Afternoon Delight: Shaunie’s New man
Shaquille On’Neal’s ex-wife Shaunie has a new man in her life. I love professional jump offs who follow the Kim Porter Jump Off Guide To Riches to a T!
Shaunie came from humble beginnings, married a professional baller, carefully stacked her chips where he wouldn’t find it, dropped a few babies for him, and when the time came she exposed his cheating ways and cashed in her chips!
Now she’s a well-respected executive producer whose highly anticipated reality TV show, ‘Basketball Wives’ premieres this Sunday, April 11 at 9 pm on VH1.
After exposing Shaq for the dog that he is, Shaunie has moved on with a fine brotha who is a part time model.
Yaz has the details courtesy of People:
Truly one mans trash is another mans treasure… Although, Shaquille O’Neal could probably care less that his Ex Shaunie has got herself a new man, since he cheated on her repeatedly throughout their marriage. Shaunie has snagged a 23 year old fine azz model named Marlon Yates. Shaunie the cougar isn’t use to NOT having a 7ft burly, guerrilla beast on her arm, so she is telling the world about the young penis in her life.. So good for her!! She talks to People Magazine about her lover. Read More…

Insider: Lance Gross Smitten With LisaRaye *UPDATED With Correction*
Scroll down for update…
According to a very reliable industry source, actor Lance Gross, who heretofore was an unknown small bit part actor until Eva Pigford stood next to him, is trying to holla at actress LisaRaye.
An insider who also attended LisaRaye’s launch party for “The Real McCoy” on Tuesday in L.A., told me exclusively that Lance was just “all over LisaRaye like a sick puppy!”
It seems like we had Lance pegged perfectly: he’s just another male whore opportunist who aligns himself with female stars who have a bigger profile than his so he can basically use them.
Fortunately, LisaRaye is too wise, experienced and smart for that. According to my insider, Lance blew up LisaRaye’s phone while she attended comedienne Neicy Nash’s 40th birthday party in L.A. in February of this year. Allegedly, LisaRaye said, “I can’t put up with this sh*t!” <~~ According to my source, this is incorrect and I misunderstood. Lance was blowing up Eva's cell phone, NOT LisaRaye's. It was Eva who said “I can’t put up with this sh*t!”.
LisaRaye did not know Lance prior to the launch party and she did not attend Niecy’s party (she had a headache).
I apologize for this error, but everything else is accurate as far as I know.
Lance finally caught up with LisaRaye at her reality show premiere launch party in L.A. on Tuesday. My spies say Lance followed LisaRaye around like a lost puppy. But LisaRaye told Lance, “For real, let’s just keep it professional. I’m not interested in dating a man who just broke up with someone who is also mainstream.”
She also told Lance she was the host of the party and she couldn’t spend all night chatting with him in a corner while ignoring her other guests. LisaRaye sets her own trends and refuses to date another woman’s leftovers.
Maybe Lance heard that LisaRaye is single again (you’ll find out who she was dating on her show, LisaRaye: The Real McCoy, which premieres tonight on TV-One).
It looks like Lance is on the prowl for a big name to hook up with to keep him relevant. too bad he struck out with LisaRaye (and there’s no telling who else). Maybe he should swallow his pride and just give Eva a call?
Tameka Foster On a Twitter Rampage
If you are a regular reader then you know that I have a no holds barred level of utter disrespect for Usher’s ex-wife, Tameka Foster. Some of you will never know the real Tameka because she’s really good at hiding her dark side behind a mask of deceit and lies. But if you really want to know the woman behind the mask, all you have to do to cross her is tell her the truth about herself.
The real Tameka surfaced on her Twitter page yesterday when she posted a series of tweets attacking her ex-husband Usher’s current mother substitute, former Def Jam Records exec Grace Manuel.
