Whatever happened to the music group Color Me Badd? Back in the 90's, they topped the charts with I Wanna Sex You Up and I Adore Mi Amore. Singer Bryan Abrams from the group has seen better days. He owes over $16 thousand in child support to his two ex-wives. Abrams now works in a tire store in Oklahoma, and he doesn't have the money. One of his baby mommas is New York City News Anchor Shon Gables, who works for WCBS.

Here's another Color Me Bad update. Last week, I told you about Bryan Abrams. Now, this week, here's an update on Kevin Thornton from the group. He currently resides with his family in Dallas where he works at the local Home Depot. Kevin is also working on a gospel album. Special thanks to the local resident who sent me the update. In the 90's, Color Me Bad topped the charts with I Wanna Sex You Up and I Adore Mi Amore.

I had to actually go back and look at old pics of them, because all I remembered was three white guys and a black guy, lol.

ETA: Oh yeah, and the lead singer was a cutie.

American Idol season one finalist Tamyra Gray married Sam Watters, a songwriter and producer who was in the early '90s R&B group Color Me Badd, in Capri, Italy, on Saturday, PEOPLE has confirmed.

Gray, 27, and Watters, 36, wed before 45 guests on a cliff overlooking the ocean. After the ceremony, "They walked through the city and townspeople were opening their windows and cheering for them," Gray's manager, Lisa Braudé, tells PEOPLE.

The funny thing is that Tamyra doesn't look that cute in her own wedding picture either. Therefore, she and the artist formerly known as poodle hair have kids, they'll be beautiful heartbreakers.

And to reiterate, EWWW!!!

[Honeykiss1974]

What the....? Huh? Boy, I would have NEVER pegged them two as a couple.

Under the definition of narcisstic in the dictionary, there's a picture of Terrell Owens. He's mentally ill but he'll never get the help he needs, especially if he continues to produce as a #1 WR.

How will the Isley Brothers go on with Ron Isley in jail? This is the question everyone is asking. Isley was found guilty of five counts of federal income tax evasion and one count of willingly not filing a tax return. Ron Isley is 65-years old, and he has been sentenced to three years and one month in jail. He also has three of supervised release, and he has to pay back the IRS over $3 million. I know the sentence seems harsh, but he actually got off easy. He faced 26 years in prison. The judge labeled Isley a serial tax cheat for cheating the government out of their money for close to 20 years. Ron Isley’s health has not been good over the last couple of years. Two years ago, he suffered a stroke, and he is currently battling kidney cancer. Ron’s wife, 26-year old Kandi Johnson, is leaning on her family right now to help her out. She just had a baby earlier this year, and she is pregnant again, due in January. Will Ron’s celebrity friends come to his rescue? How will his wife survive with these young kids? Will R Kelly step in to help the family?

Will wedding bells be ringing soon for the King of Pop Michael Jackson? Michael’s nanny, Grace Rwarmba, is set to become wife number three for Michael. Earlier this year, it was revealed she was married. Now, we have news that her supposed husband has died, making her free to marry Michael. Grace Rwarmba is a Muslim who hails from Rwanda in Africa. She has been with Michael for years. She met Michael through his brother Jermaine, whom she used to date. Michael has put Grace in charge of his life and his children. Those children think Grace is their mother. When Michael gets in trouble he gets married, and he is facing a nasty custody battle with his ex-wife Debbie Rowe. Debbie wants her children, Prince and Paris, back and a judge is leaning towards giving her back her rights. Michael needs to prove he is raising his children in a stable family environment, and he plans to do this by marrying his nanny. Grace has wanted to be Michael’s wife for a long time. Despite the fact that the Jackson family does not like her and that she dated Jermaine, she knows she has Michael wrapped around her finger. She feels she’s the one to help get his career and life back together.

The countdown is on for Janet Jackson’s new LP, 20 Y.O. Check her out on the cover of the latest Ebony magazine. She will be on the cover of Rolling Stone later this month. Janet will also be on Oprah on the 26th. The folks at Virgin Records are going to have their work cut out for them working this project. Janet says is going on a world tour next year.

Video Vixen turned best selling Author Karrine Steffans says don’t blame her for the problems in the Bobby Brown-Whitney Houston marriage. Yes, she is currently seeing Bobby, but she states their marriage was already a wreck, and she is no homewrecker. Karrine admits it’s tricky with a wife and child involved, but she and Bobby are friends with benefits.

