Bobbi Kris is fed up with her grandmother! Bobbi Kristina Vows To Cut Cissy Off Financially Sources claim Whitney Houston’s daughter Bobbi Kristina is so angry over her grandmother Cissy Houston’s new book ‘Remembering Whitney’ that she’s swearing to cut Cissy off financially… Via The Globe : “[Bobbi Kristina] believes Cissy cashed in on her beloved mom’s death by writing the book. She says it stirs up rumors Whitney had a lesbian relationship with her former personal assistant, Robyn Crawford. “And she deeply resents the way Cissy dishes dirt on her father, Bobby Brown, whom her grandmother blames for Whitney’s drug addiction problems.” Furious Krissi reportedly hung up when Cissy called to patch things up. “When Cissy phoned to say she never intended to hurt Bobbi Kristina or tarnish Whitney’s image, Krissi told her she never wanted to speak to her again — then slammed the phone down,” says the source. The angry youngster has also vowed to cut her Gospel-legend granny out of any part of Whitney’s $20 million estate, says the source. Bobbi Kristina stands to inherit her mom’s fortune in 2014 on her 21st birthday. [Bobbi Kristina] believes Cissy and the rest of the family “want to control her life and her fortune,” says the second source. “She’s vowed never to let that happen — and won’t give them a dime of her mother’s money. She says the book Cissy wrote was the last straw — just another attempt to cash in on her mom’s hard work and talent — and now her death!” How can she know the book is disrespectful if she hasn’t even read it? Bobbi Kris is still grieving but so is her grandmother (probably more than her). Maybe this book is away for Cissy to find some closure in her daughters death, and yes make money. Do you think Bobbi Kris should cut off Cissy??
This guy can’t just can’t win … Police Called On Terrell Owens For Stalking Woman Via TMZ reports: Terrell Owens was confronted by the LAPD around 4:30 AM Friday morning … after cops got a call that he’d been banging on a woman’s door for roughly 3 hours and refused to leave … TMZ has learned. Owens was NOT arrested … but according to law enforcement sources, the woman who lives in the home says she couldn’t get the guy to go away after she made it clear he wasn’t welcome. When cops arrived to the scene, the woman told police she was not afraid for her safety … she just wanted him off the property ASAP. Cops passed the message along to the ex-NFL star … who obliged … and just like that, the crisis was over. We reached out to T.O. for comment — so far, no word back. T.O probably brought her the house when he was getting paid but now the cash is slow she’s acting like she don’t know him! You must be one broke baller when even the groupies and hoes are calling the police on you.
The Bachelor axe fell on Sarah Herron this week, as Sean Lowe didn’t even wait until the rose ceremony to send her on her way after a group date. Needless to say, she was taken by surprise. “I didn’t expect to go home. I was caught off guard,” she said. “I had every intention of taking him home to Colorado and introducing him to my family.” Was it the baby photos that backfired? “I don’t think that it would have changed Sean’s mind whether I showed him the photos on night one or in the fantasy suite,” Herron tells People . “He knew how he felt about me and the others, [however] the photos probably made him realize he needed to be honest sooner rather than later.” Did the first-date curse rear its ugly head? “Getting the first one-on-one date – as magical as it was – was a curse,” she said. “We had an amazing connection right off the bat and then I had to sit back.” “I had to wait for him to develop relationships with the other women … It became more and more difficult to sustain a connection. Feelings fizzle” “It was very sad and confusing … I had very strong feelings for Sean. It’s human nature to feel embarrassed when you’re dumped on television.” “I’m not mad at Sean. I respect that he didn’t string me along. We all know he is looking for his wife and can’t blame him for not feeling it with me.” As for who’s best for Lowe going forward? The Bachelor spoilers have a lot to say about that. What about Sarah, who knows the women fairly well? “I’m starting to see the chemistry between Sean and [ Catherine Giudici ],” she says. “She was a bit of a dark horse. She’s a down-to-earth, real girl so it warms my heart to see the undeniable special connection between them.” “I always saw his connection with Lesley. Lindsay is a tiny ball of fun. AshLee has the biggest heart, but she’s not a goofball like I think Sean is looking for.” “Desiree is spunky and very real.” That about covers everybody left … well, with one exception. Tierra LiCausi ? She’s not feeling the love between Sean and this season’s villain. “I don’t see them being much of a match at all. I think he’s probably very surprised watching [the show] because I don’t think he saw what we did.”
