I Ain't One To Gossip But ...

So, y’all remember last week when Disney stepped in a pile of Don’t Say Gay doo-doo when the Mouse House did nothing to condemn that hate-filled Florida bill? And then CEO Bob Chapek suggested the company was working behind the scenes to support the LGBTQ+ community, but a great many Pixar and Disney employees put Disney on blast, listing all the ways Disney has profited off the LGBTQ+ community but not really supported us.

Well, in stepped actor Gabrielle Union, who  stars in Disney’s reboot of Cheaper by the Dozen and is trans activist Zaya Wade’s stepmother. Union took no prisoners when she was asked if she was disappointed in Disney’s response to Don’t Say Gay, and said:

“Somebody asked me, ‘Are you disappointed?’ I’m disappointed when my order isn’t right at In-N-Out. I don’t even think that’s a word that you could use for something like this, where children’s lives are literally hanging in the balance. We need to own that if you truly are taking stands against hate and oppression, you should not fund hate and oppression. Period. The damage is done. There are so many states that are following suit [with Florida’s legislation], because there is no pushback, because no one in positions of power [or] corporations are taking a hard stance. Let’s look who’s donating to what and let’s call people out … I think a lot of people like to confuse accountability and consequences for cancel culture. And as long as you have a microphone and a stage that’s not cancel culture, honey… We have to campaign and fund for those people who stand for all of us.”

Suh-nap, as Anne Marie would have said, and I add a double suh-nap to Un ion’s statement because she worked for Disney and still took them on.

Brava, Mama.

Kim Kardastrophe and Kanye West’s divorce looks like it might get even uglier.

In the new trailer for Hulu’s “The Kardastrophes,” Kim shares a displeasing comment her now-ex-husband made to her:

“He told me my career is over.”

Her ‘career’ as a reality show whore? As a wannabe lawyer? Her career as a former porn star turned underwear mogul?

Gurl bye.

Wendy Williams has had a bad couple of years, what with her husband fathering a child with his lover and then divorcing Wendy; and that was followed up by health scares, a Graves Disease diagnosis, allegations of substance abuse and mental health issues, which culminated in Wendy leaving her talk show for most of last year and well into 2022.

But in a phone call to GMAS this week, Wendy proclaimed that she has the “mind and body of a 25-year-old”—on a high shelf in a dark closet?—and needs three more months to handle some shiz and then she’ll come back to her show, except …

The producers have cancelled the Wendy Williams Show and replaced it with Sherri! starring Sherri Shepherd, so unless Wendy changes her name, I don’t see her back on TV as the host … of Sherri!

A few years ago a rumor came out that Jada Pinkett Smith had cheated on her husband Will with a twenty-something friend of their son, Jaden. Both Mr. and Mrs. Smith got on their high horses, panties in a twist and said no affair ever happened and how dare anyone ever say it happened.

Cut to a few years later, and Jada and Will, on her Facebook talk show, Red Table Talk, discussed her affair with the young man, but didn’t address their indignation at the public for discussing Jada’s affair. The couple then suggested that they have an open marriage and yada yada yada publicity.

Now, a couple of years past that, and Will Smith is campaigning for an Oscar for his role in King Richard—not  a Shakespeare play but a film about Venus and Serena Williams’ father Richard—and Will appeared on CBS with Gayle King who asked many questions, including this one:

“You both have talked very candidly—it’s a very famous story–infidelity in the marriage and how you navigated that that time …”

“Yeah, never. There’s never been infidelity in our marriage.”

“Never been infidelity in the marriage?”

“Never. Jada and I talk about everything. And we have never surprised one another with anything, ever.”

Oh. So, if you tell your spouse you’re cheating it isn’t infidelity? Yeah, I don’t think so, I think it’s still infidelity, because I guarantee your wedding vows said nothing about poking your dick in other women, or even men, or allowed Jada to flop on her back with her heels to Jesus.

