Dear Spotlight readers: As much as I’ve enjoyed this song and dance for nearly a year now, the party’s over. The curtain’s ’bout to drop. In other words, today’s my last day blogging in this space. No, please, no tears. (And no applause, either, smart alecs.) I thank you for visiting this space to rant, laugh, and share your two cents along with mine. The good news is, Spotlight’s staying. Yaaay! Well, somebody’s got to cover the shenanigans of the celebrities. When Ri-Ri and Chris Brown finally go public, you must come back to Spotlight and tell us what you think! Next week, Kelly Carter will fill my shoes. Welcome her like you would your second cousin at the family reunion.

Take care, God bless, and Good riddings! (I keed, I keed.) Good night.

According to TMZ.com, Juanita Bynum and Bishop Thomas Weeks officially divorced today, ending six years of somewhat holy matrimony. But the proceedings weren’t without any last-minute drama. Apparently, the two engaged in a little nooky during their separation. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Temptation must have been strong, huh, Juanita? The televangelist filed for the divorce last September, soon after her hubby gave her a public beat down in an Atlanta parking lot last fall. Weeks plead guilty to assault and is serving three years’ probation.

In their settlement, Weeks has been ordered to immediately return several household items — including artwork and silverware — to Bynum, and she’s agreed to pay $40k of Weeks’ attorney fees. He also gets to keep his 2004 Land Rover. Neither side gets alimony.

Let’s get this straight: She forked over $40,000 for the man who abused her? Slept with him again, too? Love brings out the lunacy in folks, doesn’t it?

Nutty Naomi Campbell plead guilty to assaulting those two police officers she went off on when she thought the airline lost her luggage. A judge sentenced her to 200 hours of community service. In addition to a nearly $5000 fine, she was also ordered to pay $400 to each of the officers she attacked and $300 to the pilot of plane.

This chick needs to do some hard time, in a hard prison, with some hardened criminals. Maybe that’ll scare her straight.

Taco Bell has reportedly pissed off 50 Cent for offering him a $10,000 donation to a charity if, for a day, he changed his name as part of an ad campaign.

From Star Pulse: They stipulated he must stop by one of the chain’s restaurants and rap his order at the drive-thru window – using a new moniker: 79 Cent, 89 Cent or 99 Cent.

That’s just ig-nant and funny at the same time. OK, well Fiddy ain’t laughing. He’s threatening legal action against the food chain and reportedly made the statement: “When my legal team is finished with them, Taco Bell is going to have a new corporate slogan: ‘We messed with the bull and got the horns’”

I’m saying, at least the value of his name went UP.

Here’s Rihanna lighting up The Empire State Building to celebrate Cartie’s newest Love Charity bracelet in NYC yesterday. How appropriate, since she’s become the ever-glowing light in all of our lives.

Kimora must be sick of reporters asking if she and Djimon are getting hitched. So she’s finally settin’ folks straight.

When asked by People if she and Djimon are engaged, she replied, “Kind of.” Asked if Honsou had given her an engagement ring, Simmons was equally forthcoming – and evasive. “Well, kind of,” she said, “not quite.”

Do we really care? Kind of. A little. Sorta. Maybe. Not quite.

While Flo Rida hit up the ‘As I Am’ world tour wrap celebration at The Park in NYC yesterday, Common was busy at the third Annual Leve Day Celebration. Who would YOU rather celebrate with?

If I had to guess what Rihanna’s doing in this photo, I’d say she’s puttin’ her right hip out during a rousing round of Hokey Pokey. Not likely. But for sure, she was celebrating with folks like Teyana Taylor and Estelle at the Guesthouse in New York at her Good Girl Gone Bad “Reloaded” Party.

Actress Gabrielle Union lets the long weave go in the latest issue of Essence magazine. Are you digging the cut?

Here’s when celebrities get ridiculous trying to keep it slim. R&B legend Natalie Cole has reportedly lost up to 4 inches by shooting electricity through her body.

“The revolutionary device, which comes as a band wrapped around the stomach area, sends small electrical currents through the body. Sessions cost as much as $200, but Cole, who endorsed the weight loss system on Entertainment Tonight on Tuesday insists, “It’s worth it.”

What happened to good old-fashioned dieting and exercise????
