Retired Singer Phil Collins Moves Back to USA and Reconciles With 3rd Ex-wife 6 Yrs After Divorcing!!!

Hey do you remember former singer Phil Collins? He used to be a drummer in a band and then he went solo and had a pretty good career. Well, is now retired and living in Miami with his 3rd ex wife that he reconciled with, Orianne. Phil and Orianne divorced in 2008 after 12 yrs together. At that time he paid her $25 million USD in the divorce settlement, which was the highest ever paid in a divorce in Great Britain. Heather Mills received L24.3 million (British Pounds ) from Sir Paul McCartney.

Phil had been living in Switzerland with his 2 sons (Matthew and Nicolas), but then they moved back to the United States to be with their mother(Orianne) who is paralysed from Brown-Sequard Syndrome. Phil is having his own health problems due to alcoholism, but he is back on the wagon again. (for 3 yrs so far).

“I’d wake up, turn the TV on and have a glass of wine. You look up at the end of the day and you’ve knocked off a couple of bottles - and you’re still sober!

“I spent way too much time horizontal. It started to be bad for my body. I almost died. My organs were beginning to shut down. But I’m all right now.” Wow, I know exactly how you feel. I had a bad reaction to some medication back in Nov 2015 and ended up in the hospital for 5 days after my kidneys up and stopped working the Sunday prior to Thanksgiving. Thank God the doctors were able to get my kidneys working again. But I had to have dialysis twice.

Good luck to Phil and Orianne, I hope things work out this time. Below is a picture of them back when they were married.

Talk Show Host Wendy Williams Goes ALL in on Kanye West And READS Him for Filth About Twitter Feud!!!

Whew!!! Are you sitting down? Good, 'cause I have the T on Wendy Williams the talk show host, going all in on Kanye West regarding his twitter feud with Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose. Wendy was very animated when she was breaking it down and a couple of times she got on the edge of her stool to really hammer a point in. Gurl!!! I was hooping and hollering!!! She read Kanye West for filth. If I were Wendy I would not answer my door. Kanye might be coming for you now.

Rappers Wiz Khalifa and Kanye West.

What had happen, was...Kanye got all mad at Wiz when Kanye thought Wiz dissed his wife Kim Kardashian. Wiz tweeted Kanye and told him to hit KK and relax, (I am paraphrasing here). Well the KK that Wiz was referring to was the weed that is named after him, Khalifa Krush. So Kanye started tweeting like a bitch at Wiz. Then Amber jumped in and outed Kanye, talking about playing in Kanye's asshole and #fingersinthebootyassbitch.

Wendy went all in with:“The idea that he’s going after Wiz like that is crazy,” the 51 year old said. “The idea that he’s talking about Amber being a stripper, you’re not saying anything that she hasn’t admitted herself. As a matter of fact, Kanye, you’re the one who gave this stripper her come up.”

Amber Rose and Kanye West in happier times.

Galvanizing an audience fully prepared to receive the shade she threw at the Waves emcee, Williams didn’t hold back when pointing out Amber and his wife, Kim aren’t that different.

“And by the way, we recall meeting your wife on her back,” Williams finished.

Williams didn’t stop there an went on to allege Kim and Kanye’s marriage is a sham.

“I’m not going to say anything about Kanye and what people want to do behind closed doors is their business, but I am embarrassed for Kim Kardashian I’m not going to even call you West because clearly that’s not a real marriage,” the talk show host said. “Anytime your man is out there fighting with another man and bringing up his ex. Like, why is Kanye still talking about Amber? What kind of respect, of lack there of does he have for his new son Saint? And his daughter? And why are you talking like that? So I’m embarrassed for Kim.”

Whew! Watch the full read below.

Paul Kantner of Jefferson Airplane, Dead at 74 Yrs!

Guitarist and co-founding member of Jefferson Airplane, Paul Kantner passed away yesterday from multiple organ failure after having had a heart attack earlier this week; he was just 74 yrs old.

Kantner formed Jefferson Airplane in 1965 with his friend, singer Marty Balin, and the band's initial lineup also included singer Signe Anderson, guitarist Jorma Kaukonen, bassist Jack Casady and drummer Skip Spence. After releasing its debut album, "Jefferson Airplane Takes Off," in 1965, singer Grace Slick was brought in to replace Anderson and Spencer Dryden took over for Spence. This lineup of the group went on to record the group's landmark 1967 record, "Surrealistic Pillow," which featured the band's only top 10 hits -- "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit."

Kantner contributed his voice and guitar to many of the group's songs, and wrote or co-wrote such tunes as "Today," "Martha," "Crown of Creation," "We Can Be Together" and "Volunteers." He also co-wrote "Wooden Ships" with David Crosby and Stephen Stills, a song recorded by both Airplane and Crosby, Stills & Nash. In 1971, Kantner fathered a daughter with Slick named China.

