Meek Mill’s Baby Mama Caught Stealing $17 of Food

It’s hard out here. Apparently Meek Mill’s baby mama, Fatimah Raheem, eventually plead guilty to retail theft, under a deal with the Montgomery County Pa. District Attorney’s Office. A ShopRite security guard caught her on camera leaving the store without paying for two $6.99 containers of hot food from the buffet and $2.50 bag of frozen pineapples. The woman had had two small children with her when she stole the food.

Although she did pay for some items at the self-service checkout, police said she moved the frozen pineapples and hot food directly from her cart into a shopping bag. She left the store, but cops were able to track her down because she used her price plus rewards card for the stuff she actually paid for. According to Hip Hop Wired, Meek Mill’s son’s mother initially denied ever being at ShopRite, and then claimed someone else used herrewards card. But cops compared surveillance footage to her driver’s license. Allegedly, she asked if she could just pay back ShopRite the $17 for the stolen merch, but the store’s management wanted to press charges. Dang!

Chris Brown wants to 'raise awareness' of domestic abuse if he is allowed to enter Australia

Chris Brown has said he would be "grateful" if he was allowed to enter Australia in a plea on Twitter over hisimmigration status and claimed his visit could be used to campaign against spousal abuse.

The star is currently waiting to find out if he's allowed to enter Oz, after the government raised issues with his visa application over his 2009 conviction for assaulting then girlfriend Rihanna.

While he's been allowed in the country twice before, Australia's Minister for Women, Senator Michaelia Cash, said the government were not afraid to turn down Brown's immigration request this time, in light of his violent past.

They Loyal star had intended to bring his One Hell Of A Nite tour to Australia in December and in an apparent appeal to the government took to Twitter today to explain why he should be allowed in.

He wrote: "I would be more than grateful to come to Australia to raise awareness about domestic violence. Im not the pink elephant in the room anymore. My life mistakes should be a wake up call for everyone.

"Showing the world that mistakes don't define you. Trying to prevent spousal abuse.

"The youth don't listen to parents nor do they listen to PSA's. The power that we have as Entertainers can change lives."
This weekend it was claimed it was "unlikely" that the star would be allowed in the country.

According to the report, the singer was issued with a "notice of intention to consider refusal" and as a result has 28 days to convince Aussie officials he should be allowed a visa.

However, his publicist has stated that a decision had not yet been made over the issue.

"Contrary to media reports, Chris Brown's request to enter Australia on tour has not been denied. This request is currently being considered by the office of the Immigration Minister.

"We respect their right to review this request and have faith that a decision will be made with the full consideration of his continued personal growth, on-going philanthropic endeavors and desire to perform for his fans.

"Since 2009, Chris Brown has visited Australia on two separate occasions and is looking forward to returning in December," he added.

Marnie Simpson passionately kisses Chloe Ferry in street as pair go on EXTRA trashy night out

Single ladies Marnie Simpson and Chloe Ferry ended their Newcastle night out hooking up - with each other.

Dazed clubbers saw the Geordie Shore stars lock lips in a picture perfect panto perfomance as they stood in the smoking area outside Bijoux bar for a quick breath of fresh air.

Of course, newly single Marnie could have been showing spurned ex Ricky Rayment what he was missing or she could have just found her co-star, who was clad in see-through black leggings and a boxy striped blouse, topped off with black heels, very attractive.
The reality star team, who started their evening taking in theatre show The Lady Boys of Bangkok, couldn't keep their hands off each other as they passionately kissed in the early hours before staggering off into a waiting taxi.

Marnie tweeted this morning her mum had already texted her asking if she was a lesbian, adding: "That's defiantly a sign that the kissing needs to stop now", adding Chloe's Twitter handle and a laughter emoji.

This week Marnie admitted her relationship with Ricky might not be over for good despite their very bitter break up.

The former Geordie Shore dumped the one-time TOWIE star by text following a whirlwind romance and engagement.
But when she broke the news to him – he didn’t take it well. She told new! magazine: "When we split up he called me every name under the sun and called me a sl*g about 5,000 times. He told us he always thought those things."

Despite the cruel taunts the pretty brunette admits she doesn’t know if it is over for good.

When questioned about whether it was really the end, she said: “Not for good. We’re still talking and trying to work through things, but it’s difficult.”

Later in the interview she revealed she hoped they would sort it out because she “loves him a lot”. In fact she mentions her hope of reconciliation three times during the chat.
Marnie revealed the couple came to blows because Ricky felt like they were spending too much time together – something she was confused about because they were engaged.

“If you’re engaged to someone you should be able to spend all your time with them,” she said.

“I felt like if I stayed with him longer than a week, he was just sick of us.”
