtape last year. But a video of him freestyling over Nas’ ‘Made You Look’ track made people stand up and notice him as a legitimate rapper. He’ll be joining fellow rappers T.I. and Lupe Fiasco.
Diggy’s brother JoJo is also a rapper and part of a group called Team Blackout.
“Diggy is gon take over and I’m there to support him! Family don’t compete with each other, we complete each other,” JoJo wrote on his Twitter.
Diddy was partying at Greenhouse in New York recently and sipping on his Ciroc vodka when he grabbed the mic to introduce new rapper Travis Porter. He took the opportunity to ask the patrons to buy a bottle of Ciroc from the bar.
He yelled out to the crowd:“If you’re not drinking Ciroc vodka, then you’re drinking pee pee.” Source

Isla sent an e-mail to her friends saying: “We did it – we’re married! It was the absolute best day of my life and in so many beautiful moments I missed you all so much. I thought of you as everything was happening, but Sacha and I wanted no fuss – just us!” Source
Star Jones is recuperating after having heart surgery last Wednesday. Her rep released a statement saying:
“This recent surgery is a follow-up to a thoracic surgery she had 30 years ago. The procedure was successful and she is recovering well with her family. Star is grateful for everyone’s thoughts and prayers.”
Apparently Starh had a thoracic tumor develop years ago. But her rep says she’s doing well after her surgery. Source
Well I hope she gets better. Warm wishes to you Star.
Peep Tiger’s first interview. He gave ESPN five minutes of his time and told them they could ask whatever they wanted. However, his answer to several questions was “That’s a private matter.” I think the interview can best be summed up by one of the last questions. He was asked why he married Elin. He answered, “Because I loved her.” ‘Loved’ is past tense, as in, he used to love her. That would explain why he felt it was OK to disrespect the hell out of their marriage…he doesn’t love her anymore. Got it. Follow me on Twitter @ManifestoLo!
Deelishis of Flavor of Love fame, has a bone to pick with singer Cassie.
Peep the open letter she penned recently:
Never knew so many beautiful souls could exist on FB lol. Especially women! I sincerely thank u all. Honestly my heart is fine, its not the 1st time some chick has tried to step in on our union, but this time its my daughters I worry about. I worry about what kinda world I’ve brought them into. A world where even when you’re doing your best & at your happiest, u can still be hurt & devastated. I never want them to experience that type of disappointment.
Now that I have vented and performed a few “Woosah’s”, I can carry on with my day with my beautiful children & peace of mind knowing God has always had me and will take even better care of me now. Thank u all again, be blessed and enjoy the remainder of your day….and remember Karma is So Real!
Thank u all, but I’m cool. A real one always bounce back. And to you Cassie, I especially thank you and pray that God has mercy on your soul, cause after I drop this baby I got ya a**, believe that!
Karma is real, believe that! You continue to f**k over the wrong people in life and I guarantee it will come back to destroy you and all that you attempt!
Thank u all, but I’m cool. A real one always bounce back. And to you Cassie, I thank you! Source
I believe Deelishis could snap Cassie in two without even thinking about it. She might want to hide out in one of Diddy’s lairs for a minute.

Way to rebound Reggie. Follow me on Twitter @ManifestoLo!
Rapper, The Game’s, Gmail account was hacked recently. The detailed list of his monthly expenses was leaked and totals about $52K.
On the list are his child support payments, payroll, rent, taxes, security and his mothers mortgage, his three mortgages and rent for a member of his entourage. Source
Well, when I first heard the number it sounded ridiculous. Bit since it looks like he’s supporting a whole boat load of folks its not that bad of a number. I will say that it makes my annual salary look so sad…so very sad.
SRP Records, Rihanna’s label, says that ‘Rude Boy’ will be the last single to be released from her ‘Rated R’ album. She’s currently working on a new album to be released this summer that will be a little less dark and more upbeat. Source
Maybe she’ll actually make some money off of the new one. Even though she’s gained a lot of fame, I hear that her bank account isn’t all that impressive.
Lindsay went out to Trousdale in LA and was denited entreance. When she finally got in after waiting for 15 minutes, she stayed for a minute or two and then left. After leaving she spent the rest of the night tweeting her life away.
“Last night was a private event with a guest list,” a club rep said. “The lounge is open for business on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, so any events on other nights are private.” Source
Lisa Raye opened up to Upscale magazine about her divorce and why she’s not cool with Vivica Fox and Star Jones anymore.
Peep what she said:
LISARAYE ON WHY SHE’S ATTRACTED TO POWERFUL MEN, LOVES BEING SPOILED:
“My whole life has been a fairytale. Every man that I have ever dated has always been powerful, had money and been generous to me. He (her ex-husband) was just the next in line. It was like this is how I am supposed to treated. My father was my first introduction to power. I am attracted to power. So when people always ask me why you always date a man with money, why in the hell wouldn’t I? I have my own lifestyle, it’s like, I’m not going for less than what I have. If I can’t be spoiled because he is not that generous, loving and caring, I don’t want you. Go to the next one. I can wait. I don’t know what it is not to be pampered and spoiled. I don’t even want to try it. That’s like saying to me, I’ma be broke. What do you mean? What? No. That don’t work for me. That’s not an option for me. I’ve never been that.”
