COUPLE ROUNDUP: STAR JONES FILES FOR DIVORCE / SO DOES SWIZZ BEATZ & HIS WIFE
Wednesday, April 23, 2008

Star & Al @ Diddy’s White party last year.
Say What? Star Jones has filed for divorce from her husband of three-and-a-half years, Al Reynolds, Entertainment Tonight reports.
She filed March 26 in New York Supreme Court in Manhattan, according to ET.
“Several years ago I made an error in judgment by inviting the media into the most intimate area of my life. A month ago I filed for divorce. The dissolution of a marriage is a difficult time in anyone’s life that requires privacy with one’s thoughts. I have committed myself to handling this situation with dignity and grace and look forward to emerging from this period as a stronger and wiser woman.” [source]
SWIZZ BEATZ & MASHONDA SPLIT
And another couple is rumored to be divorcing too… After four years of marriage, R&B singer Mashonda has split from her producer husband Swizz Beatz. A representative for Swizz Beatz didn’t specify the reason for the separation, but stated the split was “on amicable terms”.

Ok are we really suprise about Star Jones and her husband? Im not trying to wish bad luck on anyone but she said it best, she invited the media into her personal life which is never a good idea. And also… not to be funny, but isn’t her husband gay? Just saying

WHAT? Forget Kanye and Alexis, Swizz and his wife was one couple that I thought was really down for the grind. They even have a business relationship which I thought was cute and commendable. Is anyone stayin together anymore? I think that married black couples really need to start attending marriage counseling. It’s not taboo anymore and it really does help and I think health care covers it but there are numerous community groups, including churches that offer it.
Im not surpised about Star Jones and her husband. He seemed like he was up to no good (certified gold digger and fame hog). I just didn’t feel like he really loved Star and she deserved more than that. I could be wrong….
I wish both couples the best during this difficult time in their lives.

“Several years ago I made an error in judgment by inviting the media into the most intimate area of my life,” she tells ET in a statement.
Come on now Star, you did let the media into your wedding but after a few weeks nobody cared. I mean it wasn’t like the paparazzi was following ya’ll around trying to get shots to put on front of People magazine.

To be honest, I think divorce is the new trend in “Hollyweird”. It’s just like the new trend in “Celebville” is for an older man to date a younger woman and vice versa, I’m beginning to think that maybe some celebs think it’s cool to divorce. Also, FYI to CL Readers, tomorrow and Friday 4/24-4/25/08 Juanite Bynum and Bishop Weeks will be on FOX network’s Divorce Court.
Last but not least, it wouldn’t surprise me if a few months or years from now that Usher and Tameka, Will & Jada and Beyonce & Jay divorce.
That Hollywood. Everyone wants to f–k everyone. It’s one big “orgy”.

I understand why Bey and Jay kept their private life private. I hate to hear stories like these esp. when it involves black couples - it’s hard enough to find a good man/woman - and just when you think you have found true love - this happens. I guess I just don’t understand it - what does it take for two people who claim love, to stay together until “death does them part?” Is love enough? What is missing?

@19 and everybody else who is aking the same question.
I tell you why people can’t stay together. People are getting married for the wrong reasons. Either looks, money, fame, or guilt. Nobody really gets married for love anymore. So when the storms come they want to punk out and call it quits. Last time i checked, you’re suppose to be married with someone for the rest of your life. Not just during the good times. Trust me once you overcome those stormy days,weeks, months or even years together faithfully, you won’t let anything come between you three. God should be involved in a marriage if you truly want it to last.

As for Mashonda and Swiss…SMH, it’s sad how marriages don’t work these days, for whatever reason. And then people wonder why folks are not rushing down the aisle. Why? It’s more than likely going to end in divorce.

