Obama’s $25B Bank Deal May Result in Banks Seizing Homes
President Obama gave homeowners some hope when he announced a one year moratorium on home foreclosures while he negotiated with the greedy bankers late last year.
But yesterdays announcement of a new $25 billion dollar settlement with the banks over fraudulent home foreclosures may result in homeowners losing their homes immediately.
Come on, did you really think President Obama was going to bail out homeowners the way he bailed out the bankers?
According to Bloomberg.com, the new settlement will result in an increase in home seizures that will inflict “short-term pain on delinquent U.S. borrowers while making a long-term housing recovery more likely.”
“With yesterday’s agreement,” Bloomberg notes, “banks are likely to resume property seizures.”
Drake’s ex-girlfriend wants her check for “Marvin’s Room” intro
Have you ever wondered who was behind the female voice heard on the intro of Drake’s emotional ballad “Marvin’s Room”? Well, her name is Ericka Lee and she’s supposedly Drake’s ex-girlfriend who now wants her cut of the huge profits from the sales of the hawt single.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Lee says she and Drake dated for over a year, between 2010 and 2011 — and during that time they collaborated on the single and agreed to split the proceeds. She says she agreed to record the song’s hook and an opening monologue.
Drake reportedly acknowledged Lee’s contributions in text messages sent to her phone. One read, “U basically made that song.” Another read, “It’s s–t without you.”
All parties involved registered the sound recording at the U.S. Copyright Office.
But on July 11, 2011, Lee made a claim against the copyright, saying “My works and voice are used on this work.”
About six weeks later, Cash Money Records filed their own claim, saying Lee was an “employer for hire.”
Celebs Out & About: Halle Berry, Gabe Aubry, Nicole Murphy, Jennifer Lopez
Eddie Murphy’s ex-wife, Nicole Murphy, was spotted out and about today in Beverly Hills. Even with breast implants, the 43-year-old mother of 5 puts other 40-year-old broads, like Basketball Wives’ Evelyn Lozada, to shame. The beauty wore a black sportsbra and spandex pants during her outing. And, yes, that’s a toy phone she’s holding.
Former underwear model Gabriel Aubry was seen comforting his daughter Nahla who was frightened by the paparazzi screaming at her daddy as they exited her private school in Beverly Hills yesterday. Aubry, 35, is awaiting the judges decision in his current custody case with ex Halle Berry over their 3-year-old daughter. The judge will decide whether Gabriel should be barred from seeing Nahla while police investigate him for child endangerment.

Halle’s Nanny Loses Restraining Order Request Against Aubry
Apparently Halle Berry’s nanny doesn’t have good karma because a judge today tossed out her restraining order petition against Gabriel Aubry.
As you know, Alliance Kamdem, 29, took out a police report last week accusing Aubry, 35, of “ongoing” verbal and physical abuse towards her. Kamdem claims Aubry hurled racial epithets at her and shoved her into a door while she was holding Nahla last Wednesday.
In her petition, Kamdem cited another alleged incident in June in which she claims Gabriel violently pushed her out a door.
According to celebrity gossip website, TMZ.com, Kamdem “also said Gabriel didn’t like her from the moment she began her duties as a nanny last June. She claims Gabriel said, “You are a spy,” and “Nahla doesn’t like you, she doesn’t want you here.”
She said that while she was performing her nanny duties on the set of Halle’s movie in Spain, Aubry “would walk over and violently grab/take Nahla away from me.”
But the judge wasn’t convinced. He called Kamdem’s accusations “insufficient and speculative” — and he advised her to take the matter up in family court. The judge rejected her claims probably because what Kamdem was saying didn’t make sense without Aubry’s side of the story.
Kamdem has since quit her position as Halle’s nanny.
Halle Berry Arrives at Court for Showdown With Gabe Aubry
TMZ.com reports that Halle Berry, 45, has arrived at court for her showdown with baby daddy Gabe Aubry, 35.
As you know, Halle’s nanny quit last week after Gabe flew into a rage and slammed her against a door — while she was holding Nahla in her arms.
A previous court order stipulated that a nanny must be present at all times while Aubry has custody of Nahla. But Aubry kept Nahla out of school last week without informing the nanny who went to the school to pick her up.
A police report was filed by the nanny accusing Aubry of assault.

Scroll down for updates…
Gabe Aubry has serious issues. This, according to Halle Berry, who is taking the Canadian underwear model back to court for losing his cool and assaulting her nanny.
Radaronline.com reports that Aubry hurled racial epithets and physically assaulted their daughter Nahla’s nanny last week. It seems that Aubry kept Nahla home from school for 2 days because he claimed she the 3-year-old was sick. But Aubry neglected to tell Nahla’s nanny, who went to the child’s private school looking for her.
“The nanny went to pick Nahla up at school and she wasn’t there, so she went to Gabriel’s home,” a source told RadarOnline.com. “Gabriel and the nanny got into an argument because no one alerted her that Nahla didn’t go to school.”
The source told RadarOnline.com Aubry allegedly called the nanny a racial slur, before things took a turn for the physical.
“She picked up Nahla to leave and Gabriel yelled at her and shoved her out the door so hard that she hit the wall — while she had Nahla in her arms!” the source alleges, adding that the nanny claims the abuse is ongoing.
According to Radaronline.com, the nanny is so distraught that she has turned in her resignation. Good for Halle for standing up for her people!

Jesse Jackson is a deadbeat dad
Comedian Bill Cosby and Civil Rights leader Jesse Jackson have more secret children than Joe Jackson.
Jesse Jackson, who is no relation to Joe, admitted he fathered a daughter, Ashley, by a woman he carried on an affair with in 1999. The girl is now 12, and Jackson owes her mother, Karin Stanford, $11,694.50 in back child support, according to the ENQUIRER.
Stanford was a top aide with Jackson’s Rainbow PUSHCoalition until The ENQUIRER exposed the affair — and the love child — in 2001 (how many of you are thinking at least she’s black?)
After admitting paternity, Jackson paid the court ordered child support and visited Ashley (and Stanford) at their California home regularly over the past decade.
