This black female celebrity was down to her last penny when she rebounded. Now, she's having financial difficulty once again.
She has no financial savvy skills and spends her money on frivolous things, she also supports her entire family and gives her boyfriend money for the hell of it.
She is so resentful and jealous of the success of Beyonce and Alicia, you can see the hatred in her eyes when their names come up. She's also envious of their money managing skills.
She seems intent on trying to keep up with her celebrity peers (mainly Beyonce and Alicia) despite being in the hole financially.
She also spent thousands hiring a dog sitter and a doggie psychiatrist because she heard rich Beverly Hills women do it.
Despite being attired in designer wear, her clothes always look tacky and her lack of hygiene has come up on more than one occasion.
She has refinanced her house and taken out a six figure record company loan just to stay afloat but don't be surprised when this new infusion of money runs out and she files for bankruptcy.

Okay Lone and Chi Town, I'm going to have to ride with you and Tasia Mae. I believe she has hygeine issues. I mean no disrespect when I say this, but she looks like she funks up all her outfits to be damn, and her pictures always look like a scratch and sniff gone horribly wrong. And that tropical color tang flavor highlights are not the business.
Can someone be so kind and pass her the word..... Thanks in advance.
Oh, and she will never be Beyonce or Alicia. Not because she doesn't have the talent mind you, because she does. It's because neither of them is STOOPID enough to waste their money on doggy day care.

They have over the counter products to cure yeast infections, but not bacterial infections.Have to go to a dr! A bad odor is usually a sign of something not being right ,because according to what I have heard and read yeast infections ,while annoying&itchy generally dont have an odor! Any woman who has been to a gyn , or some may have been advised by a gyn NOT to use douches, scented sprays,powders or if so do so in extreme moderartion because those products tend to hurt more than they help! A womans private zone is very delicate and it doesnt take much to disrupt the flora of bacteria that normally resides within it(ya see there is good and bad bacteria) The bad is present in small amounts and kept in check by the good! When something strong chemical products,douches) supposedly cleanse the area they get rid of alot of good ,causing overgrowth of bad! Hope this makes sense to you all. I am an avid reader and when I went through puberty stage my mom had that talk with me(as all mothers or guardians of female young ladies should)!

You are absolutely right! I hate to put my business out there, bur since no one knows me. I actually suffered from this. To make it very clear, I am an extremely clean person. Take two showers a day. I was at my obgyn every month complaining about the problem. I had Bacteria Vaginosis, it is not sexually transmitted, I was sleeping with no one at the time. I would take the prescribed medicine, but about a few weeks later it kept returning. It got so bad, I would leave work early, I did not want to be walking around smelling like fish. I had kept metro-gel and antibiotics on hand, but it became a point where my body became immune to it, so after 3 years. I went to a new obgyn, and he prescribed boric acid, which helps regulate the good and bad bacteria in your vagina. He told me some women's vagina is more acidic. Thank god, I no longer have the problem. Reply to this

I am soo glad that you ladies have responded to this thread and shed some light to the fact that bacterial infections are not a case of poor hygeine. Matter of fact, too much douching can be the cause of the problem.
Once the vagina's PH balance is out of wack there are only a few cures to remedy the problem. One of them being, change of diet, eating more yogurt or believe it or not douching with yogurt... and more importantly a trip tot he DR. Most women avoid hte DR. because they mistakenly believe that they smell because they are "dirty" or that they did something wrong.
I used to get yeast infections every month before my cycle began... now I ocassionally get bacterial infections (I washed and washed until I gave myself a worse problem), bacterial infections smell, and smell bad. They ae embarassing to say the least, and douching does not make them go away, matter of fact douching makes them worse, and smell worse!
Who knew? All women need to be made aware of this. Men also need to know that they are possible carriers. Men do not have symptoms, but carry the bacteria. And, a man can pass bacterial vaginal infection from woman to women without ever being personally effected. Reply to this

I've often wondered the same thing. I've had to send one particular employee home on more than one occasion because of her odor (many years ago). It was HORRIBLE. She would leave the room and the smell would linger. And she walked around like the smell didn't exist.
Also today (a different company now), I have 2 employees who, at certain times of the month, would just smell... bad, for lack of a better way to put it. We work with the public, so that's not a good thing when you're trying to sell people stuff.

I'm so disappointed all around in Young-Drasia.
And lastly, does anyone think that either Alicia or Beyonce cares about this jealousy. I don't see either one loosing sleep over this. I wonder if this person has thought about that.

I can't decide if it's Fanatasia or Keyshia. If it is Tasia, the part about here giving her boyfriend money is just crazy. She did have a self-esteem issue. Maybe she thinks that that's the only way she can hold on to him. As for Keyshia, MTO had a story not to long ago that Keyshia & her manager Mannie were bouncing checks. Don't know how true it is(coming from MTO), but either way somebody better start investing. You hear so many stories about these stars" having it all" then loosing it all.

As much as I admire Keyshia for trying to help her family out and not turning her back on them (even though many times your own family can bring you down), her clowning on Fantasia about her being on AI is really f*cked up.

That 8 million figure is correct, well it more like 7 million + but whatever.
Fantasia was signed to a stars contract on Broadway, not only did she have top billing but she also had the marquee. There were also rumors that she was getting a cut of the box office, and that had some people on Broadway upset. They also gave her a multi-million dollar signing bonus when she agreed to extend her contract, because that was the only way they could convince her to continue doing the show and even with that it took them a while to convince her to stay. The Color Purple only lasted a few weeks after Fantasia left and the producers know they would not be able to keep the show going without her, that is why she got that big contract extension.

A million a month? I don't know where your radio station got their info from but they were mistaken.
Fantasia signed the standard replacement actors 4 month Broadway contract. She was not making replacement money but she sure wasn't making a million a month. The Color Purple was only drawing about a million a week, you can't pay your star 1/4 of your monthly box office.
She made somewhere around $250,000 a month, which is what your average top tier star on Broadway will make. I believe she also received $1 million up front to sign the contract, that may be where people get that $1 million figure from.
Where most of her money came from was when they had to sign her to a contract extension, because she REALLY did not want to stay past the 4 months she had agreed to. From what I know she was given $4 million to extend her stay for an extra 5 months, plus she continued to receive what she had already been making on a monthly basis.
Some people on Broadway still believe her management was able to negotiate a cut of the box office for her, but there is no way I will believe that. So she made $7+ million for 9 months on Broadway but if those box office rumors are true it may have been more than that. Reply to this

Personally, I do not believe that she made that much. The Color Purple was not doing so well at the time Fantasia was brought in. How could they afford to pay her so much? I think people get the 8 million figure from a report that once news broke of Fantasia coming on-board, the Color Purple made about 8 million in sales within days of the announcement. Also, if she was being paid that much, then she should have showed up more frequently. She did not appear in several shows to the disgust of many, although I understand why she may have been exhausted and her vocals may have been tired. Still, many people were disappointed by her multiple no show appearances. Reply to this

By the time Fantasia arrived the Color Purple had already made back its investment so it was no problem to pay her the money.
Her initial contract was only $2 million dollars and they made that $2 million back in advanced tickets sales within days of announcing she was joining the show.
Also Broadway is unionized so she was going to get her money regardless is she showed up or not. Reply to this

Ok I'm gonna have list 3 possibilities for various reasons floating through my head ! Fantasia-had past financial issues, has a boyfriend, also has a dog, possibly jealous of the success and crossover appeal of AlyciaKeys and Bayince because she isnt promoted as much as they are,though she has the talent. ************************************** Brandy-I heard rumblings of her supposedly being jealous of Beyonce, and making some comment to Kelly of Destinys child about Beyonce .I also recall Wendy Williams mouth of the radio , stating a few yrs ago something about Brnady allegedly having some issues with her hygeine.Serena Wiliams was mentioned for same issue either in that conversation or another one altogether ,but I heard it said! Then again Brandy had the rossover appeal and big $$$ (music /tv) long before Beyonce or Alycia acheived success.However in light of that past accident she had that killed the woman ,and that womans family suing, dont know what her finances are likw now.I dont recall is she reached a settlement with that womans family or not. Still love her music but she seems to have fallen off a bit , other than promoting that hair weave/wig line!Dont know if Bransy has a boyfriend currently and if she does he he is!She was the big star in Norwood family even before lilbrother Ray J started acting here and there and singing **************************************** Keyshia Cole-Does support her whole family.I too now recall that episode when her financial avisor advised her not to finance a house or condo or something for her mom and sister Neffie.They showed the sister going on an interview and getting a job but Keyshia still is the primamry breadwinner for her family! Cant say I heard her say anything about Beyonce or Alycia keys but who knows ! After hearing about how she treated Fantasia , it wouldnt be hard for me to believe.I dont knwo if Keyshia has a current boyfriend, but I think she has a dog! So I'm gonna sleep on this and see who if anyone gets the "not"tommorow! Reply to this

Hey Cocoalatte, you made me think of something. Does anybody else remember someone on the boards saying that Brandy and Kelly Rowland were best friends at one point, and Brandy used to try and slip in slick comments about Beyonce?

Would be disappointed if this is KEYSHIA. Never heard her comment negatively about alicia 9think they are cool) or Bey. Never heard about any hygiene issues. She has alwys said she wants to be a smart business woman. don't know if I believe she is taking care of a man. Don't think she is broke although she is known to love to shop. Just don't think enough of the clues fit her. Keishia can sing/is talented but her stage presence/performance needs work. She can be very immature about handling her responsibilities as an artist (partying hard before shows and appearances, showing up late for shows, disrespecting her fans on ocassion). Don't know if she is a hater like the subject of the BI, she seems to be open to learning from and reaching out to successful artists. IMHO. Reply to this

this person's situation can be easily turned around.
keyshia cole seems to be 'willing' to learn. remember that epi on her reality show where her financial advisor asked her not to purchase her mother and sister a home. well, she did not but moved them in with her. umm...at least there is only one mortgage to pay.

Yes, there are whites that overspend just like there are blacks that overspend, but the extent of overspending is disproportionate. While 72% of whites own their own home only 47% of blacks do, and home ownership has been noted as the single most viable why in which Americans can build wealth, generational wealth at that.
Basically, the US economy revolves around consumer spending and indebtedness ... that is why you will never hear the government say to the American people that they need to save and invest, you will only hear them say "The economy is good! Jobs are being created, so go out there and spend, spend, spend people!"

*Evening PR Crew* Well, let's see if I can break this down 1) Doubt it's Keyshia Cole. I think maybe early on in her career she had problems but she's maybe what I consider a big star now. I actually like Ke-Ke (although her family may be a hot mess sometimes-they are as real as it gets. SMH at Frankie "Holla"..lol). And plus didn't Young Jeezy buy that house for her? I actually think these two are closer than what people think. I think it's love at it's most purest/"ghettoist" form. Bottom Keyshia. 2)Ashanti: Yes could be her. But Ashanti's style/dress has been impressive to me--Especially lately. Did she hire a new stylist? Also never heard about her hygiene. Can't really see her spending money on Nelly because we all know they are only a couple for appearances. ***Hands the Oscar for Best Actor/Actress in a Relationship to Ashnelly** 3) Brandy: Who cares? She urks me. Heard about her snotty attitude. Despise that raspy voice. She's not talented. Not popular enough to make a "BI." Nobody is checking for Brandy and those cheap a** wigs. 4)Tasia, Tasia, Tasia: Now this may be the winner. Pig Pen Hygiene: Check. Tacky: Check. Although she's had stellar success on Broadway, I struggle with saying Beyonce' and Alicia are her peers. But if peer means "R&B chick" then okay (but those ladies are superstars) But the Broadway gig could be the "rebound" hint. Young Crusty Dro is her BF and he's about two Christian Audigier t-shirts from having a bank balance of -$0 so I can see her running to Walter's buying him the latest gear. TI has really axed some people off the payroll given his recent troubles. Also Dro is running REALLY tight with her now. Making "pseudo" appearances at parties here lately.

This Bi is most definitely about Keisha Cole. Let me drop a few for you. 1 she is not dating Floyd Mayweather he has eyes for the lovely Chili from TLC. he did throw some 100 dollar bills in the crowd at a local club here in Atlanta but it wasn't a strip club (they don't play that)they weren't fake cause i got a couple that night. He does that little stunt at every place he goes. keisha does own 1 of those cute lil Paris Hilton dogs and has a condo here in Atlanta that is the truth. Her problem is that she signed a really bad record deal and she will always owe the record company. As for her manager Manny he bounced a few checks down here as was trying to charge 60,000 for appearance fees for Keisha to help her in her lifestyle. Sadly she is the only breadwinner in her family. Remember Keisha was homeless got a settlement check when she turned 18 spent the money on her bf and went broke until she signed her awful contract. I have and continue to see them out. As for Fantasia although she is a hot mess believe me Young Dro does not give money to her like that. but they are the most ghetto couple ever. 1 night we were all at Magic city and what was Fantasia doing???? giving Dro the best lap dance in the club and boy can she make it clap.. lol!!!! she learned something in the hood.

Rocko does not have any damn money and Monica's house was on the forclosure list..now I don't know if she was able to save it but the list is public and published in the AJC on a monthly basis and she was THERE

*raises glass to toast Lit as I prepare for my bookclub meeting tonight* Lol. I see that Myra complimented you below. Many congrats on your success...Peep this: A friend of mine (ent. attny) on the west coast is here visiting and called me laughing this morning (but disgusted at the same time) about a call she heard on the radio today. Apparently there is a sex tape of an "A-List" actor (dont know who it is yet) that has surfaced after 10 years. His attny contacted the young lady who appeared in the video and first warned her that the actor had no interest in making it public but just wanted to let her know. The video was of a ménage à trois. A couple of days later, he called back and said the actor decided he is going to give the go ahead for it to be released. Attny/actor offered her $10k. She was all shaking/nervous because she's married into a devout southern baptist family and is terrified of the dissapointment. So instead of telling her husband (which I think she should have told him before she married) or retaining someone, she frantically calls a freaking radio station for advice. Couple of days pass while she's taking advice from a cousin's cousin's cousin who's an atty (get my drift?) who tells her to take the money. So he "coaches" her into increasing the deal to $25k (*atlprincess tries to keep from laughing)--she signs a faxed contract--faxed it back over. She then told her husband (yesterday I think) and he went to through the roof--something about 'dirty money'...lol... So this chick is on the radio this morning sulking and they basically tell her it's a done deal--but first making note to her that she "brokered" the worst deal EVER involving an "a-list" sex tape...DAM* RIGHT!...*SMH* Myra: I have no idea who the actor is but I'm sure your connections may know something....

Hello everyone. I'm a newbie and have been lurking around here for a min now. This is my first time commenting... Anywho, I think that this is about Keyshia. Say what yall want about Fannie, but I honestly believe that Keyshia is the jealous type. Fannie seems more genuinely humble. I can see why Keyshia would try to compete with Beyowulf and Alicia considering that all three has been at their peaks for the past year and a half. And supporting the whole family seems like her. I remembered her saying that she wants her and her whole family to be together and to be straight for life... Finally, I don't think that Fannie will get noted however, because she is indeed a really good guess (considering, if this isn't about her).

Hello all...I'm PRIMARILY a lurker but decided to come out the shadows just for a minute to drop my 2 cents on the situation.
I'm surprised that not too many ppl have guessed the one and only, Miss Sandra Rose's bff and girl crush monica. It so fits to me. If I'm not mistaken, I think I've seen Monica with a dog before. Giving money to a boyfriend, hmm...Rocko seems like the #1 pimp of the century telling BET that Monica is his "peeps" and they're "cool" while she spits out babies for him and wears no ring of this so called engagement. I'm always seeing her in designer gear but she always looks tacky due to that God awful huge arm tattoo she has going on. I can see her being jealous of Beyonce and Alicia because she was out before them...probably has similar talent to them but just keeps making bad judgement calls and can't progress like they have managed to. I see pics of her shopping on Rodeo and Sandra Rose is always breaking down her expensive wardrobe but yet, I can't for the life of me, figure out where she gets the money for all that when she hasn't had a hit since 19.. (how long??). I just think she should be considered for this BI as well because she fits many of the characteristics.
Honorary mention goes to Keyshia Cole as well because she's another one whose grotesque tattoos will always keep her from looking classy. Wears designer wear, drives a Lamborghini, supports her WHOLE ghetto family and at the end of the day, will never be on the same class and professional level as Alicia Keys and Beyonce.
I think it's one of those two.

Fantasia sounds good too, but like someone else asked, are those designer clothes that she's wearing? And if they are, maybe she looks so bad b/c she is so bad-built, dude looks like she has scoliosis or something. I'll be the first to admit that I have a boyish figure, but I work with what I have. Tay Tay needs to work on the fashion. Her body is miscellaneous (a term coined by someone on the previous BI, and I likey).
And Skyy, I agree, Brandy is not a looker. I know many people think she's so cute, but I saw a picture of Brandy on MTO once where the topic was how bad she looked. Maybe gf was just having a really off day, or should never leave the house without her makeup, but dude looked like someone had performed an autopsy on her.

