Fantasia GIVES UP Her Mansion, TURNS Million Dollar HOME Over To The BANK!

It's a good thing Fantasia is crisscrossing around the country to promote her Side Effect Of You disc because its being reported that she DOES NOT have a home to return to. 

Longtime Fanny fans may recall that she'd been have a hard time keeping up with her mortgage payments on her North Carolina home for many many years...and now she's finally thrown in the towel. 

After she avoided foreclosure (at the last minute) in 2009, she put the mini-mansion (feature on VH1 reality show "Fantasia For Real") on the market for $800K, a figure $500K less than what she paid for it.  Still....there were no takers.

Now, recently disclosed court documents revealed that in February, Fantasia decided to skip the foreclosure process and simply turned over the keys to the bank.  On the bright side, all of the pain associated with that process was likely poured into her current hit single "Lose To Win" which has put her back on the charts.

Though Fantasia didn't walk away with a dime for the home she lived it for so many years, I see this as a public downsizing for her. It happens and she’s already brought something smaller and will start all over again! Good thing her new CD looks promising!

Falcons Player Loses House

Former NFL star Jamal Anderson took a beating on his Georgia mansion … TMZ has learned his primo crib was sold off at a foreclosure auction … for $225,000 LESS than what Jamal paid.

Jamal — who played for the Atlanta Falcons from 1994 to 2001 — bought the MASSIVE 10-bedroom, 9-bath crib way back in 1999 (when he had an NFL contract) for $1.225 million.

According to official records, Anderson defaulted on his mortgage … so the bank foreclosed the home and recently sold it at auction for an even $1,000,000.

It was a STEAL for the buyer … the pad is over 6,000 square feet, sits on 2 acres and is rockin’ a separate guest house, arcade room, media room, pool and spa.

In other Jamal news … TMZ has learned he just paid off that $1.1 million federal tax lien. Yay.

R.Kelly & Justin Bieber Hang Out Like Besties ?

Apparently, R.Kelly believes he and Justin Bieber are on the same legendary level.  Check out his tweet inside, plus Frank Ocean's new single and Prince's new Billboard cover with some new music....

R.Kelly shocked all of Instagram yesterday (ok, maybe just us) when he posted a pic of him and the Biebs chillin' this past weekend.  He said:

Hanging with the homie @justinbieber this weekend #legends

Oh?  We guess an 18-year-old who's been in the game about 5 years could be a legend in his own right as he has been a top selling artist of this decade.  But let's not throw him on the level of the Kells just yet....

Seems like these two could be working on some new music together.  Could be good....

Timbaland Sues For $1.8 Million Watch

Timbaland is still crying over that $1.8 MILLION watch that went missing two years ago (wouldn’t you be?) — and now he’s filed a lawsuit against his insurance company … claiming it REFUSES to cough up the cash to cover his claim.

According to a lawsuit filed against American Home Assurance Company last month, the music mogul claims he paid over $50,000 to take out a policy with AHA back in May 2010. Timbaland says the policy covered a slew of expensive items, including his Jacob & Co. 18K white gold watch, loaded with over 30 CARATS of diamonds!!!

In the suit, Timbaland claims he lost the watch in August 2010 and filed a claim with AHA — and even testified under oath that it was missing — but the company DENIED his request and hasn’t paid a dime.

But there’s a twist … this is the SAME watch Timbaland reported stolen two years ago — which is when his family called the cops … claiming he was so distraught by the loss they feared he might commit suicide. Timbaland was adamant he never planned to kill himself.

At the time, he told the L.A. County Sheriff’s department he felt “someone he knows” stole the bling and they opened an investigation.

In the suit, the rapper says he believes (and testified under oath) it was his two-and-a-half-year-old daughter who “picked [the watch] up and played with it until she became bored and discarded it somewhere.”

He adds, “It has never been found.”

Timbaland is suing for $1.8 million — the value of the watch — plus interest and attorneys’ fees.

Fan Gets Tackle-Hugged By LeBron James After Hitting A Half Court Hook Shot For $75,000

Let us set the scene for you. During a timeout of the Miami Heat/Detroit Pistons game, Fifty-year-old computer technician Michael Drysch from McHenry, Ill. was chosen to shoot a hook shot from half-court at a chance to win $75,000.

