Divorce has its price - and no celeb, it appears, knows that better than Michael Jordan. The basketball superstar’s split last December from his wife of 17 years, Juanita, is No. 1 on Forbes.com’s list of “The 10 Most Expensive Celebrity Divorces.” Juanita Jordan could possibly “get more than $150 million in a settlement, making the Jordan divorce the most expensive in entertainment history,” Forbes said. Neil Diamond, whose 1995 divorce from Marcia Murphey cost him an estimated $150 million, holds second place. Steven Spielberg comes in third for paying his ex-wife Amy Irving an estimated $100 million, which was then half his fortune, when they divorced in 1989. The Oscar-winning director is now worth $3 billion.

Also making the list are estimated settlements between Harrison Ford and Melissa Mathison ($85 million); Kevin Costner and Cindy Silva ($80 million); Paul McCartney and Heather Mills, whose divorce could cost him more than $60 million; James Cameron and Linda Hamilton ($50 million); Michael and Diandra Douglas ($45 million and two homes); Lionel and Diane Richie ($20 million); and Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall ($15 to $25 million). Forbes said they researched divorces of the last 25 years in compiling the list, which was posted Thursday on its Web site.

Dayummmmmmm! $150 million?? Am I reading that right? Mrs. Jordan Juanita is gettin PAID! Oh, by the way Juanita, if you’re reading this … you’re welcome! You see, I’m a really huge Michael Jordan fan (hence my AOL screenname - jmpmntwnty3 - Jump Man 23), and with my collection of Jordans (well over 50 pairs @ about $150 each), and my collection of retro Jerseys sitting in my closet right this very second, I’m 100% positive that I contributed AT LEAST 0.0000000000000000000000000000001% of that $150 million. No, really, I did the math … but you can thank me later ;-)

 

The Style Network has announced a new reality show that will follow the life of Kimora Lee Simmons, wife of mogul Russell Simmons and head of the Baby Phat fashion line, a sister company to Phat Farm.

“Kimora Lee Simmons is simply a fascinating woman,” said Salaam Coleman Smith, Executive Vice President, The Style Network, in a statement. “She is refreshingly blunt, absolutely honest and outrageously entertaining. This series is going to open a lot of women’s eyes to the possibilities life has to offer, and all of us at Style are happy to be working with such an inspirational woman.”

The series will give viewers an inside look at Kimora’s personal life, as she takes care of her two daughters, while also showing viewers what happens behind the scenes at Baby Phat. The show, tentatively titled Kimora, will debut this summer on the Style Network.

I don’t know about y’all, but I know I’ll definitely be watching this. In my opinion, Kimora Lee Simmons is one of the sexiest Asians I’ve ever seen! Real talk! And you have to admit, that Simmons family stay on their grind.

I’m sorry I had to, I just reminded myself, to post this shit again. I forgot how hot this single was hearing it the umpteenth time, lol, only this version of Eve’s “Tambourine,” produced by Swizz Beatz, is a radio rip you can hear below. I can definitely dance to this in the club, the beat is crazy, like Swizz said, “This is a motherf’ing hit man!” I guess its his year as well cause he ain’t never lie. “Tambourine” (produced by Swizz Beatz) is the first single from Eve’s forthcoming studio album, entitled “Here I Am,” also dropin later this year.

Kelly Clarkson » “Never Again” » Download » (Full) » Like I said before, hardcore rock madness, I love this new Clarkson track! “Never Again” will be the first single from Kelly Clarkson’s new album, My December, due out later this year. The video for the single was shot on the 10th so it should be out pretty soon! But like I said– hits, hits, hits! I always say, “if it ain’t broke, DON’T fix it.” If this is what could be looked forward to, from the album, then the shit’s going to sell. So keep bringing that grungy-bleeding-hardcore realness, with a touch of your own personality, Kelly.

T.I. » “Do It (Big Shit Poppin’)” » Download » (Full) » When I first heard this song I could automatically relate, I love songs that make statements and that I can relate too so well! “Do It (Big Shit Poppin’)” is from T.I.’s upcoming project, T.I. vs T.I.P, due out Summer; produced by Mr. Mannie Fresh.

Big shit poppin’ and lil’ shit stopin…”

I love this show! Short Circuitz is a sketch comedy show my guilty pleasure, producer Nick Cannon, started not to long ago on MTV, where a troupe of actors perform a series of brief topical sketches, impersonations and parodies. In this episode, Affion Crockett (Ludacris),is challenged to a freestyle– funny shit. We all know how animated his crazy ass can get, check it out!

Hey, I was wondering what happen to this song, I didn’t see it on Ciara: the Evolution cd, after hearing a snippet from MTV News a while back– well it’s here, “Do It (Real Good),” produced and featured by Will.i.am. It’s a nice track, suppose to be a sample from Salt-N-Pepa’s “Push It.” Of course C C puts it down on this joint and Will.i.am is a frickin genius! If you guys don’t have the cd, Ciara: the Evolution, please go out and support.

T-PAIN - “BUY YOU A DRANK” » I already heard the single and saw the video, great summer joint, I purposely posted this video late because at first I didn’t really like the song and wasn’t into the whole snappin thing but I must say it really has growed on me surprisingly. I really don’t like the video that much but in an effort to give T-Pain some promotion I’ll post it.

» Mario … Ready, Set, Go!!!
OMG FINALLY DAMN! Mario’s third album, Go, will finally drop on the 17th of July, according to his label, after being pushed back more than one too many times. The first single, which was chosen by Mario’s fans, is going to be “How Do I Breathe,” produced by Stargate. I guess the second single will be “Crying Out For Me,” produced by Polow Da Don, which is one of my personal favorites! Guest appearences for this album will include songs by Akon, Ne-Yo and Pharrell with production by Bryan Michael Cox, Krucial Keys, the Neptunes and many more! I’ll do a BFF for these two singles soon but for now you can go to Mario’s MYSPACE to hear them both in its entirety.

» New Kelly Clarkson Single - “Never Again”
It was confirmed that Kelly Clarkson’s first single will be “Never Again,” from her third studio album My December. The video for “Never Again” was shot April 10th in Los Angeles and it also appears that a remix of the single was leaked a day before! But getting back to the new single, hardcore rock sickness! I have always loved Kelly Clarkson ever since she was on American Idol– in fact I think she is the first and only AI winner to have this much longevity throughout their career. I wish her much success if not more on this project, her last album was pure fire– hits, hits, and more hits! Can’t wait for the video, Clarkson never disappoints. Below you can listen to the radio rip of “Never Again.”

Anna Nicole Smith’s former lover Larry Birkhead insists he won’t share his baby daughter Dannielynn with anyone. Photographer Birkhead was confirmed as the seven-month-old baby’s father on Tuesday, after a lengthy paternity battle with Smith’s longtime companion, Howard K. Stern, who is listed on Dannielynn’s birth certificate. The tragic model’s mother Virgie Arthur has claimed she “just wants to be a grandmother” - while Stern has said he will “make sure he (Birkhead) gets sole custody.” And Birkhead is hoping it stays that way.

He says, “We might go from one fight to another, but I’m hoping that’s not the case. There’s only one dad and I have no problem with anyone that has good intentions being allowed to visit the baby and see the baby and be a part of the baby’s life.” But he stresses he will not share custody as “it would imply that I’m unfit as a parent, which I’m not.”

Riiight! You keep telling yourself that. If you say it enough it might just come true! Or maybe it wont…
