    This black female celebrity had so much potential until mental illness interfered with her life and career.

    Early on, famous men attempted to date her, but her reactions and conversation became so strange, they stopped coming around.

    One celebrity said he arrived for a date and she asked him, "What the hell are you doing here?" Although he had called her earlier in the day for directions. He hightailed it out of there!

    Her meds are no longer effective. She tried new meds that had horrible side effects, leaving her disorientated and dizzy.

    She has yet to find an effective anti-depressant drug.

    Family and friends first noticed something was wrong, when she became dark and moody, attacking them with wild and negative accusations that they knew nothing about. She even accused one friend of sending her negative energy.

    She has become so strange around her family and friends, she would often put on headphones as if she was listening to music, snapping her fingers and singing along when their was no music playing.

    Sadly, she has deteriorated so bad, away from the public eye, people are wondering, will she soon be institutionalized?

    ****Whitney Houston*****
    Clue 1: Remember when Nippy was in Israel and the cameras showed her dancing with headphones on her head----it was on a special...and the anchor noted that no one
    in her entourage paid attention to her behavior.
    Clue 2----Bobby's sister, Tina, said to S2S & NI that everyone in the family believes that Whitney has a brain tumor or some brain injury.

        When you have a brain tumor or brain injury it does cause you to act irrational, and you can be perceived as mentally ill. But that is only if the injury is left untreated.

                Thank you NicScorp! I couldn't have said it better. He advised me not to monitor other's guesses yet he didn't follow his own advice because he "monitored" a poster for mentioning Whitney Houston.

                George, the Panache Staff can't sit and "not" everyone's guesses. Look at how many guesses are listed in this one BI! Fellow Panache Sleuths will either consider or give reasons as to why another poster's guess does or doesn't fit the BI. I'm sorry if I upsetted you by mentioning the obvious. Just know we feed off of each other and use each other's knowledge.

    Possibly related to this past blind item
    This black actress continues her downward spiral into severe drug addiction. First, it was the suicide attempt, the hospitalization in a mental ward and now this. Her reps manage to keep her scandals out of the press and mainstream media has no interest. She was once offered $30,000 per week ($120,000 per month) pertaining to work but her devastating crack and meth habit prevented her from reaching this goal. On the first day, she showed up, agitated, twitching and high. She and her male friend, who is also a crack addict spend all of their time in South Central crack houses. When they escape into the daylight, they are either trying to borrow money from family members or they're recycling cans. They both resemble walking corpses. The male companion got "turned out" in jail and he has traded sex for rock. Our actress has also traded sexual favors for drugs, and I would imagine, some of these encounters involved unsafe sex. Could this be the same actress Wendy Williams was talking about when she mentioned a black actress who was passed over to portray her in an upcoming biopic because of her drug addiction? Robin Givens was the second choice for the role. Hints: This actress has "never" appeared on a television series and she is extremely popular in the black community.
    **************************************
    Found an article which stated the following about her
    ************
    Being the child of a superstar can be both a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, the doors are wide open for you and the possibilities are endless; on the other hand, the pressure for you to succeed is often unbearably high.

    At first, Nona Gaye felt that she had to carry her father's torch. But then, she realized that she should try being her own person instead, and do her best to represent his legacy and name.

    This young woman had alot of potential obviously and her drug addiction and severe mental illness has pu

    Even though her father passed his voice on to her and she has great talent, she has yet to become a household name in the entertainment industry. She's currently focusing on her true passion: acting. If her past projects are any indication, we haven't seen the last of her.


    personality & talent




    There's a lot of baggage that comes with being the daughter of Marvin Gaye, but Nona has proven that she can definitely hold her own. Introverted and scared, she believes in signs, especially from her long-dead father. She often asks questions and listens to the radio. If she hears one of her dad's songs, she knows he's offering advice.

    When someone loves their job, it shows; that's the case with Nona. She's a true songstress, not only because her lyrics are powerful, but because she puts her heart and soul into every note in her high-octave vocal range.

