Just Cuz

February 29th, 2008

A little Friday sweetness for the ladies. Michael Ealy, in NYC  spending an evening at the thee-tah. We don’t see him much, but it’s always pleasant when we do. Check for Ealy in Spike Lee’s upcoming joint, “Miracle at St. Anna” this fall.

She Ain’t Changed

February 29th, 2008

Naomi Campbell’s pissed that everyone knows about her ”cyst” removal in Brazil this week. So pissed, she ordered her phone be cut off in her Sao Paulo hospital room, and copped a ‘tude with the hospital staff.

From wire reports: Staff at the hospital said the celebrity, famously given to diva-like behavior, was “in no way courteous” to them and had barred them from her room.

Turns out, her spokeswoman leaked the information. We want our well wishes back.

Bobby For the Kids

February 28th, 2008

At least, he will be now. The “Gone Country” reality show star lucked out and got no jail time, stemming from a minor drug charge in December. Instead, the judge recommended he perform a year of community service mentoring kids.

What one lesson from his life should Bobby share with today’s youth? (That is, if you can just pick one…)

Tracey to Johnny: “Mind Yo Beeswax!”

February 27th, 2008

Seems Tracey Edmonds a bit miffed at Johnny Gill for telling the media what really happened at her spiritual ceremony with Eddie Murphy while clearing up rumors he’s on the DL.

Her official statement: ”I was very shocked and disappointed to hear of Johnny Gill’s false spin on the chain of events surrounding our wedding. His outrageous lies were clearly a very desperate and pathetic attempt to clean up his reputation at my expense. I would appreciate it if Mr. Gill would refrain from continuing to spread false gossip and lies to the public, and allow everyone involved to move on with their lives. We all know the real truth.”

Translation: “You know, I know and Eddie definitely knows that you’re gay. Stop talkin’ all that bullshiggedy.”

Save Neverland!

February 27th, 2008

Who wants to spearhead the “Save the Neverland Ranch” fundraiser? All we need is, like, $24 million. Whose with me? C’mon. The King of Pop is ’bout to lose everything — the the kiddie rollercoasters, the zoo, Bubbles, everything. We must act fast. The title company’s scheduled to auction off the ranch on March 8.

Naomi Campbell Hospitalized

February 26th, 2008

Naomi Campbell was hospitalized in San Paulo, Brazil for the removal of a cyst according to her publicist.”I cannot reveal what Naomi had, nor how serious her condition was, but I can say I operated on her yesterday and that she is completely cured,”  gynecologist Jose Aristodemo Pinotti said.

“A cyst”

Riiiiight, Naomi.

How do you say penicillin in Portuguese? 

You know Naomi probably told the publcist to make up a believable story or else feel the wrath of her BlackBerry.

Feel better, Naomi.

Q’s Youngin’

February 25th, 2008

Yeah, Ruby Dee didn’t win an Oscar (I’ll be throwing this into any sentence until I’m no longer pissed.), but 74-year-old Quincy Jones showed up to last night’s ceremony with his 19-year-old girlfriend, Heba Elawadi. Yep, they’re still together.

What do you think they have in common?

Deep, Diddy, Deep

February 25th, 2008

The Didster must be betting his latest acting gig will turn him into a big-time Hollywood hotshot.

He tells the NY Daily News: “I’d like to be based in Hollywood. I want to do leading man kind of stuff. You know, jumping off buildings and things like that…I would also like to do roles where I make love to beautiful women. Films with very emotional, heart-wrenching scenes.”

Not impressed with that reasoning. But it won’t stop me from turning on ABC tonight to watch “A Raisin in the Sun!” Check your local listings, folks.
