This rapper hates being a downlow bi-sexual. He hates everything that gays stand, similar to a racist being attracted to blacks.
He has swagger, arrogance and bravado with a scowl and he talks about gays like a dog at every opportunity with his homeboys. Calling them "disgusting trash" yet he secretly patronizes a online male escort/shemale brothel which takes less than five minutes to order up a male hustler or transvestite (pre-op) escort in your area.
When he isn't ordering up male hustlers like Chinese food, we've also been informed that he also likes the "low rent" looking transvestites, the trashier looking, the better. His type is: Transvestites who you can physically tell-were once men.
He doesn't patronize transsexuals, he only prefers pre-op transvestites who still have their male genitalia. What's even more surprising, our rapper is "the bottom," in the encounters and according to our sources, the scenario has to be rough and somewhat painful.
Hint: He's not a mogul and he isn't married. Reply to this

I briefly thought of T.I. but then I remembered that T.I. was the suggested answer to another BI about a gay celeb who had a crush on a rapper and the rapper told him, in no uncertain terms, that he would whoop his azz if he tried anything.
Anyway, with all that said, I am sad to say that my guess is none other than Wayne aka "Weezy". Reply to this

The drama unfolded at the 11th Street Diner, which is next door to gay club Twist, early Sunday morning. “The restaurant was packed with transvestites, gay men and drag queens, which obviously made Busta a little edgy,” eyewitness Thomas Barker e-mails. “This became evident when a young gay guy came up behind Busta and tapped him on the shoulder to congratulate the rapper on his recent comeback. Before the guy could even mutter a word, Busta turned around and repeatedly screamed, ‘Why the [bleep] you touchin’ me, man? Get the [bleep] away from me’ . . . his two huge bodyguards then caused an even larger scene by pushing the kid away . . . Busta quietly whispered to his bodyguards, ‘I hate [bleeping] faggots, man.’ Reply to this

I agree, this leisure sexuality that we have been talking about for I don't know how long on this particular blog (and any other blog or website for that matter) IS and HAS been going on as long as there has been Money and Access.
The reason, in my opinion, that we are reading and hearing about it so much and so often right now is because the Internet has provided a way to get information on anything you want...as long as you know how to search for it. And since people (like us on this web site) like juicy gossip, we are reading about this everyday and it's blowing our minds a bit because before the Internet, we only had the controlled news that the papers and the tv news channels wanted to give us. And, of course, word of mouth. But that's it.

If my memory serves me right they won't be available until SOME years later. It was said that if Blacks knew those secrets they would see MLK in a whole nother light. In regards, to Biggie and Tupac. I don't know what to believe I had heard so many stories about their death. In conclusion, Wendy Williams reportedly has photos of Puffy and rapper "Loon" who used to be on BadBoy label in the act !

Hey Lina B....and that's the point. So many people (without doing their own research) are fickle! They choose to believe everything they hear w/o confirmation or research of any kind. MLK, Jr doing his personal life should be personal and have nothing to do with his professional life...however, lines get blurred and things get twisted. He was a "chosen one" for Black people to come up, but he is still a man; and let's not forget man is fallable. Just think about the implications of our most infamous Civil Rights Leader and all that he's accomplished and then think about our most infamous Civil Rights Leader as a disrespectful, polygamous, sexual deviant and how do you feel about his messages now? You see people have to put angelic halos around "leaders" sometimes to the point that they forget they are human and have faults. People would like leaders to be above reproach and I certainly don't think anybody is above reproach.
I often use a (what I think is) powerful excercise for the teenagers I interact with on a regular basis: It is to look into a mirror and be brutally honest with yourself and take responsibility for your contribution to our societal ills and/or good will. It's not an easy thing to do. I promise you, if you really do it, you will run the gamut of emotions during this exercise.
Back to MLK, Jr... If in some years, when/if they release this so called "damaging personal" info, how will it affect you? Will you change your feelings towards the message that he put out? I doubt it, but you will probably have a few choice words about the MAN...that you'd be entitled to speak on (privately) but the important thing is his message and how we as a people have benefitted from his legacy.
Also I don't think white folks get away with as much as we think. They are often punished and outcast as everybody else but they are probably in a better financial situation before SNAFU hits so they can go away quieter than we can.
Parents visit that oneshare place Myra mentioned and start teaching your children how to be astute when it comes to their finances. If you don't teach them, stands to reason no one will!!!

My point was what Martin did in the bedroom should not take away any of his credibility because he is a man and the KKK deliberately looked for an issue to exploit. The comment was also about how the KKK didn't/dsn't do any white politician bashing on the same issues of drugs/cheating/and alcohol.

Obviously, I have no idea as to whether or not Dr. King was gay. However, I do know that he had an openly gay close aide--Bayard Rustin. Dr. King was strongly urged by those in his inner circle to distance to keep this guy in the background, but Dr. King refused. This would have been prudent considering the times, the fact the he was a minister and leading a moral charge. Reply to this

I heard those things about MLK also that he had affairs and Mrs.Coretta Scott looked the other way on it and other things that MLK did would have made those who looked up to him in a different way.

I wonder if thats the reason Mrs. Jesse Jackson stood by Jesse after finding out he fathered a child outside their marriage.
I remember older elders saying that women back in the day looked the other way when she heard from others that they'er husband was out creeping. Remember in The Color Purple when Mister brings home Ms Sug Avery so his wife Ceclie can take care of her and nurse her back to health. And old Mister said "Ceclie yous haves my symathy not many wives will let her husbands HO live in her house" and she just looked at him and spit in his water?
She should have spit in the Mister's water and food. And the way Ms. Sug treated her plus called her ugly before she even came into her house. Ms Ceclie should have bath her in scolding hot water and feed her half cooked food. Reply to this

Now Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton I have never really been a fan of b/c both men are shady, I read that JJ admitted that he used to spit in white people food and anyone who would spit in someone food be they white or not I just don't trust them.

The reason Coretta did not endorse him when he ran for Prez, because it was always rumored, when MLK got shot, Jesse ran to him, covered himself in his blood and concoted a story that he was nearby. Jesse returned to Chicago later and charged his flock $50 a head to recount his MLK assassination story. He was hooked up with Margot Kidder who also had a thing with Richard Pryor and Jesse was also with Robert Flack for years. Big male slut and he has a biracial grandchild. They hide the kid from the media, but his son is the father. Reply to this

Its true!!BTW....Martin never trusted Jesse.Rev.abernathy wrote a book about Martin titled "And the Wall Came Tumbling" Ralph talks about MLK's distrust of Jesse.This book was basically buried by Jesse and others.
The theory on Jesse is the he was recruited (fbi?) to infiltrate MLK's inner circle.He was 5th on the pecking order,with Albernathy the #2 man followed by Andy Young & Hosea Williams,then Jesse.When Martin was killed their was a heavy media buildup of Jesse as the next "great" leader.Its no secret that the FBI&CIA would plant stories in the media to propagandize whom ever or what ever agenda they had in mind.The science of any political assasination is recruit/pick your puppet 1st before you eliminate the individual they deem uncontrollable.
Alot of Jesse's shortcomings have been covered up for a long time.(example:womanizing & not to mention his operation push money)
Jesse has always been part of the establishment.He's a member on the council on foreign relations as well as he's in the boule' Reply to this

Good Day all! Yes, Messy Jesse is scum. IMO he isnt worth discussion...
As a young person (I was in 6th grade) I was COMPLETELY crushed when I met one of MLK's mistresses. The thing that bothered me was that this being, I have a hard time trying to call her a woman, was so proud to tell all of the intimates about MLK. I likened it to a woman that youve just met telling you about your grandfather. The sting behind him cheating is one thing, but to hear details is heartbreaking!

Is this bi-racial grandchild the child of Jesse's son who once dated Allison Payne, a beautiful news anchor on WGN News Chicago? If it is, it is my understanding that Allison had been in love with one of Jesse's sons, but had to let him go once she found out he had been cheating on her with, and impregnated, his white secretary.

I had heard that the FBI tapes contained conversations that MLK had with Ralph Abernathy, where they were referring to each other in a manner that could've been misconstrued as something akin to being lovers. I think that it made for good folly for the Feds, who really didn't understand that sometimes we refer to each other in strange terms. Who knows?
The rumors of his womanizing were however documented by the Feds, and that was the major grist that J.Edgar Hoover (who had many issues of his own), was trying to use against Dr. King. The Movement had a lot of known homosexuals, i.e. Bayard Rustin, and I guess it was more or less another thing they wanted to hang over Dr. King's head. Reply to this

I don't believe that for a minute, it's amazing what rumors people will spread on someone just to get attention.
If there is such a picture then where is it? and who's to say that the two men posed for the picture it could have been where someone took a picture of MLK and another one of this Rev. Sam Billy guy and pasted them together to give the illusion that they were together in a sexually manner.
People who are famous or anyone who's doing good always have people out there ready to spread negative stories on them b/c lets face it, some people don't like seeing others doing good or right.
It happens to famous people and people we know personally
If a friend,neighbor, an ex, a co-worker or relative is doing good at whatever u can bet someone is on patrol to spread negative lies or stories on him or her.
MLK did so much good for our people and others of course someone gonna say negative things about him. HELL the fool who shot and killed him couldn't stand him doing good. Lets say that this picture does exist, and if he did cheat on Ms. Coretta and he was on the DL and whatever other negative thing. Does that out weight what he did for our people and others? does that take away that he died trying to make a difference? Reply to this

Now you know someone isn't in their right mind when they tattoo craziness like that on this face or forehead....that is REE-DIC-U-LOUS!
Now, I must admit that I had an aunt who spent time in the mental ward herself for the very same thing. She was the mistress to a locally-popular preacher (back in the 80's) who was married. She and the preacher would do hard core drugs together and, from what I was told, he would play mind games with her, promising her the world but always doing the bare minimum to keep her around. Somewhere somehow she snapped, started calling herself his wife's name, and walking around the city saying she was married to this preacher. She also saw hallucinations and was just all out crazy. Her sisters (one being my mom) took her to the mental ward and she admitted herself ONLY because she thought that was a way to get away from her sisters. If I'm not mistaken, she was there for at least a week, if not longer before she released herself.
Like, I said, this was in the early 80's and she hasn't been right since. She used drugs for quite some time afterwards and would still say and do crazy things.
Example: one day my cousins and I were over our grandmother's house (her mother's house) and, of course, she was there telling all of us that she grew up with R. Kelly and the lead singer from Mint Condition and they all use to make paper airplanes in church.
In the last 5 years, she got clean BUT her brain is so fried that it's like she's constantly high. Now her "drug of choice" is food; eats everything in sight.
I've said this before; I think that some times people have something in their makeup that is a little off, but they can function like everyone else and show absolutely no signs of anything until someone or something (or a combination) takes them over the age. In my aunt's case it was the drugs and this man she choose to chase who was married. Reply to this

Get out from the get go. Bad decisions can affect your life and stifle your growth personally and professionally. Reply to this
More than likely the kids WILL repeat the behavior because in their minds they think this is what love is suppose to be. The son will think that to love a woman, he has to control her mentally and beat her down. The daughter will think it is alright for a man to do this to her. It's that vicious cycle that everyone talks about but not so many people break.
Like it was state, this choice to stay in this relationship will affect your life on every level: personally, professionally, mentally, emotionally, your spirit will end up broken...all of that stuff if you don't take care of yourself.
Decide what you want out of life and go for it! Don't think that a man hitting you is the way you deserve to live BECAUSE IT'S NOT! Nobody needs to live like that.

I have to add my 2 cents. My husband got a call from his cousin at 6 a.m. this morn. Her bf just threw 2 chairs at her after she told him she was pregnant with their child. He told her it was not his and she was a lying bitch. She had to hide in the bathroom to keep out of harms way. My husband offered to come get her and her 7yrold daughter and have them stay with us but she refused to leave. She called back an hour later with him screaming and cussing and threatening her in the background. He tried to convince her to leave but she refused. He is so upset. I offered to speak with her but he said she wont speak with me since she does not know me that well and she is particular about who she talks to.

I agree with what all of you have said this is why that movie The Burning Bed is one of my faovrite movies to see a woman do what she felt she needed to do to safe her life and her kids life. Because even after she left him he still kept coming around abusing her.
Now I know some people would disagree that I glorify her setting fire to him while he was asleep but what I'm saying is that whenever a person be it man, woman or child anyone who's a victim of any kind of abuse and they have called for help to family, police or taken it to court only to have that abusive person come back to do more damage. Because in the case where they're are kids involved and the abused woman have to by law have to let the kids see they're father and he still comes around and hits her the woman do what she has to do to stay alive and if that means he's killed in the process of her and the kids trying to escape his abuse then that the way it turns out.
And yes sad to say sometimes when the sons see his daddy hitting his mother or other women he may likley do the samething when he grows up b/c we all know kids do as they see they're parents do. Reply to this

I tell them don't go all crazy for these rappers/singers they are human with serious secrets and faults. I tell them worship God and him alone. Reply to this

Maya one suggestion, please take this time to reflect and think about what you really want to do in life. We the company I worked for downsized. I mean DOWNSIZED, the offered a center for us to come to and take classe and to access what we really like doing. A lot of us changed careers, started our own business, it was so refreshing. So, just take your time before you get back into the rat race and determine what your passion is and make a career out of it. Good Luck! Reply to this

Maya, something better will come along for you, trust me on this. You have the right attitude. Clue: What is your passion? That is the key to your destiny, create a career around your passion. My passions are writing and gourmet cooking. I have a story to share, a dear male friend of mine died and I promised to help his children career wise. His daughter had a degree in political science, through connections, I asked her if she would like a White House internship, she politely turned it down. To keep my promise to my friend, another opportunity came up at $100,000 per year to be a personal assistant to a famous black celeb, she turned this down as well with hesitation. I soon realized, she is scared of success and is currently making minimum wage working at a store. About a yr. later, she came around asking if either job was available because she was in a financial crunch, they weren't but I wouldn't have helped her again anyway because she proved she was not reliable.

Myra, I hope you don't mind my adding my 2 cents to the story about your friend's daughter but I think that happens so much to people in my generation. My dad is a psychologist and he calls it being "programmed to fail". I have friends who went to the same schools that i went to (where my high school tuition was more than my college tuition) and they made pretty solid grades but when it was time to step out and apply all of that education they just wouldn't or couldn't. And now i think we may be the first generation that doesn't do better than our parents. Reply to this

Litigating, I appreciate your two cents, we often speak the same language, good point, programmed for failure. She was 21 and had a chance to intern at the White House where she could have used her political science to degree to network and get on with a lobbyist firm and then develop into a powerful lobbyist. Like stockbrokers, I don't know any broke lobbyists. I laid out this plan to her, she seemed scared to death and is content with minimum wage employment but has a degree, no ambition. I can take you to the water but I can't force you to drink it. Having the white house on your resume in any capacity is prestigious and increases your chances for gainful employment. Oh well.

Myra, thank you so much for your kind words, coming from a successful woman like yourself, I feel honored. My passion is working with others.

I would recommend reading books by Dave Ramsey (www.DaveRamsey.com) because he has practical steps to get debt-free and live on cash ONLY while investing in college funds and retirement...and it's all spiritually based. He even has classes throughout the country called "Financial Peach University", which is a 13-week course to help show people how to live debt-free and by paying cash for everything, including houses and cars.
Another tip, on Labor Day, Memorial Day (I think), and Christmas time, he always sells his books on his site for $10 each. He has a national radio show and a tv show on Fox Money if you want to hear callers call in and advice him.
Another tip I can give, which is similar to what a few other people have said: Find what you're passionate about and make a written plan to make money at that goal.
I, myself, helped establish and ran a small real estate brokerage and a couple years ago it tanked due to family that were employeed there (and other reasons). You know the saying, don't work with family. I learned that lesson the hard-ass way!
Like I said, that was 2 years ago. I got a job doing something I'm good at but it's not my passion so I complain almost everyday about having to go there. And after thinking about it for quite some time, I figured out that I have been given a chance to follow my passion. I love luxury real estate (big houses) and I love weddings and physical fitness. So I'm working on those 3 things and trying to figure out a way to make money doing them.
If you tap into your passion and make a job out of it, the money will follow. AND it will be so easy because it's your passion. It's something you WANT to do, not something you HAVE to do. Reply to this

Paying for cash only is GREAT advice and was the only way I was able to get myself out of debt. But when it was time to purchase my home, because I didn't have any positive credit (Like credt cards. I even cut up my atm debit card because I was abusing that too and paying 300-400 a paycheck in penalities) for the previous 2 years and before negative credit before then, my FICA score was still low and I got in with a high interest rate. Now that I have my mortgate - 13 months yea!! - and I got myself one of those credit cards with to re-establish credit.. I still only spend what I have available in my account, but I pay for it with the card and then turn right around within a week or two and pay the balance off from my checking account. In today's world you have to have some type of positive credit.. I think..
What do you think of that? Am I doing the right thing?
Also, after living from paycheck to paycheck for most of my 20s.. okay all of my 20s I now have saved about $10K and I'm a secretary and mother of 4 so that was monumental for me. BUT, it's not making me any money.. Do you know of places I could go to learn to invest or which stocks to use? I really peaked up when I read Paris say you could buy stock for the kids. I am just really afraid to lose everything that I have worked so hard for so I am leary of things I don't have knowledge of. If that makes sense. Thanks for indulging me. Reply to this

There is a way to get a mortgage for a home without having a FICO score. Dave Ramsey recommends Churchill Mortgage, this is on his website.
Because you have a low FICO score or no FICO at all, you would have to find a lender who does their own underwriting and not a lender that let's a computer do the underwritting for them. Most lenders use the FICO score to determine the terms of the loan.
A lender who does their own underwriting will look at your employment history, how much a down payment you may have, and basically do what they use to do in the old days to determine if you are able to pay back the loan or not. It is a lot more work, and a lot of lenders don't use this method because it is a lot more work.
Now, in my opinion, if you can 100% pay off your credit cards at the beginning of each month and have a zero balance at all times, then go for it. Take advantage of the free miles or whatever benefits the credit card company offers BUT pay in full to avoid the interest. But 80% of people out there (if not more) intend on doing that, but they end up paying the minimum payment thus paying interest.
To me, the way to go is cash and only mortgage out the house. And if you mortgage the house, pay extra so that you can pay it off sooner, saving yourself money in interest. Forget the tax write-off that people boost about for having a house payment; Dave Ramsey breaks this down in his book.
A FICO score is useless to me. I believe you can survive without it. The Bible even talks about not being a slave to debt (couldn't tell you off the top of my head where, but I want to say it's in Proverbs).
You, yourself, have an example of how a FICO score is useless. You paid off your debts, proved you could do that, and because all your debt was paid off and you had nothing but income, your FICO score was low or not even there and you had a hard time finding a lender. Makes no sense, right? Reply to this

As far as investing, I'm just tapping into this myself so I don't know everything. BUT from what I'm reading so far the way to go is Mutual Funds. There are several types of funds to choose from. Another good investment is Roth IRA, which grows tax-free.
Most banks offer these types of financial planners, or you could actually meet with and interview different Financial Planners in your city like AIG, New York Life, Smith Barney, etc. Tell them what your goals are, have them work out a plan, and see which one works best for you, then hire one.

