PEOPLE Tribute to Destiny's Child
 

I will with BV Buzz 9/6...
 

Sources say that the original En Vogue -- Cindy Herron, Maxine Jones, Terry Ellis and yes, even Dawn Robinson -- will perform alongside Salt-n-Pepa in a tribute to the veteran rap trio on 'VH1's Hip-Hop Honors.' The R&B quartet first reunited for the single 'What the Fuss' from the forthcoming Stevie Wonder album. There are also rumblings that En Vogue will next head into the studio later this year to finally record a reunion record ...

Mary Mary, J. Moss and Tyrone Tribbet & Greater Anointing are gearing up for the 'Power & Praise Tour,' slated to hit the road later this year. The contemporary gospel acts will be joined in select cities by Israel & New Breed, already on the bill for Yolanda Adams' Yolanda Today tour...

Sources say that Kierra "KiKi" Sheard was among the singers being considered for the role of Effie in the upcoming 'Dreamgirls' movie. Sheard, along with Brownstone singer Nicci Gilbert, was among the five women called back for an audition during the Detroit casting call ...

Speaking of Gilbert, could a Brownstone reunion be in the works? There's word the ladies are contemplating a comeback as well. Jodeci, SWV, Guy and Xscape have all already announced reunions. Looks like another group could be added to the equation. Stay tuned!

Girl Crush

Comedienne Sheryl Underwood says she found her "soul mates" at Los Angeles radio station 100.3 The Beat's Hummer Summer Jam.

"I've got a crush on David Banner and T.I., and I want the world to know it," exclaimed Underwood, who hosts the upcoming season of BET's 'Comic View.'

The comedienne, who appeared in Queen Latifah's 'Beauty Shop,' said she'll keep her hands off of T.I. since she heard he was married to Xscape's Tameka "Tiny" Cottle, but Banner is fair game. "Somebody tell him I want him," she continued.

She's an equal opportunity groupie too, not just lusting for rappers, but R&B singers as well. "I want that Trey Songz too! He's fine as hell, and his ass can sing," she added.


Higher Love

R&B crooner Kem told BV Buzz that his music is love songs to God, birthed during a time when he was homeless and battling several addictions. It was a lifestyle that had him barred from his mother's home. The Nashville, Tenn.-born, Detroit-raised singer believes it was those low points in his life that have made him the man he is today.

"Take adversity as a blessing," he affirmed. "Anybody out there that's dealing with anything, we all have adversities that we face in our lives, but it's what you do with that adversity that will eventually tell the story of whether you succeed or fail in life."

Kem's newest release 'Album II' is in stores and has already been certified gold.


Rush Delivery

'Less Than Perfect' star Sherri Shepherd and her husband Jeffrey Tarpley are the proud parents of a baby boy. Their son Jeffrey Charles was a preemie, weighing only one pound, 10 ounces at birth.

"I think I did too much running around when I was pregnant because Jeffrey made his appearance very early," laughed Shepherd. Jeffrey Charles spent 90 days in the neonatal intensive care unit at the hospital before being released two weeks ago.

Shepherd, who's on a hot streak following her roles in 'Beauty Shop' and 'Guess Who,' is wasting no time getting back to work. She'll host 'Celebrity A-List Bloopers' with Dick Clark on Sept. 15. She will also be on hand at the BET Comedy Awards in late September, where she's nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role on 'Less Than Perfect.'

Can't Say Names
Sources say the mother of a platinum-selling-singer/actor is angry because her son won't pay the mortgage and utility bills at the family residence anymore and has gone to the tabloids with fabricated stories about the entertainer. News of the family feud is slated to break in this week's National Enquirer, but word has it that the entertainer is not backing down. He's apparently retained several top Hollywood attorneys to handle the matter and has put the family residence up for sell.

(guesses are Tyrese, Usher, John Legend, Omarion and Tevin Campbell)

There was a story about the Fugees reuniting but I didn't put in becasue I posted it before.
;)

Ok I heard this morning that Christopher Williams is very much alive, and his family is very upset that this rumor was set in motion that he had died. Now they didn't confirm or deny if he really is sick or not, but that he is alive.

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: What in the world?

Yes, yesterday it was on message boards, on radio shows and gossip blogs that he had died, how does this stuff start.

I'm leaning towards Tyrese

I tried to told y'all. Last week it was Eric B of Eric B and Rakim who got shot up at a Tennessee barbershop. But he's alive too!!!

Ha Ha Ha..what is going on with all these false rumors of people no longer being amongst the living....here is something I found about yesterday hoax.....


CHRISTOPHER WILLIAMS IS NOT DEAD:
That e-mail you received yesterday was a hoax; Williams and his family
are upset.

*A fake e-mail, with the subject line "Christopher Williams:
1967-2005 RIP,"
ended up being forwarded, and forwarded, and forwarded around until the
EUR, Atlanta Journal & Constitution newspaper and othermedia outlets
started receiving calls to verify its accuracy.
It was all a hoax, according to
Cassandra Mills, who executive produced his 1989 album, "CW." Mills
tells EUR's Lee Bailey that she spoke to Christopher's wife by hone and
was told that the singer is fine, he's not sick, and the family is quite
upset over the whole thing.
The bogus e-mail said that Williams "died today in his Atlanta
home after a brief illness. The cause of death is not known."
It then gave a brief bio of his career before stating that he "remained
out of the public spotlight [of late] spending most of his time in and
around his Atlanta home," and that funeral arrangements "have not been
made public."
Lee Bailey also contacted Atlanta Journal & Constitution
entertainment writer Sonia Murray, who said that even the newspaper's
obituary dept.
was getting calls to verify the story.
On the other hand, based on this
ugly incident, if Williams thought his
fan base had dwindled over the years
since his heyday in the early 90s,
he is mistaken.

Always been curious about this
 

Steeltrap, maybe you can help me out with this one:

I'm a diehard Celebrity Fit Club watcher and on this season Jackee Harry was a participant. On one of the episodes they had her go out on a date. Now I assumed she was still married to that hair dude, but I guess they got a divorce. Am I the only one who thought that the dude was kinda gay. Can anyone find a pic of him. I guess they are still friends because I think he was on either the first or second episode for a brief minute.
