According to gossip columnist Jawn Murray, America’s Next Top Model winner Eva Marcel Pigford, 23, is dating House of Payne star Lance Gross, 26. Word is the couple appeared together at a cook out at Judge Mathis’ house over the weekend. “They look very much in love,” said one guest.

LIL MO & HUSBAND END IT FOR GOOD / TRACEY MORGAN & WIFE END IT

Lil Mo & Husband earlier this year in Sister 2 Sister

Shaq and Shaunie aren’t the only ones who are dabbling in divorce proceedings. Lil Mo and her husband have called it quits and so have Tracey Morgan and his wife of 20+ years. Here is the scoop.

From Jawn Murray’s AOL BlackVoices BV Buzz column:

Pint-sized vocal powerhouse Lil’ Mo (real name Cynthia Loving) has lived her life like an open book. The singer’s on-again, off-again marriage to entrepreneur Al “Gus” Stone has been documented in multiple Sister 2 Sister cover stories, and is the basis for many of her previous hit songs. After announcing this past April that they intended to reconcile, Mo and her husband, whom she met at a Washington, D.C.-area gas station, have officially called it quits, again. “We are officially over! Paperwork and all! It didn’t work out and we’ve been back and forth because we realize we are two good people who made bad decisions and have parted amicably. We have been a part for a while and just never told anyone because that is the one thing we should have kept private but didn’t. We realized you can’t be together just ’cause your friends say y’all look cute together,” she said during her album release dinner last Tuesday at the home of her business partner Russell Webster in Washington.

  4. dctrinigyal

    OKAY MAMA PATTERSON, SHE LOOK ALRIGHT.

    CONGRATS EVE…YOU GOT A CUTE ONE THERE.

    TRACY HAS PROBLEMS…HE NEEDS HELP

  5. @ 3. I’m still catching up from the Labor Day break, ya heard.

  6. NY and her mom still look like drag queens!

    Good for Eva!

  7. hopechrissy

    That’s a shame, too many good black couples getting divorced, all b/c they want to be with someone else in the industry or b/c … well hell, it’s b/c everyone in hollywood just wants to play house and screw the next best thing.

  8. hopechrissy

    Oh and for Eva and her boo, they look too cute. As for New York and Sis. Patterson, well, that’s another story… we are not even gonna go there!

  9. TayNae

    awh man that’s lance! i went to howard univ. with him. we were in the howard fashion shows together. good for him.

  10. hopechrissy

    #2 @ Candi, Lance is from Tyler Perry’s Show House of Payne!

  11. Okay thank the stylist and make up person who got a hold of New York’s momma. THANK U THANK U THANK U.

    Eva and who??? House of Payne, I am just not interested. Sorry I tried to watch it but Allen Payne is so not believeable in the role.

    Umm Lil Mo, come on I read that article about her driving around town chasing him like she was crazy and him with other women and this was after she was famous. I knew it would be any day now that she realized that Negro is not worth her time energy or money, moving on.

    Tracey Morgan, well his ass is always tossed anyway, she is probably tired of it all. Poor thing,

    The one has spoken.

    NY doesn’t look that bad either, yeah people I know you are going to rip her but she doesn’t other then those over sized tah tahs.

  12. Just_Wanna_Know

    I’m glad Mo is leaving her husband. I read the S2S interview when they first seperated and it sounded like he was no good. I couldn’t understand why he took her back. He was using her and he let his baby mama’s use her too. Just trifling.

  13. yes

    sister patterson looks nice for a change

    as for the boycott, they’re only giving ppl what they want, they ate up fol and ilny so they’re givin more, gotta make money where money is to be made

  14. yes

    u cant get mad cuz someone is exposin ppl for who they are, if ur not the stereotype u shouldnt be mad, they choose to be on tv

  15. aijuswannasay

    # 1, AINT THAT KINDA HYPOCRITICAL NOT KNOWIN EVA CHANGED HER NAME A WHILE BACK THEN TRYN TO TASK THE CLOOP FOLK FOR NOT UPDATING FASTER??? JUST A RHETORICAL QUESTION (DOES NOT NEED A RESPOND).

