Thomas married in NO (People.com)
Save the Last Dance actor Sean Patrick Thomas married actress Aonika Laurent in New Orleans on Saturday, PEOPLE has learned.
The couple, who are both 35, had originally planned their nuptials for the fall of 2005 in the Big Easy – Laurent's hometown – but postponed the wedding due to Hurricane Katrina. Thomas, who has starred in Barbershop and on CBS's The District, and Laurent (Fantastic Four) decided to wait to get married until they could have their dream wedding in their favorite city. The couple originally met at a party thrown by Barbershop director Tim Story. This is the first marriage for both. |

They said she's an actress too...has she done anything big? |
I remember a wedding planner at a BNOBack meeting mentioned there was a "big" wedding to take place in the city, but was postponed b/c of the storm. I wonder if this was the wedding she was referring to. :confused:

Bow Wow Responds To Lil' Romeo And Master P.
Another story about Bow-Wack
Story The feud between Bow Wow and Lil' Romeo has intensified, as Bow Wow has responded to comments Master P made surrounding the two rappers' growing beef. Lil' Romeo's father, Master P, confirmed that the two rappers had crossed paths backstage at Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Award show, on April 1st. According to Master P, Bow Wow ran in his trailer and refused to talk about tensions with Lil' Romeo Now, Bow Wow has come forward to address Master P and Lil' Romeo. "I can't understand all this, but I guess that's how it is when you ain't getting no attention," Bow Wow told AllHipHop.com. "You can hear me on the radio all day, every day. You [Lil' Romeo] can't sell no records, and your daddy is on Dancing With the Stars." Lil' Romeo was apparently offended at the line on the song "Fresh Azimiz," where Bow Wow claimed to be making more money than an unspecified person's father. Romeo released a diss to Bow Wow titled, "Hood Stars." Master P also accused Bow Wow's success of going to the rapper's head. "I just think Bow Wow done sold a couple records and got real cocky, and forgot where he came from," Master P said in a previous interview. Bow Wow dismissed Master P's allegations. "The crazy part is the line that got them all bent outta shape was an old LL line ("The Do Wop from LL Cool J's 1987 album Bigger and Deffer). That shows how much they know about Hip-Hop." Bow Wow also countered Master P's challenge to a Pay-Per-View boxing match between Romeo and Bow Wow. "If Romeo wanna make some real money, come sign with me," Bow Wow said. "Then, he wouldn't have to pull these stunts 'cause there ain't No Limit over here." |
Bow Whack...
If you check crunktastical.blogspot.com or Concreteloop.com, you will see Shad Gregory Moss rocking a rhinestone-encrusted paw print T-shirt. Sorry, Bow, rocking rhinestones doesn't make you hard. Neither does having King Cockroach, oka the Carolina River Cricket man, writing your lyrics. :rolleyes:
On the other hand, "bidnessman" Percy Miller needs to go somewhere. |
ST, it's only Monday. Those were it's Friday afternoon and my boss can KMA words. I saw Rome on 106 and Park recently and I didn't know that there was some sort of beef. They both need to sit down somewhere. Bow Wow, your momma gonna spend all your money and No Limit has been looking more like The Limited ever since Cash Money came on the scene. Two little boys trying to be men.

Beef at backstage at Nickelodeon? :rolleyes: They can't be serious. This needs to stop. This could possibly end up in violence...you know like a cafeteria food fight or something. :rolleyes:

College president's gains overshadowed by scandal
Monday, April 24, 2006; Posted: 10:21 a.m. EDT (14:21 GMT)
HOUSTON (AP) -- As president of Texas Southern University, Dr. Priscilla Slade was building a legacy -- nearly doubling enrollment, constructing new academic buildings and overhauling the financial aid system. Slade became a popular and high-profile president during more than six years at the helm of the historically black university, the alma mater of the late U.S. Rep. Barbara Jordan and other notables. But her accomplishments have taken a back seat to scandal. Slade was fired last week and faces a criminal investigation into her use of state money. She's accused of improperly spending $87,000 to furnish her home, $138,000 on landscaping and exterior improvements, and $56,000 on security related equipment and labor. Read The Rest Here ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This sounds like there is more going on here. At my alma mater, the president's house WAS owned (and an extention) of the univeristy, which would have included landscaping (the same guys that did our campus, did her home), home decor, and any improvements/renovations. Is this not the case for other HBCUs? |

I heard from a FAMU alumnus that the money to build that house came from a gift that Oprah gave to the University. Anyway, once she learned of what they did with the money she was furious and refuses to give to the University anymore.

ETA: One sweet day N4L will have one nice thing to say about my beloved FAMU. GOSH! (in my Napoleon Dynamite voice) :p |

^^^^^
I guess no paternity tests will be involved!:p On the Bow Wow/Romeo thing--I always believed that Romeo was pushed by P to do albums to compete with Bow Wow. Romeo's mad now because he can't keep No Limit afloat anymore. And Bow does have a point...his songs ARE being played on the radio!:) |

Not a good look (literally)...

