Jennifer Anniston Not Preparing A Prenup For Upcoming Nuptials High paid Hollyweird actress Jennifer Annisto n is said to be completely comfortable with her hubby in waiting. So much so that despite the considerable gap between their finances , she has decided not to protect her fortune with a prenup. Jennifer Aniston reportedly won’t sign a pre-nuptial agreement, as she wants to show she is committed to her marriage. The star is confident her marriage to Justin Theroux will work out. The actress is said to be adamant about her decision as she trusts her actor fiancé completely. “Jen is a romantic and says she wants to show her commitment to the marriage by abandoning any ideas of a pre-nup,” Jen’s friends explained to Grazia magazine. Last week it was reported that the actress’ advisors had suggested she safeguard her fortune by drawing up a pre-nuptial agreement before her big day. Jennifer has considerably more money than her 41-year-old fiancé, with recent estimates putting the former Friends star’s wealth at around £95 million. Despite being married before, Jen is not worried about divorce or losing any money if the relationship turns sour. However, her loved ones are reportedly less relaxed about the idea. “Apparently it’s left her family a little nervous,” a source continued. “But Jennifer says she is madly in love with Justin and is extremely confident that the marriage will work. She’s extending her trust to Justin when it comes to their assets.” Given how unlucky in love she has been in the past , we’re a little surprised that Jen has taken this route. Hopefully her love-struck instincts don’t leave her down and out! Source
Dear Bossip , I’ve been in a relationship with my fiancé for 2 years now and I am absolutely miserable! I’ve known him for almost 20 years and always knew him to be such a sweet guy. I actually thought I was too wild for him. After we reconnected, he pursued me heavily and promised me he would be the man I’ve been searching for all this time. We dated for 8 months in a long distance relationship, but we saw each other at least twice a month and talked every day. He eventually moved to the city I live in because he could easily find a job here in his line of work, and my daughter is in high school. We agreed to split the bills 50/50, as we kept our own separate bank accounts. I have YET to receive half of the bill money from him because he ALWAYS says he doesn’t have money. He’s got to go visit his mother, buy a TV for his mother, put up a ceiling fan for his mother…the list goes on and on. AND, keep in mind, his mother lives in another state! He gets upset with me for not wanting to go with him every time he goes to visit her, but I talk to her on the phone every week and listen to him talk about her every day. He has no problem with me paying for every meal, paying all the bills and keeping the gas tank full. I’m just so embarrassed to go anywhere because he NEVER offers to pick up the tab. He always tells me that he doesn’t have any money, but he buys clothes every other week. I arch my own eyebrows, do my own hair, and don’t shop for myself basically because between paying all the bills and taking care of the household needs and kids, there’s not a lot left. He seems to be fine with the idea that I do nothing for myself. When he proposed to me, he told me that he had his finances in order and that we were going to be able to save and have the things we had talked about having for our future. None of the things he promised have taken place yet and I’m just miserable living with this man who puts everything before me or our relationship. The five kids he has doesn’t even cause problems because he’s even stingy with them, not wanting to take them anywhere when they come visit because he says he doesn’t have the money. I just don’t like the man he is and can’t believe that after 20 years, this is who he is! Please help…….. Sick AND Tired Dear Ms. Sick AND Tired , Welp, I don’t know what you’re complaining for. It’s two years in and you haven’t done anything about it, and he continues to live off you and your income. He continues to spend on his mother, and save his money, yet, the lie, yes THE LIE he told you that you were going to split the bills 50/50 meant that you would continue to pay the bills at your house, and he’d pay the bills at his momma house. But, err, uhm, a man who is running up behind his momma all the damn time, and spending more time with her than his woman, well, you can forget about him ever being solely yours and completely with you. He belongs to his momma, and you only inherited a boy. You are his second momma. You’re basically taking care of him. Think about it: You feed him. You clean up behind him. You take care of him. You nurture him. You scold him. You baby him. You treat him just like he wants to be treated, and he’ll never be a man because you and his momma continue to treat him like he’s some freaking little a** boy! He’s not going to change, and he’s not going to ever be a man because he will always have his momma, and he will always find a woman who will be his second momma. And, if you’re sick and tired, then the next time he has to rush home to his momma and fix something, or give her something, then you tell him, “You stay your a** with your momma. You go live with her. You let her continue to take care of you. It’s obvious she’s your woman. So, go be with your woman!” And, you pack all his –ish, ship it to him, and change your number and the locks on your door. Why do you keep putting up with this grown little boy who can’t even take care of you and the household? Honey, when you realized that he wasn’t taking care of his five children that should have set off the bells in your head. His own kids won’t even ask him for anything because he doesn’t spend anything on them. SMDH! That’s sad. But, I want to know when he promised you that he would be the man you’d been searching for, what man exactly was he referring to? Did he give you an outlined description? Did he break it down and tell you instead of showing you? Yes, that’s right, he didn’t show you, he told you what you wanted to hear. As Drake so eloquently rapped, “You hate the fact that you bought the dream that they sold you.” No man should be living off his woman and he got a job. No man who promises to marry you and make a family with you should not be in a position whereas he can’t take care of his family. And, no man should be putting his momma before his soon-to-be wife, or his wife. People will tell you what you want to hear, especially if they can see desperation, desire, and a yearning in your eyes, and in your voice. He heard the tiredness in your voice of looking for a man. He saw the loneliness in your eyes. And, he knew exactly what bull-ish lines to feed your hungry a**. Instead of listening to what he was telling you, you should have told that bum bish to show you! So, chalk it up as a lesson learned and move on. Get out of this relationship immediately because once you’re married it will only get worse. Nothing is going to change. He is only going to mooch off of you and take from you until the wheels fall off. Get that trifling bum off your wagon and go get your hair and nails done. Go shopping and buy yourself a new wardrobe. The hell you look like paying all the bills, taking him to dinner, and supporting his grown a** and he got a damn job. I wish I might.

