Photo: WireimageFormer American Idol contestant and 19 year old Paris Bennett is expecting a girl in October:
Jamecia, who like her daughter and mother is a singer, is absolutely over the moon about being a first-time grandmother.
“I’m proud of how she did it. I was 16 when I got pregnant,” said Jamecia.
Paris’ great-grandmother is Shirley T. Bennett, 75, of Rockford, Ill.; her grandmother Ann Nesby, a gospel and R&B powerhouse, who lives in Atlanta, was with the Sounds of Blackness.
Who’s the daddy? “He chooses not to be in the public eye,” said Jamecia. “I respect that.” What does he do for a living? “I can’t tell,” she said.
“She has a ring,” said Jamecia, who’s hopeful that she’ll be planning a wedding for Paris.
The planning for an August baby shower is already underway. A few celebrities may fly into town for the show, including Queen Latifah. READ MORE
Congrats to Paris…
RUSSELL SIMMONS & CHILD SUPPORT
Photo: WireimageFormer married couple Russell Simmons and Kimora Lee were all the buzz this week after TMZ.com released documentation that orders Simmons to pay $480,000 of child support to his daughters Ming & Aoki Lee:
The agreement, filed Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, shows that until 2019, Russell Simmons will continue payments for Ming Lee, now 8, and, until 2022, for Aoki, now 5.
Kimora Lee, 33, filed for divorce in March after nine years of marriage. She’s asking for primary custody of the girls and that Russell, 50, be granted “reasonable child visitation … accompanied at all times by the children’s nanny and security personnel.” READ MORE
Russell recently answered questions about the child support ruling and intentions of his former wife saying:
“My kids live a tremendous life,” he said. “They do have lots of security, nannies, educators, special programs, travel, chefs, on and on. Their mother manages all of those luxuries and I’m happy to provide for that…I want to say Kimora is a excellent mother and is doing a great job with them”
MANDELA BOOTED NAOMI FROM CONCERT…AMY WHINEHOUSE WAS IN
Photo: WireimageLooks like Naomi Campbell’s appearance to Nelson Mandela’s birthday dinner this week didn’t impress him over her outside actions. After learning about Naomi’s current legal situation, Mandela axed her from attending his birthday concert that took place yesterday:
Mandela was upset because Campbell was arrested for assaulting two police officers while wearing a baseball cap with the 46664 logo, the Mail reported.
Mandela felt the arrest was at odds with his charity’s goals, the paper said. He and the supermodel had been friendly, and she has referred to Mandela as her “honorary grandfather.”
Things cooled when Campbell, 38, was sentenced last week to 200 hours of community service for assaulting the officers in April during a kicking, screaming and cursing fit at Heathrow Airport. READ MORE
Though Campbell got the boot, Mandela was happy to see Amy Whinehouse headline the concert. The troubled singer who has undergone numerous medical tests after fainting at her home in London earlier this month, appeared fine while performing on stage in front of 50,000 fans.

In reference to Mandela-its ‘his’ party so I guess his decision was valid. Amy Winehouse is a recording artist so I guess she had more to offer as far as ‘entertainment purposes’ than Naomi did anyway.
Kimora & Russ-I’m not surprised at the amount of the child support order. This is something that was probably already established between the 2 of them during their seperation,its just on paper officially now. They are business savy people & I’m sure they conducted this divorce in a mature manner. They both have moved on & its best that they finally put the marriage to rest. I watch her show on the Style channel & she does have a lot of security & extra cirricular activities for her girls. 1 thing I give Kimora is that she LOVES those girls & take care of them well. Over $400,000 in child support is nothing to him….for some of us that’s a couple of yrs salary lol. I think russel not speaking against her in the press is very mature of him whether he’s getting along w/her or not.
Paris-sad situation. She is young but can overcome the statistic if she raises her child right. Break the cycle girl!
LOVE JONES…RIGHT on point. thats exactly what i said about kimora and digimon (?) out with the kids.. just them. and she has the CHEEK, the F***ING CHEEK. to demand that he has 2 b supervised with his kids, like the man is some crack head or sumthin. lmao at “u have no booty”
Russell and Kimora were both adults when they married regardless of age. I know numerous young women who are dating older men and become highly upset if you challenge their age, committment, know how or if they are after money. They will fight to the death that it is love.
