The Fulton County Medical Examiner has released documents confirming that AJ Jewell’s death has officially been ruled a homicide. AJ was a regular on the hit BRAVO reality series The Real Housewives of Atlanta. He was engaged to one of the Housewives (Kandi Burruss) throughout the taping of the show. The two broke up over the summer shortly before AJ died following a fight at a club in Atlanta in October.
TMZ reports: The cause of death is listed as, “Physical altercation resulting in sickle cell trait related exertional collapse.” Contributing factors are listed as, “intestinal myocardial fidrosis,” as well as an enlarged heart.
Translation — the fight triggered a flare up with Jewell’s sickle cell disease.
Frederick Richardson, the other guy involved in the fight has been arrested, charged with voluntary manslaughter and is currently behind bars.
Anderson’s attorney told TMZ: “It’s an unfortunate situation, Frederick is sorry this situation happened and that A.J. died.”
Championship wrestler Hulk Hogan agreed to look like he got battered and bloodied up by wrestling legend Ric Flair in an effort to promote their upcoming event “Hulkamania – Let The Battle Begin.” At a press conference in Sydney, Australia, Hulk and Ric were arguing and trading insults about their failed love lives when Flair started punching Hogan in the face over and over causing blood to pour from his head.
But don’t get too alarmed because it’s all FAKE! Yes the blood is real and Ric Flair is really hitting Hulk but after doing a little research we found out that this type of stunt is called “blading” and it’s very common in the world of professional wrestling, which we all know is a highly staged sport. The process of blading is fairly easy. Basically, a small concealable razor is hidden in the attacker’s hand causing the attackee to receive a cut big enough for blood to pour out.
The pictures actually make it look really bad but if you take a look at the video, you’ll see that the whole thing was an act. If it were real, security would have bum rushed the stage when the first lick was handed out. Continue reading for more pics and to check out the video!

Actress Halle Berry posed for a few pictures as she arrived on the red carpet of her “An Evening of Awareness” charity benefit Monday (Nov 16) at the Crosby Street Hotel in New York City. Berry hosted the event, which was held to raise awareness for the Jenesse Center, a domestic violence intervention program, and a 24/7 teen suicide crisis prevention hotline called the “Trevor Project.”
In related news, the 43-year-old actress told OK! Magazine that she doesn’t have any plans to go under the knife … ever! She says she goes through a strict daily beauty regime just so that she won’t have to resort to plastic surgery.
“I’m not one of those people who opts for plastic surgery, so my philosophy is to take care of what you have. I’m really serious about my skincare regimen at night. I never ever go to bed – or even nap – with make-up on.”
British singer Alexandra Burke took the stage Tuesday night (Nov 17) at the Union Chapel in London, England to perform for Mencap’s Little Sound Sessions before fielding questions from the press.
The 21-year-old X Factor champ revealed that she won’t be waiting 3 years to tour like her predecessor Leona Lewis, who just here recently announced that she’ll be going on tour in the spring. Alex says she won’t be waiting that long, and she and her management are already working on something!
“I definitely won’t take as long as Leona. There’s something in the pipeline already for sure. My management were very happy with my performance tonight. They were like ‘you know what, you just proved something to us.’ Performing is what I’m about and doing it for such a special cause in my hometown is inspiring.”
Burke also said she enjoys working with people she feels comfortable with.
“My two backing vocalists are good friends of mine from back in the old days. I’ve known Shaun and Dave since I was 17. It’s important to work with people you can blend with and I feel more comfort-able with them on stage, so keeping my family close to me will be major.”

In support of her latest single from her Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel album, Columbia recording artist Mariah Carey released her new “I Want to Know What Love Is” music video earlier this week.
The Hype Williams directed clip shows Carey performing the ballad to an overflowing stadium of people. The video also features the True Worship Church Choir singing the background vocals in an image behind Mariah, who looks like she took a trip to the past back to the year 1990 (check out her hair).
The song is great and the video is okay but our main beef is how cheap the green screen effects look. This is Mariah Carey we’re talking about. Couldn’t she have recorded this video at a REAL stadium???

Janet Jackson:No, I know the rumor that you’re talking about, and we’re not together. We never got back together. He’s still one of my best friends though, so people will see us together and in doing so, [people say] ‘Oh they’re together.’ But no, we’re not. I love that man.
WPGC: Aww…
Janet:I adore him, I really do. And he’s such a sweetheart. but no … we’re not together.