@Nita- just wanted to add. If you decide to speak with a financial advisor, ask around for recommendations. My ex-hubby is an investor so when I was married, he gave me a lot of tip for investing my 401k and my outside investments. When we split, my company became part of a joint venture and I was faced with a multitude of decisions re: some stocks and investments that I had to either leave with the old company, move to the new company or move elsewhere. At the time I was going through a divorice and didn't want to ask the ex for advice. I asked questions to people that I knew were more knowledgable than myself and got the name of a few advisors. Met with the first one and got a bad vibe- I believe in following my instincts with the vibes. She spoke down to me and I didn't like her tude so I moved to the next person. The next advisor was like magic- we hit it off right away and I signed with that firm. I had the opportunity to meet Chris Garner after hearing him speak and 1 thing that stuck with me was when he said...when it comes to investing, it's not a black thing, it's not a white thing, it's a green thing. I am an advocate of doing black business whenever I can but if it's not the right situation go with someone that has a proven track record and explore your options. Be ready to share your short & long term goals and the right advisor will tell you how to mix your investments and risk ( high and low) to achieve your goals! Reply to this

Pls go to csum.edu and you want to get on with the USNC Artic if you can but the other ships are great to. You work 6-8 months out the year, and can work as often or less often as you like, plan your own schedule, free food on the ships with maid service. You also receive full benefits. So this may be the school you would want to attend. After you graduate, normal job offers are 77 per student. More men at the academy than women but they desperately need women. Hope this helps.

I will keep my experience short as possible.
I started working over 30 yrs ago, my first corporate job mentioned nothing "to me" about savings plans, 401k or retirement. I was young, had a son and was just happy to have a job. I lost 10 yrs of investments and money. The job I have now has connected me with people that were willing to talk to me about investing/watching the market. A Brother here was sooo helpful. He told me to invest as much as I could when I become eligible (2 yrs). Well 1% was it. I was laid off after 10 yrs and that 1% grew to $40g's. At that time the companys stock was about $122 a share. I took the money because I was strapped. I am back with the company I did not loose any time and now I can match the companys 6% and I am watching every penny. A manager told me years ago, when your annual increase comes around, if your expenses have not changed drastically during the year, put your increase in your 401k and that's what I'm doing. Other outside investments have put me over the top and investing in portfolios. I have a serious Sister helping me and others to a real early retirement. It is such a wonderful blessing/feeling to be dept free and able to help with my Grand kids.

But, unfortunately all the rumors of him kirking out on the gay community and his ex-wife now being lesbian leads me to believe that this BI is him. At first I thought Lil Weezy and I still think somethings not quite right with him and his "daddy", but, this BI I think is definitely Busta. excuse, if I am rambling haven't had that first cup of Joe =) Reply to this

I must admit.. when I read this BI before I went to bed last night (no comment section then).. I immediately thought CHINGY because he has been all over the place denying his bi-sexuality (bi-sexuality=gay to me!!).. but even though CHINGY has been very vocal about this.. he still doesn't have SWAGGER, BRAVADO WITH SCOWL.. so it can't be him..
BUSTA is so phony... how can you dog the gay community, yet dine and hang around INSIDE the community.. DOES ANYONE NOTICE THAT HE SEEMS TO BE ALWAYS IN THE VICINITY OF THE GAY COMMUNTIY?.. and when the media comes around.. he puts on the act? All celebrities ACT when the cameras are around.. because there's no privacy? Are you picking up what I am putting down? Can someone co-sign on this?
Oh yea.. I want to send a shout out to Heather Hunter.. who I havent heard from lately.. Have a wonderful weekend, and keep the art coming DIVA.. keep making this world beautiful... Reply to this

i have a question for you. is vanessa blue a 'force' behind the scenes in porn. she seems to be doing it up? she comes across as 'highly' intelligent not just smart.
why doesn't 'adam and eve' have black contract girls? i know that carmen is of some latin descent, but there are black porn actresses that can hold their own, i.e. $$$$$.
if i am not mistaken vanessa has some dealings with 'adam and eve' on a business level? Reply to this

On this topic, this is Busta Rhymes. A young black guy did a documentary on homophobia and homophobic attitudes within Hip-Hop. When he questioned Busta Rhymes, he acted like a complete fool, shut the guy down saying he refused to even get into this with him, and walked out on the interview. This, along with his other public antics sealed the deal for me when I saw it. This was approximately 1-2 years back.

First & foremost, I would hardly EVER respond to sh*t talking from anyone but today I make an exception. These two ASS HOLES have gone on a rampage to destroy my name today while no one was even THINKING about them. If you read the blog comments, I was referred to by Dawn’s sister as a transvestite f**king homosexual who beats women & has sex with every woman he meets! Wow…gay but has sex with every woman I meet…LOL…this sh*t is a laugh! Well…since she felt the need to have her sister & a few of her closest friends come over here let me give you all the REAL reason why I left Dawn’s ass!!!
One…she was signed up to porno sites & wanted to swing with other couples…before I got involved with her she admitted to sleeping with 17 men in one month from one swinging site…I GAVE HER THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT & THOUGHT SHE WAS JUST REALLY COMPENSATING FOR ALOT OF INSECURITY! I stayed. THEN…she NAGGED the shit out of me day in & day out because I was always busy & she didn’t know enough about the business to just get her own shit done…NO…she wanted to be a f***ing DIVA & complain about EVERY f***ing thing that I DID set up like she was still BEYONCE! NOBODY was checkin for her ass when I was with her! NOBODY hardly would book shows unless she was in En Vogue…I side busted & got their asses back together but the only ones who knew what they were doing was the other 3 members of the group! THEY were the smart ones!
They knew how to get shit done & book shows but I had to always appease Dawn’s ass & say…”no, you’re right baby…those old tired bitches ain’t nothing without you”…SHIT…she is quite literally THE stupidest person I have ever met…I fell out of love with her…I left her…now these IDIOTS are coming to my page trying to destroy my name with my fans??? HOW DARE YOU!!! You don’t want to dance with me! Why? Because I dont give a F**K! Your record is PUBLIC! You got kicked out of En Vogue & they didn’t even want to FACE you because you are the most DIFFICULT person in the world to deal with! They left you sitting at a photo shoot for the last album & didn’t tell you where they were at shooting the EV3 cover without you…remember that???
Raphael Saadiq kicked you out of Lucy Pearl because your attitude jeapordized an operation he worked HARD to get off the ground…and HE didn’t even face you…you found out you got kicked out on the RADIO!! Ask yourself why Dawn…because…you’re a phony, nagging, complaining, two faced, spoiled rotten BITCH!!!!! We haven’t even STARTED talking about your deal with Dr. Dre! What happened there Dawn? He BOOTED you before you even started because he saw your mouth a mile away! You dug this grave for yourself!

She needs to do a power move like the Hollywood players and have her tricks added into her contract, bought and paid for. She needs the insurance and I also heard she was creeping with that Solid Gold Girl. Reply to this

Aretha Franklin's book was the most disappointing book to profile on this site because she glossed over everything. I think we only found two statements excerpt worthy and that was it. We will be excerpting Phyllis Hyman in the near future. Reply to this

You are so right, When I finished Aretha's book when it came out,I had to go on a serious diet. All that women talked about was food (greens, chitlins) straight up soul food. Didn't talk much about her life at all. It was very disappointing. Someone needs to do an unauthorized book on her...Like the person that did "Call Her Miss Ross"..... Reply to this

Hi Charles, "Call her Miss Ross" was not holding anything back. I felt like I was watching every Soap Opera, mystery movie and drama. When I was done I was like Whoa, Ms. Ross might be the boss but she better sleep with one eye open cause that past may come back in a big big way. Reply to this
That book was Off Da Chain...When I started reading it I couldn't put it down. So I feel you when you say it had Soap Opera, Mystery and Drama...They need to do a book like that on Aretha.. I am sure there is or was more dirt than she told about herself. Did you read Diana's Book she wrote??? If you didn't don't. I have had that book for years and never made it thru the 1st chapter. She was basically like Aretha, not talking about nothing.... Reply to this

I think part of the reason she didn't blow up after Sparkle was because Motown, or whatever label that distributed the soundtrack, replaced her version of the Curtis Mayfield songs with Aretha's.
I have mad respect for Aretha, but Lonette's versions were superior and had those singles been released she would have been R&B's next IT girl. At least she is supposed to be producing a movie with Spike Lee. Reply to this

Sparkle was a cool movie, it was on a few weeks ago. Irene Cara was ok in the movie but I agree that Loretta Mckee was the better actress. I saw that movie back in I think 75 or 76 and I remember crying when Sister's died from an overdose, it was scary to see her in that coffin that was the first time I saw someone in a coffin in the movie so it kinda freaked me out.
The other sister played by atress Dawn?I never saw her in anything after that movie. Phillip Michael Thomas was good in the movie as Stix. Sparkle was like a Dreamgirls thingy I kinda thought Irene Cara was a little young but she still did a ok job. I guess I kinda don't blame her too much for having a crush on Phillip Micheal I mean he's a cutie pie and she got to kiss him so it's kinda hard not to be attracted. Loretta Mckee I thought she was so pretty and I have always loved the actress Mary Alice who played the mother.Whenever Sparkle comes on I have to watch it. Reply to this

Hi Anon2, this is something I never got, why is it that Terry Mcmillian didn't realize when she met her younger hubby that he was gay? I mean when U look back at the picture they took together u can tell right off that he's gay. I mean was it that she was too close to notice or was she in denile.
A friend of mine was saying that when they were on Oprah it seemed strange and she thinks Terry knew all alone that he was gay but maybe Terry hope that she could change him and when she couldn't she was so hurt that she just decided to expose him and to keep from being embarrassed over it all so she claim to not have known he was gay.
I think it was kinda odd too when they were on Oprah it's something the two of them is not saying because I think she knew and maybe have paid him not to say she knew. Because at one point I think they let it slap that she got turned on the way other men looked at him.
So I'm not convinced that she didn't know he was gay. I mean my goodness his eyebrows are waxed better then hers his style in clothes is better then hers, his hair is whipped better then hers.
As much as I love me some Star Jones I think the same in gonna happen with her marriage later on down the way her hubby is gonna come forward and admit that the talk about him being gay is all true. I don't know if she's claim she didn't know( b/c she does) but in Star Jones case I think she accepts him being gay or bi but she's so in love with him and she might feel that she may not ever get a chance at marrige again so she and he married each other because I'm sure they love each other and they married for companionship.

I think Terry was desperate for love, making something that was supposed to be a fling into something long-term. He made her feel a certain way that she didn't care about his same-sex attraction.

Ur right B- I think the same about her being desperate and that she could have seen him coming a mile away. And after six yrs of marriage I'm sure there were many times he did something that showed her signs that he's gay. I bet her family picked up on it right away and Terry no dout made excuses for the way he carries himself.
This is how it may have happen he saw this much older woman (from a mile away) dollars signs all around her. He saw his prey(rich older woman) and being the nice looking young guy he is turned on the charm to this older woman with dollars signs around her. She being a woman who has had her share of being with men who was either no good, dogs or who couldn't handle being with a strong woman. Here comes this goodlooking young guy who( may not know who she is) giving her attention, there are some many nice looking girls all around half dressed but he's giving all his attention to me ignoring the young girls. So she was overwhelmed by this and of course enjoying it because of all her traveling she's done over the yrs this is by far the best b/c I have this young cutie pie giving me attention. They hangout the whole time she's there he( knowing he's gay is willing to play straight) b/c this sista is Terry Mcmillions "Ooops" I mean Mcmillian and being that I'm flaming gay and thats a (no no) over here heres my chance to get out of here and go over to where I can be free to be me without worrying about being stoned to death. So I'll play straight until I can do it no more. Since she seems to be taken by my goodlooks,youth and charm we both are getting something out of this I get to go to the land of freedom and she gets to be envied by all for having such a young fine thang as her husband.( I just hope my gayness do come out too much too soon)I'll wait a decent time to relieve my gayness to her like OHHHHHHH, six yrs unless someone wise up and tell her before. DAMN I HOPE THAT DON'T HAPPEN I DON'T WANTA MOVE BACK HOME AND GET STONED ALL THOSE STONES HITTING ME WOULD MESSUP MY PRETTY FACE.
SHE Terry(being a woman over 40 and who has been around the block & world knowing he's gay but didn't care since she already smitten by his charms and goodlooks thought how many other chances will I get at this? maybe he's not really gay just a gay who has likes to keep himself looking good I mean people thought for yrs Prince was gay b/c he keeps himself looking neat & pretty in a girl like way and the world still love and accept him. Maybe I'll succeed at something women have been trying to do for yrs and felled at maybe I can change him from a hen to a rooster live a happy life then write a book about it.
When that didn't happen after six yrs she got fedup and just went public with it before his male lover write his book first.

I've lived there, I think that is an unfounded stereotype of Atlanta's black women. (I'm not discounting your personal experience though Booms.) I've lived in Chicago as well, and honestly more men tried to date me exclusively in ATL than Chicago, so my anecdotal answer is that the competition thing is hype. My friend T (who is a model and gorgeous) and I lived in somebody's VIP area in ATL clubs/lounges (which to me, VIP in ATL is hardly VIP, they could take a few lessons from NY and CHI on that). Anyway, we never experienced any attitudes from other women. However, we did meet our share of zanies. For example, one night I was out post-date with a record executive in his reserved VIP area in a popular ATL club. Anyway, I invited my friend T to join us, which she did. Anyway, I'm sitting with my date, drinking, conversing, and otherwise enjoying the evening, and this young lady comes up to us and says how beautiful I am and how beautiful my fur coat is, and she would love to do my make-up in the future. Then she goes back to her seat. I mean no hello, or nothing as a precursor to her statement; I'd never seen or met the woman in my life. So I ask my date what was going on, and he laughs telling me that this woman's father is wealthy and she is sleeping with one of my date's up-and-coming artists, and the artist is trying to get her to give him a huge lump of her dad's money, but the artist didn't care about her otherwise. Anyway, my date explains that in her own warped way of thinking, by trying to impress me, my date, and the artist who was also in the room, that would ingratiate the artist to her. It was crazy! So, anyway, I met plenty of desperate women in ATL, but I never experienced any attitude. And one caveat, lots more guys tried to date me in ATL, but who knows which of them may have been DL. But honestly, I think the DL reputation ATL has is overhyped as well. Does it exist in ATL? Yes, but I don't think the DL phenomenon is any more prevalent in ATL than other major cities like NY and CHI. However, I do think women in ATL, maybe due to the desperation or perceived lack of available men, man-share more than women in other areas. Just my humble opinion! Reply to this

Oh I've been lurking on this site for over a year and love the comment sections, I feel like I'm part of a click even though I never say anything.

Hey Booms, I visited Atlanta in October of '06 during the Dirty Awards. I had no idea an award show was going on while I was in town until I left my hotel at the Ritz and walked over to Lennox Mall. It was funny because I was like my gosh is Atl really always this fun? I have to say the women were very friendly to me suprisingly. Reply to this

Booms, I lived in Atl for 4 yrs a while ago and I wouldn't say they have nasty attitudes, It felt more like "don't be trying to come and take what we got" attitudes. Don't take it personally. I met a lot of young, (I look very young) beautiful sisters with good heads on their shoulders. Well educated but not really sure of there paths. Things are fast and slow in Atl. The kids are there so I still run through about once a month. And please don't talk about the ratio. More like 20 to 1. After you weed through what you have to work with I stayed single. I was just there to raise my son in a quieter (it's a word today) environment. Please don't hollar at me, I'm sensitive at my old age. This is just what I came across and not Atl as a whole. I'm feeling the same way here in NC. I'm from up north. Wether it's a basketball game or a club the men are happy as hell to see me but the women are another story. It's really beautiful here.

On the finances I have some questions and a little info.
Washington Mutual has a program for children called school savings. it can be done at any school an adminstrator just needs to call them. Any child can open up an account for $1 in their name. Anyone can make deposits, but only the child can make withdrawls. They receive a quarterly statement and a register to keep track of their balance. This teaches the child about saving & banking.
There is also a program called Schlors Choice. You set the your on monthly contributions. Based on your childs age so much money goes towards their savings and the rest is invested in steady long term stocks. I've found it to be a really good program for me check it out.
Now my question is about investing in stocks. I was a very young mother and was not taught the important of finance and good credit. I was brought up get it how you can. When I found out how to do things the right way it was to late. So i've spent alot of time rebuilding and repairing my credit.
II am in my very early 30's and have a 15yr old kid. She is hard working and is very money savvy. I am trying to find better ways to educate her and myself at the same time.
I make a decent living and I am trying to learn how to invest my money wisely and yield a good return. I know mininmal amounts about stocks and bonds. Beyond saving for my child and college i am quite clueless. I would like to be more informed. Any suggestions??

Thanks for your comments guys. The men in Atlanta did want very serious relantionships with me, but sometime you just want to do your female things with a good female friend, and the only female friend I made was with a girl from Houston. Then I ran into a woman from Philly whom felt the same way. Also, you guys are right the DL thing is everywhere, I think it is just more noticeable in Atlanta, because people tell you of the stereotype and then you pay extra attention to it.

I dated a guy with a grill (go figure!) and his breath was always on point. Believe you me, I was skeptical at first and really leary until our first kiss. After we dated for awhile and I felt more comfortable with him, I asked him about his oral hygiene and how he maintained with all that mess in his mouth. He explained how periodically he had to go to the dentist to get each tooth covering removed and have each cap and his teeth cleaned etc. It was an involved and tedious process. He also explained that a lot of the guys with real grills don't do the necessary maintenance and their teeth rot under the caps or whatever so that's why a lot of them have bad breath etc. Also, a lot of what you see are not grills, but snatch-outs. So the guys with snatch-outs really don't have any excuse to have bad breath. Reply to this

Hello all .. As usual I am late !! I think it's Buster Rhymes like pretty much the majority. On a sidenote my brother a soon to be pro basketball player(sister brags gloats proudly). A few years ago, was playin in a basketball tournament in Tennessee. Anyhoo, Busta's ex wife was there with the kids and she almost whupped somebody azz over a parkin space. I didn't see the incident unfold but, apparently it was a disagreement that boiled over. I do remember Busta fighting her for custody of the kids. I thought it was more about of being vindictive than anything else. Busta stated she was doing "things" with her girlfriend within view of the kiddies. His ex stated, things were done in the bedroom and one time one of the kids walked in. I don't remember but ,he came off like a real homophobic bully. I remember Mizz Jones gloating about him in her book. I didn't read the whole book only the part about Busta. Again, I do believe this to be him Chingy might be a second guess. Maybe "no sense" would be third based off his homophobic banter in playboy mag. Reply to this

But I agree she does seem to always get robbed a lot. This is either from bad security systems or she's has the worse luck in the world.
Remember when David Letterman's stalker always seem to find her way into his home I think before she jumped in front of a running train and killed her fool self she had broke into his home twice.
I always wonder how and why that happen a 2nd time.
The thing with she Warwick I don't know it is kinda shady, I mean if she has pyshic friends u would think they would warn her to lockup her place b/c she can see a robbery in her future. I love Ms. Warwick but she has had some bad luck that could have been avoid had she just use her head. Like when she was stopped at the airport b/c she had weed in her lipstick tube.

