Ray J Wants To Call Off Divorce With Princess Love Again

by

Ray J and his estranged wife, Princess Love Norwood, are back in the news again for their seemingly turbulent marriage. The popular reality couple wed in 2016 and have since shared their relationship with the world on Love & Hip Hop. Ray J and Princess Love’s red flags were on full display throughout the series, leading to two separate divorce announcements in recent years. Both were dismissed, however they saw trouble in paradise yet again and went on to file a third time. Now, in a dizzying turn of events, Ray J is now asking to throw this case out as well.

According to legal docs obtained by TMZ, the Verzuz performer filed against the divorce in Los Angeles last Thursday (Feb. 23). The two first filed for divorce in May 2020 and again in September 2020 amidst the Covid 19 pandemic. Though they called it off again in May 2021, it was Ray J who went on to file a third time later that year. The news follows his 42nd birthday on January 17th, which he spent with Princess Love and their two children.

In a two-minute clip posted to his Instagram, Ray is seen parading around his Las Vegas suite on his special day. In the caption he reflects on his marriage, telling fans “ [I] HAD TO GET MY WIFE BACK AND START FRESH.” “I LOVE MY FAMILY!!,” he continued on. “Ill FIGHT OVER AND OVER FOR LIFE FOR MY FAMILY AND KIDS!!” Ill PUT IT ALL ON THE LINE FOR MY CHILDREN TO BE HAPPY AND SAFE AND CLOSE TO ME 24/7!!!”

While their love life appears to be bettering these days, it wasn’t too long ago Ray J’s infidelity came into question. They butted heads about it last year, in fact, during a taping for Love & Hip Hop: Miami. In the episode, which aired in August, Princess admits to dating other men in the midst of their divorce. This comes after Love says she found condoms in their home. “You tried to f**k b***hes the day we got married,” she then rattles off. “And it’s always been strippers and prostitutes.” The clip went viral, with Ray J later telling her that having sex with the aforementioned women doesn’t count.

Ne-Yo’s Baby Mama Speaks On Getting Pregnant During His Marriage

by

Ne-Yo has written some beautiful love songs throughout his career, but that doesn’t mean they’re inspired by his romantic life. Unfortunately for the R&B artist, the last year has been a tough one for his personal relationships. Last August, his wife, Crystal Renay filed for divorce from the vocalist. At the time, she claimed he welcomed a child with another woman.

Those allegations have proven to be true in recent months. While he and his ex were able to finalize their separation a few days ago, the other woman in his life is venting her frustrations about the situation on social media. In a recent upload, she reflected on the pain of finding herself pregnant with Ne-Yo’s baby while he was married to someone else.

Recently, @itsbigsade shared maternity photos on her feed, along with a lengthy message airing out her feelings. “Angel of mine,” she began. “Coming to terms with the delicate circumstances. When I felt like I just couldn’t take on another load, especially at the expense of another person’s happiness… Sometimes even my own… Wasn’t the easiest decision.”

“However, I have to choose me,” the expecting mother went on. “Therefore, I have to choose you. The JOY Braiden gives me every day strengthened me and let me know I can do this gracefully.” She adds that her intention is to go through pregnancy with “love, compassion, and penitence” for her wrongdoing.

In conclusion, Sade says she’s patiently waiting for her little one’s arrival and is ready for the journey they’ll go on together. Additionally, she acknowledged that plenty of lessons and blessings lay ahead for them both. “I can’t wait to meet you my buttercup!! xoxo MOMMY.”

At this time, it remains unclear if Ne-Yo plans to play an active role in his new child’s life. However, the expecting father has been using his new status as a single man to get up close and personal with some fans.

Vanilla Ice Says Madonna Wanted To Marry Him

Vanilla Ice says that Madonna wanted them to get married back in the 1990s. Reflecting on their relationship during an interview on the Just Jenny podcast, the rapper discussed their plans for marriage. Vanilla Ice also elaborated on what led to his and Madonna’s breakup.

“She even proposed to me. I mean things were going so crazy and fast man,” he claimed, before adding, “I was just like, ‘What? I thought the guy was supposed to do that. What do you mean? Wait a minute, this is too fast. I’m just getting started here and I’m way too young for this.’”

Later, Vanilla Ice detailed how the two met, recalling a performance of his in New York City. Madonna had been in attendance. Ice says that he spotted her during the concert “dancing her ass off” in the crowd. “I remember she came back to the dressing room and said hello to me, and she kind of gave me the sexy eyes and I was like, ‘I must be way, way mistaken on that,’” he revealed.

Afterward, Vanilla Ice explained that the release of Madonna’s iconic coffee table book, Sex, led to their break up. The controversial book features adult content including softcore pornography, simulations of sexual acts, and also sadomasochism. Isabella Rossellini, Naomi Campbell, Big Daddy Kane, as well as Vanilla Ice, and more make cameos in the book. Ice says that he didn’t consent to his inclusion in the book, which made him uncomfortable. “I was dating her during that time, so I had no idea about a sex book, I’m doing my own thing. I said, ‘How could you do that to me? And why did you do that to me?’ I could’ve sued her,” Ice further recalled. “I didn’t want to. I was like, ‘I don’t need that controversy. Let’s just let it go and you go your way, I go mine.’”

