So Kobe and Vanessa Bryant are getting sued--by their maid. Maria Jiminez said Vanessa has been utterly verbally and emotionally abusive to her for a long while now and she's fed the hell up. Vanessa curses at her, calls her "a f*cking liar", belittles her in front of Kobe and the kids, and makes her do inhuman work. When Maria threatened to quit, Kobe talked her into staying. According to TMZWhen Vanessa went nuclear because Maria put an expensive blouse in the washer. Vanessa demanded that Maria put her hand in a bag of dog feces to retrieve the price tag for the blouse.  The final sh*tstorm was when Vanessa lit into Maria because Maria put an expensive blouse in the washer. Vanessa demanded that Maria put her hand in a bag of dog feces to retrieve the price tag for the blouse. Why? So she could deduct that amount ($690) from Maria's salary. Cold blooded. And when she threatened again to quit, V told her she couldn't quit until she worked off that whopping $690. What is this--the vintage indentured servitude era? For some reason this story doesn't strike us as far-fetched. Vanessa and 'em really need to stop. UPDATE:  Here's Kobe and Vanessa's statement they just released via their lawyers: We have learned that a former employee of the Bryants, Maria Jimenez, has filed a complaint against our clients. Ms. Jimenez's outrageous allegations of improper conduct are totally unfounded and patently false. The Bryants intend to vigorously defend against these untruthful allegations and are confident that the baseless nature of the allegations will be proven.

NBA's Toronto Raptors star Chris Bosh may be added to the wack ass baby daddy files. His ex-girlfriend Allison Mathis just filed papers demanding child support from him after he broke up with her when she was seven months pregnant, leaving her destitute and without medical care even after she got sick. They also supposedly jointly bought a $1.6 mill place together in Texas and Chris paid for her fertility treatment to get pregnant in the first place. Chris is making $14.4 mill this year and has apparently completely cut her off. Drama!  The whole story is here. More gossip bits when you read the rest...

Tracy Morgan was spotted out in L.A. yesterday spending some time with two of his favorite girls:

His girlfriend Tanisha and his doggie.  Awww how sweet.

Alicia Keys answered First Lady Michelle's call of service and participated with 20 other women in talking to D.C. high school girls today: She looked fab in her 5 inch grey Fendi platform slingbacks--that I have in my personal stash so I'm a bit biased--and cute jeans.   Good to see she could come out of hiding to chit chat for Women's History Month festivites.   And 3 members of Soul 4 Real have been indicted on 145 counts of Aggravated Identity Fraud.  WTF??  I don't know who's who anymore but Duluth, GA police say that Brian Dalyimple’s brothers (and fellow group members), Jason Dalyrimple and Andre Dalyrimple will all be indicted. 33 year old Brian was arrested on suspicion of identity fraud earlier this month after somebody reported $12 g's thanks to fraudulent purchases.  According to the PD:  

 “[We also found] a multitude of fraudulently obtained credit cards,” said Major Woodruff of Duluth PD, “documents for bank loans, checking and savings accounts in fraudulent names, account and routing numbers belonging to legitimate accounts and documents containing identifying information of many individuals.”

  They just needed some candy coated raindrops to et them through the day.  This recession is getting real real for these 90's stars.    More pics of Alicia Keys when you read the rest...  

Rihanna was spotted leaving Les Deux nightclub last night in L.A.: And shortly after hopping in the car with her drivers, they were all pulled over by the cops. Nothing as dramatic as the most recent run-in with LAPD. The plates on the car were missing in the front and the window tint was too dark...and apparently that's illegal. Rih sat quietly as the cops issued the ticket. More pics of Rih leaving out when you read the rest...

Sources say Kanye and his manager Don C. will be charged with 3 criminal misdemeanors of vandalism, battery, and grand theft thanks to his literal run-in with a pap at LAX.  Back in September, 'Ye and Don wilded out on a TMZ cameraman who was harassing him at he airport.  So Kanye and Don smashed his camera in and broke the light.  Womp.

It looks like Rih Rih might not have to testify against her on-again boyfriend Chris Brown after all. Sources are reporting that both Rih's and Chris' lawyers will ask the judge on March 23rd--behind closed doors--if Rihanna could be exempt from being subpoenaed to testify against Chris.
