Rapper Nas and his wife R&B singer Kelis are going through marital problems.  In fact, word is they are getting divorced.  Kelis filed for divorce from Nas.

What’s weird about this divorce is the fact that Kelis is seven months pregnant with the couple’s first child.  Nas has a 15-year-old daughter from a previous relationship. 

According to reports, bad business deals and infidelity played a factor in her decision to file for divorce.  It doesn’t surprise me that infidelity might have played a part in the divorce.  There’s no way a woman would divorce her husband while she’s seven months pregnant unless something major happened.

This is not the first time Nas and Kelis were in the press about their marriage.  There were rumors circulating that the couple were heading for divorce court.  There were rumors that Nas might have been having an affair with another woman and that he and Kelis were breaking up.  Nas and Kelis denied those rumors.  I guess they were true after all.

Nas and Kelis have been married for four years.  Hopefully they will find a way to work out their problems.  It’s a shame that their marriage is over considering they are about to have their child soon. They are one more couple in the public eye that are going through a divorce.  Kelly Rutherford and her husband are getting a divorce while having a baby.  Sean Penn and Robin Wright are also going to be getting a divorce soon.  There must be something in the water to make all of these couples want to break up.

 This top celebrity makes a big deal out of talking about motherhood and how much time she spends being a good mom. She would lead you to believe that she dotes on her children and takes an active role in their lives. Not so. When the kid/s were little, she only changed about one out of every hundred diapers. The kid/s are being raised by a small army of nannies. Our star has limited contact with them except during photo opportunities, which are always staged with her carrying the child/ren, even if they are big enough to walk on their own. Why? Because she thinks that carrying a child makes her look motherly and “likable”. 

I think this blind item might be Angelina Jolie or Madonna.  They are both seen in pictures with their children. They’re both considered top celebrities.  In Angelina’s case, she is considered a great mother because she adopted so many children.  I’ve read that she has nannies for her children even though in pictures she is always seen with her children.  Madonna is my second choice because she is also photographed with her children when she most likely has nannies too.   

This 80’s Heartthrob is finding out the hard way you should never abandon your kids. When they grow up they come back to haunt you and make you look like a fool!

I think this might be R&B singer Al B. Sure!.  His son recently wrote an open letter talking about how Al abandoned him when he was a kid and he was a rotten father to him. Al’s son credits P. Diddy as being his father.  Al was also an R&B star in the 80s so he fits. If it’s not him, then maybe it’s someone from New Kids On the Block or New Edition.  They were considered 80s heartthrobs too.

This B list television and movie actor is more famous for his current television role, than any movie in which he has appeared. Filming of his show is delayed by hours everyday, because our actor refuses or is unwilling to learn his lines each day and therefore necessitates take after take after take for him to finish his scenes.

 I could be wrong about this, but I think this one could be Simon Baker from The Mentalist.  He has been in television and in movies. His TV show is probably more successful than his movies were.  Since this one is a little vague, I will guess Simon.  He is the only one I can think of who’s done TV and movies and who is known more for his television show than for his movies. 

From Panache Report 

This celebrity male is so in love with his wife and she knows it! His love is so extreme, that he will tolerate anything to stay with her and make her happy. She suggested, “To keep our marriage fresh, lets have an open marriage.” He balked and refused to cheat on her but that didn’t stop her from stepping out. Thus far, she’s only been cheating with women and he’s relived because if she ever cheated with men, he doesn’t know if he could handle it.  He considers another woman non-threatening. He’s henpecked and his pretty wife is the dominant/controlling one in the relationship, she runs him and calls the shots because she knows he loves her more than she loves him and she uses that against him. She’s also the dominant one in her sexual romps with lipstick lesbians/bi-sexual women. She’s the top in the majority of her girl/girl flings.  Over the last few years, she’s compiled a list of beautiful women she creeps with, some famous, some not so famous, but they share one thing in common: Beauty.  She’s attractive and will only sleep with other attractive women. And, they have to be feminine. When you see her and hubby pictured on blogs or in entertainment magazines, they’re all smiles, it’s sincere on his part but a facade on her part. It’s sad that she doesn’t appreciate him. Hints: Are they both black? Are they both celebrities?

