Morgan Freeman & Wife Of 24 Years Divorcing!

Morgan Freeman and wife, Myrna Colly-Lee

Hot damn! The newest residents of Splitville Lane are bringing a whole lot of interesting happenings.  Sources are reporting that actor Morgan Freeman and his wife of 24 years Myrna Colly-Lee are in the midst of a divorce and, according to Morgan’s attorneys, they have been separated since December ‘07.  Wow.  Even more interesting, the pic above was actually taken just this past April at a Broadway opening.

This news comes only days after Morgan’s near death experience of a car crash in his home state of Mississippi not far from his home he owns with Myrna.  And if you’re were thinking it was suspicious (like me) that he was driving Miss Daisy’s his friend Demaris Meyer’s car with her in the passenger seat back to his home at the time of the accident…but you just didn’t think it was the time to say anything (like me again)…me thinks our suspicions have been confirmed.  At first sources said this Demaris was a friend of both Myrna and Morgan, but now sources are saying she really is just Morgan’s “friend”.  Interesting.

In good news, Morgan’s reps say he is doing much better since the accident and is now up and walking around.

Alicia Keys & Swizz Beatz Caught Together In Paris?!

Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz

This Swizz Beatz/Mashonda/Alicia Keys triangle just got a whole lot juicier.  I dropped some of this info this morning in my gossip report on Big Boy’s Morning Show…now here’s the rest.  A source who works very closely with Alicia tells TheYBF.com that AK is definitely not the good egg in this saga like we’re being led to believe.  In fact, I’m told Alicia and Swizzy were together during her concert performances in and around Paris just a few weeks ago!  According to the source, there was definitely no business need for Swizz to accompany Alicia on that leg of the trip, but the two definitely were taking in the sites together and totting around like lovers the entire time.

Oh, but there’s more.  This is all after Alicia allegedly called her whole team to a meeting a few times to tell them none of the rumors were true of her being a homewrecker in Swizz and Mashonda’s marriage.  Apparently it was just Alicia playing that smoke and mirrors game Hollywood is known so well for.  Not to mention Alicia still has not come out with an official statement saying any of the rumors of her being a homewrecker are untrue.

Lots more of this drama and statements from the source when you read the rest…

To make this situation even crazier, the source claims Swizz and Mashonda are lying about this “divorce” in order to save face for all people involved.  I hear they’re still living together and are nowhere near “separated” either.  Mashonda is completely devastated by this affair and has attempted to reach out to AK on several occasions to no avail.  I guess there was truth to what she hinted at in that Hip Hop Weekly article after all.  Here’s a snippet from my conversation I had with the source who works closely to Ms. Keys:

I was on tour with Keys for months up until her last run through France, Monaco and Italy 2 weeks ago.
The big problem I have with this situation is that Keys has made several efforts to hold private meetings with her staff, including me.  In these meetings she sits us down and gives us speeches about how none of the rumors are true and that we should all just do our work and keep the personal stuff separate. Meanwhile , I hear her screamig and arguing with Kerry (her producer/sometime boyfriend) about having Swizz at the shows. This was back in April.  Kerry hasnt been around since.  He is now totally out of the picture because of Swizz.

I am very close to another person on the tour that has been cool with Keys for years.  This person has told me how disgusted Keys’ mother is with the whole affair and how this person has overheard Keys on the phone saying “I cant go on like this, it’s ruining my name….People have to believe there is a divorce in play.” Of course she was talking to Swizz .

And about Swizzy and Alicia’s boo’d up status while in Paris a few weeks ago:
I saw Keys and Swizz on a tour at the Eiffel Tower in Paris they were acting like lovers. He had no reason to be there and he is not a part of her show. He has a huge tattoo of Mashonda’s name on his wrist.  Keys is fully aware of Mashonda being his wife.  I heard that they have actually been creeping for months since last year. She was livid with Swizz after he threw Mashonda a birthday party back in Jan . Since then hes been around Keys a whole lot more.  I just know that she is pressuring this man to leave his family so that she doesn’t have to sneak around and be called a homewrecker anymore.

I’m sure a “statement” may be released saying Swizz was never there.  The usual cover up.  *side eye* What’s sad about this, I’m told, is that Kerry was also married with a child before he got involved with Alicia…and of course she’s been accused of having interfered with him and his wife as well several years ago.  Damn!  And apparently, Alicia does not allow anyone on her team to carry cameras/take pics of her while on the road.  And now we know why.  I cross checked the places visited and names (omitted for privacy purposes) mentioned in our conversation that were connected to Alicia and Swizzy’s stay in France, and it all checks out.  So take it how you wanna.  Say it ain’t so Alicia…say it ain’t so!

