Talk About Haters! J.Lo’s Ex-Hubby to Audition for American Idol

Ojani Noa seems to have made it his life goal to bring Jenny from the Block down to the gutter in any way he can!

Ojani Noa

Less than a week after it was announced that Lopez signed a $12 million contract to be a judge on American Idol, Noa announced he plans to try out for the show.

Noa was Jennifer’s first husband whom she married in 1997 – she met him when he was a waiter at a Miami restaurant – and divorced in 1998.

In 2002, when she was engaged to movie star Ben Affleck, Noa intimated that he might write a Tell-All book about their relationship. Lopez put a stop to it by giving him a job as manager of her Pasadena restaurant, Madre’s.

Well, that didn’t work out any better than their marriage, and he was fired just a few months later. So then he sued her over the firing. Jenny’s lawyers then negotiated an agreement, we’ll give you some money – just go the hell away. They also added a confidentiality clause to the settlement. They thought that would be the end of it. Boy, were they wrong!

In 2006, when Lopez married singer Marc Antony, Noa again started talking about a writing a Tell-All, and actually started shopping it around to publishers. When Lopez found out she sued him for breach of the confidentiality agreement, and the book scam fell apart. Lopez was awarded a permanent injunction against Noa, and a $450,000 cash settlement for the breach.

But Noa didn’t stop there! In 2009 Lopez had to again go to court to stop him from producing a film about their brief marriage, How I Married Jennifer Lopez. And also to stop him from distributing a “sex-tape.” Well, Lopez’s lawyers said it wasn’t really a sex-tape, but some footage of some of the then-couple’s private moments. Whatever. Bottom line is they stopped him once again.

So, now Noa’s plan is to once again cash in J.Lo’s fame. Less than a week after it was announced that she American Idol is paying her $12 million to judge the show for one season, Noa has decided he’s always wanted to be a singer. So, he says, he’ll stand on line with the rest of the contestant hopefuls to get an audition in front of his ex-wife and the other two judges.

Damn, Noa! Did she really hurt you that bad? Give it up, bro! Get your own life and stop trying to cash in on J.Lo’s!

T.I. and Tiny Were Sipping on Codeine, According Court Docs!

Hold up! PLEASE don’t believe the reports that multi-platinum artist T.I. and his wife Tiny were in their $400,000 Maybach just popping Ecstasy pills.

How lame!

They were in there popping pills, smoking blunts, and sipping syrup.

This power couple was multi-tasking! Hmmm . . . multi-doping? (Shrug)

Clifford Harris, aka T.I. -- who was released from prison in March after serving ten months on a a 2007 gun charge -- and his wife Tameka Cottle, aka Tiny, were arrested on Sept. 1 in Los Angeles, CA, after police officers observed them making an illegal U-turn on Sunset Blvd. in their $400,00 Maybach.

When officers pulled them over they said they smelled a strong aroma of marijuana coming from the car.

The couple were arrested, and later released after posting $10,000 bail. T.I. and Tiny have been together since 2001, but were just married this year. They are the parents of two young children.

According to court documents, when police searched the car they found ecstasy pills, marijuana, and four Styrofoam cups with codeine syrup. (No word on what mixer was used with the syrup, but since T.I. is from Atlanta I’m betting on coke. Coca-Cola, that is!)

Wendy Williams Gunning for LeAnn Rimes




Well, it all started like this. Country singer LeAnn Rimes – whom for some reason was considered American’s sweetheart – met this guy and started getting it in on their Life Time movie set doing the bump and grind with him.





Eddie Cibrian



Problem was she was married. And so was he. Oh, and he was married with kids. Tsk, tsk, LeAnn.

So, Ms. LeAnn eventually dumps hubby, and Eddie Cibrian dumps wifey, and he and LeAnn hookup for real.

And for some really strange reason, everyone cares. There was a firestorm in the media about the whole affair, so much so that LeAnn felt the need to issue a statement saying that she and her husband had married too young, and they’d grown apart.

So okay, Wendy Williams talked about the affair on her show, and said that LeAnn was wrong for stepping out on her marriage; and that if the marriage was falling apart, she should have gone on and divorced hubby instead of cheating.

She also took issue with LeAnn referring to the new guys kids as her own.

