Atlanta Man Found Guilty On Five Counts Of Homicide In Jet Skiing Death Of Usher’s Stepson Kile Glover
Jeffrey Hubbard Found Guilty In Death Of Usher’s Stepson Kile Glover
Via TMZ reports:
The verdict is in on the man accused of killing Usher’s 11-year old stepson, Kile — GUILTY.
TMZ broke the story … Jeffrey Hubbard was arrested last March for running over the boy with a jet ski on a Georgia lake in 2012.
As we reported … Kile Glover — the son of Usher’s ex-wife Tameka — suffered severe brain injuries when Hubbard’s jet ski collided with Kile … who was on an inner tube that was being towed behind another boat. Kile was vacationing with his father, Ryan Glover, at the time of the accident.
In all, Hubbard was convicted on five counts, including homicide by vessel, reckless operation and unlawful operation of a personal watercraft.
We are just happy that justice was found in Kile’s death and his family can finally find some closure in this tragic event. Do you think the man who hit Kile’s inner tube should have been charged for his death?

Bogus Bolitics: Babbling Bigot Ted Nugent Calls President Obama “A Subhuman Mongrel And A Chicago Gangster”
Ted Nugent Calls President Obama A Subhuman Mongrel
Ted Nugent is back on best boneheaded bullisht and per the usual, he’s coming straight for President Obama’s neck with his latest string of ridiculous comments.
via Washington Times
Rocker-turned-Second Amendment activist Ted Nugent, who’s just taken to the campaign trail for Texas governor hopeful Greg Abbott, has already irked Democrats with his recent slamming of President Obama as a “subhuman mongrel.”
Mr. Nugent called Mr. Obama the term during an interview last month with Guns.com.
His full statement: “I have obviously failed to galvanize and prod, if not shame enough Americans to be ever vigilant not to let a Chicago communist-raised, communist-educated, communist-nurtured subhuman mongrel like the ACORN community organizer gangster Barack Hussein Obama to weasel his way into the top office of authority in the United States of America,” CNN reported.
The statements hit the media especially hard this week because Mr. Nugent was just heading out on the campaign trail with the Texas Republican, Mr. Abbott, who’s hoping to win the GOP stamp of approval for gubernatorial nominee.
Democrats point to Mr. Nugent as outlandish, while Mr. Abbott’s main competitor — Democrat governor hopeful Wendy Davis — has called his decision to allow the rocker to campaign for him “repulsive,” CNN reported.
Just when we thought this guy couldn’t possibly get any more annoying….SMH.

