Spread the Word!
by Iyana Garry


We hate it, we turn our noses up at it, yet we can’t resist the urge to listen and spread it. Yes, it’s gossip! I know you’re thinking, “Why is HarlemLive helping the tabloid industry with their gossip?” Yet, you’re still reading this, so you’re no better! Now, let’s get down to business and start this new gossip column of HarlemLive, what I would like to call Spread the Word!, the HarlemLive version of the Wendy Williams show! (Well, I wouldn’t exactly call myself Wendy Williams; I’m no crack addict and not everyone in the world hates my guts.) Anyway, let’s get to it, shall we?!

A rumor is floating around that R&B singer Jonny Gill and actor Eddie Murphy are together on some ‘down-low’ type relationship, based on a recent picture seen of the two walking together. They weren’t kissing, hugging nor gazing at each other lovingly, yet they were walking very closely. It’s hard to base the possibility of a relationship between two people on a mere picture, and a picture taken by the paparazzi at that (we know that paparazzi and tabloids will make up anything about stars just to make that cheddar!) However, Gill felt the need to clarify the rumor and told AOL Black Voices, “I am 100 percent all man.” Whatever that means!

We all have seen socialite Nicole Richie and wondered, “What kind of diet plan is she on? The face-in-the-toilet-bowl diet plan, perhaps?” Yet, her daddy, has-been Lionel Richie, says otherwise. He told Star magazine that she’s “under a lot of stress right now and that’s why she’s lost weight.” Hmm, I guess that her new weight loss has nothing to do with the drug addiction she had two years ago. Richie’s father also added “she’s just feeling a little bit of the pressures of her new business.” Sure she is! With her engagement to her other fiancé, Adam Goldstein, emphasis on the word other and her new book The Truth About Diamonds, which could be categorized with Superhead. We don’t need to go there!

According to AllHipHop.com, word is going around that rapper 50 Cent might be trying the movie acting thing again, with Nicolas Cage! This probably isn’t a good move for an amateur actor whose first movie was based on his life and deserved a maximum of maybe two measly stars. But hey, if at first you don’t succeed, try again! Speaking of movies, actor Chris Tucker, a real actor, may be making his comeback from a four-year break with a trilogy of “Rush Hour.” Good seeing Tucker back in the industry, but if I see Jackie Chan in another corny movie, it’ll be too soon!

And, for the finale, there is a picture of former TV personality-turned-rapper Free that shows her with a thin belly. In other words, the rumors of her laying up in Methodist Hospital up in Park Slope with a bun in the oven and rapper Jay-Z by her side are not true! Speaking of pregnant, rumors are going around that actress Halle Berry possibly may be pregnant with her boyfriend, fine blue-eyed actor Michael Ealy’s baby.

However, this is the thing about rumors: we don’t know the truthfulness behind them. The most we can do is go by what we hear until we hear them straight from the horse’s mouth. Until next time, folks! Continue to Spread the Word!
