I know many have been wondering how she's been doing since Bebe passed. According to this, not well. :( :(

BTW, JHud is working that dress!! :D :D

I figured that book "72 Hour Hold" was about Bebe's daughter. This is soo sad. The girl has a mental illness and is on drugs. Lord please help her. :(

^^^And if that is true, it is not something to be fodder for tabloidish blogs. I really think there are quite a few in the public eye that have some sort of mental illness, which explains some of their extreme behaviors.

Two words: Alonzo.Mourning. That man is gorgeous.

I'm sad to hear that about Maia Campbell.

Did Y'all Hear About This?

BEYONCE BUMPS Kelly Rowland FROM VIBE COVER

Pop beauty Beyonce bumped her best friend Kelly Rowland from the June 2007cover reports Media Take Out.

Vibe reportedly promised the June cover to Kelly months ago. A insider claims, "Usually, we try and give the cover to an artist whose album drops that month. So for example, we had R Kelly [who's album Double Up drops May 29th] on the cover of the May issue ... When Kelly announced that she was releasing her comeback album in June, we set her to cover the June issue."

"About a month ago, we started hearing that Beyonce wanted to do an interview with us - so we jumped at it." The insider continued, "Usually when Beyonce gives us an interview - we give her the cover ... but we figured that since [she] and Kelly are so close, she wouldn't ask us for it."

But Beyonce's reps reportedly demanded that she be on the cover. "They were basically like - if you don't put her on the cover, then don't expect any interviews in the future ... We almost couldn't believe what we were hearing."

And here is the Vibe cover for Beyonce:

And here WAS the Vibe cover for Kelly Rowland:

Singing Dionne Warwick's, "That's What Friends are For." :rolleyes:

I hope this works!

Delph I can't see the pics. I wanted to see Kelly's cover. And the Beyonce article did not shed any light on anything. Boo on B!!

Yup, I heard about Bey bumping Kelly for the cover, and that is very deep. I'm saying damn......booo hiss on Bey.

Neither one of the covers are worth anything. Why not put Christette Michelle on the cover?

I wonder though if this is really the case or is somebody just trying to kick up mess between the two again. I mean VIBE has released issues with several different covers in one month... so maybe that's the case?! If not then she is dead wrong for bumping her "friend" like that... but I guess it's the nature of the business, right? :rolleyes:

Media Take Out is notoriously unreliable, so I take this with a grain of salt. However, I like Kelendria Trene's short hairdo on this cover. Better than the wet and wavy on Beyonce Giselle.

I have another theory. There may have been plans to do a double cover, but since Vibe's sales have done down, they can probalby only afford to do B on the cover, in a way to boost sales.

I'm taking the story with the VIBE covers with a chunk of salt.

Look at Bey's cover that includes text.

Now, look at Kelly's cover:

http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL137.../252029628.jpg

How would a magazine cover text on the cover with an elbow? If nothing else, the elbows and/or biceps would be covered by the text, and I could see some alphabets or symbols. (VIBE has always allowed the title of the mag to be covered, so that's not up for debate.) Looks like some technological tomfoolery to create a situation to hype up a blog to.

And that is a beautiful (somewhat) natural pic of Kelly. Better than one with vast amounts of weave and makeup that I saw recently.

I agree that drippy, "I just got out the shower" look is not where it's at!!! Not very becoming.
