Word is NFL’er Larry Johnson and his longtime girlfriend Julissa Bermudez (formerly of 106 & Park) got engaged over the weekend. The couple (pictured above at a bday party last year) have reportedly been together for about 3 years. Peep what an anonymous CL tipster sent us:
Don’t know if you already reported this or not but Larry Johnson & Julissa got engaged this weekend. I was in Vegas and on Saturday night me and my girls went to PURE nightclub. On the flat screens they had in the club, they had pictures of Julissa and Larry from when they were really young to the time when they became a couple. Under the pictures it said Congratulations Larry and Julissa & the DJ kept giving them shout outs. Larry looked extremely happy and was dancing on tables all night. Julissa was by the DJ both just chillin’. But when the night was over, they were all hugged up on each other. It was really cute!
MARIAH SPEAKS ABOUT NICK ON ELLEN
Newlywed Mariah Carey told how she wants kids with husband Nick Cannon and flashed her bling ring in her first TV appearance since tying the knot.
The smitten songbird shared her happiness on pal Ellen DeGeneres’s show and revealed Cannon wants them to have a big wedding every year. Mariah admitted guests at her secret Bahamas ceremony were outnumbered by stylists doing her hair and working on her wedding dress. And she confessed she would never have proposed to Cannon if he had not popped the question. Mariah proudly showed off her dazzling ring as Ellen asked if she is now planning to start a family. She replied: “Yeah.”
AL REYNOLDS RELEASES STATEMENT
Al Reynolds is speaking out for the first time since his March split from wife Star Jones. In a post on his official MySpace, Reynolds, 36, writes:
Dear Friends: If you think you are having a tough day, may I propose you walk in my shoes for a few hours. In my mind, it feels like “Dump on Al Month.” And I’m not having fun yet. I have been called a gigolo, a freeloader, unemployed, a sham and many other things that don’t bear repeating. People on television, radio and the internet have spoken disparagingly of my life, my sexuality, my career and my integrity. The media has barraged me (at my home), my friends, my family(including my 79 year old mother), my college classmates, my students and my professional colleagues. Yet, despite this intense level of provocation, I have said nothing. My Publicist has put out a one sentence statement: “We’re taking the high road.” And we have and will continue on that path. As much as I want to defend myself, it seems like a silly and futile exercise. It’s clear that the media doesn’t want to let the truth get in the way of a good story. I hate to ruin their fun. I take great comfort in the fact that my loved ones and those people who really know me continue to love and respect me. Thank you “all” for the endless emails, phone calls and words of encouragement. I know in my heart that I entered my marriage with love and the best of intentions and leave it with great sadness that it didn’t work.
What I want people to know is that I am not the caricature portrayed by the media. I am complex, contradictory and capable of great intelligence but also remarkable stupidity. In other words, I am a human being. To me, labels are for clothes, not people. So…..Please don’t try to define me; don’t try to categorize me; and most of all, don’t label me. Instead, JUST GET TO KNOW ME. And if you see me, just call me Al.
Congrats!
Congrads to Larry and Julissa (although I’m hurting on the inside – NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Wow well congrats to Larry and Julissa…
I’m tired of Mariah and Nick…NEXT!!!
And Al can get NEXTED too…just collect your alimony and go play in traffic.
They make a purrdy couple. I wonder what does Jay has 2 say about this.
Julissa is a little cutie, ain’t she? Good luck to them both.
Star…I just cannot believe Dwayne Wade is hitting that.
I;m happy for Larry & Julissa. Also, I really do think Mariah and Nick are in love. I hope it will last forever for both of the happy couples.
I think they make a cute couple
wow…what a well thought out and intelligent statement. I hope that people will take him seriously from now on, and stop judging people all together. Besides, we’ll never really know what went on between them in their marriage, and due to the sanctitiy of marriage it’s really none of our business anyway. KEEP UR HEAD UP AL!!!!
CONGRATS TO THE COUPLE, BUT I READ SOMEWHERE THAT HE BEATS HER…whateva tina made out ok with ike, right?
I SEE U AL…yeah you loved star like liza minnell’s ex husband LOVED HER!! LOL!!
