Selena Gomez Aims to Inspire, Tells Fans "Stay True to Yourself"

We’re taking a break from posting  Selena Gomez nude photos and wondering about a  Selena Gomez secret project to present an inspiring speech from – you guessed it ! – Selena Gomez. The young singer took to the stage at We Day California yesterday and addressed a group of fans, opening up for the first time about her recent stint in rehab. “I lost sight of who I was,” Gomez said of her multi-week stay in January. “I listened to opinions of people, and I tried to change who I am because I thought the others would accept me for it. And I realized I don’t know how to be anything but myself.” The exact reasons behind Selena’s rehab visit have never been made public, though many believe she was an emotional wreck following her relationship with Justin Bieber . Selena Gomez WE DAY Speech Gomez advised everyone to “stay true to yourself” and added: “I’ve learned from my actions, and for all the things I’ve done, I’m proudest of that. I’ve learned from my mistakes.” And that’s really all we can ask of ourselves, isn’t it? Selena also noted that “you are who you surround yourself with,” causing us to guess whether she’s referring to Bieber… and, if so, whether she’s doing so in a positive manner or not.

Nikki Ferrell: Pregnant and ABANDONED By Juan Pablo Galavis?!

Nikki Ferrell is pregnant and getting abandoned by Juan Pablo, according to one celebrity gossip tabloid. Gotta be rough for the winner of The Bachelor. Life & Style’s new report may or may not be completely bogus, of course, and is clearly buoyed by the undeniable fact that Juan Pablo is a douche. Universally derided as the worst Bachelor ever , his stock tanked so hard this year that almost any negative story about him would seem plausible. Still … Nikki Ferrell pregnant? Is anybody buying that? She certainly doesn’t look it (above, right), but the magazine claims she’s told Juan that she’s expecting, as a “fake relationship turns all too real.” Well played, In Touch. Or at least well written. Apparently, Juan Pablo “I like you a lot” Galavis still hasn’t told Nikki Ferrell he loves her, and she’s terrified that he’ll abandon her … not a bad guess. Ask Carla Rodriguez . Just sayin’. While Juan Pablo seems like he puts in the money and time to take care of daughter Camila, how will another kid with his fake non-fiance go over? Not well, we’re guessing. Fortunately, he likely has nothing to worry about. We can’t see him having another accident that would cut into his flirtations and flings with other women. Again.

When The Fugees Checks Stop Coming In: Wyclef Jean’s Manager Says He’s Broke After Owing Millions In Debt

Lauryn Hill isn’t the only one with money problems … Wyclef Jean’s Business Manager Says He Is Broke Former Fugees member Wyclef Jean is reportedly broke, according his business manager. Via NewsOne reports: The Smoking Gun reports that the entertainer, who only a couple of years ago tried to run for the Haitian presidency, reportedly is in debt to Uncle Sam to the tune of $2.9 million in tax liens. Through a confidential agreement that was drawn up, the international 44-year-old Haitian ambassador reportedly said he would fork over $100,000 to entertainment law firm Shukat Arrow Hafer Weber & Herbsman to settle an outstanding bill of $133,000. Jean, according to The Smoking Gun, was requested to satisfy his outstanding debt with the law firm via two installments: $10,000 by last August 1 and another $50,000 by the end of last year. According to the alleged agreement, if Jean made the two payments totaling $60,000, the law firm would waive $40,000. If the entertainer, however, failed to make good on the agreement, an additional ten percent annual interest would also get tacked on to the $100,000. Jean did not make any payments to the firm, according to The Smoking Gun. His accountant, David Levin, reportedly sent out an email in January to the celeb’s creditors stating, “in my most professional verbiage…there ain’t no money.” The email was sent out in response to the law firm’s threats of impending court action against Jean. Levin reportedly told the legal eagles to go ahead and “file it” and they did. Now, Jean reportedly owes the firm $102,027.40. He has had other money woes in the past as well. Following the Haitian earthquake, Jean was questioned about the handling of the finances of his now defunct charitable organization, Yele Haiti. The non-profit foundation collected over $16 million in donations following the series of earthquakes that decimated the island’s capital city, Port-Au-Prince. When your lawyer says “there ain’t no money left” we have wonder what law school he went to. Can’t wait to hear where his accountant went to college. Poor thang! Continue reading

SMH: Rich Couple With Yacht And $3 Million In The Bank Defrauded Government Out Of $167,000 In Welfare Benefits

