THE ROUND UP: HOUSE OF PAYNE; ISAIAH IS ‘MAD AS HELL’; NE-YO VOLUNTEERED TO RAISE EX-GIRL’S CHILD; AKON’S LAWYER SAID HE DID NOTHING WRONG
Friday, June 8, 2007
HOUSE OF PAYNE WAS WACK!!

ISAIAH WASHINGTON FIRED FROM GREY’S ANATOMY

Like this is a surprise to anyone. The official word about Isaiah Washington and his fate with ABC was announced yesterday. Word is his contract was not renewed and he was let go.
Howard Bragman, Washington’s publicist, released this statement from the actor:
“I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it any more.”
One could only imagine what he means by that. The cast was notified Thursday night of the final decision, which, says a source close to the situation, was a long time coming. In the end, the source says, Washington’s behavior made him a liability [READ MORE @ PEOPLE].
I THOUGHT THAT WAS HIS BIOLOGICAL SON!

If you’re like me, then you didn’t know Ne-Yo stepped up and decided to take care of his ex-girlfriend’s child. The singer volunteered to be the father of a baby boy an ex-girlfriend conceived with another man when the biological dad failed to stick around.
The kind-hearted star, 24, is no longer romantically involved with baby Chimere’s mother but is determined the child will grow up with a father figure.
He says,
“My son is not biologically mine, but he’s had no father but me since the day he was born.”
Ne-yo just got all his cool points back for this. I thought they were all gone after that fish picture. LMAO!
SO WAS IT REAL OR FAKE THEN??
I know you all saw that video of Akon throwing some kid into a crowd earlier this week. This happened right on the heels of another incident at one his concerts (need I say more?)
Anyway, Akon’s attorney released a statement proclaiming the singer’s innocence in the bizarre episode, caught on fans’ cell-phone cameras, in which Akon appears to grab a fan brought up on stage by security and hurl the boy into the crowd.
“Given the information that we have reviewed to date, it does not appear to us that Akon was involved in any criminal conduct whatsoever,” read a statement from Akon’s attorney, Benjamin Brafman. “We are prepared to fully cooperate with any law enforcement agency that may be investigating this incident. We are confident that after a thorough investigation it will be apparent that no criminal prosecution of Akon is warranted.’ [SOURCE]
We’ll keep you updated!

Hilton Ordered Back to Jail!
Posted Jun 8th 2007 3:05PM by TMZ Staff
Filed under: Celebrity Justice
Paris Hilton was just ordered back to jail in Lynwood to serve out the remainder of her sentence! She’ll get credit for at least 5 days already served.
Hilton left the courtroom in tears, screaming, “Mom, Mom, Mom.” Hilton was also heard saying “It’s not right.”
One witness described the scene as: Paris was “physically escorted” out of the courtroom by a female deputy.
Hilton’s mother was later seen pacing the hallways, telling reporters, “I’m paralyzed right now.” Paris’ father Rick is still in the courtroom.
A Sheriff inside the courtroom tells TMZ that officers are taking Hilton straight from the courtroom to Lynwood. No timetable has been set on her departure.

I’m a huge Grey’s Anatomy fan and this saddens me because, Isiah is a great actor and was very good for the show. Now that only leaves 2 black cast memebers on the show, I would be mad as hell to. All the apologizing and doing public service annoucements for nothing. ABC is dead wrong.
Ne-yo just got major cool points from me. I don’t even like his music.
Akon, a wannabe thug that wants to be excepted in America!!!

Al Sharpton Is Right About Paris Hilton

——————————————————————————–
Al Sharpton is right.
Today when Paris Hilton got sprung from jail 20 days early — from a sentence that was just half of what was originally imposed — the story turned out to be that Paris’ shrink went to the jailers and said she was about to have a nervous breakdown. So they let her go home early with an ankle bracelet. Sharpton immediately said there may have been racism involved here.
Look, when he’s right he’s right. No matter what you think of Rev. Al, it is hard to imagine that anywhere in America a black woman is getting out of jail today because her shrink says she’s about to have a nervous breakdown. He says it wouldn’t happen, and I agree.
It shouldn’t happen either. It shouldn’t happen with “little miss just anybody,” whether she’s African-American or white or Asian or Hispanic or anything. And it shouldn’t have happened with Paris Hilton.

wow I am amazed that ppl think ne-yo taking care of this baby is JUST about money! Is that how u guys look at ur kids as a “bill to pay”! I am hoping that his intrest is more in the child’s upbringing and well being than him or his mama having major cash flow
>>>>>>> I agree and I don’t believe that’s about it either. First off, she can’t get child support from him since he’s not the biological father. Second, how do we know she doesn’t have a job? Third, she can’t force him to do it. The biological “father” isn’t a “father” in my eye since he abandonned his child. I still don’t care for NeYo as an artist, but I give credit when it’s due, I think what he’s doing is admirable.

