Hilary Duff's Run-In With Invasive Paparazzi

Stopping for a sandwich, Hilary Duff and her son Luca made their way to Which Which Sandwich Eatery in Los Angeles, CA

Unfortunately the 24-year-old actress had a run-in with invasive paparazzi. After they upset her little bundle of joy she shooed them away.

Protecting her little one, the former Disney Channel actress angrily voiced her opinion at the photographer before making her way back to the car with lunch and baby Luca in hand.

Miss Duff's bad day didn't end there. On her way home she tweeted, "Dear student driver in front of me... You can ALSO get a ticket for driving UNDER the speed limit!"

Lil Wayne May Believe K.Michelle & Hires Bodyguards to Protect Toya & Daughter

Well the big debate over K. Michelle’s allegations that Mickey “Memphitz” Wright physically abused her some years ago. Well sources claim that Lil’ Wayne has hired security guards in order to protect his ex-wife, Toya Wright, and daughter, Reginae, from Memphitz. Weezy reportedly drops $10,000/month on security guards to watch over Toya and their daughter Reginae.

Wright, 28, star of Toya: A Family Affair, got married last year to record producer Mickey “Memphitz” Wright. So happens Memphitz has been accused of domestic abuse — so My Homies Still singer Lil Wayne wants to make sure someone’s on hand to keep Memphitz on the straight and narrow.

The allegations, repeatedly denied by Memphitz, have been a prominent story line on the current season of VH1′s popular Love & Hip-Hop Atlanta. They were made mostly by R&B star and cast member K. Michelle. And it so happens K. Michelle is a former Memphitz squeeze.

“You bet that Lil Wayne is concerned. He mostly wants to make sure their daughter never gets caught in the middle of anything.”

Memphitz’ spokesperson reportedly had no comment on the topic when asked. Hopefully security will never have to jump into action.

What do you think about this story?

RHOA’s Kim Zolciak’s Mother Files Petition for Visitation of Grandchildren

According to reports, Kim Zolciak, well known for starring on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” is going through some real life family drama. Zolciak married NFL athlete, Kroy Biermann last year, and has since had two children by him. Kim also has two daughters from a past relationship.

Fast forward to present day, Kim’s mother (Karen Zolciak) has filed a petition with the Supreme Court for visitation with her four grand children. Karen says that she has always spent time with the girls, Ariana and Brielle, since they were born. However, since Kim married Kroy, her visitation with her grandchildren has been limited. What’s more is that she claims that she has never even seen her youngest grandson, Kash, who was born on August 15th. Karen wrote this statement in the complaint:

“She won’t let us see our granddaughters (or our grandsons). We understand that’s because Kim and Kroy are married and living under the same roof that we don’t have the same visitation rights & that’s okay. Since we’ve had a strong bond with our granddaughters, we would like that to continue… We have spent time with the girls on a regular basis since they were born. They have spent a lot of time at our house cooking, baking, doing crafts, having sleep overs, playing with our dogs, making hot fudge sundaes, eating ‘Poppy’ burgers (grandpa’s hamburgers). We have gone out to dinner with the whole family and to Falcons games a lot. Before Kroy came into Kim’s life, we spent a Christmas in the Bahamas with them.”

Karen also feels that the children live an abnormal life, being on reality TV, which is even more of a reason to be more involved in her grandchildren’s life. No word from Kim yet.

Jesse and Aryn have been together for five years and met back in the day when Jesse was working as a New York City schoolteacher who was struggling to make ends meet. Jessie says he loves Aryn because she’s never left his side and through the ups and the downs she’s always had his back.

“She’s been with me through all different facets of my career. She’s stuck with me through thick and thick and thick and thin.

Congrats to them!
