Anivia Cruz-Dilworth (seen-r), a plus size high fashion model for Wilhemina and Click modeling agencies, has been indicted on charges of practicing cosmetic medicine without a license. 

Allegedly, six women went to Dilworth for buttocks-enhancement injections and was told by the model that she's a trained professional. Instead of receiving a fuller posterior the six females between the ages of twenty and thirty years old, were sent to the hospital before their second treatment could occur.

Cruz-Dilworth injected six women with what she described as hydro-gel; a solid jelly-like material thought to be similar to bathtub caulk, said Essex County Assistant Prosecutor Peter Sepulveda. 

Cruz used a syringe, marked the women, then injected them while using Krazy glue to seal the punctures. The effects of the injections were so serious that one woman had to undergo five separate hospitalizations and multiple surgeries. Cruz-Dilworth charged anywhere from $650 to $1,250 dollars for the injections. The 5 foot 10 beauty now faces 3-5 years in prison.

On her Facebook page Cruz-Dilworth, says she graduated from West Orange High School and Montclair State University and owns 'It’s Anivia' cosmetics and skin care line. The company’s website says the line has not yet launched.

LA's perspective: I personally met and got to know Anivia Cruz at Kean University before she had the Dilworth on her last name. From what I know of Anivia she was always very sweet, very kind, and very creative but somewhat troubled from her past. It's hard for me to believe that she would do this on her own. 

I'm not justifying what she did, just a bit confused by her far out actions. So I only hope and pray that a thorough investigation is done on her behalf, as I do not believe she acted alone.

ChRiS bRoWn BrEaKs DoWn At BeT aWaRdS

Did you see the BET awards this past Sunday? 
  
Rapper/singer/producer Queen Latifah, hosted the show this year and I must say she did a great job opening the with an original rap song that incorporated celebrities within the audience. It was to hilarious when she landed on singer Alicia Keys and producer Swizz Beats, stating that Alicia's baby will be cute as long as it looks like her!

Ms. Keys (seen-r) gave a jaw dropping performance in tribute to the artist, formerly known as Prince. She wowed the audience while singing "Adore" and hopped her very pregnant body atop her piano, while crawling around seductively as if to say, "that's right I'm still sexy, big belly and all!

Chris Brown (seen above) stole the show with his perfect Michael Jackson performance that clearly left him bawling afterwards. A few media outlets commented that Chris Brown broke down crying as a publicity stunt, but if you were watching closely his genuineness was obvious. In my opinion it appeared that Chris was both upset over the passing of his favorite idol MJ, as well as his own hellish situation this past year with former girlfriend and singer Rihanna. 

Chris sang "Man in the Mirror", which speaks volumes regarding responsibility and change. He had a rough year after his very public bout with his ex-girlfriend, and more than anything it seems the pop singer seeks forgiveness from his fans and friends. 

I hope forgiveness isn't to far off.

ElIn NoRdEgReN tO rEcEiVe 750 MiLlIoN iN dIvOrCe!

Tiger Woods' soon-to-be ex-wife Elin Nordegren (above-r), have finally reached a divorce settlement. Allegedly, Nordegren will receive 750 million from the legendary golf player. The divorce contract bans Elin from accepting book deals and interviews, that would discuss the previous year of their marriage. The parents will share custody of both children and Elin, has already vacated their Florida residence.

In the end, was Tiger the one that got played? 

Seven hundred and fifty million is a lot of cake for a divorce settlement; what did the attorney do multiple the 16 women Tiger slept with times 50 million? Originally, Elin signed a prenuptial agreement before her and Tiger wed, but I guess somewhere in the prenup it stipulated if any affairs occur a huge payout will follow?

Amidst Tiger's cheating revelations he stated that he would need to "pull a Kobe Bryant", as a way of reconciling with his wife but as we see Elin clearly doesn't feel inclined to reconcile their differences. It was naive of Tiger to think all he had to do was buy Elin's love back after he cheated; just because it worked for Kobe Bryant doesn't mean it'll work for all. And how much did he really think of his wife, to think that it could work?

Tisk, tisk, Tiger.

TigEr WoOdS' aPoLoGy To ThE puBLiC

Infamous golf player Tiger Woods, made a public apology to the world last Friday regarding his infidelities. Woods' public plea dominated local networks, bringing all daytime talk shows to a halt as if the president himself were speaking. 

The apology was strategic and served as a way for Woods to redeem himself, while being forgiven for the content of his character. Tiger's speech addressed his fans, endorsers, his wife, children, close friends and family, where he admitted to being sorry, confessed that his wife didn't attack him as rumors suggested, he rejected the notion that he ever used steroids, admitted that he lost his religion so he'll be turning back to Buddhism, and of course he will continue to play golf.

Do you think Tiger should have made a public apology?

His behavior within his marriage has nothing to do with the American people; sure it makes for great gossip, sells many magazines, and keep the paparazzi paid but this is somebody's life. Whatever happened to letting people grieve in private?

Tiger's wife decided not to show up to his public apology, but seriously can you blame her?

EliN iS sTaYiNg WiTh TiGeR: GeNuInE or InGeNuInE?

It's been reported that Elin Nordegren Woods (above-l), wife of famous golfer Tiger Woods (above-r), is allegedly giving her marriage another try. Often we see wives stand by their men when dealing with infidelity in the marriage, and people always try to speculate what keeps the women around. 

True love? For the sake of the children? Or is it something bigger?

In Elin's case her husband Tiger, was caught cheating with sixteen different women and one in particular, who had been in the Woods' home on more than one occasion! Elin heard of her husband's infidelity through the public instead of in private; how embarrassing. 

And Afterwards Elin did what any woman would do when hearing about her husband's cheating ways; she beat his ass! Then, she went full speed ahead towards divorce court but than called it all off. 

Why?

Personally, I think Elin may have a surprise up her sleeve because how do you go from being enraged, to being happy and settling differences all within a month? Tiger even gifted Elin with her own yacht, and it seems Elin is perfectly happy making Tiger feel bad for what he's done, rather than let him off the hook so easy with divorce. By the time Elin decides to divorce Tiger, she would have him first buy her a heap of things worth millions of dollars. I hope he isn't stupid enough to do what he did a second time because if he does, she's taking everything he has -- E-VER-Y-THING!

Tiger was overheard saying he'd "pull a Kobe Bryant" in order to keep Elin; of course referring to LA Laker Kobe Bryant, who cheated on his wife Vanessa and then bought her a 4 million dollar ring to reconcile.

Do you think Elin's yacht cost more than Vanessa Bryant's ring? 

And how appalling is it that Tiger feels all he has to do is pacify his wife with money and she'll shut-up?! It kind of shows how much he thinks of her which is apparently not much. Any real woman would have cursed him out for even thinking he can pull that crap! This is what leads me to believe Elin is out for revenge. 

Now ladies if you were in Elin's shoes, you'd probably be fast tracking it to divorce court because how can one continue to sleep with, be in the presence of, or joke around -- with a spouse that you know did you wrong without wanting to bash his face in?

Karma is a bitch?

Women should you choose to stay in a cheating marriage, just know you can't hold previous actions against your spouse moving forward and if you do -- it will never work. You must let things go and start anew. Of course you won't ever forget what happened, but it is necessary for you to rekindle what it was that brought you together in the first place.

Good luck to Elin and Tiger; I can't wait to see the "real" outcome.
