"X-Factor's" Rachel Crow: 'She Was Born A Crack Baby'

Who doesn't love a great "come up" story!?

US X-Factor has becoming one of the most watched programs (as we all knew it would be) during this fall season. And one of the show's break-out talents, Rachel Crow (MY FAVE!!!), has shocked the world with her poise, maturity and let's not forget that powerful voice.

When Rachel first showed up for auditions, she was accompanied by her mother and family, whom were white. and I just assumed (like everyone else did) that Rachel was bi-racial (I mean....look at her!). Now, her ADOPTED mom - Barbara Crow - is speaking out for the first time about Rachel being a "crack baby", growing up in a crack house and how she has been a blessing to them!

More under the break.....

“She was born a crack baby and actually lived in a crack house and suffered a lot of abuse. But she is totally unaffected by it. She never looks at [her past] in a sad way. She looks at it as that is what made her the person she is. She came to us through Social Services. In situations like that, it is a little more dangerous, so they keep everything sealed. It is not like entering into a typical private adoption. This is where parental rights were terminated, and the child suffered a lot of abuse. I would just like 10 minutes with them.”

So what are Rachel's feelings about her past?

“I have two amazing parents already. It is crazy because everybody is like, ‘She is not your real mom.’ And I am like, ‘Yeah, she is!’ ”

And what does Rachel want to do with the $5 MILLION if she wins X-Factor?

“I want to build a foundation that makes them feel good about themselves -- whether they want to sing or act or whether they want be in sports or go to Harvard,” she says. “I want to make sure they get to chase their dreams.”

THIS is why I love this chica!

Terrell Owens BROKE! Child Support Responsibilities Revealed!

WOW! I feel bad for the man.....

Via TMZ:

Terrell Owens' financial situation is so dire, he filed papers in three separate child support cases to have his payments lowered ... because he makes ZERO DOLLARS ... this according to court docs.

A bench warrant was issued for T.O.'s arrest after he missed a court date with one baby mama ... to whom he's trying to lower child support payments.

Turns out ... T.O. has three OTHER baby mamas and over the past few months he's filed to have his payments reduced with two of them (and, according to his rep, he plans to file for a modification of support for the third).

For those of you counting at home, here's the scorecard ...

More under the break.....

Baby Mama #1, Monique Reynolds
T.O. and Monique have an 11-year-old son together. According to the papers, he paid $20,000/month in support until last year, when it was reduced to $11,202. He also gave her $100,000 to buy a house.

Baby Mama #2, Kimberly Floyd
They share a 7-year-old daughter, for whom TO was ordered to pay $20,000/month for back in 2005. In 2008, they agreed to drop that to $15,000.

Baby Mama #3, Samelia Miller
Miller gave birth to a son back in 2006. He was ordered to pay $13,400/month in support.

Baby Mama #4, Melanie Paige Smith
T.O. was ordered to pay $5,000/month for their daughter back in 2007. This is the only case where T.O. has not yet requested a reduction ... though his rep says he plans to ask for a modification.

At one point, Terrell was paying $20,000/month for two children? MY HEAVENS!!!

According to TMZ, T.O. is requesting a reduction in all of these cases.

It would've been cheaper to just use a condom. *walks away*