First, I am a white woman so I am not familiar with everyone that is mentioned here so I often must do a quick google photo search on the various celebs mentioned.
But what has me commenting today is that I am reading an awful lot lately about various black rappers, or sports figures and from where I sit, it is almost beginning to sound as if the whole black community is gay....lol
Now, I know it cant be. Is it possible that people are going a tad overboard with "outing" celebs without definite proof?

First, I am a human above and beyond the color of my skin. If you read the other gossip sites such as Ted Casablanca and Perez Hilton they each suggest that a staggering number of supposed "straight" white actors/musicians are secretly gay or downlow bisexual. Did you post an email saying you think their blinds are suggesting that the whole white/hispanic community are gay...lol? A lot of white entertainers are drug addicts, gay, and have problems. No more than the black community and no less than the black community. Would you be less inclined to believe that the Rockers you know as stone cold ladies men actually prefer MEN?
Did you ever stop to think about the fact that lots of creative types also have an established propensity towards excess in regards to their sexuality and proclivity towards addictive lifestyles?
We have lots of blind items that don't deal with gay/downlow behavior. They deal with every aspect of human behavior and when I visit other gossip sites whether it is predominately white or latin, guess what those human celebrities have the same issues! Reply to this

It extends beyond pretension and deception. It affects the persons significant other, children, family, and friends. Ideally, it would be considerate for them to be honest with their significant other; however, that is not always the case. This only emphasizes the need to communicate more effectively.
However, we must show tolerance of other peoples lives and allow them to make decisions for themselves and not force our moral terpitude down their throats. Reply to this

I agree with you we need to be more tolerant. There is nothing wrong with being gay or bi just be honest about it. Oprah had a show on about married women who were lesbians.

Some of the women had told the husbands prior to marriage that they had feelings for women the men minimized it or were turned on by it. Reply to this

I for one have no problems with anyone who's gay or bi. What I do have a problem with is when a person doesn't use a condom when he or she have sex outside the relationship.
Women who are attracted to other woman should still practice safe sex as if she's with a man.
And being gay, bi or a lesbian is nothing to be ashame of anymore, if after coming out turns family and friends against you then thats on them and u have to wonder if they ever really loved or cared about you in the first place. I have a few cousins on both sides of my family who are gay and it makes NO difference to us none what so ever. A few yrs ago a cousin on my mother side gathered the family together to tell everyone he's gay and he was so scared but he felt he had to do it. When he fineally said it a few got really quiet with a surprise look.
I was the first to get up go over to him embraced him I told him it doesn't matter to me I still love you and he's still was gonna take me out to dinner like he keep saying he's gonna do
He laughed because he felt the pressure of the weight lefted off him.The rest of the family all said they still love him too and we went on with hanging out and talking about whatever.
He was surprised that we didn't care his whole manner changed he was so relaxed after that
He's not in a relationship right now but he's a lot less timid around everyone when the family get together. Reply to this

Hello everyone, I felt compelled to post after an encounter with a patient. I work as a nurse and I am privy to my patients medical records. One morning I decided to greet a new patient before reading the chart. This man was extremely handsome, articulate and he had swagger. I was impressed and spoke with him for a few minutes, when I left the room I thought what a nice guy!! After reading through his chart I was floored when I saw AIDs listed as one of his diagnosis. Ladies ,please, please be careful because things are not always as they seem. The patient looked the picture of health, he'd been admitted for knee surgery. Had I met him away from work I would have accepted his offer for a date. I am so grateful for this site. Again, ladies be careful because things are not always what they seem to be. Reply to this

I guess to guys on DL telling a woman he's on the DL is like telling he's married he rather not mention it b/c he knows it will spoil his plan to get together with her. The minute he says he's married she still might get with him. But if he tells her he's on the DL he knows the first thing she will do after getting a surprised look he knows she will think he's gay. No matter how he explains it to her all she's thinking is he's gay and he make be HIV or have AIDS and she's not gonna deal with that.
So guys on the DL will not reveil this bit of news about himself when he meets a woman he's attracted to because even thought he has sex with other men he still wants to have sex with women.
It's intresting that now a days not only do we women have to wondered about a guy we meet and attracted to we not only have to wonder things about him like.
Is he married, does he have a job, how much money does he make, does he have good credit, how many kids do he have, how many baby momma's he have, is he a dog, is he abusive does he have a police record,is he gay or on the DL
The DL ons is the one that had to be added some few yrs ago.

Breaking it down even further, that's why "tops" get less of a viral load of HIV than "bottoms" because the former's only entrance exposed is the small penis opening. If he's infected and transmits semen into the male bottom(or woman) via ejaculation the latter usually becomes less responsive to AIDS cocktail and therefore can succumb quicker to the disease.

If it's suggested you want him to go for a test and he see your willing to be test as well he shouldn't have a problem and he that would show him that at least she's looking out.If he acts like he doesn't want to dump him.

While this may be true, we have to take it a little farther. Women need to hold men accountable for ALL of their actions. This would include, but not limited to, REGULAR testing for diseases, misconduct, double speak, etc. In general, we have to move beyond the sexual aspect of the relationship and look at the relationship as a whole. The sexual nature of the relationship diminishes as time goes on. It becomes a matter of, 'Do I like you as a person?' How can I trust you sexually if I can't trust the words that you speak? How can I trust you sexually if I can't trust your actions? If you are a sneak and a liar about everything else, how can I truly trust you at all? If it just a physical relationship, that's another story; however, that is high risk behavior nowadays.
There are quite a few men who resent women who ask if they are on the DL. On youtube their is a group of black men discussing this same issue and one in particular has a real attitude about this subject. If the woman is good enough to sleep with, then she is good enough to be honest with. IMHO

There has been a shift with this disease and we are the ones being hurt. (There are still non-blacks who contract this disease, but not at the alarming rate that it is killing us.)
Personally, I tend to get very upset when I hear of 15 & 16 years olds being buried due to this epidemic. They haven't even begun to live their lives and now they are gone.

Before I forget, for those who still presume that a man can only sexually contract HIV from another man I strongly urge you to view the powerful Black indpendent film One Week by Kenny Young.
Shot on location in Chicago, the critically acclaimed film focuses upon a man, who's about to be married on one week, finding his world turned upside down when one of his former partners put him on a partner's notification list for HIV. The story takes you on a journey as he searches for the person he thinks may have exposed him to the virus, but I can tell you there's no dl refernces at all. In fact, according to Young it was inspired by true events. Check it out. Reply to this

That film is a fictional story (one week) and does not depict real life. Go to CDC for real life. Just because you are a man, don't brush off that men are indeed the carriers of HIV and infect women wayyyyy more at alarming rates than the opposite. Your misinformation takes away from the real message because you are so busy defending your gender instead of checking the real stats on CDC. Get a clue. And that movie cannot be critically acclaimed, the acting lighting were terrible. Reply to this

Anon2: I agree with everything you have said. One week was make believe. Just like I did a story about a HIV female assassin infecting enemies of the state. During research I too discovered that it is extremely rare for a woman to transmit AIDS to a man, and I do a lot of research for my downlow stories. You will have people acting as if you are male bashing and protecting their gender instead of facing the facts. I agree with everything you have said, you are one of the most reasonable and truthful voices along with Bingo, Shortness and Cocolatte on this subject in this thread. You are also right about misinformation, which is dangerous because if a young lady reads that a man can't really infect you as much as you think, even if he is DL, that can possible cause her-her life because the seriousness of the situation is downplayed. Keep preaching the truth and nothing but the truth. Truthful information is a powerful thing and shout out to Spymaster. Reply to this

If you reread my previous posts you'll see as others do that I'm not spreading misinformation and I'm not protecting my gender. I never once said the dl thing doesn't exist, I simply rebutted the notion that women can't give it to men and only a dl man can give it to a woman(sexually).
As for the movie, Kenny told me himself that it was inspired by true events. If you don't like it, that's your opinion. Reply to this

Coco, when I entered the room, I told the guy I had not read his chart that I wanted to say good morning first. We spoke for a few minutes and I left the room. When I returned with his AM meds and questioned him about the accuracy of the dosages ( his home meds)he said the dosage was correct and resumed flirting. That's why I was disgusted. The reason that I knew he was a DL brotha is because of his attitude and facility that houses a number of AIDs patients. The first thing that gay men will say is, "I'm gay and that's how I got the disease." Others will say up front that they were drug users, they'd gotten bad blood transfusions...etc. Dl men will always lie and say they got it from some hoe or they will not tell you at all. Even when the man has gotten it from a women he's torn up about it..... just think about it, this is something that will eventually kill you. That is how I knew. My heart goes out to the residents in that facility because their relatives and friends often abandon them. I see the hopelessness and the horrible effects of the disease. It's something that know human being should have to endure. Certainly not a faithful wife and mother. The names of sex offenders are published to protect the innocent,yet a man can willingly infect women without reprocussion. To add to this madness is if these men do not take the medications correctly the strain becomes stronger and harder to treat. The women that they infect are much more likely to die and often times they are in the late stages before they experience any symptoms. There are a lot of things that we can debate B, unfortunately this is not one of them. Reply to this

But will not open that same mouth to ask the person to go together to get tested but WILL go together driving pass a number of stores to spend money to check into a hotel or motel and will not stop by one of those many stores they drove pass to buy condoms b/c they're too embarrassed to buy them.
Because either they're too horny and caught up in the moment,too gullible because if they go into a store to buy condoms people will know why they're buying them or just plain old dumb to think I MAY REGRET THIS LATER. Common sense is free, HIV/AIDS is deadly and costly.
AIDS became known back in the 80's (I think)and when that happen people were scared as hell bcause it was a disease that no one knew anything about even the world greatest scientist and doctors were scratching they're heads trying to figure out this deadly diease.
And everyone became aware of ways to contract AIDS/HIV and people today are still having unprotected sex.
In the news a few yrs ago a woman was about to be raped and even though she was scared as hell she still had the common sense to say to the guy if your gonna do this could u please wear a condom. Now this may have made it hard for the police to find whomever this guy or maybe prove she was really raped she was more concern and didn't want to risk contracting AIDS or HIV
Now if this woman who was about to have one of the most horrible exprience anybody can have happen to them can still ask this rapist to wear a condom why can't two people who are caught up in lust can't do the same? Reply to this

My heart goes out to the mothers,wives and anyone else who contracts AIDS/HIV from someone they love dearly and had to idea or reason to think they're mates were out having unprotected sex.
It breaks my heart when someone contracts the disease from a blood transfusing.
Thats why the smart thing to do if you or a family member needs to have surgery to ask the Dr to take blood from you a week or two before the surgery and store it in case too much blood is lost during the surgery and they need to replace your blood they can replace it with your own blood and not risk using someone else.

This rapper hates being a downlow bi-sexual. He hates everything that gays stand, similar to a racist being attracted to blacks.
He has swagger, arrogance and bravado with a scowl and he talks about gays like a dog at every opportunity with his homeboys. Calling them "disgusting trash" yet he secretly patronizes a online male escort/shemale brothel which takes less than five minutes to order up a male hustler or transvestite (pre-op) escort in your area.
When he isn't ordering up male hustlers like Chinese food, we've also been informed that he also likes the "low rent" looking transvestites, the trashier looking, the better. His type is: Transvestites who you can physically tell-were once men.
He doesn't patronize transsexuals, he only prefers pre-op transvestites who still have their male genitalia.
What's even more surprising, our rapper is "the bottom," in the encounters and according to our sources, the scenario has to be rough and somewhat painful.
Hint: He's not a mogul and he isn't married.

Anyway, with all that said, I am sad to say that my guess is none other than Wayne aka "Weezy".

I personally know a transsexual who dated Chingy years ago. She left him alone after one of his friends caught wind that she was born a male. She didn't want to risk either of their safety because many straight males tend to either beat up or kill them.
Also, someone else in Luda's camp was dating one too.

NY Post reported the incident with some gay dude at an diner.Funny thing was the place was full of trannies & homo's....HMMMM!!
Here is a link from eurweb.com talking about it.
http://www.eurweb.com/story/eur25616.cfm
The drama unfolded at the 11th Street Diner, which is next door to gay club Twist, early Sunday morning. “The restaurant was packed with transvestites, gay men and drag queens, which obviously made Busta a little edgy,” eyewitness Thomas Barker e-mails. “This became evident when a young gay guy came up behind Busta and tapped him on the shoulder to congratulate the rapper on his recent comeback. Before the guy could even mutter a word, Busta turned around and repeatedly screamed, ‘Why the [bleep] you touchin’ me, man? Get the [bleep] away from me’ . . . his two huge bodyguards then caused an even larger scene by pushing the kid away . . . Busta quietly whispered to his bodyguards, ‘I hate [bleeping] faggots, man.’

2. PDiddy also being interviewed on the radio and just went off on the dude who said he heard people in "the streets' saying diddy was dl.
I think this evidence may just seal the deal on Busta. Good info
Reply to this
These guys are so vulnerable to blackmail it ain't even funny.I always felt part of the reason PDiddy hasn't been more pro-active in solving biggies murder was because LAPD probably got the goods(DL)on him.Gay...I mean J.Edgar Hoover would have the whole rap game on lock down if his closet gay ass were alive heading the FBI,illegally wiretapping these undisciplined fools.But then again who says this isn't already happening with recent reports (Panachereport) of stepped up surveillance.
Ones sexual preference or sexual promiscuality has been used as an weapon by the power structure in D.C. forever & a day.Hoover used it against JFK.It was widely rumored that he was blackmailed into selecting Lyndon Johnson as his running mate (VP) in '60 because of his sexual promiscuality. M.L. King was sent letters by the FBI(hoover) telling him to kill himself because they aparently had King on wiretaps having an affair.
Wash. D.C. is a town full of "secrets" on variuos levels...Hell,thats a whole nother story.

Hey, one version of the story that's going around has to do with the "Daddy's Angels" tattoo he has around his neck. Someone made a comment that that had something to do with his sexual orientation which he denied and said that it had to do with his kid(s). I also heard that he gave an interview where he supposedly blatantly stated that he does not like gay people. Not sure which is which but, that's the juice I heard.
Reply to this
I agree, this leisure sexuality that we have been talking about for I don't know how long on this particular blog (and any other blog or website for that matter) IS and HAS been going on as long as there has been Money and Access.
The reason, in my opinion, that we are reading and hearing about it so much and so often right now is because the Internet has provided a way to get information on anything you want...as long as you know how to search for it. And since people (like us on this web site) like juicy gossip, we are reading about this everyday and it's blowing our minds a bit because before the Internet, we only had the controlled news that the papers and the tv news channels wanted to give us. And, of course, word of mouth. But that's it.
So if you think about it like that, we shouldn't be surprised that those older superstars like Sammy Davis and Jackie Wilson were wildin' out like that. LOL!

In regards to mlk , it is highly rumored / reported that he was on the dl and that is what hoover has tapes of ….
Look at what happened to anna nicole , and now britney , the media or people with power behind the scenes can do whatever they want and the dumbed down public does not care... Most of the entertainment blogs , except for this one ( which i really do not consider entertainment, more of a black celeb history log ) are like modern day gladiator rings....

Many women (not all) were even told by the older women in their families to over look things to keep the family together! Thats why so many older couples remained married for so long.This of course is not a generalization ,because no one sceneario fits all,but it is a personal observation.

This is not to imply that all men were infaithful,but infedility certainly existed even back then.It was just handled differently . Men (some)did their dirt on the side ,but they knew where home was & the other women knew what that she was the other woman,and that was that! I dont condone this behavior but its just my own honest opinion. Listen to some of them old Shirley Brown,Betty Wright,Barbara Mason songs,lol .I cant say the women were always happy but they certainly seemed more tolerant!
Reply to this
@ Lioness- Yeah, I also did some extensive reading on MLK. I read some pretty disturbing things as well. It was reported that Coretta Scott knew about a lot of it. But, being the noble and wise women she is, did not want those secrets to be public knowledge and not to hurt their children. If my memory serves me right they won't be available until SOME years later. It was said that if Blacks knew those secrets they would see MLK in a whole nother light. In regards, to Biggie and Tupac. I don't know what to believe I had heard so many stories about their death. In conclusion, Wendy Williams reportedly has photos of Puffy and rapper "Loon" who used to be on BadBoy label in the act ! Loon rapped on " I need a girl ". I have always said that Puffy acted like a spoiled and bossy female.

Even if MLK was gay or bi how does that take away from his message?
The USA excuses every white politician that cheated on his wife, did drugs, got drunk but let a black man do it and he is ruined. I am very certain the KKK is well aware of how a large part of the black community is homophobic. I dn't condone any of the cheating/drugs/alcohol behavior however I would not allow the KKK to change my thoughts on a great man who was after all only a man. And wsnt Hoover black himself and a transvestite, maybe he wanted MLK for himself??

