Breakups: Chaz Bono May Have Man Parts Now But He’s Still Acting Like A C__t!

Chaz Bono sounds like a real drag. No pun intended. The “Dancing With The Stars” alum recently broke off his two-year engagement with longtime honey Jennifer Elia because he listened to Drake’s “Marvin’s Room” so much he’s convinced that he can do better she’s broke and can’t handle her liquor. Although he popped the question to girlfriend Jennifer Elia two years ago, and presented her with a ring on his reality TV show “Being Chaz,” the couple’s romance is kaput, sources say. “Chaz is totally over the relationship,” divulged an insider. “His parting shot to Jen made her realize there was no turning back. He told her, ‘I can do better than you.’ He wanted someone who could ride the wave of success with him but found Jen too much of a downer. “Chaz is already on the lookout for someone new and made it clear to Jen. He told her, ‘I’ve tried, but you just aren’t right for me. I’ve got to move on.’” Chaz — born Chastity Bono, the daughter of Cher and the late Sonny Bono — was with Jennifer, 36, for six years. But sources say their relationship began to suffer after Chaz underwent gender reassignment surgery in 2009. To make matters worse, Jennifer is unemployed while Chaz, 42, has become a media darling thanks to his recent stint on “Dancing with the Stars.” “Jen constantly gripes about not being able to find a job and her lack of money,” the insider confided. “She nags at Chaz about his weight and for the last few months her insomnia has been so bad that they don’t even sleep together.” But the couple’s biggest problem was Jen’s booze relapse, said the source. “When she drinks, Jen becomes a completely different person,” explained the source. “Chaz just can’t handle her then.” Sounds like they’re skirting the real issue here — that newfangled man part isn’t getting the job done.

Update: Death Of FAMU Drum Major Robert Champion Has Been Ruled A Homicide

Ladies and gentlemen, the isht has officially hit the fan. Via CNN.com : The death of Robert Champion Jr. , the 26-year-old Florida A&M University student and drum major who died last month after a suspected hazing incident, has been ruled a homicide, according to a medical examiner. The Friday afternoon announcement came just as Florida Gov. Rick Scott wrapped up a meeting with James Ammons, the university’s president, whose suspension he recommended amid an investigation into various issues at the university — including Champion’s death. Orange County officials said in a statement that Champion died November 19 because of “hemorrhagic shock, due to soft tissue hemorrhage, due to blunt force trauma sustained during a hazing incident.” He died in Orlando, where the band had been playing. Associate Medical Examiner Sara Irrgang performed the autopsy on Champion, overseen by Chief Medical Examiner Jan Garavaglia. According to the release, they noted that Champion was “previously healthy (when he) collapsed and died within an hour of a hazing incident during which he suffered multiple blunt trauma blows to his body.” He complained that he was thirsty and tired immediately after the incident and, minutes later, lost his eyesight. “These symptoms are consistent with hypotension or shock,” the statement noted. Some band members have said Champion may have died after a rite of passage called “crossing Bus C.” One member, who spoke on condition of anonymity, explained students “walk from the front of the bus to the back of the bus back backward while the bus is full of other band members, and you get beaten until you get to the back.” The autopsy found that Champion had “extensive contusions of his chest, arms, shoulder and back.” There was no evidence of “natural disease except for a slightly enlarged heart.” The young man’s father, Robert Champion Sr., said, “We are pleased to find out what caused our son’s death.” “Now, we need to move forward, so this doesn’t have to happen to any other kid,” the father said in a statement. SMH. So sad… What do you think this is going to mean for FAMU’s band program? More On Bossip! More Basketball Wives Beef!!!

It’s A Celebration!!! Today OFFICIALLY Marks The End Of The War In Iraq

We’re celebrating today, not because we “won a war,” but because so many families are about to be reunited. American troops lowered the flag of command that flew over Baghdad Thursday morning, rolled it, and placed it in a green and gray case, officially ending the controversial United States military mission in Iraq after nearly nine years. The understated ceremony under the bright Iraqi sun was the very opposite of the nighttime shock and awe bombardment of Baghdad that began the war against Saddam Hussein in March 2003. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta flew into Baghdad Thursday morning for the ceremony, where he vowed: “We do not forget the lessons of war. “Nor will we ever forget the sacrifices of the more than one million men and women of the United States armed forces who served in Iraq, and the sacrifices of their families,” he said. Panetta paid tribute to the nearly 4,500 Americans who were killed and more than 30,000 who were wounded in Iraq, where an estimated one million Americans troops have served in the past eight-and-a-half years. Iraq Body Count, an independent public database, calculates more than 150,000 Iraqis died between March 2003 and October 2010, the vast majority of them civilians. Panetta said the United States was “deeply indebted” to all Americans in uniform, and hailed the advances made in Iraq since Saddam Hussein was toppled by the invasion. And he said the day “is not about the United States. Rather, today is about Iraq. This is a time for Iraq to look forward.” Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, explained in very practical terms what the end of the U.S. mission meant. Departing from his prepared text, he said he had been able to fly into Iraq on this occasion simply because he wanted to. “The next time I come here, I’m going to have to be invited by the Iraqi government, and I kind of like that,” Dempsey said, before concluding his speech with thanks and a blessing in Arabic. Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki was not present, having returned to the country from the United States as the ceremony began. President Jalal Talabani was expected to be there but did not attend. The ceremony marked the official end of the mission that began with the United States-led invasion of Iraq in March 2003, aimed at toppling Saddam Hussein. His regime fell in a matter of weeks, and he was captured in December 2003 after months in hiding, then executed in 2006 after a trial by Iraq’s new authorities. All U.S. troops must be out of Iraq by the end of this month after Washington and Baghdad failed to agree on terms under which they could remain. There were about 5,500 American troops in Iraq as of Tuesday, the most recent day American officials in Iraq gave CNN figures. Do you really think it’s over? And if so, what do you think we’ve accomplished over the last 8 1/2 years?