I am going to breakdown bit by bit of why I think it this is Fantasia: ---------- "This black female celebrity was down to her last penny when she rebounded. Now, she's having financial difficulty once again."
*I believe it has been said before she was broke when Oprah gave her the opportunity to join The Color Purple on Broadway and that saved her financially.* ---------- "She has no financial savvy skills and spends her money on frivolous things, she also supports her entire family and gives her boyfriend money for the hell of it."
*One would assume that Fantasia who didn't graduate high school and has trouble reading would not have financial savvy skills. Add in the fact you go from being poor to having some money, the first thing you are going to do is buy buy buy all you can because you are excited to have some money in your pocket finally. I don't think her family would be able to help guide her financially, remember her parents signed that bad contract when they were a gospel group and didn't make no money. The songs her mother wrote couldn't even bring in royalties from sales because the crooks put the copyrights in their names, not hers. Also I heard her grandma's church was behind in the payments, Fantasia bailed her out after winning AI.* ---------- "She is so resentful and jealous of the success of Beyonce and Alicia, you can see the hatred in her eyes when their names come up. She's also envious of their money managing skills."
*Ok, she may be jealous of their success and maybe even jealous of them period if she still is holding on to that color complex issue. When she was younger her dark skin made her feel insecure and she said something about the boys only like the light girls. Also the story of her baby daddy ignoring her when they were supposed to meet at the mall and how he was all over some light skinned chick and ran his fingers through her hair in front of Fantasia made her feel more insecure.* ---------- "She seems intent on trying to keep up with her celebrity peers (mainly Beyonce and Alicia) despite being in the hole financially."
*?* --------- "She also spent thousands hiring a dog sitter and a doggie psychiatrist because she heard rich Beverly Hills women do it."
*I think I heard about the dog sitter, but not the psychiatrist part, wow. Why would someone get a psychiatrist for their dog? I wonder who would've told her rich Beverly Hills women do that and why is she trying to be like them, she still live in N.C.* ---------- To be continued, about to run out of character space.

Ok, isn't Keyshia's house paid for? Thought Jeezy paid for her house in cash. I am sure Brandy's crib paid for and I doubt she has money problems because heard her mom managed her money really well and she has stacks, Moesha, record sales, Cover girl etc...Fantasia went and bought her 1st house quick, I think that may be the one paid off that she gave to her mom and her mom's new man, her house after that was the one on Mtv's Cribs. I remember the 1st house alot of family was staying with her, I'm sure they moved with her to the new house too.* ---------- And don't think I am trying to dog Tasia, especially with them pic links above. I love her so much, but I'm just showing how much this blind item pertains to her. Oh just for good measure, check out these really cute pics of Tasia below. I don't know why she doesn't want to keep this look.

This BI sounds like an update of an previous BI done in May 2007.I dug this old BI up.
BLIND ITEM: EASILY INTIMIDATED SINGER
Although she’s a talented singer, she’s easily intimidated by the looks of equally talented singer’s, like Beyonce and Alicia Keys. At award shows and after parties, she gets noticeably quiet in the company of beautiful artists.
She also has an air of resentment around attractive women and on occasion, she has been observed sulking in a corner, with a drink in her hand, glaring at pretty women in a jealous manner.
She is extremely insecure about her appearance.
After the success of her last album, she unwisely went on a spending spree. She even hired someone to walk her dog and she became known as someone who threw her “new found” money around foolishly.
Few people know that her most recent album (unlike her last album) fared so poorly that she was damn near in financial ruin until an opportunity rescued her from debt.
Chronological order (Going by the last paragragh of the old BI)
-Her 2nd album came out in December of '06 didn't sale like her debut platinum saling album.
-Hmmm,keep in mind back in Feb. 2007 it was being widely reported that Fantasia got the broadway "Color Purple" gig.Which would coincide with "down to her last penny when she rebounded"
-Myra's BI "EASILY INTIMIDATED SINGER" comes out May 7(?)2007

Hey PR family,I like Fantasia for the answer to this BI.I recall past discussions on the board about her...I don't see it being Brandy because,she hasn't been on the scene in a minute...However,if this is Fantasia. There is no way that she should be going broke??? She would greatly benefit if she would stop being jealous,and focus her attentions elsewhere.Find out how to invest,stop spending above your means,and spending on ridiculous things that will only leave her feeling empty...There's nothing wrong with helping your family, but after awhile they need to get a clue(but that's her call)...Take some etiquette classes,and maybe she'll have that cross-over appeal that has Corporate America seeking Bey and Alicia for endorsements! Fantasia has a record deal,income from the Color Purple, and I'm sure she receives appearance fees here & there. Lastly,fantasia should set up a life insurance trust, or a spendthrift trust for her daughter and begin to think ahead. There are TOO many Black entertainers that are broke, OR die broke due to mismanaged funds and various other reasons...Fantasia if you read this site. Don't fall into that group... Reply to this

I see the majority is riding with Fantasia on this one. I would say that all she needs is a little guidance but as another poster stated she wouldn't even listen to Oprah which is sad. If this is her and she really wants to be successful with her career then she needs to sit her butt down and get her priorities back on track. Whoever this is needs to learn that being jealous of others will not make their situation better. Once she gets tired of going through this she will either get it together or fall flat on her ass, but she has to understand that it's her choice in the end. Reply to this

I would just like for it to be like it was back in the day. A woman liked you for who you were not what they thought you had.

I'll be damn if I gotta go fetch your laxatives and run your errands, that's what staff is for. She basically adopted another assistance. I'm not a fan of "dating down" just to have companionship in your life. A partner needs to be your equal or better. If you are gonna dole out an allowance to your man you might as well just flush your cash down the toilet, because when your money's gone, so are they. Get a puppy, it's cheaper. Reply to this
I think at some point in big scheme of things the action of "dating down" will have to end somewhere (from woman to man). Once you get so far up in the millions I don't think it should matter anymore. For example, if I made $1 million a year and he made $50,000/yr then that's "dating down". However, if I make $50 mil/yr and he makes $10 mil/yr, then I can't really see that as "dating down". But, mind you now, this is only from woman to man cuz we know it doesn't matter if it were the other way around and I ain't mad about it. Reply to this

Fantasia- dsnt really seem to be the hater type however good clues about financial struggles and also mentioned having the insecurity about complexion that some of the USA still struggles with.

Paging Soul Train: here is the information I am referring to regarding the Soul Train Groupie
We are receiving reports from old school sources that a particular striking young lady who used to hang out with Solar recording artists did a bid in Rikers for drugs.
This young lady was a big time groupie back in the day and considered one of the prettiest black women in Hollywood. Not only did she date singers but she also dated several of the LA Lakers. At one time, she was the most sought out groupie in Hollywood. And, she dated several moguls.
She also danced on Soul Train.
Now, she is an unrecognizable crackhead turning tricks to buy rocks. Her once beautiful hair is matted to her head and what teeth she has left are rotted.
Allegedly, she has a few kids, she doesn't know who their father's are. Due to her addiction and prostitution, her kids are now in foster care.
We were unable to obtain before/after photos of her but we are still digging. Stay tuned. Reply to this

Let me add just a little to your soapbox rant. Fantasia being illiterate does not have to prevent her from writing her songs. It blew my mind when I read a bio of Michael Jackson where he said he couldn't play the piano or write sheet music, so he would sing songs into a tape recorder, then later get his brother Randy to play the piano and then take that demo into the studio. So Fantasia not reading has nothing to do with her writing her own material. If Michael Jackson can write mega-million selling hits by humming into a tape recorder then no artist with today's technology has any excuse not to be more hands on with their material.
And I also agree about the work ethic. I'm no Bey stan, but I take my hat off to her hustle. She stays on her grind. She's already booked to be the headliner of next year's Essence Fest, which I'm sure will coincide with her next album release and tour.

Hello there Litigating/Lauren, Thank you so much for your prayers and support...You are right about MTV...They and the record companies have effectively put an end to good soul and hip hop music. Once they found out the hip hop was outselling rock and pop music...they let artists come out with coonery music and silling nursey rhymes with no meaning or very much thought. Good people like Dwele, Anthony Hamilton, Van Hunt, and conscious hip hop artists get no airplay or promotion, but T-Pain, Rick Ross and Lil Mama are hip hop Gods?

Fantasia is not going to be marketed like Beyonce and Alycia Keys. She does NOT have the "look" that appeals to hollywood /industry! She has a following with R&B and she defintely has a voice(sister can sang not sing but sang her ass off) ! However look at Angie Stone, she sings and writes too ( I think) and Clive aint trying to promote her projects like he does Alicia Keys! I am not taking anything from any of the ladies because truthfully there is more than enough room for each to shine,and all have talent.However it seems that having talent alone is not enough because you still need the right marketing and promotion team behind you! I know that Fantasia had Oprah on her team when she did Color Purple on broadway but is Oprah still really involved in Fantasias career outside of that Broadway stint! This is nothing new.Throughtout the years /decades there have always existed talented artist who I have enjoyed that I felt should have received more promotion.I enjoy their music anyway just wish they could have really blown up . Anyhow if BI is Fantasia or whoever hope they learn to love themselves so that they wont be so insecure and jealous! I love Fantasias short cuts (hair is usually always on point) but the outfit ,yeah she could use some help.If she has not yet learned how to manage her money(which most people who never had it until now also dont) she needs to get herself a good financial advisor or ask Oprah to hook her up with one like she did J Hud!

Cocoalatte, I am 100% with you on your post. I think Fantasia is talented. I don't think either of those women are more talented than she--however, they are marketed better and they are marketed better because they are more "marketable" in this society. Not only is this truth not Fantasia's fault--it is probably also one of the causes of her insecurity. Reply to this

I'm sorry that this is what you took from my post because I am not asking Fantasia to compare herself to anyone else. Oprah took her in and gave her an amazing opportunity and that has nothing to do with what she looks like. She blew it not because of marketing but because for whatever reason she couldn't bring herself to show up everyday. And no she may not have what is considered traditional good looks in this society but she also plays to this I'm so hood thing. Pictures on the internet of her in a club with her shoes off.. that's just un sanitary.. hair colors that just don't exist in nature.. hair doesn't come in cherry red, kool aid green, or jack o lantern orange.. and just for the record.. another poster mentioned that Oprah tried to explain to her that she needed to change some minor things i.e. clothing, hair color and she wouldn't listen... When Alicia first came out she was a straight up tomboy.. but when her record company told her she had to soften her image she did it.. Before she does anything mainstream beyonce loses about 15 pounds off her frame.. It's obvious the girl likes to eat and personally as a size 8 I think she looks great normally but that is not acceptable to society so she conforms.

Good Morning L/L and my other PR Fam, as usual, you are putting simple and plain. I couldnt agree with you more. Even Monica mentioned in an interview that she wish she'd went the good girl image that was asked of her so that she wouldve been more successful like Brandy. She said, Brandy did it but she rebelled against it and looke what happened. If nothing else, preparation plus opportunity equals success. I always tell my son to be ready when the opportunity comes and seize the moment for all its worth, because if the opportunity comes and you dont take advantage of it, there is no one else to blame. Besides, if Oprah picked her out and tried to groom her, she shouldve just did it because Ophra has groomed so many, hell she's about to turn Obama into the first Black President, that alone says she can get it done. She shouldve spoke to Iyanla before she blew that opportunity. I remember when Oprah brought her on her show promoting her in the play, that's what she did with Obama before he announced he was running. Oprah always has a carefully calculated plan for whatever she does if anyone pays attention, and it usually works. She shouldve did like Keyshia Cole and listened to MJB about concentrating on her career.

Hey Peaches. People nowadays treat marriage like it's just a "Super Boyfriend/Girlfriend" relationship as opposed to a lifetime partnership between two people. It's all about the big party and the lavish gifts, but half the time at least you can tell that marriage ain't gonna work. Even when i'm at home and check out a show like Bridezilla or one of the other 50,000 wedding shows, you see these couples ranting and raving and spending all this big money on a ceremony that they can't afford but so and so wants it because it's their big day. I also think a lot of couples rush off to get married during their relationship honeymoon phase instead of actually getting to know one another and making sure this is the right person for you.

Y'know, what Fannie probably doesn't realize is that a lot of these other young divas are probably intimidated by her vocal abilities. Fanny could hold her own with the big belting singers like Aretha, Patti, Mariah and Whitney (if she ever gets her mojo back). They probably would be blown off the stage. I'm sure they know that. That might've had something to do with the Fanny/Keke incident. What these girls from the hood like Fanny and Keke need is good mentoring and love. You can never give a kid from the hood too much love or good advice. They need it desperately. The hood is so often about tearing the other person down to hide your pain and shame. Victims of that can carry that garbage around inside forever.

Why can't we allow Fantasia to dress and be who she really is and not force her to conform to what so many other entertainers are like? Not everyone needs to wear a blonde weave, a long weave, 8lbs of makeup,2 rows of false lashes or buy all the designer wear.
Fantasia's voice can give you chills, rock your soul and remind you what it is like to feel something from generations back. I admire her talent and her open attitude about her struggles to "improve her reading". She could read but not as easily or as fluently as she would like. It is pretty sad when we want everyone to fit a real small package that was created by another race. No I dnt condone her smelling bad, or fronting with money she dsnt have but as far as dogging her fashion choices and quote unquote apperance, I think we need to fall back on that. Reply to this

Thank you, Eye. I was by no means trying to demean Fantasia's looks, and I don't think she should conform because there is only one Fantasia. However, it's the way she carries her style.

It would have to be their outter appearance. I like Fannie, not everyone looks good with long hair. And she was really cute on AI, short hair style and all. I feel short her truely fits her. AK and Bey have crossover appeal. If this person wants crossover appeal then she would need to adjust her appearance. Get a better stylist, there is truely no harm in improving self. She can get someone that will style her according to who she is or want to become. If you don't like them because of their bodies, then get a personal trainer. Get in the best shape for your body type. You don't have to look like the next person, just be a better you. We all can be a better us. But don't hate on the next person for them doing them. Fanny and Keisha are a little rough around the edges. We all know how we can be at times especailly if we had to deal with a lot of crap within our own communities. For example: Mary J. Mary isn't Bey or AK, she a polished Mary. That's it. Not trying to be like no one else. Iman, Beverly Johnson, Naomi Campbell(just to name a few) are beautiful brown skinned women and to this day still are. So love you, improve on you, adjust your spending habits, get a financial advisor, check-in with your MENTOR, take care of you and let a man take care of himself.

i might be wrong but this sounds like K COLE . Right after the essence festival the blind item is posted hmmmm, fantasia was not at essence and see below link of Ms cole with her cute pet..
also ms cole has changed her look , and a poster said above she has a bad deal. It has been menioned on other boards she has an odor.
Fantasia , is not what america considers beautiful. It can be rough backstage/ on set with stylists , and image makers! I am sure she has heard a few unkind words . Also playing the character ciele was probably a blow to her ego . she is young/ immature professionaly and possibly would have problems with that role. We can take the case of Marilyn M , who hated her sex pot roles, and wanted to be taken seriously as an actress.
Although i must say a lot of people i know saw Color Purple b/4 Fantasia , and after Fantasia , joined the cast ... Actually the box office was through the roof when Fantasia joined. I hope she gets her act togther , and i hope corporate america realizes , they are missing out on a singing talent ! Not everybody has to look like bey or alicia , lets have some variety !

This Hollywood female is more known for her drug abuse (cocaine and heroin) than her career. Behind closed doors, execs consider her a bad joke.
What few people know, although she's been linked with men, when she was super strung out, she was discreetly sleeping with a white actress who once appeared on a very popular TV series. These two were secret lovers for at least a year but the actress moved on to a richer sugar mama.
Her favorite form of recreation was snorting heroin enroute to a Lakers game. The fast paced action on the floor while being high on heroin was the ultimate high. It was even rumored that due to sinus issues from snorting heroin, she shot up a few times before her most recent rehab vist.
Although she puts on a drug-free front, away from the cameras, she continues to use while she stumbles her way through life.
Who is she?

Sorry I keep bringing this up, but I found this link. Let me give you a background on it... it seems that this journalist is replying to Cameron Diaz after she refused to spend more than three hours for his celebrity profile. This link is for the third page of this reply... anyway, if you scroll down to the third paragraph, you can see where the journalist writes:
"The 7 percent of celebrity profiles that actually succeed are an echo chamber of real personalities, without being intrusive into, say, the sexual positions you and Justin enjoy (which I have in my notes) or your serious heroin problem, which I would never, ever mention."
Now would a journalist be putting Cameron's business on front street like this to get back at her? Or is he using this as an example of being intrusive?