Very interesting question… Journalist Allison Samuels Asks “What If George Zimmerman Was Black Making his first television network appearance last night on Fox News, a perfectly coifed George Zimmerman apologized for killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin—while in the same breath admitted he’d do nothing different if he had the chance. As Zimmerman, who appeared dazed during parts of the interview, discussed the events that led to the death of an unarmed high-school student simply walking home from the 7-Eleven, it was difficult to imagine a similar chain of events occurring if the tables were turned. Just prior to yesterday’s interview, Zimmerman’s lawyer Mark O’Mara released a statement boldly admitting that part of the reason for the appearance on Fox was to raise money for his client’s defense. Zimmerman has already received a pretty staggering amount of donations since his arrest this past April. So much so that in June, his bail was revoked due to the fact he failed to report at least $150,000 in an online account donated from his many supporters. What if every criminal was allowed a prime time interview in order to raise money for his or her defense? Let’s take it further. Imagine for just a moment if Zimmerman were a black man (Zimmerman is the product of a white father and Hispanic mother). He shoots and kills an unarmed white teenager because said teenager “appeared” to be acting suspicious in his neighborhood community one night. Though the now dead teenager has only a cell phone, Skittles, and iced tea on him, the black man who pulled the trigger not only gets to go home that very night, but he remains free for another 44 days, reportedly because of a self-defense law called “stand your ground.” Only marches and public outcry by white leaders lead to his arrest, but he isn’t in jail long. Even after it’s revealed that he wasn’t truthful with the court about his finances and ability to flee the country, he’s freed once again and then given an extended Hollywood-style interview on a top-rated news program to tell his ever changing story. …Would anyone honestly give a 28-year-old black man the benefit of the doubt telling the same story when a Sanford police officer filed a report that night stating clearly that this tragedy was avoidable had Zimmerman just followed instructions and stayed in his car? Would Fox or any other major news channel dare give him 40 minutes to explain away the senseless death of someone’s child who’d done nothing but walk home from the store with a hoodie on while being black? What network would offer a black man a chance to “humanize” himself in an effort to raise more money for his defense for murdering someone whom he deemed “unfit” for his neighborhood but had committed no crime? And would thousands of strangers send money to support a black man who instead of showing real remorse to the parents of the teenager killed by saying he’d do anything to avoid their child dying at his hands, actually had the gall to say on TV that it was God’s will that the events of that night happened? As Trayvon Martin’s father Tracy said in a statement late last night, “We must worship a different God.’’ Imagine anyone being truly sympathetic to a black man who admitted he never once identified himself to the teenager as a member of the neighborhood watch, which may have given the teenager a very real reason to be afraid for his own life. It’s difficult to believe anyone would be so sympathetic if the tables were indeed turned, and the faces of the accused and the deceased were reversed. But sadly, George Zimmerman is and will continue to be a hero to far too many willing and ready to believe that an unarmed young black teenager minding his own business got exactly what he deserved when he was shot to death that February night. Damn. What do you think of Allison’s theory? She’s makes some very interesting points. Image via WENN TheDailyBeast
Dear Bossip , Let me start by saying that I love your honesty…. Now! I have been seeing someone for 6 years on and off. He tells me that he loves me, but because I had an abortion when we were 21 years old he states, “He cannot trust me.” I do everything for this man and provide him with the three F’S – (FEED, F**k, and help him financially when he needs it.) No! We do not live together, but when we did I took care of the rent since I make more money than him. He says he wants to settle back down and get married but I have to prove myself to him. Well, it has been 5 years since the abortion and I have shown so many signs that I am a good woman. I work, cook, and clean. When I am not around him I know in my heart