SAY WHAT?? Reggie Bush Will Take Kim Kardashian Back on One Condition

Kim Kardashian wants to get back with Reggie Bush and he's agreed to give it a try on one condition: No Cameras.

KIM KARDASHIAN’s ex-boyfriend REGGIE BUSH has slapped her with an ultimatum: “I’ll take you back if you leave me out of your reality TV show!”

The 31-year-old TV sexpot is desperate to reunite with NFL star Bush, 26, after filing for divorce from NBA player Kris Humphries following 72 days of marriage, a source told The ENQUIRER.

“Reggie would take Kim back, but he’s making it absolutely clear he doesn’t want their romance to appear on her show,” the source divulged.
“He refuses to have the cameras follow his every step with Kim and record their private conversations.”
Reggie, who plays for the Miami Dolphins, has already butted heads with Kim’s mother/manager Kris Jenner over her request that he phone Kim the night of her wedding, which was filmed for a two-part special on the E! network, according to the source.

“Kris wanted to have Reggie call Kim for ratings,” the source revealed. “He wouldn’t do it.”

Kim started dating Reggie in early 2007 when he played for the New Orleans Saints. They split in July 2009, got back together two months later and parted ways again in March 2010.
She began dating New Jersey Nets player Kris, 26, the following December, then tied the knot on Aug. 20 in a lavish ceremony in front of the TV cameras.
Now they’re headed their separate ways and battling over Kim’s 20 1/2-carat diamond engagement ring. “The jeweler discounted the ring’s price by 80 percent,” the source noted.

“Kim believes it’s rightfully hers because Kris wouldn’t have gotten the discount if it wasn’t her engagement ring. She doesn’t think he deserves to get it back.”

J-Hud knows why she’s staying with Punk..But do you?

People talk trash about Jennifer Hudson and her fiance David Otunga's relationship all the time:
"Ew. She's dating Punk from I Love New York. He's gay. Why would Jennifer Hudson date a Harvard Law grad who only want to be a wrestler?"

Well, David filmed a promo for WWE and after you watch the clip you'll see why Jen ain't going nowhere...

Well alrighty Jen Boo!

Chris Brown & Artist Ron English Collab For New Line of Toys

Chris Brown is linking up with contemporary artist Ron English for a new line of figurines called the Dum English astronaut series.

English tells the Miami New Times, "We were talking about what it was like to be famous," English said. "It seems like something that's very attractive. But it can also be very isolating in ways."The monstrous space figures represent celebrity pitfalls. Like the astronaut, the limelight gets lonely for Breezy too.

"An astronaut doesn't go to space just for himself or his family. The whole country is behind him," English explains.
This isn't the first time the two collaborated. Ron is always responsible for the cover art to Brown's 2011 release, F.A.M.E.

In Child Abuse News; 8 Alleged Victims In Penn State Sex Abuse Scandal To Testify Against Jerry Sandusky

The child sex abuse case against Jerry Sandusky, former Penn State defensive coach, has just gotten a lot stronger with all 8 victims, who were mentioned in the grand jury report, set to testify against Sandusky. Sandusky’s lawyer, Joe Amendola, previously stated that one of the alleged victims denied that the sex abuse ever happened, but this victim along with 7 others are all slated to take the stand on December 13 when the preliminary hearings begin. Read the rest to get a few more details about the sex abuse case.

Jerry Sandusky is facing 40 counts of child sex abuse which occurred on the Penn State campus over a 15 year period. One of the allegations against Sandusky is that he was seen raping a boy who was reportedly 10 years old in the showers on the PSU campus in 2002. Head coach Joe Patterno was also fired as he was accused of trying covering up the alleged abuse.

This is so sad and disgusting.

Kandi Buress gets her own App!

Kandi Burruss’ had an launch party for her new app. It’s just in time for the holidays too, with a new twist to a classic card game. Introducing Kandi Koated Spades, the first “urban” Spades app for iPhone/iPad users – now available in the iTunes App Store!

Close friends Phaedra Parks and Toya Wright were also in attendance to help with the festivities. The new app is developed by urban video gaming company Konsole Kingz. Kandi Koated Spades allows multiple players to play online while using features such as “Reneg,” “Deuces Wild,” and “Jokers.” The app is designed to reflect the fast-paced, “trash-talking” style of Spades that’s most popular in the African-American community.
“Me and my family are avid Spades players,” says Burruss. “So when the opportunity to create Kandi Koated Spades presented itself, I jumped at the chance to share this unique app with my fans. I’m a Spades pro and I can promise you that this is the best Spades game on the market!”