I've been in a relatively small room twice with K. Cole for extended periods of time and she did not stink at all and she was kind and chill even under a deadline and a lot of pressure. Maybe I caught her on good days... IDK. I think this BI is either Fantasia or Lil' Kim. Second: remember that blind about a black actress who falls back into the security of a lesbian relationship when she's in-between men, but when she does have a man, she treats the other woman horribly. The BI said that the other chick puts up with it because she's deeply in love with Ms. "I'll kick it with you 'til I find a man".

There's a lot. I suspect that she was not the most popular girl as a youngster and has always had to provve herself. She is not good with not being in total control so fun is not a term synonmus with her. Our segment of the business is very specific and she has done it for a long time & is praised for her business accumen. However she has not risen higher because of the other part of the equation. Believe it or not, she said she read a book "Wherever you are, there you go" We were at a social lunch & had a glass of wine or 3 so this was her idea of team building- sharing that snippet.(you kinow the 1st thing that popped in my head was Teddy Pwendergrass said that shit long time ago & ole boy bite him from You Can't hide from yourself, but I digress). I am knew to this area of the business but she gives me respect because I will stand unflinchingly toe to toe with her when it comes to my direct reports. She makes me want to do better bec she has the business thing down pact but you know there are a lot of demons right below the surface. Reply to this
Yes, Rocko "Monica is my peeps" Da Don's pox-faced self isn't handsome. And although I stan for marriage before children, I think Monica's little untraditional "family" is cute. I think she's in her right mind, so if she wants to be a "baby mamma," she can knock herself out; but if she ends up needing charity or complaining when Rocko "Monica is my peeps" Da Don doesn't marry her, I won't feel sorry for her.

I thought most actors nowadays are savvy enough to make sure they see a piece of the syndication profits. It's my understanding that every tv show's goal is to make it to 100 episodes so they can get syndicated. Being that Brandy was the star, surely she should have gotten a piece of the action. Now, she could be spending like a madwoman. From that janky (yes, janky) reality show she had a while ago, we know she can spend money like it's going out of style. Ray J, too.

Oh yeah, Gorgeous One...I wasn't sayin' I believed her for a minute. She and Regina's body language in photos tells quite another story than the one Sanna is spouting. Check out the scores of pics of them together over on Wire Image. As did Regina's appearance on The Tyra Banks show when she mentioned Sanaa every 2 sentences and how they're best friends and were living 2gether while Regina's house had some work done. That woman was practically swoonin' about Sanaa. It was kinda cute, but it's sad if she's only Sanaa's fall-back girl. As a gay chick myself they definitely ping my gaydar HARD, though I think Sanaa (and Gabby) dabbles and Regina is really a lesbian. I think the BI **is** them, but I found it interesting that Sanaa actually commented on the rumors at all. I like both of them as actresses BTW. Reply to this

Amen. I think I amen'ed you on another post too. I swear I'm not stalking! But I think you're right about the origination of Jesse's comments. The Clintons were probably dumb/racist enough to still believe that giving Jesse some "black vote" money would actually get them votes. Meanwhile, Barack's got some sense and realized that Jesse hasn't been anything but a windbag for a very long time. Even his own son denounced his comments, probably harsher than needed to be, but I guess Jesse Jr. wanted to prove a point to Barack. He is a bigwig in Barack's campaign org after all.
What I can't wait to see is how much money Barack gives Hillary to retire her campaign debt. For some reason, I'm getting the impression that the $4600 check Barack gave her on behalf of him and Michelle (max allowable) is about all Hillary's going to see. Yeah, there might be a few more dribbles and drabbles here and there, but Hillary's probably going to have to take care of that $20 mil campaign debt by herself. Reply to this

Other than Brandy's hair pieces and weaves,no one is checking for her like that.I am no fan of Keyshia but i'm willing to give her the benefit of a doubt. However,there's too much evidence on Fantasia.She has the voice that can be "legendary" but her appearance annoys me to no end....the rainbow bright hair,Forever21 clothes,rapper bf that no one has ever heard of and her sorry attendence record on the Color Purple.I was fortunate to see her on Bdway and she was the truth...she and the cast was excellent in every way.She has potential if she will commit to cleaning up her ghetto tendencies,lose some weight,get a vocal coach and dress with some taste and class. Then there's Monica.I always thought that she was too grown for her own good when she first came out.She still looks good and the voice is still there but those obnoxious tattoos make me crazy.She's another one on a long list of celeb's that need media training and etiquette lessons in the worst way.

Hey there... I hope you're feeling better.
I meant to tell you that I saw your post about the African Street Fair - I didn't realize they moved it from Boys & Girls High.
The days flew by so quickly that I never got an opportunity to get over that way. Plus, I wasn't too sure how muddy the park was going to be since it was raining off and on for a couple of days.
I'm kinda torn with this BI as well, there is alot of evidence pointing to Fantasia.
But, I thought of Keyshia Coles because of the Dog Whisperer thing, from watching her show she appears to be all about folks going to therapy. At one point she had her manager, best friend, mother and sister in therapy together - so getting a dog whisperer wouldn't be unusual for her.
She has changed her appearance, new teefus', hair, clothes, etc...So I could see the whole Beverly Hills wannabe vibe going. Plus, we all know if Jeezy gifted her with houses and cars its' just a matter of time before they're snatched from her.
I hope she's not tart - but - again that wouldn't seem so far fetched, because in my opinion she still is a bit rough around the edges. I could see her being a little "unfresh" in the underarm area.
Shower to Shower anyone? Just a sprinkle a day....

Wow, Jackson should go sit down somewhere. He's complaining that Obama's recent talks in black churches focused disproportionately on black males' moral deficiencies, and not enough on broader issues that affect black males like violence, unemployment etc. Maybe Obama's speeches stepped on his toes a wee bit since Jackson does have that out-of-wedlock-while-married child by that young lady in California. And wasn't that interesting how years ago when Jacson threatened to boycott Toyota over whatever "cause," he negotiated a truce with the company that allegedly included a nice cushy executive position with Toyota for his mistress. Oh, sorry, I didn't know the mistress' job was supposed to be a secret. And when did Jackson's wife all of a sudden find the kind of independence where she endorsed Clinton, while her husband "endorsed" Obama? Please, that "divided" political house is a very transparent sham. She didn't have that kind of independence to deal with her husband's infidelity, instead showing up in church the weekend after the love-child story broke, to stand by her man. With her dignified, independent, strong self. Reply to this

I know a great many black men who take care of their responsibilities, are loving, and fully present in their families. I am an Obama supporter, but I am also honest enough to acknowledge that he is looking at the problem through his own experiences with his absentee father and he does have to broaden his perspective. Otherwise, he (we) perpetuate a stereotype. Be certain that absentee fathers and single-parent families; unemployment and underemployment; are not limited to the black male. Fairness and authenticity require that Obama balance his statements to that extent.
This black female celebrity was down to her last penny when she rebounded. Now, she's having financial difficulty once again.
She has no financial savvy skills and spends her money on frivolous things, she also supports her entire family and gives her boyfriend money for the hell of it.
She is so resentful and jealous of the success of Beyonce and Alicia, you can see the hatred in her eyes when their names come up. She's also envious of their money managing skills.
She seems intent on trying to keep up with her celebrity peers (mainly Beyonce and Alicia) despite being in the hole financially.
She also spent thousands hiring a dog sitter and a doggie psychiatrist because she heard rich Beverly Hills women do it.
Despite being attired in designer wear, her clothes always look tacky and her lack of hygiene has come up on more than one occasion.
She has refinanced her house and taken out a six figure record company loan just to stay afloat but don't be surprised when this new infusion of money runs out and she files for bankruptcy.
Who is she?

Oh, and she will never be Beyonce or Alicia. Not because she doesn't have the talent mind you, because she does. It's because neither of them is STOOPID enough to waste their money on doggy day care.

how can a grown ass person have a hygiene problem? i mean come on now. do they just get up and not wash? damn, dial is one of the strongest anti-bacterial soap on the market, and if that can't take care of the odor...
i'll be damned.
Reply to this
For some woman it's a medical issue. there's a medical condition that makes woman have a fishy smell to them the street term is call "the fish odor syndrome" google it no matter how much u shower u still smell and perfume makes it even worse. it has something to do with the food enzyme not breaking down in the body properly.

Although no body odor is ok, maybe her hygiene problem isn't necessarily her private parts? I only say this because when a woman is accused of bad hygiene, fish is the first thing people think of lol...I have been around women that stunk, but it was either their breath or underarms that were musty as hell. And I have seen pics of Fantasia performing and she was so sweaty, so maybe the sweating makes her funky at times? Gorgeous Sable said Eve, Fantasia, and Serena have hygiene problems so maybe she can say whether it's down there or just mustiness lol...

They have over the counter products to cure yeast infections, but not bacterial infections.Have to go to a dr! A bad odor is usually a sign of something not being right ,because according to what I have heard and read yeast infections ,while annoying&itchy generally dont have an odor! Any woman who has been to a gyn , or some may have been advised by a gyn NOT to use douches, scented sprays,powders or if so do so in extreme moderartion because those products tend to hurt more than they help! A womans private zone is very delicate and it doesnt take much to disrupt the flora of bacteria that normally resides within it(ya see there is good and bad bacteria) The bad is present in small amounts and kept in check by the good! When something strong chemical products,douches) supposedly cleanse the area they get rid of alot of good ,causing overgrowth of bad! Hope this makes sense to you all. I am an avid reader and when I went through puberty stage my mom had that talk with me(as all mothers or guardians of female young ladies should)! That and I paid attention in Sex ed 101, not to mention the lilpep talks with female gyn's throughout my young adult life (annual exams,pap smearsmetc)
Reply to this
You are absolutely right! I hate to put my business out there, bur since no one knows me. I actually suffered from this. To make it very clear, I am an extremely clean person. Take two showers a day. I was at my obgyn every month complaining about the problem. I had Bacteria Vaginosis, it is not sexually transmitted, I was sleeping with no one at the time. I would take the prescribed medicine, but about a few weeks later it kept returning. It got so bad, I would leave work early, I did not want to be walking around smelling like fish. I had kept metro-gel and antibiotics on hand, but it became a point where my body became immune to it, so after 3 years. I went to a new obgyn, and he prescribed boric acid, which helps regulate the good and bad bacteria in your vagina. He told me some women's vagina is more acidic. Thank god, I no longer have the problem.
Reply to this
U can also try an over the counter product called repHresh. I had BV one time and knew what it was, but didn't feel like going to a doctor just to give me a prescription of that disgusting Flagyl, so I research alternate remedies, and repHresh came up. Ran to CVS tried it, results were great, and BV gone, plus it's only $12
Reply to this
cele &Lisa McDowell,glad you ladies found soemthign that worked for you! I had never heard of BV until I read about it in a book of female reproductive health.It is a vaginosis listed right under yeast infection and trichomoniesis(know I misspelled it) Now trich from what I read is sexually ransmitted infection,but bv(Gardnerella) is not usually sex transmittd though it can be.Most women that get it ,do so from over use of douches ,sprays, powders which have harsh chemicals in them!
Reply to this
Also no amount of washing will rid a person of it.Its not a hygeine thing in that sense!(if only simpl;y washing ones ass was the cure,lol but its not) Its an internal problem and as mentioned can only be helped with something rpescribed by dr! An imbalance of bacteria already prezsent but in smaller amounts withign a womans vagina!
***************************************
Now bad hygeine can cause an odor as well,but if a good washing alone doesnt solve that as it should if its just a matter of poor hygeine ,than its time to see a dr because its something else going on!
****************************************
STDs can cause odors and discharge! Like Bv (though different) women still must see a professional (DR)for diagnosis and meds.
***************************************
In summaryt women just have to be in tune with their bodies.If you are then you know when something is wrong or different! Only shame is in not gettign help when you KNOW that you have a problem. Education about these things leads to greater understanding!
Reply to this
I am soo glad that you ladies have responded to this thread and shed some light to the fact that bacterial infections are not a case of poor hygeine. Matter of fact, too much douching can be the cause of the problem.
Once the vagina's PH balance is out of wack there are only a few cures to remedy the problem. One of them being, change of diet, eating more yogurt or believe it or not douching with yogurt... and more importantly a trip tot he DR. Most women avoid hte DR. because they mistakenly believe that they smell because they are "dirty" or that they did something wrong.
I used to get yeast infections every month before my cycle began... now I ocassionally get bacterial infections (I washed and washed until I gave myself a worse problem), bacterial infections smell, and smell bad. They ae embarassing to say the least, and douching does not make them go away, matter of fact douching makes them worse, and smell worse!
Who knew? All women need to be made aware of this. Men also need to know that they are possible carriers. Men do not have symptoms, but carry the bacteria. And, a man can pass bacterial vaginal infection from woman to women without ever being personally effected.

I've often wondered the same thing. I've had to send one particular employee home on more than one occasion because of her odor (many years ago). It was HORRIBLE. She would leave the room and the smell would linger. And she walked around like the smell didn't exist.
Also today (a different company now), I have 2 employees who, at certain times of the month, would just smell... bad, for lack of a better way to put it. We work with the public, so that's not a good thing when you're trying to sell people stuff. I just have them cashier when they are "cuttin' up" (smelling) so at least there is a countertop between them and the customers.

I know, so embarrassing! I hope people that love and care about her would tell her in a non demeaning or embarrassing manner about the odor. Like I said before, if others smell it, then the odoriferous subject has to smell it. But maybe it will take someone else to mention it before they do anything about it. It would be horrible if someone that doesn't care about her feelings were to tell her in a cruel or embarrassing manner and really hurt her feelings.

However I say her because of the comment about the dog!I know I heard that before ,cant recall where now",and She was said to have had financial difficulities until Oprah presented ger with opportunity to star in Color Purple on Broadway! She stopped doing that play awhile back .I havent heard any new material from her ,its been awhile since last album was dropped now! She isnt a songwriter that I know of ,so she would have to rely mainly on touring and other projects to make her money! She needs a financial advisor, fall back a bit on the BIG spendin, and the label needs to promote her more because as I said she does have talent,and can sang as well if not better than Alycia and Beyonce, though I luv all 2 ladies!! Maybe a stylist wouldnt hurt .

I've heard most of these tidbits except the hygiene part. I heard something about the dog, but I know it wasn't the psychiatrist part, that is nuts lol...Yes, I hope she gets a financial advisor and manages her money better. And she may love helping her family out, but sooner or later she is gonna have to stop supporting all those adults. I can see her giving her parents an allowance or something, but brothers, cousins, aunties, whoever, she needs to nip it in the bud cause if she goes broke none of them will help her.

Speaking of hygiene, can anyone on this board verify or clean up the rumor about Beyonce's breath/halitosis? Why do so many people say she has stanky breath? Is this just a nasty rumor? My bf is a Beyonce stan and she said she just can't believe Bey has bad breath lol. I told her Bey is still human with flaws so it's possible, but then again it could be just a rumor to try to embarrass her. My bf asked this one guy that met her if her breath stunk and he said no not at all and that she smelled so good all over lol, and then my bf wanted me to ask my other friend that has met Bey on a couple of occasions about her breath. When I finally got the guts to ask her, she said she wasn't really around her all like that cause Bey acted like she didn't want to mingle, so she didn't know.

Nas babymama Carmen started that rumor when she wrote that tell all about Nas. He met her early in her career when the orginial 4 DC members were still together. Carmen asked Nas about Beyonce and she claimed that Nas said that he could not take her breath and that was the reason he didnt try to get with her.
I think this blind item is Tasha. Her jealousy of Bey & her body odor has been noted before.

Keyshia is another one that SR stans for! I thought Fantasia was only dropped by her management! Wow, so she isn't signed anymore!

Keyshia is funded by her male ummm friends. I guess there really are diamonds in there, because many of her big ticket items including homes are allegedly purchased by them.

If you watched Keisha Coles show, they showed her meeting with her financial manager, (some white guy) and he was telling her to slow her role with spending money on her family,(she was trying to buy her mom and sister a house) and he told her it wasn't a good idea. Keisha looked upset when he said that but she did listen to him.

Hey Lit, the fact that Tasia is not bourgeois enough to hire a dog sitter to me clearly indicates that it would be her ... she would do it for show, because some one told her that rich women do it.
I understand that Tasia comes from a situation where she had no money and brought with her a poor mindset, but I think that it is a shame that no one in her camp took the time to try and educate her on money and finances.

hey i1da.. would you mind telling SouthernGirl that I am still not over her Andre 3000 comment and therefore I cannot speak to her.. but I do hope she's doing well .. you can also add that she's safe for now because the police confiscated my wire cutters.. something about a complaint from Hill Harper's girlfriend.. too bad for her they didn't take my stun gun

Hey Litigating, how are you doing? I must admit, I first thought of Brandy not Fantasia! It is well documented that Brandy has issues with Beyonce. Plus her "former husband" Robert put her on blast about her hygiene when he did a interview on a radio station!

