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)
