MJB's Listening Session+Scoop From T.O.'s Pre B-Day Celebration

Dec 07 | by Natasha

MJB looked fab at her listening session last night in the NYC. And YBF NY correspondents Tichanda and Kisha hit it up:

Y'all know her MANager Kendu was there.

And she killed her performances. The new album Growing Pains is a mix of old school Mary and new school Mary and everybody in the place was definitely feeling it. Check out another track off the album with Ludacris called "Grown Woman": [audio:02_Grown_Woman.mp3] Nice. And y'all know YBF's got some exclusive video of Mary partying it up in the DJ Booth last night:

Fun times.

T.O. and Felicia in a GQ spread

Terrell Owens had a pre brithday dinner last night at a resort in Dallas. YBF celebs like Jamie Foxx, Tasha Smith, Serena Williams, Michelle Williams, LaToya Luckett, Brandy, Kenya Moore, Elise Neil, Melanie Thornton, and Melyssa Ford hit up the party. And YBF sources tell me it was a surprisingly fabulous affair. Interestingly enough, while T.O. made a request for every "extra" chick at the party to be a gorgeous "model type" (supposedly to impress his boys), he showed up with his ex-girlfriend Felicia. Funny since Felicia and Henry Simmons are supposedly still an item. And even funnier since T.O. was chasing Kenya Moore's skirt all night. Hmmm. Felicia and T.O. did remain extra close all evening since Felicia wan't letting him out her sight. I guess if she can't have him no one can. Deelishis, New York, Saaphyri, and video chick Angel got cut at the last minute due to the hoochie factor. I hear they didn't want such "caliber" at such a high-end event. And Elise Neil sang with her group and supposedly to a disinterested room. She did a lap dance a la "Cater To You" for T.O. and of course he was drooling. And according to my sources, Jamie Foxx was doing his usual thing chasing the "extras". Brandy looked great but seemed real uncomfortable. Apparently she was extra chatty with a hot guy all night. But it wasn't her ex Quentin Richardson that she still longs for... Look what's coming to DVD:

Oh hells yeah. February 5th peoples. The Randomness:

Kanye has cancelled his Jingle Ball appearance.
The Grammy noms are in. And Kanye is killin' it with eight nominations.

Thirty years already???!!! I

Thirty years already???!!! I remember sitting in a theatre near the Astoria Kaufman studios (where they filmed most of the scenes) watching this movie. Time sure is flying! And can I just say how much I hate that they're releasinng a 30th anniversary edition? I already have the dang movie on DVD! But I'm gonna buy this edition away. I just love looking at old ass Diana Ross as Dorothy. She KNOW she was wrong for accepting that role. SHE KNOW!

I guess I'm the only one in here that didn't care for the Wiz. Diana Ross was annoying in the film and also too old for the role. It should have gone to a much younger actress.

Kendua is UGLY. MJB is too STUPID to see that her low-life just want her money.No wonder her CD is title GROWING PAINS the BEETCH has not learned a thing. If she is going to let someone steal her money, let it be someone in her family. MJB TAKE THAT BLONDE SH*T OFF YOUR HEAD. You are no longer in the GHETTO nor tricking. I do not know who is the worst, when the blonde wings, you or P Dickey’s mother. Eve is the only one that can pull off blonde.

I attended TO's birthday party on Monday night and it was very nice. Of course Jamie was doing the fool in VIP pouring Patron down ladies throats all night! Somebody PLEASE give him a PATRON ENDORSEMENT. (Did I say PLEASE?) Oh - no disrepect but Serena looked HARD in her dress and was chin grinning in some (white) football players face ALL NIGHT while Brandy acted like her Escort/Bodyguard!

Lol, I don't know, seems suspect to me....[/quote] Thought I was the only one who peep that. No wonder he threw such a fab party!!! LOL (Sorry I don't normally hate but I had to put my 2 in!)

I don't blame Kanye for

I don't blame Kanye for canceling. US folks would try to be all up in his business in a way that the European crowd was not. I think we have a different perceived relationship with celebrities in this country and a warped sense of entitlement to their personal lives - sometimes** (here's my caveat though - **there is a responsibility in there for celebs too, because they (should) know the life they are choosing and often manipulate these dynamics to stay in the game). However, back to Kanye's case. There may be nothing more devastating and life altering than tragically losing your mother (add to that the fact that Dr. Donda clearly was/is an amazing one!), so as a once casual Kanye fan now turned lifetime supporter, I think we should give him a pass on any professional choice he makes for one full year (at least). THEN after that, support the hell out of whatever creative/expressive project comes out of the obvious range of emotions he must be experiencing. (dang...Tupelo "be" droppin' knowledge on this-here site sometimes. I'm starting to scare myself :-)

I've had The Wiz on DVD for a while too. If they remade it tomorrow I could be a one woman show and to the whole thing myself! Seems as though K2007 has positivity issues and lacks the capacity to say anything that is remotely positive or even constructive and deserves no recognition from any of the decent folks who comment on here. As for the T.O party, it doesn't surprise me a bit that the F.O.L chicks got rejected. Class is something they could all work on.And I didn't know Elise Neal sang? When did that happen? Don't think I would want to listen either.
