In a recent open letter to his fans, Tyler Perry confessed that he has a stalker:

‘I’m trying to be careful how I say this without inciting this person, but I have a stalker,’ he begins. ‘This person sends several hundred emails a day to my office and has planned our wedding and bought rings and such. She has showed up at my house several times. What’s crazy is I’ve never met this woman nor have I even responded to her emails. I’ve had to increase the guards at my house as well as travel with body guards and I hate that. I hate to have big guys following me around.’

This is a big dude himself, and he’s got body guards following him around? This b*tch really must’ve scared the living sh*t out of him. Sounds like Tyler needs to get a little Madea on that crazy heffah. SMH.

Check out Tyler’s softer side below.

Snoop’s ass is still banned from the UK, now he’s making a plea to the Princes:

He says, ‘I’m not an aggressive individual at all and I’ve been wrongfully accused. I’ve not done anything to the people of Britain. I’ve never got into trouble, never violated them, never disrespected them, and I’ve always shown them love and turned up. What did I do? Who did I offend? You should talk to the Princes – William and Harry – I bet they want me over there!’”

He needs to cease and desist pronto. He’s practically begging – yuck.

And don’t ask why, but we thought ole Snoop was a little brighter than that. William and Harry don’t have any real power. He might as well be whistling in the dark.

Some a-holes thought it was a good idea to let an 18 month-old baby partake in smoking weed:

A videotape found on a camcorder that was sold to a pawn shop shows a toddler being forced to smoke marijuana, police said. At first, it appeared a male was smoking marijuana through a pipe and the little girl was playing nearby. Then the male, whom police said was 18-year-old Melvin Blevins, was seen passing the pipe to the child. The tape shows the 18-month-old little girl resisting before the video cuts to black. Next, a 16-year-old girl is shown holding the little girl. The male then places the pipe in front of the child’s mouth. Police believed the videotaped child to be the man’s niece. The girl is charged with child endangerment and corrupting another with drugs. Blevins is in custody facing the federal charge of distributing narcotics to a person younger than 21. The child is now 2 years old.

That’s ri-goddamn-diculous. SMH.

Wayne Brady is officially divorced:

The 35-year-old comedian has been living separately from his wife, Mandie, for four years, but the couple’s divorce was just finalized this week. According to papers filed Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court, the pair married in April 1999 and officially separated in April 2006, citing irreconcilable differences. They have one daughter, 5-year-old Maile Brady.

”Mandie is my best friend. We still love each other and we are raising our beautiful daughter Maile together as a team,” Brady said in a statement issued by his publicist.

The couple used a mediator to arrive at a final divorce settlement. Details about their child custody, child support and property-division arrangements were not made public.

They kill us with that so and so is my best friend BS. If ya’ll were such great friends than why didn’t this ish work out? He knows he probably can’t stand her ass.

Common describes his ideal woman:

“‘I’m attracted to women that are strong in the sense of who they are. I like women who have power to them, but can still be ladylike and that have their own dreams.”

Yes, we know all about that. We have just one question though. If the two decided to get hitched, who’s carrying whom over the threshold?

Bobby laid it out in his new book. Now Ray-J responds to Bobby’s statements and how he was referred to as “little man”:

“’I think what Bobby’s saying in his book is just ridiculous. He should really go back in and pray and figure out what he should do on the positive tip. I don’t kiss and tell, I don’t exploit other people’s business and I don’t think it’s cool that Bobby’s doing that!’” Plus, Ray J says, “’We’re the same height, Bobby, come on!’”

SMH. Whitney used to be an World Class star. Now she’s a recovering addict who deals with mark-ass busters such as these. But it just goes to show that anything is possible. On that note, Ray-J is on some “pot calling the kettle” sh*t about kissing and telling.

Akon got caught lying to boost his “street cred”:

“In past interviews, the singer has made it clear that he headed ‘a notorious car theft operation’ that specialized in boosting Porsches, Lamborghinis, and Mercedes, owned four chop shops catering to ‘celebrities and drug dealers,’ and had frequent run-ins with the police.

TSG, however, reports the real story behind his allegedly crimes and prison story. In September 1998, Akon was charged with handgun possession and receiving stolen property. He posted $3,500 bond and was free.”

Basically Akon was caught driving a stolen vehicle, but wasn’t charged with grand theft auto. A Federal Agent lays it out:

“‘Ah, this is bullsh**,’ he [said]. ‘This guy is so phony. He’s an arrogant SOB… I don’t think he had any role besides [wanting] to drive a high-dollar vehicle. And I say this because we didn’t link him to any other cars.’”

This simple-ass individual lied about jail time and thought he wasn’t going to be found out? These things always come to the surface eventually.

Kimora recently admitted that she can’t wait to get knocked up again:

Model-turned-designer Kimora Lee Simmons is planning to start a family with partner Djimon Hounsou, and she wants to get pregnant as soon as possible. Just weeks after shooting down claims she is already expecting her first child with the actor, Simmons insists she is now ready to add to her family – she has two children with ex-husband Russell Simmons.

The fashion mogul says, “I would be very proud to have a baby. So it will come soon. “I think about it all the time, and it’s something that’s a very exciting prospect for me.”

Now she gets to have as much raw Mandingo lovin’ as humanly possible. But let’s face it, she’s probably knocked up already. These Hollyweird types are so transparent.

Word is Alicia Keys is getting married:

“Alicia is planning on marrying her music producer beau Kerry ‘Krucial’ Brothers in NYC this summer. Star magazine is reporting that the couple is planning on tying the knot at the Oheka Castle on Long Island on July 4, 2008.”

As much as we’d like to believe that, we think it’s best to do a “wait and see” on that one.This is probably just some ploy from her publicist to take the heat off her from the backlash of that gangsta rap statement. Just a thought.

1982 Heisman Trophy winner and former NFL star Herschel Walker is insane, tried to kill himself and his ex-wife Cindy:

In Herschel Walker’s newly released book, Breaking Free, he reveals the struggles he had with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), also formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder, and how he coped with more than a dozen personalities that almost led him to take his own life. Cindy Grossman, Walker’s ex-wife, was married to the Georgia standout for 16 years before she even knew about Walker’s condition. Walker’s revelation of his disorder in his new book sheds some light on what went on in their marriage. She [said]:

‘Well, now it makes perfect sense, because each personality has a different interest. There was also a very sweet, lovable [personality]. That’s the one he told me I married. He told me I didn’t marry Herschel and the next thing I knew, he just kind of raged and he got a gun and put it to my temple.’

After 16 years of marriage, we’re supposed to believe that this chick didn’t know he had a whole gang of people living in his head? These wheffahs like to play dumb about sh*t when there’s stacks involved. I bet she knew his ass was violent and crazy from the jump.