So many people really need government assistance and these two lowlifes were just living it up. Rich Couple Received Welfare Benefits How long did they think they could trick the government before the jig was up? According to Raw Story: A Minnesota couple who owned a yacht, rented a luxurious home on Lake Minnetonka, and had about $3 million in the bank has been charged with welfare fraud. Authorities said Andrea and Colin Chisholm misled benefit workers for years as they cashed more than $167,000 in welfare checks for food, medical bills, and job training between 2005 and 2012. They had received benefits from Minnesota agencies while living for two years in Florida, reported the Minnesota Star Tribune, where they also obtained welfare benefits. Medica fraud investigators suspected wrongdoing when they learned the couple lived in a lakeside home and had spent part of their $60,000 in medical claims for massages and spa visits. Freeman said “Lord and Lady Chisholm” had been cut off at one point but managed to get back into the welfare system. If they’re convicted, the couple faces a maximum 20-year prison term and $100,000 fine, but the charge also carries the possibility of probation – although Freeman doubted a judge would allow them to avoid prison. But first authorities must find the couple, who vacated their home and pulled their son from school. Investigators believe they’ve gone somewhere warm, if not out of the country entirely. The Republicans might want to reconsider who the “takers” are in this country. Shutterstock

Mo Money: KimYe Opt For Personal Cash, Refuse Charity Donation As Settlement In Leaked Proposal Video Lawsuit

Kim and Kanye said phuck you charity donation. Kim And Kanye Refuse Charity Donation To Settle Lawsuit With YouTube Founder Guess Kanye is mad he lost that 250K to that “n****r lover” heckler he beat up. He’s looking to recoup that gwap. According to Radar Online: It’s all about the kash with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West! The engaged couple are locked in a nasty legal battle with YouTube founder Chad Hurley and RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that they’re gunning for a huge settlement FOR THEMSELVES and have turned down his offer to donate a sizeable sum to a charity. The Yeezus rapper and his sex tape star fiancée sued Hurley over claims that his leaked video of their over-the-top engagement threatened their bottom line, and apparently they’re not considering settling for anything less than a direct personal payment. “Chad wanted to make a donation to a charity just to make it go away,” a source close to the situation exclusively tells Radar “But Kim and Kanye didn’t want the money to go to a charity, they want it to go directly to them.” He will face off with the power couple in court on November 17, Judge Ruth Kwan ruled on Friday, unless they can reach a settlement before then. “Chad really doesn’t think he did anything wrong,” the source tells Radar. Do you think Kim and Kanye are selfish for wanting to keep all the money for themselves?

Chris Brown "Loyal" Music Video Released; Does Singer Get VEVO in Jail?

Chris Brown’s new music video for “Loyal” was released today, even with the singer currently in solitary confinement and unable to watch it … bummer man. The video, featuring Lil Wayne and Tyga with a cameo from Usher, is all about … loyalty. It shows Breezy singing the refrain, “These hoes ain’t loyal.” “I don’t f–k with broke b!tches,” he adds, presumably because them hoes be hangin’ around just lookin’ to get wit him for his money. Or so we’re assuming. There’s also a baby tiger on a leash in the clip for some reason. Chris Brown – Loyal ft. Lil Wayne, Tyga Whether these hoes be “Loyal” or not, his loyal fans will be happy to know that the track will be on Brown’s album X , which is finally set to be released in May. He has said that X will be his last album, but we doubt this. Unless he’s sent away to prison for years (which actually isn’t out of the realm of possibility), Brown is likely to make more music, if only to pay legal bills. Chris Brown was jailed last week after getting kicked out of rehab and violating probation as a result, and remains in custody until his April assault trial. His lawyer is said to be working on a deal to pay off the accuser and get the case dropped, thus getting Chris’ probation reinstated and the star released. Until that happens, which could be any moment or not at all, he’ll remain in solitary confinement, feeling like a caged animal and hating jail so hard. But hey, at least the new video’s out. #TEAMBREEZY

Apollo Taught Her: Cynthia Bailey’s Modeling School Accused Of Fraud And Scamming Atlanta Charity

