Okay. First of all, I'm hearing that the condom receipt that initiated Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson's arrest for domestic violence was actually Evelyn Lozada's receipt. I'm just telling you what I was told. Meanwhile, sources say Evelyn moved out of their home while Chad was in jail. "Evelyn is no longer at the home she shared with Ocho," a source tells Hollywoodlife.com, "It's an unfortunate situation." Lastly, this dust-up doesn't come as a surprise to those close to the former "Dancing With The Stars" contestant and the "Basketball Wives" star. A source told the Chicago Sun Times: "They have been battling before they got married." The source also thinks that head-butt of Chad's probably was more of an accident than an intentional move to injure Evelyn."

The Michael Jackson Estate wants to pay for a portion of Janet Jackson's mortgage on her posh condo in Las Vegas. Sources tell TMZ that Katherine Jackson has spent time at the condo and the Estate is willing to pay a pro rida share of the mortgage based on how much Mrs. Jackson uses Janet's Vegas digs. Meanwhile, Tanay Jackson, the wannabe singer alleged to be the daughter of Tito, who made statements that Mrs. Jackson is "too old" to be raising Prince, Paris and Blanket Jackson, is only an alleged Jackson. My sources say she and Tito took DNA tests and as Maury Povich would say: "Tito is NOT the father."
