Even though California Highway Patrol officers tagged her doing 80 mph and drifting in and out of lanes on a Los Angeles freeway back in March, Vivica Fox says (through her attorney, who showed up to court on her behalf) that she was not wheelin’ her silver Cadillac SRX under the influence of alcohol.

The 43-year-old actress failed a Breathalyzer test and got pretty funky with the cops, calling one of them racist. Could she be telling the truth? Naaaaah.

If convicted on two DUI misdeamenor counts, Viv’s looking at a maximum of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. She better get her story straight.

Fox is due back in court Oct. 29.

Halle Berry’s baby is still in the womb and has already become the target of racism. The actress has reportedly hired security guards because of racist threats to her unborn baby from an “anonymous sicko,” according to the Daily Mirror.

The star has received letters at her LA home, one saying that she and her child would be “cut into hundreds of pieces”.

Halle, 41, is expecting her first child in the spring with Canadian model Gabriel Aubry. A source close to the actress said: “Halle does not normally use security but she has taken on a couple of guys to make sure.” Police are investigating the threats.

Watch your back, Halle!

You gotta hand it to whatserface (I just can’t write her name again). She knows how to keep herself relevant. Don’t you wish she could use all this notoriety for good, like, just once? Ok, I’m off my soapbox.

She reportedly stormed out of a radio interview with Detroit’s WJLB, screaming, ”I can’t talk to ignorant Black people!” Before doing so, she said she regretted being called “Superhead.” Too bad it stuck. That cute, belly-baring tank top with “Superhead” across the boobs probably didn’t help. Listen to the interview here.

Also, excerpts from her latest novel “Vixen Diaries,” printed in the NY Daily News, reveal even more of her steamy sexcapades with celebrities. But she apparently clears up a few rumors. Like, she had anything to do with the break-ups of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, Halle Berry and Eric Benet. (Uh-huh)

Other tidbits: She says Bill Maher broke her heart, prompting her to cut her wrists. Child Services took her son away temporarily. Jamie Foxx was digging her until he found out who she was. Then, he ran in the other direction! Mike Tyson was rough in bed. (what a shock)

Quote-worthy: “I kept Bobby close to my heart.” Meeting after a time apart, “he embraced me as I whispered, ‘I love you,’ and he returned, ‘I love you, too.’” But she says Brown later told “me I had done nothing for him, while he was sleeping in my home, eating my food, driving my car and spending my money.” After a tryst with Ray J, she told Brown that the rapper claimed he’d added Whitney’s name to his bedpost. “I could hardly wait to get the news out, to tear [Bobby’s] heart apart and hurt him the way he hurt me, I wanted him to go to bed that night with the image of his wife with another man.”

Anybody have the name of good therapist for this chick?

Paris Hilton’s making a trip to Rwanda. HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA..I’m sorry…HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA….. HAHAHAHAHAA..wait… HAHAHAHAHAHAHA…whoo..whoo. Hang on. Ok, as I was sayin’. Paris Hilton, star of “Simple Life,” a show which ultimately poked fun at us everyday, workin’ folk, is going to Rwanda to cast a spotlight on issues that have plagued the country for decades, particularly since the 1994 genocide.

“I know there’s a lot of good I can do just by getting involved and bringing attention to these issues.”

Let’s hope it’s GOOD attention.

So far, “The View” ratings are kicking last season’s butt. Attribute that to Whoopi if you want. I know part of the buzz is about Sherri Shepherd. She so crazy.

In a recent interview with entertainment columnist Jawn Murray, she reminisced about her first appearance on the Oprah Winfrey Show:

“I was on ‘Oprah’ back in 1993 back in the time when Oprah Winfrey had trashy TV. Her show was just like ‘The Jerry Springer Show.’ I was in Chicago one time and Oprah used to advertise. ‘If you found that your boyfriend was cheating, call this number.’ So I called because I had found a condom in my boyfriend’s car. They put me on the show, but I didn’t get to sit on stage because I got bumped for a woman who was an expert. So I sat in the audience and Oprah asked me my question and I was hollering and snapping and going off. I remember that my fingernail snapped off my hand and fell into the lady’s lap behind me. This was all back when she had trashy TV.”

Shephard also got in a word or two about the Juice:

“Thank goodness his flavor is vanilla and not chocolate. At least black girls around America ain’t got nothing to worry about. Us black girls can breathe a collective sigh of relief. I think O.J. thinks he just finished ‘The Naked Gun’ movie and just won his Heisman Trophy. He thinks he still popular with Americans! He’s still in those days when he was loved by America. Back then, he probably could have gone into a hotel and taken all of his stuff and we would have still loved him.”

Speak it, Sherri.

Tyra done went and found herself a businessman like her favorite mentor, Oprah. He’s quite Stedman-ish, isn’t he? His name is John Utendahl, age 50, a NY-based investment banker that Tyra’s reportedly been dating for a few months now. Maybe that’s why she left L.A. for the Big Apple. Hmm…

I had to rub my eyes to see if I was reading correctly. Did Adrianne Curry, the first winner of “America’s Next Top Model” really question the necessity of Black History Month? Did she really call it racist to have a month dedicated to one race? Did she really, REALLY tell Black people to move the f**k on from slavery? Direct quotes taken from her Myspace page say it’s so.