People need to understand that when your in the public eye….you get photographed, put on blogs, tv/entertainment tonight shows etc…all the while being subtly attacked energetically with peoples thoughts/opinions/harm wishes about you and your relationship. Your spirit feels this. That is why public relationships fail. Its not a trend. There is more opportunity for people to know about you now adays than even 10 years ago with all the technology (unhealthy) we have. Its very unnatural and unbalanced…and thats why relationships fail.
Im not saying the celebs share no part in it because of their decision to be in the entertainment industry, Im just saying, thats the way it works

36, im not saying all people in the public eye who have relationships are destined to fail…just that there are more factors thtat could contribute to it. for example, everyone knows that rich men in the industry (even in general), cheat more often than those with regular incomes. so another factor that could be the cause of failed relationships in the public eye

Lol @ Star losing weight and droppin boo! j/k
It’s not just married people or celebs, but couples in general seem to be splitting up left and right in the black community. I don’t know what it is. But it’s very strange…almost like some type of curse or something. I’ve counseled 3 people this week regarding their relationships. And what’s even more ironic is both male and females alike, say the same exact thing, “I can’t find a good man/woman”. Something isn’t adding up.
And why do couples seem to split so fast right after they have a kid?
42.
C
Wednesday, April 23, 2008 /
I KNOW she is not trying to blame the media for any bit of the dissolution of her marriage. Let’s recount:
1. You married one of the kids! You knew full good and well what Gal was up to!
2. You had a CORPORATE sponsored wedding and constantly, even when no one cared, talked about your impending nuptials on The View.
You craved the attention honey. The difference is that you’ve taken the blinders off and finally come to terms with what we all, including you, knew from the very start. We understand Star…honey, you just wanted a man. And I guess you figured just any man would do! Did you not learn anything from the Terry McMillian scandal? And where were your girls Vivica and Lisa Raye because somehow those two don’t come across as women who don’t offer up opinions. I guess they just wanted you to be happy, if even for just a little while.

She is blaming the media for what? Chic, we all know that it’s because the man is gay! The media had nothing to do with it. Unattractive women do that all the time. They are flattered to be courted by an attractive man and they fail to open their eyes to the obvious facts such as the fact that he is gay, a gold digger or has an alcoholism problem. they are just too flattered that such a man would be interested in them.
And she has some nerve to blame the media. Didn’t she get her whole wedding for free because she invited the media in and got all these “sponsors” to pay for every detail of the wedding?

Swizz and Mashonda I am surprised about them I was sure they would last.
Star and Al I saw this coming years ago. Star put her business out there soaking up the media attention.
I totally R E SPECT Jay and Bee need for privacy and they will last because they are so private.

Al left star as soon as she lost that other show… After she was fired from the view, people were saying he’d left her because his main objective in being with her was FAME (he’s a Queen and being with a celebrity is like being chosen to sing on stage with Tina Turner every day of your life). Well, people were saying she was staying with friends (Samuel L. Jackson’s wife, included) but they obviously worked that out… and ppl said he went back then because she was getting another gig…well, he’s gone now…and I believe it’s because she lost her new job and obviously has no future in tv.

@39 the only male stars cheat more than regular guys because they have more women throwning temselves at them just because of their money (i.e. Jay-Z, JD, Diddy,Nelly, and 50 Cents y’all know I’m telling the truth.) It’s all about self-control. Fame doesn’t have anything to do with it.

Jay Z and Beyonce are about as private as that ugly white couple from “The Hills” who parade around Hollywood blasting her crappy songs… If you look at their vacation pics (which are most of their candids…do you think it’s an accident that they are seemingly easier to catch doing these lavish, extraordinary things?) you’d see they’ve obviously dressed for the cameras… Do you need to get up and comb a huge wig, apply makeup, and a silk romper to sit in the middle of the Ocean on a yacht with your man? lol I think bikinis are the usual attire…
They don’t say certain things about themselves because it keeps us watching, honestly…I think they know they were such an oddly matched couple that we’d all be entranced, watching them every chance we got… It was to increase their popularity, then…it was to draw MORE intention, instead of the opposite…
And, they’ll stay together like the Beckhams because together they are like a brand. Because who would call them a perfect couple after the 10 song rant on “B Day,” in which she not only said he looked a mess before she got with him, but wasn’t good in bed?

Unfortunately nowadays, instead of “till death do us part” it’s just “good while the sh*t lasts”…. so sad but true! But let’s keep it funky… we all knew that Star jones and Al weren’t going to make it for all the obvious reasons. It didn’t take a call to Ms. Cleo (the psychic) to figure that one out. I guess people just gotta live and make their own mistakes…

CMEEZ Said:
And why do couples seem to split so fast right after they have a kid?
My theory (and I’m not saying this applies to Swizz and his wife) but I think some couple’s whose marriage is on the rock have a child hoping that the baby will tie them together forever and force them to work out their marriage. I’ve seen it so many times in real life situations. Never a good idea really because most of the time the child ends up being losing out the most (usually).

