| Posted: 03 Jul 2013 03:44 PM PDT While ABC's "Scandal" is on hiatus, its leading lady, Kerry Washington, has caused a scandal of her own by marrying San Francisco 46ners cornerback Ezenwa Nnamdi Asomugha. See their wedding certificate inside....
With a storyline straight out of her hit tv series, "Scandal", E! News confirms that Hollywood royalty, Kerry Washington, quietly wed 31-year-old San Francisco 49ers cornerback Ezenwa Nnamdi Asomugha on June 24 in Hailey, Idaho. A rep from the county clerk's office told US Weekly,
ABC News reports that Kerry's parents Earl and Valerie Washington signed the license as witnesses to the nuptials and Chisaraokwu Asomugha officiated the ceremony. Sports gossip site TerezOwens.com was the first to report the nuptials, saying, "We just received word that actress Kerry Washington has married NFL player Nnamdi Asomugha." 31-year-old Nnamdi, 31, is a three-time Pro Bowler, who played for the Oakland Raiders and the Philadelphia Eagles before signing with the 49ers this year. Though the couple had been dating since last summer, their relationship was very "under the radar" and the marriage comes as a shock to most of Kerry's fans. Previously, Kerry was engaged to actor David Moscow for three years until they parted ways in 2007. A rep for Washington told ABC News, “I don’t comment on my client’s personal life.” And Nnamdi's rep said, “We don’t comment on our clients’ personal lives.” Kerry is currently on the cover of Vanity Fair's August 2013 issue. Congrats Kerry!

| CHARGED! 50 Cent ACCUSED Of DOMESTIC ABUSE! Plus....He's Got A NEW (Secret) Baby Mama! (UPDATE) Posted: 03 Jul 2013 02:29 PM PDT Rapper 50 Cent has been brought up on charges of domestic violence. Oh, and we just learned he has a brand new secret baby mama! And SHE's the victim. Get the deets on the incident inside.... The L.A. City Attorney's office has charged "In Da Club" rapper 50 Cent with 1 count of domestic violence and 4 counts of misdemeanor vandalism against a female victim whom he has a "child in common." According to TMZ, on June 23, the rapper is accused of kicking his baby momma, While we're waiting for additional details to emerge, this incident isn't out of character for the rapper. You'll recall that there was a reported incident of 50's entourage trashing the office of Shaniqua's lawyer and there was suspicion around who REALLY burned down Shaniqua's home in 2008. (UPDATE) TMZ is now reporting that 50 Cent was accused of attacking former girlfriend Daphne Joy NOT Shaniqua Tompkins! Apparently. Daphne had a baby for 50 Cent last fall and WE MISSED IT! And for his part, 50 Cent has NEVER acknowledged having a second child. SMH. When TMZ asked baby momma #1, Shaniqua Tompkins for a comment, she told TMZ that she DID NOT files charges against 50. Hmmmm. That only leaves Daphne in the mix....and we know she lives in Toluca Lake, Ca (just like the accuser)! We'll keep you posted.

| Posted: 03 Jul 2013 10:07 AM PDT Samuel Jackson and Magic Johnson were spotted on vacation together with their families on the Island of Capri recently. See the vacay pics inside and see what other famous celebrity couple they joined them inside....
Once again, the Jacksons & The Johnsons are taking their YBF Hollywood royalties on vacay together. Reasonable Doubt actor Samuel Jackson was spotted on vacation on the island of Capri yesterday. And we love it. The actor missed Sunday night's 2013 BET Awards after he hosted them last year, but his Twitter followers informed him that Jamie Foxx beat him out and won the award for Best Actor. Sam responded, "Wait...what happened?.....I lost something else....again? Really? Was I supposed to win? WHAT HAPPENED?? What Award?? Ohhhhh, sah ite!!" Ha!
Sam and his wife LaTanya (not pictured) weren't alone on their trip to the beautiful island. Actress Holly Robinson Peete and her husband Rodney were also there. Samuel and LaTanya were also joined by their constant travel companions, fellow super rich folks Magic and Cookie Johnson. You'll recall that we spotted the couples on vacation together in Portofino, Italy a short while ago. During their stroll, the couples were seen shopping at Prada and seen signing a few autographs along the way. Magic tweeted, "I didn't realize Italians love basketball just as much as we do in the US. Almost everyone in Capri lined up to take a picture with me!"
After their afternoon stroll, the couples boarded a private yacht for lunch. And Holly & Cookie snapped a pic at their stop in Positano, Italy:
Must be real nice...