BOSSIP Exclusive: Towanda Braxton Clears The Air About Beef With Tamar And Rumored Relationship With Kordell Stewart!
Towanda set the record straight, once and for all.
This season of “Braxton Family Values” has been markedly different for Towanda Braxton, who came across fairly level headed and generous on the show, even while wrestling with marital issues and the sibling rivalry that the Braxton ladies are known for. But this time around she’s shown a different side, even drawing some criticism recently after she responded to Twitter ribbing from Tamar fans by pointing out her brother-in-law Vince’s rumored financial problems. She’s also been under the microscope for keeping company with Kordell Stewart, whose acrimonious divorce from “Real Housewives of Atlanta’s” Porsha Williams has made him a tabloid regular. With the finale of “Braxton Family Values” airing Thursday, Towanda sat down exclusively with BOSSIP to set the record straight.
BOSSIP: With the third season ending tonight, would you say the show brought you closer or caused more problems?
Towanda Braxton: It allowed us not to sweep things under the rug anymore. It allowed us to look at the real situations and actually deal with them. Quite often in families, not just African-American families either, we tend to sweep things under the rug like “We’ll deal with it later.” But not now. Now we have to deal with them.
How are things with you and Tamar now?
We’re good. I absolutely love my sister even though there are moments of us not getting along. I think everyone has a season of not getting along, and it just so happened this was our season. Last year it was her and Traci.
It’s always Tamar and someone right?
All of our lives it’s been that way. Tamar and Trina, Tamar and Towanda, Tamar and Toni, Tamar and Traci, Tamar and Mikey so… That just comes with the territory about being the baby.
This thing that happened on Twitter, why did you respond after Tamar’s fan called you jealous of her?
I’m so glad you asked. I take a lot. I have tough skin and usually I laugh things off. I just have to admit that a lot of the Tamartians, most of them are extremely disrespectful and I didn’t care that they were attacking me, I didn’t care that they were attacking Andre, what I cared about was when they started attacking my kids. They said ‘I wish Towanda’s kids got raped and run over by a bus.’ See people didn’t see that stuff. They just saw what I wrote. So after that I have to say that was 100% out of character for Towanda to respond, but I wasn’t thinking about what was right and what was wrong at that moment I was just reacting and responding.
Was this even the fan that you responded to that made the comments about your kids?
I don’t even know. I was just reacting. As a parent you don’t even care, you go in defense mode, and that’s where I went.
Where were you when it came on?
Hawaii, and the show was on, so we were Tweeting. We’re very involved.
Tamar was quick to defend you — she was like no shade on my sisters that’s for us, like…
Stay out of it. I didn’t see it. After that I was in Twitter jail. Jail Jail. My publicist called me like get off Twitter, you’re done. Toni was like, “Umba! That’s not you, get off.”
But Tamar didn’t say anything?
She was pissed! Rightfully so. We always have have a sister thread in our messages so we got on that and I was in trouble because it was totally out of character for me, until I explained, “Hey these children are attacking your niece and your nephew.” Then they understood. Like ‘Okay, we get it. We wouldn’t have done it that way but we get it.’
Do you know what the financial situation is now for Vince?
I don’t know if he’s taken care of it or not.
Being that you had seen it on the web, you said check the web.
Thank you so much for saying that because a lot of people are like ‘Towanda, you just blasted the family business!’ I didn’t tell family business. That was already on the web. This was public knowledge before I said anything ladies and gentlemen. I didn’t divulge any secrets of the Braxton family. I don’t do that. It’s just like with the Traci situation, I didn’t say ‘Hey y’all this what’s going on, Traci told me blah blah blah.’ I don’t do that. Allegedly Traci’s husband had a kid out of wedlock — it was on the web, it wasn’t anything I found out from her.
We love the family dynamic, but it seems like Tamar doesn’t take kindly to teasing from you guys.
Tamar is rotten! Love Tamar, but she’s rotten. We created that. We allowed her to say whatever she wanted to say and do whatever she wanted to do that now that we’re trying to create boundaries, she’s like, ‘No, why you trying to do that now that we’re grown?’ Usual family rivalry type situations. It eats away at me when she says, cuz she’s the baby, “My family don’t support me.” I’m like don’t say your family doesn’t support you, say your family doesn’t support you the way you would like them to, because when you found out you might not be able to have a kid I volunteered to carry your baby for you. When Vincent was in the hospital and we didn’t know what was going to happen with him I went up to NY and I was like your personal assistant. I wasn’t trying to be nobody personal assistant at that time but because Tamar needed me at that moment I was there. I mean Etc. Etc. Etc.
Hit the flip for the scoop on what’s going on with Towanda’s personal life, her relationship with Kordell Stewart and her new business ventures.

Congratulations: Christina Aguilera Is Toting A Gut Full Of Her Film Producer Hubby
Big news for the newly-engaged couple!
Christina Aguilera Expecting Her Second Child
Christina has a new fiancee and a second baby on the way. This is starting off to be a good year for her.
According to US Weekly:
Another Fighter is on the way! Almost one week after Christina Aguilera announced her Valentine’s Day engagement to boyfriend Matt Rutler on Twitter, a source has exclusively confirmed to Us Weekly that the Grammy winner is pregnant with her second child.
Aguilera, 33, welcomed son Max with now-ex-husband Jordan Bratman in January 2008, and has enjoyed watching her now-6-year-old grow. The “Beautiful” singer took season 4 off from The Voice to spend more time with her family and to focus on her music career. She’s also taking off season 6 of the show, when Shakira will fill the pop diva’s red chair.
The newly-engaged couple and expectant parents have been together for almost three years. They met on the set of Aguilera’s 2010 film Burlesque.
The seasoned vocalist was previously married to Jordan Bratman from November 2005 to October 2010, and he shares custody of Max.
Congratz again.

Ain’t Isht Daddies: Stevie J Served A Subpoena To Appear In Family Court For Over $1 Million In Unpaid Child Support!

