On The Next Episode Of Love & Hip Hop
In the next episode of VH1′s reality TV series ‘Love & Hip Hop’ Jim Jones’ rides home with a new car and fiancée, Chrissy Lampkin, 40, goes off on him for purchasing a new ride when she’s still waiting on him to give her a ring.
“There’s a foreign car in my driveway! What is it doing here?,” Chrissy snaps at him.
Chrissy kill Jim’s new car buzz as soon as he rolls into the driveway, telling him “I don’t want to see this car. I want it out of my driveway.” When he offers to park it around the corner she tells him “And that’s where I’ll have your mail sent.”
According to our source, this scene is just the tip of the iceberg — this episode is quite possibly the most explosive one yet, trust us when we say that you’re not going to be able to tear yourself away from the screen on Monday. Tune in at 8 p.m. ET/PT to see what we mean.
Crazed Brooklyn Man Burned Woman Alive Over Money
The man suspected of burning a Brooklyn woman alive in an elevator said he committed the heinous attack because the woman owed him $2,000.
Jerome Isaac, 47, of 315 Lincoln Place in Brooklyn turned himself into police Saturday night. He was reeking of gasoline and made statements implicating himself in the horrific murder of his former lover, Dorothy Gillespie, 73, of 203 Underhill Ave in Brooklyn.
Police say Isaac stalked Gillespie and waited for her outside an elevator as she returned home from grocery shopping. Isaac, who was dressed as an exterminator, used a gasoline filled insecticide canister to spray Gillespie before setting her on fire with a barbecue lighter.
“He opens the door and sprayed her methodically over her head, over her body,” NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said. “She’s cowering, trying to protect her face with her hands.”
A resident of the Prospect Heights building said he heard sounds of an intense struggle. “She was screaming at the top of her lungs,” said the resident.
“It sounded like a person being attacked, rather than someone stuck in an elevator,” said the neighbor. “It sounded like she was in trouble.”
Residents of the building where Gillespie lived say the older woman moved Isaac into her 5th floor apartment earlier this year. The former postal worker hired Isaac to do odd jobs but fired him after she caught him stealing, her nephew told the NY Post.
Isaac told cops he had left a note on Gillespie’s door with a list of chores he was demanding payment for. But Gillespie refused to pay him after she caught him stealing and kicked him out.
Police today charged Isaac with first-degree murder and arson in Gillespie’s death. He was also charged with arson for setting fire to his own apartment in a nearby building after killing Gillespie.
NBA Star, Kobe Bryant’s Wife, Files For Divorce
When Vanessa Bryant found out Kobe cheated in 2003, the 8 carat, 4 million dollar diamond ring had her forgiving him; but here we are eight years later and Vanessa has filed for divorce, prompted by Kobe’s infidelity.
“The Bryant’s have resolved all issues incident to their divorce privately with the assistance of counsel and a Judgment dissolving their marital status will be entered in 2012,” a representative said in a statement.
Kobe and Vanessa met while he was shooting a video for his hip-hop album, which was never released. Vanessa was a 17-year-old backup dancer who was still in high school. When Kobe and Vanessa married in 2001, his parents and sister who disapproved of the relationship were not in attendance (so I know they’re glad).
The couple’s been married 10 years with no prenuptial agreement in place and because California is a community property state, Vanessa is likely entitled to half of Kobe’s earnings during their 10-year marriage. The LA Lakers star is expected to make $25,244,493 this year, according to ESPN.
Vanessa is seeking spousal support and custody of the couple’s two daughters, 8-year-old Natalia and 5-year-old Giana.
Singer & Crowd Shaker, Fantasia Barrino Gives Birth To A Baby Boy
Fantasia Barrino gave birth to a bouncing baby boy last night. The baby’s father is ex-T-Mobile manager Antwuan Cook and he was said to be at her side during the delivery.
Fantasia was admitted to Presbyterian Hospital in Charlotte, North Carolina yesterday afternoon after she went into labor. The baby was actually due on December 29 but her delivery came earlier than expected.
Cook who is still married to his estranged wife Paula, began his extra marital affair with Fantasia while (according to his wife), they were trying to patch up their marriage. Fantasia even testified during a separation hearing between Antwaun and his wife Paula last November, that she had previously been pregnant by Antwaun but had an abortion. Guess the baby came back 10 months later.