As far as Bow Wow and Romeo I'm not a fan of either and don't keep up with their music but I do agree that Bow Wow has gotten quite big headed. I don't remember which magazine I was reading but he made some very disrespectful comments about Will Smith not being a real actor nor a real MC! I don't know about everyone else but whether you like Will or not you can't deny his success nor his legacy- he is a legend in his own right. For Bow Wow to even fix his lips to say anything remotely disrespectful about any of his elders in the rap game is, in my opinion, proving that he is totally outta pocket! |
Are Lil Bow Wow and Romeo still the same height?

BV Buzz 4/24--News on Omarosa
Can someone please tell me when her 15 minutes of fame are up?
The ubiquitous Omarosa Manigault Stallworth told BV Buzz that while she’s not ready to tender her crown as the Queen of Reality Television, there is one title she just conceded. “I have officially relinquished my title as the president of the Itty Bitty Titty Committee,” she boasted over dinner at Clyde's of Gallery Place in Washington, D.C. Wearing a low-cut red and yellow gown by NuMe designer Victoria Shaffer, Omarosa proudly showed off her new bodacious bosom. “For the first time in my life, I have cleavage,” she said smiling, before admonishing: “Stop looking at my cleavage!” After my apology, she added that this was the first time she had cleavage that she didn’t have to manipulate herself before leaving the house. “Cleavage that is not constructed by a Victoria’s Secret pushup bra, silicone cutlet inserts or taping my boobs together. I’m so happy to have natural cleavage,” she said. Her transformation from “a negative A-cup” to a “full voluptuous C-cup” was documented for television and will appear on a forthcoming episode of the Discovery Health series ‘Plastic Surgery: Before & After.’ Omarosa’s mother, Theresa Manigault, is also featured on the series. “I treated my mother to a total makeover. The makeover of her dreams,” Omarosa added. Omarosa kept me abreast—pun intended—of her other recent endeavors. She’s currently starring in a film short directed by Andrew Coppa called ‘Soul Sistahs,’ which is being showcased online now at www.soulsistahs. com. “It was a phenomenal process, very difficult, and all shot on blue and green screen. It was a very intricate process, and we’ve gotten interest in making it into a full-length film,” she said. Omarosa plays a superhero-turned-villain sent to cut Donald Trump’s hair in the semi-animated movie. In addition to the chest chat and career talk, I asked the always opinionated Omarosa to chime in on some current hot topics. On Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney’s run-in with Capitol Hill security: “I worked on the Hill for many years. You know who the congressmen and congresswomen are. I think it is extremely disrespectful of the Capitol Hill Police to not acknowledge her as a congresswoman, moreover a senior congresswoman. Secondly, I know how many congressmen and women walk through there without flashing a pen, a badge or anything. It’s about respect or in this case, a lack of respect.” On Whitney Houston’s reported drug problems: “You know I just wish people would just back up off the whole Whitney piece. I understand it’s of great interest, but in order for a person to have the freedom to be who they are and to experience what they’ve got to experience, you’ve got to give them space. Right now, the scrutiny is ridiculous and unnecessary. For people who are fans of Whitney for all of those years, they need to continue to support her now and not try to tear her down.” On TomKat (Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes) finally having their daughter Suri: “I’m so damn glad they done had that baby! I am so sick and tired of seeing Tom and Katie walking around pretending to be a normal, functional family. I’m just so glad they had that baby. Whew!” Star Athlete If ‘Desperate Housewives’ star Mehcad Brooks decides to give up his day job, he could always become a professional athlete. The Texas-bred Hollywood hunk said his parents kept him and his brother active in athletics from an early age. “We both came up playing everything, and we got to make choices later on. My parents started us off in everything: soccer, football, basketball, baseball, track and swimming,” he said. While the 6' 3" former model doesn’t have any plans of telling Tinseltown to take a hike, he does have one sport he’d like to perfect. “I love golf. It’s very relaxing,” he added, before confessing, “but I’m not good at it!” Talk Soup It was the almighty television that taught actor Djimon Hounsou how to speak English. The Oscar nominated star of ‘In America,’ who hails from Cotonou, Benin, West Africa, told BV Buzz that it was documentaries on the History Channel and the Learning Channel that taught him the English language. Though he picked up the King’s English easily, Hounsou still worries about his English when working on projects. “The most difficult is working because I can sit here and converse with you, but when it comes to work I'm always worried about not being heard clearly,” he said. Hounsou isn’t trying to lose his accent—“Never any need to fit in, meaning to sound like everybody else”—but making sure filmgoers and television watchers completely understand him is a concern. “That's certainly unnerving for the most part.” Buzzworthy Ebony magazine will honor some stupendous ladies at its Outstanding Women in Marketing & Communications Awards Dinner at the Hilton New York & Towers in New York City on May 4. Among this year’s honorees are Deborah Roberts (correspondent, ABC News), Sheila Eldridge (President, Miles Ahead Entertainment), Suzanne Malveaux (CNN White House correspondent), Helen Shelton (Executive Vice President, Ruder Finn Arts & Communications Counselors), Fredia Roberson (Senior Vice President, Campbell-Ewald Advertising) and Xernona Clayton (President & CEO, Trumpet Awards Foundation, Inc.). Jazsmin Lewis (‘Barbershop 2’), Victor Williams (‘The King of Queens’), Mari Morrow (‘How To Be A Player’), Richard T. Jones (‘The Wood’) and newcomer Aaron D. Spears star in the film ‘Traci Townsend.’ The story centers around a journalist (Lewis) who decides to shoot a documentary on relationships after none of her male suitors ever propose. Word has is that Slim of the R&B quartet 112 (aka Marvin E. Scandrick) has signed a solo deal to record for Nick Cannon’s Can I Ball Records. Cannon’s sophomore rap CD ‘Stages’ is being released on Motown Records. No word on whether Slim’s solo debut will bow on Motown as well. Diana Ross’s son Evan Ross (‘ATL’) and Alphonso McAuley (‘Fat Albert,’ ‘Glory Road’) will star alongside Terrence Howard, Kimberly Elise and Bernie Mac in the Lions Gate movie ‘PDR.’ The film is about Jim Ellis who in the 1970s transformed a group of troubled North Philadelphia kids into a top swim team. Most of the film will be shot in Shreveport, La., with exteriors in Philadelphia. Can’t Say Names… Sources say a certain R&B boy band is near destitute and has been using ‘Six Degrees of Separation’-like means to survive. Word has it that the group, who has racked up several hit records and earned a few plaques for platinum and gold-selling albums, are now struggling to make ends meet. Maybe the group should be the new spokesmodels for the Boost Mobile phone company, since at least two of them can only afford a prepaid cell phone service. Next, Silk, Koffee Brown, Profyle, Ideal BV Scene ‘King of Comedy’ Cedric The Entertainer taking in a performance by Las Vegas staple Clint Holmes at Harrah’s Casino in Las Vegas... Those boisterous twins from ‘American Idol,’ Derrell and Terrell Brittenum, spotted leaving the BET Interactive building on 7th Avenue in Manhattan… Eddie Murphy's ex-wife, Nicole Murphy, apparently wants the world to know she’s a free woman. Days after her divorce was final, the former Mrs. Murphy got onstage at the Cirque du Soleil show ‘Zumanity’ at Las Vegas’ New York-New York Hotel & Casino for a simulated orgy scene… Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, Rosie Perez, rocker Dave Matthews, Diane Sawyer, Mario Cantone, Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins at opening night on Broadway in ‘Three Days of Rain’ starring Julia Roberts at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre… Star Jones, supermodel Iman, and Harry Belafonte in attendance for veteran actress Diahann Carroll's opening night of ‘The Life and Times of Diahann Carroll,’ at Feinstein's at the Regency in New York City. |