After Jefferson Airplane broke up in 1972, Kantner formed a new group with Slick called the Jefferson Starship, which Balin eventually joined. That group released a series of pop and rock hits throughout the 1970s and into the '80s. Kantner exited the band in the mid-80s over the artistic direction of the group, and then formed the short-lived KBC Band with Balin and Casady.

Jefferson Airplane reunited in 1989 for a new album and tour, and a few years later Kantner re-formed Jefferson Starship with a shifting lineup of musicians that included Balin, Casady and founding Jefferson Starship bassist David Freiberg. In 1996, Kantner was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Jefferson Airplane.

In March of 2015, Kantner suffered a heart attack, but he returned to Jefferson Starship after a period of recovery and continued to perform with the band until his death.

He is survived by his daughter and two sons.Rest in peace, Paul.

Kanye West and Whiz Khalifa Engage in Twitter Feud!!! Wow, Really?....Plus Amber Rose Outs Kanye!!!!

Okay this is just stupid. Real men don't tweet verbiage at each other, REAL MEN settle arguments with their fists on street corners or in bars!!! Only bitches and Queens have twitter fights!!! hahahaha

So this is what happened. Kanye is releasing his 8th studio album next month and at first he was going to call it Swish. (Rolls eyes, ok gurl.) But then he decided to change the name of the album to Wave and he tweeted about it. Well Whiz Khalifa saw it and he tweeted to Kanye, "Please don't take the Wave", and "Max B is the wavy one. He created the wave. There is no wave without him" and also, "I'm a wavy baby for sure and I'm not having it"and "He's the reason I sing on all of my songs. That's the wave, if there's nothing wit that sound ITS NOT WAVY".  But what got Kanye so mad was the following tweet, "Hit this KK and become yourself". Kanye thought Wiz was dissing his wife Kim Kardashian, so Kanye lit into Wiz.

Kanye tweeted, "Like, oh that's Ye and I can put his wife's initials on my twitter @wizkhalifa" and Wiz responded "KK is weed fool. Reasons why you are not wavy Go bacc to Swish." and, "I been smashed the idea of that album even existing. I got joints to roll @kanyewest". Kanye tweeted "work hard play hard" and some other boring tweets then he went all in on Wiz with "4th you let a stripper trap you" and "5th I know you mad every time you look at your child that this girl got you for 18 yrs" and "6th dont ever come out of the side of your neck at me" and "7th I am your OG and I will be respected as such" blah blah Kanye went on with more boring stuff if you want to read all of them google them because he deleted them later on.




Then Amber Rose jumped into the fray and she goes all in with both barrels blazin'!!!! Amber tweets, "awww @kanyewest are you mad that I am not around to play in ur asshole #fingersinthebootyassbitch". Say what now? Are you serious? Amber did you really used to stick your fingers into Kanye's ass? Well that makes him an undercover. DING!!! Then she tweeted, "LOL @kanyewest now you wanna go and delete ur tweets cause Muva has arrived? #twitterfingers #UrgettingbodiedbyastripperNigga".  Kanye then tweeted that he was gonna take all of those down because of positive blessings blah blah blah. hahahaha That was a bitch ass move too. Say it Like You Mean It (SILUMI)!!! Whew!!! dont you just love it when rich people fight? LOL

Widow of Fox Lake Police Lt. Who Committed Suicide Indicted on Multiple Charges!!! YEAH!!!!

Do you remember this story from back in Sept 2015, a Fox Lake Country Police Lt, Joeseph Gleniewicz who committed suicide but blamed it on 3 made up assailants, has been indicted on multiple charges. Melodie Gleniewicz, was an adult adviser with the Fox Lake Police Explorer Post who had fiduciary responsibilities, the statement said. Joseph Gliniewicz had overseen the post for more than 20 years.

“The investigation revealed money was withdrawn from the police explorer account over the course of several years," said Ray Rose, an undersheriff with the Lake County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.

The funds were used to pay for personal expenses, such as a trip to Hawaii as well as at Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts, the Fox Lake Theatre, and more than 400 restaurants, police said.

It was not immediately clear what role Melodie Gliniewicz allegedly played in the case.

She was arrested after turning herself into the Lake County Sheriff's Office, police said. She was indicted on three counts of disbursing charitable funds without authority and for personal benefit, one count of disbursing charitable funds without authority and for personal benefit and two counts of money laundering. Her bond was set at $50,000.