WE WILL SEE MIMI…we will see. AND ELLEN CLOWNED HER ABOUT THAT LITTLE TATTOO THAT SHE CAN COVER UP WHEN THINGS DON’T WORK OUT COMPARED TO NICK “I’M SO SPRUNG” MASSIVE TATTOO
Very well said!! I am actually one of those people that said some things about this man based on his appearance and things I have read. His words shook me and I must admit that I feel a bit – ASHAMED!!
Aww for Julissa and Larry…wasn’t a fan of her at all on BET but i’m happy for her and them! he’s fine girl…
Something about Larry isn’t quite right…. Al is finally coming out (no pun intended) only because he needs to further his hustle. I predict a reality show in the works. smh.
Congrats to Larry and Julissa.
Mariah Carey…I donno
Al….no comment
hmmm must BE NICE to b all in love n shit!!!!
wait hold up why da F is the left side of my screen not showing??? cmon CL get it togther!
Congrats to Larry and Julisa, wish them the best…
Mariah and Nick with babies… Oh LAWDDDDDD…. lol
Al – I think that was a very profound statment he released and I myself my step back and say I may have labled him wrong. Maybe he is not a “fruitcake” and maybe he did really love Star…. Who knows… Wish him the best too.
im happy for julisaa get it gurl you got ya ball player!! lol i kinda feel bad for al reynolds! I cant wait to see what mariah and nick kids look like!!
Larry: WOMAN BEATER!!!!
JJulissa: Unemployed idiot
nuff said!
I just dont know what to say about Mariah’s dumb ass. Man she was one my all time favorite entertainers/singers/etc. I cant believe this dumb move she made…i mean out of all the men in the world….NICK CANNON? I mean hell that makes me seem like had i been there the chic would have married me! There is still something that seems phoney about it all i cant quite put my finger on it yet but…i dont believe it still. Well this confimrs it…..THE END IS NEAR!
love this couple!! they look so great together, really happy for them
Mariah pleaseeee!!!
Um #1 who told John Travolta Jr. that is was okay to have his chest showing like that in his maroon blouse?
#2 Al the fact that you wrote that long @ss dissertation defending yourself (but not really since you are taking the “high road”) seems suspect. What straight man would do that? Or even care? lol
now I know it’s true love !
¡ MIMI ROCKS !
Julissa and Larry? Ok they make a cute couple but isnt that the dude everyone was saying was Jay’Z's boyfriend? I see the “ROC” sign around his neck…well i dont believe it thought. They are hot together and two hotties so go LJ! I aint mad
Awwww I love, love and Im happy its making a big comeback. ( I hope my boyfriend gets the marry fever too)
Congratulations to Julissa and Larry!!!!!!! I just hope that the rumors about his abuse are not true. It does nothing to be with a fine, successful man if you are being physically and emotionally abused. Why be with a man if you can’t enjoy him?
Congrats Julissa & Larry.
Mariah & Nick… Okay
And [Al Reynolds] Very well thought out and genuine statement. There’s always two sides to a story.
I have always been a Julissa fan. She seems so cool, and she is very pretty. Congrats to L&J
People need to leave Al alone. Damn.
I have always loved Mariah, but the things she does sometimes are mystifying. This is one of those times.
hold up, he was dancing on the table?
how gay!
So Jay and Beyonce get married; then Larry and Julissa turn around a get engaged? Hmmm….
I hope Julissa knows she is a beard. I bet she does. Women now days marry men knowing they are gay, but hey, he makes a good arm piece. HOW YOU DOING BASIL…
Julissa good luck with that
Jay and Lebron are friends so does that make him Jay “lover” too. People need to leave that Jay is gay stuff alone he is not gay.
Al let it go your bringing more attention to yourself.
Mrs. Cannon I am starting to feel yall a little bit.
Congrats to them both!!
I wish she was still on 106…after she got a hang of the hosting thing, she wasn’t that bad.
Why does everyone have to be gay???? Ugh…The more I look at him, Al don’t look gay to me. He just looks like a nice guy and from what I’ve heard and seen, Star is a not so nice woman. Maybe he was too good for her. And like someone else said, we’ll never know what really went on, so just let it go. Hopefully he’ll find him some nice woman one day.
