Over the past few years, there has been a rash of marriages in black Hollywood. Recently, quicky marriages have become the rage.
Despite his untold dedication to his wife. We have received reports that a newly married husband has been stepping out on his wife with a variety of call girls.
Our cheating hubby has rented suites stocked with weed and Dom. He loves to sexually entertain two women at a time. His favorite destination for call girl hookups is in Las Vegas.
When he arrives in Las Vegas, sometimes, escorts are waiting for him in his limo and a lot of hanky panky goes on enroute to his hotel suite.
His wife remains clueless as he runs up a secretive tab for high end escorts.
This has become an addiction for him. He tells his wife he has to go out of town on business when he's really meeting up with ladies of the evening.
The wife has allegedly been telling friends that their sex life had died down since their marriage because her husband is such a workaholic but the real reason is: He's stepping out on her. Reply to this

Yep, Nick has his residuals as well as upcoming flicks already in the can!
Drumline is still paying the kid whenever it hits TBS, HBO or any other broadcast. NOt really sure what he made off of Wildin' Out, but remember; as he was the executive producer, even MTV's stingy asses have to pay up for the reruns...
Plus, he still has the teen appeal, so look for his Nickelodeon exposure to continue to reap benefits as the tweens get older.

How many truly wealthy people do you see spending 1-2 million on a party that is going to last one night on the regular like Diddy just to impress others? I think that this is sheer stupidity. How about buying some property with that money? Maybe sock a little more money away in the trust funds of your children?

I'm jumping in with Usher also. The "untold dedication to his wife" is what did it for me. Bey & Jay still don't acknowledge their status publicly, but Ursher was shutting down fan blogs this time last year for blasting his wife. To quote him, "you got it, you got it bad!" Also, the workaholic fits because he's been working on this new album for a while and right after they married, was when the album was supposed to originally drop so there was prob a lot of "meetings" he had to attend.

That's not love but manipulation to get the cash and lifestyle. Don't get me wrong, I'm not hating by any means. As a matter of fact, I understand that in the history of mankind and marriage, love and romance is a relatively novel concept for a reasoning to get hitched.

Larry Johnson is engaged, not married. There are not many black marriages. Usher came to mind. Damon Dash has been married for a couple years. Reply to this
Just curious... One of these women he's creeping with (if it's Ush Raymond), wouldn't happen to be Rozanda "Chilli" Thomas would it? Okay, I kid, I kid. But still, it would be funny.... The irony.

Untold dedication can have two meanings. First, it can mean untold as in not revealed, second, it can mean untold as in inexpressible.

And I agree... confronting the woman is not a good look. Confront the man for entertaining it.
But maybe this is a case of an aggressive woman pushing up on Jay and Jay was (or was at least pretending like) he wasn't interested. Then maybe step to the woman. I've seen some pretty aggressive women who will stop at nothing to engage in conversation to pull someone else's man. And seeing as how he has all this money and visibility, that makes him even more attractive to some women and they "gotta have it."
But even then, the man should be smart enough to put 50 feet between himself and the aggressor; not just stand there. So I can't really call it. Reply to this

If it in fact turns out to be Nick and Mariah would we even be shocked? Cause after all their farce of a marriage seems so fake.

Why u had to put the laxatives out there? I'm about to lose MY bowels just reading that! But seriously, I think the consensus is that these two are so busy 'promoting' their marriage like their latest business venture it's no wonder people are cynical. And between the magazine photo shoots, television circuits and various interviews when will they start enjoying their "marriage?" I mean this isn't like previously scheduled obligations (like Jay's tour)these two caricatures are initiating this frenzy. Besides I thought the IN thing now is those couples that are doing the damn thing for real are keeping it on the low and putting extra effort to keep the media out of their relationship. They didn't get the memo?! or is this just Myra's prediction coming to fruition regarding Terrance Dean's book? Hmmmm. Reply to this

Re: Front Page- So Janet is going out on Tour again, eh? I wonder how sales will be, considering that "Discipline" and "20 Y.O." were absolute flops? I went to see Janet in 2001, and while it was entertaining, it was a retread of her 1997 tour...I hope she doesn't do that this time. I like Janet, I would hate to see her performing at State Fairs instead of arenas if sales are poor.

I believe Kelly is learning and has taken a turn to distance her self from the robotic state that she dwelled in for so long. Lately she has no said anything much about Beyonce or the Knowles camp. She is focusing on her career trying to promote her re-release of Ms. Kelly. She is in the studio working on a new album. She is also working with a new batch of producers and is not calling Bey to listen to her tracks for approval. She is trying to find her own way and hopefully she will begin to surround herself with a team that caters to her. You can be as talented as Whitney Houston but with the wrong team even the best career will stall or fall short. She is beginning to listen to outside people advice. The immense failure of Miss Kelly had to prove to her where she stands on Music Worlds list of priorities. Lets hope her eyes keep opening to forge better result in her future endeavors.

Hi Fam, Let's be real about this acting thing. Each time an actor gets a role, it is more practice than before. So, I would like to think that Kelly has gotten better since Seat Filler, that was so long ago. She has been cast in the upcoming movie Mama I Want To Sing, with Ciara and Lynn Whitfield. I felt that Kelly should have the lead role instead of Ciara, especially since Kelly is a much better singer. But the producers went with who was hotter. There will need to either be a lot of editing and studio dubbing on Ciara's voice or a damn voice-over artist for the singing. But I would think that Kelly will be better in this role than she was in Seat Filler, that was years ago. Let's just face it, Will Smith was better in I Am Legend than he was in 6 Degrees of Separation, so why shouldnt Kelly be better now also.
I, too am glad to see some decent acting come out of Jennifer Hudson, as I would be out of Kelly as well. Reply to this

Hi Mrs. Blessed,I agree with your statements up to comparing 6 degrees to I am in Legend. Will Smith has been a great actor from Day 1 and those 2 rules are polar opposites. What has improved for Will is his RANGE. The rule in I am Legend showed a lot of emotional depth whereas 6 degrees had a character who was really 1 dimensional.
I think overall the roles for any black female are limited so you are right they will constantly lose to each other. I wish we would start more production companies and fund our own stories. Whatever happened to Jada producing The Coldest Winter Ever? I was looking forward to that for sure. Reply to this

LinaB, Will has had time to take acting classes, which he admitted to on an episode of "Inside The Actors Studio". Will couldnt act on Fresh Prince, and he stated no one asked him if he could act. That is the comparison for both actors. Will had 5 years on Fresh Prince prior to 6 Degrees, that in itself was practice for him. Kelly has not had that, but I would still like to think that each time she takes on a role, she will get better. Compare 5 years on the Fresh Prince, when he stated he was memorizing other casts lines in order to find his place in the scene, to Seat Filler. Even if 6 Degrees was 1 dimensional, he had 5 years of constant consistent practice on Fresh Prince, there is a comparison between the two.
I do believe you are correct in that more african americans should produce more films, but the challenge with that is, most of them want to crossover and dont want to have an all black cast. Beyonce did what she was supposed to do in Executive Producing Cadillac Records to ensure a lead role. More actors should do the same. I was looking forward to The Coldest Winter Ever also, but Will came along and convinced Jada that she needed to do more crossover work, if you noticed she hasnt done anymore Bamboozled or Jason's Lyric type movies with all black casts, she had to do the movie with Tom Cruise and the one with Don Cheadle & Adam Sandler.

If you notice, Ciara sings all fast songs, just like J-Lo, the real test is the ability to belt out a slow ballad, which neither one of them can do. And I sounded really good on Ciara's CD,but it was apparent that she could not sing. I also got a copy of one of J-Lo's CDs, there was an old classic that she tried to remake, cant remember the name of it, but if I was the legend that made that song, I wouldve slapped her for insulting her and her fans with that ish.

I don't necessarily agree that the things out there about Tameka are solely because of her looks. But trust, I clearly understand the point that you are making. Tameka doesn't fit 'trophy'. How many times have 'we' been shocked to hear that the Halle Berry's, Mariah Carey's, Chante Moore's etc. have been dogged by men? It's because they are the standard of beauty for many Blacks. It's 2008 and we still don't want to be real about our own prejudice and bias when it comes to complexion. We can call THEM out on it but when it's one of US it's trivialized and dismissed. It shouldn't be that way and we've made strides but the light skin/dark skin friction is alive and well. We can say the white man set the blueprint but we keep the mass production going.

Hello French~ Thanks for the shout out...and to the rest of the PR Peeps~ I hope everyone had a good hump day. I don't think people have a problem with Tameka's look as much as she likes to state that they do. From the outside it appears that she just up and bounced from her husband leaving her other children behind. There has yet to be an interview where she talks about her other children. In one interview I can remember her being quoted as saying she didn't want any girls because she doesn't like them. What's sad about that statement is that I believe she has a daughter. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I think it is easier for her to say its because people think I'm plain or dark that folks don't like me. If you make it a light skin vs dark skin issue then its easier for her to get sympathy and it works because it is so divisive.
When folks think of all the women he could have married. Not many people would have thought it would be an older woman with 3 kids and a husband already regardless of how she looks. Reply to this

That seems true for Latonya, I think people have always felt that her and Samuel complement each other. I have never felt that either one was more attractive than the other or wonder how they got together. They are equally attractive. Now I beg to differ with Pauletta I do recall people saying that she was not attractive enough to be with Denzel. I think that people have accepted her more now then they did back in the 90's. People were did not go as far as they did with Tameka but I think that is only because this is a different time. People love Oprah and she can clean-up really well but I will never forget an episode of her show where they showed what she does to get ready for the show. Let's just say without her hair done and make-up Oprah looks dead on "Sophia"...Not Sophia with "Buster" but "Sophia" after the sheriff and the town folk jumped her. Reply to this

I respect everyone's viewpoint but the mention of Pauletta Washington really reinforces my original point. I cannot count how many times I have read negative comments about Pauletta's appearance, her photos, his cheating etc. And with the exception of this blog (this blog really is the only one where the posters don't disrespect the celebs and I appreciate that environment), posters tend to disregard Pauletta and almost excuse Denzel's cheating. Nobody says "his wife is soooooooo beautiful...there is no way he is cheating..." but instead they almost seem to think aloud "well--look at his wife--I understand..I love you Denzel. It is a disregard for her because she doesn't fit the mold.
I'm not saying that Tameka doesn't have a "stank" attitude. She may indeed. But we read about other people with "stank attitudes" all the time and we don't decide that she must be the cause of the man's cheating.
Men (and women) cheat because they WANT to and because their partner lets them get away with it. Jay Z was a player before he met Beyonce and unless something has happened to affirmatively change that--he is a player still.
He is no less likely to play on her than Usher is on Tameka and the facts of this BI tend to indicate Beyonce and Jay more because of the "recent rash of celeb marriages" and "quickie marriages". I do not recall Usher and Tameka's marriage being a quickie. People were up in arms about it for months before it happened. Reply to this

Excerpt.. Though forced to admit the alleged victim won't testify on its behalf, the prosecution passionately outlined a case based on a 27-minute tape in which authorities say the Grammy winner engages in a variety of sexual acts with a girl as young as 13.
Kelly's attorneys—who have spent years denouncing the tape and fighting to keep a jury from seeing it—countered the prosecution's allegations with a stunning embrace of the video. In a dramatic opening that matched the prosecution's passion line for line, they said the same VHS tape that spurred a 14-count indictment will ultimately set Kelly free.
A mole on Kelly's back, they said, will prove he's not the man in the video.
"Can they prove Robert Kelly made this tape?" attorney Sam Adam Jr. said in a booming, indignant voice. "They can't because it's not him."
Before the screening, the prosecution warned jurors that the scenes would be graphic.
"You will see that child perform acts you've never seen before," Boliker said. "Everything was written, directed and choreographed by Robert Kelly."
The tape begins with a man handing the female participant money as a commercial for a home refinancing company plays in the background. At his instruction, the female dances for him while "Everybody" by the Backstreet Boys plays on the room's sound system.
At times, he can be heard telling her to "dance faster, baby," before instructing her to urinate for the camera. The female often refers to him as "Daddy" while the two engage in dirty talk.
The two pause briefly when a Spice Girls song comes on the radio and the man stops to change the station. The video ends with the man urinating and finishing the sex act.
The poorly lit video makes it difficult to distinguish any birthmarks or moles on the man's back when played in real time. At one point, the man turns his entire back to the camera, and he does not appear to have a mole. Reply to this

IMHO: for all those who keep saying Jay does not speak on his dedication to Beyonce, you are way off the mark. JayZ has written whole songs about Beyonce and she has done the same. Their dedication is not untold, they just refuse to let the press in all the way. It is obvious that they were in a long term serious relationship and they did not have a quickie marriage. They planned all the details very last minute but I am pretty sure close friends and family knew the date. They rushed all the things that tips the press off, not the wedding itself. That was a smart move, because it is always someone in the florist, caterer, photographers staff that blabs before hand for money. Reply to this

Hey! Does anyone remember when the Russ Parr morning show had people calling in to tell of their sexcapades with celebrities? This was a few years ago but the names that caught my attention then were Allen Iverson, Monica and Jay-Z. The woman who called in about Jay-Z gave a vivid description and when they asked what year did it happen, I think she said 2002 or 2003. Parr mentioned that JayZ was already involved with Beyonce at the time and the caller said, "I know."

Nick is still fascinated and living out his schoolboy fantasy of having Mariah Carey as his wife. The BI merely mentions quickie marraiges. It doesn't say that the BI couple were a quickie marraige.

NICK Cannon learned the meaning of "If you don't pay, you got no say" this weekend. Mariah Carey's new husband was trying to have a boys' weekend at Saturday's opening of the MGM Grand at Foxwoods with pals Sean Combs and Quincy Jones when he got a call from Carey.

Actually, I have a certain level of respect for him for not naming names. I have to respect the fact that as he stated, this book was about his life and his story. Simply because he is out doesnt mean he needs to disrupt other folks lives by outting them. Although, we may be able to make educated and uneducated guesses about who they are, neither him nor them have to acknowledge them, thereby keeping the secret of each of them. If he had named names, he wouldve been considered an azzhole, just like Karrine, but instead he is still to be respected for respecting the private lives of others. My hat is off to him for sharing HIS story with us and not necessarily sharing the stories of others. I keep reading on this blog that so many are disappointed in his book because he didnt name names and some wish they hadnt spent their money for the book, etc. and truthbetold, the nosey side of me wishes he had named names also, but the practical, compassionate, understanding side of me says I understand why he didnt, it was a very good reason and I am bynomeans disappointed in him or his book.

Hey Sheknows & Cocoalatte Your both welcome for the recipes anytime
Sheknows thank you, I'm a very down to earth person I was raised that way.
Sometimes TOO down to earth
Girls Red Velvet Cake,German Chocolate,Sour Cream Pound and Leomon Cake are my favorite cakes.
I love to bake and whenever I bake a cake for someone I LOVE to go out of my way to do it I have to be the only one in my kitchen,and I refuse to bake a cake from a box,it has to be from scratch. My mom is the same way (that must be where I get it)
Listen if you ladies bake the cake and the chicken Spagetti let me know how it turned out
Remember to shift the sugar and the flour twice or three times. It can make a difference Reply to this

Say it again out that late is nothing but trouble waiting to pop off! I had a girlfriend make all kinds of comments because I headed for home at 11ish one girls night. We had been out since 7:00pm. That was long enough to eat, have drinks, chat and dance a few. I told her it is about respect not controlling each other. When I walk out the door, I mention who. what, when and how long I will be gone. He does the same. Too me, midnite is crossing over to out all night. He dsnt do it and neither do I, therefore he has never had to call me and vice versa. Every couple has to find their rhythm but if yu have to be reminded to come home, then you got some issues!

Hey LinaB, I like that dynamic. One of my closest friends is married and whenever we go out and I know it's something that will have us home late, I always grill her before we go to make sure it's still cool. I'm very respectful of the fact that although I'm footloose and fancy free, she can't keep the same hours I do like we did before she got married. Reply to this

I don't always agree. My husband and I have very different interests and friends and we often stay out late if we ever decide to go out without each other. I made the mistake of not hearing my phone ringing and I got an earful from him, more because he was worried that something happened to me. I don't do the grilling thing because it immediately says that I don't trust him. His last woman cheated on him something awful, and he tried grilling me on stuff until I told him that is the best way for me to walk out of the door. I think trust is the key-- you know when you can't trust someone and you know when someone is lying to you, even if you don't want to believe it. If someone wants to cheat, they will do it no matter if it is 3 in the afternoon or 3 in the morning. Reply to this

To be honest, we don't really go out without each other and even when we do go out together, we are home at a sensible hour. More to do with our ages (30 & 38) and the fact that since you can drink at 18 here, bars and clubs are full of the very young and it holds no appeal any more.

My best friend is single and I am married, she could not be my best friend if she didnt understand and respect the fact that I respect my husband, marriage and kids. If I go out without my husband, I wont do it two nights in a row. I dont have misunderstandings with men, even the NFL, NBA players etc. know what time it is. If we have a misunderstanding, it is because they wanted to have one. My best friend respects that and our other friends would like me to flirt more so that they can get more free stuff, I can buy what I want even though I dont have to. So those friends dont hang with us too much.
Consequently, I had a friend whose husband had a low self-esteem, and I knew it. The first thing I said to her was, if he ever felt uncomfortable about us being friends, the friendship was over. I was not there to cause confusion in anyone's home, and I know that sometimes its difficult for a man to watch his wife become friends with someone who has it together and her husband provides well and he doesnt. With that said, he started to dislike me and actually left her because I came over one evening to bring her a T.D. Jakes video to watch because she was depressed. At that moment, I gave her all of the money that I had in my pocket and assured her, I would talke to him, but when he comes back home, our friendship would be no more. Needlesstosay, he came back home and apologized, we remained friends only for a short while after that. Because he only liked me being friends with her, if I was helping them buy grocery, etc. I will help a woman with kids, but I refuse to help support a woman with kids and a man. My thought was, if he had been okay with me, we couldve remained friends, but he was not gonna dislike me and freeload off of me, hell no! I feel bad now, because I heard she has had a nervous breakdown. Reply to this

Actually, married couples do find it easier to hang with other married couples, but sometimes the individuals in the marriage need separate time from each other in order to keep things fresh and new. As a married woman with a single best female friend, I never wouldve imagined being best friends with her because she is single. But as other friends fell off because of loyalty, etc. she was the one that remained true and never changed. She never mistook my kindness for weakness and could appreciate my positive attitude. I didnt find out until later that she was a pessimist and had never seen anything positively until she met me. But it is working so far because she respects my marital status and I dont judge her single status. Reply to this

I was single for a many years (had fun too).. I always had respect for my friend and her relationship which were frequent. I suggested that she should take time off from jumping in and out of relationships because she keeps choosing the same type of man. Well, wasted breath anyway she is in a relationship again and I respect her commitment. She wanted me to visit her last summer (her boyfriend lives in her house) I told her sure but I would stay in a hotel. After deep thought I changed my mind and stopped off to see her for lunch while passing through town going on vacation. I always respect.
She came to my city this weekend for her B-Day (things aren't going well with her relationship). I did not know she was coming to town until she called me. I was out with my BF when she called. She asked could I pick her up and drop her off somewhere. My BF is very laid back and understanding so he agreed because he knows we have been friends for a long time. We picked her up and she dropped her off. She called me upset that I did not leave him to hang out with her. The next day I had plans with my niece to take her to zootopia (all day event) I told her when I am finished I will meet you at your party venue. When I reached the city it was 1:30am I dropped my niece off. My BF called and of course we met up and went to the venue. She was upset and looked distressed. My BF did not even stay at the same table he went downstairs to the dance floor. She wanted to leave and I told her I don't know what your problem is but I have always supported your relationships. I understand I have always been available to hang and party even when you weren't I always respected your decision to leave early and I always took you home when you left. If you have a problem with my HEALTHY relationship then that’s your problem. If your Fiancé did not want to spend your birthday with you that’s your problem. I did not know you were coming to town and My BF and I had plans already after the zootopia was over. I told her respect my relationship or we can no longer be friends. People can be funny. Sometimes I think its jealousy because their relationship is not working or because they are alone. I never had a problem with being single because I it was my choice not to date seriously. I always respected peoples boundries. I try not to go out with my friends and their BF unless its a special event. Not being funny but their boyfriends always try to hit on me. I always said something but now I am wondering do you tell your friend about the behavior. I think telling has put a strain on some relationships. Reply to this

Candi, Misery loves company. And your friend is just wrong to suggest that you upset your relationship for her, because truthbetold, when your relationship isnt working and hers is, she wont be breaking her dates to console you.
I had a best friend years ago, she was married and my husband and I were engaged. At the time, she made more money than me. She asked me to go shopping with her, but I didnt want to to. My husband, then fiance at the time, found out I wasnt going and forced me to go. He said he wasnt gonna have her thinking she had something on me. Hell, I've never cared what others thought of me as long as I felt good about me. But anyways, he gave me 4 credit cards and said he wanted me to go. I went but told her that he had given me a $1000 limit. She actually said, and he probably thinks he has done something by giving you that. (I later found out, I really didnt have a limit, he was just testing me to see if I was a gold digger). We went shopping and she bought one blouse, and her husband had given her $50, asked for something that cost $10 and wanted his change back. My husband already knew, there is never any change and he wouldnt be asking for it either. All of her comments after that were negative and she refused to be my matron of honor when we got married. I always tell my kids that people can't help how they feel and why they feel that way. Envy and Jealousy are strong emotions. But I can meet anyone where they are and still be cool with them.
I probably wouldnt tell my friend that her man hit on me unless he keeps it up, but after I tell his ass what he needs to hear, I promise, he wont want to do it again. I've been there before, and play no games when it comes to loyalty. I dont have misunderstandings such as that. Reply to this

I knew then she was too negative for me. I was joking the next morning at work that I had put it on my husband so good the night before that I woke up the next morning and there were 5 $100 bills on the dresser. It sounded funny when I said it and me and the other friend were laughing, but that particular friend had an attitude and said, "ugh, he paid you for sex." Hell, my thought was, better me than somebody else. The other friend that was laughing has always been positive and her man has never been faithful and never married her, but she has always been happy for me. Reply to this

Ok since u went there, I must share this! I had been married 2 mnths when my husband frat brother was to have his bachelor party at a strip club. We agreed to have a co-ed bridal shower but no bachelor/bachlorette party since we were abstaining! So my husband asks me if he could go which was weird cause we dnt ask permission? So I said, do u not want to go and he said he wanted to go but on the flip side wldnt want me to go see male strippers so he knw it was wrong to want to go. I told him as a married woman I wldnt go see male strippers but I wnt stop him from going to celebrate with his boys. ( internally I knew this was a big test for our marriage). He called his boy and said man I will meet you all for drinks on me and we can play pool, bring your ladies and then Im out. I was so proud, well that night, we had the stip club at the house and yes I earned tips and did Xtra in the VIP room .

