Aubrey O'Day. You look a mess. Calling Lil Kim's plastic surgeon was not a good look. Neither is your trying to stay relevant. It does give us a few laughs and shivers though.

Amerie was spotted out in Long Beach, CA last week partying it up with Nfluence Media Group. She rocked a cute and edgy all black look to the party that she also performed at. And was flashing that new engagement ring of hers every chance she got.

This former 45 year old NBA baller named Winston Bennett is coming out with a shocking admittance that he had sex with 90 women a month since he was 15. That’s a rough estimate of thousands of different women. My stomach is turning as I type.
Winston apparently is trying to outdo Wilt Chamberlain who also claims he slept with about 20,000 during his hay-day. Bennett has actually been married to his wife Peggy for more than 20 years and has even given her a few STDs during their marriage thanks to his self proclaimed sex addiction/cheating. He also admits to having sex with another woman the DAY AFTER his wedding day! He claims women served as a drug to him. “One was never enough,” Bennett said. “Three or four in a day was very typical for me.”
How’s he trying to get “cured?” He did enter a sex rehab years ago for 6 weeks but continued to relapse. Now he’s having his friends/player he coaches/and his co-workers help “monitor” him and has been “clean” for 3 years. Um, sir. “Monitoring” aint gonna cut it. You may want to continue seeking professional help. Please peep the tape.

Gabourey Sidibe’s mom Alice is talking to the press again. She told the folks over at RadarOnline that all this hoopla about her daughter’s weight is crazy. And she admits that Gabby does in fact want to lose weight. But she explains that Gabby wouldn’t be where she is now if she wasn’t, in fact, this size:
The truth is Gabourey would like to lose some weight but the reality is that she would not have gotten the role of Precious if she had not been heavy,” Ridley said. “As her mom I would like to see my daughter healthy but if she didn’t lose weight that’s not a problem either – it runs in our family.
In fact, they “have relatives that are 80-years-old who are too heavy” so “it works in different ways for different folks.
I’m proud of my daughter no matter what and the truth is that there are all kinds of acting roles for all sorts of people.”
Interesting. No word yet if the upcoming roles Gabby has taken on require her to be at her current weight. But it’s just been my personal observation that she does appear to have lost weight since she filming Precious.

And the drama surrounding Wyclef’s Yele Haiti and alleged inappropriate activity continues. The Gawker website seems to have it out for Wyclef as they’ve been claiming for a while now that Wyclef has been embezzling funds from his own Yele Haiti foundation. He’s denied it many times. Now, the site claims Wyclef’s been taking over $100K from his org to fund the lifestyle of his alleged mistress/”independent contractor” Zakiya Khatou-Chevassus–who also used to work with ‘Clef. The site claims:
She worked for Wyclef on all Wyclef matters,” an unnamed source told the Web site. “She did whatever Wyclef needed that day, whether it was related to Yele or not. She would do things like book flights, and she wasn’t very good at it. It’s a shame that she made that much money.”
Though she reportedly acted as the singer’s personal assistant, Khatou-Chevassus’ salary was more than three times what Yele’s program director received, and the two were said to be romantically involved, Gawker reported.
“Everyone knows they were in a relationship,” said another unnamed source. “A dozen people, including me, saw and knew. It wasn’t a secret.”

The moms of some of your fave artists gave received an Atlanta Humanitarian Award in music and television. (l-r) T-Pain’s mother Aliyah Najm, Ne-Yo’s mom H. Loraine Smith, and Lil Wayne’s mom Jacida Carter were all recipients this past Sunday. The “Queens in our Communities” gala went down at Atlanta’s Historic Highland Inn & Ballroom and the ladies were spotted arriving. And I guess their “talk show” they have together and other service activities warranted this award.
Speaking of Weezy’s mom, her son is now a wanted man in Arizona. All because he couldn’t make his court date there yesterday. Why? Because he’s at this little thing called RIKERS ISLAND PRISON. Remember?
