WTF!?! Jermaine Jackson Planned to Help Michael Flee Country

Even if a jury had found Michael Jackson guilty of child molestation in 2005, the King of Pop might have avoided jail time, according to a new book.
In 'You Are Not Alone: Michael Through A Brother's Eyes,' Jermaine Jackson reveals the details of a plot to fly his brother to Bahrain in the event of a guilty verdict. At the time, Michael was facing seven counts of sexual abuse and two for providing intoxicating agents with the intention of committing a felony.

"There is no way my brother -- an innocent man -- is going to jail for this," Jermaine writes. "He wouldn't survive, and I cannot sit back and even contemplate the possibility, let alone the reality."
The pop legend was acquitted of all charges, and Jermain's plan -- which involved leaving via private jet from an airport in Van Nuys, Calif. -- never took effect.
Speaking with British newspaper The Times, which has serialized the book, Jermaine attempted to justify his scheme.

"At the end of the day, this is supposed to be the land of the brave, home of the free, democracy, freedom of speech," he said. "The way they were treating him, none of that existed. Why should he go to jail for something he didn't do?"…Jermaine please STFU!

Did Amber Rose And Wiz Khalifa Get Married?

Amber Rose has been telling everybody that she wants to be Wiz’s wifey and the mother of his children. From the looks of things, I’m starting to wonder if the couple secretly got married. A picture has surfaced on the net of Wiz and Amber out in Las Vegas just a few days ago. In the pic, Amber is seen wearing a white dress and Wiz is in a black tux. When have you ever seen Wiz wear a tux? Makes me think they got married on the low and didn’t tell anybody! To add to the mix, Amber tweeted the other day calling Wiz her husband.

Sources around the internet state that, the two have actually been engaged for about 4 months now but kept it on the hush as they wanted to reveal the big news at Wiz’s birthday. Wiz’s birthday was two days ago…so is the cat out of the bag? Amber hasn’t tweeted since Wiz’s birthday either. So are they on their honeymoon? What do you think of this matter? Are they married or what?

AND HOW STUPID ARE THEY??? Rihanna’s cousins are rooting for her to get back together with Chris Brown

We all remember the horrific injuries sustained by Rihanna in early 2009 when Chris Brown beat the living hell out of her. Fortunately, Rihanna broke off that relationship and hasn’t gone back — although she might have looked back once or twice because a pattern of abuse is very difficult to break even (or especially) on the victim’s end. I always assumed that, in the end, everyone but Chris was happy that Rihanna has chosen that route for herself; certainly, I never imagined that members of her family would be rooting for Rihanna to get back with the guy, but the latest issue of The Enquirer says that is precisely the case. Yeah, I know it sounds unbelievable, right?
Here’s the thing — it’s not like The Enquirer gathered this information from “an insider” close to the family or anything suspect like that. Instead, these are Rihanna’s actual cousins talking to the publication, and they speak of Chris in bizarrely glowing terms:

Rihanna’s closest family members have made an impassioned plea for her to get back together with abusive ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, The ENQUIRER can exclusively reveal.
But experts say reuniting with Brown - who pleaded guilty to a felony after savagely beating the “Umbrella” singer during a ferocious argument — would only reignite the cycle of violence in the couple’s relationship.
Despite that, two of Rihanna’s cousins claim the Grammy winner’s family still loves the shamed star and have forgiven him for viciously assaulting the 23-year-old beauty.
Chris made a mistake, but I forgive him,” Nicola Alleyne told The ENQUIRER. “I think he got hit too. Knowing Rihanna like I do, it was a fight. But I would love them to be back together. I really think Chris still loves her.”
Nicola, a 34-year-old mother of two, bonded with Brown when Rihanna brought him to her native Barbados to meet her family.
“She introduced Chris to everybody. He was really, really nice,” recalled Nicola, whose sister, Noella, travels the world with Rihanna when she’s on tour. Their mother, Rihanna’s Aunt Marcel, hosted the celebrity couple at her home.

“Chris’ mother, sister, nephew and cousin also came. My mother made dinner, and Chris sat on the floor and ate her Guyanese food — baked salt fish and rice.”

Rihanna’s cousin Amanda Thompson — who, like Nicola, works in the fish market and clothing shop that are both owned by Rihana’s extended family in the Barbados capital of Bridgetown — also wishes the couple would rekindle their romance. “I loved Chris Brown,” 38-year-old Amanda — who fondly remembers braiding a young Rihanna’s hair — told The ENQUIRER.

“I met him after Rihanna had just won her first Grammy. She had a party in the Boatyard Bar in Bridgetown, and I danced with him. I don’t know what happened, but I would love for them to get back together. Everybody makes mistakes.”

[From The Enquirer, print edition, September 19, 2011]

Honestly, I find the behavior of Rihanna’s cousins in this instance to be rather disgusting. Exactly what kind of a supportive family member would (publicly or otherwise) encourage their cousin to get back together with an abusive ex-boyfriend? All based upon the fact that he was “really nice” and sat on the floor while eating fish and rice. Of course Chris was cordial to Rihanna’s family because he probably wanted to make a good impression, but that doesn’t mean that he wasn’t a violent nightmare behind closed doors. And he undoubtedly was just that.

