MINORITY REPORT: LEVI IS BACK OUT THERE

Just days after announcing his engagement was off with Bristol Palin, Levi is right back out there...SMH.



TMZ.com reports Johnston signed a reality TV deal over the weekend, just days after Bristol Palin said she broke off their engagement over his thirst for the limelight.

The new show will shoot first in Los Angeles and then head back to Alaska, TMZ reported. It's not yet clear what the format will be, but several networks are reportedly interested.

The on-again off-again high school sweethearts shocked family and friends last month with an US Magazine cover announcing their engagement after a long period of estrangement.

The rekindled romance was short-lived, falling apart shortly after the National Enquirer reported that Johnston's ex-girlfriend, Lanesia Garcia, was pregnant.

Lanesia claims that Levi is not the father, but Bristol told People.com that Johnston had "no remorse" after he admitted the dalliance and possible pregnancy the very same day they announced their secret wedding plans with splashy photos featuring their 20-month-old son, Tripp.

"The final straw was him flying to Hollywood for what he told me was to see some hunting show but come to find out it was that music video mocking my family," Bristol told People.com in a tearful interview. "He's just obsessed with the limelight, and I got played."

Levi, meanwhile, attended the Teen Choice Awards in Los Angeles Sunday with Brittani Senser, the singer behind the video in which he'll co-star.

The video, reportedly shooting this week, is about two lovers driven apart by the woman's meddling mother.

"The ring's off, but we're friends," Johnston told People.com at the event, referring to Bristol.

"You know, it's tough," he said of the break-up. "It's not something that I wanted, but life goes on."

GV Says: Wow...this is horrible.

LEBRON'S GIRL NOT TOO HIP ON MIAMI

This picture is interesting. So what does she do for a living?



"Personally, Miami was not my favorite place. Vacationing there is great. You go for three days and get some sun and it's time to go home," his longtime girlfriend, Savannah Brinson, tells the September issue of Harper's Bazaar, on newsstands Aug. 17.

"It will definitely be an adjustment, but we'll make it," she adds. "We're not complaining. Whatever LeBron felt was comfortable, I'm with him. I just love him so much."

GV Says: SMH....

FANTASIA DENIES BREAKING UP MARRIAGE

I love the wording of this statement. Funny thing is she can't deny dating this married which REALLY is the bottom line.



"Fantasia is certain that she is not responsible for the deterioration of [their] marriage," the singer's manager, Brian Dickens, said in a statement Monday.

Court documents filed last week by Paula Cook allege that her husband, Antwaun Cook, and Barrino began a "covert adulterous affair" in August 2009 and that the two made a sex tape.

"Fantasia will weather this storm with the dignity and grace that she has exemplified throughout a life in which she has repeatedly overcome obstacles and challenges," adds her manager.

Fantasia's lawayer also blasted the woman's allegations and said the Idol champ was dragged into the couple's breakup for media attention.

"Mrs. Cook gratuitously included claims about Fantasia to sensationalize that litigation and to insure that her tale would be picked up by tabloids," lawyer Gena Morris tells TMZ.com. "The fact that she would seek such publicity in a case involving her children is particularly disgraceful.”

GV Says: Although I doubt this bitter wife will get a dime at the end of the day, she did accomplish her goal which was to put Fantasia on blast.

JORDAN PLANTS ROOTS

Looks like MJ is planting roots in Charlotte.



When he bought the Bobcats, Jordan promised he'd be spending more time in the Queen city looks like he may have made good on his promise with the purchase of the entire top floor of the newly redone local "Trust" building.

KIMORA YARD SALE A SUCCESS

Kimora Lee Simmons and her ex husband, music mogul Russell Simmons, are putting many of their possessions – including an Andy Warhol piece – up for sale.




Dozens of eager shoppers waited in line outside of the 3.96-acre estate Lee once shared with her ex, music mogul Russell Simmons, for the chance to check out some of the items up for grabs.

"I never expected the turnout to be this great," Lee said in a statement. "Seeing the excitement in people's eyes when they enter my home, find that perfect item or happen upon a vintage steal is priceless."

Some of the priciest pieces included a $200,000 Versace bed, $7,500 dinner plates, $50,000 rugs and $10,000 tables.

Not everything at the cash-only sale was expensive – and there were bargains to be found. "I bought a bread holder for $8," one savvy shopper told reporters. There was also a room full of glasses, cups, martini glasses and mugs, priced from around $10 to $30.

