JULIA ROBERTS NOR ERIC ROBERTS ATTENDED THE FUNERAL OF CORETTA SCOTT
KING
Late civil rights leader CORETTA SCOTT KING took an incredible secret to
her
grave - she paid for Oscar winner JULIA ROBERTS' birth. King, the widow
of
MARTIN LUTHER KING JR, lost her battle with ovarian cancer and died on
31
January (06).
And now it has been revealed that the civil rights icon helped bring
PRETTY
WOMAN Roberts into the world - by covering the hospital costs of the
actress' parents. The extraordinary act of kindness came about in 1967
after King befriended
Roberts' actor parents when they agreed to give her children drama
lessons.
According to a family source, King rushed to the family's aid when she
heard
the actress' mum had gone into labor and insisted on covering the costs
of
the hospital stay as a thank you for the Roberts' kindnesses towards
black
children in Atlanta, Georgia, where they were based.
A family friend says, "Julia was touched and surprised when she found
out.
"Coretta is one of the reasons Julia uses her millions to help charities
working with young children and projects to save the environment."

Jay-Z Can't Seemed To
Lap It Up
The aftermath of Singer/Actress Beyonce's Lap Dance for Actor
and star of
"Hustle and Flow", Terrence Dashon Howard
on the BET Awards last week, has shaken the foundation of her long
romance
with boyfriend Rapper Jay-Z. Apparently
the rapper has been getting a lot of flak from many of his homeboys.
The big question is how could he let his girl go on national television
and perform such a sultry dance on a perfect stranger? The truth
is Jay-Z was caught by surprise right along with the rest of us as she
snatched Howard from the audience. However
Beyonce
should not feel alone in her relationship woes because is also rumored
that Terence not an earful from his wife when he got home from the
festivities.
Omarions Baby
Mama Drama!
Here's the scoop straight from a member of the S.U.G. Street Team, Last
year @ Marques Houston's album release party, Omarion was introduced to
a young lady by the name of Tonya Brewer. They were introduced by a
mutual friend. Although her name was never released until now, I'm sure
many of you can recall the rumors that Omarion was dating a fan.
Anywhoo! Omarion became smitten with Ms. Brewer and did everything to
get her phone number. They reportedly became inseparable and have been
dating ever since, according to the source. The pair have been together
for a little less than a year and have announced to friends and family
that they are expecting a baby in June. The couple was spotted in NYC
shortly after his appearance on TRL, shopping for baby supplies at Toys
R Us. There are also rumors of a possible engagement, as the soon to be
Mrs. Grandberry has been sporting a hefty diamond ring on her left hand.

UNLIMITED POTENTIAL
Kobe Bean Mean
Off the coat-tails of a dismissed sexual
assault trial, Kobe Bryant should be in good standing
with his wife. After all, to her knowledge, this was his
only indiscretion in their relationship, right? Well, wrong. In Kobe's
own words he copes to have a very frequent affair with at least one
other woman, a Latina sports associate, Michelle.
After the initial interrogation by Vail, Colorado police was leaked this
week to the public, Kobe was in hot water, having to explain to his
wife, the low down between him and Michelle, whom he made contact with
sexually over the last 2 years. So distraught by the lies, it is
rumored that Vanessa took her 20 month old daughter and
fled to her mother's home. If that's not bad enough, the interview with
Kobe also sheds light on his special requests in the bed, i.e.,
strangulation among others. People are wondering if Kobe will be able
to get out of the bind with his wife with yet another expensive gift, or
is it, in fact, over.
Federline Makes
Three
So, they've made the trip to Holy
Matrimony, even with the talk of "faux" weddings and such a buzz. Britney
Spears and dancer/baby maker, Kevin Federline,
have sealed their love in a beautiful, secret ceremony, that was a
"spiritual bond", sounds oh so much like Brandy coming
clean about her "faux" with ex Robert Smith. But,
let's be happy for the pair, and hope it works out. SUG supposes it
isn't the fact that Britney is so young, but that Kevin had 1
child prior to and 1 child within the relationship to Spears by actress
Shar Jackson, who's a degree seperated from Brandy...
sounds like a bad soap.. Anyhoo, now, after much anticipation of
Britney's admittance to pregnancy, not to mention, her gush in People
magazine, when asked if pregnant, she gazes in Kevin's eyes and says,
"Not that I know of..." Ahhhh. Yawn. So, now comes word she is
pregnant. Which would make Kevin the father of 3, Britney step-mom to
2, mom to 1, Shar just a baby's mama to 2 and quite big family outings
to Disneyland in the prospect. No wonder, Kevin's groomsmen, him
included, wore sweat suits with PIMP on the back during the wedding.
With his track record, he sure looks like one.

Down
The Creek
It's been a slow gossip month but here goes... American Pie
star Chris Klein and Dawson's Creek beauty Katie Holmes are
reportedly reconsidering their engagement. The glamorous couple had a
vicious fight last Friday in Los Angeles restaurant Maggiano's, which
ended in Klein telling a tearful Holmes he wanted to leave her. A shocked
witness tells website pagesix.Com, "They came in holding hands, sat alone,
and during the dinner Klein was heard delivering classic break-up lines
like 'I need space, ' and 'it's not you, it's me'." But Holmes'
representative insists they were arguing over their new house, not
splitting up.
SUG ask the question, who are these people and who cares?
Bouncing Beyonce
Singer/Actress Beyonce had her party stopped short last Saturday
night when she was celebrating her 23rd birthday on the Soho House rooftop
with boyfriend Jay-Z and about 100 friends. The Beyonce's entourage
was dancing to extra-loud music courtesy of DJ Cassidy and when her
crew didn't want to stop getting down at te midnight curfew the cops were
called in. Rooftop partying past midnight isn't allowed. So staff at the
rival Hotel Gansevoort across the street called the cops on Soho House.
"The Gansevoort just got fed up," claimed a source, "so they phoned it
in." Beyonce‚ eventually shut her party down, and moved on to Marquee.
Action Jackson
Apparently Janet Jackson wants rekindled her movie career,
especially after the failing sales of her recent CD release. The singer
told friends Jackson has suffered ever since her notorious "wardrobe
malfunction" at last year's Super Bowl that she wants to get back into the
motion picture. She will start with her star turn in the upcoming "Valley
of the Dolls" remake. Jackson will focus on the big screen and less on her
music. "I'm really excited to move on to movies!" the star was quoted as
saying. SUG says that decision is a good one, considering the lack of
enthusiasm audiences have been giving her surrounding her recent live
performance appearances on television.

I'll Take Paris In The
Summer!
Word has been spreading about the make-out session between "Dirrty"
Christina Aguilera and heiress Paris Hilton
after the MTV Video Music Awards. According to onlookers, Christina was
getting a provocative dance from her girlfriends when Paris's interest was
peaked and she made way over to the pop star, laying her head in the nape
of Christina's neck before graduating to lip locking. Paris may never
learn from her mistakes. First sex tapes, then Nick Carter,
now Christina Aguilera. She's got a never ending roaster of lovers
and many are saying she's proof, that having money doesn't guarantee
class.

