Bad Boy recording artist Cassie claims Gmail was partially responsible for her nude photos getting into the wrong hands. In a recent interview with radio personality JoJo Wright, the … “singer” denied leaking the images herself, saying that they were from an old e-mail from a year ago and that she doesn’t even have the pictures anymore.

R&B singer Maxwell is back on the scene, but not without worries. It’s been almost 8 years since he released his last album, Now, which reached #1 in both the U.S. and the U.K, and when the time came to put out new music, he knew his absence to the scene for nearly a decade would be a gamble. And it definitely had folks talking and making their own speculations. But the 36-year-old Brooklyn native says he didn’t really pay attention to those crazy rumors:

“I don’t really put power into that. It’s just what people do and there’s no way I can control that. I can’t stand up at every moment and say ‘this true and this is not.’ There aren’t that many hours in the day to do that.”

Just two weeks after suffering the tragic loss of his 4-year-old daughter Exodus, retired boxer Mike Tyson married his longtime girlfriend Lakiha Spicer in a private ceremony at La Bella Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas. Tyson and Spicer signed the marriage license on June 6th, just 30 minutes before they exchanged their vows in the low-key wedding, which Shawn Absher, owner of the wedding chapel, said was in keeping with a special request from Tyson himself.

“They were very heartwarming, and I think they really do love each other,” Absher said. “He seemed happy -and his life’s been up and down. They just wanted to say the vows and be married … it was very sincere.”

This is Tyson’s third marriage. He was previously married to actress Robin Givens (1988) and Monica Turner (1997), of whom he has two children with.