Forget Steven Tyler in drag . Get ready for Steven Tyler in front of the Hawaii Senate Judiciary Committee, testifying in support of proposed legislation! Hawaii legislators have put forth the Steven Tyler Act, which aims to halt rampant, intrusive and harassing celebrity gossip photographer behavior. The Aerosmith frontman and stars such as Britney Spears , Avril Lavigne, and Ozzy Osbourne and his family, have come out in support of the proposed bill. The state Senate Judiciary Committee will conduct a hearing on the bill in Honolulu, and Tyler himself, who initiated the bill, is expected to attend. The legislation aims to impose stricter penalties on paparazzi who harass celebs, and would enable stars to seek damages from those who intrude. The bill also expands its definition of privacy invasion to encompass not only physical trespassing but also the use of technology to invade celebs’ privacy. The proposed bill already has Hollywood rallying behind it. “The paradise of Hawaii is a magnet for celebrities who just want a peaceful vacation,” Steven Tyler, who has a house in Maui, said in a statement. “As a person in the public eye, I know the paparazzi are there and we have to accept that,” added the rock star, noting that there still should be boundaries. “But when they intrude into our private space, disregard our safety and the safety of others, that crosses a serious line that shouldn’t be ignored.”
Prince Harry’s military tour of duty was no joke. Upon returning from his five-month stint in Afghanistan, he was asked (yes) about his naked photo scandal , but also about killing Taliban insurgents. Which he did . The 28-year-old Apache helicopter pilot confirmed to the British media that he and his fellow soldiers killed Taliban fighters during his deployment. “To take a life to save a life,” the World’s Top Bachelor said. “That’s what it revolves around, I suppose. If there’s people who are trying to do bad stuff to our guys, then we’ll take them out of the game.” Scary, but candid. Harry was stationed at Camp Bastion, a British base in Helmand province, southern Afghanistan. He flew scores of missions in support of ground troops. We’re glad Prince William’s little brother is out of harm’s way, and hope for an end to the violence and for the safety of all those serving and living there.
Homie got Pacquiao’ed Seattle Mom Beats Boyfriend Unconscious With Baby Strapped To Her Via SeattlePI A Seattle woman accused of beating her boyfriend into unconsciousness while their child was strapped to her chest has been charged with assault. King County prosecutors contend Sharee N. Seminole attacked her newborn baby’s father following an argument at their Seattle home on Jan. 6. Seminole, 25, is also alleged to have bitten a firefighter and threatened to kill a police officer while fighting them – with her infant daughter still attached to her – during her arrest. At 5:40 p.m. the day of her arrest, Seminole and the man were standing near the intersection of 25th Avenue South and South Jackson Street when Seminole yelled at her boyfriend. The couple’s 2-week-old baby was in a carrier strapped to Seminole at the time. Here’s the play-by-play of the fade. Weighing in at 270 pounds, Seminole was able to throw her boyfriend to the ground, a Seattle detective told the court, recounting witness statements. Several residents witnessed the incident. Seminole then began kicking the man in the chest, Senior Deputy Prosecutor Stephanie F. Guthrie told the court. Seminole, the prosecutor went on, “continued to scream at the victim and then began stomping on his face.” The defendant stomped on the man’s face at least eight times, knocking him out while seriously injuring his face, Guthrie alleged. Confronted by a witness, Seminole asked “You know how many times he’s kicked me?” before breaking off her attack, the detective said in court documents. Seminole left the scene before police arrived. According to charging documents, she was arrested after leaving a nearby convenience store, where she’d bought a bag of Funyuns. LMFAO! What the hell does Funyuns have to do with ANYTHING?! This girthy heffa wasn’t done there though, her reign of terror continued when the cops showed up. Writing the court, the detective said Seminole was belligerent when confronted by officers. Her speech slurred, Seminole refused to cooperate with police and struggled with officers even though her newborn daughter was still strapped to her chest. “Two officers started to escort her to a patrol car but she immediately stiffened and grabbed the baby carrier,” the detective told the court. “Fearing for the safety of the baby, officers tried to free the baby but Seminole put up a huge fight.” Seminole then bit a firefighter and attempted to kick another during the arrest, the detective continued. Later, after being placed in a holding cell, Seminole is alleged to have mouthed “I’m gonna kill you” to a police officer. Isn’t the kush legal in Seattle now? Maybe Big Bertha need to sit her azz down and take a toke or two. Image via ShutterStock