What happened afterwards was just completely awesome. The odds of making this trick shot in front of 20,000 people is truly one of the most difficult and nearly impossible shots to hit in all of basketball.

But there was Drysch, with one hand on a basketball from half court and took his hook shot heave towards the basket only to have it hit nothing but net to an eruption at the American Airlines Arena.

Drysch was elated, but nobody could've been more excited to see him hit the shot than LeBron James himself. The three-time NBA MVP ran towards the fan at halfcourt and hug tackled the guy like they both had just won an NBA Championship. It was one of those "sports is kind of awesome" moments that happens every once in a while.

"When he wound up I was like, 'Oh no, there's no way,'" James said after the game. "When it dropped, that was awesome. I would have probably air-balled that one in that situation."

"That was crazy," Heat guard Dwyane Wade said. "The place erupted. It was like it was when we won the finals."

What makes it funnier is that Spolestra was in the middle of drawing up a play when James sprinted out to celebrate.

"I heard the eruption, and I turned and I saw LeBron absolutely tackle him," Spoelstra said.

"I had no idea what was going on. That fan, while he'll love the $75,000, having that on video — LeBron James tackling you at half court in front of 20,000 — I think will be the longer-lasting memory."

A Few Washington Redskins’ Players Almost Get Catfished

A few Washington Redskin players almost get catfished, when they almost fell victim to a half naked girl on Twitter and Instagram named @RED_RIDN_H00D aka “Sidney Ackerman”

According to reports from NFL.com, Phillip Daniels, the Redskins’ director of player development, he has instructed several players not to talk to “Sidney Ackerman.”

Via NFL.com

NFL.com has learned that NFL security conducted an investigation into a situation involving a woman, known by the pseudonym Sidney Ackerman, who used pictures of an Internet adult entertainer, C.J. Miles, to establish dialogues with pro athletes.

According to multiple sources, the conversations occurred mostly through Twitter’s direct messaging function. But in some instances, “Ackerman” also sent separate photos of Miles to players’ cell phones, never suggesting the photos were not her own, as conversations endured on and off for months.

“If you think about it, a lot of them are single guys, and they see somebody who looks good in a picture or something,” Daniels said. “In many cases, it involves someone who is a fan of the team, so they’ll start talking about the team. You have to recognize that something just isn’t right.

“But you’re talking about a lot of guys who are single. I don’t fault the guys. I fault the people who are doing this crazy stuff, causing these problems.”

On multiple occasions, several Redskins players attempted to arrange meetings with “Ackerman,” but none of them succeeded, Daniels said. The numerous failed attempts led to suspicion, and Daniels then received some independent information about the possibility that “Ackerman” indeed was a fake.

Unlike Te’o, none of the Redskins players involved became emotionally attached to “Ackerman,” instead pursuing her out of nothing more than physical appeal, sources close to the situation said. “Ackerman” also sent at least one player a pornographic video of Miles, which she also claimed to be of herself. On certain occasions, “Ackerman” also doctored photos of Miles in an attempt to personalize them and provide the athletes with a sense that she indeed was the person she claimed to be.

Damn, this would of been a great episode on Catfish…..don’t you think?

Michelle Williams Rehearses For "FELA", ADDRESSES "Beyonce-Gate" On "GMA"

Destiny's Child member Michelle Williams was spotted singing and dancing during rehearsals for the touring company of 'FELA!' at the Pearl Studios in New York City.  She is playing the role of Sandra Isadore, who was Fela's African-American lover.  Maija Garcia, the tour director and choreographer, spoke of Michelle's addition saying,

"Sandra is our key for an American audience to look at Fela and understand a bit more where Fela may have been coming from.  And an American audience can very much identify with Michelle Williams because she's of our time. She really becomes a vehicle for people to learn about Fela and for people to understand why Fela is relevant in the United States."

She'll be starring alongside Adesola Osakalumiin (who plays Fela Kuti) during the 16-city run.

Michelle in "Fela!" at the Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington, D.C., NOW, before stops through Miami, Atlanta, Cleveland, Dallas, Los Angeles, Seattle, Nashville, Tenn and other locales.