Holla Berry!
What's a girl to do when she has no
man? Newly single actress Halle Berry has revealed her secret to
staying sexually satisfied without a Hubby - she uses sex toys. Since
splitting from estranged husband Eric Benet earlier this year she
says she's in no hurry to find a new lover, especially after discovering the
Pleasure Chest, a saucy Los Angeles store that specializes in raunchy
lingerie and va-vibrators. Berry advises other single women, "Make regular
visits too. "You can't forget your sexuality, that's not good. You can still
embrace your body by going to the gym or going to the Pleasure Chest."
Ho-Hold on now Halle, with all of these superstars publicly expressing their
desire to get with you, including Usher and Jamie Foxx there's really no
need for you to take matters in hand, or should we say plastic in hand!
Pound for Pound, She's No Dunst
Spiderman star Kirsten Dunst is
urging her fellow actresses to eat more food and develop curvaceous bodies -
because it's "so much sexier". The 22-year-old actress, currently dating
Jake Gyllenhaal, insists Hollywood would be a much more attractive place
if all of her counterparts embraced their feminine curves. She says, "I
think it's so much sexier when a woman eats. I love food. I enjoy food. "I'm
22 and I've never had a baby so obviously I'm young and I have a good
metabolism. But I just think it's sexier to be a woman on-screen and have
boobs, you know what I mean? It's so much sexier than a stick figure. And
guys don't even want that!" SUG agrees girlfriend, however guys like women
with fatter lips as well.
No Rooms Up Stairs For Hilton
Paris Hilton
insists she was "just playing a role" in reality TV show The Simple Life and
thanks Reese Witherspoon for her performance. Hilton who co-stars
with pal Nicole Richie in the Mocumentary about two rich girls
surviving on an Arkansas farm - claims she faked her 'dumb blonde' behavior
to boost the program's ratings. SUG says Paris should get an Emmy nomination
because she fooled us all.
Fantasia Who?
Ever wonder what happened to
Fantasia Barrino. Other than having a date proclaimed at after her in
home town of High Point, North Carolina and a few "American Idol" tour
shows, we haven't heard much of her lately. Could it be a sign that Idol is
finally losing some steam. Perhaps through retrospect America realizes they
may have unleashed a Pop nightmare. After all, how many videos could we
watch with Fantasia jumping up and down, doing that stupid dance of hers.
Evil Twins
Troubled teenage stars Mary-Kate
and Ashley Olsen hired TV veteran Dennie Gordon for their
new film and astounded her with their bossy behavior. The twins who are now
17-years-old is said to have put the former Ally McBeal director through an
intense grilling before reluctantly allowing her to direct their Box-office
flop, New York Minute. Gordon confesses in a recent interview, "I had to be
hired by two 17-year-old producers. It was the first time in my life I had
to go on a job interview with my stars, it was so bizarre. "They grilled me,
and they were tough firing questions at me - 'What's this going to look
like?' What can you bring to the party? I went in thinking, 'They're two
years older than my son, how smart can they be?' And they killed me, I
really felt how powerful they are!" SUG guess the twins probably were a
little hard on the director because they hadn't had breakfast yet - or
dinner, or lunch, or snacks.

Talk About Our Love
Looks like the love is gone between
Brandy and "ex-husband" producer Robert Smith. Or
was there any love there to begin with. Just days after the release of
Brandy's newest album, "Afrodisiac" in which she shares matters of the
heart, Robert does a radio interview with gossip queen DJ Wendy Williams and
puts the former Moesha diva on blast. According to Robert, the two were
never married and the "love" Brandy professed both in interviews and on
their MTV special following her much publicized and shocking pregnancy never
existed. He claims that everything from the secret nuptials, to the diamond
ring, to the live in status was all hype and that in reality Brandy was his
"jump off" girl and that all the while he was with another woman, whom he is
still with and very much in love with. She now is 7 months pregnant.
Brandy's comments on his bombshell, were colored with shock, hurt and anger,
charging Smith with not thinking about her, their daughter and the
relationship they shared. She also admits that they did not have a legal
marriage, but shared a unifying bond; in other words unprotected sex
resulting in pregnancy. She also feels it was all for publicity for his
upcoming artists on his record label. Whatever the case, nobody really
believed that they married secretly in the first place! It was too well
orchestrated with the 2 week later pregnancy news and ever fluctuating
change of due date. The egg on Brandy's face must be thick especially with
her urging of once married Britney Spears to take it
slow when it comes to marrying dancer Kevin Federline. Though
her talent is undeniable, we can now conclude that her relationship
knowledge leaves a lot to be discovered. Folks are saying, no wonder there
was no sloppy divorce, no need! Lucky, girl. Maybe that's why Robert's
airing out dirty laundry. Fake husbands want to get paid too!

No Match For Cat Woman
When Halle Berry finally
decided to file for divorce from husband R&B crooner Eric Benet,
everyone in the world knew why. He'd battled sex addictions claims in the
past, but it became too much for the two to handle. After his mistresses
spilled it all to the tabloids during their courtship and after the nuptials
and finally culminating with Halle's emotional come clean on Oprah,
he figures now is a better time than any to set the story straight. He admits
to infidelity, but not to an addiction on Thursday's upcoming "Primetime". He
also admits to sleeping with another woman, while they were dating, engaged
and only days before he would escort Halle to accept her Academy Award. He
also admits that he feels that it is only right that he give his side of the
story being a doormat in Halle Berry's world. After souring record sales and
a lackluster music career, Eric could not cope with being in the shadows of a
famous wife. Well, what a come back. Not a hit record, or a multi-million
dollar record deal, rather a sorry plea to ride on the coat-tails of his
own bad taste. Maybe that's the plug he was waiting for to spark his career.
Doing The Right Thang
It seems somebody in Hollywood is doing
the right thing when it comes to apparent pedophile R Kelly.
So many singers and rappers are still rushing to do collaborations with the
Chicago "I Believe I Can Fly" singer like rapper Twista,
negating the fact that he's had a shaming past wooing the likes of
Aaliyah and other underage girls in more ways than one. It was all
too obvious that him penning an entire album, "Age Ain't Nothing But A Number"
for a girl of 14 who he'd eventually marry secretly and churning out not too
kosher songs, "Seems Like You're Ready", which sounds like a plea to rob some
child of her virginity, would point the finger at his guilt, but alas people
still don't believe. At least Spike Lee has some sense,
seeing a distinction between Kelly and Kobe Bryant's rape
case saying, "I can't make that
separation," Lee said. "I saw that DVD with him and those girls. I have a
9-year-old daughter. I look at him in a different light now. I can't listen to
his music, and I wouldn't buy a record of his." Will the public turn their
heads the other way much like they did with Michael Jackson
in the early 90's, only for the same story to resurface? Only time will tell
and many are whispering perhaps, R Kelly will be doing it.
No Love
When rumor surfaced that Denzel
Washington and wife were splitting because of a supposed affair with
co-star Sanaa Lathan, they were quickly dispelled as
fabricated to smudge Denzel's squeaky clean image especially at the height of
his career. But, it seems that another star couple has the same rumor control
buzzing a breakup is amiss due to infidelity. Word is traveling that
Samuel L. Jackson and wife actress Latanya Richardson are
calling it quits. Perhaps this will also be proven false as just a ploy to
cause a stir in the world of black entertainment. Inquiring minds want to
know.

Noses Off
You'd think the Jackson family's infamous
destruction of their Afrocentric noses would prompt future generations of
performance artists to stop the violence, but alas there's another to add to
the list of facial editing. We all know Lil Kim shaved
away some nostril a couple years back (along with some common sense) leaving
a lopsided and unattractive blower, but now, one hit wonder songstress
Amerie has been rumored to have chopped away as well. The
singer of last summer's hit "Why can't we Fall In Love" apparently believed
her big nose was the reason behind the relationship lapse. You can check
out her new nostril fix in the Mase video, "Welcome Back".
SUG will give her a partial welcome because she's returned with a few pieces
missing!

Permanent Vacation?
Well SUG fans, this one come from one of our loyal readers so we can't
verify any of it, but was too juicy to past up posting. It reads as
follows: 'Word has it from a relative the works on Good Day Live that
Jillian
Barbarie
started drinking again, after more then a year
of sobriety. She started the mood swings that her Zoloft couldn't control and
Steve Edwards just couldn't take it anymore. Jillian is in rehab and
will not be asked back to the show. Seems like her flash in the pan career is
over finally. It is amazing that there has been no comment from Edwards and
Lucy as to what happened to Jillian. Only in the first week when he said
Jillian was "on vacation", RIGHT. Permanent vacation.' Of course SUG wouldn't
wish those kinds of problems on anybody, but we want to thank our undercover
SUG reporter for searing that little piece of dirt with us.
Still
With Her
At the premier for newest movie, Dodgeball, Ben Stiller and wife, actress
Christine Taylor noted their latest collaboration in the film. Though
things seemed cordial between the two, funny man Ben seemed a bit uncomfortable
standing next to his wife. Rumors have been circulating that since the birth of
their child, Christine's quest to lose the baby fat has gone beyond baby and now
threatens more serious weight issues. Though she did appear extremely thin, no
one can confirm for sure if there is a
problem... Friends of the couple say Stiller is still in love with Christine,
but just wants her to be 'ok'. Knowing the Stiller's track record of making hit
comedies, she'll certainly be 'ok' with the pay.