The children deserve the lifestyle that they are a custom to more than Kimora or Russell. Having a legal background, I am sure that there is more to that story which is not our business. But, Kimoras demands are to much, and MAD sisters who have been hurt want all men to hurt.
First let me start by saying that by placing the article concerning the pregnancy of the “19″ year old Pairs Bennett, the former American Idol Contestant, we are praising teen or irresponsible pregnancy! She is 19, an age at which in these days, with all the opportunities to advance that are available, you shouldn’t be worried about having a baby. To me this is just as bad as the 17 girls in Mass. that made a pact to get pregnant and of course Jamie Spears 16 year old ass having a baby. Babies are not an accessory! They are human lives that do not ask to be brought here and if they are you should be mentally, spiritually and financially ready to take care of them. This especially not good for young African-American girls to see, that are starved for affection, nurturing and love, because then this will give them validation to have a baby they are not ready for.
one freakin word for naomi!!! MOLLYWHOP!
I think that Russell is a loving father when it comes to his little girls and he probably would rather the girls continue with the lavish and priviledged life that he and Kimora has built for them then to go through a long drawn out battle that would rip the carpet from under their feet….Kudos Russell!
As far as Kimora…could be true that she was in it for the money, but it was actually Russell who pursued her…hard! She was extremely young and off rip he began spoiling her with lavish gifts and spoiling her. Which is why if you notice.. she (still) acts ” spoiled” and sometimes throw more temper tantrums than the girls when she doesnt get her way…LOL, Dijimon aint having it!
As for Naomi I am not defending her, she has an effed up, bullying type of attitude…ol’ bipolar heffa, Id like to see her hire a sista and then throw a phone at her or hit her….I bet ya every last track will be snatched out of her head!! Im sick of her in the news all the time for nonsense just like I was sick of Foxy Brown…ugh
What the hell… her mom says she’s “proud of how she did it”?
Why, cuz she’s over 18? That makes it even worse! Because there is no reason for any good and grown ass woman, with all of the conveniences of contraception, to have an accidental or unexpected pregnancy. And 19 is hardly old enough, although legally she’s an adult, is she mentally and emotionally mature enough for something like this? I see this happening all the time with you Black girls…
@ # 53. Ladyssolady
Cosign 100%.
I am 23 and all of my friends are on baby 2 and 3. None of the fathers take care of them and they all barely have a high school education. It seems to me people are having babies just because, I know someone who decided she wanted to be pregnant because all her friends have kids or are pregnantm, and they want them to grow up together. She is 22 but acts like she is still 16 she is the last person to be trying to have a baby she was homeless and un-employed before she got pregnant and is still in that situation now.
I wish Paris the best but this is nothing to be proud of.
Nothing new, it happens everyday..It’s a “big deal” b/c she is in the lime-light.. I wish her the best of luck, and I’ll see where the career goes from here.
Sorry but I think marriage at such a young age is stupid…. with child or without. You haven’t lived yet so sticking yourself in such a situation is… well… childish. I’d rather wish the child luck because she’s gonna need it. If things don’t work out, she’s going to suffer the most. Let this be a lesson to all you dumb or ignorant chicks. YOUR BODY… YOUR RESPONSIBILITY! Its called PLAN B (the pill that is NOW over the counter… I think lol but if the law changed, you can get it at a health clinic) and WRAP IT UP! Having a child at a young age is NOT cool nor cute and CAN be prevented w/ the proper education.
Well havin a baby is a blessing, no matter how young or old you are….for the younger folks (maybe a blessing in disguise) but if you old enough to open your legs you old enough to accept the consequences….but i guess in this case its not a consequence cuz the family seems happy about it. What i dont get is when her mom says “im proud of how she did it” DID WHAT…ok, i didnt go thru and read all the comments and im sure somebody has prolly said the same thing but WTH….what did she do….she aint married…what, because she got a ring its the right thing to do. so all we need to do is at least be with somebody to have a baby….i guess…..but congrats to paris anyways….if she like it i love it
About Kimora and Russell…I don’t see anything wrong with it. That kind of money is not much to him, don’t forget how much he’s worth. If he’s never with security while he’s out then hell yes you are getting security and a nanny to help you out while you’re out with my kids (If I was a celebrity of course lol). If you’ve watched her show, she’s very overprotective of those two girls so it doesn’t surprise me. A judge wouldn’t agree to that unless it was reasonable for the two of them.
kimora is trife
