IS MORGAN FREEMAN DATING STEP-GRANDDAUGHTER?!: National Enquirer says revelation is part of wife's divorce documents.

 

Morgan Freeman       *Under the all-caps heading "World Exclusive Bombshell," the National Enquirer is reporting that Morgan Freeman, 72, has had an affair for the past 10 years with his own 27-year-old step-granddaughter.      

       The tabloid quotes an unnamed "source" who says their relationship began when she was a teen and not only contributed to his split from Myrna, his wife of 25 years, but also led to his breakup with his longtime mistress, former schoolteacher Mary Joyce Hays.       

       The woman in question, E'Dena Hines, is the granddaughter of Morgan's first wife, Jeanette Adair Bradshaw, and was raised by Morgan and Myrna "since she was a little girl," said the unnamed source, described by the Enquirer as a "close family insider."       

       "Myrna said E'dena told her that when she was a teenager, she and Morgan went to dinner at a friend's house one evening. Both had been drinking, and when they returned home, Morgan attempted to have sex with her. They stopped just short of having intercourse, said the source.      

       "E'Dena explained to Myrna that she stopped Morgan from going any further."

 

       Myrna confronted Morgan, and he agreed to leave E'Dena alone - but unbeknownst to Myrna, the relationship continued for years, said the source.

      E'Dena has also been Morgan's escort to several public events, including last summer's premiere of the Batman film, "The Dark Knight."       

       "Nobody thought anything of it, because she would be introduced as his 'granddaughter,'" The family insider said. "It's not technically incest, because they are not related by blood...[but] Morgan is trying desperately to keep his divorce out of open court so all the shameful facts won't become public."      

     

BLACK WOMEN LOOKING FOR THEIR 'BARACK': President's name suddenly takes on whole new meaning in the dating world.

 

Barack Obama       *Megan K. Scott of the Associated Press wrote an article this week about the president's name becoming a new buzz word in the dating scene when it comes to a woman's ideal man.

 

       She writes:

 

       Monica Weeks has met many men, but at age 51 she says she still hasn't found her "Barack.

 

       Among Weeks and her friends, U.S. President Barack Obama's name has become shorthand for a black man with integrity, character and spirituality, one who loves and values his wife and makes his family a priority - in other words, the kind of man that many black women had despaired of finding.

 

       Weeks said probably every single woman she knows is looking for her "Barack."

 

       "He absolutely makes me think it's attainable," said Weeks, a divorced mom in Somerset, N.J. "For women who are older and seeking a man, I think we can look at him and say, 'All is not lost."'

 

       The story is the same elsewhere among black women, who say the new code word for Prince Charming has become so commonplace that they have been asked "Have you found your Barack?" or told others "I'm looking for my Barack."

 

       Obama's sex appeal hasn't hurt - what other president would get high marks in a swimsuit competition? But he has touched a nerve among black women in particular, who consider him an IBM (Ideal Black Man) - educated, eloquent, tall, attractive, family oriented, ambitious and down to earth.

 

       For years, single black women have been commiserating about the perceived shortage of eligible black men. It's laughed about in movies ("Waiting to Exhale") and backed up with statistics: The May unemployment rate for black men was 16.8 per cent for those ages 20 and older, compared to a national rate of 9.8 per cent for all adult men. Black women outnumber black men almost 2-to-1 on college campuses. Most black babies are born to unwed mothers.

 

       "There are a large number of African-American women who have largely given up on finding a mate," said Sheri Parks, associate professor of American studies at the University of Maryland. "Their men are not there."

TYRA'S STALKER SENTENCED TO PROBATION: Brady Green also temporarily barred from contacting her and must take an anti-stalking class.

 

Tyra Banks       *The Georgia man charged with stalking talk show host Tyra Banks was sentenced on Thursday to one year of probation, and must not contact the former supermodel for two years, reports the New York Daily News.

 

       Brady Green, 39, was also ordered by the Manhattan Criminal Court judge to complete an anti-stalking course.

 

       Sporting a shiny brown suit to the courthouse, Green declined to speak to the press after the sentencing. His lawyer also refused to address the media. Banks was not present in court.

 

       Green developed what prosecutors called an "unhealthy obsession" with Banks while watching the show in his hometown of Dublin, Ga. In March 2008, Green showed up at the Chelsea studios of "The Tyra Banks Show" just hours after making a cross-country bus trip.

 

       He told staffers he was a friend of the host even though he had been placed on the program's "do not admit" list after sending Banks roses and repeatedly calling her assistants.

 

       Banks testified against him in April, saying she was "terrified." Her staffers had to barricade themselves in her dressing room when Green tried to slip past security.

 

       "I fear the safety of my staffers. I fear the safety of my family," the beauty testified.

 

       Green said during the trial he only wanted to score tickets for the show.

 

 

      

MAN SUES OVER KFC'S FREE CHICKEN FIASCO: Los Angeles man believes Oprah-plugged giveaway was a scam.

