DID HILLARY STEAL NEVADA CAUCUS?: Clinton camp accused of dirty tactics. Plus, did Obama win more delegates Sat night? Has he caused Oprah to lose female fans?
*Headlines say that Sen. Hillary Clinton won the Nevada caucus on Saturday, but caucus workers for Barack Obama are accusing Clinton camp of using illegal tactics to secure the victory.
Also, Obama's campaign held a conference call with reporters stating that he actually won more pledged Nevada delegates than his Democratic rival, 13-12, due to Obama's win outside of Clark County.
MSNBC.com explains of the math: "The more populous Clark County, which Clinton won, awarded an even number of delegates, and Clinton and Obama split those down the middle. Meanwhile, the more rural areas, which Obama won, awarded an odd number of delegates, which gave Obama the edge.
"But the Associated Press -- as well as NBC News -- had reported that the delegate split being Clinton 13, Obama 12. Who is wrong here? Per the Obama camp, the state party is still gathering results, and they believe the AP has incomplete numbers."
Nevada Democratic Party chairwoman Jill Derby has come forward to dispute the claim, stating: “The calculations of national convention delegates being circulated are based upon an assumption that delegate preferences will remain the same between now and April 2008. We look forward to our county and state conventions where we will choose the delegates for the nominee that Nevadans support.”
Meanwhile, Obama's campaign manager David Plouffe claims there were over 200 separate allegations of irregularities at caucus sites. And Hilary Clinton's campaign tactics in the days leading up to the Nevada caucus are being criticized by eyewitnesses in various reports and blogs.
A precinct captain reporting from one of the Obama field offices in Clark County told dailykos.com "the scene here is ugly."
"Everyone is reporting election irregularities on the part of the Hillary campaign," the precinct captain said. "There is widespread cheating and voter suppression going on all over Clark County--and it's obviously coming in from the top down. Whether it made enough of a difference to swing the election is another question--but there is no question that Hillary was running a scorched-earth, no-holds-barred campaign in which all of her surrogates were instructed to cheat in every way possible."
Various witness accounts of the allegations began popping up on the Internet during Saturday's caucus. Several are listed below:
• From blogger "LV Pol," an Obama supporter: "For starters, we noticed that Hillary's supporters were breaking the rules by placing Hillary signs where they were not allowed and we asked them to take them down, which they did. We then noticed, that a car sporting Hillary signage, was double-parked, blocking people who needed access to handicapped parking. We told a woman who just had a hip replacement to park her car right beside the car. The next controversial issue involved the voter cards disappearing into the Hillary camp, so that the Edwards and Obama people were left with no cards.
When we asked them to give us back some cards, we then noticed that they had all been pre-marked for Hillary." Read LVPol's entire post here:

• From "RunnerAAA," an Obama supporter: "When I entered the cafeteria, where my precinct was located along with two other precincts, all I saw was three 'Hillary tables.' I put this in quotes, because it turns out that these three tables were actually the registration tables for the separate precincts. This was the first of many problems and rules broken by the Hillary camp. Next, we had to find a place to set up. As there are four candidates left in the democratic primary, each candidate is supposed to get a corner of the 'room.' The Hillary camp seemed to think there were only two people in the race and placed their signs and tables across one half of the 'room.' We kindly reminded them that there are four candidates and that we each needed a corner. After speaking with the Temporary Chair, they reluctantly took down the signs and we had to move their tables ourselves.
The tension was clearly building between the Clinton and Obama volunteers."

There was also a problem with Clinton supporters closing doors earlier than the scheduled time. EUR received an expletive-filled e-mail rant from an Obama caucus chair, stating: "I've never seen so much robbery in all my life from f***ing democrats. Those Hillary people,,,,,,,, closed the doors on our people and we had to call the cops in some precincts to have locks cut from doors, those bastards slipped people in the back doors, they sent people home at 11:30 when it was illegal to prevent people from voting before noon, they called Obama a nigger in some areas, we had fights, we had Hillary crooks who were caucus chairs for the democratic party just pick up cards and send the people home.......no count.................WE WERE F***ING ROBBED."
Another account of the same issue was blogged by RunnerAAA, who wrote of the Clinton camp: "They started closing the doors at 11:30 a.m. (instead of 12 p.m.) as the state party had previously instructed. We had to call the Democratic Party in order to get the doors open again, for a Hillary volunteer who wouldn't settle for anything less. I would later find out that many precincts had the same problem with Clinton volunteers refusing to let people in after 11:30."
