Mr. Blonski Released From Jail

After spending almost 2 weeks in the hoosgow, Nikki Blonski's dad was released from a Turks and Caicos jail after posting $3,000.00 of the $75,000.00 bond he received after he got arrested for physically attacking America's Next Top Model contestant Bianca Golden's mother, in a beating that left her with a cracked skull and broken nose. Mr. Blonski has not been given back his passport and must remain on the island until his August 19 trial. Since the airport melee that got both Bianca and Nikki arrested, several stories about the incident have come out. The Blonski lawyers claim to have 13 independent witnesses who say the Golden's started the fight after Nikki told Bianca she was saving several seats for her parents. The witnesses are expected to testify that Bianca pointed her finger in Nikki's face, called her a white bxtch and punched her in the head several times before Nikki's dad and Bianca's mom got into the row. Unfortunately this video may support the Blonski's claims.

Karrine Steffans Says Darius McCrary Break-Up was Hard on Her Son

I finally got around to reading that Superhead interview in Sister 2 Sister where she talked about her break up with Darius "Eddie Winslow" McCrary. Don't judge me. Anyway, she  told S2S that she had to take her son out of school early because emotionally, he could not deal with her and Eddie's break-up. She said the child was crying uncontrollably, vomiting on himself and basically in a trance like state. She also said when she went to see Darius, that time he tried to run her over, she was only trying to get him to come visit her child, a nine year old boy she constantly referred to as the 'the baby'. As in, I was just trying to get Darius to come see about 'the baby'.

And now who's the first one on TV talking about how much they loved and will miss Bernie? Steve "I ain't got no shame" Harvey.
