WILL WEDDING BELLS SOON RING FOR TIFFANY 'NEW YORK' POLLARD & 'I LOVE NEW YORK 2' WINNER TAILOR MADE?

Well, as of now, unlike anticipated airing of the third installment of Flavor Flav's Flavor of Love, it looks like there won't be a need for a third season of Tiffany Pollard's I Love New York. You'll find out what I'm talking about after you read the following article.

**WARNING** I Love New York 2 Reunion Show spoilers ahead!

Tiffany “New York” Pollard — the outspoken star of VH1’s hit reality show I Love New York 2 — is going to become a Mrs. after all, PEOPLE has learned. Pollard, 25, weeded through 20 eligible bachelors in season 2 of her dating reality show before she finally found a keeper. Her Mr. Right? “Tailor Made” (real name George Weisgerber), a 32-year-old retail planner from Queens, New York. Weisgerber proposed on the Dec. 17 finale, but Pollard turned him down, saying she wanted to wait 24 months before making any decisions about marriage. “I respected that,” Tailor Made told PEOPLE. “I cherish her. She’s what I need.” On season 2’s reunion show that airs Jan. 6, he proposes to her again and, this time, “she says yes,” a source told PEOPLE exclusively. “They are madly in love. They are a great couple.”

Weisgerber, who was separated while taping the show and is currently finalizing his divorce, admits he “always had a crush” on Pollard, and thought it fate when casting for season two began. “She needs a guy who will treat her right and respects her and values her for who she is, he told PEOPLE recently. “Our personalities complete each other. I cherish her and want to cater to her every need. But I’m not a doormat. We have a good balance.”

Pollard originally competed for rapper Flavor Flav’s affection on his hit VH1 show, Flavor of Love. When he chose a woman named “Deelishis” over her, she looked for love her own show, I Love New York. In the freshman season, Pollard chose “Tango,” who, after a few months, called off their engagement, and a sequel was born.

Didn't I say in an earlier post that this 'Chris Stokes is an alleged Chester Molester' saga was far from over? Below you all will find an offiicial statement from former B2K member Omarion Grandberry regarding the accusations against Chris Stokes--a man he considers his friend, mentor and father figure--which were made by another former B2K, Demario "Raz B" Thorton and his brother Ricardo Thorton.

"I want to be on the record as saying that "Raz B" Thorton and Ricardo Thorton are lying regarding Chris Stokes. Chris is a father figure to myself, and many others in the industry. He's guided us, helped raised us and is nothing more than an inspiration and someone I respect and look up to. I have spent countless hours, days, weeks and months with the man since the age of 5 and have never once seen him behave inappropriately. He's married to my aunt and I know this man very well. I stand behind him with no question whatsoever," said Omarion. "I have grown up around Chris and this is crazy to me. These people have damaged me, and my reputation and I won't stand silent and will do all within my means to speak the truth about this matter," said Omarion.

KOBE BRYANT'S FORMER BODYGUARD ACCUSES HIM OF SOLICITING MURDER IN NEW ONLINE BOOK

There is never a dull moment in Kobe Bryant's world. And anyone who thought they knew the real Kobe Bryant had better look again. According to the Baltimore-Sun, the latest distraction he might have to deal with is a scurrilous online book published by someone who claims to have worked as a bodyguard for the Los Angeles Lakers star. Patrick Graber was charged in September 2003 with soliciting the murder of the woman who accused Bryant of rape in Colorado the same year. That charge was later dropped in exchange for a no-contest plea to grand theft, for which Graber, of El Segundo, Calif., was sentenced to three years in prison and ordered to pay $191,000 in restitution.

In his new shocking and absolutely graphic exposé, Bryant’s former bodyguard and Swiss national Lt Patrick Graber is sending shockwaves through the sports world. Dead Women Tell No Tales is Graber’s unvarnished account of his time with Bryant, first as a discreet bodyguard, then as the fall guy who was accused - then cleared - of planning the murder of the witness in Bryant’s rape case. Part memoir detailing his days spent in service guarding the president of an African nation, part graphic repository of his time with Kobe, Dead Women Tell No Tales is an absolute page-turner. It gives insight into the basketball superstar's most intimate surroundings, replete with sex, lies, and drugs, clearly showing how Bryant’s immoral behavior inevitably culminated in a felony charge that could have sent him behind bars for life.

