I was thinking the same thing. Why is it that non- AA artists are celebrated when they become parents (shoot, becoming a parent dayum near boosts their popularity), but not us?? It's a sin and shame I tell ya. :mad:

I believe that Toni's dad is still alive. However, I think that her parents are divorced.

Yes, he is still alive, but they got divorced last year, so this was probably the reason why he wasn't there as well.

I saw it too.....
 

I thought the documentary was interesting. I never knew that she was given so much grief by her record label for having a couple of kids. I mean what do you expect....she was newly married and very much in love with her husband. I mean, give me a break.

Another thing, I didnt realize how small she was. When she was seven months it looked like she was only 5 months. I mean, she was tiny.

I think she did a good thing by going on braodway. I think that was a great move on her part and she could benefit greatly from the break away from Hip Hop and R&B. I also didnt know that she made that many albums.
I see her in a totally different light. As a mother, she is great and you can tell that she really loves her children. All I have to say now is....YOU GO GIRL!!!

Eddie Continues with Family Movie
 

Eddie Murphy Looking at More 'Daddy' Time

By Zorianna Kit

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Eddie Murphy (news) could be set to reprise his role as a harried dad in "Daddy Day Camp," a sequel to his summer hit "Daddy Day Care."


While no deal is yet in place for the actor, the film's producer, Revolution Studios, has hired "Toy Story" scribes Joel Cohen and Alec Sokolow to write a script. In the sequel, Murphy's character would be put in charge of a summer day camp.


Originally set up at 20th Century Fox, "Daddy Day Care" was picked up in turnaround by Revolution, which is based at Sony. It grossed $101 million domestically, a return to form for Murphy after he last year starred in three flops -- "I Spy," "The Adventures of Pluto Nash" and "Showtime."


"'Daddy Day Care' was a good idea, a great title and showed Eddie's track record with family movies such as 'Dr. Dolittle,' 'The Nutty Professor' and 'Shrek,"' Revolution founder Joe Roth said.


All three films have spawned sequels -- "Dr. Dolittle 2," "Nutty Professor II: The Klumps" and the summer 2004 release "Shrek 2." http://www.handykult.de/plaudersmili...y/luxhello.gifhttp://www.handykult.de/plaudersmili...y/luxhello.gif

FORMER EX-LOVER OF NBA SUPERSTAR SCOTTIE PIPPEN SPEAKS OUT

With so much in the news about Kobe Bryant and his sexual assault case, the news media will soon have another story to cover. Brent Worthington, who is now an Atlanta resident claims to be a former ex-lover of Chicago Bulls NBA Basketball super star Scottie Pippen. After 20 years he is now speaking out about an on again, off again relationship the two shared together while
attending Central Arkansas University back in the 80's.

Brent who now lives in the Midtown-Piedmont Park area of Atlanta is a co-owner/hairstylist of a popular trendy Buckhead Hair Salon. He is speaking out about the 2 year relationship and sharing video clips of the days the two shared a personal and intimate relationship together while the two were just young students at Central Arkansas University located in Conway,
Arkansas.

Tiffany Long, (AG) reporter sat down and interviewed Brent at his high rise Midtown condo. When and how did you two meet? "We met back at CAU in a Biology class. He was only 19 years old at the time and I was 18. Scottie was a struggling basketball player who had little money and basically no financial support from his family. Before Scottie ever became famous, he was a struggling student at CAU. He was on a basketball scholarship, but he and
his family had very little money. My father was an Investment banker and my mother a local socialite back in Little Rock, Arkansas. My parents were very close friends with Hillary and Bill Clinton who at the time was Governor of Arkansas."

"Why are you now coming out with this story after 20 or so years?," asked Tiffany. "Well, Scottie and me stayed in contact throughout the years. I basically took care of Scottie when we were in college. I put clothes on his back, brought him shoes to play basketball, feed him, payed his rent for an apartment off campus, give him money for a car and even asked my parents for money to help a friend pay tuition. They never knew it was for Scottie. I told them that It was for my roommate.

