"N" Search of Ecstasy

R. Kelly, born Robert Kelly,was arrested in Florida after an investigation of a videotape recorded between November 1997 and February, allegedly showed Kelly having sex with an under aged girl.


Kelly was acquitted of all charges Friday after less than a day of deliberations in his child pornography trial, ending a six-year ordeal for the R&B superstar.

Kelly dabbed his face with a handkerchief and hugged each of his four attorneys after the verdict — not guilty on all 14 counts — was read. The Grammy award-winning singer had faced 15 years in prison if convicted.

Minutes later, surrounded by bodyguards, he left the courthouse without comment. Dozens of fans screamed and cheered as he climbed into a waiting SUV.

"All I heard (from Kelly) while those 14 verdicts were being read was 'Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus,'" said Sam Adam Jr., one of his attorneys.

Prosecutors had argued that a video tape mailed to the Chicago Sun-Times in 2002 showed Kelly engaged in graphic sex acts with a girl as young as 13 at the time. Both Kelly, 41, and the now 23-year-old alleged victim had denied they were the ones on the tape. Neither testified during the trial.

--THE ALLEGED VICTIM, now 23, never appeared in court but was a main subject of testimony. Pictures of the one-time Christian pop-group singer when she was about 13 showed a smiling, cherub-faced girl. At around that age, she began describing Kelly as her "godfather," witnesses said. Kelly frequently gave her cash gifts, a childhood friend testified. Another prosecution witness claimed she had three-way sex with Kelly and the alleged victim. No one questions Kelly and the alleged victim knew each other. But both said it's not them on a sex tape at the center of the case.


"Robert said all along that he believed in our system and he believed in God — and that when all the facts came out in court, he would be cleared of these terrible charges," according to a statement from his publicist, Allen Mayer. "But he never dreamed it would take six and a half years. This has been a terrible ordeal for him and his family and at this point all he wants to do is move forward and put it behind him."

Side Note: When I first heard about this divorce filing I have to admit I just knew it was going to be because of Shaq cheating, but much to my surprise its the wifey who is being accused of cheating. Hmmmmm....




Shaq has filed for divorce from his wife of five years Shaunie on Tuesday.

NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal has filed for divorce from is wife Shaunie on Tuesday in Miami court. The couple have been married since 2002 and have four children together. Shaq also has a daughter from a previous relationship and Shaunie O'Neal has a son.








The grounds for the divorce - the marriage is "irretrievably broken", as noted in the court documents. Shaquille and Shaunie O'Neal have a prenuptial agreement, but Shaq has asked the court to order Shaunie to give a correct accounting of all her money that she came with into the marriage, accusing his wife of secrecy about her finances. The divorce papers filed by Shaq recommend that Shaunie O'Neal is made the primary custodian of their children, while liberal rights of visitation are given to Shaquille.





A website called MediaTakeOut claims that the reason for the divorce is cheating. According to the site quoting unnamed insider close to Shaq, Shaunie O'Neal has been cheating on the basketball star with her personal trainer. As the divorce proceedings heat up, more rumors are expected to surface about the reason Shaquille and Shaunie O'Neal are calling it quits.

The O'Neals have four children together -- Me'Arah, 1; Shaqir, 4; Amirah, 5; and Shareef, 7. Each also has a child from a previous relationship.

WTF?!?!? How many times must we go through this people! Have we not learned any thing from Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, etc. I mean really.

Part of me is starting to believe that these stars are getting a kick out of the constant media attention surrounding their “bad girl” status. Every time I turn around, there is another star being arrested for a DUI.

I mean sure it happens every day in life, but the average person is not going to have their mug shot smeared all over television. Have they no shame? Do they feel no embarrassment?

Are they do this for the publicity or because they don’t care? What’s gives with all of the celebrity arrests?

AND, to top this all off, many young girls really look up to young stars like Paris, who is famous for nothing, and Lindsay – neither of which can serve as a good role model on any level!

Just plain ole sad...





Lindsay Lohan, seen here in a booking mug released by the Santa Monica police department on Tuesday, July 24, 2007, was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving early Tuesday, authorities said.


Intro to the News Article

SANTA MONICA, Calif - Lindsay Lohan, who just finished a second stint in rehab for substance abuse treatment, was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving and possession of cocaine early Tuesday, authorities said.

Lohan, who is already facing a drunken driving charge in Beverly Hills, was stopped near the Santa Monica Police Department after authorities were called about a car chasing another vehicle, said Sgt. Shane Talbot.

Read the full story here!




This is a photo of Lohan in happier, more sober times. I still remember the sweet little Lindsay that used to star in disney style movies and look at her now, in the photo above poses for a mugshot. Will this be the last or just one of many?

My advice would be to stop wasting all of the money on rehab because it quite apparent that it is not working okay!

This morning I heard that the courts awarded the America’s Got Talent judge David Hasselhoff FULL custody of his 2 daughters yesterday.

The mom apparently only got visitation rights. My question is after all of David's trouble with alcohol has been more than publicly displayed and he still got sole custody of the kids, what on earth does THAT say about the mother!?!?!?! I will say that I heard that mom was asked to take a drug test and she refused. Chyle I dont know what to say about these people!

Momz usually get the positive nod when it comes to court battles (even though its not SUPPOSED to be this way). That certainly wasnt the case in this battle!

Even after this infamous video!

Meanwhile, Alec Baldwin cant come ANYWHERE near his daughter. Back in April 2007, Baldwin temporarily lost his visitation rights to his daughter when Basinger's lawyers played an angry recording of him branding Ireland a rude, thoughtless little pig for missing a scheduled phone call. There is still no word as to actually leaked the recorded message in the first place but I think we can all draw our own conclusions on that one.

What gives? Which one do you think is worse?
