''Iyanla'' will talk no more
By Melissa Grego

HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - Freshman syndicated talk show ``Iyanla,'' starring prolific author Iyanla Vanzant, has been canceled.

Production will wrap at the end of this week. Reruns will air in national syndication through the end of March.

``Iyanla'' is one of many syndicated shows to struggle this season. The court show ``Power of Attorney,'' talk show ``Talk or Walk'' and game show ``Card Sharks'' already have been canceled.

``It would have been great if the show would have worked but it is really ok that it didn't,'' Vanzant said in a statement blaming the show's demise on the Sept. 11 tragedy. ``I am grateful to have had the opportunity. Sometimes the climate is not right for what you are doing.''

``Iyanla,'' executive produced by news maven Barbara Walters and her business partner Bill Geddie, lost its prime 10 a.m. slot in the key Los Angeles market earlier this year.

I can't beleive Iyana blamed her show for failing on Sept 11! Whatever man! QTE

************************************************** **

Word from the NY Post that BEYONCÉ KNOWLES has been forced to give up her beloved Popeye's Fried Chicken while she's "slimming down" for her upcoming role in the next "Austin Powers" film, "Goldmember." Her contract allegedly stipulates that she undergo daily workouts with a personal trainer.
But Beyoncé, who's made her preferences known and has a "lifetime membership" card that entitles her to free food at any of the company's fast-food outlets around the world, decided the temptation was too great and has given the card to her father to hold.

I agree that was so straight up and down ticky tacky. UGH!! I saw but did not PAY ATTENTION to her show one day @ the dealership and I just was not feeling it. I found the show to be just another drop of water in a bucket full.

I heard....
 

I heard that J-Lo and Mariah Carey are beefing. I missed the tail end but I heard they are beefings for some reason or another. Did anyone else here this on the Russ Parr Morning Show this morning 1/16/01?

Beyonce to slim down? Into what? That child is already skinny enough!

:rolleyes: :confused:

Here is the article from www.etonline.com explaining the beef between Mariah and J Lo.


Clash of the Sexpots!

September 04, 2001



MARIAH CAREY didn't hold back about rival JENNIFER LOPEZ when Allure magazine reporter VANESSA GRIGORIADIS sat down with her earlier in the summer (pre-breakdown) for a candid chat. In October's Talk magazine, Vanessa shares her experience -- and some interesting Mariah moments -- from their meeting.

The background on the girls' feud is that J.Lo is signed to Sony records, Mariah's former label, which also happens to be run by her former husband, TOMMY MOTTOLA. Rumor has it that Tommy has taken sexy J.Lo under his wing and is working the same magic for Jen's career that he did for Mariah back in her Sony days.

When an interview with Lopez was mentioned by Grigoriadis, Mariah commented (sarcastically), "I bet it was really intellectually stimulating ... I bet you could just see the depth in her eyes, she was so soulful."

She also took jabs about current chart-topper J.Lo's singing ability, reacting to Jennifer's comments that she gets eight hours of sleep per night, "If I had the luxury of not actually having to sing my own songs, I'd do that too."

Shortly after the interview, Mariah had her famous "mental and physical breakdown" (So maybe Jennifer can take that into account!). For more on the Mariah and Jennifer rivalry check out the October issue of Talk magazine for the full story.

more gossip
 

I heard on our radio station that Jamie Foxx and Mariah Carey's brother(cousin, whatever) got into a fight backstage at Ali's 60th B Day Bash, because Foxx kept making jokes about her breakdown.

More show cancellations
 

I heard The Ananda Lewis Show has been cancelled too!!!

Re: More show cancellations
 

She is one of the few people in entertainment who I think can say that she was legitimately hurt by 9-11. because her show debuted two days before it, and was preempted for one week by straigh news coverage. By the time it came back on the world had changed.

Plus, every time I turned her show on for like three weeks (I was jobless at the time) it wold be about 9-11. After all that CNN coverage I did not want to see anymore, but that's just me...

C Murder was arrested again for shooting a 16 year old at a night club last Friday night...not again? He was arrested last night in the HOB, then booked for the shooting from last week.

It's so ironic because I was near the club right before it happened, and I didn't even know it until afterwards. :eek:


He's gonna get locked up for a good while.

ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Re: More show cancellations
 

I didn't think that her show was gonna stay on long anyway...there really wasn't a basis to it........I was channel surfing one day and came across it, and my Mom sat down for a minute, and after only that minute looked at me and said...."Who did she have to sleep with to get a show?" :confused: I could do nothing but sit there and laugh!!! :D

Re: Re: I heard....
 

The only difference between Mariah and JLo is that Mariah CAN SING!!

C Murder's....LITERALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rapper arrested in shooting death

NEW ORLEANS - Rapper C-Murder, the younger brother of music artist Master P, has been arrested in the shooting death of a 16-year-old at a nightclub, authorities said.

Police accused Corey Miller, 30, of fatally shooting Steve Thomas following an argument Jan. 12 at the Platinum Club in Harvey, La.

Miller has not yet been charged. Prosecutors will decide what charges he should face, police said.

As many as 300 people were inside the club when Miller, who was out on bail on an attempted murder charge in Baton Rouge, pulled out a handgun and killed Thomas with a single gunshot, police said.

There was no indication that Thomas had pulled out a weapon, and the reason for the argument was unknown, authorities said.

Officials at the Jefferson Parish jail said Saturday that Miller did not yet have an attorney.

Starting in the late 1990s, Miller was the core artist on No Limit Records. Roy Maughan Jr., an attorney for Master P's No Limit Records, said the record company might provide a statement later.

Re: C Murder's....LITERALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Ok, I forgot to add this but....

What is C-murder (who is 30 yrs. old) and a 16 yrs. old doing at the same club? I'm 27 and IF I do go to a club (which is about 3 times a year) it is definitaly not some place where youngin's will be hanging out!