I didnt tell Lisa that Lana and Rick are already having marital problems (he been caught cheating w/another person). I told Lisa to cuss Rick out harshly and threaten to tell. Lisa wanted me to tell Lana. I did not tell Lana because the worst has happened and she will not leave Rick, so y tell her more?

Thank you all for your honest answers. I was wishing that none of what you all discussed was the case. I was hoping that because I was always available and the status of that changed could be summed up to shock and a change. I always said I don't want a relationship nor do I want to get married (still feel the same about marriage). Maybe my being in a relationship was different and opposite of what I said in the past. I am taking blame aren't I... I do have to distance myself from her to gain respect.

Will, Latifah, and LL had the great advantage of being on a weekly show for several years so they were able to really polish their acting chops so they were able to move into movies almost seamlessly.

I believe the point the original poster was trying to make is that Beyonce is in fact a horrid actress, but was mad because she did not get an Oscar, or in the words of Kelly "she was robbed". She is clueless to the fact that she needs much much much MUCH more practice and believes that because she wants an Oscar she should get it.

I was reading another site about a comment Tina Turner made and it pissed me off. She said something to the effect that Bey copied her and she will never be Rock n Roll. I thought be was an R&B artist who did Pop music. Leave the girl alone. That has to hurt Bey’s feelings because an Icon made that comment. Ummm I wonder how TT would have felt if Bey did not hold back during that awards show.

All comments made here are valid ones, what can i say? was right when she said money does not erase your flaws because it doesn't. Beyonce is not a supertalent, she can sing and dance and should leave it at that.
She is stealing acting roles from real actresses just because of name recognition and beauty, not because of her acting skills. From what I've seen, her acting is not of that calibre, she needs a whole bunch of acting and diction classes to snag an award. She's already typecast by playing singers. Reply to this

Good Morning PR Fam, this is OT but does anyone get the feeling that Mariah married Nick Cannon because she wanted the media to back up off of her "friendship" with Da Brat. This whole smoke screen sham of a marriage is just a major cover-up for Mariah. The media and everyone else is focussed on her and Nick when her "real" is in the background. Just a thought?

Oddly, Mariah had just given an interview a few weeks before this sham marriage stating that she didn't want any kids - and that she felt that because of her life and things that happened to her -- she didn't want to be a mother and motherhood just wasn't for her. That's why this whole thing is strange. You saw the Da Brat more with her than you saw her with Nick Cannon. Mariah comes from a fairy tale made-up background - she learned from the master Tommy Mottola - so she wouldn't mind spending 4 million just to hide her real relationship. She just better hope Da Brat don't get drunk and bust Nick Cannon upside his head with a beer bottle. LOL! Reply to this

Hi Guys, I found this on another site. Could this be some back up to the Mariah and Nick guess?
“Mariah Carey’s new husband was trying to have a boys’ weekend at Saturday’s opening of the MGM Grand at Foxwoods with pals Sean Combs and Quincy Jones when he got a call from Carey. ‘He was summoned home by her at 1 in the morning,’ a source said. ‘He didn’t look happy about it.’”

My son jokes all the time and we saw Cover. He has a friend that is an actor, that most people know he is either gay or bi-sexual but he keeps telling my son, he isnt either but loves women. First the guy called my son at 10 P.M. and asked if he wanted to go have a glass of wine, my son told me he wasnt going because that sounded like a date. Then the guy called him and asked him to see a horror movie with him at midnight, my son was like, although thats the best time to see a horror movie, it wont be with him. Then he invited my son to a party, my son said he couldnt go because there might be a lot of dust at the party. LMAO. A group of them went to a dinner theater to support a friend of ours and the guy was there, among other gay guys, my son called me while he was there to say, "There is a lot of dust in the air in this dinner theater." All I could do is holler. My son isnt homophobic, but damned if that isnt the catch-phrase now, for DL jokes. But he and the guy had a business lunch yesterday, and it went well.LMAO Reply to this

Girl, we came in late for a session for filmmakers at the film festival and didnt really know the filmmkers that were on the panel. We just saw 3 white guys talking about how they work together to help each other with their films. We had no idea their film was about gay gangbangers. Well, one of them saw my son and told him that he had a "scene" for him. Not a role, but a scene. My son looked at me and asked if I saw any dust in the air. LMAO. My answer was yes, then we found out he found my son attractive. He told us he uses straight guys all the time and one guy's wife found it sexy to see her husband kissing a man. I had to assure him that I wouldnt find it sexy to see my son kissing a man at all. So if he had any straight roles or know of any filmmakers with straight roles, holla. However, he will do the insinuation of gay, but not kissing, etc. (i.e. Dancing Darrin and Evan Ross in Life Support. they were gay but had no gay scenes) Reply to this

It was a mixed reaction. (Keep in mind I've only asked a handful of people.) But there was the reaction of an immediate no, that's too suspect and what men play Uno late at night. Spades gets a pass though. But then I also got the reaction from a couple of people that maybe this dude had the "it's lonely at the top" feeling and just didn't like being alone. Another person said that they initially took as when you're really keyed up after a good party and you still want to do something to come down, like go to a diner/Waffle House or in this case play cards. What was the most surprising to me was that my friends who tend to be the most suspicious and on guard were the ones that were giving dude the benefit of the doubt, but the friend I just knew any inuendo would fly over her head gave me an immediate hell no!

Has anyone seen the pictures of NicAriah at the amusement park. Nic closed the park down for about 100 of "his" friends (I don't think Ariah has any "true" friends). It was more staged than the beach pictures. Can you imagine her on a roller coaster with those stripe socks on or the stripe sock boots, that plaid skirt and shirt for a 2 year old on screaming Touch My Body? I hope this doesn't stay in my head all day.
Watched DL Chron and I'm about to quickly send it to one of the readers. What a waste IMO. Everything was bad. Cover is going in the library, it will not be shared unless you come to the crib. Actors/tress were better than norm. Script well written.

Hi CoCo.. I saw Janet in concert and she is awesome. She uses a lot of theatrics and dances continuously. I loved her show and will try to attend this tour when it comes to my city.
Madonna has a sexually charged show but still good none the less. She dances and she is quite funny while performing. She has a lot of energy. I would like to see her show again too.
CoCo you are correct when you state that record sales are at an all time low. I don't think record sales will increase or ever reach the heights they did before digital down loading. The industry has to start challenging some of the laws that prevent them from coding internet releases or simply create a site like I-Tunes and charge higher prices for downloads. Do not allow other sites to album or singles unless the site charges in accordance to the music company guidelines.
The music industry helps maintain the economy like all other industries. First America needs to stop outsourcing every factory job to other countries. Last year toy companies took a major hit during the peek season for sales due to lead found in imported products. Things need to change and fast. I read on another site that the homeless rate has increase and in several states parking lots have been set up as makeshift campsites for homeless people living in their cars. This is sad and not a good look for the US. I do understand there are more variables to the state of the economy but something has to give for the American citizens. Reply to this

Add to that the fact if you are intellectually challenging you get ostracized from the main click. If you don't agree with a click you get ostracized. If you have a disagreement with one person from the click you are ostracized. If you comment is taken the wrong way due to comprehension you’re ostracized. I see one person said hello to another that had a disagreement and the person did not respond. Childish to say the least.

Sad But True good afternoon I don't want you to feel like you are being ignored. Speaking personally, I'm in and out of the site but I have some time vested. I think a lot of times "we" do not get a chance to go back and read our comments/responses etc. When this board gets real hot it's hard to even find the last comment that you made. Some people choose not to respond to a comment because it may be read in a manner that was not intended. So it's easier to "move on". Regarding the "click", if you feel people are being clickish let them click on. I'm a click by myself, nobody will join me, hell, I wouldn't join me. Half the time I'm just talkin to myself anyway. SBT don't even worry about it. Whether you want it or not here's a hug from Grandma and I know you felt it.

I'd like to butt-in (since that some times is a problem on this open board), but I feel like I most point out that the clique that you sense may be because some of us have been posting since the comment section opened up and some may be more familiar with certain handles. I, for one, have been posting comments since day one of the comment section. I don't feel like I'm in a clique, but I have to admit that some handles and comments I have seen for quite some time, I feel like I know the way they type, and feel at ease with it. If that's a clique, so be it.
And like Grandma said, folks are in and out of this board all day and it's easy to scan the comments and miss one of your own comments and the possible responses under it. So, personally, if I missed someone's response to me, I apologize.
And just like in any other conversation in life, some times all that could be said on the subject is said and it's time to move on.

Don't remember her name, but she was the light-skinned exec working for Puff on the very first season of Making Da Band. She jumped ship and went to DefJam shortly after. Anyway, my friend was saying that this chick was ALWAYS in Jay's office and it was clear she was not in there working all the time. And since I had heard that this chick rose up in the industry on her back, I wasn't too shocked. He also said they made sure never to leave Rhianna alone with LA Reid.

Hi Madison et al, I was hoping that Jay-Z was one of the good guys that doesn't cheat on his woman. I don't get it. I try and tell some of my friends that it doesn't matter how pretty you are or how nice of a body you have, some men will cheat no matter what. There are some men who would say they would never cheat if Beyonce was their woman but I don't think it matters who the woman is. A man can get bored and want to cheat on the most beautiful woman in the world if he chooses to.
Did Blu ever have a relationship with Jay-Z or was she just pursuing him? I think I read somewhere that he slept with Mya and Blu. I can give him credit for keeping his dirt mostly underwraps. Even before he got with Beyonce, he didn't put his relationship business out there. You're right, he's not the most attractive man in the world but I must admit, there is something about the way he carries himself that makes him kind of attractive. Reply to this

Tameka is seasoned the only thing is I believe she acts up when she is around him but could care less when they are apart.
I don't think its Jay-Z he already has his jump off's lined up. He does not need to get a call girl service. When Bey was on world tour one of his JO's traveled with him. It alludes me which site had the pictures of the girl. Jay-Z is health contious and will not just plug anyone now due to his relationship with Bey.

Maybe we have disucssed him and I overlooked it.I know he used to be a member of Pieces of a Dream and they were "semi" big in the UK.

Hey Blessed, In her book Superhead talks about her close-friendship with Norwood who is Gay. I think she talked about his exquisite good taste... Also, she says that Norwood has been with some of the biggest names in Hollywood and that He could write a book that would expose even more on the DL...
And, I agree I wouldn't tell her anything.She doesn't know the meaning of loyalty and true friendship, and will name names to sell a book. I still can't believe the scandalous way she did Tigger? He helped her and her son when she were down. Whatever I knew OR seen Tigger doing... I would have taken it to my grave???
In the first chapter of Karrine's latest book The Vixen Diaries, Karrine speaks of singer and stylist Norwood Young ("A Man Named Norwood"). Norwood, who is Darius's McCrary's godbrother, is not happy that Karrine exposed private conversations he had with her, including his mother's name and his confession that, as a child, he was sexually abused. Norwood said the first chapter "was so shocking, because that means the chick went home and took notes and kept them. She had always planned to put me in a part of her book." Norwood said if he had not been ready to discuss his sexual abuse, the chapter would've devastated him and his mother. "She would have blew my whole life out of the water. And she was supposed to be my friend... Reply to this

I just want to put another spin on Karrine not that I agree with her antics. She is apart of a play ground called entertainment. She was used and treated like an object for many years. Granted she was fully aware of the lifestyle and her usefulness in the Hip-Hop scene. Most of the men she spoke about dogged her like they dog many aspiring female singer, rappers, models, video vixens, and regular entertainment driven young girls who want to make a career for themselves in the industry. I see it to be no different than how Girl 27 portrayed the workings of Hollywood and what happened to her. Karrien was apart of that trap. Tiger helped her and he also used her. Tiger is the same as every DL man who sleeps with woman and men. Norwood could have been a victim of circumstance yet he is still the same DL gay man who keeps a secret. Karrine ousted these men and I cannot be mad at her for naming names. Now young girls and women are aware of their sexual behavior. I like the fact that there was no need to guess the physical features of her characters except Poppa of course whom she ousted in the second book but that’s the price he paid to play the game. He used Supa for his needs he may have been nicer to her than any other but this is still a man who cheated on his wife with a woman who has been around the world. Supa is not the only woman he was with and will not be the last. After this experience he still places his wife in jeopardy. I can't blame or be mad a supahead for trying to financially secure future even if she spends the money before she receives the payment. Like most AA's in entertainment she has poor money management skills. She serviced the industry now the industry is servicing her. The sad part is that men still call her for special favors the difference now is that she holds some cards now. They play at their own risk and no one can blame her for that. She told no lies and continues to speak about the activities all of us want to hear about. We all want to know who the gay rapper or actor is, what they do and who they do it with. She is another source of information. The only problem with her I have is that she does not tell enough. The game is what it is and she is playing the game to the best of her ability. Oohh Tiger is so sensitive ooohh Tiger helped her Tiger set her up to walk into a few situations too. Imagine how many women Tiger used and abused because he had a name and used the name as a tool to lure unsuspecting females. There are no friends in business especially the entertainment business. We read it everyday here where on friend call in a BI because they don’t like the friends behavior. JMO I wonder what was Norwood angle for befriending Supahead a known blabber mouth Reply to this

LinaB, I dont know of her story with Tigger, but I do believe that if she revealed the childhood story of Norwood she is messy. However, I do recognize that Tigger is not innocent in all of this. I know of men who help women, simply to use and pimp them out. And the more involved in this industry I get, the more I know that no one is your friend. Some people dont understand why Will Smith and Tom Cruise are friends, other than the DL thing, there is a need to have friends with as much to lose as you do. And both of them have a lot to lose, so they will keep each other's secrets. The entertainment industry is scandalous, to say the least, but someone who has written a tell all book is scarey.

IMO, Superhead treated herself as an object and sold herself to the highest bidder. These men she messed with are not responsible for her low self-esteem, she is. She willingly went after a number of those men. She allowed men whom she was fully aware of to be in relationships etc. to hang up in her house and pay her bills and sex her. Even if they weren't in relationships, a man knows an easy breezy when he sees one. Yes, they did use her for their needs. That's why many men visit escort services, and that was basically the service she was providing. No one believed that these men were saints. In the vast majority of the cases the wives were fully aware of her and her actions. But the wives also knew that she was nothing more than a side dish, and that the likelyhood of their husbands, boyfriends whatever actually leaving them for a hoover groupie were a nillion to none. She is so keen to expose all these celebs that she slept with, their likes and dislikes, throwing the fact that she slept with these men in their main chicks faces and exposing their personal business as if that makes her special. She only shared certain tidbits, she didn't really share all the dirt she used to do and still does because she wants to come off as someone you can sympathize with, like she's really educating somebody. Sorry boo boo... but in your case Bill Maher was right...you ain't that bright. You can't claim that a man used you when you willingly toss yourself out there to be used so that you get your bills paid and pass the VIP rope. She could have done the same thing many other video girls/models do when propositioned by an artist...decline and keep it pushing. With all them men supporting her she could have went to school. Invested in some stocks. But no, she wrote a book about how she survived the big scary entertainment industry and how all these sponsors exchanged money for sex so she could feed her son (whom she should have NOT put a pic of in her book, what kind of mother is that???)and keep a roof over her po' lil head. Her backstabbing of Norwood shows that she will throw anybody under the bus to make a few bucks. Reply to this

Hi Fashion.... I never said she was innocent... She did what she had to do in order not to depend on the men and sell herself anymore to that degree as you stated above. Lying on your back does not last forever. I understand where you are coming from and never ruled out that she played apart in her career choice.. I also wanted to point out that the men played apart too they are not innocent. Everyone in entertainment is out to make it big and rich. Everyone takes their chances. Supa opened the door for people to start writing book and dishing information. Prior to her the only person who was willing to out the activities was wendy williams and of course Myra. I see nothing wrong with what Supabedhead did. Its all about game and every author who writes a book projects and image. The image helps with sales. TD denied his gay behavior and also said talked about God alot. In one part of his book he said he would never sleep with a married man but on another page he said they went to dinner together and he had a friendship with the wife. I don't fault supahead alone I fault everyone involved. Maybe she will throw anybody under the bus so its up to people to choose not to get thrown. Right now celebrities are still calling her asking for head from Supahead knowing they may appear in her book if the story is good enough. She did what she had to do for her future and not the future of the rappers she was sexing. I say so what she told that what I like reading and that’s why I visit this site and I will not crucify her for telling and naming names. If I did not want my story out I would not befriend her nor would I tell her anything. Would it be any different if she were on the radio dishing and telling names like many morning show host and radio personalities or TMZ or Perez Hilton or bossip or PR for that matter and E entertainment. Its all just entertainment. I understand where your coming from truth be told she is not the only unfit mother in the world. Most women who don't treat their children right come from an unfit home. She made a choice and people would have found pictures of her son and placed it on the web eventually with sarcastic remarks below about how he looks. She put the pictures out there now she is talked about and not her son. Now its poor little boy has a mother like supa. I don't sypathize I just understand its business and not personal.

And I consider myself to be a pretty intelligent woman (that's my story and i'm sticking to it .. any evidence to the contrary will be ignored hee hee)but she didn't seem slow to me. I think she's pretty guarded and hell considering the scrutiny that celebrities face I can't blame her. Anywhoo, I liked her.

Hi Litigating, One thing about family, you never really, really know what is going on the inside. Did she send them money that they spent on foolishness, do they only talk to her when they need money, did she offer to pay for college and they wanted her to do something extravagant instead?? An Aunt had a house foreclose, never said one word to anyone. My Parents saw it in the paper and called Aunt to try to save the house for her, offering various methods of financing/catching up payments. Even offered to buy it outright, deed it to her and allow her to then get a mortgage under them. My Parents are in their 60's and this Aunt is in her early 40's with no children or real liabilities. Nope, Aunt said "just buy me a Mercedes and I will move into an apartment. Mortgage was too much anyway." And she was DEAD SERIOUS.

They held regular jobs,struggled at times financially,and did without the luxuries that most would associate with the lifestyle of rich&famous! The rich relative may have paid for college education but not much more. I dont think that there is anything wrong with assisting faily if you financially have the means to do so,but you must keep things in their proper perspective .Some family member shave a strange sense of entitlement, and assume that because you have money you are obligated to support them, and hand over money every time they ask.