Here Comes The Bribe
The news is all over the world about Jennifer Lopez and Mark
Anthony's secret wedding this past weekend. But it seems too
coessential that Mark is suddenly planning a major move into the motion picture
arena while Jennifer is working hard at her own career rebound. What better way
to introduce Marks new record release and keep Jay-lolo in the news. How
about staging a quickie marriage for the media. Come on, the woman was
suppose to be madly in love less than six months ago with Bennifer. Ah, but wait
if this time around Lolo is pregnant then that might add some creditability to
what is bring labeled in the press as a joke. SUG says if you believe this one,
I got a bridge in New York for sale.
Julian Bye Barbarian?
Has Steve Edwards and America finally gotten enough of Jillian
Barbarie? Fans of the show know very well that Julian has not been
herself lately. The self claimed starlet/weathergirl, whatever that is,
has been loosing show after show with the cancellation of her Extreme Dating
show and she hasn't been asked back for the Fox NFL show. Insiders have noticed
her extreme mood swings which may have resulted in her being eliminated from her
last and most desperately needed gig. Donald Trump couldn't have
said it better, "You're Fired". Or, maybe she's not cause girlfriend has
some friends upstairs at Fox. Co-host Steve claims Julian is on vacation this
week. SUG readers will stay tuned to find out the dealie-o.

China Doll
It appears that Britney Spears has been given the green light to
perform five concerts in China, but first she is will have to make some changes
to her racy show. Chinese officials are prepared to let strut her stuff in
Shanghai and Beijing, but they want to know what she will be wearing in advance.
Britney will make history by taking her Hotel Onyx tour to the communist
republic nonetheless, because only a handful of Western stars have ever played
there. "When we penciled in the China dates we were all told that special rules
may be put in place before she takes her show there," said a tour insider. "She
may have to cover up a little and some of the content of the show will certainly
have to be revised. It's very racy at the moment." SUG figures that the language
barrier should be a sufficient cover for some of the suggestive lyrics in some
of her songs.

Out the House
Rapper and actor Snoop Dogg has
filed for divorce from his wife of seven years, Shante Broadus.
They have been married since 1997 and have three children. The court papers
cited irreconcilable differences for the breakup, however, insiders have
stated that Shante was finally fed up with Snoop's multiple cases of
infidelity and with his increasingly busy schedule, the Dogg was always out
the house. Fear not for Shante because it appears there was no prenuptial
agreement when they tied the knot. With wild Snoop Dogg off the leash, all
bitches beware!
Idol Glitch
Insiders have rumors flying around about the
voting system devised by American Idol producers. If you've tried to dial for
your favorite contestant in the past and received a busy signal, then you were
a witness to the inevitable lopsided votes for the wrong contestants. Fear
is running rampant with Fox and Idol producers to create a better voting
system for the next season of American Idol. Don't be surprised if the real
winner loses again for the finale and Fox's number one show's loss of
credibility causes them to suffer in the ratings the next time around.

A Burning
Sensation
If you were to ask Usher if he's looking for love these days, he'd
probably say, "it depends on who's asking". Friends of the crooner have noticed
that since the breakup with TLC singer Chilli, Usher's been keeping a low
profile on the dating scene. Having been rumored to have a crush on MTV VJ
Vanessa after publicity flirting with the beauty queen on air, it seems
that's the only type of woman he's even entertaining as "girlfriend" material.
According to sources, because of what happened to Kobe Bryant, Usher's
been paranoid that the same thing could happen to him. Some regular girl could
be out to get his money or worse and given that Usher has seen his share of
heartbreak and deception by the hands of unknown women, he's not going to take
that chance anymore. Sorry girls across the world, if you want Usher in your
home, you're gonna just have to stick to buying his CDs.

Family Does Matter
Tragedy seems to be a common factor in the lives of once "Child Stars". From
Todd Bridges to Corey Haim, drug abuse and mismanagement of
wealth send far too many to the poor house, drug rehab, tabloid exploitation
or even death. It's a wonder Britney Spears is able to cope with the
continuous scrutiny of growing up in the public eye. Perhaps she's lucky to
not have been a one hit wonder and be blessed with a family that's not out to
hit the lottery with her success. Such is not the case for once child actor,
Jaimee Foxworth, who made her debut on the hugely popular show, Family
Matters. In 1989 at the age of 10, Jaimee won the role of the youngest
daughter Judy and went on to do 4 seasons of the show before being written out
of the storyline and into anonymity. Now in her early 20's, she's been
through the ropes, having battled alcoholism, depression and destitution
prompted in part by a judges' ruling that her trust fund of over $500,000 be
used to save her family from bankruptcy. What did she do to combat all the
bad luck? Well, she became a porn star taking on the name Crave and leaving
behind the family that she felt took her dream livelihood. Having performed
in over a dozen movies, she's retired from the porn business and wants to
concentrate on getting her acting chops back together. Sadly for Jaime, the
road for most porn stars usually ends at X, but we shall soon see.

Keys Opens the Door
Audiences and critics alike are commenting on
how Alicia Keys' exceptional vocals and showmanship puts her on top of
the "Ladies First" mega concert that also features Missy Elliott and
Beyonce. A reviewer from the LA Times was quoted saying that Beyonce was
missing "character, passion and surprise in her vocals and choreography". Many
were also noticing how busy Keys' is these days, making special appearances on
local and national network shows including Oprah Winfrey and "The View".
Some say these appearances are contributing to her increasing popularity.
"Alicia has definitely become a better live performer in the vocal department."
states one of our SUG readers. We only hope that all of this newfound respect
for Keys doesn't create a riff between camps. At least not before the rest of
the country has seen this fantastic show and can make their own assessment.
It's
Gettin' Hot In Herre!
For a large part of Murder Inc. recording artist Ashanti's career, rumors
have circulated that she had an ongoing affair with her married mentor,
rapper Ja Rule. These rumors can now rest because Ashanti has apparently
been seen cuddling up with St. Louis rapper Nelly of the St. Lunatics.
Close insiders are saying the twosome thoroughly enjoy one another's company
and have been caught holding hands as they exited the Trump International
Hotel in the wee hours of Saturday morning. A couple weeks ago they
snuggled up in his hometown over dinner. Nelly, who was once rumored to
have a thing for Beyonce Knowles, after flirting with the diva on an MTV
special, was quickly linked to Destiny's Child member Kelly Rowland,
after
their song collaboration a couple years back. Whatever the case, he can now
rest assure that he has finally won over an R&B chanteuse. The only hope is
they both get in the studio and make magic before that spark of celebrity
and romance fades.

