James Brown's DNA Drama

Godfather of Soul James Brown was named the real father of two more children on Friday. He publicly acknowledged six children, but new DNA testing revealed that LaRhonda Petitt, and another unidentified individual are also Brown's kids.

Petitt, who was interviewed by the Augusta Chronicle, is 45-years-old -- the oldest of Brown's identified children. She revealed that Brown picked her mother out of a Los Angeles audience and the two began dating, but that Brown split when he found out about the pregnancy. It's a man's world!

Said Petitt, "I was angry that he was out there making all this money, and he wasn't doing anything for my mother and me. I could have had a better life." Several people have claimed to be Brown's babies, but so far, only two of the dozen or so tested have been positively identified as the late, great soulman's spawn.

33. On JAck Nicholson:

That's just one of the things revealed in "Five Easy Decades," the new unauthorized tell-all from author Dennis McDougal. Among the never-before revealed details: A self-portrait that Nicholson scrawled in pen, and photos of the hot tub in Nicholson's Hollywood Hills home. The hot tub is the infamous hot spot where "Chinatown" director Roman Polanski allegedly raped a 13-year-old girl more than thirty years ago.

The book also dishes on Jack's family secrets, and as reported in Page Six, his cadre of illegitimate children.

34. "dating" is not the same as being a groupie. her mom was a groupie, let's call it what it is people.

38. And I heard he was a nice guy, as far as I am concerned any father who denies his
children are cowards and to ditch a pregnant woman and never looking back to boot.
He is burning in hell and screaming in pain. I hope there are pineapples and coconuts
being shoved up his ass.

It is one thing if a father has doubts about fathering a child but that should be handled
in a proper manner keeping in mind that children are innocent.. That should be resolved
quitely and if the child is someone else's than the woman is a slut and the guys should
get tested for diseases also. If they can't afford to get paternity tests and are kind of people who have no shame whatsoever than than and only than they should go to Jerry Springer,( thank god Jenny Jones and Ricki Lake got canned).
to Maury Povich. In one f the episodes on "Maury" years ago a woman brought about
3-4 guys for paternity tests and neither of them was the father. S L U T !!!!!!!!. I used to
me amused by those shows but day in and day out the same kind o show tons of
sluts coming on the show and throwing a tantrum because they brought the wrong
person in and just was too much.

BURN IN HELL ALL YOU COWARDS!