The nice girl thing that she gives is real, one of the nicest people, not fake, and funny. They are together more than people realize, if you see one the other is not far behind.

work in television: I was just having a conversation with my son about them as well. I dont know them but our discussion was about what they have in common and the fact that they waited 5 or 6 years before getting married. So I would think they know each other pretty well and get along really well. Something also has to be said about the both of them wanting to keep their private lives private, someone else would probably be flaunting a relationship with her or with him, but the two of them know the importance of privacy and obviously agree on more than anyone knows. Hell, my son isnt as famous as any of them, but cant find a girl that wont run and tell she's seeing him. So that in itself says a lot to me. As much as folks might comment about them, I truly believe that 5 or 6 year wait is a very important factor. Now that doesnt mean he hasnt been with the trannies either, but still, he probably loves her, and as unattractive as he is, she probably loves him too. Reply to this

I was lurking but I agree with most of what people are saying. I am leaning heavily towards Beyonce and Jay only because of that song "Resentment" I know its just a song but she really put a lot into it. Here are some of the lyrics: "I'll always remember feeling like I was no good Like I couldn't do it for you and your mistress could Its all because you lied
I know she was attractive But I was here first Been riding with you for six years Why did I deserve To be treated this way By you you
I know you're probably thinking What's wrong with B I've been crying for too long What did you do to me"
A lady once told me that men are naturally polygamous and sometimes I believe it Some men have everything at home and still cheat. How does one explain this? Kept women and escorts are proof of this women's statement. Even as the economy worsens, these girls will continue to get paid Reply to this

Only thing is Resentment was released and written by another artist YEARS before Beyonce was even thought of and YEARS before she met JayZ. By changing a few lines here and there putting her name in and slowing the melody, she personalized it. But Resentment as an oldschool song that can apply to any relationship and/or situation. SO i really dont think her singing this song is any indication of drama between her and Jay. Reply to this

I am aware that she did not write the song and that she did change the lyrics. This could have been to (a) receive a writers credit or (b) add a personal touch to the song based on possible experience. I like to think that it is the later and not the former. I don't know whether or not the BI is them but, that's my guess based on my personal opinions. While this song may or may not be an indication of drama between Beyonce and Jay-Z, it would not surprise me if it were. I am sure that Jay-Z has stepped out on Beyonce often and that she knows and chooses to deal with it for whatever reason. They give the appearance of a drama free couple because they are mature enough to deal with issues between themselves so that no word really gets out about them. Otherwise, it could be any couple who recently got married. I am sure they all have their issues. Reply to this

I don't recall anyone taking anything on this site for "gospel". However, as intelligent beings, we have the ability to discern and form opinions based on our discernments. If something is said about a celebrity that is obviously not true, many insiders will put out the truth. These people are either telling the truth, or they are lying. That is up to the individual to believe. I never said that any of what I said was to be taken as fact. I am merely taking part in gossip on a gossip board. It's not that serious. I will admit that due to litigating's first hand analysis of the interaction between Jay-Z and Beyonce, I can believe that they love each other. Should I not take her word for it when she has first hand experience with the two? However, it doesn't mean that he was 100% faithful. I think the problem is that what I said pertains to Jay-Z and Beyonce and those two may be near and dear for certain posters. When these two come up, people get defensive. I am only aware of a few people being friends to the site so I make sure to be respectful of those people. If you have issues with me forming opinions about Jay-Z based on what I have read from various sources, I have no problems with it. Perhaps he is a relative or Beyonce is related to you or LinaB. If that were the case, I would understand your being protective of the two. I don't think its that serious and I doubt that Beyonce or Jay-Z is losing sleep over what you and I post about them, whether in their favor or otherwise.

Now that I have that knowledge (thanks to you), my theory is slightly flawed and that's okay.

It's offical Mr.Usher and Tameka is over. Well what do we have here? Extremely reliable sources close to Mr. Raymond himself have confirmed to TheYBF.com that Usher has indeed filed for separation from his wife of only 9 months Tameka Raymond. I’m told he actually filed three weeks ago. And Usher is torn on whether he will be making an official announcement or not as he wants to save face and just let it “leak”. How convenient that his album releases in exactly 6 days, his second video hit the net today, and his album leaked yesterday. We’ve been here before with the pre-album release publicity stunts (remember the Chilli breakup right before Confessions?). So I’m really not surprised.
But it is interesting that Mrs. Raymond was just on set with Usher for his MTV snippet tapings on Sunday. At the very beginning of their relationship almost a year ago, sources were screaming left and right that this whole relationship was a sham and Tameka was strictly a pawn. And their relationship was all for publicity for his soon to be released album. And clearly this may not have been as far fetched as people thought.
At this time, it’s unclear as to what reason–if any–Ursh is going to give for their separation. But I have two guesses…both of which fit the classic Usher-pre-album-release-publicity stunts he has pulled before with previous album releases. Either the beef between the Mrs. and Mama Ursh is too much for Usher to handle, or he found out baby Usher V is not his. Regardless, Urshmeka is chillin’ on Splitsville Lane right now and time will only tell how this is all about to play out. http://theybf.com/ So cross Usher and Tameka off the list Reply to this

However, for me, I believe it is B/J, not because I hate B/J (I don't even know them!), but because that is where the clues take me.

Hey i1da, I dont want to debat this at all, as you know I dont debat opinions. But I dont like or dislike either one of those couples. They arent putting any food in my mouth, but for me, the evidence points to Usher just as it points to Jay-Z for you. This is a gossip site, so everyone is fair game to me unless the clues point elsewhere. Usher tried to get his own fan site taken down for not agreeing with his marriage, signifying his undying devotion to her. I've never known Jay-Z to do that. Also, Jay-Z and Beyonce dated 6 years, there is nothing quickie about that. Usher filed for separation, sounds to me like he stopped having sex with her a while ago, another clue in the BI. But hey, if it points to Jay-Z for you, sobeit, but make no mistake about it, I have no favorites, but I was happy to hear litigating say she spent time with them and they seemed to be genuinely in love, that gives me hope for a good daughter-in-law and grandkids.

In some ways i feel sorry for usher! He has always been super talented , but fame was not in his reach , it has only been since the last two albums that he finally is getting what he deserves . So there seems like some truth to the publicity stunt . As shallow as this might sound , why would he settle for Tameka ? From Chili to Tameka ? And all the beautiful women that throw themselves at him .... Most of Usher's earlier albums can be played all the way through ...It is a shame he would have to resort to publicity stunts to get the public interested with all his talent ! when people like JT get immediate label push and promotion . they promoted and pushed the hell out of jt's first album ,and i was not impressed !

Speaking of which, don't ever see DL Hughley live more than once every couple years. I saw him live maybe 3 times in a year and a half and heard the same jokes each and every time, just in different order. So sad that I paid to get my laugh on and he was recycling jokes...lazy. Reply to this

Hey Karamelbella! Having a VERY BLESSED day!
Over the past few years, there has been a rash of marriages in black Hollywood. Recently, quicky marriages have become the rage.
Despite his untold dedication to his wife. We have received reports that a newly married husband has been stepping out on his wife with a variety of call girls.
Our cheating hubby has rented suites stocked with weed and Dom. He loves to sexually entertain two women at a time. His favorite destination for call girl hookups is in Las Vegas.
When he arrives in Las Vegas, sometimes, escorts are waiting for him in his limo and a lot of hanky panky goes on enroute to his hotel suite.
His wife remains clueless as he runs up a secretive tab for high end escorts.
This has become an addiction for him. He tells his wife he has to go out of town on business when he's really meeting up with ladies of the evening.
The wife has allegedly been telling friends that their sex life had died down since their marriage because her husband is such a workaholic but the real reason is: He's stepping out on her.

Nick has enough of his own money to cheat, not as much as her but he is a millionaire.
Reply to this
Hello Gorgeous!
Yep, Nick has his residuals as well as upcoming flicks already in the can!
Drumline is still paying the kid whenever it hits TBS, HBO or any other broadcast. NOt really sure what he made off of Wildin' Out, but remember; as he was the executive producer, even MTV's stingy asses have to pay up for the reruns...
Plus, he still has the teen appeal, so look for his Nickelodeon exposure to continue to reap benefits as the tweens get older.
The boy ain't broke... not by a long shot.

true also consider he's been offered roles for major movie studios. The movie BOBBY and Crash, which he turned down and Luda got the role.

Hello PR Peeps~ Nick didn't turn down the role in Bobby. He was in the movies and did a decent job.

Hey BW,
A lot of people are sleepin' on Nick. He may not have Mariah money but dude is straight. Like GS (Hi darling) said he is a millionaire.

Nick is worth about 3-5 million. What I like about him, he doesn't floss, low key. Mimi is worth about 225 million according to PR and other media. Tigger is another low key millionaire.

Reply to this
numerous endorsements from over the years affiliated with what he does from BET to DJ'ing
Reply to this
I agree with my GS, no need for flossing if you have it.
Those that brag, are usually the ones to wind up broke first...
Reply to this
The ostentatious displays of wealth are usually done by what many call "Nouveau riche". Low key is good.
Reply to this
GS...totally agree with you. Also, if someone with 3-5 million is smart, in the long run, they may actually do better than someone who chooses to floss. I tell you...some of our people have truly lost their minds. How many truly wealthy people do you see spending 1-2 million on a party that is going to last one night on the regular like Diddy just to impress others? I think that this is sheer stupidity. How about buying some property with that money? Maybe sock a little more money away in the trust funds of your children?
I don't know what is up with him and Mariah, but good for Nick for making a respectable living and hopefully, keeping it in his pocket.

he is worth 20 million not 2-3

I forgot about Usher too. He has been looking kind of broke down lately. He has lost the "little" swagger he once had.
Reply to this
Evening everyone!
I'm jumping in with Usher also. The "untold dedication to his wife" is what did it for me. Bey & Jay still don't acknowledge their status publicly, but Ursher was shutting down fan blogs this time last year for blasting his wife. To quote him, "you got it, you got it bad!" Also, the workaholic fits because he's been working on this new album for a while and right after they married, was when the album was supposed to originally drop so there was prob a lot of "meetings" he had to attend.
Reply to this
With the recent weddings of Jay-Z/Beyonce and Mariah Carey/Nick Cannon, I almost forgot about Usher and Tameka. They kind of got lost in the shuffle but they haven't even been married for a year. It seems like they got married a long time ago.

Totally agree. Beyonce strikes me as clueless; cute but clueless. I don't think Tameka wouldn't let Usher go away on a "businesss" trip w/o her or a spy; she strikes me as women who would keep tabs on her man.

Oops I meant to write that I don't think Tameka would let usher go away on a business trip w/o her or a spy
Reply to this
Didn't Tameka make Usher push back the release of his album until after the baby was born? Didn't she "have labor pains" when Usher decided he was not going to get married?
Reply to this
I don't see Beyonce as being clueless. I think it's an act for the media. They get off on people pulling the cute role. If she was a clueless as you state, I don't think she would have made it this far. There would be some type of negativity when her name is said. To surround yourself with family and stay in a positive light is beyond smart and being safe.

Exactly M.W. Beyonce is far from clueless, she would not have made it this far if she were, also Matthew has here back..

I forgot about Usher. I immediately thought it was Jayonce, but im sure Ms Bey keeps him entertained quite well. So i'll go with Usher also

Usher is a good guess, but I'll pick him if it states he was creeping with "callmen".

a poster from atlanta stated that usher told one of his male conquests that he loves men and women equally. so that makes him bi.
he can still be a contender.

That is correct. About 3-4 years ago apparently there was about to be some scandal about something being release about Usher and he was forced to admit that he had "been with people of both sexes in the past"...something like that... Diddy turned him out. Dam* shame.
Reply to this
That's good info. But does Tameka come across as the clueless type who would fall for I'm working hard so I have to go to Vegas and you can't have any sex tonight? I think not.
Homegirl seems more like she might be telling him that.

You are right. She does not come across as stupid.A little psycho maybe--checking his boxers and ish.... I also think she wears a strap on. I'm just saying...

atlprincess, for some reason I'm feeling Nick and Mariah for this one. Those photo ops and tattoos seem to be a bit much for a six month relationship. The "secret tab" makes me think him too.
He's seems to be a little sneaky and gets in where he fits in from Kim Kardashian to Selita Ebanks and now Mariah. Who needed a cover for her and the Brats relationship and that prostitution past that PR put on front street.

I just don't see this as being Usher. I have only heard that he is gay. I guess he could be bi, but I don't really see him sneaking to Vegas to hook up with female escorts. As for Diddy turning him out...I always thought that his mother should have been ashamed of herself for having let him live with Diddy when he was still a minor. Between Andre Harell and Diddy...he didn't stand a chance.
Reply to this
Hey Vanity, I agree what was she thinking. I laerned about that some years ago about her allowing Usher to live with Diddy, when he was "grooming" him for stardom. I would NEVER let my sons live with anyone. I don't get some of these mothers. If he could not have made it living at home with me, he would not have made it !!!

You sound like me. I hardly ever go to the theater. I usually wait for it to come on HBO or if I heard good things about it, I buy it on DVD. But I took Friday off from work so I can go to the matinee showing of Sex & The City.
And I, too, will be sneaking food into the theater. I'm not trying to go broke on snacks when I can bring a meal in. I'm an expert in sneaking food into the theater...taco bell, pizza hut, KFC, you name it. If you can eat with your hands, I've had it in the theater.
Show back up here that evening so we all can talk about it.

I asked you in another thread what you were planning to see on the 30th...so this is it. I haven't decided if I want to go to show to see it yet but I am with all of you with the snacks in the show. When my daughter was young, I bought popcorn but took juice and fruit snacks because I didn't give her candy or pop at the time. I don't go very often but I always have the nachos but the last time I went, they weren't that tasty and they were kind of cold.For the price you would think that it would be warm- LOL

Oh, my bad. Looks like I missed that question. Yeah, I was talking about the Sex & The City movie.
This is the first movie I've seen in the theatre this year. I actually saw more than a few films in the theaters in 2007 but we were getting free promotional passes at my job so it wasn't like I was paying those high-a$$ prices.
I actually saw American Gangster like 3 weeks before it came out...pretty cool.

He wasn't in Vegas but a casino that just opened in Connecticut, which is why she told him to get his ass home. But they haven't been married a month so I hope it's not them because the sex shouldn't be falling off in the honeymoon stage!!!!! Now that's a damn shame.
Reply to this
But let's not forget Ush has been sticking that (Tamika) for some time: While he's been in other 'committed' relationships, in between relationships, while she's been with her ex-husband, after her ex-husband.
Hell If it is Usher it wouldn't surprise me, considering if the reality of it all has sunk in. He married a chic with extreme baggage, maybe its "Why did I jump the broom" remorse. You know what the say about a hard head and a sore ass. Speaking of a sore ass, Ush f*ked up when he let Tamika get papers on him cuz BABY with his "issues" if and when this relationship goes south.... Oh! She's gonna give Terrance Dean a run for his money!!! [Hope he was smart enough to include a disclosure clause in the prenup]
Reply to this
What is her baggage ?Having children? Alot of women have children and are in relationships with men who arent the father of their children! If every man viewed a woman with children as having baggage ,there would be a whole lot of single women in the world!
Reply to this
I would think that Usher would get a prenup , if he was that worried about her taking him to the cleaners! Whether it works or not in the long run, I respect the fact that he thought enough of her to make her a wife and not just a baby mama,not that there is anything wrong with baby mamas, but marriage takes a relationship to a whole other level of commitment!

Hey Kiki &Tam in TO! I know women personally who have the "all men cheat " mindset,brought on most liekly by their own past /previous relationship issues! Whether people will admit it or not,many are influenced to say what they say and act as they act because of what they have been through! Experience shapes all of us,but that all men cheat mindset is one I cant get with! I'd sooner say "Alot of men cheat" or even " many men cheat" than to say "all men cheat"!
The good men may be too few and far inbetween but I do believe that they exist,or at least I'd like to!You 'd be surprised (or perhaps not) at the number of women within the industry that knowingly tolerate their spouses cheating because they refuse to walk away from the lifestyle and $$ that his celeb status provides her with!
Reply to this
But does anyone really think Tameka cares what he does? It seems a woman who comes in, turns your life upside down getting you to ditch your mother, publicist and other on your team, her goal is to get in so he can be basically dependent on her and her alone. That's not love but manipulation to get the cash and lifestyle. Don't get me wrong, I'm not hating by any means. As a matter of fact, I understand that in the history of mankind and marriage, love and romance is a relatively novel concept for a reasoning to get hitched.
It just seems to me that once a woman does all that to alienate everyone in his inner circle until they're gone, I'd assume she probably travels everywhere with him. Isn't she still his stylist/manager?
Reply to this
A woman can only do what you allow her to,and I still say they give her too much credit.Usher is grown. Again he makes his own decisions,and if they happen to be influenced by someone that "he chose to listen to "thats on him! Maybe he needs a stroner back bone.Alot of people seem too overzealous to try to determine who is or isnt good enough for him! I say its not their business. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but at the end of the day that man has a right to choose to be with whoever he wants,even if we dont agree! She might be considered unattractive or average looking with baggage to alot of people but he still chose her, so he cant be too d*amn shallow!Ushers mom did not like Tameka(and she likely had her reasons), but her son is not a little boy and displayed his own independence when made the choice to fire her as his manager! There comes a time to cut the apron strings,and if a mother cant understand and respect the fact that hes making his own choices that she may not agree with than it becomes a conflict of interest! That may have influenced his choice to no longer have her as his manager! If she alienated his inner circle &he allowed it, than whos fault is that?
Reply to this
Hello all....I happen to be one of the women who really do think that all men cheat because they do. It's in their nature to do so. i don't care how good of a man or how devoted he appears to be but he will cheat if only once, he wil cheat.
Reply to this
Hey Miss Terri. I can respect your honesty and opinion as well.I however personally dont believe that ,because that would mean that all men lack self control and that 1 size fit all analysis is too much like generalizing or even sterotyping "to me"! Just as I would not agree with a man stating "all women are tramps or golddiggers" I cant fairly brand all men cheaters.I dont know all men!I will say this much! There are alot of cheating men.There are probably alot of cheating women also.The women that I know who state that "all men cheat" have all been through rough past relationships and had major issues of some sort with the men they were involved with! Those bad experiences in my opinion have brought on the whole"all men are dogs,and cheat "way of thinking (im myopinion)!
Reply to this
I agree with you, if the right place, right time, (and the right women) all line up together, I think any man will cheat. It is women out here who go after married men,(hell, I work with quite a few of them) just because they like the chase of breaking them down.

I knew the 1st guess was going to be Jay & Bey. They have only been married a month. It sound like this cheating has been going on a while. Besides, Jay has been on tour with Mary since he got married. I doubt if he has had time to hit Vegas lately. Not impossible but not likely. Mariah & Nick have only dated for 2 months. Larry Johnson is engaged, not married. There are not many black marriages. Usher came to mind. Damon Dash has been married for a couple years.

And because of her they broke up and eventually I found out he was still creeping with her and me. I got the hell out of dodge but I had the unfortunated experience of listening to this woman crying hysterically telling ME w/ tears in her eyes how she's always had to be second and never be number one.

Blind guess: The "untold dedication to his wife" part makes me think Usher.
Reply to this
Untold dedication can have two meanings. First, it can mean untold as in not revealed, second, it can mean untold as in inexpressible. In the case of Jay-Z and Beyonce both meaning fit in that both have refused to speak on their relationship or their marriage, and also based on the description of the prenup and what others have stated Jay-Z has an inexpressible dedication to Beyonce, as in he will never leave her.

that untold dedication ,could be defined more than 1 way I suppose, i personally think it fits Beyonce and jay more because Usher has been quite candid about his feeling s for his wife.Jay on the other hand has not spoken much(untold) about his relationship with Beyonce but still appears to be dedicated to her in his own way.

A lot of insiders and blogs reported that she was giving the girl the side eye while she visited the set. Honestly, I can understand keeping yourself aware of what's going on especially if your husband is in the biz and all because groupies will catch you slipping...But at the same time, if your husband is indeed your husband and your marriage is a true one all this extra on top of extra effort should not really be a part of your daily routine.

The more I think on it clueless becomes Mariah and Beyonce but certainly not Tameka.

I thought I was the only one who thought those photos of Mariah and Nick on the beach were posed!
And the way you described it is exactly how it looks. And he just so happened to have his back turned in just the right angle for the camera to pick up the whole "Mariah" across his back.
Reply to this
Rumor had it, that J has been cheating on Bey and for quite awhile. And although they had been dating, I think the low key can't-talk-about-it-, refuse-to-wear-wedding bands classifies as a "quickie" marriage - considering there is a rumored pregnancy on the horizon.
Other than them, #2 Guess. Usher and Tameka

Hi Paris!
OT (but speaking of Detroit and/or ties to Detroit)...can you guys give and update on Flenory Brothers and the Black Mafia Family? The buzz has slowed down alot on them but I'm SO interested in it. It's like a HUGE web. It's so crazy because I was at a lot of the parties, passed the billboard on a daily basis,always thought or suspected something but those guys were smart. I remember having dinner one night with my friends and Meech just walked over and paid for the tab for no dam* reason at all. They had all kinds of businesses. I knew Treymayne Graham owned "404 Motorsports" but I assumed it was all legit. *SMH*
Reply to this
Hey atlprincess,
When I lived in atlanta , I was very active with Hands on Atlanta and we were preparing for the annual fundraiser that was being hosted by Arthur Blank and his wife. Meech donated a weekend at condo in Miami for the silent auction. And Tremayne gave us a ferrari for a weekend rental. I was so excited about their contribution that I made sure they were seated at my table that night. Before they left they each gave me a check for 10k to the chairty. I'm not condoning how they made their money but they were generous about giving back to the community
Reply to this
Hi Litigating:
Yes. I hear about those kind of stories all the time. What pissed me off is that although Kai may have known SOME things--these people try to pull Mayor Franklin into it. I honestly think she had no clue what she was doing or what Tremayne and BMF were cooking up (no pun intended)

My friend at BET told me, they use PR's black underworld feature for their American Gangster series, so if a local or national gangsta is featured over there, it's a chance BET may pick their story up. My friend also said Myra put them in touch with the Ward Brothers family, the Ward Brothers were those notorious pimps from the bay area, the Mack was based on one of them and Max Julien drove his Caddy in the movie. BET had been looking for relatives to tell the story, BET couldn't find them but Myra did and hooked BET up. Last I heard, a few of the relatives wanted money for the story to be told, don't know if BET agreed or not. We'll see when the new season begins.