FANTASIA NAMED IN COURT PAPERS

What's done in the dark always comes to light....



So for months Fantasia has denied being booed up with a married man. But now the man's wife, Paula Cook, has accused Fanny of making sex tapes with her husband according to court papers filed in North Carolina last week.

Fanny is named in the lawsuit between Antwaun Cook and his wife, Paula Cook, who is filing for divorce from her husband of nearly five years.

Fanny allegedly met her new beau when he was working at T-Mobile in Stonecrest and began a "covert adulterous affair."

Paula Cook claims her husband and Barrino have also taped their sexual encounters and that the singer once told her, "He don't want you...maybe next time that you get a husband you'll know how to keep him....That's why he is here with me."

GV Says: Not a good look Fanny.

MONTANA HOOKER FISHBURNE STILL TALKING

This chick has gone from the underground gossip mags to mainstream People mag...



Laurence Fishburne's daughter is speaking out about her controversial decision to enter the entertainment industry by becoming a porn star.

"Being in an adult film is not a big deal to me," Montana Fishburne, 18, tells PEOPLE. "It's something I always wanted to do. I have always been comfortable in my body and with my sexuality."

And no, she's not hoping her adult film, which will be released by Vivid Entertainment on Aug. 10, will spawn a mainstream acting career. "I am not in porn to get into acting. I am in porn because I wanted to be in porn," she says bluntly.

The daughter of the CSI star, an Academy Award nominated actor, said she didn't seek her parents' approval before signing on for the film.

"I had already filmed it by the time they knew so I didn't give them a chance to talk me out of it," says Montana, who moved out of her father's house last year upon turning 18, "so I could pursue what I want to do without being constrained by them."

Her father is understandably devastated, she confesses.

"I hear through relatives that he's upset but I haven't talked to him directly for him to tell me his feelings," she admits, saying that when she did break the news, he reacted with stunned silence.

"I hope it's not hurting him. It wasn't done to hurt him," she says. "But I think it will take time and talking through the issues. Eventually, I hope he will be proud of me."

Laurence Fishburne has yet to comment.

GV Says: This is absolutely disgusting. It is beyond disturbing that someone would tear down their reputation, soul and family for fame aka smoking mirrors.

MATT & GLORIA CANCEL THEIR WEDDING

So Matt Barnes and Gloria have canceled their wedding...yep...that's what's up!



So you may remember Gloria Govan was on the show 'Basketball Wives' toting the perfect relationship. The two were preparing for a wedding on August 12. Then....

supposedly....many of the guests received the news of cancellation via text message. When they replied and asked what happened the only response was, "Please respect my privacy."

GV Says: I don't wish bad on anyone but THAT'S WHAT'S UP when you tote yourself as perfection.

WHOOPI LETS WHITE HOUSE GATECRASHERS HAVE IT

Oh no she didn't....so this week the DC housewives hit the View and the View hosts kept it real with White House gatecrashers Tareq and Michaele Salahi.

Michaele and other cast members were on "The View" - to promote tonight's launch of Bravo's "The Real Housewives of D.C." Neither Goldberg nor Tareq Salahi were part of the interview.

As Michaele recounted a drink-throwing dispute between Tareq and one of the wives, Goldberg walked on stage, touched her shoulder, and said, "Excuse me, can you get back to the White House, please."

Tareq Salahi, upset that Goldberg touched his wife, had an "elevated and heated" exchange after the live telecast.

"Oh, if you'd like us to, we can," Michaele replied as Goldberg walked away. After the show, a sobbing Michaele fled to a security office, saying she felt attacked. The Salahis claimed Goldberg got physical with Michaele; Goldberg confronted her and the F-bombs flew.

"As the broadcast clearly shows, the accusation was completely unfounded," a "View" spokeswoman said. "After being told she was being accused of hitting Ms. Salahi, Whoopi proceeded to defend herself verbally."

GV Says: They've got the wrong one baby...

MARY J BLIGE BREAKS RECORDS

Go MJB! She broke Home Shopping Network records recently.

According to a press release from HSN, the singer’s new fragrance, My Life, broke records on July 31 by selling more than 60,000 units during about six hours of air time on the shopping channel.

Part of the proceeds went to benefit Blige’s charity, The Mary J. Blige and Steve Stoute Foundation for the Advancement of Women Now, Inc. (FFAWN).

“I am thrilled with the success of My Life, the experience on HSN with Carol's Daughter and the overwhelming donations to FFAWN," the press release quoted the nine-time Grammy Award winner as saying. "I can't wait to share another touch of my heart. Thank you to all my fans – new and old – for being there for me."

Blige also took to Twitter to thank supporters. "Fam!! We did it!!! We broke records with the My Life fragrance on HSN!!! and made history once again!!! 50K sold!!!" she tweeted before the final tally of units sold was counted.

According to StyleList, the previous record holder was Blige’s former musical mentor, Sean "Diddy" Combs, who sold his Sean John fragrances for men and women on HSN back in December. The site said Blige outsold Combs in both sales and revenue, grossing an estimated $2.7 million.

My Life is the first celebrity fragrance developed by Carol’s Daughter.

HAPPY B-DAY MR. PRESIDENT

Happy birthday Mr. President



Today, President Obama celebrated his 49th birthday. He fled the empty White House mansion and headed for a more intimate celebration with longtime friends in his Chicago hometown.

We hear he's been living a bachelor's life for the past several days with first lady Michelle Obama and daughter Sasha visiting Spain and daughter Malia spending the month away at an undisclosed camp.

Of course Mrs. Obama and Sasha phoned in their happy birthday wishes, followed by a lunchtime call from Malia.

"Needless to say ... both those calls were the highlights of his day," White House press secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters who traveled with Obama aboard Air Force One.

GV Says: Speaking of Mrs. Obama, she made Vanity Fair's best dressed list.

KANYE'S TWITTER WOES

Hello Twitter...hello problems for Kanye. So after gracing us with his presence on Twitter, Kanye finally picked a person to follow - Steven Holmes. Only thing is, Steven doesn't want to fame.

Initially, Holmes seemed excited by the connection, tweeting , "Holy [expletive] bro thx for following!" But the Brit quickly changed his tune once the full glare of the limelight hit.

Speaking with his local paper, the Coventry Telegraph, The Nottingham University student sounded far from enthused by the global attention he says has led to him turning down interview requests from media outlets around the world.

“I didn’t want to talk to any of them,” Holmes is quoted as saying. “Fame has never appealed to me. It’s vacuous.”

He went on to say that “Before this weekend I thought it would be cool to have a celebrity following me on Twitter but now I think it’s really not worth it.”

Holmes reiterated that stance on his Twitter page when he tweeted “This has been completely surreal and I really have no desire for this attention i'm just a normal person” and later added that he will not be speaking with any other media outlets.

GV Says: Kanye....unfollow this fool.

FOODS I LOVE

In perusing the news I found a man who has admitted what I have kept secret for years....


I love McDonald's fish sandwiches....I want to save my dignity though by saying I hate their burgers.

"I’m sorry, I know it is the height of foodie irresponsibility even to admit to setting foot inside the Evil Death Star that is McDonald’s, but the mega-chain’s Filet-O-Fish sandwiches are perfection on a bun. (The editor-in-chief of Saveur likes McDonald’s? Call the President!) From the crisp wedge of battered, fried fish to the dainty dab of tartar sauce, they are a miracle of food science. I remember that the first thing I wanted to eat upon returning the States after spending ten months in a South Indian village sleeping on a mat and eating a strict vegetarian diet was a Filet-O-Fish sammy. They are that important to me."

So it wasn't just T.I. & Tiny who wed in the past couple of days. ... We hear Swizz and Alicia wed as well.


(aliciakeysweb.com/ has a a whole slew of pics)

Swizz wore a white jacket and pink shirt. His eldest son, Prince Nasir Dean, sported a black tuxedo.

TROUBLE IN BROMANCE LAND BETWEEN JAY-Z & LEBRON

NY Daily News is report that Hov may be a little hot with LeBron...

The Internet is popping with a report that Hov, who's also a minority owner of the New Jersey Nets, is upset that James kept him out of the loop on his decision to join the Miami team.

Supposedly, "EXTREMELY CREDIBLE insider" says Jay felt disrespected that King James did not consult with him during the free agency process."

And Gatecrasher got a similar take from a source in Jay-Z's camp. "Jay never expected LeBron to sign with the Nets. He knew that no 25-year-old kid with James' profile was going to spend years in Newark," the source tells Gatecrasher. "But he's pissed, or at least disappointed, that LeBron didn't consult with him."

