Allen Iverson’s Wife Calls It Quits!

Last week I told you Allen Iverson decided to leave the Philadelphia 76ers indefinitely due to the illness of his 4 year-old daughter. Well if that’s not enough, Iverson’s wife Tawanna,  just announced that she’s packing her bags and wants a divorce…DAMN!

Tawanna filed a petition on Tuesday stating that her 8 1/2-year marriage was “irretrievably broken”. Plus Tawanna wants “temporary and permanent custody of their five children as well as child support and alimony.”

When it rains…it POURS! Hmm…but are we really shocked? “Irretrievably broken” usually means someone cheated. It’s no secret that Iverson’s been dipping his biscotti in everyone’s coffee cup. I’m just wondering why she decided to finally leave him NOW?!

Beyonce & Jay-Z Packing Their Bags

Jay Z and Beyonce are officially leaving New York.

I told you weeks ago that Beyonce was on the verge of signing a $300 million, 3 year deal with Las Vegas’ Wynn casino. Well now we hear that the deal is all but completed, and if everything goes according to plans it will be announced early next year.

Under the terms of the deal, Beyonce will have to perform two to three times a week at the casino. And that means that her and Jay Z will have to set up a permanent residence in Sin City.

They’re not wasting any time doing so, either. According to our insiders, Jay and Beyonce are currently house hunting in Vegas as we speak. They even looked at one 10,000 square foot mansion just down the street from boxer Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

Gotta admit, it’ll be kinda strange having Jay Z in Vegas instead of New York. I guess baby bottles and dirty diapers will have to wait a few more years. Beyonce can’t be pregnant and strutting her stuff across a Vegas stage.

Tiger Woods: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

Over the weekend 4 more women came forward claiming sexual trysts with Tiger Woods- making a grand total of six and counting!!

They all have a few commonalities, each is considered a “party girl” by associates, most are cocktail waitresses in casinos, all are white women, and ALL of them are milking the publicity!

Jesper Parnevik, the golf associate who introduced Tiger to his wife Elin, spoke to the press this weekend saying ” I have lost all respect for him as a man and as a father.”

Meanwhile, Rachel Uchitel, the woman whose text started this whole thing, is upset with Tiger over his other sexual relationships. Friends say she was none too happy when she first heard about other women whom the golf great may have been seeing. “Rachel was mad at Tiger when she found out about the other girls and did not speak to him for three days, but he texted her…She is telling friends that he doesn’t blame her for this all getting out.”

The source adds, “Rachel has strong feelings for Tiger. She was very into him – much more than other famous guys she was into. She started out for sport and then they clicked.”

Where does SHE get off being upset??? YOUR THE SIDE CHICK, Play your position.

Meanwhile, a number of blogs are blasting Saturday Night Live’s Tiger Woods skit, which poked fun at reports that his wife, Elin Nordegren, attacked him before that infamous car crash. Do you think this was insensitive? especially since Rihanna — a victim of physical abuse earlier this year — was the musical guest?

Tiger Woods Wife Stays For the Money

Elin Nordgren will continue to play Tiger Woods’ dutiful wife — for a price!!

The Daily Beast reports that the unfaithful billionaire golfer and his wife are renegotiating their pre-nup. She’ll get an immediate five-million-dollar payout and as much as 55-million to stay by her man for two more years. The original pre-nup was worth 20-mil after 10 years of marriage. The couple, who is reportedly in “intense marriage counseling” sessions, was married in 2004.

But the cash comes with a stipulation. A lawyer familiar with the negotiations tells The Daily Beast that Elin must “be a dutiful wife in showing up with him at social events and in public as if they were still the perfect couple, and sign a nondisclosure form that will prevent her from ever telling her story.” (the other shoe just dropped)

$55 million dollars is an EXCELLENT reason to stay with Tiger. Forget what ya heard!!? Who among you wouldn’t do a 2 year bid for $55 million??? Some women stay married to @ssholes for 20 years and don’t get a dime. Note to Elin….2 years and counting!! Then you can sit back on a beach with a margarita and a speedo male model while you count your millions.

But some good has come of all this — you heard the Tiger Woods voicemail…now hear the Tiger Woods Voicemail Slow Jam Remix.

Update on Tiger Woods Scandal & Shaq Divorce

So as it turns out, there was an eye witness to part of Tiger Wood’s questionable car crash. The witness says:

“He had a cut on his lower lip when emergency responders and other witnesses arrived. The wound was bloody. Tiger was wearing shorts, a t-shirt and no shoes. It’s illegal in Florida to drive without shoes. Tiger was lying on the ground unconscious when EMT workers arrived. They used “pain stimulus” — a method where pressure is applied on an unconscious person to make them alert — but Tiger only briefly opened his eyes and then lost consciousness. EMTs asked Tiger’s wife, Elin Nordegren, if Tiger was taking any medications. She went in the house and brought out two pill bottles. She said she did not know when he had last taken the meds.”