Exactly ,people develop their own coping mechanisms& way of dealing with what they go through! Sometimes its just easier and less drama to "see and dont see" and not feed into it. She may even be hurt by it,but hes a grown ass man.Nothing that she says or does is going to stop him from creeping if it isnt in his head/heart to stop! Whether a woman is famous and rich or not ,if shes in love with a man her man or husband and he cheats she has to feel some hurt!Being "possibly"cheated on is one thing that even the most beautiful ,rich,famous women arent exempt from!
Reply to this
I think folks are forgetting that either way it goes, Beyonce will be straight. She was smart enough to get J to do a prenup where if the relationship ended, she would be straight. She's already straight due to her talent, but it's always nice to have a little extra security. Notice how she married him after he started securing these million dollar deals. I've read about 2 major deals within the last 2 months. He's on top of his game and she is too. I don't think he's going to screw this thing up.
Reply to this
*waves at atlprincess who is on fiyah today*
Hi Deanna!
If Bey is jumping in some girl's face over Jay, then she really isn't that smart. Women absolutely kill me stepping to the woman when they suspect their man is cheating. This is not move that denotes any kind of intelligence.
Although they are newlyweds, The Carters had been dating for six years which is 42 in dog years. *hoping TenderTee took the puppy got out to do his business*.
Reply to this
LMAO! Why did you break it down in dog years! LOL!
And I agree... confronting the woman is not a good look. Confront the man for entertaining it.
But maybe this is a case of an aggressive woman pushing up on Jay and Jay was (or was at least pretending like) he wasn't interested. Then maybe step to the woman. I've seen some pretty aggressive women who will stop at nothing to engage in conversation to pull someone else's man. And seeing as how he has all this money and visibility, that makes him even more attractive to some women and they "gotta have it."
But even then, the man should be smart enough to put 50 feet between himself and the aggressor; not just stand there. So I can't really call it.

My question is, did ursher and tameka have a quickie marriage, i cant remember? I think Mariah knows enough tricks to keep Nick occupied for a minute and besides she is older than him and would not be stupid, she could spot game, but may not want to admit she made a mistake. So right now, my guess is probably usher, for now.

Child Bearing Hips,
You could be right. I do remember them cancelling the first one.

I think it was a quickly marriage for Usher & Tameka. I think I remember folks being surprised when they announced their engagement.
Plus here's a timeline that I found:
In June 2007, Usher and then fiancee Tameka announced their baby boy would be born in the fall of 2007. They planned to get married at LA Reid's house in July 2007 but cancelled that one and got married in a lawyer's office in Atlanta in August 2007.

Hey Pdiddy, I posted below that it could be Usher, even though Tameka is real ignorant and insecure. I have heard about her staring other women down and starting mess on Usher's video sets with the vixens... I could still see him stepping out. Usher has always been a cheat anyways, even when he was with Chili.
It could also be Bee and Jay. I hope that it's not. I would really like to see them make it...They are the real deal! But, the word clueless could be a hint. Because, people are always saying Beyonce is nice but a little slow...
If it in fact turns out to be Nick and Mariah would we even be shocked? Cause after all their farce of a marriage seems so fake. Nick has a reputation with the ladies too and doesn't mind spending money on them. This marriage was over before it started. I don't want to sound mean but come on...

Morning LaLa,That's good that she looks happy, happiness is a good thing. However, they just look silly together and it doesn't seem real and that's my own personal opinion. Something is off, and PR already had something on the front page in regards to what Nick is saying...

She knows I second that! Soemthign is off! I remember having same reaction when I saw Ray J grinning up in Whitneys face!

Mariah Carey from her own ,mouth,lol is in someways stunted at age of 12! That statement alone raised my eyebrows!

I'm going with SheKnows and coccalatte on this one. Something is so very off about Nick and Mariah, maybe it's because we haven't seen her with the Da Brat-a-tat-tat.

Why u had to put the laxatives out there? I'm about to lose MY bowels just reading that! But seriously, I think the consensus is that these two are so busy 'promoting' their marriage like their latest business venture it's no wonder people are cynical. And between the magazine photo shoots, television circuits and various interviews when will they start enjoying their "marriage?" I mean this isn't like previously scheduled obligations (like Jay's tour)these two caricatures are initiating this frenzy. Besides I thought the IN thing now is those couples that are doing the damn thing for real are keeping it on the low and putting extra effort to keep the media out of their relationship. They didn't get the memo?! or is this just Myra's prediction coming to fruition regarding Terrance Dean's book? Hmmmm.

Kelly may be thin but she is not pretty. Beyonce is not thin but she is pretty. Bottom line there is enough work in Hwood for everyone to get a role. Jennifer will win some and lose some, just like every other actor who goes up for a role, regardless of how thin, how fat, how pretty or how unpretty you are.

I am not sure about there being enough work for everyone, but each role does require something and somebody different. So, Jennifer, Kelly, and Beyonce will lose roles to each other. Unless they executive produce their own projects as Beyonce did with Cadillac Records.

I meant what a funny coincidence that Jennifer Hudson had beating out two girls who was once in the same popular singing group.
It had nothing to do with her looks or weight,I see Jennifer Hudson as one of the most beautiful talented women around.

She was perfect for the role she played in DG and she deserved the Oscar

I thought the same thing about Jennifer Hudson beating out yet another member of Destiny's Child for a role in a major film. What a (happy) coincidence!
And to the poster above who said Kelly is clueless, this seems to be correct, the way the front page was written.
I'm just glad I get to see some decent acting come May 30th out of Jennifer Hudson compared to what we all would have gotten out of Kelly Rowland (i.e. The Seat Filler)

Yes, Kelly can sing. I remember when Monique was hosting BET and did Beyonce's dances and the camera was placed on DC, Kelly seemed to be annoyed, LOL...
Reply to this
I didn't notice that. I was too busy doing the "uh-oh, uh-oh" dance with Monique in front of my tv!
But I like Kelly's voice, Dilemma was my joint! I do think she's had the same misstep I've seen in a few other singers and that is not having the best material to show off the her voice strengths.

Not only was dilemna hot, but the song she did with Trina was the truth, but the one that did it for me was, when they played her song with Eve, Like Dis in the club, oh it was time to get on the dance floor!!!

Like this, was my song! I think her problem was bad single choices. I love her song "Love Again". You can really hear her voice on that song. Loves it!

I believe Kelly is learning and has taken a turn to distance her self from the robotic state that she dwelled in for so long. Lately she has no said anything much about Beyonce or the Knowles camp. She is focusing on her career trying to promote her re-release of Ms. Kelly. She is in the studio working on a new album. She is also working with a new batch of producers and is not calling Bey to listen to her tracks for approval. She is trying to find her own way and hopefully she will begin to surround herself with a team that caters to her. You can be as talented as Whitney Houston but with the wrong team even the best career will stall or fall short. She is beginning to listen to outside people advice. The immense failure of Miss Kelly had to prove to her where she stands on Music Worlds list of priorities. Lets hope her eyes keep opening to forge better result in her future endeavors.

Hey Candi, That's good, it sounds like Kelly is learning to see her own potential and worth. It's nothing wrong with her supporting Bee as friends should, but just don't neglect yourself in the process. I hope that her new album is nice, because the vocal ability is there...

I HEARD SSONG FROM KELLY'S NEW ALBUM. SHE DOES A REMAKE OF BOBBY WOMACK'S "DAYLIGHT" WHILE NOT AS POWERFUL AS BOBBY, SHE DOES A NICE JOB ON THIS SONG.

You ain't never lied now how do we get that message to her? It is to the point of a cult following.
For the record I disagree with the person above who doesn't think Kelly is attractive but that's their opinion. Now the person I always found questionable is Michelle. I'm not referring to attractiveness but I always got the feeling that she was way older than they were saying. Something about her face screamed older woman to me. And quite frankly I've always felt she was an outsider within that group

Hi Fam,
Let's be real about this acting thing. Each time an actor gets a role, it is more practice than before. So, I would like to think that Kelly has gotten better since Seat Filler, that was so long ago. She has been cast in the upcoming movie Mama I Want To Sing, with Ciara and Lynn Whitfield. I felt that Kelly should have the lead role instead of Ciara, especially since Kelly is a much better singer. But the producers went with who was hotter. There will need to either be a lot of editing and studio dubbing on Ciara's voice or a damn voice-over artist for the singing. But I would think that Kelly will be better in this role than she was in Seat Filler, that was years ago. Let's just face it, Will Smith was better in I Am Legend than he was in 6 Degrees of Separation, so why shouldnt Kelly be better now also.
I, too am glad to see some decent acting come out of Jennifer Hudson, as I would be out of Kelly as well.

Sunshine,
Thanks for the love. I like a little positive with my negative.
I am truly that person that will give it to you straight with no chaser. If you dont want an honest answer. I am not the one to come to with the question. But it is truly easy to pull negative out of any situation, the biggest challenge is finding something positive.
Thank You for Being You, Fam.

Hi Mrs. Blessed,I agree with your statements up to comparing 6 degrees to I am in Legend. Will Smith has been a great actor from Day 1 and those 2 rules are polar opposites. What has improved for Will is his RANGE. The rule in I am Legend showed a lot of emotional depth whereas 6 degrees had a character who was really 1 dimensional.
I think overall the roles for any black female are limited so you are right they will constantly lose to each other. I wish we would start more production companies and fund our own stories. Whatever happened to Jada producing The Coldest Winter Ever? I was looking forward to that for sure.
Reply to this
LinaB,
Will has had time to take acting classes, which he admitted to on an episode of "Inside The Actors Studio". Will couldnt act on Fresh Prince, and he stated no one asked him if he could act. That is the comparison for both actors. Will had 5 years on Fresh Prince prior to 6 Degrees, that in itself was practice for him. Kelly has not had that, but I would still like to think that each time she takes on a role, she will get better. Compare 5 years on the Fresh Prince, when he stated he was memorizing other casts lines in order to find his place in the scene, to Seat Filler. Even if 6 Degrees was 1 dimensional, he had 5 years of constant consistent practice on Fresh Prince, there is a comparison between the two.
I do believe you are correct in that more african americans should produce more films, but the challenge with that is, most of them want to crossover and dont want to have an all black cast. Beyonce did what she was supposed to do in Executive Producing Cadillac Records to ensure a lead role. More actors should do the same. I was looking forward to The Coldest Winter Ever also, but Will came along and convinced Jada that she needed to do more crossover work, if you noticed she hasnt done anymore Bamboozled or Jason's Lyric type movies with all black casts, she had to do the movie with Tom Cruise and the one with Don Cheadle & Adam Sandler.

Good Points, I hadn't looked at it from that deeply.
Jada should really go against Will in the making of the Coldest Winter Ever. it has the cross culture appeal that the Color Purple had. And so waht if the movie doesn't cross over does that mean it is no good? Wonder why Will feels that way. I thought her lack of works was really about the kids and her rock band??
Reply to this
Her lack of work is about the kids, etc. But he wants her involved in crossover, she stated it and sighted that was the reason for her accepting The Matrix because he told her that it was time for her to do more crossover roles. I believed her because if you pay attention, when is the last time she did a movie with an all black cast accept Ali, and he cast her in that role because a movie about ALI would be a crossover movie.

Also, Kelly might wanna look up Tasha Smith and get into some of her acting classes, I hear she is pretty good and is where Tyler Perry found her and some of his other actors from.
Reply to this
Tasha Smith is a very talented actress. I really hope Kelly improves but I dnt think acting is really for her or for Beyonce. Not everyone can be a multi talented.
Reply to this
Everyone may not be muli-talented, but I am a firm believer in trying. She should get a good acting coach and work hard. She already has a popular name, with her own money she can create roles for herself. I believe anything is possible, and if it is possible, at least put forth the effort to try.
But then again, my son says I think everybody should be able to ride a bike and chew gum at the same time. LOL. He says if I had grandkids, I would want them reading the wall street journal at 3 years old. I told him he was exaggerating, but they will need to at least be reading by 3. LOL.

If you are in LA trying to be an actor take Tasha Smith's class. The girl has unbelievable range and she's honest which is rare in Hollywood. I loved her in the Corner TV series that Charles Dutton directed. I had a chance to work with her briefly and loved her approach to coaching actors. She's also very funny I might add. Would love to see her in more comedies. Totally underrated IMO.
Reply to this
Hey PDiddy, How are you doing Girl? Yes, isn't she funny...I absolutely love her.I will go see anything that she's in, and you're right she's underrated. I left the acting thing alone...I have done some acting but nothing major, all local Chicagoland projects. I guess I didn't want it that bad because, I gave up and stopped going on auditions. I decided that working behind the scenes is more for me.
So, I went back to school for Communications and will have my Bachelor's in a few more months...
Reply to this
Hey SheKnows, congrats on your bachelor in Communications. A few months is just around the corner. I majored in MassComm at CAU. The acting bug bit me a long time ago, but I had to "find a way or make one". So I'm Executive Producing my own projects now.
Maybe you should get into it again when you finish. Blessings and success to you in ChiTown.

PDCBH:
I know this is your conversation with my girl SheKnows, but I wanted to say that I love it when we understand that we need to make things happen for us instead of letting things happen to us. By Executive Producing your own projects, you have more control. Choose quality projects and make us proud.
You are appreciated.

Blessed, I agree Kelly has the better Vocal ability than Ciara. The fact that the producers gave the role to Ciara says that they don't see Kelly as an A-lister.( could be another reason)...
Now let's turn the table. If Kelly is nominated for an award and doesn't win... I wonder if Bee will support her and be disappointed if kelly is overlooked ?
Reply to this
And I totally agree, as I stated above, they gave the role to the person that was the hottest.
But no disrespect to Ciara, they will need to dub her singing voice with Kelly's because she is the better singer. If you notice, Ciara sings all fast songs, just like J-Lo, the real test is the ability to belt out a slow ballad, which neither one of them can do. And I sounded really good on Ciara's CD,but it was apparent that she could not sing. I also got a copy of one of J-Lo's CDs, there was an old classic that she tried to remake, cant remember the name of it, but if I was the legend that made that song, I wouldve slapped her for insulting her and her fans with that ish. It was a telltale sign of her inability to sing. But the stuff that she did with JaRule was HOT!

It could be Usher and Tameka but honestly my first thought was Jay Z and Beyonce.Both couples could still be considered newly weds and both guys have been rumored to be stepping out on the side anyway!

I really think this is Usher. Rumors have been circulating that Usher is already tired of Tameka, and that he has been spotted on date with some model like chick. WGCI here in Chicago dished good Hollywood dirt too...
I know Tameka is supposed to be related to Jamie Foster Brown and word is nobody likes her...
Reply to this
I saw Usher with a pretty model not to long ago in Atlanta. There were in a restaurant, in a corner and went out the back when they finished. I also heard he is tired of Tameka. Because of a prenuptial, she had a baby to make sure she gets paid, she's a hustler and Usher was blackmailed to marry her, she has something on him.
Reply to this
ATL , I can just guess what she has on him too...One of the posters that frequents PR posted that Usher went on a date with a Male that they know !!!! That's not hard to believe because, before he was relevant Johnetta allowed him to go live with PDiddy, and Pdiddy supposedly turned Usher out...Tameka has a shady past and Tom Joyner talked about it, her, as well as some other things... Usher threatened Tom Joyner and Tom said bring it on and Usher ain't nobody scared of you,lol...Tom and the morning crew cracked jokes on that one...I listen to V-103 a lot, and when possible I get to attend some of their events my friend is a DJ there. One of my classmates is a producer for WGCI...

How can someone black mail you into marriage? He chose to marry her,regardless of what his reason was for doing so it was still his choice! He could have broke up with her long ago and moved on! She cant possibly have any more on him than anyone else who works or worked closely with him! The bisexual rumors are already circulating , without her input!People will talk anyway!I respect your opinion, and enjoy reading the different views of all the posters(whether I agree or not) .I just think it has become too easy for people to say "She trapped him" He doesnt seem to regret the birth of his son, and if he does protection was an option for both him and Tameka! Make no mistake about it .I'm not insinuating that Tameka is without her own skeletons/past but Usher is a grown man who made a grown man decision to impregnate and marry a woman. He did so without regard to what his friends/fans or even mama might have thought of it. Its his life to live,and if this marriage is a mistake he will have to find that out on his own!
Reply to this
You know what I was thinking about their marriage? I was thinking that maybe Tameka is okay with his bi-sexuality and Usher is okay with her shady past? I think Usher has enough money to "fix" someone who is blackmailing him..Maybe he wanted to get married and have the convential family and found someone who is open to his lifestyle. Or I could be totally naive

very good point Lina B! You might be on to something!Whats news to the public may not be news to those close to him or in the industry!

I really believe that people say those things about Tameka for no reason other than she looks like a "regular black woman" and regular black women are so accustomed to being rejected and told they are not good enough--that they can't accept that a famous black man would find Tameka "good enough".
It is sad to me--nobody wants to accept that it could be Beyonce-- I guess women who look like her are too "beautiful" to be married to a cheater--but Usher and Tameka are not even "recently married" and everyone assumes its them.
Reply to this
@ Cocoa Peach;
I don't necessarily agree that the things out there about Tameka are solely because of her looks. But trust, I clearly understand the point that you are making. Tameka doesn't fit 'trophy'. How many times have 'we' been shocked to hear that the Halle Berry's, Mariah Carey's, Chante Moore's etc. have been dogged by men? It's because they are the standard of beauty for many Blacks. It's 2008 and we still don't want to be real about our own prejudice and bias when it comes to complexion. We can call THEM out on it but when it's one of US it's trivialized and dismissed. It shouldn't be that way and we've made strides but the light skin/dark skin friction is alive and well. We can say the white man set the blueprint but we keep the mass production going. Just letting you know I hear you.
Reply to this
Hello French~ Thanks for the shout out...and to the rest of the PR Peeps~ I hope everyone had a good hump day.
I don't think people have a problem with Tameka's look as much as she likes to state that they do. From the outside it appears that she just up and bounced from her husband leaving her other children behind. There has yet to be an interview where she talks about her other children. In one interview I can remember her being quoted as saying she didn't want any girls because she doesn't like them. What's sad about that statement is that I believe she has a daughter. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I think it is easier for her to say its because people think I'm plain or dark that folks don't like me. If you make it a light skin vs dark skin issue then its easier for her to get sympathy and it works because it is so divisive.
When folks think of all the women he could have married. Not many people would have thought it would be an older woman with 3 kids and a husband already regardless of how she looks.

You made good points because I have never heard that kind of backlash heaped on Denzels' wife or Samual Jackson's wife. Nor on Alfre Woodard, Oprah and there are several NBA, NFLers who are married to the everyday, average and above average attractive Black Women and they do not get the kind of response that Tamkea does. I think the issue might be Tameka herself...

I guess its because Pauletta Washington and Latanya Jackson were with their rich and famous men prior to their success so they cat pin that" scheming gold digge tag on them", liek they do the women who hook up with men after the fame &$$!
Reply to this
That seems true for Latonya, I think people have always felt that her and Samuel complement each other. I have never felt that either one was more attractive than the other or wonder how they got together. They are equally attractive. Now I beg to differ with Pauletta I do recall people saying that she was not attractive enough to be with Denzel. I think that people have accepted her more now then they did back in the 90's. People were did not go as far as they did with Tameka but I think that is only because this is a different time.
People love Oprah and she can clean-up really well but I will never forget an episode of her show where they showed what she does to get ready for the show. Let's just say without her hair done and make-up Oprah looks dead on "Sophia"...Not Sophia with "Buster" but "Sophia" after the sheriff and the town folk jumped her.
Reply to this
OMG MsTee-I just spit my tea out. I couldn't agree with you more but "after the sheriff and the town folk jumped her". Wow
Reply to this
I respect everyone's viewpoint but the mention of Pauletta Washington really reinforces my original point. I cannot count how many times I have read negative comments about Pauletta's appearance, her photos, his cheating etc. And with the exception of this blog (this blog really is the only one where the posters don't disrespect the celebs and I appreciate that environment), posters tend to disregard Pauletta and almost excuse Denzel's cheating. Nobody says "his wife is soooooooo beautiful...there is no way he is cheating..." but instead they almost seem to think aloud "well--look at his wife--I understand..I love you Denzel. It is a disregard for her because she doesn't fit the mold.
I'm not saying that Tameka doesn't have a "stank" attitude. She may indeed. But we read about other people with "stank attitudes" all the time and we don't decide that she must be the cause of the man's cheating.
Men (and women) cheat because they WANT to and because their partner lets them get away with it. Jay Z was a player before he met Beyonce and unless something has happened to affirmatively change that--he is a player still.
He is no less likely to play on her than Usher is on Tameka and the facts of this BI tend to indicate Beyonce and Jay more because of the "recent rash of celeb marriages" and "quickie marriages". I do not recall Usher and Tameka's marriage being a quickie. People were up in arms about it for months before it happened.

Excerpt..
Though forced to admit the alleged victim won't testify on its behalf, the prosecution passionately outlined a case based on a 27-minute tape in which authorities say the Grammy winner engages in a variety of sexual acts with a girl as young as 13.
Kelly's attorneys—who have spent years denouncing the tape and fighting to keep a jury from seeing it—countered the prosecution's allegations with a stunning embrace of the video. In a dramatic opening that matched the prosecution's passion line for line, they said the same VHS tape that spurred a 14-count indictment will ultimately set Kelly free.
A mole on Kelly's back, they said, will prove he's not the man in the video.
"Can they prove Robert Kelly made this tape?" attorney Sam Adam Jr. said in a booming, indignant voice. "They can't because it's not him."
Before the screening, the prosecution warned jurors that the scenes would be graphic.
"You will see that child perform acts you've never seen before," Boliker said. "Everything was written, directed and choreographed by Robert Kelly."
The tape begins with a man handing the female participant money as a commercial for a home refinancing company plays in the background. At his instruction, the female dances for him while "Everybody" by the Backstreet Boys plays on the room's sound system.
At times, he can be heard telling her to "dance faster, baby," before instructing her to urinate for the camera. The female often refers to him as "Daddy" while the two engage in dirty talk.
The two pause briefly when a Spice Girls song comes on the radio and the man stops to change the station. The video ends with the man urinating and finishing the sex act.
The poorly lit video makes it difficult to distinguish any birthmarks or moles on the man's back when played in real time. At one point, the man turns his entire back to the camera, and he does not appear to have a mole.

