Michael Jordan and his wife, Juanita, divorced Friday after 17 years of marriage. "Michael and Juanita Jordan mutually and amicably decided to end their 17 year marriage," the couple said in a statement issued through their lawyers. "A judgment for dissolution of their marriage was entered today. There will be no further statements."

Michael Jordan's lawyer, Frederick J. Sperling, declined comment.

But in court documents filed Friday with the Lake County Circuit Court, the couple said "irreconcilable differences have caused an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage." The couple said attempts to reconcile their marriage had failed and future ones "would be impractical and not in the best interests of the family."

Juanita Jordan previously filed for divorce in January 2002, but withdrew her petition a month later when the couple announced they were attempting a reconciliation.

The couple met at a Chicago restaurant during his second season with the Bulls and were married Sept. 2, 1989, in Las Vegas. They have three children: Jeffrey, 18, Marcus, 16, and Jasmine, 14.

Michael Jordan, 43, lives in Chicago; Juanita Jordan, 47, lives in Highland Park, Ill.

The Jordans, who have lived separately since February, will share custody of their children, according to court documents. (source)

Real men don't fall in love and start wearing flip flops. However, they do accuse the mother of their lovechild of rape, go on a hunt for Krispy Kremes at 2 am and start prayer circles outside of the 106 & Park studios. That's hot.

Trina's Birthday Party Weekend

visit trinafan.com for more pictures from the party

This picture is all types of wrong. I mean really.

Anyway, Katrina LaVerne's Diamond Doll Celebrity (ahem, "celebrity") Birthday Bash Weekend went down earlier this month in Miami. And guess who decided to show up?





Can you believe that Gollum from Lord of The Rings made a special appearance at Trina's all white party?! Now I wouldn't jump the gun and say that these two are a couple again but different sources are claiming that is the case. Whatever, let me find out Trina is Weezy's beard.

Before I continue please allow me to apologize for the lack of updates around this joint. I've been spending most of my holiday season in the hospital. But thanks to Kerney Thomas and his miracle hankie I'm all better.

Here's another soulful video clip from Reh Dogg. His music is like chicken noodle soup for my soul with a sode on the side. That guy is going to go places in 2007, trust me. Thanks Keisha!

Godfather of Soul James Brown Dies

Singer James Brown, the self-proclaimed "Godfather of Soul," who billed himself as the hardest working man in show business, died on Monday at age 73, his manager said.

Brown died at 1:45 a.m. (0645 GMT) at Emory Crawford Long Hospital in Atlanta after being admitted there on Saturday for treatment of severe pneumonia, his manager, Frank Copsidas, said. Charles Bobbit, Brown's longtime friend and personal manager, was at his side, he said.

The singer, also known as "Mr. Dynamite," is credited with bringing the word "funk" into mainstream musical vernacular and influencing a new generation of black music. (continue)

Like AntBee said in an email, a couple of days we laughed along with the comments people wrote about the video posted. Now we can write our condolences.

I usually could care less about Omarion but I couldn't help but notice how zestfully clean he looked at a recent stop at TRL. That poor, poor baby. His forehead is finally starting to show the signs of getting skeeted on by Chris Stokes for all those years.

That boy is about to break out in a fierce vogue at any moment.

Who Wants A Racoon Fur Jacket For Christmas?

R&B artists have a fondness for wearing fur but rapper and sometime designer P. Diddy is under fire for allegedly misleading style setters into thinking a jacket from his winter collection is animal friendly, when in fact it isn't.

The item in question, being sold at Macys, is advertised as having an "imitation rabbit fur collar" and is "nylon/faux fur/goose down".

The reality, apparently, is that the coat is made out of genuine fur.

The Humane Society Of The United States (HSUS) purchased the item believing it to follow their ethics regarding animals as fashion, only to find that the fur in question once belonged to a raccoon.

The society is now doing DNA testing on the fur to establish whether it is from a raccoon dog, a Chinese breed to dog whose coat resembles that of a raccoon.

If it is made certain that the design does involve an animal, Macys has agreed to take the offending item off its shelves. (source)

I'm assuming MJB's label people peeped Nia on YouTube and tapped her for the job. This is great news for the Weather Girls. Yes!

Don't they look . . . nice together.

SOHH Gyant (who also maintains O1LT.com, check him out!) spotted Keyshia Cole front and center last week during rehearsals for Young Jeezy's concert at ATL's Tabernacle. The singer was surrounded by uniformed police officers during the entire session. Um, was that shit really necessary?

According to one of Sandra Rose's industry spies, the couple was seen holding hands as they made their grand entrance [insert sarcastic comment here] at Ludacris' Christmas party on Saturday night. It is also rumored that Jeezy purchased a brand new Ferrari for Keyshia as a Christmas present.
