Gabourey Sidibe was photographed with her boyfriend recently and word on the curb is that she’s been hesitant to be seen with him.
According to Fresh:
Gabby was spotted over the weekend courtside at a New Jersey Nets game with her new man (whom she has jokingly referred to as ?Boyfriend X? in past interviews) looking crazy in love.
?He?s a regular guy working a regular job, and I?m scared to take him anywhere,? she tells Harper?s Bazaar magazine.
That’s right Gabby. You shouldn’t take him anywhere anyway… he should be taking you! [Sidenote: With those cornrows I’d have to think twice about appearing in public with him too…]
Anywhoo… they look happy so I’m happy for them!

Singer Omarion was the hot topic over the weekend when an “official” press release was issued confirming his bi-sexuality.? The release was said to be the R&B singer’s response to former B2K bandmate Raz B’s allegations that he is a gay man.

Meet 21-year old Theodore “Ted” Cornell Lockett. Lockett took the above mugshot after he was arrested for the brutal beating death of his grandmother, 92-year-old Dorothy Lockwood.
According to the Augusta Chronicle, Lockett returned home late Saturday to his grandmother’s Apache Trail home, where he had lived for six months before being asked to move out.
Lockett confronted his grandmother that evening around 10pm and began assaulting her in the living room, knocking her to the ground and striking her several times in the head with a glass table.
Authorities say Lockett then called his mother, Sondra Lockett, and told her he’d just killed his grandmother and was going to kill her.
According to police reports, he “then went back inside the residence and assaulted Lockwood again” by striking her in the head several times with a microwave oven.
His mother called police and when they arrived, they found Lockett inside. He surrendered without incident.
Another bedridden female relative was inside the home at the time of the beating, but was unharmed.
Lockett was booked into the Richmond County jail at 2:15 a.m. Sunday on charges of aggravated assault, burglary and making terroristic threats.
The charge of murder was added when his grandmother died about 5 a.m. Sunday at Medical College of Georgia Hospital.