They speak on their relationship because it is apart of their lives they want to keep from the media.

I’m not touching Star and Al. Stevie Wonder could see how that was going to end.
Swizzy and Mashonda aren’t really a shock either. I mean, Swizzy is ALWAYS out by himself and she’s never around. That’s not a good recipe for a healthy marriage.

Don’t think “back in the day” it was much better, there were less divorces cos people were stuck together for economic reasons, most marriages were arranged, and you had to stay even with domestic violence. Now folks can leave unhealthy relationships.

Aww I’m sorry to hear about Mashonda and Swizzy! They seemed so happy together, and they just had the beautiful baby. I wonder what went wrong? They mad such a nice looking family!
It was just a matter of time for Star and Al. So I’m not surprised about that. I guess she didn’t blow up like he anticipated.

Not surprised at all about the divorce however, a local news station in Miami has reported recently that newly seperated basketball star Dwyane Wade has been spotted leaving several basketball games with Star Jones. They are speculating that the 2 may be dating. But I was a lil skeptical on that when I first heard it and now the divorce announcement just makes it more suspicious.

I feel sorry for anyone who spent two cents on her stupid book. She said he was the man God sent her. Obviously he wasn’t. How could she be such a guru on relationships when at the time they hadn’t even been together for a year. Star brought this on herself. She knew he was gay and now the whole world knows that is what ended their marriage.

@notbuyingit i think he’s gay BUT it has nothing to do with him not saying anything about the rumors. from what i can tell, it seems like black men are sooo caught up on sexuality and proving themselves. most male actors get called gay at some pt. in their lives (i’m talking about the white ones b/c it’s rare that a straight black celeb is called gay unless you’re terrence howard) but most of them just let the rumors ride. the ones that go out of their way to dispel the rumors (i.e. tom cruise) are the ones who get the full backlash b/c everyone thinks “whoa if they’re going out of their way to prove their straightness then they must be hiding something. they’re probably gay”.

@31>>>You bottom lined it. It seems as though commitment is missing from people’s relationships. We can look at a couple and they “appear” to look happy, but you never know what’s behind closed doors.
You read comments like, “why is he/she with that person; they need to upgrade,” and it usually based on someone’s looks. Nobody thinks about character and all the other necessities that make for a long lasting good relationship/marriage. You get the finest man or women in the world, but if they are a nag, a liar, a cheater, or have no integrity, what good is a pretty face gonna do?
OK, I’m off my soapbox now.

@92- Are you SURE you could be in Star’s place if it’s true whe’s with Dwayne Wade? Because it’s very likely that looks isn’t all he was looking at when he eyed her.
In other words, if you can’t hang education wise with Ms. Jones (ie Law degree) you may want to sit your arse down somewhere until you get some or a few more letters behind your name, lol!!
I say it’s about time these athletes wised up and got with a woman that can shake HER money, as well as she shakes her money maker!!!

We have to get to a point that we are celebrating the marriage and not the extragvant wedding. I think it is the media and the wedding industry that are brainwashing us into thinking that a blinged out wedding equates to love. I think Star’s situation serves as a cautionary tale that all that glitters is definitely not gold.

star is typical of a lot of sistahs out here whose biological clocks are ticking and they are so desperate for the big wedding, the man, the picket fence and the babies that they lie to themselves and select partners even when every yellow light is screaming that they should keep looking. i’m sure star’s girlfriends cautioned her. and so did her family. and so did her inner voice but she wanted it so bad, she convinced herself that he had converted. the minute she said that she knew all she needed to know about gal and his past, you knew she was delusional.

This is very NOT surprising to me about Star…I knew this was coming one day. She didn’t love him. She was just happy she could be 300 pounds overweight and get a man, plus marry him. It was all over her face. She was desperate to be loved, and i feel bad for her. I do hope she finds someone who really loves her and who can really love back. But this split was inevitable people.
