| TV FAB: Michelle Obama DANCES IT UP With "ELLEN" Posted: 02 Feb 2012 06:41 AM PST
FLOTUS Michelle Obama stopped by the "ELLEN" show recently where she danced with the host and took on Ellen's "Push-Up" challenge. Pics and video inside........
She's making her rounds to promite her Let's Move campaign and to do a little re-election campaigning for her hubby at the same time. Yesterday, our physically fit First Lady stopped by the "ELLEN" show to promote healthy living. And she was put on the spot and challenged to a push-up contest.
Ellen asked Mrs. Obama, "How many push-ups can you do? Because I like to do a push-up." The competitive First Lady responded, "I don't know I can do some - can you? I know you've got these back issues." The First Lady took the challenge and completed 25 push-ups.
And before she left, Ellen gifted The President and First Lady with matching track suits....with her face of course! Watch the challenge here: |
| T.I. & Tiny Address Pregnancy Rumors...Sort Of Posted: 02 Feb 2012 05:47 AM PST
After previews of an upcoming episode of "T.I. & Tiny" aired recently, folks were left wondering if the reality show couple is pregnant once again.
The twosome address the rumors on "106 & Park" inside....
On last night's episode of BET's "106 & Park," T.I. & wife Tameka "Tiny" Cottle made an appearance. They dished on how Soul Train and the late Don Cornelius affected their lives (Tiny said she performed with Xscape on the show and was the first time she learned people lip synch). And of course, Rocsi asked if Tiny had a bun in the oven. Mrs. Harris, who isn't sporting a baby bump just yet, responded, "Now y'all know I can't give it away." And her hubby chimed in that the network said y'all have to watch their VH1 show, "T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle." On previews for an upcoming episode, Tiny is told by her doctor in the office that she's pregnant. And she is seen telling T.I. that she's expecting as well. But who knows how it'll all pan out. Tiny & TIP have 2 sons--King & Major--together. Tiny has teen daughter Zonnique from a previous relationship. And T.I. has 2 sons (Messiah & Domani) from a previous relationship, as well as a daughter, Deyjha, from another relationship. If the couple is expecting, this will be Tiny's 4th child she's given birth to, and the couple's 3rd child together. But it will be their 7th as a blended family (in addition to the stillborn the couple had years ago). Good luck with that.... |

In a jaw dropping move, Pilar Sanders told a judge that Deion Sanders left her broke and with no way to provide for their kids. However, he did provide her with a few options to make money....on her "back!" Get the shocking deets inside and watch Evelyn Lozada talk about her love for "Poopie Monster" Chad Ochocinco. And the messiness continues. Pilar Sanders claims Deion Sanders cut out her cash flow and has only offered to give her money if she has sex with him! In new court papers filed in an emergency motion in a Texas courtroom Pilar claims, "Since [Deion] filed for divorce on December 21, 2011, he has given [Pilar] $300.00 and offered her money in exchange for sexual favors." So what did she do? She supposedly turned down the money. Pilar wants the judge to make Deion come up off some money ASAP saying, "The children and I have lived in survival mode for several months, and the emotional toll on all of us is palpable." But it gets worse. She also said Deion "engaged in a pattern of systematically removing my belongings from the house and haphazardly throwing them into piles in the garage of the residence." So how much does she want? Pilar claims Deion makes more than $1 million per year, so she wants a cut of that.
Just for S's and G's:
And in other news about ballers and their love lives....... We told you earlier about Evelyn Lozada's sexy lingerie photoshoot for "MAXIM" Magazine and now we have footage from her interview. Above, watch Evelyn tell the story of how she came up with the nickname "Poopie Monster" for Chad. And..... Behind the scenes footage of the photoshoot. |

I didn't dare try to fill his shoes because it just couldn't be done. Don was the man! And as always in parting, me and your Soul Train family wish you, Don -- love, peace and soul! Rest in peace, my friend." Rock In Peace Mr. Cornelius.... Pic via INF |