Chief Keef & His Mother Flash Gang Signs On

And now we know why these damn kids are like they are!! Chief Keef is back in the news yet again. An Instagram photo featuring Keef, his mother and cousin Fredo Santana flashing gang signs has started going viral.

The photo, taken late last year, features the Chicago rapper and family members all flashing the “O Block” sign, an offshoot faction of the violent Black Disciples street gang.  This latest bit of controversy adds to a growing list of instances involving the 17-year-old Windy City native, including the shooting death of a stepbrother and the "I Don't Like" rapper's current 2-month stint in juvenile detention sentence for parole violation.

Check out the full pic, and others Sosa may want to consider removing,

Not much is known about Chief Keef's mother, save for a few scattered photos on the Web. It is known that the artist is not close to his father, Alfosno Cozart; this according to a report from DNAinfo.com Chicago after Keef's stepbrother Ulysses "Chris" Gissendanner III was slain.

Keef's long-rumored gang affiliations have been fodder for the media ever since the unsolved killing of rival rapper and alleged gang member Joseph “Lil JoJo” Coleman launched a police investigation.

With recent reports of a $6 million Interscope record deal on the line and a child support lawsuit from a middle school girl, Chief Keef's management team has more damage control to undertake after this latest snafu since parole boards don't take kindly to parolees kicking it with gangs.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THE HARBAUGH BOWL!

 49ers and Ravens -- and Harbaugh brothers -- to face off in Super Bowl XLVII

One Harbaugh will win Super Bowl XLVII. Another will lose it.

That much is guaranteed after the San Francisco 49ers, coached by Jim Harbaugh, and the Baltimore Ravens, led by his brother John Harbaugh, beat their respective foes in conference championship games Sunday. Those wins mean the Harbaughs will be the first siblings to face off as head coaches in the NFL's title contest and, in fact, for any major U.S. professional sports championship.

Both teams rallied from halftime deficits on the road to earn berths in the Super Bowl, which will be played February 3 in New Orleans.

Baltimore did it by reeling off 21 straight points to overcome Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. It was sweet revenge for the Ravens, who lost last year's nail-biter AFC Championship to the same Patriots foe on the same Gillette Stadium field in Foxborough, Massachusetts.

A few hours earlier, the 49ers rallied from a 17-0 hole to defeat the Atlanta Falcons, who had posted the best regular season record in the NFC.

John Harbaugh joked to reporters, after the Ravens' win, that he and his brothers had a "few dreams" -- one of which may have been meeting up in the Super Bowl -- as well "as a few fights ... just like all brothers."

"We'll let the two teams duke it out, as much as possible," John Harbaugh said, smiling.

The Baltimore coach then made a point to talk about how proud he was of his brother Jim, as well as how much he admired the San Francisco team.

"I'd like to think that when you look at (the) two teams, you're looking at mirror images," John Harbaugh said, referring to the Super Bowl foes. "It's going to be a great football game."

Baltimore's dominant second half leads to win

Beyond their recent playoff history, Baltimore and New England matched up earlier this season -- one in which the Ravens came back from a late 9-point deficit, winning on a last-second field goal by Justin Tucker.

Still, victory Sunday evening was hardly guaranteed.

New England had the superior regular record, not to mention a storied playoff pedigree having played in five Super Bowls in the past 11 years. They also had Brady, who last Sunday passed Joe Montana as the quarterback with the most playoff wins ever.

And the Patriots started out strong, jumping to a 3-0 lead and -- after a Baltimore score -- entering halftime up 13-7.

But the second half was all Baltimore. The Ravens scored touchdowns on their first three possessions, two of them on Joe Flacco touchdown passes to receiver Anquan Boldin.

Meanwhile, the vaunted Patriots offense sputtered, hurt especially by a Stevan Ridley fumble and two Brady interceptions. Baltimore ended up winning 28-13.

"We came here last year and left with a bitter taste in our mouths," Baltimore's Boldin told reporters after the game. "We felt like this team took something away from us. And we wanted to come back and make that right."

49ers rally, hold on for 28-24 victory

Led by quarterbacks Montana and Steve Young, San Francisco was one of the NFL's top franchises through much of the 1980s and 1990s.

But the 49ers haven't been in the Super Bowl in 1995, and their 2000s were marred by mostly losing regular seasons.

