Did You Know Alice Walker Was A Lesbian?

I didn't. Apparently the author of The Color Purple had an affair with singer Tracy Chapman back in the mid 1990's. Anyway, I was trolling my favorite message board and came across this nugget about Alice and her daughter Rebecca. That was ALL OVER Brooklyn when the affair was going on. When Alice Walker and Tracy Chapman broke up (it was ugly) Tracy pulled her money out of her (Alice's) daughter Rebecca's cyber cafe and got the marshals to come in and seize the equipment. Rebecca's girlfriend posted a letter on the front of the gated up establishment cursing Tracy Chapman out and outing her. It was a scandal. Here is a picture of Rebecca. PSSST.... according to the message board, lesbian Rebecca has had several abortions and felt unloved by her mom. (Intelligencer)

Kenya Moore Says Miss USA Got A Slap On The Wrist

1993 Miss USA Kenya Moore says: “What the crown stands for is a woman who holds a certain moral standard, who is an inspiration to young girls, who is a role model. Why give her this chance at this stage? Perhaps let her build her life and redeem herself on her own." The fact that Vanessa Williams was dethroned as Miss America 1984 and that the current Miss USA runner up is an African-American, Miss California Tamiko Nash, Moore doesn’t dance around the racial connotations the decision may have. "It’s unfortunate because we still live in America. We still live in a racially [divided] climate, she said. “When Vanessa [Williams] went through certain things in her life and it was found out during her reign, she was dealt a very severe hand. So now you have this blonde, blue-eyed girl who has done, a very scandalous, even illegal thing, yet she gets a slap on the wrist. I’m all for somebody being given a second chance, no one is perfect. But why is it you can’t be a good role model for 365 days? And if you don’t draw the line at illegal activity, where do you draw the line?” (EUR)

Beyoncé Backs Out of Secret Wedding?

Personally I think Beyonce pulled a Janet Jackson and married Jay a year or two ago, but that's just me.

The money Dame "owes" will come from ODB's last unreleased record, and Icelene says Dame would rather not release the music than pay her. Icelene is also claiming Ol' Dirty's mama, Cherry, stole from $200,000 to $500,000 owed to the estate and she's suing his mother, too. I guess they don't call her ICE-lene for nothing.

Venus and Serena Williams Facing Perjury Charges

Venus and Serena are in the middle of a

multi-million dollar breach of contract suit.

These guys say they broke a commitment to play

in a 2001 battle of the sexes tournament, claiming

they lost millions when the girls pulled out. Venus

and Serena say they never agreed to do it, and that

their father made that commitment acting on his own.

That's where the perjury charge comes in.

The girls have testified in court that despite tax returns

that show payments to Richard Williams for management

fees, they both have testified that their father

has never been their manager and had no authority

to commit them to a deal. Attorneys for the

sisters and their father claim the payments

were mischaracterized for tax-deduction

purposes and that Richard Williams

was paid merely for coaching services.

Damn, from fighting a lawsuit to catching a case.

Snoop Dogg Appeared In Court Today

Snoop appeared in court today to request his arraingment

be delayed in order to "review all facts and defenses" in

his upcoming trial for trying to take a metal baton on a plane.

Watch the video here.

Don't get confused.

This case has nothing to do with Snoop's most

recent arrest on gun and drug charges. Correct me if

I'm wrong, but Snoop already has a felony cocaine possession

conviction from 1990, so based on the outcome of these next

two cases, and the 3 Strikes law, it looks like ya boy could

be facing 25 years to life.

FYI

The judge could have charged Snoop with a misdmenor in this

baton case, but chose to charge him with a felony instead.