“The iPhone has over 500,000 apps. We noticed no one was creating high-quality games for African-Americans,” says Marcus Matthews, producer of the game. “Like Spike Lee and Tyler Perry did for film, we created something our community could enjoy.”

“Spades is the one game that almost every African-American has played or witnessed,” adds Cj Peters, CEO of Konsole Kingz. “So it certainly made sense to develop Kandi Koated Spades and bring it to the iPhone and iPad.”

Kandi Koated Spades Key Features:

- Online Multiplayer (play against 3 real people)
- Custom avatars (use the camera to put yourself in the game)
- In-game profiles (let everyone know where you’re from, post your Twitter, and earn awards (crowns) for playing)
- Chat (chat from the main menu and during the game)
- Single Player Mode (for those of you that need to step your game up)
- Reneg (Call reneg on someone playing out of suit and get those 3 books!)
- Tweet your scores and wins to all your Twitter followers

VIVA MALIA!!! My, how you've grown! 13-year-old Malia Obama is now almost as tall as her father

The President may describe her as 'my baby', but 13-year-old Malia Obama is clearly growing up fast.
At a number of recent appearances at festive events, the teenager has cut an elegant figure, now standing almost as tall as her parents.
Malia, who was already 5ft 9in last year, seems to have had another growth spurt as she now matches her mother's 5ft 11in.

If she continues to grow, it won't be long before she catches up with her father, who is 6ft 1in tall.
But unlike many teens unused to their new height, Malia shows no trace of awkwardness or embarrassment.
Instead, she seems to have embraced it, with smart, yet bang-on-trend, wardrobe choices.
Clearly sharing the First Lady's instinct for style, she favours favouring bold colours and statement prints.
And though she opts for occasion appropriate tailored coats and pussy-bow blouses for formal occasions, there is always a youthful element to each look, be it a thigh-skimming miniskirt or chunky biker boots.

Indeed, she wears her height so well, it seems little sister Sasha is desperate to catch up. Joining her sister and father to pardon the Thanksgiving turkey last month, the ten-year-old completed her look with metallic blue patent wedges.
But though Malia still wears braces, a visual reminder that she is still only at the start of her teenage years, she has started to embrace make-up - with her mother's wise counsel to guide her, of course.
'After our... military families tour, I came in, it was 10.30 at night - we were beat, we did four cities in two days, and Malia's like, "Ma, I need to talk to you."
'And it was 10.30 and we talked. And we talked, and we talked. We talked about make-up, actually.'
In fact, it seems the only person struggling with Malia's coming-of-age is the President himself.

He admitted in an interview last year: 'Even though she's 5ft 9in, she's still my baby.
'And she just got braces, which is good, because she looks like a kid and she was getting ... she's starting to look too old for me.'

One occasion in particular, came as a shock, as his wife revealed on The View.
She said: 'He says he's cool, but you know... The first time Malia went out for a party and she was dressed, she had her hair done and she's tall, she had on a pretty dress, you could see him, he was sort of like... gulp. And I was like, "Easy dad."' Simply Beautiful!

NBA TRADE RUMORS…Whose telling the truth???

According to ESPN West Coast and ESPN East Coast. Someone seems to have the wires crossed up. First Dwight Howard was headed to The NJ Nets, But now The L.A Lakers???? And of Chris Paul is now alleged being mentioned in the L.A Smash up too. Pay attention.
During an interview with WFAN radio Monday, Deron Williams estimated that his chances of staying with the Nets beyond this season are "90 percent."

Williams didn't want to get into speculation about a pairing with free-agent-to-be Dwight Howard, but went on to say that he and Howard talk frequently and that if there said if there's one player in the entire league he'd like to play with, it's "D-12"
Sources have told ESPN's Marc Stein that the Nets are preparing a blockbuster trade offer sending Brook Lopez and two future first-round draft picks to Orlando to land Magic center Dwight Howard and the remaining three years and $35 million on Hedo Turkoglu's contract.

