Back On The Block

Hi Guys!

Did you miss me?  I missed you.  *peeks through, hands* I honestly thought I was going to stop blogging.  I really felt like I needed a break and was exploring some new things and hobbies.  Believe it or not it take quite a bit of time to peruse and get the best stories to post here.  So, hopefully, I've made a schedule that I can keep and show you all the respect you deserve when you stop by to get the latest water cooler gossip.

I'm going to do a rapid recap for anyone interested in what they may have missed.  If you are mad at me feel free to throw rocks. 

Kiss & Tell

From Fabulous via Rhymes With Snitch


Usher tells Fabulous

"Companionship is important - every man should have a woman to make him better. I'm dating at the moment - not anyone in particular, but I have a few people I'm interested in.

"Rihanna is beautiful. But she's not necessarily on my hit list - she's like my sister right now. Or cousin - we have kissed."

On To The Next One

Just before the holiday weekend Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds finalized their divorce.  Meanwhile Scarlett's rebound Sean Penn was stepping out with his new lady in Malibu.  Over a month after ending his five-month relationship with Johansson, 26, the Oscar winner, 50, went shirtless in the sand and surf for the patriotic holiday. At the surprisingly buff star's side? New girlfriend Stacey Koplin.  Here's hoping Koplin fares better than Johansson. Early last month, an insider said that Penn broke up with Johansson because he didn't want anything "serious" since his 2010 divorce from Robin Wright.

Breakups to Makeups

Justin TImberlake and Jesscica Biel have quietly started seeing each other again after splitting in March.  It's rumoured that Jessica always wanted to get back together and Justin realized that single life isn't all that.  I knew this was a dirty lie and didn't bother posting it. 

On July 3, the couple shared pork tacos at the Black Hoof restaurant in Toronto. But another insider cautions reconciliation won't be easy and adds that for now, "they're just spending time together and taking things slowly.

**Prediction...they'll be married within the next 3-4 years OR break up for good by the end of the year and that breakup won't be so nice** Hold me to it.

Kim Kardashian Responds to Casey Anthony Verdict

From HuffPost

Like the rest of us Kim Kardashian was closely watching the Casey Anthony murder trial.
When the verdict came back "not guilty" Kardashian tweeted her disbelief:
The Twitterverse seems to have some misplaced anger and they're taking it out on Kim, whose late father Robert Kardashian defended O.J. Simpson in his trial for the murder of his wife Nicole Brown Simpson.
Is it ironic that Kim was shocked? Twitter seems to think so:
