Biggie Jr. On The Set & Al Reynolds Says "Just Call Him Al"

May 13 | by Natasha

Faith Evans and her son Christopher, Jr. were spotted on the set of Notorious. Looks like he may be playing a role in the movie. Like Biggie said...."In the red and black lumberjack with the hat to match..."

Oh Al. Mr. Reynolds and his perfectly manicured brows have now created a myspace page to vent his frustrations about his divorce from Star. His subline is Just Call Me Al. He says he married her for love despite what others are saying. *cue the violins* An excerpt from his "About Me" section: Dear Friends: If you think you are having a tough day, may I propose you walk in my shoes for a few hours. In my mind, it feels like “Dump on Al Month.” And I’m not having fun yet. I have been called a gigolo, a freeloader, unemployed, a sham and many other things that don’t bear repeating. People on television, radio and the internet have spoken disparagingly of my life, my sexuality, my career and my integrity. The media has barraged me (at my home), my friends, my family(including my 79 year old mother), my college classmates, my students and my professional colleagues. Yet, despite this intense level of provocation, I have said nothing. My Publicist has put out a one sentence statement: “We’re taking the high road.” And we have and will continue on that path. As much as I want to defend myself, it seems like a silly and futile exercise. It’s clear that the media doesn’t want to let the truth get in the way of a good story. I hate to ruin their fun. Oh yes, there's more. He also still has his status set to Married and posted this new pic with his wedding ring on. Interesting.

Looks like the 90210 spinoff has officially casted a black actor:

It's Tristan Wilds from The Wire. Congrats to him. He'll also be in the upcoming Secret Life Of Bees movie.

I really didn't watch the show before and I most likely won't watch this one either but I'll see. Maybe they'll surpise me.

Oh yeah, and also...I can't

Oh yeah, and also...I can't say that I care about the 90210 spin off, but I used to catch episodes from time to time, and when you think about it, they wheeled in all sorts of characters that became regulars and principles for a good amount of time(certainly saved Tiffany Amber Theisen's career at the time), so their always hope that they add in an ethnic "Eve"(can only hope she's a sister) for their ethnic "Adam" Tristan Wilds. Like 90210 or so many of these shows, as soon as it takes off the actors will become unsettled and thinking they can do better, and will try to get a raise or out of their contract, and so the producers will intro a new character to replace them. Bottom line is...if you don't plan on watching it, aren't there other "bigger fish to fry"? "The Hills" doesn't rep for me, so I don't watch it, and that isn't the only show trust me, lol.

Alright, y'all here's my 25

Alright, y'all here's my 25 cents(or more worth) lol. I love Faith, and she looks good with a just a lil more meat on her. She proved her point that she could lose weight and look good like any of the other R&B Chicks. Coming from the size she was...she's my "sHero". Weight fluctuates within reason even if you're eating decent and being relatively active. I lost 90lbs over the course of a year, eating better and long distance walking, and have kept it for another half a year, but every day is test, lol. She's shown me that since it's her downtime she relax a bit. And like others have been saying...I'm gonna need her to drop another CD, like NOW! lol. I agree that I'm a lil concerned about the health of her son, however unlike some of y'all I realize that genetics might be the culprit on this one, so I guess that's even more reason to be on top of his health from an early age. As for Al...I'm not making any judgments because honestly, I don't really know anything else about him other than the fact that he was married to Starr, people hate him for some reason, and now their getting divorced. Please, even if he is in total denial about being Gay and doesn't feel disclosing his personal life, he wouldn't be the 1st or last person(pseudo-celeb or civilian). Bottom line, it's really none of our business, but since we all have opinions, that's all they can be. I gotta say that I've smelled a certain stench of desperation off of Starr, and still do(she always wants to be in the public eye). So who can blame him for being an oportunist, who isn't on some level. At least he isn't Kevin Federline. It's a sad day now that K-Fed smells more like roses than Al, so people need to chill! Carol was right, he really hasn't retaliated, so gives a crap if he wants to open a myspace page to express himself. It's better than seeing some wack cell-cam nudie pics of him or something.

I don't think he's evil, but to sit on this blog and speak some hateful sh&t comparing a black in this country to a black from an island, specifically Jamaica, makes you not only sound like and idiot, but makes you look like one too. It is the black woman in THIS country (as opposed to the island of Jamaica - we know the tragedy of the African nations) who is being racked with disease, hustled by straight AND "down low" black men who have never left their neighborhoods, let alone this country, but it wouldn't occur to me to celebrate a non-American based on the vile movements of the black men in this country. THAT, my dear, took you, a true American. You would have been lovely during Jim Crow...get over that nationalistic sh*t. What you are saying doesn't even make sense.

Is no one tired of the fact that these 90210 type shows almost always refuse to cast a black actress in any of these ensembles? They add flavor by adding straight black boys to the scripts (which is ridiculous) 'cause it's the sistas that watch these shows... Annoying.