Get a Pillow For Paula
Many of our SUG readers have expressed their concern with Paula Abdul's
health of late. In recent television appearances she has been slurring her words
and a trip to the ladies room during a commercial brake on American Idol caused
her to arrive at her seat late. There is speculation that Paula may be on some
type of medication or suffering from some sort of illness. Some think that her
extremely busy schedule is taking a toll on her health. SUG suggests that what
ever the case may be, Paula should takes it slow and get some rest girlfriend,
because many folks are in love with you and would be heartbroken if they
couldn't enjoy your warmth and inner sunshine in our living room every week on
American Idol.
Flockhart
Puts Ford in The Doghouse
Rumor has it that the on-again off-again
relationship of Calista
Flockhart and Harrison Ford's
could be finally and officially over because of a dog. Apparently Ford isn't
being sympathetic enough over the death of his girlfriend's favorite feline.
"Harrison doesn't think losing a dog is a big deal," one source explained. "It
is causing all sorts of problems because Webster the dog was essentially
Calista's best friend. She can see why Harrison is upset with the death of his
mother but she doesn't think that should detract from her own grief. She
believes he doesn't really care. SUG says, Calista please get an acting job
because it seems that you are losing more than just a dog, you're loosing all of
your marbles.
Dumped From Trump?
Well SUG lovers, it appears that Donald Trump
has been determined to change his "Donald Chump" label with the latest
installment of his hit show "The Apprentice". Without hesitation and a little
explanation, Amy and Nick were the latest to hear those two
dreaded words, "You're Fired". Could be that the Trump camp has paid a visit to
these very pages (see below). Nevertheless it still appears that things might be
rigged for a particular outcome, especially considering the obvious blunders
made by Omarosa who is now working for Kwame as he tries to
organize a Jessica Simpson concert at the Trump Taj Mahal. What also may
raise suspicion is the recent addition of a live two-hour finale that decides
who will be Trump's new apprentice. Trump has been quoted saying that he loves
to win, but the question is just how far is he willing to go to win the ratings
game. Could all of this be a publicity ploy? SUG readers wants to know the
dealeo!
Baby Bob
When high profile actors Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie
married, it seemed to be a love that wouldn't die even after death. After all,
they carried each other's blood around their necks. But, then Angelina adopted
a baby and soon afterwards Billy, who'd already had three kids in a much earlier
marriage, dropped out of sight and speculation hinted that the relationship
ended because Billy did not want children. Now a year later, it's apparent that
Billy has changed his mind about the baby business. Billy is now expecting a
baby in October with his current girlfriend. People are saying there may be a
harsher reality to the bitterness between Angelina and Billy. Sources are
saying Billy's problem wasn't having a child, but having one with Jolie. Now
that's cold.

Nep New Tunes
Interscope Records artist Eminem now has new label mates in the form of
the super-producing team of The Neptunes, who have defected
from Arista Records in a deal worth around $5 million. The Producing duo were
extremely disappointed with the promotional effort for their new CD with Arista
and the Label didn't seen to have a problem with letting The Neptunes go.
The duo will continue to sign and produce for artists on their own label Star
Trak, as well as acts on Interscope and those affiliated with the label.
Is
It Visa Versacorp or Chump the Trump?
People are
wondering if the Producers of NBC TV's "The Apprentice" is playing with the game
in order to keep the show spicy! On the last episode the two remaining teams,
Versacorp's Amy and Nick and Protégé's Kwame, Bill
and Troy
were given the assignment to rent out one of Trump Towers plush apartment
spaces. It looked as though the Protégé team had the winning hand when suddenly
at the last minute a renter resurfaced to offer the Versacorp team 5,800.00 more
than what they were asking to rent the space originally. Could it be that
producers felt that Amy and Nick's budding romance would make a
juicier ratings grabber? If this is true then it looks like Amy is playing all
the men on the show, including Donald Trump. Another hint that the
producers are scrambling to improve ratings is next week's return of Omarosa,
one of the show's most entertaining contestants and if she doesn't spice up
"The Apprentice" than nothing will. As for poor old Donald, who seems to have
been bitten by the acting bug with his recent appearances in commercials and
hosting Saturday Night Live, but his business advisers should remind him that
the last billionaire businessman, Howard Hughes who went berserko in
Hollywood ended up on a funny farm… and judging from Trump's hairdo of late, the
straight jacket might be right around the corner.

To Be Or Not To Be... Gay?
Rumors are in abundance that Star Jones’ fiancé Ted Reynolds who
recently proposed to her at the NBA All Star Game is actually gay. When
confronted with the allegations, Star released an ambiguous statement saying
“Both of us know everything there is to know about each other”. On the other
hand Ben Affleck found out that it might have been better for him to
combat homosexual rumors than being dubbed “Bennifer”. In recent interviews and
appearances to promote his new film “Jersey Girl”, on Access Hollywood and
hosting "Saturday Night Live", Affleck made multiple homosexual inferences. Is
this Bens’ attempt to restore his box office creditability and just who could he
be trying to impress? The real question is how far is Ben willing to go for
stardom or has he already made that trip before? It could all end up as
just another insult to the Gay community. SUG fans are eager to know!

A PYT For MJJ?
SUG figured they'd have to eventually release a story exposing Michael
Jackson's heterosexual escapades at one time or another aside from his
fishy marriage to Debbie Rowe and his odd relationship with Lisa
Marie Presley. So, now it appears the new woman in Michael's life has
come forward to defend her man! Aspiring French model Joanna Thomae,
21, went on Entertainment Tonight to address tabloid reports claiming
she's involved with the embattled singer. "We have a special
relationship," the bombshell blonde spilled. "He really cares for me and
I really care for him. That's all I can say. We spend a lot of time
together." Word has it that MJJ would fly Thomae to Neverland, when it
was a "home", and they would indulge in video games, old movies and bed
sharing. While the French beauty denies "sleeping" with Michael, there
was no denial of spit-swapping. "We were close...We kissed each other, but
the rest is private." People are saying that's just as disturbing as the
Martha Stewart trial verdict...alas but she is guilty...and Michael?
Britney Goes Low
Not many were impressed at Britney Spears recent concert in Arizona
as Britney left little to the imagination, strutting around the stage in
bra and panties for her self-fulfillment song 'Touch of My Hand'. The
raunchy show clearly stunned the several parents who were seen leaving.
Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, it did! Britney sat down
at a flower-covered piano for the song "Everytime," and went on a tirade
about her recent quickie marriage and divorce by stating "the past six
months have been like a roller coaster. There's been a lot of ups and
there's been a lot of downs." However, "at the end of the day, it's mainly
who I am right now that matters". And we thought Mariah Carrie had
a breakdown...ooh! But no explanation could justify her oblivious lip
sinking throughout her entire performance. Oops, she didn't do it again,
singing that is!
Hurling Insults
Elizabeth Hurley must have a sign on her back that says "Fool",
because once again she's the butt end of the joke. Ms. Hurley first came
into the public eye when then boyfriend Hugh Grant was arrested for
having sex with a prostitute; then she resurfaced on the tabloid scene
when her millionaire beau denied the paternity of their son and now she's
back, this time receiving ridicule from her peers about her "artistic
merit." Oscar nominee Samantha Morton and the director of her
upcoming film, "The Method," have voiced their disdain for Elizabeth going
so far as to label her acting
"horrible." Director Duncan Roy also went on to comment on
Hurley's looks as "not a pretty sight" without makeup. The one question
remains, doesn't everyone in Hollywood look bad without make-up?

Destiny's Child
While everyone just knew songbird Beyonce Knowles would be the
first in her family to marry, namely hip hop retiree Jay Z, it
seems that she will defy assumption once more. Her 17 year old sister,
Solange is Solo No Mo, marrying a college football player from
her hometown, Houston. Solange and Daniel Smith were married in the
Bahamas last weekend surrounded by extended family, parents Matthew and
Tina Knowles, Kelly Rowland and of course big sis Beyonce. When asked
about her young love escapade, Solange said, "I am excited about this new
phase in my life... I am very happy and feel truly blessed to have the
unconditional love and support of my parents and my entire family."
Solange, who is also a singer/songwriter/actress, will be seen in "The
Johnson Family Vacation" this Spring alongside Cedric The Entertainer, Bow
Wow and Vanessa Williams. Insiders speculate that the marriage could be a
result of an unplanned pregnancy... inquiring minds will know in around
nine months.
A
Snip of Snipes
A Manhattan Family Court judge has issued an arrest warrant for action
star Wesley Snipes after he twice failed to submit to a paternity
test requested by an Indiana woman who thinks he's the father of her
3-year-old son. The "Blade" star has been wanted since July 25, when the
judge issued the warrant and set bail at $250,000. The woman, Lanise
Pettis, is a former cocaine addict and prostitute who claims the child was
conceived when she had sex with Snipes in a Chicago crack house in 2000.
The 32-year-old welfare mom says she's known Snipes "all my life," but the
Bronx-reared actor has denied he's the father. "I don't think he might be
the father because he's refused the test," Pettis said in an exclusive
interview with The New York Post Newspaper. "It's because he and I had
sexual activity." She said that she can't understand why Snipes hasn't
complied with the order. "I would have thought that anyone who has denied
it to the hilt would have done anything to clear his name." Sources said
that police would not actively pursue Snipes since the order is a bench
warrant in a civil case. Snipes' lawyer, David Matlof, did not return
calls but can you blame him?
Lost in Losing
Perhaps the entire world's heart went out to loser Bill Murray,
during Sunday nights terribly boring Oscar presentation. The most
embarrassing moment was when Murray's so-called friend and fellow SNL
alumnus Billy Crystal, put the spotlight on his frustration.
When Murray was apparently trying to make a break for the exit, good old
Billy-Boy Crystal begged "Don't go, Bill! We love you." Murray who looked
positively crushed when Sean Penn took the Best Actor prize for
Mystic River was forced to remain in his seat to save further
embarrassment. With show-biz friends like that, who needs enemies.

