I don't know if these pics have been posted before, but it looks like she can't be too far away now. She looks a lot like Beyonce in the 2nd and 3rd pics.

Again, I saw this coming. **SMH**

Re: Re: NOT ANOTHER BRANDY!!!!
 

is that woman with her one of her "servants"?

Re: NOT ANOTHER BRANDY!!!!
 

Huh? Ummm, how did that happen? :confused: :eek:

Re: Re: Re: NOT ANOTHER BRANDY!!!!
 

It actually looks like their cousin. I forgot her name, but she was on Beyonce: Behind the Music and she was on one of the pictures from Beyonce's b-day party last year. If I'm not mistaken, I think it's her. If not, they resemble one another.

I understand about the image that her family wants to have and everything, but I don't think I could ever justify paying a man to marry my daughter. It just isn't that serious. How did Solange feel knowing that her dad paid her baby daddy off? I'd feel kinda weird about that. I mean, of course he's gonna be involved in the child's life now. He stands to make more money off of the deal. I think the family involvement made a bad situation worse.

Re: Re: Re: Re: NOT ANOTHER BRANDY!!!!
 

That's their cousin Angie. She's Beyonce's personal assistant.

Re: Re: NOT ANOTHER BRANDY!!!!
 

Matthew gets PAID being "Bs" manager. Solange may have made a FEW dollars with Johnson's family reunion, but I'm sure the home is in Matt's and Tina's name.

Re: Re: Re: NOT ANOTHER BRANDY!!!!
 

Do you guys think she makes money writing songs? I think she's a songwriter.

No, she doesn't make a lot of money as a songwriter. That money comes from royalty checks, and your songs have to get played in order to get some loot as a writer.

I'd be mad as hell if my daddy paid some dude off to marry me, what kind of message is that?

To play the Devil's advocate, it really is no different from a dowry. Because this is something that we don't really do in our culture, it seems weird. But lots of people "get paid" to marry someone. Just not a million dollars. And why would you say after 30 days??? What a waste of a million dollars. I would have made the agreement 5 years, and you get a cool $200,000 per year until the deal is complete. Thirty days... what a schmuck.

Not that I would ever have to pay someone to marry my baby. People might be trying to pay ME! That's if I have a baby and if it's a girl. Ah, I've digressed... :D

But, what did Solange get out of the deal? The parents got to cover up the "SCANDAL" :rolleyes:, ol' dude got a cool million, but what did Solange get? *coughcoughripoffcoughcough*

I don't think that is totally true. The money is in the writing and producing of materials, NOT solely being a singer.

As a writer, you get money whenever someone uses your material OR re-makes YOUR song. The money IS in writing. So, yeah...she's getting paid her songs are EVERYWHERE.

There are many artists out there we have not heard of who are writers. When artists like Usher, etc. make the money with the hits...so are the writers.

ETA: That's why Lionel Richie won't go broke...he is a songwriter! :D

according to supa cindy...

:eek:

EXACTLY!! What was the point for her? She's not an A list celebrity that we see on the news everyday. So, did she really have a 'rep' to protect. They could have done just as well to keep her in hiding until the baby was born or something like that. I just don't see why this was needed, especially if the dude bounced anyway. I mean, wasn't that the whole point of the sham marriage, so they could look like a happy couple that wanted to be together to raise their child? :confused:

Wait? So Solange's babydaddy has split? :o :confused:

Yep. He took the check, waited for it to clear, and ran it back for a touchdown! lol

Well we know she wasn't producing, lol. I know Usher writes some of his songs. My point was that they have to be played in order for anyone to make money and since her latest song was......uh...... lol... *crickets*

re:dowry, I get your point, sis, and I agree with you that if he was smart, he'd have stretched it out to 5 years.. lol.