Paris Goes Directly Back to Jail

Easy come, easy go for Paris Hilton.
A day after she was “reassigned” from jail to house arrest due to an undisclosed medical condition, the hotel heiress was sent back to the slammer by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer, the same judge who originally sentenced her to 45 days for violating her probation on an alcohol-related driving charge.
The judge ordered that Hilton return to Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California to serve out the reminder of her entire 45-day sentence, as opposed to the abbreviated 23-day sentence that had been agreed upon.
After hearing the verdict, a weeping Hilton was escorted from the courtroom by a female deputy, screaming, “It’s not right! Mom!”
The 26-year-old socialite had not intended to be present for the hearing, but upon learning that she was planning on phoning in her testimony rather than putting in a personal appearance, Sauer ordered the Sheriff’s Department to send a squad car to pick her up at her Hollywood Hills home and escort her to the courthouse.
An O.J. Simpson-in-the-white-Bronco-esque scene ensued, with swarms of news helicopters trailing the police convoy as it transported her to the hearing.
The Simple Life star’s reversal of fortune took place after the L.A. City Attorney’s office filed court documents Thursday afternoon, demanding that she be returned to the Century Regional Detention Facility to serve out the rest of her 23-day sentence.
City prosecutors also asked that the Sheriff’s Department be held in contempt of court for violating the judge’s original order by allowing the heiress to leave jail and be fitted with an electronic monitoring bracelet. The judge did not address the issue during Friday’s hearing.
Sheriff Lee Baca defended his decision to reassign Hilton to house arrest, stating it was based solely on her “medical issue.”
“It isn’t wise to keep a person in jail with her problem over an extended period of time and let the problem get worse,” Baca told the Los Angeles Times. “In my opinion, justice is being served by the decision to have her serve her time at home. She would still be in the county jail if it were not for the medical advice.”

I been seen the show the House Of Payne a while back on the CW so I don’t know why they acting like it’s new. It was corny then and it’s still corny now. Trust me it’s not going to get any better. I’m sorry but that show is just weak and I been try to tell everyone I knew before they even watched it.

As a matter of fact I’m not sure but I know that the House of Payne had other characters and actors on it and I think it lasted maybe a couple of episodes then I guess they just stopped showing it. I guess they updated it. I’ll have to check it out. Because I know that original show that he just came out with like last year on the CW was weak.

The house of Payne was very very dry- exactly what I said after watching. The uncle seems to be the “main character” on the show but he is NOT FUNNY… at all. I was so disappointed, but I think I’ll give it another try because I support Tyler Perry all the way. Any black man trying to do his thing gets mad cool points from me.
Isaiah is talented but he’s a BIG FOOL. He needed to cool himself down and just deal with it. What in the world, could they have posibly done to piss him the hell off like that? Well, as a big Grey’s Anatomy fan…… I’ll still watch the show, lol!
Damn Neyo, your EX-girlfriend’s son?!? well alright. I don’t know what more to say about that, but I guess he has a kind heart. I love the album, BTW.

As far as Isaiah Washington, he had it coming. Don’t get me wrong, I love him as an actor and I’m a big of his work but you can’t go around calling people FAGGOT, especially at the workplace. I don’t care who it is, you just don’t do that. He brought that on himself. He really messed up, because it’s going to be really hard for him to find another job at any other network.

It’s unfortunate that black male/female relationships have degenerated to a “who can get over on who first” mentality. Nothing fruitful can come from that. Both sides are too proud and unwilling to play their respective positions. The order has to be respected. There are many reasons why the relationship structure is the way it is right now, but I only see it getting worse.
I agree with you. There is definitely some respect issues in our community between black men and women.

