Patty Jackson's 4-1-1

for week: September 4, 2006
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

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.

American Dream

Season two 'American Idol' winner Ruben Studdard is readying his third studio album, appropriately titled 'The Return.' The Birmingham, Ala.-bred balladeer, who turns 28 on Tuesday Sept. 12, said he decided on the name because people act as though he's disappeared.

"Every time I go somewhere people are always asking me, 'When you gonna come back out?' All that stuff. I thought it would be cool to name the album that since people always be asking where I been and what I been doing," he told me by phone from his Alabama home.

The fact of the matter is that Studdard hasn't really had much down time. He released his post-'Idol' debut album 'Soulful' in 2003, which was certified double-platinum (2 million units sold in the U.S.). That album was followed by the gospel CD, 'I Need An Angel.' That release was certified gold (500,000 units sold in the U.S.) in just five weeks and ranks as one of the 30 bestselling gospel releases of all time.

"Its cool, man, you know," Studdard said of people disregarding the success of his gospel venture, before adding, "Everybody doesn't listen to inspirational music, so I can't get mad at them for not knowing that the album was out. I had a number one single with that album on the Gospel charts, the Christian charts and at the Urban [Adult Contemporary] charts."

Studdard thought he'd venture into the gospel realm again on a special live CD/DVD called 'Gospel Goes Classical' that he recorded on May 7, in Alabama. The 'American Idol' winner sang alongside jazz vocalist Jonathan Butler and Prophetess Juanita Bynum, who were backed by Dr. Henry Panion, III and the GGC Symphony Orchestra and Choir. 'Gospel Goes Classical' will be released Sept. 26, however Studdard's songs and likeness have been removed from the compilation.

"I don't think they could get the stuff together with Maranatha! [Music] and J Records. But we recorded it in Birmingham about three months ago. Ah man, Jonathan Butler hands down is one of the best singer's I've ever heard in my life. And you know Juanita just goes without saying. She's a blessing man, and I enjoyed being with the both of them," said Studdard.

Shortly after completing that project, Studdard headed to Durham, NC where he missed the 'American Idol' season five finale because he checked into the Duke Diet & Fitness Center. "It was like a fat camp for rich people," he laughed. "It's like a five star hotel and they really treat you really well. [I] learned how to change my eating habits and stuff. Basically getting my nutrition stuff together." He's kept off the 15 pounds he lost at the center, and of the nutritional things they taught him, he confessed: "I've maintained all of it." In addition to talking about his Oct. 17 release , I had some 'American Idol' questions for him.

What 'A.I.' finalists do you still communicate with? "Everybody from my season. I talk to Fantasia every now and again. But when it comes to my season, I keep up with just about the whole cast."

Which finalist from all five seasons would you have chosen to be an 'American Idol?' "Elliott Yamin! I just think he's dope man. He has one of the best voices out, that I've heard on the show in a long time."

Will you take Mandisa up on her offer to go on a date? "What offer? Everybody has been telling me that, but I haven't heard her say that though."

So should we tell Mandisa that she needs to call you? "That's what I am saying!"

What do you think about Corey Clark's allegations that he slept with Paula Abdul? "I don't really have any thoughts. I never saw anything like that happen, so I can't make a comment about it. Yeah, we still cool [though]."

How about the man who told the National Enquirer he slept with your runner-up Clay Aiken? "No comment. I don't really think nothing about it."

Buzzworthy

According to Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune gossip C.J., former NBA bad boy Dennis Rodman was in Minneapolis to host a 'Pimp 'n' Ho Bash" at the Spin Nightclub. The 45-year-old Rodman, who married his third wife Michelle Moyer in May 2003, attempted to flirt with a Minnesota resident named Stephanie Blanda at the downtown hot spot called Drink. Banda was at Drink for a bachelorette party for her friend, bride elect Autumn K. (Apparently Autumn begged C.J. not to use her last name because she's marrying "a very wealthy person in the [Minneapolis] suburbs.") When Autumn walked over to find out why her drink was taking so long, Rodman and his handler wanted to know why she decided to get married. "Dennis said, 'Why are you getting married?' I said, 'Because,' and he goes, I don't know if you've ever been with a black guy but we have big &%#@s," Autumn told C.J. When the Twin City gossip called his rep Darren Prince for comment, the person answering the phone said: "I don't think you're going to get one!" After putting the reporter on hold, the aide returned with the typical, "There's no comment."

Gwendolyn Osborne, a Barker's Beauty on 'The Price is Right, wed former NBA star Kenny "The Jet" Smith Sept. 2. Smith is currently a NBA sports analyst for TNT.

