Meet The Ohio Sextuplets And The Couple Who Loves Them!

BROWN SUGAR!

An Ohio woman has given birth to the state's second set of sextuplets, and her husband jokes he might have to work some overtime to support his new family.

Rozonno McGhee of Columbus says he's a proud and happy new dad. The 30-year-old carpet cleaning specialist and his wife Mia gave birth by cesarean section to four boys and two girls at Ohio State University Medical Center back in June.

A team of about 50 medical staff members oversaw the delivery.

The first baby weighed in at a fraction over 2 pounds and the smallest at 1 pound, 12 ounces.

Fewer than 200 deliveries of sextuplets have occurred in the United States. The McGhee children's names are Isaac, Josiah, Elijah, Rozonno, Madison and Olivia.

Young Black Couple Murdered The Night Of Their Engagement Party Live On Via Youtube

Online Video Celebrates Nia And Michael

In memory of Nia Haqq and Michael Muchioki, an emotional Youtube clip is making its way across the Internet, demonstrating the Web's unlimited ability to intersect love, loss and technology. The New Jersey couple were senselessly murdered due to a robbery and carjacking on April 4, 2010 after leaving their engagement party. Watch the touching video after the jump.

The young soulmates were upwardly mobile college graduates, with Michael, 27, being a member of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, and Nia, 25, a Dean's List student who had just nabbed her dream job as an associate producer. Both were clearly ready to take on the world.

Our condolences go out to their families and loved ones.

To deal with the devastating pain, the couple's friends created a Facebook Fan Page and the viral tribute now pulling at the heartstrings of every person who briefly journeys into what was, and what might have been, lives full of possibility.

Each moment we breath is a gift folks. Unfortunately, it sometimes takes horrific tragedies like this to remind us all that we must cherish the short time have here on earth.

Nia and Michael's funerals were held separately last week, before later being buried side by side.

May they forever rest in peace.

What's Up With Chris Brown & Rihanna Acting Like Ike & Tina Turner?

Sure J-Hud Sang Great & Now Has A Grammy And Oscar,

But These Two Are The Story

Grammy day was supposed to be about Jennifer Hudson's triumphiant return. It was. it was suppose to let the world know that Whitney Houston was back in the house. It did. It was also suppose to be a glittery affair for R&B's reigning "it" couple, Chris Brown and Rihanna. Well, two outta three ain't bad!

About the time Brown was scheduled to be singing "Forever" onstage at Los Angeles' Staples Center, he was instead detained by police, being questioned for allegedly roughing up Rihanna.

Brown, 19, turned himself in at the LAPD's Wilshire station around 6:30 p.m. and was booked on suspicion of making criminal threats, a charge that carries a maximum penalty of four years. The case will now be sent to the district attorney's office and further charges could be filed. He was released from jail after posting $50,000 bail.

"He was very professional and didn't appear to have injuries," said Sgt. Bridget Pickett, adding, "He's a good looking young man."

While Brown appeared unscathed, sources tell E! News that the alleged victim was Rihanna, 20, and that she suffered visible bruises on her face during an early morning confrontation. Both in turn balked at scheduled Grammy appearances.

A spokeswoman for Brown's label declined comment and calls to his attorney, Mark Geragos, weren't immediately returned.

Meanwhile, Rihanna's publicist, Amanda Silverman, said the "Disturbia" singer "is well. Thank you for concern and support."

Per department policy, police declined to identify the alleged victim in the incident, which occurred about 12:30 a.m. in the Hancock Park area, apparently as the two were heading home from Clive Davis' annual pre-Grammy bash, where they had been all smiles.

In a statement, police say Brown and his companion "became involved in an argument. After stopping his car, Brown and the woman got out and the argument escalated. The woman suffered visible injuries and identified Brown as her attacker."

By the time officers arrived on the scene, Brown had split.

Rihanna, whose full name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty, decided against singing a medley of "Disturbia" and "Live Your Life" at tonight's awards. Likewise, Brown scrapped his scheduled performance of "Forever."

