Wyclef was paying his mistress, Zakiya Khatou-Chevassus, $105,000 as an independent contractor with the Yele charity donations back in 2008.

<p>Wyclef was paying his mistress, Zakiya Khatou-Chevassus, $105,000 as an independent contractor with the Yele charity donations back in 2008.<span id="more-12451"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>So what did she do for that money? Zakiya Khatou-Chevassus is currently listed on Yele’s <span style="color: #ffffff;"><a id="KonaLink0" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://bossip.com/225915/aint-that-a-btch-wyclef-jean-caked-his-mistress-with-the-yele-haiti-funds-105k-to-be-exact/#" target="undefined"><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 14.4px; position: static;"><span class="kLink" style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 14.4px; position: relative; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Verdana,sans-serif;">web </span><span class="kLink" style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 14.4px; position: relative; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Verdana,sans-serif;">site</span></span></a></span> as the organization’s vice president. But according to five sources familiar with Yele’s operations, in 2008 she served as Jean’s personal assistant—working on his commercial endeavors as well as his charitable ones—and was involved romantically with the former Fugees star.</p>
<p>“She worked for Wyclef on all Wyclef matters,” says one source who has worked with Jean in the past. “She did whatever Wyclef needed that day, whether it was related to Yele or not. She would do things like book flights, and she wasn’t very good at it. It’s a shame that she made that much money.” The source said Khatou-Chevassus’ salary amounted to more than three times what Suzie Sylvain, Yele Haiti’s dedicated program director who is credited by many Yele Haiti insiders with actually keeping the organization running, was paid.</p>
<p>“Everyone knows they were in a relationship,” says another source familiar with Yele Haiti. “A dozen people, including me, saw and knew. It wasn’t a secret.” Jean is married, but he has said in the past that he has an open relationship with his wife.</p>
<p>Jean has a long history of using Yele Haiti’s money for his own commercial gain. In 2005, 2006, and 2007, the foundation paid out a total of $410,000 to commercial entities controlled in whole or in part by Wyclef, including a whopping $250,000 for advertising time on a Haitian television station he co-owns. In 2006, he demanded a $100,000 fee to perform at a Yele Haiti fundraiser designed to raise money for his own hometown.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>50 Cent</strong> was chillin’ in Copenhagen, Denmark this weekend, his bodyguard got a little too frisky for his own good. When the Danish paparazzi were waiting outside a hotel for 50 to come out, bodyguard wasn’t trying to play that ish. And the attack was all caught on video.<span id="more-12450"></span></p>
<p>After telling the paps to beat it, and they didn’t, dude went crazy on their asses and choked up one of the paps. He then broke into two of the photographers cars after chasing them down the street, stole and broke their cameras, and physically tried to body the paps.</p>
<p>A little while later, the bodyguard was arrested for assault and theft.  One of the attacked paps Nikoloj Vraar told <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2010/03/13/2010-03-13_50_cents_bodyguard_arrested_for_assaulting_photographers_outside_hotel_in_copenh.html#ixzz0i7qHUCoh" target="_blank">the press</a> Saturday:</p>
<p><em>“I feared for my life. One of 50 Cent’s bodyguards came out and told us to leave. The next thing I knew, he grabs my throat and tried to strangle me. He cut off my airway, and I couldn’t breathe,” he added. “He took my camera and deleted photos.”</em></p>
<p>“The bodyguard was arrested,” said Vraar, who is editor-in-chief for MSN Star Lounge.</p>
<p>He was taken to Copenhagen hospital to be checked out by doctors and said his next stop would be the police precinct.</p>

<p>Joshua Clottey may have been bigger, but that was his only edge on Saturday night. Manny Pacquiao clearly outworked Clottey, outpunching him four, five and even six to one at times in winning a wide decision before a standing room-only crowd of 50,994 at Cowboys Stadium.<span id="more-12448"></span></p>
<p>Pacquiao punished Clottey with combinations to the body throughout in winning the unanimous decision to retain his World Boxing Organization welterweight title and his status as the world’s finest boxer.</p>
<p>It was no contest as Clottey simply kept his guard high and rarely threw punches. According to CompuBox, Pacquiao landed 246 of 1,231 punches; Clottey connected on just 108 of 399.</p>
<p>Pacquiao took advantage by using his blazing hand speed to rip through Clottey’s gloves and land hard, punishing shots.</p>
<p>He made the former champion wince several times as he fired off hard combinations at Clottey’s midsection.</p>
<p>Despite the exhortations in the corner of trainer Lenny DeJesus, Clottey never opened up and fought aggressively. He was backed up all night and, except for an occasional shot, never did much to Pacquiao.</p>
