Poindexter is seeking $500,000 in damages.
Exclusive: Arnelle Simpson spens her Father’s Pension money on herself and caused his Florida home into FORCLOSURE!
O.J. Simpson's financial and legal woes never seem to go away - even from
behind bars.
This time, it has been revealed he is on the verge of losing his South Florida mansion because his oldest daughter Arnelle has not paid the mortgage for two years.
According to the National Enquirer, Simpson is furious with her and is blaming her for squandering his $25,000-a-month NFL pension.
The mortgage on his four-bedroom, Kendall home is $3,133-per-month.
But documents revealed it hasn't been paid since 2010 - despite the fact the acquitted murderer trusted Arnelle to look after his interests and assets after he was jailed for 33 years on kidnapping, armed robbery and assault offenses in 2008.

In an angry phone call from his Nevada prison, he accused her of blowing
his money on alcohol, shopping and living a lavish lifestyle.
The source said: 'O.J. fought with Arnelle all the time about her drinking, and he tried for years to get her married to get her out of his house.
'All she would do is sit around and drink vodka, even for breakfast.'

'All she would do is sit around and drink vodka, even for breakfast.'
'Arnelle is a shopaholic. Shopping was often the only thing that got her
out of the house. She loved her trips to Saks and Victoria's Secret and paid for
them with her father's money.
'She'd also bring all of her friends to the house or go to expensive restaurants and buy everyone dinner and drinks.

His daughter is allegedly planning on buying a condo in Los Angeles with his money.
The source told the Enquirer: 'Her actions are really revenge against a father she felt abandoned his children long ago for a life of bad behavior and crazy antics with questionable friends and loose women.'
Known as 'The Juice', OJ Simpson was one of the nation's best-loved sportsmen with a clean-cut image and a multi-million dollar fortune.
But all that changed on the night of June 12, 1994, with the double killing
of his ex-wife and her friend, who were found stabbed to death on the tiled
pavement outside her Spanish-style town house near Sunset Boulevard.
Simpson was soon arrested after a bizarre slow-speed police chase through the streets of Los Angeles, driving one handed while holding a gun to his head, threatening to kill himself.

A jury later acquitted him over the double murders after a highly-televised trial, which was followed by a civil judgment which found him responsible for their deaths and ordered him to pay $33.5 million in damages.
Thirteen years to the day after he was cleared of double murder, he was
convicted of kidnapping, armed robbery and assault with a deadly weapon and
sentenced to 33 years in jail.

The Hollywood Reporter magazine.

Highlights from Miss Renner's interview are as follows. For more, be sure
to pay a visit to The Hollywood Reporter!
“I want my personal life to be personal, and it’s not f**ing true. And I don’t care if you’re talking about things that are true, you’re still talking about my personal life. How about I go peek in your window, take what underwear you wore last night, whose husband you were f**ing, and shove that in the megaphone throughout your neighborhood? How does that feel?”
On what really went down during the Thailand knife fight:
“It was a silly, tragic accident that happened to this guy... [an acquaintance] got attacked in a bar fight at 4 in the morning. He was saying stuff, and 20 people jumped on him. I was in flip-flops. I don’t do bar fights. Did he deserve to get stabbed and almost murdered by 20 people? F**k no.”

Beyonce releases ticket prices for her Memorial Day Concert, But the question is how much are you willing to pay to see her?
It’s been a while since we have seen Beyonce hit the stage, and now she is
ready to return.
I reported a few months ago that Beyonce would be taking to the stage in
New Jersey for a 3 Day return concert memorial day weekend.
There was much
speculation about the prices for these tickets. Would they be reasonably priced,
or would fans have to take out a second mortgage to see Beyonce, well lets just
say you might not have to take out a second mortgage, but you might miss a car
payment or two.
So Beyonce plan on making some Bread huh? Well Blue Ivy has to pay for
school somehow right? Not with my coins she won’t

Meanwhile, it has emerged that the singer's 19-year-old daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, is facing intervention from her family and friends.
She has allegedly turned to pills and marijuana to help her cope with the
trauma of her mother's death.
According to America's Star magazine, Bobbi's aunt Pat recently arranged for several close family members and friends of the youngster to speak to her about her substance use, but their words fell on deaf ears.
A source said: 'Everyone is worried sick about Krissy ... her aunt Pat got a number of her friends and family to come to Atlanta and have a serious talk with her about her sobriety. There were lots of tears, but Bobbi Kristina didn't listen.'
Pat has even asked Whitney's long-term mentor Clive Davis to speak to Bobbi
- whose father is the late singer's ex-husband Bobby Brown - about her
problems.
The source added: 'Clive keeps telling Bobbi she needs to go to rehab, and that if she does, he'll help launch her music career. He's doing everything he can.'

Matt Kemp Covers Forbes Magazine
Matt Kemp, outfielder for the Los Angeles Dodgers, has signed an
eight-year, $160 million contract, now this is some serious cash! How does a
bankrupt baseball team–gives a young star player, such a hefty pay day? For the
bankrupt Dodgers, who just secured new owners, a long-term contract with Matt
Kemp represented an asset rather than a liability. Locking up Matt was an
implicit guarantee, that the new owners can quickly negotiate deals worth
billions with a regional sports network. Matt is a terrific player—the
27-year-old led the National League in numerous offensive categories last season
and finished second in Most Valuable Player balloting.

Barbara Streisand at War with Gay Son
Barbara Streisand demanding gay son change his gay-party lifestyle.
BARBRA STREISAND turns ponderous proboscis up at her only child because he
refuses to stop his gay-party lifestyle, settle down and make her a
grandmother.
Although Barbra, 69, has never taken issue with the fact that her son Jason
Gould, 45, is a homosexual, she’s never been able to put up with his
“promiscuous” ways and hasn’t talked to him in more than a year, say
sources.
Jason – Barbra’s son with “M*A*S*H*” star Elliott Gould, her first husband – is HIV-positive and has a reputation as a Casanova in New York City’s gay community, according to the sources.
Jason – Barbra’s son with “M*A*S*H*” star Elliott Gould, her first husband – is HIV-positive and has a reputation as a Casanova in New York City’s gay community, according to the sources.
“It’s terribly sad,” an insider revealed. “There’s a tremendous strain in their relationship and it’s because they’re both so similar – stubborn and pigheaded.
“Jason has a reputation as quite the Romeo. He dates a lot of different guys and is always on the lookout for a new conquest.
“Barbra is terrified that he’s neglecting his health and focusing too much attention on his social life.
“She wants him to fall in love with a nice boy and settle down. But Jason says that’s just not in the cards.”
When Barbra first heard rumors last year that Jason was involved in relationships with multiple men and engaging in public displays of affection, she blew up.
“She screamed, ‘I don’t want to hear it!’ whenever anyone brought up Jason’s love life,” the insider said.
“But Jason takes good care of himself and feels that his sex life is his own business.
“He told his mother in no uncertain terms to take her nose out of his business – and she hasn’t talked to him since.”
The “Funny Girl” singer is doubly devastated by Jason since he told her he wasn’t interested in adopting a child or hiring a surrogate in order to be a father.
“Barbra is almost 70 and she wants a grandchild,” the source noted. “She’s upset with Jason for denying her that pleasure.”
For now, neither is willing to budge.
“Barbra says she’s not going to call Jason until he changes what she calls a dangerous lifestyle,” added the source. “And Jason won’t call Barbra until she can learn to mind her own business.”