Those who are in the know praise Dead Women Tell No Tales and Lt. Patrick Graber:

“Wow, does Graber sure have an axe to grind here....But giving my opinion, I’ve always thought Kobe was a punk, and everything that is coming out in this book supports that sentiment.”
-- Larry Brown, Fox Sports Radio in Los Angeles and larrybrownsports.com

"Lt. Patrick Graber has displayed a standard of professionalism, integrity, and devotion to our country that few have equaled and none have excelled...His honor, his loyalty, and his sense of fair play...have made him an ally whom the SPDF could rely on. He is an unusually fine man."
-- Col. Claude Vidot, Seychelles Peoples Defense Forces, Seychelles, 2000

"The account of Kobe participating in orgies and the description of the surroundings is accurate. I attended few of those parties myself..."
-- Jondell R. Montgomery, Long Beach, 2006

Bryant, who might consider legal action against Graber, declined to comment on the book beyond saying that he doesn't even know who Graber is and that the man never worked for him. Bryant's spokeswoman, Catherine Sebring, said, "We have no comment."

Dead Women Tell no Tales is available through Kobe-Rape.com, AtlasBooks.com, Barnes & Noble, Borders, and any fine bookseller.

MICHAEL'S UPPER LIP COLLAPSES AFTER SON SOCKS HIM IN THE FACE; SINGER ALLEGEDLY FORCED TO UNDERGO EMERGENCY SURGERY.

Michael's facial features freak me the fuck out each and everytime I see him. His face looks tighter than a girdle on a Baptist minister's wife at an all-you-can-eat pancake buffet breakfast. It also reminds me how much I miss the old (brown skinned before the Bad era) Michael. *sighing*

Michael Jackson reportedly underwent emergency surgery after his young son accidentally punched him in the face. The world renown singer - who has undergone multiple cosmetic surgeries on his face in the past - was recently photographed in a Barnes and Noble bookstore in wearing numerous bandages above and below his mouth. But sources tell Finditt.com the singer's son, Prince Michael II, caused the injury: "He was whacked in the face accidentally by his younger son Prince Michael II while playing around and part of Jackson's upper lip 'burst and collapsed.' That mishap led a hysterical Jacko to make a beeline for the plastic surgeon for a bit of quickie repair work."

Reports that Prince Michael II then went for a knife, wailing "And this is for You Rock My World" are as yet unconfirmed. A spokesman for Jackson could not explain the singer’s bizarre appearance while late-night shopping with his three kids, but denied he’d had surgery.

Somehow I believe this story. Michael's nose looks like it would cave in and fall off his face if he blows his nose the wrong, bless his heart. Below are 2 more photos of Michael all bandaged up on his recent outing.

IN TODAY'S 'THIS HEFFAH, HERE!' EDITION: WOMAN SENTENCED TO 5 DAYS IN JAIL FOR SNAPPING PICS OF R. KELLY IN COURTROOM.

When Jean Johnson, 49, showed up for her court date on a charge of violating her probation, she did not expect to see her favorite singer, R. Kelly, sitting across the aisle in the courtroom. The star-struck Chicago woman whipped out her Samsung phone and discreetly snapped four grainy shots of Kelly while the two were sitting in the courtroom's gallery. But her fun was not to last: The photos landed the grandmother in Cook County Jail over the weekend for violating a courtroom camera ban. "I feel stupid," she said. "I just got carried away. I'm a big fan of R. Kelly. I wanted it so that every time my phone rang, I could open it up and he'd be right there."

