Just When You Thought They Faked the Funk: Kordell and Porsha Stewart Divorce Drama Continues

 
 
 
Welp, just when you thought these two had gone away amidst their "fake" divorce, ish just got real again. Can't wait to see the scenes for the next season of RHOA.
 
Kordell was the one who filed for divorce, unbeknownst to Porsha. The couple were reportedly still living in the same residence after the filing and Porsha made claims she had been locked out the house on several occasions. Now there seems to be more strife.
 
According the TMZ:
 
The “Real Housewives of ATL” star just filed new docs in her divorce war with Kordell … and it appears the nasty split just got even NASTIER.
According to the docs, filed in family court in Georgia and obtained by TMZ, Porsha claims Kordell has locked her out of their residence on multiple occasions … and she had to have her lawyer beg Kordell’s people for a key.
Sources close to the situation tell us Kordell isn’t playing ball — and hasn’t forked over a key.
But there’s more … according to the docs, Porsha tried to work things out with Kordell in a mediation session, but she claims he blew the whole thing off … and called it a “waste of everyone’s time.”
Porsha wants a judge to force Kordell to either allow her to use the house … or pay her enough cash so she can get a “suitable alternative residence.”
Sources tell us Porsha is currently living with her mom in ATL — guess she feels it’s just not a “suitable residence” for a grown woman.
I am still hoping these two work things out, but best believe Porsha will be eating her words next season after rubbing it in people faces about having a husband and a "picture perfect life."
 


Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson says he can't pay child support and is arrested for probabtion violation



Child please!

Former NFL player Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson is definitely best not having the best week ever.

According to gossip site TMZ.com, Johnson recently filed paperwork lowering his child support payments from the $5,420 he agreed to pay back in March 2012. Since he has been released from the Miami Dolphins after his domestic dispute with former ex-wife Evelyn Lozada., he claims he cannot afford payments as he "finds himself without a contract and without a team." (Sound familiar T.O?)

If that wasn't the icing on the cake, Johnson was arrested this week after a warrant was issues due to possible probation violation.

According to gossip site TMZ:

Chad Johnson was just arrested in Florida — after a Broward County judge determined the ex-NFL star violated his probation stemming from his 2012 domestic violence bust … TMZ has learned.
We broke the story … a warrant had been issued for Johnson’s arrest earlier this month after he failed to report to his probation officer on 2 occasions AND failed to show proof of enrollment in a domestic violence education class.
Johnson’s probation stemmed from his domestic violence conviction involving ex-wife Evelyn Lozada last year.
35-year-old Johnson appeared in a Broward County courtroom over his alleged probation violation — and moments ago, the judge determined Chad WAS in violation and ordered him to be arrested and jailed.
TMZ has obtained Johnson’s booking sheet — he’s listed as 6’4″ 190 pounds.
Glad he was able to pull himself away from Twitter and Instagram to get his ish together.


Mary J. Blige and comedian Sinbad join the list of celebrities owing MILLIONS in back taxes


 
It's most definitely mo' money, mo' problems and please don't let anyone tell you different. At least not Mary J. Blige and Sinbad. Singer Mary J. Blige has been slapped with a 3.4 million tax lien. The IRS claims that Blige did not pay taxes for the years of 2009 to 2011. Blige also apparently owes the state of New Jersey  $900K and allegedly defaulted on a 2.2 million dollar bank loan. Comedian Sinbad has filed bankruptcy for the second time, claiming to owe $10,991,715 in debt with only $131,000 in assets. According to gossip site TMZ,  he also owes a cool $8.3 million of back taxes from 1998- 2006. Sinbad claims that he cannot pay his bills and only makes $16,000 a month. SAY WHAT??!!!! Look, I'm definitely not here to judge, but will someone please do a documentary on one of these networks on why so many celebrities are on Uncle Sam's hit list? I have questions. Like, who is managing their money? How can you go for so many years and make so much money and not pay? Isn't that why they spend (or should) good money to have people conduct this business for them? Chile, what do I know, I'm just writing a little cute blog:) Blige and Sinbad join the long list of celebrities with tax woes such as Ronald Isley, Wesley Snipes and more recently Lauryn Hill, who will serve three months in prison for non payment of taxes. Prayers up to these celebs as they go through these tough times.

President Obama makes uplifiting speech at Morehouse College's 129th commencement ceremony






On Sunday, May 19, President Obama delivered the 129th commencement speech at Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA. President Obama gave a rousing speech, that deemed a gateway of knowledge to the black community's educated that needs to be spread from every rooftop in black communities all over: Stop making excuses. Obama himself even admitted of falling victim to the very excuse pitfall of many black men stating "wrote off my own failings as just another example of the world trying to keep a black man down." The president also spoke to the 500 men of having to work "twice as hard" and that "nobody cares of you had a tough upbringing or suffered some discrimination" . He also urged the graduates to step up in their professional lives, give back to their less fortunate community and become better fathers and husbands. Whew, P.O.T.U.S., tell it plain.  For those who always criticized  the president for not taking a bigger stance on the issues of black America, I think he took the proper stance of speaking to some the very future leaders of black America. And quite frankly, there wasn't an elaborate plan and tips to be black and successful in America. It's what we as black Americans have always known but not all of us choose to exercise, especially with the past and future presence of discrimination. Yes, it is alive and well. But in 2013, with a two-term black president, I don't care how much you think THEY may being trying to hold you back, step your game up and anything can become possible.

HATERS BE QUIET! Beyonce dazzles at 2013 Superbowl performance

Beyonce put the naysayers to rest during her smoking hot halftime performance at the Superbowl on Sunday, Feb 3. With a dazzling stage formed in the silhoutte of her face, fire blazing, and her strutting her stuff like nobody's business, she shut down her haters who questioned her during her recent inagural performance where she later admitted she sang to a back track. 

She even brought her girls from Destiny's Child for a cameo appearance, doing a couple of their undeniable hits and finally performed that infamous "Single Ladies" dance. (Always imagined them doing it together). I honestly don't get the hate and speculation with my girl King Bey, she is a beautiful black woman who is one of the world's top entertainers none the less. They tried to rip her apart when she admitted to singing to backing track due to the weather conditions and not a proper soundcheck, like the girl can't hold a tune. Really? Its things like this that amaze me because in my opinion, especially as an avid music lover, America seems to deal with the pre-packaged, sub par talent of today and we are supposed to deal with lackluster entertainment.

But Beyonce sets herself apart because as she been on record saying, she is a "perfectionist". She takes her craft seriously and actually entertains and will probably be considered an iconic entertainer of our time. Yet, people try to pick her apart like she sqwaks like a parrot when she sings like some other entertainers that you all may know...but hey, they talked about Jesus right? Anywhoo, in case you have been somewhere under a rock and a hard place check out her performance below:

She also took time out during her moment of glory to announce her world tour, " The Mrs. Carter Show"
Peep the promo below:
