Jesse James Nightline Interview – VIDEOS

May 26, 2010 By Cara Harrington 1 Comment

Dumb-Says-What went on Nightline to talk about his man whore ways and being super sorry for having a crotch circus going on behind Sandra Bullock’s back for over a year.

Jesse James busted out some rehab worthy tears and gave a story about his tortured childhood.

“My whole childhood I never had a chance to be a kid. I remember the clenched-teeth, strained-neck look on his face. He beat my ass pretty good a bunch of times. Football star, bike builder, Monster Garage TV star—all that stuff is a huge smokescreen so people won’t see that I’m a scared, abused kid, a 7-year-old.”

“I remember my dad laughed when I hit the ground and called me a dummy. It wasn’t getting the s–t beat out of me…It was the in-between time, the fear of that happening again. I was a terrorized kid. It’s really tough for me to think about now, because…” James trailed off, tears welling in his eyes. Sunny’s the age that I was…when my dad broke my arm.”

He had me feeling a tiny bit of pity until he tossed out excuses instead of owning up to his whoredom. Then he talked about the adoption of baby Louis and how their relationship blossomed after he came into their life. Obviously it didn’t blossom enough because he was still texting several members of his penis jockey lineup.

So to recap…Jesse is a slut because he has daddy issues.

Michael Jackson: Never Adopted His Kids, Their Real Father Revealed, Joe Jackson Snubbed

June 30, 2009 By Crista Webster 8 Comments

So much for letting Michael Jackson rest in peace. After several emails begging for the scoop, we have broken our rule and here is the dirt. (The Dame is a sucker for begging.)

Not only is there still a great deal of speculation surrounding the pop icon’s death, even more is being revealed concerning his three children: Michael Jr., Paris, and Prince.

First, it is being reported that Jackson was NOT the biological father of the two oldest children (shocker), but also that he never legally adopted the children.

Via TMZ:

“We broke the story that neither Jackson nor Debbie Rowe are the biological parents of Michael Jr. and Paris. And Michael was not the biological parent of Prince Michael II either. Now here’s the rub. We’ve learned Jackson never filed legal papers to adopt any of his children. Legal experts tell us Jackson would be presumed the father but it’s not conclusive by any means.”

To make matters worse, US Weekly is reporting that the children’s biological father is actually Jackson’s former dermtologist (and Debbie Rowe’s boss), Arnold Klein.

Via US Weekly:

“He is the dad. He and Debbie signed an agreement saying they would never reveal the truth.”

When will this insanity end? And when will someone actually realize that there are children at the heart of this matter?

Apparently, not anytime soon. As of now, Michael’s mother Catherine, has been granted temporary custody of the kids. However, I have a little itch deep inside that is telling me once she learns Michael never officially adopted the children-and therefore aren’t entitled to any of his money-they will be shipped off to Debbie Rowe who will begin her stint on the talk show circuit.

In case you were wondering about what Jackson’s will stated, so is the rest of the world, the Jackson family in particular. Well, with one little exception. It seems that Michael left his father, Joe “I am about to launch a record label” Jackson out of the will entirely.
Via E!:

“The document—which will no doubt be the centerpiece of a lengthy and ferocious legal battle in months to come—divides the superstar’s estate among his mother, his three children (Prince Michael, Paris and Prince Michael II) and at least one charity.”

Catherine and Joe sought to control Michael’s estate claiming the pop star died without a will when this one, drafted in 2002, surfaced. A lawyer for the family is denying that any will has been presented to the family.

Madonna Wins Mercys’ Adoption Appeal

June 12, 2009 By Holly Stafford 2 Comments

Watch out Angelina, looks like Madonna is catching up to you! In a desperate bid to add another baby to her collection, Madonnas adoption appeal for Mercy James has been approved. Overturning a lower court decisions, her Madgesty is now allowed to adopt a second child from Malawi.

Per People:

“I am extremely grateful for the Supreme Court’s ruling on my application to adopt Mercy James. I am ecstatic … My family and I look forward to sharing our lives with her,” Madonna said in a statement through her spokesperson Friday.

Chief Justice Lovemore Munlo ruled that her initial denial by the lower court was based on an old law. Although she hasn’t lived in the country for the required 18 months, the court said it should have taken into consideration her philanthropic efforts in the community. Madonna founded the charity “Raising Malawi” which helps to feed, educate and provide medical care for some of Malawi’s more than 1 million orphans. While preparations to bring 3 year old Mercy to America are now underway, it will take anywhere from 3-5 days to go through the necessary paperwork and to schedule the private jet with either Madonna’s lawyer or the director of her Malawi charity making sure she gets on the plane and arrives to the US okay… Wait, so let me understand this – she made such a big fuss over this adoption ordeal but now can’t find the time in her busy schedule of bumping uglies with Jesus to go and pick up the child herself?

Madonna’s lawyer said she was “ecstatic” when she heard the news that the adoption was finalized. Until she leaves, it is believed that Mercy may be moved to the Kumbali lodge where Madonna stays when she is Malawi. Mercy will join Madonnas other children children Lourdes, Rocco, and David, in New York where it is expected that she will attend nursery school with David. Madonna got her way, as she almost always does. While I find it wonderful that Mercy will now be able to have a decent life, laws are laws and she should have had to follow the requirements just like any other human being would have. I guess this goes to show that money does talk. I hope the Malawi government is proud that they basically sold a child. Am I the only one who sees the wrong in this situation?

Lindsay Lohan is Pregnant

May 11, 2009 By Cara Harrington 4 Comments

And I am a size 0 and bed Jonathan Rhys Meyers on a nightly basis while living in Disney World and taking dives in my money pit circa Scrooge McDuck. I am pretty sure no life form could survive inside the womb of Lohan. Unless it was an alien baby who lived on blow and Red Bull.

Sources are squealing to anyone who will listen that Lindsay Lohan is pregnant. They insist that Lindsay has been whoring it around for months and is 7 weeks along.

Via Showbiz Spy:

“I swear she’s carrying,” a source said. “She’s going through big emotional turmoil. She’s not sure if she’ll have it or go through with an abortion that she booked to have in the next few days.

“Saddest part is she has no idea who the father is. She must have slept with more than two dozen men in the past couple of months.”

Linds and Samantha Ronson reportedly broke up in early April. So barely a month ago she went back on the peen. That is if you believe her “I didn’t cheat because my daddy is a gross whore” mantra she was shilling on Ellen a few weeks ago. If that is true…unless there was a turkey baster and black market sperm there is no baby.

Amy Winehouse To Adopt A Child

April 21, 2009 By Crista Webster 1 Comment

Attention all St. Lucians: Hide your children! Amy Winehouse reportedly is looking into adopting a child from the Caribbean Island.

Amy spent nearly two months on holiday in St. Lucia this past winter. There, she reportedly kicked her drug habit, had at least two reported affairs, and alienated nearly every guest at the LeSport Resort with her nearly nude antics.

Via The TransWorldNews:

“Amy is seriously thinking about adopting,” says an insider. “She has always wanted to be a mother. She loves St. Lucia and would move there for good in order to adopt.”

If you live in St. Lucia, now may be time to slap that ‘For Sale’ sign in your front yard.

However, I am inclined to think a child may be good for Amy. Perhaps she could adopt an 18-year-old. That way she would always have a designated driver and someone to send out for cigs, ballet slippers, and Aqua Net.