B-Day, the long awaited sophomore CD from Beyonce, is out. The CD features the hits Déjà Vu and Ring The Alarm. Beyonce has been taking a lot of heat from the haters, but this is her year and it’s going to be hard to stop her. In December, she stars in the long-awaited movie musical Dreamgirls with Jamie Foxx, Eddie Murphy and Jennifer Hudson.

Tyler Perry will be hosting the 2006 Black Movie Awards: A Celebration of Black Cinema. The show will air on October 18th on the TNT Network at 10pm. Some of the movies nominated include Akeelah and The Bee, ATL, Inside Man, Madea’s Family Reunion and Something New. The 70’s classic Lady Sings the Blues starring Diana Ross, Billy Dee Williams & Richard Pryor will be inducted into The Cinema Hall of Fame. Cicely Tyson and Laurence Fishburne are going to be honored with special awards.

Congrats to Tamyra Gray of American Idol Fame. She’s a new bride. Gray, 27, recently married Chris Waters, who used to sing in the group Color Me Badd. They had the 80’s hit I Wanna Sex You Up. Gray and Waters have been dating for the past two years.

The Tyra Banks talk show is gearing up for season two and you can expect some changes. Tyra may sound different. She has been working with a vocal coach. After a successful first season, Tyra will be sprucing things up with a new set, new lighting and a new couch. Tyra says she wants to connect because she’s a touchy feely person.

The Fox network has been receiving complaints from their Hispanic and Asian viewers of American Idol. They feel they are not represented on the show. Will this change in the future?

Mike Tyson is sick of his life. He feels it has been a waste. At one time, He was worth $300 million. Now, he has to resort to participating in a sideshow to make money. Yes! A sideshow called Tyson Training Camp. The display is on the Las Vegas Strip inside the Aladdin Hotel. Mike appears in a makeshift boxing ring where tourists come by to take pictures. Tyson says he has to do it to make money. The only thing he has is his BMW.

New York is back! Last year’s runner up on the VH1 Flavor of Love is back. She appeared last week as a helper to Flav. But, in the coming weeks, she is getting her clock back and she is going to compete. The producers of the show realized that this year’s contestants couldn’t hold a candle to New York. I was about to abandon the show after the one girl from this season pooped on the floor. I just felt like the show had gotten too weird with the internet porn stars. I felt New York should have won last season. She was over the top, but in a funny kind of way. She definitely held your attention. Over the past few months, she had lost over 20 pounds. She looks really skinny, but her mouth is still big. Smart move VH1, New York is the one to watch. Also in the coming weeks, two girls leave when Flav realizes they are fakes.

The plastic surgery work is paying off for Vivica A. Fox. I recently saw some pictures of Vivica in a two piece bikini. Girlfriend is working it out. She looks amazing. Vivica had her breast fixed after one of her implants deflated, and she had additional work on her face. Vivica is set to star on season three of Dancing With The Stars. She has been working overtime for the show, and she is going to show the world her moves starting on September 12th. Go Vivica!

A war of words has erupted between Producer David Gest and Liza Minnelli. Gest is the former best friend of Michael Jackson. He counts Smokey Robinson and Dionne Warwick as two of his closest friends. He has had tons of plastic surgery that has left him looking constantly surprised. Gest married the legendary Entertainer Liza Minnelli a few years back. At first, they appeared madly in love, but less than two years later, the love was gone. Now they are fighting over her money. Liza says Gest tried to poison her. Gest says Liza beat him and hid the fact that she had Herpes! Gest says he never got it. They probably never had sex for those years. Gest dated Actress Ruth Warrick, she played “Aunt Phoebe” on the soap opera All My Children. Before she died, she admitted he never touched her, and they dated for 15 years. Gest is trying to break the Pre Nup agreement he signed when he married Minnelli. If he can prove she had herpes before they got married, Gest can say Minnelli married him under fraudulent circumstances.

Talk Show Host Rosie O’Donnell is showing her true colors. The new co-host of The View continues to run her big mouth, and she is proving that she may have a problem with African American Women. In a recent interview with Newsweek magazine, she attacks Oprah Winfrey. She reveals she was mad at Oprah for the infamous Tom Cruise incident when he jumped on her couch declaring his love for Katie Holmes. She blames Oprah for the incident saying she should have told Tom to get off the couch. She feels Oprah should have retaped the segment. Has this woman lost her mind? Can she stop hating on Oprah? From time to time, Rosie makes digs at Oprah. Remember when Rosie had a magazine called Rosie? Was it just a coincidence that her covers would sometimes mimic Oprah’s? In the Newsweek article, Rosie also talks about Star Jones. She says she didn’t get Star fired. She has been very critical of Star, and would regularly diss her in her comedy routine. Rosie says the feud started when they had on air disagreement about O.J. Simpson. Rosie made the blanket statement that the black community stood behind O.J Simpson when he got acquitted on murder charges. Star quickly corrected her stating that was not the case, and she told Rosie to stick to subjects she knows because she didn’t know jack about black people. Barbara Walters is already having regrets about hiring Rosie. She’s a loose cannon with a big mouth. Rosie has already publicly stated it is going to be hard fitting in with an ensemble cast. An African American Woman or other minority will be added to the cast at a later date. How will Rosie react? Will she give this woman a hard time? Note to Oprah: please keep your best friend Gayle King away from this show. I know Gayle would like the opportunity to work on a daily show, but Rosie is a hater and she has a problem with African American Women. Whoever gets the job to replace Star Jones will have to be ready to put Rosie in her place.

