Morgan Freeman Announces Divorce
Four days after the car crash that landed him in the a Mississippi ICU, Morgan Freeman's attorney released this statement,"Freeman and his wife of 24-years, costumer Myrna Colley-Lee, are involved in a divorce action. And for legal and practical purposes, have been separated since December of 2007."OK so check it, the reason there wasn't a lot of info on Myrna's former friend, Demaris Meyer who was riding with Morgan the night of the accident, is because when Demaris was admitted to the hospital she gave a fake name. She also told a few other lies that night. She told officers at the scene of the accident that Morgan was driving her car because she didn't know the way to his house. Her own friends house. She also said they were coming from one of Morgan's businesses in Clarksdale, but Morgan's employee's later said the couple had not been there. Sounds like Morgan had his attorney announce the divorce proceedings because he is tired of having to lie about his relationship 'ol Demaris.
Bianca Golden Arrested In Airport Brawl
Can I get a late pass? Last week America's Next Top Model cycle 9 contestant Bianca Golden got arrested and released in the Turks and Caicos islands after she got into a fight with that fat chick who played Tracy Turnblad in the movie Hairspray, Nikki Blonsky. What had happened was, both Bianca's and Nikki's families were in the Turks and Caicos airport waiting for a flight back to New York and the Blonsky family had their luggage piled up on some seats. When somebody from Bianca's family asked them to move the luggage so they could sit, words were exchanged. Now some claim Nikki's family started throwing around the N-word and other's say somebody from Bianca's fam said they didn't "want to sit next to no white bxxxh." Anyway, and this is where it gets thick, apparently Nikki and Bianca were in each other's face yelling and coming close to blows when Bianca's mother tried to intervene. That's when Nikki's dad came up and punched Bianca's mom several times in the head! She had to be airlifted to the hospital because he cracked her skull and broke her nose. Nikki's dad is cooling his heels in a Turks and Caicos jail until August 8, because his family could not come up with the $75,000.00 they needed to bail him out. Both Bianca and Nikki were charged with "actual bodily harm" and face sentences of up to two years if convicted.
