Tamar And Vince Spotted Out And About After Domestic Dispute With news breaking of Tamar Braxton and Vincent Herbert catching fade in an Atlanta Hotel — and the situation becoming so heated that cops had to be called to the scene — the couple has some serious cleaning up to do. Right on cue, the duo was spotted looking lovey-dovey and perfectly content together arriving at LAX, and quietly confirmed that everything was peachy between them when pressed: Of course, our sources did mention that Vince and Tamar take special care to make public displays of unity and affection after each one of their marriage messes leaks to the public…so it’s possible that this was a ploy to PR the situation away. Vince was notably covering Tamar’s left hand with his own…but maybe we’re just being conspiracy theorists…. But maybe everything really is all good. What do you think? TMZ /Splash/WENN

Lou Pearlman Dies In Prison While Serving 25-Year Sentence Lou Pearlman, the innovative yet extremely crooked manager that masterminded mega-acts like Backstreet Boys, N*SYNC , passed away while serving a 25-year prison sentence in connection with running a $300 million ponzi scheme yesterday. He was 62. Via Orlando Sentinel : Boy band promoter Lou Pearlman, known for launching groups such as the Backstreet Boys and ‘NSync, died in prison Friday while serving a 25-year sentence for one of the largest Ponzi schemes in Florida history, a federal inmate database shows. Pearlman cashed in on the boy-band craze, building an empire of acts around the globe in the late 1990s and early 2000s. It collapsed in 2006 after he was exposed for running a massive $300 million Ponzi scheme. He declared bankruptcy in 2007 and was convicted of fraud in 2008. The cause of death for the 62-year-old was not disclosed Saturday. Calls to the Federal Bureau of Prisons were not returned. The Orlando entrepreneur is credited with starting the ’90s boy-band craze and managed huge acts including the Backstreet Boys, ‘N Sync, O-Town and the Chippendales before the scheme was uncovered. After the scheme was uncovered, hundreds of lawsuits were filed in the case, including one by the Backstreet Boys, and some victims were taken for their life savings. Pearlman was caught by FBI agents in Bali, Indonesia while running from creditors and regulators. He was living under the false name, A. Incognito Johnson. He was expelled from the country and arrested in Guam. Incognito Johnson??? He sounds like he lowkey wanted to be caught. This guy was crooked as they come, but the late 90’s and early 2000’s wouldn’t have been the same without him… WireImage
Diddy And Cassie Not Really Over For Good? Reports exploded yesterday of Cassie finally throwing Diddy the deuces after the two had an explosive argument over Cassie’s phone. LAPD confirmed that a domestic incident report was indeed filed. The couple hasn’t made any statements on their relationship status, but an E News source has come forward to speak on the pair’s intentions. Was Cassie cheating on Diddy? A source cleared that up with E News. As speculation mounted that Diddy, 46, took his longtime girlfriend’s phone over suspicion that she was cheating on him, a source debunks the notion, telling E! News, “Cassie would never cheat on Diddy, though. She just wishes things were better with them. It’s always up and down.” And does this mean it’s really A WRAP for the long time couple? “They are taking another break now. He loves her so much so likely it won’t be a long break. He always finds a way of coming back to her,” the source continued. Sounds like someone close to the couple is reserving hope for them. Do you think they’re rightful in doing so? Getty
Nonprofit Organization BMe Deposits $1 Million To Nation’s Largest Black-Owned Bank A nonprofit organization has deposited more than a million dollars in the nation’s biggest Black-owned bank according to The Root : BMe Community, a national network dedicated to strengthening communities with the help of black men, is redirecting $1 million of its deposits into OneUnited, the nation’s largest black-owned bank, making BMe the “preferred nonprofit” for the bank, while OneUnited has become the “preferred bank” for the organization. “When you try to get folks positively engaged in their communities and you think about building up the assets of the community, then it only makes sense that groups that say they care about the black community also bank black,” Trabian Shorters, the CEO of BMe, tells The Root. “And our network is in six cities. We have 165 BMe leaders that we’ve funded. Their work helps about half a million people every year, and it occurred to me that if we want other folks to invest in our communities, then we should lead by example.” Both BMe and OneUnited hope to encourage the whole community to move its money and its mindset toward collective economics, as well as building wealth within the community. “I think this #BankBlack movement is about more than us moving our money; it is about us moving our minds or just sort of opening up our minds to appreciating the power of our $1.2 trillion in spending power, and for us to start connecting with each other and using our money in a more purposeful way,” Teri Williams, president and chief operating officer of OneUnited, tells The Root.
