Monday Memo

The film  "The conjuring" topped the weekend box office, earning over $41 million dollars. "Despicable Me 2", "Turbo", "Grownups 2" and "Red" round out the top five films of the week. Singer Kelly Rowland is back on dry land after she and some friends were rescued when the boat they chartered become disoriented while the group was whale watching. The Coast Guard was able to "triangulate their position" and veer the vessel back on track, but then it broke down just four miles from their destination. A commercial towboat was called in to get the boat back to shore. Rowland later tweeted that she was  thankful when the ordeal was over adding "Hope you guys had a great weekend".   Rapper Future's child support issues continue to mount. A second woman who claims he fathered he toddler son is seeking monthly support and back pay. Brittni Mealy filed suit against the rapper on December 4, 201, but dropped the suit a month later.  Future filed documents of his own admitting that he is the child's father and asking for joint custody and asking the court to determine his child support payments. However, Brittni Mealy says that's not enough. In addition to monthly payments she wants back pay for the months of June and July. This latest drama popped up amid a similar discrepancy the rapper is facing with another woman, Jessica Smith, with whom he's currently in a court battle as she seeks more support for their 10-year-old son. The rapper has reportedly been dating singer Ciara. Although she's been coy, she's stated that he's her 'best friend" and photos of the two during private moments have gone viral.   Actress Rae Dong Chong is now doing damage control after comments she made about Oprah Winfrey hit headlines. In a video tapped statement she now says that she didn't mean to call Winfrey the N word. Sounds like someone is looking for attention. On the tube: "Raising Hope" on Fox, "How I Met Your Mother" on CBS, "The Bachelorette" on ABC and "American Ninja Warrior" on NBC. Happy Monday!