MLK, Jr doing his personal life should be personal and have nothing to do with his professional life...however, lines get blurred and things get twisted. He was a "chosen one" for Black people to come up, but he is still a man; and let's not forget man is fallable. Just think about the implications of our most infamous Civil Rights Leader and all that he's accomplished and then think about our most infamous Civil Rights Leader as a disrespectful, polygamous, sexual deviant and how do you feel about his messages now? You see people have to put angelic halos around "leaders" sometimes to the point that they forget they are human and have faults. People would like leaders to be above reproach and I certainly don't think anybody is above reproach.
I often use a (what I think is) powerful excercise for the teenagers I interact with on a regular basis: It is to look into a mirror and be brutally honest with yourself and take responsibility for your contribution to our societal ills and/or good will. It's not an easy thing to do. I promise you, if you really do it, you will run the gamut of emotions during this exercise.
Back to MLK, Jr... If in some years, when/if they release this so called "damaging personal" info, how will it affect you? Will you change your feelings towards the message that he put out? I doubt it, but you will probably have a few choice words about the MAN...that you'd be entitled to speak on (privately) but the important thing is his message and how we as a people have benefitted from his legacy.
Also I don't think white folks get away with as much as we think. They are often punished and outcast as everybody else but they are probably in a better financial situation before SNAFU hits so they can go away quieter than we can.
Parents visit that oneshare place Myra mentioned and start teaching your children how to be astute when it comes to their finances. If you don't teach them, stands to reason no one will!!!
This is just my two cents for today. Have a great weekend.

lina b ,
are you pointing this message at moi ? i am just stating what i heard and what is documented in many places. Never once did i say it took away from his message . and never once did i say all came from the kkk. You do YOUR research and read the post correctly . Don't attack it is not a good look .
Reply to this
@ Lioness and anyone else who may have misunderstood my comment; It was so not an attack on you at all. It was a remark about the KKK taking a known issue in the black community (homophobia) and tryin to use that to demean MLK within the black community. My point was what Martin did in the bedroom should not take away any of his credibility because he is a man and the KKK deliberately looked for an issue to exploit. The comment was also about how the KKK didn't/dsn't do any white politician bashing on the same issues of drugs/cheating/and alcohol. So my comment was in regards to the purpose of the research and why the KKK wants this info released to harm his legacy.

@ LinaB & SBQTnCT- I am happy and grateful for all that MLK has done for us as African Americans. I am not taking away from his message. Neither am I being fickle. I am responding to what Lioness posted only confirming that I had heard the same things about MLK. Guys you have to remember that this is a public site.People won't always post a comment that you agree with or like. We ARE all here sharing amd posting. In addition, whenever I post I am posting what I have read or heard. I am not saying it's 100% accurate. I am just another poster who comes here to share in the discussions and post.
Reply to this
Reading my posts and SBQTnCQT, we are both expressing that the KKK wants that info to be released to harm MLK. Neither one of us is saying any person was wrong for posting that info that they saw, heard or read. neither one of us was saying that by posting that info any reader is downing MLK or not appreciating his legacy. Our responses were on the differences for white vs. black public figures.
Please read my above response to Lioness for complete and full disclosure.

Hello All,
I've been a "lurker", on-and-off, for quite a while now. I only started posting a few days ago. I absolutely love this site and the posts are great.
Obviously, I have no idea as to whether or not Dr. King was gay. However, I do know that he had an openly gay close aide--Bayard Rustin. Dr. King was strongly urged by those in his inner circle to distance to keep this guy in the background, but Dr. King refused. This would have been prudent considering the times, the fact the he was a minister and leading a moral charge.
Reply to this
I heard those things about MLK also that he had affairs and Mrs.Coretta Scott looked the other way on it and other things that MLK did would have made those who looked up to him in a different way. I read that he was also a chain smoker thats a little known or unknown fact that people may or may not have known about him.
I wonder if thats the reason Mrs. Jesse Jackson stood by Jesse after finding out he fathered a child outside their marriage.
I remember older elders saying that women back in the day looked the other way when she heard from others that they'er husband was out creeping. Remember in The Color Purple when Mister brings home Ms Sug Avery so his wife Ceclie can take care of her and nurse her back to health. And old Mister said "Ceclie yous haves my symathy not many wives will let her husbands HO live in her house" and she just looked at him and spit in his water?
She should have spit in the Mister's water and food. And the way Ms. Sug treated her plus called her ugly before she even came into her house. Ms Ceclie should have bath her in scolding hot water and feed her half cooked food.
Reply to this
Hidoll, I LOVE the Color Purple, and you repeating those scenes has me dying in laughter! But seriously, I too have head that MLK had affairs, and it made me understand that he was flawed, he was human, but it didn't take away from his message. And as far as Jesse Jackson goes, I personally don't pay attention to him or Al Sharpton. I don't.
Reply to this
Like you said Maya I too understand that MLK had flaws didn't take away from his message. If anyone was to be upset with him about him having affairs was his wife. Becuase that part of his life was between him and her.
Him having affiars and chain smoking didn't affect what he stood when he marched, faught and died to make it easier for everyone of all races to come together.
Now Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton I have never really been a fan of b/c both men are shady, I read that JJ admitted that he used to spit in white people food and anyone who would spit in someone food be they white or not I just don't trust them. And Jesse Jackson spitting in someone's food tells me he's a lowdown nasty person who will spit in anyone's food if he doesn't like them.

"In regards to mlk , it is highly rumored / reported that he was on the dl and that is what hoover has tapes of …."
Allegedly there was a picture of MLK & the Rev.Sam "Billy" Kyles together.One of them was nude or semi nude,I think it was Martin.From what I understand neither one of them were in a comprising position.But,Rev.Kyles is definitely gay!! There is footage at the lorraine hotel,on the nite King was assasinated.You can Rev.Kyles all huggewd up against another man looking quite femanine while "Messy" Jesse Jackson is talking to the press.BTW.. some believe,myself included that Kyles was an well placed informant.He got some big,fat grant money after MLK cia hit.

Jesse Jackson details: He loves white women, surprised his side piece was black. The reason Coretta did not endorse him when he ran for Prez, because it was always rumored, when MLK got shot, Jesse ran to him, covered himself in his blood and concoted a story that he was nearby. Jesse returned to Chicago later and charged his flock $50 a head to recount his MLK assassination story. He was hooked up with Margot Kidder who also had a thing with Richard Pryor and Jesse was also with Robert Flack for years. Big male slut and he has a biracial grandchild. They hide the kid from the media, but his son is the father.

Meant to say he was with "ROBERTA" Flack not Robert, for years.

"The reason Coretta did not endorse him when he ran for Prez, because it was always rumored, when MLK got shot, Jesse ran to him, covered himself in his blood and concoted a story that he was nearby:
Its true!!BTW....Martin never trusted Jesse.Rev.abernathy wrote a book about Martin titled "And the Wall Came Tumbling" Ralph talks about MLK's distrust of Jesse.This book was basically buried by Jesse and others.
The theory on Jesse is the he was recruited (fbi?) to infiltrate MLK's inner circle.He was 5th on the pecking order,with Albernathy the #2 man followed by Andy Young & Hosea Williams,then Jesse.When Martin was killed their was a heavy media buildup of Jesse as the next "great" leader.Its no secret that the FBI&CIA would plant stories in the media to propagandize whom ever or what ever agenda they had in mind.The science of any political assasination is recruit/pick your puppet 1st before you eliminate the individual they deem uncontrollable.
Alot of Jesse's shortcomings have been covered up for a long time.(example:womanizing & not to mention his operation push money)
Jesse has always been part of the establishment.He's a member on the council on foreign relations as well as he's in the boule'
Reply to this
Good Day all! Yes, Messy Jesse is scum. IMO he isnt worth discussion...
As a young person (I was in 6th grade) I was COMPLETELY crushed when I met one of MLK's mistresses. The thing that bothered me was that this being, I have a hard time trying to call her a woman, was so proud to tell all of the intimates about MLK. I likened it to a woman that youve just met telling you about your grandfather. The sting behind him cheating is one thing, but to hear details is heartbreaking!
GSable, glad to see you havent completely washed your hands of us.
Everyone have a wonderful and safe weekend. Be blessed!

Good morning! Sorry Im getting back to you so late. Um, imagine something similar to Ms. Steffans book - only sitting in front of you telling you intimate details. Like I said, I was a young person and was sickened by hearing this junk.

I wonder if so many prominent black men feel getting with a white woman on the side as a mistress is some type of revenge on a white man?
The propensity to speak self love and then cheat self hate is staggering. Or are these white women so attracted to these radical black men for a hidden agenda..being silly but like the she devil in undercover brother?
Reply to this
Is this bi-racial grandchild the child of Jesse's son who once dated Allison Payne, a beautiful news anchor on WGN News Chicago? If it is, it is my understanding that Allison had been in love with one of Jesse's sons, but had to let him go once she found out he had been cheating on her with, and impregnated, his white secretary. I think his name is Yusef (sp?), Jesse's son who owns the liquor distributorship on Goose Island.
Reply to this
I had heard that the FBI tapes contained conversations that MLK had with Ralph Abernathy, where they were referring to each other in a manner that could've been misconstrued as something akin to being lovers. I think that it made for good folly for the Feds, who really didn't understand that sometimes we refer to each other in strange terms. Who knows?
The rumors of his womanizing were however documented by the Feds, and that was the major grist that J.Edgar Hoover (who had many issues of his own), was trying to use against Dr. King. The Movement had a lot of known homosexuals, i.e. Bayard Rustin, and I guess it was more or less another thing they wanted to hang over Dr. King's head.
Reply to this
I don't believe that for a minute, it's amazing what rumors people will spread on someone just to get attention.
If there is such a picture then where is it? and who's to say that the two men posed for the picture it could have been where someone took a picture of MLK and another one of this Rev. Sam Billy guy and pasted them together to give the illusion that they were together in a sexually manner.
People who are famous or anyone who's doing good always have people out there ready to spread negative stories on them b/c lets face it, some people don't like seeing others doing good or right.
It happens to famous people and people we know personally
If a friend,neighbor, an ex, a co-worker or relative is doing good at whatever u can bet someone is on patrol to spread negative lies or stories on him or her.
MLK did so much good for our people and others of course someone gonna say negative things about him. HELL the fool who shot and killed him couldn't stand him doing good. Lets say that this picture does exist, and if he did cheat on Ms. Coretta and he was on the DL and whatever other negative thing. Does that out weight what he did for our people and others? does that take away that he died trying to make a difference?

She never mentioned abuse . . . but she was extremely secretive. For the longest, I only knew him as her "boyfriend." I couldn't understand it because she seemingly never got anything out of it. He would always promise to take her to France, Africa, etc. and she wouldn't hear from him. I only met him once. He seemed nice enough but he seemed to do the bare minimum for her (in terms of putting the relationship out there) for her to keep being strung along. Is he mentally or emotionally abusive? Or both?

I only know the gossip , i just know of abuse , but do not know specifically what type. But also women are crazy too, the expectations they put on these men are too high . you can lead a horse to water but u can't make him drink ,. after 1 month you know ,you see the signs .

Yeah lioness. You are right. It's just so unfortunate. I don't understand people that can play on others' weaknesses. Especially to the point where they become ill (mentally,physically). There is a former rapper -- and he seems to be a favorite on this site -- who (and the details get sketchy and are based on hearsay) used to mess around with a girl. Very pretty girl. Smart. Had a lot going for her. She moved from a small town to LA. Anyway, not sure what happened but "they say" he drove her crazy. What I DO know is that she had to be brought back to her hometown, spent lots of time in the psych ward, and has his government name tatooted on her forehead. She also calls herself his government name. It's all so sad.

I wish the tatoo artist had declined to do her forehead. She should have put it on her bottom and thought to herself everytime she sat down "kiss my ***, you *hole."

not on the forehead....wow
Reply to this
Now you know someone isn't in their right mind when they tattoo craziness like that on this face or forehead....that is REE-DIC-U-LOUS!
Now, I must admit that I had an aunt who spent time in the mental ward herself for the very same thing. She was the mistress to a locally-popular preacher (back in the 80's) who was married. She and the preacher would do hard core drugs together and, from what I was told, he would play mind games with her, promising her the world but always doing the bare minimum to keep her around. Somewhere somehow she snapped, started calling herself his wife's name, and walking around the city saying she was married to this preacher. She also saw hallucinations and was just all out crazy. Her sisters (one being my mom) took her to the mental ward and she admitted herself ONLY because she thought that was a way to get away from her sisters. If I'm not mistaken, she was there for at least a week, if not longer before she released herself.
Like, I said, this was in the early 80's and she hasn't been right since. She used drugs for quite some time afterwards and would still say and do crazy things.
Example: one day my cousins and I were over our grandmother's house (her mother's house) and, of course, she was there telling all of us that she grew up with R. Kelly and the lead singer from Mint Condition and they all use to make paper airplanes in church.
In the last 5 years, she got clean BUT her brain is so fried that it's like she's constantly high. Now her "drug of choice" is food; eats everything in sight.
I've said this before; I think that some times people have something in their makeup that is a little off, but they can function like everyone else and show absolutely no signs of anything until someone or something (or a combination) takes them over the age. In my aunt's case it was the drugs and this man she choose to chase who was married.
Reply to this
It's not Dr. Dre but this rapper probably rapped around the same time that Dr. Dre was with NWA. I've seen her (and thus the tatoo) and it looks like something homemade. I hear ya, LinaB! The story goes that he was playing with her emotions so much and using her and abusing her that she just lost it. I also heard speculation that drugs were involved. I will say that he has a very distinctive name . . . so imagine seeing that on someone's forehead = ). The funny (not really) thing is is that she doesn't answer to her real name, she goes by his name and that's what everyone calls her now.

Pitiful is all I can say. On top of this just witnessed some domesic violence in my parking lot.

Reply to this
Women, read my lips, if a man hits you, haul ass because its going to happen over and over again. This is not love, it is control and disrespect. I don't care if he cries and says it will never happen again, it will and if you have children with this man, this is a bad example for you son (who can follow is father's lead and become a batterer because his father is showing him how to disrespect and beat women) and your daughter (who thinks, this is the way women are suppose to be treated). Get out from the get go. Bad decisions can affect your life and stifle your growth personally and professionally.
Reply to this
AMEN!
More than likely the kids WILL repeat the behavior because in their minds they think this is what love is suppose to be. The son will think that to love a woman, he has to control her mentally and beat her down. The daughter will think it is alright for a man to do this to her. It's that vicious cycle that everyone talks about but not so many people break.
Like it was state, this choice to stay in this relationship will affect your life on every level: personally, professionally, mentally, emotionally, your spirit will end up broken...all of that stuff if you don't take care of yourself.
Decide what you want out of life and go for it! Don't think that a man hitting you is the way you deserve to live BECAUSE IT'S NOT! Nobody needs to live like that.
Let me get off my soapbox!
Reply to this
That's right ! Please women that WILL listen take heed cause some of them won't listen. The reason being the abuser has their minds, if you can get into someone's head you've got them sort of like how pimp's operate. I have a relative whose husband is KRAZY, he checks her female genitalia for semen (daily), she's not allowed to bath until he inspects her, at outings she can't sit by any other man unless there's no more seats, and he beats her like a punching bag. At the wedding reception of one of my cousins he got drunk and started hitting her in front of everyone. Man*** my cousins 5 of them kicked his ignorant behind and dared him to come near her again. Guess what she did ??? Got angry with them and said leave US alone and went home with him. KRAZY right. But he has her mind...
Reply to this
I have to add my 2 cents. My husband got a call from his cousin at 6 a.m. this morn. Her bf just threw 2 chairs at her after she told him she was pregnant with their child. He told her it was not his and she was a lying bitch. She had to hide in the bathroom to keep out of harms way. My husband offered to come get her and her 7yrold daughter and have them stay with us but she refused to leave. She called back an hour later with him screaming and cussing and threatening her in the background. He tried to convince her to leave but she refused. He is so upset. I offered to speak with her but he said she wont speak with me since she does not know me that well and she is particular about who she talks to. Maybe she needs to be particular about who she lays with. I'll bet she will stop being particular when that fist reaches her face. Abuse is no joke and she has a young daughter. Why?
Reply to this
This sh!t is crazy! I hate to hear about stuff like this.
I, too, have a cousin who just got out of ICU after being beat, raped, and nearly choked to death by her ex-boyfriend. She had just broke up with him because he was beating her, tried to go out with her friends. He followed her, kidnapped her, raped her, beat her, and choked her so badly that her eyes were blood shot! She's in hiding now while the police "investigate". Why the police have to investigate a kidnapping and attempted murder is still beyond me! He better hope the police get to him before some of my other family members, that's all I'm gonna say.
Reply to this
Correction: My statement about why the police have to investigate is weird to me because, from what I understand, people witnessed her being dragged into his car and then she drove herself to the hospital when she was able to get away and told everyone there what happened. so the police don't have a case of Heresay; they have factual accounts from the victim.
Reply to this
OK...here is my 2 cents...This may sound crazy, but in my personal opinion (& maybe a couple of psychology classes) some people are attracted to choas. They have either grown up in/around choas..so that is all they know. So unless she comes to the realization that she is in a very unhealthy situation or come up dead....she is not going to do anything about her bf. It is sad because she is a mother to a young female, this cycle may repeat itself. The daughter will grow up and allow men to treat her in the same manner, because she seen her mother being disrespected.....sad.
Reply to this
I agree with what all of you have said this is why that movie The Burning Bed is one of my faovrite movies to see a woman do what she felt she needed to do to safe her life and her kids life. Because even after she left him he still kept coming around abusing her.
Now I know some people would disagree that I glorify her setting fire to him while he was asleep but what I'm saying is that whenever a person be it man, woman or child anyone who's a victim of any kind of abuse and they have called for help to family, police or taken it to court only to have that abusive person come back to do more damage. Because in the case where they're are kids involved and the abused woman have to by law have to let the kids see they're father and he still comes around and hits her the woman do what she has to do to stay alive and if that means he's killed in the process of her and the kids trying to escape his abuse then that the way it turns out.
And yes sad to say sometimes when the sons see his daddy hitting his mother or other women he may likley do the samething when he grows up b/c we all know kids do as they see they're parents do.

But, the transvestite I saw him with looked like she was either asian or Philipino (spelled it wrong I know) woman. The night that I did see him with the transvestite, my girlfriend said "that's a man, Busta likes to date transvestites". She looked very convincing to me (but I was also extremely drunk that night). But, I was pretty impressed with how good she/he looked.

(I'm not a Beyonce fan at all but...) she could just be eating a lot. Is she touring or anything right now? She could be relaxing and having a good time with her lifetime supply of Popeye's Chicken. Yes, I heard that back when she was with the 4-member Destiny's Child, she received a card from Popeye's that allowed her to get all the chicken she wants for the rest of her life.
Plus doesn't she like to yo-yo diet, doing those "detox" diets to loose weight and then after the performance or the video is shot, her weight goes back up?
I'm not saying the girl is over-weight AT ALL; but from what I've seen she does seem to fluctuate in pounds depending on what's going on.

Iisn't that something food franchises giving wealthy celebrities a lifetime supply of food ??? A poor/homeless person can't get anything from them. I think that's so back wards.

I've read from different sources that Bey is genuinely nice and very sweet. But is that really the deal with her and her family? I've heard about the rumors of her daddy cheating on Ms Tina, doing drugs, etc, but does anyone else know anything about Bey or anyone else in the family? Not that I'm wanting to hear some things. I guess it would be refreshing for her to be nice, talented and that's it, especially after reading so many disappointing "truths" about so many other celebs. I was just curious about her....

I actually get a feeling that she is a nice person. I don't know her, never met her, or anything, but she seems like she's a good person. She doesn't seem that bright, IMO, but nice. She some times looks like she doesn't have a thought in her head...but I could be WAY off base. I dunno.

Off topic: Its a damn shame that a former slave who could not read or write has more financial savvy than some of these dumb ass rappers who can. Pitiful. They are broke clowns. Spending and wasting all their money on material BS and not investing any of it. Their downfall is frontin and flossing.

LMAO @ Myra for calling Weezy out like that!

Rappers have education, classes they can attend, all this shit at their disposal and this woman was a slave who started out with nothing. These rappers really are a sad joke. BRB, meant to read her story, going to do so now, brb.

Good morning Anon2!! I agree, it's just horrible that they have all of this money, but no one is thinking about saving for the future, or investing in other businesses that will garner MORE money. Lil Wayne is NOT attractive, he makes me want to throw up in my mouth everytime I see him, and girls trip over him like he is the hood Denzel or something. Ugh. I just got laid off at my job a week ago, and I'm spending wisely, as well as saving wisely. It's hard out here. So if anyone has any good money tips out there, please pass them along to me. I read BB's tips the other day, and found them helpful BTW, I am also enrolling back in school while I'm laid off...

"Minstrel negros" is the correct term for them, if you ask me. All that money that can afford them access to whatever they need to secure a decent future for themselves and their children and they only worried about the present. Sad. But a good example of those of us who can look at it and say "This is what NOT to do."

Hey Deanna, You so KRAZY. "Minstrel negros" that is too funny. But, yes it's a lot of Bafoonery going on with these rappers. My son is 14 he was pissed because I won't buy him 50 CD. I said boy I am not supporting anyone who talks about the mess he does on their albums. I explained all of that too him amnogst other things. I think hes slowly starting to understand the things I'm trying my best to teach him.

Good job. I don't have kids, but I know when/if I do, I want them to realize that those rappers and actors are all there just for "entertainment purposes" only and that's it. Kids don't need to put so much weight on these entertainers and they should find role models in their homes and communities; role models that they can walk up to, talk to, and get solid words of wisdom from. Not entertainers on Cribs flashing material things that they "rented" just for the day.

Well said Deanna. I am one of those KRAZY old school mama's. I teach my kids as much as I can. I always tell them. It's a lot of deception out here, and by me majoring in Mass Communications. I am learning a lot about the media. Although,I haven't scratched off the surface I have learned a lot. I tell them don't go all crazy for these rappers/singers they are human with serious secrets and faults. I tell them worship God and him alone.

Maya one suggestion, please take this time to reflect and think about what you really want to do in life. We the company I worked for downsized. I mean DOWNSIZED, the offered a center for us to come to and take classe and to access what we really like doing. A lot of us changed careers, started our own business, it was so refreshing. So, just take your time before you get back into the rat race and determine what your passion is and make a career out of it. Good Luck!
Reply to this
Maya, something better will come along for you, trust me on this. You have the right attitude. Clue: What is your passion? That is the key to your destiny, create a career around your passion. My passions are writing and gourmet cooking. I have a story to share, a dear male friend of mine died and I promised to help his children career wise. His daughter had a degree in political science, through connections, I asked her if she would like a White House internship, she politely turned it down. To keep my promise to my friend, another opportunity came up at $100,000 per year to be a personal assistant to a famous black celeb, she turned this down as well with hesitation. I soon realized, she is scared of success and is currently making minimum wage working at a store. About a yr. later, she came around asking if either job was available because she was in a financial crunch, they weren't but I wouldn't have helped her again anyway because she proved she was not reliable.
Reply to this
Myra, I hope you don't mind my adding my 2 cents to the story about your friend's daughter but I think that happens so much to people in my generation. My dad is a psychologist and he calls it being "programmed to fail". I have friends who went to the same schools that i went to (where my high school tuition was more than my college tuition) and they made pretty solid grades but when it was time to step out and apply all of that education they just wouldn't or couldn't. And now i think we may be the first generation that doesn't do better than our parents.
Reply to this
Litigating, I appreciate your two cents, we often speak the same language, good point, programmed for failure. She was 21 and had a chance to intern at the White House where she could have used her political science to degree to network and get on with a lobbyist firm and then develop into a powerful lobbyist. Like stockbrokers, I don't know any broke lobbyists. I laid out this plan to her, she seemed scared to death and is content with minimum wage employment but has a degree, no ambition. I can take you to the water but I can't force you to drink it. Having the white house on your resume in any capacity is prestigious and increases your chances for gainful employment. Oh well.

Myra- That is so sad. Many would love to have been given those phenomenal opportunities. I never understood people who let great opportunities pass them by.

I feel the same way. But we have to realize some people are just so comfortable living with day to day means. Making it only thus far in life and SETTLING!!!!

Reply to this
Myra, thank you so much for your kind words, coming from a successful woman like yourself, I feel honored. My passion is working with others. I am going back to school for Human Resource Management, I also networked with the plant manager and the Human Resources director at my former job, and he gave me his number and told me to call him while I'm in school as well as when I graduate, as he will be able to help. My job was a union job, and I had planned on running for union rep, until they told us of the plant's closing. I am 25 years old, and I haven't any more time to waste on jobs that prove to be dead-end. I was speaking to my friend, and he's schooling me on investing in a few stocks, he's going to school for business. I told him that my fellow Panachigans already had me up on it, he didn't get it!!! lol..and Myra, if you offered ME a job with a $100,000 per year salary, you better believe I would have been there!!! To intern at the White House??? I would've been on the NEXT thing smoking to Washington, D.C.!!!

I would recommend reading books by Dave Ramsey (www.DaveRamsey.com) because he has practical steps to get debt-free and live on cash ONLY while investing in college funds and retirement...and it's all spiritually based. He even has classes throughout the country called "Financial Peach University", which is a 13-week course to help show people how to live debt-free and by paying cash for everything, including houses and cars.
Another tip, on Labor Day, Memorial Day (I think), and Christmas time, he always sells his books on his site for $10 each. He has a national radio show and a tv show on Fox Money if you want to hear callers call in and advice him.
Another tip I can give, which is similar to what a few other people have said: Find what you're passionate about and make a written plan to make money at that goal.
I, myself, helped establish and ran a small real estate brokerage and a couple years ago it tanked due to family that were employeed there (and other reasons). You know the saying, don't work with family. I learned that lesson the hard-ass way!
Like I said, that was 2 years ago. I got a job doing something I'm good at but it's not my passion so I complain almost everyday about having to go there. And after thinking about it for quite some time, I figured out that I have been given a chance to follow my passion. I love luxury real estate (big houses) and I love weddings and physical fitness. So I'm working on those 3 things and trying to figure out a way to make money doing them.
If you tap into your passion and make a job out of it, the money will follow. AND it will be so easy because it's your passion. It's something you WANT to do, not something you HAVE to do.

Paying for cash only is GREAT advice and was the only way I was able to get myself out of debt. But when it was time to purchase my home, because I didn't have any positive credit (Like credt cards. I even cut up my atm debit card because I was abusing that too and paying 300-400 a paycheck in penalities) for the previous 2 years and before negative credit before then, my FICA score was still low and I got in with a high interest rate. Now that I have my mortgate - 13 months yea!! - and I got myself one of those credit cards with to re-establish credit.. I still only spend what I have available in my account, but I pay for it with the card and then turn right around within a week or two and pay the balance off from my checking account. In today's world you have to have some type of positive credit.. I think..
What do you think of that? Am I doing the right thing?
Also, after living from paycheck to paycheck for most of my 20s.. okay all of my 20s

There is a way to get a mortgage for a home without having a FICO score. Dave Ramsey recommends Churchill Mortgage, this is on his website.
Because you have a low FICO score or no FICO at all, you would have to find a lender who does their own underwriting and not a lender that let's a computer do the underwritting for them. Most lenders use the FICO score to determine the terms of the loan.
A lender who does their own underwriting will look at your employment history, how much a down payment you may have, and basically do what they use to do in the old days to determine if you are able to pay back the loan or not. It is a lot more work, and a lot of lenders don't use this method because it is a lot more work.
Now, in my opinion, if you can 100% pay off your credit cards at the beginning of each month and have a zero balance at all times, then go for it. Take advantage of the free miles or whatever benefits the credit card company offers BUT pay in full to avoid the interest. But 80% of people out there (if not more) intend on doing that, but they end up paying the minimum payment thus paying interest.
To me, the way to go is cash and only mortgage out the house. And if you mortgage the house, pay extra so that you can pay it off sooner, saving yourself money in interest. Forget the tax write-off that people boost about for having a house payment; Dave Ramsey breaks this down in his book.
A FICO score is useless to me. I believe you can survive without it. The Bible even talks about not being a slave to debt (couldn't tell you off the top of my head where, but I want to say it's in Proverbs).
You, yourself, have an example of how a FICO score is useless. You paid off your debts, proved you could do that, and because all your debt was paid off and you had nothing but income, your FICO score was low or not even there and you had a hard time finding a lender. Makes no sense, right?
Reply to this
All very good points, however, buying a home via FHA makes your fico score irrelevent, and there are ways to increase your score as much as a 100 points and you don't have to spend thousands of dollars, or for that matter hundreds of dollars to accomplish
Reply to this
This is all true, especially if you want to live a life filled with credit card payments and car payments and whatever other kind of payments.
I don't understand why a person has to get debt in order to get more debt. Doesn't make sense. If people change their paradigm, they will see that this is NOT a win-win situation for the person and a lender. It's only a win for the lender.

As far as investing, I'm just tapping into this myself so I don't know everything. BUT from what I'm reading so far the way to go is Mutual Funds. There are several types of funds to choose from. Another good investment is Roth IRA, which grows tax-free.
Most banks offer these types of financial planners, or you could actually meet with and interview different Financial Planners in your city like AIG, New York Life, Smith Barney, etc. Tell them what your goals are, have them work out a plan, and see which one works best for you, then hire one. Myra, the financial person on this site, what do you think about that?
Reply to this
WOW! Deanna. Your points are so valid and the churchill mortgage, I would have never known about.. This information is invaluable to me. I will definitely do my research on the mutual funds and the Roth IRA. I might even pony up for a financial advisor.
As someone said before, this site is for mature, intelligent individuals and this just further validates my love for this site. You guys are the best networking group I have ever encountered. From celebs and gossip to make up and finance. Gotta Love it!

@Nita- just wanted to add. If you decide to speak with a financial advisor, ask around for recommendations. My ex-hubby is an investor so when I was married, he gave me a lot of tip for investing my 401k and my outside investments. When we split, my company became part of a joint venture and I was faced with a multitude of decisions re: some stocks and investments that I had to either leave with the old company, move to the new company or move elsewhere. At the time I was going through a divorice and didn't want to ask the ex for advice. I asked questions to people that I knew were more knowledgable than myself and got the name of a few advisors. Met with the first one and got a bad vibe- I believe in following my instincts with the vibes. She spoke down to me and I didn't like her tude so I moved to the next person. The next advisor was like magic- we hit it off right away and I signed with that firm. I had the opportunity to meet Chris Garner after hearing him speak and 1 thing that stuck with me was when he said...when it comes to investing, it's not a black thing, it's not a white thing, it's a green thing. I am an advocate of doing black business whenever I can but if it's not the right situation go with someone that has a proven track record and explore your options. Be ready to share your short & long term goals and the right advisor will tell you how to mix your investments and risk ( high and low) to achieve your goals!
Reply to this
typo- that's Chris Gardner who was the basis of the movie The Pursuit of Happiness with Will Smith.
Reply to this
Excellent advice! People should always interview those who they want to do business with and follow their instincts/vibes. And, like you said, get recommendations from people you trust and/or admire because people who do big things have alliances with other people who do big things. They travel in the same circles. Good luck to you and your investing!

Okay, this is what you do: You want to get employment in the marritime industry, this is the school you enroll in for 3-4 yrs. They are begging for females and minorities and their is a 100 percent work guarantee after u graduate. The pay is staggering, on dry dock, my friend makes 1200 per day substituting for workers on 2-day vacations and $5600 per week on his normal shift. Pls go to csum.edu and you want to get on with the USNC Artic if you can but the other ships are great to. You work 6-8 months out the year, and can work as often or less often as you like, plan your own schedule, free food on the ships with maid service. You also receive full benefits. So this may be the school you would want to attend. After you graduate, normal job offers are 77 per student. More men at the academy than women but they desperately need women. Hope this helps. Too few blacks in this industry and they are not aware of the money and benefits that are outrageously good. And you get to see the world in the process.

You are so right, anon2, and it's such a shame. Once I became a single mother, my first investment was a house. I worked 2 and sometimes 3 jobs the first 5 of my son's 7 year life. He has bonds, and a savings portfolio bigger than mine. I stress to him even at the age of 7 how important it is to save and invest so hopefully he will not make the same mistakes with money that I did. It's a different world out here and these nonsense rappers need to take heed. Sometimes it's not all about flossing and fronting, but saving and investing!

Myra made mention in another thread about oneshare.com where parents can buy shares for their kids at reasonable prices for kid friendly companies like Disney and Toys R Us.

Just a side note - my daughter goes to a school (UPA) that just built a CREDIT UNION in it! They take the kids there to open their own savings account, teach them how to balance their budget and all that! My fellow Detroiters, remember UPA (they also are building their new middle school attached to the Science Center).
I got my start on Sharebuilder - I was suprised after a year how much $50.00 every 2 weeks went.
I'm going to take a look at the stock site for little ones...that also will be an option (buy Leapfrog!)

Just curious as to how you worked 2 or 3 jobs as a single parent. WHo watched your child? Im just curious. I mean if your son is 7 and for the first 5 years you worked 2 and 3 jobs, I am just curious did you have help from your parents?
Reply to this
Yes, indeed! Lots of help from my family. I can't thank God enough for the family that I have cuz they have truly been there for me. I worked a full time,and always kept one or two part time jobs in the beginning. Then, I lucked up and found an awesome bartending gig that paid me cash under the table. I made soooo much cash in that place, sad thing to say, but black folks love their liquor! That is actually where I met my husband. We got married 2 years later, and I sold my house, which doubled in price, and put that money away for my son, which he won't know about and cannot touch until 21 or completed college - whichever comes first.

I will keep my experience short as possible.
I started working over 30 yrs ago, my first corporate job mentioned nothing "to me" about savings plans, 401k or retirement. I was young, had a son and was just happy to have a job. I lost 10 yrs of investments and money. The job I have now has connected me with people that were willing to talk to me about investing/watching the market. A Brother here was sooo helpful. He told me to invest as much as I could when I become eligible (2 yrs). Well 1% was it. I was laid off after 10 yrs and that 1% grew to $40g's. At that time the companys stock was about $122 a share. I took the money because I was strapped. I am back with the company I did not loose any time and now I can match the companys 6% and I am watching every penny. A manager told me years ago, when your annual increase comes around, if your expenses have not changed drastically during the year, put your increase in your 401k and that's what I'm doing.
Other outside investments have put me over the top and investing in portfolios. I have a serious Sister helping me and others to a real early retirement.
It is such a wonderful blessing/feeling to be dept free and able to help with my Grand kids.
Nigeria, I bar tended too and the nightly tax free tips were no joke in the right establishment.

Some people believe that when you are flossing you have arrived. What they fail to realize is that very wealthy people floss ... but they do so after they pay for a house, invest in the stock market, set up trust funds for their children, set up tax shelters, invest in real estate, create businesses ... and so on. The very least of what they do is what you see. People should never mistake income for wealth.

you are right wealthy , not rich , hell dick cheney doesn't even floss , and look how much money he has " halliburton "... these rappers misread and misunderstand , because they are not educated they do not open thier mind .

You are so right. "Rich" people don't want you to know how rich they are.. That's why they call these guys "Nouveau Riche" because they are newly rich and considered "new money". They want to flaunt to everyone to show it off. The "old money" may buy a nice house and car, but you won't see them doing some of the outlandish crap you see a lot of these new stars doing. That's why I can't STAND to watch CRIBS. I'm not hating...but I just feel like it going overboard with some of the things these people do with their money when they could really put that money to good use for their future.

I travel overseas a lot , especially to asia .. As an example china / hongkong , the people are really wealthy , even the poor people have money . Just smart ... You go there this person is talking to you , possibly one might look at their clothes and hygiene and think poor as a church mouse ... Not the case, most chinese do not flaunt thier money . when they start to flaunt , they are really wealthy . USA has nothing on China wealth . One of my mentors is a billionaire there , smart smart woman ,. Never flossing, jewelry worn on ocassions , no press , no nothing , chaufers but no limo a van .. Sometime i watch these rappers and shake my head , i wonder what would happen if you just dropped them in third world countries can they survive?? I have been through stuff in some third world countries all by my lonesome , i was in haiti when they had the first mini coup, in china when we bombed thier embassy , and much more. I was invited to afghanistan but my husband feared i would be kidnapped so i did not go .. You work hard at your craft , and others with no talent sell thier soul for the paper and don't appreciate thier luck and blow it . I have no sympathy for them .

This is also what people of color should do ... travel, and I am not just talking about to the Caribbean or South America. When you travel and understand how other people live it puts your life, your family, and where you live into perspective. You begin to see that you are not so different from those in other countries as far as everyone wants to live life and prosper and you also see where things are very different, such as visiting a poor part of a third world country. That will bring a new perspective on what it means to be dirt poor. More people in general should travel.

I'm from ATL and I think I khow who this is although I can't remember his name. Was in a group a couple of years ago, not sure if he still is. I remember being in HS and the Health Dept calling all these girls out of class b/c he had just been diagnosed. One of my classmates had just had a baby by him. Sad thing is he's had about 10+ kids after that and it is well known that he had the package.

Off topic, I just read on another site that Chris Webber's ex was found murdered and shot in the head. She dated Webber when he was with the kings and she was from SAC. He dumped her when he found out she was dating a teammate, scandalous.