In this case, there is photographic evidence that Chris beat the living crap out of Rihanna, and yet her cousins are willing to overlook that as trivial in light of the fact that he was sweet and danced with them. They honestly seem to believe that Chris merely made a series of consecutive mistakes when his fist hit Rihanna over and over again. How would these cousins feel if Rihanna took their advice and ended up dead one day because of it? I don’t even want to think about that; and hopefully, Rihanna will ignore her cousins’ misguided words too. Not only is her own safety at stake, but she also must think about the image she sets forth to her fans that experience abusive relationships as well.

However in other FAB RIhanna news: Rihanna for Armani

Say what you will about Rihanna but one fact remains true…she can take a fierce picture!
Shot by Steven Klein in New York, the ever-stunning Rihanna has unveiled her ad campaign with Armani Jeans on Facebook, so as to make the her crazily diesel legions of fans, known as the Rihanna navy, lose their minds. The ad features yet another hair transformation from the tonsorially adventurous singer who has this time opted for a blonde pixie cut that does NOTHING to compromise her gorgeous features despite it being a near-impossible ‘do to pull off for 98.76% of us.

Kelis Performs at Bestival 2011, Denies Katy Perry Diss

Pop/R&B Songstress Kelis was on the bill for Bestival 2011, which took place at Robin Hill Country Park in Newport, Isle of Wight. The former wife of Nas performed a string of songs, including hits “Milkshake” and “Bossy” during day four on the festival’s main stage.
Kelis recently came under fire for allegedly calling Katy Perry’s music “pure crap.” A tabloid newspaper claimed that she said: “Katy Perry is crap. It’s just pure pop. Her name might be on her stuff but that doesn’t mean it’s any good.”

Kelis’ rep quickly slammed the report telling Perez Hilton that her client never said anything like it, and pointed out that she hasn’t done any press at all in recent weeks.

Our IDIOT of the day IS????? Elizabeth Escalona Mom Arrested For Gluing 2-Year-Old Daughter's Hands To The Wall, Beating Her Unconscious

A 22-year-old Dallas mother is in police custody after authorities say she unmercifully tortured her daughter for a potty-training incident.
Police report that Elizabeth Escalona, dragged her daughter, Joselyn Cedillo, by her feet across her apartment, glued her hands and stuck them to a wall until they bled because the 2-year-old soiled her pants.
She then reportedly beat the little girl with a shoe and a belt, kicked her, and pounded her in the stomach with a jug of milk.
According to police, the young mother later made a hysterical phone call to her mother after she noticed that something was wrong with the child.
When the mother arrived Joselyn was unconscious and rushed to the hospital where she remains in critical condition with broken bones and head injuries.
Escalona was arrested for causing an injury to a child; she is being held on $500,000 bond.

SWAGGER JACKER...Again!? or Coincidence?
Does Nicki Minaj's FNO Outfit & Latest Diss Prove She's OBSESSED With Lil Kim?

Although Lil' Kim did not originate the use of colorful wigs or dirty talk on wax, it does seem like Nicki Minaj (and her stylist) are clearly competing in a constant "Who Rocked It Best" contest. Folks are all abuzz that Nicki seemed to re-create one of Kim's very recent "looks" for FNO.

Either it's a coincidence or Nicki Minaj is playing some serious "mean girl" games with Lil' Kim as she continues to mock the rapper for having a dormant career and not being relevant. Yet she mimics her style on the regular. Lil Kim's fans put together a collage of pics for folks to make a judgment call on.
Most recently, Nicki REmixed Lil' Kim's "geisha" look--that Kim rocked a couple months ago--while at NYC's FNO and she rocked a face mask similar to one Kim wore just a week before Nicki did at the 2011 MTV VMAs. A full out face mask in public isn't all that typical, but it still could be a coincidence.

Now Nicki may say she doesn't "see" Kim and is not a swagger jacker, but SOMEBODY in Nicki's camp has their eye on rap vet Kimberly Jones.
And on wax, Nicki continues to go after Kim, most recently on Birdman's latest track released last night called "Why U Mad."
Nicki says the line: "Yea we shine/gold cluster.....as for your career/dead ghostbuster"
Is the animated "Superbass" rapper playing with Kim's head or really stealing her style?

Who's Going to Replace Val?

Ever since Stacy Dash was unceremoniously dumped from the cast of 'Single Ladies' on VH1 [click here if you missed that] the search has been on for her replacement.
Both Meagan Good and Elise Neal's names have been mentioned but nothing set in stone. Stay tuned for the replacement.

