Patti LaBelle, 71, Dating Her Drummer, 41

The ReadyWriter

couple-550x360R&B legend Patti LaBelle is living a life straight out of American Gigolo, the 1980 film about an emotionally unavailable high priced male escort.

The 71-year-young songstress, who revived her career selling sweet potato pies for Wal-Mart, is dating her drummer, 41-year-old Eric Seats.

The couple met after he was hired to be her drummer last year.

“She tried to keep it quiet, but everyone around her has figured it out by now. She’s completely smitten with him,” a source told London’s Daily Mail tabloid.

LaBelle’s 42-year-old son, Zuri Edwards, is reportedly unhappy that his mother is dating a man younger than he is.

Seats is known around the music industry for targeting rich older women. He reportedly loves them then leaves them. But Patti’s friends aren’t concerned that Seats might be an American gigolo.

“She hasn’t been this happy in years,” a source confided to the Daily Mail. “Patti was so happy he moved to Philly with her. She loves having him with her all the time. She even has a big portrait of the two of them up on her wall in her bedroom,” said the source.

Seats has toured with Stevie Wonder, Mary J Blige and Missy Elliott, in addition to producing songs for Destiny’s Child, Aaliyah, 702 and Tank.

Tasha Smith Ordered to Pay Ex-husband $7K a Month in Support

Actress Tasha Smith is headed to divorce court after just ‘5’ years of marriage.

A judge ordered the Why Did I Get Married star to pay her ex-husband, Keith Douglas, $7,000 a month in spousal support — that’s in addition to the $50,000 she was ordered to give him last year.

It’s too bad Tasha didn’t pay attention to the warning signs of Dopamine addiction. She could have saved herself the heartache and pain of watching her now ex-husband spend her hard earned cash on other men.

From gossip tabloid TMZ.com:

Actress Tasha Smith will think twice about getting hitched again — the now ex-husband she calls a glorified assistant just scored a fat settlement in their divorce.

According to the court docs … the “Why Did I Get Married?” star has been ordered to hand over nearly $7k/month in spousal support to Keith Douglas. That’s on top of the $50k she already shelled out to him in December.

As we previously reported … their rocky marriage took some crazy twists, including mutual restraining orders, and both saying they feared for their lives.

The settlement wasn’t a total loss for Tasha … Keith had to give back her Mercedes.

Rap artist Kanye West debuted his flesh color body wear last week at fashion week. And the line is simply a mess in my opinion! Kanye should stick strictly to the art of music because I think he knows NOTHING about fashion.

Yet Kanye is receiving an abundance of praise from editors, authorities in fashion and influencers. His collection made its way down the runway on the first day of New York Fashion Week, comprising of full body stockings, see-through skin-colored crop tops and visible nude pants. It’s certainly a new take on underwear as outerwear – one certainly not for the faint hearted.

Kim Kardashian certainly looked a hot mess (pictured below) as she wore her husbands creation ensemble to his show last week. She liked the look so much, she even posted an Instagram photo of herself, adding: ‘My look for the Yeezy show!!!!!! Yeezy head to toe!!!!!’

The camo parka that Kim Kardashian also wore was a highlight, and we thought the oversized backpack was a clever accessory that’ll probably make it into a healthy stack of editorials.’ 

Kanye claims that he wanted his collection to be made up of ‘solutions based clothing,’ saying, ‘I don’t want the clothes to be the life, I want the clothes to help the life.’ 

It is also thought that it will have a relatively low price point compared to other designer clothes meaning the pieces can be snapped up by his fans. 

I have one question, will you be trying Kanye’s nude body suit it out?

Her ceremony was on her terms and in her own way.

Solange Knowles married her fiancé video choreographer Alan Ferguson, 51 in New Orleans on Sunday in a southern style eclectic wedding that was out of the norm. The couple arrived for the ceremony on vintage white bicycles, the brides adorned with white roses.

The guest all wore white and a lot of care and precision went into Solange’s big day as her wedding photos will be featured in a layout of Vogue magazine.

Standing to attention: Judging by these official wedding photos, a lot of care and precision went into organizing Solange's big day

Noticeably missing from the wedding festivities was Solange and Beyoncé’s father, Matthew Knowles who’s apparently estranged from his daughter’s due to his highly publicized extra marital indiscretions. Therefore, instead of the shining moment of a father/daughter dance; Solange had a mother/son dance with her ten (10) year old son, Daniel Julez, from her previous marriage. The video is too cute check it out!

Paula Patton split with husband Robin Thicke because he was allegedly continuing an affair with a woman they were having a three-way relationship.

According to Star magazine, Paula and Robin had been carrying on a consensual ménage-a-trois with a massage therapist for two years. But when Patton, 38, allegedly found out the other woman – who is being called Jasmine – and her husband were having a two-person affair, she called a time out on her marriage.

Paula allegedly walked in on Robin and Jasmine while in the middle of a sexual act, but Thicke reportedly didn’t understand why his wife was upset. “Robin pushed Paula to allow Jasmine into the bedroom with tem in order to spice up their sex life, and she reluctantly agreed in an attempt to keep him happy”, the source explained.

Reports of Robin’s affairs and infidelities have been coming in thick and fast since their break-up, but and he initially seemed to be trying to win her back with public declarations of love at his concerts.

But now neither Patton nor Thicke are wearing their wedding rings, and the actress was recently seen cosying up to Jeremy Renner (pictured below), at the Independent Spirit Awards earlier this year.