Blogger "ThereIsNoSpoon" listed the following infractions committed by Clinton supporters at
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/1/19/162953/644/790/439573
• No less than eight Obama captains (including myself) have reported that Clinton operatives tried to close the doors at 11:30--a full thirty minutes before the doors were supposed to close. In some cases I am hearing they actually succeeded, and voters were turned away before more knowledgeable people could get there to reopen them. The Clinton campaign had obviously told their people to be there by 11:30--and they knew that the higher the turnout, the worse for them.
• At least two reports of Clinton operatives telling the uncommitteds and Edwards supporters, once their numbers were deemed not viable, that they had to leave. Whether these tactics succeeded or not, I do not know.
Obviously, the Clinton campaign knew that voters not already in her camp were unlikely to join her camp (I know from my own experience that I convinced many more undecideds than my opponent Hillary operative), so they attempted to suppress their vote.
• At least one report of Clinton operatives telling Obama supporters with viable numbers that they were not viable, and had to leave. From what I hear, some of those voters did in fact leave.
• At least two reports (including my own) of disabled voters being coerced into the Clinton camp against their will, or even having their voter card filled out for them against their will.
• A few reports of probable out-of-state Clinton operatives being counted among the voters--though since checking ID is illegal, and other Hillary operatives from in-state would vouch for them, it's impossible to say.
• At least one report of two large men standing outside the door checking voters for whom they would support, and telling all Obama people they were at the wrong location.
• At least one other report of Hillary operatives doing the check-in, and telling all Obama supporters that they were not on the list, could not register at the location (not true), and that they could not caucus.
• At least one report of ballots being filled out in advance for Hillary in mass.
• At least one report of Hillary supporters saying that the caucus location was just the Hillary room--and that Obama supporters had to go to a faraway location.
• At least one report of a voter registration list only in Spanish, and only with Hillary supporters on it. Obama supporters later found the registration list with the rest of the people--in the garbage can of the ladies restroom.
• Several reports of Hillary signs on the registration table, and Hillary supporters in Hillary shirts doing registration.
In other Obama news, UK's Times Online is pointing out that Oprah Winfrey is being called a "traitor" by some of her female fans for choosing to support Obama over Clinton. It all apparently started with a message on her Oprah.com Web site titled “Oprah is a traitor.” The discussion that followed included hundred of comments both agreeing an disagreeing with the declaration.
In the original post, a reader called austaz68 said she “cannot believe that women all over this country are not up in arms over Oprah’s backing of Obama. For the first time in history we actually have a shot at putting a woman in the White House and Oprah backs the black MAN. She’s choosing her race over her gender.”
A subsequent comment, 2nurselady wrote: “I don’t think Oprah is a ‘traitor’, but I do think she may be alienating a lot of her fans.”
One suspicious reader posted the message: “All the rude and hateful messages on here can’t be from Oprah fans. Someone’s campaign (wonder who?) is sabotaging the message boards.”
BEYONCE SAYS SHE'LL CROSS PICKET LINE FOR GRAMMYS: Jill Scott, however, says she's not so sure.
*As the Hollywood writers strike threatens to claim the 50th annual Grammy telecast as its next victim, nominated artists are being put in a rather awkward position.
Recording Academy President Neil Portnow has already announced that a full-scale Grammys will be presented from Los Angeles on Feb. 10 and broadcast live on CBS no matter what.
"We won't be a clip show or a press conference or anything of the sort. This show really will go on," he said.
However, some musicians have said they would boycott the ceremony in solidarity with striking writers, especially top-level musical superstars who also are actors, such as nominees Justin Timberlake and Alicia Keys.
"I feel torn, because I'm a writer," R&B singer-songwriter Jill Scott, who is nominated for three Grammys, told The Associated Press on Friday. "I feel like I'm caught in the middle. ... I don't know how to feel."
The Writers Guild of America [WGA], which is seeking compensation for programs, movies and other content streamed or downloaded over the Internet, granted a waiver for the NAACP Image awards, allowing writers to work on the live Feb. 14 telecast. But the Golden Globes were not so lucky.
The WGA refused to grant the waiver for the annual ceremony and threatened picketing. The Screen Actors Guild [SAG] encouraged its stars to stay away as well. As a result, the typically lavish three-hour televised awards extravaganza was reduced to a one-hour, celebrity-free newscast on Jan. 13.
Portnow says he has asked the WGA for an interim agreement that would allow writers to work on the Grammy telecast. WGA spokesman Gregg Mitchell said the request was referred to the board of the union's West Coast branch for a decision. He said, however, that a deal "is unlikely to be granted."
