Details Released About Halle Berry's 911 Call After Spotting A Man On Her Property

Posted: 11 Jul 2011 08:00 AM PDT

Halle Berry was forced to call the cops over the weekend after she noticed a man lurking around her kitchen window.  Get the deets inside....

 

A shaken Halle Berry phoned 911 yesterday after she noticed a man staring at her through her kitchen window. 

After the actress reached authorities, a helicopter was dispatched to canvas the area in addition to several patrol cars and cops on foot, who also searched for the suspect.

Sources told TMZ that the suspect was the same man who hopped Halle's security wall on Saturday, sparking her first call to authorities.

So far, the man is still on the loose.  Cops suspect he might be an obsessed fan or a very bold photographer.  Either way, we hope they catch him soon.  

And in other Halle news, an excited Aretha Franklin recently revealed that Halle is back in the running to play the "Queen Of Soul" in an upcoming biopic.  We will keep you posted about which actress (Jennifer Hudson and Fantasia are also in the running) lands the role.

Hey Lil' Kim! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Posted: 11 Jul 2011 07:58 AM PDT

 

 

Today is Kimberly Denise Jones aka Big Momma aka Lil' Kim's birthday. Come inside and celebrate Lil Kim's year in our gallery.

 

Since the 1990s, Lil' Kim has been one of the most iconic figures in the world of hip-hop.  With over 15 years in the music industry, she has released classic albums like Hardcore and La Bella Mafia and become a fashion/photography muse for the houses of Marc Jacobs, Versace and David LaChapelle.

And of course, her physical changes have kept us buzzing and chatting about "Did she or didn't she?" change too much or go too far. 

But whatever your interest, we all can admit that Lil' Kim changed the game when she first appeared on "Player's Anthem" and things haven't been the same since. 

Look through our gallery and celebrate Kim over the past year.

Happy Birthday Queen Bee!

Jennifer Hudson: Dreams Do Come True...If Anyone’s Proof Of That, It’s Me!

Posted: 10 Jul 2011 03:30 PM PDT

In a recent photoshoot and interview with the Daily Mail, Jennifer Hudson opens up about her life as a successful recording artist, how her weight loss has inspired others, and how she kept pushing on after the death of her mother, brother and nephew.  See the highlights inside....

 

In a new interview published by the Daily Mail in the UK, Jennifer Hudson talks about a number of subjects close to her heart including David Jr., weight, discrimination in the industry and family.

 

On if the industry discriminates againt plus-sized women:

 ‘No, because I was doing OK before,’ Jennifer says. ‘But the truth is, so many more opportunities open up when you’re on the other side, as I am now. I’d no idea what I was missing out on. It’s like a whole other world. Suddenly every designer wants to dress you. It’s like, “You look amazing! Please, choose a dress. Have a bag. And what about shoes?” I mean, wow!’ 

On being successful:

‘To be able to sing at this level is a blessing in itself, and I got publicity for what I was doing before I dieted. But never to this extent. Now, whenever I open a magazine, I seem to see myself there. And I get to dress up every day and have someone take photos of it all. For someone who loves fashion, it’s like living the dream. Of course there are those mornings when I think, “Please don’t look at me right now!” But you just have to pull yourself together, get out there and do your job. I mean, how lucky am I to be in this position?’

On being a mother:

‘When it’s mommy time at home, the supermodel me – black Barbie, as I call her – is definitely not in the house. I don’t want to be all glammed-up in big hair and full make-up. I need to relax, to breathe and to concentrate on my son.’

On the tragic shooting death of her mother, brother and nephew:

‘You have no choice but to keep going,’ she says quietly. ‘What else are you going to do? It’s called life and you’ve got to be prepared to deal with whatever it brings your way.’

On moving pass disappointment:

‘“Don’t block your blessings. Don’t let doubt stop you from getting where you want to be.” Those were the lessons that I took from American Idol,’ says Jennifer. ‘“OK, from now on I refuse to let anyone interrupt the vision I have for myself.” Sometimes I think we hurt ourselves by being too aware of the challenges. It can be better not to know. With Dreamgirls, I had absolutely no idea what I was letting myself in for until I was out there on the set.’

On David Jr.:

‘He’s very much his own person, a little performer who loves to sing and dance,’ she says. ‘He’s so charming, too. Yes, I’m biased, but I’ve never seen a child with such presence. He says “hi” or “bye bye” to everyone when he comes in or out of a room, and goes round blowing kisses to everyone. My phone is completely backed up from videoing everything he does, because he surprises me constantly. ‘When I found out I was pregnant and went for the scan, he was so very little. To have that memory fresh in my mind and yet to now have this boy with me, dancing and laughing…’
 

Bow Wow Nixed From Daughter's Birth Certificate + Pacman Jones ARRESTED Again!

Posted: 10 Jul 2011 01:26 PM PDT

 

After revealing that he did indeed fathered a beautiful baby girl by video model Joie Chavis, the drama between Bow Wow and Joie is unraveling before the rest of the gossip world. We have the former couple's latest baby mama drama plus deets on why Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Pacman Jones was arrested after a bar fight when you read on...

 

According to TMZ, while Joie was undergoing an emergency C-section for her first child with the rapper, Bow Wow did not show up for the baby's birth.  So she decided to nix him for the birth certificate completely. Sources say Joie was pissed and that Bow Wow did not show up until six days after baby Shai's birth. 

She is now claiming that Bow Wow is pretending that he is loving doting dad in the opened letter he penned to his fans, but failing to mention that he was not there to support her during the delivery of their daughter.

But she has decided to let the bull go and allow a judge to list Bow Wow as the father.

SMDH. Wonder what was Bow Wow's excuse as to why he wasn't present for Joie's while she was undergoing the knife? For the sake of their newborn baby, I hope they can let bygones be bygones.

 

In sports related foolishness, Adam "Pacman" Jones is in trouble with the law AGAIN!

The infamous Pacman Jones was arrested by the Cincinnati police at 2:35a.m. Sunday at the Scene bar. Reports claim that Pacman was disorderly and shouting curse words at the bar.

He was escorted outside but continued being belligerent.  It took two cops to restrain and handcuff him. He was booked into the Hamilton County Jail and snapped his mugshot in a neck brace (the neck brace is from a football injury back in April).

Due to the lockout, the Bengals cannot have contact with Pacman regarding the incident. But although the lockout is in place, conduct procedures still apply, which means Pacman will most like face suspension.

I really hope the lockout ends soon because these athletes can't seem to stay out of trouble.