“This entire matter has been a sad and tragic saga for the Village of Fox Lake," said Lake County State's Attorney Michael Nerheim. "My hope is that we will be able to close this unfortunate chapter and move forward with ensuring a professional and transparent police department dedicated to the citizens of Fox Lake."

"Considering Melodie’s cooperation with law enforcement, she is devastated by the decision to bring charges against her," her lawyers, David P. Buckley and Andrew J. Kelleher said in a statement. "Melodie is a victim of her husband’s secret actions and looks forward to her day in Court to show the world her innocence."

Gliniewicz died in September by a "carefully staged suicide" after the police veteran committed what authorities described as "extensive criminal acts" over several years.

Congratulations to Tyra Banks and Her Boyfriend Erik Asla, Thanks to Surrogate!!!

Congratulations go out to mogul Tyra Banks and her boyfriend, Erik Asla on the birth of their son by surrogate. Tyra was unable to conceive and so they went with a surrogate instead. They boy was born on Wed and they named him York Banks Asla. Wow, who knew that Tyra and her bf Erik were so committed to one another.

“The best present we worked and prayed so hard for is finally here,” she shared “He’s got my fingers and big eyes and his daddy Erik’s mouth and chin.”

“As we thank the angel of a woman that carried our miracle baby boy for us, we pray for everyone who struggles to reach this joyous milestone. York Banks Asla, welcome to the world.” Aww, I am so happy for Tyra and her fine ass bf. Tyra is 42 and that's kind of old to be having a baby, now she's gonna be 60 when York graduates from High School. I hope she is still around when he gets married and has children of his own. Not everyone starts in their 20s.  Sigh, c'est la vie. Congratulations again to this very happy couple on becoming a family. When is the wedding?

Ralph Finnes Has Been Cast To Portray the Late Michael Jackson in New British Film!!!

First the Oscars snuff and now this. Actor Ralph Finnes has been cast to portray the late singer Michael Jackson in a new film for British Television, that has been green lighted. The film is about a trip taken by Michael Jackson, the late Elizabeth Taylor and the late Marlon Brando took just after 9-1-1. The 3 rented a car and were attempting to drive back to California but only made it as far as Ohio. I am sure Michael is running around Hell or where ever he is now jumping for joy that a white guy is going to play him in a film. hahahaha

Fiennes will play the late King of Pop alongside Brian Cox as Marlon Brando and Stockard Channing as Elizabeth Taylor, according to The Guardian.

The film, entitled Elizabeth, Michael, and Marlon, will be based on a story first reported in Vanity Fair. A former employee of Jackson’s claims that the musician invited the legendary actors to see him perform in New York just before 9/11.

Fiennes is best known for his role in the 1998 Oscar darling Shakespeare in Love. He has also appeared in American Horror Story and the Dwayne Johnson action film Hercules.

Jackson was one of the most popular musicians of the 20th century, with his hit single “Thriller” selling over 30 million copies alone as of 2015. His later life was marred by accusations of child molestation, though Jackson was never convicted. He died in 2009.

Ben Palmer will direct with Neil Forsyth set to write the screenplay. Sky Arts is producing with Ralf Little executive producing.

A Fool and His Money are Soon Parted...Photograph of a Potato Sells for Record 7 Figure Price!!!!!

Okay, just when you think you have heard or seen it all, another story pops up to make you go WTF!!! My mother used to tell me that a fool and his money were soon parted and I should always save some money on the side for emergencies. Well, some unnamed European businessman just spent, wait for it....are you sitting down? $1.5 MILLION USD for a photograph of a single potato. The pic is above, do you think it is worth $1.5 MILLION dollars? HELL THE MOTHER FUCKING NO!!! The photograph was taken by celebrity photographer Kevin Abosch...who? I've never heard of him b4. hahahaha

The selling price of the portrait, titled “Potato #345,” is a little “absurd,” Abosch told the paper. He said the deal with an unnamed European businessman came about over a dinner at his house in Paris.

“We had two glasses of wine, and he said, ‘I really like that.’ Two more glasses of wine, and he said, ‘I really want that,’” Abosch told the London Sunday times reporter. (That mus have been some really good wine! right?)

The deal was struck two weeks later. Abosch says it’s the most he’s been paid for a portrait that wasn’t commissioned.

So why did he decide to photograph this particular spud? Abosch told the Times that the potato arrived at his house in a batch of organic vegetables in 2010. He took photos of a number of potatoes and isn’t sure of the variety of this particular one. 

“I see commonalities between humans and potatoes that speak to our relationship as individuals within a collective species. Generally, the life of a harvested potato is violent and taken for granted. I use the potato as a proxy for the ontological study of the human experience,” Abosch told the Irish Times.

