Chris Rock and Seinfeld to team up for HBO series: http://tv.yahoo.com/news/eo/20050126/110678940000.html

Beyonce is planning a new release — her own fashion collection. The Destiny's Child singer has signed a licensing agreement with the Tarrant Apparel Group to produce a line of apparel for young women. She named the House of Dereon collection after her grandmother Agnes Dereon, who worked as a seamstress.

Controversial radio personality Wendy Williams just reported on her show that it is a rumor going around that Kelly Rowland of Destiny's Child has called off her engagement to Dallas Cowboy's Roy Williams. She said that when proposed to, Rowland initially said yes, however, now that she's had time to think about it, apparently she has changed her mind. She states that Rowland has been calling guest and notifying them by mail that the wedding has been called off. However, a representative for Rowland said that the rumors are false and that Rowland and Williams have only changed the date of the wedding not called the whole thing off. Who knows? :confused:

American Idol hopeful watches performance from jail
Last Update: 1/27/2005 2:00:16 PM

Watch this video
(MOBILE, Ala.) January 26 -- An American Idol hopeful, gaining notoriety, but not just for his shot at stardom. T-V viewers found Grand Bay's Leroy Wells on national T-V Tuesday night. However, on Wednesday, the would-be could be found in Mobile Metro Jail.
While millions of American Idol fans kept it locked into Leroy, Leroy was locked up behind bars for failing to appear in court.
The 22-year-old Grand Bay, Alabama native wowed fans with his rendition of "Got Your Money" by O-D-B. Even though he wasn't able to watch his performance from home, sheriff's deputies tell NBC 15 they did allow Leroy and other inmates to watch American Idol from jail.
Mobile Police spokesman Marcus Young says Leroy Wells was arrested earlier this month for reportedly shooting a hand gun into an occupied vehicle. Apparently they were arguing over how the cars were in the roadway at which time Mr. Wells allegedly shot the victim in his hip, Young says.
“Family members say because Leroy is a “pretty boy,� he gets picked on a lot, which explains why he may have been carrying a pistol to protect himself. His brother, Ryan Peyton tells NBC 15 News: "A lot of people picks on him and he's had that problem since he's been a kid. As he got older he just got tired of it and so he took measures into his own hands".
According to Mobile County Sheriff's department records, Wells has a prior criminal record including seven other arrests. The charges range from disorderly conduct and possession of marijuana, to carrying a pistol without a permit.

His brother says despite those incidents, Leroy is destined for stardom and would not go as far as shooting another human being. “I'm saying he didn't do it.Â_ It's all hear-say from what I know.â€?
Wednesday, Leroy’s family had trouble coming up with bond money, some $11,000, but later were ableÂ_to come up with the money.Â_Leroy wasÂ_released from custody early Wednesday evening.

MISS JONES SUSPENDED FROM
HOT 97: Action taken over tsunami
parody; Asian rapper Jin responds.

*New York DJ Miss Jones and
her morning show crew on New
York's Hot 97 were suspended
indefinitely Wednesday for airing
a tasteless song parody that made
fun of the tsunami victims and
referred to them in racist terms.
"What happened is morally
and socially indefensible," said
Rick Cummings, president of
Emmis Radio, in announcing
the disciplinary action. "All
involved, myself included, are
ashamed and deeply sorry. I know
the members of the morning team
are contrite. They know their
actions here are inexcusable."
The song, a parody of the
charity single "We Are the World,"
aired last Friday on the Emmis
station WQHT-FM, known locally
as Hot 97. Afterwards, the station
was bombarded with thousands of
angry phone calls demanding Miss
Jones (a.k.a. Tarsha Jones) be
fired.
The DJ offered an on-air
apology, and the station initially
announced that she and a half-dozen
other members of the morning team
would donate a week's salary to
tsunami relief. The station, in a
statement posted on its Web site,
said management later decided
"stronger action was necessary to
demonstrate the severity of the
situation."
As previously reported, the
song included references to
"screaming chinks" "drowning
Africans" and orphaned children
"sold into child slavery." The
chorus began, "So now you're
screwed, it's a tsunami, you'd
better run ... go find your mommy."
The indefinite suspension of
Jones, her sidekick Todd Lynn and
others was not enough for some
politicians. Others had called for
advertisers to boycott the station
and for Emmis to fire its staffers -
a move supported by City Councilman
John Liu, whose Queens district
includes a large Asian population.
"It's clearly not sufficient,"
Liu said. "Miss Jones and Todd Lynn
need to be terminated, taken off the
air permanently."
*Meanwhile, Chinese-American
rapper Jin, known best for his seven-
week undefeated run on "106 & Park's"
Freestyle Friday competition before
being retired to the "Hall of Fame,"
fired back at the Hot97 parody in a
new dis track. According to SOHH.com,
the song - set to Jay-Z's "Breathe
Easy" - contains lyrics aimed at Miss
Jones, calling her a "no-talent
wannabe shock jock." At the end of the
song, he tells Miss Info, who is part
Asian and the only member of the
morning crew to denounce the song, to
"keep your head up, Ma."
Jin also says in the song: "F***
the Tsunami song and whoever thought
of it. / Matter fact, f*** the engineer
that recorded it. / And the brains
behind the scenes, that applauded it/
Anything for ratings huh... the sh** is
corporate/ That little bullsh**
statement has got to be/ the world's
most half-assed apology/ Thousands are
still getting discovered each day/ how
dare you compare a life to a week's pay."
According to SOHH, Jin is calling
for folks to protest the Hot97 parody
by directing complaint letters to the
station's sponsors - including Reebok,
McDonalds and SprintPCS.

