IN LOCK UP: Gary Dourdan ARRESTED For Allegedly BREAKING Ex-Girlfriend's Nose!

Posted: 07 Nov 2011 06:40 AM PST

Actor Gary Dourdan was arrested last night for allegedly breaking the nose of Maria Asis del Alamo, his former girlfriend. Get the deets on the dust up inside.....

A little more than a year ago, we told you that Gary Dourdan's former girlfriend, Maria Asis del Alamo, had been arrested for a misdemeanor domestic battery charge for messing Gary up. And now....Gary is in jail for breaking her nose!

According to TMZ, LAPD was called to Gary's home in Venice, CA last night after someone reported an injured woman in a nearby alley. And that woman was Maria!

The cops checked her out and discovered her nose was broken......and Gary was the accused! He was then arrested and booked for felony battery and is now being held on $50,000 bail.

And we know Gary has a well-documented history of cocaine and ecstasy abuse....so one has to wonder about his frame of mind during the attack.  SMH.....

Posted: 07 Nov 2011 06:22 AM PST

Looks like Drake's anticipated sophomore album Take Care sprung a leak last night.  Two tracks hit the net featuring the title track with Rihanna and "Lord Knows" with Rick Ross.  Check out the songs plus what Drizzy had to say about the leaks inside...

After two big songs of Drake's album leaked last night, he kept an upbeat attitude and tweeted that if the entire album did leak (and it did), go ahead and enjoy it and buy it if you like it. 

Meanwhile, check out his Caribbean meets dancehall track "Take Care' featuring his unrequited love Rihanna.  It samples Gil Scott-Heron and Jamie XX's "I'll Take Care of You."

 

And "Lord Knows" featuring Rick Ross:

I'm actually feeling both of these.  A third track, "Crew Lov" ft. The Weeknd (no typos) dropped as well. Take Care drops November 15th.

IT'S NOT OVER?! Kim Kardashian & Kris Humphries CONSIDERING Reconcilliation!

Posted: 07 Nov 2011 04:24 AM PST

Looks like Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries may be turning to JESUS to save their marriage! The pair met with a pastor over the weekend to consider their options.  Deets inside....

Over the weekend, Kim Kardashian was spotted leaving Minneapolis, Minnesota where she met with her husband Kris Humphries to discuss saving their marriage. Despite the fact Kim already filed the divorce (not even separation) papers.

Kim flew to Minnesota early Saturday where she and Kris had a four-hour meeting with Pastor Joel Johnson according to TMZ. Now the rumor is that a reconciliation is "up in the air." 

A source close to the couple said that both really do love each other but admit there is a lot wrong with their relationship. Ya think?

 

Kris was apparently happy that Kim came all the way to Minnesota and he hopes to win her back.

So we had a two-hour wedding special and now we are going to get a 4-hour "getting back together" special?  How convenient.  Oh, and yes, Tyler Perry still wants Kim to partake in his upcoming Marriage Counselor movie.

 

And now that Kim's back in L.A.,

 

She has time to read Tyler's script.

Kelly Rowland THREATENING To QUIT "X Factor" + Janet Jackson CANCELS Concert In Sydney

Posted: 06 Nov 2011 09:58 AM PST

As producers scramble to boost sagging ratings, "X Factor" judge Kelly Rowland has vowed to quit the show if she is forced to girl up the group of girls she's been mentoring since her start. 

Get the deets on the shakeup inside and find out why Janet Jackson cancelled her concert last night. 

Kelly Rowland may have been all smiles on the last episode of "X Factor" but it was another story once the judge found out what producers had up their sleeves for future broadcasts. 

As the UK show faces sagging ratings and competition from other reality shows, producers have decided to "switch" up the groups of talent that the judges mentor on the show.  But...Miss Kelly ain't having it!

During a backstage interview she told The Sun,

'I don't want anybody touching my girls. I'm not giving Misha and Janet up for anyone. I'd walk before I gave them up." She continued, "Everybody is doing such a good job mentoring their acts, I don't know why they'd do that.'

Some reports suggest that the show's ratings have dropped since Simon Cowell and Cheryl Cole left last year and this shakeup may give it a needed boost.  So...seems like Kelly will lose this battle.

 

Also in music......

Miss Janet has been putting in so much work during her concerts at the Sydney Opera House that she was forced to cancel her third night to rest her vocal cords. 

Only one hour before the show was set to start, fans were alerted that Janet's third night of the NUMBER ONES: Up Close & Personal tour was cancelled!

Janet's promoter, the Dainty Group released this statement:

"It is with regret that Dainty Group announces that tonight's Janet Jackson Number Ones: Up Close and Personal concert, at the Sydney Opera House, cannot proceed. Doctors have ordered Miss Jackson to undertake vocal rest for the next 2 days, so she can complete the 3rd and final show of her Australian tour, this Tuesday night at the Sydney Opera House."

 

Get well soon Janet!