There are two other prints of the potato — one in Abosch’s private collection and another that was donated to an art museum in Serbia.

Actor Abe Vigoda, Dead at 94 Yrs! (For Real This Time!!!!)

Aww, this time it's really true. Actor Abe Vigoda, from the 1970s sitcom, "Barney Miller" has passed away in his sleep in his home in New Jersey, from natural causes, he was 94 yrs old. Back in 1982, People magazine erroneously reported that Abe had passed away and he posed sitting up in a coffin holding a copy of the People magazine letting everyone know he was alive and well. So it got to kind of be a running joke that he had died and soon there was a web site called " Is Abe Vigoda dead? ". Well sadly this time it is true. Abe was a very good character actor. He appeared in such TV shows as Dark Shadows, Hawaii 50, and Kojack. He was also a movie star, he had a good role in the original 1972 Godfather, Joe Versus the Volcano and my all time favorite role for him in Good Burger(Hilarious!!!). Rest in peace Abe.

Mr. and Mrs. John Legend Attend Winestar Awards Show in NYC...Classy or Trashy?!

Okay, formal attire is my favorite to look at, but it has to be classy and not trashy. What do you think of Chrissy Teigen's gown that she wore to the Winestar awards with her husband singer John Legend? Classy or trashy? Should a pregnant woman be wearing a dress with a plunging neckline and cutouts? And sandals with stiletto heels? I think she looks pretty damn good here. Her boobs aren't falling out of the dress and you are only getting a little view of the bottoms of her boobs. So, I'm gonna say classy. hahahaha

Rob Kardashian is Dating Blac Chyna...Tyga's Baby Mama!!!

Wow, I am surprised that Rob Kardashian, 28 yrs, is dating Blac Chyna, 27 yrs, his sister Kylie's boyfriend's baby mama. Blac Chyna also used to be besties with Rob's older sister Kim  until they had a falling out. Wow! Wouldn't you just love to be at the Thanksgiving dinner table with this clan? Looks like Rob has lost some weight but he's still a porker!!! I think once he comes to terms with his homosexuality, he should be able to get a handle on his weight. LOL Oh yes folks, Rob is a latent homosexual. One time when a paps was trying to get him to answer questions, the paps asked something about someone else being gay and Rob mis-heard him and copped a major attitude!!! He was like are you trying to say that I am gay? And the paps was no, that's not what I said. Rob was like Yo, yo, you better not be. But his anger was so quick and so real, and very homophobic. And everyone knows that most homophobes are latent homosexuals. Besides, he acts like a bitch. Getting so depressed over these ex's and his breakups. Men don't love like that, gays and women get so emotional like that over a breakup.

Mariah Carey and Billionaire Fiance Rent Lavish Mansion for $250,000.00 Per Month!!!

Wow, how subtle. NOT!!! This is just ridiculous! Mariah Carey and her billionaire fiance, James Packer have rented an 18,000 sqr ft mansion in a gated community in Calabasas California called The Oaks. And they are paying, well I bet, its James, who is paying the $250,000.00 monthly rent. That's $3 million a year if you do the math. And I have, hahahaha. The house reportedly has a gym, a movie theater, a sauna and all of the stones on the outside of the house were imported from Italy. Big whoop! If I were a billionaire, I would NEVER rent a home, I would just buy it or have it they home built. The couple has the option to buy it too, I guess if they like it.

James is reportedly worth $3.5 billion dollars and Mariah has a net worth of $525 million dollars. And last week when James proposed to Mariah, he gave her a 35 Karat diamond and platinum ring that reportedly cost $7.5 million dollars. So what's a few hundred thousand for a rental when your cash is stacked like his is. hahahaha But I say, it is wasteful and ostentatious!!!

Keisha Knight Pulliam Reveals That She Married Ed Hartwell On New Year's Eve!

OMG!!! I hate it when celebs lie about their mile stones. Remember just a couple of weeks ago, I ran an article about Keisha Knight Pulliam was engaged to former NFL player Ed Hartwell? Well, that story was a lie. Because just recently, Keisha revealed that she wed Ed Hartwell, on New Years Eve in a surprise wedding. She invited her friends and family over for a New Year's Eve Party but had the wedding instead. That's stupid, how are you gonna get your wedding presents if they don't know they are coming to a wedding? LOL Well congratulations to the Newlyweds.

Transgendered Actress Alexis Arquette Outs Will Smith!!!