Dear Bossip , I always giggle and agree completely with you in all the relationship advice you dish out. I enjoy the “bar none, fades all” way telling folks where to go and how to get there. So, I need you to give me the bidness straight with no chaser to my “issue.” In 2004, I met the only man I ever wanted to marry and have children with. We were together for a total of 3 ½ years. We have a very spiritual connection, not religious, but very connected. We understand each other without words, we both want the same things in life and we just have so many big and small things in common. Well, during our relationship he was overseas a lot working. He would be gone between 3 – 6 months, while I stayed here in the States working and holding us down. I visited him in all the places he has worked. Okay the Obstacles: During his “vacation” time here at home he was a very busy boy! When I met him in 2004 he had 1 son. When we broke up he had a total of four kids: 1 son and 3 girls. He had 2 children with one of his “side chicks”. He does not have any children by me and I don’t have any children to this day. I was pregnant by him twice but I refuse to be a “baby momma” and we made the choice to terminate both. He also got into some legal trouble and put on probation. While on probation he went back overseas to work. We have gotten into it, physically, before, about 3 time total and it wasn’t all his fault either. I had to get away from him and that treatment before I started to doubt myself. Well, we have been apart for 4 years now. We have kept in touch a little. I would hear from him every 3 – 6 months while he was overseas. A year ago he decided to “come home” aka answer for the probation violation. He is currently in prison. He called me when he was first incarcerated and being the person I am I answered the phone, been there for him every step of the way and visited him when he was near. I have been single the entire 4 years since this relationship because it left me very emotionally unavailable and I just could not meet a guy who is worthy or that I have a connection with. I was enjoying the “love em & leave em” lifestyle until September. I met a guy (younger) who is just so cool. We have no problems, we communicate well, he is smart and worthy. I like this person but I’m not sure how much yet. And, my new boo works out-of-town so I’m apprehensive about another long-distance relationship. The question: My old boo will be released within the month or early next month. My new boo is wanting to take things up a notch. The old boo wants to get out and make things official, start a life and family together. We have good and bad history together but he is still the only man I ever wanted to marry and have children with. He will do anything for me and give me anything I can ask for. He has treated me like a queen in the past and honestly, I could not be the confident woman I am today if he did not gift me with the experiences I have been blessed to have. I have always said “I don’t go back, I only move forward,” so, what should I do? I don’t want to lose this new boo but I have lingering feeling for old boo. And I would hate to kick a recently released man while he is down. What to do? – Too Boo’d Up Dear Ms. Too Boo’d Up , Chile, you women will learn in this New Year that trying to raise up a man while he is down will only bring you down. In order to bring him up, you have to get down and dirty with him, and, unless you want to revisit the gutter, then I suggest you keep your red bottoms from the mud and keep it moving. Why go back? Girl, the man had three children with other women when you were together. So, according to my reasoning he’s not faithful. If he cheated then, he will cheat again. Next, he’s in and out of trouble, i.e., he is prison because of his probation violation of leaving the state and going overseas without permission. He obviously hasn’t learned his lesson because the first time he got into trouble he would have followed things to the “T” about his probation terms and did what he was supposed to do. Thus, because he can’t follow instructions, then this should let you know that he is going to do what he wants to do anyway. If he can’t adhere to his probation terms, then how the hell do you expect for him to deal with his parole terms. Yes, ma’am, when he is released from prison he is going to be on parole. He won’t be able to do anything without reporting to his parole