Also, the comedian is said to be training her 6-year-old son Jeffery on how to walk her down the aisle. [People]
- Kimberly Elise is branching out to do other sorts of films.

- Phadera Parks’ husband, Apollo, was “mistakenly” handcuffed during an investigation. He was pulled over and detained until investigators realized they had the wrong guy! Sounds suspect! [YBF]
- Rihanna has tapped Britney Spears for an “S&M” remix. This should make for an exciting and more than likely X-rated song. In other Spears news, she has asked Nicki Minaj to join her on tour. [TGJ] [Bossip]
- Nicole Richie is clearing up pregnancy rumors. “Contrary to recent speculation. I am not pregnant. This irresponsible reporting continues to feed an atmosphere of self-doubt and insecurity. To publicly point out a change in anyone’s body is mean-spirited and cruel,” says Richie. Ouch! [People]
