Buzz Notes: The Truth Behind Natina Reed’s Arrest

Posted on

natina1 Buzz Notes: The Truth Behind Natina Reeds ArrestThere are  too many natural hair care blogs dedicated to Women of Color for anybody’s head to be looking like this, but that’s another blog entry.

The story behind this lovely mugshot  and potential Tyler Perry come-to-Jesus stage play character has been twisted.

Natina Reed, one third of the Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes discovered R&B trio Blaque, was popped on April 13 in Dekalb County, Georgia for violating the open container laws and disorderly conduct. How dreadful. After posting a $420 cash bond the she was released the following day.

To add insult to injury, there is a MediaTakeOut-esque pseudo arrest report floating around the internet that has been photoshopped and screwed to show the arrest was for prostitution and cocaine possession.

Sandra Rose reports:

A gossip blog, which shall remain nameless, decided to use this former celebrity’s unfortunate situation to gain a few hits by doctoring the original arrest report to show that Reed had been arrested for drug possession and prostitution.

Those charges are patently false.

When Reed’s former band member Brandy Harris was reached for a comment, she expressed surprise at the fake charges.

Harris said she was “shocked” to hear that a blog Photoshopped Reed’s police report to include charges that were not on the original arrest report. She said her thoughts and Prayers go out to Natina because “now [the false charges are] out there on the Internet.”

Its a shame really. The only thing that should have been touched by a photoshop angel went neglected. I’ll let you figure that one out.

sandra Open Air: Sandra Bullocks Adoption Gets A Side Eye of Epic Proportions

The big news here isn’t Sandra Bullock filing for divorce from Vanilla Gorilla but the shade she is being served by her Little Chocolatier.

“He’s just perfect, I can’t even describe him any other way,” Bullock reveals exclusively in the new issue of PEOPLE, announcing that she is the proud mother of Louis Bardo Bullock, a 3½-month-old boy, born in New Orleans. “It’s like he’s always been a part of our lives.”

Bullock, 45, and husband Jesse James, 41, began the adoption process four years ago and brought Louis home in January but decided to keep the news to themselves until after the Oscars. Their close friends and family – including James’s children Sunny, 6, Jesse Jr., 12, and Chandler, 15 – were essential in keeping the adoption a secret. (People)

With an album scheduled to drop next week, Trina may want to go snatch up a beybeh from the 9th Ward so she can make a few publicity rounds. She did say she was considering adopting a child from Haiti a few months back, right?

News Break: Jailbirds Order Up Hot Wings

Posted on

cheezburger1 News Break: Jailbirds Order Up Hot Wings In a bid to raise cash and keep the peace in crowded jails, wardens nationwide are offering inmates the chance to order meatball subs, cheeseburgers, chicken parmesan—even a “Pizza and Wings Party Pack,” complete with celery, blue cheese and a Pepsi.

The program goes beyond the old-fashioned prison commissary, with its cup-a-soups and bags of chips, and it can be quite lucrative for corrections departments.

“We have to be creative in tough fiscal times,” said Edwin G. Buss, commissioner of Indiana’s Department of Correction.

But critics worry the service will trigger jealousies, promote unhealthy diets and coddle prisoners.

The service, launched in 2006 by food-service giant Aramark Corp., took off in the past two years amid the recession. Inmates—or, more often, their relatives—place orders on Aramark’s “iCare” Web site. The company tailors its menus to each jail’s rules.

Prices generally run $7 to $12 for a hot meal and $20 to $100 for a junk-food box filled with beef jerky, iced cookies, vanilla cappuccino or other goodies not available in the commissary.

The Indiana state prison system is on track to make more than $2 million this year on sales from the service. In San Antonio, Texas, the Bexar County jail, which makes 45 cents on every dollar in sales, projects its revenue could hit $500,000.