<p>It was another virtuoso performance for the Filipino superstar who has won titles or has claimed the linear championship in seven different weight classes. Pacquiao is on a collision course with unbeaten rival Floyd Mayweather Jr., who fights Shane Mosley on May 1.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.bilalaliproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/tonywashingtoncombine.jpg"><img class="attachment wp-att-12445 " src="http://www.bilalaliproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/tonywashingtoncombine.jpg" alt="" width="249" height="382" align="left" /></a></p>
<p>An offensive tackle from a small Division II Christian school, Tony Washington went to Indianapolis virtually unknown. After top performances at the NFL Combine, the Abilene Christian standout has seen his draft stock climb as high as the second round. But he bears the burden of a troubled past – one that’s causing some NFL teams to think twice. <span id="more-12444"></span></p>
<p>Washington is a registered sex offender.</p>
<p>Until now, he has not publicly addressed the specifics of his situation, but in a statement provided exclusively to SportsFanLive.com, he confirmed what is likely to haunt him for the rest of his life.</p>
<p>“I made a mistake at the age of 16, and for that, I am deeply sorry,” Washington said. “I will not try and excuse or justify anything. I have worked extremely hard to do everything right so that I might have an opportunity to give back. I only hope that someone in the NFL will give me the same opportunity that Abilene Christian and Trinity Valley gave me.”</p>
<p>In May 2003, Washington was convicted of having sex with a relative that multiple NFL and college sources say was his 15-year old biological sister. The act was consensual, according to his college coaches and two NFL scouts, who spoke to him about the incident. The sister does not wish to speak publicly on the case, according to Washington’s agent, who added that the siblings are now on good terms and talk often. Washington received five years probation and did not serve jail time.</p>
<p>Due to the nature of the crime and Washington’s status as a juvenile, records specifically related to the crime itself could not be obtained in requests made to both the Texas Department of Public</p>
<p><img src="http://www.sportsfanlive.com/roller/sflreports/resource/TonyWashingtonRegistered3.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Safety and the New Orleans Police Department. But if this had been &#8220;sexual assault,&#8221; Washington’s report on the sex-offender registry would have listed a different offense.</p>
<p>Inside the interview rooms at the Combine, scouts questioned him at length about his past. Some are willing to give him a chance. After all, Washington had the best broad jump among offensive lineman at 9 feet, 6 inches and the sixth-best time in the three-cone drill. Despite that talent, other scouts may not be so forgiving.</p>
<p>Trinity Valley Community College coach Mark Sartain faced the same challenge back in 2005, when he met Washington, then a high school senior.</p>
<p>“He e-mailed me several times asking for an opportunity to play and finally sent me a grainy tape,” Sartain said. “You could barely see him in it.”</p>
<p>The only evidence of his potential as a football player was the massive 6-7, 300-pound frame he carried. Everything else, including his home, was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.</p>
<p>“Katrina was a total disruption of his life and his high school career,” said Sartain, a coaching veteran of 26 years and father of two, who now heads up the football program at East Texas Baptist University.</p>
<p>Then Washington told him: “Coach, there’s something you need to know.”</p>
<p>Although it was unsettling, Washington’s confession did not cause Sartain to shy away from his young recruit. In fact, because Washington volunteered the information, Sartain realized “this young man deserves a second chance.”</p>
<p>The product of what Sartain calls a “dysfunctional” family, Washington arrived in Athens, Texas, with emotional needs that had long been neglected. “I don’t want to say he was emotionally ‘crippled,’ but with that traumatic time in his life, he skipped a phase, so to speak, in his emotional development,” the coach said.</p>
<p>His unique situation required authorities in both New Orleans and Texas to accept his transfer of residence, something law enforcement officials in his home state of Louisiana initially refused to do. It meant Sartain and his staff had to jump through hoops to get Tony into their program.</p>
<p>“They were ignoring him and not returning calls because they didn’t want to deal with him,” Sartain said. “We had to fight for a couple weeks to get that whole thing done.”</p>

<p>Set against a backdrop of their peers and taking place in a world and a society slow to grasp the change in the gender landscape, “T” is an unprecedented and unflinching look deep into the souls and lives of these women of courage and self determination, women who, just like so many others, long for the promise of the American dream but so often find that promise unfulfilled – whether by choice or circumstance.</p>
<p>Some choose sex work, others work 9 – 5. Some are going to school, while others learn from the streets. “T” will take us into the lives of these women at a time when so much is possible for transsexual women and yet so much seems out of reach. It’s a time of hope, but also of frustration. It’s a time where some will rise and, sadly, some will fall. It’s a time whose time has come.</p>

Corey Haim&#8217;s death is linked to an &#8220;illegal and massive prescription-drug ring,&#8221; California Attorney General Jerry Brown said Friday.

