Giving you the scoop every Monday, Wednesday and Friday!
What’s Happening!
All is fair in love and war…at least that’s what we thought. We start this Memorial Day Weekend off with the shocking announcement that Vernon Winfrey’s tell-all-book on his media mogul daughter has been put on hold. Papa Winfrey insist he was not encouraged to drop his publishing plans by his wealthier, sole provider, meal ticket, source of most things material in his life daughter although Oprah expressed shock and disappointment this week when she found out about her fathers plans. All We Can Say At The SdB eZine Is: We would have paid cash money to hear that conversation. Put on hold!? Whether it was by threat or love for his daughter and not wanting to strain their good relationship, we know there could be no other reason on the planet that he has changed his mind; other than his-daughter-did-not–want–him-to-do-it. Let’s be real she could have collaborated with him– made it a touching father daughter memoir. On hold is Hollywood speak for not gonna happen anytime soon. Kitty Kelley, better watch her back. If you strong-arm your own daddy…
In other news that sounds a little fishy…Kimora Lee Simmons made all the rounds in France at the Cannes Film Festival this 
week and she wasn’t alone. The model – slash- fashion diva – slash purveyor of wealthy men was seen hugged up and hanging on to African actor and model Djimon Hounsou!?? Go ahead say it: Huh!?, that’s what we were thinking too. Say it isn’t so. We all know K-lee’s claim to fame, but for those of you unaware, Djimon is the critically acclaimed actor who played the leading role in Amistad and most recently Blood Diamond. He’s been nominated for numerous awards including a first in 2004 as the only Black African having ever been nominated for an Oscar. In Feb. of this year it was announced that he will be the new Calvin Klein underwear model. He has always appeared to be a very serious and thought provoking man on in interviews, and fans are wondering what in God’s name made him hook-up with Kimora!?!? All We Can Say At The SdB eZine Is: Damn that don’t even sound right…dude you are forever suspect.
Speaking of suspect and strange…Chili from TLC is back in the news but this time it’s not her old boo but her new beau that’s causing the buzz. Here’s the scoop it’s kinda complicated …Over the last couple of months Usher, Chili’s ex (under some pretty steamy allegations) hooked-up with his married with children hair dresser. She reportedly left her husband and three kids to be with Ush. They’ve since gotten preggers and engaged we’re not sure in which order. Meanwhile mama Ush one of the seemingly most supportive mothers in hollyweird was kicked to the curb. Rumors started circulating almost instantly after mama ush was canned as her sons manager that Moms had signed Chili the ex to a management deal. The rumors proved to be true. Now another scandal has broken out taking this saga full circle. Chili has been reportedly dating hunky CNN news anchor T.J Holmes, who himself is married and reportedly going through a divorce. Sources told mediatakeout.com in a recent report that Mr. Holmes met Chili in November 2006 when he was already going through problems in his marriage and that his relationship with the R&B star has not helped. All We Can Say At The SdB eZine Is: How can two people break-up because of cheating, claim great growth and learning from the experience then turn around and date two married people!? We guess Chili is okay about cheating with someone but not being cheated on…. If they cheat with you they will cheat on…oh never mind…
Last but not least: We can’t choose which of these couple story’s to report on so we’ll just hit on both a bit. Bobby Brown is back in the news flaunting his new love… Gossip maven CJ at the Star Tribune in Minneapolis is reporting more rumors about bobby being hooked up with Whitney’s old pal music executive Alicia Etheridge. CJ is claiming that Alicia is now Bobby’s manager and Bobby has been introducing her to everyone as his girlfriend when in public. Earlier this month rumors were flying that the two may have been on their way to the alter. All We Can Say At The SdB eZine Is: It’s probably true where else did he get the money to challenge his divorce and pay his back child support. Going public must have been a condition of their agreement…of course we’re just speculating!!
Last, last but not least…is Brittany Daniels pregnant? In case you don’t know who that is, Brittany Daniels plays the white girl Kelly on the CW hit show The Game. Earlier in the year we reported that the blond we really like is dating our own Keenen Ivory 
Wayans. It appeared that Keenen had gone from his light damn near white wife 
Daphne to the real McCoy. A reliable source who knows his ex Daphne Wayans really well tells the SdB eZine that “Keenen is an asshole and he was abusive to Daphne mother of his 5 children during their time together”. MTO is also reporting that Keenen kicked Daphne out the house when he hooked up with Brittany. All We Can Say At The SdB eZine Is: Okay why are we more worried about Brittany than we are anybody else in this scenario!?!? Let’s hope the pregger rumors are not true…Save the white girl save the world …wait wrong show.
