Did Common and Serena Call it Quits

After Common appeared to numerous red carpet events and movie premieres without his "girlfriend" Serena rumors have started resurfacing that the two may have split. Of course their reps haven't made official statements and we don't expect them to. With Common and Serena having numerous projects we don't see their split being of much help.

Better to use it when they need some serious publicity. Good call, although we can tell the two aren't as into each other as once before. Awww... Well ladies at least Common is some available man-meat again

Movie Review: Sex and the City 2 Sucks?

According to a tough critic Sex and the City 2 doesn't live up to its hype:

As tasteless as an Arabian cathouse, as worn-out as your 1998 flip-flops and as hideous as the mom jeans Carrie wears with a belly-baring gingham top, “Sex and the City 2” is two of the worst movies of the year.The transformation of the girls from winsome wisecrackers into whiny bling-obsessed chuckleheads is complete.

We didn't post the complete review for those of you out there who want to see it without knowing what happens. But for those people who won't see it and are interested in a couple spoilers click here. Say it ain't so...

Mariah Carey Puts Out an Electrical Fire

Mariah Carey proved she was more than a Diva who sings tunes after she put out an electrical fire that broke out under her feet as she was waiting to take the stage at a concert in Egypt. She tweeted:

"In Egypt getting ready to go on stage and suddenly there was a surge of power and an electrical fire started under my feet! Naturally, my emergency instincts kicked in and I put out the flames w/a towel."

This isn't the first time that Mariah put out a fire, she also extinguished a fire in her home late last year after a blaze broke out in her master bedroom during a Valentine's Day celebration with her and Nick. At least she has some great instincts. We're impressed.

News Break: White Families Now $95K Richer Than African-American Families

A new study by researchers at Brandeis University in Waltham, MA claims that in the last 23 years, the gap between the average net worth of African-American families and white families has more than quadrupled:

In examining data from 1984 to 2007, Brandeis's Institute on Assets and Social Policy found that the average white family now has accumulated $95,000 more in total wealth than the average African-American family. One quarter of African-American families, the report notes, currently have no financial assets to protect themselves from financial ruin. By 2007, the average middle income white household accumulated $74,000," the report's authors note, "whereas average high income African Americans owned only $18,000.

The racial wealth gap results from historical and contemporary factors but the disturbing four fold in crease in such a short time reflects public policies, such as tax cuts on investment income and inheritances which benefit the wealthiest, and redistribute wealth and opportunities. Tax deductions for home mortgages, retirement accounts, and college savings all disproportionately benefit higher in come families. At the same time, evidence from multiple sources demonstrates the powerful role of persistent discrimination in housing, credit, and labor markets.

Swizz Beatz Tells Mashonda to Sit Down... I Paid You

After reports of Swizz Beatz owing Mashonda over $300,000 for alimony payments and such Swizz responded saying the reports were inaccurate. According to Swizz he has paid Mashonda above and beyond what was advised by his legal counsel and provided more than enough for her to support herself and their son:

“I gave over what the judge was recommending to give. I gave her $700,000 up front, because I thought $200,000 wasn’t enough for what she wanted to do. I still get spit in my face for it,” he said. He suggested that the subsequent payments had been ready to go when he discovered “she’d been selling all my stuff out of my house.”
Clair said the only items his client sold were some remote-controlled vehicles the producer had left behind after movers took out his belongings.”

Both Mashonda and Swizz are due back to court next month. This is getting messier by the minute, we can't stand it!

Diddy on Love: I’ve had a lot of Material Things, but I’ve Never Conquered Love"

In a recent interview with Parade Diddy went into detail about why he can't maintain a steady relationship:

“I’ve had a lot of success and I’ve had a lot of material things, but I’ve never conquered love. I’ve never just had that always successful relationship. That’s due to the fact of me working and not paying attention to the girl, or me also feeling that the girl doesn’t appreciate me. And then I get a girl that really knows how to love me and I’ll press the self-destruct button because it makes me feel uncomfortable that she’s loving me so much.”

“I just want to be happy. You know what I’m saying? I just want to be happy and I want to be able to make somebody else happy. I don’t think I need a ring or picket fence or whatever society’s definition of happiness is in a relationship. I just want to be happy in my heart.”

We can understand this theory Sean and we have often wondered why you've never been able to settle down with anyone seriously after Misa and J-Lo. Hmmm

Ciara and her Soft Porn have been Banned from BET

Ciara's video for "Ride" has been banned from BET:

Although fans were already skeptical about BET being the only network that had not premiered Ciara’s “Ride” video, it was not until last night that fans were TRULY enlightened. During Ciara’s Ustream chat, Ciara’s grandma, Grandma Gladys, let a “cat out of the bag”. Ironically, though many “non-family friendly” music videos have been shown on the channel in the past, “Ride” has not been accepted onto the network.

Wow now BET wants standards.