The team's fortunes, however, have turned since the 2011 hiring of Jim Harbaugh, a former NFL quarterback himself who'd been coaching at nearby Stanford. The next season, they made it to the NFC Championship, only to fall to the eventual Super Bowl winners, the New York Giants.

On Sunday, trailing by three scores midway through the second quarter, San Francisco rallied for two quick touchdowns -- one on a LaMichael James 11-yard run, the other on a four-yard reception by tight end Vernon Davis.

Still, Atlanta maintained its slim advantage -- in part thanks to a missed field goal and a fumble by the 49ers Michael Crabtree just inches from the end zone -- into the fourth quarter. But then, running back Frank Gore scored from nine yards out to put San Francisco ahead 28-24.

At this point, there were still just over eight minutes left in the game.

Atlanta -- paced by quarterback Matt Ryan, known as "Matty Ice" for his strong play in the waning minutes of games -- made a run. With just over a minute to go, the Falcons got within striking distance of the goal line. But San Francisco defenders broke up two straight passes, effectively sealing the win.

After the game, San Francisco linebacker Patrick Willis said the 49ers prevailed because they refused to give up and stuck together as a team, just as they have all season long.

"One thing about our team all year long is that we continue to fight," Willis told Fox, which broadcast the game. "We have an unbelievable team."

Dawn Richard Brings The Blue Lip Back For SFPL

There are only a few chicks that can rock that bold blue lip and Dawn Richard is one of them.

Just in time for her Goldenheart album release, which is available on Itunes, she’s looking crazy fierce as she rocks the cover of SFPL’s January Digital Cover. In the photo spread, she alternates between a high bun and long braid as she models leather and Louboutins.

She also dishes on what influenced her latest project:

I feel like now we’re in a time where we are very divided, angry, and we hate a lot. I think with my music what I am trying to do is build an army of people who fight for something together instead of against each other. With that inspiration I wanted you to have the “Armor On” to guard yourself and prepare for the battle. What goes on in the album is that we actually stand together and fight for one another on the front line and we’re not fighting against each other, we’re fighting with each other for the people who don’t believe that we’re beautiful enough, great enough, brown enough, or white enough.

Frank Ocean Nominated For GLAAD Media Award

Frank Ocean may want to invest in a trophy case—if he hasn't already. Ocean has been nominated for a GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) Media Award.

The New Orleans native has been spotlighted alongside Gossip, the Scissor Sister, Rufus Wainwright, and American Idol alum, Adam Lambert, in the  Outstanding Music Artist category. “Images and stories from the LGBT community continued to push support for equality to historic levels,” said GLAAD President Herndon Graddick in a statement. “This year's nominees enlighten and entertain, but also reflect a new American landscape where a growing majority accept and value their LGBT family, colleagues and friends. Now more than ever,viewers not only accept gay and transgender characters and plot lines, they accept them—just as they both accept and expect LGBT people to be a valuable part of their everyday lives.”

Ocean came out of the closet last summer, just ahead of the release of his Channel Orange debut, revealing that his first love was a man. He is rumored to be dating model, Willy Cartier.

Aside from his latest awards nod, he's also been nominated for six Grammys including  Best New Artist, and Record of The Year.

Nike Unveils 2013 Black History Month Collection

Nike has revealed its 2013 Black History Month (BHM) collection and it pays tribute to three athletes:  soccer player Didier Drogba, tennis player Serena Williams and NBA star Kevin Durant.

From Nike's press release:

A consistent design aesthetic weaves through each product in the collection, with a color palette including black, grey and brown highlighted in orange. The color orange is particularly meaningful with its bold hue and tie to Nike's DNA since its 1972 inception.

Each of the three iconic athletes will get their own logo tied to the collection.

 

Drogba's is a light bulb morphed with a soccer ball, representing his ongoing involvement in bringing solar light bulbs to impoverished areas in Africa. Williams' icon consists of a tennis ball emanating with lightning bolts, showing how she empowers young women, especially through the secondary school she helped build in Kenya. Durant's icon represents the hopes and dreams of young athletes, with a basketball hoop merging with a cloud formation, a nod to the support he has given to his hometown recreation center in Seat Pleasant, Maryland...

