Diahann Carroll Puts Sidney on Blast!


Whoever said classy chicks always take the high road is a bold face liar! Dihann Carroll is coming out with a memoir and she has no bad mouthing well respected actor Sidney Poitier and his relationship woes when it came to her! Peep below via nypost.com:

In her new memoir, “The Legs Are the Last to Go,” Diahann Carroll - the Bronx-born beauty who made history as TV’s first black sitcom star in “Julia” - portrays Poitier as a heel who convinced her and first hubby Monte Kay to divorce after confronting Kay, saying he loved Carroll and was splitting from his wife to be with her. She writes: “Sidney called me at my hotel . . . ‘You bitch, whore, tramp,’ he yelled. ‘I know he just left your bed. I won’t have you running around with other men. You belong to me!’ “

Things got worse when, she says, Poitier told her he’d finally called it quits with his wife, Juanita Hardy, bought her a ring, and had her decorate a 10-room Riverside Drive apartment he’d bought. “I was only home a few days when he called to say his wife was having second thoughts. Our wedding plans would have to be postponed,” Carroll writes. “When the apartment was ready and I was about to move my daughter in with me, Sidney told me he didn’t want her there . . . He changed the locks so I couldn’t get in. Then he made me write him a check to offset his purchase and decorating costs. I did as I was told, submissive and desperate.”


Man the Superhead movement just won't die! Even oldies but goodies are getting a piece of the pie! While ya'll playing Imma go get a copy asap!

J Hud and Punk Make it Official


Seems like Jennifer Hudson has found love again! She and "I Love NY" reality star Punk are tying the knot according to People.com! Read below:

“I can confirm that Jennifer got engaged to her boyfriend David on Friday night in L.A.” says the rep. Otunga, who is known as “Punk” from the reality show I Love New York 2, popped the question with a Neil Lane diamond ring on the Dreamgirls Oscar winner’s 27th birthday. The couple, who have been dating less than a year, both hail from Chicago. Professionally, it is a busy time for Hudson as well. Her debut solo album, Jennifer Hudson, will be in stores Sept. 30, and her next film, The Secret Life of Bees opens on Oct. 17.

Something just don't seem right about this but... Until something or someone goes hay way I cant say a thing! Congrats!

Brandy gets Emotional on TRL



Brandy went to TRL to premiere her new video Right Here (Departed) and while the video was playing teared up thinking about all she's been through! Now that's deep... and little corny at the same time but too each it's own! Just a sidenote that close up really shows the poor quality in her lace front... NOT A GOOD LOOK! Moving on though I can't wait for the album to drop ;-)

Baby Mama Drama... The TI Edition


Looks like TIs ex flame and Baby mama has been taking notice to TIs good fortune. According to a local Atlanta paper (Fort Mill Times) 29 year old Lashon Dixon is taking TI to court for child support payments. Dixon seems to fill that she is entitled to more money than the 2,000 bucks she receives a month. The two have two sons 7 and 8 whom TI's ex claims need more financial support. TI and his BM were together before his rise to fame, and it comes as no surprise that she would want more money seeing ow TIs income has increased! Not for nothing but one cant even raise a newborn on 2,000 a month let alone some growing boys! Thats like tryna make a dollar out of 15 cents... it aint happening!

Serena is racking in the Dough!


Looks like Serena's assets are getting even larger... No pun intended! US Open winner Serena Williams is in talks with numerous publishers about a book deal. And from what I hear the figures for signing on the book are at 1 million bucks! Not sure what the premise for the book will be but I'm guessing a good 'ole motivational life story or something! I'll keep you posted on this, I'm happy to see African American women being positive role models to those who look up to them ;-) It's a beautiful thing!

Kelly has Crossed Over For Real....


Check out Kelly and her new main squeeze who's pastier than some dried Elmer's glue! I always thought Kelly was capable of going either way but... I def thought her choice would be someone with more sex appeal... Hey come to think of it maybe this is were her increase in cash flow is coming from! Just a thought ;-)

Jailhouse Rock: The Kanye West Edition


Kanye has just been arrested for felony vandalism. Read below for the juicy details via TMZ:

A still photographer was trying to take pics of Kanye at the American Airlines terminal. According to our guy on the scene, Kanye allegedly confronted the photog and smashed his camera to the ground.

Our photog then began videotaping the scene when Kanye’s assistant grabbed our camera — a struggle ensued and the assistant threw the video camera to the ground, breaking it. When Kanye realized our camera guy had videotaped the incident, he rushed our guy and yelled, “Gimme that f**king tape!”

Both Kanye and his assistant have been arrested and will be booked.


Wow... and there's video to prove it! Check it out:

Janet Still Got It!


Janet kicked off her Rock With You tour yesterday in Vancouver and word on the street is the show was amazing, still proving Ms.Jackson to be the trendsetter that she is! A reviewer says:

"It is a reminder that she is a trend-setter in her own right, a true diva, and a marvelous performer," says the critic for the Vancouver Sun.

The show consists of 10 dancers, numerous costume changes, and 2.5 hours worth of great music and good entertainment! The show list consists of such hits as Pleasure Principle, Control, What Have You Done For Me Lately and of course a show wouldn't be a show without Rhythm Nation!

Ciara is Mad at Vibe...


According to the streets singer Ciara is pissed off at the current Vibe cover which showcases her in the nude. A source of mine tells me that Ciara may take the mag to court because of alteration of photos which give the allusion that she is naked. Ciara says that the photo's were airbrushed and she did indeed have some type of clothing on! Not for nothing but it must not have been too much clothing cause aint that much airbrushing in the world. Then again looking at J Huds promo pics... anythings possible ;-) I'll keep you all posted on this as more info surfaces!
