Brandy out & about (Splash)

Brandy will not be charged with a crime for a fatal car crash last year, authorities said Friday.

Brandy’s attorney Blair Berk also issued a statement on Friday:

“We are extremely pleased that after a more thorough and extensive investigation by authorities … Brandy Norwood should not be charged with any crime whatsoever relating to the accident back in 2006.

These past 12 months have posed an extraordinary hardship for Brandy and her family, who have been unfairly forced to live under a cloud of suspicion initially caused by the ill-advised and premature press release sent out by the California Highway Patrol accusing Brandy of wrongdoing before the police investigation was even finished.

Brandy continues to be mindful that she was so fortunate to be uninjured in this accident and there was a life lost that should be remembered.” [ READ MORE ]

DIDDY TO GET A STAR

Diddy will be honored next month with his very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Diddy was quoted on Jamie Foxx’s (who also has a star now) radio show saying:

“I’m from Harlem New York, so to get a star in Hollywood is just mind-blowing. You can get a lot of things but when you see those stars on the ground…that’s something I can’t even say I dreamed of and to be getting recognized for it is definitely something I’m gonna have my whole family out there for.” [source]

SNOOP DOGG’S ILLEGITIMATE CHILD!

Snoop Dogg’s secret (up until now) son, nine-year-old Julian Corrie Broadus, from Snoop’s former high school friend, 34-year-old Laurie Holmond, has stepped forward to speak his mind on his place on Snoop’s new scripted reality show, Father Hood, as well as in his life.

Julian and his mom dished details of Snoop’s lack of participation in Julian’s life to Star magazine who has also managed to obtain paternity documents which proves Snoop is indeed Julian’s son…an account that Snoop has never denied publicly.

“I should be with him on the show, but I’m not,” Julian tells Star magazine. “I don’t want to be an actor; I want to be a basketball player. But I want to be on the show to get to know my family. It would be so nice for all of us to just hang out together. I hope we can do that one day.” [ READ MORE ]

    Brandy Denies Bible Study Brawl

    R&B star Brandy has slammed claims she was involved in a fight that broke out during a Bible study meeting in Los Angeles recently.

    Reporter Jawn Murray claims the singer left a Scientology meeting and came directly to a Bible study class at First A.M.E. Church.

    According to Murray, Brandy was challenging some of the principles of Christianity when the discussion became heated and chairs were thrown, which led to Brandy and her entourage being escorted out of the church.

    The singer’s representative, Courtney Barnes, slams the story telling EURweb.com, “The whole middle portion of the story is [bleep].”

    He claims the ruckus Murray referred to involved a mentally ill person at the church who started trouble with “a person who had come in with Brandy.”

    Brandy’s friend asked church elders to escort the mentally ill person from the back of the church after disrupting closing prayers.

    Barnes says the singer was at the church because she is interested in learning about religion and denies that she studies Scientology, adding, “She’s taken some classes, but she has no formal relationship with Scientology. She was at First A.M.E. for a Bible study and she was invited by a member of the church.”

    um ya’ll some haters diddy has worked pretty hard in his lyfetime to come up out the hood be nigga broke with no future and now have enough money to buy jewerly worth a whole year of your parents salary with blinking twice diddy is a franchise mobile get over yall selves this dude deserves it hes like a male oprah

    snoop need to get his stuff together i hate dead beat dads

    brandy was being an average american on a phone and gt into an car wreck get over it im pretty sure if yall were talking your asses off on a phone and got into a car wreck when somebody died your not going to be shouting the world i killed her i killed her i need to go to jail EVEN THOUGH she had mary-jane in the system and was her cell phone too

    holla

  10. KAREE

    I have read just about everyone’s posts about Snoop and I feel yall might be going a little hard on him. First of all, no one really knows the circumstances around him not being around the mother/child. If she’s like half the baby’s mommas out here, she probably didn’t even want him to see the boy unless he was coming out his pockets. Broke bitches do that too. No one is perfect and Snoop surely isn’t. Any day that a nigga makes an effort to be a part of his family’s life is another day in the right direction. Back then when he made that boy, we don’t know what was going on with him and his wife. And he clearly takes care of that little girl who doesn’t at all look like his kid without problems. So I think we need to ease off Snoop because for all we know, that baby momma could be crazy as hell and not easy to deal with. If he takes care of the ones he lives with, I don’t see him denying the other one.