he is with somebody else. His mother told me that he loves me and talks about me all the time. We also do everything with his family as if we are together. His fear is once I get another title with him that I will revert back to my old ways. But I was young back when we first started dating and I am not the only one that has messed up in the course of our relationship. My question is do you think he is just stringing me along until he finds something better? I’ve met great guys but I did not give them an opportunity because I’ve felt like I owe him because of the abortion. This is why I am confused I don’t understand why he is making everything so difficult. Yes!! I feel bad for the mistake I made 5 years ago and I’ve spoken to GOD for forgiveness. – Trying To Be His Wife Dear Ms. Trying To Be His Wife , Chile, you have truly fallen and bumped your big a** head! The hell is wrong with you trying to prove yourself to a man!?! And, you’re providing the three F’s and you’re not even married?? And, you make more money than him, and he needs help financially? Chile, I wish I might! You let him fix his mouth to say to you that you have to prove yourself to him before you get married because he doesn’t trust you. And, it’s been five years, and he’s still talking that bull-ish! Girl, please back all the way the hell up from me! Ladies, ladies, ladies you should not be trying to prove any damn thing to any damn body!!! If he can’t take you as you are, and love you for you, and you’re doing everything for him, but he wants to throw up in your face about something you did when you were younger, then kicked that a**hole to the curb and move on with your life. When a man tells you that you have to prove yourself to him then please note that he will never, and has no plans or intentions on marrying you or settling down with you. He will forever hold it against you what you did IN YOUR PAST! But, here’s the kicker, he wants you to forgive him and forget what he did in his past. All the abuse, cheating, lying, deceiving, and manipulating he wants you to just forget about it and let it go, and your simple a**es do it and let him come back only for him to do it again. SMDH! Girl, don’t ever make someone a priority in your life when you clearly are an option in theirs! And, your boyfriend does not love you. If he loved you he would forgive you and move on. If he loved you he wouldn’t be holding what you did in your past over your head. If he loved you he would be doing everything in his power to make sure that you felt his love, and he would marry you and he would be looking to start over and have a family with you. It shouldn’t have taken him five years to decide or figure if he wants to marry you. It does not take five years for him to come to some conclusion that you’re trustworthy and won’t revert back to your old ways. And, what the hell is this mofo talking about “revert back to your old ways.” Are you freaking kidding me??? What about him reverting back to his old ways?? Honey, you are so caught up in trying to prove yourself to him that you are overlooking your instincts which tell you that he is seeing someone else. Stop letting him cloud your judgment and second guess yourself. Stop letting him play on your self-esteem and emotions. He is taking advantage of you and the situation, and he’s got you sitting over their looking like a backwoods Opie with a special helmet on your head. Stop acting and being dumb! It’s not cute or attractive. Until you get a backbone, and put on your big girl panties and confront him like a woman he will keep playing you like the little girl you’re acting like who keeps trying to prove something to some adult. Tell his a** he needs to prove himself as a husband and get on his J-O-B! He needs to be out-earning you income. You shouldn’t be taking care of the finances of the home, and holding him down consistently. He needs to step up and be a damn man! And, until then, you remove yourself from him and the situation, and start dating other guys. Get yourself a make-over with all the money you’ve been doling out on him. Get a new wardrobe, and a new hair-do. It’s time to reclaim your life and power and stop giving it to someone else. It’s all about you, and you’ve to recognize this or he will wear you down and out and leave you. Besides, when he sees you doing your thing, and moving on from him, he will turn his behind around and come back pleading and begging you to take him back. He’ll realize you were a good woman, and that it was him who screwed you over. – Terrance Dean Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think? Share your opinions and thoughts below!