Okay thats all great and everything, but can the eye witness answer the main question that EVERYONE is buzzing about?? Did Elin beat Tiger up and cause the accident or not????? Everything else is irrelevant.

Tiger Wood’s private community is up in arms and security is impenetrable! Even people who live there are being told where they can and cannot go!!! No one is allowed near the crash site and one resident who dare went too close had his camera’s memory card confiscated by security. Tiger announced earlier today that his injuries from Friday’s accident would force him to pull out of his upcoming golf tournament.

While we’re on the subject of marital discord, Shaquille O’Neal wants to teach his estranged wife Shaunie Nelson a thing or two about getting thrown out.  Shaq is trying to boot Shaunie from the ENTIRE court system in California. Shaunie filed legal papers in California earlier this month for legal separation, having moved to L.A. just days earlier. Shaq and his attorneys say  Shaunie has no right to use the California divorce courts because they are residents of Florida. (Shaunie gets half if the divorce is settles in Cali).

Tiger Woods Caught Cheating: A Woman’s Wrath

All hell broke loose over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend between Tiger Woods and his wife Elin Nordegren. From what I gather, Tiger Woods was stepping out with another woman, Elin caught wind, and tried to beat the dog devil out of him, causing him to crash into a tree. Two stories are surfacing about the incident:

Story #1
Tiger allegedly had a conversation with a friend yesterday, in which he said his wife had confronted him over reports he was involved with another woman (Rachel Uchitel) and that his wife scratched his face up during the argument. Tiger told the friend he then left the house, started driving off and his wife then came out with a golf club, striking the vehicle. Tiger then became distracted and hit the hydrant and then a nearby tree.

Story #2
The Windemere Police Department says Tiger’s wife claims she went outside, saw that her husband had struck a fire hydrant and a tree, and then went back inside the house for a golf club to use to try and extricate him from the vehicle. Both Tiger and Elin claim that the scratches on his face where caused by the car accident. However, there was no blood found on the steering wheel of Tiger’s SUV.

Tiger is now going with Elin’s story and claims that all reports of a domestic dispute between the two are false. Meanwhile, Tiger’s so called friends are still releasing info to the press. One friend says that during a phone conversation on Friday, Tiger told his friend, “I have to run to Zales to get a ‘Kobe Special.’” The person on the other end of the phone asked Tiger what a “Kobe Special” was. The reply “A house on a finger.” (referring to the ring Kobe bought Vanessa after the Colorado rape scandal.) During the conversation, Tiger also said his wife had “gone ghetto” on him.

Kourtney Kardashian’s Baby Shower Scoop

Kourtney Kardashian’s baby shower was held Saturday at the Kardashian family home in Hidden Hills, California. Mom Kris Jenner and sisters Kim and Khloe hosted the event, which included nearly 80 guests.

At the shower, guests nibbled on chocolate-covered strawberries from Studio City-based Berry Elegance, and while Kourtney loaded up on gifts, so did they!!! Each attendee received a Le Sport Sac weekender bag filled with “We Pilates “shirts and scarves; a bottle of Essie nail polish in a limited edition color called “Little Baby Dash” – a nod to the Kardashians’ Dash stores – a hand-blown glass personal tea set from Primula; a gift card from Sheila Kelley S Factor, and an Alex & Ani expandable bracelet. Now that’s what I call hospitality!

Kourtney is due in about 2 weeks.

Trey Songz Breaks up Toni Braxton’s Marriage??!!!!

After news broke that Toni Braxton and husband, Keri Lewis were getting a divorce, sources surface saying Trey Songz is the reason behind the split!!!

Apparently Toni and Trey Songz performed together at the 2009 Soul Train awards earlier this month, and after their performance the two exchanged a heated lip lock while Keri was sitting in the audience. News of the divorce broke shortly afterwards, though neither party have confirmed the reason behind the divorce.

I interviewed Toni Braxton back in September on WBLS NYC, and she eluded to problems in her marriage even then. When I asked her what inspired her single “Yesterday”, she responded “My husband, because he was almost yesterday!”  Her facial expression led me to believe that she was fed up with him for some reason or another.

Sources claim Toni orchestrated the lip lock with Trey Songz in order to send a message to her husband Keri about his rumored cheating habits.

Toni and Keri have been married for 8 years and have two children together- Denim and Deizel.

JD & Janet Jackson Stronger Than Ever

I reported this about two weeks ago, but now In Touch Magazine is also reporting that Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri are planning to wed early next year. A source close to Janet says, “everyone thought they had broke up, but Jermaine was just giving Janet space to deal with death of her brother and the two never fell out of love with one another.”