"We're sorry she is unable to join us this evening," said the Recording Academy. A virtually identical statement was issued for Brown's absence.

Brown and Rihanna were up for dueling Pop Collaboration With Vocals awards, Brown for his duet with Jordin Sparks on "No Air," Rihanna with Maroon 5 for "If I Never See Your Face Again." Brown was also contending for Male R&B Vocal Performance for "Take You Down." Neither Brown nor Rihanna won anything.

After the ceremony, Recording Academy President Neal Portnoy told E! News that he first learned of the situation "pretty late in the afternoon," about three hours before showtime.

"Musicians are no different than anybody else. I'm not judging. I'm sorriest that they weren't there for their moments on stage," he said, adding that he's never had to deal with replacing two segments at the last minute.

"I'm hoping that [the awards are] the story and should not be eclipsed by this part of business," Portnoy said. "I think the story is...the music that went on stage."

Backstage, Anthony Hamilton, winner of the Traditional R&B Vocal Grammy with Al Green, said his pal was pressed into emergency service "about an hour and a half before the preshow."

Green crooned "Let's Stay Together" with assists from Justin Timberlake and Keith Urban.

Asked if old-pro Green really was able to take the stage on such short notice, Hamilton suggested the R&B icon was practicing last night.

Said Hamilton, "He knew something could happen."

It's Saturday Night, Let's Open a Bottle Of Wine... But How Long Will It Stay Fresh?

My man and I had a romantic night. The food was great and he spent a little extra on just the right bottle of wine.

Well, one thing led to several other things and we really didn't put a big dent in that delicious, pricey wine. Can any of this fine wine be saved for tonight's round #2?

A: Yes. Remember that the two great enemies of wine are heat and light, and that once uncorked, the wine is already doing a dance with the oxygen in the air that will ultimately lead to the grape juice's expiration.

There are a couple of rules of thumb to know and a couple of tricks for extending the lifespan of an open bottle. Recork completely. Shove that cork all the way back in, or pick up a few rubber-bottomed stoppers so no air can make its way into the open bottle of wine. There are also special stoppers available for sparkling wines that clamp on tightly to preserve the bubbles for an extra day or two.

The fridge is your friend, so use it. This goes for red wine, too, y'all. Keep all opened bottles in your fridge, and the wine's life will be extended by 2 to 3 days if you're lucky. By the way, a lot of red wines taste better with a slight chill on them anyway, and the wine will warm fast enough in a glass. Don't leave red wines on the counter!

Gadgets and Gas: There are a couple of gadgets and gas products on the market that may or may not preserve your wine a bit longer. The popular VacuVin item purports to "vacuum" the air out of your open bottle with a simple pumping motion. Frankly, I don't think this works too well, but maybe you'll have different results.

Similarly, there are gas products (usually inert noble gas like argon) that you can use to substitute for the dangerous oxygen that will turn your wine into vinegar. Again, I wouldn't really bother with this unless it's a super expensive bottle of wine that you really want to try to preserve.

Share your wine. Can't finish an open special bottle? Nothing builds neighborly love like knocking on the Jones' door and saying, "Hey, we've got this great bottle open that we can't finish - can you help us out?"

Honestly, depending on how you pour, each 750 mL bottle of wine only yields 4 to 4.5 glasses of wine, which isn't all that much. With many doctors recommending 1 to 2 glasses of daily wine for optimal health, you and your sweetie aren't doing too much damage by kicking a bottle. (Do it yourself, however, and the health benefits are replaced with all the bad side effects of drinking, so don't overdo it.)

Thanks Bonnie Graves for the advice.

Shaq & Shaunie: Divorced With Benefits???

Maybe they're just a divorced couple on good terms because of the kids and their history. Or it could be the high profile Black couple are trying to spark some buried ambers. Either way, The Sun's Shaquille O’Neal and ex wife Shaunie appeared to be ‘coupled up’ at the Muhammad Ali event this weekend in Arizona.

