In case you ever wondered exactly what they are all doing now, here is a bit from a New York Post article that pretty much states that the Jacksons are a bunch of broke asses:

Marlon Jackson, 51, an original Jackson Five member who stocks shelves at a Vons supermarket in San Diego, had to temporarily move into an extended-stay hotel.

Randy, 46, does odd jobs, including fixing cars in a Los Angeles garage owned by a family friend. He recently claimed Michael was going to give him $1.7 million – “a pipe dream,” said another brother last week.

Jackie, 56, the oldest and most debonair of the brothers, is struggling to manage his son Siggy’s aspiring rap career after an Internet clothing business startup and attempts to produce music failed.

Jermaine, 54, shuttles back and forth from his girlfriend’s home in Ventura County, Calif., to his parents’ mansion in Encino, where Jackie and Randy still bunk.

Tito, 55, is the only brother still making music, but it’s a meager living. The guitarist fronts a blues and jazz band that plays small venues and nets him $500 and $1,500 per occasional gig – a far cry from the days when the Jacksons could pull in 50,000 people at $30 a ticket. Continue »

Mike Epps is allegedly the father of a 3 month-old baby that is not his wife’s:

The married actor is being named as the baby daddy to a Georgia woman who gave birth in December 2007. Randy Kessler, the woman’s lawyer, says Epps has refused to submit to a paternity test or provide any support for the child, saying, “We are not asking for the moon, we are just asking him to take a paternity test. Once the tests are completed and paternity is confirmed, hopefully, Mr. Epps will do the right thing and begin to provide for his child.”

Kessler says he and his client initially wanted to work things out privately, but those efforts have been ignored by Epps and his camp. The paternity suit was filed in early February, and since then, Kessler says he has sent five letters and made a number of phone calls to Epps’ lawyers — and all he got back was silence. Calls to Mike Epps’ rep have not been returned.

Well, it is not uncommon for these dudes to knock up side deals, but at least be a man and live up to it. If this is true, hopefully Mike will come around and take care of the baby.

A 12 year old boy was arrested for throwing a rock through the windshield of Soulja Boy’s tour bus recently. When asked why he did it, he replied: “I hate Soulja Boy”

Damn, you know your sh*t is wack when preteens want to roll on you. Hey Soulja Boy, you may want to beef up your security detail.

A man who was arrested for stalking Tyra Banks was released just 24 hrs. after he was taken in:

Brady Green, 37, has allegedly been hounding Banks for months, sending her letters and leaving her phone messages since early January. The Dublin, Georgia, native then began sending the talkshow beauty flowers and last Tuesday turned up at the N.Y. TV studio where she films The Tyra Banks Show asking to speak to the star in person. Authorities were alerted to Green’s unwanted presence and found him carrying a large bag packed full of magazine cuttings and notes about Banks. He was removed from the premises, but later returned and waited for Banks to emerge from a fast food restaurant across the street. Continue »

Common says that his one time pastor, Reverend Jeremiah Wright (Obama’s current pastor) is just keeping it real:

“He never really was against white people or another race. It was more against an establishment that was oppressing people. I think we all can see that this country has problems and a lot of it starts in the political system,” ….. “What I picked up from being in the pews … was messages of love. Anything that was going against that love he would acknowledge and expose.”

Little D’Lila Star and Jesse James made their TV debut hitting up the Making the Band Season Finale with Daddy Diddy. It seems like Kim Porter might have put them on that baby Slim Fast, since they don’t looks as chunky as they did before and are losing a bit smidgen of their baby pudge.

Happy Easter!

The body of 31-year-old Jason Rae was found around 3:15 PM Saturday, a victim of an apparent drug overdose. Cops reportedly arrested a 32-year-old man for “supplying controlled substances.” He was then released on bail. No word on if his wife was at home.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to his and her family. R.I.P.

Eve was involved in an altercation recently:

When some young women started giving her a rough time last Thursday outside the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, spies say, “It got physical . . . one of the girls Eve was yelling at was pushed down a flight of stairs either by Eve or one of her posse, but they calmed her down and cops weren’t called.” A rep for Eve didn’t return calls.

Damn, Eve pushing b*tches down stairs? We guess she hasn’t gone completely Hollyweird yet, she still got a little street in her.