Just own, it, Will, You and your wife cheat on one another but you both know the other does it and you’re both fine with that, but don’t expect anyone to believe this hogwash.

Infidelity won’t doesn’t bother either one of you unless the day comes when one of you keeps their cheating secret to themselves.

Now, some of you may know that recovering alcoholic and Real Housewives of New York ‘star,’ Luann de Lesseps was arrested a couple of years ago for drunkenly breaking into someone else’s hotel room and then trying to assault a police officer, has fallen off the wagon … ALLEGEDLY.

Last week former Countess de Lesseps drunkenly took over the mic at a gay piano bar and began singing so badly that patrons began booing, causing de Lesseps to shout ‘Fuck you’ from the stage before she was kicked out of the club.

Apparently the Countess,  who performs her own “Countess Cabaret” show, arrived intoxicated at the Townhouse piano bar and took to the stage as if she were performing her act for the crowd who was not amused; one witness said:

“Luann thought she was doing her act. She tried to sing [her own song] ‘Money Can’t Buy You Class,’ but they didn’t know it, they know standards. The piano player was like, ‘I don’t know the song,’ and she responded, ‘It’s a hit!'”

SIDENTOE: the critically trashed song sold 19,000 digital copies.

And then it got worse. Luann began “belting out jumbled versions of songs,” which were so intolerable that “the crowd began booing her” and so she began yelling back:

“You don’t know me! I’m a cabaret star! Fuck you.”

Then she was thrown out of the club.

Luann told the press the next day that she was “at rehearsals all day … then went to dinner with Broadway producers. We were in a celebratory mood and drinking champagne.”

And making a drunken, belligerent fool of herself. Again.

You can see the video, and hear Luann singing caterwauling here:

To cleanse my eyes and mind of things de Lesseps, let’s talk about country singer Jessie James Decker showing off her nekkid football player husband on his 35th birthday,

Decker shared that photo of Eric Decker on Instagram wearing only his "birthday suit" to celebrate his milestone, telling followers that he's "lookin like a statue from Greece" in the poolside picture from Mexico.

Thanks Jessie.

PS There was also the time Eric posed with Jessie’s new cookbook rather provocatively.

It's Snarkurday!

Do not piss off Madonna; she holds a grudge longer than a mob boss. But, if you find that you have pissed off The Aging Diva she just might call you out in front of a packed arena.

Last week, during a concert in the Philippines, Madge shared a story of betrayal with the crowd:

“Once I had a Filipino trainer — this beautiful, beautiful girl. She was gorgeous and very talented as a trainer, but she f**ked my boyfriend, so I fired her.”

Now, the gorgeous trainer is no doubt Nicole Winhoffer, who worked with Madge for nearly five years before being put in a cement overcoat and sent to live with the fishes.

A source — and you know it’s Winhoffer — says Nicole helped Madonna launch eight branded gyms worldwide as creative director of Hard Candy Fitness but that she left Madonna of her own accord to be a businesswoman.

She is now the Global Ambassador for Stella McCartney’s line of Adidas workout gear and was once a backup dancer for Shakira.

Oh hell no. She went from being Madge’s personal bitch to dancing for Shakira? That’s worse than a Madge Hit … in both song and murder.

It appears that one needs hazard pay while working for Shonda Rhimes … ask Katherine Heigl, Patrick Dempsey and Isaiah Washington who were are ALLEGEDLY booted from a Rhimes’ show for making Mama mad. But now it appears the stars’ physical health is at risk and for that look no further than How To Get Away With Murder’s Viola Davis.

Viola ALLEGEDLY got hurt while shooting a Rhimes-written sex scene on HTGAWM with her on-screen man Nate, played by Billy Brown, and that she had to beg Shonda and the writers to tone it down while she recovered:

“I blew my back out. He threw me up against a wall. All I can say is I was totally committed to the scene. I just told them to slow it down for a minute. I’m going to get back into it. I have to. It’s Shondaland! You know, they’re gonna have me doing all kinds of stuff with all kinds of people.”