******kicks down door singing******Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya. If you really wanna party with me, put ya handz where my eyes can see.......Good morning all, I really thought Busta was extra sexy when he came back out after cutting his dreadz off. But, unfortunately all the rumors of him kirking out on the gay community and his ex-wife now being lesbian leads me to believe that this BI is him. At first I thought Lil Weezy and I still think somethings not quite right with him and his "daddy", but, this BI I think is definitely Busta. excuse, if I am rambling haven't had that first cup of Joe =)
Reply to this
my guess is lil wayne...
if you know his music he always talks about my swagger this, my swagger that, plus he's always bashing male homosexuals.
Reply to this
Hmmm.. bravado with a scowl.. WITH A SCOWL...CMON ITS BUSTA..
I must admit.. when I read this BI before I went to bed last night (no comment section then).. I immediately thought CHINGY because he has been all over the place denying his bi-sexuality (bi-sexuality=gay to me!!).. but even though CHINGY has been very vocal about this.. he still doesn't have SWAGGER, BRAVADO WITH SCOWL.. so it can't be him..
BUSTA is so phony... how can you dog the gay community, yet dine and hang around INSIDE the community.. DOES ANYONE NOTICE THAT HE SEEMS TO BE ALWAYS IN THE VICINITY OF THE GAY COMMUNTIY?.. and when the media comes around.. he puts on the act? All celebrities ACT when the cameras are around.. because there's no privacy?
Are you picking up what I am putting down? Can someone co-sign on this?
Oh yea.. I want to send a shout out to Heather Hunter.. who I havent heard from lately.. Have a wonderful weekend, and keep the art coming DIVA.. keep making this world beautiful...
Reply to this
Foxy, you are so right, Chingy has been telling everyone he is not gay and some articles are quoting him as stating that he hates gays.
I am leaning more towards Busta on this one!
Reply to this
yes , i have notice it . Its like a script .... It's like a straight man always hanging out on the gay side of the village in nyc . like you know when you go there , that the people you claim not to like are going to be there. Also busta's videos .

hey heather,
this is off topic...
i have a question for you. is vanessa blue a 'force' behind the scenes in porn. she seems to be doing it up? she comes across as 'highly' intelligent not just smart.
why doesn't 'adam and eve' have black contract girls? i know that carmen is of some latin descent, but there are black porn actresses that can hold their own, i.e. $$$$$.
if i am not mistaken vanessa has some dealings with 'adam and eve' on a business level?
Reply to this
Yes, Vanessa is branching out, even more so after her broken engagement to Lexington Steele in 2006. She is a force to be reckoned with, good for her.
Reply to this
They have to pretend that they arent down with the program when cameras are rolling. If he was that d*amn offended he would have walked out of that resteraunt when he realized that the majority of the individuals in it ,were gay/transexuals. Hes more comfortable around them neck of the woods than he wants to let on,and whats sad is that there are many many more like him! A man whos really comfortable in his sexuality doesnt have to put on fake bravado,and shout how he gets down loudly whenever he suspects people are watching! Its so hyporcritical how these Dl men in the industry talk grimy about openly gay men(who in my opinion seem very comfortable with their sexual orientation),all the while indulging on the low!
Reply to this
Good morning everyone!! I'm guessing Busta as well. My first guess was Wayne, but he doesn't have bravado with a scowl, while Busta does, and he would seem the type to try and diss gays in front of his boys, to save face. I'm going wit Bussa-Bus!!!

Alicia needs to shut up because she is not a straight woman, she is a boi acting stud at best. Gays are not trying to ruin her career, they seem to embrace their own.
Reply to this
i honestly don't believe that anyone would throw stones nor start a riot if alicia is a lesbian. at best her male fans would hope she's into mff threesomes.
i think most of her fans are women. however, she does need stop commenting about her sexuality or protesting it.

I agree. I thought I was the only one hating it. It is usually a tale tale sign when they try to sell the artists appearance more than the music.
Reply to this
I agree !at first her music sold itself now ,she has had to do so much damage control because her sexuality or/ sexual preferences have been questioned that she is not performing at her potential.I read that she said"I know why everyone thought I was gay, look at how I use to dress and those corn rows". (She looked and looks very pretty to me )although ,I m scared she is trying soooo hard and has taken the emphasis from her music and placed it all on her looks and maybe a rushed album!!!????

On this topic, this is Busta Rhymes. A young black guy did a documentary on homophobia and homophobic attitudes within Hip-Hop. When he questioned Busta Rhymes, he acted like a complete fool, shut the guy down saying he refused to even get into this with him, and walked out on the interview. This, along with his other public antics sealed the deal for me when I saw it. This was approximately 1-2 years back.
Off topic, I have something to comment on from a previous thread that hit a very personal note with me. I have to leave, but will be back later to comment.
Need to determine the best way to speak on it, while respecting the privacy of persons (including myself) involved.

I was going to post on this very same incident. Mos Def and Talib Kweli were in the room when Busta stormed out. They looked as if they were trying hard not to laugh. I also thought it was so interesting that he just "happened" to be at a diner next to a gay club. Busta, puh-leeeze. How you doin' Spliff Star!

I remember catching that documentary as well! Before he left the room, he definitely came across really homophobic with his general attitude towards the subject. The phrase "Doth protest too much?" immediately sprang to mind.

hey y'all..
it is rumored that the answer to one of the mainstream BI about an entertainer being strapped for cash but may end up doing a tell all on her friends is...
dionne warrick. did that robbery in italy seems suspicious to anyone?
Reply to this
Dionne has never been good with money and once borrowed money from Whitney when she was on top. Dionne has always been rumored to be bi and was once linked to that solid gold dancer darcell (I think that was her name) the one married to Glenn who used to be in the Tempts. Between acting jobs, before Miami Vice, Philip Michael would use women to take care of him, like a kept man, he relied on his looks, the women didn't even have to be cute, just have money. The only time Dionne ever made money was when she used to buy properties and refurbish them with two white guys but that went belly up and she also made a bundle off the psychic friends network before that went belly up.
Reply to this
PS: Forgot to put in my above post that Philip Michael lived off Dionne before his career took off, like a kept man.
Reply to this
Phillip M.Thomas has always been one fine mf.Even now , at an age that would be considered far past prime (esp in industry) hes quite the looker,but I can see him as a gigaloo too.I remember him and Dionne and that whole Psychic network crap.I guess smoney must have been tight!Dionne got that strong jaw , so maybe she was putting on him!
Reply to this
Philip is absolutely beautiful and his skin is so clear, you can damn near see your reflection, his eyes are like Sable's, they change color. If he would not have made it as a actor, he would have made it as a gigolo and still can when he keeps his weight down. He has got to be in his 50's.
Reply to this
That's true about Dionne - everyone old school knows about her - & if she was pressed for cash, Whitney should have just given it to her - that is her aunt
Reply to this
This is so strange because I vaguely remember Dionne's house overseas getting robbed(where the houskeeper was tied up and everything) while she was on tour like 10 years ago.
Reply to this
I remember Darcell being the lead dancer on Solid Gold back in the 80's that sista not only could dance but she had a body out of this world. She married the guy was in the Temptations.
It was also rumored that Dionne Warwick was a tempermental BITCH when she hosted Solid Gold.
It doesn't surprise me that Phillip Michael Thomas relied on his looks to be a kept men( women do it all the time)I never understood why Dionne got involved with That Psychic crap anyway. I figured it had something to do with her in need of money. I know she's a O.J. Simpson supporter.
If she was linked with Darcell it makes me wonder what did her hubby have to say about it all?
Reply to this
Yeah, that did seem a little strange. I hate to say but, most of the stars especially seasoned ones get alot of love from across the water. She really didn't have to go that far to get robbed really??

I personally didnt understand his need to come at Pharell and Kanye West the way he did ,about their sexuality.It seemed like his reason was based on their style ,the way they dress. We all know or should know by now that it really doesnt matter how a man dress, unless hes walking around with a pink feather boa around his neck,and lace undies, you cant determine their sexual orientation based solely on the way they dress! I'm not one to call Kanye my favorite person( I think his behavior at times seems immature )but him and Pharell are selling records and making money in the industry as artist ,producers,and hes not on their level in that way so they were easy targets .I think it was jealousy!He had a scowl on his face ,when he was talking about how they wear gucci loafers,and this and that! I was liek wow so your reason for thinkign they are gay is because they dont walk around with the ir pants hanging off theirs ass,hair uncombed,looking and acting grimy like you?lol too funny!He needs to get in the studio and make a new hit record and spend less time worrying about Kanye and Pharell who both seem to be doing aight on the charts.

i guess dawn and dre allen aren't together anymore? what happened to the youtube show with cockroaches? anyways, here is what he posted on his myspace, supposedly...
First & foremost, I would hardly EVER respond to sh*t talking from anyone but today I make an exception. These two ASS HOLES have gone on a rampage to destroy my name today while no one was even THINKING about them. If you read the blog comments, I was referred to by Dawn’s sister as a transvestite f**king homosexual who beats women & has sex with every woman he meets! Wow…gay but has sex with every woman I meet…LOL…this sh*t is a laugh! Well…since she felt the need to have her sister & a few of her closest friends come over here let me give you all the REAL reason why I left Dawn’s ass!!!
One…she was signed up to porno sites & wanted to swing with other couples…before I got involved with her she admitted to sleeping with 17 men in one month from one swinging site…I GAVE HER THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT & THOUGHT SHE WAS JUST REALLY COMPENSATING FOR ALOT OF INSECURITY! I stayed. THEN…she NAGGED the shit out of me day in & day out because I was always busy & she didn’t know enough about the business to just get her own shit done…NO…she wanted to be a f***ing DIVA & complain about EVERY f***ing thing that I DID set up like she was still BEYONCE! NOBODY was checkin for her ass when I was with her! NOBODY hardly would book shows unless she was in En Vogue…I side busted & got their asses back together but the only ones who knew what they were doing was the other 3 members of the group! THEY were the smart ones!
They knew how to get shit done & book shows but I had to always appease Dawn’s ass & say…”no, you’re right baby…those old tired bitches ain’t nothing without you”…SHIT…she is quite literally THE stupidest person I have ever met…I fell out of love with her…I left her…now these IDIOTS are coming to my page trying to destroy my name with my fans??? HOW DARE YOU!!! You don’t want to dance with me! Why? Because I dont give a F**K! Your record is PUBLIC! You got kicked out of En Vogue & they didn’t even want to FACE you because you are the most DIFFICULT person in the world to deal with! They left you sitting at a photo shoot for the last album & didn’t tell you where they were at shooting the EV3 cover without you…remember that???
Raphael Saadiq kicked you out of Lucy Pearl because your attitude jeapordized an operation he worked HARD to get off the ground…and HE didn’t even face you…you found out you got kicked out on the RADIO!! Ask yourself why Dawn…because…you’re a phony, nagging, complaining, two faced, spoiled rotten BITCH!!!!! We haven’t even STARTED talking about your deal with Dr. Dre! What happened there Dawn? He BOOTED you before you even started because he saw your mouth a mile away! You dug this grave for yourself! Now here is a warning…keep my name out of your mouth & keep your friends & family members OFF of my myspace page”
Reply to this
Dre is such a joke, latched on to her for name status, be honest, would anybody know dre if he wasn't married to dawn. Dawn is a fool and was forewarned about Dre' mental issues but she loved his look. This fool is so goddamn crazy he told his then fiance that he needed her engagement ring to clean, gave it to his side woman who ran into the fiancee at a audition, she recognized her ring and they got into it. Another time, a girl who has his baby went to the house of another of his women, while holding the baby she was trying to throw punches at her and screamed that he gave her a STD. This negro is scandalous and props to the PR poster who said he has mad restraining orders, he is close to breaking the world record on that.

Did he half to put all of their personal business on a myspace page like that?From all I have heard about them 2 so far I tend to believe that ehy are both really needy of attention. I know that it was stated that she left Lucy Pearl (or got kicked out ) group for being a diva. She left Envogue supposedly because the money wasnt right and the contract was too binding.She wanted to do her own thing! Some say that she had attitude issues then! Either way they both need to think of a way to better handle their business than putting on a site like myspace.

Loving this site, where else can you chat with insiders, celebs and brilliant posters. And its so nice, no arguments, loving it. As for Dionne, would not be surprised if her old ass set this up, she needs the cash, too busy throwing it away on pretty boys young enough to be her grandsons and pretty girls, young enough to be her granddaughters. She needs to do a power move like the Hollywood players and have her tricks added into her contract, bought and paid for. She needs the insurance and I also heard she was creeping with that Solid Gold Girl.

Aretha Franklin's book was the most disappointing book to profile on this site because she glossed over everything. I think we only found two statements excerpt worthy and that was it. We will be excerpting Phyllis Hyman in the near future.

Paris,
You are so right, When I finished Aretha's book when it came out,I had to go on a serious diet. All that women talked about was food (greens, chitlins) straight up soul food. Didn't talk much about her life at all. It was very disappointing. Someone needs to do an unauthorized book on her...Like the person that did "Call Her Miss Ross".....
Reply to this
Hi Charles,
"Call her Miss Ross" was not holding anything back. I felt like I was watching every Soap Opera, mystery movie and drama. When I was done I was like Whoa, Ms. Ross might be the boss but she better sleep with one eye open cause that past may come back in a big big way.

Hey LinaB,
That book was Off Da Chain...When I started reading it I couldn't put it down. So I feel you when you say it had Soap Opera, Mystery and Drama...They need to do a book like that on Aretha.. I am sure there is or was more dirt than she told about herself. Did you read Diana's Book she wrote??? If you didn't don't. I have had that book for years and never made it thru the 1st chapter. She was basically like Aretha, not talking about nothing....
Reply to this
Yeah, that's the one she tried(albeit unsuccessfully) to get the courts to stop being released.
Interestingly, the author, J Randy T., just re-released the book a couple of months ago to pick up where he left off. It's really a great read and PR should post excerpts of that IMO.

Sparkle was a great movie I saw it a long time ago when it came out. And I thought Phillip Micheal Thomas was so cute I would get bashful just watching him on screen.
Reply to this
The filming was tense for Irene Cara because she was young crushing on Philip and he wasn't interested. He later told interviewers that she was like a sick pup over him and it was distracting, Irene was pissed. He also said, she found him so irresistable but Phil is nice and is known for calling the ladies who send him their number.

Lonette McKee OWNED Sparkle they way JHud did Dreamgirls. I found Irene to be rather dissapointing.
Reply to this
Irene is cool with me. At least she ain't one of those Puerto Rican denying her Blackness. Besides PMT was too old and sophisticated for her. Good to see he didn't take advantage of a lovesick teenager.
Reply to this
Yep, you are right, that was Lonette McKee's film. Wonder why she didn't blow up afterwards and in the theater I was in, half the men got up and left after her character was killed off, to them, the movie was unofficially over.
Reply to this
I am also a major Lonette McKee fan...To me, she has still obtained success... behind the scenes though.. people don't necessarily have to be recognized in order to blow up.. She became involved in music/writing/acting I believe.. but not on a 'famous' level, but still she has a great following.. still has many fans.. I am still amazed by her talent over her beauty.. She still looks great.
Reply to this
I think part of the reason she didn't blow up after Sparkle was because Motown, or whatever label that distributed the soundtrack, replaced her version of the Curtis Mayfield songs with Aretha's.
I have mad respect for Aretha, but Lonette's versions were superior and had those singles been released she would have been R&B's next IT girl. At least she is supposed to be producing a movie with Spike Lee.

This comment thread was so good I wish I wasn't traveling on business the day it started!!!
I get what everyone is saying about protecting yourself and I 100% agree, however I don't get the uproar about Southern Belle's patient. So people with or HIV or AIDS can't flirt!?! Or have relationships? Yall are acting like he committed a crime because he was friendly towards her. He knew she had to know his status. I think yall are making a whole lot of assumptions on one encounter. Did he ask her to lay down on the bed and have unprotected sex...he may have contracted the disease in his line of work or anything the point is we don't know and SB obviously didn't ask. I think that these type of stigmas and phobic attitudes are the cause of this disease running rampant in our communities. Now Lord knows I want to be informed by my partners and I make sure that I do what's necessary to protect myself and that is my personal responsibility. The last time I checked flirting alone will not give you AIDs.
Oh and Eric why you let dude push your buttons like that? I had to lol at how you cussed him out. Ignore him like you are telling us to do. You are the spymaster and you know in a minute he's gonna be gone so don't sweat it. The people here have his number.

Sparkle was a cool movie, it was on a few weeks ago. Irene Cara was ok in the movie but I agree that Loretta Mckee was the better actress. I saw that movie back in I think 75 or 76 and I remember crying when Sister's died from an overdose, it was scary to see her in that coffin that was the first time I saw someone in a coffin in the movie so it kinda freaked me out.
The other sister played by atress Dawn?I never saw her in anything after that movie. Phillip Michael Thomas was good in the movie as Stix. Sparkle was like a Dreamgirls thingy I kinda thought Irene Cara was a little young but she still did a ok job. I guess I kinda don't blame her too much for having a crush on Phillip Micheal I mean he's a cutie pie and she got to kiss him so it's kinda hard not to be attracted. Loretta Mckee I thought she was so pretty and I have always loved the actress Mary Alice who played the mother.Whenever Sparkle comes on I have to watch it.

As for the blind item: Busta Rhymes,without a doubt.Why?That dude has so much BAD KARMA around him it ain't funny.As far as i'm concerned he needs to do the right thing by his slain bodyguard who took a bullet protecting his jewelry.Last year, a DL brotha called Wendy Williams and put him and his squad on blast.The young man was allegedly roughed up at a DL party by Busta's squad and the gays are not feeling him right now.Busta can't sell a record if he tried and his Flip Mode squad has turned on him...no promo,$ and broken promises.As for these broke rappers, i have NO sympathy for them...too bad they didn't learn from all our legendary entertainers that did the same things back in the day...Redd Foxx,Richard Pryor,Sammy,JB,etc.Love hearing from Sable,Nigeria,HH and all the other regulars...thanks for your input

The problem is there are too many DL's in hip hop, however based on the clues in the BI this is Busta and if it isn't him well I just outed his ass. I know for a fact he sees t-girls. Remember when I first came on the site a few months ago I told you of an escort that works with a t-girl? Ok, then. I am leaving for "work" for a week I'll be back on the 18th. No fighting while I'm gone. Have a great weekend and a wonderful week. -Adios

Hi Anon2, this is something I never got, why is it that Terry Mcmillian didn't realize when she met her younger hubby that he was gay? I mean when U look back at the picture they took together u can tell right off that he's gay. I mean was it that she was too close to notice or was she in denile.
A friend of mine was saying that when they were on Oprah it seemed strange and she thinks Terry knew all alone that he was gay but maybe Terry hope that she could change him and when she couldn't she was so hurt that she just decided to expose him and to keep from being embarrassed over it all so she claim to not have known he was gay.
I think it was kinda odd too when they were on Oprah it's something the two of them is not saying because I think she knew and maybe have paid him not to say she knew. Because at one point I think they let it slap that she got turned on the way other men looked at him.
So I'm not convinced that she didn't know he was gay. I mean my goodness his eyebrows are waxed better then hers his style in clothes is better then hers, his hair is whipped better then hers.
As much as I love me some Star Jones I think the same in gonna happen with her marriage later on down the way her hubby is gonna come forward and admit that the talk about him being gay is all true. I don't know if she's claim she didn't know( b/c she does) but in Star Jones case I think she accepts him being gay or bi but she's so in love with him and she might feel that she may not ever get a chance at marrige again so she and he married each other because I'm sure they love each other and they married for companionship.
Reply to this
When I met Wendy Williams it was right when that Terry "DL" scandal hit and she said Terry, being middle-aged, was the biggest fool she ever known and that she coulda saw Johnathan a mile coming. I mean didn't the man were her make-up???
I think Terry was desperate for love, making something that was supposed to be a fling into something long-term. He made her feel a certain way that she didn't care about his same-sex attraction. I think when he told her he didn't want the fairytale marriage anymore it was her ego that was bruised the most.
Reply to this
Ur right B- I think the same about her being desperate and that she could have seen him coming a mile away. And after six yrs of marriage I'm sure there were many times he did something that showed her signs that he's gay. I bet her family picked up on it right away and Terry no dout made excuses for the way he carries himself.
This is how it may have happen he saw this much older woman (from a mile away)
SHE Terry(being a woman over 40 and who has been around the block & world knowing he's gay but didn't care since she already smitten by his charms and goodlooks thought how many other chances will I get at this? maybe he's not really gay just a gay who has likes to keep himself looking good I mean people thought for yrs Prince was gay b/c he keeps himself looking neat & pretty in a girl like way and the world still love and accept him. Maybe I'll succeed at something women have been trying to do for yrs and felled at maybe I can change him from a hen to a rooster live a happy life then write a book about it.
When that didn't happen after six yrs she got fedup and just went public with it before his male lover write his book first.
Thats how I see it how do YALL see it?
Reply to this
Right on, Hi Doll. When I saw the picture in a magazine, I knew he was gay. She knew too, that's why she lost her mind when he left her. So many women buy into the notion that, without a man, they're not whole, which is a bunch of bunk.