Jill Scott, also an actress, said she felt empathy for the WGA and didn't know what she would do if asked to perform at a picketed show.
"That's not an easy decision for me," she said. "I would feel like I'm choosing between my parents."
Meanwhile, Beyonce, also an actress and SAG member, has announced that she will perform at the Grammys, even if it means crossing a picket line. Her father/manager Matthew Knowles said in a statement: "we have every intention" of being at the event in Los Angeles."
"We have an incredible Beyonce performance that will be announced soon. We wish the Grammys the best," he continued.
Best new artist nominee and SAG member, R&B singer-songwriter Ledesi, was hopeful the situation could be worked out, but indicated that she would not go if the WGA picketed and SAG directed its members not to attend.
"We have to do what we have to do," she said. "I'm praying that I get to go — I've been wanting to go for years."
Kanye West leads the nominations with eight, while Amy Winehouse is up for six awards.
J-HUD EYES TYLER PERRY'S PREYS': Oscar winner would join Lathan, Woodard and Dunbar in Lionsgate film.
*Jennifer Hudson is in talks to join the cast of "Tyler Perry's The Family That Preys," the filmmaker's first big screen project with a prominent storyline involving white characters.
The script follows two families from different sides of the tracks that become intimately involved in love and business, reports Variety.
Sanaa Lathan, Kathy Bates, Alfre Woodard and Rockmond Dunbar have already been cast for the project, which Perry will direct from his own script.
Perry, who is producing "Preys" with Reuben Cannon, is slated to begin shooting on March 2 at Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta.
Following the production, Perry will begin directing "Madea Goes to Jail," based on his stage play. Meanwhile, Lionsgate will open Perry's "Meet the Browns" on March 21.
WITNESSES SUPPORT ASSAULT CLAIM AGAINST DIDDY: Oscar afterparty still haunts Bad Boy mogul.
*Four eyewitnesses have come forward to support a man's claim that he and his girlfriend were assaulted by Sean "Diddy" Combs in Los Angeles last year while waiting at the valet outside of the Hollywood Roosevelt hotel.
Gerard Rechnitzer is seeking unspecified damages in his assault
lawsuit against Diddy filed in Los Angeles Superior Court last year, reports the AP. He claims the Feb. 25 incident was sparked after he objected to Diddy allegedly flirting with his girlfriend.
Marianna Ruiz, one of the witnesses deposed by an attorney for Rechnitzer, said in papers filed Wednesday that Diddy struck Rechnitzer unprovoked.
"I just kind of remember seeing him go flying, not flying as in like feet off the ground, but he went back significantly," said Ruiz, who was part of a group at the club with the Rechnitzer. "I was just in shock that somebody would ... just kind of strike somebody out of nowhere."
Another witness, Michael Sherman, said "all of a sudden, he hit him.
And there was a taxi behind Gerard. Gerard got knocked into the taxi."
Sherman said Diddy then attempted to spit on Ruiz, who was standing nearby.
Diddy's legal camp has called the suit "completely baseless" and in court papers filed Wednesday say he is "in no way legally responsible for what happened to Rechnitzer."
JUDGE NOT TRYING TO HEAR FOXY BROWN: Court needs more proof to consider rapper's request for early release to deal with ear problem.
*A New York judge says she wants more proof of Foxy Brown's hearing issues before considering her request for an early release.
Last week, the 28-year-old rapper filed a petition seeking permission to suspend her one-year prison sentence to undergo a procedure that would prevent her from suffering permanent hearing loss. Her lawyers said the operation can only be done at a facility in Los Angeles.
Brown's petition stated she would be faced with "imminent harm to her hearing" if not released by Jan. 30 so that she can have "her cochlear implant reprogrammed and repaired" by specialists at L.A.'s House Clinic.
On Thursday, State Supreme Court Justice Melissa Jackson told Brown's attorney she wanted additional evidence to support her contention that the procedure can only be done on the West coast.
"I need to have more information on this," the judge said, per the New York Daily News.
Assistant District Attorney Cindy Chung opposed the motion for an early release, stating there's no sufficient reason Brown couldn't get the implant fixed in New York and adding that prisoners with medical conditions are typically not allowed preference over the physicians treating them.
"The mere existence of a debilitating health condition does not merit a sentence reduction, even if it is a terminal illness," the prosecutor told the judge. "Basically, your honor, this is a desperate and frivolous petition."
Brown, whose real name is Inga Marchand, is due back in court on Jan.