    As far as Diddy goes, he needs to sit down some damn where and try to take care of all the rugrats he keeps spawning. I’m surprised we haven’t seen that on tv yet as many shows as he likes to be on :-)

    wow snoop did u hit dat one ugly mexican watever color she is ugly ass bitch

    as far as snoop goes, it says snoop never denied the son and from what i see the family looks well groomed so how do we know that snoop doesnt support them financially and spends time with his boi? for all we know snoop could be spending time with him but the boy just isn’t feautered on the show. we’ve got to stop being hard on all these black stars back until we know the full story and not one persons claim.

    diddy getting a star is ridicolous

  14. Jelisa Floyd

    I dont know what went on with Raz-B, his brother and Chris Stokes but i do know that if you want to expose somebody recording it and puttin it on myspace is not the way to go. I feel sorry for him and his whole family cuz now they all have to deal with these aligations weather we are around or not. But all i know is these people really need to get it together cuz thats fucked up.

  15. MorganLady

    I’m so happy for Brandy! I’m glad her prayers were answered. The truth always comes to light:-) Even though Diddy is alot of things he deserves a star. He’s an entrepreneur and should be recognized for his achievements. SMH at snoop….I agree with some comments I read Julian should not be in a magazine to get to know his father and his siblings but thats the world we live in. I hope that fathers in general start being daddies to their children.

  16. Spelman Girl

    “Star magazine who has also managed to obtain paternity documents which proves Snoop is indeed Julian’s son”….Julian is Snoop’s son…not Snoop is indeed Julian’s son. I was so confused I had to read the whole story over again lol.

  17. flame

    that little boy looks like snoops other kids

    “….which proves Snoop is indeed Julian’s son”

    You mean “which proves Julian is indeed Snoops son”?

  20. Stephanie

    Really…celeb or not if ur wrong ur wrong and Brandy killed someone…….she should b responsible for her actions and be held accountable

  21. Tayyyyy

    Be a father to ya fucking child I get it now brothers never wanna stand up even when they can .wtf

  22. GEM

    Good thing Brandy was cleared (if it wasn’t her fault) BUT she’s setting herself up for another tragedy with the release of that record. *snickers fiendishly*

    AS for Snoop’s kid…he and his Mom are being opportunists…beautiful, thoughtful baby but he knows he shouldn’t be on that show with the man’s WIFE and LEGITIMATE KIDS. And, I don’t mean to be ignorant in that…it’s just true…Shontae and the kids shouldn’t be humiliated because Snoop had a baby. Plus, you don’t want on that show, baby…it’s crap…

    Diddy is so ’95…

  23. GEM

    HAHAHAH@LamePPKen A.K.A Brandy Stan (with picture).
    You are serious, aren’t you?

  24. ariona

    @141
    you clearly didn’t read where it said it wasn’t brandy’s fault.

  25. GEM

    I just read about her religious beliefs in the topic and I’m glad you made mention of it…And, I believe she did cause a scene at the church, because she’s essentially an atheist, unless she’s changed her mind in recent years.
    She said, herself, that she turned away from her religion because she’d beseech God for help but her “prayers were never answered.” (And, it was eventually reported that she’d been exploring Scientology.)
    I just find that such a self-entitled way to look at life and religion…she should expect that life isn’t going to be some idealistic portrait…not even for pseudo-celebs like herself. SHE chose to be in Hollywood, SHE chose a career that culminated in low self-esteem and eating disorders, SHE chose to get pregnant by a man with baggage…I just don’t get how she can jilt God because the laws of nature weren’t suspended for her and every one of her actions had a reaction?