Johnson was released from jail on Monday—but without her cell phone—after she pleaded guilty Monday to contempt of court. Judge Vincent Gaughan sentenced Johnson to five days in jail. But he credited her with the time she already had spent there after she was taken into custody Thursday. The judge also ordered that Johnson's cell phone be destroyed. "I apologize to the court," Johnson told the judge. "I didn't respect the rules." Johnson, a mother of three, was in the courtroom Thursday to answer to a probation violation stemming from a drug-possession charge. In September, she completed 24 months of probation but was held in violation because she hadn't yet paid $200 of $900 in probation fees. Gaughan terminated Johnson's probation after she gave the judge her word that she had sent the check. The judge said it was "unfortunate" and "a shame" that the contempt charge arose at the end of her probation.

Johnson, dressed in a blue Department of Corrections uniform, thanked the judge, wished him a merry Christmas and promised, "It will never happen again."

After her release, the nursing aide said she didn't know about the ban on cameras in court. There is a sign announcing the ban in the lobby of the Cook County Circuit Court, but she said she was running late and didn't see it. She said she hadn't planned to sell the photos but simply wanted to show friends. "If I would have known, I wouldn't have taken the pictures," she said. "I was just so excited to see him. I'm his biggest fan."

WILL SMITH IS PISSED OFF TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF PISSTIVITY AFTER HIS HITLER STATEMENT WAS TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT.

It's the Holidays and Will Smith is in a grumpy mood and not too thrilled with celebrity gossip website articles that he says misinterpreted his recent remark in a Scottish newspaper about Adolf Hitler. Saturday, The Daily Record quoted Smith as saying: "Even Hitler didn't wake up going, 'let me do the most evil thing I can do today.' I think he woke up in the morning and using a twisted, backwards logic, he set out to do what he thought was 'good.'" The quote was preceded by the writer's observation: "Remarkably, Will believes everyone is basically good." Over the weekend, dozens of celebrity gossip sites posted articles, he says, that twisted his comment around to have the reader believe that he said Hitler was a "good" person.

"It is an awful and disgusting lie," Smith said in a statement Monday. "It speaks to the dangerous power of an ignorant person with a pen. I am incensed and infuriated to have to respond to such ludicrous misinterpretation. Adolf Hitler was a vile, heinous vicious killer responsible for one of the greatest acts of evil committed on this planet."

Needless to say, the Jewish Defense league (JDL) pounced all over the statement: "(He) spit on the memory of every person murdered by the Nazis. His disgusting words stick a knife in the backs of every veteran who fought (and sometimes died) to save the world from the intentions of Adolf Hitler." As if that wasn't bad enough, the JDL is also calling on Barack Obama to repudiate Smith's comments, and wants theaters to pull Smith's new flick I Am Legend from their screens.

Lord have mercy.

BEYONCE'S ON UNWANTED MEDIA ATTENTION; STAR SAYS, 'SOMETIMES I WANT TO CRY...SOMETIMES I WANNA CURSE PEOPLE OUT.

Multiple Grammy Award-winning singer and actress Beyonce Knowles sometimes becomes so upset by unwanted media speculation about her private life she wants to "kill somebody". The R&B goddess admits she has learned to live with being a paparazzi target. Earlier this year, Knowles told Vibe magazine, "Everybody messes with celebrities. At a point, you just have to decide if you really want it. If you do, you have to have a tough skin. And after you get a certain amount of success, you have no choice. Either you're gonna turn to other things to take away the pain you feel, or you have to deal with it and move on.

"If it's something about my sister or my nephew or it's something evil, then yes, I'm upset. I wanna kill somebody. If it's a rumor that's vindictive, or something harmful, or something everybody's believing that is completely not true, then it's frustrating because there's nothing you can do about it. If someone misquotes you, or says some complete lie, and then they go back and retract that, people still don't believe you didn't say it. So sometimes it hurts. Sometimes I wanna cry. Sometimes I wanna scream. Sometimes I wanna curse people out."

Well, maybe if she gave her hired candid pic-taking photogs some time off, she wouldn't have to worry about her private life being intruded upon while she and her Boo are 'just yachting off the island hopping off Amalfi coast' and whatnot.