officer. And, it’s going to be difficult for him to find a job. So, you want a man on parole, with no job, no income, and not contributing to your home IN YOUR HOME!?! And, talkin’ ‘bout he wants to start a family. Uhm, no ma’am. And, the only reason he is reaching out to you is because you are the one constant and stable thing in his life. He needs a place to live when he gets out on parole. He needs someone to vouch for him, and be responsible for him when he gets released. I bet he didn’t tell you that tidbit of information. Also, he needs to get a job, and pay restitution. He can’t do all of that with his baby momma’s because they are not going to put up with him. As soon as he gets out he has to pay child support, IMMEDIATELY! Honey, you’re the independent, care-free, and probably least drama free of his other options. I’m telling you to not be his option. Stop being his scapegoat. He got himself into this situation, so let him be man enough to get himself out of it and deal with the consequences he created. And, chile, puhlease. Stop answering his calls and running up your phone bill, and putting money on his books. I know you are sending money orders for his books and sending love letters. I ain’t no fool, and neither should you. Girl, move on, and as you’ve stated, “I don’t go back, I only move forward.” Please move forward. Don’t let your torrid and fractured past create a torrid and fractured future. He is not worth the investment. He is not worth your time or energy. He proved that when you were together previously. Nothing is going to change. It’s just prison talk he is filling your head with. Girl, don’t fall for it. It’s prison psychology 101. All of a sudden he wants to get his life together, and be the man you want him to be, but as soon as he gets his freedom, he running like a southern slave seeking freedom in the north. “Give him free!” LOL! Now, as far as the new boo, you have to give him a chance, and don’t make him suffer because of what your old boo has done. The new boo sounds like a good man, but if you keep comparing him to your old boo, then it is not going to work. So, completely let go of your old boo. In order to move forward you have to let go of the old. It’s 2013, a New Year, and time to release old habits, old and past boyfriends, and old and past dramas. Write him a letter and let him know that you release him. You’re done. It’s over, and you’re happy and starting life anew. It’s time for him to let you go, and for him to get his life together. You’re no longer his fall back option. You’re no longer his safety net. You’re no longer his doormat. You’ve got a new attitude and new man. So, start treating your new man with the respect, and honesty he deserves. He makes you happy, he makes you smile, and he treats you like a real woman. Girl, open your eyes and recognize the winner you have, and leave the loser where he is. – Terrance Dean Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think? Share your opinions and thoughts below!

This is totally out of character for me, but I am actually very affected by the shooting that happened Friday, which is weird as I am normally the first to mock tragedy to get a rise out of people for no reason other than personal enjoyment, laughs and giggles….but the fact that they were kids, little fucking kids and is just too fucking twisted for there to be any spin on it…even “last day of school” jokes don’t make me laugh….the whole thing makes me fucking sick to my stomach. That said, here’s an interesting article that I read earlier today – that in the wake of the events, I think is a good story, written by Liza Long, a blogger over at Anarchist Soccer Mom who will be getting a book deal now that this has gone viral…in what I think may be the first viral article…something I find relatively exciting…because it means people still read…you should read it…because guns aren’t the issue…violence behavior and mental health is…. Three days before 20 year-old Adam Lanza killed his mother, then opened fire on a classroom full of Connecticut kindergartners, my 13-year old son Michael (name changed) missed his bus because he was wearing the wrong color pants. “I can wear these pants,” he said, his tone increasingly belligerent, the black-hole pupils of his eyes swallowing the blue irises. “They are navy blue,” I told him. “Your school’s dress code says black or khaki pants only.” “They told me I could wear these,” he insisted. “You’re a stupid bitch. I can wear whatever pants I want to. This is America. I have rights!” “You can’t wear whatever pants you want to,” I said, my tone affable, reasonable. “And you definitely cannot call me a stupid bitch. You’re grounded from electronics for the rest of the day. Now get in the car, and I