Nikkiluvbug thank you for eloquently clarifying the plight of some single women with children.
I am sorry but there is never an excuse to abandon one’s flesh and blood. No woman should be so terrible enough to make a man give up on taking care of his responsibility.
Oatsuzn, very glad you have made it in life, but you sound somewhat sexist in your remarks. Sounds like you have lived a charmed life so far. It is your choice not to date a woman with kids but please remember a man can drive a woman down just as a woman can drive a man down. Your opinions are not objective at all. You would make a great conservative black candidate.
Anyways all I am saying is life can throw anyone monkey wrenches. Never think for one second that one’s status is etched in stone. Remember the meek shall inherit the Earth. God bless.

There is complexity to these situations, and I think that the fact that everyone seems to simplify it to Isaiah Washington being an idiot is TOO SIMPLE. There is no acknowledgment of the racial component. I would expect for people to tend to be somewhat self-centered in their analysis of a situation. So since my personal situation, being a heterosexual black male - is closer to that of Isaiah Washington than that of Knight or Dempsey - I tend to see things more from Washington’s side of the fence. When I see certain shit happen because of race, I am sensitive because it means that it can happen to me too. So that is why I find it so hard to see other black men so ready to see a black man go down for a misstep that would not be so damning for a white person.
Like you said, he was not as popular as Dempsey or Knight. Why do you think that is? Do you think race could have anything to do with it? You people just don’t seem to be aware of the fact that race informs so much of what happens to you in America. I do not walking around trippin or smackin white people in the mouth out of rage. But I am aware of the politics of race, and when race affects a situation, I don’t ignore it. Y’all around here acting like yall are white men and that you can’t get fucked up in the game over some shit too. That’s all I’m saying. That I want to see a brother get a fair shake because if a rich ass millionaire actor can’t get a fair shake then what do you think will happen to your black ass when you have a faux pas?

Washington didnt call him a faggot on purpose nor dooes he hate gays. He doesnt have to like em though, but i know he doesnt hate them. I mean, he played on on Spike Lees get on the Bus.
ANd it was a PRIVATE Argument that some asshole leaked and let the media blow way out of proportion. DOn Imus made a PUBLIC Statement on his Radio show, so thats different. Washington made a private statement he was wrong for.

@255. Stop Generalizing black women
I’ve dated single moms before. It’s kind of hard not to, being in my late 20’s and dating Black women it comes up pretty frequently. But as I said in one of my earlier posts, I learned from dating to see red flags. Single moms are a red flag for me, so I don’t even bother to get to know them. It’s not worth it to me. If that offends you then I don’t know what to say, but that’s just what it is.
I don’t think I have conservative views at all. You’re just used to hearing a certain female slant on everything u hear (tv, talk shows, news etc). Anybody that speaks as a man with pride is labeled a sexist. I do believe in a strong family structure and men and women with integrity helping each other. I know there are plenty of loser men in this world, but the loser women get no blame no repercussions.

Isaiah was foolish if he expected that he would keep his job. They decided immediately to fire him, but to make it easier on themselves [and to increase the ratings for the remainder of the season] they chose let his character ride for a minute. Yea, they made him believe that the PSA and rehab was his redemption, but unless he asked them to renew his contract then — he should have expected to be “released”.
And worse than that, he is going to have a helluva time finding new work.
That’s a good look for Ne-Yo. Helping to raise a child, is admirable whatever the reason.

I also thought House of Payne was wack..especially since I already saw one of the episodes when it premiered LAST SUMMER on basic tv. They totally overhauled the show and not in a good way…..when the show first aired last year, the older couple was Allen Payne’s PARENTS….now they are his Aunt and Uncle??? WTF. The set is different and they’ve added this random dark skinned dude who is now the son? I’m confused. All in all the show was disappointing them and still is.
Also…not surprised about Isiah…

House of Payne was bad. If I remember when its on next week I might watch again just for support but thats about it. The story lines/plots were obvious and so were some of the jokes and who couldn’t tell that his wife was cheating on him. And is the uncles mouth really like that or is that just for show???
I love Grey’s Anatomy-i’ll continue to watch. I don’t know why Isiah was “mad as hell” he brought this on himself.

Oh, thank the Lord I wasnt’ the only one who thought that House of Payne was BORING! I am going to continue to watch, but the premiere was so damn dry. I may have giggled once. There wasn’t even that much fake audience laughter. I’m still supporting you Tyler!!!
It’s cool what Neyo is doing. Maybe others could follow in his footsteps. Not so much that men should be taking care of other men’s babies..but that our black men should take care of thier own babies.
I wonder who is going to take Isaiah’s place.. Those are some hard shoes to fill. He was such a good asset to the show.

