The “I’m Every Woman” singer filed a petition for appointment of guardianship last week ,claiming she has already “assumed on a day-to-day basis the role of the child’s parent fulfilling both the child’s physical and psychological needs for care and affection.” Chaka claims the child’s mother who lives in the same house is incapable of caring for the girl because of a “heavy involvement in drugs.” Chaka’s sister Tammy McCrary who was also awarded custody,filed an additional statement in the petition, claiming Chaka’s son “also uses and abuses drugs and other illegal substances.” The judge temporarily granted the petition for custody on September 6th … and extended it today.

After just the second meeting of the offseason, the NBA players and owners had a meeting that seemed to go nowhere. Yikes. The most recent meeting that took place on Tuesday has both sides basically agreeing that they probably won’t have a deal in place in time to have the season start by its regularly scheduled October beginning. Here’s what the Commish David Stern had to say: ““Well, we did not have a great day, I think it’s fair to say that,” Commissioner David Stern said. “On the other hand, we did say that it is our collective task to decide what we want on the one hand on each side, and two, what each side needs if we choose to work ourselves in such a way as to have the season start on time. That’s still our goal.”” Yeah, but that’s probably not happening. Derek Fisher had a reality check for that a$$: “I think coming out of today, obviously because of the calendar, we can’t come out of here feeling as though training camps and the season is going to start on time at this point.” The main issue comes from how much the players are willing to split with owners and it’s all coming down to $7.8 billion on the table! Every meeting has been largely unproductive, so we’re probably looking at a shortened season. Sigh.
This dude sounds like he lost his mind to that yayo ! Self-styled “King of All Pimps” Jason Itzler — newly busted on his latest round of escort-service charges — insisted in a bizarre court appearance yesterday that he had procured a female “companion” for a strung-out-on-heroin Billy Ray Cyrus at the Trump International Hotel this summer. The kooky account of a drug-drenched hoedown — which four law-enforcement sources told The Post was an utter hallucination — came as a Manhattan judge suggested Itzler have his head examined and ordered $200,000 bail. “I sent a companion, a non-sexual companion — a baby sitter, not a prostitute — to Billy Ray Cyrus, who was staying at the Trump International Hotel,” Itzler announced in court, when allowed to make a statement. “He made it clear he was not interested in sex,” Itzler said of the country-pop singer, who skyrocketed to fame 20 years ago with the hit “Achy Breaky Heart.” “They decided in front of me to get and use heroin for the first time in their life. He wanted to die!” Itzler claimed. “This is Miley Cyrus’ father, by the way,” Itzler added. The winking Clown Pimp also claimed to Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Thomas Farber that he is a victim of a conspiracy by the Bloomberg administration and Disney to suppress the celebrity overdose. But the account is achy-shaky, said lead prosecutor Eugene Hurley. “Billy Ray Cyrus has nothing to do with this,” the prosecutor said in court. “He’ll be happy to hear that,” deadpanned the judge. Law-enforcement sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Itzler was indeed involved in an overdose and prostitution “incident” at the Trump International Hotel — but with a client who only looked like Billy Ray Cyrus. “It’s a mistaken identity,” said one source. “There was an incident that was the genesis of this investigation, but Billy Ray Cyrus was not involved — not even as a soundtrack.” Itzler also claimed credit for getting Love Gov Eliot Spitzer removed from office in 2008 — insisting Spitzer had been a client of his. Then he interrupted his own rant a couple of times to use an asthma inhaler, complaining that he was just rattled by the prosecutor, whom he called a “monster.” The prosecutor, in turn, had some choice words for Itzler. “The defendant is a notorious pimp,” Hurley told the judge in asking for high bail. “He calls himself the king of all pimps. He has ‘King Pimp’ tattooed on his arm. He’s been on television talking about being a pimp.” Itzler, who has served time for ecstasy smuggling and for his 2007 conviction for running the NY Confidential escort agency downtown, is now charged with running a new company, Rockstar Models & Party Girls, as a Manhattan-based ring that on at least three occasions sent drugs and hookers to the Trump International Hotel. Itzler is due back in court Oct. 18; his lawyer, Kevin Canfield, said he may seek a psychiatric defense. Dayuuuuum, sounds like all kinds of ratchetry be poppin’ off at the Trump International! At least he ain’t black… right? Source