@ SouthernGirl77 i'm with you on this one. I never got the concept of some adults being musty and funky and thinking that it's ok. IT'S NOT!!! I've also heard that some people are so used to smelling a certain way that they don't think that their odor is a problem or offensive. Soap and water is your best friend, utilize it
Reply to this
In hindsight ,gonna stick with Fantasia unless shes notted but it could be Brandy or one of the other females mentioned.I also love Brandys voice ,but I have heard comments made about her Supposedly being jealous of Beyonce and also heard somethign mentioned about her hygeine a few yrs ago.Im not 10% sure but they are as good a guess as any!

I'll go with Fantasia. Back tom read and see who has been notted.

At first I was thinking Brandy, but, after it said she takes care of her family Fantasia came to mind. I'm going with Fantasia.

Fantasia truly has talent - I have some vinyl remixes that make you just want to slap her!!!! If her life story movie is anywhere near the truth then it all seems to follow pattern. I just hope she can pull it all together before she loses it all. Once it's gone - for some - it's gone for good.
Reply to this
Okay I just re-read and peeped the part about her tossing dollars to her boyfriend. Da fu*k for? Isn't Dro semi gainfully employed? Negro (sorry for that word, it just fits in this case) should at least be able to pay his own way when they go to the drive thru.
I'm so disappointed all around in Young-Drasia.
And lastly, does anyone think that either Alicia or Beyonce cares about this jealousy. I don't see either one loosing sleep over this. I wonder if this person has thought about that.
I tell you.... This whole world has gone to the dogs. (insert joke about doggy psychiatrist)
Reply to this
I can't decide if it's Fanatasia or Keyshia. If it is Tasia, the part about here giving her boyfriend money is just crazy. She did have a self-esteem issue. Maybe she thinks that that's the only way she can hold on to him. As for Keyshia, MTO had a story not to long ago that Keyshia & her manager Mannie were bouncing checks. Don't know how true it is(coming from MTO), but either way somebody better start investing. You hear so many stories about these stars" having it all" then loosing it all. So sad that they don't have since enough to know that nothing last forever.

Anything done out of the kindness of your heart is okay. I buy for my husband, take him out, etc. all because he's a good man and supported me while I did my thing and he helped to support our kids while they did their thing. I believe that if your partner, whether man or woman, shows you the same ride or die love, then its okay to return it. I'm not talking about any old guy that is a user, but one that can appreciate who and what I am.

I'm late but ur so right me and my ex were out at dinner and when the bill came the waitress look at me, and he handed her the money and I in Detroit, so I don't know if it's a national problem but yes they assume ur going to pay. I will never pay for a man unless its his birthday or he has done it some many times its only fair.

I think that this is Keyshia Cole. During her reality show her financial advisor told her that she needed to hold off on spending and supporting her entire family. She also owns a Scottish Terrier. I don't see Fantasia sending her dog to a psychiatrist!
Reply to this
I remember that episode. And I remember her family making demands on what kind of house they wanted, and they weren't even the ones buying it. I was like "Get the f*ck outta here!"
To me Fantasia doesn't seem like the kind of person who would be jealous like that. She seems like she's grateful to have something. Maybe I'm wrong about her, but she just seems more humble than that.
I definitely thought it was Keshia Cole when I read this. The whole hygiene part, I dont' know about and I don't wanna find out.
Reply to this
The house they were looking at was here in North Fulton where I reside--I've never seen them around this area--it's kind of a close knit community. I definitely think that I would have seen/noticed Frankie and Neffie if she did get that house here.
Reply to this
I hope Keshia gets to keep the house.. seeing as the Feds are looking into how it was paid for and with who's money due to her ex. I don't know, this seems like Christina Milian or Mya to me. I really don't want to believe Key key is running around paying for doggie therapy.
Reply to this
I hope that Jeezy didn't fall back and pay for Keshia's veneers. If so, the Feds might snatch those up also, LOL. Those veneers have GOT to be one of the best things done for her. Now if her broke, jealous azz can get veneers what's up with Doody? Maybe he should stop giving those whack azz parties and get those can openers fixed.

fantasia has self esteems issues...she would hardly compare herself to bey & keys whereas keyshia downs fantasia, bey, keys, monica(on the slick), etc...tasia is a down to earth chick and dro is a hustler...dunno about everything else, but i doubt this is tasia...tasia is the kinda girl that still goes to hood clubs & kicks off her shoes..so NOT hollywood...i cant see her doing the beverly hills thing..this sounds like straight keyshia cole,

I don't see Fantasia feeling that she is in competition with Alicia Keys and Beyonce. I think it is someone who is more "like" those two in terms of music and image. I think it is Ashanti.
Reply to this
I hope Fantasia resolves those self-esteem issues because they can really stunt your growth as a person. She's very likeable, talented, and has Oprah on her side... what else can an artist ask for?
As much as I admire Keyshia for trying to help her family out and not turning her back on them (even though many times your own family can bring you down), her clowning on Fantasia about her being on AI is really f*cked up. I think another poster on a different thread mentioned that. Tasia won over thousands of auditioners and contestants. She didn't have a hook up... she earned it with her talent. That's just my opinion.
Reply to this
I hope Tasia is notted soon because if you can be within arms reach of Oprah and not be better for it (I know she schooled the girl on something at some point) - then there is no help for you.

Because that's the only one that he had, but it was HOT!!!
It's probably Fantasia since we know who she is dating, we dont know who Keyshia is dating, or who Brandy is dating. And my understanding from Sonya Norwood, because she worked for H&R Block or somebody, Brandy would never go broke.

Keyshia Cole. Season 1 of her reality show she kept bringing Beyonce' up. She was saying she was trying to "get her Beyonce' on". Her gear is always whack. Her financial advisor warned her on season 2 that she couldn't afford to take care of her family. A friend who is friends with Teairra Marie said Keyshia use to make snide comments to her about Beyonce' when she was signed to "The Roc". She used to tell her, "Damn, Beyonce' got you trained". I would be suprised if this is not her.
Reply to this
Hey Celebgossip! Now that comment to Teirra Marie is very interesting indeed. I can say that the clue "giving her man money for the hell of it" tells me that the bf must be rich/have his money otherwise he would be in the group she was taking care of and Jeezy and Floyd Mayweather definitely qualify.

Peaches that;'s right she is supposed to be seeing Floyd now.. lawd if that ain't a marriage made in ghetto heaven.. and Keyshia has been looking better lately but *whispers.. i don't believe that chick can sing*.. anywhoo if she is giving Floyd money she is really tripping.. cause that show off bought out the bar at 2 different clubs on the same night during All Star Weekend

Hi all...I have no clue who this is. However...I'm not feeling Fantasia for this one. I can't imagine that her ego is big enough to believe that she is on the same level as Bey or Alicia. I see her as being humble...I could be wrong though. You guys have burst my bubble many a time in the past!!! LOL Also...designer clothes? Her clothes don't look like they are designer choices to me.
Reply to this
Vanity, I agree those pieces don't designer to me either. More like boutique, not that there's anything wrong with a boutique,because I shop in some...But,I have heard on more than one occasion, of her hygiene, and taking care of the family,and she supposedly moved them all in. I would help my family too, but after awhile they would have to do something more than just live off of me. I wouldn't be an enabler...
Reply to this
Now I'm not sure again after reading your comments and the comments of others. Hygiene issues, reckless spending, broke...I dunno. Maybe it is her. While I love me some Tasia', and think she can sing as well or better than Bey or Alicia, I can't understand where she would get the nerve to even fix her mouth to compare herself to either of these ladies.

Reply to this
I'm going with Keyshia for this one. Fantasia seems to play her position, she knows Beyonce and Alicia are out of her league... I don't see her trying to compete. But Keyshia doesn't have the class that Bey and Alicia have, so just from her attitude on her show, she would be the one who is jealous of their status and success. Read a while ago her manager was bouncing checks.

Darlings, I'm not saying this is Tasia but I heard she has refinanced that white elephant of a home a few times and the white real estate agent was laughing behind her back because they sold her a lemon for 2 million. I also heard on this board that she hired a chef just to turn over her meat on a grill and the photos of her floating around the net with the sweat stains in her private area and arm pits make me wonder if this is her. Ta ta. My word, Tasia is broke again, damn, how many times can a person go broke in a lifetime and didn't she end the color purple not long ago but no way she made 8 million, white established stars on broadway don't make that and she was a newcomer signed to a newcomer contract.

Well said....
Reply to this
lol. That house was the tackiest I've ever seen. Almost as worse as the President of the Plastics Norwood Young
Reply to this
That 8 million figure is correct, well it more like 7 million + but whatever.
Fantasia was signed to a stars contract on Broadway, not only did she have top billing but she also had the marquee. There were also rumors that she was getting a cut of the box office, and that had some people on Broadway upset. They also gave her a multi-million dollar signing bonus when she agreed to extend her contract, because that was the only way they could convince her to continue doing the show and even with that it took them a while to convince her to stay. The Color Purple only lasted a few weeks after Fantasia left and the producers know they would not be able to keep the show going without her, that is why she got that big contract extension.
I don't know if this BI is Fantasia but I find it hard to believe that she ran through that $7 million that fast.
Reply to this
I know when Fantasia got that gig on broadway(The Color Purple), it was all over the radio in NC that she was being paid one million a month. They said that the gig was supposed to last atleast six months.
Reply to this
A million a month? I don't know where your radio station got their info from but they were mistaken.
Fantasia signed the standard replacement actors 4 month Broadway contract. She was not making replacement money but she sure wasn't making a million a month. The Color Purple was only drawing about a million a week, you can't pay your star 1/4 of your monthly box office.
She made somewhere around $250,000 a month, which is what your average top tier star on Broadway will make. I believe she also received $1 million up front to sign the contract, that may be where people get that $1 million figure from.
Where most of her money came from was when they had to sign her to a contract extension, because she REALLY did not want to stay past the 4 months she had agreed to. From what I know she was given $4 million to extend her stay for an extra 5 months, plus she continued to receive what she had already been making on a monthly basis.
Some people on Broadway still believe her management was able to negotiate a cut of the box office for her, but there is no way I will believe that. So she made $7+ million for 9 months on Broadway but if those box office rumors are true it may have been more than that.

Reply to this
Personally, I do not believe that she made that much. The Color Purple was not doing so well at the time Fantasia was brought in. How could they afford to pay her so much? I think people get the 8 million figure from a report that once news broke of Fantasia coming on-board, the Color Purple made about 8 million in sales within days of the announcement. Also, if she was being paid that much, then she should have showed up more frequently. She did not appear in several shows to the disgust of many, although I understand why she may have been exhausted and her vocals may have been tired. Still, many people were disappointed by her multiple no show appearances.
Reply to this
You have a point there. And she may have been tired. I do recall hearing about how people were upset because she started missing a whole lot of shows. Terrance Howard did say that doing a broadway play was like modern day slavery(8 shows a week). I think he said he would never do that again.

Darling, MC Hammer was listed as making 20 million dollars one year, a few years later, it was all gone and he was bankrupt. Whitney was reported to be worth 33 million dollars one year. Both her houses went through foreclosure and we all know she's broke and Fantasia had less than both of them, has no business sense, supporting her man, her family, dog sitters, chefs and doggie shrinks. Taxes are deducted, lawyer, agent fees but we know she doesn't have a stylist for deduction so we will skip right over that one. She spends before she receives it and her house is a big old joke.

Sable, you just told the truth! You can have millions and if you are not careful, poof, it is gone! Hammer and Whitney are classic examples!
Reply to this
One of the biggest celebrity misconceptions is how much they make. When a publicist claims that said celebrity is making 10 million, you best believe they are NOT taking ten million home with them. After Agent fees, legal fees, manager fees and lets not forget TAXES that 10 million becomes 1-2 million take home. Now as a celebrity that 1-2 mil won't really last you a long time if you live the glamorous life.

So true, I once saw a special on ET. For every actor who makes 20 million per film, after taxes and staff deductions, their take came to just 6 million.

That's all?! Wow. And how many black actors/actresses are even making $20M*, so that means they are getting much less. Very interesting.

That is so true!! If a person does not have self-control or good people around them, the money is spent before they blink their eyes.

By the time Fantasia arrived the Color Purple had already made back its investment so it was no problem to pay her the money.
Her initial contract was only $2 million dollars and they made that $2 million back in advanced tickets sales within days of announcing she was joining the show.
Also Broadway is unionized so she was going to get her money regardless is she showed up or not.

Reply to this
Ok I'm gonna have list 3 possibilities for various reasons floating through my head !
Fantasia-had past financial issues, has a boyfriend, also has a dog, possibly jealous of the success and crossover appeal of AlyciaKeys and Bayince because she isnt promoted as much as they are,though she has the talent.
**************************************
Brandy-I heard rumblings of her supposedly being jealous of Beyonce, and making some comment to Kelly of Destinys child about Beyonce .I also recall Wendy Williams mouth of the radio , stating a few yrs ago something about Brnady allegedly having some issues with her hygeine.Serena Wiliams was mentioned for same issue either in that conversation or another one altogether ,but I heard it said!
Then again Brandy had the rossover appeal and big $$$ (music /tv) long before Beyonce or Alycia acheived success.However in light of that past accident she had that killed the woman ,and that womans family suing, dont know what her finances are likw now.I dont recall is she reached a settlement with that womans family or not. Still love her music but she seems to have fallen off a bit , other than promoting that hair weave/wig line!Dont know if Bransy has a boyfriend currently and if she does he he is!She was the big star in Norwood family even before lilbrother Ray J started acting here and there and singing
****************************************
Keyshia Cole-Does support her whole family.I too now recall that episode when her financial avisor advised her not to finance a house or condo or something for her mom and sister Neffie.They showed the sister going on an interview and getting a job but Keyshia still is the primamry breadwinner for her family! Cant say I heard her say anything about Beyonce or Alycia keys but who knows ! After hearing about how she treated Fantasia , it wouldnt be hard for me to believe.I dont knwo if Keyshia has a current boyfriend, but I think she has a dog!
So I'm gonna sleep on this and see who if anyone gets the "not"tommorow!

Hey Cocoalatte, you made me think of something. Does anybody else remember someone on the boards saying that Brandy and Kelly Rowland were best friends at one point, and Brandy used to try and slip in slick comments about Beyonce? She's definitely fallen off musically and I can buy the jealousy angle off her, I'm just not sure if her money is that funny.

I just remembered the story here about Young Jeezy and him being investigated for running drugs and all the money he had. They said he supposedly bought a house for his "famous" girlfriend and a condo for her as well. So, I guess that financial advisor was for show because if that's true Jeezy bought Keyshia's house as well as Neffe's condo. Hmmm.
Reply to this
I don't think so, Keyshia stays at a condo in Twelve Hotels, that's the one that people say he bought her, that is not where her sister lives.

The condo that Jeezy allegedly bought for Keyshia is at Twelve hotels, and that's not where Neffie lives

Would be disappointed if this is KEYSHIA. Never heard her comment negatively about alicia 9think they are cool) or Bey. Never heard about any hygiene issues. She has alwys said she wants to be a smart business woman. don't know if I believe she is taking care of a man. Don't think she is broke although she is known to love to shop. Just don't think enough of the clues fit her. Keishia can sing/is talented but her stage presence/performance needs work. She can be very immature about handling her responsibilities as an artist (partying hard before shows and appearances, showing up late for shows, disrespecting her fans on ocassion). Don't know if she is a hater like the subject of the BI, she seems to be open to learning from and reaching out to successful artists. IMHO.

I thought Fantasia was paid 1 million for the color purple? At any rate, she was dumb to cancel her shows. Fantasia was messing with one of my hubby's distant cousins and he's real hood. She is a hot bucket of whackness. That 101 Dalmations hairdo she had. Not to mention Lil Dro's retarded lookin' self. I heard at her birthday party in Atlanta, some chic spilled a drink on Young Dro's Gucci loafers and he had the chick get down on her knees to clean them. When is it that serious? I wish I would...You know his thirsty azz is not used to designer gear if would carry on that bad over a pair of shoes.
Reply to this
Darling, if Fantasia was paid 1 million, it's all gone after taxes, ghetto handouts, taking care of ghetto family and handing it over to young dro. Long gone. Some of these girls hook overseas when times get lean but she doesn't have the face or body to even do that.

This is sounding like Fantasia. Fantasia and J-Hud need stylists, they look horrible but Fantasia looks worse and Young Dro is cheating on her and spending what little money she has. That may be why she's broke because no other guy is checking for her. She pays men to be by her side like Angie Sugar Momma Stone. Young Dro and Rocko are male sluts who don't like to pay.