More Bad Idol?
American Idol producers went at length to make sure that scandal
would not reach this year's competition as it'd done last year with booted
contestants Frenchie Davis, Jaered Andrews
and Corey Clark, but alas though background checks are
efficient, anything can happen in a day! Thus, a hopeful AI winner set to
compete next week has been let go after being arrested on Monday on
suspicion of drunk driving. Donnie Williams has now been
replaced by the 22 year old Oklahoman George Huff,
remembered as the tall guy who wore a scully hat to try and shed the "too
old to be a pop idol" image Simon Cowell and the other
judges gave him early in the competition. Though he indeed may have a
good voice, the brotha probably will not win the competition, but may get
as far as Ricky Smiley, you know the guy who annoyed
America with his Eddie Murphy impersonations. We will
soon see. So, far the show has been on a rocky road talent wise, so the
producers are looking to spruce it up with some celebrity judges starting
with Barry Manilow. Inquiring minds can't wait to
see how Barry will tell those that do, they suck!
Bad Idol
The folks at American Idol are scurrying around to improve the Contestants’
performances for this Tuesday night show adding on additional rehearsals and
considering a new band. There was a considerable drop in viewers for last
week’s Wednesday night results show. Judges Simon Cowell, Paula
Abdul and Randy Jackson were extremely disappointed but so was
the American audience. Insiders tell SUG that some of the folks at FOX are
fearing an early retirement of their mega hit show if
lackluster performances
continue and
more Idol's fall short.
Meanwhile Simon Cowell is seriously considering a revamp of Idol's audition
process
next seasons,
if there is one. Particularly in comparison to
the high level of talent found in some of American Idol's competitors or
should we say copycats shows. Both CBS's Star Search and Oprah Winfrey's
brand new talent search segment on her show have discovered far better
singers. SUG will be watching or should we say listening to find out what's
next.

Scarface
Hollywood actor Kiefer Sutherland was
rushed to a hospital to receive six stitches after his face was slashed
during a bar fight. The 24 star has been left disfigured following the brawl
during the week in Los Angeles, forcing the show's angry producers to delay
filming while his face heals. After the incident he visited the set to
apologize to fellow cast and crew for the disruption in their schedule. Two
years ago it was claimed that Sutherland would go straight to the same Los
Angeles bar after filming on the hit TV show and drink the night away until
closing time.
No
Naomi
British beauty Naomi Cambell has been
ditched by her boyfriend of eight months for another supermodel. The
stunning Londoner, 33, was dating Italian Matteo Marzotto before he
dumped her for model Vanessa Incontrada. Both fashion queens are
appearing on Italian television for adverts for cell phones. Some say
Cambell is so hurt by the breakup that she stays home and cries soup bowls
of tears all night long!
Star Sees Stars
The View host Star Jones got engaged
on Sunday at the All Star Game in Los Angeles. Star sported a four karat
engagement ring on her morning show, blinding the entire staff. No wonder
Jones has been dropping pounds like flies, she doesn't want to stampede her
new husband in bed on her wedding night.
All Star Rip Off
Stars were un-studded at many NBA All Star
parties held over this past weekend. Hotel robberies and stick-ups at gun
point fleeced the likes of LaBron James, Gary Payton
and other pro ballers and entertainers. The NBA League was quick to squash
the reports of such incidents for fear of hurting the leagues reputation.
But many of the parties got out of hand, sporting tons of hoochies and hoods
who disrupted the partying flow and put cleleb bodyguards on high alert. One
incident involving Bad Boy Records rapper Loon, released early Saturday
morning on $1 million bail after he was charged with attempted murder during
a night club melee that left a security guard dead in a stabbing, further
tainted the All Star festivities, causing many celebs wanting to opt out on
next years all star fun. With all that bling-bling floating around, can you
blame jewel thieves and burglars for not passing up on one of the biggest
heists of the year.
Jones-in'
Apparently Catherine Zeta-Jones
is letting' her career-envy toward Nicole Kidman, get the
best of her. According to the New York Posts' page six, her secret
preoccupation that dates back to "Moulin Rouge." when Baz Luhrmann
tested Catherine, Nicole, and Renée Zellweger for the lead.
Catherine really wanted it, but Nicole got it and then went on to win the
Golden Globe that year. Now the Welsh beauty may have new competition.
Zeta-Jones turned down roles in two films currently in production: "Mr. and
Mrs. Smith" first offered to Kidman and "Alexander." While Catherine's
kidding around with Nicole it seems she should pay more attention to
Angelina Jolie. She's the one who landed both movie roles.
Outkasted
It seems like CBS is
apologizing again and again. This time its to Native Americans who were
upset by Outkast's American Indian-themed get-up at the Grammy
Awards. Last week, the Native American Cultural Center called for a boycott
of the network, saying Outkast's performance featured "the most disgusting
set of racial stereotypes" it had ever seen. Responds a CBS rep said "We are
very sorry if anyone was offended. Perhaps next week a representative of CBS
will make an official statement that the network apologizes for being so
sorry about being sorry.

Justin Punks Out!
Rumors were flying around the web that suggested Ashton Kutcher of
MTV's "Punk'd" fame, somehow could have been involved in the Janet
Jackson Super Boob incident, but those rumors are unfounded. In fact it
appears that Justin Timberlake is the one being labeled the Punk for
not standing up on Janet's behalf. Many folks are speaking out including
Star Jones of ABC's "The View, citing that Justin is displaying the same
cowardly traits he did when he appeared on "Punk'd" where Ashton's practical
joke almost had Timberlake in tears. Thus far he has not taken any
responsibility for the Super Bowl disaster, acting as if he was as surprised
as everyone else. Insiders have suggested that both Janet and Justin were in
on the last minute change and it was a costumer who actually made an faulty
change to the wardrobe. Janet made a public apology, and had taken full
responsibility for the incident exonerating both MTV and CBS's, but even
four after the incident Justin sheepishly still acts as if he was
uninvolved. A Grammy spokesperson told reporters that Janet's presence is no
longer required because of a tribute for Luther Vandross has been
canceled, but it's a no-brainer that if this incident did not occur she
would be definitely invited to attend. Meanwhile there will be no reprimand
for Timberlake who apparently will be present at the Grammy's. Is it fair
that Janet take all the heat for the mistake that both she and Justin
planned? SUG thinks not!

