SdB eZine – Wednesday, June 13, 2007

Giving you the scoop every Monday, Wednesday and Friday!

What’s Happening?

SdB eZine apologizes for the brief hiatus,  but now we are back!! Let’s get right to the news and muse in this double packed issue.

Heirhead Paris Hilton is still causing mass problems for the LA County Sherriff department. Sheriff Baca and the LA County Department of Corrections garnered public outrage when it was learned that Hilton was given good time credit on her sentence of 45-days in the country jail before she actually began serving time and subsequently released to home detention after only 2 days in custody. The LA City attorney and judge on the case expressed outrage as well and Paris was ordered back to the LA county jail on Friday. Community activist and residents of LA continue to cite that Hilton was given preferential treatment not afforded to minorities and low income residence of the city who find themselves in Sheriff Department custody.  In the latest development ambulance chasing attorney Gloria Allred has managed to worm her way into the situation on behalf of Pamela Richardson, a 51-year old combat veteran who is a double amputee as a result of active duty combat. Allred held a press conference in LA admonishing Sheriff Baca for how the Paris situation was handled and accusing the LA Sheriff department of shocking mistreatment of her client when she too was held at the Lynwood detention center.

All We Can Say At The SdB eZine: Gloria Allred is a parasite and a lawsuit can’t be far behind.

Other Fall-out:

• Paris Hilton’s parents breeze by lines of family members waiting to see loved ones.  
• Paris Hilton dropped by Endeavor Talent Agency 
• Sheriff Baca ordered to respond to allegations of favoritism  Effort launched to recall Sheriff Baca

In other news from L.A …After being ordered to do so by a judge Eddie Murphy finally took the DNA test necessary to establish whether he fathered the infant daughter of ex Spice girl Melanie Brown. The actor-comedienne arrived at a Beverly Hills clinic yesterday amongst a throng of media attention. Murphy missed the London premiere of his latest film, “Shrek the Third,” in order to take the test as ordered by a judge. The actor says he will do the right thing if the test determines he is indeed the father. Melanie gave birth to a daughter 2 months ago who she named Angel Iris Murphy.  All We Can Say At The SdB eZine: Damn right he will, does he really have a choice!?!?! We’re still perturbed that he had to be ordered by a judge to even get this far. Mel better have a good lawyer.  

Just when you thought the baby making drama couldn’t get worse….The New York Post Page Six gossip column and Star magazine are reporting that Shar Jackson is seven weeks pregnant by none other than K-Fed. Yes AGAIN.  We’re not sure if this is true and actually we’re hoping by the sheer grace of God that it is not. Shar Jackson already has two children by her former high school boyfriend, a boy named Donnie and a daughter named Cassie. She also has a boy Kaleb and a girl named Kori by Keven Federline.   All We Can Say At The SdB eZine: You would think when a man leaves you pregnant and runs off to get engaged to a drug addicted pop ho you wouldn’t be attracted to him any more, less known sleep with him bare back. Somebody please call the birth control police.

Tidbits:

• Fans were disappointed yesterday to learn that rapper/ actor LL Cool J has changed his summer touring schedule. ALLHIPHOP.com is reporting that the ab man will perform at the 15th Annual Red Stripe Reggae Sumfest, which takes place July 15-21 in Montego Bay, Jamaica, but all other appearances are canceled due to an unspecified family problem.

• In another Hollywood musical beds bit ….Vibe Confidential broke the story of Singer Eric Benet and Prince’s ex-wife Manuela Testolini after they were seen together on several outings. Now Page Six is calling them a couple.  Check it out here.  

 On TV: Last Wednesday we encouraged all of our readers to watch the premiere of Tyler Perry’s House of Payne and we apologize. We watched as well and let’s just say it was painful to watch.  The second episode was a little better and we found ourselves chuckling briefly. With the previews promising better episodes tonight we are going to risk your trust and recommend we all give it a second chance. Watch a double header of Tyler Perry’s House of Payne tonight on TBS. If it’s as bad as it was last week we promise to never mention it again.  

WITW…each week your friendly SdB ezine post a picture of someone famous and ask our readers to try and identify the subject or just be as appalled as we are.  We call it What in the World!?!?!  This weeks WITW photo:  Insert your own shaking head.
