They wed in 2005 but went through a bitter divorce after almost four years, and finalized their split last September.

A month later Price claimed Andre was dating his manager/agent Claire Powell on a U.K. chat show, which led Powell to sue for substantial damages. The Aussie singer also filed a writ accusing his former wife of slander and libel, requesting a judge to issue an injunction to prevent Price from issuing "similar words defamatory of the claimant".

Video: Kanye West Omits 'Power' Diss Lines for 'SNL'


October 04, 2010 04:04:34 GMT


Invited back to "Saturday Night Live" despite his rant after he was spoofed in Taylor Swift-featuring skit, Kanye West apparently knew that it would be awkward for him to diss the late-night show. Thus, the rapper skipped the lines which take aim at the "SNL" when rapping "Power" over the weekend.

Instead of slamming the whole cast of "SNL", Kanye who wore red outfit from head to toe mocked himself in Pusha T-assisted track "Runaway". "Let's have a toast for the douchebags, ... Let's have a toast for the scumbags," so the self-mock lyrics delivered. "Let's have a toast to the jerk***s."

Prostitute Irma Nici has countersued David Beckham for breaking the U.S. Constitution by hampering her free speech - just days after the sport superstar's lawyer served her with a $25 million writ for claiming the pair slept together.

Nici hit headlines around the world last month when she sensationally alleged Beckham had paid for her services on two occasions in 2007. Beckham immediately launched legal action against Nici and In Touch magazine, which published the story and his legal team handed her papers in New York on Monday, September 27. The writ accuses the former prostitute of causing him "great mental anguish" with allegations he hired prostitutes.