 I think this might be Will Smith and Jada Pinkett – Smith or Robin Thicke and Paula Patton.  I’ve read rumors that Will and Jada have an open marriage even though she’s denied it.  There are also rumors that she is bisexual so they fit the blind item.  Since the hints make reference to the race of the couple, it might mean that this is an interracial couple. That lead me to think that the blind item could be Robin Thicke and Paula Patton.  I’m sure that there are others that could fit this blind item, but I can’t think of them right now.

This man is the patriarch of a successful entertainment dynasty. Few people know that his sister has been the mistress to a record company mogul for the last 30 years. She’s been his mistress through numerous marriages and he’s taken care of her for all of these years. He’s paid off her home, paid for her plastic surgery, credit card bills and he’s bought her numerous expensive cars. Yet, he never thought enough of her to ever marry her and she stuck it out with him, regardless. Who is the patriarch? Who is the mogul?  

This one might be an easy one. There aren’t too many patriarchs of successful dynasties around.  With that said, this is probably Joe Jackson of the famous Jackson family.  I think the music mogul is Berry Gordy founder of Motown Records.  There aren’t too many famous families in music so that makes Joe stand out to me.  Since Joe Jackson’s sons were at Berry’s label, that makes Berry Gordy stand out.  Since the affair was carrying on 30 years that would mean it started in the 70s. Motown was really popular in the 70s and it was run by Berry Gordy.

Leighton Meester Get Record Deal
Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester (Blair Waldorf) (23) has just a record deal with Universal Republic through Time-Act Music.  She is going to be releasing a CD in the fall.  She plans to work with producers Polow Da Don, Harvey Mason Jr., and Spencer Nezey.  Her CD is going to have an electro-pop edge to it.

Leighton is one more actress who got bit by the song bug.  I’ve never heard her sing before so I don’t know if she’s any good at it.  Since she’s doing music that I am not too familiar with, I probably won’t be buying her CD.  It’s going to be really hard for her to be taken seriously as a singer since she is known for acting.  Hopefully people will be able to get past Blair Waldorf and still be able to enjoy her music.  There aren’t too many successful actors-turned singers so hopefully she won’t be one of them.

Gospel Star Timothy Wright News
Gospel start Timothy Wright (61) has died.  He died last Thursday from complications following an accident that he was in last July.  His wife and grandson were killed in the accident back in July.  Timothy never fully recovered from the critical injuries he suffered after the accident.  My heart goes out to his family after losing so many members so close together.

Jay Leno Hospitalized
The Tonight Show host Jay Leno (58) was hospitalized on Thursday.  There’s no word on what caused his injuries. He had to cancel a taping because he had to be taken to the hospital.  His rep said that there is nothing seriously wrong with him. I hope that’s true and that he’s okay.

From panache report

This celebrity husband is a man of leisure.  He contributes absolutely nothing to the household he shares with his famous wife. Unbeknownst to her, while she was away working and bringing in much needed money to maintain their standard of living and lifestyle, her hubby was sleeping with her younger sister. The sister would even wear her lingerie before joining hubby in bed. The public was unaware she had a brief separation from her husband due to this indiscretion, it didn’t make headlines but she eventually took him back. But, she’s not talking to her sister, she considers her invisible yet she had no problem forgiving her husband when he lied and told her, “your sister is at fault, she seduced me.” The wife needs to cut her losses and dump him like she did her sister. They don’t deserve to be in her life.  Who is she?

I have a couple of suspects for this blind item.  At first, I thought this was Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon since he is a “celebrity husband” and she is the bigger name, then I read that the celebrity’s younger sister was sleeping with the husband so that ruled them out.  Mariah is the youngest of her siblings so I eliminated her. 

I think that this might be Toni Braxton and her husband Former Mint Condition member Keri Lewis.  She has a lot of younger sisters for him to choose.  She’s also the bigger star between them.  He hasn’t really been doing that much since he left Mint Condition so that leaves him plenty of time to hook up with one of her sisters.

If this is not Toni, then I suspect Mary J. Blige and her husband Kendu. There are rumors floating that their marriage is in trouble. The only problem is that she has an older sister and not a younger sister. Mary is on the outs with her sister so this could be why.  I don’t suspect her as much as I do Toni, but she is high up on the suspect list.

This funny actor wasn’t kidding when he copped a total diva attitude on the set of a recent movie. While every other actor would walk from their trailer to the set, Diva Boy insisted on taking a golf cart. The set was an entire thirty feet from his trailer.