After the divorce back in September, rumors over Shaunie's tryst with her personal trainer and Shaq being seen with this wannabe jumpoff suggested that their marriage was OVAH! Well, it’s nice to see these two together trying to show some brotha-sistah love.

Jay Z & Beyonce Jump The Broom!

TIME FOR THE BABY WATCH???

Black Hollywood royalty Jay-Z and singer-actress Beyonce Knowles married Friday in New York, People magazine reported on its Web site, citing an unidentified friend of the couple.

The 37-year-old hip-hop mogul and the 26-year-old singer-actress have been having tongues wagging ever since there were news links indicating the couple had applied for a marriage license over the last few days in Scarsdale Village, New York.

A parade of sport utility vehicles with tinted windows was seen coming and going from the garage late in the afternoon, one of them carrying two people dressed in chef's uniforms carrying large, square, white boxes on their laps. And men dressed in tuxedos were spotted on the roof of the building, where a white tent was erected.

Bey's Baby Bump Watch Kicks Off!

Representatives for the couple were unavailable to confirm the report, which added that the ceremony was followed by a party at the rapper's TriBeCa apartment. Guests included Beyonce's mother Tina Knowles, her father and manager Mathew, her sister Solange, Destiny's Child members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, and friend Gwyneth Paltrow, it said.

The report followed widespread speculation that drew swarms of media to the street outside Jay-Z's penthouse Friday.



The matrimonial union between Joe Camel and the beauty, who have been dating since 2002,would mark one of the highest-profile celebrity unions in recent years. They have performed together several times, including music videos for two of her hit singles, "Crazy in Love" and "Deja Vu."

Beyonce rose to fame as a member of the glittery R&B act Destiny's Child but emerged as a superstar in her own right with her big-screen turn as Foxxy Cleopatra in the 2002 film comedy "Austin Powers in Goldmember." The following year Beyonce scored a hit with her debut solo album, "Dangerously in Love," collecting five Grammys along the way.

The Houston native earned a Golden Globe nomination in 2006 for her role as a Diana Ross-like character in "Dreamgirls," a big-screen adaptation of the Broadway hit musical.

Her marriage to Jay-Z comes as the hip-hop artist and record executive is in talks with concert promoter Live Nation for a deal reported to be worth about $150 million, rivaling the biggest music contracts ever.

The onetime street hustler from Brooklyn ran the landmark rap label Def Jam Records as president for several years, but stepped down from that post in December. [Washington Post]

Star Jones Tells Husband Al Reynolds I'll See You... In Divorce Court!

Is The Former "View" Talker And Legal Eagle Getting Her Married Wings Clipped?

It appears sistagirl Star Jones has decided to kick hubby Al Reynolds to the curb after less than three and a half years of holy matrimony. “She told Al at the end of January that he had 30 days to get his act together or ‘get out,’” a source told the National Enquirer.

After swapping “I dos” at a much criticized, over-the-top corporate-sponsored wedding, The Reynolds seem to yet another high profile Black celebrity couple unable to keep it together.

“They hadn’t been seeing eye to eye for months and had already spent a great deal of time apart,” a friend of the couple told the Enquirer. “Finally, Star decided it was over. She told Al at the end of January that he had 30 days to get his act together or ‘get out.’”

The pair made a public appearance at the Feb. 1 Baby Phat fashion show in New York City, but allegedly everything fell apart days later. One "source" said, “Al moved some of his things out of their Upper East Side apartment and returned to Miami, where he’d already been spending a lot of time recently.”

While there was always specualtion that Al was gay or bi, noone is saying that this is the real reason behind the split.

“I think Star felt Al had spent their marriage riding her success while she did all the heavy lifting." the source continued. "She resented it. Deep down, Star is a very old-fashioned woman who believes a man should support her emotionally, physically and financially. She now believes Al failed her.”

Getting fired from "The View", her Tru TV show canceled and now this -- humility is a bitch, right family?

Barack & Michelle Obama: That's Some Serious Black On Black Love

ENOUGH SAID!