will take you to school.” I live with a son who is mentally ill. I love my son. But he terrifies me. A few weeks ago, Michael pulled a knife and threatened to kill me and then himself after I asked him to return his overdue library books. His 7 and 9 year old siblings knew the safety plan—they ran to the car and locked the doors before I even asked them to. I managed to get the knife from Michael, then methodically collected all the sharp objects in the house into a single Tupperware container that now travels with me. Through it all, he continued to scream insults at me and threaten to kill or hurt me. That conflict ended with three burly police officers and a paramedic wrestling my son onto a gurney for an expensive ambulance ride to the local emergency room. The mental hospital didn’t have any beds that day, and Michael calmed down nicely in the ER, so they sent us home with a prescription for Zyprexa and a follow-up visit with a local pediatric psychiatrist. We still don’t know what’s wrong with Michael. Autism spectrum, ADHD, Oppositional Defiant or Intermittent Explosive Disorder have all been tossed around at various meetings with probation officers and social workers and counselors and teachers and school administrators. He’s been on a slew of antipsychotic and mood altering pharmaceuticals, a Russian novel of behavioral plans. Nothing seems to work. At the start of seventh grade, Michael was accepted to an accelerated program for highly gifted math and science students. His IQ is off the charts. When he’s in a good mood, he will gladly bend your ear on subjects ranging from Greek mythology to the differences between Einsteinian and Newtonian physics to Doctor Who. He’s in a good mood most of the time. But when he’s not, watch out. And it’s impossible to predict what will set him off. Several weeks into his new junior high school, Michael began exhibiting increasingly odd and threatening behaviors at school. We decided to transfer him to the district’s most restrictive behavioral program, a contained school environment where children who can’t function in normal classrooms can access their right to free public babysitting from 7:30-1:50 Monday through Friday until they turn 18. The morning of the pants incident, Michael continued to argue with me on the drive. He would occasionally apologize and seem remorseful. Right before we turned into his school parking lot, he said, “Look, Mom, I’m really sorry. Can I have video games back today?” “No way,” I told him. “You cannot act the way you acted this morning and think you can get your electronic privileges back that quickly.” His face turned cold, and his eyes were full of calculated rage. “Then I’m going to kill myself,” he said. “I’m going to jump out of this car right now and kill myself.” That was it. After the knife incident, I told him that if he ever said those words again, I would take him straight to the mental hospital, no ifs, ands, or buts. I did not respond, except to pull the car into the opposite lane, turning left instead of right. “Where are you taking me?” he said, suddenly worried. “Where are we going?” “You know where we are going,” I replied. “No! You can’t do that to me! You’re sending me to hell! You’re sending me straight to hell!” I pulled up in front of the hospital, frantically waiving for one of the clinicians who happened to be standing outside. “Call the police,” I said. “Hurry.” Michael was in a full-blown fit by then, screaming and hitting. I hugged him close so he couldn’t escape from the car. He bit me several times and repeatedly jabbed his elbows into my rib cage. I’m still stronger than he is, but I won’t be for much longer. The police came quickly and carried my son screaming and kicking into the bowels of the hospital. I started to shake, and tears filled my eyes as I filled out the paperwork—“Were there any difficulties with… at what age did your child… were there any problems with.. has your child ever experienced.. does your child have…” At least we have health insurance now. I recently accepted a position with a local college, giving up my freelance career because when you have a kid like this, you need benefits. You’ll do anything for benefits. No individual insurance plan will cover this kind of thing. For days, my son insisted that I was lying—that I made the whole thing up so that I could get rid of him. The first day, when I called to check up on him, he said, “I hate you. And I’m going to get my revenge as soon as I get out of here.” By day three, he was my calm, sweet boy again, all apologies and promises to get better. I’ve heard those promises for years. I don’t believe them anymore. On the intake form, under the question, “What are your expectations for treatment?” I wrote, “I need