Julissa is so desperate to have a baller, she will take a woman beating man just to say a baller is marrying her. Larry has at least 3 women on the side at all times and Larry and Jay-Z, that friendship, something ain't right about it. Jay acts jealous over him and goes on the attack for him. He doesn't even do that for his wife Bey. Julissa is another one who has a problem with black women only. She can have her brute, ain't no black women checking for him.

Well Julissa must have serious self esteem issues to #1 marry a man whipping her ass and #2 seeking validation through her relationship with a baller.Never heard about issues with black woman,but if its true than seems to me that she has alot more to concern herself with than "black women"lolCant feel too much pity for the Julissas of the world because these women know what theyare delaing with and are still willing to step into the furnace for publicity,$$ $, or lavish lifestyle!Yeah they benefit in certain ways ,but ultimately pay the price!Hope her price isnt too high!

IMHO: for all those who keep saying Jay does not speak on his dedication to Beyonce, you are way off the mark.
JayZ has written whole songs about Beyonce and she has done the same. Their dedication is not untold, they just refuse to let the press in all the way. It is obvious that they were in a long term serious relationship and they did not have a quickie marriage. They planned all the details very last minute but I am pretty sure close friends and family knew the date. They rushed all the things that tips the press off, not the wedding itself. That was a smart move, because it is always someone in the florist, caterer, photographers staff that blabs before hand for money.

Yes, We have always heard that Jay is/was a player, but I was remarking on the fact that they DO discuss their dedication to each other in their own way.

Hi Lioness
I was saying that it seemed last minute becasuse they waited to contact the service industry for the party. The places that leak the details of your event in advance are in that service industry and do it for money beforehand and the press after the event has taken place. Once they can go on record and say "My company provided the flowers for the wedding"

Hey! Does anyone remember when the Russ Parr morning show had people calling in to tell of their sexcapades with celebrities? This was a few years ago but the names that caught my attention then were Allen Iverson, Monica and Jay-Z. The woman who called in about Jay-Z gave a vivid description and when they asked what year did it happen, I think she said 2002 or 2003. Parr mentioned that JayZ was already involved with Beyonce at the time and the caller said, "I know."
Maybe she was just a groupie trying to start trouble but I can't help but believe her.

I think it's Usher because he still cheats..he has a righthand friend named Josh who runs interference so Tameka is none the wiser..He's slowed down but he has not changed..come tour time it's a wrap..although Tameka will be there, she can't be EVERYWHERE..yes she's insecure but she shouldn't be..usher will never leave the mother of his child under any circumstances and it will be hell to pay if she leaves and tries to take that baby..he's more in love with being a father than a husband..Jonetta will literally kill her and ALL of Tameka's demons will be laid out

Since he called off the wedding then ended up having the shotgun wedding anyway I say it's either Usher Raymond, Tony Parker or Jay Z
HA HA HA Hey Yall maybe it's Nick Cannon.
If these guys are going to continue to play the fields then they just shouldn't get married.
I mean it just doesn't make any sense to get married and still live like your single.
I hope Janet Jackson is paying close attention just in case she marries that little troll of a man who's been hanging around her for the past couple of yrs.
I mean it would be hubby #3 for her and with something as ugly as Jermaine Dupree it's not like the third times the charm.

Nick Cannon IS that rich. Check on his business stats, not his acting stats. Nick Cannon commands the juice in Hwood and yes he wants to be the next Will Smith and he has what it takes to get there. Someone also said up above that women do not flock to Nick Cannon, WRONG. Women most definitely do flock to Nick "Money" Cannon. Nick Cannon has money flowing from production deals and many other behind the scenes businesses. He dsnt have Mariah money however, how many men do? Mariah has been in the game since 1990, making bank. Nick is doing his thing building his empire on the low,Make no mistake about that. Smart for not being all Flossy Flossy with it like so many other ignorant fools.

Good morning everyone!!!! @ nubian i'm so sick of r. kelly's ass. This is ridiculous. He is really trying to get out of these charges that he went as far as saying that he has a mole on his back so he can't be the man in the video!!! This fool has been doing this since i was a teenager and people have always looked the other way. I know of 2 girls who had abortions by him and he paid them very well for doing it and they also said that he doesn't like to wear condoms either which was stupid for all parties involved. None of this mess that he's doing surprises me at all.
Reply to this
I hate to say I think this is Jay & Bey. Tameka doesn't strike me as the "clueless" type. I think she's always got her eye on Usher. Just because we don't see her in the photos doesn't mean she's not lurking in the shadows somewhere. Something tells me he is on a short leash. I don't see this being Nick & Mariah either. Nick is still fascinated and living out his schoolboy fantasy of having Mariah Carey as his wife. The BI merely mentions quickie marraiges. It doesn't say that the BI couple were a quickie marraige. Besides, wasn't there a video out within the last couple of years of Jay and his boys in the company of two girls getting it on? He looked like he was really enjoying that too.

Good morning PR Fam! **waving hello, as I sip my Sweet Tea from Mickey D's**
Got a little blip of something Bey has said:
Your girl Bey is finally acknowledging her situation:
“I don’t deny it (the wedding). I just don’t talk about it. We’ve never talked about us and it’s kind of protected our relationship. I think it’s kept us out of tabloid drama. A lot of actresses that have had successful relationships don’t talk about them, so neither do I.”
With that being said, I think this may be Usher and Maneater oops I mean Maneka aka (I got something on you boo) Tameka. IMO

I need more clues! Also the clueless wife should stop discussing her bedroom business with her "friends".
One of the first rules of marriage or any successful relationship, is to build a fortress.

Hey LaLa, I think PR reports on everyone now...If my memory serves me right someone from staff posted they were now going to report on everyone? Paris please bring clarity when time permits... I don't think there's anymore friends of the site. But, if they still honor the friends of the site... I can definitely understand because I wouldn't report negative things on my friends either.

You know ice cream always goes well with the children (at least most of the time)....
Reply to this
Yeah sure does, and I like this new place on 95th called Cold Stone Creamery. They haven't been opened that long and they are delicious with flavors I hadn't heard of.They make their own waffle cones. I will probably take them there to the park by my house. They are too funny and sing all the while we're in the car. I always take them somewhere so they can have fun, learn, and be exposed to various things...
Reply to this
Oh SNAP! Cold Stone Creamery is the BOMB! Do people even say that anymore? Yeah, that would make for a good day. Ice Cream and the park, sounds fun. I'll have to wait until the weekend to do something outdoors with my kids.....Our weather is still kinda sucky.

How true and I am the thrifty queen. For example, when I take them to the movies before I hand I go to the Dollar Store or Walmart and rack up on snacks. I just carry a big bag inside the theater to put my snacks in. That movie candy and popcorn is high, and I have 6 neices and nephews with me...

Smart move She knows ! Save that $$$$$$.I hear you girl,because movie has become so d*amn expensive ,and esp if you have a whole family to take,that it really is a luxury! Popcorn and 1 drink might run you $10 easily so multiply that a few times and I can see your point!

Girl one time I took them to see Shrek and it was a couple about 2 rows in front of us heavy-petting and kissing. Inside a kids movie! I went and got one of the attendants.

Hey Lina,Sounds like you had a good time, that's nice.I come from a big family I have 2 brothers and 4 sisters. So, I know how to save and penny pinch. My mother taught us well. We weren't poor or anything ,but my parents knew how to budget and save.

We did have a ball but I was sore for sure the next day
Looks like we all believe in hitting up Dollar General or a Mickey D's Happy Meal in the big purse b4 we hit the movie. When my niece was a baby, I had my goodies in her diaper bag, personal pan pizzas from pizza hut. A HOT MESS at the Friday nite movies with a diaper bag and no baby...

It's Nick C.
Here's how the NY Post is reporting it:
NICK Cannon learned the meaning of "If you don't pay, you got no say" this weekend. Mariah Carey's new husband was trying to have a boys' weekend at Saturday's opening of the MGM Grand at Foxwoods with pals Sean Combs and Quincy Jones when he got a call from Carey. "He was summoned home by her at 1 in the morning," a source said. "He didn't look happy about it." A rep for Carey didn't return calls.

Am I the only one disappointed in Deans book I expected him to give out names but instead he just gave out clues but oh well..
Reply to this
Actually, I have a certain level of respect for him for not naming names. I have to respect the fact that as he stated, this book was about his life and his story. Simply because he is out doesnt mean he needs to disrupt other folks lives by outting them. Although, we may be able to make educated and uneducated guesses about who they are, neither him nor them have to acknowledge them, thereby keeping the secret of each of them. If he had named names, he wouldve been considered an azzhole, just like Karrine, but instead he is still to be respected for respecting the private lives of others. My hat is off to him for sharing HIS story with us and not necessarily sharing the stories of others. I keep reading on this blog that so many are disappointed in his book because he didnt name names and some wish they hadnt spent their money for the book, etc. and truthbetold, the nosey side of me wishes he had named names also, but the practical, compassionate, understanding side of me says I understand why he didnt, it was a very good reason and I am bynomeans disappointed in him or his book. If he decides to give us a part 2 to this book, I will most definitely pre-order it as well. Because lets just face it, PR has been able to guess most of them anyways, so I'm sure we will have no challenge with part 2.
Reply to this
Blessed, Very Well said I agree. In all honesty we would all LOVE for Terrance to just name them.In my mind, I was thinking Hell I got to unveil the BI's on PR, now this book,lol. But, you're right I respect that too. Especially, if he is still friends with some of them and I'm sure he is...They may not be ready to come out even though they are WRONG for being deceitful to their wives and girlfriends.I let my friend read it and she said Terrance should name names, so their wives would know they're in danger. She raised a good point too? Karrine was bold for naming names and although no one sued her, she was confronted on more than one occassion for naming those names...
Reply to this
He cannot name names if he still works in that industry. I agree that I would like for the wives to know and have the ability to make a choice but then all of the doors of future opportunity would be closed to him. Him naming names in his book would be like the CDC exposing the names of those with HIV, which they can't. Your friend raised a good point, but if I were him, I wouldnt do it any other way, because there is no other way. He would sacrifice his livelihood for some women who probably dont care anyways because they like the fame and the money that their significant other brings.

SheKnows,
Karrine wasnt bold, she was messy. LOL

Hey Blessed, I agree she was and is very messy. But, I still think it's bold to name names especially when she had been with married men...

Apparently the NY Post doesn't know that Nick had his own money before Mariah came along. He doesn't have Mariah Carey money by a long shot but he does have that money from those kiddie shows. They should check with Raven Symone to how profitable that can be.
Reply to this
But he doesn't even have Raven money. That girl had deals like those Olsen twins and money from the Cosbey Show still coming in like crazy because it's on everywhere.
She can definitely expose him to a lifestyle that he's not accustomed to because 3-5 million between Hollywood, New York, Aspen, Cannes, etc.....doesnt last too long. And did he just buy a 100 grand Maserati?
Reply to this
No disrespect, but it's 1 A.M. how long does a married man need to be out in order to have fun? It was time for his azz to take it on home, she shouldnt have had to call him, he shouldve known. But he still has some growing to do.
Reply to this
Blessed, LMAO.
Reply to this
Yeah a married out @ 1:00am having fun without his wife is TROUBLE.
He should have had his azz in the house hrs ago.
HEY FAIR IS FAIR if he can stay out til 1:00am she can stay out until 1:30 R 2:00am having the same kind of fun. And aint no need in him looking all crazy when she gets home. I know two wrongs done make it right so if he don't want her out late with her friends then either bring his married azz home at a decent hr or have her out late having fun with him

My husbands friends always talk about how hard it is to find a woman who cooks. I always thought it was just something that almost all women did for their family. I never knew it was a rarity now a days. Guess I'm gettin old or am old fashioned.

Hi TechnoGeek, I have 3 locations that I frequent for good meats. I go to"Moo&Oink"on 82nd Racine, and their oxtails were between $9-12 per pack with about 6-8 pieces per pack...
Then there's "One Stop" over in Bronzeville they are located at 4301 s. LakePark Avenue. Their oxtails are $4.50 per pound.
Pete's Produce is also good for meats. I like the one on 43rd Pulaski...

Say it again out that late is nothing but trouble waiting to pop off! I had a girlfriend make all kinds of comments because I headed for home at 11ish one girls night. We had been out since 7:00pm. That was long enough to eat, have drinks, chat and dance a few. I told her it is about respect not controlling each other. When I walk out the door, I mention who. what, when and how long I will be gone. He does the same. Too me, midnite is crossing over to out all night. He dsnt do it and neither do I, therefore he has never had to call me and vice versa. Every couple has to find their rhythm but if yu have to be reminded to come home, then you got some issues!
Reply to this
Hey LinaB, I like that dynamic. One of my closest friends is married and whenever we go out and I know it's something that will have us home late, I always grill her before we go to make sure it's still cool. I'm very respectful of the fact that although I'm footloose and fancy free, she can't keep the same hours I do like we did before she got married.
Reply to this
You sound like a great friend. Being married really does change things or it should, if you are serious. When things get rough or I find myself thinking of ME, ME, ME then I know my mind is not focused on US. It is funny because my husband went bowling with some guys from work and he had left a note at home,called my cell and called the house to leave a voice message. My husband said the guys who were happy w/their women understood while the ones who were "unhappy" tried to call him henpecked.
Reply to this
I don't always agree. My husband and I have very different interests and friends and we often stay out late if we ever decide to go out without each other. I made the mistake of not hearing my phone ringing and I got an earful from him, more because he was worried that something happened to me.
I don't do the grilling thing because it immediately says that I don't trust him. His last woman cheated on him something awful, and he tried grilling me on stuff until I told him that is the best way for me to walk out of the door. I think trust is the key-- you know when you can't trust someone and you know when someone is lying to you, even if you don't want to believe it. If someone wants to cheat, they will do it no matter if it is 3 in the afternoon or 3 in the morning.
Reply to this
@ UK Blackgirl I was sharing my experience and I appreciate yours, but notice I said above "Every couple has to find their own rhythm." It is true people can cheat at anytime and it is very true that what works for one couple will not work for another. Bottom line my husband and I don't really stay out too late without each other and if this pattern changed up, then yes it may indicate a problem.
Reply to this
I hope you didn't think I was crticizing you, cos I wasn't. I agree that no couples are alike. To be honest, we don't really go out without each other and even when we do go out together, we are home at a sensible hour. More to do with our ages (30 & 38) and the fact that since you can drink at 18 here, bars and clubs are full of the very young and it holds no appeal any more. I can't take the loud, banging music for one. Damn, I sound like my mama now!
Reply to this
Hi UK, Not at all, I just didn't want anyone to think I was giving marital advice, just talking bout my house. I am with you on the turning into ur Mother thing, because last time I was in the club I was thinking to myself, "this music is too dang loud". I was also calculating how much snooze time I could get to myself on the comfy couch if I left the club at such and such time and what would be on the bigscreen as I nodded off. I have to watch Will& Grace and Family Guy before I go to deep sleep

Hey Peaches! I have a single friend like that too...She will call me at home late, and if my husband answers she will jokingly ask if it's ok. My husband will say it's all good. Also,my husband and I will call each other if we're going to be out a little late. However, as a married couple we don't do clubs OR hang out all after hours ?
We have an understanding, and we love and respect each other.
Reply to this
Hey Sheknows, Most of my married friends have only been wed 3 years or less, so I don't call them at night at all.
Reply to this
My best friend is single and I am married, she could not be my best friend if she didnt understand and respect the fact that I respect my husband, marriage and kids. If I go out without my husband, I wont do it two nights in a row. I dont have misunderstandings with men, even the NFL, NBA players etc. know what time it is. If we have a misunderstanding, it is because they wanted to have one. My best friend respects that and our other friends would like me to flirt more so that they can get more free stuff, I can buy what I want even though I dont have to. So those friends dont hang with us too much.
Consequently, I had a friend whose husband had a low self-esteem, and I knew it. The first thing I said to her was, if he ever felt uncomfortable about us being friends, the friendship was over. I was not there to cause confusion in anyone's home, and I know that sometimes its difficult for a man to watch his wife become friends with someone who has it together and her husband provides well and he doesnt. With that said, he started to dislike me and actually left her because I came over one evening to bring her a T.D. Jakes video to watch because she was depressed. At that moment, I gave her all of the money that I had in my pocket and assured her, I would talke to him, but when he comes back home, our friendship would be no more. Needlesstosay, he came back home and apologized, we remained friends only for a short while after that. Because he only liked me being friends with her, if I was helping them buy grocery, etc. I will help a woman with kids, but I refuse to help support a woman with kids and a man. My thought was, if he had been okay with me, we couldve remained friends, but he was not gonna dislike me and freeload off of me, hell no! I feel bad now, because I heard she has had a nervous breakdown.

I would imagine that most happily married couples find it easier to hang out with other happily married couples more so than single people!COuld be wrong & I'm not married myself but just seems that it would be less tension and single peopel tend to have a different mindset at times. This is especially so ,when the single friends are trying to encourage you to get down liek they do!
Reply to this
Actually, married couples do find it easier to hang with other married couples, but sometimes the individuals in the marriage need separate time from each other in order to keep things fresh and new. As a married woman with a single best female friend, I never wouldve imagined being best friends with her because she is single. But as other friends fell off because of loyalty, etc. she was the one that remained true and never changed. She never mistook my kindness for weakness and could appreciate my positive attitude. I didnt find out until later that she was a pessimist and had never seen anything positively until she met me. But it is working so far because she respects my marital status and I dont judge her single status.

Well that mutual respect that you both have for oneanother will be an asset to your continued friendship!
Reply to this
I was single for a many years (had fun too).. I always had respect for my friend and her relationship which were frequent. I suggested that she should take time off from jumping in and out of relationships because she keeps choosing the same type of man. Well, wasted breath anyway she is in a relationship again and I respect her commitment. She wanted me to visit her last summer (her boyfriend lives in her house) I told her sure but I would stay in a hotel. After deep thought I changed my mind and stopped off to see her for lunch while passing through town going on vacation. I always respect.
She came to my city this weekend for her B-Day (things aren't going well with her relationship). I did not know she was coming to town until she called me. I was out with my BF when she called. She asked could I pick her up and drop her off somewhere. My BF is very laid back and understanding so he agreed because he knows we have been friends for a long time. We picked her up and she dropped her off. She called me upset that I did not leave him to hang out with her. The next day I had plans with my niece to take her to zootopia (all day event) I told her when I am finished I will meet you at your party venue. When I reached the city it was 1:30am I dropped my niece off. My BF called and of course we met up and went to the venue. She was upset and looked distressed. My BF did not even stay at the same table he went downstairs to the dance floor. She wanted to leave and I told her I don't know what your problem is but I have always supported your relationships. I understand I have always been available to hang and party even when you weren't I always respected your decision to leave early and I always took you home when you left. If you have a problem with my HEALTHY relationship then that’s your problem. If your Fiancé did not want to spend your birthday with you that’s your problem. I did not know you were coming to town and My BF and I had plans already after the zootopia was over. I told her respect my relationship or we can no longer be friends.
People can be funny. Sometimes I think its jealousy because their relationship is not working or because they are alone. I never had a problem with being single because I it was my choice not to date seriously. I always respected peoples boundries. I try not to go out with my friends and their BF unless its a special event. Not being funny but their boyfriends always try to hit on me. I always said something but now I am wondering do you tell your friend about the behavior. I think telling has put a strain on some relationships.

Hi Candi,
I think relationships can be tricky to manage when the other person is not happy overall. To me your friend is looking for a misery loves company type of situation. Your happy and she isn't, might be time to be her friend "from a distance".
Reply to this
Candi,
Misery loves company. And your friend is just wrong to suggest that you upset your relationship for her, because truthbetold, when your relationship isnt working and hers is, she wont be breaking her dates to console you.
I had a best friend years ago, she was married and my husband and I were engaged. At the time, she made more money than me. She asked me to go shopping with her, but I didnt want to to. My husband, then fiance at the time, found out I wasnt going and forced me to go. He said he wasnt gonna have her thinking she had something on me. Hell, I've never cared what others thought of me as long as I felt good about me. But anyways, he gave me 4 credit cards and said he wanted me to go. I went but told her that he had given me a $1000 limit. She actually said, and he probably thinks he has done something by giving you that. (I later found out, I really didnt have a limit, he was just testing me to see if I was a gold digger). We went shopping and she bought one blouse, and her husband had given her $50, asked for something that cost $10 and wanted his change back. My husband already knew, there is never any change and he wouldnt be asking for it either. All of her comments after that were negative and she refused to be my matron of honor when we got married. I always tell my kids that people can't help how they feel and why they feel that way. Envy and Jealousy are strong emotions. But I can meet anyone where they are and still be cool with them.
I probably wouldnt tell my friend that her man hit on me unless he keeps it up, but after I tell his ass what he needs to hear, I promise, he wont want to do it again. I've been there before, and play no games when it comes to loyalty. I dont have misunderstandings such as that.

