Richard Jefferson Renigs on Payoff to Jilted Ex

Remember how NBA player Richard Jefferson left his boo Kesha at the alter…I mean who could forget? Well he was supposedly going to try to ease her pain by giving her a six figure pay off. Now this jerkoff is trying to renig. As if!
Here’s what the Post is saying:
Just days after he boasted about how he intended to help Kesha Nichols ease into a fresh life without him, the former Net barred her from the Hudson Street apartment they had shared for a year — telling doormen she couldn’t even retrieve her belongings, sources said yesterday.
Jefferson — who jettisoned his July 11 wedding by e-mail — has also reneged on the six-figure settlement he told The Post he was giving Nichols, her pals say.
“She is living out of a suitcase, in a hotel,” one disgusted girlfriend said.
Regardless, Kesha has lawyered up so she can have access to the apartment and his belongings. Source
I can’t believe him. I mean, I know money wont take back his tomfoolery but damn, it woulda made me feel a little bit better.

Kim and Reggie are No More

Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush are dunzo.

"Nobody cheated. This is just a case of conflicting schedules and their lives going in different directions,” said a source.
"It was a totally mutual decision.” Source

Women EVERYWHERE are gushing (literally)…C-Rob I see you. But yea, I wonder if this has anything to do with the racism she says she had to deal with during their recent visit to Africa.

Ya know, I’d like to consider myself a fairly sane girl. Like I’m not one to go through ya phone or key your car or anything like that.

Blakka! Blakka! Blakka! Me murda fer fun! Me keeeel fer fun!

Tyrese Tells Ex to Get a Job

Tyrese and his attorney think his ex Norma should get a job.
Mark Vincent Kaplan, the attorney, said, “Ms. Gibson can and should seek employment and is lawfully employable in the United States at this time.”
Despite having a pre-nup agreement, he has “already paid $75,000 worth of respondents professional fees and costs for a marriage which lasted less than 10 months. Prior to this 10 month marriage, respondent and I entered into a prenuptial agreement which resolved all issues between us, other than those pertaining to our minor child.”
He says he spends about $4000 a month on clothes, $2200 on dining out and $1900 in groceries, all this with no work lined up for 2009. Source
Sounds like they both need a job. Not that he has to give her anything more than child support but didn't Transformers pay him a pretty penny?

Jessica Biel is Controlling

Rumors that Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake are on the rocks have surfaced again. Supposedly it’s due to Jessica’s controlling ways.
“Justin had to leave dinner once because Jessica was calling him incessantly,” added the pal. “They got into a huge screaming match over the phone about how she’s always ‘checking up’ on him. She’s extremely needy and is always keeping tabs on him.
“All his friends think she’s really annoying. She’s always trying to be one of the guys. She and Justin have no chemistry.
“Justin is partying in London right now. Jessica wanted to go with him, but he wasn’t having it. He just wanted to get away with the guys. He needed his space from her.” Source
Well that’s definitely no way to keep a man. Pump your breaks honey.

Jill Scott No Longer With Son's Father

Jill Scoot who recently gave birth to a baby boy revealed to Essence.com that she is no longer with her fiancé, drummer Lil’ John
Here’s the interview:



ESSENCE.COM: Congrats on the possibility of an Emmy nod for Best TV Drama Actress! If you win you will be the first African-American woman to do so. Did you expect such acclaim or pressure?
JILL SCOTT: No pressure, but I'm excited. It's definitely something I dreamt about, and if it comes to fruition then that's wonderful. In regards to expecting the acclaim, I wish I was that forward thinking. We were just there doing a good job, and after the show was done we thought, Well, maybe. I am proud of the work that we did.



ESSENCE.COM: Does this Hollywood success mean your music fans won't hear your angelic voice anytime soon?

SCOTT: As much as I take a break, music never gives up on me. I have to write, sing, listen to my iPod, and that inspires me to create. It's a part of me that I don't ever want to go away, no matter what else I do, so I'd say that you can expect a new CD possibly this year, I hope.



ESSENCE.COM: Congrats to you on your new bundle of joy, Jett Hamilton. How has motherhood been treating you?

SCOTT: Wonderful. I named him after a black gemstone that my makeup artist in Africa had; it was simply called Jet, and I fell in love with it and the name because I thought my beautiful baby is a gem. I truly loved being pregnant and feeling what was going on inside my body and watching it change. It's difficult to recoup but still amazing nonetheless. I would have another one.



