GONE ALREADY

I guess Gone Already wasn't just a song for Faith Evans. The songbird filed for divorce after 13 years of marriage to her manager/husband Todd Russaw. Though they are just filing for divorce, the two are cited to have been separated since 2005.

TMZ noted that there separation date was strange because their last child was born in 2007. I would have to say that this isn't strange at all. There are thousands of couples who are "separated" but still get down with their "estranged...

BASKETBALL WIVES SEASON 3

I saw a teaser for season 3 of Basketball Wives. One thing I can say: Evelyn loves to throw liquids. As a matter of fact, the moment someone sees her hand reach for the table, they should already start getting prepared.

Overall, it looks like the drama will continue between Evelyn and Tami. There'll also be drama between Evelyn and Royce, which will lead to a fight (hence liquid reference) and Jennifer will finally file for divorce. They'll also be a new lady on the show, Meeka Claxton...

WHAT IT GETS WORSE

These days I don't think anybody is surprised when they hear that someone cheated on somebody else but when the story is as sorted as is the case between Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, you can't help but raise an eyebrow or two. Every day new details about Arnold, his affair with the housekeeper and his secret love child emerge. News stations are blurring the face of the child. However, some websites are not.

If the details in the news are at all true, then Arnold may not care...

KEYS: EVERYTHING WAS IN ORDER

Those were singer Alicia Keys' official words in the current issue of Essence Magazine. I read it yesterday and she talked about her new baby and the love of her life, producer Swiss Beatz. She says that although they've known each other since they were teenagers, they didn't get together until after he separated from his ex-wife, Mashonda. Oh and the baby overseas? It happened a few months before her.

I believe in doing things in the right order. I also believe in love and think that when it ...

PAULA ON EX FACTOR

We've been talking about it for months but no really knew rather it was going to happen or not. Now it's official. Paula Abdul will be a judge for The Ex Factor in this Fall. She will be rejoining her former co-judge on American Idol, Simon Cowell. Word is that he forced Fox's hand in closing the deal with her, threatening to walk if she wasn't signed on as a judge.

Well, what can I say? It's nice to have friends in high places.

THE WAY THEY WERE

This is truly a union I thought would last forever (or at least until one of them kicked the bucket) but I guess forever was too long for Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger. The couple has been married for 25 years but unnamed "sources" claim that Maria has been unhappy for awhile, mostly because of his infidelities and ego.

There are two ways to look at this. On one hand, you could say that they've been together so long that they might as well stay married. I mean, the grass could...

HOUSTON, WE STILL HAVE A PROBLEM

Last week, I talked about Whitney Houston's daughter, Bobbi Christina and her involvement in a little shootout. A couple days later, news broke that Whitney is in an outpatient treatment program with her ongoing battle with alcohol and drugs.

I would love to see her hook up with Dr. Drew. It probably shouldn't be televised but I think it would be beneficial to her in finding someone she can talk to and work out some of her issues with drugs. I know drugs are hard to kick but Whitney's...

JUMPING THE BROOM

BOBBI KRISTINA SHOOT OUT

When I was 18 years old, I was headed to college on a full scholarship. I guess school is the last thing on Bobbi Kristina Brown's mind right now. A few days ago, she was cited for underage drinking. She and her adopted brother were involved in an altercation with her ex-boyfriend, Max Lamas. The incident ended with guns drawn and police intervention. It was then that the police gave Brown a breathalyzer test and found her blood alcohol level at almost 2 1/2 times the legal limit. There...

HINES ARRESTED

I'm sure it sucks to be arrested when your a big time NFL player and one of the front runners on Dancing With the Stars. According to TMZ.com, Steeler Hines Ward was handcuffed at gunpoint earlier this week because he was riding in a car that had been reported stolen. Unfortunately, the owner (the person driving the car at the time of Hines' arrest) had forgotten to notify the police when she'd found her car.

Thank God Hines wasn't hurt or anything. The law is a trip. Gotta take care of...
