Strategy: Cherry Coke Gets Fresh Jay-Z Remix
The omnipresent rapper gives Coke's line extension a new spin.
January 29, 2007
By Kenneth Hein
Rap star/entrepreneur Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter, who often references the time he spent dealing drugs on the streets of Brooklyn, N.Y., will be pushing a different kind of Coke next month. Coca-Cola has tapped Carter and his multimillion dollar apparel company Rocawear to remix its Cherry Coke brand.
Jay-Z will play a hand in all aspects of the fruit-flavored soda's relaunch, ranging from the look of the new can to the TV commercials and even co-producing and appearing at the brand's Feb. 7 launch at New York's Fashion Week. Cherry Coke Zero, its diet sibling, will also debut.

MISS TLC SAYS: Ugh. I love me some Shawn Carter but this is just getting dangerously close to overkill at this point. Budweiser Select, General Motors, Hewlett Packard, and now Cherry Coke?!?!?!? C'mon now Jigga. There is NOTHING classy or gangsta about Cherry Coke. Leave the soda pop-hawking to the real pop stars. Yes, you are so mainstream now that you are considered a pop artist yourself but you know what I'm saying. Britney, Pink, your girl Beyonce...you get the picture. I do NOT want to start hearing the following lyrics outta you:
Give the drummer some Cherry Coke
I already gave the summer some Cherry Coke
It's the winter's turn
Cherry Coke is the coldest
It's just getting better with time
H. O. V. A.
Glass bottles of that coke cher-ray
I’ll take you shopping, take long trips
I’ll pop the cola, you can take sips

Brandy's Luck Gets Worse
From MSNBC.com...
Brandy sued for $50 million over car crash
Suit claims the R&B star was ‘driving recklessly’ when crash occurred

The lawsuit, filed on Tuesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, claims “Brandy Norwood was driving recklessly in the freeway when her car collided with Awatif Aboudihaj’s car.”
Aboudihaj’s parents are seeking both punitive and compensatory damages.

Tyra Talks To Larry
Tyra Banks appeared on Larry King recently as part of her "let's talk about weight tour 2007". She was poised and had some really good answers for Mr. King. Larry of course though (as always) steals the show. Like when speaking about modeling, Larry says "booooooring" out loud. Ya gotta love him.
To view the video, click here
MISS TLC SAYS: I commend Tyra for addressing the weight issue head-on. Sure, people can say she's only striking back because she was embarrassed by the pics that surfaced of her looking fat, but no matter the reason, she's attacking America's obsession with weight.
The Police Will Arrest Once Again

Reunited Police To Kick Off Grammy Awards
Band will open February 11 event, but has not confirmed reunion tour.
By Gil Kaufman
The Police came one step closer to confirming a reunion tour on Tuesday (January 30) when it was announced that the trio will kick off the February 11 Grammy Awards telecast. The group, led by Sting, has reportedly been rehearsing for a summer tour, and their opening slot at the 49th annual awards show seems to confirm that the announcement of the full-fledged reunion is on.
As recently as last week, a spokesperson for the band — which also includes drummer Stewart Copeland and guitarist Andy Summers — would not confirm the tour.
The trio, which won five Grammys in their 1980s prime, join a live performance lineup that already includes Justin Timberlake, Beyoncé, Mary J. Blige, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Gnarls Barkley, Christina Aguilera, Ludacris, John Legend with John Mayer and Corinne Bailey Rae, the Dixie Chicks and Carrie Underwood (see "Aguilera, Blige, Timberlake Solo Performance Added To Grammy Lineup").
New presenters announced Tuesday include Jennifer Hudson, Queen Latifah, Chris Rock, Stevie Wonder, Melissa Etheridge and Joan Baez.
The Police are expected to announce a reunion tour to coincide with a celebration of the 30th anniversary of the release of their first single, "Fall Out." It would be the first major outing by one of the biggest bands of the 1980s since their split in 1984, save for a one-night reunion in 2003 when they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (see "Gwen, Steven Tyler Sing With Police; AC/DC Shake The Waldorf: Kurt Loder Reports From The Rock Hall Induction"), and some charity dates on an Amnesty International tour in 1986.

