WHERE ARE THEY NOW: LISA TURTLE

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

So, I know you all remember the young, beautiful Lark Voorhies aka "Lisa Turtle" from the childhood sitcom "Saved By The Bell"; I am still baffled as to what is going on with her these days.

It has been said she had a facelift gone wrong, then I heard her skins is affected by the deadly disease "Lupus".

Currently, she has her own production company called "Yo soy".

Voorhies was engaged to American comedian/actor Martin Lawrence in 1993. On March 9, 1996, she married actor/producer Miguel Coleman. The couple divorced in 2004. Then May 8, 2007 she married Andy Prince; they have one child.

If you do find out more - do update us, whatever it is we do pray she is okay.

Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson - Arrested for Domestic Violence

😮😮😮 Chad arrested for Domestic Violence Over Receipt From Box of Condoms, according to Police...

Wow! NFL player Chad "Ocho Cinco" Johnson was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of domestic violence tonight, according to the Davie (Fla.) Police Department.

Following a complaint made by his new wife Evelyn Lozada, a star of the reality show "Basketball Wives". It is said Chad head-butted Ev during a dispute over a receipt for condoms being found in his car.

A neighbor called police after hearing a heated argument between the Johnsons.

Mrs. Johnson received lacerations to the forehead and was taken to the hospital, Chad claims he accidentally bumped heads with Evelyn. Chad was taken into custody and awaiting a court appearance.

If you remember they were married just early last month and already it seems there is trouble in the camp. Johnson and Lozada were prominent in the recent first episode of HBO's Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Miami Dolphins, where Johnson said Evelyn had withheld sex from him last season.

VH1's Basketball Wives is filmed in Miami and also features Shaunie O'Neal, the former wife of former NBA star Shaquille O'Neal. Lozada used to be the fiancee of NBA player Antoine Walker.

Did we not see this coming? Marques Houston said it best... "Marriage don't change, nothing but your name unless it's real love"

SNEAK PEAK: Rihanna Opens Up To Oprah!

Oprah travels to Barbados for a no-holds-barred conversation with Rihanna.

Rhi-Rhi drove Oprah to visit her neighborhood, she is seen interacting with her Bajans folks. Oprah got to experience the real "Robyn" and not the super-star we all know as "Rihanna".

Oprah said: "I thought she would have been kind of a bad-ass kind of a rocker hard-edge woman ... nothing could have been farther from the truth"

The interview airs on OWN, Sunday 19th, August, at 9 p.m.

During the interview, Rihanna talks about her struggle with fame, and surprisingly still got emotional when asked about her relationship with R&B singer Chris Brown.

Rihanna admitted "It was embarrassing. It was humiliating" saying after the split: "I was resentful. I held a grudge. I was dark" "I lost my best friend."

Brown, pleaded guilty to physically assaulting her in 2009. It has been rumored on many occasions, that the two are still in love and sees each other secretly.

Many all over the world are disappointed that Rihanna even speaks to Chris, let alone sees him.
I guess we will find out if this is so, on Sunday.

Oh No Not Randy: Randy Travis Arrested

Country singer Randy Travis was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.

It is said Travis was found naked at the scene and no other vehicles were involved in the crash.

A Pontiac Trans Am registered to Travis, 53, had driven off a road west of Tioga around midnight Tuesday, said Tom Vinger, spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety.

The vehicle had struck several barricades in a construction zone, according to DPS.

Vinger said Travis made threats against Texas Highway Patrol troopers and was not wearing clothes at the time of his arrest. He refused sobriety tests, Vinger said, so a blood specimen was taken.

Travis was released on $21,500 bond Wednesday morning pending an appearance before a judge in Sherman, about 60 miles north of Dallas. Blood test results are pending.

This mug shot shows Travis with a black eye and cuts he suffered during the crash.
Travis was charged with DWI and retaliation for making the threats. Travis is currently in custody.