Another NBA insider says Jay-Z's real source of dissatisfaction should be with Nets owner Prokhorov. "The Nets have no basketball team," the source says, saying that Prokhorov "overpromoted and overmarketed" the team, but wasn't able to deliver a player with genuine box-office appeal.

GV Says: I actually think it's all good between these two

FOXY IN A LAMBORGHINI

Seriously, who does this broke 'B' think she's fooling???

NY Daily New reports that Foxy Brown rolled up to court in a black Lamborghini Tuesday.

She emerged from her fly ride dressed to the nines in a teal dress, plunging neckline and heels to the heavens.

Her fans loved it, but Judge Geraldine Pickett couldn't care less, instead extending an order of protection a neighbor took out against Brown in 2007 when the raunchy rapper beaned her with a BlackBerry.

Brown was in Brooklyn Criminal Court for a status hearing on allegations she violated the original order when she tangled with Arlene Raymond outside her Prospect Heights home last week.

Brown cursed Raymond out, bent over and thrust her exposed butt out, authorities said.

"B----, what are you looking at?" she snarled, according to the criminal complaint. "Kiss my a--."

Foxy, whose real name is Inga Marchand, was represented by a new lawyer, Salvatore Strazzullo, hired Sunday after Bruce Barron surprisingly announced he was no longer working with her.

"We deny the allegations that she mooned Ms. Raymond," Strazzullo said. "Ms. Marchand is innocent, absolutely innocent."

Prosecutor David Weiss said evidence would be presented to a grand jury.

"Yes, I will testify before a grand jury," Foxy said outside the courtroom.

"We just had a sold out concert at B.B. King's," she added.

Strazzullo also asked that an an order of protection be issued against Raymond.

The judge denied it.

GV Says: This is sad. This girl is clearly not making money yet she finds it necessary to scrape together two nickels to prove she's still fly....to who though?

WESLEY SNIPES HEADED TO JAIL?

Looks that way...



CNN reports that a federal appeals court has denied Wesley's claim that his three-year prison sentence for tax evasion was "unreasonable."

A panel of judges in the 11th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals upheld Snipes' 2008 sentencing on three misdemeanor counts of failing to file tax returns.

"The district court acted well within its considerable discretion in sentencing Snipes to thirty-six months in prison," the judges said.

Snipes had argued that the only reasonable sentence would have been a period of probation.

Snipes argued that the judge who sentenced him in April 2008 did not consider mitigating factors like his college education, family and charitable activities.

Federal prosecutors said Snipes for nearly a decade escaped paying more than $15 million in income tax returns by sending money to overseas accounts, though they acknowledged in court that the amount was in dispute.

Before the sentencing in 2008, the actor asked the court to show mercy and offered three checks totaling $5 million as a gesture of good will.

Federal prosecutors diverted the checks to the U.S. Treasury, which accepted the payment -- but it wasn't enough.

"It's essentially a down payment, but a fraction of what he owes," Assistant U.S. Attorney Scotland Morris said at the time.

ALICIA SPLITS WITH MANAGER

Alicia Keys has parted with her longtime manager, Jeff Robinson.

AK has been represented by Robinson's MBK Entertainment since the beginning of her career. She supposedly ended her business relationship with Robinson earlier this week.

There are multiple rumors as to why the pair is ending their business relationship, however one rep for Keys – she has two – says the split was "amicable" and sent a joint statement on behalf of the singer and her former manager.

"Jeff Robinson, CEO of MBK Entertainment Inc., and 12 time Grammy Award winner Alicia Keys have decided to change the structure of their business relationship. Robinson and Keys will continue to collaborate and produce future albums together through MBK/J Records while Alicia will now oversee all aspects of her own personal career. MBK Entertainment Inc. has been the management firm for Alicia Keys since she was a teenager-guiding every facet of her career, including the international success of her Grammy Award winning, multi-platinum albums, films and branding opportunities. Keys and Robinson have been partners for over a decade and would like opportunities to pursue other endeavors. Their decision is mutually agreed upon and amicable," the statement read.

