This is going to be VERY interesting!! Brandy has been added to the cast of Tyler Perry’s next movie, The Marriage Counselor! Brandy revealed the exciting news that she is working on The Marriage Counselor, which has already begun production in Atlanta. “First day on the set of Tyler Perry’s new movie “The Marriage Counselor”!!! God is sooooooo Good!!!” she tweeted. The Marriage Counselor will star Jurnee Smollett as a newlywed counselor, who has trouble following her own advice and staying faithful. According to Variety.com, Lance Gross will play her hubby and Robbie Jones will play her man on the side. Brandy has signed on to play Lance’s co-worker, while Vanessa Williams has been cast as Jurnee’s boss.

That’s All Folks!! Looks Like Lindsay Blo-Han May Actually Be Headed To The Whoscow For A “Vacation”

LiLo just can’t get right… According to TMZ reports : In a blistering hearing, Judge Stephanie Sautner revoked Lindsay Lohan’s probation, had her cuffed and set a hearing for November 2, when Lindsay could end up getting as much as a year-and-a-half in jail. Judge Sautner said Lindsay Lohan was completely responsible for being thrown out of the Downtown Women’s Center, where the judge told her she must complete probation. The judge concluded Lindsay violated her probation, scoffing time after time, incredulously reading from the Probation Report — the section where Lindsay told the Probation officer she didn’t find the Women’s Center “fulfilling.” The word “fulfilling” REALLY set Judge Sautner off! She was clearly disturbed and confused at the fact that LiLo thought that she should be BENEFITTING from her community service. TMZ broke the story … Lindsay got kicked out of the Women’s Center after being a no-show 9 times. The Judge also doubted Lindsay attended sessions with her shrink once a week, as the Judge required. The judge dismissed Shawn Holley’s argument that Lindsay had to go abroad to work — where she was seen partying on several occasions — and that’s why she missed a number of community service appointments, saying, “She’s supposed to be an actress, from what I hear.” Ouch! “…from what I hear”?? Sounds like the Judge isn’t too impressed with Linds and her “acting” Judge Sautner recalled all the screw ups Lindsay has had in her court cases, reminding Holley that “Probation is a Gift.” As we reported, Lindsay’s bail bondsman appeared in court and will be bailing her out shortly. The judge could barely contain her contempt for the Probation Dept., which gave Lindsay a glowing report. Judge Sautner said the Probation Dept. had no authority to send Lindsay to the Red Cross to do her community service and said Lindsay would not get credit for the time she served there. Although Judge Sautner noted that due to overcrowding in jails Lohan’s potential 18 month sentence could be reduced, as angry as she was in the video we wouldn’t be surprised if she threw the book at her anyway

Bossip Sports Exclusive: NBA Legend Dr. J And His Son Are Set To Relaunch The ABA!

Looks like the old school is going to make a big comeback! According to sports industry insiders Julius “Dr. J” Erving and his son Julius “J. Erv” Erving III, along with Ether Marketing owner Deon Taylor have acquired the rights to the American Basketball Association (ABA) in which Dr. J won 3 championships and four MVP awards while a member of the Virgina Squires. The Dr. and his music executive son own a sports marketing firm call 6 Sports, will re-launch the defunct league (Julius Erving III) Sources say that the resurgence of the ABA will be akin to the feeling of “old school” basketball with a slightly updated style. Hard-nosed play, free-flowing offense, and a overall more exciting brand of basketball minus the antics of an And1 or Harlem Globetrotters type of game. In addition, we are told that there will be a push for celebrities to own the teams outright to help draw attention to league. Of the twelve teams scheduled to participate in Miami, Atlanta, New York, New Jersey, Toronto, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Baltimore, Los Angeles, etc, high-profile stars like Drake, Leonardo DiCaprio, Lady Gaga, and others could possibly be the head honchos of their own city’s team. With the impending NBA lockout next year this league could easily be the best brand of professional basketball around in 2012. Players from all realms of basketball from college, current NBA players, to blackballed NBA players like Allen Iverson or Stephon Marbury.From what we understand there already several networks scrambling to retain the TV rights to air the games once everything is in place. Neither Dr. J, Julius Erving III, nor Deon Taylor have commented on the newly acquired league.

Will You Be Watching??: Charlie Sheen To Be ‘Roasted’ On Comedy Central

This has the potential to be EPIC! Prepare yourself for another barrage of tiger blood and winning jokes — Comedy Central announced this morning that its newest roast target is none other than the bitchin’ rock star from Mars himself, Charlie Sheen. The ‘Comedy Central Roast of Charlie Sheen’ will air on September 19 — the same night as ‘Two and a Half Men’ premieres its first episode with Ashton Kutcher. Coincidence? “You could say I’ve been providing kindling for this Roast for a while,” Sheen said in a statement. “It’s time to light it up. It’s going to be epic.” The idea isn’t entirely out of left field, considering that Roastmaster General, Jeffrey Ross hopped onstage to burn Sheen during his ‘Violent Torpedo of Truth Tour’ earlier this year — saving audiences on the latter part of the cross-country tour from Sheen’s rambling, unfocused stories. Charlie is going to be one of the easiest roast targets EVER, but we’re gonna tune in to laugh nonetheless! Source

A “Lil Positivity” Shakira Makes It Rain Charitable Stacks On Haiti To The Tune Of $400,000

It’s good to see that people are still keeping Haiti’s needs on their mind. Colombian singer Shakira danced with students in Haiti on Thursday as she celebrated the renovation of a historic Catholic girls school damaged in the country’s devastating 2010 earthquake. With her song “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)” playing over loudspeakers, the Grammy-winning, hip-shaking pop star grooved with students from the Elie Dubois high school in downtown Port-au-Prince. Her Barefoot Foundation, which helps child victims of violence and disasters, and the Inter-American Development Bank each donated $400,000 to restore the high school. “I’m convinced that the key to a dignified future for Haiti is through education,” said Shakira, 34, wearing a black T-shirt and matching jeans. The nine-classroom, 250-student school was built in 1913, and was the first in Haiti to provide vocational training for girls, officials said. Construction is expected to begin in two months and will take up to 14 months to complete. Organizers have yet to put out bids. Said one student of the sexy Colombian’s charitable donation: “It’s so nice that we have a star coming and that she’s coming to help the school,” said Joselourdes Jean-Paul, a 19-year-old student. “With the new school, we’re going to learn more and learn better.” This is a beautiful gesture and we hope more people follow suit as Haiti has a long way to go before they full recover from the destruction they’ve suffered. However, if she really wants to make some big money she should ahv a fund-raising shake off live on TV with Bey Bey. Bet that’ll open those wallets. Source
