4 Grammy Nominations For Jennifer

Jen says, "It's been a childhood dream of mine to release an album, so to receive four Grammy nominations is truly a blessing. I am extremely honored and humbled by the nominations."

In seclusion since the killings of her mother, brother and nephew, Jennifer declined through a spokeswoman to speak about the arrest of William Balfour or the murders.

Plaxico's Boy Ratting Him Out

From the NY Post:

Embattled Giant Plaxico Burress' teammate Antonio Pierce will play ball - with prosecutors. The linebacker will cooperate and testify before a Manhattan grand jury about how Burress clumsily shot himself in the leg at a nightclub, The Post has learned.

Pierce's testimony should guarantee an indictment against Super Bowl hero Burress for felony weapon possession - but at the same time, give Pierce a pass on charges of hiding the wide receiver's .40-caliber Glock pistol after the shooting.

It was Pierce who drove the wounded Burress to New York-Cornell hospital early Saturday. Then Pierce drove his own SUV, with the unlicensed Glock in the glove compartment, home to Totowa, NJ, sources say. Burress' wife, Tiffany, who went to the hospital after the shooting, retrieved the Glock the following day from Pierce's residence and brought it to the Burress home, also in Totowa, where investigators retrieved it, sources say.

Real Housewife of Atlanta Evicted

According to the Atlanta Journal and Constitution:

NeNe Leakes, the breakout star of the hit Bravo reality show “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” is no longer living at the pricey Duluth five-bedroom residence shown on the series. According to Darryl Pierce, the broker for the 5,000-square-foot home at 1765 Silvermere Court in Duluth, NeNe and her husband, Gregory Leakes, left in November after Winwood Properties filed an eviction notice in September. The notice, filed Sept. 24 with the Magistrate Court of Gwinnett County, said Greg Leakes owed $6,240 in past due rent. “The tenant said they would move by Sept. 14th because they could no longer afford the house,” the notice said.

NeNe Leakes, in a series of e-mails to AJC reporters on Tuesday, would not say where she is living now. “It’s none of your business,” she wrote. But she noted that they “are financial able [sic] and stable to live where ever we feel fits.” NeNe, 41, wrote that the eviction notice does not have her name on it, adding “you don’t know my relationship with Greg so be careful what you report!” The Duluth home, she wrote in an e-mail late last week, “was a lease purchase corporate deal with Greg & his company. Things didn’t work out between the two of them so they did what they had to do and he did what he had to do.” On Tuesday, she wrote, “If we rent, lease purchase or buy, money is still coming out of my pocket. So who’s [sic] business is that??”

Kelly Rowland's Double Date Hell

Kelly Rowland recently told a British mag, "I once fell asleep while on a double date with Beyonce. I'd been working so hard and we'd gone to see There's Something About Mary. The lights went up and I was actually slobbering on the guy's shoulder. It was terrible." And speaking of Kelly, snitches claim she was recently spotted meeting with 19 Entertainment’s Simon Fuller. Could there be a new manager in Kelly's future?

Plaxico Burress Fined, Suspended, Done For Season

The New York Giants on Tuesday fined and suspended Plaxico Burress for four games — the rest of the regular season — after he accidentally shot himself in the right thigh last weekend at a Manhattan nightclub. The team also placed him on the reserve non-football injury list, which means the wide receiver couldn't come back for the playoffs, either. The team punished Burress a day after he was charged with illegal-weapons possession, which carries a penalty of 3½ to 15 years in prison if he's convicted. Burress is due back in court March 31, unless he reaches a plea agreement.

The 44 year old female doctor who treated him the night of the incident has also been suspended for not reporting the gun shot wound to police are required by law.

Miss Cleo Trying To Make A Comeback

Fake psychic Miss Cleo recently sent out an email trying to gage public interest in her return to the public eye. The email reads in part: “Hello My Dears, first and foremost, HUGS AND KISSES!!!! I need a favor from each and everyone of you. My publicist is currently conducting an email campaign to gauge how the ‘public’ would receive my return to television. The show would focus on relationships. Your emails will be so VERY IMPORTANT to moving forward... Cleo describes her new effort as a cross between a talk show and a reality show like, "The Surreal Life" meets "The Tyra Banks Show".

The Show Must Go On

Even though Tina Turner was hospitalized the night before her sold out gig at Madison Square Garden with a high fever and had to be put on oxygen, she refused to postpone her show.

Beyonce Has Furry Pits

Gary Coleman Pleads No Contest

Gary Coleman has pleaded no contest to a disorderly conduct charge stemming from a September incident at a bowling alley. The 40-year-old former star of "Diff'rent Strokes" was ordered to pay a $100 fine in a Payson court Tuesday. He also pleaded no contest to a reckless driving charge, which will be waived if he doesn't have any other violations within a year.

Shanequa Is Somewhere Laughing

Rapper 50 Cent claims to have lost millions in the recent stock market crash. 50 says, "Pushing (the album) back was to position myself a little better. I've lost a couple of million dollars already. I sit with my investors and business managers and accountants, looking at the numbers and I'm like, 'Yo, the values of stocks in different areas are decreasing.' So I take loss like everyone."

Vlad Beasts The Paparazzi

If the rumors are to be believed, either Naomi Campbell is rubbing off on boyfriend Vladimir Doronin or blame the chick in yellow for instigating. Folks are claiming when Naomi and Vlad were kicking it on South Beach last week, the lady you see here in yellow waltzed over and told them they were being photographed, which apparently didn't sit too well with Vlad, because they say shortly after this picture was taken Vladdie stepped to the photog and punched him in the gut. TWICE!

William Balfour Officially Charged

Chicago police said today they have arrested William Balfour for the murders of three relatives of Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Hudson. Balfour, 27, has been in custody in Stateville Correctional Center on a violation of parole and was transferred to Chicago police custody today after they served an arrest warrant.

They say the ruler of the United Arab Emirates, multi billionaire [as in 23 billion] Dr. Sheikh Sultan Bin Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, was totally smitten with Access Hollywood correspondent Shaun Robinson at the opening of the new Atlantis Resort in Dubai and rarely left her side the entire weekend.

A.I. Can Handle You and Two of Your Girls

According to one of my favorite message boards, the reason why Detroit Piston Allen Iverson missed practice with his new team last week may have had something to do with Flavor of Love hottie Deelishis. There have been several sightings of A.I. at the Detroit MGM Grand Casino, as well as at All Stars strip joint on 8 mile, but the night before he missed practice snitches claim A.I., Deelsishis and two of her girls were all over each other at the black jack tables in the high rollers section of the MGM and then slipped off for a foursome.