The shoes in the collection, as well as apparel, are courtesy of  Nike Sportswear and Nike Basketball. They include the Nike Lunar Force 1, Nike Air Force 1 Foamposite Hi, Nike Dunk Sky Hi and Nike Air Force 1 Downtown from Nike Sportwear side, while the the Zoom KD V, LeBron X and Kobe 8 System from the Nike Basketball side.

Jennifer Hudson Breaking Baby Promise?

Jennifer Hudson's fiance David Otunga has made no secret of the fact that he wants to get married and have more children with Jennifer, so why is Jennifer dragging her feet..?

Insiders tell Star Magazine, 

“When their son’s third birthday passed in August, David reminded her of her promise, but she couldn’t believe he was asking that just as she finally reached her target weight. The fight escalated with David telling Jennifer she is choosing looks over family.”

To keep the peace with her fiancé of three years, the Oscar winner finally agreed to try again when David Jr. turns five.

Was Yandy Smith & Mandeecees FIRED from LHHNY?

The rumors, speculation and buzz about the third season of Mona Scott-Young’s ‘Love & Hip Hop’ (NY) are running at a rampant pace. Earlier today, we caught wind of a rumor suggesting that because of some negative legal press both Yandy Smith and (her boyfriend/baby-daddy)  Mandeeceess Harris’ were being dropped from the VH1 show.

Tattle Tailzz reported:

34-year-old Mandeeceess Harris’ upcoming trial over charges he sexually assaulted a minor , has led Mona Scott the producers of Love & Hip Hop to drop  both Yandy and Mandeecees  from the cast. Sources say their decision stems from fear of possible heat they may generate over their lack of background checks of their cast. That’s why we’re told producers of the VH1 reality showwere previously busy editing out the ousted pair from their most recently broadcast episode.

Is there any truth to this? According to the show’s producer, Mona Scott-Young, absolutely false. On twitter, she responded to the story, saying:

~Not true at all..

And in more pleasant news, Yandy and Mandeeceess’ son, Omere, turned six months this week.

CUTE!!!!

Jermaine Dupri Saves His Crib One More Time

Jermaine Dupri almost went into foreclosure once or twice or three times [click here, here and here if you missed that], and he just saved his house from going on the auction block again...

According to TMZ

Jermaine rescued his home -- filing an emergency motion just days after Christmas, insisting the foreclosure company has continually failed to prove that Jermaine actually owes the money it claims he does.

The company claims he owes roughly $410,000 on the home -- Jermaine insists he only owes $111,845.

The judge sided with Jermaine -- despite the producer admitting in the court docs that he hasn't made a mortgage payment since November 2011 -- and canceled the auction.

A hearing on the debt dispute has not been scheduled yet.

Woman Steals Police Car Arrested At McDonald’s

A woman stole a St. Petersburg police cruiser Saturday night and drove it to Tampa, where she fled from the car before being arrested, police said.

It all started at 9:27 p.m. when two officers, driving separate cars, arrived at the scene of a domestic quarrel at an apartment at 980 62nd Ave. S. While the officers were inside the apartment, a woman, later identified as Vanessa Brooks, 22, flagged down a passing truck on 62nd Avenue, police said.

After the driver stopped, Brooks reached inside the truck, grabbed a cellphone, and ran back into the apartment complex, police said.

As the driver chased her, Brooks made her way to where the officers had parked their cars. She jumped inside one, grabbed the keys, which were not in the ignition, and started the car, police said. As Brooks backed the car up, she collided with the other police car, causing damage. She then took off, police said.

At 9:41 p.m., the officers came back outside and discovered the missing car. They alerted other officers of the theft and notified Tampa police and the Florida Highway Patrol to be on the lookout for the stolen car, authorities said.

At 9:58 p.m., Tampa police officers saw the car in the parking lot of a McDonald’s restaurant at 1600 Kennedy Blvd., police said. Brooks ran from the car and officers chased and arrested her. Meanwhile, the car, which was left in gear, rolled backward and collided with a tree, police said.

Brooks is facing charges of vehicle burglary, auto theft and leaving the scene of a crash. She was in the process of being booked in the Pinellas County Jail late Saturday night, police said.