  16. sxycarmel26

    Thats sad. No one stays married anymore.

  17. I’m a little confused about Tracy Morgans statement about his wife….. he said she is his rock and she has been there supportive of what he is doing? What is he doing? I don’t get it. And 25 years is a LONG time to go strong and call it quits. And if he’s at rock bottom and she’s supporting him why are they getting a divorce?

    And Oh yeah I boycotted VH1 a LONG LONG time ago I can’t stand to watch all of the coonery that goes on in that show. Then again I only watch TVONE, TBS and OH for the most part anyway when I get a chance to watch TV so I guess my opinion might not matter lol. Who cares.

  18. MS. Rochelle

    i can’t believe people actually watch Flavor Flav or New York’s shows. It makes me ill to the gut to watch that bamboozled mess.

    I see divorcing is the new trend fro celebrities. smh

    Lance looks pretty handsome. That subtle biting of the bottom lip is a nice look. I like I like

  20. New York looks good. That VH1 money is doing her right.

    Lance is a FINE ASS MAN. If it’s true…GET IT EVA!

  21. Ms Truth

    Divorce is never easy. So i hope Lil Mo and Tracy Morgan take some time to think about all parties involved and remain friends.

    Eve man is sexy. Good pick.

  22. 25 years! Sheesh! Exactly how old is Tracy Morgan??? What they do get married when they were 10???

  23. Correction: And Oh yeah I boycotted VH1 a LONG LONG time ago I can’t stand to watch all of the coonery that goes on in that *network*

    pardon

  24. ms_mac

    @ #1 Marcel is her middle name. Guess she thought Pigford was not the business.
    Never seen House of Payne but that brother might cause me to catch an episode or two. Dude is fine.

    Sigh, I’ve given up on marriage entirely. Even the high school lovebirds can’t make it. Dam, dam, dam…..

  25. Eva…GET IT GIRL!!!!!!!!!!….he is a sexy dark man!!!

    So glad New York has a better weave….good upgrade!!!

  26. sexual chocolate

    divorce is a bad thing

  27. By the Way…Glad sister Patterson upgraded her weave too!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *claps*

  28. UMMM VH-I is stupid people would have watched that show, because its controversy that would have ensued. Think about it, successful black women dating more then likely white men, you would have had that on lock and then panels on that mess on tv and radio etc etc. I do not care for all the drama, its a mess that we love Flava of Love and I love New York and the rest. But you can also watch CNN and Tavis Smiley. The fact is people have always played on stupid stereotypes, my idea in life is not to live it. Oprah and those like her are the counter of the I love NY, so why do I care that its on TV. Some of us act like her everyday, do not speak proper English, want men to sex them just because they smiled, etc etc. She exist, she is not a character. Lets boycotts videos while we are at it, if you really want to know what is destroying the image of the black woman, turn on BET.

  29. hopechrissy

    Ms. Rochelle, I agree w/ your statements. I feel the same way. Divorcing must be a new trend in hollywood and everyone and their mama is getting a divorce. There are two types of people in hollywood: – the divorced and the gays. Which one is worse, only God in heaven knows. Marriage is not significant anymore like back in the day. You don’t see people living together until “death do we part” it’s sad; and sometimes celebrities, especially black celebs always try to blame the media for their breakups. Newsflash, if you stop screwing with every Tom, Dick, Harry, Jennifer, Lisa and so on, and focus on your vows (the covenant in which you made with not only your partner but, GOD himself). This problem wouldn’t happen. Oh well, too bad, too sad, these are the last days. That’s all I can say!

  30. bambam

    I stopped supporting New “Coonzy” York and the rest of VH1/Viacom’s (BET) modern minstrel shows a while back.

    I’m waiting for my cable carrier to get TVOne. As for reality shows, nobody beats Bravo (Top Chef) anyway.

  31. JUDAH

    @MRSDAWSONDN

    The man was saying in a roundabout way that he is a homosexual now because it’s more advantageous for him in the entertainment industry. That’s why so many of these black men are divorcing their wives. They’re getting tired of living a lie. It’s a comedy of errors because so many of these sisters are so “open-minded” and support homosexuality and bisexuality. It’s coming back to bite them in the ass because they either will have to be open to their husband being a homosexual (i.e. Will Smith, Duane Martin, etc.) or get a divorce and have to lie to the public. It’s pretty obvious, the man stay in a pair of pumps and lingerie, lol.