Jay Z &
Beyonce for Ever, Ever!
Jay Z has announced that he and
Beyonce have plans to marry very
soon. At a New York record party rapper and Nets owner Jay Z declared his
deep love for the beautiful super star
Beyonce and told those in
attendance that he wants to spend the rest of his life with her. SUG is
happy to hear about the couples plans to marry. Both
Beyonce and Jay Z have been
smart about their courtship and have kept to themselves.
They won’t have to go through what Ben and Jen went through with the press,
following their every move and never allowing them to develop the
relationship.
Weaved Out Paris
Sources claim that Hilton Heir Paris Hilton has weaved out for her
role on the television show Vegas. Paris has been sporting short hair for
awhile now but suddenly on the Vegas show, she is seen with hair down to her
booty! It’s a good thing too because Paris does not have a caboose at all.
Cover that flat butt and go girl!
Super Boob!
The entire world got a peep of super star Janet Jackson’s right
breast as she and Justin Timberlake took a bow after their half time
performance at the Super Bowl. As Justin moved his arm back into position,
he ripped off a piece of Janet’s top and pushed her breast out for air. As
the cameraman zoomed in for a closer look, the stage lights went out and the
only thing in view was the reflection of Jackson’s nipple ring. After the
show, CBS was flooded with calls. Justin responded with an apology stating
that the wardrobe mal functioned and that the incident was not intentional.
The half time show was produced by MTV and CBS stated they would no longer
allow MTV to produce any half time shows in the future. The big question is
whether or not the stunt was planned. LTG’s sure that it will all come out
in the wash or the bra! Insiders say that Janet was crushed and some blame
Timberlake for his clumsy chorography. Needless to say people around the
globe are scrambling for a copy of the halftime festivities. One thing is
for sure, Janet certainly let it all hang out for the love of the game.
Shaq Attack!
Angry Lakers Shaq O Neal used a few curse words in Sundays after game
interview. The network was slow to bleep out his statement. When the
interviewer reminded Shaq that he was on the air he responded by saying “I
don’t give a s_ _ _!” Then he told the newsman he didn’t care if they
heard it or not. We all know that his blowup will cost him a hefty fine.
But it appears that money doesn’t matter when Shaq wants to get back!
Does Michaels Sperm Swim?
It seems as if some folk doubt if Michael Jackson’s children come
from his sperm! Rumor has it that the mother of his children has not been
able to get a return phone call form the Pop King lately and it’s really
pissing her off. So much so that she is threatening to push for joint
custody. Sources claim she has also admitted she was implanted with sperm
from a donor bank. Well from the look of those kids, either they have the
same skin discolor illness that Michael has or their mother has been playing
around! Of course time will always tell.
Kobe Shoots Another One.
One wonders exactly how many blondes who work in hotels are going to pop up
with a tale of lust they had with Kobe Bryant. It seems like this
most recent hotel clerk has been having an affair with Lobe for over a year
and had just cut it off. The young blonde claimed she felt guilty because
Kobe was married and she had a boyfriend. The trail of hotel workers left by
the super athlete exceeds the trail to Mt. Rushmore! We think Kobe needs to
try staying home more and LTG sure hopes it works out for Kobe.
Paula’s Rage
Word has it that Paula Abdul hasn’t been happy with any female
applicants on American Idol. Every girl who auditions, according to Paula,
needs to work on her pitch. She is never sure of any of the girls but every
young man who serenades her, regardless of their pitch, gets Paula’s vote
and goes to Hollywood. Poor Paula doesn’t seem to be growing older
gracefully. Perhaps she’s depressed over her blonde blue eyed beau from
Arizona who recently called it quits with the former dancer. Whatever her
problem, LTG hopes she can find it in her heart not to be so jealous of
young beauties. Listen Paula, age has its high points!
Hip Hop Mogul Goes For Broke
Major hip hop business mogul Master P has filed for bankruptcy. That
shocked many in the entertainment world since last year Forbes magazine
listed Master P’s worth over 350 million dollars. Now that’s a lot of money
to go through in a year, even for a high roller like P. LTG hopes Master P
gets his finances together again because we like his independent spirit. He
was one of the first rappers to distribute his own records and make films
with his own money. We believe Master P will rise up again because
innovators always do!

Will You Be
There? Doubt It!
After all the praise ex-wife Debbie Rowe gave
Michael Jackson when questioned about the baby dangling incident,
you'd think she'd be the last to abandon ship. After all, it is reported
and quite evident Ms. Rowe was passed along a pretty handsome sum to
relinquish all custody of 6 year old Prince Michael and 5
year old Paris, even before the split was announced. But,
now, Rowe, who is a devout Jew may fight to get back custody of her two
children as well as the mystery dangling son, Blanket,
because of the heavy Nation of Islam presence in Michael's life while on
trial for molestation charges. If she were to go to court, though, all the
nasty details of the payoff will become public, strongly damaging her
chances of winning custody. On the other hand, reports are surfacing that
the two light-skinned children may not be MJ's and that the artificial
insemination sample that made Rowe pregnant was a 'witch's brew' with a
number of paternal options other than Jackson. Regardless of this factor,
even if paternity tests ruled out Jackson as dad, he still remains their
father having raised them from birth. People are saying MJ will over the
course of this trial find, you may pay off people, but money runs out and
leaves room for the truth to resurface.
Ray 2 BK
Remember that annoying little brother that hung off his big sis
pigtails and made failed attempt after failed attempt to become his own hip
hop star? Well, he's back. After tagging along on Brandy's
show Moesha, then releasing a CD where he displayed his "gangsta" with
Lil Kim, Ray J is back without family
assistance. This time, he will be given another chance at celebrity by
J-Boog, Raz-B and Lil Fizz
of B2K. Deciding not to take the destructible
path their rival girl group 3LW did when they lost a
member, they've instead invited Ray J to replace former lead singer
Omarion. It looks like
Omarion can't have his cake
and eat it too. Stating that he had a change of heart recently with
Marques Houston while in New York promoting B2K's upcoming film,
"You Got Served", "In the future, I hope we do get back together. I would
definitely want to do that [once any solo projects are over]. I think the
people would enjoy it," Omarion told MTV News. Looks like Ray J, as funny
as it seems, may've taken your chance to reunite away. Hopefully, he won't
destroy any fame the group could keep as well... people are saying he does
have that touch. When he joined the cast of Moesha, the show was cancelled,
when he linked up with Lil Kim to record his album, she got a nose job and
became a hip hop laughing stock...We shall soon see.

The Writing On The Wall
The world can finally breathe a sigh of relief. It appears that Ben
Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have officially split up. A
representative for Lopez told both Entertainment Tonight and E! News, "I am
confirming the reports that Jennifer Lopez has ended her engagement to Ben
Affleck." The split comes on the heels of reports that Lopez had been
spending time with former boyfriend Sean Combs and as Affleck was
gearing up promotion for his new film Jersey Girl, in which Lopez has a
small part. Inside sources are speculating that after the disappointing
numbers for Affleck's recent movie "Paycheck" and the fear of a continuing
career down slide, the new year was the best time to jump ship from what
appeared to have been a disastrous relationship for him. The Folks in Ben's
camp can only hope that his decision to bail this late isn't too late.
Robbing Roberts
Actress Julia Roberts is being sued by four female musicians that are
accusing her of paying them less for appearing in her movie "Mona Lisa
Smile" than the male musicians. The woman have filed a lawsuit in Manhattan
Supreme Court claiming they were paid half of what they were promised. But
Ms. Roberts and her production company have hit back with a countersuit
stating that the foursome, tried to "harass, embarrass and annoy her in
order to extract a sizeable settlement". Is Roberts robbing the robbers or
are the robbers rocking with Roberts robbers, I get so confused.
No Forest From The Trees
It appears that Forest Whitaker doesn't own his forest! He's being
sued for one million dollars by an construction firm Whitaker and his wife
hired to do a million dollars or more worth of re-decorating on their
Hollywood Hills Mansion. But Whitaker only coughed up $850,000.00 toward his
bill. He must have forgotten he owed the firm much more. Could it be too
many romps in the forest could have made him loose his mind up in dere???
Well, now he may loose his little love den if he doesn't pay to the piper!