Rap Producer Takes His Own Life
From SOHH.com...
50 Cent Producer Disco D Commits Suicide
Tuesday - January 23, 2007 by Dick Johnson
SOHH has learned that producer Disco D (born Dave Shayman) committed suicide last night (January 23).
Sources close to the Ann Arbor, MI producer told SOHH that the beatmaker, who has previously produced for 50 Cent ("Ski Mak Way"), Trick Daddy ("I Pop") and Kevin Federline ("Popozao"), has committed suicide. While reports say D was battling manic depression, details regarding his death are still sketchy.
The 27 year old Grammy-nominated producer had also worked with Nina Sky and Pharrell Williams, crafted the original theme song for "VH1's Hip-Hop Honors" and commercials for Sprite, Best Buy and Nickelodeon's Kid's Choice Awards.
He had been working with Lil' Scrappy and Crime Mob among others, as of late. Benny Blanco, who worked with D, confirmed the suicide, but declined to comment.
"We have no comment. We send our deepest condolences," Benny told SOHH.com. "He was loved and will be truly missed."
DJ Vlad, a good friend of D, was shocked upon hearing the news.
"Disco D was a good friend of mine. I lived with him in Brazil for a couple weeks. He was a real artist," Vlad revealed. "I just talked to him a few days ago, and he told me things were hard. I tried to cheer him up. I didn't realize how hard it really was. I'm devastated right now."
# # #
MISS TLC SAYS: This is terribly sad. However, what makes it worse is that he allegedly had been fighting suicidal tendencies for years. Eerily, he mentions in this interview that he had already tried to commit suicide twice before.
Brandy Involved In Fatal Car Crash
From Eonline.com...
Brandy Sets Off Fatal Car Crash
by Gina Serpe
Wed, 24 Jan 2007 12:28:00 PM PST
R&B singer Brandy was involved in a fatal car accident last month, and it appears the songbird may have been at fault.
The smash-up took place at roughly 10:30 a.m. on Dec. 30 and was set off when Brandy's 2007 Land Rover collided with another vehicle, resulting in a deadly four-car pile-up.
According to California Highway Patrol Officer Leland Tang, the former Moesha star, whose full name is Brandy Norwood, was driving in the slow lane of the 405 Freeway in Los Angeles at a speed of 65 mph. The cars in front of her, however, had slowed considerably.
Whether the 28-year-old failed to notice the reduction in speed or whether her Land Rover suffered a malfunction is still being investigated by authorities. Whatever the case may have been, the star crashed into the vehicle in front of her, a 2005 Toyota Corolla, being driven by 38-year-old Los Angeles woman Awatef Aboudihaj.
That crash set off the resulting smashes: Aboudihaj subsequently hit a 1989 Toyota Tercel driven by 82-year-old Donald Lite, a collision that caused Aboudihaj's car to slide sideways, careen into the freeway's center divider and bounce back to a stop in a different lane.
It was at that time, and in that lane, that a fourth car, driven by 50-year-old Mallory Ham, broadsided Aboudihaj's vehicle.
While Ham suffered moderate injuries, Aboudihaj was found in critical condition and quickly taken to the Holy Cross Hospital in nearby Mission Hills, where, per Tang, she was treated for multiple pelvic fractures. She passed away the following evening, with her cause of death listed as major blunt force trauma.
Brandy, who was neither arrested following the incident nor found in possession of drugs or alcohol, today acknowledged the fatal accident and issued a statement through her publicist, Courtney Barnes.
"She wishes to publicly express her condolences to the family of the deceased," Barnes said. "Brandy asks that you respect the privacy of everyone involved at this time."
The California Highway Patrol is currently investigating the incident, first reported by TMZ, and is in the process of performing an evaluation on the singer's vehicle to determine whether any mechanical defects caused or contributed to the accident.
Tang said that upon completion of the tests, the CHP would reevaluate their initial investigation to determine whether there was any negligence on Brandy's part.
# # #
MISS TLC SAYS: I can only imagine what she must be going through. Whether or not Brandy was at fault, it's still quite haunting and traumatic to be involved in an accident where someone dies. My heart goes out to ALL those who were involved. Regardless of how I feel about Ray J., I love Brandy ("Full Moon" is still one of the best R&B albums ever made) and I hope she's able to deal with this situation with grace and strength.