LISARAYE ON HER FALLOUT WITH STAR JONES & VIVICA & WHY SHE HAS SINCE REACHED OUT TO THEM:
“Star had my damn back. She is a friend, a confidante and the b*tch is smart. I never realized it was a problem until I looked up on day and realized I hadn’t spoken to her in so long that I was like, ‘Damn, where is she?’ Then I started hearing about the little shit that Vivica was saying–that I f*cked it up for all of us–I guess black women, or whatever–and I am thinking, why wouldn’t she say these things to me? I said, ‘Well, tell her to use her own influence to get what the f*ck she wants to get!” Never did I think that anything that I was going through would affect you and your career so much. Sorry.” I have reached out to both of them and asked what happened and what is their definition of a friendship. Where are they? I know a New York Daily News article came out saying that my new reality show was about revenge and airing out our dirty laundry, but I’m too grown for all of that. I would never tell any of my friends’ business, even if we aren’t friends anymore. There is no interest for me in that.”
LISARAYE ON WHY SHE HOLDS NO HARD FEELINGS TOWARD HER EX-HUSBAND:
“I don’t feel bad about any of it. I was the famous face attached to Turks & Caicos that made [the marriage] what it was. That has helped his country. I believe that he cared about his country and he was a great leader for them. He brought a lot of money to that country and a lot of awareness. We both did. I am proud of that, very proud. Now, did he want his legacy to end his way? No! But I would get married again because I am a fan of love, I am a fan of a partnership, and it is much easier to fight this thing called life with someone by your side.” Source
Sooo, can she speak at all without cursing? She talks about being grown, and while that may be true, she surely doesn’t sound classy.
Naomi Campbell was at Barney’s in New York when paps came into the store and started flashing pictures. She became irate, not having any makeup on, so she started yelling at the employees because the paparazzi got in. She was overheard saying, “I’ll never shop here again!” Then, she tried to hide her face with a shopping bag as she left the store. Source
She needs to be looked up. It’s only a matter of time before she graduates from throwing cell phones and slapping people in the head to stabbing someone with a stiletto.
Sean “Beady Eyes and Unfortunate Teeth (Thank God He Got Them Fixed) Combs, is trying to buy a Brit soccer team.
A source said, “Diddy was in London meeting football fixers a couple of weeks ago. The finance is in place, he’s just deciding who he thinks he’ll make a bid for. Portsmouth – who are also in severe debt – were mentioned but he thought Palace were a better idea. He could cover their debt and bankroll a return to the Premier League. He liked the name as well.” Source
Way to flaunt your bank account. I wonder if he even likes soccer.
OK, so he’s pissed at her for showing up somewhere and possibly causing him to get caught. BUT he’s texting her about her bing his whore and peeing on her. Really dude? Dumb, just dumb.
Ciara seems to be reeling int the ballers. Nuggets player, Arron Afflalo was flirting withher over twitter after she went to a Nuggets game last month. Now Brandon Jennings of the Milwaukee Bucks is telling GQ that he’s head over heels for her.
Here’s what he’s planned for their first date:
He’ll fly her out to Milwaukee to watch one of his games. Then they’ll go downtown to eat at Carnivore, one of his favorite spots, After that maybe they’ll go to a movie since he’s not 21 yet and can’t get into any clubs.
“We don’t have to be in a rush,” he says. “we can take it step-by-step. Let’s just hand out, have fun, and see what happens.” Source
I find this a bit creepy. But anything goes in Hollyweird.
Lady Gaga is being sued for $30.5 million by a former flame and producer who says that he helped her write songs, and is responsible for shaping her image before she got famous.
Rob Fusari, says that he not only came up with her name and sound but co-wrote a bunch of her hits like ‘Paparazzi’ and ‘Beautiful, Dirty, Rich.’
He says that when they joined Team Love Child LLC to promote her career they became romantically involved and he feels he should get a 20% share of royalties and 15% of merchandising. In addition he says that he introduced her to a record company big wig at Interscope Records, where she was eventually signed.
Gaga said: “I was Gaga from the time that I was 19 through my first record deal. I always dressed like that before people knew me as Lady Gaga. I was always that way. I stuck out like a sore thumb.”
Rob says he’s gotten a total of $611,000 for his contributions but thinks he deserves more. Source
See, she’s been hanging out with Bey for like five minutes and already she’s got two swiping infractions against her.
Janet Jackson says that it was anger over the death of her brother Michael that helped her film a scene for her new movie, “Why Did I Get Married Too?”.