    She also performed her own stunts while doing The Matrix sequels. This tells us that she can do anything she sets her mind to.

      Nona Gaye/Chico Debarge was the answer to the bi that u posted above but not the answer to the current blind. If u notice we get a recycled blind that was never guessed correctly. Nona was guessed correctly for the one u posted. The blind that Panache posted is a repeat and the answer is an actress that was hot but seems to be missing in action

    All of my main guess have been notted so I'm still thinking about this blind item and considering possibilities .However it would be easier to narrow some prospective individuals out if we knew if she was an actress,singer, etc.

    Its NOT Beverly Peele is it?At one time she was at the top of model game and considered possibly the next Naomi Campbell of model industry.
    Beverly Peele is an African American supermodel. She was a top fashion model in the 80s and 90s. When she rose to fame, she was nicknamed "Baby Naomi". Peele has graced over 250 magazine covers worldwide including Vogue, Mademoiselle, ELLE and Cosmopolitan. Peele has walked for all the top fashion designers, and has been featured in ads for the likes of Ralph Lauren, Donna Karen, Versace and Prada, among others.

    In an episode of The Tyra Banks Show, Beverly shared details about her battle with drugs and depression. Beverly began modeling when she was 12 years old, and claims that she was so big in fashion that she was making millions of dollars even at the age of 12. The pressure from the fashion industry got to her, and she began drinking at 13. She went on to spend huge amounts of money and was caught up in the party lifestyle. Beverly credits her daughter Cairo for saving her from her crazy partying and drug-filled lifestyle. Peele shocked the industry when she quit modeling to go to college and raise her daughter. Beverly now has two children, including Cairo and a son named Trey.

    In 2005, Peele was arrested and charged with identity theft for allegedly buying about $10,000 worth of housewares, appliances and furniture with someone else's credit card numbers. She was charged with two counts of grand theft by access card. Peele reportedly found the wallet in a supermarket. Investigators says she returned the wallet to owner, but first copied the numbers on the cards

I actually looked up to her when she came out because she was the X Factor in the music industry. I am so disappointed in her. She's one big joke now.

    Lauryn Hill didn't write most of her songs.... there are pending law suits against her so I think she is fronting to everyone so they declare insane and she doens't have to pay that big money out to the folks that really wrote her stuff. Can't sue someone for money if they aint gettin any..... Pretty much Lauryn isn't a dumb person she knows the law suits are on their way and that she will again be in the midst of financial issues after all the stuff gets exposed. She basically picked her poison and probably would rather be a strange crazy person now then be successful again and have to give up all the new money she earns to pay back to the team of writers she had. Just an FYI she did NOT I repeat... DID NOT WRITE EX-FACTOR.

    I think that the person for the blind itme is Janet Jackson

      Maybe that last line about Lauryn was directed at me since I typed "X Factor" but for clarity just in case it was, I wasn't speaking about the song. I was speaking about Lauryn Hill in general being the X Factor in the industry because she was totally different from every female that was out during her time. Her hair (locs), her skin (dark), her sound (raspy, laid back), her dress (not flashy, very modest), and the positive, uplifting material she sang about. So I wasn't referencing that particular song but her overall package.

        I know what you meant I was just saying that I believe Lauryn isn't crazy and that she is doing this stuff on purpose to avoid the legal stuff coming up. You don't go from being beautiful, inspirational, an icon to being an insane minstrel clowned out non singing aloof person for no reason. Yes Wyclef admitted they had a relationship and she never got over it... I don't know if that alone would be reason enough to go over the edge like she has. The fans are all disappointed and let down. She started acting crazy after she gave back the Grammys. I don't know if you all remember that. But I personally do not believe this insane persona she is exuding right now and Wyclef said she is NOT on drugs on some interview he did. He thinks she is bi-polar. I think she is covering her butt. Thats just my take on it. She was a great singer and the total package. I agree with Paris. Just a shame that things are the way they are for her.

          But I didn't know she gave her Grammy back!!! That is news to me. I agree with your analysis on the situation. To play insane now can benefit her later with her lawsuits. I'm just upset with how she fell completely off.