@sugarb
but what about the fact that he choked patrick dempsey during the argument. i mean i love him on the show but after choking another cast member, hurling out a slur and admitting it, denying ever saying the slur at an awards show, then confessing again, you kind of have to expect something to happen to him. it was inevitable b/c of his behavior. either way the show is starting to suck anyway

Ne yo is a real good one to volunteer to take care of someone else’s fu*kin.
Also I don’t beleive gay slurs and racial slurs are the same. Racial slurs are definitely more harsh. And no, neither one of them are right.
And no, Tyler Perry’s new show isn’t funny. But maybe they need to warm up… You know develop some chemistry.

If you mean by boycottin Grey’s Anatomy we’ll be supporting the black community…. you’re wrong mama.
Shonda Rhimes - the creator and writer is a black woman herself. She’s managed to create a popular prime time television show where a considerable number of ethnicities are represented. Being a Latina of African and Spanish Ancestry, I enjoy seein the Spanish, Black, Asian characters on the show - beautiful, smart and successful people. Shonda’s show is workin… its popular, it makes me feel good when i got people on my back putting me down. hell i’ll admit to it, i look forward to it.
Boycotting the show is not helpful to the minority communities represented, to Shonda Rhimes and her OTHER SHOWS, or to the writers or the gay community. ***Taking a sister’s show down and tearin it to pieces for a prejudiced brother’s comments do no one any justice.
Only God and the gay community can forgive Isaiah.
Words hurt and I think most of us on here know that too well unfortunately. Whether you agree with homosexuality or not, its not your place to be callin anybody a fa9, just like nobody has the right or the choice to call me a nig9a or sp1c. and if you think that, you are no better than those racist, cruel, slave owners/donimussupporting/clan members that run our country. That poster on pg. 2 or 3 actually said being gay is a choice… i’d like to tell them i hope they’re kids turn out to be the hottest dik sucking gay muthafukah around, but then that’d just be condemnin some innocent kid to have a mother or father like that. take your hate and bury it with your yourself.
gay men and women have to hide enough. they already grow up hating themselves because other people hate them first. sound familiar? its not right. THATS NOT RIGHT. Being prejudiced against a person for something they did not choose.
Isaiah, you may be fine as hell… but you got a nasty attitude. you made a mistake, so did the soldiers workin the concentration camps. they got “caught up” in the “heat” of the moment too. you called gays out several times. you fought with Shonda TR and Patrick and prolly half the cast too. You’re out, someone better is coming in. God bless you and help heal all hearts.
Bottom Line: Don’t let ABC “kill two birds with one stone”…. gettin rid of Isaiah and Shonda Rhimes and her cast is just takin more black and other minorities out of TV. Fuk that
If its any consolation to the ladies, I heard Taye Diggs name being thrown in the mess of actors considered to be replacing Isaiah on a few entertainment sites I work for.

I know one of the police officers who does security detail at the VA hospital were they film and even after the rehab and PSAs, they tension between Isiah and the other cast members did not cease. It got to the point were most of them were ready to walk out on production if they had to continue to work with him. In the end it’s about business first and they can’t afford to lose their core (white) audience over another anger Black man. He was just out of line. That night he didn’t have to repeat the slur he alledgedly use. He delivered a low blow and he got knocked out in the end.

Isaiah deserves to be fired, good for him. His comments clearly show his apologies where not sincere. He’s an idiot, hollywood is 90% white and gay he wont be working for a long time.

“House of Payne”..I did watched the 2 new shows also..and let me say this to all of the “Black Critics” out there. If shows like “friends, coach, and one main tv show that is so silly “Sex in the City”..Can stay on TV without any of their counterparts critizing it, Why should we always put down anything, when one of our own try to compete with everyone else. Mr. Perry..I’m proud of you for doing all you’ve been to do. Keep up the great work sir. (Thanks for donating to the “Katrina fund” when they needed it most.).

