Tiger Woods has been on a 4 month hiatus from golf, and he just announced he’s ending it. He will be returning for an upcoming Masters tournament and it will be his first competitive game as he’s been handling the fallout from his “car wreck” and the umpteen women who were revealed he cheated with.
Tiger’s entire statement after the cut….
Gabby Sidibe was spotted shopping in NYC this weekend. In light blue Uggs and a matching plaid jacket and leggings. Interesting.
Also, weight loss pills are being thrown at her lately. According to TMZ:
AcaiSupply.com is reaching out to the Oscar nominated star, noting that obesity is a “major epidemic” in the U.S. and they want to help her fight what they call “this terrible affliction.”
The company is offering her a one year supply of the product, in return for an endorsement — provided she loses weight.
The CEO wrote a letter to Sidibe, urging her, “The only way you can reach your goal of someday winning that Oscar is by being active, fit, and most of all, healthy!”
Whoa.
By the way, in case you missed it, Jamie Foxx did a Precious impression and referred to Gabby as “Notorious Precious” during his radio show Friday. Check it.

La La Vazquez is covering the April 2010 issue of Latina magazine. And the fab 30 year old makes it clear that she’s been calling her own shots for a long time.
She’s also talking about her multimillionaire baller fiancé Carmelo Anthony. “I don’t think people understand how hard I’ve worked to achieve the things I have,” she tells Latina.
We’ve got some interesting quotes from La La and Melo on their controversial long term engagement. And Melo sets the record straight once and for all:
“Even with all that I’ve accomplished on my own,” says Alani “La La” Vazquez in the April 2010 issue of Latina magazine, “I know the story out there about me: ‘[Carmelo] ain’t gonna marry her. She got that ring but now he’s making her wait. He don’t really love her…’ For once…I’d like to tell the story as it is. Not as it’s told.”
“I wasn’t making her wait,” Denver Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony tells Latina magazine of La La, his fiancée. “If anything, I was waiting for her to slow down. She was doing her own thing, handling her business and we were happy. When it was time to take it to the next step we did. Period.”
So has he ever doubted for a minute that La La Vazquez is Mrs. Right, one with life, mindset (and bank account) of her own? Melo speaks slowly, but surely: “ I wouldn’t be with her if it was any other way.” “Understood?”
Ok Melo. I see you. Set us straight then. I’m not even mad. Who doesn’t love a man that doesn’t play games when it comes to talking about his woman?

So Swizzy was in the studio with DJ Enuff recently. And the fellas started trading war stories about their divorces. Without blatantly naming names, Swizz said his divorce from Mashonda is 99% done and is the hardest thing he’s ever been through. He said Enuff was lucky his is already done and over with.
Swizz also talked about how one person did not come in and wreck his marriage, it was already serious issues going on. And he denies Mashonda’s claims that he cheated with Alicia Keys, but alludes that she’s his soulmate. He says one person can’t wreck 10 years of something. Hmmmm.
He alluded to the “bullsh*t” of a certain someone going through his phone trying to find dirt to send out and the same someone forcing him to choose between his older son and his relationship. Then, he went on about how important it is to find someone “equal” and on your level. (I indeed feel him on that ish.) Not just settling for someone who is sitting home playing games. Well tell us how you really feel Swizzy.

If you can peel your eyes away from the pic long enough, here’s snippets of Lance Gross’ chat with the ladies of HoneyMag.com. And he’s talking about his and Eva Marcille’s real life upcoming “Family Wedding” and how much his career has grown.
On How It Is For Him To Be Openly Engaged:
“With guys, you’ll always have guys coming up to you and saying, ‘You sure you want to do this?’ But with me, it’s cool. I’ve found that person I want to spend forever with and I don’t really have any problems with [wanting to stay] a bachelor. I’m in love and I want to spend the rest of my life with her.”
On If He Is Having Any Our Family Wedding Moments In Real Life with Eva Marcille:
“No. It’s pretty easy. Our families get along great. Nobody is arguing and I’m paying for the wedding so that allows us to do what we want to do. We don’t have our family members butting in and telling us how it should be done. So it’s a little easier on us. We’re not having any of that drama.”

In a rare turn of events, Chris Brown has taken to his Say Now account to speak directly to his fans. He is pleading for his fans to request his songs and help him get back on the radio as many stations are not playing his music. And he explains how imperative it is that an artist has radio as an outlet. Check his voice message:
What he said:
“I ain’t never really did this but right now I need all of my fans help. Some radio stations aren’t playing my records. They are not being that supportive and I wouldn’t expect them to. It’s on the fans and you guys do what’s in your power to bring me back. That’s all I need is you guys and nothing else will do that except for the fans.
I don’t know what else to say. It’s nothing else that I can do. I’m doing everything that I need to do. I’m doing me as a person and I’m a better guy. It’s on ya’ll. My singing and my music I do it for you guys and everything else but it won’t be possible if I’m not relevant on the radio and it wouldn’t be possible for me to be an artist if I don’t have any support from the people giving artists an outlet. I can’t be an underground mixtape artist. That’s where we are. I just want all my fans to help me. I love ya’ll. Peace”
NeNe’s PR folks just sent out this press release about her son Bryson’s arrest. It was titled “HOT ATLANTA HOUSEWIFE, NENE LEAKES, RELEASES STATEMENT ABOUT SON’S RECENT ARREST”. Here it is in full:
LOS ANGELES – NeNe Leakes from Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” releases the following statement about the recent arrest of her son, Bryson Bryant:
“Like any parent, I am disappointed with the actions and arrest of my son, Bryson. Certainly, my husband and I will deal with this family issue in a private manner. My son is not the first young adult to experiment with marijuana, and he certainly won’t be the last. Still, as parents, this is a chance for us to have an open dialogue with him about the dangers of any substance abuse. I realize as a parent that my job is never done. And as I’ve tweeted, tough love was in order. Still, I ask that you respect our privacy during this trying time.” – NeNe Leakes
Well there you have it.
