PILAR SANDERS: I DO NOT Want To Talk With Deion's Mistresses, I've Given NO Statements About Divorce!

Posted: 08 Mar 2012 05:19 AM PST

Pilar Sanders is a bit pissy.  And she believes the media has turned against her with nothing but false statements about her ugly divorce with Deion Sanders, allegedly coming from her/her team, that she says she's never made.

 

Check out what she's saying now from her own mouth....

From the initial divorce announcement & Pilar's reaction to all of the fall out from Deion's kids and Pilar being forced out the house--Mrs. Sanders says she hasn't given any statements about all the divorce hoopla from the past few months.  Except for her initial (and only) one.

The most recent development in Deion & Pilar's divorce drama is that Pilar supposedly wanted to speak to and bring Deion's alleged mistresses like Tracey Edmunds into the proceedings. Now she says she never made this request.

Check out what Pilar recently had to say about it all herself--sent to us from her rep--below:

Normally, I do not respond to media comments, statements or stories. However, several different sources have contacted me regarding TMZ’s latest posting, that I wanted to speak with the mistresses my husband has been secretly involved with behind my back...let me be clear…that is utterly ridiculous and couldn't be further from the truth!!!! I have absolutely and unequivocally no interest, time or desire to be a part of the media mayhem circulating about my divorce. I've only made ONE statement period! My statement was in response to receiving divorce papers that my husband gave to me Sept. 22, 2011 but were not officially filed. My statement was as follows:

“It’s unfortunate that my husband decided to take this course of action…I’m surprised and hurt… As I said to my children, we must take a minute breath and Trust God.”

So, like a lot of untruths that are floating around by numerous media/social outlets, I have NOT given any personal statements and/or comments about my pending divorce. Believe half of what you read and less than half of what you hear.
I have remained silent throughout my entire divorce nightmare. Despite the personal attacks and pathetic LIES that have spread like the plague. I have NOT nor have any need to run to the media. I believe if we all can step back and look at THE situation for what it really IS... THE TRUE MEDIA SEEKING stand out all by themselves loud and very clear. I have NOT done interviews, radio shows, Tweeted or Facebooked to convince anyone of my life. My Focus has and always will be on my children guarding, guiding and equipping them for the now and the future! I am not seeking fans blinded by skits, a bright smile or delusional acts of grandeur. My battle is solely being fought and justified in THE COURTROOM (where it belongs) NOT through the media airwaves. Above all else, my position of trusting my God has never wavered nor faltered.

When I do decide to speak on my divorce, there will be NO questions, second-guessing or need of hearsay. I have God given strength to stand and fight for what I believe is right and only the truth will prevail.

Eddie George Riding In Passenger Seat With Another Woman--Who Copped A DUI!

Posted: 07 Mar 2012 04:43 PM PST

Well this is interesting.  Former NFL star Eddie George--the husband of Tamara "Taj" George from singing group SWV--was caught up in a recent DUI.  But he wasn't the culprit.  A pro-golfing blonde was.

 

Deets inside...

21-year-old Rachel Connor--a pro-golfer from the UK who is here in America on a visa--was arrested at 2:21AM this morning in Sarasota, Florida for a DUI.  And, according to TMZ, a man identified as 38-year-old Eddie George was in the passenger seat.  Eddie didn't get arrested, only Rachel.

Her topmost breathalyzer registered at .137, way over the .08 legal limit.  Rachel claimed she only had 2 vodka cranberries earlier in the night.  But cops said she couldn't walk a straight line or count in numerical order.  She was also cheesing extra hard in her mugshot.

Rachel twitpic'd the above picture several hours before of herself (on far left), Eddie and a friend at an event.  And another pic of them together on a golf course.  So it was likely some type of celebrity golf event.   And apparently Eddie needed a ride back to his hotel? 

Were not sayin'.  But we're just sayin'....

