NICK & SELITA CALL IT QUITS & SPLIT
Thursday, October 4, 2007
Nick & Selita in March 2007 (Wireimage)Another Hollywood couple for the books - Nick Cannon and Selita Ebanks called off their engagement and have officially broken up, according to Ebanks’ rep and People magazine:
“Selita and Nick are taking a break to focus on their careers but still very much love each other and remain the best of friends,” says her rep, Melissa Raubvogel.
The breakup comes just five months after the Drumline actor made a proposal that lit up New York’s Times Square – literally – as he asked Ebanks to marry him with the help of a jumbotron.
By August, Cannon, 26, was more measured when it came to nailing down wedding details, telling PEOPLE, “We haven’t really talked about a lot of that stuff. You’ve got to take it slow.”
As for Ebanks, 24, she said earlier in the summer that the pair had some fundamental differences between their ideal ceremony. “He’s all about the bling and having a big wedding. Me? I’m all about the courthouse.”
Word in the blog-o-sphere, Nick was already seen being cozy with “Fell The Noise” star Zulay Henao at the Hennessy Artistry New York concert last night. I actually liked these two as a “couple”.

Damn, that’s bad. They looked good together. But, who says they can’t focus on their careers when they are together?

Her face looks weird in this pic…I think she needs a two piece and large biscuit smothered in gravy to fill out those hollow cheeks- I am making myself hungry talking about food. night y’all!

NO SHOCK AT ALL
Thursday, October 4, 2007 /
It’s no shock at all. People these days are always jumping into things they are not ready for especially marriage. Beyonce and Jay-z are a good example of taking things slow. Nick Cannon can’t settle down with no one. Both of them need to sit down and shut up. I was going to be very surprised if they got married.

I thought it was about publicity for the both of them. I mean they were “together” for a couple of months before he did that spectacle of a proposal.
Yeah not a surprise at all…

Not surprised one iota. His proposal came a bit too soon - wait at least 4 seasons and then see if you feel the same about that person.

Nick got played. I think they really liked each other, but his butt start falling hard and fast-then he proposes. He’s young, cute, and has a bright future, I wouldn’t sleep on him, as for her….I think she played him, she’s pretty and all, but I never thought Nick was her type.

I agree with #27 It never seemed like she was head over heels for nick the only time she would show PDA was when they were on the red carpet she just used him to keep her name in the limelight cause remember she denied they were engaged when he first popped the question.

Sike, that was as predictable as Solange and her divorce, Z list celebrities will try anything to be in the spotlight. Shame on it all.

I hate to say it…but something told me this relationship wouldn’t workout*(if this is TRUE). I wish them both the best. Relationships ARE WORK and it requires a lot of “give and take”.

It’s a good thing that they ended now instead of in divorce court. They were a cute couple but you never what’s really going on in these celebrity relationships.

I don’t know why women fall for nick cannon he is such a cornball. He probably cheated like he always does. Then there are the stupid women who will actually date him, knowing he just broke out of a serious relationship 2 days ago. SMDH

YOU TOLD HARPO TO BEAT ME???
Thursday, October 4, 2007 /
This is to be expected considering he just met her THIS YEAR!! They met in Miami Superbowl weekend and was talking about marriage two months into it. As you get to know people and time passes sometimes you realize they’re not who you thought they were.T

I knew this was coming when a reporter asked Nick when the wedding would take place and he said he didn’t know. He said that you can’t rush into these things and that he had done his part which was proposing so basically he was thru with it.
I think it was all a stunt anyway. Nick Cannon is not ready to be anybody’s husband.
Selita will find someone else and Nick probably already has.

