Sheree Whitfield Confirms Leaving ‘The Real Housewives Of Atlanta’

2012-04-19T19:29:00.000-05:00

“After four solid seasons of helping Bravo build the show into its most successful Housewives franchise, I have decided to leave. The direction the show is going in is no longer a fit for my lifestyle. I’m tired of the fighting and the cattiness. I want to be part of something that empowers and inspires women to not only be healthy, but to treat themselves with respect. I wish the rest of the women the best of luck. I’m thrilled to say I’m now a free agent and am already fielding offers.”

~~That's BS...just say they fired your boring, snobbish, hating ass!~~

Diddy Makes Top of Forbes List

2012-04-17T19:04:00.000-05:00

Bad Boy Records HNIC netted $550 million last year, putting him one step closer to becoming hip-hop's first billionaire. Among the business collaborations fattening his pockets include his partnership with Ciroc vodka, his Sean Jean clothing line, and the Blue Fame marketing agency. The 42-year-old is also planning to follow in the footsteps of Oprah Winfrey, by launching his own network next year, which likely keep him on the Forbes' list for years to come.

Coming in second place on the list was Jay who earned an impressive $460 million, due in part to his successful 'Watch the Throne Tour,' which will head overseas this summer. Next was the current king of holograms, Dr. Dre with $270 million, followed by Birdman who made $125 million last year.

and Rounding out the Top 5 is 50 Cent making just $100 Million, despite not dropping a single album in over two years

Rihanna's Brother Speaks

2012-04-13T21:11:00.002-05:00

“Rihanna and Chris were great together, they were like soul mates, but it’s a very sensitive subject – I just blank it out and I think she blanks it out, too.”

“Rihanna doesn’t have a boyfriend right now. Drake and Rihanna used to be together – and he’s a pretty cool dude. ‘I was in a club in LA, and he saw me and came over. I was nearly his brother-in-law, but I didn’t know him so well, so I was touched by that.”

Jersey Shore's Pauly D sued...but wait just how much $$$ does he make???

2012-04-12T20:02:00.000-05:00

According to ICM, the agency negotiated increasingly large fees for DelVecchio as the popularity of "Jersey Shore" ballooned, in exchange for 10 percent of DelVecchio's gross compensation. The suit says that the agreement worked out until season 4 of the show, when DelVecchio stopped paying the commission, the suit alleges.

The suit also claims that, for Season 4 of "Jersey Shore," Pauly D's compensation was $100,000 for each of the 12 episodes, plus a $400,000 signing bonus, adding up to a cool $1.6 million -- and that's not including compensation for after-shows, a launch special, reunion show, merchandising and other compensation. (According to the complaint, DelVecchio received $200,000 as a "thank you" bonus for Season 4.)
And it gets even richer. ICM claims that for the upcoming Season 6 of "Jersey Shore," DelVecchio will rake in $175,000 for each of 12 episodes -- making for a total of $2.1 million. And again, that's not including after-shows, etc.

Morgan Freeman I'm NOT Getting Married to My Step-Granddaughter O_o

2012-04-12T19:40:00.000-05:00

In his statement, Freeman says, "The recent reports of any pending marriage or romantic relationship of me to anyone are defamatory fabrications from the tabloid media designed to sell papers. What is even more alarming is that these fabrications are now being picked up by the legitimate press as well."

E'Dena has also issued a statement ... saying, "These stories about me and my grandfather are not only untrue, they are also hurtful to me and my family."

For the record, E’Dena is the granddaughter of Morgan’s first wife, Jeanette Adair Bradshaw. She and Morgan are not related by blood.

More sex scandals in LA school systems!

2012-03-29T19:13:00.001-05:00

this time involving a 17-year-old high school student who allegedly was left alone with a classroom filled with 4-year-olds and then molested one of them.

It happened at Los Angeles Adventist Discoveryland -- a religious institution that operates a child day care facility
According to the suit, in October, 2011, two teachers left a 17-year-old boy from the affiliated high school alone with a room filled with very young children. The suit claims on two occasions the boy targeted a 4-year-old girl while she was napping on a cot, stuck his hand down her underpants and penetrated her anus with his finger. The suit goes on to allege he also rubbed and touched her vagina, telling her to be quiet and close her eyes.

TMZ has obtained a document showing the boy was prosecuted in the juvenile justice system earlier this year. The lawyer for the girl -- legal juggernaut Donald E. Karpel -- tells us, "I was Informed by the DA's office that the juvenile pleaded guilty to one count of rape."

He adds, "To the outrage of the family, the judge sentenced the juvenile to only home probation. This is why these acts continue to be prevalent in our schools. How do I explain to a 4-year-old her loss of innocence at the hands of another."

