Flo-Rida Says Baby Mama Is Lying, He’s No Dead Beat Recently, a woman claiming to have a 7-month-old child with rapper Flo-Rida put him on blast. She alleged that Flo was trying to dip out on his child support tab. She said the entertainer has dealt with the baby much, at all. She filed court documents to get a paternity test and he refuses to recognize that he is the father. Flo-Rida is now telling TMZ the mother of his child is spreading bogus information. Flo says that he’s been making $5k monthly payments to Alexis Adams, the mother of his son Zahyr, consistently. TMZ reports Flo and Alexis both agreed on the amount, but he thinks she’s being greedy by asking a judge to force him to pay more. Flo-Rida also throws in, the two were never a couple. Apparently Alexis stays in New York where the rent is higher than Wiz Khalifa and needs more cash for their child that has ‘special needs’. Hopefully they get it together. Splash News Image
It’s a wrap—again… Larsa Pippen And Scottie Pippen Going Through With Divorce In case it wasn’t already clear before, Larsa and Scottie Pippen are indeed a wrap—for real this time. As previously reported the couple’s decided to pull the plug on their nearly 20-year marriage even after months of trying to reconcile. Now more details are being released. According to E! News , Larsa’s the one who ultimately decided that it was over and even a recent family trip to Universal Studios couldn’t save the relationship. “Larsa has been unhappy for a while now,” an insider explains to E!. “She’s just not happy with him. It’s definitely over.” Fortunately, the Scottie, 51, and Larsa, 42, remain on good terms. In fact, the amicable exes visited Universal Orlando Resort last Thursday and Friday with their children: Scottie Pippen Jr., 15, Preston Pippen, 14, Justin Pippen, 9, and Sophia Pippen, 8. And it was during that very visit that Scottie and Larsa realized it was time to move on. Despite Larsa and Scottie’s failed family trip, the two apparently still live together–roommate style and Larsa’s keeping that big ole rock she was seen wearing around the time she and her hubby were on the mend. “For now, the exes still live under the same roof—though they sleep in separate rooms. As for the ring Larsa was photographed rocking right after she reunited with Scottie, the insider says, “That’s her ring; she keeps it. It’s the same ring she’s always had. She just changed the setting.” Too bad they couldn’t work it out—surely a certain dirty Sprite sipping rapper isn’t to blame. Right??? Right. Splash News

Lisa Marie Presley’s Children Taken By CPS Things have taken a serious turn for Michael Jackson’s ex-wife Lisa Marie Presley in the proceedings for her divorce from her fourth husband. The socialite’s 8-year-old twin daughters have been taken custody by California child protective services , after disturbing photos of children were discovered on a computer belonging to their father, Presley’s estranged husband Michael Lockwood. Lisa Marie was reportedly “shocked and horrified and sick to [her] stomach” over the discovery. According to the filing (via People ): “Respondent [Lockwood] was discovered to have hundreds of inappropriate photos of children and is facing allegation of sexual abuse and neglect. While Respondent has yet to be convicted of crimes related to his possession of these photos, that he possessed them is documented evidence of conduct that has destroyed the mental or emotional calm of Petitioner [Presley]… Accordingly, Respondent’s request for spousal support must be denied by reason of his conduct alone.” YIKES. Lisa Marie also suspects that there may be more disgusting material looming on his other devices, according to the filing. “I have no idea what else may be on those devices and fear that there are more and worse images and evidence in these un-analyzed devices.” Hopefully the kids are unharmed and can be kept safe while all of this is sorted out…
Celebrities arrive for the 59th Grammy Awards Red Carpet held at the Staples Center in Downtown LA.Pictured: Fat Joe and Remy Ma Remy Ma Opens Up About Fertility Struggle Rapper Remy Ma said she still plans to conceive a child with husband Papoose after suffering a traumatic miscarriage last year. “On Love & Hip Hop, me and my husband chose to share our story with our loss,” Remy told us at Mona Scott Young’s birthday dinner Feb. 15 before heading to LA to promote her new album, “Plata O Plomo,” a collaboration with Fat Joe. “I actually had an ectopic pregnancy, where you’re pregnant, but it’s not in the womb. It’s happening in your fallopian tubes, which are not designed to carry a baby.” Remy said she first suffered an ectopic pregnancy when she was just 17 – and almost died from internal bleeding. “I didn’t even know I was pregnant,” she said. “They did a tubal ligation, where they took a tube out, but I still had one fallopian tube left, and they said it would be hard for me to have a baby.” But her diagnosis didn’t stop her from delivering a healthy son, now 16, and trying for a baby with Papoose. She said the night she lost her baby, she had a big concert and went on despite feeling unwell. The pain gradually got worse, and Papoose ended up taking her to the hospital in the middle of the night. “I kind of knew after they did the sonogram,” Remy said. “They (the hospital staff) started moving differently. The nurse was making phone calls. I was like, ‘What’s happening?’” Her remaining fallopian tube burst because of the baby, and after surgery, doctors told her that she wouldn’t be able to conceive naturally. Now, she said she’s working with a medical team to complete a round of IVF once she fully recovers from the ectopic pregnancy, and she said she hopes one day that the expensive treatment is accessible to all women. “So many women have been through the same thing, and I realized that in-vitro is minimum $15,000 or $20,000, easily,” Remy told BOSSIP. “There’s no cheaper route. I have the money, so I didn’t think about it, but the average woman that this happens to doesn’t have that kind of money.” The Grammy-nominated artist added: “So, a girl like me, who wasn’t blessed to become a rapper or have the salary that I have, if this happens to her, she has to go through life without having any children. And I think it’s so crazy that you can use your health insurance, not to have a child, but to have an abortion. I don’t understand that.” But besides making babies and music, Remy said she is also working on a relationship book with Papoose. “Her’s going to give his perspective andI’m going to give mine,” she said. “Everyone is always asking us, how do you guys do it? How do I find a man like that…It’s really based on how we treat each other, how we feel about each other and how we keep our relationship together.”
Master P’s New Relationship With Surgery CEO Looks like all of Master P’s money woes from his last marriage caused him look for a lady with her own bank this time around. According to TMZ , Percy Miller has been quietly coupled up with millionaire Simin Hashemizadeh, CEO at South Pacific Surgery Center in Beverly Hills.

But now, things have taken a turn for the serious, and these two are going strong . The millionairess seems pretty taken with her Ice Cream Man…so much so that, in return for making her say “uhhhh” on the regular, Simin is making it rain on Master P. For V-Day alone, she surprised him with a $270k white 2016 Rolls Royce Ghost, to match hers of course, and a pair of $50k diamond earrings.