Shonda Speaks
Grey's Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes has finally release an official statement on the Isiah Washington controversy and his continued use of the word 'faggot'. Here is what she said:
Perhaps bowing to mounting pressure, Grey's Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes has uttered her first words regarding Isaiahgate via this just-released statement:
"I speak for all the executive producers here at Grey's Anatomy when I say that Isaiah Washington's use of such a disturbing word was a shocking and dismaying event that insulted not only gays and lesbians everywhere but anyone who has ever struggled for respect in a world that is not always accepting of difference.
We’ve been working within the Grey’s family as well as with ABC and Touchstone Television to address the issue in a way that underscores the gravity of the situation while giving us all a foundation for healing. We applaud and encourage Isaiah's realization that he needs help and his subsequent choice to seek immediate treatment for his behavioral issues.
We appreciate the support the fans have always given our show, particularly during this stressful time. Creatively, we continue to strive to make the best television we can with the hope that our show reflects the talent, hard work and professionalism of our cast and crew."
Look. I think this whole thing is getting a little blown out of proportion at this point. Isiah got into a fight on the set and the word slipped out...supposedly. However, because it is now immortalized in our collective minds due to the fact that he said it out loud in the press room at the Golden Globes (in such a manner that made it look like he thought it was a silly joke), I am starting to see that it is a big deal. What really made me look at it in a different light though was the way that one of the gay activists on TV put it. She said that if the same kind of thing happened with one of the white actors on the show referring to Isiah as an (n-word) in the heat of the moment and THEN had the nerve to use the word again like it was a joke when in front of a room of reporters ["No, I did NOT call Isiah an (n-word)"], there would be OUTRAGE and a lot more hell to pay. Very true. In the end though I think Isiah is going to be allowed to keep his job. We'll see how much protesting is done when that is officially announced.

10. BEYONCE (32,840 units sold)
Once again, it was a slow sales week. It's really so pathetic to see the #1 album sell only in the five figures. Anyway, Chris Daughtry's head must be even bigger than it was before (if that's even possible) since his album has hit the top spot and he's now sold 1.3 million copies of his self-titled LP.
The "Dreamgirls" soundtrack is officially gold (they have now sold 577K in total) and the other soundtrack in the top 10 (for "Jump In!") is right behind "Dreamgirls" at #3.
Corinne Bailey Rae is the big success story of the week. Her CD has been out for 31 weeks now and she just now jumped from #32 to #4 in one week. Last week she sold 21K and this week she sold 55K. That's really big and if she continues at this rate, she'll be platinum in no time (she is now at 872K sold).
Akon, Justin, and Beyonce have been hanging around their respective sites for a while now so it's no big deal. Carrie Underwood jumped from #15 back into the top 10 @ #9. The "American Idol Season 4" winner has now sold 4.8 million copies of her debut. Say what you will about that show but the combined sales of Clay Aiken's debut, Kelly Clarkson's sophomore release, Daughtry's current #1 album, and Carrie's LP alone have totaled at least 14 million albums. Crazy.

