Heidi Klum Announces ‘Separation’ from Seal – 2 Days Before His Album Drops
Seal with Heidi Klum and two of their children were seen together in a compilation photo dated Jan. 7, 2012.
On Saturday, gossip website TMZ broke the story that supermodel Heidi Klum would file for divorce from singer Seal. 24 hours later, the couple released a statement to the Associated Press announcing their intention to separate.
The announcement was conveniently timed to coincide with the U.S. release of Seal’s album of 70s Soul classics remakes, Soul 2, which drops tomorrow (Jan. 24).
This “separation” has all the earmarks of a well-orchestrated publicity stunt. Complete with a convenient leak to a popular gossip website. Sources “directly connected” with Heidi tell TMZ that the couple are separating due to Seal’s temper — not because of a third party. Of course narcissists wouldn’t dare cheat on each other, right?
Furthermore, the source tells TMZ that Heidi has become “a mega-entrepreneur and extremely rich”, which doesn’t sit well with Seal. Oh, and did I mention that they still live together under the same roof?
Grand Reopening of Jay Z’s 40/40 Club
Jay Z put his businessman face on to attend the Grand reopening of his 40/40 sports bar in NYC last night. Celebs such as billionaire Warren Buffet (pictured with Jigga), Ashanti, rapper Wale, producer Rico Love and others attended. The bar was closed last year for renovations because business was so slow. Jay Z hopes the bar’s new facelift will inject life into the place.
The dapper Jay Z turned heads when he pulled up to the club with a mystery LSLH woman. Beyonce’s surrogate, perhaps?
Mariah Carey Lied About Nick Cannon’s Kidney Failure
When media mogul Nick Cannon was hospitalized two weeks ago, his worried wife, singer Mariah Carey-Cannon, took to her Twitter page and tweeted a photo of her husband in a hospital bed. She tweeted that Nick was in “mild kidney failure” and she asked her millions of followers to pray for him.
In my Medical Minute post on Acute Renal Failure, your auntie wrote: “Nick might not be in kidney failure at all (Nick and Mariah are such drama queens).”
Since we had no real information to go on — other than the photo and Mariah’s tweets — fans were left to guess what was really ailing Nick. I guessed that Nick might have compartment syndrome (a consequence of intense weight lifting which can lead to kidney failure), or kidney stones.
Yesterday morning Nick returned to his radio gig at 92.3 WXRK, and he finally came clean about what caused his illness: a urinary tract infection.
Beyonce: ‘the tight security was not for me, it was for our daughter’
In her first interview since daughter Blue Ivy was born on Jan.7, Beyonce gushed about motherhood, changing diapers and justifying the absurd, over-the-top security measures.
“He will change diapers, of course he will,” said Beyonce, referring to Jay Z, who announced he would stop using the word “bitch” in honor of the child.
“He is going to be a very hands-on father,” Beyonce told UK Star magazine. “He has already said publicly that providing isn’t love. Love is being there. Love is doing little things for your child.”
Jay-Z, who grew up slinging crack cocaine on the streets of Brooklyn, was in the delivery room when their first child was born.
“He would not have missed it for anything,” Beyonce crowed. “He is a very protective and loyal guy by nature. He is a very protective husband, and since we have found out I was pregnant I have seen the protective father in him.”
Beyonce’s chose of words is very interesting. In fact, she mentions variations of the word protection as if she feels unsafe subconsciously.
The 30-year-old first-time mom also defended the ultra-tight security surrounding the baby’s birth at Lenox Hill Hospital.
“Security was very tight, not for the sake of it,” she said. “It was for the security of our daughter.”
In Case You Missed It: T.I. and Tiny Family Hustle, Ep 7
Since the series premiere of VH1′s popular hit reality show T.I. and Tiny: The Family Hustle, each episode has centered around one of T.I.’s 6 children: Zonnique, Messiah, Domani, Deyjah, King and Harris.
Last night’s episode was 7-year-old King’s turn.
Tiny’s mother, Dianne Pope, aka “Mamaw”, pretty much raised King (and his 3-year-old brother Major) from birth — although the producers would have you believe that Dianne just took King in to help out Tiny after T.I. went to prison.
“Upon my return, King has not been able to wean himself off of Mamaw’s house,” Tip explains.
Tiny takes her mom to dinner to discuss the situation. During dinner, King, who is staying at Mamaw’s house, calls to see what’s keeping her. “Tell her to bring her butt home early. It’s 7 o’clock,” he says.

T.I. and Tiny dressed casually in warm ups — T.I. in NIKE, and Tiny in Gucci from head to toe. Don’t they look cute together?
