Murphy, Edmonds Split

After only two weeks of wedded bliss, Eddie Murphy and Tracy Edmonds have decided to end their relationship.

"After much consideration and discussion, we have jointly decided that we will
forego having a legal ceremony as it is not necessary to define our relationship
further.

While the recent symbolic union in Bora Bora was representative
of our deep love, friendship and respect that we have for one another on a
spiritual level, we have decided to remain friends."

Cass: See this is the reason people take marriage as a joke. Marriage is a sacred union that should be shared by two people who are willing to MAKE IT WORK. Marriage is just like any other endeavor. It takes TIME and COMMITMENT. Marriage is an INVESTMENT, just like a house, a career, or an education.

Supahead: Free and clear of Bill Maher

*Karrine "Superhead" Steffans says she is free and clear of her on-and-off again boyfriend Bill Maher, who hosts his own political-themed roundtable show on HBO.


The video vixen-turned-best-selling author has aired out all of the TV host's dirty laundry to various members of the media, including EUR's Lee Bailey and next month's issue of Vibe magazine.


She says, "Bill wants someone he can put down in an argument, tell you how ghetto you are, how big your butt is, and that you're an idiot. That's why you never see him with a white girl or an intellectual.


"I might as well have been a Muslim woman with my head wrapped, walking 10 paces behind my man. [But] I couldn't be 'Bill Maher's girlfriend' anymore - not when I'm Karrine Steffans . . . best-selling author."

CB: Correct me if I am wrong, isnt't she supposedly engage to Eddie Winslow (bka Darius McCrary)?? WTH??

Thanks to Sheila for the link!

Bynum's husband has financial troubles

What is done in the dark, shall come to light...

When Bishop Thomas Weeks allegedly beat his estranged wife, Juanita Bynum, he had other issues on his mind. It is reported that Weeks were having financial troubles as well.

The station [Fox 5 Atlanta] reports that there is more than $100,000 in judgments against Weeks. He reportedly owes the Xerox Corporation $63,000; Tiffany and Company jewelry store says he hasn't paid the $22,000 he owes; a credit card company says Weeks is in arrears for $13,000; and Ford Motor Credit has a $6,000 judgment against him. Three of the creditors, according to The Associated Press, say they still haven't received a dime from Weeks.

The Global Destiny Ministries pastor is close to losing the church he and Bynum built, and he was evicted from his Duluth, Ga., home in late June, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. (SOURCE)

Bynum says Weeks choked her, pushed her down, and stomped her in the parking lot of an Atlanta hotel. A hotel bellhop intervened and stopped Weeks from attacking Bynum.

So what was the motive behind the attack???

Bynum was questioning Weeks about being gay. According to TransWorldNews she was uncomfortable and upset with his close relationships he had with some men in the church.

In other JB news, she has filed for divorce from Weeks.

She says she will still loves Weeks.

“I’m not crying just because I was kicked or I was choked. There’s more to it than that for me. I know that scars heal, but I lost somebody that I loved very much. I know people go through this saying I loved him. No, I love him,” Bynum said.

“My love for Bishop Weeks I don’t think will ever die. I said this to someone yesterday, my love for him, separating what I experienced in that parking lot, I have enough love. It’s so much until I think I can marry him twice, but this one is over,” she added.

Shaq Files For Divorce

Yesterday, Miami Heat center Shaquille O'Neal filed to divorce his wife of five years, Shaunie.

The two wed in December 2002 in a lavish ceremony. Shaq and Shaunie have four children together -- Shareef, 7, Amirah, 5, Shaqir, 4, and Me'Arah, 1. Shaq has a daughter, Taahirah, and Shaunie has a son, Myles, from previous relationships.

''The marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken,'' says his petition, filed Tuesday by attorney Ira Elegant. Shaunie, he says, has been ''secretive about her assets . . . particularly with respect to certain properties owned or titled in either [her] name alone or in other entities.'' He wants the court to order Shaunie to give a ''correct accounting of all money, funds, stocks, bonds, and other securities (including bearer securities)'' that she came into during the marriage.

I hope they had exhausted all avenues before deciding to divorce.