31; by then, Brown must be checked out by a doctor from New York's Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. Also, Brown's attorney Laura Dilimetin was ordered to give the DA, the Department of Correction and the Department of Probation copies of Foxy's medical records so that they could inform the court with their position on the matter.
Four months into her sentence at Rikers Island, Brown told the judge that she is already learning how to better deal with her emotions.
"I have too much talent to throw it away," the Brooklyn-born entertainer told Jackson. "I know I will make you proud and my family proud."
Replied the judge: "I'm glad you're learning some very hard lessons that needed to be learned."
DENZEL'S DOUBLE STANDARD TOWARD DAUGHTERS: Actor admits he's tough on men wishing to date his girls.
*During his appearance on "Late Night with David Letterman" last week, Denzel Washington may have scared the living daylights out of his eldest daughter's boyfriend.
The Oscar winner admits that he holds a double standard when it comes to the dating life of his two sons and two daughters. Discussing the new boyfriend of his 20-year-old Katia, Washington joked: "He had too many earrings for me, but you know, I told him, I'm not gonna be that friendly with you because there's gonna come a time when I'm not gonna be your friend."
He continued in jest: "What I did was I put my oldest boy on him. I said, 'Put the fear of God in him.' I said, 'Stare him down, you know, kick him around a little bit. Tenderize him, I'll finish him off when I get
home.'"

VING RHAMES' DOGS CLEARED BY CORONER: Five month investigation concludes actor's caretaker died of a bad ticker.
*A coroner's report has found that Ving Rhames' caretaker died of a preexisting heart problem, and not from dog bites found on his body following an August incident at the actor's home, reports People magazine.
Los Angeles Department of Coroner spokesman Ed Winter concluded that Rhames's "dogs didn't kill Mr. Adams. The dog bites found on him were determined to be non-fatal."
The caretaker, Jacob Adams, 40, was found dead on the front lawn of Rhames' Brentwood home on Aug. 3. Initial reports suggested that the actor's four dogs – three mastiffs and one bulldog – had bitten Adams to death. The notion had been supported by Capt. Matt Blake of the LAPD, who said upon discovery of the body that Adams was "definitely mauled" by the dogs, however, "there [was] no solid evidence that they were the cause of death."
Rhames, who was filming a movie in Bulgaria at the time, released a statement two weeks later describing the incident as a "shocking and terrible tragedy." His dogs, which were initially quarantined by officials, have since been returned to the actor.
BOB JOHNSON APOLOGIZES TO OBAMA: BET founder says his remarks regarding drug and race-related remarks against senator were 'inappropriate.'
*BET founder and Hillary Clinton supporter Robert Johnson has issued an apology to Sen. Barack Obama for pointing out the Democratic candidate's earlier drug use and offering the analogy of Obama as Sidney Poitier's character in “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?”
While introducing Sen. Clinton during a campaign stop in Columbia, South Carolina earlier this month, Johnson criticized Obama's response to her comment that Dr. Martin Luther King's dream of racial equality was realized only when President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Some black leaders have criticized that remark as suggesting Johnson deserved more credit than King for the passage and enactment of major civil rights legislation.
Asked to respond, Obama told ABC News that he didn't believe Clinton's comment was racist, but added: "I do think it was indicative of the perspective that she brings, which is that what happens in Washington is more important than what happens outside of Washington." He said he believes the quote betrays a belief on her part, "that the intricacies of the legislative process were somehow more significant than when ordinary people rise up and march and go to jail and fight for justice."
Speaking to Clinton supporters at Columbia College, Johnson said of Obama's response: "To me, as an African American, I am frankly insulted the Obama campaign would imply that we are so stupid that we would think Hillary and Bill Clinton, who have been deeply and emotionally involved in black issues — when Barack Obama was doing something in the neighborhood; I won't say what he was doing, but he said it in his book — when they have been involved," Johnson said.
Moments later, he added: “That kind of campaign behavior does not resonate with me, for a guy who says, ‘I want to be a reasonable, likable, Sidney Poitier ‘Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner.’ And I’m thinking, I’m thinking to myself, this ain’t a movie, Sidney. This is real life.”
Johnson's stated in his apology letter to Obama, "I’m writing to apologize to you and your family personally for the un-called-for comments I made at a recent Clinton event. In my zeal to support Senator Clinton, I made some very inappropriate remarks for which I am truly sorry. I hope that you will accept this apology. Good luck on the campaign trail."