Well! Ms. LeAnn didn’t like that. And tweeted about the fact that she didn’t like that, saying that Wendy was just being mean. (Wendy Williams? Mean? Nooooo! LOL)

For some reason Wendy took those as fighting words, and she’s tweeting for people to tune into her show on Monday, because she has some choice words for Ms. LeAnn.

LeAnn Rimes, really? You didn’t know better than to get into a war of words with Wendy Williams?

Can anyone say, Whitney Houston?

"Crack is whack!"


Nuff said!

Michelle Obama denies saying being First Lady is Hell.

A new biography on French First Lady, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, says that during a visit to the White House earlier this year she asked Michelle Obama how she liked being the First Lady of the United States, and Obama replied: "Don’t ask! It’s hell. I can’t stand it!"

The book, Carla and the Ambitious (Carla et les ambitieux), was written by journalists Michael Darmon and Yves Derai, supposedly in collaboration with Bruni-Sarkozy. A former supermodel, actress, and singer, Bruni-Sarkozy -- an italian heiress -- was known for her romances with Rock icons such as Mick Jagger and Eric Clapton before marrying French President Nicolas Sarkozy in 2008.

The book was released on Thursday, causing a round of denials from both the U. S. and French governments.

The White House sent out a press release strongly denying the quote attributed to Michelle Obama early Thursday morning, and the French Embassy in the United States also told the press that the quotes were fabricated.

"Mrs. Bruni-Sarkozy distances herself completely from the content of the book," Embassy spokesman Emmanuel Lenain, told U. S. television reporters. "The words attributed to the First Lady of the United States were never said."

When confronted with the denial, co-author Derai said he stands by the sources who gave him the information, adding that the conversation took place between a private talk between the two First Ladys in March. This would, of course, imply that the source was Bruni-Sarkozy herself, but Derai said he would not reveal his source.

And while he backed off earlier claims that Bruni-Sarkozy collaborated on the book, Derai states he used 50 different sources for the book; and that the French First Lady granted the co-authors about 10 hours of interviews over a course of several sessions.

He then, however, went on to stress that the book was my no means, "an official biography."

Ironically, another biography of Carla Bruni-Sarkozy was also released this week. Carla: A Secret Life was penned by French journalist Besma Lahouri, who asserts that Bruni-Sarkozy considers Michelle Obama a rival. According to the book, she sees Michelle Obama the only one able "to challenge her for the title of the world's sexiest and most glamorous first lady."

Acid Attack Self-Inflicted? (Updated 9/17)





THIS IS JUST CRAZY!!!!!!!!!

Police are investigating whether a 28-year-old Washington state woman splashed acid on her own face in an attempt to get intention!

Bethany Storro had told police that an unknown woman walked up to her on a city street and said, "Hey, pretty girl, do you want to drink this?" and then threw a cup of acid in her face.

Storro described the woman as being "black with a slicked-back ponytail," and a police subsequently released a composite sketch of the alleged attacker based on her description.

"It was the most painful thing ever," Storro told the AP. "My heart stopped. It ripped through my clothing the instant it touched my shirt; I could feel it burning through my second layer of skin."

But now there are some who are questioning her account. For one, people say, Storro is deaf. How could she have heard what the woman said?

Also, Storro's eyes were not splashed because she was wearing sunglasses. But, some are asking, why was she wearing sunglasses when the alleged attack took place after sunset.

And a group of homeless people, said that there was no one in the vicinity when Storro fell to the ground writhing, and screaming that she's been attacked.

Storro was supposed to appear on Oprah, but canceled the appearance after doubts were raised about the attack.

Police will be holding a press conference at 4 p.m. PST (7 p.m. EST) to talk about the case.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE: Police officials reveal in a late Thursday afternoon press conference that Bethany Storro has admitted that she lied, and that she acid attack was self-inflicted.

Storro had received an outpouring of both sympathy and money after leading the police -- and the nation -- that a black woman with a slicked-back ponytail walked up to her in the street and threw a cup of acid in her face. Storro said she'd never seen the woman before, but told police that the woman had "this weirdness about her," and said she thought the woman might have felt jealousy or rage for some reason.