For Michelle Obama, 44, the emphasis was on Barack Obama, 46, and his character. ``So, if you haven't heard, my husband is running for president of the United States,'' she said to a crowd of students at the University of South Carolina in Columbia on Jan. 23, an event that drew about a dozen national reporters. Throughout the day, she used ``we'' as often to refer to the audience or Americans as a whole, as she did when speaking of herself and her husband. [Forbes]

Tracey Edmonds & Eddie Murphy Kiss Off Their 2-Week Sham Marriage!

It's Ovah!!!

What kind of stank mess are they pulling on us? Two weeks after Eddie Murphy exchanged vows with Tracey Edmonds and spent crazy paper on that rock in a private—and, as it happens, not legally binding— lavish ceremony in Bora Bora, the couple has separated with no plans for reconciliation. I ain't sayin she a Golddigga, but she ain't...

Per People magazine, the duo called off their union just 14 days after their seaside Jan. 1 nuptials. The breakup followed a less than fairy-tale start, with the first days of the newlyweds' honeymoon marred by screaming matches and arguments that lasted the entire week.

Murphy and Edmonds said their "I do's" on the French Polynesian island in front of 25 friends and family members. The 46-year-old actor and 40-year-old producer had been dating since fall 2007 (following the demise of Murphy's separation from the then pregnant Melanie "Scary Spice" Brown) and became engaged last July.

Shortly after the New Year's ceremony, reps for the couple acknowledged that the wedding, having taken place outside the country, was not legally binding, but that the couple would be making it official upon their return to the States. SO MUCH FOR THAT!

While the lack of a legally recognized union spares them the further embarrasment of a lengthy divorce or annulment, speculation about Eddie's sexuality and Tracey's "Trophy Wife Gone Wild" calculations will now be really on and poppin'.

Edmonds, whose movie-producing credits include Who's Your Caddy? and Good Luck Chuck, was previously married to music mogul Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds. The couple, whose divorce was finalized last June, was together for 13 years and has two children together. Murphy's first marriage, to Nicole Mitchell, ended in April 2006 after 13 years and five children.

It's A Boy For Usher & Tameka!

Thanks for the cigar Usher! So clearly congrats are in order now that New York’s Power 105.1 has confirmed that Tameka Foster gave birth last night. Seems like all the online naysayers have been quieted down since Tameka and Usher jumped the broom back in August. The most important thing to us isn't whether or not lady T is Raymond's beard. It's all about the brother showing his woman respect by actually, dare I say it... marrying her.

And that it's a sister is just icing on the cake! Right Black man?

Steve Harvey's "Packaged, Do-Good, Likeable, Christian-Type Image" Is About To Get Tested As Ex Mary Goes For The Jugular

Steve Harvey's Former Wife Claims She Was Bamboozled By Comedian and His Lawyer

Things are about to publicly get real ugly for Black entertainer Steve Harvey. Mary Harvey, ex-wife of the comedian and everybody's favorite morning radio personality is taking no prisoners, claiming she was conned into a quickie divorce. Unfortunately, it looks like attempts to keep private details about the star's adultery, poor and neglectful parenting, and "physical and mental abuse" are now officially out there for the world to see.

In a lawsuit filed Monday in Texas against her ex-lawyer, Mary Harvey claims that she was defrauded by the comedian (pictured above right with current wife Majorie) and the couple's longtime attorney, who represented them both in their November 2005 divorce. Harvey alleges that she was unaware of her right to independent counsel and, as a result, was severely shortchanged when it came to alimony, division of community property, and child support. Anderson and the 50-year-old comedian sought to "quickly and quietly dispose of the divorce" because there were "many things that Steve Harvey... did during the Harveys' marriage that he did not want the public to know about. I must say, it did seem rather sudden when Harvey remarried. Before his show went national and he was in Los Angeles, he would go on and on about his wife and how a man should treat a woman. In fact, does anyone remember when he and Mary had their foundation that was instrumental in getting more books into LA classrooms. Oh well, so much for nostalgia.

Check out the court complaint Mary filed. Black love turned ugly people. Not cool!