Stevie J Served Subpoena To Appear In Family Court For $1 Million In Unpaid Child Support
Via RadarOnline
Love & Hip Hop star Stevie J was served with a subpoena on Feb. 13 to appear in a New York family court for unpaid child support to the mother of his two children, Carol Bennett, and RadarOnline.com has all the exclusive court documents and details.
According to the paperwork, Stevie — real name Steven Jordan — must appear in court on Feb. 25 because he has “failed to obey the support order dated January 10, 2012.”
“This subpoena requires Steve J’s appearance or an arrest warrant can be issued by the State of New York,” Bennett’s rep, Sibrena Stowe de Fernandez, told Radar.
“This is not a joke!”
Stevie, 42, must provide the court with proof of his income and assets and show any paycheck stubs and income tax returns.
“You may be required to furnish past and present income tax returns; employment statements; proof of health insurance available; pay stubs; corporate, business or partnership books and records; corporate and business tax returns; and receipts for expenses or such other measures of verification as the Court determines appropriate,” the docket states.
Stevie celebrated the grand opening of a new joint venture bar in Atlanta called Sleazy & Zino Bistro & Bar on Feb. 5, which is coincidentally where he was served with the subpoena.
As Radar exclusively reported last year, Stevie owes a staggering $1.28 million in child support and over the course of 14 years, has only paid Bennett $132,220.30.
Hope he’s saving those LHHATL checks…

Flag On The Play: Former Cowboys Baller Asks, “If Michael Sam Pats Someone On The Butt, How Is That To Be Received?
Is this question fair, or foul? Since Michael Sam announced his sexual preference to the public people have been supportive for the most part… But with the NFL draft approaching, ish is starting to get REAL.
Missouri defensive end and draft prospect Michael Sam has received plenty of support around the NFL after coming out, but on Thursday, one former player raised a question that will make your head shake.
Former Cowboys defensive end Greg Ellis told ESPN Radio in Dallas that he’s worried about what will happen if Sam pats somebody on the butt.
“If he pats somebody on the butt – I hope ESPN don’t get mad and never have me back – but if he pats somebody on the butt, how is that to be received?” Ellis asked. “If he said, ‘Come on baby’? I called guys baby all the time on the football field, but when you have taken a stand and went and go public and say that, ‘I am gay,’ how is that going to be received? I’ve seen guys, I had guys on the Dallas Cowboys football team-I won’t mention names-who did not want you to pat them on their butt. So God forbid if you pat one of those guys on the butt it’s going to be a major problem.”
Does he have a point or is he just being a hater?

Bird Beef: Marlo Hampton Denies NeNe Leakes’ Claims She Is An Opportunist
NeNe might want to apologize before Marlo goes upside her head
Marlo Hampton Denies NeNe’s Claims She Is An Opportunist
Looks like these two won’t be satisfied until they push each other’s wigs back.
According to Rolling Out:
Marlo Hampton and NeNe Leakes just can’t seem to stop talking about each other. Hampton is now dishing on her ex-friend via a blog post.
As previously reported, both ladies feuded on Twitter over next Sunday’s episode that will show them arguing at a local event. Leakes threatened legal action against Hampton who apparently almost came to blows with the star.
Furthermore, NeNe recently penned a BravoTV blog and accused her former bridesmaid of being an opportunist who befriended her nemesis Kenya Moore for camera time.
“Did you see the opportunist that keeps coming around? wrote Leakes. “Did you see my friend just sit there and indirectly support this B.S.? I have worked with a lot of women over the years and the one thing that it has taught me is that life is like an elevator — on your way up, you have to let people off!” she added.
Hampton clearly caught wind of NeNe’s words and issued a response via her MusingsFromTheBoudoir blog.
“Let me start by saying that while Kenya and I are not best friends (we only met recently). I refuse to let others determine whether or not I should befriend her,” wrote Hampton. She has done nothing but support me and whenever we’re together we always have a grand ole time. I don’t need to sit in judgment of her.”
“I’ve been called an opportunist, often! But honestly, who among us does not take advantage of opportunities that improve the quality of our lives and allow us to realize our dreams?” she added.
Do you think NeNe could take Marlo in a fight?