"This decision will allow Alicia more control over all aspects of her career from singing and songwriting, to leading many business ventures and social causes," the statement continued. "Keys' company, AK Worldwide, will now have responsibility and oversight for Alicia's touring, endorsements, sponsorships, licensing, new business development, television and film ventures. MBK, a multifaceted entertainment company with a film, television, publishing and independent marketing divisions, will have the opportunity to focus on developing the careers of new, young talented artists. The company will also delve deeper into the gospel music format with their newly formed Glory to Glory Records."

GV Says: That was a long statement. It's it weird that when people have major changes in their personal lives - marriage, baby, etc - they make major business decisions. I'm just saying....

WEEZY OWES

We hear that Weezy owes....



$1.13 million to be exact. There's was a tax lien against the rapper last month, according to Florida court records.

He is set to be released from prison this fall following a conviction on gun charges.

MORE ON DREAM / CHRISTINA SAGA

So here's the latest on the Dream/ Christina saga.



So Dream wrote this foolish letter:

First I want to thank God for the trials of life, without them we can't know purpose!

I would love to tell the truth as to why my relationship wasn't successful, but today that is between me and Christina. Its easy to say that it’s because of another woman or a new relationship but truthfully, IT’S NOT.

I take FULL RESPONSIBILITY for misleading everyone into thinking everything was fine and okay when we knew problems existed for awhile! I wanted to speak up but we decided it wasn't for anyone to know. I would NEVER intentionally hurt a soul and everyone around me knows that! There was so much going on in me and Christina's personal world that I tried to deal with it as delicately as I could and tried to regain my footing. Instead of being direct in order not to cause even more hurt or hurt someone's feelings, I carried the weight in secret!

I am Human and people fall in and out of Love all the time... This is Life. Nothing’s promised or perfect, neither am I. I am not proud that I lost something we once had...LOVE! I've always been a Loving Father, Hard Worker, Generous, Stern and Eager to prove myself. My faults are I can be irresponsible and an ass sometimes, but I HAVE NEVER and WILL NEVER be a malicious person or wish harm to anyone, especially those I love or the mother of my child. I'm sorry for the embarrassment to everyone involved! If there's anyone to blame and you can't fathom this happening, please blame me and me alone for not being upfront! Even though we were trying to overcome personal things between us, I was just simply scared and embarrassed to let everyone know we WERE FAILING and HAVE NOW FAILED!

This is not to justify anything, it’s true emotion! It’s a real thing that involves real people! I've cried about this for months, after interviews, after prayer and I've tried to take my own life at a point because of the failure that was looming.

But I was reminded by my MOTHER that I am not "Superman" and its okay to lose sometimes...

This too shall pass! And everything will be fine!

~ Terius Nash ~

So help me get this..... you tried really hard to keep a marriage together for less than a year and most of that time she was pregnant with hormones flying and changes happening to her body. Wow....you would have been better not to say a word. This just shows how low he'll go to clear his name. You suck Dream.

HipHollywood's Kevin Frazier spoke exclusively to Carmen Milian, and she told us that the only thing she is focused on right now is the well-being of her daughter and grandchild. "I love them both so much and that is all I care about right now. I want to make sure that I protect my daughter and granddaughter."

Carmen had absolutely nothing to say about The Dream and added that, as a rule, she tries stay out of her kids’ romantic endeavors. "I don't get involved in any of my children’s relationships. What they do is up to them". She went on to explain that Milian and her family refuse to get caught up in bashing The Dream, as they are more concerned with getting through this difficult time.

K-CI & JO JO GET A REALITY SHOW

Do I hear another train wreck of a reality show hitting the air waves...Why yes I do. K-Ci and Jo Jo are getting their own reality show. It's called "Come Clean" and it'll air on TV One. This should be interesting.

CAVALIER OWNER HIT WITH A FINE

Thankfully....



After Cavalier owner Dan Gilbert posted a hateful letter aimed at LeBron James for choosing Miami over his home team, the NBA slapped a cool fine of $100,000 on him.

In the letter he called James all sorts of derogatory things and promised that the Cavaliers would win a NBA title before James does.

Reverend Jesse Jackson responded to Gilbert’s anger by accusing him of having a slave owner’s mentality.

"He speaks as an owner of LeBron and not the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers…His feelings of betrayal personify a slave master mentality. He sees LeBron as a runaway slave. This is an owner employee relationship -- between business partners -- and LeBron honored his contract." (ESPN)

Gilbert kept his response to Jackson short and sweet.