The release date for Cheryl "Coko" Clemons of SWV's debut solo gospel CD, 'Grateful,' has been pushed back until Oct. 31. The album was originally scheduled to be released Oct. 3, on Light Records. The CD features a remake of The Clark Sisters' song "Endow Me," where Coko sings alongside Fantasia, Lil' Mo and Faith Evans. (They're calling it The Clark Sisters with Tattoos). The album also features production by Donald Lawrence (Mary J. Blige, Karen Clark Sheard), Shep Crawford (Deborah Cox, Yolanda Adams) and Warryn Campbell (Mary Mary, Kierra "KiKi" Sheard), in addition to a collaboration with her mother, Lady Tibba Gamble.

Former NBA star turned jazz musician Wayman Tisdale's latest CD 'Way Up' has hit No. 1 on the contemporary jazz charts. The disc features the former hoops star collaborating with Eric Benet, Kirk Whalum, George Duke, Jonathan Butler, Bob James and Dave Koz.

Christian jazz artist Kim Jordan inked a deal with Jordan Entertainment Group/Koch to release her CD, 'Full Circle.' The partnership with Jordan's company, ProSounity Music Entertainment, made the one-time independent project available nationally in stores Aug. 22. Jordan is a talented singer/musician who plays keyboards, horns, strings, bass and organ on the new CD.

Toni Braxton has added a $1 million microphone to her Las Vegas show, 'Revealed.' According to BV sister company TMZ.com, Braxton has struck a deal with The Giantto Group, a high-end jewelry company, to use its one-of-a-kind Million Dollar Microphone throughout the run of her show. The mic is made of white gold and encrusted with 650 karats of diamonds. "It's so extravagant, like taking a bath in Dom Perignon. I love it," said the one-time bankrupt Braxton. 'Revealed' runs through March 2007 at the Flamingo Las Vegas.

On Sept. 2 'American Idol' season one finalist Tamyra Gray got married to Sam Watters, a songwriter and producer from the '90s R&B group Color Me Badd, in Capri, Italy. The 27-year-old 'A.I.' favorite wed 36-year-old Watters before 45 guests on an ocean-side cliff. After the ceremony, "They walked through the city and townspeople were opening their windows and cheering for them," Gray's manager, Lisa Braudé, told People magazine. The couple has been together for two years and was actually engaged when Gray's movie 'The Gospel' hit theaters in fall 2005. I know because I saw Gray in the bar of the Ritz-Carlton hotel in the Buckhead community of Atlanta and actually had the waiter send a drink over to her. The waiter told me that she said, "Thanks," but that she was wearing an engagement ring. I interviewed her the next morning, and she spilled the beans then. As for Watters, since his Color Me Badd days he's worked as a songwriter and producer for artists such as Celine Dion, Kelly Clarkson and, most recently, Jessica Simpson.

Can't Say Names…

Say it ain't so. I hear the entourage of a certain singer currently on tour is waiting for the artist's road show to end so that they can tell her that her man is cheating on her. Sources tattle that the belter's beau, who has contributed to her recent lifestyle change, has been keeping company with a couple of chicks on the side. Now her camp is afraid to break the news to the singer for fear she'll cancel the rest of her tour. After the tour wraps, the relationship could be 'a wrap' as well. They have 5 people listed. B's not on tour. Mimi's on tour, but single. I think Kelly Clarkson is also single. Madonna is on tour and married, but no recent lifestyle changes. There's one person left and I hope it's not true but I think this is Mary.

Frankly Speaking

"I told you two weeks ago that Beyonce's new album, 'B'day,' was a shrill dud. Unless you're into that annoying siren on "Ring the Alarm," this is one CD better off forgotten. … Unlike Justin Timberlake's solidly commercial, if dully constructed 'Futuresex/Lovesounds' album, 'B'day' is one headache-inducing trip down hip-hop lane. On top of thudding programmed drums, the otherwise gifted singer sings for some reason about an octave above her range. There is no advisory for dogs." -Fox News's Fox411 columnist Roger Friedman on Beyonce's 'B'day' CD.Are you deaf?

[AKA2D '91]

It must be Mary, hence the 'wrap' part. Now, back in the day it was speculated that Mary "stole" him from his ex-wife. I wasn't there, so I don't know. LOL

If it's true, then back to the OLD Mary!

[jitterbug13]

"Recent lifestyle change" gave it away for me. I don't get the "wrap" part. Please explain that to me.

If the old Mary comes back, I hope she is able to reunite and forgive her family but I don't want her back using drugs and boose.

My best friend worked with friends of his ex and all I heard was how Mary was the other woman and how he left his wife for her. Like you said, I wasn't there, but that is what I had heard.