That's hilarious, GS I'm so happy you decided to stick around. Regarding the blind item, it is likely Busta, but if it isn't we have plenty of DL rappers to pick from. As far as the ATL come up guy... I need more clues. ATL is the #1 growing city of African-Americans being newly diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. There are many gays, DLs, and many cheating men. However, it takes two to tango. Also, many entertainers live there, I'm pretty sure some of them are spreading things, such as lil scrappy.

Quick question, has anyone ever been to Atlanta. Some of the women there had very nasty attitudes, and being from the Chi, I felt that it was uncalled for. Has anyone ever experienced this...is it the competition factor with their available female to male ratio being 7:1
Reply to this
Funny you say that, I live in Ft.Lauderdale, FL and I've visited ATL several times and I have always said the people there are very down to earth including the women (no homo). Cause I don't really see the people here (miami/lauderdale) greeting each other here unless you know them. I am a friendly person and when I walk in a room I usually greet everyone and the looks I get in return is ridiculous like "who the she talking to?" lol

Reply to this
I've lived there, I think that is an unfounded stereotype of Atlanta's black women. (I'm not discounting your personal experience though Booms.) I've lived in Chicago as well, and honestly more men tried to date me exclusively in ATL than Chicago, so my anecdotal answer is that the competition thing is hype. My friend T (who is a model and gorgeous) and I lived in somebody's VIP area in ATL clubs/lounges (which to me, VIP in ATL is hardly VIP, they could take a few lessons from NY and CHI on that). Anyway, we never experienced any attitudes from other women. However, we did meet our share of zanies. For example, one night I was out post-date with a record executive in his reserved VIP area in a popular ATL club. Anyway, I invited my friend T to join us, which she did. Anyway, I'm sitting with my date, drinking, conversing, and otherwise enjoying the evening, and this young lady comes up to us and says how beautiful I am and how beautiful my fur coat is, and she would love to do my make-up in the future. Then she goes back to her seat. I mean no hello, or nothing as a precursor to her statement; I'd never seen or met the woman in my life. So I ask my date what was going on, and he laughs telling me that this woman's father is wealthy and she is sleeping with one of my date's up-and-coming artists, and the artist is trying to get her to give him a huge lump of her dad's money, but the artist didn't care about her otherwise. Anyway, my date explains that in her own warped way of thinking, by trying to impress me, my date, and the artist who was also in the room, that would ingratiate the artist to her. It was crazy! So, anyway, I met plenty of desperate women in ATL, but I never experienced any attitude. And one caveat, lots more guys tried to date me in ATL, but who knows which of them may have been DL. But honestly, I think the DL reputation ATL has is overhyped as well. Does it exist in ATL? Yes, but I don't think the DL phenomenon is any more prevalent in ATL than other major cities like NY and CHI. However, I do think women in ATL, maybe due to the desperation or perceived lack of available men, man-share more than women in other areas. Just my humble opinion!
Reply to this
You are correct regarding the DL situation. It's no different then the crime. Atl had the most DLs and crime rate when I lived there and when I moved back home DC had the most DLs and the highest crime. I love my city but my eyes are always crossed and the radar is on high.

I've been in the 'A' for over a year from NY and I must say I've never felt so lonely....partly because I'm tired of the dating scene here. Most of the men here even the most unattractive guys are players here. Supposedly the ratio of women to men are 20:1, meaning like Teina said they don't mind sharing and that's just something I don't want to do. One guy was nice enough to tell me, he didn't want to see me anymore coz he wasn't ready to fall in love with me coz he could see it happening and that he still wanted to sleep around, thank God he was honest....Phew....
It's so crazy here that when u see couples, the woman is hanging tight to her man and giving you the evil eye like "don't even think about it" lol....

Hey Booms,
I visited Atlanta in October of '06 during the Dirty Awards. I had no idea an award show was going on while I was in town until I left my hotel at the Ritz and walked over to Lennox Mall. It was funny because I was like my gosh is Atl really always this fun? I have to say the women were very friendly to me suprisingly.

I have been to Atlanta ,however I didnt notice cattiness among women anymore in Atl than I did in any other state I traveled to .I think those type women are in every state,just as you have down to earth friendly women who arent catry.Perhaps I just was fortunate not to run into it those types. I had a great time for most part!

Booms, I lived in Atl for 4 yrs a while ago and I wouldn't say they have nasty attitudes, It felt more like "don't be trying to come and take what we got" attitudes. Don't take it personally. I met a lot of young, (I look very young) beautiful sisters with good heads on their shoulders. Well educated but not really sure of there paths. Things are fast and slow in Atl. The kids are there so I still run through about once a month.
And please don't talk about the ratio. More like 20 to 1. After you weed through what you have to work with I stayed single. I was just there to raise my son in a quieter (it's a word today) environment. Please don't hollar at me, I'm sensitive at my old age. This is just what I came across and not Atl as a whole. I'm feeling the same way here in NC. I'm from up north. Wether it's a basketball game or a club the men are happy as hell to see me but the women are another story. It's really beautiful here.

Hi all,
My guess is Busta he seems to fit the profile.
On the finances I have some questions and a little info.
Washington Mutual has a program for children called school savings. it can be done at any school an adminstrator just needs to call them. Any child can open up an account for $1 in their name. Anyone can make deposits, but only the child can make withdrawls. They receive a quarterly statement and a register to keep track of their balance. This teaches the child about saving & banking.
There is also a program called Schlors Choice. You set the your on monthly contributions. Based on your childs age so much money goes towards their savings and the rest is invested in steady long term stocks. I've found it to be a really good program for me check it out.
Now my question is about investing in stocks. I was a very young mother and was not taught the important of finance and good credit. I was brought up get it how you can. When I found out how to do things the right way it was to late. So i've spent alot of time rebuilding and repairing my credit.
II am in my very early 30's and have a 15yr old kid. She is hard working and is very money savvy. I am trying to find better ways to educate her and myself at the same time.
I make a decent living and I am trying to learn how to invest my money wisely and yield a good return. I know mininmal amounts about stocks and bonds. Beyond saving for my child and college i am quite clueless. I would like to be more informed. Any suggestions??
Thanx in advanced!!

I won't call myself a longtime lurker - I prefer quiet observer - but I've been reading this site every day for a while now. I was ecstatic when the comments section was created just so I could see if everyone else was thinking what I was thinking. That atmosphere the last few days has been tense, and the prospect of a private comments section heartbreaking, but I feel like the PR world is normal again. I love enlightening exchanges with grown folks. Thanks Myra, Paris and all the regulars who keep it grown in here.
And for the record, I'm going with the consensus...Busta used to seem cool, but he's changed a lot over the years. I guess he's tired of hiding...

Thanks for your comments guys. The men in Atlanta did want very serious relantionships with me, but sometime you just want to do your female things with a good female friend, and the only female friend I made was with a girl from Houston. Then I ran into a woman from Philly whom felt the same way. Also, you guys are right the DL thing is everywhere, I think it is just more noticeable in Atlanta, because people tell you of the stereotype and then you pay extra attention to it. I'm going back to Atlanta to visit a guy friend, so when I go out I will see if I still get that "who is this Bi@$#" vibe.

After we dated for awhile and I felt more comfortable with him, I asked him about his oral hygiene and how he maintained with all that mess in his mouth. He explained how periodically he had to go to the dentist to get each tooth covering removed and have each cap and his teeth cleaned etc. It was an involved and tedious process. He also explained that a lot of the guys with real grills don't do the necessary maintenance and their teeth rot under the caps or whatever so that's why a lot of them have bad breath etc. Also, a lot of what you see are not grills, but snatch-outs. So the guys with snatch-outs really don't have any excuse to have bad breath.

I personaly dont like grills ,fronts ,whatever they choose to call them.I think the money that some of these rappers spend on these grills could be put to better use -investing in some extensive oral hygeine cosmetic dentistry procedures to improve the teeth they already have,or in some cases the ones they lost,lol! Teina -its good your ex stayed on point as far as the dental hygeine was concerned .Alot of these guys with grills have some stankin breathe,that will singe the hair in your nostrils .They dont brush their own d*amn teeth but will throw some ugly gold,platinum, fronts in and get all up in a sistas face trying to hollar! I didnt like it back in the day when it was a trend and I still dont!
Didnt the guy from Cash Money spend $500,000 or something along them lines for platinum and diamond grills?lol Ridiculous!

Hello all .. As usual I am late !! I think it's Buster Rhymes like pretty much the majority. On a sidenote my brother a soon to be pro basketball player(sister brags gloats proudly). A few years ago, was playin in a basketball tournament in Tennessee. Anyhoo, Busta's ex wife was there with the kids and she almost whupped somebody azz over a parkin space. I didn't see the incident unfold but, apparently it was a disagreement that boiled over. I do remember Busta fighting her for custody of the kids. I thought it was more about of being vindictive than anything else. Busta stated she was doing "things" with her girlfriend within view of the kiddies. His ex stated, things were done in the bedroom and one time one of the kids walked in. I don't remember but ,he came off like a real homophobic bully. I remember Mizz Jones gloating about him in her book. I didn't read the whole book only the part about Busta. Again, I do believe this to be him Chingy might be a second guess. Maybe "no sense" would be third based off his homophobic banter in playboy mag.

Damn, Dionne Warwick is scandalous, she also used to live with that Al guy who drove OJ in the Bronco. And she's bi, shit, increases her chances of a date on Sat., by 50 percent. I would not be surprised if this was a insurance scam. Why she always getting robbed every five years.

ROFLMAO @ H-Bomb about Dionne thats too funny
But I agree she does seem to always get robbed a lot. This is either from bad security systems or she's has the worse luck in the world.
Remember when David Letterman's stalker always seem to find her way into his home I think before she jumped in front of a running train and killed her fool self she had broke into his home twice.
I always wonder how and why that happen a 2nd time.
The thing with she Warwick I don't know it is kinda shady, I mean if she has pyshic friends u would think they would warn her to lockup her place b/c she can see a robbery in her future. I love Ms. Warwick but she has had some bad luck that could have been avoid had she just use her head. Like when she was stopped at the airport b/c she had weed in her lipstick tube. This is the first I head about her being bi

I was just reading about Cindy Birdsong wanting to be induced into the Hall Of Fame. I thnk she should be since she was a part of The Supremes bump what Mary Wilson has to say about it. For yrs after Florence Ballard left the group Cindy Birdsong stepped in and she was in fact a Supereme it really shouldn't matter that Ms.Birdsong is not a original Superme but she was and people do recongize her as a Superme and she deserves the credit.
Mary Wilson is acting childish to say that if Cindy Birdsong is inculded she will not attend. It should a "OH WELL" thing if Mary Wilson wants to miss out then so be it

riddle me this...
why can't these rappers and athletes fix their teeth? i grew up in a rural, southern town. my folks were working class and could not afford dental insurance. if we had a nagging cavity, they paid out of their pocket to have it filled. anywho...
so when i became employed and signed up for dental insurance, i took care of business. it was costly.
these cats have/had millions and won't fix their teeth. has anyone seen morgan freeman's? but i'mma leave him alone. he gets a pass.

Morgan Freeman's mouth is disgusting! I guess the movie execs know to add digital enhancement of his teeth in their movie budget when they cast him.
I saw him on The Food Network a while ago on that Rachel Ray show where she use to interview celebrities (was some years ago and didn't last too long) and I saw that his teeth were damn-near orange (I could be exaggerating, but I don't think by much) and I was disgusted for like a week after that.
Gross!

Right on, re Morgan Freeman. George Clooney has ugly mouth furniture as well. It ain't right not to handle your business when it comes to your dental work. As my late maternal grandmom used to say, "Ain't no teeth like your own teeth."

I agree they are so blinded by all that money they're making they never stop to take care of what needs to be taken care of first and full most. They go out and buy very very costly homes and cars they hangout with the wrong crowd of people and they will spend thousands and millions on drugs & parting just to showboat what they have when they should be putting that money towards.
The thing they fell to spend or use the money for like making sure they're taxes are being taken care of(ask Wesley Snipes)
Hey when u have the kind of money they're pulling in yes if you need those teeth fixed thats a good investment. It's just as easy to get the teeth fixed and pay those taxes as it is to get a boob job and drugs.

Hello All~ I've enjoyed reading this site for a long time since before there was a board that you could blog on...Welcome back GS!!!! I hope that in addition to your Sky Villa editorial that you will continue to post on here where we can all read your hilarious post.
Here's my two cents...I'm going to go w. Busta as well.
Reply to this
Everyone is saying Busta, chingy and dre....
When I read the BI I thought Bow wow...
Reply to this
Hi there, been lurking for a while but had to finally make a comment.
First, I am a white woman so I am not familiar with everyone that is mentioned here so I often must do a quick google photo search on the various celebs mentioned.
But what has me commenting today is that I am reading an awful lot lately about various black rappers, or sports figures and from where I sit, it is almost beginning to sound as if the whole black community is gay....lol
Now, I know it cant be.
Is it possible that people are going a tad overboard with "outing" celebs without definite proof?
It just seems from my perspective here, lurking, everyone is suddenly gay.
Am I the only one that is feeling this way?
Reply to this
First, I am a human above and beyond the color of my skin. If you read the other gossip sites such as Ted Casablanca and Perez Hilton they each suggest that a staggering number of supposed "straight" white actors/musicians are secretly gay or downlow bisexual. Did you post an email saying you think their blinds are suggesting that the whole white/hispanic community are gay...lol? A lot of white entertainers are drug addicts, gay, and have problems. No more than the black community and no less than the black community. Would you be less inclined to believe that the Rockers you know as stone cold ladies men actually prefer MEN?
Did you ever stop to think about the fact that lots of creative types also have an established propensity towards excess in regards to their sexuality and proclivity towards addictive lifestyles?
We have lots of blind items that don't deal with gay/downlow behavior. They deal with every aspect of human behavior and when I visit other gossip sites whether it is predominately white or latin, guess what those human celebrities have the same issues!

Yeah in Hollywierd the kink,fetishes,addictions and secrets are diverse and universal. Skin tone is not the immediate issue when it comes to those things for sure.

Yes thats her name Dwan Smith not Dawn and I do recall seeing her on The Jefferson she was singing plus she's a very pretty lady. I saw her in a commerical yrs and yrs ago but not lately I assume she's still alive.
In Sparkle she was the one who had dreams and she felt she needed to leave in order to have a better life then what was going on at home. Also in Sparkle they had her looking like the less pretty sister but in real life she's just as pretty as the other two ladies if not prettier.

He exploited her business because she and her sis were on his myspace acting childish. I don't like Dre but, given the circumstances he is probably right.

Since they couldn't get the reality show,I guess we will still hear the drama playin out.

The link was directly pertaining to the earlier comments in the post about Dr. MLK. I was not trying to push or post my beliefs. Even though he was a GREAT man for what he did and what he accomphished, what I directly believe to be true about MLK (adultery, communism, FBI tapes, etc..) were also directly expressed by other members of this post -myshipcomingin; chocolatte; Nubian etc... I just posted something I thought others might be interested in. That's all, that's it. And for your info Tony, I am fighting a war..YOUR war that allows YOU to sit on this same website and enjoy it just as I have the right to. I'm not a troll or a disruptor.

If you've followed his and O's relationship over the past few years you would know he does like her. In fact, they're so buddy-buddy and flirty in interviews and parties/events that I believe they've had an affair. And we must remember that first and foremost Trump is a businessman. Omarosa OWNED the first season of A and he and NBC knows it.
And I had the great pleasure of meeting the O in Chicago a few years ago. She's nothing like she portrays on TV.

Yeah that downlow thing is disgusting... However, it's not only men. Women have always been gay behind their husbands back. They've dragged along their husbands pretending to be something they're not! I don't condone none of this... But it's nice to know that men aren't the only ones doing this.
Reply to this
I trust you mean that the deception is what disgusts you. A persons sexuality is a personal journey and we do not have the right to dictate or judge that persons journey.
It extends beyond pretension and deception. It affects the persons significant other, children, family, and friends. Ideally, it would be considerate for them to be honest with their significant other; however, that is not always the case. This only emphasizes the need to communicate more effectively.
However, we must show tolerance of other peoples lives and allow them to make decisions for themselves and not force our moral terpitude down their throats.
Reply to this
I agree with you we need to be more tolerant. There is nothing wrong with being gay or bi just be honest about it. Oprah had a show on about married women who were lesbians. They all surpressed their feelings for women because they were scared of how society and their families would feel about them. Some of the women had told the husbands prior to marriage that they had feelings for women the men minimized it or were turned on by it.
Reply to this
I for one have no problems with anyone who's gay or bi. What I do have a problem with is when a person doesn't use a condom when he or she have sex outside the relationship.
Women who are attracted to other woman should still practice safe sex as if she's with a man.
And being gay, bi or a lesbian is nothing to be ashame of anymore, if after coming out turns family and friends against you then thats on them and u have to wonder if they ever really loved or cared about you in the first place. I have a few cousins on both sides of my family who are gay and it makes NO difference to us none what so ever. A few yrs ago a cousin on my mother side gathered the family together to tell everyone he's gay and he was so scared but he felt he had to do it. When he fineally said it a few got really quiet with a surprise look.
I was the first to get up go over to him embraced him I told him it doesn't matter to me I still love you and he's still was gonna take me out to dinner like he keep saying he's gonna do
He laughed because he felt the pressure of the weight lefted off him.The rest of the family all said they still love him too and we went on with hanging out and talking about whatever.
He was surprised that we didn't care his whole manner changed he was so relaxed after that
He's not in a relationship right now but he's a lot less timid around everyone when the family get together.