 

       *KFC's foiled free chicken giveaway is still leaving a bad taste with a Los Angeles man who believes the whole Oprah Winfrey-assisted promotion was a sham and the fast food chain never intended to give away its new grilled chicken.

 

       James Asanuma filed the suit Wednesday in L.A. County Superior Court. It notes that KFC promised everyone "2 pieces of grilled chicken, two individual sides and a biscuit" -- but claimed its Oprah push was so huge that they couldn't meet the demand.      

       And because KFC couldn't follow through on their promise, they decided to give vouchers for free food in the future.      

       Asanuma's suit calls this "bait and switch" and claims it caused customers to incur "travel costs, paper and printing costs, postage, the money they spent on other food items at KFC on visits when they had intended to redeem the coupon ... and the loss of the value of the promised meal." 

   

  

NEW BOOK FROM 'AUNT VIV' SET TO ROCK WILL SMITH'S WORLD: Our exclusive interview with Janet Hubert set for Monday, but here's a preview.

 

Janet Hubert “There’s a machine and it was designed to make him a superstar. And that machine was designed to steamroll over anybody who got in the way. I was simply a body…” -- Janet Hubert

 

  Yep, that's how Janet Hubert, the first Aunt Viv from the iconic hit show "The Fresh Price of Bel Air," bluntly put it in an exclusive interview with EUR set to be published this Monday, June 22. She spoke with us to spread the word about her new book titled ‘PERFECTION IS NOT A SITCOM MOM.’

 

  But trust us, she has a LOT more to say that's even more powerful than that. And if you can't wait, we've got a sneak peek for you below. Read on.

----------

 

 

     *WARNING: It is going to be hard, even painful, for many people to fathom that Will Smith - an actor who has achieved the greatest level of fame, admiration, and success imaginable - may have at one time in his evolution, been a complete a-hole.

 

     Now, nearly two decades since NBC’s ‘Fresh Prince of Bel Air’ took the 22-year-old rapper from his radio-friendly songs long enough to start his walk on the road to stardom, former “Fresh Prince of Bel Air” cast member, Janet Hubert-Whitten, aka ‘Vivian Banks’ aka “The first Aunt Viv’” has broken her silence and authored the book, ‘PERFECTION IS NOT A SITCOM MOM.’

 

     In an emotional telephone interview with EUR’s Lee Bailey, Hubert (no longer Whitten) sounds more hurt than bitter as she paints a disturbing and unrecognizable picture of the superstar, and although she admits she doesn’t know him now, she speaks candidly about the man she knew then.

 

     Without so much as a stutter, Hubert, who at times seems to be near tears, uses the one-hour, eight minutes and fifteen seconds telephone interview to reveal vivid details of her claims against Smith; which include verbal and mental abuse on the set, hypocrisy, excessive egoism, blatant resentment, the insensitive spewing of ‘your mama’s so black’ jokes, and ultimately, public slander – which Hubert says kept her from getting projects green-lighted and has banned her from work in the field she used to love.

 

     “He had a lot of power. He had full power on that set! Maybe not the first season, but by the second, third season he was basically running it,” she states. The words escaping her mouth so fast—with no second-guessing herself--it’s as if she is in a time warp. “He knew what everybody was making because even on that V103 interview he said (mimics Smith by using gangsta voice) ‘She made two hundred fifty thousand – a quarter million dollars a year. Now she ain’t makin’ nothin’!’”

 

     The interview Hubert refers to was one of the first, she claims, Smith gave following her removal from the show.

 

     "I dug out the old tape. I call it ... ‘Vicious V103’ in Atlanta. When it all went down he was in Atlanta, and he was with the DJs at V103 and he referred to me as a ‘Drive-by.’  When he had finished his session of lies and slander (gangsta voice) he said, 'Well you know, I feel like this is like comic timing you know what I’m sayin’? It’s kind of like a drive-by; we should move on, you know what I’m sayin?'"

RIHANNA TESTIMONY WILL NOT BE TELEVISED: Singer due in court Monday for Chris Brown's assault case.

 

Rihanna       *A court spokesman announced Thursday that Rihanna's testimony at Chris Brown's preliminary hearing on assault charges scheduled for Monday will not be televised.

 

       Prosecutors are expected to call Rihanna, 22, as a witness Monday afternoon as they make their case that Brown beat her, said Los Angeles Superior Court spokesman Alan Parachini.

 

       Los Angeles Criminal Court Judge Patricia Schnegg decided against allowing cameras into the courtroom during Rihanna's testimony, Parachini said Thursday.

 

       Brown, 20, faces two felony counts of assault and making criminal threats stemming from the early morning incident on a Hollywood street in February. If he reaches a plea agreement, Monday's hearing would be unnecessary. His lawyer, Mark Geragos, previously indicated he hoped to resolve the case without public testimony.

 

       Rihanna -- whose full name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty -- cleared her schedule so she could be in court if prosecutors call her as a witness, her lawyer, Donald Etra, said last month.
