I’ve never been the type of person that does anything for publicity. I don’t need it. I’m on TV every day. How much more publicity do I need? I did this out of my heart, out of love. It’s time for me to sit my a*s down. I’m out the game.” If you didn’t believe Erica Mena before, then listen to Bow Wow’s latest interview on 106 & Park.

Lifetime’s controversial Brittany Murphy biopic premiered Saturday, and in doing so, stirred more controversy surrounding the late actress’ life and death. The Brittany Murphy Story Clip The TV movie became a controversial topic for fans, and Murphy’s father , who slammed the project and feared that the starlet’s image was being tainted. Brittany Murphy died on December 20, 2009 from anemia, pneumonia and “combined drug intoxication,” a cause of death her family is still skeptical of. Some fans even pointed the finger at Simon Monjack , the 32-year-old’s husband who is depicted prominently in Lifetime’s The Brittany Murphy Story . Murphy’s family believes Brittany was poisoned to death , although Monjack – now also deceased – may have also fallen victim to the same, accidental fate. In any case, the film showed the actress struggling to obtain roles in Hollywood after tabloids and celebrity gossip sites damaged her image and reputation. Dropped by her agent, Murphy was reeling until Monjack, a former paparazzi member turned executive producer and writer, came to her “rescue.” Suspiciously to some, Monjack developed a romantic relationship with Brittany Murphy and took control of her career after their whirlwind courtship. Remembering Brittany Murphy (1977-2009) 1. Brittany Murphy Image Brittany Murphy enjoyed a good deal of acting success in the years following her performance in Clueless. Sadly, she passed away unexpectedly in 2009. While Brittany Murphy’s mother, Sharon, openly questioned Monjack’s intentions, he insisted that he truly loved her and wanted to help her career. One of his attempts was getting her a role in a horror film, which Murphy (portrayed by Amanda Fuller) told Monjack (Eric Petersen) she didn’t want to do. She came around, though, to The Caller, a small budget thriller filming in Puerto Rico that she gave up a role in a pilot produced by her ex Ashton Kutcher for. The Lifetime movie depicts the actress falling asleep on the set, forgetting her lines and growing displeased that the “thriller” turned out to be a horror film. Producers accused Monjack of being drunk and kicked him off of the set. When Brittany Murphy stood by her husband’s side, the director fired her. Murphy was let go from the film a couple weeks prior to her death. Rumors quickly spread about the drama on set, even prompting an SNL sketch. Whatever creative liberties taken by the (beyond low-budget) film, it’s clear that she was not in a good place near the end of a life that ended far too soon. 23 Shocking Celebrity Deaths 1.

Guess this means she’s put Future in her past? Ciara Says She’s Happy Because Of Son And Career, In Spite Of Split From Future Ciara remains strong despite recent news that she called off her engagement with her son’s father Future. According to US Weekly reports : As Us Weekly exclusively revealed, Ciara has called it quits with Future — her fiance and father to her newborn son Future Zahir Wilburn — after learning of his infidelity. Before the news broke, the “I’m Out” singer spoke with Us on Tuesday, Aug. 12, about how her life has changed since welcoming her baby. “I’m in a much more clairvoyant place in my life,” Ciara, 28, told Us of motherhood. “So, I want to express that through my music.” The singer, who will appear on MTV’s House of Style for Degree Women, further mused. “I’m in an even more expressive place,” she said. “I think that when you become a mom… you don’t really worry about the small stuff. I’m just way more centered. It makes you focus even more on what your goals are in life. And I just feel a whole new spiritual energy that’s happening.” According to a source, Ciara was “devastated” after learning of her fiance’s betrayal. “He cheated on her,” the insider said. “Game Over.” Despite her recent trials, the R&B still counts her abundant blessings, especially as a proud mom to her 3-month-old baby. “My son has been the best thing that has happened in my life,” Ciara told Us of Future Zahir, born in May. “He has been amazing and he is truly heaven-sent. And so, I just feel all that love.” She added that parenthood has fueled her to be even more diligent about her career. “I want to be one of those moms and women that when I look back, I know that I always stayed focused,” she explained. “It’s about keeping your eyes on the prize. Before I had a child, I had goals. And I still have to accomplish those goals, but now that I have a child, I have more goals to accomplish. So I can’t waste time. I have to go for it.” She added, “It’s actually pushing me harder, and forward.” Indeed, Ciara has been hard at work in the studio with mega-producers like Dr. Luke and Mike Will (who’ve worked with the likes of Miley Cyrus, Rihanna, and Wiz Khalifa). “Now my concept is do more… times three.” She elaborated, “I’m all about making the best music possible… We’re just having fun, letting the music live. Just letting it be.” She added with a laugh: “I am not an old lady! Moms can be fresh, fly and young, and that’s the kind of mom I want to be, and there definitely can be a ‘Body Party Part 2.’ And 3, and 4 and 5.” (“Body Party” was her standout 2013 track co-produced and co-written by her ex, who helped produce much of her self-titled fifth studio album last year.) The multi-tasking songstress her state of mind has helped her hone in on her dreams. “It’s a good challenge,” she said of being a working mom. “I think it’s all mental. I’m mentally committed to doing the things I need to. It becomes a part of who you are and you just have to commit to it. You can’t lose focus of what your goal is.” “It’s a great thing,” she said of motherhood. “I wouldn’t trade it for the world, and I’m very, very happy.” Wonder if being in that “clairvoyant place” helped her figure out that Future was cheating on her?

We knew something was fishy when Ciara showed up on Instagram with no engagement ring. Reports are saying the singer has allegedly called off her engagement with Future…
Another couple has been added to the 2014 celebrity break-ups list. And the story behind this one is a doozy. In May, Ciara and Future welcomed their first child into the world, a boy named after his father. Fast forward three months, however, and the singer has called off her engagement to the rapper for one simple reason, according to Us Weekly. “He cheated on her. Game over,” an insider tells the tabloid, while another source adds of Ciara’s reaction to this infidelity: “She’s devastated. Ciara’s focus now is the baby.” Together for over a year, the couple got engaged on Ciara’s birthday in October 2013. Future shocked his girlfriend on that occasion in New York City, presenting her with a 15-carat diamond ring. She gave birth to their son seven months later. “Our label put us together,” Ciara told Brides in July about meeting her now-ex. “I went into the studio strictly to work, but he was very calm and sweet, a gentleman… I knew right away that he was different. Now he’s my best friend in the world, my partner.” But not any longer. 22 Celebrities Who Are Known Cheaters 1. Tiger Woods Really, everyone else on this list is just playing for second place.
