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