Chris Brown Cleared of 95 Outstanding Parking Tickets

While R&B bad boy Chris Brown is getting cleared of 95 parking tickets, many people are just trying to get cleared of one! Los Angeles officials have ruled that the singer only has to pay a fraction of $15,000 in parking citations.
Brown’s lawyer, Mark Geragos stated last month that West Hollywood officials were forced to dismiss more than $15,000 in parking citations his client was issued for parking in handicap spots. Geragos goes on to explain that the handicapped parking spots at Brown’s former condominium complex were assigned to him. The developer of the building had mistakenly marked his spaces as handicapped and therefore Geragos petitioned for the tickets to be dropped.

However, the battle isn’t won quite yet. While 95 tickets have been dismissed, 22 parking related citations still remain open, city sources told TMZ.

Either way, the load is definitely lightened on Chris' end.

Kim Zolciak's Ex Husband is a Child Molester

Real Housewives of Atlanta's Kim Zolciak was horrified to learn that her ex husband and the father of her two daughters had plead guilty to molesting a 15 year old.

The ex-husband of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star KIM ZOLCIAK is a convicted child molester!
The ENQUIRER has learned that Kim’s first husband Dan­iel Dominic Toce, the father of her two daughters, is behind bars in a Con­necticut state prison after pleading guilty to molesting a 15-year-old.
“Kim can’t believe the father of her girls is a child molester!” a source close to the reality star confided.
“When she got the news, she was sick to her stomach. Kim can’t stop thinking about the shocking crime that Daniel committed on that inno­cent girl.”
Toce remarried after his two-year union to Kim ended in 2003 and was arrested in 2010 for sexual risk of injury to a minor.

He already was no stranger to local police, having a laundry list of arrests and convictions ranging from breach of peace to felony robbery and larceny, dat­ing back to 2004.
After pleading guilty to a single count of felony sex abuse against a mi­nor, he was sentenced to 10 years behind bars. He’s now serving 2 1/2 years at the MacDougall-Walker Correctional In­stitution in Suffield. His remaining sentence will be suspended.
When he’s released from prison, Toce will be on probation for 10 years and will be required to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.
With Toce behind bars, Kim, 33, hopes to cut off all contact between him and their two daughters, Brielle, 14, and 10-year-old Ariana, said the source.
“Kim is consulting her legal team to see if she can permanently terminate Daniel’s parental rights or at least severely restrict them,” the source divulged.

“She doesn’t want him anywhere near her two girls when he gets out of prison.”

Is There a Will and Trey Bromance Brewing?

If the rumors are true Trey Songz just came up...
From The National Enquirer
Recent reports claimed that in early August, Will, 42, surprised Jada, 39, at the couple's Calabasas, Calif., mansion and discovered her with her "HawthoRNe" co-star, Marc Anthony, who recently split from Jennifer Lopez. The celebrity couple strongly denied the report.
And now, tongues are wagging that Will is enjoying a "bromance" with R&B artist Trey Songz, who's been the subject of gay whispers himself.

On Aug. 18, the "Men in Black" star sat a a VIP table with Trey during an event at The Setai's penthouse in Miami's trendy South Beach - and the two reportedly hooked up again the following evening to enjoy dinner and the local nightlife.
Troy Taylor, a record exec and mentor to the singer, told THE ENQUIRER: "I know that Trey and Will have been friends for a very long time, but I can't speak to the nature of their relationship. It's none of my business."

Price Is Right Model Sues for Sexual Harassment

Price is Right model Lanisha Cole had filed a lawsuit against two producers on The Price Is Right for sexual harassment.
The longest-tenured model for "The Price Is Right" has filed a lawsuit claiming she was sexually harassed by two producers for the game show, Michael G. Richards and Adam Sandler (not the actors with the same names).
When model Lanisha Cole left the show in 2010, she was a "fan favorite," whose job was to gracefully reveal actual prices of household items to the viewing audience and contestants. But she alleges that backstage, for about a year, she endured very ugly treatment.
The 20-page civil complaint includes wrongful termination, wrongful sexual harassment, failure to take steps to prevent harassment, false imprisonment, and infliction of emotional distress.

The lawsuit states that Cole began working for the popular game show back in 2003, and enjoyed her job for years. All that changed in 2009, when Richards took an interest in another model and began to favor her -- and shun Cole. The suit claims that her work on the show was limited using policies "which never before existed."

Cole also details an incident where Sandler entered her dressing room without knocking despite a sign posted to do so, and berated the model for not wearing a microphone -- when she was wearing barely any clothes. Cole's attorney said of the account, "Sandler deliberately humiliated Ms. Cole in front of her peers."
Cole's attorney, Solomon Gresen, said in a statement, "This case is about senior-level men in the entertainment industry exploiting power and control over women by bullying and harassing female talent." He added, "Ms. Cole did nothing to provoke Richards and Sandler. Once the harassment began, she was powerless to stop it."
Cole complained about her harassment only after being called into a meeting regarding alleged harassment of another model. When the Pasadena native filed her suit, she was told she was "holding the show hostage," and she eventually left the show.
Host Drew Carey is not named in the lawsuit or blamed in any way. Cole is seeking a jury trial and monetary compensation to cover her medical and legal expenses and loss of earnings. "The Price Is Right" has been served with multiple sexual harassment lawsuits over the years.