Blessed woman sounds like your friend was a lil green with envy.
I have never been upset or angry /jealous with my friends and family when they were involved in relationships.If they are happy than I am happy for them!
Reply to this
Yeah, I found out she was very green. This one was classic though. I like to joke a lot, a part of my positive outlook on life. But I was talking to her and one other of our friends that was a bridesmaid in my wedding, telling them this story and she was the only negative one to comment. I knew then she was too negative for me. I was joking the next morning at work that I had put it on my husband so good the night before that I woke up the next morning and there were 5 $100 bills on the dresser. It sounded funny when I said it and me and the other friend were laughing, but that particular friend had an attitude and said, "ugh, he paid you for sex." Hell, my thought was, better me than somebody else. The other friend that was laughing has always been positive and her man has never been faithful and never married her, but she has always been happy for me.

Ok since u went there, I must share this! I had been married 2 mnths when my husband frat brother was to have his bachelor party at a strip club. We agreed to have a co-ed bridal shower but no bachelor/bachlorette party since we were abstaining! So my husband asks me if he could go which was weird cause we dnt ask permission? So I said, do u not want to go and he said he wanted to go but on the flip side wldnt want me to go see male strippers so he knw it was wrong to want to go. I told him as a married woman I wldnt go see male strippers but I wnt stop him from going to celebrate with his boys. (
internally I knew this was a big test for our marriage). He called his boy and said man I will meet you all for drinks on me and we can play pool, bring your ladies and then Im out. I was so proud, well that night, we had the stip club at the house and yes I earned tips and did Xtra in the VIP room

Nice stories.

Wow! I dont have a personally have issue with Bachelor rette/bachelor party or even male &female strippers if things dont go too far and gert out of hand. However that is a personal decision for the couple to make,and if you both are uncomfortable with it, than I say that there are alternative ways to celebrate the upcoming marriage of someone.I have been to the bachelorette parties with the strippers,and also ones that didnt have strippers,and enjoyed myself equally at both!Oh and the comment that ya friend made about your husband treating you like a ho was so unnecessary! I see nothing wrong with a woman putting on a priivate show for "her man" !I wonder why she said that.People say and do some strange things!
Enjoyed your stories too Blessedwoman.

cocoa,
Since my husband and I have been married, I arranged with his boss to have my husband and his co-workers come into the office for lunch, and I sent a stripper over to him. My friends asked me why would I do that, that is not something that you do for your husband, maybe your boyfriend. But, heck, on May 19th, we'd been together for 27 years and none of them still have the same man. Don't get me wrong, that isnt for everyone, but it was fun for us and made that particular night, spectacular.
People say and do strange things, but interpretation says she may be a hater or she may not know how to satisfy her man and keep it exciting.

Hi LinaB, U r a woman after my own heart. My husband LOVES it when I dance for him. He is a good man. He takes good care of me and our children. We have our moments but we have each other's back. We love to keep the spice in our marriage!! I had to learn the hard way about friends not being happy for you...a lesson learned better late than never!

Candi you didnt do anything wrong.Your friend had issues! I also agree with Lina B misery loves company! First of all you werent obligated to STOP your own plans because she decided to come to town by surprise! You had plans prior to her arriving!It was nice of you to stop what you were doing with your boyfriend to go and pick her up& drop her off!She should have been thankful and asked you to call her later to possibly make plans to hang out "if you had time". She should respect your relationship ,as you have done all of hers !Its funny how when some people are involved happily in a relationship like you ,they are ok with you spending quality time with your mate.However let them break up with who they are with and they are back on prowl and upset that you wont follow suit! I'm currently single and have observed this! All friends are like this!Some will appreciate your friendship and respect your relationship.This doesnt mean you cant hang with them at all anymore,but you now have someoen in your life that you also enjoy spending time with besides them!

I am not sure about the telling of men hitting on you. That situation can be real messy.
I once had 2 friends. I need to make up names here. Lisa newly married Bill. Lana has been married for 3 years to Rick.
Lana and Lisa are my friends. Lisa told me that Rick (married to Lana) has been hitting on her for the past 3 years. I didnt tell Lisa that Lana and Rick are already having marital problems (he been caught cheating w/another person). I told Lisa to cuss Rick out harshly and threaten to tell. Lisa wanted me to tell Lana.
I did not tell Lana because the worst has happened and she will not leave Rick, so y tell her more? I discussed telling with my husband, my parents (36 yrs married), another married couple in our set(married 8 years). They all felt that Lana knew the man she married and having busted him herself, she didn't leave so telling her this would not make a difference.
Reply to this
LinaB,
Telling her would only strain your relationship with her, because she isnt going to leave but now she has to look at you on the regular, knowing that you know she knows and wont leave. So soon she will start to avoid you. Don't tell her.
Reply to this
That was my take as well. I didn't want to add to her burdens and I felt she better than anyone else knows that her hubsand is not ready to "forsake" all others. My one word of advice for her was to realize that she still matters and that means she deserves to be happy regardless of what he is doing. We had that whole protection discussion also.
Reply to this
Lina, Coco and Blessed
Thank you all for your honest answers.
I was wishing that none of what you all discussed was the case. I was hoping that because I was always available and the status of that changed could be summed up to shock and a change. I always said I don't want a relationship nor do I want to get married (still feel the same about marriage). Maybe my being in a relationship was different and opposite of what I said in the past. I am taking blame aren't I...
I do have to distance myself from her to gain respect.
Yeah telling does strain a relationship the person I told is really distant with me now because I said something. I will never tell again.

my 2cents...BI B&Jay
i am not a fan of beyonce, i think she is over-rated, over exposed and tries too hard to be more than she is (she is trying her hardest to win an oscar and will stop at nothing to do so), its a classic case of parental pimping. jayz has amassed a fortune, good for him,i like his flow but something is off with him, money doesn't take away all your flaws. she is a virgo and he's a sag, they are not compatible. i think they will try to save face by sticking together since they've already come this far. but whateva
poor usher, i think he could use a hug, he's caught up.
Reply to this
Granted you are not a Beyonce fan but there is nothing wrong with having ambition to win awards?? Everyone in this business myself included wants to win an award and some accolades! Not a case of parental pimping when the Public, stans for you. Parental pimping can only go so far and Beyonce has gone way beyond that. No need to comment on their marriage because it is their marriage and apparently no one has the inside track on that but them. Everyone walking this earth has flaws, money or no money.
Reply to this
Bey is trying too hard to be more than what she is? And that's wrong because? Should she just stay the way YOU want her and not have any further ambitions? Her being ambitious is what got her to where she is today. I only have one DC cd but I've always admired how driven Bey is. It's too bad that her aspirations bother you so much.
Reply to this
there is nothing wrong with being driven and ambitious, most people aspire to be succesful and u need those attributes to make it. however, there are some people who crave the limelight and will bankroll a project just to make it more about them as apposed to shedding light on an issue or to tell a story. take queen latifah and LL for example, they actually do really good jobs in music and acting, they seem natural with it, cannot say the same for bey, her acting just comes accross as something else to jump into and
play off her celebrity. i might not be a fan but i admire her ferocity, in fact, i support all AA who are doing the damn thing, but lets keep it real, her over-acting is not the business. alot of musician are crossing over now and alot of actors are feeling the pain of losing roles to not only other actors but also to crossover artists. but whateva
Reply to this
Thinking back on some earlier roles of Queen Latifah, LL, and Will Smith, I don't personally think any of them were just spectacular in the beginning. (Any first season ep of Fresh Prince, Living Single or In the House shows this.) But like BlessedWoman said above, the more you do it, the more practice you get and the better you become. Will, Latifah, and LL had the great advantage of being on a weekly show for several years so they were able to really polish their acting chops so they were able to move into movies almost seamlessly.
Reply to this
All of the people that you noted in your post were, IMO, far better actors starting out than Beyonce. I could watch Latifah, LL, and Will Smith, I could not watch Beyonce in a sitcom situation. She may get better over time, I don't know.
I believe the point the original poster was trying to make is that Beyonce is in fact a horrid actress, but was mad because she did not get an Oscar, or in the words of Kelly "she was robbed". She is clueless to the fact that she needs much much much MUCH more practice and believes that because she wants an Oscar she should get it. Having ambition is one thing, but being blind to the fact is something completely different.
Reply to this
LOL! I don't think I could see Bey in a sitcom either. I don't think Bey is anywhere near Oscar worthy at this point. I agree with the above poster that with some classes she can be pretty good b/c I do think she has potential.
I tell you what though reading your post did make me see one exception to my earlier theory: LisaRaye! Unlike the others I stated, she too was on a sitcom for several years, and I personally didn't think she was any better as an actress after the tv show than she was when I first saw her in Player's Club.

Different strokes for different folks. Beyonce puts on a wonderful show and every performance I've seen live she gives 100%x2. In Dreamgirls she did great- she was my favorite character. I don't believe she craves the limelight, I think she is driven to perform and wants her fans to have more of her. She loves music and performing and she does it well, so why not do what you love to do? She's also very positive and there is really nothing negative that can be said about her. That's what I like. She represents us and it's all very positive.
Reply to this
I think Ambition is a good thing for any person, male or female, famous or not. Having ambition keeps you from being stagnant and settling in your life.
As long as you retain some character while striving to meet your ambitions then cool. I like to see people fufill their goals and maximize their potential. It is more evidence of the abundance for all of us!
Reply to this
HI LB... How are you today?
I totally agree with your comment.
If some people were not ambitious they would be laying around doing nothing all day. Just like the people complained about collect taxpayers dollars.
I like Bey drive and determination. There is nothing wrong with goals and dreaming big. The thing is Bey is trying to make sure her dreams a fulfilled.
I was reading another site about a comment Tina Turner made and it pissed me off. She said something to the effect that Bey copied her and she will never be Rock n Roll. I thought be was an R&B artist who did Pop music. Leave the girl alone. That has to hurt Bey’s feelings because an Icon made that comment. Ummm I wonder how TT would have felt if Bey did not hold back during that awards show.
Making a comment like that is like telling a child they cannot be anything nor will they ever accomplish anything. My opinion is that is the problem with the AA community NO Support for each others interest, Dreams or goals.
Reply to this
Hi Candi, I am good and I hope you are. I am shocked by Tina saying this? Seems she would be above knocking another perfomer down. And u are right Beyonce did hold back when she was performing with Tina, it was out of respect and looked like good hometraining...like Respecting your elders. We have an Aunt who can not sing but she is the oldest and we let her open up our gatherings. I never sing until She, asks me to and then I tone it down. At other family gatherings when she is not there, then I release my inner Eartha Kitt, Chaka Khan, Lalah Hathaway, Maysa...

Reply to this
All comments made here are valid ones, what can i say? was right when she said money does not erase your flaws because it doesn't. Beyonce is not a supertalent, she can sing and dance and should leave it at that.
She is stealing acting roles from real actresses just because of name recognition and beauty, not because of her acting skills. From what I've seen, her acting is not of that calibre, she needs a whole bunch of acting and diction classes to snag an award. She's already typecast by playing singers.

Good Morning PR Fam, this is OT but does anyone get the feeling that Mariah married Nick Cannon because she wanted the media to back up off of her "friendship" with Da Brat. This whole smoke screen sham of a marriage is just a major cover-up for Mariah. The media and everyone else is focussed on her and Nick when her "real" is in the background. Just a thought?
Reply to this
could it be here biological clock is ticking and nick cannon is an ideal candidate for sperm donation? he has is own money and will not need alimony from her...maybe
Reply to this
Oddly, Mariah had just given an interview a few weeks before this sham marriage stating that she didn't want any kids - and that she felt that because of her life and things that happened to her -- she didn't want to be a mother and motherhood just wasn't for her. That's why this whole thing is strange. You saw the Da Brat more with her than you saw her with Nick Cannon. Mariah comes from a fairy tale made-up background - she learned from the master Tommy Mottola - so she wouldn't mind spending 4 million just to hide her real relationship. She just better hope Da Brat don't get drunk and bust Nick Cannon upside his head with a beer bottle. LOL!

LOL, hey lady k, u know what? mariah and da brat would actually make a more believable couple, people would believe that relationship more than this stunt with stick figure cannon

Morning LadyK, Yes I got the feeling and had it from day one. I agree with you 100%. We will be hearing about a divorce soon...I'm not wishing anything bad about them at all.

Hi Guys,
I found this on another site. Could this be some back up to the Mariah and Nick guess?
“Mariah Carey’s new husband was trying to have a boys’ weekend at Saturday’s opening of the MGM Grand at Foxwoods with pals Sean Combs and Quincy Jones when he got a call from Carey. ‘He was summoned home by her at 1 in the morning,’ a source said. ‘He didn’t look happy about it.’”
Possibility?

Hello Panache Insiders,
Special Shoutout to Sheknows, Southndiva,Cocoalatte, Blessedwoman, BUELAH,Art Chic, Golden Girl, Karamellabella and Facepainter.
Just wanted to say hello before I go back to lurking...Not sure about this bi.
I saw Trade and Cover over the weekend with my husband. They were both powerful movies. Being that our folks are from a third world country it especially hit home. Thank you Myra for the recommendation..Talk to everyone later.
Reply to this
What's up, French Fly? Thanks for popping in to say hello. Check this out.
My son jokes all the time and we saw Cover. He has a friend that is an actor, that most people know he is either gay or bi-sexual but he keeps telling my son, he isnt either but loves women. First the guy called my son at 10 P.M. and asked if he wanted to go have a glass of wine, my son told me he wasnt going because that sounded like a date. Then the guy called him and asked him to see a horror movie with him at midnight, my son was like, although thats the best time to see a horror movie, it wont be with him. Then he invited my son to a party, my son said he couldnt go because there might be a lot of dust at the party. LMAO. A group of them went to a dinner theater to support a friend of ours and the guy was there, among other gay guys, my son called me while he was there to say, "There is a lot of dust in the air in this dinner theater." All I could do is holler. My son isnt homophobic, but damned if that isnt the catch-phrase now, for DL jokes. But he and the guy had a business lunch yesterday, and it went well.LMAO
Reply to this
LMAO Blessed... You are funny... I watched cover with my BF as well. Now everytime one of his male friends calls past a 12am he wont answer the phone. He is suspicious of his male friends now. He'll say I don't know "C" I think its kinda dusty around these parts. I fall out laughing. That is his catch phrase now "its dusty around here lets leave" LMAO
Reply to this
Hi BlessedWoman,
That "dusty" story is hilarious! I have to tell you that the last story you told about the midnight Uno game has sparked some heated discussions with my friends. I took an informal poll and was surprised at how different people's reactions were to the same situation. Good stories, BW, keep 'em coming!
Reply to this
Peaches, that UNO game was at 2 A.M. not midnight. LMAO.
Girl, we came in late for a session for filmmakers at the film festival and didnt really know the filmmkers that were on the panel. We just saw 3 white guys talking about how they work together to help each other with their films. We had no idea their film was about gay gangbangers. Well, one of them saw my son and told him that he had a "scene" for him. Not a role, but a scene. My son looked at me and asked if I saw any dust in the air. LMAO. My answer was yes, then we found out he found my son attractive. He told us he uses straight guys all the time and one guy's wife found it sexy to see her husband kissing a man. I had to assure him that I wouldnt find it sexy to see my son kissing a man at all. So if he had any straight roles or know of any filmmakers with straight roles, holla. However, he will do the insinuation of gay, but not kissing, etc. (i.e. Dancing Darrin and Evan Ross in Life Support. they were gay but had no gay scenes)
Reply to this
I would NOT find it sexy to see my husband kissing another man!! NO NO NO
I have a close male friend who is flamboyantly gay and he knows he better not ever, ever tell me that he finds my husband attractive. When he calls the house my husband says Hello Dennis, here she is..phone quickly passed. When Dennis Mom died, my husband did express his condolences by adding "Hello Dennis, I am sorry about your Mom passing and Lina is here for you" phone quickly passed.

I forgot to ask, how many people wouldve gone to play UNO at 2 AM? What were the different reactions?

Good afternoon all! Still thinks its Ush and Maneka.
Hey FrenchFly, thanks for the luv!
Reply to this
It was a mixed reaction. (Keep in mind I've only asked a handful of people.) But there was the reaction of an immediate no, that's too suspect and what men play Uno late at night. Spades gets a pass though. But then I also got the reaction from a couple of people that maybe this dude had the "it's lonely at the top" feeling and just didn't like being alone. Another person said that they initially took as when you're really keyed up after a good party and you still want to do something to come down, like go to a diner/Waffle House or in this case play cards. What was the most surprising to me was that my friends who tend to be the most suspicious and on guard were the ones that were giving dude the benefit of the doubt, but the friend I just knew any inuendo would fly over her head gave me an immediate hell no! LOL! But again, it jumpstarted a great dialogue.
Reply to this
spades, Bid wisk, checkers, dominoes, none of that shit gets a pass at 2 A.M. If he had said lets all go to the waffle house, like some folks do, then cool. But if the ladies werent going, neither was my son. LOL. And it may very well be lonely at the top, but he was gonna need some females for my son to go. But all joking aside, my son did say, it couldve been innocent but he didnt feel comfortable after no ladies were going.

French Fly, my son and I are very gay friendly, it's jsut the DL that we have to be cautious of. All of our openly gay friends are cool with us and we have a lot of fun with them, but this guy is denying that he's gay, and that's uncomfortable. He will tell my son about everybody that's gay, but keeps denying that he is. Dont get it twisted, my son has been hit on by guys just as I've been hit on by females, but as long as they arent disrespectful, it's all good. But this guys seems to be trying to be subtle with it.

Heeeyy everyone!!! My cent and a half. Right or wrong I think this could be BeJay. By no means do I think she is stupid or blind to the fact of what has or is going on. How do we know, they may have agreed to an open marriage. Anythings possible.
Ersher, RUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNN!!!!!! Grodzilla is coming. Just kidding, I watched Godzilla last weekend, ya'll gave me a reason to tell somebody to run.
Has anyone seen the pictures of NicAriah at the amusement park. Nic closed the park down for about 100 of "his" friends (I don't think Ariah has any "true" friends). It was more staged than the beach pictures. Can you imagine her on a roller coaster with those stripe socks on or the stripe sock boots, that plaid skirt and shirt for a 2 year old on screaming Touch My Body? I hope this doesn't stay in my head all day.
Watched DL Chron and I'm about to quickly send it to one of the readers. What a waste IMO. Everything was bad. Cover is going in the library, it will not be shared unless you come to the crib. Actors/tress were better than norm. Script well written. She did it, naw, Viv did it, nawww Leon did it, naw Viv did it cause she's taking the pictures, NAWWWW NOT LEON, nawwww OH NO SHE DIDN'T....I don't know why you didn't think of her....rented Trade but could not bring myself to look at it. I cry too much when it involves children.
Speaking of which, there is nothing wrong with the grandbaby, it's her mother and father. 24 hours with a real Gma and I have not heard any complaints since.

Hi CoCo.. I saw Janet in concert and she is awesome. She uses a lot of theatrics and dances continuously. I loved her show and will try to attend this tour when it comes to my city.
Madonna has a sexually charged show but still good none the less. She dances and she is quite funny while performing. She has a lot of energy. I would like to see her show again too.
CoCo you are correct when you state that record sales are at an all time low. I don't think record sales will increase or ever reach the heights they did before digital down loading. The industry has to start challenging some of the laws that prevent them from coding internet releases or simply create a site like I-Tunes and charge higher prices for downloads. Do not allow other sites to album or singles unless the site charges in accordance to the music company guidelines.
The music industry helps maintain the economy like all other industries. First America needs to stop outsourcing every factory job to other countries. Last year toy companies took a major hit during the peek season for sales due to lead found in imported products. Things need to change and fast. I read on another site that the homeless rate has increase and in several states parking lots have been set up as makeshift campsites for homeless people living in their cars. This is sad and not a good look for the US. I do understand there are more variables to the state of the economy but something has to give for the American citizens.

JJ is awesome in concert but she refuses to age gracefully and she's still trying to compete with singers young enough to be her daughter. I think some of the tour will be cancelled due to poor ticket sales like Mary J. in Europe, a few shows are cancelled. Mary trying to take on all the work she can to pay for that 12 million dollar home and support her husband and his two or three kids, smh.
Reply to this
Hey Madison! The industry almost forces seasoned entertainers like JJ to compete with the younger generation of singers, because they are the "IT" thing! I think Janet gets respect as a veteran, because shes earned the right to that respect and has proven her staying power20+yrs .Alot of other entertainers that were popular when she got started are pretty much considered washed upand nowhere to be seen or heard ,other than when someone plays their music!As for Mary I say do what ya gotta to do (within reason)to pay the bills, because a mortgage for a mansion, and the luxury lifestyle doesnt come cheap, if you want it!I have never heard much about Mary being a writer so I think that others write her music and she performs it. She will have to tour and perform to keep the money coming in!Onlly avid song writers & own their own publishing like Baby face, Mariah,etc have the option to not tour and still keep money rolling in!

Sorta OT: Tina Turner is touring again. She is headed to DC. Her tickets went so fast I don't think they even went on sale. If entertainers like Janet, Tina, Maze etc. go into retirement I really will not have anything to do.