I missed “HOUSE OF PAYNE” first episode. I will catch it next time.
ISAIAH WASHINGTON: He should be MAD AS HELL…”at himself” for making such stupid, ignorant, comments & remarks about “GAY” co stars. As if it wouldn’t get around & affect his job in any way. This day & age…I think people should be ashamed to still walk around BIASED against people of different skin colors & races, as well as people with different sexual preference backgrounds & lifestyles! It is 2007—this dude needs to WAKE UP. This job was probably one of the best roles of his entire career, the show is on network/national TV, & it is a very successful award winning show….& he FUCKED UP! He needs to be MAD with HIMSELF!
NE-YO - Good for him stepping up to the plate. Eventhough he is not the real father (biological) I commend him for taking on responsibility of this child. The child resembles 50 CENT! Maybe 50 CENT is the biological father. LOL!!
AKON- I am getting so sick of hearing about him DRY HUMPING chicks, & throwing some white dude in the audience. FAKE or NOT, if the dude was dumb enough to go up to the stage…he must have wanted to be thrown!!!

It’s no surprise that they were gonna fire the only homeboy on the show *or the coolest cast member @ that*…. I just hope that whole situation doesn’t ruin him. Didn’t they make him go to some therapy group or sumthin’? WTF—that should b punoshment enough!!!
Perry’s HOP was on ch.9 months back and the shit was whack then too. Why would TBS do it to themselves??? Just stick wit the “Kings of Queens” and “Raymond”, why ruin a good thing…

I think it was unfair to fire mr. washington. i mean if you are a faggot that’s what you are. if you are so happy with being gay or a lesbian why does every little word hurt you. that is the life style you chose and that is the life stlye that is going to send you straight to hell no matter how much this world excepts you. GOD says it is an abomination and thats that.

I love tyler perry. Hid plays are absolutely amazing, his movies not so much and the TV show did nothing for me. It wasnt funny, the actors need a lot of work and the laugh box was annoying. I will support him and watch next week, I can only hope that it gets better.

it’s funny to see how quick these MEN on here are to call Ne-yo gay..Yall shoutin he’s gay like u just got sexed by him last night.
I’m all for Tyler makin his moves and whatnot,but the show was super weak.The last time they tried to air it,it bombed,thats why he put Madea,and Mr brown in it this time,to try n get people to watch..I can’t front on his hustle though,he got TBS to pay him for 100 episodes of house of payne

+ ISAIAH: Damn! I can’t believe it! I love Isaiah as an actor (especially as Dr. Burke!) and I can’t believe they fired him! I wanted him 2 get back with Christina and become Chief…. Now I’m gonna be pissed during Season 4 that he’s not there. I don’t even see how it’s gonna work (not only without him, but with Mer/Der) and I’m most likely not going to be as dedicated of a fan as I was before. Grrrrr…
+ NE-YO: What an amazing guy
+ AKON: Well…. I don’t know if this was set up as an act or if he really did it, but… I don’t really care
Hehehe.

