Well, they do say the easiest way to get over a man is to get under another… Mariah Carey Asks Nas To Find Her A Date Mariah has hinted toward Nick’s cheating habits, and her soon-to-be-ex has already been spotted out in the streets giggling-it-up with a new Blonde Becky-Boo …maybe it’s time for MiMi to bounce back and emancipate her lady business with a new man? Via MailOnline : She separated from Nick Cannon, her husband of six years, in August. Now Mariah Carey has asked her longtime pal Nas to help find her a new man, according to Us Weekly on Wednesday. An insider told the publication the 44-year-old ‘texted Nas, wondering if he had any friends she could go out with — or even just hook up with. But Nas is nervous to introduce her to anyone.’ Mariah is a longtime friend of the 41-year-old rapper, whose real name is Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones. The pair collaborated on the song Dedicated on her new album Me. I Am Mariah…The Elusive Chanteuse. They are so close that last year it was rumored that she and the Nasty star were having an affair, something Nick laughed off in an interview with Howard Stern in April. The America’s Got Talent host told the shock jock: ‘Nas is a friend of mine, he’s a friend of hers. She went to his birthday party, and I think it was in L.A. ‘We actually talked about this before. It’d be very difficult to make me jealous.’ Hmm…wonder how jealous he’s getting now? Which of Nas’ buds do you think he’ll link her up with once he shakes his nerves about the situation??
Last month, Yaya DaCosta was cast as Whitney Houston in a forthcoming made-for-TV movie about the late singer’s tragic life. Today, we have our first glimpse of DaCosta in character, and the 31-year-old actress bears an almost uncanny to a young Whitney: DaCosta is mimicking the cover of Houston’s 1987 album “Whitney” and if this sort of attention to detail is maintained throughout the film, actress Angela Bassett’s directorial debut should provide us with a spot-on depiction of Houston’s troubled life and times. For her part, DaCosta got her start as a contestant on America’s Next Top Model and went on to land recurring roles on series such as All My Children, Ugly Betty, and House. Most recently, she appeared on the big screen in Lee Daniels’ The Butler. She’ll be joined in the Houston biopic by Arlen Escarpeta as Bobby Brown and and Yolanda Ross as Houston’s longtime friend Robyn Crawford. The film – titled simply, Whitney Houston – will focus on the tumultuous partnership between Houston and Brown and the height of Whitney’s success as a singer in the late ’80s and early ’90s. No release date has been announced yet, but the movie is expected to debut on Lifetime in early 2015.
Rick Majerus, who worked one basketball miracle by taking Utah to the NCAA championship game in 1998, and then came to St. Louis University to try to work another miracle, died in a Los Angeles hospital Saturday of heart failure. He was 64. The jovial, basketball-obsessed coach who led Utah to the 1998 NCAA final and had only one losing season in 25 years with four schools, died Saturday. Utah industrialist Jon Huntsman, the coach#39;s longtime friend, confirmed in a statement released through
The “is Kate Middleton pregnant” rumor mill continues to be set ablaze this month, with a new report saying she hopes to make THE ANNOUNCEMENT around Christmas! According to Us Weekly , a source close to the royal couple says, “They’re excited at the prospect of becoming parents,” and confirms they’re “working on it.” Not sure what this celebrity gossip mole means by that. Next time draw us a picture! “In a dream situation, they would love to be a step closer at Christmas,” the source adds. “They have been on such a high since getting married.” Basically, Prince William has been seeing plenty of Kate Middleton topless and bottomless , and hopes the fruits of his labor will mean an heir in 2013. And heir and a spare down the line, if they have their way and nature cooperates. Just like Will, Kate wants two children, according to a longtime friend of hers, and their home in Kensington is undergoing a seven-figure renovation. Hmm! Whether it’s a boy or a girl, he/she will be the heir(ess) to the throne behind Princes Charles and William, thanks to the recent change in succession rules. The alleged insider then adds that if in fact she is pregnant, she will not make an announcement until after her first trimester … well after Christmas. Unless she’s already 7-8 weeks along and her baby bump is on the verge of showing. In any case, let the speculation and over-analysis of Kate Middleton photos continue!