A Cosby "grandkid" passes
 

on the Cosby front, Everett Wilson, 17, who was little (i believe baby) Nelson Thibodeaux on The Cosby Show, died in a car crash on LI. check the link:

matpublish.bits.baseview.com/NR/index/286803491605323.php

very sad. his future looked bright. i feel bad for his family, in particular his twin brother:(

i'm on a roll today, but it's not the best of news:(
Bill Cosby, per Cynthia McFadden/ABC News, stated that there was a consensual relationship between he and the accuser. he did not molest her in anyway, ditto on drugging her.
hmmm...so Mr. Cosby is a dog, but not an attacker...okay. that i can see. as for the wife, Camille Cosby, i wonder what she's thinking? and this all comes out on their forty-first anniversary:(:rolleyes:
Happy Anniversary, indeed:mad:

Re: A Cosby "grandkid" passes
 

HOW VERY SAD!!!! :( He also used to be "Nelson" on Even Stevens. :(

ETA: Wendi, the article you linked did not work for me but I found another one.

http://www.newsday.com/news/health/n...alth-headlines

OmiGod!!!
 

I cannot believe Bill Cosby, this is the second time he has gotten caught cheating (well that we know about). Remember when that girl took him to court saying that he was her father and he admitted having relations with her mom but that he was not the father? TV's perfect dad is nothing but a dirty dog!!!:mad:

I am so disappointed in him....:(

Excerpt from his book:


From the prologue of "O":

Here I was, alone in a hotel room high over downtown Philadelphia with the show three hours away, and I'm waiting for the phone to ring. I had one phone in my hand and one in my pocket. I found myself just staring at the phone in my hand, like I was trying to will it to ring. Suddenly both lines rang at once. I flipped open a phone in each hand. My manager, Chris Stokes, was on one line. The limo driver was on the other. Neither call was what I was looking for. The driver said he was ready to run me over to the arena, and Chris and Taz were ready to meet me there. I couldn't wait any longer, so I grabbed my gear and split.

As I watched the dreary scenery zip past, I started to wonder how things could have got so screwed up so fast. Just a few weeks ago my group, B2K, was on top of the world — and the best part was that the four of us were tight. They were my brothers, and I knew they had my back just like I had theirs.

So why am I sitting by myself in a limo, on the way to a sold-out arena in Philadelphia, wondering if my best friends, Raz-B, Lil' Fizz and J-Boog, will show up for the concert? I don't know what they're planning to do, 'cuz except for one brief conference call a few days back, we aren't talking to each other — my boys and I are communicating mostly by managers and magazine articles — when just a few weeks ago we were shooting hoops and playing Xbox.

That's what the phone call was all about. Will my boys be there to perform with me or not?

Our tour was winding up when sh-- started to go down. Stories were flying that we hated each other — I even heard one rumor that Raz-B, Lil' Fizz and J-Boog had told their manager they didn't want to fly on the same plane as me.

In the middle of all of this madness we still had two live shows left on the tour schedule — Philadelphia and New York, two of our biggest fan bases. Now it was time to put all of that stuff aside. We had said that B2K was going to do these shows, simple as that. Of course, things were so crazy that the other guys had lawyers telling them not to show up, but I couldn't get with that. No matter what the beefs were, I felt it was our duty to deliver.

I'd talked to them about it a few days before the scheduled Philly show. As we'd talked over the static of a four-way conference call, I had felt how torn they'd been. When I'd hung up the phone with them, I'd felt good. They weren't going to leave me hanging, they'd show up for Philly.

Don't misunderstand, I've got confidence in my singing and my ability to give it up for an audience. But this new development, the possible solo thing, had come up all of a sudden, and to be honest, it was kind of scary and intimidating. But I had committed to go on with the show with or without the other guys, and I was locked in. As the limo sped closer to the arena, I tried to prepare myself mentally, running through the new dance moves and coming up with ways to keep the show as on point as it would be with all four of us. It all came down to one question: If I had to, could I deliver what the fans were expecting?

