LAURYN HILL GETS KNOCKED UP FOR THE 5th TIME BY ROHAN MARLEY

Seems like all I've been witnessing today is a bunch of madness and mayhem! And the weekend ain't even over yet! So, why in the world is Lauryn Hill still choosing to conceive babies with the mental condition she's been in lately? I mean, really!

According to tmz.com, Hill, the Grammy Award winning neo-soul singer who now resembles a damn, brown clown, is with child -- again. She has four children with Bob Marley's son, Rohan, and she is now pregnant with their fifth crumbsnatcher. Rohan has seven children in all -- just four shy of his dad's eleven kids. That's a damn shame! Keep at it! Hill and Marley have had an on-again-off-again relationship --and it looks like it's currently off. According to Natasha, website owner of Young, Black and Fabulous, Marley is now living in Ethiopia, and his MySpace page lists him as single. Ladies, he's on the market! I think not!

BREAKING NEWS: FEDS SEARCH T.I.'s HOME WHILE RAPPER IS ARRESTED TAKEN INTO CUSTODY.

I am totally shocked and dismayed at this news. Just when I thought T.I. had put all of his legal troubles behind him, along comes this:

T.I. (real name Clifford Joseph Harris Jr.) was reportedly arrested at his Atlanta home today (October 13) afternoon. According to Atlanta Fox 5, Federal agents searched the rapper’s home while he was taken into custody. The authorities did not reveal the specific charges that T.I. is facing but did say that their investigation involving the Atlanta bred rapper ‘unfolded quickly’.

The agencies at the scene of the Federal search warrant include: The ATF, U.S. Marshalls: Fugitive Task Force, Fulton County SWAT, Fulton County PD, Dekalb County PD, and the ATF/Atlanta PD Violent Crime Impact Team.

T.I. currently has a number of projects, including a movie aptly titled, American Gangstas, with Denzel Washington set for November release, and he was slated to perform at tonight's (October 13) B.E.T. Hip-Hop Awards at Atlanta's Civic Center. T.I. leads the Hip Hop Awards with nine nominations (more than any other artist at the event) include ‘Best Live Performance’, ‘Hustler of The Year and ‘MVP Of The Year’. The awards ceremony will air on October 17th on B.E.T. at 8 p.m.

MOVIE STILLS + MOVIE TRAILER FOR MARTIN LAWRENCE NEW FILM, 'WELCOME HOME, ROSCOE.'

Martin Lawrence is starring in a new laugh out loud comedy which I'm sure everyone (at least myself) will want to see after they see the trailer AND once it hits theaters next February. The name of the movie is Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins (it was originally titled, The Better Man); and the cast alone may be all the motivation you need to want to rush out to see it during its opening weekend. Maybe. The film also stars: Joy Bryant, James Earl Jones, Cedric the Entertainer, Mo'Nique (Imes-Jackson), Mike Epps, Michael Clarke Duncan, Margaret Avery ('Shug Avery' from The Color Purple), Nicole Ari Parker, Affion Crockett (Nick Cannon's Wild 'N Out) and more.

Anyway, Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins, is the story of RJ Stevens (Lawrence), who left behind his modest Southern upbringing to become a successful Hollywood TV show host, with million of adoring fans. After his parents (played by Jones and Avery)request that he come home for their 50th wedding anniversary, Jenkins packs up his high maintenance, spoiled princess of a fiancee (Bryant) and his 10-year-old-son and heads back to Georgia. Ready to impress his down home kin with how much he's changed, RJ will prove he's not the walking disaster they used to pick on. At least, that's the plan...But when his crazy, lovable family, which consist of: Roscoe's big brother, Otis (played by Duncan); his sly-ass cousin, Reggie (played by Epps); and his smart-mouth sister, Betty (played by (Imes-Jackson), calls him out on his big-city attitude and challenges him at every turn, he is forced to take a hard look at the man he's become.

Roscoe Jenkins is scheduled to hit theaters on February 8th, 2008.

BABYFACE SAYS HE HAS FINALLY 'EMBRACED' HIS EX-WIFE'S NEW LIFE WITH EDDIE MURPHY.

I swear I had the biggest crush on Babyface back in his 'The Deele' days. But, since that lil bit of info has nothing to do with the following story, I'll digress. LOL!

During his appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show on Thursday, uber-producer/ R&B artist Kenneth 'Babyface' Edmonds said he has "embraced" his ex-wife Tracey's relationship with her new fiance Eddie Murphy, insisting he's pleased she's found happiness. Edmonds separated from Tracey in October 2005 after 13 years of marriage. Their divorce was finalized in June (2006). But the singer/producer has no hard feelings towards the mother of his two sons, who is now planning to wed comedian/actor Murphy.