<p>Corey Haim&#8217;s death is linked to an &#8220;illegal and massive prescription-drug ring,&#8221; California Attorney General Jerry Brown said Friday.<span id="more-12438"></span></p>
<p>Brown&#8217;s office is investigating &#8220;an unauthorized prescription under the former child star&#8217;s name that was found during an ongoing investigation of fraudulent prescription-drug pads ordered from a vendor in San Diego.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;These prescriptions are very recent, and it involves Oxycontin and we&#8217;re not talking just 40 pills, more than that,&#8221; Brown said in an interview Friday with CNN Radio.</p>
<p>The announcement comes before the coroner has ruled on what killed Haim, the 1980s teen movie actor who struggled for decades with drug addiction.</p>
<p>Haim, 38, died early Wednesday after collapsing in the Los Angeles apartment he shared with his mother, authorities said.</p>
<p>&#8220;Corey Haim&#8217;s death is yet another tragedy linked to the growing problem of prescription-drug abuse,&#8221; Brown said. &#8220;This problem is increasingly linked to criminal organizations, like the illegal and massive prescription-drug ring under investigation.&#8221;</p>
<p>Brown said the ring uses stolen doctor&#8217;s identities to order prescription-drug pads that are used to write counterfeit prescriptions.</p>
<p>&#8220;The doctor whose name is printed on the form is usually unaware that his or her identity has been stolen for this purpose,&#8221; Brown said.</p>
<p>Haim got two powerful drugs from a pharmacy 11 days before his death, according to a source with knowledge of the transaction.</p>
<p>His primary-care doctor did not know about the prescriptions and called the pharmacy two days later to find out what Haim had been given, the source said.</p>
<p>Brown&#8217;s announcement did not specify whether any of the prescription drugs found in Haim&#8217;s apartment after his death were illegally obtained.</p>
<p>Several prescription-drug bottles were taken from Haim&#8217;s apartment, Los Angeles County Deputy Coroner Ed Winter said Friday.</p>
<p>Although the bottles indicated the drugs included Vicodin, Valium and Soma, no tests have been done to confirm what they are, he said.</p>
<p>Haim had a prescription for the muscle relaxer Soma and the narcotic pain reliever Norco filled at a pharmacy on February 26, a source with knowledge of the transaction said.</p>
<p>Two days after Haim personally picked up the drugs, his primary-care doctor called the San Fernando Valley pharmacy to ask about the prescriptions, the source said.</p>
<p>The doctor said that &#8220;Haim was not feeling well&#8221; and he needed to know what drugs had been prescribed for the actor, the source said.</p>
<p>The source, who worked at the pharmacy, asked not to be identified because his employer had not authorized him to talk.</p>
<p>Haim&#8217;s manager, Mark Heaslip, and close friend Corey Feldman both said Haim began seeing an addiction specialist two weeks before his death.</p>
<p>Tiffany Shepis, who was engaged to be married to Haim last May, said on HLN&#8217;s &#8220;Issues With Jane Velez-Mitchell&#8221; that he was taking large amounts of Valium and Vicodin during their yearlong relationship.</p>
<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re talking about a person that, at the time when I knew him, you know, was ingesting 40 some-odd pills a day,&#8221; Shepis said.</p>
<p>Although the autopsy showed Haim&#8217;s heart was enlarged and he had fluid in his lungs, the coroner&#8217;s chief investigator said a drug overdose has not been ruled out as the cause of the actor&#8217;s death.</p>
<p>&#8220;You can have somebody with an enlarged heart and some other medical conditions, but you don&#8217;t know if the actual cause of death is from illegal substances, medication or heart failure,&#8221; Los Angeles County Deputy Coroner Ed Winter said Friday.</p>
<p>Heaslip said the enlarged heart was evidence that Haim&#8217;s death was not caused by a drug overdose, but Winter disputed that.</p>
<p>&#8220;There were some preliminary findings and we agreed to let the mother know what those were,&#8221; Winter said. &#8220;It was explained to her that even though this is some preliminary findings that the doctor observed, there wouldn&#8217;t be a final cause of death until the final toxicology tests are back.&#8221;</p>
