| BUSTED: Mimi Faust EXPOSES Stevie J. And Joseline Hernadez's FAKE ENGAGEMENT?! Posted: 25 Jul 2012 09:53 AM PDT
Though "L&HHATL" star Joseline Hernandez is now sporting a ring (pictured above) and playing coy about her alleged engagement, co-star (and Stevie's baby moms) Mimi Faust recently revealed that the "couple" isn't getting married! Deets inside..... Mimi Faust called into TT Torrez's Power 105.1 radio show recently where she dished on her baby daddy and his side piece. Is Joseline even a SIDE piece anymore? This triangle is beyond confusing and disturbing. Mimi revealed that she learns more and more about baby daddy Stevie J on Monday nights at the same time the fans do. She added that she met Joseline right before taping and had no knowledge about the extent of her relationship with Stevie J. In fact, she said that still to this day, "He tells me that's just his artist. We getting money." Figures. So if Joseline's just his artist, how did she end up pregnant with Stevie's baby? Mimi said Stevie explained, "It happened. I'm sorry." And when asked if Stevie J. and Joseline were getting married, a very animated Mimi said, "Oh God come on....stop it!" Weirdly, when asked if she would ever go back to Stevie J., she didn't give an answer. Our sympathy can only go so far....
Mimi addresses the engagement at (15:44):
And speaking of the ring, Joseline gave a recent interview where she dodged the question of engagement. Being very mysterious, she said fans should keep watching "...so they can see what's going on. You keep watching...you'll find out."
Joseline talks about the ring at (2:05): |
| 57 & STILL Killin' It! Happy Birthday Iman! Posted: 25 Jul 2012 09:06 AM PDT
Supermodel Iman turns 57 today. Celebrate with the timeless beauty inside.....
Because she looks just as fabulous as she did when she first appeared on the fashion scene in the 70's, it's hard to believe that Iman is turning 57! As a retail and cosmetics mogul, she's taken high fashion and put it within reach of the everyday fashionista. The mom and wife has inspired legions of pretty brown girls (and all girls really) with her success and humanitarian acts. And she's living proof how black doesn't crack. Celebrate with Iman in the gallery........ HAVE A MODELICIOUS BIRTHDAY IMAN! |
| WINE & DINE: LeToya Luckett & Wendy Williams Hit Mr. Chow Posted: 25 Jul 2012 08:31 AM PDT Pretty gal LeToya Luckett is living it up in L.A. while working on her album. And is spending time with her girls while her rumored boo Kevin Durant is overseas preparing for the Olympics. We've got pics of the singer hitting up Mr. Chow with Wendy Williams and her hubby inside... Lolts of YBF folks decided to hit up Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills last night. And YBF chick LeToya Luckett rocked a cute look while grabbing dinner with friends. Tamar Braxton and Alfonso Ribeiro and his new fiancee were also there, so maybe it was one big happy dinner party:
Wendy ws spotted arriving with her husband Kevin:
She signed a few autographs in her hot pink pointy pumps. She's likely spending her "Wendy Show" hiatus making moves in the Hollywood world for tv and movie jobs. Not mad at that. Pics: WENN/SPLASH |

| CANDID GALS: Angela Simmons Flaunts Her Jeweled Bikini + Halle & Nahla Make A Lollipop Run Posted: 25 Jul 2012 06:56 AM PDT Angela Simmons spent her afternoon yesterday back on the beach in Miami rocking a jeweled bikini from her sister Vanessa's Rose by Vanessa swimsuit line. Check the pics, plus how Halle Berry & daughter Nahla spent their afternoon with some painting and a lollipop....
With her beach body on full display, Angela Simmons flaunted her cakes in a cute black and silver strapless jeweled bikini yesterday.
Of course, she's supporting her sister Vanessa by rocking a piece from her swimsuit line that was just debuted this week at Miami Fashion Week Swim. Angela tweeted that she's been working out like crazy to achieve her goal. Lookin' good Ange!
Meanwhile, over in Cali, Halle Berry spent the afternoon with her 4-year-old daughter Nahla at Color Me Mine in Beverly Hills as the gals painted some ceramics:
And it looks like somebody was super excited about that lollipop she copped afterwards. Nahla's growing up fast! And is ridiculously cute. Glad to see Halle's fully recovered from her on-set accident last week. Pics: SPLASH |

Rapper Lil' Scrappy is pissy that "L&HHATL" is making him look like a deadbeat dad and he wants it to stop. Get the deets inside...........
Lil' Scrappy was apparently upset about how he was depicted on Monday's "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" where he asked his baby momma Erica Dixon to take him off child suport. We don't know why he wants to be taken off, or what situation could have even merited the question, but here's what he tweeted fans today, "I know y'all feel one way but I feel another u don't know wut go on behind the cam. Man just for that lying an actin on #LHHATL again I'm def gone drop the bomb on the reunion about this. I done always took care of mine." He added, "We turnt up but just kn(o)w every action has a reaction, y'all r just catchin my reaction to some that happen that u didn't c but f**k it. Aint nobody walkinn out squeeky baby an(d) I can't wait til yall knw,yean gne slander me like I aint been the one providing." So.....does Erica Dixon have some dirt that Lil' Scrappy plans to reveal? Erica responded to the threat saying, "I'm happy and I want you to be happy too Lil Scrappy, I wish you much success and happiness." Sigh...........catch the next dramatic episode on Monday night at 8 p.m. on VH1.
Watch Lil' Scrappy and Erica's conversation from Monday night: |