from the interviews that ne-yo gave in the begining, he said that they slept together only once, and she got pregnant. It seems to me from other interviews that he thought that the baby was his, and later on got a paternity test and found out that it was not. He bonded with the child, and so he decided to still be his father. he also said in an interview that he pays all of her bills, and she does not pay for anything. She is a singer songwriter as well. She also did a tell all interview saying that ne-yo was lying that she was just his best friend. She was his girlfriend. It really seems like he may have found out after the baby was born. Here is an interview she did about him
HERE’S SOME OF THE INTERVIEW….
LP:I heard you two were married?
Jesse: We were never married, but i will say the industry has a way of making true Love into a joke.
LP:What do you mean by that?
Jesse: When you’re a new artist, the industry feels its a bad thing to have a girlfriend, wife, or whatever they feel will stop the the artist from focusing. So that means that
sometimes you have to leave your real life behind…
LP: How did you feel, about the way you were portrayed to the media, as the bestfriend he had a 1 night fling with that resulted in a child…
Jesse: Honestly I didnt know what to feel, i had a new baby to focus on, so i wasnt concerned about the label they put on me.. i was preety much on my own, Ne-yo was whisked away 3 days after Chimere was born. we were best friends and now they’re sayin we had a horrible breakup .. funny
LP: I Just read the new vibe interview for this month, and he said a few things in there about young lady and a breakup,i’m sure you read it, Was he refering to you? heres the link(http://www.vibe.com/news/news_headlines/2007/02/ne_yo_interview/)
Jesse: LOL… yea i read it, and it sounded like a PR script to me. cause thats not the way things happened, i guess it was a way to give him something to talk about for his new cd. not neccesarily about me.
LP: Do you Get Child Support from him?
Jesse:Im not going to talk about that.. next.
LP: How did you feel about the Sidekick Pictures of him and his dancer?
Jesse: I have to say I felt hurt and embarrased for my family, and my thought was omg how could i explain that to my son if he was older…. but like he said he’s grown, he can do what he wants. I’m sure he learned a lesson from it…
LP: Everyone wants to know….What is your take on the Gay Rumors?
Jesse: When i heard it I cracked up, like OMG here we go again….. i got at least80 phone calls and emails, NO I dont believe he’s gay…he does have a huge apetite for sex…but not with dudes (laughing)…his weakness: He LOVES women, especially women with BiG Butt’s… he’ll tell you that himself. But Gay NO..
LP: How do you feel about his new Girlfriend or Fling, people are saying he’s just tryna clean up her image because of the sidekick pictures, or that its all a set up to make you believe that he’s not gay…whats your take on that?
Jesse: Wow.. im not sure if thats his girlfriend or not… so im not at liberty to answer that…… I personally dont care… Tenile is a cool person, from what I know, . And I guess If Shaffer, i mean if Ne-Yo is happy then im happy…. As far as the cleaning her image comment… it may, or may not be true. who knows, who really cares… its not worth talking about.
LP: Did he cheat on you with her?
Jesse:I never asked him…
LP: Are you working with Ne-Yo on your project?
Jesse: No.. I wanted to do it on my own… Im makin my own way, with my own connects, I want people to work with me because Im talented and good at what I do, and not because we have a child together…. My gift will make room for me.. I got this..
LP: How do you feel about Ne-Yo as an artist and his accomplishments, and do you feel like you put your career on hold for him?
Jesse: I am very proud of him, i watched him work 24/7 with no sleep, to get to where he is, and he deserves it. Ne-Yo writes amazing classic songs, which is very rare, he definately taught me alot. Sometimes i let him hear what im workin on to get his opinion, cause i value it.
LP: What about your career?
Jesse: As far as putting my career on hold. Of course it was a small set back, and it was very hard.. but something far greater came out of that time. Chimere is my strength and my smile, so for that im grateful..
LP: Is Ne-Yo a good father?
Jesse: I can say he trully loves our son, he has’nt gotten a chance to really dive into fatherhood because of his schedule, but i definately see him making an effort to balance the two…
LP: Your song “what was you thinkin” is that about Ne-Yo?
Jesse: Maybe, maybe not… its about the pain of going thru someone taking advantage of your heart and the fact that you love them enough to always be there for them, then after they leave you with no valid reason, puts you thru hell, says a whole bunch of hurtful stuff, and shows up expecting you to take them back.. thinkin you would still be there..
LP:Are you two still Friends?
Jesse: Yes… we always find a way to make it work.. we irritate each other sometimes, but thats with any friend…
LP: Do you wish you guys were together?
Jesse: No…being single has its advantages…… i’m doin me… My Son and my Career are all I need right now, and thats what im focusing on
LP: Is it true that MTV is looking at you for a project?
Jesse: I cant talk about that right now…. but you never know whats gonna happen (smiling)…
LP: What about you modeling for Inkslingers
Jesse: wow you guys do your research… they’ve inquired about me doing a few things with their female division, but i dont wanna talk about that till its complete.
LP:What else are you doing? I saw you on 106 n Park
Jesse: LOL Omg.. yea it was a favor for bow wow it was his birthday, it was alot of fun…… Well God is definately blessing me. I’ve been doing shows, in the studio with Mario Winans, i’ve been writting songs for Mya, Cheetah girls, lindsay Lohan, Nicole from the pussycat dolls,just tryna keep it going, im working on my own project as well.. im about to do a few magazines.. work with a few clothing lines.. definately keeping busy..
LP:Well thank you for spending some time with us..where can people reach you..
Jesse: No problem mama… they can hit me up on myspace… http://www.myspace.com/jessecawhite

It’s too bad about what happened to Isaiah, but he set himself up and made many on the set uncomfortable, so ABC execs had to act in the show’s best interest…
#26- You’re right, they ALL need to be put in jail for their DUIs…
Neyo get 1000+ cool points, idk too many guys who would volunteer to raise another person’s kid…
Akon…idk why he would toss a kid in the audience, that’s just a lawsuit waiting to happen!