<p>The cause of death may not be determined for another six weeks, Winter said.</p>
<p>Feldman, a longtime friend and frequent co-star, asked Wednesday that people not &#8220;jump the gun&#8221; to conclude a drug overdose killed Haim.</p>
<p>Heaslip, manager to both Feldman and Haim, said Haim had seemed to be winning his battle against drug abuse in the weeks before his death.</p>
<p>Haim was &#8220;weaned down to literally zero medications&#8221; by an addiction specialist in the two weeks before his death, Heaslip said.</p>
<p>The doctor &#8220;put him on a new line of medications,&#8221; Feldman said on CNN&#8217;s &#8220;Larry King Live&#8221; Wednesday.</p>
<p>Haim&#8217;s death came as his career was picking up, with Haim booking &#8220;movie after movie,&#8221; Heaslip said. His latest film is set for release soon, he said.</p>
<p>Haim&#8217;s most famous role was in the 1987 movie &#8220;The Lost Boys,&#8221; in which he appeared with Feldman. Haim played the role of a fresh-faced teenager whose brother becomes a vampire.</p>
<p>In later years, the two friends, who appeared in eight movies together, struggled with drug abuse and went their separate ways. They reunited for a reality show, &#8220;The Two Coreys,&#8221; in 2007, but A&amp;E Network canceled the program after slightly more than a year.</p>
<p>In a 2007 interview on CNN&#8217;s &#8220;Larry King Live,&#8221; Haim and Feldman discussed their battles with drugs. Feldman told King that he had gotten clean, but it took Haim longer.</p>
<p>Haim called himself &#8220;a chronic relapser for the rest of my life.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I think I have an <a class="cnnInlineTopic" href="http://topics.cnn.com/topics/Addiction_and_Recovery">addiction</a> to pretty much everything,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I mean, I have to be very careful with myself as far as that goes, which is why I have a support group around me consistently.&#8221;</p>
<p>Haim was born December 23, 1971, in Toronto, Ontario, according to a biography on his Web site. He made his first television appearance in 1982 on the Canadian series &#8220;The Edison Twins.&#8221; His first film role was in the 1984 American movie &#8220;First Born.&#8221;</p>
<p>Haim also won rave reviews for his title role in the 1986 film &#8220;Lucas.&#8221; Film critic Roger Ebert said of him at the time, &#8220;If he continues to act this well, he will never become a half-forgotten child star, but will continue to grow into an important actor.&#8221;</p>
<p class="cnnInline">After &#8220;The Lost Boys,&#8221; <a class="cnnInlineTopic" href="http://topics.cnn.com/topics/Corey_Haim">Haim</a> and Feldman appeared in &#8220;License to Drive&#8221; and &#8220;Dream a Little Dream.&#8221;</p>

<p>After a year-long romance, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Jamie Kennedy have broken up, a rep has confirmed exclusively to PEOPLE.</p>
<p>No further details were available.  <span id="more-12435"></span></p>
<p>Though some in the blogosphere called them an unlikely couple, Kennedy and Hewitt regularly gushed over each other.</p>
<p>When Kennedy first confirmed the romance in March 2009, he told <a href="http://www.people.com/people/ryan_seacrest">Ryan Seacrest</a> during a radio interview, &#8220;I&#8217;m in love!&#8221; Describing his costar on <em>Ghost Whisperer</em>, Kennedy said: &#8220;It&#8217;s like, &#8216;Wow, you are hot. You can sing, you can dance, you&#8217;re like, so smart and, wow, you can cook pasta fagioli, too.&#8217; &#8221;</p>
<p>Hewitt called her beau &#8220;hilarious,&#8221; but praised him as more than just a funnyman. &#8220;There are people in your life who are just supportive and who just look at you and they see who you are,&#8221; Hewitt <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20274108,00.html">told Ellen DeGeneres</a> last year. &#8220;And [Jamie] really saw who I was as a person more than anybody had ever done in my whole life. I think that&#8217;s for me when I sort of went, &#8216;Oh, wow.&#8217; &#8220;<!-- end --></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.bilalaliproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/storyalcalaafter.jpg"><img class="attachment wp-att-12437 " src="http://www.bilalaliproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/storyalcalaafter.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="169" align="left" /></a></p>
