You may have heard by now that Shaunie O’neal has filed for legal separation against her husband Shaquille O’neal. It’s not the first time these two have gone at it but is it the last? Shaunie first filed in 2007 and had Shaq on edge for quite sometime before deciding to reconcile, this time though Shaunie seems to be fed up over Shaq’s frequent indiscretions and she’s filing them papers! <que The “A” Pod ~ Usher’s “Papers” >
It’s only been a few months since the rumor mill stopped spinning over Shaq’s Atlanta side piece, Mary Jane.? In fact, there are still those who wonder if Mary Jane’s son is actually Shaq’s. Now Shaq’s involved in even more scandals involving children and paternity: a secret love affair with a fellow ball player’s pregnant fiance as well as his rumored live-in stripper chick with a one year old!

Check out three photos of former Chicago baseball player Sammy Sosa throughout the years. The first photo is Sammy as a rookie and the one on the far right is Sammy now. Do you notice a difference?? Well apparently in the aftermath of all that steroids controversy, Sammy’s not quite comfortable in his own skin. According to a close friend of Sosa’s this is just a freak reaction to a process we women go through all the time… 😕
He is going through a rejuvenation process for his skin,” [Rebecca] Polihronis said. “Women have it all of the time. He was surprised he came out looking so white. I thought it was a body double. Part of (the photo appearance) is just the lighting.
“He is in the middle of doing a cleansing process to his skin. The picture is deceiving. He said, ‘If you saw me in person, you would be surprised. When you see me in person, it is not going to seem like the picture.'”
Sosa has also added his own explanation as to why his skin appears so much lighter in the recent photograph.? In an interview with Spanish speaking Univision reporter Tony Dandrades Tuesday on the program “Primer Impacto,” Sosa answered questions about how and why he desired to change his appearance. He was also asked if Michael Jackson was the inspiration for his new look: Continue Reading…

Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson hit the streets of Atlanta last weekend to promote his upcoming album as well as his new fragrance, Power by 50 Cent. In an appearance at Macy’s Perimeter Mall location, Fiddy explained, ?For me, power isn?t just something you learn on the street or in the boardroom ? it?s a way of life.?
While in town, Jackson also hit up V-103’s Greg Street to give the scoop about his new CD, “Before I self Destruct”.? In his interview, 50 explained the song he wrote about his ex, Shaniqua Tompkins, the mother of his son. He explained why he decided to go hard in the song:
In 2003 I was all over the place, and my son’s mom I kind of spun her out of control. I take responsibility for that. And my son, he loves her so much that I won’t say anything negative about her anymore. I said what I had to say on the record cause I had those feelings…. this record is more than an album to me, it’s personal.
In addressing the beef between he and rapper Rick Ross, Fifty explains how Rick has been avoiding his son’s mother, Tia after her association with Fifty. Even revealing how Rick’s son is suffering with no health insurance. He also puts Rick on blast for his other baby mom’s who’s a call girl (the one he had the the sex tape on):
I mean you can look at him and see he’s not a very attractive man and I can see him as a guy who would have to purchase a lil adult entertainment. But Damn… no condom Rick? That’s nasty… downright nasty!
Yeah…. he really went there. More photos + the full video of Fiddy’s interview with DJ Greg Street below: Continue Reading…