BUT WAIT……….. Credible sources are saying Chris Paul along with his former Team USA teammate Orlando Magic baller Dwight Howard--are in heavy talks to head to Hollywood

The L.A. Lakers have reportedly set their eyes on NBA stars Chris Paul and Dwight Howard, and they're willing to trade 3 of their own stars--Lamar Odom, Andrew Bynum and Paul Gasol--to get the deal done. Wow!! While both Chris & Dwight have been practicing with their current teams in preparation for the very possible Christmas Day season kick off, ESPN reporter Chris Broussard says the Lakers are readying a blockbuster deal. And supposedly, Jim Buss & Mitch Kupchak (head honchos over at the Lakers), said he's willing to give up ANY player for Chris & Dwight...except for Kobe Bryant.

The L.A. Clippers are also supposedly setting up an offer for the two players, and they are just as willing to trade any player...except their star Blake Griffin.
Chris and Dwight going to the Lakers with Kobe Bryant would create a Big 3 type team--much like the Miami Heat have. 

But wait again if Lamar is sent from L.A what will happen with him and Khloe???? Enters Mama Kris!

Michael C. Hall & Jennifer Carpenter Finalize Divorce

Officially bringing an end to a chapter in each of their lives, Jennifer Carpenter and Michael C. Hall star of “Dexter” are a married couple no more.
According to just unveiled court documents, the "Dexter" co-stars saw their divorce finalized on (December 2).
Making for a rather short turn at marital bliss, 31-year-old Carpenter and 40-year-old Hall married on New Year's Eve of 2008 only to part ways seven months later.

The pair are fortunate in that they did not have any children together while having cited the catchall "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the breakup.

50 Cent Celebrates Headphones Launch

50 Cent celebrated the launch of his hi-fidelity headphones, SYNC by 50, at Jimmy at The James Hotel in Manhattan last night. The G-Unit mogul, who serves as CEO of SMS Audio, suited up for the occasion, explaining why he decided to develop a competitor to Dr. Dre’s Beats by Dre. “I want people to hear music the way I hear it initially,” 50 told TechCrunch.
At the event, he also spoke about signing “Jersey Shore” star DJ Pauly D to his pop label G-Note Records. “I call him ‘the bridge,’” the rapper told Rolling Stone. “He’s going to be something between what you would get from a DJ Khaled or a DJ Drama and what you would get from David Guetta.”

50 will release his new mixtape The Big 10 on Friday to mark the 10-year anniversary of 50 Cent Is the Future.

Ja Rule’s First night in the slammer

Ja Rule, who's currently serving jail time on gun and tax evasion charges, writes about his first night in prison...
My first night here was crazy inmates screaming, banging, and kicking the doors calling the male CO’s bitch ass niggas faggots telling the female CO’s how they gonna fuck em, throwing plates of food out their cells onto the floor LOL. WELCOME TO THE GREEN MONSTER!

This type of shit would never happen upstate at best you’d be in the box for a month at worst the infirmary. I even got into it wit these stupid niggas trying to assassinate my character talkin about I’m snitching to the guards and that I’m getting special treatment. I barked on these niggas and set em straight cause as a man there’s only so much you can take before you snap. At first I tried to ignore there lil comments until they started talkin shit like they gonna kick my door and all this clown shit. But the funny thing is when I started screaming on them lettin them know they got the wrong nigga they got excited it was like that’s what they wanted to bring the hood out of me.

That’s when I realized that I’m dealing wit kids they can’t be niggas my age cause that would’ve lead to instant confrontation not instant admiration. 

After I set em straight they wanted to talk ask me about the industry I could tell they wanted to be my friend but just didn’t know how to go about it. So I chatted wit them for a lil bit before letting them know I was tried and ready to lay down. But as I layed I listened to them talk telling there life stories of how one was born in a crack house and grew up selling crack to his mother and how another watched his father get murdered rite in front of him by some dudes he owed money as they robbed his house and how they were now in jail for crimes of their own one for beating his girl friend the other for a murder. One of them them is 19 the other just turned 23 yesterday. Both with kids of their own. When will we break the cycle? WILLIE LYNCH LIVES ON… DAMN!