That is soo sad to hear. She is such an amazing talent and she seems like a sweet person and to hear that she has to pay men to keep her company really breaks my heart. And the men she pays or whatever are no damn good and just some damn street johns. Bastards! Sorry I had to vent on that one

I agree. I just posted a similar comment. Low self-esteem is a soul killer. She is an amazing talent. She needs to go back to Oprah, apologize or do whatever she has to and get some much needed guidance. I'm sure Oprah tried to school her on money, life and professionalism. This is just too sad.

MYRA WROTE "She's also envious of their money managing skills."
i just find it sad yet amazing how people can be so envious of something that they can attain or have control over if they take the time to learn. now mind you someone else will always have more cheddar than you, but one can learn to reasonably save and invest their income.
this person's situation can be easily turned around.
keyshia cole seems to be 'willing' to learn. remember that epi on her reality show where her financial advisor asked her not to purchase her mother and sister a home. well, she did not but moved them in with her. umm...at least there is only one mortgage to pay.

I think one of the reason alot of young black celebs have money issues is b/c the public especially the black community put pressure on them to prove their rich if their not ballin and flossin we think their broke and dont have it and make fun of them, for example : I work at a hip hop and R&B station so I see first hand the pressure they face a few months ago a young rapper did a interview with the morning show (a crew of ignorant idiots)the rapper was very nice in a nice t-shirt a nicely fitted jeans pants nice sneakers no jewelry just a nice watch looking clean and handsome one of the dj ask him about his chains and how he spends his money he told them he's not into flossin he invest his money properly they made their little jokes about him been broke and not having it like that the following week a white young celeb came for a interveiw he also dressed simple and nice like the rapper when they ask him about his chains and how he spends his money he told them basically the same thing the rapper said he's not into jewelry and he has his money invested they practically praised him for been smart with his money and not spending it on stupid things one of the dj even said u can tell he's a rich white man b/c he's dresses simple but with the rapper they said he was broke the white man still has us under their spell sorry for the long post just had to get that out.

Thank you for that comment. Some of Black america thinks that flashy cars and jewels and clothes is where its at but its not. Having a fat knot in ur pocket don't cut it. U got some credit? Got all that jordans and all the newest gear, but don't have sense enough to look deeper into the future. Longevity is the key. What are ur children going to be sitting on? Do u have college money for them set aside? What abt CD's, and I don't mean compact disc either. And while some of our black entertainers are buying all these frivolous, nonsense items, white america is cracking up, calling them niggers, coons, jigs, etc and all of the above.

"...white america is cracking up, calling them niggers, coons, jigs, etc and all of the above."

Reply to this
Skyy sometimes the truth hurts but you hit the nail on the head. I wont say that all of our people are like that ,but many are! I'm from the hood, after my parents divorced(no shame about it either).I never was of the hood(mentality though I have street smarts) because my mother raised me to carry myself with the same sophistication that she had(and she never grew up in hood as a child).I knew that I didnt have to become a product of my environment , regardless of what was going on in the streets! The things that I have seen some of our people spend money on doesnt make sense! If you have it like that you have it,but those that dont need to stop trying to front to impress people.I never liked gold /platinum teeth .Never understood why anyone would intentionally spend money to have that shyt put over their teeth when many should have been using it to fix the teeth that God gave them!
I actually remember when dentist used gold to fill and cap (preserve) teeth ,but when it became and atual trend? They get some money first thing they want to do is run out and buy a mansion, fleet of luxury cars , designer gear, chains that fall down to their waistline,and most end up broke as damn joke a few yrs later!
Ps and you enjoy that cup of cocoalatte too(smile)
Reply to this
I agree to an extent. However, plenty of white folks overspend on many of the same items we do...cars, furs, jewelry, etc. It just may not be the same type of furs, jewelry and cars. You know how WE do!!! LOL I will give you this...we seem to have cornered the market on rims, gold teeth, and gold chains, but really, does it matter? It just depends upon what one values. That being said, our people need to stop spending their money on things that depreciate as soon as it leaves the store or showroom. Don't get me wrong, I love nice things. However, please don't rock a $3,000 bag or a $60,000 car when you still rent at the age of 40 and your credit rating is at 550. Forget the Manilos, Louboutin's etc when your baby's hair looks like hell and you have not opened so much as a bank account to save for your child's future. Sorry...that is to me just plain ignorant and not impressive at all. When you actually obtain some property or assets that actually appreciate instead of depreciate, then I will be impressed.
Reply to this
Yes, there are whites that overspend just like there are blacks that overspend, but the extent of overspending is disproportionate. While 72% of whites own their own home only 47% of blacks do, and home ownership has been noted as the single most viable why in which Americans can build wealth, generational wealth at that.
Basically, the US economy revolves around consumer spending and indebtedness ... that is why you will never hear the government say to the American people that they need to save and invest, you will only hear them say "The economy is good! Jobs are being created, so go out there and spend, spend, spend people!"
As I posted in a previous threat, this is the new slavery ... work as hard as you can for the pennies that you get and then turn around on Saturday and give it all back for some trinket and a mirror that have no monetary value once you pay for it. You feel psychologically better, smarter, more beautiful and envied ... so you don't notice that you are broke and HAVE TO go back on Monday and work as hard as you can for the few pennies to do it all over again on Saturday. End of my rant ...

*Evening PR Crew*
Well, let's see if I can break this down
1) Doubt it's Keyshia Cole. I think maybe early on in her career she had problems but she's maybe what I consider a big star now. I actually like Ke-Ke (although her family may be a hot mess sometimes-they are as real as it gets. SMH at Frankie "Holla"..lol). And plus didn't Young Jeezy buy that house for her? I actually think these two are closer than what people think. I think it's love at it's most purest/"ghettoist" form. Bottom Keyshia.
2)Ashanti: Yes could be her. But Ashanti's style/dress has been impressive to me--Especially lately. Did she hire a new stylist? Also never heard about her hygiene. Can't really see her spending money on Nelly because we all know they are only a couple for appearances. ***Hands the Oscar for Best Actor/Actress in a Relationship to Ashnelly**
3) Brandy: Who cares? She urks me. Heard about her snotty attitude. Despise that raspy voice. She's not talented. Not popular enough to make a "BI." Nobody is checking for Brandy and those cheap a** wigs.
4)Tasia, Tasia, Tasia: Now this may be the winner. Pig Pen Hygiene: Check. Tacky: Check. Although she's had stellar success on Broadway, I struggle with saying Beyonce' and Alicia are her peers. But if peer means "R&B chick" then okay (but those ladies are superstars) But the Broadway gig could be the "rebound" hint. Young Crusty Dro is her BF and he's about two Christian Audigier t-shirts from having a bank balance of -$0 so I can see her running to Walter's buying him the latest gear. TI has really axed some people off the payroll given his recent troubles. Also Dro is running REALLY tight with her now. Making "pseudo" appearances at parties here lately. Maybe for a couple of bottles of Dom and about $3000. I dunno...
---So Alex, I'll take "Who is Tasia Mae for $2500"

This Bi is most definitely about Keisha Cole. Let me drop a few for you. 1 she is not dating Floyd Mayweather he has eyes for the lovely Chili from TLC. he did throw some 100 dollar bills in the crowd at a local club here in Atlanta but it wasn't a strip club (they don't play that)they weren't fake cause i got a couple that night. He does that little stunt at every place he goes. keisha does own 1 of those cute lil Paris Hilton dogs and has a condo here in Atlanta that is the truth. Her problem is that she signed a really bad record deal and she will always owe the record company. As for her manager Manny he bounced a few checks down here as was trying to charge 60,000 for appearance fees for Keisha to help her in her lifestyle. Sadly she is the only breadwinner in her family. Remember Keisha was homeless got a settlement check when she turned 18 spent the money on her bf and went broke until she signed her awful contract. I have and continue to see them out. As for Fantasia although she is a hot mess believe me Young Dro does not give money to her like that. but they are the most ghetto couple ever. 1 night we were all at Magic city and what was Fantasia doing???? giving Dro the best lap dance in the club and boy can she make it clap.. lol!!!! she learned something in the hood.
Reply to this
I did hear about the bounced checks concerning Keyshia. (who would be her BF?) This BI is stating this female celeb is giving her BF money, so we agree that Dro is not giving Fannie Mae money like that. Record deal nightmares, especially when you're hungry.

*raises glass to toast Lit as I prepare for my bookclub meeting tonight*
Lol. I see that Myra complimented you below. Many congrats on your success...Peep this: A friend of mine (ent. attny) on the west coast is here visiting and called me laughing this morning (but disgusted at the same time) about a call she heard on the radio today. Apparently there is a sex tape of an "A-List" actor (dont know who it is yet) that has surfaced after 10 years. His attny contacted the young lady who appeared in the video and first warned her that the actor had no interest in making it public but just wanted to let her know. The video was of a ménage à trois. A couple of days later, he called back and said the actor decided he is going to give the go ahead for it to be released. Attny/actor offered her $10k. She was all shaking/nervous because she's married into a devout southern baptist family and is terrified of the dissapointment. So instead of telling her husband (which I think she should have told him before she married) or retaining someone, she frantically calls a freaking radio station for advice. Couple of days pass while she's taking advice from a cousin's cousin's cousin who's an atty (get my drift?) who tells her to take the money. So he "coaches" her into increasing the deal to $25k (*atlprincess tries to keep from laughing)--she signs a faxed contract--faxed it back over. She then told her husband (yesterday I think) and he went to through the roof--something about 'dirty money'...lol... So this chick is on the radio this morning sulking and they basically tell her it's a done deal--but first making note to her that she "brokered" the worst deal EVER involving an "a-list" sex tape...DAM* RIGHT!...*SMH*
Myra: I have no idea who the actor is but I'm sure your connections may know something....

Hey
We read "The Echo from Dealey Plaza" by Abraham Bolden. More serious of a book that we usually dive into. He was the first African American on the White House Secret Service detail.

Hello everyone. I'm a newbie and have been lurking around here for a min now. This is my first time commenting...
Anywho, I think that this is about Keyshia. Say what yall want about Fannie, but I honestly believe that Keyshia is the jealous type. Fannie seems more genuinely humble. I can see why Keyshia would try to compete with Beyowulf and Alicia considering that all three has been at their peaks for the past year and a half. And supporting the whole family seems like her. I remembered her saying that she wants her and her whole family to be together and to be straight for life...
Finally, I don't think that Fannie will get noted however, because she is indeed a really good guess (considering, if this isn't about her).
Lil Kim is a good guess too, remember the blind item is titled "Keepin up with the Jonese's. It might indeed be Ms. Kimberly Jones...

Ya'll are on this tonight! Sheesh...anyway I think that this is either Mya or Monica. Mostly Monica, because I believe she has fallen off a lot financially. She came out way before Beyonce and was seeing Brandy eye to eye at one point. Monica has not been able to keep up with Beyonce and Alicia. This crappy thing about it is that Monica can "blow" she is doing the wrong kind of music right now and she needs to go back to her keep it real R&B roots and she'll be fine. I doubt she made any money on that last album...I know I didn't buy it.

Me either. I had a burned copy of it. It was okay, but not her best work.

You may be on to something. Dont take it personal Monica but we know how you shower Rocko with lavish gifts. Remember that ghetto b'day party she gave him at Body Tap complete with a cake shaped and colored like a dollar. smh. Oh and Monica hosted a radio show here in the absence of a jockey and was horrible. Spitting verbs and everything. funny too one day Keyshia Cole called in to talk to her..

Hello all...I'm PRIMARILY a lurker but decided to come out the shadows just for a minute to drop my 2 cents on the situation.
I'm surprised that not too many ppl have guessed the one and only, Miss Sandra Rose's bff and girl crush monica. It so fits to me. If I'm not mistaken, I think I've seen Monica with a dog before. Giving money to a boyfriend, hmm...Rocko seems like the #1 pimp of the century telling BET that Monica is his "peeps" and they're "cool" while she spits out babies for him and wears no ring of this so called engagement. I'm always seeing her in designer gear but she always looks tacky due to that God awful huge arm tattoo she has going on. I can see her being jealous of Beyonce and Alicia because she was out before them...probably has similar talent to them but just keeps making bad judgement calls and can't progress like they have managed to. I see pics of her shopping on Rodeo and Sandra Rose is always breaking down her expensive wardrobe but yet, I can't for the life of me, figure out where she gets the money for all that when she hasn't had a hit since 19.. (how long??). I just think she should be considered for this BI as well because she fits many of the characteristics.
Honorary mention goes to Keyshia Cole as well because she's another one whose grotesque tattoos will always keep her from looking classy. Wears designer wear, drives a Lamborghini, supports her WHOLE ghetto family and at the end of the day, will never be on the same class and professional level as Alicia Keys and Beyonce.
I think it's one of those two.
Thanks for your time...I'm back to lurking again.

Sound good, I do remeber reading a article regarding her house and money problems.. Mt guest is Monica.
Reply to this
Fantasia sounds good too, but like someone else asked, are those designer clothes that she's wearing? And if they are, maybe she looks so bad b/c she is so bad-built, dude looks like she has scoliosis or something. I'll be the first to admit that I have a boyish figure, but I work with what I have. Tay Tay needs to work on the fashion. Her body is miscellaneous (a term coined by someone on the previous BI, and I likey).
And Skyy, I agree, Brandy is not a looker. I know many people think she's so cute, but I saw a picture of Brandy on MTO once where the topic was how bad she looked. Maybe gf was just having a really off day, or should never leave the house without her makeup, but dude looked like someone had performed an autopsy on her.
LOL @ the entire post, but in particular @ "I just have them cashier when they are "cuttin' up" (smelling) so at least there is a countertop between them and the customers." Wow, no words.
prObsession, maybe they have anosmia. Similar to when you tell someone their perfume smells really nice, and they are surprised b/c they can't smell it on themselves anymore. But if these stinkers do smell themselves and do nothing about it! No words.
Reply to this
I am going to breakdown bit by bit of why I think it this is Fantasia:
----------
"This black female celebrity was down to her last penny when she rebounded. Now, she's having financial difficulty once again."
*I believe it has been said before she was broke when Oprah gave her the opportunity to join The Color Purple on Broadway and that saved her financially.*
----------
"She has no financial savvy skills and spends her money on frivolous things, she also supports her entire family and gives her boyfriend money for the hell of it."
*One would assume that Fantasia who didn't graduate high school and has trouble reading would not have financial savvy skills. Add in the fact you go from being poor to having some money, the first thing you are going to do is buy buy buy all you can because you are excited to have some money in your pocket finally. I don't think her family would be able to help guide her
financially, remember her parents signed that bad contract when they were a gospel group and didn't make no money. The songs her mother wrote couldn't even bring in royalties from sales because the crooks put the copyrights in their names, not hers. Also I heard her grandma's church was behind in the payments, Fantasia bailed her out after winning AI.*
----------
"She is so resentful and jealous of the success of Beyonce and Alicia, you can see the hatred in her eyes when their names come up. She's also envious of their money managing skills."
*Ok, she may be jealous of their success and maybe even jealous of them period if she still is holding on to that color complex issue. When she was younger her dark skin made her feel insecure and she said something about the boys only like the light girls. Also the story of her baby daddy ignoring her when they were supposed to meet at the mall and how he was all over some light skinned chick and ran his fingers through her hair in front of Fantasia made her feel more insecure.*
----------
"She seems intent on trying to keep up with her celebrity peers (mainly Beyonce and Alicia) despite being in the hole financially."
*?*
---------
"She also spent thousands hiring a dog sitter and a doggie psychiatrist because she heard rich Beverly Hills women do it."
*I think I heard about the dog sitter, but not the psychiatrist part, wow. Why would someone get a psychiatrist for their dog? I wonder who would've told her rich Beverly Hills women do that and why is she trying to be like them, she still live in N.C.*
----------
To be continued, about to run out of character space.
Reply to this
I am going to breakdown bit by bit of why I think it this is Fantasia (continued):
----------
"Despite being attired in designer wear, her clothes always look tacky and her lack of hygiene has come up on more than one occasion."
*See for yourselves lol* http://www.rickey.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/fantasia-barrino-01-2007-06-01.jpg http://www.rickey.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/fantasia-barrino-01-2007-04-23.jpg http://www.dlisted.com/files/fannynotpregnant1.jpg http://musicandlyrics.ibloggie.com/files/2006/12/fantasia.jpg ttp://www.americanidolworship.com/images/gallery/fantasia-barri-oh-no.jpg http://dlisted.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/fancam1.jpg
----------
"She has refinanced her house and taken out a six figure record company loan just to stay afloat but don't be surprised when this new infusion of money runs out and she files for bankruptcy. Who is she?"
Ok, isn't Keyshia's house paid for? Thought Jeezy paid for her house in cash. I am sure Brandy's crib paid for and I doubt she has money problems because heard her mom managed her money really well and she has stacks, Moesha, record sales, Cover girl etc...Fantasia went and bought her 1st house quick, I think that may be the one paid off that she gave to her mom and her mom's new man, her house after that was the one on Mtv's Cribs. I remember the 1st house alot of family was staying with her, I'm sure they moved with her to the new house too.*
----------
And don't think I am trying to dog Tasia, especially with them pic links above. I love her so much, but I'm just showing how much this blind item pertains to her. Oh just for good measure, check out these really cute pics of Tasia below. I don't know why she doesn't want to keep this look.

