Swirly Matrimony-dom: Daughter Of BET Founder Bob Johnson Marries Millionaire Golfer In The Bahamas

Posted on May 7, 2013 by Benny Hollywood

The Swirl : 1, Brothas: 0 Bob Johnson’s Daughter Marries White Man In Bahamas There’s one less heiress on the market: Paige Johnson got married Saturday. Via Washington Post reports: The gorgeous daughter of BET founders Bob and Sheila Johnson wed Dudley Payne III in a sunset ceremony at the Ocean Club in the Bahamas. The bride and groom picked the site because they’re fans of the James Bond movie “Casino Royale,” which was set at the famed luxury resort. More than 200 guests attended the lavish four-day celebration, which kicked off with a rehearsal dinner Thursday. A beach party on Friday got hit with some rain, but we’re told there was perfect weather for the ceremony and reception Saturday, where Grammy-winning R&B star Ne-Yo sang Elton John’s “Your Song” for the couple’s first dance. There was also entertainment by in-demand DJ Cassidy — who has spun discs at the White House as well as at Jay-Z’s house — and a Motown band. Guests trickled out after a farewell brunch Sunday. This is the first marriage for Johnson, a champion equestrian based in Middleburg, as well as for Payne, an insurance broker from Warrenton. The two were introduced by a mutual friend seven years ago and have been dating ever since. “This guy is the perfect guy for Paige,” Bob Johnson told us last week. “He’s a true gentleman.” Before proposing last year, Payne took the old-fashioned step of inviting the multi-millionaire to Café Milano to ask for his only daughter’s hand in marriage. Their courtship and engagement stayed under the radar because the two have been so busy with other pursuits. Johnson, 27, who walked the aisle in a Monique Lhullier gown, has been a competitive equestrian rider since she was 5, training in Virginia and Florida, and traveling to competitions around the world. She was included in a 2012 Town & Country cover story on heiresses of the horse world, alongside fellow riders Jessica Springsteen and Georgina Bloomberg. Payne, 30, has an insurance brokage business but his real passion is golf; he competes at serious amateur tournaments almost every weekend. “They’re both intensively competitive in their chosen fields,” said her dad.

Blissful Matrimony-dom: Justin Timberfake Can’t Take His Eyes Off Wife Jessica “Nice Cakes” Biel At Roseland Ballroom Concert

Posted on May 7, 2013 by Benny Hollywood

Well it’s about time ain’t it? After years of torturing his now-wife with meaningless flings, Justin Timberlake has his hubby hat on and is acting the part with a whole lotta gusto. Via NYPost reports : Justin Timberlake sang directly to his wife, Jessica Biel, during his concert at the Roseland Ballroom Sunday. Timberlake crooned for 3,000 fans but directed some of his most romantic lines to Biel. A witness tells us, “Jessica was sitting in the balcony with Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis. When Justin opened the show, he kept looking right at her. And when he sang ‘Mirrors,’ he sang the lyrics directly up to Jessica.” The song includes lines like “I’m lookin’ right at the other half of me.” What a sweet story. Too bad every time we read something nice about these two all we can think about is how he dogged her out so bad for all the years before finally putting a ring on it. Do you think JT’s dirty dog past will ever be forgotten? WENN Continue reading →

Mama Said Knock You Out! Floyd Mayweather Jr. Beats Robert Guerrero And Keeps Welterwelt Championship Belt

Posted on May 5, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Congrats to the money team ! Floyd Mayweather Jr. Beats Robert Guerrero Via SI reports: The defense was back, just like it used to be. Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s dad was back, too, just like he used to be. And Mayweather was a winner once again – just like he always is. Mayweather fought as if he had never left the ring, coming back from a year’s absence Saturday night to win a unanimous 12-round decision over Robert Guerrero in their welterweight title fight. The game plan was defense, and Mayweather followed it perfectly. With his father directing from the corner after a 13-year absence, he dominated Guerrero in a performance not totally expected at the age of 36. “I needed my father tonight,” Mayweather said. “My defense was on point and he told me to stick with my defense and that the less you get hit the longer you last.” Mayweather was masterful at times, landing thudding right hands and bloodying Guerrero’s face in a performance that mimicked some of his best fights. Mayweather hurt Guerrero on several occasions, including a series of right hands near the end of the eighth round that buckled Guerrero’s knees. All three judges scored the bout 117-111. The Associated Press had it 119-109. “We did it again,” Mayweather said after earning at least $32 million for his night’s work. “I take my hat off to Robert Guerrero. He’s a true warrior.” If it wasn’t terribly pleasing to the crowd of 15,880, it was terribly effective. Mayweather made a fighter who hadn’t lost in eight years look befuddled as he danced and moved and shot out right hands with increasing frequency. He remained unbeaten in 44 fights and, more importantly, looked so fresh that he may follow through on his plan to fight again in September. “I was looking for the knockout but I hurt my hand,” Mayweather said. “I feel bad I didn’t give the fans the knockout.” Did you watch the fight?

FINALLY! Kris The Hump May Give Up His Battle To Prove Kimmy Cakes Is A Matrimony-dom Fraud And Settle Divorce Tomorrow!

Posted on April 18, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

It’s about cotdamn time!!! Kim Kardashian And Kris Humphries May Settle Divorce Tomorrow According to TMZ reports : Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries could settle their never-ending divorce case as early as tomorrow … TMZ has learned. The fleeting lovebirds are both ordered to appear in court tomorrow for a settlement conference. The big hang-up is that Kris has been fighting for an annulment based on alleged fraud, and Kim has steadfastly refused to go down that road. She wants a clean, simple divorce. Sources close to Kris say there are various factors that are softening his position, including: – There’s an ironclad prenup, if the case goes to trial Kris will get NO money from Kim (although as we previously reported Kris has demanded $7 mil from her — good luck with that). – After all the depositions and legal docs flying back and forth, no evidence has surfaced showing Kim defrauded Kris — and that goes to the heart of his claim. – Kris is about to get nailed with monetary sanctions for being a no-show at the last hearing and, in the process, he’s pissed off the judge who would be presiding over the divorce trial. – If the case goes to trial and Kris loses, he could be in the hole for as much as a million bucks in attorney’s fees. Sources tell us each side has already racked up $300k in lawyer’s fees, and they’ll spend another $200k if the case goes to trial. We broke the story, if the case goes to trial and Kim wins, she’ll ask the judge to make Kris pay HER lawyer’s fees. Our sources say it’s by no means a done deal that the case is going to settle tomorrow, but as one source put it, “Kris is opening his eyes a little bit, and what he sees doesn’t look good.” We won’t count any chickens, but this divorce has been goin’ on WAY too long. It’s time for Kris to let it go already and get ready for the NBA playoffs. If it’s any consolation, most people already assume that the marriage was a sham in the first place. Image via WENN

Bryan Prejean and Wanda Ware exchanged vows at the downtown campus of Houston’s First Baptist Church.

We started dating. I’ve known him about seven years,” Ware said. “He’s really a great guy with a good heart. And he loves God, and that’s what I was looking for: a man who loves God.” Church members donated the dress, decorations, food and even paid for the honeymoon.