JD has brushed off the wedding rumors, but reports state they are rushing the nuptials because Janet plans to raise Michael’s three children and feels it would be best for them to have a strong father figure in their life.

Speaking of Jermaine Durpi, he threw an official party introducing his watch collection in ATL. Celebrities like Big Boi, Monica, Teyana Taylor, Lance Gross, Eva Marcille, and more came out to support….

Monique Denies Oprah/Tyler Perry Fued

Mo’ Nique, co-star of “Precious”, has dismissed reports that she is feuding with co-producers Oprah and Tyler Perry, along with director Lee Daniels. It was reported that Mo’Nique demanded thousands of dollars to walk the red carpet at various promo events for the movie, including the Toronto and New York Film Festivals.

Now sources suggest that it wasn’t Mo’Nique, but her husband/ manager, Sidney Hicks who demanded the money, pissing off Oprah. A source says that Hicks is impossible to work with and is screwing up Mo’Nique’s chance for an Academy Award, that she deserves. Mo’Nique tells sources, “There is no feud. Only mutual respect and admiration.”

Shaq’s Wife Files For Separation & Katt Williams Gets Released (Video)

Several sites are reporting that Shaquille O’Neal’s wife, Shaunie, filed legal separation papers yesterday in L.A. This comes less than a week after sources unveiled scandalous emails exchanged between Shaq and the fiance of  fellow NBA player Gilbert Arenas.   The emails elude to an affair between the two as recent as March.

The petition says although Shaunie is filing for legal separation, she intends to file for divorce. She lists “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for separation.

Shaquille’s lawyers claim the separation is all about money. They say that even though the couple lives in Florida, Shaunie chose to file for legal separation in L.A. (probably where she also tends to file for divorce) because it’s a 50/50 marital state and she stands to make out alot better in the divorce there.  Shaunie is asking for both spousal and child support — though she did not specify an amount for either. Shaunie also wants legal and physical custody of the couple’s 4 kids.

Annnnnd Katt Williams cracks a few jokes as he’s released from County jail after facing charges of burglary…..

He is a damn fool!! Who knew the ladies screamed for Katt like that? I think I even saw a few panties flying overhead. I guess it’s safe to call him “The Katt Burglar” now..lololol.

Khloe & Lamar: Ready For Babies & Amerie All Grown Up!

Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom rushed down the alter, and now it looks like the couple doesn’t want to waste any more time before having a baby!

When Chelsea Handler had the newlyweds on her late night show,  Lamar slyly said that Khloe would be pregnant “soon.” (probably has one in the oven already, thus the rush marraige ummkay!).

When asked if they want to start a family right away, Lamar stroked  molested Khloe’s thigh and said ”I do!” Khloe, who looked caught off guard, said, “Okay!”

“I stopped my QuickTrim diet for a little bit around the time I met Lamar,” Kardashian, who dropped 25 pounds this fall, told E! News. “I was so in love, and I was at my perfect weight, and I didn’t want to do it anymore. Since marriage, I’ve gained about five pounds.” (She says she is back on the QuickTrim diet plug plug)

Besides a possible pregnancy, they have another project potentially in the works: their own reality show! Surprised??? No way, we all saw that one coming.

On another note, check out Lil Miss Amerie- all grown up!! Here she is in the new issue of Elle Magazine….

Fergie’s Husband Caught Cheating?!?

Was Josh Duhamel really cheating on his wife Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas??   Well if the results of a polygraph test are your judge and jury then the answer would be YES!! Here’s the story:

According to sources, Duhamel, 36, met stripper Nicole Forrester in early October at an all-nude club in Atlanta called Tattletales Lounge, where she performs under the name “Delilah.”Duhamel denies the report emphatically.Duhamel was in Georgia filming the romantic comedy Life As We Know It, when he and a pal stopped by the club. Forrester says Josh first identified himself as “JD”, and said he was in town to make a porn movie. “I told him, ‘You are gorgeous’ and he said, ‘’You’re hot, too.’”Forrester says after drinking Grey Goose vodka together, Duhamel had Nicole perform a nude dance for him and a male friend.She says before he left, they exchanged phone numbers, and on October 9th, he called her and invited her to his $820-a night room at the St. Regis hotel.Forester goes on to describe their encounter, which led to sex, she says. The Enquirer article says that Forester passed a rigorous polygraph and that she was paid for telling her story.

So will Fergie be giving Josh the Bom Boom Pow??? It would take stronger evidence than a scummy stripper story in the Enquirer (which she was PAID for), and alleged polygraph results to make me leave my husband. But hey that’s just me.
