One of the best to ever play the game has to decided to call it quits. After 13 seasons, Randy Moss is retiring. Despite being known around the league as having a terrible attitude and a tumor on any team we was a part of, Randy Moss still put up spectacular numbers that could not be ignored.

Perry Helped Keep Civil Rights Era Peaceful

0

From The State:

Nobody can remember seeing Matthew Perry angry. Determined? Always. Fearless? No question. Forceful and firm? Without a doubt. Kind, compassionate and respectful? Without fail. But never angry. Never bitter. Perry's remarkable temperament - and unmatched legal skills - were essential to the relatively peaceful progress of civil rights in South Carolina during the turbulent 1960s and beyond. While the state endured pain and tragedy in those days, South Carolina advanced with "far less turmoil than her neighbors," Chief U.S. District Judge Joseph F. Anderson Jr. wrote in a 2004 tribute to Perry.

From indieWire:

The last time this project and its cast were discussed here was back in November of last year at the old site; when Tambay reported Faith Evans would portray singer Florence Ballard in her big screen biopic. At the time, Taraji P. Henson was also rumored to have been offered the role of Diana Ross. Well now, it looks like both Evans and Henson are out of the picture.

The Smith Family

Will Smith and Jada Pinkeet-Smith recently opened their 25,000 sq ft home to the readers of Architectural Digest in their upcoming September issue.

Sporting a meditation room, a lake, tennis courts and a circular design, the Smiths spared no expense to make their 9 bedroom Calabasas home a perfect fit for their family's needs.

"Everything needed to be done by hand," Will says. "We wanted to feel the love and labor that went into every piece of this place."

Jada agreed adding, "We're very earthy, organic people. We wanted to create a family retreat, something made by hand and as natural as possible, something that ties back to the land."

'Tia & Tamera': The Wedding

This is the episode with the wedding and what a disappointment. Tia and Tamera are no Kardashians. Why do I say that? The wedding portion of the show is narrated with stills pictures and no video. Wait a minute. This is a reality show and the dream of every reality show producer is to have a wedding episode or a major fight episode. This show stops the cameras when the wedding begins. What a rip-off. All Tamera does during the planning is complain about how much the wedding cost and how little Tia is there to help, emotionally. Get a clue, you should have had the wedding sponsored and made a million dollars.

'Basketball Wives': The Reunion Show

In this part two of the Reunion Show, Tami really goes off on Meeka. It's Brooklyn on Brooklyn (or maybe Queens) accents. Tami has strong feelings against everything Meeka. Tami turns her vicious tongue against Meeka's husband. Tami says he should give her ten percent since she made him famous. It gets ugly. This is the best of reality TV, no fisticuffs just terse talk and hurt feelings.

Access Hollywood': Splitsville for Will and Jada?

Apparently the rumor spread like a California wildfire, burning up the internet. It was reported that Will and Jada Smith have called it quits after decades of love. Shawn Robinson has the inside scoop from sources close to the family that the rumors are untrue. It rumors gained unsubstantiated credibility, which forced Will and Jada to finally release an official statement. Maybe the rumors were started because of the hot and steamy on set scenes between the recently separated Mark Anthony, and Jada Pinkett-Smith.

'Access Hollywood': Queen Latifah on DWTS

Access Hollywood found Queen Latifah on the set promoting one of her many ventures. She was asked if the internet rumors about her joining the cast of "Dancing With The Stars" were true. She said absolutely not! No disrespect to the show but apparently the Queen is far too busy to take that much time out to compete on a reality show. The Queen is about to showcase her new line of clothes on The Home Shopping Network. I guess after hearing how Jessica Simpson is nearly a billionaire, everyone is stepping into the clothes game.