October 18, 2004 -- THERE'S no doubt about it — the hubby of rocker Gwen Stefani is the father of a secret, 15-year-old love child, a new report claims. The bombshell news was deliv ered to Stefani, the sexy blonde singer with No Doubt, after DNA tests confirmed Gavin Rossdale (above with Ste fani), who fronts the band Bush, is the dad of teen fash ion model Daisy Lowe (left), the Mirror of London says. The mother of the girl is singer and de signer Pearl Lowe, who had a fling with Rossdale in the late '80s. "Yes, it's true, but out of respect to all parties concerned, I've no further com ment," Rossdale told the newspaper. Pearl also confirmed that Ros sdale is the dad. Friends said the shocker has been "devastating" to Stefani, who wed Rossdale six years ago, but as yet has no children with him. At the time of their wed ding, she told an interviewer, "I do think about babies and kids all the time and we re ally want them." Stefani, 35, is now on the brink of Hollywood stardom, playing Jean Harlow in the upcoming biopic about Howard Hughes, "The Aviator," with Leonardo DiCa prio in the title role. For years, Pearl had won dered whether Rossdale was Daisy's father and after several legal letters were exchanged, he agreed to take a DNA test to settle the sus picion once and for all. "It was never about getting Gavin's money or anything like that. It was about finding Daisy's real dad," an insider told the newspaper. "She has always had slight suspicions. . ." Daisy, who is signed with the Select model agency, lives with Pearl and her husband, rocker Danny Goffey, the drummer with Supergrass. Ironically, Rossdale, 38, is also Daisy's godfather and they speak regularly on the phone. The teen has been told he is her dad, but they haven't spo ken since the results of the paternity test.

Although the fact that he is the godfather is strange, it's nice that he isn't a stranger.

Shouldn't they have done a paternity test before now? Also Gwen and Gavin have only been married for two years.

Re: NOT ANOTHER BRANDY!!!!
 

I'm just not understanding this mess. Why have them get married in the first place, if they could annul the joint in 30 days. Just to say that she "was" married to her baby daddy...get real. So it turns out that she is by herself anyway....

ITA....how are you going to have "suspicions" for almost 15yrs? :confused: :rolleyes:

He the Godfather too? She's sloppy.

that was my thing. :confused: Maybe homegirl was shady like that. I feel bad for Gwen though b/c I know she has been wanting some chirren for a while now..:(

(and l like her new song, What Are You Waiting For?)

I feel bad for Gwen too. :( Nikki, I also like her new song. The video is crazy with the Alice in Wonderland theme. I've liked Gwen ever since I heard "Don't Speak".

I love No Doubt!
I wonder though if the child was part of the reason why they watied so long to get married though? hmmm

Ditto. I haven't heard the new song, though. I'll have to tune in to MTV.

Here's a link to her new video:

Lloyd Banks Denies Being In Gay Porno; Porn Star Steps Forward
By Chuck 'Jigsaw' Creekmur, BET.com Staff Writer

Posted October 14, 2004- Lloyd Banks is dismissing rumors that he is featured in a gay porno, where he is allegedly depicted having sex with another man.

Presently a streaming video clip of a Banks look-a-like having sex with another man is in circulation on the internet. Rumors are circulating online and on Hip Hop radio shows that the video was made prior to the 22-year-old becoming an adult as well.

However it has now been claimed by several sources that the actual man in the video is a porn star named Ty Lattimore.

The 28-year-old porn star supported this claim when we spoke to him directly. He told us that the video clip is from a movie called "Bam 2."

Lattimore stated, "'Bam 2' is one of many videos I have done. The scoop is that folks have this all wrong. I do not think we favor each other. I am a model and porn star here in Atlanta. I hate that folks are trying to hate on Lloyd and they need to do some research. There is plenty of info about me on the internet."

Lattimore said that he's starred in over 25 porno movies and has made a career out of it along with being a male model.

Banks, himself, has a company, Bank Shot Production, which will release a straight-to-DVD video called "Groupie Luv." The 2-DVD set features 17 women who which the viewer can choose and simulate interaction. "It's gonna be great, it will seem like you will be the one having sex," Banks said.

If Banks had actually been featured in a gay porno, it might, perhaps, make it difficult for him to be in 50 Cent's G-Unit clique. 50 explained his opinions on gay men to Playboy magazine earlier this year.

"I ain't into faggots," :rolleyes: 50 Cent told Playboy. "I don't like gay people around me, because I'm not comfortable with what their thoughts are. I'm not prejudiced. I just don't go with gay people and kick it - we don't have that much in common. I'd rather hang out with a straight dude. But women who like women, that's cool."

In his interview in the November issue of "Blender" magazine he said, "Get yourself a brand new shower curtain, throw it on the bed, squeeze some baby oil all over that joint, and do a little slip and slide. I have done that many times."
