Look Who's Back...

Yes, that is Dru Hill still looking like...Dru Hill. They hit the red carpet and premiere party for their new ATL based reality show Platinum House with Keith Sweat. Please check out these foolywang material pics: According to the press release: Dru Hill’s comeback story takes place in a mansion a la Real World house- in Atlanta, Georgia, and for the next month they must essentially re-learn how to work together again as a group-counteract and solve all the problems that prevented any previous chances of an album. The remaining faces of Dru Hill– SISQO (Mark Althavean Andrews), Nokio (Tamir Ruffin), Jazz (Larry Anthony) and new face Tao (Antwuan Simpson) with manger Kevin Peck-go through an intensive work regimen with the help of a licensed therapist, team-building coach, trainer and vocal coach all determined to equip them with tools to make the road to their comeback a little smoother. Keith Sweat is executive producing and it airs on Peachtree TV tonight. Supposedly going to be hitting Bravo as well. My screener must have gotten lost in the mail. Darn. More of Blonde Bombshell Sisqo and his people when you read the rest...

RUMOR CONTROL: Lauren London's Statement+More On Ray-J's "Danger"

Lauren London wants to make it clear she hasn't said anything about the Chris Brown/Rihanna situation. Apparently certain "media sources" are stating she had some things to say about the cause of the fight heard around the world. Here's her official statement about the situation sent to us earlier today:
[I] does not have a MySpace page nor have I released any statement regarding Chris Brown and Rihanna.
Strictly to the point I see.

SCANDAL?!: "Danger" Says Ray-J IS The Father!

Never trust a chick with tattoos on her face.  Or could we?  "Danger", a contestant on VH-1's "Flavor of Ray-J",  is going extra hard telling everyone that she is three months pregnant and Ray-J is indeed the father.  She says they slept together toward the end of the first week on the show (we're working on verifying that the show was even taped three months ago).  Ray-J denies the entire thing.  His rep says none of it is true. Whether or not they actually slept together, I guess

This Reality Ish Is Just Getting Reckless Now...

Afternoon Tidbits: Jennifer Hudson Performing At NAACP Image Awards+Other Ish

Academy Award-winning actress and Grammy Award nominee Jennifer Hudson and Seal are set to perform at the 40TH NAACP IMAGE AWARDS, which will broadcast live from Los Angeles' historic Shrine Auditorium Thursday, Feb. 12 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live) on FOX. Additionally, Sean "Diddy" Combs, Taraji P.

Morning Tidbits...

It's here.  Beyonce and Idris Elba's new poster for their Obsessed movie is out.  And she's rocking the fab black Valentino peep toe bow tie pumps I just copped a few days ago myself.  Loves it. The gorgeous Chanel Iman is covering the new issue of Page Six magazine.  And here's some excerpts:
On her frustrations at the difficulties that models of color face in the industry: “It’s not just black girls. It’s ethnic girls in general: Brazilian girls, Hispanic. You really don’t see a lot of Asians either. A lot of designers think that if every girl on the runway looks exactly alike, then people will come to the shows and buy the clothes because they won’t be focusing on the models….It’s not even just runway either… us ethnic girls should be getting a lot of the covers too! I would love to be on half of the campaigns these [white] girls are booking, all looking exactly alike. It’s not right. It’s not fair.” On rumors she has been involved with Kanye West, rapper Tyga, and singer-producer Ryan Leslie: “I’m young and I’m dating. But I’m not gonna say any names. There are special people in my life but nothing serious. Just having a man in general is a job! I have one job; I can’t have a second. I’m the type of girl that if I have a man, I want to be a good girl-friend and be there for them and take care of them.” On her close relationship with Tyra Banks: “She keeps it real. She tells it like it is. She’s really been a great mentor for me.”

Fab chick indeed. Marc Jacobs is really killing me with these skirts.  He and Kanye are parading around Paris right now for Men's Fashion Week.  And Kanye's showing off the red Louis Vuitton shoe he just designed. More pics when you read the rest...

Deshawn Snow Speaks Out About Getting the Axe+Tameka Foster Is NOT The Next ATL Housewife+T.I.'s New Show+Obama Hennessy?

So Deshawn didn't know she was getting the axe from Bravo and won't be appearing on Season 2 of "Real Housewives of Atlanta".  She gave Essence an interview saying she she wasn't asked back because she "was too human for the circus show". In other words, she didn't fit the crazy gold digger loud mouth black woman stereotype Bravo wants to pump up even more for next season.  SMDH.  Here's a snippet of the interview:
ESSENCE.COM: We hear that you are no longer returning to "The Real Housewives of Atlanta." Is that true? DESHAWN SHOW: Yes, one of the producers called me yesterday and said that they wouldn't take my option. ESSENCE.COM: What reason did they give for not inviting you back for the second season? SNOW: [One of the producers] called and said that I was "too human for a circus show" and that because the show did so well, they are about to pump up the drama and they didn't think that I would fit in. He gave me an example, saying that during the reunion when I found out what a few of the other ladies said about me, they were expecting me to say more, but I'm not the type to go "television" and start acting crazy because somebody's talking about me. I'm fine with the decision. It wasn't my decision. They let me go and there are no hard feelings. I am thankful for the opportunity. ESSENCE.COM: So were you at all shocked by the decision? SNOW: I didn't see it coming. I was shocked because I just talked to them in December about the new season. It's not like they came to me and gave me an option by saying, "We're going to take a new direction and we want to know if you could be more like this." I was a little hurt, but I just look at it like I am what I am. [My personality] didn't seem to be a problem before, but I suppose the show took a different direction and they no longer see me as the right fit. If you look at all the other housewives, they are all different. I believe God moves people out of your way. It's about God having his hand upon you and doing things for you. I'm not judging my situation. I look at the show as just a shutter-glimpse of what God has in store for me. I enjoyed being on the show and hanging with the girls. At the end of the day, I was the same person throughout the show. I never changed. I was authentic and true to myself and I can't control what other people do.

She says she's still in school and writing teen/children's books.  Tameka Foster has also spoken to Essence about the rumor that she'll be on Season 2.  She says it's definitely not true.  I'm not sure if I'm happy or mad about that. More ish when you read the rest...
