ENTERTAINMENT: R.Kelly Divorces; TVs Will Go Black
January 12th, 2009R. Kelly Gets a Divorce
R&B singer R. Kelly and Andrea Lee, his wife of 11 years, have divorced, the entertainer’s lawyers announced in a statement. “The parties have reached an amicable resolution concerning all issues related to their marriage and will share joint custody of their three children,” the announcement said. “The details of this agreement will remain confidential and the family requests that their privacy be respected during this time.” It’s not as if the announcement were a shock. The couple, which has three children together, separated more than three years ago after Lee filed an emergency restraining order against Kelly, claiming that he had physically abused, harassed and stalked her. Lee, 35, who is seven years younger than Kelly, met the performer while auditioning as a backup dancer for him.
Some TVs Will Go Black
Next Month Hundreds of thousands of Americans – many of whom are poor and minority – will be left out of the TV loop next month when all televisions switch from analog to digital. For lawmakers like Rep. Edward Markey (D-Mass.) and Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.), that’s unacceptable, the Feb. 17 changeover should be delayed. While the switch guarantees a much sharper picture, it would leave hundreds of thousands of folks without any picture at all, according to John Walsh, senior vice president for programming at PBS. “Currently, 99 percent of American households have television,” said Walsh, speaking to the Television Critics Association. “Are TV households in the U.S. now going to be 95 percent? Ninety-seven percent?” “Just because of the nature of digital versus analog, someone who is on the wrong side of a ridge or something like that may suddenly not be able to get a station that they always used to get analog.”

It was all about the money!!!!
Robert Kelly you need to seek God because, you need help.
Lets not say the marriage was ll avout the money, she is 7 years younger than R. kelly, he likes younger women. Waht is most important is that they have 3 children, and yes, his money needs to support HIS children, not to mention the abuse she is claiming. If R. was or has hit her, there is another issue he needs help with, I am like Mollie, seek Jesus. R. has plenty of money, he may need to take a break and seek some professional and spiritual help.
If you don’t know R. Kelly personally then don’t comment on his life like you do, you know what the media says. He makes excellent music nobody can deny that, that what he should be known for. I Love R. Kelly and his music, his personal life is his business just like yours is yours. We ALL need Jesus!
I DON’T SEE NOTHING WRONGGGGGGGGG…WITH WITH ME AND MY BIG HARD ONNNNNNNNN!!
Sparkle, no one commented on his life….they just said he should seek Jesus! We all should. The media has shown us an important part of his life….he likes younger women…Shucks he even showed us in his interview after he was found not guilty….He is a musicla genious like Michael and Prince..with the talent they have comes major psychological issues! Maybe his wife stayed for money..maybe she stayed for love…but one things for sure…she is now entitled to everything for staying married at least 10 years!
Good luck to all parties involved!
Sparkle,
You need to grow the *%*? up! RKelly is a celebrity and therefore his personal life is often made public which means than ANYBODY can comment on it if they feel like it. I feel like it. If anything instead of protecting and professing your love for the creep you need to be re-examining your personal issues and why you are ignoring the fact that this is NOT a good man…abuses very young girls, committs adultery, neglects his 3 kids, physically abuses his wife….and this is your idol. Please…you need to meet RKelly at the mental health clinic, girlfriend!, so you can both get your heads examined!
The problem is that black girls don’t know how to treat black men. That is why he comes to us white women.
Dawn,
You can keep all the creeps that we know are no good! You just confirmed the stereotype we have for stupid women like yourself. Black men go to white women because they put up with all the abuse…Black women will fight back! I pray for your ignorance
To all the haters stop and think about what you all are saying and stop having negative things to say about people you dont know, who cares if he likes younger woman everybody did something in their lives they are not proud of so stop judging him, he has to answer to god on jugdement and I’m pretty sure everybody else does too.
Face it, it’s the truth.
You can have all the bums blanquita! No one is hating…they are like you, expressing their feelings. That what a blog is about. Different opinions, different points of view. Dawn…I hope since you like black men that you find a man that is respectful, not just a trophy on your arm because he is black and you think you obtained him because a black woman could not treat him right. I hope you are not really that narrow minded
REALLY LADIES WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT !!.I HAVE NO BRAIN AND THE HOLE I GO INTO HAVE NONE EITHER. NOT A BLACK.. WHITE OR ANY OTHER RACE ISSUE!! IF YOU LET ME PEE ON YOU AND TREAT YOU LIKE A DOG IN HEAT THEN YOU WANT IT JUST LIKE I DO!!
lashayn you must be a child molester also. Its one thing to like people younger than you and its another thing to be sleeping with young girls. R Kelly has a daughter. Should the parents of his daughters friends start wondering if he is going to start molesting their daughters too. I can”t stand child molestors. One day R Kelly is going to get what he deserves for messing with people children.
Ya are all funnie lolll but I’m still an R.kelly fan!!
whocares
And it took her so long because why? I mean come on woman- this man pees on lil girls and thinks it’s sexy-eww! I say it’s about time and hey better late than never.
Trina and Kendra shut up! I never said idol. Idol is someone you want to be like I said I Love him. You did comment on his life’ are you stupid. Leave me alone.
IT’S A BOUT TIME. NOT ONLY HIM BUT HIS FAMILY HAVE BEEN THRUOGH TUFF TIME WITH HIS PASS, AND YES THAT IS WHY SHE LEFT LONG AGO. NOW THAT IT IS OVER SHE IS MOVING ON WITH HER LIFE. KELLY KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF. GOOD LUCK ANDREA MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AND YOUR KIDS.ELLA
i’m an events manager i’ve had the opportunity to meet mr.kelly and I must say he can fool you into thinking he’s a respectful man,however after he is liquored up he changes i’ve seen him disrespect his wife and all the Dawns out there(white women) a person can only be who they are its up to you how you accept them,but i’ve been taught if you can’t help a person don’t judge them.I jus stay away from them and honestly i’ve seen it a million times some of yall talk about him bad and as soon as he come in your face you scream&holla to be with him.
.Jan 20th is bigger than R.kelly stay focused on the change