When I got here I was happy to see some officers of the same skin color not that I’m racist or anything but in this type of situation and where I just came from you’d be happy to see some of your own too. Prejudice does still exist trust me I’ve been treated and seen it people treated like niggers more in 1 month that I have my whole life I feel like a slave and even tho I haven’t heard anyone say it actions speak louder than words. As I walk through the door everyone staring like they can’t believe I just walked in cuffed from head to toe. Even tho I don’t feel like much of a star that’s all they see the star that has fallen. But as I look in their eyes I still see the love they still wanna meet me and greet me as if I’m on their own personal stage except there’s no screaming fans, fancy clothes & bright lights. Only screaming inmates me in my orange jumpsuit and little flash lights they shine in my cell at night.

It’s hard to feel good signing autographs and taking pictures in this predicament but I did it with a smile cause I love my fans and never say no, nomatter what mood I’m in after the meet & greet they took me to my cell where I’ll be housed till my court date it’s not the best but it’s not the worst either they gave me some pillows and an extra mattress so I’ll live. This is my 3rd here and IA already came and got me to investigate my lil meet & greet. I basically told them to fuck off and that those are good cops cause they really were nice to me last thing I wanna see is good people get in trouble cause they got an autograph or a pic from me. You wanna investigate something investigate the crooked Hip Hop Task Force that got me into this shit in the first place.

As I sit in my cell listening to their stories I think about me and my Dad and how I hated to love him for so many years and how I vowed to be nothing like him only to have my mother say “your just like your father” LOL. Which made me curious to know him and of course just as we start to get closer to one another he dies. But I have my closure I learned alot about him and him about me in the short time we spent together. Which makes me think about my kids and how I’m raising them I am a great father and I have broken the cycle even though I’m in prison the foundation has already been layed. I hate being away from them for 20 months but shit could just as easily been on tour for that long. I feel compelled I wanna help other kids break the cycle. I’ve been to 5 different prisons and all I see is niggas and I ain’t talking about black people I’m talking about ignorance. See the problem wit most people is they don’t smell shit until they step in it and by that time it’s all over your shoe and everybody is tryin to get away from you. Now you have 2 choices you can either wash that shoe or throw it away. A lot of people choose to throw it away meaning they didn’t learn shit but those that choose to wash that shoe tend to watch their step knowing how hard it was to get em clean. I think I’ll wash my shoes this time cause this shit ain’t me.

R.I.P William Jeffrey Atkins

BREAK THE CYCLE!
Ja Rule promises a new letter every month. BE STRONG SOLDIER!

OOPS…Venus Williams Wardrobe Malfunction

Tennis star Venus Williams almost flashed her boob at a tennis match in Milan.

Venus Williams almost had a Janet Jackson moment during a good-natured exhibition match against Italian tennis player Flavia Pennetta in Milan. The left strap on one of Venus' self-designed eleVen dresses snapped during the match, almost exposing some extra skin to the assembled crowd.

Like a seasoned fashion veteran, the elder Williams sister managed to cover up the problem and coolly walked off the court to change outfits. When she returned, she brought some popcorn for Pennetta, who had been forced to wait out the literal changeover.
If you're going to have a wardrobe malfunction, what better place to have it than Milan, one of the fashion capitals of the world. Surely the fans in attendance have seen the likes of Armani, Dolce and Cavalli send models down the runway wearing less.

Research: Significantly Better chances of getting a Pardon… If You’re White

We’ve already learned from the War on Drugs video, that African Americans are more likely to get pulled over, more likely to get arrested, more likely to be sentenced to harsher prison terms….and so on. Now, thanks to a study done by ProPublica, African Americans are also more likely to be denied Presidential pardons.

According to the study, printed in the Washington Post, white criminals seeking presidential pardons over the past decade have been nearly four times as likely to succeed as minorities. Also, African Americans have had the poorest chance of receiving the president’s ultimate act of mercy, according to the analysis.

According to Matt Lehrich, a White House spokesman “Race has no place in the evaluation of clemency evaluations, and the White House does not consider or even receive information on the race of applicants” .

However, I STILL find that extremely difficult to believe.

Rich Welafare CHEATS:Wealthy couple who live in $1.2m home and drive a Jag have been claiming $2,000-a-month welfare for last eight years

A wealthy chiropractor who has been in practice for more than 20 years and his wife were living in a $1.2million waterfront home while claiming almost $2,000-a-month welfare benefits and even food stamps, according to documents.