Hey Candi! I think s JJ should continue to tour and perform as long as there is a demand to see her and shes still selling tickets and has the love& energy for performing!She looks great,(to me) and appears to be in great shape so why not? If others older than her liek Cher and Patti and Tina & Diana Ross among other performer/singers can still tour and do their thing why shouldnt she! I always loved her music (well most of it anyway) over the yrs )but really appreciated her as an artist when I saw her live! She may not be selling as much these days (record wise) but she still puts on a hell of a show and has quite the faithful following!
Reply to this
CoCo.. Yeah I would still go see her perform the concert would be about 4 hours if she did her chart topping songs. She has a dedicated following.
She can do it. I don't know if she should do a Vegas show and stop trying to put out new music.
Reply to this
Maybe part of the problem is that there is just bad music out there. I don't feel compelled to buy or download anything. I used to buy music all the time, but now I don't, too much ear garbage. Also, probably the age group that the music industry is targeting is also faster to download illegal copies, because they are broke
Reply to this
LOL Ida... True... Your statement is on point music is bad and targets a younger crowd. They won't really sign an older artist to appeal to the older listener. Nice spin on the state of music
Reply to this
Okay, maybe not even an older artist. How about a younger artist that can sing about something other than "dranks" and "da club"? How about music that is original? How about someone that can sing a nice slow song? How about someone I can feel? I don't know, I am just not feeling most music now. Where is the originality???? How about someone who truly loves his or her craft for the craft?

I purchased all C.D. Mentioned except AK never really liked her jingle music. Only a few songs of her register with me.
The problem is the music is called Neyo-Soul.. I thought this was R&B music. Is it Neyo soul because the lyrics are more conscience?

And why do the stations only play the same 6 songs? I guess I know why ... I actually like Amy Whinehouse, it is just literally painful for me to look at her.

Re: Your comment about outsourcing... I agree with you. It's leading the US into a clear as day class society of the have it all-have not's. All the customer service jobs, tech jobs etc are all being either outsourced to the poorer parts of the US or completely out of the states, and that's shutting a lot of people out from finding work or keeping their jobs and feeding their families. That's one issue I would love for the candidates from both sides to speak on.

Its funny how when they are being so negative its always about how someone looks are about how they are suppose to feel. You can't tell nobody who to like? And you cant tell them how to feel? I mean why cant it be that Mariah really does love nick? I've seen stranger couples personally.

Truer words were never spoken.
Add to that the fact if you are intellectually challenging you get ostracized from the main click. If you don't agree with a click you get ostracized. If you have a disagreement with one person from the click you are ostracized. If you comment is taken the wrong way due to comprehension you’re ostracized.
I see one person said hello to another that had a disagreement and the person did not respond. Childish to say the least. I think it takes a big person to put petite disagreements in the past and move on.

Sad But True good afternoon I don't want you to feel like you are being ignored. Speaking personally, I'm in and out of the site but I have some time vested. I think a lot of times "we" do not get a chance to go back and read our comments/responses etc. When this board gets real hot it's hard to even find the last comment that you made. Some people choose not to respond to a comment because it may be read in a manner that was not intended. So it's easier to "move on". Regarding the "click", if you feel people are being clickish let them click on. I'm a click by myself, nobody will join me, hell, I wouldn't join me. Half the time I'm just talkin to myself anyway. SBT don't even worry about it. Whether you want it or not here's a hug from Grandma and I know you felt it.
The words from EWF:
Talkin to yourself is fine, makes you feel much better, know just where to draw the line, it's all bout love.
Reply to this
I'd like to butt-in (since that some times is a problem on this open board), but I feel like I most point out that the clique that you sense may be because some of us have been posting since the comment section opened up and some may be more familiar with certain handles. I, for one, have been posting comments since day one of the comment section. I don't feel like I'm in a clique, but I have to admit that some handles and comments I have seen for quite some time, I feel like I know the way they type, and feel at ease with it. If that's a clique, so be it.
And like Grandma said, folks are in and out of this board all day and it's easy to scan the comments and miss one of your own comments and the possible responses under it. So, personally, if I missed someone's response to me, I apologize.
And just like in any other conversation in life, some times all that could be said on the subject is said and it's time to move on.
There's just too many variables at play to call it "childish", in my opinion.
I don't know what it was worth, but I thought I'd share my reaction to your post.

Usher is rumored to date girls and guys, Tameka has to know, Jay cheats on Bey, she has to know but this stupid women look the other way. Bey has her own money, Jay is ugly as sin and she doesn't need his money but he is probably the only man not intimidated by her statue and celebrity. Blu Cantrall was after Jay for years, she is the only one in the world who thinks he's fine but she could never put her plan in motion because she is too busy getting dirty with it in the lesbian clubs.

Had a friend at the job who transferred from DefJam to a company in my bldg. This was a few years ago, but he said that it was an "open secret" at DefJam that Jay was messing with another employee. Don't remember her name, but she was the light-skinned exec working for Puff on the very first season of Making Da Band. She jumped ship and went to DefJam shortly after. Anyway, my friend was saying that this chick was ALWAYS in Jay's office and it was clear she was not in there working all the time. And since I had heard that this chick rose up in the industry on her back, I wasn't too shocked. He also said they made sure never to leave Rhianna alone with LA Reid. (This was before she came out and was still in development.) I took that to mean he was in dirty-old-man mode around her.

Hi Madison et al,
I was hoping that Jay-Z was one of the good guys that doesn't cheat on his woman. I don't get it. I try and tell some of my friends that it doesn't matter how pretty you are or how nice of a body you have, some men will cheat no matter what. There are some men who would say they would never cheat if Beyonce was their woman but I don't think it matters who the woman is. A man can get bored and want to cheat on the most beautiful woman in the world if he chooses to.
Did Blu ever have a relationship with Jay-Z or was she just pursuing him? I think I read somewhere that he slept with Mya and Blu. I can give him credit for keeping his dirt mostly underwraps. Even before he got with Beyonce, he didn't put his relationship business out there. You're right, he's not the most attractive man in the world but I must admit, there is something about the way he carries himself that makes him kind of attractive.
Reply to this
That is very true. It doesn't matter how pretty you are. I think men like the idea of having the power of being able to do what they want to do. Most of the time they think 1. they will never get caught 2. she's not gonna leave me anyway n 3. they do it because they can. I think its his sophistication that makes him attractive and his wealth. Women love men who wont kiss and tell, that means he respects you and wont dog you out in the streets.
Reply to this
Badchick & Sunshine, I hear you. I always go back to Bill Clinton's explanation on Monica-gate when he said he did it because he could do it. No good reason beyond space and opportunity and I believe a lot of people cheat for the same reason. And I don't think Jay is that attractive, but he has a swagger about him that can be sexy. And yeah, I think it goes a long way for Bey that Jay is closed mouthed about their relationship (& any indiscretions). I can actually see Bey & Jay making it for the long haul.
Reply to this
Pretty woman, ugly woman, whatever. Beyone, Halle, Nia, etc are just WOMEN!! They don't walk on water or levitate and I'm sure that they all have the same type problems as us "regular" folk. As for a person saying "I would never cheat if _ were my man/woman"-what a nice fantasy. You only see what these people want you to see. Every single one of them has another side to them that you may or may not like.

Hey Ms Rae. Didn't MC just have some work done on her body? Where it is I don't know. But I just don't see her having kids anytime soon if this is so. I think this is her way of staying in the lime light. I also think Nick needs a map on how to have/make a baby. Her eggs are probably hard boiled or deviled and his tadpoles aren't even fully developed.

Mimi seems to have an unhealthy need for attention, she tried to upstage bey and jay but nick is the only one not in their category so she looks foolish. At least bey got a man who is just or more successful than her where Mimi looks like a near 40 sugar mama trying to hold on to a stud.

I wouldn't like to think that this is Jay and Beyonce, but he hasn't changed, and he let's you know in his songs. The second part of this song is too long to post, but I have mentioned it on here before....I took it as he won't leave Beyonce ever, especially for an average chick. Even though I'm not a huge fan of hers, who else is doing it big on Beyonce's status right now? No one I can think of.....and he even said himself that it would have to be a chick on Halle or Angelina status for all of that..he is my dude, but I don't doubt that he cheats.... =(

I think it screams Jay and Beyonce as well. They are one of the only two couples "newly married".
Tameka cannot be simultaneously breathing down Usher's kneck--AND be "clueles". It doesn't even make sense.
I guess most women think that when mean are dirty, nasty cheaters--its the woman's own shortcoming--otherwise why do so many people in here keep pointing out that they think Beyonce is beautiful, on top of her game, etc. If a man is a cheater it doesn't matter that the woman is beautiful--he cheats because of HIS issues, not hers.

Is this BI solved?
When I read the BI the first couple that entered my mind was Usher and Tameka. He will not leave her because he can just cheat. LOL... I don't think she is everywhere all the time. He has found ways to hide his lady friends for a long time the game is not new to him. Tameka is seasoned the only thing is I believe she acts up when she is around him but could care less when they are apart.
I don't think its Jay-Z he already has his jump off's lined up. He does not need to get a call girl service. When Bey was on world tour one of his JO's traveled with him. It alludes me which site had the pictures of the girl. Jay-Z is health contious and will not just plug anyone now due to his relationship with Bey. His Jump Offs have been around for a long period of time.
Tina turns a blind eye so I believe she taught beyonce that this is the way the world works. Matthew also schooled her about men.

Good evening everyone,
I'm going to come out of lurk mode. I have no clue but I would like to add my guess. What about the members of New Edition. Didn't two of them get married within the last 2 years?
Reply to this
Bayou Cutie ,I heard that 2 members of NE were recently married ,but didnt know which 2?
Reply to this
In the last few years 4 NE members have gotten married
Ralph and Ricky had a double wedding in 2004.

Ronnie Devoe married a woman from another singing group ( I cant remember the name) around 05 or o6. And Michael Bivins got married recently as well.

Hey anonymous, I think Ronnie married one of the girls from that group Blaque, (they were under Left Eye) I believe her name is Shamari.
Reply to this
Ok I remember that group.They did that song 808(I think it was called) Didnt another member have a baby by that westcoast rapper that rapper Foxy Brown used to deal with ?

I love Nina Simone! Thanks for the info on her keep it coming. I am going to see her daughter, Simone ( who is awesome, too) at the Telluride Jazz Festival in a few weeks. I can't wait. Then, you tell me that they are making my favorite book, Black Mama Widow by Iceberg Slim, into a movie??? I can't wait. That was the first book that I read in his series and was hooked! Good work ladies.
Reply to this
That was my favorite Iceberg Slim book too. So much drama! I read it when I was about 13. I just know the movie is not going to be as raw as the book.

Hey Bingo, I read the autobiography of Iceberg Slim it was an interesting look at pimps and their mentality. What I really like is the fact that he gave it all up, got married and had children and changed for them...

OT AGAIN!
I think the BI answer is somewhere amongst these posts huh?
But lend me your ears. Subject: Norwood Young. I saw him on the butler show or whatever that was on E!...saw some pics of his "album release party." Haven't heard anything about him on rotation. Maybe we have disucssed him and I overlooked it.I know he used to be a member of Pieces of a Dream and they were "semi" big in the UK. But something isn't right with him: 1) The "Michaelangelo" sculptures 2) the house 3)Sharing his plastic surgeon with the Jackson clan 4) SPF 30 (cause his FACE stays SHINING! 5) The razzle dazzle jackets/belt buckles..Mmmm....
-Norwood? ?!?!?!Get your hand out my cookie jar!!!-
SMH..Miss Atlprincess--she has some instincts and they say Norwood is a "kept" man<<
Kept "man" <
@ATLPRINCESS, In Karrine Steffans 2nd book, she has a chapter on her friendship with Norwood Young(chapter 2). She refers to him a the gay version of herself. He could write a book that would that would bring black male celebrities to their knees.

Hello C!
And I would be the first in line. Something very mysterious about Norwood.
Reply to this
With the announcement that Usher has filed for a separation, he may very well be the answer. Also, wasnt it stated in posts a long time ago about him and the hotel suites?
I wouldnt be surprised if Norwood isnt a kept man.
O/T: Why is TMZ calling Cash Warren the Luckiest Bastard Alive? They are too funny.
Reply to this
and by kept man? Meaning he's being kept by such.
I also know that Karrine mentioned him in her 2nd book and how he approached her and opened up about some things (KNOWING this chick can't hold a conversation yet someone's secrets). She didn't say what he told her but apparently if he wrote a book "it would send shockwaves throughout the industry" I read somewhere a while back that he wasn't pleased he was mentioned and was scared about what Superhead may have told. Norwood? How YOU doin?
Reply to this
Touche'. Superhead is the last person I would tell a secret to. I bought her 2nd book, but didnt read it, so I dont know what she said about him in it. But anyone crazy enough to let her in on secrets is crazy as hell. She named names in her book, that should be the first clue to run like hell whenever she is around. Norwood can probably write a book that will rival TDean. And I do believe he may be kept, and would love to know, by whom.
Reply to this
Hey Blessed, In her book Superhead talks about her close-friendship with Norwood who is Gay. I think she talked about his exquisite good taste... Also, she says that Norwood has been with some of the biggest names in Hollywood and that He could write a book that would expose even more on the DL...
And, I agree I wouldn't tell her anything.She doesn't know the meaning of loyalty and true friendship, and will name names to sell a book.
I still can't believe the scandalous way she did Tigger? He helped her and her son when she were down. Whatever I knew OR seen Tigger doing... I would have taken it to my grave???
In the first chapter of Karrine's latest book The Vixen Diaries, Karrine speaks of singer and stylist Norwood Young ("A Man Named Norwood"). Norwood, who is Darius's McCrary's godbrother, is not happy that Karrine exposed private conversations he had with her, including his mother's name and his confession that, as a child, he was sexually abused. Norwood said the first chapter "was so shocking, because that means the chick went home and took notes and kept them. She had always planned to put me in a part of her book." Norwood said if he had not been ready to discuss his sexual abuse, the chapter would've devastated him and his mother. "She would have blew my whole life out of the water. And she was supposed to be my friend...
Reply to this
Karrine is grimy! Exposing the fact that he's been with a lot of industry folks, okay, but bringing up his mama and a childhood trauma?! But this is also the person who outed Tigger on the radio when he had kept from being homeless and put food on her table. Again I say, Karrine is grimy!

I just want to put another spin on Karrine not that I agree with her antics. She is apart of a play ground called entertainment. She was used and treated like an object for many years. Granted she was fully aware of the lifestyle and her usefulness in the Hip-Hop scene.
Most of the men she spoke about dogged her like they dog many aspiring female singer, rappers, models, video vixens, and regular entertainment driven young girls who want to make a career for themselves in the industry. I see it to be no different than how Girl 27 portrayed the workings of Hollywood and what happened to her. Karrien was apart of that trap. Tiger helped her and he also used her. Tiger is the same as every DL man who sleeps with woman and men. Norwood could have been a victim of circumstance yet he is still the same DL gay man who keeps a secret.
Karrine ousted these men and I cannot be mad at her for naming names. Now young girls and women are aware of their sexual behavior. I like the fact that there was no need to guess the physical features of her characters except Poppa of course whom she ousted in the second book but that’s the price he paid to play the game. He used Supa for his needs he may have been nicer to her than any other but this is still a man who cheated on his wife with a woman who has been around the world. Supa is not the only woman he was with and will not be the last. After this experience he still places his wife in jeopardy. I can't blame or be mad a supahead for trying to financially secure future even if she spends the money before she receives the payment. Like most AA's in entertainment she has poor money management skills. She serviced the industry now the industry is servicing her. The sad part is that men still call her for special favors the difference now is that she holds some cards now. They play at their own risk and no one can blame her for that. She told no lies and continues to speak about the activities all of us want to hear about. We all want to know who the gay rapper or actor is, what they do and who they do it with. She is another source of information. The only problem with her I have is that she does not tell enough. The game is what it is and she is playing the game to the best of her ability. Oohh Tiger is so sensitive ooohh Tiger helped her Tiger set her up to walk into a few situations too. Imagine how many women Tiger used and abused because he had a name and used the name as a tool to lure unsuspecting females. There are no friends in business especially the entertainment business. We read it everyday here where on friend call in a BI because they don’t like the friends behavior. JMO
I wonder what was Norwood angle for befriending Supahead a known blabber mouth
Reply to this
LinaB,
I dont know of her story with Tigger, but I do believe that if she revealed the childhood story of Norwood she is messy. However, I do recognize that Tigger is not innocent in all of this. I know of men who help women, simply to use and pimp them out. And the more involved in this industry I get, the more I know that no one is your friend. Some people dont understand why Will Smith and Tom Cruise are friends, other than the DL thing, there is a need to have friends with as much to lose as you do. And both of them have a lot to lose, so they will keep each other's secrets. The entertainment industry is scandalous, to say the least, but someone who has written a tell all book is scarey.

Some of these brothas who are so called DL that hang together dont always sleep together alot of them are just friends,but are into the same thing ( sex with men) kinda like women who have a good girlfriend ex.Redman and Method..

Candy, you raise several good points. I may not agree with her actions, but you are right, no one is completely innocent.

I agree Candi. Karrine is scandalous but these men should have known better. Even if she never did a "kiss & tell" they are putting their spouses, significant others, etc in danger. And we wonder why HIV and AIDS is so rampant in our community. SMDH....
Reply to this
Hey Candi,
IMO, Superhead treated herself as an object and sold herself to the highest bidder. These men she messed with are not responsible for her low self-esteem, she is. She willingly went after a number of those men. She allowed men whom she was fully aware of to be in relationships etc. to hang up in her house and pay her bills and sex her. Even if they weren't in relationships, a man knows an easy breezy when he sees one. Yes, they did use her for their needs. That's why many men visit escort services, and that was basically the service she was providing. No one believed that these men were saints. In the vast majority of the cases the wives were fully aware of her and her actions. But the wives also knew that she was nothing more than a side dish, and that the likelyhood of their husbands, boyfriends whatever actually leaving them for a hoover groupie were a nillion to none. She is so keen to expose all these celebs that she slept with, their likes and dislikes, throwing the fact that she slept with these men in their main chicks faces and exposing their personal business as if that makes her special. She only shared certain tidbits, she didn't really share all the dirt she used to do and still does because she wants to come off as someone you can sympathize with, like she's really educating somebody. Sorry boo boo... but in your case Bill Maher was right...you ain't that bright. You can't claim that a man used you when you willingly toss yourself out there to be used so that you get your bills paid and pass the VIP rope. She could have done the same thing many other video girls/models do when propositioned by an artist...decline and keep it pushing. With all them men supporting her she could have went to school. Invested in some stocks. But no, she wrote a book about how she survived the big scary entertainment industry and how all these sponsors exchanged money for sex so she could feed her son (whom she should have NOT put a pic of in her book, what kind of mother is that???)and keep a roof over her po' lil head. Her backstabbing of Norwood shows that she will throw anybody under the bus to make a few bucks.

As I stated earlier, Fashionista, Karrine is messy.
Reply to this
Fashionista, Thank you!!! I don't feel sorry for Karrine and nor do I sympathize with her. As I read her book, I would be thinking. No one made YOU do anything. The perfect example, she writes that she was in a car with JayZ, and he pushed her head down on him. She could have said Jay, I'm here to dance in the video and nothing more, and got out of the car. But, no what does she do? She does him right then & there with no hesitations.
Reply to this
Hi Fashion.... I never said she was innocent... She did what she had to do in order not to depend on the men and sell herself anymore to that degree as you stated above. Lying on your back does not last forever.
I understand where you are coming from and never ruled out that she played apart in her career choice.. I also wanted to point out that the men played apart too they are not innocent. Everyone in entertainment is out to make it big and rich. Everyone takes their chances. Supa opened the door for people to start writing book and dishing information. Prior to her the only person who was willing to out the activities was wendy williams and of course Myra. I see nothing wrong with what Supabedhead did. Its all about game and every author who writes a book projects and image. The image helps with sales. TD denied his gay behavior and also said talked about God alot. In one part of his book he said he would never sleep with a married man but on another page he said they went to dinner together and he had a friendship with the wife. I don't fault supahead alone I fault everyone involved. Maybe she will throw anybody under the bus so its up to people to choose not to get thrown. Right now celebrities are still calling her asking for head from Supahead knowing they may appear in her book if the story is good enough. She did what she had to do for her future and not the future of the rappers she was sexing. I say so what she told that what I like reading and that’s why I visit this site and I will not crucify her for telling and naming names. If I did not want my story out I would not befriend her nor would I tell her anything. Would it be any different if she were on the radio dishing and telling names like many morning show host and radio personalities or TMZ or Perez Hilton or bossip or PR for that matter and E entertainment. Its all just entertainment. I understand where your coming from truth be told she is not the only unfit mother in the world. Most women who don't treat their children right come from an unfit home. She made a choice and people would have found pictures of her son and placed it on the web eventually with sarcastic remarks below about how he looks. She put the pictures out there now she is talked about and not her son. Now its poor little boy has a mother like supa. I don't sypathize I just understand its business and not personal.
Bill M. thinks all black women are stupid and ghetto and beneath him so his opinion does not register to me..

I had a co-worker back in 98 that my gaydar went ballistic when we worked together.I used to try to tell my co-workers(which was my sis, my cuz & a couple others). He used to always talk about my God brother this my God brother that...lmaooooooo, after he got real close to us, I asked him was he gay. He actually said "yes" which was pretty suprising cause dude wasn't flaming or nothing like that. So he admitted to us that God brother was a code name for his lovers. So the question is, is Darrius really Norwood's God brother?