OMG! Are you sitting down? Transgendered actress Alexis Arquette outs actor Will Smith. According to Alexis, the real reason why Will's first marriage broke up is because his first wife, Sheree caught him in bed with a man. Ex wife, Sheree denies this. Sheree claims that the real reason her marriage to Will Smith broke up is because they were too young. Sheree and Will were only married for 3 yrs. Now I have not heard this rumor b4. I have heard rumors about Jada Pinkett Smith, but if her rumor is true, I don't care if she's a lesbian or not. hahahaha I don't really care if Will is gay or not. But it would explain so much.  I remember years ago, when I kept hearing rumors that Rock Hudson was gay. And I didn't believe it then, but now when I watch McMillan and Wife, there were so many clues that just scream it!!! hahahaha The same clues that I see sometimes when I watch Fresh Prince of Bel Air. hahahaha The way one holds a cigarette, they way you hold a glass, the way you walk, when you sit down, do you cross your legs at the knees or at the ankles, the way you move your hands when you talk, etc. etc.

The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences Makes Dramatic Changes to It's Govening Bodies, Voting Members, ETC to Bring About Some Diversity!!!!

First of all, it's about damn time!!! However, I think it's a day late and a dollar short. I don't understand why everyone got so mad this year when all of the nominees for Oscars were white. How was this any different from previous years? People of color and women are almost always over looked when it comes to winning Oscars or just being nominated!!!

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences has approved a sweeping series of substantive changes designed to make the Academy’s membership, its governing bodies, and its voting members significantly more diverse.  The Board’s goal is to commit to doubling the number of women and diverse members of the Academy by 2020.

“The Academy is going to lead and not wait for the industry to catch up,” said Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs. “These new measures regarding governance and voting will have an immediate impact and begin the process of significantly changing our membership composition.”

Beginning later this year, each new member’s voting status will last 10 years, and will be renewed if that new member has been active in motion pictures during that decade.  In addition, members will receive lifetime voting rights after three ten-year terms; or if they have won or been nominated for an Academy Award.  We will apply these same standards retroactively to current members.  In other words, if a current member has not been active in the last 10 years they can still qualify by meeting the other criteria.  Those who do not qualify for active status will be moved to emeritus status.  Emeritus members do not pay dues but enjoy all the privileges of membership, except voting.  This will not affect voting for this year’s Oscars.

At the same time, the Academy will supplement the traditional process in which current members sponsor new members by launching an ambitious, global campaign to identify and recruit qualified new members who represent greater diversity.

The decision was made at an emergency board meeting Thursday night. Academy honchos, including president Cheryl Boone Isaacs and CEO Dawn Hudson, opted not to wait for the regularly scheduled board meeting on Jan. 26. The changes were announced Friday morning.

Also on Thursday, sources said the Academy met with ABC officials and reps of Chris Rock, confirming that he will host the Feb. 28 ceremony. Jada Pinkett Smith, Spike Lee and Will Smith said they will not attend. Some other activists had urged Rock to withdraw; he never addressed those directly, but insiders said he believes he can do more good by remaining, since the Academy Awards reach a worldwide audience.

After worldwide media criticism over the Jan. 14 Oscar nominations, Academy officials knew they had to make some bold moves, and make them quickly. The image of the Oscars and the Academy were tarnished when the all-Caucasian lineup of 20 actors immediately led to bigger questions about the lack of diversity within the Academy — and ultimately within the industry.

Now, only time will tell if these changes make any difference. I'm still gonna watch the Oscars this year. I love the fashions and I love the jokes. So, I'm gonna make me some nice snacks and tune in and oooohhhh and ahhhhh over how gorgeous and awful the gowns are. hahahaha And who didn't comb their hair and another one who is wearing enough makeup for 10 drag queens. hahahaha Chris Rock should order pizzas and take up a collection for the delivery guy. That should be like an annual thing, the host does every year.

CDC Links Dole Bag Salad to Listeria Outbreak in 6 States!!!

Awww, damn it!!! Here we go again!!! What the hell is going on with contaminated foods again. The CDC has linked Dole Bag Salad to 1 death and 11 others hospitalized, since July 2015. First of all, what the fuck has taken ya'll so long to tell, us? And 2nd of all WHY does this keep happening?!!?!

People have been sickened by the listeria bacteria in Michigan, Massachusetts, Indiana, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York, the CDC said today, noting that the largest reported outbreak so far has been in New York, where four people fell ill.

Listeria can be a notoriously difficult food-borne illness to track because the incubation period is between 3 days and 70 days. The bacteria can also survive colder temperatures in a fridge.

All 12 people reported ill were hospitalized, including one pregnant woman, the CDC said. Five people who were interviewed by the CDC said they had eaten packaged salad in the month before they became ill. Two people specified they had eaten a Dole brand of salad.

The illnesses were first reported on July 5, 2015, and the CDC started to investigate in September.