help.” And I do. This problem is too big for me to handle on my own. Sometimes there are no good options. So you just pray for grace and trust that in hindsight, it will all make sense. I am sharing this story because I am Adam Lanza’s mother. I am Dylan Klebold’s and Eric Harris’s mother. I am Jason Holmes’s mother. I am Jared Loughner’s mother. I am Seung-Hui Cho’s mother. And these boys—and their mothers—need help. In the wake of another horrific national tragedy, it’s easy to talk about guns. But it’s time to talk about mental illness. According to Mother Jones, since 1982, 61 mass murders involving firearms have occurred throughout the country. Of these, 43 of the killers were white males, and only one was a woman. Mother Jones focused on whether the killers obtained their guns legally (most did). But this highly visible sign of mental illness should lead us to consider how many people in the U.S. live in fear, like I do. When I asked my son’s social worker about my options, he said that the only thing I could do was to get Michael charged with a crime. “If he’s back in the system, they’ll create a paper trail,” he said. “That’s the only way you’re ever going to get anything done. No one will pay attention to you unless you’ve got charges.” I don’t believe my son belongs in jail. The chaotic environment exacerbates Michael’s sensitivity to sensory stimuli and doesn’t deal with the underlying pathology. But it seems like the United States is using prison as the solution of choice for mentally ill people. According to Human Rights Watch, the number of mentally ill inmates in U.S. prisons quadrupled from 2000 to 2006, and it continues to rise—in fact, the rate of inmate mental illness is five times greater (56 percent) than in the non-incarcerated population. With state-run treatment centers and hospitals shuttered, prison is now the last resort for the mentally ill—Rikers Island, the LA County Jail and Cook County Jail in Illinois housed the nation’s largest treatment centers in 2011. No one wants to send a 13-year old genius who loves Harry Potter and his snuggle animal collection to jail. But our society, with its stigma on mental illness and its broken healthcare system, does not provide us with other options. Then another tortured soul shoots up a fast food restaurant. A mall. A kindergarten classroom. And we wring our hands and say, “Something must be done.” I agree that something must be done. It’s time for a meaningful, nation-wide conversation about mental health. That’s the only way our nation can ever truly heal. God help me. God help Michael. God help us all.
Jesus take the wheel !!! ‘ Connecticut Elementary School Shooting A lone gunman at the center of a terrifying Friday morning elementary school shooting in Newtown, Conn., has been killed, authorities say. Via USA Today : The Hartford Courant reported that shortly after 9:40 a.m., the shooter was in the main office at Sandy Hook Elementary School and at least one victim had numerous gunshot wounds. Two handguns were recovered from the scene. Mayor Mark Boughton said several victims had been taken to local hospitals. But details were sketchy. The Newtown Bee reported that a police officer carried a seriously wounded child from the building. (The Courant also said one shooter was reported dead). Groups of students — some crying, some holding hands — were being escorted away from the school by their teachers. Some students were still in the school at 10:30 a.m., after it was placed on lock down, parents said. The school is in a residential, wooded neighborhood about 90 minutes north of New York City. It has has 39 teachers and about 650 students. A reverse 911 call went out to parents warning of an incident. Parents were being reunited with children. But, NBC Connecticut reported, police are searching the area behind the school with guns drawn. The Courant said Alexis Wasik, a third-grader at the school, said police were checking everybody inside the school before they were escorted to the firehouse. “We had to walk with a partner,” said Wasik, 8. One child leaving the school said that there was shattered glass everywhere. A police officer ran into the classroom and told them to run outside and keep going until the reach the firehouse, The Courant reported. Dozens of state troopers are on the scene assisting local police. Heavily armed police gathered in front of the school around 10:45 a.m., and a number of stretchers were set up. The school superintendent’s office says the district has locked down schools as a preventive measure to ensure the safety of students and staff. State police spokesman Lt. Paul Vance says they have a number of personnel on the scene to assist. We’ll keep you updated on this developing story… AP