<p>Dozens of tips have poured in after California authorities released more than 100 photos of women and children on Thursday that are believed to have been taken by a serial killer who appeared on the &#8220;Dating Game.&#8221;<span id="more-12436"></span></p>
<p>Police determined Friday that two female minors in the pictures, taken in the 1970s, are alive and well. They have received tips on a handful of other women who could be dead or missing, according to Patrick Ellis, a detective with the Huntington Beach Police Department.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve received several calls saying that someone in a photo could be so-and-so who&#8217;s been missing or found dead,&#8221; Ellis said Friday. &#8220;The response has been overwhelming, and that&#8217;s what we were looking for.&#8221;</p>
<p>Investigators are trying to determine whether any of the people in the photos were victims of Rodney Alcala, 66, who was convicted in February of kidnapping and murdering a 12-year-old girl and raping and murdering four Los Angeles County women in the 1970s. A jury this week recommended he be sentenced to death.</p>
<p>Ellis said police received tips on as many as four dead or missing women who were identified by other people calling and e-mailing about the photos.</p>
<p>&#8220;People are saying that they recognize someone from their past, from school or college or the neighborhood beach,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>The two women who identified themselves from the photos on Friday were minors at the time the pictures were taken and are now in their 40s, Ellis said. Police are not releasing their identities, though Ellis said they live in California.</p>
<p>Huntington Beach Police are contacting law enforcement authorities across the country with information about dead or missing women who were identified by people calling or e-mailing on Friday, Ellis said. He stressed that police have not confirmed that any of the women or children in the photos are dead or missing.</p>
<p>The portrait-style photographs were discovered in a storage unit Alcala kept in Seattle, Washington, said Orange County district attorney spokeswoman Susan Kang Schroeder. The locker also contained earrings that belonged to Robin Samsoe, the 12-year-old girl whom Alcala abducted and killed in 1979.</p>
<p>The discovery of the earring in the locker has raised speculation that there may be other victims or that the photographs were trophies to Alcala, she said.</p>
<p>&#8220;We know that Mr. Alcala used his photography as a ruse to get close to his victims,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>Authorities already believe that Alcala may be responsible for deaths in New York, Schroeder said.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s very possible,&#8221; Schroeder said. &#8220;Mr. Alcala is a predatory monster and we believe that he destroyed many lives everywhere he went.&#8221;</p>
<p>Alcala was convicted in 1972 of kidnapping and molesting a child in Los Angeles County in 1968, according to the Orange County District Attorney&#8217;s office. After serving a 34-month sentence, he was released.</p>
<p>In 1978, Alcala appeared as a &#8220;Bachelor No. 1&#8243; on &#8220;The Dating Game.&#8221;</p>
<p>Jed Mills, who played &#8220;Bachelor No. 2,&#8221; said he had an almost immediate aversion to Alcala.</p>
<p>&#8220;Something about him, I could not be near him,&#8221; Mills recalled. &#8220;I am kind of bending toward the other guy to get away from him, and I don&#8217;t know if I did that consciously. But thinking back on that, I probably did.&#8221;</p>
<p>But Alcala succeeded in charming Bachelorette Cheryl Bradshaw from the other side of the &#8220;Dating Game&#8221; wall. But she declined her date with Alcala.</p>
<p class="cnnInline">Anyone with information regarding the identities of the women and children in the photographs found in Alcala&#8217;s storage locker is asked to contact the Orange County District Attorney&#8217;s Office or the Huntington Beach Police Department.</p>
