Sammy Sosa and his wife Sonia Sosa have been photographed at several red carpet events this year and to the surprise of most, the former MLB athlete appears to be undergoing a skin transformation from black to white.
We’ve included photos of the couple taken in New York City in May, and have contrast it with a photo taken on November 4 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Sammy’s skin pigmentation appears to have changed dramatically, leading most people to suppose that the home run hitter is using makeup to cover a skin discoloration known as vitiligo.
There are several underlying causes of the depigmentation, one of them is steroid use. It was reported earlier this year that Sosa tested positive for steroids when he was playing for the Chicago Cubs in 2003.
Michael Jackson and news anchor Lee Thomas are two public figures said to have been afflicted by the medical condition.

Jennifer Lopez filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday against her ex-husband Ojani Noa. The Cuban chef, turned writer, was married to J-Lo for eleven months in 1997. He is apparently attempting to release a movie entitled How I Married Jennifer Lopez: The JLo and Ojani Noa Story, in direct violation of a previous court sanctioned confidentiality agreement.
That isn’t the worst of it. According to the court filing, Noa claims to have 11 hours of video footage of the couple, including intimate honeymoon footage taken in their hotel room. The singer believes that the footage shows her in various states of undress and engaging in sexual situations.
Smack in the middle of the controversy is TMZ. According to the documents, the celebrity news website has “entered into a contractual agreement” with Noa for the “exclusive right to the home movies.” TMZ calls those claims “patently false.”
Lopez is charging breach of contract and invasion of privacy and is seeking at least $10 million and wants a judge to order Noa’s project dead in the water.

This tops it all! A man who is currently incarcerated in the Illinois prison system has come forward with claims that he is the father of Kate Gosselin’s and Nadya Suleman’s children.
This isn’t the first time that Jonathan Lee Riches has filed crazy legal claims that involve celebrities. In his most recent (handwritten) legal filing, Riches wants custody of the following children: the Gosselin kids, the Suleman kids, John Edwards‘ love child, all the kids on ABC soap All My Children and Bristol Palin’s child (he thinks she stole the boy from Linda Tripp.)
To further his claims, Riches said that he first met Kate at a Harrisburg Long John Silvers when they dined together and had Octopus. He doesn’t claim that the two were intimate, but suggests that in 2002 Kate went to a fertility clinic and his sperm was used for the insemination procedure.
No word on why Jonathan is in prison, but it seems that it probably is a good idea to keep him locked up. We’re just saying…

Toni Braxton and Trey Songz both taped a performance for the Soul Train Awards 2009 in Atlanta on November 3, 2009. The singers had tongues wagging with their steamy kiss on stage – see photo below.
It appears the impromptu affection may have been the straw that signaled the end of the eight year marriage of Braxton and her musician husband Keri Lewis.
Lewis met his wife when his band, Mint Condition, opened for Toni on tour. They married in April 2001 and have two young sons, Denim and Diezel.
Braxton has sold 40 million albums and has won six Grammy Awards. The separation news was first reported by ESSENCE.com as exclusive breaking news.
View family photos and check out an interesting video report on the steamy kiss between 43-year-old Braxton and the 25-year-old R&B singer below.

The long awaited 20/20 Rihanna interview with Diane Sawyer aired last night on ABC. The singer revealed that her once harmonious relationship with Chris Brown turned into something obsessive and dangerous. It all came crashing down in February 2009 when he turned on her in a rage that has altered their lives forever.
The pair left a pre-Grammy party and began arguing in the car about a text message Brown had received from an ex-girlfriend and then lied about. Brown turned on Rihanna and repeatedly punched and bit her. He then choked her to the point of near unconsciousness, while threatening to kill her.
She eventually managed to get out of the car and began to walk, bloodied and crying hysterically. Someone heard her screams and called 911. She was taken to a hospital for treatment and gave a statement to police. The disturbing photo of her face was eventually leaked.
She regrets the fact that she reunited with Brown in Miami a month after the altercation. Things were strained between them and there was no longer any “soul in his eyes.” She admits it was a mistake, and it sent the wrong message to her fans.
Rihanna soon ended the reconciliation, admitting, “Even if Chris never hit me again, who is to say that their boyfriend won’t? Who’s to say that they won’t kill these girls? These are young girls, and I just didn’t realize how much of an impact I have on these girls’ lives until that happened. It was a wake-up call.”