Um, Shonda? Honey? If you need a stand-in for Viola for those Billy Brown Sex Scenes, I’m available … no charge!

Is everyone losing millions? I mean, Kanye announced he was like fifty million in debt—though, to be fair, this was before checking Kim’s ass crack for coins—and now Oprah’s losing it, too!

According to CNBC, after a pike in stock prices for Weight Watchers when Oprah revealed that she eats bread, the stock has dropped some 20% in their fourth quarter revenue … meaning the Big O lost about $21 million.

Now, again to be fair, Winfrey has made about $75 million since investing in weight loss … again … and being that she’s Oprah and she can drop $21 million over breakfast at the Waffle House on waffles and sausages.

Sherri Shepherd just doesn’t learn.

Back story: she met a man and married him; he wanted a baby and so they found a surrogate; she paid all the expenses for the surrogate; just before the birth of that baby Sherri decided she didn’t want to be married; she divorced her husband and said the baby wasn’t hers; a judge disagreed but Sherri wanted nothing to do with it; a judge said, ‘Fine, but now, since you paid for everything else, you’ll pay child support for the child.’; Sherri went to court to get it overturned so she could save her coins.

Cut to today: a judge has ordered Sherri to keep those child support checks coming because a lower court in Pennsylvania court ruled that surrogacy contracts are binding.

As for Sherri’s relationship with the child she’s never seen him; the child she so desperately wanted that she opted for surrogacy when outer methods proved fruitless. The child she says she prayed to the Baby Jeebus to give her.

She.Hasn’t.Seen.Him.

PS Sherri’s a devout Christian, but she loves her money more than her child.

Trai Byers — or, as I call him, Trai Booty because, well, isn’t it obvious — ALLEGEDLY wants out off “Empire” because he’s a serious actor and not given enough to do or … maybe “Empire” wants Trai Byers gone because he might be a bit of a diva.

Trai ALLEGEDLY  threw a temper tantrum during filming a few weeks ago and howled, “I don’t get to do enough, I might leave.”

Producers called his bluff and said, “Fine, if you’re not happy, we don’t need you.”

But it isn’t just ‘Empire;’ Byers has also  fired all his reps for not getting him big movie roles.” He was ALLEGEDLY up for a new Muhammad Ali movie and when he didn’t get it, he fired his whole team from his manager on down to the Booty Masseur … and I needed that job!

Still, Fox says Byers is “not quitting nor is he being fired … for now.”

Ow.

“Little Richie” Rocco Ritchie’s custodial agreement blew up over Christmas after he’d been on tour with his mom, Madonna, for months and he just wanted time with his father, Guy Ritchie. He “ran away” to London and has been there ever since, refusing to return to New York for school and refusing to see his mom for Christmas.

A court date was set and it occurred this week, though without Rocco or Guy or Madge … just the attorneys and the judge who had little time for Madonna’s theatrics and Guy’s narcissism.

At the hearing both Madonna and Guy listened in on speaker-phone while the judge declared that Rocco will remain in London for the time being, living with his father and going to a school chosen by both Madonna and Ritchie.

And so Madge is trying to play the “Look! I’ve Changed” card; rather than bashing Guy to his son, or calling Ritchie a “c**t’ while performing onstage — she likes to air her dirty laundry in concert a lot these days — Madge is promising Rocco that things would be different … that she’ll be less strict and controlling. Uh huh. Madge less controlling? That’d be like Oprah quitting pastries.

Still, you gotta hand it to the judge who said this of Rocco’s parents:

“Frankly, both parties have chosen to live their lives in a very public way and may welcome the publicity, but the child has not. He would like this matter resolved and the issues concerning him and his family in the most private way possible.” 

That was right before Madge’s lawyer asked the judge to have Guy arrested for contempt of court.

Yeah … less controlling.