After my father went to jail for his involvement in the White Water Scandal in Arkansas, my mother and I were basically penniless. Scottie who at the time was on the verge of becoming a raising basketball star and was making some money. I called Scottie one day and told him that I was relocating to Atlanta and asked if he would loan me $500 to pay my mothers rent before I left and also asked for a small loan for a down payment on a new salon that
I was trying to open up here in Atlanta. I told Scottie that I was not asking for a hand out, just for some help. I told him once I got my business off the ground and increased my clientele
that I would pay him back every single dime with interest. Scottie screamed at me over the telephone and told me that if he every saw me again that he would kill me. He later ended our conversation by hanging the phone up in my face.

I was really hurt about the situation because I truly sincerely loved this man. If it wasn't for me and my family, Scottie may not have been the person that we all know of today. After my father went to the federal pen, my mother had to file for bankruptcy and we lost everything. She had to live in a $500 a month roach infested apartment and worked at a retail store behind
a makeup counter in Little Rock.

I contemplated committing suicide, but I had to stay strong for my mother and little brother. While at Central Arkansas University upon Scottie's request, we would have fun by making home videos at my apartment. These home video were X-Rated and steamy in nature, 16 in all. Scottie gave names to each and everyone of the videos and wrote the title with a black magic
marker on the tapes. He called one of them, "My White Slave." Scottie loved to role play and make home movies of the two of us. He would later love to watch them while we were engaging in intercourse.

On one occasion, I contracted an STD from Scottie. I was involved with him for two years and never slept around. I was truly committed to this man and cared for him a great deal. There was nothing I would not do for Scottie. He accused me of infidelity and he beat me black and blue. I did not report the incident to the authorities because I loved him and did not want the public to know about the secret life of the raising Central Arkansas
University basketball star.

On another occasion, a very close friend of mine who travel with CAU's basketball team and kept their basketball stats. told me that he too was involved with Scottie. He said that while on road trips, he and Scottie would sneak out and be together on the team bus. This deeply hurt me more and when I confronted Scottie, he slapped me and told me to mind my business. I still continued on with our relationship because I knew that Scottie had a lot of pressure on him with his basketball and his finances.
Our two year relationship later ended after he found his self interested in women.

After much thought and consideration and over 20 years of hurt,
disappointment and betrayal, I have decided to come public with the story and my relationship with the NBA star and write a book. It is properly entitled, "My Years With A Rising NBA Star." It is about my personal encounter with Scottie and our 2 year relationship. Brent is presently trying to get a book deal so that his story can be told. He also has the 16 volume home videos collection of the two when young Scottie was a struggling college basketball star in a "SAFE PLACE."

:eek:

Don't buy it
 

I'm sorry, I'm not buying Scott Pippen as bisexual. This dude prolly just wants to sell books.

http://www.handykult.de/plaudersmilies.de/eek2.gif

Well I'll be dayumed!!!!!:eek: :eek:

Re: Don't buy it
 

I can't say whether I believe or not because I don't know the intimate Scottie, but I do believe this guy is trying to sell his book.

But I will be tooooo through if he breaks out the video tapes.

If he is making this story up, he has a lawsuit on his hands.

:eek: :eek: :eek:, is right.

so i'm reading this and i'm wondering: assuming this story is true, could Scottie Pippen be the model for "Basil" in E. Lynn Harris' books? i mean Scottie's from Ark., E. Lynn's from Ark., they're about the same age...okay, maybe it's a stretch...:p
but i was just wonderin'...

Re: Re: Don't buy it
 

Completely agreed with the lawsuit thing, although I'm not sure of the case law regarding slander as committed by an individual, not the media.

Didn't Pippen go to University of Central Arkansas which would be UCA, or Central Arkansas University CAU?

And me too! I'm like whoa! Ya know this makes me re-examine how many (black)men are out there living a double lifestyle....

That article had way too many grammatical errors. . . .it is not PAYED, it is PAID.

I don't buy it at all.