As we pulled into the back, I checked out the building from the outside. Going in this time was different — the last time we were four going in. This time it was only one person entering, and all of a sudden this building was looking real huge — like a fortress.

Now it was less than two hours before showtime. As I was going about prepping for the show, I saw constant reminders of who was not there. The main dressing room area was laid out for four people, but I was the only one there. I stowed my gear and went out into the arena for a mic check. Four cordless mics were set up onstage, and I checked all four just to make sure. Behind me there were two dancers — Sam and Dave — rehearsing. These guys had been brought in to back me up if it came to me going on alone. They had good moves, but some immediate adjustments had to be made on my part if we were going to perform together that night. I'm used to glancing to my left or my right and seeing Raz or Fizz or Boog working it beside me. We were so tight I always felt that I could sense what was happening on the stage at every moment during our show. This new setup was going to be kind of strange. Sam and Dave could back me up with the choreography, but the singing was going to be all me.

I moved out into the empty arena. I took a seat halfway back and checked out the surroundings. This was something that me and the guys did before most shows. It was part of our ritual. It was like we were sizing up the battlefield where B2K was set to take on the world. Now, sitting out there alone in the arena, I felt isolated. It was starting to feel like Omarion against the entire universe.

My mind went back to the last show we did together. Even though things had gotten a little tense between us by that time, we'd tossed all that aside because we were going on in five. Before hitting the stage, we'd done the thing we did before each show. The prayers and the hugs had felt different. More solemn, almost. Maybe we'd all felt the same thing that night; whatever it had been, everybody had been serious, and we'd given a killer show.

Now I'm sitting about 20 rows back from the stage, checking everything out. In an hour this place was going to fill up. As I sat and thought about what I was going to do, my cell rang. Damn, waiting on this call was getting to be a bad joke. I flipped open the phone and listened to a solid minute of loud static. I could hear what sounded like a voice, trying to communicate with me, but it was too broken up. I'll never know who made that call, but some part of me hoped it was one of the guys, calling to explain things or just to talk. Something about that failed call helped my mind to focus. I had work to do. I got up out of the seat and headed toward the back.

The crew for the night's opening act, ATL, had arrived and was hanging out backstage. I worked out a few last-minute moves with Sam and Dave and then went into the dressing room. I sat alone in the room and tried to concentrate. Behind me I could feel ATL's bass line vibrating through the walls. As I closed my eyes, I had a brief daydream, one where the guys show up, charge in and make the last-minute save. Just like the cavalry. I imagined them running into the arena just as I'm about to take the stage. We grab hands, say our prayer, and then the lights come up on us. The crowd goes wild. I knew it was a fantasy, but I wanted to believe in it. A knock on the door. My managers, Chris and Taz, came in, and the fantasy ended. I opened my eyes and looked in the mirror. I was dressed in my Lakers jersey, and I looked good. The three other jerseys, one each for Raz-B, Lil' Fizz and J-Boog, were still hanging at the back of the room.

Taz stuck her head in and flashed five fingers — five minutes to showtime. This was it, no turning back, no more wishing. I finally took the phone out of my hand and tossed it into my bag. I left the dressing room. Outside, the dancers were heading toward the stage; one of them gave me a thumbs-up. I nodded, but I've got to tell you, I still wasn't feeling it. I started moving toward the stage. As I got closer I could hear the chant building — "B2K! B2K! B2K!" It felt like I was marching up to a firing squad, and there was nothing sweet about it. But this wasn't a firing squad. They were fans; they knew me, and they knew what they wanted from me. It was my job now to deliver.

Finally I was backstage. The stage was dark, and I could feel the audience's energy building. I closed my eyes and tried to take myself into the zone. The lights flashed up, and just before I ran on I took one last look behind me. I knew my three bandmates wouldn't be there, but I looked anyhow. I took a deep breath and hit the stage. Reality hit me hard. The guys were gone, and they weren't coming back.

Why would somebody in their early 20s, if that, want to do an autobiography?:confused: Ah, well, I guess that teenage boppers need to read.

Yep. TonyB may have to buy it for the BabyB's. LOL!

I teared up reading that very stirring segment of his memoir. I felt his pain. I could feel just how alone he was.:( :( :( :( I am going to go out and buy this book and his CD and You Got Served. God bless Omarion.

What does BGA know about brestasiz?
 