It's Snarkurday!

I don’t know if Katy Perry is still banging John Mayer or not, though I do know she should be wrapped in a FullBodyCondom™ for life for ever having banged him at all.

But … ALLEGEDLY … the two were together on New Year’s Eve and all sorts of cozy, but then cut to a couple of weeks later and Katy showed up solo … and old looking … at the Golden Globes and immediately starting flirting with that other walking STD, Orlando Bloom.

Yup, ALLEGEDLY the two hit it off, and then maybe hit it, during and after a Globes after party thrown by Harvey Weinstein. The duo was photographed all chatty and snuggly and whispery with one another. Orlando even took Katy’s phone at one point, possibly to enter his booty call phone number. And then Katy and her handlers decided to leave the party … with Orlando in tow.

But I guess it wasn’t all that, or else Katy decided John Mayer should be her only true booty call, because later that same week, at a Stella McCartney fashion show, Katy arrived first, and when Orlando showed up, she moved away from him and avoided him all night.

Katy could do better … not that she has. I mean, Russell Brand, John Mayer and Orlando Bloom? Sounds like a Triple Shot Trip to the Free Clinic.

Back in the fall of 2014, adulterers LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian were sued by their former maid, Gloria Cevallos, who claimed that she was being bullied and insulted by two other women on LeAnn and Eddie’s staff — she says the Cibrian's other help called her fat and ugly — and that Eddie’s mother wanted LeAnn and Eddie to fire Gloria.

Was Mama Cibrian worried that serial cheater Eddie would go Schwarzenegger on the maid?

Anyway, Gloria was fired, and then she sued for back pay and “front pay” — yup, she wanted Eddie and LeAnn to pay her salary in full until she found another job. Seriously? Who does she think she is? Marco Rubio?

Anyway, LeAnn got on her high horse and sang yodeled to every media outlet about the lawsuit, and claimed that Gloria was all about the “shameless money grab,” something LeAnn knows all too well … but, instead of taking Gloria to court, Eddie and LeAnn settled their suit, meaning they paid some cash to Gloria to stop saying they’re horrible people.

And I guess there was a Non-Disclosure Clause, because if there wasn’t, LeAnn would’a been all over Twitter with that hashtag.

Sherri Shepherd will not give up.

You know she married Lamar Sally, because she bragged about it on The View before they canned her; and she also bragged about using a surrogate to have a baby.

She did not, however, brag anywhere when the marriage fell apart and she tried to distance herself from the unborn child, saying she never wanted ‘it’ and certainly wasn’t going to pay for ‘it.’

But a judge disagreed and told Sherri, who gave up her parental rights, meaning Lamar has the child, that ‘it’ is her child and she will be paying child support until her son turns eighteen.

Sherri stomped and cried and begged and pleaded, and now she’s going back to court, appealing that Pennsylvania Superior Court decision all the way to the state supreme court. She doesn’t want to pay the $4,100 in monthly child support for the boy, and also doesn’t really want anyone to know that it was she who paid the more than $100,000 in fees to a New Jersey agency and supported the Pennsylvania surrogate’s pregnancy until her marriage faltered.

And only then did she say she didn’t want the child. Oh, and before I forget, Sherri wants y’all to know she’s a good Christian woman who is turning her back on her baby.

Just sayin’.

I need a Silkwood Scrubdown after this, but, according to sources, Josh Duggar and his wife Anna are expecting yet another child, their fifth, conceived while Josh was away at Sex Addict Rehab, or Sister Diddler Therapy, or Porn Star Screwing Camp or something.

It begs the question, though, that exactly what kind of sex addiction rehab clinic allows their patients to bone anyone while undergoing sex addiction therapy?

Anyway, Anna announced that she thinks she is pregnant again and believes the baby is a sign that God has forgiven Josh for his many sins.

God, for her part, issued this statement:

Oh hell no. Keep me outta this mess.

