UGH!!! Lauren & Cassie Impersonators Scam Professional Athletes And Celebrities

Imagine you were a celebrity or professional athlete that has been exchanging texts, bbms and phone calls with a beautiful girl over a period of a few months, just to realize that she wasn’t the girl you thought she was. It happens all of the time when meeting people online and unfortunately it has happened to a string of athletes and celebs who thought they were “dating” and texting Lauren London and Cassie.

Apparently, there’s a group of scam artists who are impersonating Lauren and Cassie, claiming to be one or both of the girls to connect with celebs. They fake BBMs, phone numbers and social media accounts, even going as far as to planting random dudes around athletes or rappers who tell them that Lauren or Cassie want to hook up. The entertainer calls, texts or bbms the contact info given to them by the scam artists and they eventually carry on a “relationship” with one of the girls, when in all, it’s all a facade. The “relationship” starts to fizzle when the guy wants to meet in person, buying them plane tickets or setting up face-to-face meetings with them, all which of course never happen.

Last year the scam started to unfold when plane tickets that a basketball player had booked for he and Lauren London showed up on a gossip site. Lauren had never met the guy before. A second incident that made news was when football player Bret Locket told a publication that he had been texting and phone sexting Kim Kardashian while she was dating Kris Humphries. He claimed to have received her number from Lauren London who was carrying on a strictly phone and text relationship with his younger brother. Unfortunately, he and his younger brother couldn’t provide proof that they were really talking to Kim or Lauren when prompted to provide more information.

The story gets even more crazier… This summer, a rapper and baseball player were simultaneously talking to the ‘impersonators’ thinking that they were Lauren and Cassie. Both had talked to them for about a week when they started feeling as though something was fishy so they reached out to their people and was told that this had been an on-going thing. Reps for both the ladies met up with the guys to see what correspondence has been going on, reviewing BBMs, texts, pictures…even going as far as having the rapper call the girl while they were all sitting together. The real Lauren was sitting there listening to the fake Lauren on the phone whining about being on set all day. The baseball player said he knew something was up when he asked the fake Cassie about her tattoos in order to catch her in a lie — which he did. According to reps:

“He asked what’s on your arm in white? She said “Believe”. He googled it and it clearly said “No Regrets”.

“The one who sagged the baseball player, did actually go to a party. It was the ESPY’s and he said meet him there. She kept saying, “I’m here, I don’t see you! I can’t get to you”. Then she sent pictures of a table that he was not too far from like, “see this is where I’m standing”, but its too crowded to get to. He tried to walk around and find her (Cassie) but she wasn’t there….

They may tell the dudes meet me here or there, and actually come and watch for satisfaction, but the guy just ends up feeling stood up.

The baseball player, was nerved out like, OMG. What if I told her where I live?!!”

Aside from the plane tickets that popped up on blogs for Lauren and her son to visit a basketball player, which Lauren never knew about, another rookie baller recently purchased three plane tickets for three different days for the fake Cassie who kept canceling and making up excuses on why she was never able to make it.

Both the real Cassie and Lauren London are fed up and released this message to all, hoping that if they finally bring light to the situation, they can prevent anyone else from being scammed by these impersonators.

“Hello. Is thing on?! Testing 1,2…

Blog’s, gossip columns, etc… here is a bit of information for you:

I have been being impersonated for who knows how long and it must stop. Not only have I been being impersonated, so have some of my friends.

Entertainers and athletes are being targeted and made victim by this girl, group of girls or what it now feels like, a group of people.

These men are buying plane tickets, having BBM conversations, phone conversations and basically a virtual relationship with this individual(s). It only lasts so long as obviously there is no “in person” contact in the end.

I feel very bad and embarrassed for these guys that have fallen victim to something so felonious and fictitious. It begins, when “someone” says “Cassie or Lauren London” is “trying to holla”. They use conveniently named email addresses and bicoastal area codes, to make it seem “real”. Note: This will NEVER in life be the case. Its not either one of our styles…….. AT ALL, EVER!

As such, If you have a feeling something is off and not right about this so called “Cassie or Lauren London” that you are “dating” OR that you think a friend of yours is dating….. YOU are very much a victim.

Lastly, to the sick person(s) doing this; live YOUR life!!! You are wasting a precious life of your own.

Thank you for your time. God bless.”

