What the Heck Happened To You? What Lost Celebs Look Like Nowadays
How many times have you watched a movie or TV show, or listened to a throwback album and said to yourself or someone else, “I wonder where ___ is…” We’ve done enough of those type of lists with no answer to the question that we think it’s time to find out. And not just find out what certain individuals who we used to jam to and dress like are doing, but what they’re looking like. We get it, people change over time, with some aging better than others. But man, some of these people have gone through a Transformers-esque change over the years. Time to play catch up in gallery form…
Lark Voorhies
As Lisa Turtle on Saved By the Bell, Lark Voorhies had us wanting to dress like her in her fly pastels and always on-point accessories. Although she was one of the only black faces on that show, she definitely stood out for more than her color. After that show ended, you could check Lark making guest appearances on other big television shows like The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Martin and on the soap The Bold and the Beautiful. But as of recently, her roles have dried up. But a few photos surfaced in 2010 of the actress looking paler than usual. Blame it on a horrible foundation choice, or something a lot worse that I won’t say, but Voorhies looks a lot older (and drier) than her 37 years. What’s that about?

Judge Orders Counseling for Halle, Gabriel, and Nahla
A judge has decided to wait for results from the child endangerment investigation being conducted by the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services to address Halle Berry’s request that daughter, Nahla, be kept away from her father, Gabriel Aubry. But he has taken into consideration suggestions put forth by the department which include mediation that would allow a third party to meet with Halle and Gabriel to figure out how they can raise their child peacefully going forward.
Halle is reportedly receptive to the idea, and plans to continue her own individual counseling to deal with this situation, but Gabriel? Not so much. He did agree to go to counseling for his anger issues and both parents said OK to sending their 3-year-old daughter to counseling, but Gabriel is apparently having so much trouble accepting the other recommendations put forth by children’s services that the judge is considering holding a full hearing so that he can issue his own judgements.
So far, no ruling has been issued regarding the nanny Gabriel fired and was allegedly abusive to, but overall things aren’t looking good for him. The more receptive Halle is and the more resistant he is, he just ends up looking like the bad guy to the judge and the public.
Do you think counseling for Halle, Gabriel, and Nahla is a good idea?

WEEKEND WRAP-UP: Best Man 2? Chapelle & Rock Comedy Show? + MORE
That’s a wrap…on this week, that is! We’ve had a pretty full week with celebrity news, Presidential news (the State of the Union) and any other news you can think of. Well, here a few final tidbits as you prepare for the next work week! Don’t forget, I’m always on Twitter (@DrennaB) talking about one thing or another!
Close Call! Actors Who ALMOST Played A Few Surprising Roles…
Before movies make it to the big screen there are numerous negotiations that take place behind the scenes. Some of our favorite characters in movies were very close to being replaced by other actors. Once I see a movie, I can’t even imagine anyone else playing that role. So to hear that some of Hollywood’s breakthrough roles almost went to other actors makes you think, how would the movie have turned out if the producers went with their first choice?
See what actors had a close call!
Baby Daddy Drama: Gabriel Aubry Investigated for Child Endangerment
Gabriel Aubry has issues—legal ones. Halle Berry is reportedly due in court today to request that her child’s father not have any contact with their 3-year-old daughter, Nahla, until said legal issues—an investigation into accusations of child endangerment and assault—are resolved.
Alliance Kamdem, a nanny hired by Gabriel, claims the French-Canadian model repeatedly yelled and cursed at her, often in Nahla’s presence. She also says Gabriel would make her sit in a corner in his condo until he called for her, and that he often yelled at Nahla as well, causing her to become scared and cry. The nanny also alleges that when Nahla had a rash her father refused to treat it; now the the L.A. County Dept. of Children and Family Services has gotten involved and plans to conduct a child endangerment investigation.
On top of all of this, Alliance quit her job last week after Gabriel allegedly shoved her. She also claims he’s yelled racial epithets at her.
The only response Gabriel’s rep has given on the matter is that “Anyone can file a police report at any time, regardless of it being accurate.”
Well, hopefully these accusations aren’t.
Do you think the judge should honor Halle’s request that Gabriel not have contact with Nahla until this mess is cleared up?

Just Kidding…Halle’s Not Getting Married
Somebody’s got some ‘splainin to do because according to TMZ, everybody jumped the gun about Halle Berry getting married to French actor Oliver Martinez.
The emerald ring she’s been wearing on her ring finger is the problem. Oliver bought it for Halle, but according to sources, it is by no means a symbol of their engagement. (Sigh.)
That doesn’t mean it could never happen. The sources added that Halle and Olivier are in a “committed relationship” and marriage “could be in the cards,” but as of right now? It ain’t happenin’. Let’s not forget US Magazine had their own sources who said the couple was going to make it official, though, so let’s see who gets the final word. As long as they’re happy and still together that’s all that really matters.
Are you hoping Halle and Oliver tie the knot?

Congrats! Halle Berry Engaged To French Boo Oliver Martinez
Wow, can we go cliche here and say that third’s time the charm for Halle Berry..well, hopefully. It’s a busy season in Hollywood with mounds of divorce news, engagement news, and baby news making the rounds but this news may steal some wind from Blue Ivy Carter. US Weekly is reporting that Halle Berry got engaged over the weekend to actor Oliver Martinez whom she met on the set of “Dark Tide.” Martinez proposed with an emerald-and-diamond ring from Gurhan.The couple have been dating since 2010.
This will be the third marriage for Halle Berry who turned 45 last August. She was married to former baseball player David Justice for four years, beginning in 1993, and was married to singer Eric Benet in 2001. That marriage lasted for two years and dissolved due to his acts of infidelity. We all know about Berry’s well-documented struggles with love. She’s suffered from domestic abuse and a husband who claimed to have sex addiction. Yes, we’re talking about you Mr. Benet.
Berry also had a long five year relationship with model Gabriel Aubry, which spawned daughter Nahla three years ago. Does the fact that Berry is engaged to Martinez after a less-than-two-year courtship say anything about her relationship with Aubry which was longer and more involved with baby Nahla?
There are no reports on whether Martinez, 45, has had any children but he has dated a string of high profile celebs including Mira Sorvino and singer Kylie Minogue.
