Hi Sandra,
My junior publicist Lisa actually took Michael Ealy down the press line. She’s actually not his hot new gal pal (lol) but instead she’s a really great publicist. Can I ask you to please correct this?

RIP Durand Robinson: History of Violence Mars Traxx Atlanta
Members of Atlanta’s gay community are still in shock over the senseless death of a co-owner of the popular gay club Traxx.
Durand Robinson, 50, (pictured above left) was found lying in the middle of a street with a gunshot wound to the chest in the early morning hours of August 25th. A resident on Hadlock Street on Atlanta’s southwest side, called police at 1:23 a.m. to report sounds of a “commotion” followed by gunfire and a car speeding off.
An hour earlier, Robinson had attended a board meeting near midtown with other Traxx Atlanta partners to plan for the upcoming Black Gay Pride Week.
Although Robinson helped organize many gay events over 20 years, he was quick to let anyone know that he wasn’t gay.
He often talked about his grown daughter, publicist Wynter Robinson, and the five nieces he helped raise. And Wynter always praised her father for his endless patience in raising the girls.
Although Robinson will be remembered as a peaceful and gentle man, a history of violence permeates the Traxx Atlanta firm that he was a partner of. Out of the 5 original partners of Traxx Atlanta, 3 have met violent deaths.
Celebrity Seed: Usher and sons in People magazine
The current issue of People magazine features R&B singer Usher at home with his sons. The issue hit newsstands today. Inside, Usher talks about raising his kids a single man and his split from the children’s mother, Tameka Foster, with whom he shares joint custody of the boys. Usher remembers life growing up without a doting father in his life to guide which kind of explains why he acts the way he does towards women. He is determined not to repeat the same mistakes as his father.
Celebs Out & About: Beyonce, Solange Knowles, Kelly Rowland, Devyne Stephens
Beyonce really thought she was doing something when she zipped through the waves on a rented jet ski in St. Tropez yesterday. Then she tried to jump a small wave and ended up flipping over the jet ski face first into the water!
Luckily she wasn’t hurt as she was helped back onto the jet ski by a watchful staff member on her yacht.
Beyonce climbed back on the jet ski, but this time she took things a bit slower. Beyonce may have forgotten that she just received her driver’s license in NY barely a month ago. Bey and Jay departed St. Tropez for the states yesterday.