My main suspect for this blind item is Adam Sandler. I think the fact that he takes a golf cart to his trailer might be a clue.  He was in a movie about golf and that might be a hint.  He’s also filming another movie and he’s famous enough to pull a diva attitude on a set.

 This show had a good run with the teen crowd while it was on the air, and it produced more than one popular star. One of the handsome leads literally charmed the pants off nearly all female members of the cast.  One guest star was so smitten that she actually took off her lacy bottoms under the sheets with him while cameras were rolling for the scene. The TV censors had no idea they were practically showing porn in primetime. Hint: The actor now stars in another TV series.

I think this is Benjamin Mackenzie from The O.C.  The O.C. was a teen drama and it’s no longer on the air.  According to the hint, the actor is on another series and Benjamin is starring on NBC’s Southland.  I read that he and Mischa Barton dated while they were on the show together so she could be one of the females that he charmed the pants off of while the show was on the air.

Mary J. Blige has joined the cast of Tyler Perry’s new movie I Can Do Bad All By Myself.  It’s due out September 11, 2009. That’s a weird time for a movie to come out considering what happened on that day. The film will also star Oscar nominee Taraji P. Henson.  The movie centers around Mary’s character. Mary plays a nightclub manager named Tanya.  Taraji will be playing a good friend of Mary’s character.  The character of Madea will be in the movie. I’m glad because I really enjoy the character of Madea.  I Can Do Bad All By Myself is another one of Tyler Perry’s stage plays that he turned into a screenplay.  I enjoyed the other movies that Tyler Perry has done so I’m sure I will enjoy this too. 

I hope that Mary can pull off a lead role like this.  She has a lot of weight to carry seeing as she’s the star of a Tyler Perry movie. They are usually filled with drama as well as comedy.  I’m not sure if Mary’s done a comedic role so it might be a challenge for her.  I wonder if Tyler had Mary in mind when he decided to do the movie or did she have to audition for it? 

Mary is also going to be guest starring on a primetime show this year.  She guest-starred on Entourage in 2007.  In addition to acting, Mary is in the studio working on a new CD.  She’s working on the follow-up on her Growing Pains cd. It’s due out later this year.  I will be looking forward to hearing her new music.  She’s been guest-starring in a lot of songs lately so it will be good to hear her own new music on the radio.

I wanted to do a story on a lighter note from the Natasha Richardson story.  It’s not good for the parties involved though, but it’s not as tragic.

I just found out about a shocking rumor.  I read that LeAnn Rimes is possibly having an affair with her co-star Eddie Cibrian.  They were in the TV Movie Nora Roberts’ Northern Lights.  It just aired this past weekend.  According to the rumors, they got really close on the set of the movie.  The director of the movie, Mike Robe, saw them getting close during the filming of the movie. They were allegedly seen together at the Malibu Beach Inn on March 14^th.  LeAnn has denied that she is having an affair with Eddie Cibrian.  She dismissed the rumors.  Eddie hasn’t made any comments one way or the other about the rumors. 

The problem with the fact that they might have had an affair is that they are both married.  LeAnn married Dean Sheremet, a backup dancer when she was 19.  She’s been married to him for seven years. LeAnn and her husband don’t have any kids. Eddie married Brandi Glanville, a model in 2001.  They have two children who are 5 and 1.  If this is true, maybe LeAnn was feeling the seven-year itch and that could explain why she could have possibly had an affair.

If this is true, I am truly shocked.  I remember when LeAnn first started singing as a teenager.  I wasn’t a big fan of her music, but I was aware of who she was.  I heard a couple of her songs.  I never would have thought she would have been involved in a scandal like this.  For some reason, I’m not as surprised by Eddie’s involvement in this rumor.  There were rumors about him possibly cheating on girlfriend that he had in the past. 

This wouldn’t be the first time that a couple would have had an affair offscreen.  Anne Heche had an affair with her Men On Trees co-star.  Tori Spelling also had an affair with her husband while they were filming a movie together.  We all know the story between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.  They were rumored to have had an affair while they were filming Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

Natasha Richardson Suffers A Serious Head Injury
Actress Natasha Richardson (45) suffered a serious head injury in a skiing accident. She was taking a private skiing lesson and she was not wearing a helmet.  She was hospitalized on Monday.  She was transferred to Centre Hospitalier in Montreal.  She is a Tony-winning actress who is married to actor Liam Neeson.  She is also the daughter of actress Vanessa Redgrave and producer Tony Richardson.  Natasha is also the mother of Micheal, 13, and Daniel, 12.  Luckily for now, she appears to be okay.  She was able to walk around an hour after the incident.  Head injuries are really serious and I hope that there isn’t something seriously wrong with her. 

