Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's Emergency Surgery a Success

On the mend? Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is healing Superman-fast after emergency surgery.  Wearing a Superman shirt, the Pain & Gain star Tweeted a photo of himself in his hospital bed after having surgery Monday to repair torn abductor and abdomen muscles suffered in his WWE Champion title fight against winner John Cena.  "Surgery a success! Dr. repaired 3 hernial tears (fun pain). Superman is on the mend," Johnson wrote.  The April 7 match, watched by 80,000 people at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, was apparently tough on the action star, 40. The operation caused Johnson to miss the Pain & Gain premiere in Los Angeles where director Michael Bay issued his well-wishes from the red carpet. 

Allen Iverson Wants a New Judge in Divorce Case

Allen Iverson refuses to get screwed over while he goes through a divorce, claiming the judge currently on his case isn’t fair. His camp says the judge does unethical legal favors for campaign contributors and doesn’t want the same results Usher’s wife was forced to endure. Iverson filed a motion last month, asking for the judge to recuse herself from the case, alleging that she’s accepted campaign donations from his estranged wife’s attorney. Besides that, the judge has a particularly shady track record. Incidentally, Usher’s attorney, during that brutally ugly divorce between the singer and Tameka Raymond, is now the rep for Iverson’s ex.  Allen Iverson may have been great on the ball court, but as a father, he straight up sucks. That’s the conclusion an Atlanta judge who signed off on his divorce from Tawanna Iverson, the mother of his five children, came to. In the final divorce decree, the judge goes off on Iverson, saying: “[Iverson] does not know how to manage the children; has little interest in learning to manage the children and has actually, at times, been a hindrance to their spiritual and emotional growth and development. For example, he has refused to attend to an obvious and serious alcohol problem, which has caused him to do inappropriate things in the presence of the children while impaired. He has left the children alone without supervision. He has left his young daughters in a hotel room with men who are unknown to the mother.”  The judge has awarded Tawanna legal and physical custody of the kids. Allen has some visitation rights, but only if he abides by certain conditions. Among them, the former NBA star must NOT drink a drop of alcohol for the next 18 months. And there’s more: until all of his kids become adults [18+], he can’t consume alcohol within 24 hours of the times he has the kids. Iverson’s also been ordered to see a shrink and attend AA meetings for a year.

No Pre Nup No RHOA Wedding 

Yes, NeNe and Gregg Leakes are in love again, about to get re-married, but now the relationship is being tested because the reality star made it very clear that she wants a pre-nup. the “very rich” woman is getting a prenuptial agreement because, as she’s indicated several times, she’s got that money and doesn’t want any man taking over her fortune. Besides that, she’s gotten a hefty raise for the new season of “Real Housewives of Atlanta.” Just in case you wanted to know, she’ll be making $1M, not including bonuses. So of course a woman’s got to have her fail-proof plan. “If it doesn’t work out she wants him to walk away only with what he’s bringing into it,” a source close to the family said.“She says she earned what she’s got by her­self, and is demanding Gregg sign a prenup or there won’t be a wedding.” In the meantime, the planning continues. Cynthia Bailey will be in the wedding, along with Laura Govan as bridesmaids. NeNe recently announced her bridal party via Twitter: “I love mybridesmaids @CynthiaBailey10 @iheartMarlo @LauraMGovan  @iamjennifer @dianagowins @thablondebomb @LEXISIS1@StylesbyPat @dawnienla.”

Will.i.am admits to copyright breach on Chris Brown collaboration 

Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas is embroiled in a copyright dispute after Russian DJ Arty accused the artist of stealing the beat for his Chris Brown collaboration "Let's Go." Earlier this month, Arty took to Twitter to complain that Will.i.am, whose real name is William Adams, had used parts of "Rebound," Arty's song with producer Mat Zo, without permission. Adams, 38, spoke to radio station KIIS-FM about the kerfuffle, admitting that he used "Rebound" as the basis of "Let's Go." "Arty is a dope producer, so I wrote this song to 'Rebound' this last year," Adams said. "I got in touch with Arty and showed it ( to) him, did a different version to it cause I asked him to make it newer 'cause I don't just wanna take your song and rap over it. But in a year's time, time's gone by, (and) we preferred writing over and using the (original) 'Rebound.' "Something happened (with) the clearance," Adams continued. "Hopefully, we resolved the issue." "I'm a fan of Arty. I think he's great and the world needs to know about how talented those guys are," Adams added. "It's sad that's turned into a fiasco."

Sharon Osbourne 'Devastated' By Ozzy Relapse, Denies Divorce Rumors

Sharon Osbourne wasn't happy about husband Ozzy Osbourne's recent drug relapse,
 but after decades standing by his side through his struggles and demons, she's not walking away now. At least that's what she said on Tuesday on her syndicated chat show "The Talk." Osbourne told her audience that she didn't know Ozzy was using prescription drugs, but that she caught on to his drinking, which she thought was just occasional. "It's our business. We're dealing with it," she said. "We're not getting divorced." Saying that Ozzy's Facebook post about his 18-month prescription drug and alcohol relapse said it all, Sharon lashed out at the tabloid reporting that has claimed the pair were splitting up, among other things. "Everything that was printed in the tabloids has been...distorted," she said. "There's always a little seed of truth to everything that gets reported, but then it gets very distorted ... He's been in a very dark place. That's true, it's very true ... everybody knows he's been struggling with this his entire life." The nearly two-minute segment ended with her saying they weren't splitting, but adding, "However, am I happy? No. Am I upset? Yes, I am. I'm devastated right now. It's a disease that not only hurts the person that has the disease but it hurts the family, it hurts people who love you. We're dealing with it, we've dealt with worse and we will deal with it and this too shall pass." Her fortitude earned applause from her co-panelists and the audience, but never the victim, Osbourne ended her segment with one of her legendary warnings. "Otherwise," she said, "my husband will be taken to hospital to get my foot removed from his arse." Ozzy is slated to kick off the Australian tour in support of his first album with Black Sabbath in 35 years, 13, on Thursday night in Brisbane.
