According to The National Enquirer Jaime got fed up with Eddie and his diva antics on set and during post production for Dreamgirls. They say the last straw was Eddie keeping everybody waiting for over an hour for a photo shoot. Jaime finally got tired of waiting and just as he was leaving Eddie pulls up and Jaime got in his face saying he had no respect for other people's time. Eddie blew him off saying,"I'm a very busy man." and Jaime screamed,"Get your sorry ass out of my way!" and they almost came to blows, but Eddie backed up and Jaime ditched the shoot.
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.

Mel B pulled out the big guns in her ongoing paternity suit with Eddie Murphy and hired some hot shot lawyer I never heard of who represented Cher, Fleetwood Mac and Meatloaf. That must have been back in the 70s. Anyway, she want half Ed-die!