Pamela Anderson Memoir: Actress Didn’t Know Tommy Lee’s Last Name During 1995 Elopement

by

Pamela Anderson is everywhere lately. Ahead of her memoir, Love, Pamela‘s debut this week, the mother of two has been making rounds in the press. Specifically, she’s spilling tea about everything from her iconic role in pop culture to her tumultuous love life.

Previously, excerpts from the book surfaced online revealing just some of the juicy gossip to come. The Baywatch starlet claims that she was flashed by Tim Allen on the set of Home Improvement. She also says she helped a famous actor finish during a threesome at the Playboy Mansion without using anything more than her eyes. Additionally, she also has a documentary on Netflix providing some visual aid to her beautiful storytelling.

One of the most well-known romances in Anderson’s life was her whirlwind marriage to Tommy Lee. As Page Six notes, they wed in 1995 during a trip to Mexico, having only known one another for a few days. According to a recounting in her memoir, the 55-year-old didn’t even know her beau’s last name when they eloped.

“On the flight home, I asked him what our last name was, and he said, ‘Lee,’” she writes. “I said, ‘Oh, I thought it was Tommy Lee … something. Jones?’” Anderson’s next question for the musician was where he lives, to which he replied, “Malibu Road.”

Of course, their decision to wed was undeniably sudden, but the Canadian-born bombshell doesn’t regret her decision. Her mother, however, was less than pleased to have missed out on her only daughter’s big day in a white dress. “She couldn’t believe I had gotten married, cried that she had always dreamed of being at her only daughter’s wedding,” the author recalls.

Anderson admits that it was “definitely out of character” for her to run away with Lee. Still, she maintains that she was “genuinely happy” and “lost in a sea of love” with him. Their first son, Brandon, was born in 1996. His little brother, Dylan, was born in 1997.

By 1998, the famous couple went their separate ways. According to the Barb Wire lead, their marriage fell apart primarily for two reasons. Firstly, there was the sex tape that was stolen and subsequently went public non-consensually in 1995. After that came her ex’s arrest for spousal abuse, landing him in jail for six months in 1998.

“Neither of us could forgive the other, deep down. We just weren’t equipped to get through it all,” she admits. “I loved to see him with his boys, but the four of us together forever was only a dream.”

Besides her own past romantic relationships, in Love, Pamela, the blonde beauty also recalls some of her visits to the Playboy Mansion. She had a very close working relationship with the salacious magazine and appeared on the cover more times than any other model.

As a result, Anderson frequented parties alongside other A-listers. Apparently, she once saw Jack Nicholson in the midst of a threesome and happened to lock eyes with the actor. Read everything Pamela had to say about that here, and let us know if you’ll be reading her memoir or watching her documentary below.

La La Anthony Reflects On Love Life, Marrying Carmelo Anthony At A Young Age

by

Following La La Anthony’s separation from her ex-husband, Carmelo, her love life has been a hot topic in the media. The actress has a wide-spanning circle of female friends throughout Hollywood. This puts her in contact with some of the industry’s most eligible bachelors.

However, the BMF actress has maintained her single status for some time now. Much to fans’ pleasure, she often talks about her dating struggles in interviews. While on Call Her Daddy, she vented about the abundance of young men sliding into her DMs. More recently, she told TMZ that she felt as though no one wants to date her.

In that same conversation with the gossip site, Anthony made it clear that the 22-year-olds attempting to hit on her don’t have much of a chance. Still, she did quote Aaliyah, flirtatiously saying, “age ain’t nothing but a number.”

With Valentine’s Day rapidly approaching, it looks as though the mother of one may have to turn this year into a Galentine’s affair. She sat down with The Shade Room for an interview earlier this week. At the time, she candidly discussed some of her relationship regrets.

“I started off really young in my relationship. [I] maybe would have tried to [take] my time a little bit more and learn more about love and partnership and marriage,” Anthony began. “And kind of not just jump right into such a heavy, heavy relationship so quickly.”

When asked about her “type” in the same conversation, the 40-year-old shared that she’s not interested in keeping herself in a box. “I want to be open. Like I don’t want to just have a type,” she shared. “I want to be open to maybe a type that I wouldn’t think was my type or something. That’s not the norm that people would expect from me. I think when you are dating, you do have to be open. Because if you have this super checklist, right, then I don’t think you’re gonna find anybody.”

For Anthony, romantic highlights in a man are a great personality, strong communication, and honesty.

In other news, Anthony revealed in another recent interview that she once had aspirations of pursuing a rap career. They obviously never transpired, though she did reveal that her entire top five favourites list is covered by just one artist.