This BI sounds like an update of an previous BI done in May 2007.I dug this old BI up.
BLIND ITEM: EASILY INTIMIDATED SINGER
Although she’s a talented singer, she’s easily intimidated by the looks of equally talented singer’s, like Beyonce and Alicia Keys. At award shows and after parties, she gets noticeably quiet in the company of beautiful artists.
She also has an air of resentment around attractive women and on occasion, she has been observed sulking in a corner, with a drink in her hand, glaring at pretty women in a jealous manner.
She is extremely insecure about her appearance.
After the success of her last album, she unwisely went on a spending spree. She even hired someone to walk her dog and she became known as someone who threw her “new found” money around foolishly.
Few people know that her most recent album (unlike her last album) fared so poorly that she was damn near in financial ruin until an opportunity rescued her from debt.
Chronological order
(Going by the last paragragh of the old BI)
-Her 2nd album came out in December of '06 didn't sale like her debut platinum saling album.
-Hmmm,keep in mind back in Feb. 2007 it was being widely reported that Fantasia got the broadway "Color Purple" gig.Which would coincide with "down to her last penny when she rebounded"
-Myra's BI "EASILY INTIMIDATED SINGER" comes out May 7(?)2007
Fantasia sweatin' like Moses Malone...

"Despite being attired in designer wear, her clothes always look tacky and her lack of hygiene has come up on more than one occasion." Myra

Hey PR family,I like Fantasia for the answer to this BI.I recall past discussions on the board about her...I don't see it being Brandy because,she hasn't been on the scene in a minute...However,if this is Fantasia. There is no way that she should be going broke??? She would greatly benefit if she would stop being jealous,and focus her attentions elsewhere.Find out how to invest,stop spending above your means,and spending on ridiculous things that will only leave her feeling empty...There's nothing wrong with helping your family, but after awhile they need to get a clue(but that's her call)...Take some etiquette classes,and maybe she'll have that cross-over appeal that has Corporate America seeking Bey and Alicia for endorsements! Fantasia has a record deal,income from the Color Purple, and I'm sure she receives appearance fees here & there. Lastly,fantasia should set up a life insurance trust, or a spendthrift trust for her daughter and begin to think ahead. There are TOO many Black entertainers that are broke, OR die broke due to mismanaged funds and various other reasons...Fantasia if you read this site. Don't fall into that group...

Hey Sheknows, I must add your comments. Fanny drop the dead weight, BF. You have a daughter to provide for and look after. Not a grown azz man, let him carry his own weight. Let a man be a man, and not a door hanger. He was designed to be a provider not a rider. Oprah already cast you for the remake of Color Purple and you have the starring role. She is trying to take you under her wings. You better hand on. Bey and Alicia dont have Oprah. Don't hate, upgrade yourself. So what you are dark skinned. Work it and work out, start eating better and excercising. Leave some of those ghetto styles in the hood. You are a star. Drop the dog and the its psychiatrist, get you a trainer, stylist and a PA. Improve on your apperance, attitude and overall status. The world is not the hood. You need to know how to turn it on and off. Now is the time to turn it off and woman up. Just because you are improving yourself doesn't make you less black. You can keep it real and still handle your business properly. You are going to always be black. But don't be stupid.

I have to agree. After reading the BI my mind went directly to Fantasia.Such a pity. I remember watching her on Idol and cheering her on. She had her Cinderella moment and we are watching her waste it.
I am not a fan of her styling and over all look by any means but I do love her voice. I wish she could understand that a better image could lead to endorsements.
Fantasia shouldn't waste time being jealous of others. Her time would be better spent improving herself, getting some etiquette classes and being a good role model for her daughter.

Chile, half the time Fantasia looks like a lotto winner who still dyes her hair with kool-aid. Only endorsement deal she gonna get looking like that is a McDonald Southern Friend Chicken Sammitch commercial. As for this supporting your whole family biz... hell to the damn no! You support your kids.. yes. Supporting alll these extra folks living up in your house and paying off power bills cars and the like... never. Just because people are blood related does not mean you go broke sharing your blessings. Unless you can pull a Dolly Parton and build your own amusement park and put them to work so everybody's a winner, let it go.

I see the majority is riding with Fantasia on this one. I would say that all she needs is a little guidance but as another poster stated she wouldn't even listen to Oprah which is sad. If this is her and she really wants to be successful with her career then she needs to sit her butt down and get her priorities back on track. Whoever this is needs to learn that being jealous of others will not make their situation better. Once she gets tired of going through this she will either get it together or fall flat on her ass, but she has to understand that it's her choice in the end.

If Keyshia Cole has upgraded from a Ferrari to a Lamborghini, and it's from Young Jeezy again, before they broke up, expect it to be part of a drug seizure if the indict comes down on Jeezy.

Madison, you are right about that! The feds DON'T care, they will take anything that they think you might have gotten from the person indicted.

If Young Jeezy also bought her her house cash, that too will be up for seizure ... as a matter of fact, a lot of her things, unless she can prove it was separate and apart from Jeezy, could be up for seizure ... so sad.

After Serena broke up with millionaire Brett Ratner, she started paying for everything on the men who came after him. Brandy is the same way and Christie Brinkley testified in court she supported her cheating spouse for 10 years, paying for everything. Mariah is doing the same thing. They better than me, no way in hell I would support a man, let a man be a man and be the provider. Halle Berry doesn't play this crap and Gabrial pays for himself with his modeling money, he even funded his restaurant with investors, Halle didn't chip in a penny.

I would just like for it to be like it was back in the day. A woman liked you for who you were not what they thought you had. Some women will put up with all types of BS just to keep a man if he has some dough, and is quick to cut a man down if he doesn't..I'm saying every woman is like this, but it is becoming more of the norm these days.

And I can...throw down in the kitchen that is...But we as black men and women need to start communicating what it is that we really want out a relationship and base our happiness on what someone else has. We shouldn't be "keeping up with the Jone's" in relationships either. If you know your lady loves flowers...handle that! If you know you lady likes to have her feet rubbed...Handle that!! We need to keep doing the same things we did to get the person in the first place and stop frontin b/c we all want to look cool...

all have something in common- low self worth. No reason to try to "Buy" love unless you feel unworthy to have. All should be spending that money on Psych to understand why they have low opinions of themselves. You can't attract someone who values you when you don't value yourself.
Reply to this
Christie Brinkley is a damn fool. But she's done her own dirt over the years so I chalk that up to Karmic retribution. Mariah may be paying, but she's running that poor boy ragged. I'll be damn if I gotta go fetch your laxatives and run your errands, that's what staff is for. She basically adopted another assistance. I'm not a fan of "dating down" just to have companionship in your life. A partner needs to be your equal or better. If you are gonna dole out an allowance to your man you might as well just flush your cash down the toilet, because when your money's gone, so are they. Get a puppy, it's cheaper.
Reply to this
Hey Facepainter
I think at some point in big scheme of things the action of "dating down" will have to end somewhere (from woman to man). Once you get so far up in the millions I don't think it should matter anymore. For example, if I made $1 million a year and he made $50,000/yr then that's "dating down". However, if I make $50 mil/yr and he makes $10 mil/yr, then I can't really see that as "dating down". But, mind you now, this is only from woman to man cuz we know it doesn't matter if it were the other way around and I ain't mad about it.

Known Haters in the Music Industry:
Brandy- already exposed in a previous blind so doubt this also her
Angie Stone- jealous of Clive and the Music Business prizing lightskin, thinner women. Know Angie gives her Men money and we know Angie recently did the Reality show which does pay well.
Fantasia- dsnt really seem to be the hater type however good clues about financial struggles and also mentioned having the insecurity about complexion that some of the USA still struggles with.
Need a clincher to decide if this is Angie or Fantasia.

Hey Ms. Coleman ((Hugging You Back)) Thanks for the love
Reply to this
first time posting...LOVE this site btw
but i think this is brandy..simply bc what designer attire have we EVER seen Fanny Mae in? all i ever see her in is spandex and Outfit Outlet wear. And Keyshia Cole..well she's smart enough to get these "ballers" to foot the bill at least some of the time. Yet too many a time I have heard about lil Miss Norwoods female issues, even her "husband" Robert said that on the radio once. Hence why Mr. Richardson left her for video chick Esther Baxter...just my 2 cents. Lord knows im horrible at guessing! lol
Reply to this
Esther Baxter recently had a child and several NBA players and their wives are shook up waiting for the results of DNA Test!!

yes i heard this too. they're trying to say it's her ex-husbands and they are back together, but from what i hear mr.richardson and several miami players are contenders

Ok, Soul Train and Old School Insiders:
Please tell who is the former Beautiful Soul Traine Dancer/Groupie who has fallen on such hard times that she is now tricking and on drugs?
Also Myra on your list of little known you forgot to include another Classic Hwood Star who denied their Black Heritage: Ava Gardner
Reply to this
Paging Soul Train: here is the information I am referring to regarding the Soul Train Groupie
We are receiving reports from old school sources that a particular striking young lady who used to hang out with Solar recording artists did a bid in Rikers for drugs.
This young lady was a big time groupie back in the day and considered one of the prettiest black women in Hollywood. Not only did she date singers but she also dated several of the LA Lakers. At one time, she was the most sought out groupie in Hollywood. And, she dated several moguls.
She also danced on Soul Train.
Now, she is an unrecognizable crackhead turning tricks to buy rocks. Her once beautiful hair is matted to her head and what teeth she has left are rotted.
Allegedly, she has a few kids, she doesn't know who their father's are. Due to her addiction and prostitution, her kids are now in foster care.
We were unable to obtain before/after photos of her but we are still digging. Stay tuned.
Reply to this
is it the light skinned chick with the really long hair?? cant remember her name...i used to love soul train...
Reply to this
sounds to me like you are referring to the Asian woman with the hair down to her feet who also appeared in the Super Freak video with Rick James. If so then she is not the Black Women.
There was another famous Black women who was brown skin with very long hair who danced on Soul Train and Solid Gold. Her name was something like Darcy or Darcel.
Reply to this
yeah i remember darcel from solid gold...i think i had them confused!! my brother had her poster on his wall for years..LOL

Darcel was married to one of the Temptations, I think his name was Glenn

@Soul Train- Thanks for working it from your end and I am also working it from mine.
Heard a little something about a woman that Phillip Micheal Thomas used to date who may match some of these clues and she also has at least 3 kids by him???
Reply to this
Thanks Paris- I guess the fact that it wsnt with the other little knowns.
Ava used Tuscarora to explain her Father's brown skin and jet black wooly hair because the movie powers wanted her to BUT those from Johnson County/Smithfield know that Black + Indian +White= Black! And yes there are quite a few of us still living and looking just like Ava before the nose job. Ava was darker than Lena Horne, however when she did come back to NC word has it that she never ever tried to pass or distance herself from the other side of her family.

This isn't Fantasia.. no way...she made mad loot for the Color Purple and while her 2nd album didn't sell as well as the 1st.. it STILL SOLD! Not to mention her movie about her life... EVERYTIME LIFETIME plays that movie he gets a check, and in the last 3 months it has been on 4 times. She did get 10 mil for the CP and an additional 3 to continue. That girl hasn't ran through 13 mil.. I would care how many family memebers she is supporting. From reports on her father, mother, brother, grandma and daughter.
This isn't Tasia... I do think this is
Reply to this
She did not make mad loot, read comments above where it is broke down, she was a newcomer to broadway and not a proven talent, she signed a traditional broadway contract.

Not really concerned about what the ablove comment says .. as it doesn't matter you being a newcomer or not when you are asked to star in this by Oprah. What matters is how good the lawyer/mnager can spit.

Wow, I don't even know where to start for this BI. I like both Fannie Mae and KeKe. I've never heard any stories about KeKe having a BO problem. But, I have seen the photos of Fannie sweatin' to the oldies, in the nasty cat suit. I think that I will go with Fannie Mae until she gets a not. I hope she has an interpreter(sp) whom can read this for her. You guys gave her some sound advice. Especially dropping that dead weight. (Young Dro). Somebody needs to let her know she needs an Asset not a Liability.

Good Morning to you to Fam,
I'm with you on Fantasia, I've never heard any BO problems with Keyshia either, and hope I never do. I thought she looked really nice in her white short set on the BET awards. But I also know she's taking care of her family, but maybe they are trying to make their own money, since they were doing that spot on the BET Awards. (dont know if they got paid or not, but it may have been a stepping stone to more work.)

Hey BW, I agree. There's no future for Frankie in BET or TV for that matter IMO. But, I could see Neffie getting her a show or something, with a little more "refine" lessons. I thought she had improved A LOT since the show.

The more I think about it the less I feel sorry for Tasia if this is her... We've been talking about the fact the she is as talented as Beyonce and Alicia.. and I agree she has a great voice but both Beyonce and Alicia write their own songs.. and we already discussed that Tasia can't even read... Bey and AK have an amazing work ethic.. promoting their cds, touring, etc.. and Tasia gets the biggest break of all the chance to be in a classic Broadway Play and she blows it.. cause she can't bring her ass to work.. and I don't want to hear that modern day slavery shit.. you're getting paid all that money then you need to work.. hell there are many times that I work 7 days a week and I work for myself and don't pay myself 1 or 7 million dollars..
She has had amazing opportunities and she has completely blown them all so that she can say she's keeping it real.. yeah Tasia you're keeping it real stupid. Stop sulking and being jealous and get out and make the most of the chances that you have been given.
*steps off soapbox*
Reply to this
Let me add just a little to your soapbox rant. Fantasia being illiterate does not have to prevent her from writing her songs. It blew my mind when I read a bio of Michael Jackson where he said he couldn't play the piano or write sheet music, so he would sing songs into a tape recorder, then later get his brother Randy to play the piano and then take that demo into the studio. So Fantasia not reading has nothing to do with her writing her own material. If Michael Jackson can write mega-million selling hits by humming into a tape recorder then no artist with today's technology has any excuse not to be more hands on with their material.
And I also agree about the work ethic. I'm no Bey stan, but I take my hat off to her hustle. She stays on her grind. She's already booked to be the headliner of next year's Essence Fest, which I'm sure will coincide with her next album release and tour. A lot of other artists don't have a plan for the rest of this year, let alone the next!
Reply to this
and I stand corrected because you are so right.. I remember when he was sued for "stealing" a song and his whole defense was I can't read music so I couldn't have stolen it.. and he prevailed... I can't lie I get so annoyed when I see young black women wasting their lives away.. damn ladies we are good for more than just making babies and shaking our asses in the club. I just cannot understand this mentality..
Reply to this
Litigating, yes you are SO RIGHT! But, with all the crap that is shown on television these days, where can one go to get direction? Oh yeah, HOME!! As I stated earlier today we have to start building up from within, and not give into what society is telling us what is appropriate. There is a civil war going on between the intelligent and the ignorant...guess who's losing...
Reply to this
Hey Fresh Prince.. I just read below about your father. Very sorry to hear that and will keep you in my prayers. And you are so right.. we are losing the war badly.. My brother and I have a theory that if MTV put it out that Steve Urkel was the coolest Black man alive almost overnight young kids who grow up in the projects would dream of becoming a science geek... but that will never happen because white people make so much more money off of us when we are cooning
Reply to this
Hello there Litigating/Lauren, Thank you so much for your prayers and support...You are right about MTV...They and the record companies have effectively put an end to good soul and hip hop music. Once they found out the hip hop was outselling rock and pop music...they let artists come out with coonery music and silling nursey rhymes with no meaning or very much thought. Good people like Dwele, Anthony Hamilton, Van Hunt, and conscious hip hop artists get no airplay or promotion, but T-Pain, Rick Ross and Lil Mama are hip hop Gods? The milk has gone bad.... :O(

