But I digress…
The woman in question is from New York and lives in a 34-room, 30,000-square-foot mansion. Federal criminal charges have been filed against her after she was accused of keeping an illegal alien as her domestic servant in a ?forced labor situation.? She made the immigrant work in her home for 17-hour days, seven days a week, and forced her ‘servant’ to live in a closet for almost six years!
The two joined forces to launch Gaga’s ‘Born This Way Foundation,’ which will be aimed at empowering young people.
Gaga’s empowerment organization will address such issues as self-confidence, well-being, anti-bullying, mentoring and career development through research, education and advocacy.
“The culture of love is not going to change overnight but youth are the answer to creating a braver, kinder world,” said Lady Gaga. “This might be one of the best days of my life.”

Trouble is brewing around every corner explains “Snow,” Jeezy’s character in the suspenseful clip directed by TAJ.
I spent my whole lifetime taking what’s mine… what I felt was mine anyway.
Not too many people out here understand what it takes to be me. You have to look over your shoulder everyday all day just to survive. Trouble’s always around…

You may have heard by now that Whitney had a 22 year old son, Nick Gordon.? Gordon wasn’t Houston’s biological child, but she cared for him for over 10 years and raised him as if he were her own after his own mother couldn’t take care of him.
While no official paperwork was done, Whitney claimed Nick as her “adopted” child.
Cissy Houston, Whitney’s mom, is in control of Houston’s estate and is making major changes to make sure her granddaughter, Bobbi Kristina, who has reportedly had her own problems with drugs and alcohol, doesn’t travel the same path as her famous Mom and Dad.
Reportedly, one of those changes is kicking Nick out of Bobbi Kristina’s life AND her Atlanta home! Continue Reading…
A CeeLo Green demo from 2007 has recently been leaked online for a song called “All Alone Now”.
The song was originally intended for the late Whitney Houston and was recently unveiled by super producer Wajeed:
The A&Rs at RCA were calling every and anybody to find a sound for her 2009 release, I Look To You. I worked on seven or eight different versions finally deciding on this one with additional parts from Simon Katz from Jamiroquai.
Lyrically, Cee Lo nailed it! At the time she was going though her very public separation with Bobby Brown. He wrote the words as if she was speaking directly to him.
I wish I would?ve been able to hear her wonderful voice singing these words, but for now Cee-Lo will do.
Listen to CeeLo sing the demo for “All Alone Now” below… Continue Reading…