ESSENCE.COM: Well, at least your hubby-to-be was there to support. How has he been adjusting to Jett?
SCOTT: Yes, he was there and for a couple of days afterwards while I stayed in hospital, but John and I are no longer together. When you have a baby you're dealing with a lot of emotions and I don't know how much of it had to do with us breaking up, but it happens. We definitely love our son and we are co-parenting and working on being friends. It is what it is. I have a lot of support, so I want for nothing as far as that's concerned. I know some might criticize me or the fact that my son is being raised in a single-parent home, but I wasn't raised in a two-parent home and I had a good relationship with my dad. I have hopes for him and I'm sure his father will do his part as well.Source

Money or not, being a single mother is hard. I hope John doesn’t drop the ball with this one…or the three others that he has.

Bey and Solo's Parents are Dunzo?

According to the site destinyschildrumors.com, Tina and Matthew Knowles are dunzo and have been for a while. Here’s a letter a reader sent in.
Hi Soulgirl
My mother is a friend of Tina Knowles. They often go to the same nail/hair salon together and catch up whenever Tina is in town. Tina told my mother that her and Mathew have been separated for at least a year now and are living in different homes even though they have kept their main house.
Tina spends all her time running around after Beyonce and Solange and focusing on the clothing line which has kept her busy through the separation. You won’t see them getting divorced anytime soon and they also remain dedicated to supporting both of their daughters. Mathew’s narrowmindness and lies have seen Tina turn her back on him and his dealings. She will always love Mathew but she can no longer live in his controlling ways. Source
I can believe it. There’s something about Matthew’s control issues that I find a little scary.

Morgan Having an Affair with his Step-Granddaughter?!!

Details of Morgan Freemans divorce are coming out and it’s no wonder why he wanted them to remain private. Word is that the real reason his wife wants to call it quits is because he’s been having an affair with his 27-year-old step-grand daughter since she was a teen.
Morgan’s wife Myrna raised her granddaughter E’Dena Hines and Morgan has apparently been sleeping with her since she was 17.
"Myrna said E'dena told her that when she was a teenager, she and Morgan went to dinner at a friend's house one evening. Both had been drinking, and when they returned home, Morgan attempted to have sex with her. They stopped just short of having intercourse," the source revealed. "E'Dena explained to Myrna that she stopped Morgan from going any further."
Morgan said he’d leave her alone after he was confronted by his wife but he’s maintained a close relationship with the young woman for years and even brought her to several events.
"Nobody thought anything of it, because she would be introduced as his 'granddaughter,'" The family insider said. "It's not technically incest, because they are not related by blood...[but] Morgan is trying desperately to keep his divorce out of open court so all the shameful facts won't become public."
Um, this is totally disgusting to me. I know they’re not blood but when this whole thing started she was just a young girl and he’s an old ass man. Ilk!

Usher Files for Divorce

Usher Raymond and wife Tameka Foster-Raymond have been married less than two years, have two children and are apparently calling it quits. Usher’s been seen recently with some mystery woman and hasn’t been seen publically with his wife in months.
"Usher's primary concern is for his children," a source said. "He is a great father and just wants to do what is right for them." Source
I think that plastic surgery she had and didn’t tell him about that almost killed her was the last straw. Since then I haven’t seen them together at all and Usher hasn’t been too keen on wearing his wedding ring.

Kelis Airs out Nas Via Twitter

Kelis takes to the internet to address cheating husbands. Kelis, who is currently divorcing Nas, the father of her unborn child, talked to cheating husbands in a post on Twitter. Here’s some of the things she wrote:

“This lovely day I would like to touch on cheaters. ... Why be cowardly, why not go after what you really want? Do people know what they want? Probably not, which just goes into know and respecting one's self."

"Also we can discuss whores, I mean the nasty, sub-par tricks that participate in the cheating. Well let me say this, both parties are gross. And in reality they deserve each other."

"All the scumbag coward husbands and the less than impressive sluts unite! You can all go down in flames together! Hooray! Who's disgusted and bitter? LOL, not I said the cat! Wink wink."

"No seriously I have no [patience] for any of it, but the problem is women usually blame the women. I am here to say the husband is way more at fault. Now of course the woman/women who partake are stupid and pitiful. And honestly I will say it’s expected from younger girls 23 and under."

"But after that I do think as women we need to take more responsibility. Men are driven by something different than we are. And that's generally stupidity. Don't worry, we still love you guys. We just have to be smarter." Sounds

I always recommend taking the higher road …however, it feels so good to call folks on their nonsense, no?