Moral of the story: Fellas beware. That girl that you met on twitter, facebook or through a homeboy hook up might not be the girl that you may think she is. Before you start booking plane tickets and spending money on gifts, luxuries and the whole nine, make sure you check her credentials and meet her face to face. It’s insane that people live their lives as other people but definitely not surprising.

Rocawear Makes Rocawear makes T Shirts that say Share OCCUPY ALL STREETS  But Has No Plans To Share Profits With Protesters???? WTF!?!

Jay-Z and Rocawear are launching an Occupy Wall Street T-shirt line today....but don't plan to donate any profits to the movement's originators. And some people are pissy.  Does that make Jay-Z a part of the problem or just a "smart" business man. Plus, go inside marketing guru to the A-Listers Steve Stoute's life and his TANNING effect.

If you want to latch on to a cause that is both fashionable and politically correct (to most), Rocawear has the answer.

The clothing label is launching a line of Occupy Wall Street t-shirts today that will "support" the movement in principle....but not financially.  The shirts spin the phrase "Occupy Wall Street"  making it read "Occupy All Streets."   Rocawear says it's to expand the notion of rectifying wrongs in all places...not just Wall Street.

A Rocawear spokeswoman said in a statement to Gawker,

The 'Occupy All Streets' T shirt was created in support of the 'Occupy Wall Street' movement. Rocawear strongly encourages all forms of constructive expression, whether it be artistic, political or social. 'Occupy All Streets' is our way of reminding people that there is change to be made everywhere, not just on Wall Street. At this time we have not made an official commitment to monetarily support the movement.

You decide.....is Jay-Z a part of the exact problem all the Occupy Wall Streeters are protesting (e.g. the 1 percenters taking things from people, making money from it, and not sharing the profits properly)? Or is this just a good business move and capitalizing on a "moment" while you can?

What do you think?.

She still hasn’t learned continues to fall in love with THE HELP!; J-Lo's mystery man revealed: Superstar is 'dating backing dancer Casper Smart'

Jennifer Lopez has found love again, just four months after splitting from husband Marc Anthony.

Us Weekly has exclusively reported that the mother-of-two, is dating male dancer Casper Smart from Anaheim, California, who according to his Twitter is one the 'dope J-Lo dancers.'

The pair are said to have been quietly dating for weeks, after he was hired to work on her San Francisco show.

Lopez, 42 , famously married one of her back up dancers, Chris Judd, before becoming engaged to Ben Affleck than tying the knot with Anthony.

So she's got form, and the magazine's source suggests that Casper, who is thought to be in his Twenties, has too, but in the torso department.

A mole told them: 'He dances at Club Boulevard in LA, he's popular with the ladies because he goes shirtless.'

And he might not have J-Lo's level of acting credits, but Smart is certainly in the movie business.

His imdb profile boasts that he had a role in Honey 2 and was a dancer in Step Up 3D.

The 5ft8 choreographer has also danced for Beyonce, and even accompanied her Single Ladies montage on Glee.

He was also an alternate dancer for Michael Jackson's This Is It world tour. 

The rehearsals, interviews and backstage footage of the tour were made into the 2009 film of the same name, following Jackson's death in June of the same year. 

According to their informant, the relationship is 'nothing serious' and just a few weeks old.

The pair were spotted trying to remain under the radar in New York a few weeks ago. 

Lopez married Judd, a dancer on the set of her Love Don't Cost a Thing music video, in September, 2001.

The marriage, however, ended in 2002 and she was soon dating Good Will Hunting star Affleck very publicly.

Lopez and Affleck, 39, got engaged in November 2002, but split in Jan. 2004 just hours before their Santa Barbara wedding was scheduled.

Affleck married Jennifer Garner in 2005 and the couple are now expecting their third child.

After separating from Anthony, 43, following seven years of marriage, Lopez dated Bradley Cooper briefly.

This will over by Friday…LOL

Rihanna's Nozomi Night Out In London

Enjoying a night off ahead of Sunday's big show, Rihanna was spotted out on the town for a bite to eat in London, England 

The Barbadian beauty shuffled in and out of her favorite UK eatery, Nozomi Restaurant, as she chowed down on delectable Japanese cuisine at the Knightsbridge locale before loading into her chauffeured ride.

Currently readying for the following night's gig at The O2 Arena, Rihanna took to Twitter to let fans know about a contest to win a trip for two to one of her London concerts.

