REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA PHADERA PARKS HUSBAND APOLLO NIDA ARRESTED FOR BANK FRAUD

Once again it proves, once a criminal always a criminal. This is a cautionary tale ladies when you date a convicted felon you most likely will pick up his rap sheet.  Forget the drama on the small screen, behind the scenes the Real Housewives Of Atlanta is even more dramatic.

On Thursday, star Phaedra Parks’ husband, Apollo Nida father of two, was reportedly questioned by US Marshals in Atlanta, Georgia and charged with bank fraud and identity theft. Apollo - who often appears on his wife's reality show - appeared before US District Court on Thursday in downtown Atlanta. The U.S. District Judge Gerrilyn G. Brill released Nida on a pretrial bond of $25,000. A preliminary hearing is set for Feb. 12, 2014.
If you recall, Nida served time in federal prison for altering VIN numbers on vehicles and other sundry criminal activities. His wife, Phaedra, represented him in that case. 

This is significant because he is currently on state parole in Georgia, and due to the seriousness of his crime the charges usually trigger a state parole violation unless he is cooperating with the government. According to Access Atlanta, Apollo was investigated by the Secret Service's Counterfeit and U.S. Treasury Check Squad.
According to the site - who apparently obtained the complaint against the reality star - Apollo allegedly, 'created fake companies, enabling him to access databases to find individuals to rip off'. 'He opened fake bank accounts under those real names and funneled stolen U.S. Treasury checks and auto loan proceeds into those accounts.'
Nida would allegedly steal real people’s identities and have his partner St. Julien pretend to be them to open bank accounts. 
'She would then deposit fraudulent auto loan checks, stolen U.S. Treasury checks, stolen retirement checks issued to Delta Airlines employees, and checks in the names of real people that were owed unclaimed property from various state and federal government agencies.'
The site also said the complaint against the star claimed he opened a fake auto dealership and applied for auto loans in the names of stolen identities. 
 Is the government planning to prosecute his wife, Phaedra, as well? How much did Phaedra really know? Remember what that book author Angela Stanton said about her?  Is Kendra Moore right shady Pha Pha?

BABY DADDY OF 4 EX-NFL STAR TERRELL OWENS MARRIES POSTAL WORKER AT THE COURT HOUSE

Apparently he's got mail!  After a very short engagement, former NLF star Terrell Owens secretly married his postal worker bride at a Norwalk, Calif. courthouse on Thursday, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

Owens, 40, and Rachel Snider, 33, tied the knot in front of one witness and both wore blue, an insider tells Radar.
According to Bleacher Report, Rachel Snider is the bride-to-be.

Owens received a marriage license from Los Angeles and it’s valid until April 8, which means… a spring wedding for sure!

But Snider is NOT one of Owens four mothers of his children or how many people like affectionately say, “baby mamas”.
Owens has faced much public and media scrutiny over his many baby mamas, children and child support drama, which he paid off in 2012. Well, at least one of his children’s mothers didn’t bash him.Baby mama number four wrote in a letter, “As the mother of Terrell Owens’ youngest child, Atlin, I have watched and listened to the public and media conversation about my son’s father throughout the past several years. I have heard both the positive and the “less than favorable things” said about the one who calls himself [B]“T.O.”[/B] watching his rise and fall in the public spotlight.”
She continued with, “By no stretch of the imagination have I been happy with Terrell’s past actions as it relates to my son. To see Terrell rise to the levels he did, yet not find it within himself to meet and develop a relationship with his son because of his so call “resentment toward me” and other excuses, to me is somewhere between immature, ridiculous and inexcusable. But I did not “put him on blast” in the media or go public with my story for a number of reasons. Primarily because…regardless of how I felt about his father’s actions, Terrell is still his father.”
Could Snider just be joining the club of baby mamas or is she the one he marries and settles down with?

JUSTIN BIEBER ARRESTED FOR DUI

Troubled singer is doing what he does best these days....that's staying in trouble.  The pop superstar was arrested for DUI and drag racing in Miami Beach on Thursday.  We bet he really think he's gangsta now since he's been in jail?
According to TMZ, the 19-year-old singer was leaving a club in his rented Lamborghini when he was pulled over by cops around 4 a.m. on Thursday morning. He was given a field sobriety test and failed.
 Justin Bieber was in a bright yellow rented Lamborghini in Miami Beach. The star, who was pictured with model Chantal Jeffries center, and his friends reportedly used their cars to block off a street so the 19-year-old and a young rapper could race. The singer was allegedly incoherent and resisted arrest when police officers surrounded his car. He remains in custody today.

 Bieber is currently in custody and is being tested to measure his blood alcohol level. Next, he will be taken to jail where he will be booked, processed, and bail will be set.

He’s been seen around Miami this week, visiting the beach, a skate shop, and King of Diamonds gentlemen’s club, where he reportedly dropped $75,000.

Earlier this month, he made headlines for egging his neighbor’s house. Police raided his Calabasas mansion and arrested his friend Lil Za for drug possession.

VIDEO: KANYE WEST SHOWS OFF HIS NEW A.P.C. COLLECTION ON FRENCH SHOW 'LE GRAND JOURNAL'


We must say he always seem a little and we mean a little bit happier when he's in Paris. So between his visit to the Givenchy show and scouting wedding locations with Kim Kardashian, Kanye West stopped by French talk show “Le Grand Journal” during Paris Fashion Week. Accompanied by A.P.C. founder Jean Touitou, the rapper-turned-designer discussed collaborating on his second men’s capsule collection with the French brand.
“I just love creativity across the board, like architecture, art,” said Kanye. “I think I’m addicted to dreams. Clothing or stage design or an album, it’s all an art project.”
The show also aired footage of a very hands-on Kanye working on the autumn/winter collection, which includes denim, fur-lined army jackets, combat pants, and balaclavas.

Kanye’s first collaboration with A.P.C. sold out within hours of going on sale in July of last year.

GLEE STAR AMBER RILEY LAUNCH PLUS SIZE BOUTIQUE ONLINE

Dancing With The Stars champ and Glee Star is still winning!  Since her big break on Glee, actress Amber Riley has proudly been a style role model for plus-size women. And she’s a master of flaunting her curves on the carpet. (Remember this amazing Golden Globes style moment?) Now, she’s letting fans share in her fashion sense by letting them shop some of her favorite looks … from her own wardrobe!
Riley and her sister have teamed up for the online boutique Rileyland Fashions, which allows customers to purchase a number of plus-size designs.
“My sister and I are clothes fanatics and since so many of my curvier fans always express that they like my clothes I thought why not clean out my closet and fill up all of yours,” she wrote on Facebook along with a first-look photo of the site. She added, “The clothes are affordable and most are never worn! There will be an official website coming soon with more than one of [a] kind clothing and more sizes for you plus size cuties!”
 The duo even set up an Instagram account to showcase some of the dresses, tops and shoes available — which sold out almost instantly, leading them to post the below message.  We wish her success with her new venture.
