OVAHNESS! Naomi Campbell SPENDS MILLIONS On LAVISH 50th Birthday Party For Boyfriend Vladimir Doronin

Supermodel Naomi Campbell spared no expense when it came to boyfriend Vladimir Doronin's 50th birthday bash this week. She chartered 13 private planes and flew nearly 200 guests to India where they resided at the 15th century Mehrangarh Fort in Jodpur (a two-night stay costs $1,700).  Damn! 

The couple and their celeb guests like Kate Moss, Eva Herzigova, Karolina Kurkova and Zac Posen ferried around in Rolls Royce cars for the two-day themed party. 

On Monday night, the guests donned Indian regalia (Naomi is shown above in her sari) and lounged on plush sofas for a relaxed and chic affair.  Then on Wednesday, Naomi had the guests come in 1930s black tie party as she transformed the fort into an Art Deco nightclub.  There's no dollar amount on love, apparently. 

Edward Enninfu, who serves as W Magazine Fashion & Style Director, was among the A-list attendees and he tweeted plenty of pics from the birthday fest. Above, he posed with Naomi during Wednesday night's party saying, 'Naomi Campbell is throwing the most amazing party right now in India xoxo #partyoftheyear.' 

Fashion photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot got on the other side of the lens and posed with Na Na. 

And Kate Moss, Naomi's BFF, who recently posed with Rihanna for "V" magazine, was there to celebrate Vladimir.  This chick still looks (pretty much) as young as she did in those Calvin Klein ads. 

The A-list crowd was entertained by the legendary Diana Ross (who was paid a hefty $500,000 performance fee).   
And the atmosphere........ 
Monday evening was very plush and comfortable... 

Also featured fireworks and 1930s big band fun.   

How many of Naomi's friends are lining up to have her host their next birthday party too?

Lady Gaga SNUBS Madonna for a Collabo 

Madonna and Gaga are still at odds, Gaga recently rejected Madonna’s offer to work together. 
Madonna sent Gaga an invite to do a perform with her, and Gaga politely declined. 

According to Huffington Post: 
“In her MDMA tour, Madonna includes a snippet of Gaga’s “Born This Way” in her rendition of “Respect Yourself” — a heavy wink at the similarity between the two songs. This after Madonna told an ABC interviewer last January that the Gaga composition sounded both familiar and “reductive.” But at a recent tour stop in St. Paul, Minn., Madonna says she holds no grudges against the next-generation pop star, and had even asked her to join her for a duet. “I have the best fans in the whole world. So take that, Lady Gaga!” Madonna told the crowd. “You know, I invited her onstage to sing with me. But, she turned me down. It’s okay. I’ve been rejected before. It builds a little character.” Madonna’s last North American tour stop is Nov. 20 in Miami, then she takes off for the South American leg of her tour. 



In Foolywang news: Jermaine Jackson Changing Last Name for ‘Artistic Reasons’ 

Apparently something’s happened in Jermaine Jackson‘s world that’s caused him to want to pull a Ron Artest and change his name. 
Actually, according to TMZ, the change he wants to make is not as dramatic as Artest becoming Metta World Peace. Nope, Jermaine just wants to change the spelling of his last name from Jackson to … Jacksun. 

Yep, Jacksun. 
Jermaine Jackson filed a petition for a change of name with L.A. County Superior Court yesterday asking for the change in nomenclature. 
In the docs, Jermaine says he wants to make the change for “artistic reasons” … but he does not give any further details about the move. 
The request has NOT yet been approved by a judge — but a hearing has been scheduled. 
Barring any crazy legal situations, Jermaine will be required to have his name change announced publicly several times in the next couple of months before it can be made official.  A public announcement consists of having the name printed in a local publication … just like Ron Artest had to do when he changed his name to Metta World Peace. 

By the way, that hearing on whether Jackson will become Jacksun is scheduled for Feb. 22 in Los Angeles. 
Meanwhile, there’s been no response from Jermaine Jackson, TMZ says. 