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Recap: Sheree’s Law

It’s Tuesday and we’re watching The Real Housewives of Atlanta? Is anyone else confused? Due to the special night, we thought perhaps this would be a very merry holiday episode, Atlanta style. Instead things got downright down and dirty. Let’s break it down in THG’s +/- review! Bob’s dragging Sheree back to court to reduce his child support payments. Reduce it to what, you might ask, since he hasn’t paid a nickel in four years. Minus 15 . You can’t reduce nothing from nothing. So Sheree hires Phaedra to represent her and the legal diva gives Sheree some advice. First is to have Bob hauled off to jail for failing to make his support payments for four years. Plus 10 . Despite the current court case Sheree still has the right to hold his feet to the fire on that one but she backs down.  She doesn’t want to do that to the father of her children. Minus 12 , honey. He’s got no problem bailing on his kids and he’d probably step over Sheree if she fell down in front of him. Isn’t it past time to kick a little Bob butt? Phaedra’s second piece of advice is that Sheree not drive up in her brand new Porsche or wear her most expensive outfit. Sheree is aghast. What she has shouldn’t matter and ideally she’s right but it’s not smart to ask for money when you’re holding a $16,000 purse. As Sheree is freaking out before court, Phaedra overcompensates, telling her how easy this case is going to be. Minus 8 . Never promise anything when you head to court. Anything can happen. In the end Bob used a stall tactic. He filed a contempt charge against his ex saying she took furniture that he should have gotten in the divorce. It’s completely lame but it did the trick. They’ll all have to go back to court once again. Sheree blames Phaedra because she promised her so much and delivered nothing. Honestly I don’t think there’s much Ms. Parks could have done here … other than not raise Sheree’s hopes. And if Sheree had taken Phaedra’s advice in the first place the deadbeat dad would be filing motions from a jail cell. Kandi decides to update her sets for her web based sex show Kandi Koated Nights. The sets don’t help much when your guests are sitting there texting while the show’s in progress. Tonight’s topic: How can women snare a pro-athlete? Her guest host Charles Grant basically says women shouldn’t act like hookers if they want to be treated like ladies. I’ll give him a Plus 5 for his directness. Then Kandi wants to know how he want from NeNe to girlfriend Marlo who happens to be sitting next to him. Minus 8 to Kandi. I know she’s looking to be salacious but it comes across low class. Charles says he’s never been with NeNe. Then Kandi starts prying into where Marlo got her money. I bet the couple was wondering why the hell they agreed to come on this tacky little show.   Oh, but Kandi did share her favorite sex positions with her audience. Isn’t that something we all need to know. I’m guessing Kandi will be using her show to pimp her new line of musical sex toys. Sounds like a perfect fit. After giving birth on Sunday’s episode , Kim and Kroy take KJ home. I wish it all surrounded the cute baby. Instead we had to endure more talk about Kim’s boobs, her father’s breastfeeding jokes, why Kim’s scared of her son’s penis, her awe over baby poop and then we got to watch the dog pee on the floor. Minus 10 . Good times. Unfortunately for Kroy, Kim has yet to change a diaper and Brielle is more interested in being a teenager than helping out. Does this guy have any clue what he’s gotten himself into. Somehow, after all that, we’re still stuck on the fact that it’s Tuesday. Just doesn’t seem right. EPISODE TOTAL: -38! SEASON TOTAL: -133!

Miley Cyrus Shoots Down Boob Job Rumors

In a word: No . That’s basically Miley Cyrus’ response to rumors that she has undergone breast enhancement surgery. The chatter took off yesterday after Star Magazine published quotes from supposed professionals, all of whom studied Miley’s cleavage at a special CNN event this week and concluded that she most likely got a boob job . “Thank you for the compliment but these babies are all mine,” the singer has Tweeted. “I wish they’d realize you don’t have to be fake to be beautiful!” We don’t exactly feel comfortable discussing a 19-year old’s chest, so you may study the photos above (left, which prompted this rumor; right, which was snapped in July 2010) and decide for yourself: Did Miley get a boob job?