          I know Wyclef was saying one of the fallouts they had was because she wanted Producer credits for songs he was producing for their comeback album. So I can see her asking writers to let her get songwriting credits.

              dont know much about being bi polar or knowing if can develop at the age she is.... she was never like she is now. and if she is not on drugs and never ever showed any signs like this.... clef and everyone that was around her vouched that she is allof a sudden off the deep end in everything.

              that is why i say it is an act of desperation on her behalf. she is liable to return funds back to those who wrote the songs for her. however, if there is no more money or assets to liquidate.... and if she is declared "disabled" she won't be getting money like before.... and how can she return the writers the money she saw from royalty checks if she even got the royalty checks.... maybe mayra or staff can look into how shady the music business has been over the last 15 years... poor artists get robbed of their publishing and royalty money. so many artists are broke unless they get endorsement monies and "extra" types of work..... its really sad. my friend told me that i made more money than most artists and i had a 9-5 m-f day job.

              so as far as Ms. Hill (which she prefers to be called now) I feel like she knows what she is doing she is quite intelligent and a strong Black Woman. Regardless of anything I feel like she should be a true person and be herself foreal and face the consequences of the prior actions. I love her music and listen to it alot. Now A Keys is bumpin on deck but Lauryn's writers + Lauryn's voice = timeless beautiful music.

              I loved every single song on her cd. We all want what is best for her... It is unfortunate that things have derailed in her life. She needs to find herself again. Clef said he would pay for a pyschiatrist. He feels a bit responsible for her meltdown for some reason. Some men have that effect I guess... but I believe she is fronting. Rather well too.

She always had a unique style (even though the BOZO disguise has GOT TO GO!!!). Many people have brought up her mood swings, and she has pissed so many people off that they refuse to work with her...SHE IS VERY ANTI-MUSIC INDUSTRY...and has complained that the 'industry' has limited her creative control in every way...

    Lauren Hill was "notted"awhile back ,so its not her,though she was as good a guess as any.

    Whitney Houston's issues have been documented as well, but in the most recent articles and stories about her (from most peoples accounts shes doing better these days than she was prior to leaving Bobby B for the final time)Maybe her but I dont think so.
    Janet Jackson- (while she may have suffered from depression) seems happier than she has in a long time (content in her relationship) and does NOT appear to have deteriorated hysically.Shes looking great! I dont think its her either!

    Whoever this person is-they have not been spotted in the public eye in a long time,and have deteriorated so probably are showing very visible signs of a problem or mental breakdown.
    I am thinking it could be a singer, actress,or model. Another clue would be great because Im still stumped on this!

    Why I guess Lark is the statement, "famous men tried to date her". I remember reading where her and Martin were an item at one time during the late 80's/early 90's.
    My guess about ms. bledsoe is due to the fact that once she left fit club, we hadnt seen shawty since.

Her purported man was that actor Ron from A Different World, Dwayne Wayne's roommate. Then everybody during the interview started bringing up rumors that "Ron" was recently deceased and the interview got crazy from there. Either Harvey or Doc Ian stated that he was alive and that's who Tempest's man was and they were having difficulties.

    Here is a BI from 2/2006 that seems like same person:

    I talked to a NFL player during Superbowl weekend. He related an incident to me involving a very pretty black actress. He found out she was single and had a rep arrange a date. He arrived at her home; he became alarmed because she seemed disorientated and confused. She asked him, who are you? Are you here to rob me as her eyes darted from side to side? He assumed she was on drugs until he was informed; later, she was bi-polar. When she appeared on a television series, she took her medicine but the side effects left her drowsy. After the series was cancelled, she stopped taking her medicine and was often seen around Hollywood talking to herself. Hint: The NFL player is considered the best looking black man in pro football.

We have a saying "let me get my Halle on" it is a compliment to her surgeon for keeping it so natural most people dnt notice it. Beyonce did this for her 1st nose job but her 2nd nose job is not a Halle. Please be sure to check her new nose now, much too pointy for her face. Ethnic models love the Drs husband/wife team on Dr 90210.

