IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY

Kenan Thompson – 1978 ATL

 Last night, Paula Abdul and Holly Robinson Peete were among the many celebrities that attended the dinner held to bring attention to the Lupus disease. Lupus affects over two millions Americans, 90% of which are women. Lupus is a leading cause of stroke, kidney and premature cardiovascular disease in young women and there is no cure.

Some of the other people who were in attendance were Wayne Newton, Julie Benz, Taraji P. Henson, Michael Chiklis, Paula Abdul, Jay Mohr, Nikki Cox, John Salley, Shondrella Avery, CCH Pounder, Mario Van Peebles, Melissa Joan Hart, Bernie Brillstein, Marla Maples, Howie “D” Dorough, Rick and Kathy Hilton.

Carol’s Daughter has agreed to donate a portion of the proceed from the purchase of “Candy Paint” towards finding a cure for Lupus. 

You can’t fire your mom on the week of Mother’s Day!! Now what kind of gift can he get her? Usher confirmed yesterday that his mother is no longer managing his career like she has since he was a teen. He says they remain on great terms, but he wanted his mother to just be his mother and not his manager. Yeah, right!

It has been reported that Usher’s mom, Jonetta Patton, does not like his fiancee Tameka Foster and Usher becoming engaged she did not agree with. Tameka has four kids and was only divorced in the last couple of months.

Some also believe that Usher is pissed that his mom is dating a guy that is 36 and she is 50.

Not sure what the real reason is, but changing up your manager when you have been as successful as Usher, seems weird. The saying, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” comes to mind. It seems pretty believable that there is some dislike between his mom and fiancee that led to this. How long before his mom sues him for a couple of millions dollars in money she was not paid?

May 8th is the birthday of boxing legend Sonny Liston.  Charles “Sonny” Liston was born in St. Francis County, Arkansas in 1932.  His professional boxing career  consisted of 54 fights. 

Two of his most memorable bouts are: The 1962 knock out of Floyd Patterson to win the World Heavyweight Title, and the 1965 bout against Muhammad Ali in which Liston was knocked out.

 

If you thought I was joking in my review about the number of people that came out to see Spiderman, well I wasn’t.  Click here for review. 

This weekend Spiderman broke all opening weekend number by grossing over 151 million dollars.

If you are 1 of the 4 people that haven’t seen this movie then I suggest you get stop waiting on that quality bootleg to come across you and hit the show.

In the latest version of I’m a celebrity busted…EVE gets hit with a DUI charge.  She posted her own $30,000  bond and is set to appear in court in mid-May.  The wild part of the story is after her arrest she had a visit from Sean Penn.  He offereed to post her bond because the 2 had been partying together that night.

We will keep you posted…

I don’t know why those pictures below remind me of when Mike Tyson was always getting photographed  and they put the coat over his head.  Guess we’re all dumb and can’t tell who that is under the coat.  Do all celebs that get in trouble have to buy a magical coat?
