1. Nikki25, I wasn't aware that BRN sampled MJJ's "You Rock My World." The only similarity I can hear is that both songs were produced by Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins. A lot of the songs he produced sound similar.

2. Monica will always be a better looking and better sounding singer than Brandy, so that's just something she'll have to get used to.

3. Wanya Morris is definitely pre-Kobe! He started to date BRN right after she turned 18, b/c her mother told him, "If you step to my daughter before she turns 18, Boyz II Men will be a trio." BRN was only Kobe's prom date.

4. prospectiverushee, Wanya and Brandy's break-up was really bad and it basically had to do with Ms. Thing's mother always interfering with the relationship. I'm sure you guys know Mrs. Sonya Norwood had to keep her only daughter under lock and key, since her son was beginning to get out of control.

5. AKA2D '91, Wanya is not, and I repeat, IS NOT tutti fruitti. He has two daughters named Benee and Anya with some chick named "Toy." I remember when BIIM made "Evolution," he gave a shout-out to his daughter Benee and in Vibe magazine, he also mentioned another daughter named Anya.

6. Professor, personally, I think Brandy should show Emeril Lagasse what a real catfish looks like; her w/o make-up!!!

7. ClassyLady, Ma$e's new name, as given to him by Wendy Williams on 107.5 WBLS here in NYC, is Doctor Pastor Mason Betha (he likes it), since he received an honorary doctorate from a theological school (don't know which one)

8. Sugar_N_Spice, Brandy can and never will be like Aaliyah. Aaliyah exuded an air of confidence and maturity that Brandy can never come close to. And Aaliyah looks soooo much better that Madam Catfish!

9. Tigress30, Ray J will NEVER stop riding his big sis's coattails, since I think that's the only way his records will ever get sold. I don't think the Neptunes will be able to save him from his mediocre sales either. Poor boo boos.

Those are my rays of sunshine for now. Until next time, people!!!
