Well, they do say where there’s flame, there’s fire… Despite being seven years in and having shot down countless break up rumors, Marc Anthony is on his way to becoming J.Lo ex-husband number 3. “We have decided to end our marriage,” they tell PEOPLE exclusively in a joint statement. “This was a very difficult decision. We have come to an amicable conclusion on all matters.” “It is a painful time for all involved,” the statement continues, “and we appreciate the respect of our privacy at this time.” Lopez, 41, and Anthony, 42, wed in June 2004 in a casual – and secret – ceremony at Lopez’s Beverly Hills home. DAYUM! This might get super messy too: these two have a lot of shared business interests in addition to the regular crap married couples have to split when they split. Hope they had an airtight pre- or post-nup! Source
More details have emerged regarding Rodrick Dantzler, the main believed responsible for the mass murders of seven people in Grand Rapids last week. Among the dead are his wife, ex-girlfriend and relatives of both — but members of his family continue to defend him even after the horrific incident — which including the execution style killing of at least one victim. “These were no strangers – they were family members,” a cousin, Cannetha Collins of Muskegon, said Saturday. “He just couldn’t possibly be in the right mind. They were just at Michigan’s Adventure. This was not a family he hated.” Police have determined the .40-caliber handgun used in the killings was stolen from a home in Kent County, Hertel said. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives is looking into the history of the firearm. As an felon, Dantzler, who served a three-to-10-year sentence for felony assault, could not legally possess a gun. He also had previous convictions for domestic violence, property destruction and assault and battery. In an interview Saturday, Collins said her family is devastated, both by the losses and the thought that Dantzler is responsible. She felt a need to apologize, but said her family is overwhelmed by grief, too. His mother, Victoria Dantzler of Grand Rapids, is beyond distraught: she lost a granddaughter, a son and daughter-in-law. It was she who first called police Thursday saying Dantzler had told her he had killed his wife. A possible motive began to emerge Saturday when Dantzler’s Janes Avenue neighbors said his wife was planning to leave him this week or the next. They speculated it sparked the killings. Police say Dantzler shot and killed his wife, Jennifer Heeren, 29, their daughter, Kamrie, 12, and his wife’s parents, Thomas Heeren, 51, and Rebecca Hereen, 52, in the parents’ home at 1270 Brynell Court NE off Four Mile Road NW. Dantzler also killed a former girlfriend, Kimberlee Emkens, 23, her sister, Amanda Emkens, 27, and Marissa Emkens, 10, Amanda’s daughter, at the home of Patricia Emkens at 2046 Plainfield Ave. NE. “I do know we love Rodrick Shonte Dantzler – and he’s no monster,” Collins said. “I truly apologize to the families, and anyone else hurt. Shonte loved his family. “We still love him. Nobody in our family was afraid of him. He had a big and loving heart,” she said. “I do believe it was something to do with his mind.” Dantzler’s family believes his actions may have been caused in part by his failure to take the medication he had been prescribed to treat his bi-polar disorder — while police say he had been using alcohol and cocaine. SMH.That yayo is the devil. His cousin is real nice sticking up for him, but friends of his wife say their relationship was abusive and she had been trying to leave him for some time. Source
Damn Matty say it ain’t so! According to TMZ reports : Beyonce’s dad has filed legal papers which now explain why the singer fired him as her manager — he claims she’s under the impression he stole lots of money from her, and say it’s a bad rap. In the documents — obtained by TMZ — Mathew Knowles claims Live Nation Entertainment wanted desperately to sink its fangs into Beyonce’s 2011 world tour. According to the docs, Mathew claims Live Nation told Beyonce that Mathew “had stolen money from Beyonce on her most recent tour or otherwise taken funds that [he] was not entitled to.” Mathew claims Live Nation was effective, because Beyonce had her law firm conduct an audit, and the law firm concluded Mathew had indeed pilfered money from her. Beyonce then fired him. Mathew claims after he was canned, Beyonce hired a manager who had worked as a former exec at Live Nation and maintained a relationship with the company. Mathew insists the theft accusations by Live Nation are false, and he wants the judge to give him the right to take depositions of various people at Live Nation, to determine just how they concluded he was a thief. We could not reach Beyonce’s rep for comment. Say cuz, if you needed a couple dollas all you had to do was ask her. Stealing from your own daughter is some ol’ crack fiend type behavior, are you a crack fiend Matty??