IM NOT BUYIN THE WHOLE NIC-IAH THING…SOMTHING SMELLS FISHY
AAAAND YES I MADE THAT NICKIAH UP, MEDIA DONT STEAL MY WORD !!
DIDN’T LARRY USED TO USE JULISSA AS A PUNCHING BAG? HEY IF SHE LIKES GETTING HER ASS WHOOPED OCCASIONALLY…….MORE POWER TO HER.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE CHECKS STOP COMING
Im happy for Mariah
blah @ Larry and Julissa so under the radar! lol..
Very intelligent well thought out evasive statement from Al. He said what had bothered him and what needed to be addressed without telling the reasons for the divorce.
Al will find a nice lady some day, her name is Mordecai.
what kinda dude dances on a table?
Yeah, you telll em Al! lmao GAYNESS OVERKILL!
stay strong al!!!
….she signing for life time of ass whoopins … think gurl think lolol,, no congrads
Nick and Mariah…Odd
Larry and Julisa…Who cares
Al Reynolds….So what
lol @ 29
Tell them AL! So happy for Nick and Mariah…Julissa you are the luckiest chic on the planet…..He is beyond fine! And he’s rich? Cant beat that!
Gotta retract: Larry beats on women? Not so fine after all…she can have that
Can we be real for a minute?… This Nick and Mariah thing is ridiculous. It’s sudden, random, and comes off as contrieved. There’s a reason people are giving them the wonky-eye. They both seem impusive and unstable and as much as I hate to say it, Mariah does not seem like she has fully conquered those demons that drove over the edge a few years ago. I feel like she’s cruising toward another break down (erratic behavior, quickie marriage to man 11 yrs her junior, sudden/dramatic weight loss, etc.)
AL, we get gay vibes fom you b/c YOU ARE VERY EFFEMINENT(extra glossy lips, super cozy around equally glossy-lipped men, rampant questionable sightings, baby hair, etc.) It’s called calling a spade a spade…if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, chances are it’s a duck. If you take issue with this catergorization either put some damn base in your voice or come the hell out the closet.
tell em why you mad AL!
Sext, but why is Larry chest out like that…..Anyway Al needs to sit his sensitive ass down…he definitely is a sissy…man up!!! Your main source of income(Star) is gone…go get a damn job.
LOVE Julissa!!! she always showed love to latinos on BET (which is probably why she got so much damn hate! face it Tigger and her held it down!) ….congrats to the both of them!!
Congrats to the couple. Wish them the best.
Julissa >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Rocsi
Congrats Larry and Julissa. They look really happy together.
Why is it that when people decide to do the right thing when it comes to marriage, most people feel as if they are taboo? It really doesn’t matter how long a couple’s been together or what they’ve been through as long as they want to get married it’s their personal choice. Back in the days people would do the same impulsive thing Nick and Mariah did and stayed married for 30+ years so stop with the hate. Let people live and be happy.
Julissa and Larry- Good for them i suppose. Hope he keeps his anger in check
Mariah- She is a fool. There on that Tom and Katie type relationship
Al- Sorry dude, but you did NOTHING while you were married to star!
I want to know why everyone thinks Mariah is crazy for marrying Nick Cannon. There will always be some shyt you don’t know about your mate. And there will always be some BS to go through. Mariah has been there done that…
I could swear I heard Maria say she didn’t want kids…hmmmmmmmmmm
Congrats Larry and Julissa!
@55
Mariah is so fake, yeah she said she didn’t want kids.
“It’s hard to have kids in this world. I don’t think I could properly educate a child right now. Maybe in the future, but I actually haven’t thought about it. For now, I enjoy my dog Jack’s company.”
larry is a narcissistic gay man. Do we ever see him kissing up on that woman? No. She’s always the one pictured hugging up on his violent ass.
Larry and Julissa are SUCH a cute couple!
:]
LOL mariah opened up on ELLEN?
wwwoooooww
lol
Julissa and her Larry are cute