The Ohio Department of Agriculture reported that it found listeria bacteria in a test of the brand's "Field Greens" packaged salad. Dole said it is now withdrawing all salad products that were produced at the facility in Springfield, Ohio, and the CDC has advised consumers and restaurants to throw out the salad immediately.

In a statement sent to ABC News today, Dole officials said the withdrawal of the salad was being done "out of an abundance of caution" and in collaboration with the CDC and U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The company stressed no other Dole facilities are affected.

The packaged salads were sold under various brand names, including Dole, Fresh Selections, Simple Truth, Marketside, The Little Salad Bar, and President's Choice, according to the CDC. The packaged salads can be identified by the letter "A" at the beginning of the manufacturing code found on the package.

People most at risk of listeria infection are young children, the elderly, pregnant women or people with compromised immune systems. Symptoms include fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion or loss of balance, according to the CDC. The disease is especially dangerous for pregnant women, since it can lead to miscarriage, stillbirth, premature delivery, or infection of a newborn.

Of the estimated 1,600 people infected with the bacteria annually in the U.S., approximately 260 deaths occur due to listeriosis, according to the CDC.

Rapper and Actor Mos Def Arrested in South Africa for Using Illegal Immigration Documents

Wow, why is it that rich people always think that they are above the law? Rapper and actor Mos Def, whose real name is Dante Terrel Smith, was trying to leave South Africa last week, but at the Immigration desk, he presented them with a "World Passport" and a 90 day visa (which was valid until Feb 2016), instead of his USA passport. He has a valid USA passport because South Africa has a record of him using it to enter the country

The World Government of World Citizens was established in 1953 by the late peace activist Garry Davis, an American who renounced his citizenship after World War II. No one accepts these "World Passports", so I don't even know why people go through the trouble to get them. Wikileaks founder Julian Assange and intelligence whistle blower Edward Snowden both have "World Passports". People who rage against legitimate governments like to get "World Passports" to show that they don't recognise nor conform to the legitimate governments.

It is believed that Smith, his wife and child have all been living in South Africa for years coming and going usually every 3 months.Mos Def, who also uses the name Yassin Bey, faces charges including using a false identity, and "aiding and abetting his family to stay illegally in South Africa".

His family's visas expired in April 2014, and they have been given until January 29 to leave South Africa.

According to immigration officials, Mos Def has entered the country ten times since 2013, always on a 90-day tourist visa using a US passport.

"I haven't broken any law. And I'm being treated like a criminal," he said on a message released via superstar rapper Kanye West's Twitter feed.

In 2014, Mos Def cancelled a planned tour of the US due to what his publicists called "legal and immigration issues".

In his acclaimed hip-hop career he has produced classic solo songs as well as albums with Talib Kweli in the duo Black Star.

"American Pie" Singer Don McLean Arrested for Domestic Violence!!!

"It's my my, Miss American Pie, drove my Chevy to the Levy but the Levy was dry...dem good old boys were drinking whiskey and wine...." Talk about an oldie but a goodie, right? Well, the composer and singer of that oldie was arrested yesterday for domestic violence, Mr Don McLean in Camden Maine, which is about 80 miles north of Portland Maine. Don resides in Camden along with his wife, Patrisha. Don likes doing concerts for various local charities and his wife likes holding parties in her rose garden. The police have not released any further details about the incident. So we don't know if Patrisha is the victim or if it is someone else in their home? Everyone in town is really shocked about news of Don's arrest and especially because it was for domestic violence. Don was released on $10,000.00 bond and is expected in court on Feb 22nd to answer for these charges. Don looks at hot ass mess in his mug shot, right? He looks every day and then some of his 70 yrs. I bet he drinks! Right? Tsk tsk tsk tsk. hahahaha

Tina Simpson with Son in law Eric Johnson, vacationing in Mexico.

Jessica Simpson, her hubby, Eric Johnson, mother Tina, and other family members are vacationing in Mexico celebrating Tina's 56th birthday. Well, Tina and Eric were lounging by the pool and decided to pose for pictures, one of which she posted to her Instagram, take a look and tell me what you think? Is Tina and Eric knocking boots on the QT? This pic would definitely suggest that something unsavory is going on between the 2. Don't you agree? What is his head doing between her legs? If my mother were still alive, my husband better not ever pose for a pic like this or else, he wont be my husband for very long afterwards.

Bobbi Kristina Brown's Hospice "Nurse" Isn't a Nurse Afterall!!!

Bobbi Kristina Brown

Wow, the hits just keep on coming for this family. Turns out, the "nurse" who treated the late Bobbi Kristina Brown while in the Peachtree Christian Hospice is not a nurse after all. The fake nurse, Taiwo Sabowomo, (Wow! Now that's a jacked up name!!! hahahaha) has been hit with multiple criminal charges, including nursing without a license, a spokeswoman for the Gwinnett County, Georgia, sheriff’s department told TheWrap on Tuesday.