The 23-year-old announced, "Check out my BIG contest and hit it - come see meeee!!!! @Rihanna fans - Win a trip 2 hang out w/her at 1 of her sold out shows in London! #youdaone Get the details now facebook.com/iheartradio"

THIS DUDE!;Why did Jerry Sandusky's wife call abuse victim weeks before his testimony and how much did Dorothy and six adopted children know about Penn State 'paedophile'?

Jerry Sandusky’s wife has been largely absent from the analysis of who knew what about her husband’s alleged sexual abuse of eight boys over a 15-year period.

But Dorothy 'Dottie' Gross Sandusky does make an appearance in the 23-page Grand Jury indictment which graphically details the charges against the 67-year-old former Penn State coach.

Mrs Sandusky, 68, attempted to call one of the victims in the weeks leading up to his testimony, despite the fact the now 26-year-old had cut off all contact with Sandusky two years prior.

She left a message on Victim 7's phone saying the matter was 'very important' but the man, who told the Grand Jury that as a ten-year-old in 1994, Sandusky hugged and inappropriately touched him, did not return the call.

Part of that alleged abuse took place in the Sandusky family’s State College, Pennsylvania, home, in which Dorothy and her husband raised their six adopted children. Sandusky claimed he and his wife could not have any of their own.

Over the years the couple became the parents to Ray, now 46, a businessman living in Nashville, EJ, 41, former Nittany Lions player, and now a football coach at West Chester University, Kara, 38, a Penn State graduate, Jeff, 35, a former Marine, and 33-year-olds Matt, a Penn State graduate and Jon, who is Director of Player Personnel for the Cleveland Browns.

Quite how much any of them knew about the sexual abuse, which occurred between 1994 and 2009 with a number of incidents at the family home, is now under scrutiny.

The former Penn State defensive coordinator and his lawyer, Joe Amendola, have maintained that Sandusky is innocent and publicly denied all allegations. Neither Dorothy Sandusky nor any of her adopted children have yet made a statement on the scandal.

The Grand Jury indictment states that Sandusky selected his young victims from the 'Second Mile', a charity he started in 1977 devoted to helping troubled boys in the State College area. Mrs Sandusky helped out with the running of the programme.

'After we had taken in some foster children, we saw the opportunities that some kids just hadn't had,' Mrs Sandusky told Sports Illustrated in 1982. 'But we'd gotten to the point where we couldn't take in anymore, so Jerry started thinking about starting a group home.'

In his 2000 autobiography, 'Touched: The Jerry Sandusky Story' the onetime heir apparent to Joe Paterno devotes many pages to his relationships with boys he met through the Second Mile.

He also makes reference to his own children during an exchange with some of the boys from the charity.

Sandusky wrote that one night he was talking to two Second Mile boys who had rebelled against their foster parents, with one boy telling how his foster father had 'grabbed me around the back of my shoulders and he made me do something when I didn't want to do it.'

'Do you ever grab your kids like that?' the boy asked Sandusky.

'No, I don't grab my kids like that,' Sandusky answered. 'I grab them like this.' He wrote: 'With that, I put my hands gently around their throat.' It was an apparent jest.

I could tell they were totally confused,' Sandusky wrote. 'Both boys had a scared look in their eyes.'

The book repeatedly described Sandusky hugging boys and detailing how he was very close to those he met through the charity. Of the photos that line his office walls, he said: 'They are kids that have touched my life and have been a part of me for a long, long time.'

In the book he paints himself as someone who would repeatedly take risks in the hunt for what he refers to as 'mischief.' 

'I believe I live a good part of my life in a make-believe world,' Sandusky wrote in one of the final chapters. 'I enjoyed pretending as a kid, and I love doing the same as an adult with these kids.'

Whether Mrs Sandusky was worried by any such behaviour is not yet known. What is established is that she has been by Sandusky’s side since the mid-1960s, when they married.

Originally from Chattanooga, Tennessee, she had met Sandusky in Washington a few years before. He endearingly called his wife 'Sarge,' because she was in charge in their home, ESPN News reported.

The shocking Grand Jury indictment makes repeated accusations that victims were abused inside the couple’s home.

Victim 1 spent many nights there sleeping in a basement bedroom. The report states that Sandusky would come down to the basement to check on him at bedtime.

The report found that Sandusky 'indecently fondled Victim 1 on a number of occasions, performed oral sex on Victim 1 on a number of occasions and had Victim 1 perform oral sex on him on at least one occasion.'

Phone records also confirm that Sandusky made 61 phone calls from his home phone to Victim 1's home phone between January 2008 and July 2009 despite Victim 1 expressing a wish that he no longer wanted to see the football coach. 

The defensive coordinator also made 57 calls from his personal cell phone to Victim 1's home phone.

Despite these actions, there is no suggestion whatsoever in the indictment that Mrs Sandusky was aware of her husband's sexual relations with Victim 1 or any of the other seven victims.

Experts have suggested that she and her children could well have been kept in the dark.

'[Abusers are] very good at hiding it from everyone,' clinical social worker Farlie Chastain told WRCB TV. 'Very good at seducing the child and manipulating the child not to tell.'

However, Chastain, who counsels sexually abused children and teenagers at Parkridge Valley, Tennesee and at Foxus Psychiatric Services in Tennessee Valley, adds: 'I've seen it both ways, in which the family knows and is in denial.'

Meanwhile State College police have reported that someone threw two cinder blocks through a bedroom window at Sandusky’s house on The other night.

The news came as it emerged that the accused child rapist, who is out on bail, lives close to an elementary school and playground.

PUT THIS BASTARD AWAY!

Centino Kemp a LIAR??? A Fox 5 Atlanta I -Team Investigation

The 5th man to come forward in the Eddie Long sex scandal, Centino Kemp, sat down with Fox 5 in Atlanta to set a few things straight. Namely that he's not an accuser and that his name is not on any paperwork.

Fox 5 did a little digging on their own and found out Centino checked himself into a mental health facility when the scandal first broke and told doctors there that he had been in a six year physically and sexually abusive relationship with Eddie Long. But, when Fox 5 talked to some of Centino's former friends they said it was all a scam...

Video:

Well the jury is still out. Doesn’t make Eddie Long innocent neither!

Another one bites the Dust; Zoe Saldana breaks off engagement and splits with long-term love of 11 years

Actress Zoe Saldana, best known for her portrayal of a Na'Vi princess in the blockbuster Avatar, today announced that she and her fiance, entrepreneur Keith Britton, have called it quits after 11 years.

The pair 'have amicably separated after 11 years,' her representative said in a statement.

Saldana, 34, and Britton, 36, revealed their engagement in June 2010.

At the time, the actress said that Britton was very supportive of her life in the Hollywood spotlight, and that she felt he was the only person who knew 'the real Zoe.'

The pair are also business partners, having co-founded a fashion industry website called My Fashion Date Base.

Saldana, who was born in New Jersey but spent seven years in the Dominican Republic as a child, looked stunning in an emerald green floor length dress as she presented at the Latin Grammy awards on Friday night.

Betraying none of the inner sadness she obviously felt, the actress was the ultimate professional as she battled through the Las Vegas event with a beatific smile on her face.

She had previously said of Britton: 'I feel like the partners that stay at home, they have their lives, but they’re the ones that are living with the real you.

'I think that they need to be recognised, every now and then, every 10 years, just come out in public - put him on the spot and just say thank you.

'He’s a very independent soul. He understands what I do, but this is not what he fell in love with and that’s what I love.'

Since starring in smash hit movie Avatar, she has been touted as one of Hollywood's biggest up and coming actresses but her last film, Colombiana, flopped at the box office

Saldana admitted to having been left overwhelmed by her meteoric rise to fame and confessed that by the time she started making Colombiana she was physically and emotionally drained.

'The year after Avatar was just emotionally overwhelming. I was travelling all over the world, waking up in different time zones,' she said. 'Your body gets exhausted, and by the end of the year I just collapsed.'

The pressure took its toll when it came to starting work on Colombiana:  'I was in Paris training for Colombiana, sitting in my hotel room, and I couldn’t stop crying.'

Nevertheless, she added: 'We’re hoping to do Avatar 2 next year. James Cameron is working on the script now and I’ve missed playing Neytiri. I can’t wait.'

While the Star Trek star has yet to make a direct statement regarding the split, on Friday she tweeted, 'You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.’ – Buddha.'

Her rep also added: 'Saldana and Britton remain committed business partners as co-founders of fashion resource MyFDB.com. Respect of their privacy is appreciated during this time.'