Fantasia is not going to be marketed like Beyonce and Alycia Keys. She does NOT have the "look" that appeals to hollywood /industry! She has a following with R&B and she defintely has a voice(sister can sang not sing but sang her ass off) ! However look at Angie Stone, she sings and writes too ( I think) and Clive aint trying to promote her projects like he does Alicia Keys! I am not taking anything from any of the ladies because truthfully there is more than enough room for each to shine,and all have talent.However it seems that having talent alone is not enough because you still need the right marketing and promotion team behind you! I know that Fantasia had Oprah on her team when she did Color Purple on broadway but is Oprah still really involved in Fantasias career outside of that Broadway stint! This is nothing new.Throughtout the years /decades there have always existed talented artist who I have enjoyed that I felt should have received more promotion.I enjoy their music anyway just wish they could have really blown up . Anyhow if BI is Fantasia or whoever hope they learn to love themselves so that they wont be so insecure and jealous! I love Fantasias short cuts (hair is usually always on point) but the outfit ,yeah she could use some help.If she has not yet learned how to manage her money(which most people who never had it until now also dont) she needs to get herself a good financial advisor or ask Oprah to hook her up with one like she did J Hud!
Reply to this
Cocoalatte, I am 100% with you on your post. I think Fantasia is talented. I don't think either of those women are more talented than she--however, they are marketed better and they are marketed better because they are more "marketable" in this society. Not only is this truth not Fantasia's fault--it is probably also one of the causes of her insecurity.
Reply to this
Hey Cocoa Peach Exactly!Marketing plays a bigger role than most people realize.Even with talent you have to have someone to market it!
Reply to this
I'm sorry that this is what you took from my post because I am not asking Fantasia to compare herself to anyone else. Oprah took her in and gave her an amazing opportunity and that has nothing to do with what she looks like. She blew it not because of marketing but because for whatever reason she couldn't bring herself to show up everyday. And no she may not have what is considered traditional good looks in this society but she also plays to this I'm so hood thing. Pictures on the internet of her in a club with her shoes off.. that's just un sanitary.. hair colors that just don't exist in nature.. hair doesn't come in cherry red, kool aid green, or jack o lantern orange.. and just for the record.. another poster mentioned that Oprah tried to explain to her that she needed to change some minor things i.e. clothing, hair color and she wouldn't listen... When Alicia first came out she was a straight up tomboy.. but when her record company told her she had to soften her image she did it.. Before she does anything mainstream beyonce loses about 15 pounds off her frame.. It's obvious the girl likes to eat and personally as a size 8 I think she looks great normally but that is not acceptable to society so she conforms.
*channeling my inner Debbie Allen* You want fame?? well fame cost.. and right here is where you start paying
Reply to this
Good Morning L/L and my other PR Fam, as usual, you are putting simple and plain. I couldnt agree with you more. Even Monica mentioned in an interview that she wish she'd went the good girl image that was asked of her so that she wouldve been more successful like Brandy. She said, Brandy did it but she rebelled against it and looke what happened. If nothing else, preparation plus opportunity equals success. I always tell my son to be ready when the opportunity comes and seize the moment for all its worth, because if the opportunity comes and you dont take advantage of it, there is no one else to blame. Besides, if Oprah picked her out and tried to groom her, she shouldve just did it because Ophra has groomed so many, hell she's about to turn Obama into the first Black President, that alone says she can get it done. She shouldve spoke to Iyanla before she blew that opportunity.
But you got me hollering on cherry red, kool aid green or jack o lantern orange hair colors, stop it, I say! LMAO

You know I just put the same quote on the last BI so LOL. There is so truth to the mainstream marketable concept but people limit themselves if they believe that they can't be marketable.
Case in point- OPRAH
When she started with her afro, darker broen skin, heavier body type she Didn't and still Doesn't fit the marketable type but she believed in herself and surrounded herself with good people, listened and learned. So again, she doesn't have to look like 1 specicif type to do the damn thing. Sheesh, it's more about what she can't look like.

Why is that marriage has become a joke in our society? Men and women get together just to break up and drag each other down publicly. I don't have millions in the bank, but I am a "Thousandnaire" and the little money I do have I would like to keep. However, if I was married and we are both working to make each other a better person, then why not treat your spouse to all that they deserve?
Reply to this
Hi Fresh Prince! First, I love "Thousandaire" and I'm totally stealing that word. Second, every spring when tons of weddings crop up, my mom always grumbles about spending a lot of money on gifts when most of the couples are seperated before she can pay off the bill. She's by no means a cynic, but we have seen quite a few young couples have lavish weddings and be divorced 2 years later. Nevertheless, I am still an advocate of marriage and your view "we are both working to make each other a better person, then why not treat your spouse to all that they deserve" certainly goes a long way to getting a marriage off on the right foot.
Reply to this
Hey Peaches!! You can borrow any of my catch phrases! :O) I don't mean to by a cynic either but, in my lifetime I have only seen 2 yes 2 happy marriages....It's like people don't even try anymore. As soon as somebody does something out of pocket, they're ready to call it quits. 9 times out of 10 you already know how that person is in the first place. So if your spouse ends up being a dog...he or she was already. People need to stop painting red flags white, and starts seeing things for what they really are...Ok I'm done!! LOL...
Reply to this
Hey Peaches. People nowadays treat marriage like it's just a "Super Boyfriend/Girlfriend" relationship as opposed to a lifetime partnership between two people. It's all about the big party and the lavish gifts, but half the time at least you can tell that marriage ain't gonna work. Even when i'm at home and check out a show like Bridezilla or one of the other 50,000 wedding shows, you see these couples ranting and raving and spending all this big money on a ceremony that they can't afford but so and so wants it because it's their big day. I also think a lot of couples rush off to get married during their relationship honeymoon phase instead of actually getting to know one another and making sure this is the right person for you.

Tell me about it.
My wedding, dress included cost less than $300. It was me, my hubby, two witness and the offical down at the Marriage Office (kinda like getting married in city hall or in front of a Justice of the Peace in the States.) I got a simple dress and shoes for cheap and we went out for lunch and a few drinks. We have been married 6 years in August. I don't begrudge big weddings if you can afford them, however, rich or poor, your marriage is more than your wedding day. People need to realise this.

Hi GEPS. How are u. Enjoying your posts as always.
I am from the Caribbean and one of my girlfriends told me about a friend of hers in the same situation. The condom came off but the dude did nottell her that it was stuck somewhere inside of her. So when the condom starts to disintegrate it starts to smell. Worst than a skunk. Eventually she went to doctor to figure out why she was smelling like that and the Doc discovered the condom.

I will go with Fantasia. Her 1st CD was not out good yet, and she purchases that big house in NC. She also has dogs and she brought her brother motorcycles. She was spending like crazy when she first came out. House at one point was almost foreclosed. She was in finance trouble until her broadway show. Specs that she was filing for Chap13 until that opened up.

I have no idea who the BI is. . .I guess Keyshia. . .she is supporting her WHOLE family. But I have a question. Why does everyone keep saying Tasia isn't in Bey or AK's league? Fantasia can actually outsing BOTH those trannies on a BAD day. No disrespect to either AK or Bey because they are both holding it down, but vocally - Fantasia would sing circles around one or both of those women. Don't sleep on Miss Barrino just because she is of AI Fame.

I agree Fantasia is a great vocalist. It's the rest of the package that needs tweaking. I'll always love her for "Free Yourself". She sang the h*ll outta that song.
Reply to this
I have seen Fantasia sing live- with some guidance and more work on holding/ releasing w/o screaming she can truly grow into 1 of the greats vocally. She really connected with the audience & this was in 2006.
Bey and AK are not trannies- let's not lift one of our own up while breaking 2 more down.
Reply to this
Very well said....Both are great entertainers in their own right. Fantasia can sing very well, she just needs to stop making those crazy faces when she hit some of her notes...I'm not hating, I'm just stating
Reply to this
i agree...so with that said, we dont have to break fannie down, either...some of these comments are mean...
Reply to this
Y'know, what Fannie probably doesn't realize is that a lot of these other young divas are probably intimidated by her vocal abilities. Fanny could hold her own with the big belting singers like Aretha, Patti, Mariah and Whitney (if she ever gets her mojo back). They probably would be blown off the stage. I'm sure they know that. That might've had something to do with the Fanny/Keke incident. What these girls from the hood like Fanny and Keke need is good mentoring and love. You can never give a kid from the hood too much love or good advice. They need it desperately. The hood is so often about tearing the other person down to hide your pain and shame. Victims of that can carry that garbage around inside forever.
Anyways, remember when Oprah had that gospel brunch and all the divas were passing the mic? I was watching that thinking "Lord, please don't let anybody pass that mic to Janet." LOL Thank God nobody did. She would have embarrassed herself.
Reply to this
Believe me - Janet was praying harder than you were. Didn't you see the fear in her eyes? Priceless..
Reply to this
Ha! She did look, shall we say...uncomfortable.
Reply to this
Funny you mention Patti, because I have always said that Fantasia is like the Patti of my generation vocally. By that I mean that they both have untrained, powerhouse, gut-bucket, got-me-falling-out-on-the-back-pew-of-the-church voices that can blow most of their contemporaries out the water. I don't think Bey & Alicia are better than Fantasia, I think they're all in different lanes just like the old guard divas: Patti, Aretha, Diana. Fanny just needs better material to really showcase her voice and a good stylist.
Reply to this
exactly what I thought when I saw her live...some training and some polishing along with some self esteem and she will become a legend. She tore up an Aretha song and connected with the crowd. But when you have someone like "O" pulling your coat, you need to listen. "O" is a brand/ empire all her own. She's by no means perfect but she is business astute and savvy.
Reply to this
Why can't we allow Fantasia to dress and be who she really is and not force her to conform to what so many other entertainers are like? Not everyone needs to wear a blonde weave, a long weave, 8lbs of makeup,2 rows of false lashes or buy all the designer wear.
Fantasia's voice can give you chills, rock your soul and remind you what it is like to feel something from generations back. I admire her talent and her open attitude about her struggles to "improve her reading". She could read but not as easily or as fluently as she would like. It is pretty sad when we want everyone to fit a real small package that was created by another race.
No I dnt condone her smelling bad, or fronting with money she dsnt have but as far as dogging her fashion choices and quote unquote apperance, I think we need to fall back on that.
Reply to this
I support what you are saying but Tasia does wear the blond weaves, the koolaid red weaves, the Dalmation white weaves. When I saw her she had on a tank style shirt with her bra half exposed. I am not suggesting that she has to look like anyone but even if she want to do some "hood" she real could reel it in some... a lot. Her apperance directly affects her earning potential and she is far too talented to lose out on opportunites because she won't pull it together.
Reply to this
Thank you, Eye. I was by no means trying to demean Fantasia's looks, and I don't think she should conform because there is only one Fantasia. However, it's the way she carries her style. She can look sloppy and un-put-together. Instead of looking edgy or unique(which seems to be the goal), she comes across looking crazy. And a truly good stylist would keep Fantasia comfortable in her own style, but with a bit more polish.

It's the truth ruth!

Hey Peaches, It's all good. Those of us that know you here on PR, and the tone of your posts... We know that you weren't trying to demean Fantasia's looks...I guess at times it's hard to accurately interpret someone's posts. However, I agree with you and Eye Fantasia is very talented, but she could benefit from a good stylist... I watched IDOL when she was on there, and haven't watched it since...

For all the back stories on Barry Gordy and how he cheated a lot of the artist - He took the time to groom them. Now if we can just get somebody who not only grooms, but cares enough about the artist as a person to teach them the ropes of business. But at the same time, does any of these artist bother to consult an entertainment attorney before they sign these dead end contracts? This business did not spring up overnight and history keeps repeating itself with making big money just to lose it. True, we need to help each other, but the flip side of it is wanting to help yourself as well. You're right, we have to bring our people up - but I have a feeling not everybody wants to be pulled up and out - it would be like trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

The BI states that this female singer hates on AK and Bey. IF she is hating on them IF this BI is Fannie, then it couldn't be due to them out singing her, correct? It would have to be their outter appearance. I like Fannie, not everyone looks good with long hair. And she was really cute on AI, short hair style and all. I feel short her truely fits her. AK and Bey have crossover appeal. If this person wants crossover appeal then she would need to adjust her appearance. Get a better stylist, there is truely no harm in improving self. She can get someone that will style her according to who she is or want to become. If you don't like them because of their bodies, then get a personal trainer. Get in the best shape for your body type. You don't have to look like the next person, just be a better you. We all can be a better us. But don't hate on the next person for them doing them. Fanny and Keisha are a little rough around the edges. We all know how we can be at times especailly if we had to deal with a lot of crap within our own communities. For example: Mary J. Mary isn't Bey or AK, she a polished Mary. That's it. Not trying to be like no one else. Iman, Beverly Johnson, Naomi Campbell(just to name a few) are beautiful brown skinned women and to this day still are. So love you, improve on you, adjust your spending habits, get a financial advisor, check-in with your MENTOR, take care of you and let a man take care of himself.
O/T Have you guys heard about the pettion startd by Keven Powell. He wants black men to sign Rkelly OFF. He want them to start standing up for black women and how we are constantly getting abused and not being protected by our own. That's what's up.

I am noticing its not getting as much media coverage as it should get. Maybe due to it being about black men support and protecting their black women and black girls. So if we don't care they aren't going to care. Then again I live in Az, but I do have cable. But we will see how this will pan out.

I live in the east coast and before you mentioned it here I had not heard anything of this. As a matter of fact, I was reading down at the bottom Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and I thought that maybe Panache Report could do a little something (bio) on Kevin Powell. He has written about six books and he ran for Congress. He seems very interesting. Mayra and/or staff, if you're reading this, does that sound like a good idea?
Reply to this
Yes, he is the same Kevin Powell that was on the Real World #1. Always a very conscientious person!

Has Kevin Powell had an epiphanny? He is preaching when he should be in the congregation. He did not treat black women or speak about them in a respectful manner either. Who is his fixer?

Sky Villa already has a t-shirt darlings and Miss Sable sends it to the cleaners because I refuse to wash such prestige, Maddie feels the same way. It's like a private club, when someone sees you wearing it and they're wearing it, instant conversation. You will not see many people wearing the sky villa tee because it's invitation only, although I did see Myra's ex in Malibu wearing a sky villa tee and a rap mogul in Hollywood wearing a sky villa tee. PR will be different because it's open to the public, instant conversation starter, friends for life.

Fantasia
Mya

Lil Kim
Brandi
Keyshia Coles
So we can figure this one out.

i might be wrong but this sounds like K COLE . Right after the essence festival the blind item is posted hmmmm, fantasia was not at essence and see below link of Ms cole with her cute pet..
http://www.petsugar.com/1763502
also ms cole has changed her look , and a poster said above she has a bad deal. It has been menioned on other boards she has an odor.
Fantasia , is not what america considers beautiful. It can be rough backstage/ on set with stylists , and image makers! I am sure she has heard a few unkind words . Also playing the character ciele was probably a blow to her ego . she is young/ immature professionaly and possibly would have problems with that role. We can take the case of Marilyn M , who hated her sex pot roles, and wanted to be taken seriously as an actress.
Although i must say a lot of people i know saw Color Purple b/4 Fantasia , and after Fantasia , joined the cast ... Actually the box office was through the roof when Fantasia joined. I hope she gets her act togther , and i hope corporate america realizes , they are missing out on a singing talent ! Not everybody has to look like bey or alicia , lets have some variety !

Are uou referring to Eva Longoria...non black- non white (Hispanic)??
Reply to this
This Hollywood female is more known for her drug abuse (cocaine and heroin) than her career. Behind closed doors, execs consider her a bad joke.
What few people know, although she's been linked with men, when she was super strung out, she was discreetly sleeping with a white actress who once appeared on a very popular TV series. These two were secret lovers for at least a year but the actress moved on to a richer sugar mama.
Her favorite form of recreation was snorting heroin enroute to a Lakers game. The fast paced action on the floor while being high on heroin was the ultimate high. It was even rumored that due to sinus issues from snorting heroin, she shot up a few times before her most recent rehab vist.
Although she puts on a drug-free front, away from the cameras, she continues to use while she stumbles her way through life.
Who is she?
Are you saying this is EVA LONGORIA for EL? Need u to confirm or not and provide the clinchers, PLEASE especially who was the WHITE WOMAN??

"a white actress who once appeared on a very popular TV series. These two were secret lovers for at least a year but the actress moved on to a richer sugar mama."
Sounds like the white actress is Portia Del Rossi who used to be on Ally McBeal which I guess was pretty popular... and the sugar mama is Ellen Degeneres.

Sorry I keep bringing this up, but I found this link. Let me give you a background on it... it seems that this journalist is replying to Cameron Diaz after she refused to spend more than three hours for his celebrity profile. This link is for the third page of this reply... anyway, if you scroll down to the third paragraph, you can see where the journalist writes:
"The 7 percent of celebrity profiles that actually succeed are an echo chamber of real personalities, without being intrusive into, say, the sexual positions you and Justin enjoy (which I have in my notes) or your serious heroin problem, which I would never, ever mention."
Now would a journalist be putting Cameron's business on front street like this to get back at her? Or is he using this as an example of being intrusive?