Now speaking of Tom Cruise, this week we will have a chance to see the long awaited pictures of his baby daughter Suri. The exclusive photos will appear in Vanity Fair magazine, but the tabloids have already seen the pictures and word has it the little girl looks nothing like Tom. Sources say she resembles mom Katie Holmes. I have seen the photos, and I think she looks like Tom. She’s cute with a lot of hair.

Tracey Edmonds may have landed one of the richest divorce settlements in history when she divorced Singer/Producer Babyface, but she is not sitting back resting on her laurels. Tracey is an accomplished producer. Her most noted work is the Showtime series Soul Food. Tracey has a new job. She was recently named the head of a new film studio. Our Stories Films will only produce family friendly comedies. There will be no R rated films. Bob Johnson, the founder of BET, is helping to launch this effort.

Allen Iverson’s mom Ann is the proud owner of a basketball team. Ann Iverson is the majority owner of an American Basketball Association team in Richmond, Virginia. An ABA franchise sells for $20 thousand, and it takes another $400 thousand to operate.

Former 76er, now Dallas Maverick Jerry Stackhouse just rebuilt a church for his mom. Minnie Stackhouse is a minister in Kinston, North Carolina, and her son Jerry had the church rebuilt from the ground up.

John Legend’s new album, Once Again, is due out October 24th. He says he will be teaming up with Mary J. Blige for a song.

Jody Watley says it was all a hoax. Jody admits she has never had plastic surgery, and that she leaked photos of herself bandaged and bruised. The story was she was nasty to a receptionist at the doctor’s office who in turn released the photos the press. So why did Jody do this? She wanted to promote her new album The Makeover. Jody says she doesn’t plan on getting plastic surgery because she wants to grow old gracefully. So far, the hoax isn’t working. No one is talking about this album.

When your momma is “The Boss,” you can have anything you want for your birthday. The sky is the limit. 18-year old Actor Evan Ross is the youngest son of Diana Ross, and she recently took her son on a $100 thousand shopping spree. Ross was most recently in the movie ATL, and up next is the motion picture PDR with Terrence Howard and Bernie Mac.


WHAT’S THE UNDERGROUND BUZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!


This Rapper/Actor is very frustrated with his career. He can’t stand the President of his record company. The President of the company is also a Rapper, but he spends all his time promoting himself. Will the Rapper/Actor wind up with another company? LL Cool J & Jay-Z??

This Actor/Singer is also having career troubles. His bad attitude and bad career choices are hurting his career. At a recent Video Awards Party, he started crying when he showed up to a party. He was treated like a has-been, and no one paid him any attention because he is no longer hot. He left the party in tears….Karma has come back on him. Tyrese??

Okay, Vivica is not cute with all of that plastic. (LOL at her breast deflating)!
I'm glad that someone's working with Tyra and her voice. Iritating to listen to for a whole hour. And can you imagine Baby Boy Tyrese crying??? He is arrogant for someone who started out singing on a coke commercial.

AWWW she's too cute! I think she looks like Tom.

[jitterbug13]

UB#1--LL and Jigga. LL dissed him at the VMA's preshow. He's now working with 50.

UB#2--no idea.

Ron Isley--I stand by my comments from last week.

VH1: Good call!!

Baba and the rest of The View: Karma is a b**ch and it's coming your way!

People also must forgot that Evan's dad was very wealthy. So the $100,000 spree was nothing to them.

Rosie O'Donnell needs to sit her azz down somewhere and shut the hell up.

[Divalawgirl]

I had no idea Tamyra was dating the dude in Color Me Bad. She used to work with my sister at Jomandi Productions.

Rosie McDonnell need to worry about her wife and future messed-up kids.

Something about the use of the word Karma makes me think of AVANT.