In all, Taiwo Sobamowo was hit with six charges, including four charges of practicing registered nursing without a license, possessing false identification documents and financial identity fraud, the latter is a felony.

Bobbi Kristina Brown, the daughter of the late Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, died at age 22 in July, after being found unresponsive in the bathtub of her Georgia home on Jan. 31, 2015.

Now, I want to know when the Gwinnett County Police are going to arrest Nick Gordon, Bobbi's boyfriend for her murder and the murder of her mother Whitney. I bet Beverly Hills Detectives aren't even investigating Whitney's death. So sad.

Former Olympic Skier Picabo Street Arrested for Assaulting Father!!!

Former Winter Olympic Skier Picabo Street, was arrested after an argument turned physical and she threw her father, Roland Street down some stairs. Roland was pulling out of the driveway and bumped the house, this made Picabo mad and she started screaming at her father. So he gets out of the car and goes back into the house, Picabo's house. The argument escalated and Picabo claims that Roland pulled her hair yanking clumps of it out. She then threw him down the basement stairs and locked him down there. She then called 911 to explain what happened. And in the background, you hear her mother say, "why did you attack your father?" Picabo overspeaks her and says, "He scratched my face and yanked clumps of my hair out. Did you see how much hair he pulled out?" However, once the police got there, they arrested her not him. And so she is now facing assault charges. Nice mug shot bitch. Maybe you shouldn't throw old men down stair cases, eh? hahahaha
Picabo is expected to plead not guilty on Feb 16, the next court appearance.

Celine Dion's Husband, Rene Angelil, Dead at 73 Yrs!

Awww, this is so sad and a bit surprising. Celine Dion's husband, Rene Angelil passed away today from complications of throat cancer, he was just 73 yrs old. Rene and Celine met when she was 12 yrs old and he soon became her manager and mentor. In 1987 their relationship turned romantic. They got engaged in 1991 and married in December 1994 at Notre-Dame Basillica in Montreal Quebec. Celine wore a beautiful portrait neckline ball gown with an extremely heavy beaded head piece that weighed about 30 lbs. The couple just recently celebrated their 21 st wedding anniversary. I thought he was on the mend, because she had gone back to work in Las Vegas.

Angélil was first diagnosed with throat cancer in 1999. In 2014, Dion took an indefinite leave of absence from her Las Vegas residency to care for Angélil -- who underwent surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from his throat in December 2013 -- after his second cancer diagnosis.

"René Angélil passed away this morning at his home in Las Vegas after a long and courageous battle against cancer," his rep said in a statement on Thursday. "The family requests that their privacy be respected at the moment; more details will be provided at a later time."

Angélil died of throat cancer at his home in Henderson while under the care of a physician, the Clark County Office of the Coroner also confirmed in a statement on Thursday.

"We have determined Mr. Angélil's death was due to natural causes," John Fudenberg, Clark County coroner, said. "No further investigation into his death is expected."

Rest in peace Rene. Rene is survived by his wife of 21 yrs, Celine and their 3 children (together), I believe Rene has other children from a previous marriage.

America's Next Top Model Lives On Again, on VH1....Will Tyra Banks Still Be the Host?

Tyra Banks and Miss J Alexander, the runway coach from ANTM.

Oh wait! America's Next Top Model might be cancelled on the CW, but VH1 has picked it up or a series similar to it. Okay, here is the lowdown. The CW cancelled ANTM after 22 seasons because it is an expensive show to produce because the Host Tyra Banks gets a GIANT salary. Well, Ken Mok, the producer who with ANTM from jump street started shopping around a show similar to ANTM late last year saying it was Top Model search show. Well, VH1 jumped at it. Now, Tyra's Fab Life show got cancelled too. So no one knows yet, who the judges are for the VH1 show and if Tyra will host it. I'm kind of done with Tyra so I don't care if she stays or goes. There are other super models out there who could host this show. Hey Naomi Campbell, what'cha doin' gurl? Need a gig? I just hope that fat bitch Kelly Catrone doesn't come back as a judge. I hate her rude fat ass!!! I think Mr J and Miss J both should be on the show. Mr J could host like he does in Canada.Okay!!! Well, alright then. hahahahaha

Former Backstreet Boys Singer, Nick Carter Arrested After Florida Bar Brawl!!!

