From VIBE:

On Monday (March 8), Lil Wayne officially began a one-year prison sentence at Riker’s Island for gun possession charges. But with the sentencing being postponed several times prior (due to Wayne’s dental work and then a courthouse fire), it was an emotional ordeal for both his ex-wife Antonia “Toya” Johnson and their 11-year-old daughter Reginae.

“It was up and down, you know. One minute we thought he was going and she’d be sad and then he don’t go,” Toya told VIBE over the phone from Atlanta. “We [were] in New York like two times and we ended up turning right back around because he didn’t go.”

On the day the New Orleans rapper was finally sentenced, Toya and Reginae spoke to him but weren’t at the courthouse to say goodbye.

“The last day he finally went in, we didn’t go, so my daughter was like, ‘I wish I would’ve went.’ It was just too much. I just didn’t want to let her see that again ’cause both times she took it real hard,” said Toya. “So I was like, I’m not gon’ let her go this last time. I’m just gon’ make sure he talk to her ’cause I didn’t know if he was really gonna go. They kept pushing back.”

“He just told me to be strong and don’t really trip. Don’t let her see me down,” said Toya. “At first my daughter would see me a little sad and you know kids they react off of your feelings sometimes, so he was just like, ‘Be strong, make sure you take care of her. Make sure she straight and keep her phone on all the times so I can call her. The time is gonna fly by.’

“The whole point of him being in jail is just not good for her—to say her dad’s in jail,” Toya continued. “But at this point it is what it is, and we just gotta make the best of it. I’ma take her to visit him and talk to him and she’ll get through this eight months. It’ll fly by. I tell her all the time, ‘Just call daddy and tell him you love him,’ and he’ll be home soon.”

According to TMZ:

Shaunie O’Neal’s lawyer, Sorrell Trope, tells TMZ Shaq and Shaunie have reached agreement on all terms of the divorce, including property, custody and support.

Under the agreement, the Florida courts will have jurisdiction to officially divorce the couple. In addition, a Florida judge will handle any issues that may arise involving property division and spousal support. Trope tells TMZ the California courts will have jurisdiction over any issues related to child custody.

Also, Shaunie is prepping for the debut of her new reality series “Basketball Wives.” In an exclusive interview with Essence Magazine, she explains what went wrong in her marriage, blaming Miami groupies, whom she says are the most “aggressive” she has even seen, and Shaq’s inability to resist temptation.

Shaunie on when things started to go bad in her marriage:
[Shaq was traded to the Miami Heat] “Miami is a great city. It just wasn’t a great city for our marriage. I know they say L.A. has its groupies, but Miami has a different mentality. Even going to the games, the whole environment is so different. Girls are practically sitting in their bra and panties in the arena. When you’re trying to keep your husband, that’s a lot to take. It was a whole new lifestyle I wasn’t ready for. Apparently we didn’t have a strong enough foundation for Shaq to withstand that type of temptation.”

Shaunie on finally confronting Shaq about the infidelity rumors:
“He would deny it sometimes, and other times he would ask, ‘You got pictures? Video? If not, don’t come at me because you have no proof.’ He’d say, ‘Okay, you’re mad. Now what? You’re not going anywhere.’”

Shaunie on being accused of cheating on Shaq with her personal trainer:
“I worked out at home with my trainer, my sister, her husband and my girlfriend. I was a good girl. I wouldn’t even entertain a man flirting with me. I was that conservative. But when those rumors came out, I felt I was so small and Shaq was so big that it didn’t matter what I said; nobody was going to believe me. All I was thinking was, How could this happen to me? I had no idea how I was going to pick up the pieces. I was just done.”

Shaunie on the state of her relationship with Shaq today:
“We are becoming friends, and it’s nice because it’s something we really lacked in our marriage. I enjoy being able to talk openly to him, and I think we both learned a lot from each other during this time.”

Queen Latifah is on the prowl for baby-blue party decorations.

She’s hosting the upcoming baby shower for Paula Patton, who is pregnant with her and hubby Robin Thicke’s first child, a boy.

“It’s going to be pretty intimate,” Latifah tells me. “Not too crazy. Just close family and friends.”