A civil lawsuit has been filed against David Silverstein and Lyudmila Shimonova, from Seattle, who are accused of making false claims which included more than $1,200 in public housing vouchers, plus state and government disability cheques and even food stamps.
Prosecutors are demanding they pay back more than $135,000 in federal housing assistance since 2003 and are seeking tens of thousands of dollars in fines.
It is thought the couple have spent some of the money they claimed over the last eight years flying to Moscow, Paris, Israel, Turkey, Mexico and the Dominican Republic.
All the while, federal authorities say, the couple was collecting more than $100,000 in welfare.

Shimonova also received benefits under the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, as well as Social Security cash reserved for people who can't work due to age or disability and whose assets fall below a certain threshold - $3,000 for a married couple or $2,000 for a single person, the complaint said.
'Defendants have separately and, it appears, in conjunction with one another made false representations to various state and federal agencies in order to obtain federally funded benefits,' assistant U.S. attorneys Harold Malkin and Kayla Stahman wrote.

Meanwhile, they were traveling the world, according to Department of Homeland Security records.
Michael Radyshewsky, a federal welfare fraud investigator, wrote in an application to search the couple's home that they took week-long trips to Moscow in 2003, Dominican Republic in 2005, and Mexico and France in 2009.

In 2007, they went for 12 days to Israel, and this past June they took a two-week trip to Turkey.
The investigation included surveillance of the three-bedroom, 2,300-square-foot home on Lake Washington, during which agents observed his black Jaguar parked there frequently.
Though Shimonova had claimed she was single and lived there alone, Silverstein listed it as his residence on his driver's license and passport application, the prosecutors said.

But in documents filed so that he could receive the housing assistance, he listed his office as his residence to conceal that he was living with Shimonova - not her landlord, they said.
In addition to failing to disclose the marriage or living situation, Shimonova also failed to disclose bank accounts in her name containing tens of thousands of dollars, prosecutors said.
The lawsuit seeks to have the couple pay $11,000 in fines for each false claim the couple made. The U.S. attorney's office declined to comment on whether criminal charges are forthcoming
According to Yahoo, the couple's home includes gardens and a boat dock and that they accurately listed the address of the $1.2million property when applying for the benefits.
A federal official told the station that the couple likely took advantage of a loophole, which allows low-income individuals to receive financial assistance to help them pay their rent and move away from housing projects.

Silverstein received the monthly benefits of $1,272 as Shimonova's purported landlord, despite the fact he drives a Jaguar and has a successful chiropractor.
The government says that in gaining Section 8 housing assistance, Shimonova represented that she lived alone with her two children and that her household assets were less than $5,000.
On his website, Silverstein states: 'I am happily married with two children, whose careers are in medicine and Middle Eastern studies.

'As a family, we all enjoy snow shoeing, mountain climbing and ocean sports.' So much for that Black Welfare Queen driving the Cadillac in the hood..HUH?

Terrance Howard Claims He Never Threatened To Kill His Wife

Terrance Howard may be in a little bit of hot water with his female fan base as his wife Michelle Howard filed a restraining order against the actor for allegedly beating her and threatening her life. Terrance and Michelle were married in a secret ceremony in January 2010 and Michelle filed for divorce in February of this year citing irreconcilable differences. Read the rest to get the details of the abuse.

Michelle is claiming the abuse was on a regular basis and at one point the actor even threatened to throw her off of a balcony. 

Michelle also alleges that Terrance:
1.smacked her in the face and chipped her tooth with his wedding ring
2.threw her down to the ground in a parking lot
3.told her, “I’ll hit a woman quicker than I’d hit a man”
4.Said, “If you tell anyone about my personal business, I will kill you and no one will ever know
5.Screamed, “B*tch, walk home. That’s my car, I pay for it.

Terrance has filed papers in Los Angeles vehemently denying Michelle’s claim that he threatened her. Terrance also claims that Michelle has threatened to release “private materials to 3rd parties for her own personal financial gain”, unless he pays her to keep quiet. These ‘private materials’ could include a video of Terrance singing in a shower naked. Michelle was granted the temporary restraining order by the Los Angeles Superior Court and this temporary order will be in effect until their next court date.

Wow, It must really be hard out here for a pimp……Who do you believe Terrance or Michelle?
