Last December NBA star KOBE BRYANT and ex-wife VANESSA BRYANT  filed for divorce after 10 years of marriage.

Since then Vanessa has been all smiles– it could be  the thought of getting paid in an favorable settlement, or because she and BRYANT may be on the verge of reconciling!

Since KOBE’s Dallas vs Lakers injury, KOBE has been spending quality time with the fam, and the BRYANTS were spotted having a good time while checking out a L.A. Kings hockey game with daughters NATALIA and GIANNA.

You would think that Valentine’s day kiss may have rekindled a fire and been the start of something great, but TMZ reports that VANESSA is attempting to remain “really good friends” until the divorce is finalized in June.

We know that divorce can make the pockets fatter, but do you think it can also make the heart grow fonder?

Ever since people got wind of Love & Hip Hop‘s YANDY SMITH being pregnant she has been criticized for making appearances at nightclubs  sporting a baby bump.

In an interview with The Jasmine Brand, SMITH sets the record straight about why as an expecting mother she’s not worried about what people may think.

“People can say what they want but I’m thinking of my child’s future. If financial security is something that you can give to your family, it makes you feel great. I feel good that I’m able to put aside a college fund before my child is here, in one month. People can blog and say what they want but my child is good,” the says the former manager of JIM JONES.

She continued, “I don’t want people to think that money is more important than my child’s health, but I made all my doctor appointments, and made sure it was healthy to continue working.I’m fine with it, my man is fine with it, and I’m protected by security, so I’m not going to turn down a 12-15 thousand dollar weekend just because people have something to say. I spoke to my doctor about traveling and he told me it was not a problem”

When questioned about who exactly is her child’s father SMITH reveals, “We have been together for about 6 years, we met in 2006. Its been off and on [...] We’ve broken up about 2 or 3 times. Every time we break up, we’re both seeing other people. I was almost engaged to someone else, he wound up having another child with someone else. Then we realized that we almost lost each other. So he rushed back and we’ve been unbreakable ever since… Its been amazing. We realized that this is where we want to be and we love each other.”

Do you think agree with Yandy making appearances in the club?

If there is one footballer who loves procreating it is the New York Jet’s cornerback ANTONIO CROMARTIE.

Within a short 7 years, the 28-year-old NFL player has managed to father 10 children by 8 different women throughout the nation including: California, Texas, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and New Jersey.

Last March the Jet’s had to pay CROMARTIE a $500k advance on his $32 million dollar four-year contract just so he could take care of outstanding child support.

To add to all the excitement in his life, as if all of the kids aren’t enough, CROMARTIE’s ex-girlfriends and baby mamas are trying to get their own television show based on their “situation.”

RYAN ROSS, mother of CROMARTIE’s fifth son told the New York Post that the ex-girlfriends have a “close tight-knit friendship’ where they understand exactly what each is going through and supports the show stating ”Our kids need to know who their siblings are. It’s bigger than our past with Antonio. It’s about our children.”

For the moment, CROMARTIE who now is married to the wife of his two youngest children, isn’t on fond of the idea of his family being publicized on reality television and has blocked interested parties in filming his family.

…but who knows a couple checks cut by Bravo or VH1 may change his mind!

GABOUREY SIDIBE appeared on Live With Kelly last week to discuss her newest role on Showtime’s The Big C.

SIDIBE made her entrance breaking out a impromptu running man, and flirting with Jersey Shore’s DJ PAULY D.

“I’m a grenade that’s DTF,” SIDIBE joked when she first sat down. She touched on playing a character who is so pro-African, considering she’s Senegalese herself, and whether she rather wear an afro or a weave.

Check out the video above.

Not to long ago NICKI MINAJ participated in a very compelling Nightline interview, in which she spoke on her upbringing and family life, and accused her father OMAR of being a drug addict/abuser/wife beater.

MINAJ revealed that she wanted to kill her father, because her Daddy often threatened to kill her mother, and at one time burned down their house.

Now according to TMZ, her father fires back, and says that his daughter may be sensationalizing the stories just a bit.

Omar admits he had anger issues when she was a child, but denies it ever reached the point NICKI described in her interview.

Sources say OMAR loves his daughter very much, and is hurt that she decided to go and exaggerate his behavior in the media.

Who do you believe?
