Roger Moore Denies Making
Tasha Smith Has To Pay Ex $7K A Month
Tasha Smith and ex-hus- band Keith Douglas.
With the benefit of hind- sight, it’s safe to say that Tasha Smith and Keith Douglas shouldn’t have gotten married.
As we’ve reported the mar- riage was quite tumultuous and they’ve since parted, but guess who’s footing the bill? Or should we say guess who got a nice settlement?
The “Why Did I Get Mar- ried” actress referred to him as a “glorified assistant.” Accord- ing to the court documents, Smith was ordered to hand over nearly $7k/month in spousal support to Douglas. That’s on top of the $50k she already sent his way in Decem- ber.
Douglas had to give Tasha’s Mercedes back to her.
50 Taking Shots At Diddy, Again; French Montana Chimes In
50 CENT, DIDDY, FRENCH MONTANA
50 Cent has been throwing shots at Sean “Diddy” Combs for a long time. Just last year, 50 expressed his be- lief that the head of Bad Boy Records never makes hot music and hinted Diddy might be gay. Fiddy is once again taking aim at his fellow Hip Hop mogul.
50 promoted his Effen Vodka brand on an Instagram post, but the Queens represen- tative also called out the com- petition – Diddy’s Ciroc. The IG pic was captioned with the hashtag “#noPuffyjuice” refer- ring to Combs’ old stage name.
Bad Boy rapper French Montana later took a shot at 50 on his own IG page. The “Pop That” rapper – who has had his issues with 50 Cent in the past – posted a GQ magazine cover featuring the G-Unit leader wearing a sleeve- less shirt. The caption simply read, “Stop!!!! Legendary!!”
50 then responded to the Bronx native with his own pic- ture. The photo featured French and Diddy laying be- side each other. 50 wrote, “What in the #EFFENVODKA world is going on in this picture man. SOMETHINGS [sic] not right.”

Idris Elba (r) is on target to be the newest person to play James Bond. Roger Moore (l) was James Bond for numerous films.
Real Housewives’ Kandi And Todd Get Spin-Off Show’
The old James Bond, Roger Moore has denied making racist comments about Idris Elba’s chances of replacing Daniel Craig as James Bond.
The 87-year-old actor was quoted by Paris Match say- ing: “A few years ago, I said that Cuba Gooding, Jr. would make an excellent Bond, but it was a joke!” He reportedly continued, “Al- though James may have been played by a Scot, a Welshman and an Irishman, I think he should be ‘English- English’. Nevertheless, it’s an interesting idea, but unrealis- tic.”
The comments caused a Twitter storm of protest, with both “Roger Moore” and “Idris Elba” trending in the social network over the week- end. Elba, 42, is the book- maker’s favourite to replace Daniel Craig and has re- ceived the current 007’s seal of approval. But Moore then took to Twitter to suggest he had been misquoted.
Moore also replied to a follower explaining his posi- tion. He wrote: “@FrediSmith when a journalist asks if ‘bond should be English’ and you agree, then quotes you saying it about Idris Elba it’s out of context.”
“Real Housewives of At- lanta” star, Kandi Burruss and her hubby, Todd Tucker are going to be the focus of a new Bravo spin-off show tentatively titled “Meet The Tuckers.”
A source close to produc- tion says their new produc- tion will be much like their wedding special with about 4 episodes or so. It will be cen- tered around the Tuckers working to revitalize their marriage.
By the way, Kandi was seen taping a confessional for a new show (most likely her own). She posted a pic to In-

Taraji Henson Apologizes To Police Over Son
Taraji P. Henson was roundly applauded on social media this week over actions she took after having claimed that police in Glendale, Calif., racially profiled her son, Marcell, during a traffic stop.
In a recent interview with Uptown magazine, she said she was sending her son to Howard University after he was profiled on the campus of the University of Southern California.
Turns out the Empire star says she overreacted, accord- ing to the Los Angeles Times, which obtained a 40-minute video of an officer’s encounter with her 20-year-old son. She apologized to police Friday in an Instagram message with the hashtag #TurningANega- tiveIntoAPositive #LoveTara- jiPHenson.
“I would like to publicly apologize to the officer and the Glendale Police Depart- ment,” she wrote. “A mother’s job is not easy and neither is a police officer’s. Sometimes as humans WE overreact with- out gathering all the facts. As a mother in this case, I over- reacted and for that I apolo- gize. Thank you to that officer for being kind to my son.”
In the lengthy video recording of the traffic stop,
Taraji Henson’s son, Mar- cell being stopped by an offi- cer.
Marcell, is shown running a yellow light at a crosswalk where a pedestrian is at- tempting to cross. The officer then pulls him over.
After a series of questions from the officer, including if he’s ever been arrested, Johnson tells the officer he has marijuana in his back- pack.
“I appreciate you being honest with me about the weed,” the officer says. “I do appreciate that because I do smell weed.”
Johnson complies with the officer’s request to step out of the car and wait on the sidewalk. After running checks and searching his car, the officer, who was joined by several others, issued John- son a citation for possession of marijuana, but let him go for running the yellow light.
