HOT ITEM: JUANITA BYNUM INVOLVED IN DOMESTIC DISPUTE »

Televangelist Juanita Bynum was reportedly beaten by her Bishop husband following a dispute in an Atlanta hotel restaurant. Bishop Thomas W. Weeks is charged with one count of aggravated assault and one count of terrorist threats against Bynum, according to police spokesman Ronald Campbell. She was apparently attempting to reconcile with her estranged husband at a restaurant in the Renaissance Concourse Hotel last Wednesday when he attacked her in the hotel parking lot.

“She was pretty upset about the incident,” Campbell said. “At this point, she is at an undisclosed location trying to stay away from him. He began to choke her, he pushed her down and started kicking on her and stomping her,” Campbell said. “The bellman of the hotel actually witnessed the incident and pulled Mr. Weeks off of her.”

Wow! . . . We didn’t get to post this last week, so if you’re just now hearing about it, TMZ posted on the 24th that he had TURNED HIMSELF IN. We’ll keep you updated!

ALL 5 PEOPLE WHO HAVEN’T SEEN THE “R KELLY” TAPE WILL FINALLY BE ABLE TO »

R KELLY AT “TRAPPED IN THE CLOSET” PREMIERE // PHOTO BY BRIAN ACH FOR WIREIMAGE

With R. Kelly’s child pornography trial less than a month away, prosecutors are saying the veins in his hands will prove that Kelly is indeed the man featured having sex with an under-aged girl in the now infamous videotape. During a pre-trial motion last week prosecutors said they hope to bring in an expert witness who has examined the vein patterns of the man’s hand in the videotape, which they believe is consistent with Kelly’s hand. Defense attorneys scoffed at the tactic, calling it bad science and not as conclusive as using fingerprints. Judge Vincent Gaughan temporarily put off a ruling on the prosecution’s motion to bring in this witness.

The judge also ruled that both the jury and media will be allowed to view the entire 26-minute video that allegedly shows Kelly, among other things, urinating on an under-aged girl. Lawyers for the prosecution apparently asked the judge to reconsider the decision, alleging that it may re-victimize the girl in the video. But judge Gaughan upheld his decision, saying the young woman that prosecutors say is featured on the tape has denied it is her.

POLOW DA DON ON HIS INFATUATION FOR WHITE GIRLS »

“Just the ‘King of the White Girls.’ I ain’t self proclaimed but I run with it. [Laughs] There was a stage in my life where I went crazy with dating white women. I have nothing against black women, but they’re raised differently. White women are raised to respect and serve their men. Black women are taught to question [their men]. Black women look at submission as being weak. White women look at submission as being a woman. And anyone who has a problem with this statement is ignorant. Just look at the divine order: it goes God, man, woman, child.”

THE GUYS FROM MTV’S MAKING THE BAND 4 POSE FOR SEAN JOHN // PHOTOS COURTESY OF MTV.COM

BRIAN A. » MIKE » WILLIE » ROBERT » QWANELL

As you probably already know by now (especially if you checked out our live coverage last night) Diddy finally picked the band! He upped the number from 4 to 5, and selected the 5 guys above. Donnie’s missing from the group, but he will still be a part of the Bad Boy family as a solo artist. I can’t wait to see these guys take over the industry. With the right promotion, backing, and support from fans, these 5 guys will succeed. There’s no doubt in my mind.

Now, you know our boy Jeff was at MTV studios with the guys last night and one of T2W’s official photographers grabbed a ton of EXCLUSIVE photos for us. You won’t find these ANYWHERE else online! Check them out below and after the cut. And if that wasn’t enough, Jeff is planning on having an exclusive sit-down interview with Diddy and the guys this weekend. Be on the look-out for it!