"It was the most painful thing ever," she said from her hospital bed. "My heart stopped. It ripped through my clothing the instant it touched my shirt; I could feel it burning through my second layer of skin."

In a press conference about a week after being released from the hospital, Storro said she wanted her assailant found, but she planned to forgive her so that she herself could move on.

Storro's parents released a statement Friday morning, saying that they did not know why their daughter would manufacture such a hoax, and apologized to the nation for her behavior.

They also said all the monetary donations sent to Storro would be returned.

Mom Teaches 2-year-old Daughter to Smoke Pot







This is just sad. The 21-year-old Ohio mother actually used her cell phone to tape this, then sent it to a friend. The friend was justifiably (in my opinon!) mortified, and sent the video to Child Protection Services.

Mother was arrested and the daughter was removed from the home.

Gabby's Skin Lightened for Fashion Mag Cover?

Gabourey Sidibey

Look at the pictures yourself, and you decide!

Elle Magazine has released statement that there was no more retouching of Oscar nominated actress Gabourey Sidibey's cover pic than any other cover pics they feature.

I don't know . . . things that make you go . . . hmmm!

At the same time, I do think it's great that Elle is featuring Gabby, who became an overnight success after making her acting debut in the movie, Precious, which also starred Monique.

And do keep in mind, funny things can happen to a person's complexion when you consider photo lighting and makeup.

Okay, so I don't know how I feel about it. What say you?

Shaquille O'Neal Accused of Trying To Plant Kiddy Porn on Employee's Computer

Shaquille O'Neal Accused of Trying to Plant Kiddy Porn.


It was revealed yesterday that a bizarre lawsuit was filed in Miami, stating that basketball superstar -- Shaquille O'Neal -- tried to plant child pornography on an ex-employee's computer in attempt to prevent him from spilling the beans about O'Neal's extra-marital affairs.

Shaq, however, says Shawn Darling -- who filed the suit -- is an extortionist who tried to get $12 million from him.

The suit filed by Darling, who worked as a computer consultant for the basketball superstar, says that O'Neal first engaged him in 2007 to erase the basketball player's computer of any information -- including emails -- that showed evidence of a slew of affairs, including ones with rap singer Alexis Miller -- who later accused O'Neal of stalking and sexual harrassment.

In the suit, Darling also says that O'Neal's computer also had details about his affair with Swedish model Dominica Westling.

After the computer wipe, a relieved Shaquille then threw Darling's computer into a lake behind his house, and gave him money to buy a replacement I-MAC. He later fired Darling.

O'Neal was married at the times of the alleged affairs.

According to legal documents obtained by Radaronline.com, Vanessa Lopez -- identified as another one of Shaquille's mistresses who accused him of harrassment --was then contacted by Darling, who told her that O'Neal was trying to hack into her email account and voice mail to erase any info about an affair.

When Shaq found out about the contact, he became afraid of possible blackmail by Darling. He then fired the IT expert and -- according to Darling -- hired a former Arizona detective to hack into Darling's computer and plant the kiddy porn. The thought being, if Darling revealed Shaq's indiscrepancies that they could contact the authorities and accuse him of being a child pornographer.

According to the lawsuit, when the former detective notified him that the dirty deed was done, Shaq then wrote back in an email: "ok but in the meantime o boy needs to be put in jail, we have way too many law enforcement connections to let a criminal try to get over on mine o mine, we don't need any distractions as we deal with Harvard guy, shoe line guy, restaurant guy, real estate guy and everything we are planning to do after basketball life..."

In the suit filed in Miami, Darling states he is in fear for his life as O'Neal is a powerful person with close friends in law enforcement.

But there are two sides to every story. Yesterday O'Neal released a statement saying:

"Shawn Darling, a computer consultant engaged by basketball star Shaquille O'Neal to install and service a home theater and then service personal computer equipment, copied without permission thousands of emails and communications from Mr. O'Neal," reads the statement.

"Darling, an ex-convict with a long criminal record that he failed to disclose and hid from Mr. O'Neal, has demanded $12 million in exchange for not releasing Mr. O'Neal's personal and confidential emails and communications. When Mr. O'Neal refused to be extorted, Darling filed a lawsuit claiming 'invasion of privacy and emotional distress.'"