Ready to Trade In Old
Ford
Indiana Jones star Harrison Ford's adventure with Ally McBeal's
Calista Flockhart is close to being over. Ford who was presumed to be
pressing ahead with wedding plans after the finalization of his divorce last
week showed at a Mexico Bar partying like a bachelor. Insiders say that in the
past, Calista has been very patient with Harrison, who has been promising
matrimony a good part of their two year relationship. However recently he's
been dragging his cold feet. That didn't sit well with Ms. Flockhart who of
course issued ultimatums. On a recent trip to San Felipe, Baja California,
Ford was spotted downing at least five tequilas with beer chasers and dancing
and flirting with women in a local bar. It was there that he admitted his
relationship with Flockhart was, "On the Rocks". Locals were stunned to find
themselves in the company of the normally reclusive star, after he flew
himself in on his own private jet and stayed in a local hotel.
SUG wonders why stars who are no longer "the flavor of the month" always seem
to have trouble in their relationships.
B2 K.O.
After what has been described as a breakup due to inner friction and "growing
up woes", Omarion of teen sensation, B2K has finally
admitted the split is definitely final. Though the other members, J-Boog,
Raz-B and Lil Fizz say everything happened because of a dispute
over, what other than money, the root of all band breakups. They say they
were financially, "raped", and never received payment for their stints on the
successful Scream tour series. Omarion claims not a penny had been stolen
from the group and is sticking with their manager Chris Stokes. Even
with all this drama, the group has a movie set to open later this month,
"You've Got Served". People are wondering what the seating arrangements will
be?

Puff Goes P. Diddy
With running NYC marathons being the only thing bringing media
attention to Puff Daddy aka P. Diddy aka the man behind Bad Boy, what
do you think he's done to turn the spotlight back on? Why, just like he did
when his relationship failed with Jennifer Lopez, changed his name.
He's shedding P. Diddy and going with his birth name Sean Combs. P. Puff, ah
excuse me, Sean made the declaration on New Year's Eve to a crowd at Nikki
Beach in St. Barts. Stars in attendance were, Naomi Campbell,
Lauren Hutton and Kim Cattrall of Sex and the City. Who wasn't
there? Da Band. The only play they get is when their show "Making Da
Band" reruns on MTV. People are saying perhaps Sean Combs can succeed in
making them a hit because P. Diddy definitely failed.
It's All In The Contract
When rapper Jay Z retired, the entertainment world saw just how
unpredictable the business and its head honchos can be. Then came word that
the relationship between Jay Z and longtime friend and partner Damon Dash
were on the outs, with rumor citing Damon as, "riding off of his (Jay Z's)
fame." But due to contracts, the two were to stay in business together, with
Rocka Fella Records being the string that tied them. So, it wasn't surprising
to see Dash in the "Change Clothes" video featuring a plethora
of other entertainment elite... Russell and Kimora Simmons,
Pharrell Williams, Naomi Campbell, to name a few. But, getting
back to contracts, apparently another head honcha in the biz has, has made a
commitment that may be hard to break off. Who could it be? we'll keep you
posted!
Oops She Did It Again, But Can
She Un-Do It Again!
In the news, yet again, is Britney Spears! And it has nothing to do
with what she is or isn't wearing, but who she is or isn't married to.
According to sources, after a wild trysts in Nevada, Saturday, Britney capped
off all the fun, with a spontaneous marriage to her hometown friend, Jason
Allen Alexander at Little White Wedding Chapel on the strip. Now whether
this was all a joke gone too far or the two are in fact, helplessly in love,
Britney should take a hint from other artists' woes when it comes to
irrevocable and possibly financially taxing contracts. Hopefully, her husband
won't mind a speedy annulment when reality sets in or else she'll be "In the
Zone" of paying alimony to the tune of more than a few million bucks. Decked
out in jeans and a baseball cap, no one from the Spears family was in
attendance to talk some sense into the diva. Wait a minute! Up in flames,
it's a bird, it's a plane.. No, it's a smoking, drinking non virgin pop star
gone wild!
SUG knows who wasn't a designated driver this
New Year's Eve! After partying like a wild woman at the Palms hotel in Las
Vegas and after getting married too, Britney Spears, according to
onlookers, was tapping the champagne bottles to the point of no return.
The 22 year old chain smoker,
Britney had to be carried to her suite by her
bodyguards. Could've been she was overwhelmed by all the fireworks or she
herself was just too darn blasted. Also in attendance, separately of course,
were Kobe Bryant and Paris Hilton. Truth seekers would've asked
the two celebs what really happened, but figured they'd either lie or start
randomly quoting Martin Luther King Jr. Nevertheless, the only way to get to
the truth to any Hollywood scandal is by watching the tape. Lucky for Spears,
the cameras weren't rolling!
A Funky Bunch of
Drama
The ladies aren't the only ones bringing drama to 2004. Back in Miami some
not so kind words were shared between Mark Wahlberg and Lenny
Kravitz. According to close sources, Mark confronted Lenny about his
ex-girlfriend Rhea Durham at a club, while out on a date with "Honey"
star Jessica Alba. Lenny as many know, was canoodling with Tom
Cruise ex Nicole Kidman, but has since moved on to new game and
apparently, Wahlberg's ex girl was one of them. Although at the time of the
confrontation, Lenny was flirting with actress Michelle Rodriguez and a
table of women, as an eyewitness recounts, "Mark walked over to Lenny and they
went outside to talk." Things got heated and ended with the two stars
shouting, "Screw you!" at each other before going back to their hotels.
Though Jessica stuck around with Mark even after his hot-tempered and
disrespectful display of possessiveness over his dating ex, Lenny was not so
lucky. Apparently, Michelle Rodriguez ignored him while doing some girl talk
of her own. Whatever the case, Lenny is letting "Love Rule" by trying to get
in the pants of every woman in Hollywood. People are saying he needs to get a
clue and stop smoozing on his last hit album, 5 years ago.
Throwing Daggers and Spears
Just when you thought there'd be no cat fighting in the world of pop stars,
Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera start to clawing! That's
right. Rumor is the reunion of Mickey Mouse Club alums JC Chasez of
NSYNC, Keri Russell of Felicity fame and Justin Timberlake is
definitely out of the picture. But, alas, this little spiff has nothing to do
with Cameron Diaz's boy toy. In fact, the coldness started when
Christina commented on the 3 way kiss with Madonna in Blender
Magazine. She said that Spears was distant and that "Every time I tried to
start a conversation with her - well, let's just say she seemed nervous the
whole time... She seems to me like a lost little girl, someone who desperately
needs guidance." How did Britney respond? She simply told Blender that
Aguilera was the one with the problems, "She comes up to me in a club in front
of all these people and tries to put her tongue down my throat!" People are
saying, Christina, Britney and Madonna need to keep their love triangle under
wraps or else they'll be more suitable for Jerry Springer than MTV.
Then again, what's the difference?
You Can't Xscape The
Truth!
Mariah Carey has been known as a musical Diva, gracing the stage with the
likes of Whitney Houston, Tina Turner and Celine Dion to
name a few. Now, after a couple years of failed albums and less than together
personal affairs; her breakup and diss by rapper Eminem and her mental
breakdown on Carson Daly's "TRL", it seems a new lawsuit may destroy
her credibility as a songwriter. According to Celebrity Justice, Mariah is
being sued by former Jermaine Dupri founded girl group, Xscape.
They claim the Diva ripped off a 1998 song they recorded and gave them no
compensation or credit. Sources say the songs so closely mirror each other in
chorus and hook, it's a wonder they didn't take action sooner. Carey has been
on the end of a plagiarism suit before, her stepfather accused her of failing
to give him credit for much of the songs on her first album, "Vision of
Love". We're all aware, Mariah has made a career of sampling known material
and making it her own, but whether she's plagiarized or not, Mariah is just
not having any luck in her endeavors lately. Shall we blame it on being a
Diva or leaving Tommy Motola, her former husband? Some say, maybe a
little of both.
You Are Alone
You'd think Michael Jackson would try to eliminate the drama in his
life rather stir more up, but such isn't quite the case lately. According to
sources, Michael has been vocally upset that longtime confident and supporter
Elizabeth Taylor didn't show up to his Neverland ranch support rally.
Taylor who is suffering from the effects of aging, was said to be "exhausted"
by her spokesperson. Not only does she have back problems, but "she just
wasn't up for" the weekend. People are saying Michael is even more upset that
his rally didn't attract any a-list names. Well, at least he's still got the
Jackson family on his side, but even that picture is not so rosy. Lawyers for
Michael recently told his family, especially Jermaine Jackson, after
comments he'd made on Larry King, to beat it. Then rumor circulated,
Katherine and Joseph Jackson were paid to defend their son on
Barbara Walters' 20/20. People are saying, the only smart one in this
whole charade is sister Janet Jackson because she's staying out of it!

