Her parents may still be divided over her guilt , but no one disputes that whatever happened in 2008, this is one seriously messed up individual. Casey Anthony’s attorney, Jose Baez, said she would seek psychological treatment as soon as she was a free woman. Looks like that was doubly true. Sources close to Anthony says that the acquitted murder suspect has been seeing a grief counselor and will soon see a female psychiatrist to boot. “She needs serious help,” says the source . “We’ll see what this will do.” Casey Anthony needs more than counseling. But it can’t hurt. Anthony has been traveling extensively since her acquittal, likely in an attempt to keep her whereabouts a mystery amid serious death threats. She is now back in Florida while she serves a one-year probation on a check fraud case. Baez said that Anthony needed treatment for the trauma of losing her child and her subsequent incarceration for the better part of three years. Yesterday, she was ordered to pay nearly $100,000 for misleading law enforcement officials in their efforts to locate missing daughter Caylee.
Chaka Khan јυѕt won temporary custody οf hеr 10-year-οld granddaughter bесаυѕе thе child’s parents аrе drug addicts says TMZ . The “I’m Every Woman” singer filed a petition for appointment of guardianship last week ,claiming she has already “assumed on a day-to-day basis the role of the child’s parent fulfilling both the child’s physical and psychological needs for care and affection.” Chaka claims the child’s mother who lives in the same house is incapable of caring for the girl because of a “heavy involvement in drugs.” Chaka’s sister Tammy McCrary who was also awarded custody,filed an additional statement in the petition, claiming Chaka’s son “also uses and abuses drugs and other illegal substances.” The judge temporarily granted the petition for custody on September 6th … and extended it today. A hearing is set for October to make it permanent. We’re glad Chaka cleaned her up her act so she could help her granddaughter.

In a small office at the EMI building in NYC after being served sushi, dumplings and Sake, bloggers, press and media gathered to listen to Tyrese’s fifth album Open Invitation . The room, adorned with red candles centered on a black piano, gave off an intimate vibe. We huddled in close, some sitting on the floor and some lucky souls in chairs. Tyrese greeted us very personally asking that we do not record the music he was going to play for us, informing us that he had an incident the night before. With a half-empty glass in his possession, he introduced what he called “my proudest work to date.” We listened attentively as he filled us in on his journey back to music! “My mentor said something to me, back when I decided to give music a quick break, he said ‘If you want to make God laugh tell him your plan’.” Tyrese struck Box Office success with the “Transformers” series, “Fast & Furious” franchise and “Legion.” Though very profitable, music was calling Tyrese’s heart. “A revelation came to me, you got four weeks of nothing to do- which never happens. I got a hold of about 14 people, singers, songwriters and producers and I flew them in town. All brand new unestablished producers that I had never worked with specifically but I had worked with indirectly. I was like these are on the folks that are on the list that God sent me, they were all sleeping at my house. We banged out my whole album in four weeks. I had five different production stations set up throughout my house, it became like the old Motown, I called it R&B boot-camp” Tyrese has strayed from the love ballad/baby-making music maven we have come to love. He attributes his new musical focus on “Benjamin Button syndrome.” The new album is more upbeat and better fit for a cool night out on the town rather than the bedroom–which is exactly what he was going for. “If you listen to songs like “Lately,” I’m 32 now I can sing a song like that now, because I actually do know about love Ive been madly in love before. I have a child but when your 20 years old singing ‘Have I told you I love you?’ it’s a very mature adult contemporary. When I had “Lately” out, Usher had “You Make Me Wanna.” He’s actually doing music his age. He’s in the video dancing, I’m [in the “Lately” video] in all white on the piano making out on some extra grown man sh*t. As soon as I leave the video[set] I’m like ‘man I don’t want to do this sh*t.’ Now that I’ve gotten older I know what I want to look like. I know what type of songs I want to sing. I know what type of songs that move me! My favorite of the tracks played was “I’m Home.” The hard-hitting but mid-tempo beat was the sexiest of the bunch . “ One Night” was very reminiscent of Trey Songz “Invented Sex,” which isn’t a bad thing! “Best In Me” was also a favorite, followed by his first single “I Got A Chick “ featuring Rick Ross and R.Kelly. His current single “Stay” follows the typical R&B rules but because of Tyrese’s strong vocals, is elevated to another level. Though I loved a few songs (so far) on “Open Invitation,” being the R&B fiend I am, I was hoping for another “Lately” or “How You Gonna Act Like That.” Open Invitation doesn’t deliver that but does offer a more modern Tyrese with less the love.