  Actor Ron Silver Passed Away
Tony-winning actor and political activist, Ron Silver passed away.  He died in his home.  He had a long-suffering battle with cancer. He was best known for his role in Reversal Of Fortune and he had a recurring role on West Wing.  I remember him from the movie Blue Steel.  He was a really convincing villain in the movie. I really liked that movie.  He also had a role on the defunct TV show Veronica’s Closet.  He is survived by his parents, his brothers, and his two children.  My prayers go out to his family.

 Charlie Sheen and Wife Have Kids
Actor Charlie Sheen and his wife Brooke Mueller welcome twins to their family.  They have twin boys named Max and Bob.  Since I’m a twin, I couldn’t be happier for them. The twins were born on Saturday.  Charlie has three other children from previous relationships. He has a daughter from his first marriage and two daughters from his second marriage to Danicng With The Stars contestant Denise Richardson. 

Update on Chris and Rihanna duet
According to reports, Chris Brown and Rihanna’s song was recorded BEFORE the incident.  A rep for producer Polow Da Don said that this song was not recorded as part of their reconciliation. The song was recordered during the summer.  Apparently, the media wanted to capitalize off of their story by spreading around that they were recording a new song together.  At this point, I don’t know what I believe about this story, but I will try to keep you informed about it. 

   Dancing With The Stars Contestants in Tax Trouble
Two contestants on Dancing With The Stars are in tax trouble.  Lil’ Kim and David Allen Grier are facing tax problems. According to EUR web, they have not paid their taxes in a bit.  They are two more celebrities who felt that they didn’t have to pay their taxes. They may end up going to jail the same way that Ron Isley did because he didn’t pay his taxes. Wesley Snipes could possibly face prison time for not paying his taxes too.  Lil’ Kim just came out of jail not too long ago and she could end up going back if she doesn’t pay her taxes.

This star is in really bad financial shape. How bad? Well, they actually went to a Beverly Hills pawn shop and tried to get the pawnbroker to take their Academy Award and Golden Globe statues. The pawnbroker refused the Oscar - as they actually belong to the Academy and can not be sold - but did take the Golden Globe. The statue will be sold in four months unless the star can pay back the loan with interest.

I think this could be a couple of people.  If it’s a woman, then I think this might be Helen Hunt.  She hasn’t acted in a while.  She’s won an Oscar and a Golden Globe Award.  Since she hasn’t really worked in a movie or on a TV show, she could probably use the money.  If this is a man, then I think it might be Cuba Gooding Jr.  He’s won an Oscar, but I’m not sure if he’s won a Golden Globe Award.  He has done a lot of flop movies so he could also be having money troubles too.

Which rapper threatened a pal after the buddy mistreated his girlfriend? The icon got in his face, then froze him out on the group’s private jet.

I think this might be 50 Cent and G-Unit.  I don’t know which buddy it is, but I think the rap icon is 50 Cent.  There aren’t too many rap groups around that I can think of that can afford a private jet.  If this is 50 Cent and G-Unit, this might not be much of a blind item.

Which aging supermodel is planning a fake lesbian romance to get the tabloids interested again in her flagging career?

This blind item might be Janice Dickinson or Kate Moss.  Neither one of them have been in the tabloids too much lately.  This could be a career boost for them if either of them were to have a lesbian romance.  This might not be much of a stretch for Janice since she’s been rumored to have had lesbian relationships before.

This actress is C list now. Back in the day she was probably a B lister with some very famous boyfriends who were A listers when they dated. Our actress was also around for one of the most famous moments in Hollywood history. You might think she is old from the description I’ve given, but she’s not. She just has been acting a long time and it is taking a toll. How big of a toll? Well our actress has multiple movies coming out in which she is actually the female lead in two of them. The movies need press, but she can’t do it. She is on so many different kinds of pills right now that she doesn’t know if she is coming or going and barely can utter a coherent sentence that is not memorized in advance. The producers of the first movie she has scheduled to come out and have already given up trying to get her to promote it and instead have come up with gimmicks. The producers of the second movie want to get her into rehab, but she just wants to be left alone to live her life as she pleases. These movies represented her comeback, but it doesn’t look like it will last for long at this rate.

