COUPLED UP: Halle & Olivier Grab Lunch+Zoe Saldana & Her Boo Hit L.A.

Posted: 14 Jan 2011 07:53 AM PST

Halle Berry and her man Olivier Martinez rolled up to Angelini restaurant in L.A. yesterday.  And got chatted up by an elderly lady.  We've got the pics of them and Zoe Saldana and her man when you read on....

Cute couple.  And if you're wondering what Halle does to always pick the hottest outfit for her red carpet appearances, she recently revealed her secret:

"I look at everything someone wants me to wear. I look at it all, and I decide by what it looks like on. We test it, we get in different kinds of lights, we walk in it, we sit in it, we make sure that in every possible scenario, it looks good."

Must be nice for it to be that easy for her....

And elsewhere in L.A., Zoe Saldana and her fiance went to dinner at Red O restaurant:

 

Hey Zoe!

SPLITSVILLE: Kevin Hart Files For Divorce, Seeks Joint Custody Of Kids!

Posted: 14 Jan 2011 06:52 AM PST

Well this explains the new chick he was holding hands with recently at the Lakers game.  Actor and funny man Kevin Hart has filed for divorce from his wife of eight years, Torrei Hart.  Get the deets inside...

 

Kevin, who appeared in The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Little Fockers, has formally filed for divorce from Torrei and is seeking joint custody of the children, 5 year old daughter, Heavenly, and son, Hendricks, who is 3.

In the legal docs, Kevin cites irreconcilable differences for the split and is asking the court to not give any spousal support to Torrei. He also requested that Torrei be barred from leaving the state of California with their children without his permission or a court order.

We knew something was up because Kevin was spotted at the Lakers game last month holding hands with a new chick and he had mentioned previously that he and his wife were on the outs.

We hate to see families split up.  Hopefully the divorce won't be messy.

Toya Carter And Memphitz Cover Sister 2 Sister + Etta James Gravely Ill

Posted: 13 Jan 2011 12:51 PM PST

 

Toya Carter and her fiance Memphitz recently sat for an interview with S2S and we have bits for you inside.  Hear Toya dish about love, life and reality TV and get the deets on Etta James' health.

 

If you're a Toya Carter fan, get ready to see a lot more of her in her BET reality show spinoff debuting in April.  She talked about the show and Lil' Wayne in her reent S2S interview.

On Lil' Wayne:

“Yeah, we’re really, really cool. Wayne actually did the foreword for my book. It’s like, him and MeMphHitz met and now everything is all good.”

On her boyfriend, MeMpHitz:

“Yes he’s like sexy chocolate. (laughter) I’m kidding. He’s a family guy and that’s what I love. Like, he was raised by both parents until his father passed away. He’s very well-mannered. He’s not selfish. He’s 100 percent supportive. He’s a good friend…everything I ever wanted in a man. You can tell it’s a difference when a guy grows up with both of their parents. Like, everything was ‘yes ma’am, yes sir.’ Respectful, like, ‘Let me open the door for you.’ These days, guys think that is lame when that’s really being a gentleman. He shows me and my daughter lots of respect. And you know, I love that about him. You don’t get that too much these days.”

On her book:

“The name of the book is Priceless Inspirations. It’s about my life and growing pains and things I chose to share with younger girls. An example is teen pregnancy; domestic violence, drugs, the business-the list goes on. Relationships, boys-it’s all types of stuff, like heart break. Just everything that I have been through that has made me the woman that I am today. Like, sometimes people say you have to go through things to kind of get it. Like, nobody could tell me not to have my baby, even though everybody was against it and felt like I was a child having a child. I had to experience that. These little boys want one thing, but I still did what I wanted to do. It was just me being younger.

But sometimes stories can help you versus your parents or older people trying to tell you thing. Sometimes we feel like, “That happened to you but that don’t apply to us; that was back in the old days.” With my book I just wanted to do something inspirational. I named my book Priceless Inspirations because my name, Antonia, means ‘priceless’ in Italian.”

Alrighty then.

 

And in music news...

 

Blues legend Etta James is not doing well healthwise. Etta has been battling Alzheimer's disease, leukemia AND she had become sick with a blood infection and the MRSA superbug while undergoing treatment for an addiction to painkillers last year. That's a handfull for anyone and their immune system.

Soures say she needs help with feeding, dressing and hygiene and now there is family drama with her husband trying to wrestle power of attorney away from her sons so he can control her finances. SMH at the family drama. We hope Etta James finds some peace...

FOOLISH ACTIVITIES: Light Skin VS. Dark Skin Party Sparks Outrage

Posted: 13 Jan 2011 11:30 AM PST

Get ready for this....you just received a flyer saying there's a party.  And the theme is Light Skin VS. Dark Skin. Do you attend?  While you think about it, get the deets on a real life party full of color lines...

 

Go on down to Columbus, Ohio where you can join "#teamlightskin” or “#teamdarkskin.” By the way...these are actual Twitter hashtags. 

Some promoters got together to create a party based on the color of your skin to go down on of all days...Martin Luther King weekend.  So how has the reaction been?  Mixed.

One follower said, “This might be the most popular failed event ever.”

Another Twitter user, PoeticSongBird wrote, “The media is telling us White is beautiful but no, we have to add our own spin on it and degrade ourselves.”

So...I'm thinking they may atually have a good turnout. Knowing how the masses can be sometimes. Would you attend this foolishness?

 

Wendy Williams Shows Off A Bangin' Bikini Bod [VIDEO]

Posted: 13 Jan 2011 11:29 AM PST

Uncover your eyes.  You'll be pleasantly surprised.  A video just leaked of radio host turned talk show host Wendy Williams on vacay in Antigua.  And she's flaunting a bangin' bikini body while her husband Kevin (or son little Kevin?) tapes away.

 

Read on for the vid....

Wendy betta WORK.  She was caught coming out of a pool in Antigua showing off her bodily curves in a black bikini and black floppy hat. 

She's been working out hard core ever since switching to her tv host role and it clearly has paid off.  Is it crazy that her multi-D boobies she bought years ago look better when she's not in clothes?

Either way, Wendy's looking lie a fab chick.  Congrats to her!