George Zimmerman will be allowed to post bond for a second time as he awaits trial on a second-degree murder charge in the shooting death of Miami Gardens teen Trayvon Martin , a judge ruled Thursday. In a written ruling, Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester set Zimmerman’s bond at $1 million. Lester revoked Zimmerman’s $150,000 bond last month after prosecutors said he and his wife misled them about his finances during an April bond hearing. Zimmerman and his wife, Shellie, had raised around $135,000 at the time of the April hearing, prosecutors said. Prosecutors said the couple talked in code while discussing the money in conversations recorded while Zimmerman was in jail. “They used code, they used other words other than ’9,000 dollars’ to make sure that whoever was listening wasn’t aware of what was going on,” prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda said during a bond hearing last week. “Why was that done? It was done to hide the money, so that they could deceive the court, lie to the court.” Shellie Zimmerman was arrested on a perjury charge and later bonded out of jail. Zimmerman, 28, was arrested and charged in April in the shooting of Martin, 17, on Feb. 26 in a gated community in Sanford. Zimmerman has pleaded not guilty and claims the shooting was self-defense. Do you think George should have been issued bond again? Source

George Zimmerman failed to identify himself twice and missed opportunities to defuse a confrontation with Trayvon Martin, a detective says in a newly released report. Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, is charged with second-degree murder in the February 26 shooting death of Martin, 17, in Sanford, Florida. The report, which Florida prosecutors released Tuesday, includes a video of Zimmerman showing injuries he said he suffered in the altercation with Martin. Zimmerman, 28, told police he shot the teen in self-defense, but many feel he racially profiled Martin and ignored a 911 dispatcher’s advice not to follow him. Among the documents released was a report from a police officer who conducted computerized voice stress analysis tests on Zimmerman following the incident. “Mr. Zimmerman was subjected to two exams, and was found to be classified as No Deception Indicated,” the report said. Also released was an unredacted capias request, a request that someone be taken into custody, prepared by the lead police investigator in the case. Christopher Serino wrote in the report: “Investigative findings show that (Zimmerman) had at least two opportunities to speak with (Martin) in order to defuse the circumstances surrounding their encounter.” “On at least two occasions (Zimmerman) failed to identify himself as a concerned resident or a neighborhood watch volunteer.” The detective also said Zimmerman’s actions “are inconsistent with those of a person who has stated he was in fear of another subject.” In the same report, Serino wrote that Zimmerman’s injuries were “marginally consistent with a life-threatening violent episode as described by him.” The report is one of several key pieces of information, including the Trayvon Martin autopsy report , to be released in advance of the trial. Zimmerman’s defense attorney, Mark O’Mara, filed a motion Wednesday asking that his client be allowed to appear at a Friday bond hearing in “civilian clothing instead of a prison uniform and without restraints.” Zimmerman’s bail was revoked this month after after a judge said he misled the court about his finances. He had been released in April. Video and photos of Zimmerman shackled and wearing jail garb could prejudice prospective jurors, which is a serious concern, O’Mara said. In response to the document release, O’Mara said Tuesday it will be up to a judge and jury to interpret what Serino’s report means to the case. “His suggestion that it’s marginally consistent, again, is up for review. Those people will have to look at it, whether it’d be Judge (Kenneth) Lester in a motion hearing where the jury will also make that determination,” he said. He said a jury will decide “whether or not those injuries give rise to a reasonable belief in George’s mind that he was a victim of great bodily injury or death.” Martin’s family attorney, Benjamin Crump, said he agrees with the detective. http://www.cnn.com/2012/06/27/justice/florida-teen-shooting/index.html

Eduardo Saverin, the billionaire Facebook co-founder portrayed by Andrew Garfield in The Social Network , is no longer an American citizen. Saverin, 30, renounced the U.S. citizenship he gained as a teenager in advance of the company’s impending IPO, a move met with criticism. He’s accused of trying to skip out on taxes with the move, though the Brazilian-born resident of Singapore has done nothing illegal at any point. Eduardo Saverin co-founded Facebook at age 21, was forced out two years later, sued CEO Mark Zuckerberg and ultimately settled out of court. He was given a share of the company that left him phenomenally wealthy. His stake, 4 percent of the company, will most likely be worth more than $3 billion when Facebook goes public Friday. Hence his exit now. Saverin joins a growing number of people giving up U.S. citizenship , a move that can trim their tax liabilities when residing in lower-tax nations. Said Tom Goodman, a spokesman for Saverin, in an e-mailed statement: “Eduardo recently found it more practical to become a resident of Singapore since he plans to live there for an indefinite period of time.” He professes ignorance about his taxes and refuses to discuss his finances. “This had nothing to do with taxes,” he insisted. “I was born in Brazil, I was a U.S. citizen for about 10 years. I thought of myself as a global citizen.” Saverin renounced U.S. citizenship “around September”, according to his spokesman. Singapore doesn’t have a capital gains tax. It does tax income earned in that nation, as well as “certain foreign- sourced income,” according to reports. Saverin won’t escape all U.S. taxes. Americans who give up their citizenship owe what is effectively an exit tax on the capital gains from stock holdings. Renouncing your citizenship in advance of an IPO is “a very smart idea,” said one expert, “Once it’s public you can’t fool around with the value.” Saverin’s decision to leave could have been a wager that the cost of an exit tax now – 15 percent of whatever valuation he could get the IRS to agree to – would be far less than the 35 percent or more in estate tax his heirs would face.