The Miss Reputation of
Lauryn Hill
When the end of the Fugees
happened, it seemed music writer/producer/singer/rapper phenom Lauryn
Hill had the brightest future of the group members. Wyclef
Jean has since moved on and continued producing music for himself and
other upcoming artist, but with all the promise, where's Lauryn Hill? She
released a less than coherent Live LP, in which she seemed to be in shambles
mentally, physically and emotionally. Now, years after her multi-million
dollar classic first inspired talks of genius, "The Miseducation of Lauryn
Hill", Ms. Hill currently wears titles of a troubled paranoid who let the
business get the best of her, by those closest to her. Lauryn who is also
known for being married to Bob Marley's son Rohan,
has also been living up to what once was a subtitle in the Fugees' "Killing Me
Softly" video, she has now had 4 sons and supposedly has another on the way.
Whether this fills some type of void in her crumbling personal life, we'll
never know. Lauryn's most recent media grabber was her appearance at the
Vatican this weekend in which she lambasted the Catholic Church and launched a
tirade against abusive priests. Many are sure her intentions were good, but
her mindstate may just not be.
Change Clothes, No
Make-Up
As beautiful as the sexy and talented
Beyonce' is, she shouldn't have to worry about complaints from any
man, especially her own, however such is not the case. According to close
sources, Jay Z is so in love with the beauty, he has given up
his old player ways and intends on marrying Ms. Knowles, but with one major
request. No Make-Up!! Being the good girlfriend she is, Beyonce' has now
made a point of putting on less make-up in public. What does Jay Z have to
say to that? In the words of his newest hit, "Change Clothes" featuring
Pharell of the Neptunes, "That's so
necessary!" We doubt he'll want her to change clothes, Beyonce wears only the
hottest fashion and is set to start her own line of design. Pretty, natural
and upwardly mogul, no wonder she's a keeper!
Every Little Step
In his "My Prerogative" years, Bobby
Brown might've gotten away with quietly smacking a girlfriend or
acting out in public, but now way past his prime and public appreciation,
every little step Bobby takes seems to be all wrong. He's kind of admitted to
drug use, he's been in jail for assault and now he could face abuse charges
due to a physical blowup with his wife this past weekend. Whitney
Houston called the police on Bobby, but became resentful and at the
later court appearance, stood solidly beside him to await his fate. This
abuse rap could interfere with his parole and send him packing back to
authority custody. Bad call on Whitney, sure, but that's not even the worse
of it, one of Bobby's other baby's mama's has filed suit against Brown for
back child support for their 2 children, 12 and 15 years old. She says the
self-proclaimed King of R&B owes over 40 grand in back support. What shall
his next hit song be? Some are saying, "Across the face, The truth about a
Deadbeat".
I Wanna Dance With Some Body... Any Body
Scandalous ho tel heiress Paris Hilton has
ignored her family's order to stay indoors for few weeks to cool them down the
heat surrounding the sex tape she made with ex-boyfriend Rick Soloman
leaked onto the internet. But you can't keep a bad party girl down, or up for
that matter. The socialite donned a long brown wig as a supposed disguise this
past weekend at a rock concert at Club Lingerie in Los Angeles on Saturday
night. Meanwhile, reports are suggesting Hilton is aware her sex tape may become
public as early as this summer, and took legal advice to block it. However,
according to Friends, Hilton "never pulled the trigger - no one knows Why". Poor
little rich girl, all that money and no one pays attention to you, boo hoo.
Oh
Holy Cow
The gossip meter is buzzing about Kelly Clarkson and her obvious
weight gaining troubles. In her recent appearance in Fox's American Idol
Christmas Special, Kelly showed off quite a bit of a stomach and exposed her
none idol like chunky arms while sporting a tight fitting red dress during one
of her holiday musical numbers on the show. Also extremely noticeable was the
absence of her flawlessly smooth complexion plus she was definitely lacking her
usual bubbly personality. Inside sources speculate that Ms. Clarkson is starting
to become a little bit worn of all the media circus surrounding her meteoric
rise to stardom. SUG says get the money while you can then get some rest
girlfriend. Meanwhile I'm sure you notice how Clay Aikin took over the

Kelly out to the pasture. Other weight gain buzz has Janet Jackson
putting on a few pounds during her down-time away from the spotlight. Hey dirt
lovers, don't be so hard on your superstars, everybody puts on a few pounds

Cleaning Out His Closet
It appears Michael Jackson is not the only one being "lynched" as his
brother Jermaine Jackson would put it, by the unrelenting media.
Apparently, rapper Eminem is losing fans and street cred over comments he
made as a teenaged aspiring rapper. According to sources, a taped copy of Em's
ode to an old girlfriend, were racially charged and derogatory lyrics
disrespecting black women. Eminem says the young woman he was with at the time
dogged him and that was his way of getting back at her. "I was young then...,"
he went on to say. Known to be down with black people, Eminem says he's in no
way a racist and he apologizes for what he said in anger. So far after flack
from his lyrics, the white hot rapper has admitted that he does not hate blacks
nor gays, the only question remains, what about women?

This newest gossip tidbit comes from one of
our anonymous dirt deliverers. At this point, we can not verify
whether this is true or not, however like everything in entertainment, the

It seemed like the old Hollywood, opposites attract romance. African
American actress Vivica A. Fox, of new Quentin Tarantino
blockbuster, "Kill Bill" was rising high off a slew of Black Hollywood
hits, i.e. "Two Can Play That Game" with other "BH" notables, Morris
Chestnut, Gabrielle Union after a sizeable lull in her career
and a not so happily ever after marriage. Then she meets Hip Hop phenom
50 Cent and its love or something like it. We first got a glimpse of
the two together at the MTV awards which sparked buzz noting that Vivica
had gone from Six Nine to 50 Cents of pleasure! Well, after 5
months or so, the honeymoon is over and who better to let the cat out the
bag other than the man himself, 50 Cent. On the morning show with
Howard Stern, today, 50 cent publicly admitted to not only sleeping
with Vivica, but he even went into great detail as to the positions he put
the slender silent beauty in. After not holding back on the deal in the
sack, 50 Cent then said that he could not trust Vivica and that she was
just a publicity hound looking to further her career and keep her name in
the spotlight by dating the hottest thing in Hip Hop to date. When asked
how the end of the "relationship" played out, 50 remarked in his usual
swagger, "I just stopped calling." Though 50 is now on the outs with
Vivica, many are saying she'll soon be tooting the horn with her own
interpretation of 50 and his "G Unit". For now, we'll just have to take
his word for it. Already, the P.I.M.P has been rumored to be getting down
with a young Pop Idol. Who could she be? We shall soon see. Check in

No Joke!
Pamela Anderson claimed she was only joking when she declared her
hepatitis C disease would kill her in about five years, according to her
ex-husband Tommy Lee. Last month, the former Baywatch beauty
shocked fans when she told reporters the
liver-crippling condition in
which she claims she contracted from ex-Motley Crue drummer Lee would
likely be the cause her death. She said, "I've got a good five to 10 years
left. I feel good. Pretty good. But it is deadly. I've got to make sure
I'm around. Every time I have a health check my liver is getting
healthier." Anderson even said had adopted a healthier lifestyle in an
attempt to survive long enough to see her young sons Dylan, five, and
Brandon, seven, turn 21. But Lee, who has rekindled his friendship with
Canadian-born Anderson, insists, "She was joking. Somebody asked her how
she's doing or how she's feeling and she goes, 'I got a good five or 10 in
me.' And it was just a joke. You know how it's typical; they take just the
little bits... It's kind of crazy. She was kidding. She was totally
kidding. She's fine." Could this change of story be a result of the
possibility of losing ad endorsements?

incident that allegedly took place between the Prince and a male servant,
