SPOTTED: Tameka Foster's A Do-Gooder

Sep 17 | by Natasha

Tameka Foster was spotted in Atlanta speaking at the Power Generation Conference for the kids. The do-gooder stylist was pubbing the foundation she started for teen girls and their self-esteem:

She was armed with her Birkin bag, tuxedo pants, and a black and white blouse. And Fonzworth Bentley. Freddy O snapped the pics and reports: Tameka has started a foundation called “The Lost Ones,” a non-profit that tries to teach healthy self image to 12 to 18-year-old girls. The foundation offers these “at risk” teens four-day retreats, seminars, beauty makeovers and motivational speakers. Well that's nice... In other news, Bobby Brown is speaking out to give his side of the story in response to Whitney's "Oprah" interview:

Ummmm.... The Randomness: 1. Kerry Washington and Joy Bryant are also do-gooders. Story

I don't care how deep in love

I don't care how deep in love I am... NO ONE and I do mean no one can make me do or try anything that I don't want to. I am a grown a$$ woman and a mother and there is no way in hell that I would ever jeopardize losing my child. I blame both Whitney and Bobby b/c something inside of Whit made her want to try the drugs and stay with him and continue to use them. Everyone knew Bobby had a rougue side so that wasn't a surprise. But she married him and chose to have a child with him and then stayed in the destructive relationship and let her child watch it. And if your child has to be the level headed one and tell you to get a divorce then something is really wrong. Both of them can miss me with that we were so in love crap. That is what happens when you put man or woman before God....

SoopDawg: Bobby handled the way it should be handled istead of airing out the dirty like Whitney did. He also took the blame for his own problems instead of trying to look like a victim……..like Whitney did. Agreed, he said " We corrupted EACH OTHER". It takes two!

BY THE L00KZ OF YA GRAVI,,,i dont even kno WHAT the hell im talkn 2.... and furthermore im not sayn whitney waz an angel, who is??? but even a blind man can see she wasnt nothin lyk wat she became after dealn wit bobby, yes she waz grown n coulda said no, but when u n that deep luv ....if he luved her enuf he woulda never brought drugs or anythin lyk that around her...i suggest u rewatch her interview... SAID SHE: jus az i thought bobby’s interview waz useless…lol i smell a book comin from him…..he kno he broke whitney down, she waz a princess when she got wit him…i think her interview waz az honest and deep az it can get….wat did ppl want?? picz? and storiez of her runnin around nakid or sumthin….itz her life and her story…shez still breathtaking , i guess she neva lost that^^^^ At Keki… How do you know what happened in their relationship? Were you there? Did Whitney or Bobby confide in you PERSONALLY? People kill me with their partial opinions. Bobby didn’t even come at Whitney inthat interview. He was CLEARLY taking responsibilities for his part. So for you to basically be like o it was his fault… It was ALL his fault like Whintey ain’t a grown as woman who should be capable of making decisions on her own is ridiculous.

Lotus: I’d rather see her

Lotus: I’d rather see her doing something for our community other than just sitting on her *ss talking sh*t though I don't want to be a hater, but I was at that conference and spoke with Ms. Foster. I didn't even realize it was her at first and sincerely inquired about the organization because I have experience with nonprofits and mentoring young girls. Not only did she not have any real information about the organization, details about their programming or outreach, she was rude as well. I was completely shocked. She looked great, but her attitude stunk! I think it's unfortunate that celebrities (and their (ex)wives) set up this nonprofits for the tax write off or just to be seen. They have the opportunity to really help the community, but don't get really hands on.

Dang.. just cuz she attempted surgery does that negate every thing she does in life? I mean... Star Jones went through with surgery.. and just cuz Pamela Anderson got herpes and ginormous tits it does not negate her efforts for animals rights. Don't even care for Tameka like that and I gotta say I am glad to see her doing things for her community.. even if it's just bc she wanna be seen @ least she's doing something positive.

I got no respect for Bobby after hearing he spat in his wifes face. Even his own daughter does not take him seriously, she was the one who told Whitney to divorce him...so that says alot!!!

I don't know why the umm on

I don't know why the umm on Bobby. He didn't sound that terrible for a change. Everybody blames him for teh drug use but I think it was probably that tie that bound them together in the first place. I don't think he got her started on that. I think it was one of the things they had in common. And somebody pbviously DID care to here what he had to say hence the interview. I'm sure he was approached in light of the interview with O, not the other way around.

Why if you're working on

Why if you're working on someone's self-esteem issues would you brand their shirts with the word LOST. If you're about reaching them and helping them aren't they officially FOUND? I applaud the effort but the "brand" needs adjusting.

@ Bryant Yes it does, how

@ Bryant Yes it does, how can you tell someone to have a positive self image and self esteem when you are not happy with yourself and you arent doing it the natural way. She almost died having surgery, there are certain things that yes what you do affects, what does herpes have to do with animal rights. Please. I said what I said and I meant it!!

I don't understand some of

I don't understand some of you people, when did Whitney ever say that Bobby made her do drugs???? all she stated was the way he treated her in their marriage and I believe her. Everyone has always been complaining that she needs to leave him and when she finally does and tells why, you criticize her. She owned up to her problems and I respect her for that, Bobby blamed Whitney in his book for his use of coke and you guys aren't mentioning that.
