Kaidence Donda West. We knew the baby’s name would start with a ‘K’ and
Donda was Kanye's late mother's name. Also, cadence with a ‘C’ is a musical term.

KATY PERRY appears on the cover of the July issue of Vogue magazine and inside she talks about her high-profile relationships with RUSSELL BRAND and
JOHN MAYER. As for Brand, the big bombshell is that he asked for a divorce via text message on New Year's Eve 2011. Katy says she blamed herself for their breakup until she "found out the real truth," which she wouldn't disclose. There was one awkward moment in the relationship when he made jokes about her at one of his shows, not knowing she’d shown up to surprise him in the audience. As for
Mayer, she says she "was madly in love with him" and still is and that he has a beautiful mind. The issue will be out next Tuesday.

Apparently the pictures didn’t lie as TV chef NIGELLA LAWSON’S art collector husband, Charles Saatchi, has admitted that he assaulted her and accepted a police caution. Under British law, a caution is a formal warning given to someone who admits an offense and while it doesn’t come with a jail sentence, it can be used in court as evidence of bad character in any subsequent cases. The incident took place last week and they’re apparently patching things up as they were seen at the same
London restaurant over the weekend, drinking and chatting over lunch.
There was another vehicular incident for JUSTIN BIEBER on Monday night in
Hollywood. Video footage shows Bieber running into a photographer with his white Ferrari, but police say there was no crime and the injuries weren't serious. A video posted by TMZ shows Bieber getting into the Ferrari surrounded by paparazzi and as the car drives off, one falls to the ground and grips his knee.
Police interviewed Justin a few hours later and he told cops he didn't know he hit the photographer. Police later determined the guy was at fault because he was a pedestrian in the roadway.
It’s being reported that RIHANNA is headed to Recovery Ranch, a love and relationship rehab facility in Tennessee, because she can’t get over her breakup with Chris Brown. However, this comes from the nearly never reliable tabloid
Grazia, which says she’ll be taking periodic breaks from her world tour to attend their Relationship and Sexual Recovery program. In a more reliable, but less juicy story, an unnamed man was found on the roof of Rihanna's home in Pacific
Palisades, California this week. Rihanna wasn’t home at the time, but security guards spotted the guy and called police and they arrested him. (More on Rihanna in Music Notes)

December, although she has a pretty good excuse. Mary was given a $145,000 deposit, but they say she bailed just a few days before the show because she got a chance to perform at the Barclays Center with the Rolling Stones. However, the booking company says she never paid back the advance.

Kent, Washington police responded to 911 calls about a drunk driver. When officers caught up with Omar Medina and asked for his driver's license, he handed them a can of beer and informed them that he didn't have to cooperate in any way because he was an assassin for the U.S. government. After discovering that Omar had three previous DUI’s and was driving on a revoked license, they determined the only thing he killed off was a six pack and arrested him.
Great Falls, Montana’s Stacy Dawn Rattray took her neighbor’s children to a local
McDonald’s. As Rattray pulled up to the drive-thru window, the McDonald’s employee apparently noticed the open can of watermelon Four Loko on the floor, the strong odor of alcohol on her breath, and her bloodshot and watery eyes. When police arrived, Rattray was still at the drive-thru, but not for long as she tested at more than three times the legal limit and was arrested for aggravated DUI and two counts of endangering the welfare of children.
Westbrook, Connecticut’s 67-year-old Kenneth Palifka and a pal returned to the

They sought assistance from passersby, but it wasn’t a jump start they were seeking, but a breath sample. It seems Kenneth had multiple DUI's on the books and was ordered to install an ignition interlock device to prevent another drunk driving episode. Kenneth and his friend had both been drinking and were asking people to provide a breath sample in order to start his vehicle. Instead, someone blew the whistle on Kenneth and he was arrested.
Fairbanks, Alaska's 63-year-old Merrill Keith Moses is a real rascal.

Thomas limped away but, adding insult to injury, he was arrested on burglary and firearm charges after being treated for his gunshot wounds.
Shaun Paul Williams met a woman at a Daytona Beach convenience store and struck up a conversation, which led to him asking her out. The woman accepted and on their first date she asked him to get naked. Unfortunately, it’s not as fun as it sounds.

Instead, they pulled onto an deserted road where Shaun was beaten, robbed at gunpoint, forced to strip naked and abandoned. Police discovered a “disoriented”
Shaun and took him to a hospital while the gang remains at large.
