Who knew there was even an issue to begin with? Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry apparently have custody issues that are requiring court action to sort out.
Aubry filed papers in court on December 30, requesting that the court formally recognize that he is in fact the father of 2 1/2 year old daughter Nahla that he shares with Halle.
He just wants joint physical and legal custody, which is obviously not asking for too much. I am curious though if this is just a legal technicality that he wanted covered. Or did something go down between these two that spurred the legal action?
Well there’s a shocking confession for you. Piers Morgan interviewed Oprah on his new CNN show Monday night and wow. We got a lot more from her than we ever expected.
We are so used to watching Oprah get others to open up, but now, it was her turn.
Oprah said that after so many years of sexual abuse, that began when she was only 9, she began “running the streets” and landed herself in a detention home. Her mom got sick of the drama and sent her to live with her father in Nashville when she was 14 and secretly pregnant.
“My father … said to me as I’m standing in the kitchen listening to him, ‘These are the rules of the house, you’re going to obey the rules, you have a 10 o’clock curfew, and I would rather see a daughter of mine floating down the Cumberland River … than to bring shame on this family and the indecency of an illegitimate child,’” she remembered. “I know that I’m pregnant, so I’m thinking I’m just going to have to kill myself. I did stupid things like drinking detergent and that crazy stuff that you do when you are trying to get attention when you are really just trying to cry for help. I don’t even know what I thought the plan was going to be. That’s why I relate so much to young girls in that situation. There isn’t the great stigma [today] that it was when I was in school. When I was 14 [and] you are having a baby out of wedlock, your life is over.”
When her ankles bean to swell from the pregnancy, they took her to the hospital where she confessed she was pregnant. That strain put her into labor and the baby died.
Oprah admits that she was relieved when the baby died.
“It was my second chance. I went back to school and nobody knew because had anybody known at that time, I wouldn’t have been able to be head of the student council. I wouldn’t have been able to be speaking champion in forensics. I wouldn’t have been able to be Miss fire prevention. I wouldn’t have been chosen as one of the two teenagers in the state of Tennessee to go to the White House conference on youth. None of those things would have happened. The entire trajectory of my life would have been different.”
I am honestly a bit on the speechless side right now. That is a very heavy story and I need to digest it. Feel free to share your thoughts below.
This is disturbing on so many levels where to begin? First of all let me just say what happens between two consenting adults, regardless of how kinky or ‘out there’ it is, is between the two of them, I truly don’t care. But that doesn’t mean I won’t make fun of it.
And while a grown man in diapers and a bonnet does nothing to get my juices flowing (shocking, I know) the fact they are doing their scenes in Octomom’s house, in her kid’s playhouse is what grosses me the f*ck out.
Okay actually it’s a man in diapers and a bonnet that grosses me the f*ck out, but it’s very disturbing to see this grown ass man on all fours in her kids’ playhouse or on the kids’ rocking horse. Quick, grab the Lysol wipes.
And stay tuned because TMZ is putting together a video. Happy Hump Day.
Betty White appeared on the David Letterman show where she was promoting Hot In Cleveland. The icon turned 89 on Tuesday and when David asked her what she liked to do in her spare time she said play with animals and vodka.
Out came the vodka and the two of them shared a drink. Kind of. You’ve got to watch. It’s a great clip.
Robert Pattinson graced the Golden Globes on Sunday and spoke with MTV about his sex scenes with Kristen Stewart for Twilight: Breaking Dawn and how they compared to his sex scenes with Uma Thurman in Bel Ami.
Ricky Gervais‘ hosting gig on the 2011 Golden Globe Awards has caused a lot of controversy saying he went over the line, etc. I LURRRRVVVVE Ricky Gervais. This man is delicious. Sure the Scientology homosexual joke was shocking but I’m pretty sure that’s his job, right? It’s not like he said anyone’s name (THAT’S crossing the line by ‘outing’ someone).
I’ve seen a lot of comedians on the Comedy Channel and they are way worse than Ricky. My only issue with the Golden Globes is there wasn’t enough of Ricky. And despite rumours he was not yanked midway through the show.
What is the best revenge? Rock some gold lamé boxer shorts (courtesy of Ellen DeGeneres) on a balcony top with a gorgeous view. I’ve pictured me and Ricky like this many times. Oh, and address all the crap that’s being said about him:
All the same conspiracy theories as last year too… “So and so was offended”… “hasn’t been invited back yet”… exactly the same as last time. “Paul McCartney was furious”… no he wasn’t. And nor was Tim Allen and Tom Hanks. I was drinking with them after.
Why do people have to embellish? They’re allowed to say they hated it. They’re allowed to say they didn’t find it funny, that it was tasteless, over the top, or whatever. But why do they speculate and make stuff up?