“I strongly disagree with Rev. Jesse Jackson's recent comments and we are not going to engage in any related discussion on it.” (ESPN)

GV Says: Shut up Jesse. Dan is digging a fine enough hole for himself without your help.

CHRISTINA AND THE DREAM SPLIT

I never wish bad on anyone but I knew months ago this was a wrap. The Dream has been no where to be seen in months and hints of splittsville were looming when he started saying married life was hard out-loud in interviews.



The singer and her music-producer husband The-Dream have decided to separate, his rep tells UsMagazine.com.

"Terius 'The-Dream' Nash is saddened to announce that his marriage to Christina Milian was unsuccessful," the rep confirms to the mag. "The couple reached this decision in late 2009, but decided to keep the news private in efforts to protect their baby daughter, Violet. They ask for consideration and respect for their family moving forward."

The couple's split doesn't come as a surprise, as new scandalous photos have surfaced showing The-Dream frolicking in the Caribbean over the weekend with a woman who is not his wife. According to Us, the other woman is the producer's assistant of about a year, Melissa Santiago.In one photo, The-Dream reportedly is not wearing his wedding band as he is being straddled by Santiago in the water. Milian, 28, and The-Dream, 29, eloped last September in Las Vegas and tied the knot a second time in Rome in December.

They welcomed Violet in February.

SNOOP REVEALS FAMILY STRUGGLES

Snoop recently had a candid conversation about his family...



It all began five years ago when they noticed a light spot on the face of Cori, then 6 years old. Weeks later, the daughter of Snoop Dogg and wife Shanté Broadus was losing drastic amounts of weight and her hair was falling out.

Despite visiting countless doctors, no one was able to offer the rapper and his family a diagnosis for Cori. "I felt helpless," Snoop told People reporters while fighting back tears. "No power, no friends."

His wife Shanté adds, "No one could tell me what was wrong. They drew tons of blood and said she has old-person cells. They gave her all kinds of [medication]. But she went downhill."

Months later, after getting the diagnosis of lupus, Snoop Dogg and his family began their journey to understand the autoimmune disease, which ultimately brought his family closer together.

"She's the toughest little thing I've ever met," the rapper says of his daughter. "She's on the honor roll, playing volleyball and softball, living life. She has all this joy. In the beginning lupus was winning. But now Cori is."

MARTIN LAWRENCE TIES THE KNOT

Who knew...Martin Lawrence just tied the knot



Martin Lawrence and his longtime girlfriend, Shamicka Gibbs, were married in an intimate wedding on Saturday at his home in Beverly Hills.

Martin, 45, and Shamicka, 35, exchanged vows in the backyard in front of 120 guests, including Eddie Murphy and Denzel Washington. Their daughters Amara, 9, and Iyana, 7, and Lawrence's daughter Jasmine, 14, from a previous marriage were flower girls.

"Best night of my entire life," Vazquez wrote on her Twitter page. "Thank u to all my family and friends who shared tonight with me. I love u. I'm on cloud 9 right now."

MINORITY REPORT: LINDSAY HEADS TO JAIL

Really....isn't it about time.

Lohan received no sympathy from L.A. Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel, who found she violated probation on a pair of 2007 DUI busts.

A weepy LiLo made a last-ditch plea for freedom, bizarrely invoking her charity work with Moroccan children at one point.

"I'm not taking this as a joke," the party-hearty actress said during a rambling speech in which she broke down twice.

"It's my life. It's my career. I've learned."

An unmoved Revel sentenced Lohan to three consecutive 30-day sentences - three times what prosecutors were seeking - to be followed by rehab.

"She comes and goes as she pleases," said Revel. "There's been a history of that. No excuses."

Revel dismissed Lohan's appeal for leniency as insincere, citing her record of lying repeatedly about drinking and drugging.

Did you know Fonzworth was engaged....

Supposedly, he proposed on December 2009 near their Atlanta hometown.

He got down on one knee with a 3-carat asscher-cut diamond from NYC's Ozuro Fine Jewelry.

"I tricked her! She thought it would happen on Christmas but I did it right before New Year's," Bentley told Us rag mag. "She said yes and I was so excited. Afterward, she kept wanting to call and tell her mother and I told her not to - because then we walked into a restaurant where my parents and her parents were waiting. We all had lunch and then I walked them all back to show them where I proposed."

Sorry I'm still not feeling Breezy. He's on my R. Kelly done for life list.