GOOD-THAT’S WHAT HE GETS FOR PUTTING CHRISTINA MILIAN ON BLAST STATING THAT HE AND HER WERE NEVER AN ITEM AND WERE ONLY FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS-
HE INTENTIONALLY TRIED TO HURT HER WITH HIS NEW CHICK-AND I BET SHE LEFT HIM AND NOT VICE VERSA, IF YOU ASK ME HE LOOKS STUPID BECAUSE HE WAS OBVIOUSLY IN DEEP FROM THE START SEEING THAT HE PROPOSED AND ALL-
NOT A GOOD LOOK NICK AND MAYBE NOW YOU’VE GOTTEN A DOSE OF YOUR OWN MEDICINE-KARMA’S A B*TCH
AND I DON’T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT HE’S MOVED ON ALREADY OR HE ISN’T HURT-HELL IT TAKE SOME MEN YEARS B4 THEY PROPOSE SO HE HAS TO BE HURT THAT IT ENDED AND THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS ABOUT IT-JUST LIKE HIS DISS TO CHRISTINA-LOL

OKAY… NEW this was going to happen when he first annonced he was getting married and i found out to who i said “WHAT DA’ HELL” there was no SPARK to these two as a couple i could not Dig or get into them at all… every picture, every time they were in public eye i just was like HUH’ what…
WITH christina there was a SPARK and they were more of a couple that you said they made a CUTE COUPLE and you liked to see there interviews on the red carpet together, and there pictures together were nice and you wanted to read about them in magazines as a couple!

Why is this no surprise to me? She has the aura of a gold-digging wench.
Watch her hook up with someone more prominent, much richer, and probably white.

OH GIRL HAS A CAREER ALREADY AS A MODEL-HE PUT HIMSELF ON BLAST BY PROPOSING TO HER AND GUSHING ABOUT BEING IN LOVE WITH HER-IF ANYTHING SHE MADE THIS NEGRO LOOK GOOD AND NOT VICE VERSA
HE PLAYED CHRISTINA AND HE END UP GETTING PLAYED-KARMA POINT BLANK
NICK WAS TRYING TO LAND HIM A VICTORIA SECRET MODEL AND MAKE HER WIFEY-JUST FOR BRAGGING RIGHTS & THESE TWO BECAME AN ITEM WHEN SHE STARTED TO GARNER RECOGNITION FOR BEING A VICTORIA SECRET MODEL-IT DOESN’T TAKE A ROCKET SCIENTIST TO FIGURE OUT WHO WAS PURSUING WHO

I never thought they looked “right” together……and she’s younger than him? Wow…she always looked older. This seemed like a publicity stunt …for him…he’s always about showing off. Too bad…so sad.

I knew this wouldn’t last. I truly believe they did get married in LV, the “engagement” was the cover up, and next year we will find out that the “breakup” was actually the divorce. I thought it was very impulsive, and I have a feeling that Nick is gonna end up back with Christina Milian.

I don’t care too much for Nick Cannon. He seems like the type that fronts and sh*t all the time. Like even if he didn’t have nothing he would still lie and say he does. Like the dude in the hood thats always lying on his D*CK. Talking about who he phucked and he still a virgin. Or how he paid and he rocking his cousins shit or something.

Nick was sprung and he rushed things (I think he proposed twice - Las Vegas & NY…dayum she must have the good good!) , and she wanted to take things slow…This shouldn’t be a surprise.

Such Magnificence
Thursday, October 4, 2007 /
Thank you #49 Bailey…my thoughts exactly. I’m so happy Selita isn’t with Nick anymore…she is too gorgeous and mature for his corny-ass. Seriously, Nick seems fake as hell…he had some nerve to play C.Milian out and I’m glad Selita saw the light before it was too late.
Also what good publicity was she getting from being with Nick? In my eyes it was a major down-grade for a Top Model diva such as herself…his ass was certainly the lucky one in that relationship.

What? No, please say it ain’t so. I knew this was coming. Christina Milan word of advice you were right about Nick however they all turned on you. Started bad mouthing you when he is untrustworthy. Christina stay with the real man Dre, besides Nick is cute but he is no Dre. Your damn man is so fine.+

Do you remember that Nick was dating Kim K before this engagement. When he broke off from Kim he needed to replace her quick to get the media to disassociate them. That is when the no name Selita came about. The engagement was false fromt the beginning.

Don’t know who is more lame, Nick or Ray J…. either way, this was going to happen sooner than later. And to think BET kept showing them all hugged up together at the BET awards like they were the modern day Will and Jada. Get serious.