Meanwhile, back at media whore cheaters, LeAnn and Eddie Cibrian.

LeAnn took to Instagram around Christmas to proudly shoe off the diamond ring Eddie “gave” her as a gift. She even used the Ricky Martin Method of hashtagging the picture to death: #cushioncut #rosegold #happy #blessed #loved. And then she hashtagged it with the name of the jeweler and jewelry store that designed the ring: #Mantis7Jewels.

I could just #puke. But then I wondered, how many people receive “gifts” and then give a public — possibly paid — endorsement of the store that provided the “gift”? Unless, the gift wasn’t a gift at all, but a little something the jeweler and Eddie created to “give” LeAnn as long as she paid proper notice to the store.

Or, and this seems to be the case, given that the jeweler has said so: LeAnn designed the ring herself, and paid for it herself, and then Instagramed that it was a gift from Eddie.

Lotta thought went into that “gift,” eh, Eddie?

When Boy Bands fall, some members go on to do fairly well, and others, well, they seem to Nick Carter their way down.

Nick, a former member of The Backdoor Backstreet Boys, who has proudly proclaimed in recent years his successful stint in rehab and his sobriety, was arrested this week after ALLEGEDLY busting a drunken move at Hog’s Breath Saloon in Key West.

Carter and another dude — Michael Rae Papayans — showed up at the Hog’s Breath and were all kinds of wasted, so the bartender refused to get them any more drunk and told them to leave.

That set Michael off and he ALLEGEDLY head-butted the bar manager while Nick, not to be outdone by the crazy, choked the bouncer. The bar staff jumped in and pinned Nick and Michael to the ground until the police arrived at which point Michael Rae Papayans name-dropped, wait for it, Nick Carter … as in …

“That other bar brawler is the Nick Carter!”

Naturally, that didn’t help because, obviously, the Key West police are NSYNC fans.

Over there to The Voice, the judges chairs are rotating again, with Gwen Stefani taking this round off and former judge Christina Aguilera coming back.

And that did not sit well with Gwen’s media-boyfriend, and fellow guest judge, Blake Shelton, who apparently stomped his boots at the idea of not being able to ride this Gwake Sheltani business until it dies a much needed death.

And so the producers, fearing a Blake Exit, had no other choice but to bring Gwen back, but then, what about the Wrath of Aguilera?

Problem solved … Stefani will be back, as a mentor on “boyfriend’ Blake Shelton’s team.

I guess cowboy boots really do throw as mighty a hissy fit as diva stilettos.

It's Snarkurday!

It must be Break-up Season — you know, break-up before the holidays so you don’t have to buy that ‘Special Someone’ a gift — because there are a lotta splits a’happening …

Let’s back it up a few months …

In September, we learned that Gotham star Morena Baccarin had left her husband, Austin Chick, and was banging her Gotham co-star Ben McKenzie when they made Couple Debut at the Emmy after-parties.

And we know they were banging because a day later we learned that Morena was pregnant … by a few months … with Ben’s child … which means they were banging back in July while she was still married to her husband and the father of her other child. Chick says he and Morena were still living together during the summer and working on their marriage, when Ben knocked her up; Morena, naturally, disagrees.

But, it’s all messy and sordid and apparently the courts agree with Chick because Morena has been ordered to pay Chick a lotta coins … some $23,000 a month, or … $2,693 in child support for their son Julius, and $20,249 for spousal support.

That’s 275K a year, proving that it doesn’t pay to bang a co-star while you’re still married, Morena.

In other break-ups … it appears that Kate Beckinsale’s husband, director Len Wiseman, has been spotted out-and-about with a 20-something jump-off, “model” CJ Franco, while Beckinsale is away, working, in Prague. And he’s doing the Not Wearing His Wedding Ring routine, too.

Now folks are saying that Kate and Len’s marriage was over months ago, though at that time, they weren’t telling anyone … according to sources … and it could’a been Lohan because maybe Len has dated hookers.