    Okay after rereading the BI and comments, I'd like to retract my guess of Tempestt Bledsoe. I don't see her ever having a promising career and I don't see famous men flocking to date Nessa... Cept maybe Dabnus Brickney.

    I'm gonna ride the coattails of Lark Voorhies until Myra decides to not her. This sounds like it has Lisa Tuttle written all over it.

    Just for the hell of it, I'll throw in a random guess... How bout Erika Alexander (cousin Pam from The Cosby Show and Maxine Shaw from Living Single)? I think she's talented and has a lot of potential. She was on Street Time on Shotime after Living Single went off the air and had a short lived show on NBC.

It was like she was in a mood all the time or didn't want to be there. Harvey gave her his personal workout tapes she promised him she'd take with her and used it but she left it on the chair as they all went out to go the weigh in scale.

    Yes I notice she looked unhappy and I figure it may have been something more then weight gain.

    This is the first I heard about Lauryn Hill having mental & financial problems. (God Bless her)

    It's ashame that so many celebrities are blessed to have the fame they have then they end up having problems to the point of mental illness. Now having financial issues they might can come back from that by getting gigs to cover whatever they did to cover. But mental illness is a hard one to come back from because after they have gotten the help they need to recover people still look at and treat them different like they think he or she is gonna explosed like a time bomb.

      I found her attitude and demanor to be really strange especially because we were at a birthday party for one of her Cosby Show castmates and she acted like wished she was anyplace else but there, but she didn't leave. She just stood around avoiding all eye contact looking in the opposite direction as if someone was staring at her.
      I chalked it up to her being young and caught up in the fame.
      Now from what I'm reading she never changed... How unfortunate.

        Maybe she's one of those people who's just an unhappy person because of whatever issues she has in her life( not our fault) or she feels she's above others(whatEVER)but attitudes like that causes people not to like or want tobe around them. She said at one weigh in that the reason she didn't lose weight that week was b/c she had PMS

        She always had this I could or rather be somewhere else.It's funny u say she was snotty because what do she have to be snotty about maybe b/c she hasn't been in the public eye and whenever The Cosby Kids are mention

        people think right away Theo, Denise Rudy, Olivia, Kenny(aka BUD) and Vanessa last.

        I hope as she gets older she realize that attitude doesn't help her career.

            Yes I think she's in her 30's I say whenever a person has the kind of disposition is b/c they're just not happy people or they just was never taught how to talk too or treat people. Even when something is going good for them they still have the same old rude disposition.

            She mayhave very few friends and they really don't like being around her that much b/c she's just cold or unfeeling.

            Whatever her age is she old enough to know better. She's like a year around scrooge.By the way ow are u sorry for getting back so late.

        Maybe she's one of those people who's just an unhappy person because of whatever issues she has in her life( not our fault) or she feels she's above others(whatEVER)but attitudes like that causes people not to like or want tobe around them. She said at one weigh in that the reason she didn't lose weight that week was b/c she had PMS

        She always had this I could or rather be somewhere else.It's funny u say she was snotty because what do she have to be snotty about maybe b/c she hasn't been in the public eye and whenever The Cosby Kids are mention

        people think right away Theo, Denise Rudy, Olivia, Kenny(aka BUD) and Vanessa last.

        I hope as she gets older she realize that attitude doesn't help her career.

          Hidoll, there was an E true hollywood story on the Cosby Show. I remember the actor who played Denise's husband said that Tempest was very moody on the set. One minute shes speaking then the next she act like if he wasn't even there. I remember that because I was so surprise to hear that. Also she had a talk show back in 94/95. I don't think it last but one season.