Say it ain’t so Cynthia ! Cynthia Bailey’s Modeling School Accused Of Fraud One of the Real Housewives of Atlanta is setting the record straight after a customer alleged fraud . The complaint? Her company is accepting money for services but the company isn’t keeping up its end of the bargain. Via CBS Atlanta reports: Cynthia Bailey has graced the covers of magazines. Each week, you can find the supermodel on Bravo’s Real Housewives of Atlanta. Her company, the Bailey Agency School of Fashion, has been featured on the show and it helps hook aspiring models. “Cynthia Bailey is on the Atlanta Housewives and my daughter talks about her and my granddaughter talks about her,” Dorothy Lewis said. Lewis’ granddaughter is 7-year-old Paris Davis. “She’s bubbly, loves playing and she loves singing, dancing and likes modeling, very talkative,” Lewis said. Anytime Paris takes a picture, “she does her own poses,” Lewis said. So after seeing Bailey on Real Housewives of Atlanta, Lewis looked up her agency and found a photo contest for babies and kids. “The only thing I had to do was submit her photo and then I had to submit an entry fee on the website,” Lewis explained. Lewis paid $20 to enter Paris into the “big kid” category for the month of January. The Bailey Agency promise? Each month a winner will be chosen in each category with the winners featured on TheBaileyAgencySchoolofFashion.com. “To me it’s like playing the lottery. Your chances are slim but what if? That would be exciting if you win,” Lewis said. The problem? The Bailey Agency hasn’t updated the winners since October 2013, but the site has continued to collect money. “It’s just not right to be advertising that you’re going to do one thing and take people’s money from around the country and you’re not following through on what you’re saying,” Lewis said. On top of that, until CBS46 started asking questions, the website stated “a portion of the proceeds … will be donated to the Atlanta Diaper Relief.” The nonprofit folded six months ago. “It’s like false advertisement,” Lewis said. CBS46 took the concerns to Bailey. “We didn’t even realize it folded until we reached out to her to let her know we were going to be changing it over,” Bailey said. The agency now gives a portion to Kile’s World, the foundation started by Tameka Foster Raymond in honor of her late son. And the contest? The agency collected 79 entries and $1,580 while the winners weren’t being updated. But the contest is supposed to pay out $450 a month in prizes, in this case, losing money. “Do you have anything to say to those moms or those grandmothers who were concerned their money wasn’t being used for what it was intended?” reporter Jennifer Mayerle asked. “First of all I think that’s a very negative approach to the whole situation, that’s not like their $20 wasn’t being used for what it was intended for. It’s just a matter of us being in transition on our side and we were just behind on the website. But now it’s updated,” Bailey said. Bailey said she will be more diligent about the contest in the future and will issue a refund to anyone who is unhappy about the way it was handled. Bailey also gave CBS46 the following statement: “The program is not revenue driven. The Bailey Babies Contest was created in the spirit of giving moms with young babies a platform to give their children exposure. This was a fun & inexpensive way to involve young babies in the school since they are obviously too young to participate in any of the other school programs that are offered. The program was also developed for the purpose of extending our brand out to people outside of the Atlanta area that support and want to be a part of The Bailey Agency. I apologize for any negligence on my part as far as my staff not keeping the website properly updated. I hope after receiving all the correct and updated information from me personally, you can appreciate the sincerity of my intentions. I appreciate you for bringing this important matter to my attention. I can assure The Bailey Babies mommies that this will not be an issue going forward. Thank you for providing the opportunity to address this matter.” Does anyone one RHOA have their money straight?!?

Ho Sit Down: Rihanna’s Ex-Accountant Says She’s A “Financially Impaired Moron” Who Fawked Up Her Own Gwap!

Rih’s accountant says she almost went bankrupt trying to keep up with the Kardashians. Rihanna’s Ex-Accountant Fires Back Against Lawsuit Claims There’s no future in ya frontin’, Robyn. According to TMZ: The gloves are off in the fight between Rihanna and her ex-accountant — the money man is now firing back in their legal battle over $9 million the singer claims she lost on his watch … calling her a financially impaired moron. Accountant Peter Gounis filed the response to Rihanna’s lawsuit, insisting he was hired to record and manage her financial accounts — NOT give her rudimentary spending advice. Gounis claims Rihanna blew through millions of her own money by going on endless shopping sprees — buying roomfuls of designer shoes, clothes, and jewelry — and throwing extravagant parties for herself. He also claims she bailed on an expensive tour to shoot “Battleship,” which turned out to be a massive failure. And despite Rihanna’s accusations, Gounis insists he never directed Rihanna to buy a dilapidated house. But even ignoring all that, Gounis says, “Was it really necessary to tell her that if you spend money for things you will end up with the things, and not the money?” Gounis wants Rihanna’s lawsuit thrown out. Sounds like she balled so hard that her creditors couldn’t find her. That isht cray. Splash News
