Oscar nominated ‘Precious’ actress Gabourey Sidibe has finally commented on the lack of diversity on Vailty Fair’s March Young Hollywood issue cover. Sidibe spoke to Access Hollywood about the controversy, saying, “At first I thought, ‘Hmm, should I be there?’ Then I very quickly got over it. I think if I were a part of that shoot I would have felt a little left out anyway.” The issue, which is on newsstands now, features a host of hot Hollywood up-and-comers, including Kristen Stewart, Emma Stone, Amanda Seyfried and Sidibe’s fellow Oscar nominees Anna Kendrick and Carey Mulligan, but no women of color.

TIGER WOODS TALKS

February 18th, 2010

Tiger Woods’ camp broke a nearly three-month silence yesterday to say he will finally emerge from his secluded den tomorrow to publicly apologize for his rampant philandering and announce his imminent return to golf. But in a clear-cut message that this Tiger isn’t changing his “control-freak” stripes, Woods, 34, is stubbornly refusing to take any questions about his horn-dogging from the few handpicked reporters he is allowing to attend his appearance at PGA Tour headquarters in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. And he is expected to talk for a mere five minutes during an event that will draw worldwide attention.

It’s not clear if Woods’ wife, Elin Nordegren will be standing by her man when he opens his mouth.

Fox Business News reported that Woods plans to return to golf “within days” — setting himself up for a possible appearance in April at the Masters tournament, which he has won four times. ”Tiger Woods will be speaking to a small group of friends, colleagues and close associates at 11 a.m . . . at the TPC Sawgrass Clubhouse,” said a statement issued by Woods’ management team . His appearance will come on the heels of his release from a sex-rehab center in Mississippi. ”Tiger plans to discuss his past and his future and he plans to apologize for his behavior,” the statement said. ”While Tiger feels that what happened is fundamentally a matter between he and his wife, he also recognizes that he has hurt and let down a lot of people who were close to him,” the statement said. ”He also let down his fans. He wants to begin the process of making amends, and that’s what he’s going to do.”

American rapper Nas has put out a new track about his estranged wife, Kelis. In the track, Strong Will Continue, he speaks on how she was unfaithful during their marriage. Kelis filed for divorce from the legendary rap star last year, only months before giving birth to their son, Knight. It’s been a very bitter divorce, with Kelis suing for more money than initially proposed - with the result that Nas has been ordered to pay out a hefty $51,000 in child and spousal support per month. The new song features the lyrics, “Twisted and mangled, sort of like Bruce Lee life, cursed with his son Brandon. If that’s you and me Knight, I pray our fates greater. How in the hell am I supposed to stay comfy, when I pay child support, alimony monthly…”

Wearing what many have dubbed “leather capris with legwarmers,” Usher appeared to struggle to keep up with his dancers. Performing a new song “More,” Usher’s biggest fail came when he disappeared under the stage and re-emerged, wearing a leather “chest plate” or a male version of a bustier, observers could not figure it out. Making matters worse, he wore a white t-shirt underneath it all. It was not a pleasant sight and Twitter let him have it. One tweeter described the outfit with “Teenage Mutant Usher Turtle” while another noted that “We add a body instead of working out to get the body. Not a good look.”

The rumor mill is abuzz with word that high-powered celeb attorney Phaedra Parks may be joining the cast on the third season of Bravo’s “Real Housewives of Atlanta.”

The sassy but classy Parks has long been a force in Atlanta’s entertainment industry, with music clients ranging from Bobby Brown to Jermaine Dupri.

Parks has yet to confirm or deny the rumor, according to blogger ATLien of Straight From the A. But if Parks does join the cast, she’ll be the second member in the music biz behind Kandi Burruss who joined last season.

OPRAH STAFFERS MAD AT “NO PHONE ZONE ” PLEDGE

February 12th, 2010

*Oprah Winfrey has made everyone at Harpo sign a pledge not to use their cell phones while driving – be it talking or texting – and staffers are reportedly very upset at the inconvenience. The talk show host launched her “no phone zone pledge” after taping an episode that featured a young couple who lost their daughter after a man, who was talking on his cell phone, hit their SUV. While Oprah’s goal to save lives is well-intentioned, many feel her tactics were heavy-handed and that she shouldn’t be ruling their lives, according to Radar Online. “Some were complaining that they had just purchased hands-free devices and now they can’t use them,” one source told the Web site. “They’re worried this will hurt them from doing their jobs. Some employees talk on the phone while drive because they are under deadlines and their jobs are not 9-to-5.”

Although Oprah did not force her employees to sign the pledge, all were approached with the request. ”It was pretty clear to everyone that it would not be good to resist signing it,” one insider told RadarOnline.com. “You don’t mess with Oprah. …They all felt pressure and Oprah’s people even taped some people signing it.”
