Tameka Tiny Cottle and T.I. Getting Married In 2010

Tameka Tiny Cottle and T.I. Getting Married In 2010 – Tameka “Tiny” Cottle says she is fed up with everyone asking when she and fiancé, T.I., are getting married. The former Xscape singer said that they are taking their time.
“I don’t really worry about what people say about what’s taking so long,” Cottle told Vibe magazine. “Like, it ain’t none of your business what’s taking so long. If we happy, why are you so concerned? We living, we’re happy, we’re in love. I mean, it’s no doubt in my mind that he doesn’t love every piece of me and vice versa, so we’re just doing what’s comfortable and what works for us (Tiny and T.I), not for the world. When we get ready to make a move, we will make it. We just can’t do it for everybody.”

Tiger Woods Text Messages Joslyn James

Joslyn James – one of Tiger Woods’ alleged mistresses – has posted online, a series of X-rated test messages she claims the golf star sent her.
It seems the adult entertainment industry has been affected by the recession as well. Reportedly, the porn star tried to cash in with various media outlets on the explicit texts – to no avail, which ultimately led to her creating her own media “outlet” to expose her and Tigers’ dirt. She was asking for tens of thousands of dollars, according to RadarOnline.com.
After failed attempts to sell the sexually charged text messages, which is referred to as sexting, the adult film actress launched a brand new Web Site – www.sextingjoslynjames.com – on Thursday, revealing the graphic exchange of words.
The text conversations took place over the course of several months last year.
Here are just some of the alleged Tiger texts from the site:
“OK, I would like to have a threesome with you and another girl you trust…”
“Hold you down while I choke you and F*** that a** that I own…”
“I want to treat you rough, throw you around, spank and slap you…”
“I want you to beg for my c***. Kiss you all over to convince me to let you have it in your mouth…”
“You are my f*****g whore… hold you down while I choke you.”
This is just a sample of more than 100 text messages. Interestingly, Joslyn omitted replies she sent to Tiger that may have incited him.
After the news first broke of Tigers’ affairs with more than a dozen women, James, whose real name is Veronica Siwik-Daniels, tearfully demanded an apology from Woods as her attorney, Gloria Allred stood by her side. James said she fell in love with the golf pro, and claims that he impregnated her twice.

Oprah Winfrey Defamation Suit Trial

Oprah Winfrey Defamation Suit Trial – Media mogul Oprah Winfrey may not be able to talk herself out of a defamation suit by an ex-employee of her South Africa school.
Judge Eduardo has ruled that former headmistress Nomvuyo Mzamane has enough evidence to pursue her defamation claims against the talk show host, reports The Associated Press. Winfrey made the remarks in 2007 after student complaints of sexual inappropriateness by several staff members surfaced at the $40 million Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls.
Winfrey made remarks suggesting Mzamane was not trustworthy.
“I thought she cared about the girls of South Africa,” according to the October 2008 lawsuit.
Winfrey’s lawyers argued the remarks being used against Winfrey reflected her opinions as she spoke to parents during a meeting on Oct. 20, 2007 and a press conference held Nov. 5, 2007.
But the judge believes Winfrey’s words were damaging and is prepared to take the case to trial, ultimately letting a jury decide her fate.
“The implication that Mzamane was aware of abuse by the dorm parents and did not react accordingly is capable of defamatory meaning as it ascribes conduct which would render her unfit for her profession as an educator,” Robreno wrote in the 128-page opinion.
Mzamane returned to Philadelphia after her contract wasn’t renewed at Winfrey’s school, but has yet to secure stable employment. She feels she is unable to find work because of Winfrey’s comments.
The school opened in January 2007 in Johannesburg for 150-plus live-in students hand-selected by Winfrey. It was christened with a celebration attended by Nelson Mandela, Mariah Carey and other celebs. Presently, about 300 girls attend the free school grades 7 to 10 and plans are to add grades 11 and 12 by next year.
The trial is scheduled to start March 29 in Philadelphia.