It’s been almost 20 years and poor Monica Lewinsky still hasn’t gotten over Slick Willy skeet shooting all over them thangs… She was the White House intern who found fame for all the wrong reasons. Now, 17 years later, Monica Lewinsky is still trying to play down her scandalous affair with then-President Bill Clinton. She is single, her line of handbags failed to catch on and, according to the National Enquirer, is living the life of a near recluse. Monica, 38, flits between homes in Los Angeles owned by her mother, her father and brother and an apartment in New York that is also owned by the Lewinsky family. But her life is far from a social whirl of a-list parties and she is said to spend much of her time alone. An insider told The Enquirer that Monica has given up her own place and moves between the two coasts trying to work out projects that may never get off the ground. Her apparent goal is to set up her own public relations company. The insider said: ‘Monica’s self-esteem is at an all-time low. ‘She said she’s been doing some freelance work for a friend who has a public relations company. And she’s got some family money, so that keeps her going.” Monica, apparently, is desperately trying to live down her past. The insider told the Enquirer: ‘She’s alone most of the time and is pretty much a social pariah.’ The source claims Monica has more or less given up on finding love. ‘Monica still feels like she’s the punchline to a dirty joke,’ the source said. ‘The publicity over her affair with Clinton ruined her chances of ever finding a decent guy. In June she made a rare outing with a small dinner party at Lucy’s El Adobe Cafe in Hollywood. An eyewitness told the Enquirer that gawkers at other tables were making jokes at her expense, while she looked emotionless. ‘She stared at her food throughout the dinner and uttered maybe three sentences, the eyewitness said. ‘It was a very awkward, uncomfortable evening.’ In March, MailOnline.com told how Monica is reportedly still in love with him and ‘always will be’. ‘Monica still hasn’t got over Bill and would take him back in a second,’ a friend told the Enquirer. ‘She told me: “There will never be another man in my life that could make me as happy as he did”.’ When Clinton’s memoir My Life came out in 2004, Miss Lewinsky spoke of her upset at its contents to the Daily Mail, saying rather than being a physical fling, it was a mutual relationship. ‘He could have made it right with the book, but he hasn’t. He is a revisionist of history. He has lied. ‘I really didn’t expect him to go into detail about our relationship’, she added. ‘But if he had and he’d done it honestly, I wouldn’t have minded.’ She believed he made it sound like the dalliance came only at her initiative and was purely physical. ‘He talked about it as though I had laid it all out there for the taking. I was the buffet and he just couldn’t resist the dessert.’ Clinton wrote that his affair with Monica revealed ‘the darkest part of my inner life’ and led to his temporary banishment from the White House bedroom. He said on CBS’ 60 Minutes that he became involved with Lewinsky ‘for the worst possible reason. Just because I could.’ But according to Lewinsky at the time, ‘That’s not how it was. This was a mutual relationship, mutual on all levels, right from the way it started and all the way through.’ Initially following her rise to notoriety Lewinsky tried to cash in with the handbags venture. She even appeared on Saturday Night Live and hosted a short-lived reality show Mr Personality. Then she attempted to drop out of public life. She even moved to Britain for a time to study at the London School of Economics, from where she graduated in December 2006 with a masters in social psychology. Awww Ho Sit Down! Monica can cry us a cotdamn river! She knew Bill Clinton was married when she started messing with him and she should have thought about how miserable she would be 17 years later before she started slurpin’ in the Oval Office. Take a note from Superhead and turn your dirty ho rep into some dollars — and no handbags ain’t the way. Source
‘The movie is in 3-D because the ‘Jersey Shore’ is in 3-D,’ Kal Penn jokes to MTV News in our Fall Movie Preview. By Eric Ditzian Kal Penn and John Cho in “A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas” Photo: New Line Cinema Last summer, MTV News got a very special, very twisted look at ” A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas ,” the third installment of Kal Penn and John Cho’s herbaceous buddy-comedy franchise, when we popped by the Detroit set. We can’t yet show you much of what we saw that day, but as part of our Fall Movie Preview, we’re rolling out a tasty nugget of our interview with Penn and Cho. In between cracking jokes about ’80s comedies, MTV programming and potential celebrity cameos, the duo let us know what we can expect when the new film, which focuses on the two estranged friends reuniting during the holidays, hits theaters November 4. Click for exclusive photos from Fall’s biggest flicks. MTV : So why is this movie in 3-D? Kal Penn : The movie is in 3-D because the “Jersey Shore” is in 3-D. John Cho : “Avatar” was in 3-D. I’m not in competition with “Avatar.” I’m not in competition with James Cameron. He does his thing. We do our thing. He makes cartoons. I understand he had a good year. I’m just saying, the technology isn’t his. Penn : I’m just psyched because “Goonies” was in 3-D and that’s why this is in 3-D. You’ve never seen “Goonies.” Cho : I’ve never seen “Goonies.” Penn : That is so crazy to me! That’s so nuts to me, dude. It’s egregious that you haven’t watched “Goonies.” MTV : Can we expect 3-D nakedness? Penn : Listen, you’re going to see some 3-Deeez nuts. [ Sings to the tune of Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg’s “Deez Nuuuts” ] Cho : There’s enhanced nudity. Penn : Very ma ture, the way you’re saying that. Enhanced nudity. This is not the NPR interview; this is MTV. They just got done watching Snooki get arrested. You do not have to say anything other than “3-D nuts.” MTV : Have you had time to enjoy Detroit? Cho : I’ve been buying cars. I’ve got a lot of cash, and I’m spending it on automobiles. Lots of ’97 Pontiac