  32. Excuse the typos, but I was too annoyed to edit.

  33. @31 judah

    Thanks for the clarification on that. I was thinking the same thing but I didn’t want to accuse since I didn’t know but yeah he played the gay cellmate a little too good in The longest yard. Dang…. another one bites the dust!!

    Pick up the PIECES… I said pick up the Pieces!
    lol

  34. Eve’s man is cute.

    Who shot thier husband in the past? Wasn’t lil Mo? I can’t remember who it was!

    Tracy Morgan released a wierd ass statement. If she is all that your rock, friend, then why are they divorcing?

  35. msweb

    TRACEY MORGAN’S BEEN MARRIED FOR 20+ YEARS……
    DAMN HOW OLD ARE THEY…WTF???? I THOUGHT HE WAS LIKE 35

    AND EVA THA DIVA’S MAN IS CUTE AS HELL
    LIL MO WILL BE FINE

  36. msweb

    DAMN!!! NEW YORKS MOTHER STEPPED IT UP FOR SEASON 2
    THANK GOD 4THAT

  37. @31–Who said Tracey Morgan was gay? Am I confused. And Duane and Tisha are still together according to the live radio show I heard them say it themselves. Will is not gay and unless you are sleeping in his bed you do not if any of these men swing the other way.

    And does anyone else find it funny, how we keep labeling black men gay while white women keep bringing them home and becoming Mrs so and so. Are we Snow Bunnies are better at spotting the straight black men then we are? I do not believe any of you think that.

    We need to stop labeling our men gay, get over the fact there are some down low brothers out here, let them live in the open so they can get the hell out of our beds, and realize there are some really good BLACK MEN OUT THERE too.

    the one has spoken….

  38. WOW

    NY and her mother looks nice! and we cant blame VH1 for the behavior of the black women they cast! Sadly, many black women act like that in real life, its not an act so they need to stop with all that. They didnt pay that girl to take a dump on the floor or bootz etc to shake their @ss every chance they got. C’mon!

    Eva’s man is handsome.

  39. ms_mac

    @ Setian, it was Keke Wyatt, the dumass broad (singer) that went on record to say that her white mother didn’t let her watch Roots because she didn’t want her kids to think all white people were bad, yet her mother called her and her brother nigga so much when they were growing up, she thought that was her name. lol. Rhymes With Snitch has the rest.

  40. bambam

    @ 39

    But VH1 CHOOSES to EXPLOIT this behavior.

  41. JUDAH

    @38

    Alright sis, if you say so.

  42. Dame

    It saddens me that ppl can’t stay married anymore. Go Eva that man is hot.

  43. #20 you are usually on point, but how in the hell did you put new york and anything about ”good” in the same sentence?, hope you were talking about the city or state, and eva is fine as HELL. She just naturally bad.

  44. Ms. Patterson don’t have dreams, she have movies…lol

    That should be me on I Love New York 2…u lames aint vote enough but it’s all love

    Can’t nobody seem to stay together anymore. Seems like all the low profile couples are headed to Divorce Court.

  45. aijuswannasay

    # 30 @ BAM BAM, I WOULD ALMOST AGREE W/ THAT HAD THEY NOT KICKED TREY OFF THE SHOW, I’M LIKE WTF!!! HE WAS THE BEST ONE ON THERE, THAT SHI* MADE NO SENSE. SO I’M BOYCOTTING…(THE REST OF THIS SEASON AT LEAST)

  46. LikeThatYall

    I AM IN TWO MINDS ABOUT THIS BOYCOTT:

    1. IT’S GOOD THAT SOMEONE IS TAKING A STAND. I THINK THAT THE FLAVOUR OF LOVE FRANCHISE IS DISGUSTING, CRASS AND UNWATCHABLE. THE SAME GOES FOR ALL OF ITS SPIN-OFFS. I WOULD DO A HUGE DISSERVICE TO MYSELF FOR WATCHING SUCH MIND-ROTTING FILTH!!