Radar Online is reporting Jay-Z is not about to become a father for the first time, it turns out, as the Girls Girls Girls singer has a secret son with a Trinidadian model, according to the father of the man originally identified as the love child’s father, who sat down for an exclusive interview with this week’s edition of Star. The world gasped last month when the Big Pimpin’ singer’s wife, Beyonce Knowles , showed off her baby bump at the MTV Video Music Awards, but Andrews exclusively told Star the Empire State Of Mind rapper gave Trinidadian model Shenelle Scott a baby bump some nine years before. Andrews, the father of Shenelle’s ex-boyfriend Malik Sayeed , told Star exclusively that “at the time [he] was born, my son Malik thought he was his child, but they did DNA tests. It’s been determined that [the child is] Jay-Z’s baby.” A source told Star that while Beyonce was initially livid about the secret son, she’s stood by her husband. The boy closely resembles the 99 Problems singer, who’s reportedly paying Shenelle child support. Malik, whose name was originally listed on the boy’s birth certificate, came to find out about the child’s real paternity, a source told Star. “Malik threw [Shenelle] a baby shower and bought all this stuff to prepare for the arrival,” the source said. “However, after the baby was born, friends and family told him he needed to get a DNA test. “Everyone knew she was sleeping around and sleeping with Jay,” the source said. “There was a good chance it was his.” Andrews filled in Star on the rest of the details. “Maybe two weeks later, he called me and said, ‘Daddy, I got some bad news. [He’s] not my son,’” Andrews told Star. “I said, ‘How do you know, Malik?’ He said, ‘He doesn’t look anything like me!’” After undergoing a DNA test that showed Jay-Z is the father, Malik kicked Shenelle out of his house, while Jay-Z made arrangements for mother and son to go back to Trinidad, where they now live comfortably on the rapper’s dime. “Shenelle told me that Jay-Z gave her $1 million to keep her mouth shut,” Jerald tells Star. “My understanding is that he’s paying her child support. “Shenelle took the money and bought herself a really nice house in Trinidad that the whole family lives in now.” Jerald told Star that Shenelle has told him her current relationship with the rapper “is amicable. “She says he’s a good father and he has a lot of interest in [the boy],” he told Star. “It was a big old mess at one time, but I think once they resolved the issue of fatherhood, of paternity, I think things started to level off.” For more, check out the new edition of Star — on newsstands now.
Chaz Bono stopped by the Ellen DeGeneres Show today to chat about competing on the new season of Dancing With the Stars, and the hurdles he’s faced. While he knew that, as the show’s first transgendered star, some people would have a problem with him, he never expected the backlash to be this bad. After he explained what it felt like to be in his shoes, Ellen was less diplomatic in pointing out the ridiculousness of those (cough, Dr. Keith Ablow ) who are anti-Chaz: Chaz Bono on Ellen Later in the interview, they received a phone call from his biggest fan – mother Cher, who didn’t hesitate to lash out, like she has before , at the haters. “If you got that excess time and that amount of hostility, I’m not sure I can say anything to you that would make you change your feelings,” she said. “I don’t know that I would have any magic words to soothe you, to comfort you into not being terrified of my child on Dancing With the F–cking Stars.” How awesome is Cher? She did admit that she’s worried about one thing: Chaz’s dance moves . “You doing this dance is about as scary as you making ‘the change,'” she says.
We promise you won’t be missed!! A Muncie man who repeatedly sexually abused a 4-year-old girl, in the process infecting her with genital herpes, was sentenced Tuesday to 90 years in prison. Jarrad Lee Mastin, 23, received maximum sentences from Delaware Circuit Court 2 Judge Richard Dailey for each of three child molesting convictions. The judge also ruled that the sentences would be served consecutively. Jurors — who deliberated for about 20 minutes July 19 before convicting Mastin — viewed a videotape of a confession Mastin gave to police. The victim’s grandmother testified that after the girl was found to be suffering from the venereal disease, the child recounted secret “night-time games” that she had played with the defendant. Mastin — who did not testify at his trial — on Tuesday said he regretted his actions, but he maintained he did not have genital herpes, test results showing otherwise aside. The victim’s grandfather testified Tuesday that the now-7-year-old victim prays each night that other children be protected from what Mastin did to her. Aware of her infection, the grandfather said, the girl sometimes asks, “Will I ever be pretty?” Is 90 years really enough time for this piece of sh!t?? Should he have gotten life or the death penalty??? Source

A bunch of uptight, bible-belt-y moms have decided to wage war against the good folks at ABC for allowing Chaz Bono to appear on “Dancing With The Stars” with a female partner. These mothers and general LGBT haters feel like watching Chaz on DWTS would be traumatizing to children. They also feel like this is just another attempt to the LGBT lifestyle onto people who think its wrong. But our question is: how would your child know that Chaz Bono wasn’t born a man unless you told him or her? And for the kids who are big enough to know, don’t they kind of already know what’s up?