Madonna’s Malawi Adoption Rejected

April 3, 2009 By Holly Stafford Leave a Comment

Madonna was told today that her bid to adopt 3 year old Chifundo James, translated to Mercy James, has been rejected by Malawi High Court Judge Esme Chombo. It seems residency requirement is keeping Madge from taking home Mercy. Prospective adoptive parents are required to spend 18-24 months in Malawi before being able to go forward with an adoption. Obviously, Madonna has not spent that kind of time there. A judge denied the adoption stating several reasons for the

Per BBC:

“I must decline to grant the application for the adoption of the infant. By removing the very safeguard that is supposed to protect our children, the courts by their pronouncements could actually facilitate trafficking of children by some unscrupulous individuals. It is evident that Chifundo James no longer is subject to the conditions of poverty at her place of birth.”

Following five days of hearings, Judge Chombo made her official ruling. According to a witness, the judge said during the ruling that social workers need to look for more than “someone who just flies in and out” when looking for a fitting family. Madonna was not present at the ruling but was later told by her lawyer.

The Material Girl has been in Malawi for nearly a week with her three other children awaiting word on adopting Mercy. Her Malawian lawyer, Alan Chinula, has reportedly been working for the past 18 months to skirt the 18-24 month residency requirements. Madge even threw a party before the ruling on her application was made. Her lawyer says Madonna plans to appeal the decision.

I don’t see Madge giving up so easily. She has homes in New York and London… who’s to say she won’t set up a home in Malawi until her adoption request is finally granted?

Madonna’s Adoption Plans, Mercy James Baby Photo

March 30, 2009 By Holly Stafford 1 Comment

Madonna landed in Malawi on Sunday in hopes of adopting 4 year old Mercy James, whose mother died shortly after giving birth to her. Madonna wants to give her first adopted son David a sister from the same country that he was born in. Mercy is living at the Mchinji Home of Hope, the same orphanage where David was living before being adopted. Before appearing in court for the matter, Madonna took a tour of a Malawian village, and talked of plans to build a school there. Accompanying her on this trip is Lourdes Leon, her daughter with former flame Carlos. Besides Lourdes, Madonna has a second biological child, Rocco, from her marriage to Guy Ritchie, which ended in divorce in January.

The adoption of little Mercy was halted on Monday where a judge delayed ruling on her application to adopt Mercy until Friday. Her grandmother, 61-year-old Lucy Chekechiwa, is reportedly against Madonna’s decision to adopt Mercy.

Via NY Daily:

“Why doesn’t this singer pick other children? It is stealing,” Chekechiwa told the Telegraph of London, adding that she has an agreement with the orphanage to take Mercy when she turns 6. “I want to go to court. I won’t let her go.”

Madonna was criticized by some when she started adoption proceedings for David in 2006, and the criticisms have started with this adoption, also. Children’s advocacy groups accuse her of using her wealth and influence to get around Malawian law requiring an 18- to 24-month assessment period before adoption. They are accusing her of using her status and wealth to bypass the African nation’s laws. “Save the Children UK” charity adds that her second adoption is sending the wrong message, encouraging poor parents “to abandon children in the hope that they will have a better life.” The singer’s 2008 divorce from Guy Ritchie has also upset the children’s charity, “Eye of the Child”. And human rights activists believe that Madonna’s recent split from Ritchie should disqualify her from adopting again.

Per Us Magazine:

“We should never allow our children to be placed into broken families,” Maxwell Matewere, director of children’s charity “Eye of the Child” has said.

“Save the Children” believes that many international adoptions are unnecessary and has urged Madonna to ensure all other options had been exhausted before removing a child from a foreign orphanage. Meanwhile, Madonna’s adopted son David’s biological father, Yohane Banda, reunited with his son Monday morning. Yohane said David asked him lots of questions in English and that the two were able to talk with the help of a translator.

A court-appointed overseer will assess Madonna’s eligibility as a parent, and two reports will be presented before the judge before ruling on the adoption.

So what do you think – will Madonnas adoption go off without a hitch? Maybe the judge will see how she’s too sexually open, and not allow the bed-hopping Madge to place this child within a broken home? Or will he let the adoption go through proving more so that celebrities can adopt whoever they want to and not have to follow the laws?
