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 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. 

I was looking online and I happened to see a question about Rihanna. Could she lose everything like Chris Brown if she takes him back?  It’s an interesting question.  In this Chris Brown/Rihanna drama, I just assumed that Chris Brown would lose everything.  It never occurred to me to look at the other picture.  Is it possible that Rihanna could lose her career over this mess too?  Could she lose her endorsement deals because of all the negativity surrounding her relationship with Chris Brown?  Will people turn their backs on her because of the bad decision she may have made by taking him back? Also, there are people online who are not taking her side in the matter. I have seen posts where she is being blamed for the abuse she received by Chris.  I’ve also seen some that say that she is crazy for taking him back. 

To get back to the point about her losing her endorsement deals, marketing experts think that she isn’t really a good role model anymore now that she’s possibly taken Chris back.  Lucky for Rihanna that her endorsers still see her as the victim in this or else she would probably have been dropped the same way as Chris.  She hasn’t been dropped just yet, but time will tell. It will depend on whether the customers can get past her decision to get back together with Chris Brown.  Cover Girl’s customers are mostly women and young girls who may not like the idea of her taking back a man who abused her.  As I mentioned, it’s going to depend on the customers whether or not she stays a representative for the cosmetics company. 

As far as both of their music careers go, I’ve read that they are back in the studio.  They are both recording cds that are going to be due out soon.  I think Chris may be wasting his time putting his cd out.  It may be a good cd, but I don’t think too many people will buy it.  Radio stations have stopped playing his music so it’s going to be hard for him to promote his cd.  Rihanna may not have the same trouble that he’s going to have though.  She is still being played in heavy rotation.  It may not do as well as it would have before this drama started because as I said earlier, there are a lot of people who are blaming her for what happened so they may not buy her music either.  I wonder if they will put their cds out around the same time. I wonder whose cd would do better.

According to reports, Chris Brown had to do damage control to protect his reputation.  First, he called Rihanna on her birthday to wish her well.  Second, he decided to take anger management classes.  Third, he tried to give her some of the blame for the incident.   When that didn’t work, he tried a new approach. He wanted to reunite with Rihanna.  He needs Rihanna to take him back in order to look better in the public eye.  He allegedly wants to get public sympathy and he needs her forgiveness in order to get it.  The only problem is she hasn’t given him her forgiveness yet. 

According to Page Six, he alerted the media that he was meeting with her to talk about getting back together.  The media followed them while they were together. Talk about great timing.  I’m sure he knows how much the media would have capitalized on seeing them together so this was a perfect opportunity to let everyone know that they were trying to work things out. 

I don’t know if this is all true or not.  This could just be more rumors being spread to make Chris Brown look even worse in the public eye. As the informer, I wanted to let you all know what the latest drama was between Chris and Rihanna.  If it is true, it shows that he’s only using Rihanna to make himself look better.  He could also be trying to avoid a jail sentence by letting the media know that he wants to be back with her.  Maybe he thinks the prosecutor will go easy on him if he can keep Rihanna from testifying against him.  He must think that he will be let off the hook if she forgives him.  This is really sad that he thinks that doing this will make people forget what he did. If this is true, he should be more concerned about what’s going to happen to him when he goes to trial instead of trying to get the public to think that he’s back with Rihanna. 

This just in! Chris Brown was charged with two felony counts for beating Rihanna.  He was charged with assault and making criminal threats. Both of these counts are considered felonies.  He’s supposed to be at LA Superior Court for his arraignment.  If he is convicted, he can face up to four to eight years in jail.

TMZ has a quote for why he’s getting charged with making criminal threats.  Here’s the quote:

 “Brown then allegedly shoved Rihanna’s head against the passenger window. When Rihanna turned to face him, Brown punched her, then continued punching her while driving, according to the detective’s notes.Blood spattered all over Rihanna’s clothing and in the interior of the car. Her mouth was filled with blood. 

Brown allegedly told Rihanna, “I’m going to beat the **** out of you when we get home. You wait and see.”Rihanna called her assistant and left a message saying, “I am on my way home. Make sure the cops are there when I get there.”

Even though Rihanna and Chris might be back together again, he was still charged. Even without Rihanna’s testimony, Chris may still face jail time. The interview that Rihanna gave the police after the incident is strong enough evidence to charge him.  In the interview, she told the police that Chris has hit her in the past and that the attacks have become more violent.  They also have the pictures that were released of her face to use against Chris too.  The ones that weren’t released to the media were worse than the one that was released. 

It looks like Chris Brown is in some serious trouble. The prosecution wants to take this matter seriously so he might be in trouble even if he and Rihanna decide to work things out and stay together.  Maybe he should have thought twice about hitting Rihanna the way he did. No one will ever know what happened between them to get the fight started, but he shouldn’t have hit her the way he did.  Even if she started the fight, he is still the one getting in trouble for it now.