John McAfee, the inventor of antivirus programs who sold his software to Intel in 2010 for $7 billion, is the prime suspect in the murder of an American expatriate named Gregory Faull. Police in Belize tell Gizmodo.com that Faull was shot dead on Saturday at his home in San Pedro Town. He was found lying “in a pool of blood” by his house keeper and there was no sign of forced entry. Details are still coming in, but sources there had been a history of contention between McAfee and Faull, with the latter recently filing a formal complaint with the local Mayor’s office that cited McAfee’s “roguish behavior.” San Pedro police have not established a motive beyond these arguments, but they make it clear in a statement that McAfee is “on the run from murder charges.” The software guru has been residing in Belize for several years.
It’s never too early to start thinking about the 2016 election. Okay, maybe it is, but those who have like the prospects of Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush. Yes, a Clinton-Bush White House race. Can you imagine? By 2016, eight years after Barack Obama succeeded George W. Bush and outlasted Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary, both political dynasties could rise again. The mere candidacy, let alone nomination and victory, of one or the other is no sure thing, but Clinton and Jeb Bush will loom large over their respective parties. Clinton, in particular, became her party’s leading contender in the 2016 nomination process starting the instant President Obama won reelection Tuesday. After barely falling short in 2008 and earning high marks and soaring approval ratings in four years as U.S. Secretary of State, she’d be the front-runner, hands down. Clinton is 65, however, and it is an open question as to whether she still covets the presidency and return to the political spotlight a campaign would entail. Jeb Bush, 59, most likely wouldn’t clear the room of potential competitors like Hillary, but remains one of the most talked-about GOP names for 2016. His two-term governorship of Florida, political gravitas, fundraising capability and appeal to Hispanics makes him a very formidable Republican, indeed. Bush’s wife, Columba, is of Mexican descent; their eldest son George P. Bush recently filed papers to run for office in his home state of Texas. Jeb Bush was mentioned – even encouraged by some to run- as a candidate for the 2012 GOP nomination; on a roster of 2016 contenders, he’d be top-tier. Who would you like to see run in the 2016 election?
A series of bombshell reports about Joe Simpson’s secret relationships with men have had severe effects on his estranged wife Tina’s state of mind. “She’s gone completely crazy,” a longtime friend of Tina Simpson says. Tina and Joe, the parents of Ashlee and Jessica Simpson, split this fall after 34 years of marriage. Rumors of his gay dalliances with young men soon followed. The insider said Tina has asked Joe to admit his alleged sexual relationships with Bryce Chandler Hill and Joey Anderson , but he has not done so. “It’s like when someone is lying to you and you can’t catch them in the act. It’s making her crazy,” the source said. “She’s been screaming at Joe.” “Basically he takes it, denies it, and it’s making Tina worse. She wants to know the whole truth. She is losing it thinking she’s been living a lie.” “She’s been hearing the rumors about Joe for a long time now. She’s living with Jessica, because the situation with Joe became unbearable.” “Jessica and Ashlee are grown, and Tina is alone and has to start a new life.” Several reports have stated that the former minister is involved with men, but if Joe Simpson is gay , he’s keeping things pretty close to the vest for now. “It is an amicable split and there is no third party involved. Any other related allegations are completely false,” a statement from the family rep said. Same-sex trysts or not, the couple clearly drifted far apart. “They have been living separate lives for a long time,” says a family friend. “It’s making Tina sick with worry to think who’s going to be coming out with stories.” Tina reportedly fears that more rumors will surface in the coming months, and that Joe was with a male passenger during his August DUI arrest.

The original theatrical Snow White and the Huntsman trailer focused primarily on Charlize Theron’s evil queen. This latest version mostly follows suit, but also gives us our first glimpse at Chris Hemsworth as the titular huntsman. Kristen Stewart’s Snow White? Still not heard from. The queen’s quest to extinguish the bright light that is Snow White is the general premise of the film, which is the polar opposite of a feel-good, Disney-esque fairy tale. Perhaps that plays a role in keeping Stewart’s character shrouded in mystery so far. In any case, we can’t wait for June 1, especially after seeing this latest teaser: Snow White and the Huntsman Trailer #2