    Greetings one and all... I've been reading the posts and re-reading them, and although Lark Voorhees seems like a leading contender, Hidoll mentioned Theresa Randall earlier, and I'm kind of leaning toward her. She was on the brink of breaking out; she was the lead actress in Spike Lee's "Girl 6," and then kind of disappeared from the circuit. Earlier this year, she appeared on some type of video, where she was touting her relationship with Father MC. I was very surprised. She was raving over him and his forthcoming comeback, and she didn't appear anything like the polished actress I had seen in interviews back in the day. So, the jury's still out, but I just wanted to share my thoughts. Whoever the actress is, I hope she gets help. And soon. I feel for anyone suffering with any affliction, but when you couple that with the loss of fame, but then you're still saddled with face or name recognition, that all makes seeking help that more difficult.

    Peace everyone, and have a happy, safe and blessed holiday.

    The best hint is that the person IS an actress. The second hint is that "This black female celebrity had so much potential until mental illness interfered with her life and career."

    Had so much potential means that the person did not met their potential. Their career never took off as it may have, had their mental illness never reared its ugly head. Also, the hint about dating men, in my mind indicates that this woman was a stunner. Men flocked to her, until her mental illness (erratic behavior) turned them off.

    Thandie Newton's career is going strong. She was in Beloved, Crash, had a re-occurring role on ER, etc... she has done more recent work, but I can recall the names. Just because she's more low-key than most doesn't mean her career is over.

    Tempest Bledsoe had a career, as a child actress.. she just didn't have one as an adult.

    Pam Grier had a career in the 70's and still has one now.

    Ann Marie Johnson had a long standing career, and I believe she is still working.

    Troy Bayer, Lisa Bonet may be a possible answers to the BI.

      PLEASE DO RESEARCH before u start posting a list of women who are still working!!! U have women on this list who are on TV shows, and recent movies and or working on Broadway. Up above u had Diana Ross and Pam Grier, these women have had long and EXCEPTIONAL careers. The bi said the actress never reached her potential and tht means she didnt really work long or only had a few successes under her belt. Stop posting ever black women who came to mind just for the hell of it. U do this on every post and really it is starting to get ridiculous. :{
      Think about the BI, re-read the clues, look up ur guesses and then you should only come up w/ 2-3 people who match the criteria not 50!
      U had Natalie Cole, Diana Ross and they are known as LEGENDARY singers not someone who did not reach their potential.

    Due to her regal bearing, she commands much respect. Unfortunately, she would never reach her full potential. She would never fly high. She's a working girl who makes most of her money the last 5 weeks of the year. Rumor has it that behind closed oven doors, she likes to be fully stuffed!

    Victoria Dillard has not worked in film or Tv since 2004. That Lowes commercial was in 2006. We may be on to something w/ Ms. V Dillard. Everyone else we have named on this list is either still working or married w/kids and still working in showbiz on a lowkey level.

    The reasons I discount Lark Voorhies are due to her having a film coming out in 2008 and a lot of the reason that she doesn't work has to do with not wanting to do simulated sex scenes or even nudity due to her religious beliefs. She also had enough presence of mind to attempt to sue the tabloids for printing the cocaine, bipolar allegations. Think about it did Martin, Whitney or Bobby even try to sue the tabloids when they printed their dirt? They bashed them but didn't sue and now we know why, dn't we Lark was married to Miguel Coleman from 1996-2004 and he works in the business so anyone who wanted to date her when she was hot, would have known not to come over to her HOUSE! Lark has also recently gotten married again and has had a child plus has a movie about to be released.

    Actress/Singer was a big clue. Lisa Bonet is not trying to be a singer. Victoria Dillard would have been a great guess 'cause where is she? Again, not listed as a singer. You may have something with Olivia Brown. I haven't heard a peep from her since her break-up with Mikelti Williamson. Renee Jones...can't be her because she's been working on Days. Too bad because my brother dated her back in the 80's and he said she was "too weird". Tracy Camilla Johns may be the best bet. She hasn't done anything since New Jack City (according to imdb). Okay, to sum it up Tracy Camilla Johns or Oliva Brown. Come on now, Paris.

    Tyler Collins is listed as a singer /somg writer not an actress.
    Mai Campbell was a great guess because we all (or most of us have heard )about her mental issues and drug addiction,but as mentioned she has already been NOTTED,along with LisaNicole Carson, and Lauren Hill ,Nonay Gaye,among others!