How many of you can say that you have a great ex? Most of the time when we speak of an ex, it’s usually in a not so positive light. From our facial expressions to our overall mood shift, the mentioning of their name can change our attitude from good to bad instantly. But sometimes this average EX-pectation is not the case. It’s possible that an ex can be the best you’ve ever had. ( Continue reading… )
Oh boy… Word around Atlanta is that after all these months of standing by her trifling, scandalous husband , the first lady of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church has quietly taken herself out of the picture. Well-placed spies for The Mo’Kelly Report and long-time members of New Birth are alleging that Vanessa Long, the First Lady of New Birth has moved out of the house, in fact taking one of the children with her due to the scandal. These are WELL-placed and trustworthy sources. Mo’Kelly has already reached out to New Birth to see if it has any official response or counter narrative. Don’t hold your breath if you expect New Birth to tell the truth and acknowledge any family disarray. The rumors of Mrs. Long’s move have been floating around since early last week, and the fact that no official statement or well crafted photo has appeared probably means something. Does anyone still think the good pastor is innocent? Source
All good things must come to an end if a relationship is no longer salvageable between a man and woman. But what if one was responsible for its demise? After your ex dumps you for another woman (or man), you’re literally on the cusp of doing things you never thought you would do. Protecting your own sanity is a better judgment call than dreading over a relationship that was never meant to be in the first place. If they’re at fault for what occurred, here’s how to seek revenge on your ex-significant other …
This former model turned Hollyweird leading lady just sold this beach front “weekend home” in Cali, which she shared with her ex-boyfriend for seven years. Can you guess whose house this used to be? This was Charlize Theron’s home with Stuart Townsend until they broke up last year after ten years… probably because he finally accepted that he would never be as rich, famous, or pretty as her. The two-story, 2100 sq. ft. Malibu home was originally listed in December for $7.5 million. They have now settled on the selling price of $6.562 million, which is still $3 million more than what Charlize and Stuart paid for the house back in ’03. That’s gotta take the sting off the break-up, right? Flip through for more pics of this “cozy” retreat.
Contrary to earlier reports, BOSSIP has confirmed that Bow Wow and his ex Miss Joie did not become the parents of a bouncing baby girl this morning. Various media sources reported today that Joie was rushed to the hospital this morning where the former couple’s baby was delivered via emergency c-section. Those reports were only partially correct. A source close to Bow Wow tells BOSSIP that while Joie did go to the hospital this morning, she was released after being observed by her doctors for a couple of hours and is currently resting comfortably at home. Bow Wow on the other hand is currently in Miami and planning to attend this evening’s NBA Finals game between the Heat and the Dallas Mavericks. Back in February , Joie confirmed months of speculation by posting the picture of her growing baby bump above with the caption “Counting down the days
Wow this sounds “interesting”: Comedian, TV host…man-eater? A source tells the new issue of Us Weekly (on stands now) that Chelsea Handler dumped 50 Cent just before the holidays, leaving the 35-year-old rapper “heartbroken.” Determined to win her back, 50 Cent — who was first spotted canoodling with the Chelsea Lately host in October — “spent Christmas sending her gifts, but she sent them back. She put a note on one that said, ‘I can buy my own gifts.’” Though both Handler, 35, and 50 Cent recently attended the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, a reconciliation was the last thing on the Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang author’s mind. According to an eyewitness, Handler had already set her sights on Uma Thurman’s ex, hotelier Andre Balazs, 54. “They snuck kisses” at Bing Bar on January 22, the source says of the two. Handler and Balazs were later spotted partying at Tao before leaving together at 2:30 a.m. “Chelsea and Andre are dating,” a Handler pal confirms to Us. “He’s exactly her type.” SMH at Bugsy always falling for the “manly” broads.
