Lisa Bonet's New Baby

Well, she's not really new. She's eight months old now. But remember the scandal Lisa caused when she got pregnant? And not because she was knocked up at age 40 by a 27 year old, but because her baby's daddy, Jason Momao's long time love, Australian actress Simmone Jade MacKinnon, had no idea he was having a baby with Lisa until she read it in the papers. Messy!

Michael Vick Update

Have you been wondering what Michael Vick has been doing? Besides push-ups in the yard, and buying protection with cigarettes, I mean. Your boy has been playing a little football in jail and washing dishes for 12 cents an hour. He's also been corresponding with Atlanta Falcon's owner Arthur Blank. "He talks about the process he is going through and what he has learned, the lessons of life, how he's going to come out a different person. He's sorry he has affected so many people in a negative way — the league, our club, our fans. He feels awful about that. The letters sound quite sincere to me. From a mental standpoint, he sounds good. I told Michael I'll do whatever I can to be helpful to him personally. Nothing to do with the Atlanta Falcons,” Blank said. "He's a human being and I would like to reach out and if I can be productive to him in some way, I would be happy to do that.

That Was Quick

Genesee County don't play. MC Breed was sentenced to five months in jail Friday (April 4) for failing to pay over $200,000 in child support to three different women. At the hearing, Breed’s lawyer told the judge that his client's career has been on a downslide and that makes it difficult for him to pay the child support. “I've done my best to give back what I can,” Breed told the judge. “You've given back $50 in three years,” the judge responded “That's the best you can do?” Question, Breed: Did you ever consider getting a JOB? I'm just saying.

Michael Jordan Jump-Off Revenge

There's this crazy jump-off Michael Jordan used to date named Lisa Miceli who's been stalking him ever since he dumped her. She even has a website claiming she was his long-time mistress and details their relationship complete with claims that Michael fathered her child. Anyway, back in 2005 Mike took TWO paternity tests, which both came back negative, plus sued her for harassment and filed a restraining order against her, so why is Lisa demanding a third paternity test and asking the judge to lift the restraining order Jordan filed against her, claiming the order prevents her from negotiating a child-support agreement settlement with Michael? "There is not going to be a settlement," Michael's lawyer told the judge last Friday. "Mr. Jordan is not the father of her child, and we're not going to engage in any discussions on that."

Beyonce and Jay Z Get Married

Rumors are swirling that Beyonce and Jay Z got married at Jay's Manhattan penthouse. Of course reps for both have confirmed nothing, but they say J&B went on and did it Friday. A stream of celebrity guests were seen entering the building, including Kelly and Michelle, Solange, Beyonce's parents, Jay's mama and Jay's business partner Steve Stoute, and everyone was wearing Ivory. There were also deliveries of flowers, tents, and candelabras. The only real gossip that I've heard about the super top secret nuptials is that at the last minute all the drivers who were hired to pick up the guests were told the event was off, and then a few hours later told it was back on again. Those cold feet can be a bish. Anyway, congratulations to the happy couple.