Kim Zolciak’s Ex Boyfriend, ‘Big Poppa’ Arrested In Atlanta 

If you’re one of the original fans of the ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’, then the name ‘Big Poppa’ is quite familiar to you. At one point, about two or three seasons ago, Kim Zolciak (one of the cast members) was in a romantic relationship with a man whom she referred to as ‘Big Poppa’. Viewers never actually saw his face or knew his real name, but were introduce to him via Kim. Long story short, the relationship was a big deal because Big Poppa was married to another, but was in a relationship with Kim and was financially supportive of her (on a few episodes he purchased gifts for her like cars, jewelry, etc.). 
Fast forward to the present day and his identify has been revealed. Compliments of TMZ, we’ve learned that his real name is Lee Najjar. Not only that he’s had a serious run-in, with the law. But pipe down, it’s really not that juicy. He was arrested for failing to appear in court. The site reports: 

Najjar had a bench warrant out for his arrest for failing to appear in court to face allegations he failed to maintain a storm water system at one of his properties.Najjar has already been hit with a $75,000 fine for violating the ordinance and was supposed to appear in court on July 5 … but apparently, he blew off his court date. 
Anywho, we won’t be hearing from Big Poppa on RHOA anytime soon. Kim and the kiddos have moved on and are happily married to NFL’er Kroy. 


Tamar Pregnant???? 
Tamar Braxton Is Pregnant, Starts Twitter Beef After Pregnancy News is Leaked 

Congrats are in order for Tamar Braxton, who we hear is expecting her first child. 
According to SandraRose (one of our favorite celebrity bloggers) Tamar Braxton and her husband Herbert are expecting their first child together. Here’s what that ugly ass beast SandraRose is reporting : 

According to a confidential source, Tamar, who is barren, was artificially inseminated by in vitro fertilization. Congrats to Tamar’s husband, Vince Herbert, who has struggled to get Tamar pregnant. 

Tamar and Vince are in Las Vegas attending the 2012 Soul Train Awards. According to my source, Vince recently underwent lap band surgery, and as a result he has lost a ton of weight. 
Shortly after the news leaked Tamar and Sandra Rose had a brief twitter beef leading to Tamar Braxton blocking SandraRose and anyone who follows the monster. 

And hence began the twitter war between Tamar and Sandra. 

SandraRose apologized to her twitter fans for getting out of character and Tamar has yet to confirm or deny the pregnancy….OH WELLS!

Update: Cee Lo Green Has Past With Alleged Sexual Assault Victim  

The woman who is accusing Cee Lo Green of alleged sexual assault has not given up on her story of him drugging and sexually assaulting her on their first date. See more inside. 
TMZ has learned that the woman and Cee Lo met in February 2011 during the Super Bowl. They did hang out over that weekend. They parted ways after the Super Bowl but did stay in touch. The woman is from Houston. It is said that the two did date on and off for a year an a half which did include spending time together. 

The woman did request many expensive things from Cee Lo according to TMZ’s source. On the day of the alleged assault he had flown her out to LA and they went to a restaurant and both took Ecstasy to stay up all night. No one was ‘unconscious.’ Cee Lo sources have claimed the woman fabricated the story because she’s involved with someone back in Texas. The person she is involved with apparently found out that she was out in LA with Cee Lo. 


More Proof for Tameka? 

When Tameka Raymond filed to over turn the ruling that stripped her of custody of her two sons with Usher, one of her main gripes was that Usher lied about being available to raise the kids because he's constantly on the road. Well Tameka is not going to like this...From NY Daily News 

R&B royalty Usher was spotted at London’s Heathrow Airport Wednesday after crossing the pond on a flight from Atlanta. The globe-trotting 34-year-old is expected to return stateside in time for the American Music Awards Nov. 18 in Los Angeles. Fans of the “Papers” singer can look for him this spring as a coach on NBC’s “The Voice.”

"I don't think marriage is in the future for me right now. I just really don't. And the thing about marriage is that, I believe in it but don't believe in it.

Judge Fires Back at Tameka Raymond 

Last week, after losing primary custody of her sons to her ex-husband Usher, Tameka Raymond filed a motion for a new trial on the grounds that Usher's attorney raised money for presiding Judge Bensonetta Tipton-Lane's re-election campaign [click here if you missed that].