Of course, this shouldn’t be a surprise. Wiseman was the director of one of those Underworld movies that Kate makes, and no one sees, and when she worked with him years ago she got a job for her then-boyfriend, Michael Sheen, in the movie. Trouble was, by the time filming ended Kate and Len were together and Michael was out of the picture.

So, this is nothing new for Len, really.

Say it isn’t so! America’s Royal Couple … I kid … Kylie Jenner and Tyga are over too??!?!

Where are my smelling salts? Oh, wait, maybe it was just an attempt at some attention; she’s a Kardastrophe, you know, and if they go ten minutes without seeing their names in print That Woman starts charging them … or charging at them, nostrils flaring.

But then, a mere 48 hours after it was announced that Kim2.0 had dumped her boyfriend, she posted a Snapchat picture of the two of them playing footsies on a couch with a message explaining that “Everyone needs to chill.”

But do we chill? Or do we wonder why Kylie was spotted leaving a club with ASAP Rocky last week? Uh huh … cue That Woman, who is spinning it that ASAP Rocky was trying to convince Kylie to give Tyga another chance because nothing screams Relationship Counselor like ASAP Rocky and Kylie Jenner Nightclub.

Either way, Tyga will still be getting coins for E! for appearing on Keeping Up With The Kardastrophes and the breakup will occur as a season finale … just like Mama planned.

Let’s take a breather from the break-ups and talk about One Direction.

In Who’s The Bigger Diva news, the award this week goes to the boy band who ALLEGEDLY had Grace Jones bumped from The Jonathan Ross Show.

The episode was supposed to feature the boys and Grace together, but those petty little divas were afraid Grace would “overshadow” their appearance so they asked that maybe she not be allowed to share a stage with them. And Grace was ALLEGEDLY royally pissed off about it, and y’all don’t wanna piss off Miss Jones, because she traveled from Jamaica to London just for the show.

Naturally, a spokesperson for those boys is saying they had nothing to do with Jones being cut from the show, adding that “it wasn’t even discussed with them.”

Yeah, uh huh, then why would a show cut Grace ‘Mother-effing’ Jones at all unless some pre-pube boys wanted it that way. And, yes, I know they aren’t pre-pubescent; they just act like it.

Howsabout Tyra Banks braking up with another TV show?

A few weeks back America’s Next Top Model Who Never Quite Makes It As A Model was cancelled by whatever second-rate network it was on and Tyra Banks, the very next day, tried to spin it that she was pulling the show off the air because it was time.

Tyra has an ego the size of her forehead y’all. But how’s she gonna spin this one? See, Tyra really played up her new talk-show, The FABLife for a hot minute until … she quit The FABLife.

And she’s saying she did it because she wants to focus on her line of cosmetics … uh huh … and that she’ll pop up every now and again and stay on as executive producer until the end of the year. But, rumor has it that Tyra didn’t exactly go quietly. She and another executive producer didn’t like each other and Tyra pitched a fit because, she says, producers went back on a promise to let her regularly push her craptastic makeup line on the show.

Still, it’s all good; no Tyra on TV is TV worth watching.

Back in July 2014, Sherri Shepherd’s super messy divorce drama was everywhere. She’d been married to Lamar Sally — a shady gold-digger … according to Sherri — and says he convinced her to have a baby via a surrogate; the child would not have any biological connection to Sherri since they didn’t use her eggs.

But, before the child was born, Sherri dumped Sally, filed for divorce and told the court she had no interest in paying child support to Lamar to raise a child who wasn’t “hers” biologically, even though she agreed to the surrogacy, signed the paper for the surrogacy, and paid for the surrogacy.

Last July, the court disagreed, and Sherri was ordered to pay child support for the child she never wanted; but the court left open the possibility that if Sherri could prove that Lamar defrauded her, she wouldn’t have to pay a dime.