  26. I am soooooooooo glad Brandy was cleared. I love Brandy to death I have all her albums I grew up listening to her. Its just sad that the media tarnished her image saying that she was guilty before the trial even began.

    Diddy I don’t like him…….

    Snoop who cares! I don’t watch the show.

  27. Lauren

    Thank god for Brandy. I am soooo happy for her. She had a tough year with Ray J’s sex tape and then this scandal with the car accident.

    As far as Snoop, I honestly don’t see how its acceptable that his other kids are on the show yet this little boy is not. Even if Snoop acknowledges him, things like this can ruin a child for life. However, his mama know she’s wrong for putting him up to this. Star Magazine, c’mon she’s just tryna get some hush $$$ out of this!

  28. Denise

    THIS WOMAN’S SON SAW HIS FATHER ON TELEVISION WITH THE REST OF HIS SIBLINGS AND NOT HIM, OF COURSE HE IS GOING TO BE JEALOUS AND HURT DUH. YOU CAN TELL WHEN YOUNGSTERS ARE POSTING COMMENTS. I WOULD BE PISSED IF I SAW MY DAD AT CHUCKIE CHEESE WITH MY OTHER SIBLINGS WITHOUT ME, WHEN I WAS NINE, IMAGINE ON TV. THE FACT THAT HIS SON’S FRIENDS SAW HIS DAD ON TV WITH HIS OTHER SIBLINGS YOU KNOW THAT THEY PICKED ON HIM PROBABLY. SNOOP NEED TO HAVE HIS SON ON THE SHOW BAR NONE. I AM GLAD THAT BRANDY NAME IS CLEARED, I WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT HER, SHE IS GOING TO COME OUT AND SHOW THESE PEOPLE SOMETHING. IF SHE WAS GUILTY GOD WOULD NOT HAVE ALLOWED FOR HER NAME TO BE CLEARED.

  29. Candace

    @45…Actually its just common ground for me. I live in LA and I work in entertainment so I know how everything goes behind the scenes. Don’t be so quick to judge.

  30. LAY LAY

    Snoops alleged son is just trying to get a cut of that check. He probably wasn’t event thinking about “spending time with snoop’s family” until he saw them on t.v.

  31. This blog is a trip. If they say Brandy is innocent then great and I am glad she won’t have to do any time.
    But everyone in this blog knows that if Brandy or any celebrity for that matter was somewhat involved with the death of thier mother/sister/aunt they would be in a lawyers office so fast thier heads would spin. So please stop fronting saying that the family of the woman that was killed shouldn’t sue her. Let’s not forget that someone lost thier life.

  32. Have Not Thought of a New User Name

    Something dosn’t sound right with the Snoop story, it could be true I wouldn’t put it pass him but I am having a hard time believing it.

    I love the show though lol

  33. Raven_fan1

    I wonder how Shantae feelsz about all of thisz?!??!

  34. MisterNee

    If Diddy can get a star, I know I can get one too. Thanks, Diddy!

  35. Christmas Baby

    Brandy was not on her phone at the time of the accident. Her cell phone records were pulled and verified. I almost ran into the back of some dummy who was going 5 mph in the fast lane at nighttime!!! I was doing 60. I came up on her so quick and slammed on brakes at the last minute. I was so pissed when I pulled up beside her and saw she was on her cellphone. She looked lost and scared but damn, how about pull the hell over? Now if I would have killed her I guess I would have been wrong too????

  36. Courtney

    Man, we all kno thats a money scam by snoop side joint….why all of a sudden she wanna get close on nat’l tv ?? she tryna get a check and puttin the boy in the middle of it….DEZ HOES BE GAMEIN…Say it with me “PAYCHECK”

  37. Brandy, they stated that there was not any evidence that pointed to her to say the accident was her fault. Just b/c there was no evidence doesn’t automatically mean that she wasn’t at fault. And did they say that the woman who died had marijuana in her system so she was at fault? WTF? How stupid! They should know that the sticky icky stays in your system for a long time so that should be irrevelant. Sounds like a cover up to me.