In her rebuttal Judge Tipton-Lane points out Tameka's lawyers did too...

 From the HORRIBLE looking BEAST Sandra Rose 

Judge Lane called Foster-Raymond’s Motion for recusal “baseless, unwarranted and untimely.”

She argued that “Lawyers and law firms routinely contribute to the election and re-election campaigns of both trial and appellate judges.”

And the judge pointed out that Tameka’s own co-counsel was hired by a law firm that also contributed to the judge’s re-election coffers.

Judge Tipton Lane wrote that the court “exercised overwhelming compassion” in giving Tameka leniency, such as presenting witnesses and documents out of order and refusing to identify “assets in which she currently held an interest.”

In addition, the judge wrote, Tameka asked that Usher be “ordered to give her more post-divorce money and even that he buy her a multi-million dollar home!”

“Malia is all on top of her,” she said of the 23-year-old singer. “So she played her new album for me and I picked out a couple songs.”

Elle was shocked to hear the news she took to her twitter page and said:

“OH MY GOD!!” she tweeted. “I literally prayed for this @MichelleObama thank you so much!! I’m so honored and speechless.”

Drew Peterson…GUILTY!

The families of Drew Peterson's third and fourth wives were jubilant when the jury handed down the guilty verdict on last Thursday, finally putting to rest the five-year legal saga that began after the swaggering former Illinois police officer's fourth wife vanished.

Peterson was convicted of killing third wife Kathleen Savio, and now the family of his fourth wife Stacy - who has been missing since 2007 - will be pushing to have him convicted for her murder as well. 

The retired police officer, 58, sat stoically as the verdict was read, pronouncing him guilty of murdering his third wife Kathleen Savio. He faces a maximum 60-year prison term when sentenced on November 26. Illinois has no death penalty.

'Good job,' he said to his lawyers grimly after hearing his fate. 

On his way out of the courtroom, the prosecution attorney heard him say 'What can you do when the deck is stacked?' 

Prosecution attorney Joel Brodsky said that as he was being taken away, Drew Peterson said: 'What can you do when the deck is stacked?'

'The whole world wanted Drew to be convicted. ... It’s a dark day in America when you can convict someone on hearsay evidence. A very dark day,' said Peterson's defense attorney Joseph Lopez.

'Now I can go out there and say he's a murdering b*****d. You can print that. You can put it in a headline,' Savio's brother-in-law Mitch Doman told The Chicago Tribune. 

'It was like a big burden lifted off our shoulders. We knew he did it, but we couldn't do nothing about it.

'We got the b*****d,' he told The Sun Times. 

Kathleen's stepmother Marcia Savio was filled with joy as she left the Illinois courthouse on Thursday. 

'I hope to god he never, ever gets out so he can hurt someone else,' she said.

'I know she’s smiling, I know she’s smiling,' she said of her deceased stepdaughter. 

'Now he can rot in hell!'

Over the course of the investigation and prosecution, Peterson had seemingly taunted authorities, joking on talk shows and even suggesting a 'Win a Date With Drew' contest. His notoriety even inspired a TV movie starring Rob Lowe.

A neighbor found Kathleen Savio's body on March 1, 2004, face down in a dry bathtub of her suburban home outside Chicago. 

Her thick black hair was blood-soaked and she had a 2-inch gash on the back of her head.

The drowning death of the 40-year-old aspiring nurse was initially deemed an accident - a freak slip in the tub. 

After Peterson's fourth wife, 23-year-old Stacy Peterson, went missing in 2007 was Savio's body exhumed, re-examined and her death reclassified as a homicide.

The 12 jurors, who raised eyebrows by donning different color-coordinated clothes each day of testimony, deliberated for 12 hours before reaching a decision. The seven men and five women included a poet, a letter carrier and a man who said his favorite TV show was 'Criminal Minds.'

Peterson had divorced Savio a year before her death. His motive for killing her, prosecutors said, was fear that a pending settlement, which included their $300,000 home, would wipe him out financially.

Fascination nationwide with the former Bolingbrook police sergeant arose from speculation he sought to parlay three decades of law enforcement expertise into getting away with murder.

Prosecutors suspect he killed his fourth wife because she could finger him for Savio's death. 