Hulk Hogan: I Must Answer Back!

Hulk Hogan has dropped a legal leg drop on his ex-wife. The former professional wrestler filed a lawsuit against Linda Hogan last week, following allegations in her new memoir that claim the Hulkster abused her physically and carried on a same-sex affair with former WWE star Brutus “the Barber” Beefcake. “After the four-year crazy divorce I thought I’d heard everything I could hear in the courtroom,” Hulk told Us Weekly of his basis for filing the defamation suit. “Then, all of a sudden she says I abused her, that I was violent. She told everybody that I was a homosexual.” Labeling the accusations as “insane,” Hulk continued: If “I was a homosexual I would embrace it. It’s just so crazy to hear, so I have a real problem with it… If you’re going to say I’m something that I’m not to try to ruin my career and my livelihood… I have to answer her back.” Beefcake – whose real name is Ed Leslie – has also answd back. He tells TMZ he’s planning his own lawsuit, adding: “I’ve known [Linda] for almost 40 years… but when she starts trying to ruin our careers, it just aint fair. Hulk is a tremendous person… a great man who deserves to be happy.” [Photo: WENN.com]

Fashion Face-Off: J.R. Martinez vs. Anderson Cooper

J.R. Martinez attended the CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute at The Shrine Auditorium in L.A. Sunday night, and if there were ever a celebrity to which the term “hero” truly applied, it would be this fall’s Dancing With the Stars winner. An Iraq War survivor who became a motivational speaker, advocate for veterans and soap opera star after being severely burned in a land mine explosion, the 28-year-old J.R. is a living, breathing testament to the triumph of the human spirit. Handsome too! Anderson Cooper? He’s a pretty cool dude too. The CNN anchor has made countless trips to veterans hospitals over the years, bringing attention to those who need it. He was also looking sharp last night as well – but more so than J.R.? Vote below:

Michele Bachmann-Donald Trump Ticket in 2012?

GOP Presidential candidate Michele Bachmann will not be her party’s nominee. Sorry, hardcore believers out there. It’s not personal, it’s just not happening. But why let that stop her from speculating on who she’d pick as her Vice President in 2012? “I have just the highest respect for Rick Santorum. He’s a very sharp guy, and I could easily see making him attorney general,” Bachmann tells the Des Moines Register . Another name on the Minnesota Congresswoman’s short list: The Donald! Who are three Republicans who will not be the next President? “We’ve got a lot of wonderful candidates who would fit that bill. Easily comes to mind I think would be Jim DeMint of South Carolina. Marco Rubio of Florida,” she told CNN . “There’s a lot of great people out there. And Donald Trump is someone that I think a lot of people would be intrigued with, too,” added Bachmann, hilariously. Trump, of course, toyed with the idea of running for U.S. President himself this year, then backed down, implying he could’ve won if he tried, but wasn’t up for it. He’s the best.

Another Day, Another White Woman Accusing Herman “Big Daddy” Cain Of Inter-Marital Affairs

Damn, these broads are coming out of the woodwork on Herman “Black People Are Gonna Vote For Me” Cain: A new woman alleged a 13-year-old affair with Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain on Monday, prompting the former Godfather’s Pizza CEO to issue fresh denials of any wrongdoing. Cain sought to offer a pre-buttal to an Atlanta FOX affiliate’s report, which is set to air this evening, featuring a woman who alleges she maintained an affair with Cain. Cain offered no specific rebuttals to any of the forthcoming claims, explaining that he would not respond to allegations before the report had aired them. But he did acknowledge a relationship with the new woman, whom he called an “acquaintance” that he had tried to help. “We will address these when they come out. At this point, I just want to give you a heads-up, I don’t have anything to hide,” Cain said on CNN. A preview for the station’s report, which is set to air at 6 p.m., says that Atlanta woman Ginger White claims to have had a 13-year-long affair with Cain, which she would detail publicly. The woman is just the latest accuser of Cain, whose once-promising White House bid has been weighed down by a series of women to have come forward and accused him of sexual misconduct; other women have accused Cain of harassment, not an affair. Some of the women have made the claims publicly, while others’ identities have not been made public. Still, Cain lumped the forthcoming allegation with the previous ones, which he has steadfastly denied and called “baseless.” When asked specifically if he had an affair with this latest accuser, Cain replied: “No, it was not.” Cain’s attorney responded to the FOX affiliate in more evasive terms: “This appears to be an accusation of private, alleged consensual conduct between adults – a subject matter which is not a proper subject of inquiry by the media or the public. No individual, whether a private citizen, a candidate for public office or a public official, should be questioned about his or her private sexual life,” attorney Lin Wood said. The businessman’s campaign had blamed a variety of opponents — from fellow Republican contenders, to Democrats — for the trickle of accusers, and Cain himself indicated Monday that he thought the latest allegation stemmed from someone who wished to slow his campaign. Dayumm, we wonder what Gloria thinks about this one.. Source
