Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are back on the market

According to published reports, actors Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are divorcing after 5 years of marriage.
“This is a personal and private matter for Katie and her family,” Holmes’s attorney Jonathan Wolfe told People magazine. “Katie’s primary concern remains, as it always has been, her daughter’s best interest.”
Cruise, 49, and Holmes, 33, were married in Italy in 2006 after a whirlwind (read: Dopamine-fueled) romance. It was the third marriage for Cruise.
The couple have a 6-year-old daughter, Suri Cruise. Cruise also has two grown children he adopted with ex-wife, actress Nicole Kidman.

This is why couples should wait until the dopamine highs fade before they marry. That’s the only way to tell if it’s really true love.
You should be especially cautious if the man (or woman) you are betrothed to has already been down the aisle multiple times. He or she may be a love addict.
Relationships that are described as “whirlwind” or “crazy in love” usually always fizzle out and end badly.

Adele’s broken heart from a breakup was the catalyst for her multi-platinum debut album, 21. The album sold over 22 million copies worldwide to date and continues to peak at #1 on the Billboard charts. Adele’s boyfriend, Simon Konecki, runs the water charity Drop4Drop.

Draya Michele ‘Accidentally’ Tweets DM Meant For Shaunie O’Neal’s Boyfriend

Basketball Wives executive producer Shaunoie O’Neal has managed to keep her private life off the TV screen. From her relationship with ex-husband Shaquille O’Neal to her current relationship with young model Marlon Yates. Despite her best efforts however, Marlon may have put the producer in a precarious position.
Marlon and Draya Michele were having an “interesting” conversation on Twitter via DM, which she may have unknowingly tweeted and Draya was letting Marlon know that she was “mad” about something. What is even more interesting is that Marlon has deleted the tweets which seems real suspect. Check out the conversation below:
“@MarlonYatesJr lol. No I’m chillin. Impatient if anything. Never mad.”
“@MarlonYatesJr marlon I’m confused. What am I mad about?”
Marlon responds,
“I Love My Woman…..”
Draya closed displaying her sense of humor,

MOVIE TRAILER: ‘UNCONDITIONAL’ (STARRING MICHAEL EALY)

Think Like A Man‘s Michael Ealy will be starring in a new Christian film entitled Unconditional. Based on real life events, Ealy plays “Papa Joe” Bradford, a childhood friend of a woman named Samantha (Lynn Collins), who lost her husband in a murder. As she struggles to come to terms with her husband’s death, Ealy’s character teaches her a lesson of forgiveness and more as he dedicates his life to helping and mentoring underprivileged children in his broken community.

Check out the story summary and official trailer after the jump. With Cedric Pendleton, Kwesi Boakye and Gabriella Phillips included in the cast, Unconditional hits movie theaters on September 21, 2012.
FULL SYNOPSIS:
Samantha Crawford’s life is a storybook life: she’s happily married, she lives on a ranch where she keeps her beloved horse, and the stories she’s told and illustrated since childhood have become published books. When her husband Billy is killed in a senseless act of violence, Sam loses her faith and her will to live. But a death-defying encounter with two children leads to a reunion with Joe, her oldest friend. Inspired by true events, UNCONDITIONAL stars Michael Ealy (Think Like A Man, Barbershop) and Lynn Collins (John Carter). As Sam watches her friend Joe care for and love the kids in his under-resourced neighborhood, she begins to realize that no matter life’s circumstances, the love of God is always reaching out to us.

Miami Heat are NBA CHAMPS!

It took 9 long years but LeBron James finally has his first ring!
The Miami Heat were the underdogs going into the NBA Finals series against Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder. But the Thunder didn’t have LeBron’s steely determination or his fiery will to win.

 
 The win was bittersweet for Chris Bosh who welcomed a son, Jackson, during the playoffs. Bosh kissed his baby on the court after the game.

Wade celebrated after the game with his sons who he said were his motivations for playing.
 Gabrielle Union was supportive of her man Dwyane Wade. Wade won his 2nd championship title in his 9 year NBA career.


 “Happiest day of my life,” said LeBron after the Heat defeated the Thunder 121-106 to win the NBA title Thursday night in Miami.


“It means everything,” James said after the game. LeBron hoisted the NBA trophy before accepting his Finals MVP award. “I made a difficult decision to leave Cleveland but I understood what my future was about. I knew we had a bright future… This is a dream come true for me. This is definitely when it pays off.”
After the game, an emotional LeBron embraced his fiancee Savannah Brinson and their children LeBron James Jr., 7, and Bryce Maximus James, 5.
In post game interviews LeBron said, “It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. You just put a lot of hard work into it and one day it will pay off for you. It paid off for me tonight.”

Chris Brown’s Dad Would Rather Him Not Interact With Rihanna

Chris Brown’s Dad Would Rather Him Not Interact With Rihanna

Chris Brown’s father has urged the singer to dial back his friendship with ex-girlfriend Rihanna, insisting it would be best for his career if he keeps his distance.
The former couple recently put aside their tumultuous past to work together on two new tracks, but the pair’s collaborations infuriated fans of Rihanna, who were upset by the news she had reteamed with the ex who left her black and blue after a pre-Grammy Awards fight in 2009.
Brown’s dad, Clinton Brown, has voiced his concerns about a possible reunion, revealing he has advised his son to stay away from Rihanna to prevent further problems.
He tells Star magazine, “I do not condone everything that goes on with Chris, but I love my son with all my being. I am always concerned about him. … He can make his own decisions. But, as a concerned parent, I would rather they not have any involvement.”
But Brown’s dad assures fans upset by the former couple’s ongoing relationship that there’s nothing romantic going on: “He said, ‘We are friends, and that’s the extent of it.’ But when you’re that emotionally involved with someone and have a history, it could cause problems. Sometimes you need to cut the strings and move beyond the past.”

Memphitz Calls K.Michelle Pinocchio And Says He Made Her

We thought Memphitz would be too busy enjoying his anniversary trip to Paris with his wife Toya to respond to the comments K.Michelle made on the first episode of “Love & Hip-Hop Atlanta” about losing the love of her life (him) after being signed to him, then cheated out of her recording budget and being abused.
But we kinda figured he was itchin’ to say something after posting this last night:

MUSIC VIDEO: TRISTAN WILDS – “COLD”

Kanye West And Kim Kardashian Take A Drive Through Paris In A White Lamborghini


Returning to Paris for Monday’s Watch the Throne Tour encore performance, West, 35, stepped out with Kardashian, 31, on Father’s Day. The couple, who are staying at the Four Seasons Hotel George V, enjoyed a late brunch date at chic eatery L’Avenue on Avenue Montaigne before capping off their meal on a sweet note: ice cream cones from Häagen-Dazs.
After making a pit stop at a luxury car dealership, West, sporting a black hoodie, and Kardashian, rocking a curve-hugging green dress and mid-calf boots, emerged in a new ride: a white convertible Lamborghini.
But their hot wheels didn’t get them too far. It took the couple, who started dating in April, about an hour to drive less than three miles from Place de la Madeleine to the Eiffel Tower.
“Basically, the car is like a jet airplane,” one observer tells PEOPLE, “but they didn’t plan on Paris traffic on a Sunday afternoon.”
Adds another observer: “It was actually kind of funny. I mean, how often do you see anyone behind the wheel of a Lamborghini looking kind of bored?”
But there was an upside to the traffic – at least for fellow drivers sharing the road.
“There were a lot of people sitting in cars alongside them during their drive,” an observer adds. “Every so often, they’d be in traffic and someone in a car next to them would recognize [West] and go, ‘Oh, whoa! Kanye! So Cool!’ ”