Stacy Peterson's family hoped a conviction in Savio's murder could lead to charges against Drew Peterson in Stacy's disappearance.

Jurors weren't supposed to link the fourth wife's disappearance to the third's death. Prosecutors were prohibited from even telling jurors Stacy Peterson is presumed dead or that her husband is the lone suspect in her disappearance. He says she ran off with another man and is still alive.

Prosecutors faced enormous hurdles.

They had no physical evidence tying Peterson to Savio's death and no witnesses placing him at the scene. 

They were forced to rely on typically barred hearsay - statements Savio made to others before she died and that Stacy Peterson made before she vanished. 

 Avoiding the stand: Though Peterson has appeared frequently since his arrest (like this 2008 interview on the Today show), he declined the right to testify in his own defense

In 2008, Illinois passed a law tailored to Peterson's case, dubbed 'Drew's Law,' permitting hearsay at trials in rare circumstances.

The hearsay included friend Kristen Anderson testifying that Savio told her Peterson once warned her at knife point, 'I could kill you and make it look like an accident.' 

Savio so feared for her life that she kept a knife under her mattress.

And Stacy Peterson's pastor, Neil Schori, testified she told him that her husband got up from bed and left their house in the middle of the night around the time of Savio's death. 

Crying and hugging her knees, she said Drew Peterson later coached her on how to lie to police.

There was damning testimony not based on hearsay.

A former co-worker of Peterson's, Jeff Pachter, testified that Peterson offered him $25,000 to hire a hit man to kill Savio, though he never followed through. 

After Savio was found dead, Peterson told him, 'That favor I asked you - I don't need it anymore.'

Prosecutors had to establish the most basic fact for a murder trial: that there was actually a murder.

Pathologists testified for the defense that Savio's wounds indicated an accident. 

But equally well-respected pathologists for the state said it was impossible for a single fall to cause both the wound on the back of her head and bruises on the front of her body.

In their three-day case, Peterson's lawyers endeavored to cast doubt on the reliability of key witnesses. They accused Savio's sister, Susan Doman, of jazzing up her testimony to profit from a movie and book deal.

The last defense witness was Peterson's and Savio's 19-year-old son, Thomas Peterson. 

The polite, well-spoken college student cut a sympathetic figure, telling jurors he has never believed his father killed his mom.

Both sides blundered parts of their presentations.

Prosecutors angered the judge several times by broaching subjects previously ruled inadmissible. And as they sought to blunt the credibility of hearsay evidence, the defense ended up prompting their own witness to emphasize that Stacy Peterson was convinced her husband did kill Savio.

Peterson could still win release someday. His lawyers have said they may appeal all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court on grounds Illinois' hearsay law is unconstitutional.

Some legal experts worried about the precedent a conviction at a trial dependent on hearsay would set, saying it could open the floodgates for the admissibility of such evidence in Illinois and elsewhere.

MURDER AND NOT AN ACCIDENT: THE CASE OF KATHLEEN'S DEATH

The biggest challenge facing prosecution attorneys was that because Peterson's third wife's death was originally deemed an accident, very scant evidence was ever collected let alone stored until they decided to reopen the case after his fourth wife Stacy disappeared. 

As a result, much of the testimony in the case was hearsay. 

A neighbor found Kathleen Savio's body on March 1, 2004, face down in a dry bathtub of her suburban home outside Chicago.

Her thick black hair was blood-soaked and she had a 2-inch gash on the back of her head.

The drowning death of the 40-year-old aspiring nurse was initially deemed an accident - a freak slip in the tub.

Some of the testimony from Savio's friends painted a grim portrait of her relationship with he husband. 

Kristen Anderson testified that Savio told her Peterson once warned her at knife point, 'I could kill you and make it look like an accident.'

Savio so feared for her life that she kept a knife under her mattress.

A former co-worker of Peterson's, Jeff Pachter, testified that Peterson offered him $25,000 to hire a hit man to kill Savio, though he never followed through. 

Peterson was 26 years older than his fourth wife when they married, only eight days after his third divorce was finalized. 

Four years later, the 23-year-old went missing in 2007. 