America's Funniest Home Videos Pt. 1
Ray J. Ohhhhhh Ray J. If you don't know how I feel about this clown, look at the post below about him and Kim Kardashian's supposed sex tape. If you need further proof, read through this IM conversation between me and my fellow NYC socialite/partner-in-crime Tai Coles from today (and just so you know the screen names have been changed so that you don't all start hounding us with IMs...cuz you know you want to). But please note, this is only my opinion...
MissTLC: so have you watched this snoop ray j "fake" video of them performing 'smoking trees'?
MrTaiColes: Nah
MrTaiColes: Is it good
MissTLC: it's one of the funniest things i've seen in a long time
MissTLC: it just looks like a home movie
MissTLC: which i guess it was
MissTLC: it says "directed by ray j for knockout entertainment" at the end
MissTLC: but real elementary like
MissTLC: so i'm guess they just kinda did it to be funny and fuck around
MissTLC: and clearly ray j. just wants to prove to people that he's really grown and
cool and smokes weed
MissTLC: snoop was probably just so high and having a good time that he didn't realize ray j had a camera set up and was going to "leak" it on the internet or whatever
MissTLC: anyway, i'm gonna post it tonight on misstlc.com
MissTLC: so you can see it then
MrTaiColes: Ok gr8
MrTaiColes: Ray J is such a strange oddity
MrTaiColes: That's what I decided
MrTaiColes: Lol
MissTLC: SUCH an oddity
MissTLC: i mean, that is really only half the story with him
MissTLC: he's soooooooooooo odd
MissTLC: because i find him so unattractive/funny looking
MissTLC: but he's always trying to overcompensate and push the agenda that he's SOOOOOOOO gangsta and sexy and shit
MissTLC: i.e., spreading the rumors that he was banging kim around the 'wait a minute' time
MrTaiColes: I don't think he's really ugly
MissTLC: then the supahead shit
MrTaiColes: He's just a weird guy
MissTLC: which was such a joke
MrTaiColes: And he wants to be soooo famous
MissTLC: because he thought it made him look so cool and gangsta that he was truly banging supahead for a while
MissTLC: but it's like "dog, everyone did except they were all at least all looking at her like the joke she was"
MissTLC: and now the kim shit with the sex tape
MissTLC: and kim's SUCH trash as well
MrTaiColes: LOL
MrTaiColes: LOL
MissTLC: that it's all just soooooo odd
MrTaiColes: Exactly
MrTaiColes: Except Bill Maher
MissTLC: like WHY
MrTaiColes: And he could give a shitless what anyone thought
MissTLC: WHY does ANYONE even give him the time of day
MrTaiColes: Lol
MissTLC: i mean
MissTLC: i know why really
MissTLC: supahead and kim are both just desperate opportunist whores
MissTLC: but ray don't get that
MissTLC: or care really
MissTLC: it's so sad that years ago he was like a regular cute lil r&b boy dating irish from 702
MissTLC: and then i think the whole "ain't that brandy's brother?" thing went to his head
MissTLC: and he was trying to rebel against sonia
MissTLC: and now look
MissTLC: brandy don't even got a deal and SHE'S signed to HIM
MissTLC: craziness i tell ya
So in case you didn't catch the jist of the conversation, a video has started making the rounds on the 'net for the song "Smokin', Smokin' Weed". I honestly don't know what is going on in it. It looks like a bunch of teenage girls dancing in front of a mirror but yet they are dancing in front of a camera instead. It's one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. I really hope they all knew they were being recorded because I wouldn't be surprised if Ray J secretly filmed this footage and then put it out there to advertise just how cool he is smoking weed with Snoop. But Snoop's skinny ass dancing and all of them just looking so happy to be dancing around with weed, beer, and champagne is HIGH-LAIR-E-US.
You can watch it for yourself here.
America's Funniest Home Videos Pt. 2
I honestly can't stop watching this......
MISS TLC SAYS: Brilliant.
In case you are wondering what the hell this is...Estelle Getty supposedly put out an exercise video for senior citizens back in the early 90s. Some genius spliced together a "remix" to the tune of Beyonce's "Check On It", and I honestly think it should be nominated for an MTV VMA this year. :)
Better Luck Next Time Beyonce
Mama & Papa Knowles must have smoke blowing out of their ears right about now. (Remember this? Check the 9th paragraph specifically)
And now comes word that Beyonce was NOT EVEN NOMINATED. Not for Best Actress, not for Best Song (remember she was dropped from the songwriters list for "Listen"), and not for Best Movie either.
Ring the alarm indeed.

