After nine years of a marriage, celebrity power couple Paula Patton and Robin Thicke are separating.
“We will always love each other and be best friends, however, we have mutually decided to separate at this time,” the singer and the actress told People on Monday in an exclusive statement.
The couple first met in high school when they were both still teenagers, and have been married since 2005.
They welcomed their son Julian Fuego in April 2010.
In an August 2013 interview with theGrio, Patton opened up about having “moments of jealousy” during her marriage with Thicke.
“We’ve dreamt the same dream together, him a singer, and me an actress, since we were kids,” Patton said. “So we know that it’s part of the deal. But it would be a lie to say that we both don’t have our moments of jealousy, and I’m honestly scared of the day that he’s not a little jealous. It wouldn’t be normal for someone to see the person they love kissing someone else.”
There is no word on whether or not Patton and Thicke will move forward with an official divorce.
WKRC’s Bob Herzog’s remake of ‘Let it Go,’ sung by Princess Elsa in the animated movie ‘Frozen,’ has over half a million views on Youtube. Can you say VIRAL?
The man responsible for the death of Usher’s stepson Kile Glover was found guilty in a Georgia courtroom today.
According to reports, Jeffrey Hubbard was convicted on five counts of homicide by vessel, reckless operation and unlawful operation of a personal watercraft.
You may recall the tragic accident. Hubbard was riding a jet ski when he hit the 11-year-old, who was being towed on an inner tube, at Lake Lanier in 2012. He also left another teen severely injured. His attorneys argued that crash was an accident and not linked to recklessness.
Glover, the biological son of Usher’s ex-wife Tameka Raymond, was vacationing with his father Ryan Glover at the time of the accident. He suffered from serious head injuries and a little more than two weeks after the crash he was removed from life support. He was laid to rest on July 27, 2012 amongst family, friends and many members of Atlanta’s music community.
Tameka recently started a foundation to honor her son’s memory.
Now this one here is a shame. Clean cut R&B artist Brian McKnight, known especially for his 1997 hit “Anytime” and another hut in 1999 “Back At One,” apparently hasn’t paid taxes in a decade, and he is blaming his accountant.
McKnight has filed a lawsuit against Vernon Brown and Company, claiming Brown ruined his life by not paying ANY of Brian’s taxes for close to a decade … resulting not only in more than a million bucks in back taxes, but more than $500K in penalties and interest.
Here’s how bad McKnight says it got … In the lawsuit he claims Brown knew he screwed up and secretly contacted Congressman Henry Waxman and gave him a phony sob story that got Waxman to contact the IRS and get McKnight back on an installment plan.
McKnight says Brown was so bad he screwed up the installment plan and the taxes were never paid.
McKnight says his credit is now crap, his house has a lien, his music royalties have been frozen and his life is in shambles. Not only that, McKnight says his driver’s license has been suspended for failing to pay back taxes, and because his son shares the same name HIS license was suspended as well.
And here’s an honor no one wants … McKnight says he landed on California’s Top 500 Delinquent Taxpayers.
Something he can put on his mantle … next to his Soul Train Music Award.
Fallen also showed the ‘evolution of mom dancing‘ with the First Lady, Michelle Obama. In his first show hosting The Tonight Show in New York, Fallon and Smith bust the move.
“It’s about allowing our fans who have been looking and trying to get a hold of our music to have access to it,” Posdnuos explained to Rolling Stone, noting that the myriad number of samples on their albums have prevented them from being able to release their albums on most digital services (including iTunes and Spotify). “It’s been too long where our fans haven’t had access to everything. This is our way of showing them how much we love them.”
Besides being Valentine’s Day, today marks the 25th anniversary of their landmark debut album 3 Feet High and Rising. The music will be available for download from 11 a.m. Eastern time Friday until noon on Saturday. Keep in mind that some people had trouble downloading this morning (it seems Dropbox-related), but it should hopefully be back up soon.
The band are also planning on releasing their first new album in a decade, You’re Welcome, in the coming months. “We’re just getting in the mode of constantly giving people new music,” Posdnuos added. “With us, we’ve sat a long time without releasing an album. It’s high time we start releasing a bunch of stuff because it’s there.”
In honor of next month’s 25th anniversary of their debut album “3 Feet High and Rising,” De La Soul is making their entire catalog available for free download for 25 hours on the group’s website, reports Rolling Stone.
The download bonanza will begin today, February 14th at 11 a.m. EST and end Saturday at noon.
The move was driven in part by copyright law, which, because of the group’s use of samples, prevented sale of some their albums on iTunes.
“It’s about allowing our fans who have been looking and trying to get a hold of our music to have access to it,” De La Soul member Posdnuos told Rolling Stone. “It’s been too long where our fans haven’t had access to everything. This is our way of showing them how much we love them.”
“It’s been a trying journey. We’ve been blessed to be in the Library of Congress, but we can’t even have our music on iTunes,” he added. “We’ve been working very hard to get that solved.”
What would first lady Michelle Obama, a mother of two girls, do if she also had a son — or more to the point, a 19-year old international pop star with a penchant for fast cars, private jets and alcohol named Justin Bieber?
“I would pull him close. You know, I don’t know if it would be advice as much as action,” Obama said in a recent interview with Univision Radio host Enrique Santos. “I would be very present in his life right now. And I would be probably with him a good chunk of the time, just there to talk, to figure out what’s going on in his head, to figure out who’s in his life and who’s not, you know.”
And Obama is not the only one at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. being asked to weigh in on Bieber’s case.
A petition created on the White House’s “We the People” site calling for the government to deport Bieber and revoke his green card has garnered more than 250,000 signatures — far exceeding the 100,000 signature threshold to require an official response.
“That response will come I’m sure relatively soon,” White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said last week.
The petition, which was filed on the day Bieber was arrested for an alleged DUI and drag racing, says: “We the people of the United States feel that we are being wrongly represented in the world of pop culture. We would like to see the dangerous, reckless, destructive, and drug abusing, Justin Bieber deported and his green card revoked.”
Michelle Obama, who was not asked about the petition during her radio interview, was nothing but motherly when it came to the famous wayward teen who could face a trial in Florida as early as March 3.
“I found that to be the case with my kids,” she said. “They just want you near, you know — they want that advice from a parent. They want to see you on a daily basis, you know, because the thing is he’s still a kid. He’s still growing up. So, I would pull him close.”
