JACKSON FAMILY DRAMA

As most of you have heard, the Jackson family is going through it right now. After an upheaval at the Encino home where Katherine Jackson has cared for Michael Jackson’s 3 children, Paris, Prince and “Blanket,” she has agreed to split joint guardianship with Tito’s 34 year old son, TJ. According to TMZ, Katherine will remain in control of the $70,000 a month allowance for taking care of the children.

I’m happy to see that things are settling down. The situation had turned into a circus, espec...

FRANK OCEAN'S SEXUALITY CONFESSION

This past week, the country was abuzz with news that singer Frank Ocean admitted to falling in love with a man. His confession comes on the heels of Anderson Cooper saying that he's gay and Jamaican singer Diana King taking to Facebook to say the same. Ocean's first studio album, Channel Orange, is due out in a few weeks and many wonder if his sexuality will have any affect on his career.

I look at this two ways. On one hand, I think it's brave for Ocean to be honest about his experiences and...

ARSENIOOOOOOOOO HALL

Yep, I remember. I was a kid and couldn't stay up to watch The Arsenio Hall Show during the week because it was "past my bedtime." Back then, I would tape it if it was a show I really wanted to see. News spread this past week that Arsenio Hall will return to the late night show circuit with CBS in the Fall 2013.

I'm pretty excited about it. I loved his show as a kid and I can't wait see a little diversity in the late night line-up. Congrats and welcome back, Arsenio!

HOLLYWOOD EXES

VH1 is at it again with Hollywood Exes. This show is in the same vain as Basketball Wives, except the premise is that all of the women on the show were married to entertainers. The cast includes Sheree (Will Smith's ex-wife), Nicole (Eddie Murphy's ex-wife), Andrea (R. Kelly's ex-wife), Mayte (Prince's ex-wife) and Jessica (Jose Canseco's ex-wife).

I wish I could tell you that I won't be watching this show but if I told you that, I'd be lying. Don't judge me. I'm curious as to what these wome...

CHRIS AND DRAKE CLUB BRAWL

Ahh, to be young with money and nothing else better to do. Thursday night, Chris Brown and Drake were involved in a bottle throwing altercation at a night club. The two were in the same night club when their entourages began brawling. Crowds of people left the club; some with injuries. Chris tweeted a pic of his chin cut up. Allegedly, the fight started after Drake sent a note over to Chris saying that he was still sleeping with Rihanna.

This was so unnecessary. I hope they were not fighting o...

SHERRI SHEPHARD THREATENED ON TWITTER

The argument has been made many times over rather celebrities should be using Twitter. People may have another case against it with Sherri Shephard's run-in with @Daclonekiller. According to various reports, the Twitter user messaged Sherri saying that she should be dragged into an alley and raped. Sherri has decided to file charges with the police over the comment.

There are several advantages to the Internet but there are also just as many disadvantages. Unfortunately, this is one of them. P...

The pastor of the mega church World Changers Church International, Creflo Dollar, was arrested 1:00 am Friday morning for simple battery and cruelty to children.

An altercation ensued and the young girl called the police claiming that Dollar had choked, slapped and hit her with a shoe. Dollar was bonded Friday morning.

This is so ironic because...

NO UNSUNG FOR STEPHANIE MILLS

TVOne’s Unsung producers won’t have to worry about calling on one singer. According to Blackvoices, Stephanie Mills has no plans to be on the show. Unsung spotlights musical performers of yesterday who may not have gotten their full do for all they accomplished. It’s become quite popular—and interesting, hence it often tells the stories that many of us haven’t heard about our favorite singers and groups.

Mills says she doesn’t feel unsung and doesn’t want to open the door on her personal life....