Coincidentally, I saw Tameka looking lost and lonely outside Saks in Phipps Plaza yesterday. Actually, my lunch companion, fashion blogger/socialite Sarah Chapman spotted her first. Tameka is so pathetic. She will never get over her obsession with Usher. Poor Usher had to sneak Grace into Dallas for All Star weekend because he knows Tameka is stalking them.
Here’s the interesting part: According to Tameka’s former associate, Usher is still tapping Tameka’s back. Hard to believe, isn’t it? And then there’s this:
Usher and Tameka were recently spotted shopping together at the standalone Ralph Lauren boutique across from Louis Vuitton at Lenox Square mall. The sales rep asked me if I was sure Usher and Tameka are really separated. She said they sure didn’t act like it.
Is Swizz Beatz Cheating On Alicia Keys Already?
I so wish this story was true, but somehow I don’t think music producer Swizz Beatz would be this dumb. On the other hand, he might just be as dumb as he looks. Thanks to my readers who sent this story in. Peep the sources under the post.
Swizz Beatz is finally starting to go public with his once mistress, now girlfriend/possible fiance Alicia Keys but he may have a few more skeletons left in his closet!
Crunk and Disorderly dug up an article from a Russian music website that claims Swizzy has a two year-old-daughter with Moscow born singer Jahna Sebastian! IF this is true, the story goes:
“The two allegedly met at London famous club Ministry of Sound in August 2007. All her attempts to contact Swizz Beatz after realizing she was pregnant failed. So she did it with the help of her lawyers.
In July 2009 Swizz Beatz had to come to London to take the paternity test (it is reported that Alicia was there as well) and the results proved that he was indeed the father.
The singer who now resides in London addresses that since then she gets no financial support from her famous baby daddy.”
Since Swizz and Alicia have been dating for three years, that would mean he cheated on Alicia who he was creeping with while legally married to Mashonda!? I can’t keep up! You compare the pictures above and decide if papa’s maybe looks like him or not!
Paula Patton Shows Off the Sexy Side of Motherhood
As you know, actress Paula Patton delivered a healthy baby boy on Tuesday. Pregnant and lovely Paula celebrates the joys of motherhood on two covers of the May issue of Ebony magazine.
Paula Patton Shows Off the Sexy Side of Motherhood Talented actress talks about new movie, baby Julian and why she once hid her relationship while dating hubby, Robin Thicke.
Not one. But two May EBONY covers provide just the right mix to fully capture rising star Paula Patton celebrating motherhood in a very sexy way. In an exclusive photo shoot, the 34-year-old starlet personifies this month’s theme of Power of Possibility. What represents possibility more than motherhood? As she prepared for the birth of her son, Julian and the release of her new romantic comedy, Just Wright, Patton is living in the moment after she reached a career high in her role in the Oscar-winning film Precious. “I’m so thankful about the things that are happening in my career. Being pregnant has been a real lesson in taking every day as it comes. I don’t know what’s coming next,” she said. Her husband, Robin Thicke, also chimes in on how the pregnancy changed him and how fatherhood will affect his music.
THIS ISSUE HITS STANDS NATIONWIDE TUESDAY, APRIL 13

Whitney Houston Hospitalized in Paris
Legendary singer Whitney Houston has suffered another setback to her troubled world tour. According to online reports, Houston was hospitalized on Wednesday (April 7) in Paris, France with an upper respiratory infection.
The 46-year-old, whose hits in the 1980s and 1990s included “I Will Always Love You” and “I Wanna Dance With Somebody,” had been scheduled to play a gig in Paris on Tuesday but cancelled it at the last moment.
“Doctors visited Whitney late last night in Paris and confirmed that she was suffering from an upper respiratory infection,” her label Sony Music said.
Sony said she hoped to play a concert in Birmingham, England, next Tuesday before continuing the European tour.
The star was being treated in the American Hospital in Neuilly, a clinic in a chic Paris suburb favoured by French celebrities. She was treated there in 2005 for gastroenteritis. Read More…