Big surprise then that Good Christian Woman Sherri, who wanted a surrogate baby until she didn’t want one and then wanted no part of it at all ever, couldn’t prove fraud and so her last ditch effort to avoid paying child support was shot down in court.

And so she’ll continue to pay … $4,100 per month until the child turns thirteen … and then it’s bumped up to $4,600. Hopefully Lamar will go the Direct Deposit route so he and Sherri won’t have to face one another.

Okay, last week we learned that Carly Simon’s song “You’re So Vain” was partially about Warren Beatty because she told that story in her memoir Boys In The Trees.  But, because that story isn’t enough to sell books, she’s also revealing that, back in 1965, Sean Connery wanted to get some Carly … if you know what I mean … but he had one catch: he wanted a threesome with Carly and [gulp] her sister.

Carly says that when she was 20, and her sister Lucy was 22, they were traveling from London to New York on a ship and met a then 35-year-old Sean Connery.  Carly says that the three of them had drinks and ended up in his cabin where Connery, who was married at the time, suggested the ménage-à-oh-no-they-bettah-don’t.

Carly and Lucy said thanks, but no thanks, but the next night Lucy did end up doing the 007 Deed all by herself with Connery. And Carly was so upset by this betrayal — I guess she wanted to Bond with Sean … get it? — that when they got to New York, she ended their musical duo The Simon Sisters.

So … Sean Connery Yoko’d The Simon Sisters? That should sell one or two copies of Carly’s book.

After their marriage ended over the summer Kaley Cuoco and Ryan Sweeting learned a lesson many of us already know: don’t ever get a tattoo of a lover-husband-boyfriend-girlfriend-one-nightstand’s name, or wedding date, tattooed on your body.

See, Kaley went and got their wedding date inked into her back and Ryan got her name tattooed on his arm, and then almost as soon as that ink dried, it was over. What to do? What to do?

Well, Kaley was kinda lucky; she could have scoured Tindr for another man to marry and then married him on the same date, and only have had to change the year. Ryan would have to find a girl named Kaley and that is far more difficult.

But, Kaley decided she didn’t want to try her luck on securing the same wedding date, so she had another tattoo inked over the original: it’s a moth … a moth that looks a lot like the moth on the Silence of the Lambs poster.

And now someone is out looking for fava beans and a nice Chianti.

And speaking of divorces …

After Chris Rock filed for divorce from his wife of 18 years, Malaak Compton-Rock, it began to get real ugly. They fought over custody of their children and over money, naturally, but now there’s a whole new sub-basement of ugly.

See, back in 2008, a girl from South Africa named Ntombi began living with the Rocks; Ntombi’s biological parents live in South Africa, so no one really knows why she moved into the Rock house, except that she did and was treated like a Rock off-spring, even attending events with Chris. And that’s where the ugly comes in …

Around the time that Chris filed divorce papers, South African officials started looking closely at how Ntombi ended up in the US. See, there is ALLEGEDLY no record of the Rocks adopting Ntombi; Chris never signed papers to legally adopt Ntombi and it was Malaak who brought her to the US.

And so, while Chris regularly sees his 2 biological daughters, he hasn’t once seen or spoken to Ntombi in over a year and his people say he doesn’t have a child, adopted or otherwise, named Ntombi.

Nice father, Chris; you’ve been treating this girl like a daughter since she was a baby and now? Not so much.

Another divorce story?

This week a Manhattan judge shish-kebabed Stephanie March, the former wife of celebrity chef and adulterer Bobby Flay for hauling him into court over some old Food Network videos.

Though Flay and March finalized their divorce in July, she filed a motion demanding $105,000 for the videos that feature her with Flay and that aired on the Food Network. She claimed the videos violated the divorce agreement that prevented both sides from using one another’s images for profit.

But the judge declared the dinner over, and the gray train halted, because the Food Network spots predate the split and are controlled by the TV channel, not Flay.

Looks like Bobby didn’t get skewered by March …. Again.
