Scottie And Larsa Pippen Caught Cuddling At Rick Ross Party JetSmarter hosted an exclusive dinner party at The Forge in Miami on Sunday night in celebration of Rick Ross’ new album release, “Rather You Than Me.” But even though Ricky Rozay was the guest of the hour…guests couldn’t help but notice that Scottie and Larsa Pippen were carrying on like Future Hndrxxx never happened to their marriage : As one eyewitness told Page Six : “They were holding hands . . . very lovey-dovey. They kept whispering in each other’s ears. It was as if they’d never split up.” Hey, love is some strong stuff! Good thing they were able to make it through their hardships… Other notable guests at the event included Meek Mill — still bandaged up from his run-in — Trina, Rudy Gay, Sam Sneak and Benny Pough, among others. VIP attendees chose between Chef Amaris Jones’ famous Southern-style Fried Chicken or his gourmet Canadian Salmon. And of course, there was also plenty of Rick Ross’ signature Belaire Champagne flowing all evening long. Sounds like a recipe for reconciliation. And we’re sure that rock Scottie slapped on her hand a few months back didn’t hurt either…

What year is it again??? Jury Declines To Indict Paul Wall And Baby Bash On Drug Charges Two Houston artists are celebrating today after the drug charges were pending against them. As previously reported Paul Wall and Baby Bash were arrested in December after a police raid today for the distribution and manufacturing of a controlled substance. That controlled substance turned out to be THC, the compound that gives marijuana its high, after authorities alleged that they were selling weed out of the Paradise Smoke Shop. According to ABC 13 , five people were indicted on drug charges for their alleged roles in the shop and declined to indict five others including Baby Bash and Paul Wall. Texas also has a Misdemeanor Marijuana Diversion Program that offers persons who meet certain criteria the option to avoid being charged and prosecuted for misdemeanor amounts of marijuana if they successfully complete a rehabilitative program on decision making. Baby Bash is also celebrating their dismissal on Instagram. Congrats to Paul Wall and Baby Bash. WENN
Mel B Files For Divorce From Stephen Belafonte Another one bites the dust… After 10 years of matrimony-dom, Melanie “Scary Spice/Mel B” Brown has filed for divorce from husband Stephen Belafonte. People acquired the divorce papers. In the file, Mel B lists the date of separation as December 28, requests joint legal and physical custody of their 5-year-old daughter, Madison Brown Belfonte, and requests to terminate the court’s ability to award spousal support. The timing seems very sudden, especially given the fact that just last month — just over a month after the listed date of separation — Mel still seemed to have lots of love for Stephen , even dedicating a “Ten Years of Marriage” post to him: The couple married back in 2007 after just five months of dating and with Mel B having just given birth to daughter Angel, fathered by Eddie Murphy, only two months prior to their secret wedding. Altogether, their blended family included 5-year-old Madison, 9-year-old Angel Iris Murphy Brown, 17-year-old Phoenix Chi Gulzar from Mel’s previous marriage, and 12-year-old Giselle Belafonte from Stephen’s previous relationship. So sad to hear another long-term couple calling it quits like this! Especially with all their daughters.