Read for yourself: “I LOVE the comedians on BET. I also LOVE the fact that they play my favorite show of all time, In Living Color. However, I do not believe in seperating ANY RACE in America. WE ARE AMERICANS! How dare we have Black History Month! In my eyes, the Native Americans deserve it MUCH more, seeing how we destroyed their ENTIRE SOCIETY. There are hardly any of them left! They also have been proven to have the WORST living conditions on their reservations. I want AN AMERICAN HISTORY MONTH. One where we learn about EVERY race, ALL OF OUR LEADERS, EVERYONE! I think by having a month dedicated to one race, and not one for any other, is RACIST. Every fund set up to only help people of one race is SICK and RACIST.

Yes, I get it. Black people were slaves here once. You know what? That does suck some major balls, however, it is time to move the f**k on. Do we hear the Jews crying that they were made slaves for thousands of years? Do we hear them whine that they should OWN the pyramids in Egypt because THEY broke their backs making them? Do we hear them bitch and moan about Hitler, etc? (my hubby is a Jew)Nope, we dont. It’s time for us to UNITE AS ONE. I do not think that singling out one race, giving one race opportunities to go to college (I know a TON of poor white.asian, indian, american indian, etc etc that could use that too!), giving one race the EXCUSE to blame things on others for being whatever nationality they are, is a good way at making sure we NEVER kill racism.

WE ALL CAME FROM ONE BLACK WOMAN FROM AFRICA, THAT is our EVE! It has been proven by science, and I stand by it. If any other race had a chanel dedicated to just them, we would think it was racist. If any other race demanded a month be set aside for ONLY them, they would be considered racist. I am NOT living by this double standard any longer.

Think I am racist? I am not. I know what racism is. I dated a guy named “Justin” in Junior high. Nothing serious, but I really liked him. He was the blackest of black…BEAUTIFUL skin, kinda like Alex Wek’s. He was handsome, and athletic, etc. I was called a ni**er lover. But you know what? I was called that by a whole 2 people out of a school with HUNDREDS of students. THAT is why I am NOT buying this racist s**t anymore. Let us teach or children that there is NO DIFFERENCE! We are all human. I hope one day aliens land and try to kill us. Maybe THEN we would finally realize that WE are ONE.”

What world is she living in? I see where she’s going, but the path is all jacked up! On her Myspace page, Curry says she’s boycotting BET and Black History Month. Good riddin’s…sista! Hit me back and tell me how you feel, folks.

They say African babies are the latest Hollywood accessory. Question: Why don’t we see more Black celebrities adopting? (In this pic: Actress Mary-Louise Parker strolls through NYC with the baby girl she picked out from somewhere on the continent.)

BET.comer keshacole07 says “it’s chic to have an african baby. all they now need is a store where they can go and pick them out without having to go all the way to africa.”

Is she right?

What’s the deal with Gabrielle Union? I’m reading all kinds of conflicting stories about this one. First, she’s hooked up with Luda (which I’d definitely file under Kooky Couples). Then a mysterious source says she was hugged up with “CSI: NY” hottie Hill Harper. The two reportedly attended the Maxim Style Awards and were seen smooching all night before they left together. And, AND, rumors are also swirling that Gabrielle is partly the cause of Dwayne Wade’s separation from wife Siohvaughn.

I don’t know what to believe. But I wouldn’t be mad if Gabrielle and Hill hooked up. He’s bright, she’s bright. He’s cute, she’s cute. They’re about on the same level in Hollywood. Nice couple. If they are a couple. Which we’re not really sure of.

Another celebrity marriage bites the dust. Well, the wheels are reportedly turning that way, anyway.

Reports have surfaced that NBA-er Dwayne Wade and his spouse Siohvaughn are calling it quits. This, just barely a month after Shaq filed for divorce from his wife. I’ve checked out a couple of blogs that have been predictably insensitive about whatever it is these folks are going through. Bossip.com had “exclusively” reported that Wade was seen with some lingerie models. The site even goes on to guess that Kobe’s marriage is the next to crumble.

All this breakin’ up got me to thinkin’. Why are we so fascinated with celebrity split-ups? We revel in it, like their divorces are entertainment for us. We get a strange kick out of their misery. Actor Duane Martin and his wife Tisha Campbell had something to say about it when they defended their 17-year marriage against all the gay rumors in Essence.

“Our theory is that it’s really a slave mentality,” said Campbell, commenting on talk that Duane and Will Smith are lovers. “Whenever the Black community has leaders, potential leaders or a family unit, we emasculate them. You don’t ever see them do that to Ben Affleck or Matt Damon. They can be friends, and be powerful individually or collectively and do amazing things.”

Speaking of Will Smith, he and Jada are just another example. People want them to be gay soooo bad, want them to have an “open” marriage sooo bad. But, you know, their love seems to be strong as ever. So what is it, y’all? Talk to me.