ITTY BITTY BITS: Jones beats Trinidad; Slim-Fast wants Slim Shady; J.Lo has baby shower; Sherri Shepherd's new man?; Halle's ring; Milian's record deal?; Sharpton's annual MLK rally.
*Roy Jones Jr. knocked down Felix Trinidad twice (in rounds 7 and
10) en route to a unanimous victory Saturday night at New York's Madison Square Garden. Thirty-five year-old Trinidad (42-3) hadn't fought in 32 months since his second retirement. Jones, 39, had lost three of his past five fights before Saturday's non-title win. "I can't believe you stayed in there 12 rounds with me," Jones said to Trinidad after the fight. "People thought we were old."
*Slim-Fast has reportedly offered rapper Eminem an endorsement deal after rumors broke that he has gained a substantial amount of weight.
“Slim-Fast is a program that can really work for someone like Eminem. It's a do-able and flexible approach,” a Slim Fast representative told Yahoo News. “Slim-Fast would love to offer Eminem product and assistance to help him become a potential S-F success story.”
*Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony attended their baby shower Saturday afternoon on the rooftop of the Gramercy Park Hotel in New York City, reports People magazine. The affair was hosted by Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, Lopez's producer on the 2002 film "Maid in Manhattan." Actress Leah Remini and designer Roberto Cavalli were among the guests at the shower, where everything in the room was blue and pink – and adorned with Swarovski crystal, said a source.
*Sherri Shepherd, who is currently divorcing her husband Jeffrey Tarpley after an infidelity-plagued marraige, was in Nashville last week with her rumored new flame John Murray, reports the New York Post's Page Six. Spies saw the co-host of ABC's "The View" and Murray shopping at the Opryland Outlet Mall, where they were said to be "very, very affectionate."
Shepherd was in the country music capital to be a presenter at the Stellar Gospel Awards.
*Gabriel Aubry, 32, has given his pregnant girlfriend Halle Berry a $10,000 eternity ring to symbolize their commitment to each other and the upcoming birth of their baby, reports In Touch Weekly. The Cartier pave diamond eternity platinum ring was spotted on the 41-year-old actress at a Cartier event in Los Angeles earlier this month. An insider tells the
magazine: ""It's gorgeous. The diamonds aren't huge but they are perfectly cut and sparkle."
*There are unconfirmed reports that Christina Milian has signed a record deal with a new joint label from MySpace and Interscope Records. The singer was dropped by Def Jam in 2006 following the release of her album "So Amazing."
*Rev. Al Sharpton will host his annual National Action Network, Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr. Day Forum and Rally. Sharpton will join New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, Lieutenant Governor Paterson, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Congressman Charlie Rangel, and other elected officials and community members at the group's headquarters (106 West 145th St.) from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. today.
OBAMA AT EBENEZER; CLINTON IN HARLEM: Democratic front runners talk race during MLK weekend.
*Presidential candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton spent Sunday morning in the black church – Obama at Martin Luther King Jr.'s Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta; Clinton at the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem.
In the church where King launched his career as a minister, Obama took the pulpit and said the country must unite to overcome its problems, reports the Associated Press. He also acknowledged that "none of our hands are clean."
"The divisions, the stereotypes, the scape-goating, the ease with which we blame the plight of ourselves on others, all of that distracts us from the common challenges we face: war and poverty; inequality and injustice," Obama said. "We can no longer afford to build ourselves up by tearing each other down. We can no longer afford to traffic in lies or fear or hate. It is the poison that we must purge from our politics; the wall that we must tear down before the hour grows too late."
The Rev. Calvin Butts of Abyssinian Baptist Church, a Clinton supporter, introduced her at Sunday's service as someone who "has been our friend," before extending his official endorsement.
As dozens of Obama supporters shouted "Harlem for Obama," Clinton's supporters tried to drown them out by shouting "Hil-la-ry!"
Clinton told congregants how pleased she was to be with them on the weekend before the King holiday. She told how she had traveled years ago with her church youth group to hear him speak.
"It was a transforming experience for me," Clinton said. "He made it very clear that the civil rights movement was about economic justice."
Both Obama and Clinton are preparing for Saturday's Democratic primary in South Carolina, the first state where a large number of black voters will participate. Obama needs a win to remain a front-runner in the race for the party's presidential nomination. He won the leadoff contest in Iowa, and lost New Hampshire and Nevada to Clinton.
Obama is counting on blacks to stick with him despite his losing two in a row to Clinton. He lost Nevada despite winning 83 percent of blacks, who made up 15 percent of the total vote. In South Carolina, they are
expected to make up at least half the turnout.