THEN, it was reported yesterday that Heather and Denise (friends) were together NYE when Heather was with her sugarbaby, when she was not with her hubby...Richie! :o
DRAMA on the other side of the tracks! :o :D |

:p |
I saw an interview with either Tyra or Tyler (may have been Tyler on the Tyra show, can't recall) and they were saying that there was a rumor that they were dating, but that they are really just good friends. And that, people see celebs out with their friends and just assume that they are dating. But that was months ago, they may actually be dating now.

That man definately has some sugar in his tank. |
CT4 and Skee, I would have thought Jodeci too but they were not an option. I'm going with Silk. It maybe Next, because they are the only two groups that are on this list that are not one hit wonders.
John Singleton, Seal, Chris Webber, Tyler Perry...*singing* One of these things are not like the other, one of these things doesn't belong...:o I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks Tyler's gay. On Charlie Sheen: I think Denise is using the allegations and his past (drugs and hookers) to cover herself up. I was also thinking today that Charlie may need to check the paternity of his youngest daughter. She filed for divorce while she was pregnant.:o I think she's going to come out as being the bad guy on this one. |
Quote:
I saw a DVD of Angie Stone and A. Hamilton's tour from '05. Tyler was in the audience. A guy was next to him. The guy's face was blurred. I thought that was odd. :o |
Quote:
"I spoke to a well-connected source in Tinseltown, whose ear is ever close to the ground, calibrating every celeb tremor. This person said, 'The feeling here right now is that Denise has overreached by going public with this stuff. Nobody thinks Charlie is a choirboy, but it takes two to make a marriage and two to break a marriage. He's been a gentleman so far. And by the way, he didn't exactly snatch her from a nunnery.'" WHOA! |
^^^^
Thanks! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that!:) I think Charlie and Nick Lashay(sp) need to start a support group for celebrity husbands who suddenly got kicked to the curb.:o :( |
Patty's 411
Patty Jackson's 411 for the week of April 24th, 2006
Whitney Houston is back in rehab. The troubled singer has been making headlines due to her addiction. Over the past few weeks, we have seen the pictures and heard the stories about her drug addiction, and how it was destroying her life. Whitney has checked into a facility in Arizona. Her family convinced her to go. Maybe this time, Whitney will get the help she needs. Now that Whitney is getting help, what is going to happen to her husband Bobby Brown? He needs money. He and Whitney are having major problems. They were separated at the time she entered rehab. Bobby left Whitney a few weeks ago. He was tired of fighting with her, and he felt she had disrespected his mother. Some people are speculating that Bobby convinced his sister, Tina, to dish the dirt on Whitney so they could get some money. The Houston family is furious at Bobby and his family, and they want them to stay away. Bobby needs money, and he may have to go on tour. His unpredictable behavior has already caused problems with a possible New Edition reunion. The guys are doing the majority of their summer tour without him. Now that she’s no longer Mrs. Eddie Murphy, Nicole Murphy can be as wild as she wants to be. To celebrate her recent divorce, Nicole jumped on stage at an LA Club and started to act like a woman out of control. She was dancing, gyrating to the music and getting her freak on. Will the real Hoopz stand up! Hoopz, a.k.a. Nikki Alexander, was the winner of the VH1 reality show Flavor of Love. Flavor Flav picked Hoopz over the wild contestant New York. The season finale was the highest rated show in the channel’s history. How could Flav pick Hoopz over New York? Hoopz didn’t love Flav. Well, Flav and Hoopz are over. He is currently looking for a new love, and a new season of Flavor of Love kicks off in August. Was Hoopz in it for the fame and fortune? Yes! Hoopz wants to be a movie star. She is currently dating Rapper T.I. He is the hottest rapper out, and he is starring in the movie ATL. T.I left his baby momma, Singer Tiny from Xscape, to be with Hoopz. Over the past week, Hoopz’s past has been catching up with her. Is she married? Is she bi-sexual? She has denied reports that she is married to a basketball player who plays overseas, and she is also downplaying reports that she has a female lover. The female lover claims she and Hoopz love to participate in Ménage a Trios, and that Hoopz isn’t really interested in the guys they bring in, just her. Hmmmmmmm! Will the real Hoopz please stand up? K-Ci Hailey of Jodeci has a few choice words for ex-love Mary J. Blige. Shut up already!…..It’s over!….Stop reliving the past!……Stop talking about us! Mary J. Blige and K-Ci used to date each other. The relationship was terrible, and he broke Mary’s heart. Mary has just filmed a video based on her relationship with K-Ci called Enough Crying with Rapper 50 Cent. K-Ci wants to know why Mary keeps talking about him and their past relationship. He says he never promised to marry her. He says she had low self esteem. She was just an average woman who liked to act crazy. Mary J. Blige is now happily married to Producer Kendu Isaacs. She has had no comment on K-Ci’s statement. Halle Berry is set for another hot sex scene in her new movie Perfect Stranger with Bruce Willis. Halle had everybody talking after her Oscar-winning role in Monster’s Ball.

Beyonce has been nominated for sexiest performance for her role in The Pink Panther, and Tyler Perry has been nominated for comedic performance for his work in Madea’s Family Reunion.

The divorce isn’t final, but Hip Hop Mogul Russell Simmons is enjoying the single life. He has been spotted with another model, America’s Next Top Model Winner Naima Mora. Simmons was dating Model Denise Vasi, but her family didn’t approve. They felt Russell was too old for their daughter. Russell’s wife Kimora Lee Simmons has been very quiet since the news of their separation. It makes you wonder. How does she feel about his dating? The London Paparazzi got to feel the wrath of Danny Glover. The actor was in London, and he was spotted coming out of a restaurant with a female companion. Glover didn’t want his picture taken, but the photographers wouldn’t listen, and he let them have it. He swung at them and started cursing. I’m sure if he is still married, he wouldn’t want his picture taken with another woman. There’s a new American Idol controversy. The feud is on between Host Ryan Seacrest and Judge Paula Abdul. The two don’t get along and the claws are out. Ryan has questioned what’s in Paula’s drinking cup, and she has questioned how desperate he is to prove himself as a ladies man. Singer Musiq Soulchild suffered a major career blow last weekend. He was on hand to sing the National Anthem at the Michael Jordan All American Classic when he forgot the words.