He says, "Initially, when Eddie and Tracey started dating I felt a little funny at first, because it was so big. Even though they were together, the thing that bothered me most was the celebrity, the fact that it was so public (and) in your face. So what I usually do in situations like that, if something bothers me, is I embrace it. I don't run away from it. You have to embrace things, because the reality is if Tracey's happy with her life, then that's good, because I want the same thing for myself and she wants the same for me."

NEW CANDID PICS: USHER TAKES HIS COUGAR SHOPPING IN MIAMI

Usher and his pregnant wife Tameka Foster enjoy lunch while on vacation in Miami. Wait a minute! Vacation from what? Is it me or does a person have to have some sort of job in order to say, 'Awww, man! I can't wait to go on vacation?' Isn't that the way it goes? The newlyweds had spent the morning hopping from shop to shop. The couple picked up kids clothes at trendy MiniOxygene. Bought YSL & Ferrari Sunglasses; and Tameka purchased a Kritik sweatsuit, two bathing suits and a pair of shoes...all before leaving town in their SUV.

NEW PICS & EXCERPTS FROM USHER & TAMEKA ESSENCE MAG COVER STORY

As you all know, Usher and his Uncle Tameka's first interview together as a couple is the feature story in Essence magazine's November 2007 issue. And as you all will notice, I took it upon myself to post my opinions to the following excerpts. You can peep the pics of the couple as they shopped in Miami as well as pics from their upcoming Essence mag photoshoot.

Heat follows Usher Raymond IV. It’s been like that since 1993, when the former choirboy began his quest for R&B chart domination and ended up a decade and change later a multimillion-record-selling, abs-of-steel-having superstar. And Usher’s reign as the incumbent King of R&B has been pretty much tabloid-free. That is until the summer of 2007 introduced another type of heat and put the 29-year-old singer–actor–entrepreneur through fire of a very different kind. In Hollywood speak, the spark that ignited a tabloid-fueled media blitz was surprisingly innocuous. No drunk driving or alleged illicit substance possession. No racist, homophobic or sexist rants followed by apologies and mandatory stints in rehab. Usher Raymond IV simply fell in love with a woman seven years his senior: his former stylist and current BFF Tameka Foster aka the newly minted Mrs. Raymond.

Usher on how the media and bloggers reacted negatively to the news of his engagement to Tameka Foster: “It was like, wow. (Getting married) and having a child is something that everyone should celebrate. What’s happened to us as a culture and a people? I’m not ignorant, so I’m not going to go out there and lash out….
Did I just read that right? Oh, so calling up Tom Joyner to make him aware that you're gonna 'whup his ass' if he kept talking about Tameka isn't ignorant? Niggah, please. You ain't never, ever been as ignorant (a lil cocky maybe) as you are right now. Making moves to shut down the only fansite that's ever cared for your fluffy ass is ignorant, too, right? Again, niggah please.


Usher on how he and Tameka have stayed strong: “Ours is not a typical love story, but it is a true one. Tameka and I have been fortunate enough to go through the thick of it in the beginning. We’ve had that opportunity to huddle up as a team, to make sure that we’re clear and speak as one voice.”
*insert buzzer sound* WRONG! Try again. You said that same bullshit when you hooked up with Chilli after folks, in the beginning, made a big deal about yall's age difference.

Tameka on when she knew to trust her instincts, instead of her girlfriends, about starting a relationship with her future husband: “Thank God I didn’t listen to my girlfriends…. Usher was my road dawg. I’d seen him love, and I’d watched him date women who were not worthy of him. He was so sweet, going out of his way to cater to their every need. And I’d see them not even be grateful.”
Not worthy of him? Stop lying. Did it ever occur to you that maybe his exes didn't feel the need to be 'grateful' since he is a well known (and even admitted to) cheater; stepping out on nearly every girl he's had a relationship with? Hell, he openly confessed to cheating on Chilli and Eishia before he got with you. But they weren't worthy of him, is that what you're saying? And did it ever occur to you that maybe he felt the need to 'cater to their every need' just to clear his cheating-ass conscious? You're a man so you should know, right?

Usher on what he’s learned about becoming a father: “Tameka’s given me one of the greatest gifts I’ll ever have. With a child, now I have purpose. I understand love.”
I feel so sorry for Tameka's other kids. They're going to feel about as worthless as wet food stamps when this new baby comes along.

Tameka on falling for her husband: “I feel totally uninhibited with Usher. I’ve never been in a situation with anyone, even as far back as high school, where there were no secrets. I know I can tell him anything and he’s not going to judge me. I can finally share my dreams. And because of that, I know that man loves me.”
SHUT THE FUCK UP! Shouldn't you be somwhere humming some negro spirituals?