 

Fun Fact: Eddie & Taj have a marriage book they penned together that was just released last month called "Married for Real: Building a Loving, Powerful Life Together."  *eyebrows raised*

On Kanye’s new womenswear line: “It looks really, really great. The quality of it is really good and you can see that he’s grown since his last show.”

On meeting Shyne during Paris Fashion Week: “He is one of the nicest people, just like Rick Ross, and down-to-earth. I like when people have very little words when they speak. When they say something, it means something. They’re not just talking to hear themselves talk.”

On her rumored romantic relationship with Bad Boy boss Diddy: “I choose to say that I don’t talk about my personal life, but he is one of my very good friends.”

On her sophomore album title: “Electro Love is no longer the name of the album. I switched it. I’m gonna announce it on my website.”

On whether Nicki Minaj will appear on the album: “Possibly,” she said before Westwood responded, “That means yes.”

On reconnecting with Ryan Leslie, who produced her debut: “I still haven’t worked with him on this album, but we did meet and he heard my new music. I’m still open to do something ’cause we’re not done until we’re done with it.”

 

And in Washington, DC.....

Nick Cannon spoke during a Congressional Briefing on Protecting Children and Teen Online Privacy at the Rayburn House Office Building today in Washington, DC.

LaLa Anthony COVERS "LATINA" Magazine, Says She TRUSTS Carmelo And Gives Him Space

Posted: 07 Mar 2012 11:05 AM PST

 

 

In a spring ready colorful spread, LaLa Anthony covers the April 2012 issue of "LATINA" Magazine where she dishes on keeping her marriage fresh and the trust she and husband Carmelo Anthony share.  She also offers helpful advice on building confidence and self-esteem.  See the highlights inside...

In the latest issue of "LATINA" Magazine, LaLa Anthony talks about her new makeup line, her reality show, being a mother to 5-year-old Kiyan and loving her NBA baller husband Carmelo Anthony.   even offers advice to the next generation about self-esteem and fighting insecurity.  Here are the highlights:


On how she and Carmelo have lasted 8 years


“It’s been 15 days since I’ve seen my husband. That’s a long time for us to go without seeing each other. But I went on this whirlwind of launching the makeup line and my husband’s a basketball player. It’s not like he can say, ‘Hey, I’m not playing in the game today, I’m going to meet up with my wife somewhere.’ We’ve been together for eight years and I think we’ve lasted this long because we give each other space.  But there’s also that time where it can be too much space.”

On being successful and having it all

“I’m never satisfied—career-wise, I mean—I’m always looking for the next thing; that’s just my personality,” she says. “Why can’t I be a great mom, wife, TV host, actress, producer, have my own reality show and makeup line? The hard part is the balancing of it all.”

On trusting her husband Carmelo

“I wouldn’t say it’s a misconception, because there are a lot of athletes who do live a certain life with women everywhere,” La La says. “So you can’t act like it’s the craziest thing you’ve ever heard, because it is out there. But I’m secure in my relationship. I’m happy with having my own thing going on. I don’t spend all day worrying about what he’s doing. In that sense, I trust him.”

On staying confident


Tap into your uniquenessss - “I encourage people to embrace whatever it is that makes them different. Not being like everybody, setting your own trends, being your own person, that’s what
makes you cool.”


On making peace with your insecurities


“In this day and age, [people will] tear you to hell: ‘Her hair, her legs, her this, her that.’ So it is sometimes hard to stay as confident as you like. I’m just like anybody else. Weight goes up and down, sometimes I’m killing myself to be on a crazy diet, sometimes I’m not. Sometimes I feel like my legs are too skinny, other times I don’t. As you get more mature you learn to embrace insecurities and figure out how to be okay with that stuff, to keep it in perspective.”

On building a great support system


“My family always encouraged me and supported me. While still a teenager, I told my mom one day I was moving to L.A.  She was like, ‘All right, I’ll go with you, get you settled and come back.’ If I didn’t have that I wouldn’t be confident to do all these things.”