In the latest development in the Jackson compound hoopla, reports say, before the cops were called to the house yesterday for "battery" allegations, it was Trent Jackson who punched and head locked Randy & Jermaine. And it was Paris Jackson who got slapped...by Janet.... Reports says what we saw on the surveillance video earlier today was a big family spat. All before somebody in the house called the cops. Paris got slapped and cursed out by Janet, even though, supposedly, Randy, Janet & Jermaine had gone to the house to take Paris and her brothers to Arizona, where Katherine is "resting". Paris wasn't feeling it because she tried to avoid Janet. So this is what reportedly went down according to TMZ:
Meanwhile, Tito just stated he's backing out of the plot to overthrow Michael's estate that he and his siblings agreed to. You know that letter they all wrote and signed last week and sent to CNN saying Michael's will is "fake" and Katherine had a mini-stroke? Not sure who--but somebody is creating some lying foolishness around that Compound.

| William Balfour--Murderer In The Jennifer Hudson Family Case--Gets 3 Consecutive LIFE Sentences Posted: 24 Jul 2012 01:16 PM PDT
William Balfour has finally been sentenced after being convicted of killing Jennifer Hudson's mother, brother-in-law, and nephew. Details inside.... After a long 4 years of seeking justice for the death of her family members, today justice was served. Chicago's Cook County Judge Charles Burns handed down three consecutive life sentences for the murders and 120 years for the additional felonies of home invasion and aggravated kidnapping. Balfour's life sentence comes with no option of parole. Jennifer, her sister Julia and her slain nephew Julian's father Gregory were all in the courtroom at the time of the sentencing today, and were tearful as this chapter came to a close. According to the Chicago Tribune, Balfour had the audacity to give a statement to the court saying:
The judge didn't take kindly to this statement and rebutted:
A member of Balfour's family burst into tears and ran out of the courtroom.
Hopefully Jennifer and her family now have a least a bit of closure. |

The saga continues at the Jackson compound in Calabassas. While pics have hit the net showing Katherine Jackson, the sole caregiver for Paris, Blanket & Prince, is doing "fine" in Arizona with daughter Rebbie, Paris is still popping off about being kept away from her grandmother. Things have gotten extra fishy around Katherine's mysterious trip. Details and video inside... While Jermaine and Katherine's other kids maintain that Mrs. Jackson is not in any danger, Paris and the executors of Michael Jackson's estate are telling the public they don't believe it. And they do believe she's been kidnapped by her children. Sigh. Why would this be the case? The executors believe, according to reports, that Katherine is the window to the children--who stand to inherit a hefty amount of money based on the will Michael left. Supposedly, none of Michael's sisters or brothers were included, So certain people may be trying to create access to the children to get their part of the money in some way. If that's not confusing enough, Paris has taken to twitter as of a few hours ago to say she still hasn't seen/heard from her grandmother. And she's ready to take action as it's been 9 days. Here's a series of tweets from Paris--including one from her cousin:
Her cousin TJ (Tito Joe Jackson), who is the son of Michael's brother Tito, has filed papers to take over being the kids' temporary guardian. And since all 3 kids are supposedly on board, a judge may just grant it to him. Meanwhile, here's some interesting footage from the surveillance cameras outside the Calabassas home of the Jacksons. Janet and Randy can be seen trying to take Paris' phone from her (after they make a calm and seemingly loving arrival hugging and kissing the kids). And it leads to a slight scuffle and Janet and Randy filming the kids for some reason.
This could very well be a playful situation as there's no sound and we can't tell. But is it more? Hours later, the LAPD were called out to the house based on battery accusations. No one was arrested. |

| So Raz B's Brother Ricky Romance Is BOO'D UP With....Linda Hogan?! Posted: 24 Jul 2012 11:29 AM PDT
Well isn't this peculiar? Raz B's brother, Ricky Romance, who is always caught up in some type of random foolery, is back at it. Check out which cougar he was spotted boo'd up and lip locking with recently.... Yeah...not sure why this is happening. But wrestler Hulk Hogan's 52-year-old ex-wife Linda Hogan (now Linda Bollea) is Ricky Romance's new boo. Or something. And he's only a little more than half her age. Linda actually just ended a relationship with another 20-something year old guy as well.
The two were caught out at a restaurant/lounge recently looking very close. They claim to be just friends as Ricky said last month Linda would be appearing in his new video. (What video....and why?) But this looks to be a bit more than that. If they like it....
