4-1-1 ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE WEEK OF NOVEMBER 29TH, 2010

I’m tweeting now! You can follow me on Twitter @mspattyjackson. You can also check me out on Facebook.



Let’s talk about Eddie Murphy’s ladies. First up, ex-wife Nicole: did she blow through her $15 million fortune? It appears so! Nicole has put her Los Angeles mansion up for sale and she is selling her brand new Ferraris. Nicole also owes the I.R.S. millions. Apparently living large with private jets and traveling around the world has caught up to her. Nicole has five children by Eddie Murphy, and she is currently engaged to Michael Strahan. He is a FOX sports analyst who used to play with the New York Giants. Nicole’s relationship with Strahan may be in trouble. Two years ago, Strahan put a tracking device in her car and found out she was cheating on him. He didn’t leave her….. because she had money. Strahan was left in financial ruins after his costly divorce. Now that Nicole is having money problems, will Strahan hang in there with her? Her money was very appealing.



Next up is Murphy lady number two. Is Mel B cheating on her husband? The former Spice Girl and Eddie Murphy’s latest babymomma says pictures of her with another man in compromising positions don’t tell the whole story, and she is not cheating on her husband. Mel B says the man in question is an old friend, and they were having a business meeting (he had his hands on her butt…hmmmmmm). If Mel was cheating, her husband would not leave her. She gets over $52,000 a month in child support. Her hubby Stephen Belafonte is loving that money because it’s very appealing.



Kelly Rowland is in trouble with the I.R.S. The former Destiny’s Child star owes the I.R.S. over $10,000.



Mrs. Wesley Snipes wants justice for her man. Snipes who was convicted of tax evasion is expected to surrender to authorities and start a three-year prison sentence. Nikki Snipes say her husband is not a tax-evading criminal, but an honorable man and an artist who simply needs a good accountant. She says her WARRIOR husband is standing strong, and she is speaking out for the sake of their five children and her husband’s integrity and dignity.



Katherine Jackson is shaking up her household. In a huge move, the Jackson’s Encino family home is being renovated. The renovations are expected to take a few months. In the meantime, family members who lived at the compound have moved out. When renovations are completed, some family members will not be invited back, including Alejandra Jackson. Alejandra is known for having two children by Randy Jackson then turning around and having two kids by Jermaine Jackson. Her children were bullying Michael’s kids, and all hell broke loose at the home. Katherine asked Alejandra to leave. Katherine knew this living arrangement would not last because she has to keep Michael’s kids safe. Alejandra has been leeching off of Katherine for years, and she has been refusing to leave. Alejandra wants mom Katherine to support her forever, but now things are changing. Alejandra will not be allowed back in the Jackson compound with her kids.



I hear Singer Will Downing may be retiring from touring. Over the past few years he has battled a muscular disorder called polymyositis. It appears his health issues have resurfaced.



Erykah Badu says she is not pregnant. Badu is denying reports that she is pregnant with baby number four. Badu is currently seeing a Dallas police officer, and she says she would like to have another son. Badu has been criticized in the past for her array of babydaddys who are Jay Electronica, Rapper/Producer The D.O.C. and Andre 3000 from Outkast.



Did Basketball Star Allen Iverson blow through his $200 million fortune? Iverson was once the darling of the NBA, but now he is playing ball in Turkey and is selling stuff on E-Bay.