Happy Wednesay all, and hello to ms coleman and pretty!
allupinyoBI, ok, not KC back-biting Monica! Are you serious? Wow, and she's always in Monica's grill! There's no loyalty in the world anymore; really sad. Question, KC is a good possibility, but are their any rumors about her having BO? And I personally think KC sounds HORRIBLE live, so she really has no room to try to belittle others' talent.
Reply to this
^5 Teina. I like Keyshia because she's come so far in her life but she does sound HORRIBLE live. Always sounds flat on the stage. Definitely a studio singer.
Reply to this
yes, and now that u mention it, i remember monica schooling kc on holding onto her dollars and lasting in the industry...she told her to get her weight up before she started burning bridges..monica has been in the industry since the age of 14, she def knows...kc is a royal, hot headed mess...she used to beef with jeezys baby mama and his gf, mylie...and she doesnt sound good to me live, either...i caught her at this years jazz fest and many people were disappointed...

What up, PR, you guys almost caused a prison riot up in a prison where my cuz is during a bid. This is not the first time I heard PR is big in prison systems. I guess a staff member donated Myra's book to the prison library my cousin said the PR newsletters are big in the joint to and come every month and the book had a long wait list, and cons were trading up smokes to get put on at the top after they heard about how good it was, some shit went down and a con almost got shanked over trying to get skipped over another con on the list, I even had my cuz repeat the story to make sure I got it right. No shit! Stay on fiyah!

Hey PR Fam! I've been lurking here for about a year, but I've never posted. Man, this site is like crack: I have to get my fix several times a day! Saying hello to all of you. I so appreciate the conversation here. Y'all seriously bring it! 2 things: I'm a musician, kinda small time but always expanding, no big big tours as yet, but I meet industry people all of the time as I try to break into the very male dominated recording session players club. I've been in a relatively small room twice with K. Cole for extended periods of time and she did not stink at all and she was kind and chill even under a deadline and a lot of pressure. Maybe I caught her on good days... IDK. I think this BI is either Fantasia or Lil' Kim. Second: remember that blind about a black actress who falls back into the security of a lesbian relationship when she's in-between men, but when she does have a man, she treats the other woman horribly. The BI said that the other chick puts up with it because she's deeply in love with Ms. "I'll kick it with you 'til I find a man". Well, most of us thought this was Sanaa and Regina Hall, but Ms. Lathan just said she ain't gay, just a girl's girl, in a recent interview (at the very bottom of the page)

We are going to have to make a plan or something about these nosy bosses. Girl mine acts like she has to know everything all of the time. I'm like would you get a damn life. She does everyone like this though, but it's so annoying. SHE HAS TO BE STOPPED!!! LOL
Reply to this
You've got nothing on mine. She works on her vacation days and even sent emails on Resurrection Sunday. I have received meeting invites time stamped 3:39 a.m. I'm like WTH? I give her props for knowing her business but she is a real workaholic & rarely lets her head down. I usually lurk a little at work but she keeps a sister busy. The only thing she would like about PR is the comparisons to CSI- her fav show. She is all about solving something-LOL
Reply to this
I wonder what your boss is trying to hide from. If it's from herself, tell her it won't work. Her level of workaholism is pathological. There's definitely something very wrong there.
Reply to this
There's a lot. I suspect that she was not the most popular girl as a youngster and has always had to provve herself. She is not good with not being in total control so fun is not a term synonmus with her. Our segment of the business is very specific and she has done it for a long time & is praised for her business accumen. However she has not risen higher because of the other part of the equation. Believe it or not, she said she read a book "Wherever you are, there you go" We were at a social lunch & had a glass of wine or 3 so this was her idea of team building- sharing that snippet.(you kinow the 1st thing that popped in my head was Teddy Pwendergrass said that shit long time ago & ole boy bite him from You Can't hide from yourself, but I digress). I am knew to this area of the business but she gives me respect because I will stand unflinchingly toe to toe with her when it comes to my direct reports. She makes me want to do better bec she has the business thing down pact but you know there are a lot of demons right below the surface.

LOL @ "d*ck is free."
Yes, Rocko "Monica is my peeps" Da Don's pox-faced self isn't handsome. And although I stan for marriage before children, I think Monica's little untraditional "family" is cute. I think she's in her right mind, so if she wants to be a "baby mamma," she can knock herself out; but if she ends up needing charity or complaining when Rocko "Monica is my peeps" Da Don doesn't marry her, I won't feel sorry for her.

This sounds like Foxy Brown. She smells bad, her weave and gear is always jacked. She despises Beyonce because of Jay Z. Brandy will NEVER be broke! Sonia Norwood made sure of that besides she's still getting paid from Moesha.
Reply to this
Like BET, UPN does not pay residuals. Cable networks don't pay residuals, only the majors do so Brandy is not getting paid for Moesha like none of the Soul Food cast is getting paid for soul food.
Reply to this
Who said anything about BET or UPN. Trust me when I tell you Sonia made sure Brandy was taken care of and she does see residuals from Moesha. This is fact not internet gossip.
Reply to this
I thought most actors nowadays are savvy enough to make sure they see a piece of the syndication profits. It's my understanding that every tv show's goal is to make it to 100 episodes so they can get syndicated. Being that Brandy was the star, surely she should have gotten a piece of the action. Now, she could be spending like a madwoman. From that janky (yes, janky) reality show she had a while ago, we know she can spend money like it's going out of style. Ray J, too. Hell, he had to resort to a sex tape for quick cash!

That's not exactly true GS.. here's how.. once the program goes into syndication you will get residuals based on how you negotiated the contract.
Reply to this
GS is right and wrong, the Soul Food actors see no residuals in syndication, I work in syndication, this is known. Tracey Edmonds may have had something to do with that, I don't know. Brandy may be getting a little something something.

I agree. Foxy Brown just looks plain stank and cheap.
Reply to this
Oh yeah, Gorgeous One...I wasn't sayin' I believed her for a minute. She and Regina's body language in photos tells quite another story than the one Sanna is spouting. Check out the scores of pics of them together over on Wire Image. As did Regina's appearance on The Tyra Banks show when she mentioned Sanaa every 2 sentences and how they're best friends and were living 2gether while Regina's house had some work done. That woman was practically swoonin' about Sanaa. It was kinda cute, but it's sad if she's only Sanaa's fall-back girl. As a gay chick myself they definitely ping my gaydar HARD, though I think Sanaa (and Gabby) dabbles and Regina is really a lesbian. I think the BI **is** them, but I found it interesting that Sanaa actually commented on the rumors at all. I like both of them as actresses BTW.

Hey Bass, I thought I was the only one that could see through them...As a straight man, it saddens me that Sanaa and I can't make a love connection, but she is a beautiful woman, and she can fall back on me anytime....LOL

@ Teina, i remember when Rocko said that crap about monica being his "peeps" and you know sandra rose was defending that garbage. The 1 time that i go on there she's up there talking about "Rocko only said that because he's in the limelight. He knows what he has with Monica and he doesn't need to tell the world" or something like that. He meant what he said and he is always cheaing on monica. He looks at her only as his baby mama, anyone can see it. Only SR would defend that type of behavior. She acts like she be in the bedroom with them or something because she gets so defensive about those 2.

Lost all respect for SOHH, and they advertise themselves as the oldest hip hop site on the internet. If you have so much history, why can't your sources (you have built up over the years) supply you with news to report instead of jacking it from another site, a newer site at that. Maybe they have to steal material since their site was compromised but why couldn't they give credit. I hope PR sues the hell out of them because I know PR lawyers shut down an on air personality for jacking their BI's and not giving credit. Rumors circulating on that one big time back in the day in LaLa land.

Who's hating darling, the gorgeous one states her opinion and move on. PR posted a photo of her house eons ago, the press release apparently had it listed at 2 million and other sites showed it as well.

Yes Pretty, it's pathetic. You know it's sad when a beautiful, successful, supposedly strong and supposedly independent woman refers to a man, I mean thug, as her fiance, and said man, I mean thug, refers to the woman as his "peeps."

Sohh blog is run by a fan and not staff. Anybody can get a blog over there. Terrance Dean even has a blog. It's set up with SOHH links but content is sole responsiblity of the fan.

I just saw the tagline but haven't heard what was actually said. Messy Jesse gets on my da*m nerves for more reasons then one. Probably mad cause he won't be getting some "bring us some black vote" money from the Clintons.
Reply to this
Amen. I think I amen'ed you on another post too. I swear I'm not stalking! But I think you're right about the origination of Jesse's comments. The Clintons were probably dumb/racist enough to still believe that giving Jesse some "black vote" money would actually get them votes. Meanwhile, Barack's got some sense and realized that Jesse hasn't been anything but a windbag for a very long time. Even his own son denounced his comments, probably harsher than needed to be, but I guess Jesse Jr. wanted to prove a point to Barack. He is a bigwig in Barack's campaign org after all.
What I can't wait to see is how much money Barack gives Hillary to retire her campaign debt. For some reason, I'm getting the impression that the $4600 check Barack gave her on behalf of him and Michelle (max allowable) is about all Hillary's going to see. Yeah, there might be a few more dribbles and drabbles here and there, but Hillary's probably going to have to take care of that $20 mil campaign debt by herself.
Reply to this
Hey Greeneyes! Yeah, not feeling a thing at all regarding the Clintons debt... they can cut a check and pay that all all by themselves. It's a shame that Jesse is such a pity party. You don't make comments like that off the cuff, and it's even worse when your main defense is I didn't realize I was being heard. I think he's a little jealous that Obama has a chance to be president and he does not.

I read this was engineered by Madonna and her manager (who is also A-Rod's manager and was Lenny Kravitz's manager up until a couple of weeks ago) to drum up publicity for her. Since she was getting divorced anyway, might as well do it with a bang. I guess her British phase is over...

little known(useless)fact. i used to be a moderator on SOHH for several years. left (got booted) when youngins started over running the boards,the immaturity got out of control, and one of the main mods got power sick and hungry, and began doing things "on a whim"--her words not mine.
SOHH is a great site overall,i love hip hop but it got to be too much for the kid over there. on the real i still do check their daily hip hop news...and notice they been jacking PR BI's (ive been on PR for the past 1.5 years)

LOL @ GEPS.

At least Bossip, Sandra Rose and Concrete Loop give PR credit when they run their blind items. Tacky tacky and shame on your Sohh. I remember when PR did the richest in hip hop list last year, sohh tried to rip the list apart and their own readers told them they were not reading the figures right and were just throwing quotes out there, lying on PR and trying to bash them in that article but PR is good enough to steal from and not credit. SMH.

Hi Panachigans: Greetings and Cyberhugs to:Bullrida,Peaches,BrookLynn,Mscoleman,GoldenGirl,Bingo,SouthnDiva,Sheknows,Karamelbella...and to all the lurkers and fabulous regulars to the site
As for today's BI: I am torn and confused.I am personally notting Brandy and KeyshiaC. Other than Brandy's hair pieces and weaves,no one is checking for her like that.I am no fan of Keyshia but i'm willing to give her the benefit of a doubt.
However,there's too much evidence on Fantasia.She has the voice that can be "legendary" but her appearance annoys me to no end....the rainbow bright hair,Forever21 clothes,rapper bf that no one has ever heard of and her sorry attendence record on the Color Purple.I was fortunate to see her on Bdway and she was the truth...she and the cast was excellent in every way.She has potential if she will commit to cleaning up her ghetto tendencies,lose some weight,get a vocal coach and dress with some taste and class.
Then there's Monica.I always thought that she was too grown for her own good when she first came out.She still looks good and the voice is still there but those obnoxious tattoos make me crazy.She's another one on a long list of celeb's that need media training and etiquette lessons in the worst way.

Hey OrangeKat, you are so right. Fantasia was made for that Celie role and she blew it. I was so disappointed to hear about her behavior.
Reply to this
Exactly, Peaches there is no way in Hell that I would have blew an opportunity provided by Oprah... No way-No how...I have seen it over and over again...When Oprah likes somebody's talent and their work ethic, she usually keeps them around or calls them for later projects. Not a smart move at all Fantasia...

Especially in today's music industry. Very few people are cranking out platinum sales, so a nice steady paycheck is a good thing. Oh, well. Hindsight is 20/20.
Btw, thanks for note above. Much appreciated!

Hey there...
I hope you're feeling better.
I meant to tell you that I saw your post about the African Street Fair - I didn't realize they moved it from Boys & Girls High.
The days flew by so quickly that I never got an opportunity to get over that way. Plus, I wasn't too sure how muddy the park was going to be since it was raining off and on for a couple of days.
I'm kinda torn with this BI as well, there is alot of evidence pointing to Fantasia.
But, I thought of Keyshia Coles because of the Dog Whisperer thing, from watching her show she appears to be all about folks going to therapy. At one point she had her manager, best friend, mother and sister in therapy together - so getting a dog whisperer wouldn't be unusual for her.
She has changed her appearance, new teefus', hair, clothes, etc...So I could see the whole Beverly Hills wannabe vibe going. Plus, we all know if Jeezy gifted her with houses and cars its' just a matter of time before they're snatched from her.
I hope she's not tart - but - again that wouldn't seem so far fetched, because in my opinion she still is a bit rough around the edges.
I could see her being a little "unfresh" in the underarm area.
Shower to Shower anyone?
Just a sprinkle a day....
Hello to you all (even the ones who don't acknowledge my hellos
I got some time to kill so I'll be on today.
Last thing...pull down your skirt Jesse, the bitch is showing - jealousy is a mug!

He just proves what's said about us all the time, we can't freaking stick together!!!
FOR SHAME JESSE, for shame...

Hey Brook Lynn- I agree...they were discussing this on the news & saying that he has had a slip up before with on/off mic so how could this happen again....and the things we heard shouldn't have been said near a mic period. Now he will feing contriteness but he's achieved goal to get some of the spotlight back on himself. What an ass! And Baby Boy didn't get in that behind enough. He had to speak up.

Hey PR Fam~
I hope everyone has had a blessed hump day!!!
Has anyone heard or read the comments that Jesse Jackson made about Barack Obama speaking in the black churches? Wolf B said the comments were to crude to repeat but I haven't been able to catch it.

hi karamelbella
ok , it took me a while to figure out your name , i guess a long day ... I don't know about what jesse said ... but are you from chicago ?
I think you might have mentioned before you were if not , sorry!!!!
Do you know of alibis restaurant ? if so what is on the menu , and what is it known for ?
thanks in advance

Hey Tigress~
No problem...I'm from Missouri and not the chi...I wish I could help you out with the menu question. but there are plenty of people from the chi on here that can help you out tho.

Wow, Jackson should go sit down somewhere. He's complaining that Obama's recent talks in black churches focused disproportionately on black males' moral deficiencies, and not enough on broader issues that affect black males like violence, unemployment etc. Maybe Obama's speeches stepped on his toes a wee bit since Jackson does have that out-of-wedlock-while-married child by that young lady in California. And wasn't that interesting how years ago when Jacson threatened to boycott Toyota over whatever "cause," he negotiated a truce with the company that allegedly included a nice cushy executive position with Toyota for his mistress. Oh, sorry, I didn't know the mistress' job was supposed to be a secret. And when did Jackson's wife all of a sudden find the kind of independence where she endorsed Clinton, while her husband "endorsed" Obama? Please, that "divided" political house is a very transparent sham. She didn't have that kind of independence to deal with her husband's infidelity, instead showing up in church the weekend after the love-child story broke, to stand by her man. With her dignified, independent, strong self.

Yes, Teina, you are right!Uhmmm... what irks me most about Rev.Jackson is when Bill Cosby said the exact same thing a couple of months/years ago and Rev.Jackson whole heartedly agreed with him. I don't know how he can side with Cosby, when he pays child support and sluts around on his wife all of the time. Negroes like that kill me with his convenient hypocrisy! Dang, he gets on my last nerve with that mess!smh....And, what business does a Reverend have saying that he wants snatch some one's Ba!!s off, or some ignorant type remark like that.Uhmmm... these people are nuts!!!

Basically its one Boule' member looking out for another Boule' member.Thats the beauty of these secret societies (Boule',Skull&Bones,Masons) they all look out for each other.

Did Jesse ever think that if black males took care of their responsibilities to their children, including fostering a nurturing relationship, then there would be less violence and potentially unemployment, as the two are connected.
Reply to this
I know a great many black men who take care of their responsibilities, are loving, and fully present in their families. I am an Obama supporter, but I am also honest enough to acknowledge that he is looking at the problem through his own experiences with his absentee father and he does have to broaden his perspective. Otherwise, he (we) perpetuate a stereotype. Be certain that absentee fathers and single-parent families; unemployment and underemployment; are not limited to the black male. Fairness and authenticity require that Obama balance his statements to that extent.
He will still get my vote becau