This disappearance prompted Illinois State Police and the FBI to investigate, and they later had Savio's body exhumed, re-examined and her death reclassified as a homicide.

When her sister called the police reporting Stacy's disappearance, Peterson said that she had called him several days before and said that she left him for another man. 

Her car was found at the International Airport. 

One of the biggest aspects in the case of her disappearance was the issue of whether or not he disposed of her body in a large blue container, three of which he bought prior to when she went missing. 

Stacy Peterson's family hoped a conviction in Savio's murder could lead to charges against Drew Peterson in Stacy's disappearance.

Stacy's pastor, Neil Schori, testified she told him that her husband got up from bed and left their house in the middle of the night around the time of Savio's death.

Hollywood Exes Renewed For Second Season

VH1 has just announced the return of Hollywood Exes. The ex-wives of Prince, Will Smith, Eddie Murphy, R. Kelly, and Jose Conseco will once again collide for 12 more episodes in season two. Season one of Hollywood Exes debuted earlier this summer on VH1 and quickly became a reality hit. Although the season two cast hasn’t been confirmed, Mayte Garcia, Andrea Kelly, Nicole Murphy, Jessica Conseco, and Sheree Fletcher may all return. It’s unlikely that VH1 would want to re-work the cast after just one season — but there are rumors that Daphne Wayans, the ex-wife of Keena Ivory Wayans; Tracey Edmonds, former wife of Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds and Eddie Murphy; and rapper Sandra “Pepa” Denton, former wife of Treach; would be joining the show. 

Jennifer Williams “Distraught” Over Evelyn Lozada and Chad Johnson Drama

Despite everything that has gone down with former BFF’s Jennifer Williams and Evelyn Lozada, it’s obvious they can put their differences to the side when things get serious. Jennifer has revealed that she reached out to Evelyn after she heard the news about her domestic dispute with estranged husband, Chad Johnson.

Jennifer found herself in a few violent situations while on ‘Basketball Wives’, being on the receiving end of a few slaps and thrown drinks throughout the show but one things for sure, she says she’s against any type of violence and wouldn’t wish that type of pain on her worst enemy.

Watch Jennifer’s full reaction to Evelyn and Chad’s incident here:

I did reach out to her just because when things like that happen, you just put all the other BS to the side. I wouldn’t want to see my worst enemy go through that.  I was very distraught to hear that.  I think everyone knows I was a big advocate against violence, regardless of whether it was domestic violence or whether it was women fighting.  I don’t agree with violence. That isn’t how I was raised. I don’t think it’s right whether it’s on a TV show, or whether it’s in Starbucks or whether it’s in your home.

Clifton Powell accused of RAPED!

A Louisiana woman who accused actor Clifton Powell known as “Pinky” from Next Friday of raping her last year is now suing him in federal court.  Suing under the pseudonym Kiyante Myers, the woman says she was 24 when Powell raped her on Aug. 29, 2011, which is when she said the alleged crime occurred, but charges were never filed against the actor.

”After a brief encounter, defendant Powell asked when she would be getting off from work and if she would like to go out afterward.

“Plaintiff agreed to defendant Powell’s request and after getting off from work around midnight, plaintiff met defendant Powell outside of the casino and together went to the W Hotel Bar for drinks.

“After the drinks at The W Hotel, both plaintiff and defendant went to The International House Hotel at 221 Camp Street, where defendant Powell was a registered guest.

“After she entered his hotel room, defendant Powell asked plaintiff to take her pants off so that he could perform oral sex, which led to a consensual sexual relation.

”Later that same day, when plaintiff and defendant Powell awoke, defendant Powell wanted to engage in sexual relations again, but plaintiff declined his offer, informing him that he was too rough with her last time.

Police investigated the claims but failed to arrest Powell due to lack of evidence of a rape taking place.

Myers has now filed a lawsuit, where she is seeking damages in excess of $75,000.

Powell made news last year when he called director Spike Lee a punk and threatened to whoop his ass for his treatment of black actors.

Clifton’s rep is dismissing the validity of Kiyante’s suit, saying:

 “Mr. Powell absolutely denies these false accusations and plans on pursuing all legal remedies available to him against his accuser.”
