Usher's Wife, Tameka Foster Is Released From The Hospital



Tameka Foster has finally been released from the Brazilian Hospital:

Usher’s wife is finally out of the hospital after spending more than a week at a swanky facility in Brazil. Tameka Foster Raymond was released Monday night from Sao Paulo’s Hospital Sirio Libanes, a source tells the Associated Press, where she was admitted after suffering complications from plastic surgery. Her husband was spotted boarding a plane to the U.S. Tuesday without his wife. Raymond is on the road to recovery from a heart attack she suffered during a lipsuction procedure and is currently taking…… antibiotics to fight a lung infection, according to Brazil’s Globo TV. Raymond underwent the procedure a mere two months after giving birth to the couple’s second son, Naviyd Ely. Patients should wait six to eight months after giving birth to have the procedure, the president of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery tells the Daily News. Usher canceled a scheduled performance at record mogul Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy bash on Nov. 7 to fly to his wife’s side, citing an illness in the family. The singer’s rep released a statement soon after, which said Raymond was “suffering complications from a routine surgery,” adding, “no further details will be released, and the family requests privacy at this difficult time.”

Michelle Obama Hosts Black History Month Celebration @ The White House!



Michelle Obama doing her thing in the White House:
Mrs. Obama seemed a bit surprised when the sixth- and seventh-graders from three local schools said yes, they knew slaves helped build the White House, that President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation upstairs in a bedroom named for him, and that the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and other civil rights leaders met in the building with Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson to discuss the end of segregation.

“So you guys know your history. That’s a good thing,” she said. “That means your parents and teachers are doing their jobs.”

Mrs. Obama encouraged them to look beyond the names in the history books and to “think about the extraordinary people who live in your own world,” like parents, grandparents and teachers, “all those folks who play important roles in black history and American history every single day.”

She said they will write history’s next chapter and they should work hard every day, always put their best foot forward, even when no one is looking, and support their families at home by making their beds
, putting away dishes and cleaning their rooms. “That’s part of the preparation,” said Mrs. Obama, whose daughters, Malia and Sasha, sat in the front row with her mother, Marian Robinson.

Dwyane Wade Decides To Do The Suing



Dwyane says "so you want to sue me, let's see how you like it":
Dwyane Wade sued his estranged wife and two of her lawyers Wednesday over accusations the Miami Heat star contracted a sexually transmitted disease through an extramarital affair. In the lawsuit, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press, Wade is seeking at least $50,000 in damages from each defendant. Siohvaughn Wade said last month the player infected her with an unspecified disease in 2007. Weeks later, she withdrew the claim from the court hearing the divorce case for unknown reasons. That wasn’t enough to satisfy the 2006 NBA finals MVP, who said her allegations not only defamed him, but caused “embarrassment” and “humiliation” along with damaging future earning potential. “It has been difficult….. to see false allegations, rumors and gossip repeatedly discussed in public about my personal life,” Dwyane Wade said in a statement released to the AP. “I had no other choice but to file this action in order to clear my name.” Wade declined further comment. The All-Star guard also lists attorneys Michael Berger and Dorene Marcus as defendants, along with their firms, contending they wronged him in the same manner as his estranged wife. The suit was filed in Chicago, where the divorce proceedings have gone on for nearly a year. “Mr. Wade has been the victim of a reckless campaign by Siohvaughn Wade and her lawyers to publicly humiliate him and damage his reputation,” Joe Power, an attorney representing the Heat player, said in a statement to the AP. “To clear the public record from these false and malicious allegations, we have filed a defamation suit in court … and will seek appropriate compensation for damages.” Siohvaughn Wade’s claim made “by and through her attorneys, and disseminated by various print and online media throughout the world placed plaintiff Dwyane Wade in a false light,” according to the lawsuit.

“We believe there’s absolutely no merit to it,” Berger said. “I believe that the lawsuit will get dismissed. It seems interesting to me Wade would file a lawsuit like this when he supposedly wants to keep a low profile. This lawsuit will put his entire private and social life in full view of the public.” Berger added that even though the original claim by Siohvaughn Wade was withdrawn, “Mrs. Wade has stood behind her allegations.” In the allegations filed in January, along with the claims of affairs and being infected with an STD, Siohvaughn Wade said her husband abandoned their children and goes weeks at a time without speaking to them. She added that the paternal relationship was so severed that her younger son cries uncontrollably when he’s around and he does not recognize Dwyane Wade as his father. Siohvaughn Wade’s withdrawal of the claim wouldn’t prevent her from resubmitting it to court at a later date. The divorce proceedings are not expected to end anytime soon.

Tupac's Mother Being Sued By Hollywood



Tupac's mother Afeni, is being sued by Hollywood:

The mother of TUPAC SHAKUR is facing legal action after allegedly backing out of a deal to sell the rights to the late rapper’s life story for a film adaptation. Amaru Entertainment, which is run by Afeni Shakur, the star’s mother and the executor of his estate, is being sued by film production company Morgan Creek.

In papers filed at Los Angeles Superior Court, officials at the production house allege a written contract was in place for the rights to the California Love hitmaker’s life story.
They claim Afeni backed out of negotiations, which began in November (08), and is now refusing “to honor and perform a contract of a production of the film based on the life of Tupac Shakur”.
The company is seeking unspecified damages.

But lawyers for Amaru have denied existence of any such deal with Morgan Creek - and claim the production company only filed the writ to sabotage talks with other movie studios about adapting Shakur’s life story.

Attorney Skip Miller says, “There is no agreement with Morgan Creek, there never was, and there never will be. “They have scared away Paramount, Fox and others, and we are going to sue them and recover millions (in damages).” Lawyers for Morgan Creek declined to comment on the allegations.