Patton is reportedly due in May. “She’s my buddy,” said Latifah, who costars with Patton and Common in Just Wright. “I love her. I’ve been watching her baby grow from the beginning.”

Look for some musical gifts to be on the baby registry, because it seems the couple is expecting the little guy to be musical. “He will be,” Thicke assured.

“He will sing,” Patton said, adding with a laugh, “Look, no pressure!”

Latifah has her gift picked out. “I have some work to do, but I’m not getting her clothes. I have a special gift that I’m excited about.”

And no, she won’t be called Aunt Queen or Aunt Latifah. She’ll be using her real name instead. Latifah smiled: “I’m Auntie Dana.”

VIA SOCYBERTY:

We all have moments of anger, and blow up at one time or another. There are some people in our lives that just seem to get under our skin so easily and they know it, too. When you are angry, you won’t response smartly nor would you be sensitive to the other person’s feelings. Here is a list of things you can try to keep your cool.

If you are in a heated situation, walk away! Make sure you tell the party involved that you are too mad to have a discussion, and that you need time to think it through. Giving space to cool off in a heated moment can help both parties to see clearly. The more you are around each other when you are angry, the more difficult it will be to settle disputes. Before you know it, you will also dig up the past arguments, and throw them out at your partner. Walk away, leave the scene, and cool off!

Quickly think of a role model, and recall how he/she handles the situation. If it is your father that you think of in a difficult scene, how did he react to it? Having a role model serves that purpose when you are angry and can’t focus.Who is your role model in life? A stranger you’ve seen walking away calmly when he was attacked? Your mom peacefully handled a crazy neighbor? Have at least one role model in your mind to recall to.

Weave in Some Humor. Not sarcastic jokes! Say something that is sure to crack a smile or giggle, not something that can be translated into a “put-down”. If you really can’t come up with something to say, how about singing “I’m sorry, so sorry…” You know the tune! There is nothing worse than fuming the situation with “Does your hair always look that full?

Think of an Outlet. What helps you cool down when you are mad? Think of an outlet to take that frustration out. Pound a punching bag? Hit some golf balls? Weed out your garden vigorously? Rake your yard until there are no leaves left? Whatever it is, have an outlet to blow up some steam. Women and men have different ways of handling stressful situation, and recognizing this habit in your partner will help you have a better understanding about him/her.

Know your set off point! What makes you ticked? Who usually gets in your nerve? If you realize that this particular thing or person can upset you, you can easier control it. Pay closer attention to the moment you get angry, and why you get angry will help you learn your trigger. Keep a journal and record your moods. Writing can be very therapeutic to the soul since you can freely express your feelings without worry than someone might ridicule you. Anger is not good for your health, so find ways that work for you to stay calm.

Things appear to be going from bad to worse for Pop group Girlicious. Never quite fulfilling their potential due to line-up changes (member Tiffianie has left the group) and label drama, the trio today face new a dilemma, as prominent member Natalie Mejia was arrested after police found her with 12 bags of cocaine. The singer is currently being held on $30,000 bail.

If you haven’t heard of them, it’s because they haven’t achieved much success here in the U.S. The group was originally formed by Robin Antin, creator of the Pussycat Dolls, from the CW reality TV show “Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious.” Their self-titled debut album was released in Canada in mid 2008, reaching number 2 on the Canadian Albums Chart.

And if you have heard of them, it’s probably because Chris Brown was rumored to be dating Natalie.

RUMOR: Is Chris Brown Dating Girlicious Singer?

Mejia and Peter Asencio, 28, of Burbank were taken into custody after a police noticed a 1998 Ford Mustang driving at a high rate of speed, Glendale Police Sgt. Tom Lorenz said.

The officer stopped the car at Victory Boulevard and Winchester Avenue, just before it went onto the Ventura (134) Freeway, he said.

Mejia, who was a passenger in the car, was apparently heading to an airport for a concert in Canada, Lorenz said.

Police searched the Mustang after discovering Asencio’s driver’s license was suspended, Lorenz said.

During the search, police allegedly found multiple individual baggies of cocaine in Mejia’s Gucci purse.