The suit -- which is filed on the girl's behalf -- seeks unspecified damages.

It's the latest sex scandal in the L.A. schools ... the most shocking is an elementary school teacher who allegedly spoon-fed semen to his students as part of a "tasting game."

HELP OUR KIDS GET TO ATLANTA...

2012-03-26T16:47:00.002-05:00

From the desk of :

Michelle Olson, M.S.S.W

Minority Service Coordinator
La Follette High School

To Whom It May Concern:

JoAnne Brown and I facilitate the Black Student Union (BSU) at La Follette High School and Memorial High School. We are both Minority Service Coordinators in the Madison Metropolitan School District. BSU is a voluntary program for students, meant to foster student development through academics, community service, volunteerism and self-enrichment. A program like BSU not only benefits the African American community, but our entire community.

During the 2012 spring break, BSU will be coordinating a tour of various educationally and culturally rich landmarks in Atlanta, Georgia which will focus on academic and social success. We will take students to the African American Historical sites like: Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Site, APEX Museum, and Hammonds House Museum. We will also visit the following Historical Black Colleges/Universities: Morehouse, Spellman, Clark, and Atlanta University Center. Historically, these colleges and universities have proven to be extremely valuable in the development of our youth.

We also participate in National Read Your Heart Out Day, assist with the 100 Black Men Backpacks for Success, and many other initiatives that support education and success of young people. This past Martin Luther King Day, we facilitated a community-wide Peace March for our "Peace Week". We also sold Stop the Violence Wristbands and had students at Memorial sign the Stop the Violence Pledge as well as partnered with West High School's BSU to hold a play called From Kings to Thugs to Presidents. Afterwards, BSU members facilitated workshops where they had students come up with action plans where they could take back to their schools and communities to stop violence, bullying, hate, etc. Parents and other adults convened to come up with strategies on how they can save the youth here in Dane County.

I say this to you because yes, we are asking for financial support for our Black College and Black History Tour to Atlanta, however I truly believe that our students-city wide are more than deserving of the support because they work hard to become future leaders. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Below you will see the link for the events that we did on Martin Luther King Day and pictures as well as the letter of support for Trek Bikes.

You can make a difference! A donation to BSU will assist in offsetting expenses and allow students who might not have been able to afford the trip the opportunity to participate in this educational and eye opening experience. The total of this trip will be around twenty thousand dollars so any donation would be greatly appreciated.

The Situation ENTER'S Rehab!!!

2012-03-21T20:21:00.000-05:00

"Jersey Shore" star -- aka Mike Sorrentino -- has checked into an inpatient treatment program.

A rep for the Situation just contacted TMZ to say they are not confirming that Mike is in rehab ... just that he "has spent the past several weeks at an undisclosed location for much needed rest and recuperation after his extensive production and appearance schedule."

Like most of the 'JS' crew ... Sorrentino's been on a non-stop party train since the show debuted on MTV 2 years ago -- drinking and making paid appearances at nightclubs all over the world.

Sitch makes anywhere from 15K ... up to a whopping 50k per nightclub appearance.

Nicki Minaj Covers Complex, talks break from Lil Wayne and others!

2012-03-20T19:13:00.000-05:00

"Because my goal the whole time has been for people to see me as a stand-alone artist. I came out with Young Money, the biggest hip-hop label in the world at that time. And then it was, “How do I branch away from Lil Wayne?” One of my biggest records was with Drake, “Moment 4 Life.” Even with the Super Bowl, it's Madonna's moment. I'm just sharing in that moment. It's not Nicki Minaj's moment. Nicki Minaj at the Grammys—that's my moment. I've just been constantly on this quest to stand alone."

2012-02-29T16:21:00.000-06:00

17 year old maid, Pelagia Mureya was found guilty of willful transmission of HIV after her fresh blood was found in the cereal she was feeding a child she was taking care of.

A court attendant who listened to the ordeal vomited while listening to the details of this nasty ordeal. Cops say on February 13 2012, the accused cooked porridge for the child who was headed to daycare. After preparing the porridge, Pelagia then fed the child. As the child ate the mother noticed a drop of blood in the porridge and ordered her child to stop eating.

She left court attendants numb after she was found guilty of mixing her blood with the pre-school going child’s food. She was sentenced to 12 months in prison for willful transmission of HIV. Two months were suspended on condition the accused does not commit a similar offense in the next three years.
She asked the maid where the blood came from but the maid said she didn’t know. The mother took the porridge, the victim and the accused to Gutu Rural Hospital in Zimbabwe, where it was confirmed that the blood belonged to Pelagia and that she was HIV positive!