From the New York Post's Page Six:


January 28, 2005 -- STAR Jones wants a boob job.
> The demanding diva announced yesterday on live TV that she's willing to undergo elective surgery to have her breasts enlarged because her new husband, Al Reynolds, "cares about boobs." :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
> She wants, "a little lift, they're saggy," Jones told viewers on yesterday's edition of "The View."
> Jones' latest eye-popping comments came during a rowdy coffee-klatch chat between herself Meredith Viera, Joy Behar, Elizabeth Hasselbeck and Barbara Walters.

Re: What does BGA know about brestasiz?
 

Ok, her comments were so misquoted.

Re: Re: What does BGA know about brestasiz?
 

Even if they were, it's still prime clowning material with BGA.:p

Re: Re: Re: What does BGA know about brestasiz?
 

So true. LOL! I had to smirk when she said http://home.t-online.de/home/steffen...r/BigGayAl.jpg was into boobs.

They were discussing breast size (prompted by a comment made by Nicole Ritchie about the merits of small breasts). She did mention that she was interested in getting a breast lift. However, her initial point was if she got an enlargement or reduction, she would run it by the hubby.

See ya tomorrow Soror!

Re: Tina and Beyonce'
 

LMAO!!!Tina looks like she is saying "WHAT WHAT??"

I'm pulling for you, Michael!!!
 

Re: Tina and Beyonce'
 

I'd be mad if MommyMunch rolled up dressed like Tina. Especially without makeup. :(

Re: Re: Tina and Beyonce'
 

The bigger deal is why is Bey dressed so warmly and not Tina??? :confused:

^^
That, plus the fact that Tina is showing off the "mutton dressed as lamb" concept to the extreme. IMO, women in their 50s don't need to be dressing in things that their 20something daughters would rock.

Re: Re: Re: Tina and Beyonce'
 

I was wondering the same thing when I looked at the pic this morning.

Re: Re: Re: Tina and Beyonce'
 

Mama Knowles got that FIYUH! :o :D :p

I've tried to not say anything but. . .
 

Tina's face looks ashy and possessed.

That's that Creole coming out! :p

Plus, I am sick and tired of Beyonce and the cowboy boot thing. I know she from Texas and all but dang!

Bill Cosby fesses up! A couple of weeks ago a Canadian woman filed
charges against Bill Cosby. She claimed she went to his home and he
fondled her. In a sworn statement to police Cosby denied her charges,
but he did admit they had sexual contact. AAAUUGGHHH!!!! NO, BILL, NO!
Why are you cheating on Camille again? When I first heard about the
woman's charges I said no way. This can't be true. She must be looking
for money. Now Cosby has admitted to an affair with this woman. The
story sounded weird from the start, but a lot of people including
myself gave him the benefit of the doubt. Sources say the woman was
always asking him for tickets to shows for her and her family. A few
years ago Cosby made headlines when he was being extorted for money
from a woman who was claiming she was his daughter. It was later
revealed that Cosby had an affair with the girl's mother. What's going
on with the cheating? Why are you cheating on your wife again? How is
she taking this? Cosby's credibility is shot. Over the past year he
has been talking about the breakdown of the black family and how
people had to do their part. Why would he risk his reputation?


Rapper Snoop Dogg is the latest celebrity involved in a sex scandal. A
makeup artist is claiming that she was drugged and raped by the rapper
two years ago. Snoop is facing a civil lawsuit. She also claims one of
his associates beat her. She says she was the makeup artist assigned
to Snoop when he appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel Show in 2003. She claims
the assault happened after she drank some spiked champagne. So why did
this woman wait two years. Whatever happened to going to the
authorities after the alleged crime? She was trying to negotiate a
settlement. Spokespeople for Snoop say the charges are not true.


The Michael Jackson child molestation trial is underway. The trial is
expected to last five months. Will Michael be found guilty of sexually
molesting a 13 year old cancer patient? Michael's parents are worried
sick. Katherine is having trouble sleeping and she has a bad heart.
The Jackson family is under a lot stress right now. Michael's brother
Marlon is getting ready to release a book about life in the Jackson
family. Marlon's book is expected to blow the lid off of the Jackson
family secrets. In the book called Surviving the Storm Marlon talks
about how the brothers were cheated out of their money by their
father. He says Michael and Janet support the entire family. Will this
book hurt Michael during his trial? Only time will tell.


The Anthony's will be performing at the Grammy's. The Grammy's take

LL Cool J has been named the new spokesperson for Caress body wash and

commercials?


Bernie…the "flirt?" Bernie Mac is reportedly quite the flirt on the
set of the Bernie Mac Show and a lot of people are hoping that he
doesn't cross the line and face a lawsuit. Bernie loves the ladies.
Friends say he is just very charming. He is also very married with an
adult daughter.

How far would you go to please your husband or mate? Al Reynolds wants

Oprah Winfrey says she is going to retire in 2011. This is the third