Firebirds. Lot of Ford Tauruses. Penn : I like shooting in Detroit. If you have not been to Detroit, you should come. People are super friendly. There are a lot of beautiful buildings, and sadly many of them are abandoned. Hopefully the city bounces back. Look at our first film: I loved shooting in Toronto, but it was still a bummer that we had to leave the United States to shoot a quintessential American road-trip comedy. Cho : Also, Toronto had so many foreigners. Penn : We were the foreigners. Toronto is in a different country. Cho : No, we’re Americans. MTV : Why have Harold and Kumar grown apart? Cho : They’re at different times in their lives. Kumar is looking for a way to stay in his younger existence, and Harold is artificially trying to be more mature and is choosing an excessively old mature friend. MTV : What can we expect in terms of romance? Penn : When the last film left off, Kumar and Vanessa were obviously very much together. Over the next six years, Vanessa moved into Kumar’s apartment. They continued their relationship. It was moving down the road toward marriage. And then Kumar lost his job. He couldn’t stop smoking weed. It wasn’t as much the weed as him completely latching on to still being frivolous and still being down for whatever and not taking Vanessa seriously and taking her for granted. So slowly after he lost Harold to Maria, he kind of grew resentful of the notion that if his best friend could go off and choose this woman over him, then maybe everyone was just out to get him. He drifted further apart from Vanessa. That’s where we pick up now. MTV : Besides Neil Patrick Harris, what celebrity cameos are in the works? Penn : Patton Oswalt, Tom Lennon, Paula Abdul, Snooki and Mayor Koch.

They could keep his name in the title, although that would just be plain misleading. As for who will step in for Reg, who has made his intentions of stepping down clear for months now, no one seems to have the slightest idea. Regis is outta here in a little more than two months . Everyone from Dancing with the Stars alum Psycho Mike Catherwood to Survivor host Jeff Probst and Howie Mandel have been mentioned. What do you think: Who should replace Regis?
By Jay Levin Here is a premise to ponder: That you were born psychic and intuitive – meaning you had extra-sensory radar that could move beyond time and space and report back with information you had not heard nor seen, tasted, smelled or touched. Every now and then you get glimmers of that psychic ability which you likely define as “intuition.” There is something you just “know” or feel. Many if not most times we dismiss this and can be heard later saying , “Oh, if I had only followed my intuition about this situation (or person).” Based on our premise, that you were born psychic – meaning with access to knowledge and information that did not come through your five senses – then those moments of intuition or psychic knowingness are not remarkable in their own right. They only stand out against a general daily life in which you normally are not in touch with this side of yourself and instead you are running on – and thinking with – other information and systems. In fact, we know from a pretty voluminous amount of research into psychic phenomenon by researchers associated with many leading universities and institutions, that psychic phenomena is NOT so unusual. Some people have an extraordinary amount of it. Others have inklings. Continuing with our premise, if you were born psychic what are the implications of this? That you must have some sort of yet unexplained receptors that allows you to read or detect subtle information fields. That those subtle information fields exist somewhere. That this must be an innate ability varying with different people. That this ability must be somewhat quashed or encouraged by the experiences in childhood, including the way you are nurtured and programmed by family, friends and community, because so many of us don’t retain much of it. That this ability is not something you created. That if it is innate and lying dormant in you, there may be ways to reclaim that ability by clearing away the programmed, reactive and emotional blocks to accessing it. That the blocks to it can be cleared given that some people become more intuitive and psychic as they age or train themselves differently. Enter now certain types of life coaches. Our job is to teach you to get the emotional and psychological blocks out of the way so that this deeper inner knowing element of yourself can come forward – and it is deeper and wiser than the word “psychic” implies. Some of us like myself also teach methods of more readily accessing your deeper knowingness, intuition and psychic reality. In fact, I have taken groups of people each of whom has proclaimed to have no psychic abilities whatever, and shown them with one simple exercise how much they actually know about a stranger in the room with them. Why remove the blocks and regain this aptitude? Because the “thinking” and chattering parts of your mind make so many mistakes. Also because by your believing this mind activity is you and by then giving it so much authority over your decisions, you block a remarkably different (and more success-inducing) way of knowing, understanding and moving through life. And if you want to know more about what I mean by that or how you got to be who you are now, check my Free Download lecture and earlier blogs. **** J ay Levin, the founder and former Editor-in Chief of the LA Weekly newspaper, has been a highly successful life and relationship coach and trainer for 12 years.