Love your posts!..lol at that video. You can tell (through the plastic) that he didn't have BAD features to begin with. I bet Norwood RUNS from the sauna. Steamed plastic is not a good look. I bet he has some serious "Joe Jackson beat me-I chase the rat in the kitchen" issues. SMH. And again, what's with all the RAZZLE DAZZLE jackets and belt buckles?!?! For someone above that wanted to know the connection between Norwood and Karrine, I was shocked to read on here that Norwood and Darius are god-brothers. *side eying Darius* Didn't I also read that Norwood would be penning his own book. I'm convinced SOMEBODY in the Hollywood Hills is stroking a check for him every month or bi-weekly...I'm just saying.
-AND I KNEW IT!!! Shout out to Blackthought. Melle Mel!!! I knew it. I knew it. When I saw hiim on VH1 Honors, I was like "what in the tight shirt" is he doing? He needs to give those protein shakes a "gaycation."

Good morning Fam.. *waves* I'm a day late and a dollar short but I actually hung out with the phenomenon known as Jayonce once and honestly they just seemed really in love to me. Jay told my bf that Bey was his best friend, she'd stood by him through really tough times. And I consider myself to be a pretty intelligent woman (that's my story and i'm sticking to it .. any evidence to the contrary will be ignored
O/T.. I've been meaning to tell you all this for a while but I always get sidetracked. We've talked before about how much money Eddie's Ex-husband Nicole made off with in the divorce. But she comes from a pretty large family, i think there's like 6 siblings. How about her family is struggling...I mean struggling. I know for a fact that two of her nieces are in college full-time, work full-time jobs, and are still trying to make ends meet. You have a summer home that's worth 6 million and u watch your family struggle?? And we're not talking about handouts but helping with their education.

Nicole does resemble a man. Her features have softened since she started dating the Football player (name unknown) Michael?...
She has to be responsible for the entire family? Sometimes family can be costly and constantly ask for money.
Family takes advantage too. If she is paying everyone’s college fees and mortgages and rent and car notes and etc. lol... She has children of her own who she needs to ensure are set for life. Not only that she is getting old and the money will get shorter eventually especially with Eddie career spiraling steadily down.

You should share some stories even if you don't want to name names..I would like to know what the arrangements are.. Like an inside look to the agreement and living arrangements i.e. no sex, yes sex, separate living quarters, does the bearded couple hang out together with the gay partner (with the partner knowing), etc. I know its invasive I am just curious and never want part of a story (I always feel unfulfilled when given half a story) my friends and family call me Oprah (Rolanda Watts prior to O) and I should be on TV.. Funny..
Thanks for the info on the Michael dude. Why does Nick place herself in these relationship. Could it be because no one wanted to date her after Eddie. After E. she was set so why go back to that same situation?

I joke around wit laides I know who are beards bout this alot its funny cus it depend on the brotha,its usually done with a lipstick lez or a lady who is pretty and understanding bout the arrangement be scene in the place to be,be into the brotha,where the ring etc. The extent of the brotha's career is the extent to which it goes on a everyday level you dont have to go as far but on a higher level athlete of celebrity it requires alot more.

Hi Litigating, One thing about family, you never really, really know what is going on the inside. Did she send them money that they spent on foolishness, do they only talk to her when they need money, did she offer to pay for college and they wanted her to do something extravagant instead??
An Aunt had a house foreclose, never said one word to anyone. My Parents saw it in the paper and called Aunt to try to save the house for her, offering various methods of financing/catching up payments. Even offered to buy it outright, deed it to her and allow her to then get a mortgage under them. My Parents are in their 60's and this Aunt is in her early 40's with no children or real liabilities. Nope, Aunt said "just buy me a Mercedes and I will move into an apartment. Mortgage was too much anyway."
And she was DEAD SERIOUS. So I take that Family thing and realize it isn't all gravy to try to help people who will only do so much for themselves.
Reply to this
They seem to be pretty sensible girls. They attend a State University here not a private school and someone told them to call me for a mentoring kind of relationship. Neither has any children and they make good grades. I helped them to find jobs but i just felt so bad for their situation. They weren't even trying to put her on blast. They just happen to show me pictures of the wedding one day (they were flower girls)and I was like how did you get invited to that wedding and they said she's our Aunt.
I don't think you can depend on your family to bail you out of everything. But I just think an education opens so many doors. I really can't understand why someone who has so much wouldn't at least give them the chance to make something out of their life.

That is good to hear and I hope they absorb all you have for them. I always said if I won the Lottery I would not hand anyone in my family cash. I would assist in homeownership, entrepreneurship and educational/career funding. But no handouts, I was kind of conflicted on whether I would pay off debts. My thing is if your shelter and education are taken care of then you can manage to pay off the debts you incurred b4 i hit that powerball!

You know I watched an episode of Oprah awhile back and on this show she had grandchildren of very wealthy (billionare&multi millionare ) individuals!They spoke of how inspite of being relative of someone extremly wealthy they were not given anything, and expected to earn their own way! They held regular jobs,struggled at times financially,and did without the luxuries that most would associate with the lifestyle of rich&famous! The rich relative may have paid for college education but not much more.
I dont think that there is anything wrong with assisting faily if you financially have the means to do so,but you must keep things in their proper perspective .Some family member shave a strange sense of entitlement, and assume that because you have money you are obligated to support them, and hand over money every time they ask.

Ditto that! I've been aound them on several differnet occassions, from when they first got together in 2002 and most recently a few weeks ago at a video shoot for Solonage. He is truly in love with her! If you could see them together its almost electric, thats they kind of love you strive for, at least I do!!! Beyonce is definitely NOT stupid by any means. The nice girl thing that she gives is real, one of the nicest people, not fake, and funny. They are together more than people realize, if you see one the other is not far behind. If he was going to cheat I don't know when he would have the chance! Let me shut uo before I get called a rep or something! I'm off to work, I might have some real juice later.

work in television:
I was just having a conversation with my son about them as well. I dont know them but our discussion was about what they have in common and the fact that they waited 5 or 6 years before getting married. So I would think they know each other pretty well and get along really well. Something also has to be said about the both of them wanting to keep their private lives private, someone else would probably be flaunting a relationship with her or with him, but the two of them know the importance of privacy and obviously agree on more than anyone knows. Hell, my son isnt as famous as any of them, but cant find a girl that wont run and tell she's seeing him. So that in itself says a lot to me. As much as folks might comment about them, I truly believe that 5 or 6 year wait is a very important factor. Now that doesnt mean he hasnt been with the trannies either, but still, he probably loves her, and as unattractive as he is, she probably loves him too.

Guys slightly off topic. But i read terrance Deans and saw a blind item form there with Lucas. I recall people were wondering if it was Eddie or Will Smith. Also litigating mentioned Eddies ex wife. i cant help but remember this video from Eddie's second album with Michael Jackson. After watching this video I cannot help but believe that dude is on the DL. Actually this is like a coming out video. I work with a white male who is openly gay and he said that this is one of the "Gayest videos he has ever seen".

Hi Everyone:
I was lurking but I agree with most of what people are saying. I am leaning heavily towards Beyonce and Jay only because of that song "Resentment" I know its just a song but she really put a lot into it. Here are some of the lyrics:
"I'll always remember feeling like I was no good
Like I couldn't do it for you and your mistress could
Its all because you lied
I know she was attractive
But I was here first
Been riding with you for six years
Why did I deserve
To be treated this way
By you you
I know you're probably thinking
What's wrong with B
I've been crying for too long
What did you do to me"
A lady once told me that men are naturally polygamous and sometimes I believe it
Reply to this
Only thing is Resentment was released and written by another artist YEARS before Beyonce was even thought of and YEARS before she met JayZ. By changing a few lines here and there putting her name in and slowing the melody, she personalized it. But Resentment as an oldschool song that can apply to any relationship and/or situation. SO i really dont think her singing this song is any indication of drama between her and Jay.
Reply to this
I am aware that she did not write the song and that she did change the lyrics. This could have been to (a) receive a writers credit or (b) add a personal touch to the song based on possible experience. I like to think that it is the later and not the former. I don't know whether or not the BI is them but, that's my guess based on my personal opinions. While this song may or may not be an indication of drama between Beyonce and Jay-Z, it would not surprise me if it were. I am sure that Jay-Z has stepped out on Beyonce often and that she knows and chooses to deal with it for whatever reason. They give the appearance of a drama free couple because they are mature enough to deal with issues between themselves so that no word really gets out about them. Otherwise, it could be any couple who recently got married. I am sure they all have their issues.

@Philly I am curious as to how you arrived at this "I am sure that Jay-Z has stepped out on Beyonce often and that she knows and chooses to deal with it for whatever reason."
My whole point about the song is that it is just a song and to me dsnt really support this blind being B and J. That is all I am saying.
Reply to this
I arrived at that statement from reading this board on a daily basis and reading comments made by various insiders.
Reply to this
^^^^ see this right here is what I'm talking about. Taking peoples word for gospel. Its just gossip and entertainment. Take it for what it is. We will never know whats real and whats not unless your the party involved! And people wonder why Gabriel got all upset. Funny thing is though they were mad at her for calling them out when they were dogging her out??? Makes no sense.
Reply to this
Actually, I don't think PhillyGirl did anything wrong. She said that she got that information from this gossip site and was using it to solve a BI that is also on this gossip site. It is not as if she held a press conference or went to court and took an oath stating that this information was factual. If we disregard everything on this gossip site then what is the point of solving the BI? Have they been proved factual?
Reply to this
Thanks for having my back on that one. I was under the impression that perhaps B/J were close to certain posters and maybe that is the reason for the responses. I understand that people have their favorites and I guess if there was a celebrity out there that I liked a lot, maybe I would be defensive as well.
Reply to this
Wow! I left and came back to all of this! LOL! Ok let me start off by saying that I wasnt trying to create drama and no I do not know B/J. My post wasnt really about them in particular. But I will however apologizes for my tone in my post. I can see how it would upset you. I was only making note of how people take someones info and keep passing it on not knowing if its the truth or not. I just see it happening all the time and its like ok people if you know you know, if you don't then don't use it to validate your own point. So with that said that just my feeling on the subject and I will let it rest. (smile)

I don't recall anyone taking anything on this site for "gospel". However, as intelligent beings, we have the ability to discern and form opinions based on our discernments. If something is said about a celebrity that is obviously not true, many insiders will put out the truth. These people are either telling the truth, or they are lying. That is up to the individual to believe. I never said that any of what I said was to be taken as fact. I am merely taking part in gossip on a gossip board. It's not that serious. I will admit that due to litigating's first hand analysis of the interaction between Jay-Z and Beyonce, I can believe that they love each other. Should I not take her word for it when she has first hand experience with the two? However, it doesn't mean that he was 100% faithful. I think the problem is that what I said pertains to Jay-Z and Beyonce and those two may be near and dear for certain posters. When these two come up, people get defensive. I am only aware of a few people being friends to the site so I make sure to be respectful of those people. If you have issues with me forming opinions about Jay-Z based on what I have read from various sources, I have no problems with it. Perhaps he is a relative or Beyonce is related to you or LinaB. If that were the case, I would understand your being protective of the two. I don't think its that serious and I doubt that Beyonce or Jay-Z is losing sleep over what you and I post about them, whether in their favor or otherwise. Anyway, we are just guessing blind items, not constructing foreign policy -- no one will be affected by my opinions or yours
Reply to this
No relations to me, no defensiveness from me and I have no idea who the couple is in the blind. My interest was in the song Resentment is all..just sharing background on the song and how I "know" that song was written in the late 60's early 70's. Just sharing some trivia you know like Alex Trebek on Jeopardy
Reply to this
I really believe that some posters intentionally try to start mess. You and Lina were having a conversation about the song. And I don't think anything you said made it sound like you are mind controlled by what was said on this site. I really believe that was posted to fan imaginary flames. I stand by what I said I believe they are in love but I agree that doesn't necessarily mean he hasn't/won't cheat. How many times have talked about Denzel and how he will declare his undying love for Paulette while sleeping with anything that moves.
All i said was I didn't think call girls were his thing but I could be wrong about that.
Oh and Lina, I ordered 3 copies of the book, one for me, my mother and one to lend out cause I will break a leg over one of my books..LOL
Reply to this
I was not trying to start a debate or put you in defense mode, I wanted insight on how you deduced it was those 2 and was just hoping it wsn't from that song that was written when Beyonce was a toddler at the most.
No harm, no foul here.... I think Beyonce can sing but until you hear Jennifer Holiday or Sharon Bryant sing the original version of "Resentment" from Jellies Last Jam then you ain't heard nothing yet!
Reply to this
It's all good LinaB. I don't mind discussions where we don't agree. It just started to feel like you were defending B/J and maybe what I wrote about them bothered you. That's why I wondered if you or sunshine were related in some way to B/J because I would understand where you are coming from. I think we did not agree on something last week it was peaceful

^5 to Phillygirl and LinaB for being class acts !

It's offical Mr.Usher and Tameka is over. Well what do we have here? Extremely reliable sources close to Mr. Raymond himself have confirmed to TheYBF.com that Usher has indeed filed for separation from his wife of only 9 months Tameka Raymond. I’m told he actually filed three weeks ago. And Usher is torn on whether he will be making an official announcement or not as he wants to save face and just let it “leak”. How convenient that his album releases in exactly 6 days, his second video hit the net today, and his album leaked yesterday. We’ve been here before with the pre-album release publicity stunts (remember the Chilli breakup right before Confessions?). So I’m really not surprised.
But it is interesting that Mrs. Raymond was just on set with Usher for his MTV snippet tapings on Sunday. At the very beginning of their relationship almost a year ago, sources were screaming left and right that this whole relationship was a sham and Tameka was strictly a pawn. And their relationship was all for publicity for his soon to be released album. And clearly this may not have been as far fetched as people thought.
At this time, it’s unclear as to what reason–if any–Ursh is going to give for their separation. But I have two guesses…both of which fit the classic Usher-pre-album-release-publicity stunts he has pulled before with previous album releases. Either the beef between the Mrs. and Mama Ursh is too much for Usher to handle, or he found out baby Usher V is not his. Regardless, Urshmeka is chillin’ on Splitsville Lane right now and time will only tell how this is all about to play out.

So cross Usher and Tameka off the list

Ebony,
I think this makes them the answer to the BI, since the BI was written before this article. Unless Myra or Paris come out and NOT them, they are the answer.
Reply to this
However, it states that Usher actually filed for separation three weeks prior to the article. Also, if he has such untold dedication to his wife, and he is the one stepping out why would he file for separation? Wouldn't Tameka file for separation? I wonder ...
Reply to this
The BI did state that the wife has no clue, so Usher could be using one of those Jedi Mind tricks, and making her feel as if it is her and not the fact that he wants to cheat. LOL. He stood up to everyone for Tameka, which shows his untold dedication to her, but as the BI states, its different behind closed doors. I still thinks its him, especially with the untold dedication, and the timing of this separation.
Reply to this
co-signed. And not only that this article says that sources close to the singer have said he filed for a separation. Um if he really did it's a public record and why didn't they get it so we could see the date ourselves. So for all we know he left yesterday or this is just something else to promote his album. Funny that none of the mainstream press have picked up on it yet. They were shouting about Jermaine Jackson's divorce being finalized and Dylan McDermott filing for divorce. Sure Usher is more relevant than either of the other 2.
Reply to this
My last post on the BI and then I am done. This is not directed at anyone in particular. I can understand why people would like this BI to be about Usher/Tameka and not Beyonce/Jay-z, people like B/J as a couple and don't like U/T as a couple (I understand as I am not a fan of Tameka). However, for me, I believe it is B/J, not because I hate B/J (I don't even know them!), but because that is where the clues take me. Finally, several people have stated how much in love Jay is with B, and I say love and cheating are not mutually exclusive.

Hey i1da,
I dont want to debat this at all, as you know I dont debat opinions. But I dont like or dislike either one of those couples. They arent putting any food in my mouth, but for me, the evidence points to Usher just as it points to Jay-Z for you. This is a gossip site, so everyone is fair game to me unless the clues point elsewhere. Usher tried to get his own fan site taken down for not agreeing with his marriage, signifying his undying devotion to her. I've never known Jay-Z to do that. Also, Jay-Z and Beyonce dated 6 years, there is nothing quickie about that. Usher filed for separation, sounds to me like he stopped having sex with her a while ago, another clue in the BI. But hey, if it points to Jay-Z for you, sobeit, but make no mistake about it, I have no favorites, but I was happy to hear litigating say she spent time with them and they seemed to be genuinely in love, that gives me hope for a good daughter-in-law and grandkids. LOL.
Thank You For Being You.

you took the words right out of my mouth and I have no doubt you will have a great daughter-in-law and grandkids. You've given him all the tools to pick a great girl. And I am sure he'll be looking for someone like his mother so he'll be just fine !

Damn, you are good. "For all we know he left yesterday." My question exactly, no mainstream outlet has reported this.
Reply to this
Hi I1da, I was reading your post, and wanted to give you some reasons he could be filing for separation, although he's the one stepping out. It could be that he's not happy and maybe falling for someone else. There are times when the person"stepping out" will seek a separation OR divorce. When you really want to be free,YOU will make the first move...Now, I'm not saying that this is a fact, just offering possible reasons.

hi ebony ,
In some ways i feel sorry for usher! He has always been super talented , but fame was not in his reach , it has only been since the last two albums that he finally is getting what he deserves . So there seems like some truth to the publicity stunt . As shallow as this might sound , why would he settle for Tameka ? From Chili to Tameka ? And all the beautiful women that throw themselves at him ....
Most of Usher's earlier albums can be played all the way through ...It is a shame he would have to resort to publicity stunts to get the public interested with all his talent ! when people like JT get immediate label push and promotion . they promoted and pushed the hell out of jt's first album ,and i was not impressed ! I also must say i do not like Ushers new tude since he has went mainstream , but nontheless he is super talented
Reply to this
Yes, he really is super talented, but I think his crossover appeal has caused a little bit of arrogance. I felt the publicity that came with dating Chili shouldve been enough because they looked like Ken and Barbie together and then he gets with someone that looks more masculine than he does. But OT: His Yeah ATL Remix is one of the hottest club bangers that I have ever heard. Nivea is putting a nice twist on it that makes that song FIYAH!!!
Reply to this
hi blessedwoman
i agree , at this point i can't stand his cockiness , but there was a point when i really loved his music and brought all , i am going to google the atl remix ... if i can stop listening to lolly pop, and the roots new album !

Hi Ebony, Naw I think this really makes them the answer to the BI. The reason being he tells her he has business, when he's really with ladies of the evening.With rumors swirling of a separation this adds fuel to the fire, further proving that there was trouble in paradise... Sounds like someobody is tired of somebody...

howdy,
i need some questions answered before i die...
1) i am a big fan of susan sarandon. please confirm if she is one of the racist actresses?
2) meryl streep? since she is yt's 'premiere' actress, i can see her being well protected. is she racist?
3) so anthony anderson is truly a sex harasser?
4) bernie mac does not know whether he wants to retire or take a break from movies. so since it has been said here that when someone disappears for awhile, that is a sign of a drug addiction.
so is bernie smoked out?
Reply to this
I can answer #4 for you:
Bernie Mac is suffering from a serious autoimmune/lung affecting disease known as sarcodosis (sp). I think that is the main reason he takes breaks.
Reply to this
i love bernie mac.

Thanks for the info Lina SG I too love the Bernie Mack show it's so real and funny sorry about his illness glad he's not on the pipe.

I remember Bernies very first performance on Death Com Jam when Martin was the host. "I'm blessed, I'm hung low, If I pull my d### out the whole room will get dart, KICK IT!!! "I ain't scared of you MFs". I knew Bernie was going to be something. Years ago my crazy girlfriend talked me into being an extra (never again) in Head of State being filmed in Bmore w/Chris Rock, Bernie was walking by and I whispered "Who you wit", he smiled, walked over and started a general conversation with me. She stood there looking like a dear in headlights. He has the whitest teeth I have ever seen. I always thought he was the funniest during the KofComedy tour. I wish and pray he gets better.

Reply to this
I remember seeing the episode of Def Comedy Jam (like how you called it Death), and thinking the same thing. He was and still is hilarious.
Speaking of Kings of Comedy, I saw it live when it came through Detroit and of course, saw it again when it was turned into a movie and thankful, Bernie Mac was one of the few who DID NOT repeat jokes he had already told while the show was touring (like some of his co-stars did).
Speaking of which, don't ever see DL Hughley live more than once every couple years. I saw him live maybe 3 times in a year and a half and heard the same jokes each and every time, just in different order. So sad that I paid to get my laugh on and he was recycling jokes...lazy.

I lost even more love for DL when he also attacked the appearance of the women who sued Isiah for the sexual harassment, Anucha Sanders. DL made jokes about looking like a monkey, a man and claiming that Isiah must have been high/out of his mind to harass "that".
And DL has a daughter....

Deanna, I really co-sign with you on the joke repeat and it's the same from city to city. I was finishing his jokes before he did and he could tell I knew exactly what he was going to say so he stopped standing infront of me. I was waiting for him to crack on me but he didn't. I was going to let him have it. I really liked him before he got lazy.
He looks like he's a pervert with a little mans complex.

Bingo you have me so tickled I'm doubled over my notebook. Wait, I was telling my bff (who also likes Lollipop like me) how someone was saying that Wayne ends his sentences with "Ya heard." So she lowers her voice a couple of octaves and starts singing "Ya heard me. Ya heard me. Ya heard me." I'm laughing, thinking she's spoofing Wayne. She explains those are the lyrics to some regional hit. And the doozy is, I thought there was only one way to say "me" and that's with a long e. But it's not pronounced with a long e in that ditty; it sounds more like "may."
You guys forgot Character by Van Hunt.