Didn't hear it from me this is what I found I hope it answers your question.
Though Eazy didn't say (and perhaps didn't know) how he contracted the virus, he implied that it was through unprotected sex with women. "I have seven children by six different mothers, " said the statement. "Maybe success was too good to me."

Hello everyone, I felt compelled to post after an encounter with a patient. I work as a nurse and I am privy to my patients medical records. One morning I decided to greet a new patient before reading the chart. This man was extremely handsome, articulate and he had swagger. I was impressed and spoke with him for a few minutes, when I left the room I thought what a nice guy!! After reading through his chart I was floored when I saw AIDs listed as one of his diagnosis. Ladies ,please, please be careful because things are not always as they seem. The patient looked the picture of health, he'd been admitted for knee surgery. Had I met him away from work I would have accepted his offer for a date. I am so grateful for this site. Again, ladies be careful because things are not always what they seem to be.

You are so right southern belle you can't always judge a book by it's cover. And the sad part is I'm sure other woman have met a guy who was fine, charming as can be and ended up in bed with him after knowing him one day or night.
I don't care how fine the person is it's better to be safe then sorry and do the smart thing if u feel u want to be with a person make sure you both get tested. Bacause a night of pleasure and passion can be a death sentence later.

There's nothing wrong with being with the same sex... However hiding is the bad part. Knowing good and well you're bisexual and lying is wrong. that's why a lot of bisexual people have bad reps. Half of them have folks that don't care the lie and pretend something and have careless ways about themselves...
Tha'ts why lesbian women are pissed at bisexuals and some straight women... But hey NOT EVERYBODY IS THE SAME!
Reply to this
The killing part is after I asked questions in regards to medication that are only taken by people with AIDs, this guy answered matter of factly. He acted as if I was inquiring about a cold. I was saddened by this and disgusted. That's why I am thankful for this site because the DL lifestyle is frequently discussed otherwise I would have been pissed. Almost famous your right, these men are obligated to tell the women they are involved with but like my patient they could care less.

I'm just just curious about how you know that this patient was on the DL,or attempting to hide anything! Assuming that you have access to that info I'm sure that he knew that his mediacl information was in his chart. Its supposed to be confidential to everyone but the people who work and have permission to have access to patient charts!There is more than one way to contract HIV aids and evry person who has it isnt on the dl!
Reply to this
The only problems that I have with that story is 1. How do we know he was planning to withold that info from a woman he was about to sleep with, 2. How do we know he got it from a man, and 3. How do we know if he did get it from a man he wasn't strictly gay and not DL?

Good points! I was kinda womdering that too.

I guess to guys on DL telling a woman he's on the DL is like telling he's married he rather not mention it b/c he knows it will spoil his plan to get together with her. The minute he says he's married she still might get with him. But if he tells her he's on the DL he knows the first thing she will do after getting a surprised look he knows she will think he's gay. No matter how he explains it to her all she's thinking is he's gay and he make be HIV or have AIDS and she's not gonna deal with that.
So guys on the DL will not reveil this bit of news about himself when he meets a woman he's attracted to because even thought he has sex with other men he still wants to have sex with women.
It's intresting that now a days not only do we women have to wondered about a guy we meet and attracted to we not only have to wonder things about him like.
Is he married, does he have a job, how much money does he make, does he have good credit, how many kids do he have, how many baby momma's he have, is he a dog, is he abusive does he have a police record,is he gay or on the DL
The DL ons is the one that had to be added some few yrs ago.
I have no problem asking a guy if he's on the DL. HEY if he can ask for or expect sex why shouldn't I ask him if he's on the DL? Better safe then sorry

Well IMO what would help is if people would stop spreading misinformation, that the only way a Black man could get HIV is with another man, and that's not true.
We got some foolish women that think just because their man was cheating on them with a woman and not a man, they can rest easy from AIDS.
HIV can be spread from a woman to a man, especially through anal sex, but not limited there people.
Just my "feedback, feedback" lol.
Reply to this
BS, go to the CDC site, very rare that women can transmit AIDS to a man because they do not ejaculate directly into men, like men to do women. You are making this a sexist issue and you are defending men when men are the main carriers of infection, not women. Face the facts and drop the gender bias.
Reply to this
I am not making this a sexiest issue. I have a background in the biomedical field as well. I know it's hard for a woman to transmit AIDS to a guy vaginally, but anal sex is another story. Blood breaks in the anal passageway whether it be a male or female.
Reply to this
Your correct! It does not matter what sex a person is .They can still contract and pass on the aids virus! Yes the chances may be slimmer for wmen to men transmissions .However slimmer chance does not mean that its impossible.It is still possible,just statistically it has been noted that women seem to contract the virus more easily from men. I personally have known of men who contracted it from a woman.
Reply to this
Yes, and if a male already has an STD that increases his chances of catching the virus from either sex.

I was watching 60 minutes, its rare, like you say coco, but it can happen but on 60 minutes, quoting from CDC, their has never been one case of women transmitting it to woman (lesbians). Thats how hard it is vaginally. Anal is another story (involving a man)
Reply to this
anon2 and b I too heard that! I hear that if a woman has bacterial or other infections /std its easier for her to contract hiv also.
Its shocking that there are no cases of lesbians contracting it from oneanother ,considering they still to a certain degree swap body fluid ,be it saliva or vaginal fluid!I'm guessing that anal sex is considered more risky due to higher possibility of blood vessel being ruptured or something along those lines!

Breaking it down even further, that's why "tops" get less of a viral load of HIV than "bottoms" because the former's only entrance exposed is the small penis opening. If he's infected and transmits semen into the male bottom(or woman) via ejaculation the latter usually becomes less responsive to AIDS cocktail and therefore can succumb quicker to the disease.

I think I'll follow your lead Hidoll. That will be one of the questions that I'll ask and before bedding anyone, he and I will be tested together. If he balks, he can bounce.

Good for you southern belle
If it's suggested you want him to go for a test and he see your willing to be test as well he shouldn't have a problem and he that would show him that at least she's looking out.If he acts like he doesn't want to dump him.
The sad part southern belle is the next woman he's attracted too she will give him some without even bringing up wanting to know if he's been tested or on the DL, she'll sleep with him b/c she's just as attracted to him as he is to her. That kind of woman makes me mad and she scares me.

It also doesn't mean that just because a brotha is creeping with other men he's NOT using protection. White media loves to gloss over that IMO.
Reply to this
Regardless, if he is using a rubber or not, he should be honest and what woman in her right mind wants to sleep with a dl man. All condoms are not safe, I've known girls who got pregnant when condoms were used. Too many black DL men out there and a lot of them got turned out in prison, come out, have unprotected sex with their wives or gf's. Thats why so many black women have AIDS. The story on this site DOWNLOW IN HIP HOP made a good point I never thought about. Married women are not going to ask their husbands (who could be on the DL) to wear a rubber because of trust issues, this opens her up to infection. A gf will ask a man before a wife to wear a rubber.
Reply to this
Anytime a wife comes across a pack of condoms in her hubby's pocket or wherever she happen to find them thats a SURE sign he's out creeping(even thought it's good thing he's using condoms) condoms are not 100%.
Anon2 if a wife is infected by her husband with HIV or AIDS can she sue him? I mean lets she had no idea he was DL and he's out there messing around with men and women without protection and he brings this back to her can she sue him or his partners?

Anybody can sue anybody for anything. Whether the suit is successful or not is another thing altogether.

Hidoll, you speaking too much truth in here, you and southern belle. When a man refuses to go with you to be tested, red flag! But so many women don't want to be alone, they would rather a piece of a man than no man at all and they are willing to risk their health to keep that man and he will tell her, hey, if you don't give it to me raw, I will find a woman who will, forget about a test. A lot of women will cave in to the threat. Some DL men target women with kids because they figure they will be less demanding because with the kids, he has her thinking, how you gonna get and keep another man with a ready made family?? This is very sad. Darius, I heard, refuses to get tested when women he likes questions him about the rumors with the exception of Karrine. She just happy to have a man at all.
Reply to this
anon2, I do believe that new couples should be honest and communicate with one another about their pasts, but from a straight man's point of view I find that the paranoia that ensues due to the "DL phenomenon" is driving some of us brothas crazy. I have no problem with a woman questioning me, but having preconceived notions and suspicions about me and my sexuality because I'm a black male is a problem.
Reply to this
Blame your fellow brothers for causing that suspicion, not women, if more men were honest, this would not be happening and its sad that men who are not on the DL are looked at with suspicion.
Reply to this
True, but my point women should not just place focus on the dl thing, which is only a fraction of the issue, and both partners should discuss promiscuity and their expectations period. Getting tested together is a great idea, but a woman constantly harping on the dl issue with her man with no just cause can drive him away unfortunately. I've known of a few cases.
Reply to this
While this may be true, we have to take it a little farther. Women need to hold men accountable for ALL of their actions. This would include, but not limited to, REGULAR testing for diseases, misconduct, double speak, etc. In general, we have to move beyond the sexual aspect of the relationship and look at the relationship as a whole. The sexual nature of the relationship diminishes as time goes on. It becomes a matter of, 'Do I like you as a person?' How can I trust you sexually if I can't trust the words that you speak? How can I trust you sexually if I can't trust your actions? If you are a sneak and a liar about everything else, how can I truly trust you at all? If it just a physical relationship, that's another story; however, that is high risk behavior nowadays.
There are quite a few men who resent women who ask if they are on the DL. On youtube their is a group of black men discussing this same issue and one in particular has a real attitude about this subject. If the woman is good enough to sleep with, then she is good enough to be honest with. IMHO
Nothing wrong if you like cakes and pies, but the other person has a right to know.

I think I know the youtube segment you're referring to. It's a great roundtable discussion amongst straight males and them are from the east coast if I'm not mistaken. One of them men complains that he doesn't mind being asked so much, it's the interrogation that irks him.
You brought up an excellent point. It's not just the sex that should be focused upon in relationships. There has to be a level of honesty, trust and the respect of that trust from both parties in order for the relationship to blossom. We all make mistakes, but someone who constantly cheats on their mates(be it with a woman or man)and aren't honest about it doesn't respect thier own bodies, let along their partners.

Just curious how did Omarosa act in your presence? Although I know her educational background, I find her to be smart but aloof and a little starstruck. Furthermore what does she do now? Just the celebrity party thing?
Reply to this
Shortness, she hosted a private party at The Dragonfly(I believe that's the name), and she was very down-to-earth and cool. She sat and chilled with a me and a few of my friends. It was right when she was going through her divorce, but by the way she acted you couldn't tell.
Reply to this
I always wondered if what we saw of her on tv was the real her? I also was surprised to see her on d*amn near every red carpet (at some award show or event/premiere) considering the initial season of apprentice that she appeared on was ages ago now. She mist have connected with someone whos somebody big to manage to still get invites to all the hot parties and events!
Reply to this
Well when you became arguably the first Black woman to conquer the small screen since that other Lady O, that automatically places you above other reality stars. Coincidentally, few people know that Omarosa once served as a beauty consultant for Miss Universe, which Donald owns.
Reply to this
No I wasnt at all aware of that.Is this prior to her appearance on Apprentice or after it? I think that Donald Trump being the big business man that he is ,will do anything that generates more money for his enterprise or show!
I know that she was married to a man during the Apprentice ,and even Surreal Worls but what happened?I hear her and her hubby are divorced now?Someone told me that he stated that it was because she changed since doing the show?
Reply to this
It was prior to the Apprentice. Donald and Mark Burnett realized they struck gold during taping and kept her along long enough to capture the awe and anger of millions lol. It's also rumored that because she had such a role in making the first season such a success she was contracted to appear in a set number of episodes for this one. Think about it, after 6 seasons she's still the most famous contestant.
As for her husband, he was her college sweetheart at Howard. Very intellectual brotha. He claimed that she was too caught up in fame and never even knew what her real hair looked like lol.

Trinity: Ignore "B" he has major compulsive attention issues. After I put him on blast, he's posting more trying to appear normal but he slipped up. He has gone from being in the medical field two hrs. ago to being a screenwriter. A brotha heard of career advancement, but damn, in 2 hrs. He want leave and has been evicted by staff from email and myspace. He's using equipment to get around the ban but that will soon be corrected. Whatever you do, do not give this fool your email address or you will wake up to 15-20 emails in a one hour span. If I visited a site and I wasn't welcomed and I had been banned, I would bounce, peace out. He doesn't have sense enough to "get it," or he's hopelessly addicted to PR. Ignore him.

I don't believe that he is attempting to represent Lesbians. He is attempting to give important information. That within itself is commendable and needed.
The African-American LGBT, in general, needs to promote awareness and prevention more. The African American community in general tends to be more in denial of HIV/AIDS and that is why it is running rampant in our community. There has been a shift with this disease and we are the ones being hurt. (There are still non-blacks who contract this disease, but not at the alarming rate that it is killing us.)
Personally, I tend to get very upset when I hear of 15 & 16 years olds being buried due to this epidemic. They haven't even begun to live their lives and now they are gone.
We can prevent a lot of this if we were to speak up and get educated about the facts.
I also do not understand why we continue to produce crack addicts due to the knowledge and information that we have....but that is another story.

Before I forget, for those who still presume that a man can only sexually contract HIV from another man I strongly urge you to view the powerful Black indpendent film One Week by Kenny Young.
Shot on location in Chicago, the critically acclaimed film focuses upon a man, who's about to be married on one week, finding his world turned upside down when one of his former partners put him on a partner's notification list for HIV. The story takes you on a journey as he searches for the person he thinks may have exposed him to the virus, but I can tell you there's no dl refernces at all. In fact, according to Young it was inspired by true events. Check it out.
Reply to this
Young also just released the slapstick comedy Red Rum, co-starring Jennifer Lewis & Jill Marie Jones from the show Girlfriends.
Reply to this
That film is a fictional story (one week) and does not depict real life. Go to CDC for real life. Just because you are a man, don't brush off that men are indeed the carriers of HIV and infect women wayyyyy more at alarming rates than the opposite. Your misinformation takes away from the real message because you are so busy defending your gender instead of checking the real stats on CDC. Get a clue. And that movie cannot be critically acclaimed, the acting lighting were terrible.
Reply to this
Anon2: I agree with everything you have said. One week was make believe. Just like I did a story about a HIV female assassin infecting enemies of the state. During research I too discovered that it is extremely rare for a woman to transmit AIDS to a man, and I do a lot of research for my downlow stories. You will have people acting as if you are male bashing and protecting their gender instead of facing the facts. I agree with everything you have said, you are one of the most reasonable and truthful voices along with Bingo, Shortness and Cocolatte on this subject in this thread. You are also right about misinformation, which is dangerous because if a young lady reads that a man can't really infect you as much as you think, even if he is DL, that can possible cause her-her life because the seriousness of the situation is downplayed. Keep preaching the truth and nothing but the truth. Truthful information is a powerful thing and shout out to Spymaster.
Reply to this
Get a clue? Why such hostility? Excuse me, but it seems like you are terribly bitter about something. I'm well aware of the "statistics."
If you reread my previous posts you'll see as others do that I'm not spreading misinformation and I'm not protecting my gender. I never once said the dl thing doesn't exist, I simply rebutted the notion that women can't give it to men and only a dl man can give it to a woman(sexually).
As for the movie, Kenny told me himself that it was inspired by true events. If you don't like it, that's your opinion.

Coco, when I entered the room, I told the guy I had not read his chart that I wanted to say good morning first. We spoke for a few minutes and I left the room. When I returned with his AM meds and questioned him about the accuracy of the dosages ( his home meds)he said the dosage was correct and resumed flirting. That's why I was disgusted. The reason that I knew he was a DL brotha is because of his attitude and facility that houses a number of AIDs patients. The first thing that gay men will say is, "I'm gay and that's how I got the disease." Others will say up front that they were drug users, they'd gotten bad blood transfusions...etc. Dl men will always lie and say they got it from some hoe or they will not tell you at all. Even when the man has gotten it from a women he's torn up about it..... just think about it, this is something that will eventually kill you. That is how I knew. My heart goes out to the residents in that facility because their relatives and friends often abandon them. I see the hopelessness and the horrible effects of the disease. It's something that know human being should have to endure. Certainly not a faithful wife and mother. The names of sex offenders are published to protect the innocent,yet a man can willingly infect women without reprocussion. To add to this madness is if these men do not take the medications correctly the strain becomes stronger and harder to treat. The women that they infect are much more likely to die and often times they are in the late stages before they experience any symptoms. There are a lot of things that we can debate B, unfortunately this is not one of them.

Wow, that is so scary and sad. Thanks for sharing your story. And you are right, they can willingly infect women without reprecussion.

I don't know if I'm SAD,MAD or DISGUSTED that we have come this far in what we know about AIDS/HIV and there are still people out there who will open his or her mouth and legs for oral sex. But will not open that same mouth to ask the person to go together to get tested but WILL go together driving pass a number of stores to spend money to check into a hotel or motel and will not stop by one of those many stores they drove pass to buy condoms b/c they're too embarrassed to buy them.
Because either they're too horny and caught up in the moment,too gullible because if they go into a store to buy condoms people will know why they're buying them or just plain old dumb to think I MAY REGRET THIS LATER. Common sense is free, HIV/AIDS is deadly and costly.
AIDS became known back in the 80's (I think)and when that happen people were scared as hell bcause it was a disease that no one knew anything about even the world greatest scientist and doctors were scratching they're heads trying to figure out this deadly diease.
And everyone became aware of ways to contract AIDS/HIV and people today are still having unprotected sex.
In the news a few yrs ago a woman was about to be raped and even though she was scared as hell she still had the common sense to say to the guy if your gonna do this could u please wear a condom. Now this may have made it hard for the police to find whomever this guy or maybe prove she was really raped she was more concern and didn't want to risk contracting AIDS or HIV
Now if this woman who was about to have one of the most horrible exprience anybody can have happen to them can still ask this rapist to wear a condom why can't two people who are caught up in lust can't do the same?
Reply to this
Southern Belle he was flirting with you knowing you know he's a AIDS patients?
Thats just goes to show you that had you met that guy anywhere else he would have been flirting you and expecting to score knowing he's a deadly risk. And I bet u dollars to donuts when he out and about he's flirting with other women and maybe even have bedded a few and still never mention his an AIDS patient.
My heart goes out to the mothers,wives and anyone else who contracts AIDS/HIV from someone they love dearly and had to idea or reason to think they're mates were out having unprotected sex.
It breaks my heart when someone contracts the disease from a blood transfusing.
Thats why the smart thing to do if you or a family member needs to have surgery to ask the Dr to take blood from you a week or two before the surgery and store it in case too much blood is lost during the surgery and they need to replace your blood they can replace it with your own blood and not risk using someone else.