    Diddy…yeah Congrats!

    Snoops other baby mama should be pimp slapped. She put that nine year old child up to that and that’s sad. There was plenty of time (9 years to be exact) before the show aired to express how “his son” feels like he should get to know his family. Laurie is nothing but a publicity whore.

  38. Lucy

    Happy new year! Nice discussion, would you love to try something new ? http://www.interracialloves.com you will be surprised…

  39. Phil

    I’m glad Brandy is not facing charges. Just to clear things up for people who may not know, she was not on a cell phone nor was she under the influence of drugs and alcohol. She still has to face those 3 $50 million dollar lawsuits though. Good luck.

  40. Miss Creative

    TO REBEL: BEFORE YOU DO EXACTLY WHAT THE HIGHWAY PATROL DID: POST IRRESPONSIBLE COMMENTS BASED ON INACCURATE INFORMATION, you may want to and actually SHOULD get the strory straight. BRANDY HIT THE OTHER WOMAN BECAUSE THE OTHER WOMAN (DECEASED) rear ended and hi the car in fromt of HER SUDDENLY. THE autopsy report ALSO SHOWED THAT THE DECEASED WOMAN HAD MARIJUANA IN HER SYSTEM WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING. THAT CAME FROM THE CORONER!!!!!!!!! So, even thought this is somewhat of a gossip sight, such uninformed comments should NOT be posted once investigations are already complete and it was obvious after MONTHS of investigation by the authorities AND the coroner, that BRANDY WAS NOT LIABLE FOR THE ACCIDENT, READ THAT WORD AGAIN ACCIDENT! she was NOT AT FAULT…. “eW, Brandy Killed Somebody”….bdddddddt DUH!

  41. Miss Creative

    MELISSA! I am sure that it is not , ALL OF A SUDDEN, BECAUSE OF A TV SHOW, that Snoop;s son wants his father 2 be in his life. HE IS NINE YEARS OLD! Just because of the time the story broke, doesn’t mean, that is why he feels that way. CHILDDREN ALWAYS want their parents to be in their lives. DAMN! You sound like you hate the kid for being born. The ones who were wrong, were Snoop adn the woman who lay with him knowing he was married. To the person that commented that the adultery was one thing, but getting pregnant was another…NO THE HECK THEY WEREN’T THAT IS THE SAME EVENT, in case you missed the bieds and the bees, that was when it happened. Pregnancy actually was not the sink, CHEATING ON HIS WIFE HAVING SEX WITH SOMEONE HE IS NOT MARRIED TO IS! Some of you should stop being self righteous, stop acting like the moment they put someone’s face on tv, that suddenly they become flawless and infallible. Often they do more dirt than average Joe Scmoe, or Joe Jackson, because now they have more money to finance their sin and indulge in more of it, mmmm hmmmm!

  42. Sony

    Good for Brandy. Sorry, but that lady’s family only saw $$$$. Brandy didn’t kill anybody, it has come to light that it was the women who died that had somehow caused the accident.

    Puffy gets a Star? (As I hold up the W in a white girl’s stance) What ever!!

    I love Snoop and will be a fan of his ’til the end. However,

    1) Snoop you should have never “slipped” back in without protection
    2) Laurie Holmond obviously had a plan when she slept w/ you after marrying “Boss Lady” Chante (she ‘gon kick your azz for this)
    3) And now miss Laurie wants her son to be on Snoops show

    Girlfriend, please. You knww what you were doing when you did it, it just back-fired in your face because you’re not where Boss Lady is so now you feel as if the world should know that you have a son by Snoop too, not just Shante. Well, now we know. AND!!!!! Your son isn’t owed anything except the payments that you already receive from Snoop. Your son spends time with his grandmother (Snoop’s Mom), you’re receiving your monthly payments for child support and so you feel like your son deserves more because….?

    You have a LOVE CHILD w/ Snoop. Chante has the WHOLE PACKAGE!!! Snoop owes you nothing more than what your cheap-sleazy azz deserves. GET OVER YOURSELF.