    2. THE SAD THING IS THAT BLACK WOMEN LIKE NEW YORK AND ALL THESE OTHER WOMEN WHO DISRESPECT THEMSELVES GO ON THESE SHOWS BY CHOICE, THEREBY FULFILLING NEGATIVE STEREOTYPES. IF BLACK WOMEN STRONGLY SAID “NO” TO THIS VULGARITY, VH1 WOULD HAVE NOTHING TO STEREOTYPE. NOT EVERY BLACK WOMAN HAS TO BE OPRAH, BUT AT LEAST TRY TO MAKE AN EFFORT TO BETTER YOURSELVES AND UPLIFT OUR COMMUNITY. WHAT WAS THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT FOR? THINK ABOUT IT–IT WAS FOR ALL THESE WOMEN, LIKE NEW YORK’S FREEDOM!! NEVER FORGET THAT. YOU ARE INSULTING AND EXPLOITING THE LEGACIES OF GREAT PEOPLE LIKE MARTIN LUTHER KING AND ROSA PARKS.

  47. Tara

    go eva…he’s a cutie!!!

  48. I refuse to boycott VH1…if ppl think that 20 black women represent the whole race then that’s their ignorance.

    When Columbine got shot up, I didn’t assume ALL white teen boys play video games and then go kill their classmate.

    I don’t assume all ppl from Iraq are terrorist.

    People in this world are dumber than shit on a stick. And if more ppl want more positive images out there then support the shit when it comes out.

  49. Mallato

    @ 39… I concur a lot of black women act like that in there everyday life… It’s not VH1 fault …

  50. bambam

    @ 46

    You got a point there, but I read up on the Bravo blog about why he was voted off and even though I wish he wasn’t canned, I agreed. He took the leadership position for his team, combined with some weak dishes, and that always spells death.

    Glad to see there’s another fan (at least next season, anyway) of the show.

  51. keishe

    I love New York, Charm School, and Flavor of Hoes does not represent me at All. So, I don’t care. Im watching it.

    Eva the Diva’s man is a cutie pie and she looks like Beyonce in that pic.

  52. kennedi

    Eva legally had her last name changed to Marcel (which is her middle name) shortly after becoming ANTM and firing her management staff (Tyra and Benny Medina). They look really cute together. And I didn’t realize he was that damn fine! His acting skills ain’t about shit, but he sho look good…..

  53. Lily

    New York is proof positive that there is just too much money in Hollywood. Feed the hungry and dump New York.

  54. bonifant

    Wow!
    Lance went to Howard University Class of 2004

    Congrats to him from vid modeling (kelis I’m Bossy & and MJB) to acting and dating Eva.

    I hope the relationship is good and they have fun with it

    Black love

  55. aijuswannasay

    ^^^^^^TRUE, BUT VH1 IS THE NETWORK THAT HAS THE AUTHORITY TO PUT SUCH SHOWS ON THE AIR…THEY COULD JUST AS EASILY MAKE A REALITY SHOW ABOUT REBUILDING HURRICANE DAMAGED MS/N.O OR A SHOW ABOUT PEOPLE MAKIN CHANGES IN UNDERPRIVELEGED NEIGHBORHOODS ETC…

    YEAH I’M SURE THESE HOOD RATS ARE KEEPIN IT REAL BUT VH1 DOES NOT HAVE TO BUILD THE PLATFORM FOR THEM TO DISPLAY THAT…SHOUT OUT TO DELICIOUS!

  56. Lance is probably the finest brother on TV right now!!!!! He got a sexy body too!

  57. I knew it was only a matter of time before someone had a boycott against Vh1…well NY and her mama both look…dare I say this, good lol.

    Nice to hear about Eva and her new boo…lets make a toast to young luv!

    Damn didn’t ya’ll just post the news about Mo and her ex reconciling? Well in that article she still seemed bitter…and you can’t say she didn’t try to make it work.

    Wow another celeb divorce…all this divorce crap is just depressing.

  58. TGS

    LMAO @ Judah!

    Some of you better open your eyes. If Tracey ain’t gay, he’s wearing the hell outta that suit….as well as Will.
