The trailer looks pretty good, I didn't care for Inside Man.
Am I the only person who hasn't seen a Tyler Perry play?

Tasia also needs to fire her make-up artist. Monica does look nice. Did anyone happen to see her on Access Granted - Dozen Roses? Her son is too cute!
Epitome - U r not the only one who hasn't seen a Tyler Perry play. I would love to see one if I ever get the chance. I believe one of his plays came to Jackson a while back but I missed it.

Jackpot pays bills, and more
BY JACK KRESNAK
FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER
November 17, 2006
LANSING -- The first thing a working woman who suddenly comes into a little money knows is that you pay the bills first and, if there's anything left over, you buy something nice for yourself.
So, the first thing 48-year-old Loretta Brown of Detroit said she would do after leaving the Michigan Lottery office in Lansing on Thursday with a multimillion-dollar check is catch up on the bills.
"The first place that I am going to go?" Brown said, repeating a reporter's question during a brief afternoon news conference. "DTE Energy. I'm going to pay my gas bill, my light bill. I'm going to pay Sprint."
Brown won Tuesday's $75-million Mega Millions jackpot. Lottery commissioner Gary Peters said Brown chose a lump-sum payment of $44.6 million; 28.9% of it will be withheld for taxes, leaving Brown with about $32 million.
Brown said she and her family had not made other plans beyond taking a trip next week. Her family includes her husband, a new-car prep manager for an auto dealer, and two adult sons -- none of whom she would name for security reasons.
"Right now, we're living in very critical, dangerous times, so the less exposure," the better, Brown said.

------------------------
I love seeing regular people win the lottery. She is a VERY smart woman paying her bills first and keeping her family members' names out of the paper.

My .08 cents...
I think that Monica is looking very good post-baby. I think she's starting to show more maturity and stye.
Fantasia looks a hot mess. What is she up to these days? Is she working on another album?
I was just saying that Kanye should take a break. He's talented, but his attitude is getting in the way of that.
Did anyone see Mary J on the Tyra show last week? She looks really good. KCi is just hating because he can't get any time in the spotlight.

True.
At one point, she had matured, but I guess to keep up with the youngin's, you have to act, do and say as they do.

I think with this album Monica is showing even more of her "hood" attitude that she has in previous albums. But it's not selling records right now.
Taisa is suppose to come out with a new one next month (last I heard).

It's time for Monica to grow up. All these roughneck, thug life, ghetto girl, it's-all-good-in-the-hood songs do not appeal to the masses. Maybe she should try rapping because that's what her songs are--harmonic and melodious raps. She needs to step up her game.

We are >>>here<<<. 
And Monica spent most of her time growing up in the 'burbs. It was her dad and her boyfriends who drew her to the 'hood.
I think her songs would be more belivable if someone like Keysha (who grew up in the hood) sang them.

If you all EVA need a GREAT laugh, at least watch Meet the Browns. That's my FAVORITE one.

I'm not eager to go out and get Monica's current release. I still bump the 2003 release.

Really? I own it but never made it past the first 20 minutes. Maybe I will try again this weekend.