Houston Rockets NBA player Tracy McGrady must pay $54,156 a year in child support payments for a daughter he fathered when he was in a committed relationship with his present wife. The amount is far less than the $204,000/year that a Bradentown woman named Pearl Vega thought would be more appropriate with McGrady’s $21.6 million salary. Pearl Vega argued to a judge back in December 2007 that she would like her daughter to have a lifestyle equal to McGrady’s other children with his wife Clarenda. Pearl says that her daughter(b. November 2005) deserves a lifestyle of tutors,private schooling,Private jets, and expensive clothes,saying that McGrady  at one time spent $45,000 per month on personal travel alone. Judge Donna Berlin,however, recently ruled that Vega just wants to enhance her own lifestyle stating that “It is inappropriate for Ms. Vega to use child support as a means to further her education when she chooses to attend college as a full-time student and expect Mr. McGrady to pay for tuition, a full-time nanny and other domestic help.”

McGrady is still married to his wife Clarenda Harris.McGrady and his wife were together eight years before marrying in 2006. The couple share a six-bedroom, 23,000-square-foot house with their children daughter Layla Clarice(born Jan 25, 2003) and a son Laymen Lamar, (born December 27, 2005).

GUY RITCHIE:I HAVE SO MUCH LOVE FOR DAVID BANDA

Filmmaker Guy Richie is overwhelmed with the love he feels for his adopted son David Banda:”Fatherhood is unbelievable. It has taken over my life.”But something else surprised me – how much you can love an adopted child, the same as you can love a biological child. I didn’t anticipate that.”

Guy Richie and his wife,singer Madonna, adopted David Banda,2 1/2, in 2006 from Malawi in Southeastern,Africa. The adoption was a highly publicized event because Malawian law requires would-be parents to reside in Malawia for one year before adopting.(wikipedia)After 20 months of waiting for the adoption to be approved,Guy and his wife Madonna were given the go-ahead to adopt little David Banda earlier this year. Banda now has a sister named Lourdes,Madonna’s first child from a previous relationship,and a brother named Rocco,11, Madonna’s second child with Guy Richie.

EXCLUSIVE:CHRIS BROWN,YOU’RE NOT THE FATHER!

A few days ago,news of singer Chris Brown fathering a baby made its way around the net. It was alleged that a woman named Michelle Gasper, a 19 year old from Tappahannock, Virginia called her local radio station last Saturday morning claiming that Chris Brown is the father of her 4-year-old son. BCK is happy to report that those rumors are false.Billy Flynn, program director of the radio station in question says:

As the program director for the only radio station in Essex county Virginia allow me to take a moment to say that no one called our station on Saturday about Chris Brown nor do we have a Maurice Hendricks employed here.

Angela Simmons & Bow Wow?

Word on the street is that rapper Bow Wow is dating Rev. Run’s daughter Angela Simmons. The two have been seen together quite a bit, but that may very well mean absolutely nothing.

Chris Brown in the “Hot Seat”

WOMAN CLAIMS SINGER CHRIS BROWN FATHERED HER 4-YEAR-OLD SON

A young woman from virgina is claiming that 19-year-old singer Chris Brown is the father to her four-year-old son. The woman named Michelle Gasper says that she and Chris dated back when they were both 14-years-old:

A Local Virginia native, Michelle Gasper, a 19 year old from Tappahannock, Virginia called her local radio station Saturday morning claiming that singer Chris Brown and herself had been in a relationship for over 2 years before he signed a record deal, and released his self-titled debut album in 2005. She claimed that the two first started dating in 2003, when they were both only 14 years old. Gasper claims that the two engaged in unprotected sex numerous times, and she had agreed with Brown to acquire in an abortion before later giving birth to her now 4 year old son, Deshante Gasper in July 2004. Gasper also claimed that her relationship with Brown had persisted well during the time he first signed a record deal with the label, Jive Records in late 2004, but his mother, Joyce Hopkins insisted that he ended the relationship with Gasper, having the fear of the public knowing of him being the father of a child, which she thought would tarnish his future music career.

Gasper cried hysterically over the Essex County radio station implying that she wanted Brown to be in their 4 year old son’s life. The radio DJ, Maurice Hendricks questioned the truthfulness of Gasper’s allegations asking her why she would choose to speak out so many years later. She then replied in saying that Brown’s mother, Joyce Hopkins had been sending her money for several years to help with her son, Deshante and to also remain silent about the situation. Gasper insisted that Brown needed to play a more fatherly role in their son’s life since he was getting older, and had begun to ask questions about his father’s existence. Gasper remained on air for about 15 minutes while Hendricks continued to try to keep her calm. So far, there has been no comment from Brown’s publicist concerning these allegations. Chris Brown first entered onto the music scene in late 2005 with his hit single, “Run It”. His debut album has gone on to sell over 2 million copies in the U.S. alone.