Ooops, looks like someone has fallen off of the wagon like hell of hard. Former Backstreet Boys singer, Nick Carter, 35 yrs old is back drinking again and getting into trouble. Nick and his friend, Michael Rae Papayans, were refused service because they were already drunk at the Hog's Breath Saloon in Key West Florida by the bartender there. Well, they got mad and Nick grabbed a bouncer by the throat and Michael head butted another one of the bouncers who had repeatedly asked them to leave. The police were called and both Nick and Michael were arrested.

Wow, Nick had been doing so well. He had been to rehab and gotten off of the booze and drugs. He got married and he and his wife are expecting their first child. And Nick came in 2nd on DWTS this past season. Dang! He had everything going for him until this. Sigh! Oh well, some people aren't happy unless they are miserable. Was it worth it, Nick?  I sure hope so. He's probably going to charged with disorderly conduct and assault. But he's rich and white, so he'll probably not get any serious jail time. Maybe just weekends and some community service. hahahaha

Actor Alan Rickman, Dead at 69 Yrs!

Actor and director Alan Rickman, who portrayed the notorious villain Hans in the original "Die Hard" film has passed early this morning from complications from cancer; he was just 69 yrs old. Alan acted both in films and on stage, another of his notable roles was as Professor Snape in the Harry Potter films.

Although Rickman would never win an Oscar, he would add to his BAFTA win for Robin Hood with a Golden Globe, and a Screen Actors Guild Award.

On stage, however, he was arguably more celebrated, breaking through in Les Liaisons Dangereuses, for which he would earn a Tony nomination in 1986. Other standout roles included playing Mark Antony alongside Helen Mirren’s Cleopatra in London, and in Noel Coward’s Private Lives, which would transfer to Broadway from the West End. He also directed the award-winning 2005 play My Name is Rachel Corrie about the American student who was killed by an Israeli Defense Force bulldozer in the Gaza Strip.

Rest in peace, Alan. 

RHOA Reality Star Sheree Whitfield Sues Insurance Company and Gets Sued by Contractor!!!

And the hits just keep coming. Real Housewives of Atlanta reality star Sheree Whitfield sues her insurance company over payments made on a claim for water damage at never ending "Chateau Sheree" mega mansion in Sandy Springs, Georgia. A pipe had burst in the house which has been under construction for FIVE YEARS!!! I don't think this house will ever be completed. The house has been delayed over and over again due to financial issues (Sheree is a broke ass bitch) and over construction delays. Contractors don't work for free and will stop construction if you stop making payments. hahahaha So Shere wasn't happy with the monies that the insurance company paid on the claim and now she is suing for nearly $280,000.00. However, Sheree's contractor sued her for $23,000.00. When Sheree was on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen the other day, she said this house was only 10,000 sqr ft, but in this article, they state that the house is 15,000 sqr feet. Well either way, it is too much house for Sheree's broke ass. hahahahaha

Actor Charlie Sheen Stops HIV Meds and Seeks Treatment in Mexico!!!....BIG Mistake!!!!

Actor Charlie Sheen has stopped taking all of his HIV meds, we call that taking a "drug holiday" and he is now seeking alternative treatment in Mexico with some quack named Dr. Sam Chachoua (who is not licensed to practice in the United States). Charlie made this announcement when he appeared on the Dr. Oz show the other day. Charlie was having his viral load tested weekly, that's too often. And he had been undectable for quit some time. However, since stopping his "drug cocktail", his virus is no longer in abatement and it is replicating again. So now he is detectable. He didn't say how much, but just the fact that his virus is detectable is bad. The more virus you have in your blood, the more chances it has to infect healthy cells and destroy them. If, I, were Charlie, I would go back on my "drug cocktail" immediately!!!!!! I wonder what his T-cell count is, too? Charlie is only 4 yrs in, I am 20 yrs 4 months in. I am undetectable, thank God. I cant go on "drug holidays", my virus is very strong and if I stop my meds, it will put me in the hospital within a week. There is NOT a miracle cure in Mexico or anywhere else. IF, it was, I would be where ever it was begging, burrowing, or stealing it!!! Charlie is grasping at straws. What he needs to do is talk to a professional, go back on his "cocktail" and start doing his bucket list.

RHOBH Reality Star Files for Divorce!

We saw this coming a long time ago. Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reality star Yolanda Foster Files for divorce from estranged mega rich husband David Foster. That's right folks THE David Foster the music producer, who has worked with such greats as Tony Bennett, Mary J. Blige, Tina Turner, and the legendary late Whitney Houston. You know that you have made it in the music industry when you can afford to hire David Foster to produce one of your tracks. Yolanda was apparently mush less impressed with him as a husband, however. She cited that good old standby for the divorce, irreconcilable differences. Yolanda is seeking spousal support, I bet she is! hahahaha Tsk tsk tsk tsk. hahahaha