In the scene she has to smash up furniture with a golf club.
She says, “You have to dig deep but there was some stuff that was right there for me. Stuff that had just happened, with my brother passing, and also relationships, experiencing exactly that.” Source
She not only lost her brother but lost a boyfriend shortly after. Good for her for finding a productive way to channel that emotion.

J-Lo is working her magic. She just landed a deal where she’ll be playing Goldie Hawn’s role in a remake of the 1987 film, “Overboard.” Will Smith will be producing the flick. Source
I veto this idea. “Overboard” was a piece of 80′s cult genius. Why mess with perfection.
I posted an interview that Neon magazine had with Beyonce last week. And they’re copping to fudging most of what they printed.
The statement from NEON reads:
We do have serious doubts in the truth of many statements of the interview of Ms. Beyonce Knowles published in NEON, Issue January 2010.
The Article was written by the freelancer Ingo Mocek. The Editors-in-Cheif have confronted Ingo Mocek with these doubts. Ingo Mocek was not able to verify certain statements, particularly the statement regarding a marriage contract of Ms. Knowles. Therefore, we assume that the interview did not take place as claimed by Ingo Mocek. Source
Fail! I knew that didn’t sound like Bey. Follow me on Twitter @ManifestoLo!
Sandra Bullock just moved out of her home after finding out about her husband being a cheating chester. Now her hubby, Jesse James has issued an apology to her. He said in a statement:
“There is only one person to blame for this whole situation, and that is me. It’s because of my poor judgment that I deserve everything bad that is coming my way. This has caused my wife and kids pain and embarrassment beyond comprehension and I am extremely saddened to have brought this on them. I am truly very sorry for the grief I have caused them. I hope one day they can find it in their hearts to forgive me.” Source
Yea, yea, yea. Just shut up. It doesn’t mean you’re not still a cheating bastard. See that figure on the horizon, it’s Sandy walking away from you. Peace!
Hoopz, of Flavor of Love fame, has her heights set on a new recording artist. She’s into French Montana of Konvict Muzik. The two met a few weeks ago at a party in NYC and exchanged numbers. Source
I don’t know who he is, but that doesn’t really mean anything. Good luck with that…I guess.
Darius McCrary has filed for divorce from Karrine “Superhead” Steffans. The two have been married for just shy of a year. Word is that he sent Karrine the divorce papers along with a bouquet of flowers.
“I will always love Karrine and her son, but we are not good together. It was just time for us to go our separate ways,” he said.
Karrine says he cheated. “He cheated on me. You can’t cover that up with a bouquet of flowers.”
This isn’t the last we’re gonna hear from Karrine. She scored her own show on Fox. She’s going to co-executive produce a show loosely based on her life and her book “The Vixen Manual.”
“Naturally, I am overjoyed to be working with Fox Studios in bringing the ideals of ‘The Vixen Manual’ and a version of my life to the small screen. I look forward to my future in television and film as a force behind the scenes,” she previous to the news of her divorce broke. Source
Oh wow…this is just. Just wrong. Not the divorce, of course. That was expected…and necessary. The show however, the show is a problem.
Sandra Bullock has moved out of the home she keeps with husband Jesse James amid news of him cheating on her with a tattoo model, Michelle “Bombshell” McGee.
She even canceled her appearance at “The Blind Side” premiere in London stating
“Due to unforeseen personal reasons a trip abroad to supportThe Blindside has been deemed impossible at this time. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and thank you for your continued support of the film.”
She apparently moved out a few days before news of his affair surfaced. Sandra recently gushed over her husbat the Golden Globes and had been very involved in his custody battle for his daughter Sunny James. Source
Sucks. Well at least she’s finding out while she’s on top so she doesn’t ever have to date down again.
Comedienne/actress Nicole Sullivan is showing off her new body after losing 35lbs with Jenny Craig. And she did it in just 16 weeks.
“I am beyond thrilled with my success on the Jenny Craig program,” she said. “After having Beckett, I dreamed of a day where I’d feel comfortable enough in a swimsuit, let alone a bikini, to join my husband on pool-side play dates. Getting into a bikini again and feeling as good as I feel now.”
The best thing about dropping the weight? “[Now] my two children will always see Mommy as healthy! And my husband Jason can’t be more thrilled; he’s lost 25 pounds of ‘sympathy weight’ to boot.”
“I went in and bought a pair of size 4 pants and I don’t ever remember doing that — maybe when I was 21 [years-old]. I feel like the world has opened up to me. Does a lot of it have to do with fun clothes? Yeah, but you know what? Women love fun clothes. It’s a big deal to us. I feel like I can wear anything in my closet. And I can buy stuff that’s really cute.” Source
I totally feel what she’s saying about buying clothes. I’m currently in a clothes crisis and fighting the urge to run out of fitting rooms crying. Good job Nicole. (Whispers: She does look a little drawn in the face, no?)
