DON'T ASK JENNIFER HUDSON ABOUT LIPO

That's basically what I got from the Twitter battle she had with a fan this week. Jennifer Hudson was on Twitter answering questions for her fans when one of them asked her if she'd gotten liposuction along with her Weight Watchers. Hudson's response was to tell people not to ask her stupid questions. At that point, the fan went off about Hudson being hungry and having a "gay" fiance. Things went down hill from there.

Later, Hudson talked about and apologized for her reaction, stating that...

BURT AND ERNIE NOT GETTING MARRIED

Can someone tell me why we're trying to make two male puppets get married? Don't we have bigger issues to tackle such as unemployment and economy? Someone didn't think so when they petitioned for Sesame Street to marry long standing puppets, Burt and Ernie. This week, Sesame Street issued a statement saying that the characters will not be getting married and are not gay. They only exist to teach children that you can be friends with someone that is different from you.

I get the statement. I...

STACEY DASH PULLED FROM SINGLE LADIES

It's been a long time since the last time I saw Stacey Dash act in anything. I think the last time she appeared somewhere was in somebody's music video. Well, it looks like Dash is on the outs in her latest gig, Single Ladies. While it's not clear why or how, many rumors suggest that Dash was difficult on the set. Recently, her co-star LisaRaye took to social media to deny she had anything to do with Dash's firing.

In this economy, I hate to see anyone without a job but maybe she didn't need i...

FANTASIA'S SHORT-LIVED CELEBRATION

Just as Fantasia was getting comfortable-coming out with her baby-on-the-way news-a bank gives her some news of their own. According to TMZ.com, a collections agency is suing the American Idol on behalf of U.S. Bank for $25,000. Last weekend, she made other news when she confirmed that she was pregnant at an appearance in Jacksonville, Florida.

Well, you know what they say. If it aint one thing, it's another.

ERIC BENET MARRIED PRINCE'S EX WIFE

I know. I'm sorry. I would have said her name but I was afraid that some people may not know it. Anyway, in case you haven't heard, Eric Benet married his longtime lady Manuela Testolini last Sunday. The wedding was attended by 150 guests, including Samuel L. Jackson, Niecy Nash and David Foster. After the ceremony, the newlyweds announced they are expecting their first child together. This is the second marriage for both. Eric was married to Halle Berry and Manuela was married to Prince.

JAY CHEATING ON BEY

There are some rumors I like to dismiss. It's getting harder to dismiss this one. Intouch Magazine is saying that Jay-Z is cheating on Beyonce. The rapper/mogul was allegedly spoted out with Selita Banks and a host of other women. According to sources, he was pretty friendly with them, even letting one woman sit on his lap. Meanwhile, Beyonce is in Europe working.

My general rule is where there's smoke, there's fire. So, the fact that we keep hearing these rumors means there's something...

REUNITED AND IT FEELS SO GOOD

LOL Sorry, I couldn't resist. According to BET, Jennifer Lopez and Diddy have started talking again. Since Jennifer announced her split from hubby Marc Anthony, she and Diddy are rumored to have been talking and texting. They had a very public relationship that ended amongst his trial on gun charges several years ago. Afterward, Diddy had twins with Kim Porter and another child with an unknown woman, while Jennifer had twins with and married Marc.

This scenario doesn't sound all that far...

SCHWARZENEGGER: NO SPOUSAL SUPPORT

Arnold Schwarzenegger is asking the courts to exempt him from paying spousal support to his estranged wife Maria Shriver. He also doesn't want to pay for her attorney fees. On the surface this might seem like a cruel and heartless maneuver to get out of giving Maria what she's due but when you consider a) Maria will likely get their house b) they didn't have a prenup so she'll probably get half of his money anyway and c) she's a millionaire in her own right, his request doesn't sound so...

AMY WINEHOUSE: SAD, SAD

I suppose you don't have to hear from me how sad the news of Amy Winehouse's passing is but, given that the news is still buzzing, I don't mind telling you. There are many reasons why this news is disheartening. I, personally, find it sad that it had to be her. I was one of the people who purchased her sophomore CD and found her to be interesting and different. I'd always hoped that she'd get her life back on track. Maybe even make a third album. But even if she never set foot in another...

CHRIS BROWN TO STAR IN STEVE HARVEY'S MOVIE

Huffpost reports that Chris Brown is set to star in the film adaptation of Steve Harvey's book Think Like A Man, Act Like Lady. He will star opposite Lala Vasquez, Kevin Hart and Michael Ealy. I guess this explains why I've been hearing his music on The Steve Harvey Morning Show more often recently.
