Rapper Heavy D dies at age 44

Hip hop and actor Heavy D, born Dwight Arrington Myers, died today (November 8th) at the far too young age of 44. The "Now That We Found Love" singer was best known for his work in the R&B scene, but the Jamaican-born Heavy D was a known quantity on the screen as well. Indeed, his work as an actor can be seen as recently as "Tower Heist," the Brett Ratner-directed and Eddie Murphy-starring comedy currently playing in theaters.

The actor was found collapsed on a walkway outside his Beverly Hills home earlier Tuesday, and neighbors called 911, according to TMZ. He was pronounced dead at the hospital a short time later. The exact cause of death has not been released yet.

Heavy D reached star status in the 1990s with hits like "Now that we found love" and "Nuttin' but love." Spin Magazine described him as the "Overweight Lover" of hip-hop's golden age. The rapper also composed the theme song to the hit TV show "In Living Color." He had five Top 40 albums and appeared on several tracks for pop stars like Michael Jackson and others, Spin reports.

Miss Venezuela, Ivian Sarcos, Crowned Miss World 2011 Amidst the Protests by Feminist Activists


LONDON – Miss Venezuela, Ivian Sarcos, has been crowned the 2011 winner of the Miss World beauty pageant at a sparkling final ceremony in London.

Miss Venezuela, Ivian Sarcos, Crowned Miss World 2011
"Still here, still angry", more than 200 female activists of Million Women Rise chanted outside Earl's Court in west London yesterday; exactly at the same time when inside the hall  Ivian Sarcos was being crowned as 61st Miss World.

Sabrina Qureshi, the founder of Million Women Rise, said that, far from harmless fun, beauty pageants were a symbol of a society that belittle women in a way that leads to aggression such as the murder of Joanna Yeates.

"We have read that the murderer of Joanna Yeates was using pornography which contained images very similar to how he murdered Joanna," said Ms Qureshi.

More than 40 years back, in 1970, members of a feminist activist group burn their under-garments in protest outside Albert Hall where the beauty pageant was going on.

The Miss World contest has not been broadcast on a major channel in Britain for a decade. But it is watched by more than a billion people worldwide and tickets to the event fetch up to £100m.

Last night; Miss Philippines Gwendoline Ruais became the 1st runner up and Miss Puerto Rico, Amanda Perez, the 2nd runner up. Miss Venezuela looked gorgeous in a large pink feathery gown open in the front as she was being crowned by last year’s Miss World, Alexandria Mills of USA.

“To set the record straight, none of it is true,” 17-year-old singer declared firmly.

"I know I'm going to be a target, but I'm never going to be a victim," Bieber told "Today" host Matt Lauer. "It's crazy, because every night after the show I've gone right from the stage right to my car. So it's crazy that some people want to make up such false allegations."

X Factor results : Chris Rene

After last night's performance of "Superstar" by The Carpenters, infused with a hip-hop second verse, Rene was left to finally find out what the voting public thought of his hybrid stylings. And the results were good.

The verdict is in: Santa Cruz trash collector Chris Rene has advanced to the top 11 on the FOX hit "The X-Factor."

Along with 10 other competitors, Rene learned he was safe, alive to perform again next week. For groups InTENsity and The Stereo Hogzz, the news was less encouraging, as they were named as the bottom two vote-getters.

After a final vocal battle between the two, the four judges voted 3-1 to eliminate InTENsity from contention. Simon Cowell was the only judge to advocate for the ill-fated group.

Tune in next Wednesday at 8 p.m. to see Rene vie for a spot in the top 10.

Exclusive: First Picture of Justin Bieber's Alleged Baby Boy -- LAPD to Investigate Statutory Rape in Bieber-Yeater Case

Justin Bieber's Alleged Baby Boy
LOS ANGELES – Mariah Yeater, who claims Justin Bieber fathered her baby, might be gone through investigations for having sex with a minor, LAPD sources told media.

Mariah Yeater is claiming that Justin Bieber had sex with her in a backstage bathroom after one of the singer's concerts at Staples Center. Yeater gave birth to a baby boy in July, she believes Bieber is the father because there were no other possible men she had sex with at that time.

For instance, if Yeater’s claim is considered as factual then she could be investigated for having sex with a minor because the singer was 16 at the time while she had just turned 19 at that time.

While no offense has been reported, Los Angeles police Cmdr. Andrew Smith told The Associated Press on Thursday that the department could investigate after Mariah Yeater filed the paternity suit against Bieber in San Diego Superior Court.

Justin Bieber baby? Mariah Yeater: Justin Bieber my baby's fathered!

The tabloid reports that Yeater, 20, had sex with Bieber after a concert in Los Angeles last year. She then gave birth to his child three months ago and has filed a paternity lawsuit against the superstar.

In response, Justin’s reps have issued the following statement:

“While we haven’t yet seen the lawsuit, it’s sad that someone would fabricate malicious, defamatory, and demonstrably false claims. We will vigorously pursue all available legal remedies to defend and protect Justin against these allegations.”

If Yeater’s claim is proven true, it would give a whole new meaning to the title of Bieber’s biggest hit.

UPDATE: Yeater has apparently described the night in question, October 25, 2010, in detail to Star. She says:

Justin Bieber found a place where we could be alone — a bathroom. We went inside and immediately his personality changed drastically. He began touching me and repeatedly said he wanted to fuck the shit out of me. At the time I asked him to put a condom for protection, but he insisted that he did not want to.

In his own words, he said that because it was his first time he wanted to feel everything. He was on top of me with my legs around him. At the time I was on top of some type of shelf. The sexual intercourse itself was brief, lasting only approximately 30 seconds.

Kris Humphries Unbelievably Pathetic Reaction to Kim Kardashian Leaving Him

Kim Kardashian's soon-to-be ex-husband is pleading ignorance about their divorce, claiming he didn't know his fame monster wife was going to file divorce papers today:
I'm committed to this marriage and everything this covenant represents. I love my wife and am devastated to learn she filed for divorce... I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make it work.
Is Kris in on Kim's matrimonial shell game? Or is he just a dumb jock incapable of thinking further into the future than, say, dinnertime?

Either way, I hereby move to write an Actual Defense of Marriage Act. ADOMA will establish that no persons should ever be barred from marriage due to sexual orientation, only fame-whore-iness. Many years from now, historians will remember this time as the Great Bridezilla Backlash. Occupy the Kardashians! Occupy David's Bridal!
