Lee Daniels Pays Sean Penn's Legal Fees

Lee Daniels Pays Sean Penn $10M

Lee Daniels has to put his money where his mouth is.

The Empire co-creator will have to pay Sean Penn $10 million dollars for the statements he made in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. 

Daniels came to the defense of Empire’s leading man, Terrance Howard, by stating, ‘He ain’t done nothing different than Marlon Brando or Sean Penn, and all of a sudden he’s some f—in’ demon. That’s a sign of the time, of race, of where we are right now in America.’

Sean Penn slapped him with a defamation lawsuit shortly after.

Damn.

Lee tried to get the case moved to federal court, but eventually backed out and decided to pay Sean Penn’s pricey lawyer fees.

Huge price to pay, but these celebrities don’t play when it comes to their reputation.

Kelly Rowland Needed Her Son After Filming ‘Empire’ Scenes 

We love to hear Kelendria gush about her baby boy.

In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Kelly Rowland revealed that her son brought her back to the light after filming dark scenes for Empire.

On the show, the Destiny’s Child alum plays Lucious’ mentally unstable mother. In one dramatic scene, Mama Lyons forces baby Lucious into a bathtub for a crazy makeshift baptism.

After they wrapped the scene, Rowland needed her son to lift herself back up.

She explains, ‘[My son] came on set my last scene that I shot. It was a really tough scene and was a tough day for me just emotionally because I was really playing Leah to the fullest. I needed Titan afterwards. At first I was a little nervous about being with him afterwards, but I remember my husband surprised me with him and as soon as I saw Titan’s face I was me again and it was awesome.’

After the tragic loss of her mother right after the birth of her son, we love to see that baby Titan can bring so much joy to Kelly’s life.

 Nurse Who Cared For Bobbi Kristina Was A Fraud

This is so troubling.

Taiwo Sobamowo, a nurse who was employed to care for Bobbi Kristina while she was in hospice, is facing identity fraud and nursing without a license charges.

Using a stolen RN’s license number, Sobamowo impersonated a medical professional at Peachtree Christian Hospice in Duluth, where the only child of Whitney Houston spent her last days.

Questions were raised in September when authorities were tipped off that there may be a discrepancy in Sobamowo’s reported identity.

According to The Associated Press, Homestead Hospice CEO Mallie Sharafat said the company performed a background check and reviewed references from other health care agencies in the area.

“We had no reason to believe that she was anything other than a good nurse with proper credentials,” Sharafat wrote. “As soon as the credentialing discrepancy was discovered by one of our employees, we immediately took action and notified the appropriate authorities.”

As of now, the police report does not mention if Brown’s care was affected by Sobamowo’s presence, but the case is still being investigated.
