Tyler Perry is paying for 65 children to go to Disney World from the Philly Day Camp that had allegations of shunning them from a swimming club because of racism.
Doesn’t that sound like something Madea did in a play–coming in at the last moment to help someone who had been done wrong???!!
The Black & Hispanic kids who attend the camp cheered when they heard the good news.
The Valley Club (in Huntington Valley) continues claims that refusing the children was not based on race but rather safety because many of the children could not swim.
Big ups to Tyler for doing something BIGGER & BETTER for the kids.
Chris Brown finally issues an apology to his fans:
“Hi Im Chris Brown, Since February my attorney has advised me not to speak out, even though every since the incident I wanted to publicly express my deepest regret and accept full responsibility. Although, I will do some interviews and answer some questions in the future, I thought it would be best if you hear from me that I am sorry. I have tried to live my life in a way that would make those around me proud and until recently I think I was doing a pretty good job.
I wish I had the chance to live those few moments again, but unfortunately I can’t. I’m not gonna sit here and make any excuses! I take great pride in being able to exercise self-control and what I did was inexcuseable. I’m very sad and very ashamed about what I’ve done. My mother and my spiritual teachers have taught me way better than that.
I have told Rihanna countless times and I’m telling you today that I’m truly truly sorry and that I wasn’t able to handle the situation better. I’ve done alot time soul searching, and over the last several month’s I’ve talked to my minister and my mother..and I’ve spent alot of time trying to understand what happened and why. I’ve let a lot of people down and I realized that. No one is more disappointed in me than I am.
As many of you know, I grew up in a home where there was domestic violence, and I saw first-hand what uncontrolled rage can do. I’ve sought and I am continuing to seek help to insure that what occurred in February, can never happen again. And as I sit here today, I can tell you that I’ll do everything in my power to make sure that it never happens again. I promise that.
What I did is unacceptable, 100%. I can only ask and pray that you forgive me, please.
I hope that others learn from my mistake. I intend to live my life so I am truly worthy of the term role model. Thank you.”
Wow! I so wasn’t expecting this right now. Maybe months ago but better late than never.”
WOW. I appreciate what he said, but his sincerity with the video is questionable. It is about time he came out with a statement to address the situation he put himself in.
I can’t decide if it’s her or the hair?? But I like it…
This is my favorite one:
Speaking of getting their swag on check this out:
Kelis has FINALLY changed from that blue doo to a pink and purple one. I think I like this better. She is reallly coming back to the top with her hair game. And Keysha hopped on the trend of shaving her head. She is doing it!!! I like that color she added on to it. Fierce, honey! Fierce!
Is it just me or has everyone tried to change up their style in the past few weeks?
First, Taraji Henson changed her hair from a short bob to a spikey low cut. It’s a good change for her.

Then, Amber Rose dyed her hair to match her leggings. This just proves that this girl could wear a brown paper bag and make it look HOT.

Next, Ciara decides to change from her notorious long hair to a short haircut, similiar to Taraji P. Henson. Despite it’s wig-like nature it’s still a VERY fierce look for her.

Finally, Que from Day 26 has cut and dyed his hair to something similiar to Sisqo. I don’t know what made him wanna do this.
Ne-Yo breaks down in tears mid-concert. He responds to his performance, “Basically, I have an issue with not knowing when to say enough is enough, so last night in Manchester, my body said it for me. I got on stage energized and ready to go, even tho for the last 5 days I’ve been dealing with a sinus infection. I paid it no real mind, and kept on going, like I always do. My voice couldn’t take it. From the first song I knew something was wrong. I shoulda stopped there, but I come from a school where no matter what, the show must go on. It wasn’t until about 4 songs in that I came to the painful realization that my voice was done, literally nothing left, and that I would have to stop the show.
Now let me explain something to you:
When I say this music, that stage, my fans, THIS is my life, I’m not saying it cause it sounds good in a sound bite. THIS IS MY LIFE!! Not much else matters to me, honestly. My music, my family and the people that appreciate my music…..the fans. THAT’S ABOUT IT!! I’ve never had to stop a show, never dreamed I’d ever have to. So when I had to walk out on that stage and tell 12,000 of the people responsible for making me who I am that I could not perform for them, it literally broke my heart. I cried harder than I have in a very long time with no shame whatsoever.
To anyone out there that would like to question my manhood because of this I’ll say this to you:
If the one thing you cared about more than anything else in the world was threatened or even taken from you, if you knew that the people you cared for the most you had to disappoint and it was your fault… and this didn’t spark some kind of emotional outbreak within you…then with no shame I’ll say you are truly a stronger man than I.
To the people of Manchester, know that I love you and I thank you for being so understanding and supportive. And I promise you that you will receive the show deserved.
Thanks to the fans for the love and concern.
And to the bloggers….go to hell.” (Ne-Yo via necolebitchie.com)
Well, I still love me some Ne-Yo, but he needs to get it together.
It’s official. Jermaine Dupri and Janet Jackson have SPLIT UP. According to US Weekly, they have split on terms that they are too opposite. He is more social, while Janet, is more shy. Reports also include that Jermaine not showing at MJ’s funeral might have played a role in their break up.
Despite their break up both seem to be moving on very well. She is in HOTlanta, filming the sequel to “Why Did I Get Married?”. Jermaine has been traveling doing DJ gigs.

Happy Birthday Tiny! TI is in jail but he still did it big for his wife’s birthday party at Luckie Lounge.
Tiny showed up to Luckie Lounge with her entourage to the club looking happy. Her friends there included Young Dro, Kandi Burrrus, and Toya. Lil Duval presented Tiny with her gifts, including one from her husband/fiance/boyfriend TIP. His gifts were by far the most spectacular of the night. TI laced his woman with a BEAUTIFUL heart shaped tennis necklace and a HUGE BLINGED out ring.
There have been rumors and photos that Janet Jackson had a mystery child (Renee) for years that she keeps underwraps. Well the child is Janet’s NIECE. Renee is the daughter of Janet’s brother Jackie.
