This can’t be real life … A woman is in the hospital after witnesses say she was assaulted at a Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant in Dearborn over the weekend. Family members tell FOX 2 the woman was celebrating her grandson’s seventh birthday Sunday afternoon when she asked patrons at a nearby table to clean up their language. “She said, ‘please don’t use that language with children,’” said the victim’s daughter. “They told her to ‘shut the f— up and turn around.’” That’s when the daughter says a man jumped over tables and started swinging at people. “He punched her in the face and dragged her by her hair,” she added. The 50-year-old victim was taken to nearby Oakwood Hospital where family members say she underwent a CAT scan and was treated for lacerations to her face and mouth. FOX 2 has learned the family was refunded their money by restaurant management. The incident is the third time in recent months FOX 2 has reported violent encounters at different Chuck E. Cheese’s in the metro Detroit area. Dammit, Detroit! Source More On Bossip! Get Your Life Together: Friends Think “Little Miss Slizzard Slutshine” Rih Rih Needs Rehab Break Up To Make Up?

For every time someone calls a black woman strong, 5,000 others will call her angry. When you’re a strong black woman and the wife of the first black president, you’re going to get called angry more often than not. Michelle Obama has fallen victim to the angry black woman label thanks to a new book written by New York Times writer, Jodi Kantor . In the book, Kantor tells of The First Lady having issues with President Obama’s top advisers. Michelle Obama was interviewed by Gayle King where she refuted those claims. Obama told King, “I guess it’s just more interesting to imagine this conflicted situation here. That’s been an image people have tried to paint of me since the day Barack announced, that I’m some kind of angry black woman.” Mrs. Obama also stated that she has no real contact with Obama’s staff. “If there’s communication that needs to happen, it’s between staffs,” she said. “I don’t have conversations with my husband’s staff.” For more on the story, head over to Black Voices .

Mason Dash Disick turns two years old today and it’s rather clear what all THG readers should chip in to get the tyke: a plane ticket as far away from his family as possible. As you might expect, Mason – who will soon be a big brother – was bombarded with well wishes over Twitter this afternoon, as mother Kourtney wrote: “Happy birthday to the love of my life. My precious little angel. It is my joy to see you grow every single day.” Khloe chimed in with “Happy Birthday, Mason. You are one of the greatest things to happen to our family! I love you like you will never understand,” while Kris Jenner referred to MDD as her “little angel.” The kid is a cutie, even the most ardent Kardashian basher must admit as much. We wish Mason health, happiness and a life free from sex tapes. [Photo: WENN.com]
Sinead O’Connor tied the knot yesterday. The lucky man is Barry Herridge. Just as she’d planned, the singer and her fiance said “I do” in quite the non-traditional fashion – while sitting in the back of a pink Cadillac in Las Vegas. “She wanted to do the whole thing in a Cadillac. That was her thing,” a source said of the ceremony, which began with the pair arriving around 7 p.m. In a pink, low-cut dress revealing her tattoos, the “Nothing Compares 2 U” singer filled out paperwork before settling into the Caddy on the Vegas Strip. “It wasn’t a traditional dress, but it wasn’t a traditional wedding either,” says the source. “Sinead cried during the vows and had to wipe her eyes.” After the 10 minute ceremony, Sinead O’Connor and her new husband lit candles as employees of the chapel sang “Happy Birthday” to the bride. It was also her 45th birthday, after all! [Photo: Pacific Coast News]
