As recently as two weeks ago, sources reported that the couple was spending time together. But the judge made it clear that a violation of her ruling could send Brown to state prison.

In fact, Brown was ordered to stay 100 yards away from Rihanna unless they are attending “music industry events.”

Further facts show that the February incident was not the first domestic violence episode between the two singers. In addition to the sentencing, Brown must also attend a year of counseling. Let’s hope it helps.

So in a new single released by Eminem, entitled ‘Warning,’ Eminem attempts to set things straight. He threatens to reveal nude pictures and phone messages Mariah allegedly sent to him during their brief relationship. He also disses Mariah’s new husband, Nick Cannon, for having labeled his career as one that thrives on hate.

No arguments here. Eminem is clearly an artist with a lot of anger, anger that’s curiously directed only at Mickey Mouse celebrities. Ever hear Eminem diss DMX or Jay Z?

Didn’t think so. I guess in Eminem’s world everyone should care that he had a sexual encounter with Mariah and that she chose to lie about it. Aren’t there worse things to get riled up about, Em? Clearly the two artists have something in common as far as their careers lacking relevance.

I know, ouch.

Sources say producers wanted Abdul to return in a smaller capacity than she was accustomed to - and she refused.

On the other hand, Perez Hilton reports that Abdul will definitely return, but at a lesser pay scale than desired.

Geez/Louise! At this point I’m beginning to wonder if even Paula knows what she’s going to do. And does anyone really care?

Stay tuned. There’s bound to be more as the season hasn’t yet begun.

After getting over the shock (Mom asked, “Scott who?”), her family members have welcomed the news - and Scott - with open arms.

It’s no secret there was no love lost between Disick and the Kardashian women (have you SEEN the show?), but babies are powerful little people and it would seem, at the moment anyhow, that bygones are bygones and everyone’s looking forward to the arrival of the little bundle of joy.

Next up for Baby K: World Peace.

Clearly, Leno’s taking no prisoners and making it known he is still the king. Leno also says his show, which will also feature up-and-coming comedians, will also reflect America’s diversity and not “a bunch of white guys doing standup.” Sounds like the show to watch…and I can still make it to work the next morning.

Win-win, Jay. Win-win.

A hearty Congratulations is in order for Oscar and Grammy-award-winning actress/singer Jennifer Hudson and fiancé David Daniel Otunga, on the recent birth of their brand-spankin’-new baby boy, named after his father.

The Junior David weighed in at a healthy 7 pounds, 14 ounces and is described by Ms. Hudson’s publicist Lisa Kasteler as “beautiful and perfect.” The latest development is a welcome event in the life of both parents, but particularly to Ms. Hudson, who experienced tragedy in fall 2008 when her mother, brother and nephew were brutally slain. Congratulations again to both parents!
