Juicy tidbits
Toni Braxton opens up her son, Diezel, who suffers from autism.
'Soul singer TONI BRAXTON broke down in tears on US magazine show THE VIEW yesterday (29JAN07) as she recalled the first signs her youngest child was autistic.
Toni Braxton and husband Keri Lewis at Trumpet Awards 2007 held at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino. Las Vegas, Nevada - 22.01.07
The UNBREAK MY HEART singer spent two years searching for answers relating to her son DIEZEL's (corr) developmental issues, but it was only when she placed him in school in Las Vegas last year (06) that his autism was diagnosed.
The singer, who is currently in residence at the Flamingo hotel and casino in Vegas, apologised for her tears, saying, "I get all emotional... I just found out, and, when you're just finding out about something, it takes a second to get used to it."
Braxton, who was a guest host on The View for an autism special, revealed she started noticing Diezel, now four, was struggling when he was two.
He showed classic symptoms, like insisting on order, developing speech problems and refusing to socialise with other kids.
She explained, "(There was) no eye contact. He didn't play along with his brother; he would play at his side. All the kids would be in the house; he would be away from them.
"He had to have an order, always an order - he had to eat on the red plate with the Mickey Mouse fork, everything had to be in order. He had to sit on the left side, always." {WENN}
Jermaine Jackson wants his brother Michael to convert to Islam.
"If I didn't have Allah and my prayer rug, I would not have survived, and the reason why is because it kept me focused, it kept me calm.
"Michael, I feel, needs to become a Muslim because I think it's a great protection for him from all the things that he's been attacked with, which are false. There's a strength and a protection there.
"I brought him a lot of books, and he reads everything and he reads a lot.
"I think he's probably given it serious thought because he's spent a lot of time in Bahrain. I was the reason why he had gone there because I wanted him to get out of America and just go somewhere peaceful and quiet, where people pray five times a day. It's a beautiful thing." {WENN}
Simon Cowell admits he rarely listens to music for pleasure.
"(I can) go weeks without listening to music for pleasure.
"If you work at a fish and chip shop, it's unlikely you're going to eat fish and chips at night.
"The idea of sitting in an audition room for 14 hours then putting on my iPod - it's like, 'No! I can't do it.'" {WENN}
