  By: Kam Williams Nationwide (January 19, 2012) -- Cuba Gooding, Jr. was born in the Bronx, New York on January 2, 1968, to Shirley and Cuba, Sr., the lead singer of the R&B group The Main Ingredient, but after his dad abandoned the family in 1974, Jr. and his siblings were raised in L.A. by his struggling single-mom. He ended up attending four different high schools, but was still popular enough to be voted class president at three of them. Cuba's showbiz career began in 1984 as a breakdancer during the closing ceremonies of the Summer Olympics. He subsequently landed several bit roles on TV and in movies before enjoying a meteoric rise after his spellbinding performance as Tre in Boyz n the Hood. In 1997, he won an Academy Award for his memorable outing as Rod "Show me the money!" Tidwell in Jerry Maguire , and was named one of the 50 Most Beautiful People in the World by...

Heidi Klum will file for divorce from Seal ... TMZ has learned. Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Heidi will file divorce papers in L.A. County Superior Court as early as next week. We're told Heidi will cite "irreconcilable differences" as the cause for the divorce. The couple married May 10, 2005. They have 3 biological kids. Seal adopted Heidi's eldest girl from a prior relationship. The couple is famous for renewing their vows every year on their anniversary ... in a lavish ceremony. As for splitting up the goodies, there's a lot on the line. According to Forbes, in the last year alone, Klum raked in $20 million. It's unclear how much Seal made. Heidi attended last Sunday's Golden Globes without Seal. The last photo she tweeted with him was back on December 26. The last time TMZ filmed Seal and Heidi together, we asked her what the key to a successful marriage is. She didn't answer the question. 0120_heidi_klum_seal_minilau...

Nationwide (January 20, 2012) -- Etta James' performance of the enduring classic "At Last" was the embodiment of refined soul: Angelic-sounding strings harkened the arrival of her passionate yet measured vocals as she sang tenderly about a love finally realized after a long and patient wait. In real life, little about James was as genteel as that song.

Then she spent years battling a drug addiction that she admitted sapped away at her great talents. The 73-year-old died at Riverside Community Hospital, with her husband and sons at her side, De Leon said. She was one of music's original bad girls.