      I know Tyler Collins isn't listed as an actress but she had a bit part in that movie with Forrest Whitaker & Robin Givens set in the 30's (title escapes me) and she was on a couple of episodes of Fresh Prince.

    But how many Miss Universes are in A rated movies...come on now. Maybe that is all Kenya Moore wants to do or maybe she doesn't have any acting skills. Anyways it doesn't necessarily mean something is wrong with her......SMH

    Lark DOES have mental problems, no matter what she says. Just ask some of the Nurses in L.A.
    Essence was introduced to a latino actor (prison break) initials R.G. by Will Smith. He left her because of her erratic behavior. I'm going with Lark because someone said she is doing a new movie and in Paris' clue she said this person still IS an actress as if to confirm that.

    off topic, I saw the Essence cover, and thought the caption Should read:

    "D-Listers share a cover, and speak out against the truth"

    LOL!

      Good observation, ROFLMAO, the nerve of the talentless three. When stars go on record like that, it means the truth is being spoken and their publicists cannot control the net

    I seen this special on E! or one of those channels doing a special on child stars, updates on them, and stuff, and Lark was on it. She was like she's saved and the reason she wasn't in a lot of movies was because she didn't want to sacrifice her values or her faith. Apparently she's a really devout Christian (or just crazy). She's also going to be in a movie that's going to come out next year.
    I always go to http://www.imdb.com/ to find out info on actors/actresses. The site gives detailed lists of celebrities' onscreen/ offscreen acting gigs including upcoming ones.

      And in my opinion, from watching the special, Lark was a bit off... can't put my finger on it why, though.

        Christianity is a good cover for her bi polar, media takeout has a story on Maia Campbell being committed but I think they based the story around this blind item and at the beginning of this BI, it clearly says that it is not maia. Once again, MTO got it wrong, lol.

    I think this is Lark remember she has a known history of using street drugs and most people who have mental health issues self medicate she was outted in one of those rag sheets and threatened to sue, however, she never did because they had proof of everything they said. Tempest is also a good guess because my perception of her is that she is just as weird in person as she was on the cosby show. Did you guys know that Theo is married to charmain from a different world. Thats interesting.

    Let me clear this up most people who are diagnosed with a mental illness will take their medications for a short period of time and when the sympthoms cease they mistakenly believe that they "are better" and stop taking the meds then you get those who self medicate (street drugs) and usually do not get back on meds until they have a complete breakdown.

    Good Afternoon ! I think Lark is a good possibility. Certainly not the only one though. On the imbd boards re: Lark ,some posters were asking back in 11/2006 if she was really mentally ill (bipolar). I remember a while back she dated Martin Lawrence but, it didn't last long. Not sure what happned with her two marriages.

    As soon one else posted above she was threatening to sure the either Enquirer or Star . But, backed out of it. Early on she had alot of potential.
    Pic of her as of 6/07 : Looks like her looks have also faded.

    Did anyone say Lauryn Hill. Is she considered an actress? Wyclef and Pras both said recently that she has serious mental problems and she certainly was supposed to go on and have an illustrious career but that certainly hasn't happened. Plus the blind item says something about accusing family and friends of doing things to her. Didn't Lauryn accuse her family of taking advantage of her and wasn't speaking to them for a time. Either she moved out of her N.J. home or she put her family out. That's when she took off with her "husband" and isolated herself from everyone. Also, there was mention a while back that some of her hired help had spoken out about how weird Lauryn is and that she expected them to work extra hours but wasn't paying them properly. Maybe someone else knows more about but she might be a good guess.

    Happy post Thanksgiving fellow Panachigans. Loved hangin' with the fam but I missed you guys. My guess is Victoria Dillard. I have always thought she was really beautiful but I couldn't understand why her career seemed to languish. My girl L Boogie (Laryn) is crazy but I don't think this is her. That Marley boy got her all twisted.