This blind item might be Winona Ryder.  She was like a B-list star back in the day.  She also dated famous people including Johnny Depp (yummy) and Matt Damon.  She hasn’t really been the same since she broke up with Johnny Depp. I don’t really blame her for that since Johnny is really hot.  I heard that she has some movies coming out this year so she fits the blind item.  She could use a comeback after the way she humiliated herself by shoplifting some years ago.

Friday the 13^th is usually an unlucky day, but it really was for Lindsay. According to E! Online, there’s an arrest warrant out for Lindsay.  There’s a $50,000 warrant issued for her because of a DUI that she got in May 2007. She ended up getting arrested for it.  She also had to do a stint in rehab because of the incident.  Lindsay was involved in a DUI as well as a hit and run incident.  The police department’s spokesperson, Lt. Mark Rosen confirmed the warrant. 

Lindsay’s lawyer is trying to do damage control for her. Her lawyer said that the warrant was a “misunderstanding” Here is a quote from her lawyer:

“Since her case was resolved, Ms. Lohan has been in compliance with all the terms and conditions of her probation and all orders of the court. The warrant issued on Friday was, in our view, born out of a misunderstanding which I am confident I can clear up next week.”

There is a hearing scheduled for Monday at 8:30 at the Beverly Hills Courthouse. 

I remember watching her when she was on the soap opera Another World.  I never realized that she would end up getting herself in so much trouble.  She was probably on her way to having a pretty good movie career until she ruined it.  She’s constantly getting herself into trouble or doing things that cast her in a negative light.  Maybe she should go to jail this time instead of getting a slap on the wrist. It might be the only thing that makes her realize that she should try to change her ways. Whenever I see her in a magazine, she always looks like she’s drunk so hopefully she will change if she does get in some serious trouble.  There are too many celebrities who are getting away with their DUIs and it should be stopped. 

Since there were quite a few things happening in the entertainment world, I’ve decided to cover some of the stories in this blog.  Let’s get started with your entertainment news.

  Are Rihanna and Chris Brown doing a duet?

According to reports, a source said that Chris and Rihanna are working on a single together.  Chris wants the single to appear on his upcoming cd which is due out later this year.  According to the source, they are in the recording studio working on the song.  If this is true, I am really scratching my head about this one.  It makes me wonder if the whole drama surrounding their relationship is a setup.  They do get a lot of attention because of what happened between them.  It’s weird that they would get back together so soon after he allegedly hit her.  She’s also willing to work with him as well as possibly getting back together with him.  I wonder if it’s just a hoax after all.  When I find out more details, I’ll let you know. 

Chris Brown is still a nominee for a Kids’ Choice Award
The people behind the awards have decided to keep Chris Brown on the ballot despite parents having objections to it.  They believe that it’s the kids’ choice to keep him on the ballot.  I think the powers that be want to have controversial ceremony and that might be why he’s staying a nominee.

Dancing With The Stars debuted
The eighth season of Dancing With The “Stars” debuted last night.  It had good numbers for its season premiere.  Holly Madison and Melissa Rycroft joined the show. They replaced Jewel and Nancy O’Dell respectively.  Holly is from the reality show Girls Next Door and Melissa is from this season’s The Bachelor.  I saw the first half of the show, but I did get to see Holly dance.  Let’s just say that it wasn’t pretty for her.  I’m not sure how Melissa did.

Oprah is dedicating an episode to domestic violence on Thursday
Oprah wants to do an episode about domestic violence after what happened between Rihanna and Chris Brown.  Oprah won’t get to interview Rihanna, but she wants her audience to become more aware of domestic violence.  I remember reading once that Oprah was a victim of domestic abuse.  The episode is supposed to air on Thursday.

Heroes was renewed
Heroes is not getting canceled after all. It was reported last night that the NBC drama Heroes was getting renewed.  There was talk that the show was going to be canceled after this season, but it wasn’t after all.  I don’t watch this show, but I wanted to let those of you who watch it know that the show was saved.  I don’t know if that’s a decision that the powers that be won’t end up regretting since last night’s episode was the worst rated one for the show’s entire run. NBC doesn’t like keeping shows on when they don’t do well so we’ll see how long it will last.
