The word on the street is Fantasia is living with a married man. According to ‘Star’ magazine, it’s a brother named Antwaun Cook—owns a T-Mobile store—who they say left his teacher wife and toddler sons to move into Fantasia’s million dollar crib in Piper Glen.

The medical examiner in Fulton County says A.J. Jewel was definitely killed. They’ve ruled his death a homocide. They say the fight that A.J. was in caused his sickle cell anemia to flare up and caused his death.

Some video is out now of Naughty By Nature’s Treach talking about the time he filmed Pac having sex in a hotel room. Treach, that’s sound a little ‘not so manly.’   And guess who’s son has some naked pictures floating around on the internet? LA Reid’s son Aaron apparently met some girl in Miami and a slept with her.

The word is Rihanna wasn’t as innocent in the car that night as she portrayed. It seems Ri Ri did more than make a few phone calls and throw keys—that she was actually beating Chris in the head and that’s what set him off. Either way, hitting is wrong!!