The Smell Of Desperation
Tales of the alleged Ray J / Kim Kardashian sex tape can be read about at the following:
TMZ.com
NY Daily News
National Ledger
MISS TLC SAYS: WHYYYYY would anyone EVER (1) want to have sex with a celebrity in the first place and/or (2) let them tape it?????? Ok, I know the obvious. It's these "egocentric-got-nothing-else-better-to-do" idiots that want to have sex with celebs and have it taped so that it will hopefully "leak" (wink, wink) so that they can be propelled from F-list status to D-list in no time! (Yes Kim, I'm talking to you. Just because your Dad had money and had his name all over the news for a few years doesn't make you an automatic star.) I mean, Ray J's no better. He's been chasing his sister's now dim star for years. Tales of him bedding Lil' Kim, Supahead, Kim K, and now Whitney Houston have been circulating for years and I wouldn't be surprised if it's him whispering into the ears of the gossip columnists himself. And even if all those stories are true, they are really nothing to be excited about. I mean Supahead? Seriously. Isn't sleeping with anyone who wanted her what made her famous in the first place? Way to go there Ray! How'd you land that one? And if you don't know who Kim Kardashian is, check this out. She's only 26 and has already publicly dated Ray J, Nick Lachey, Nick Cannon, The Game, been married to and divorced from Underdogs producer Damon Thomas, is on and off best friends with Paris Hilton, and now allegedly has a kinky sex tape making the rounds. Wow. Now that's a real class act. But honestly, Ray/Kim aside (cuz really they are just a sad pair to me), what is so attractive about these people and their soap opera sex lives??? It's one thing to watch people bed-hop on "Melrose Place" or "General Hospital" but in real life; it's not attractive, safe, or enticing. It's gross. Honestly. With the amount of sex tapes in circulation, it's no wonder they all haven't just jumped into one big bed and filmed one together yet. It's pathetic that they are all starving for so much attention in the first place. But do they all attend the same parties and look around the room like "done, done, done, done, wait...did I? yep, done..."? No thanks. Miss TLC will pass on that one.
And for an extra added bonus: a look at Kim Kardashian's illustrious life for those of you who are clueless......
A MISS TLC SARCASTIC COMMENT: Um... lovely. Riiiight.
A MISS TLC SARCASTIC COMMENT: Wow. You look......just like a gaudy tourist who doesn't understand that it's excessively tacky to wear a matching silver lame bathing suit and bag. I don't care that it's Louis Vuitton.
A MISS TLC SARCASTIC COMMENT: Matching bags. How fancy.
A MISS TLC SARCASTIC COMMENT: Oh my. You look just like Charlie's Angels!

So NOBODY'S buying albums huh? Still? I mean y'all couldn't go out and buy something??!?!?!? Lol. Shoot, it's CRA-ZY that the top spot on the charts has only sold 60K copies. You used to be lucky if you hit the top 20 selling that little.
But this is what we are dealing with now in the music industry. And there is an upside. What is that you ask? Well people like Robin Thicke are finally able to climb the charts and see the light of day!!!!!!!!!
Mr. Thicke came in at #16 this week jumping 19 spots from last week and 46 from the week before!!!!!!!!! Granted, he still only sold 31K copies this week BUT he has been starting to pick up buzz...FINALLY. Steve Harvey on the WBLS 107.5FM morning show has been promoting the hell out of him and even had him on the show last week. Then he performed as part of the Hot 97 R&B showcase last Friday at Canal Room AND performed on The Early Show on CBS the next morning. Go Robin! I have a feeling you'll be hitting the top 10 in no time!
Other than that, this chart is kinda boring. Akon, Justin, Beyonce...they've all been there a while. Yawn. (I still love you though Just!)
Foxy Freed Of Charges
From the NY Daily News...
Crazy like a Foxy! Judge goes easy on rap princess
Foxy Brown, sentenced to probation and anger management classes for a fight in a nail salon, left court smiling Wednesday after hearing “an excellent report from probation.”
Brown, 26, said the sentence has been good for her “because probation forces you into structure. It is making me grow up. I have matured a lot since I started the anger management.”
Accompanied by her lawyer, state Sen. John Sampson, Brown, whose real name is Inga Marchand, had a good word for Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Melissa Jackson. The rap princess had several hostile exchanges with Jackson before the judge sentenced her to three years’ probation and anger management classes.
“This is only the first time in two years that I’m pleased with Judge Jackson,” said Brown, wearing a tan plaid skirt and purple blouse, as she climbed into a large sport utility vehicle.
“She got an excellent report from probation.” Sampson said the judge told Brown to return to court March 15.
Jackson sentenced Brown in October after the rapper pleaded guilty in August to misdemeanor assault charges. Brown was accused of kicking one employee and smacking a second in the face on Aug. 29, 2004, in an argument over payment for a manicure at Bloomie Nails in Manhattan’s Chelsea area.
At her last court appearance on Dec. 11, a lawyer for the city Department of Probation accused Brown of “flouting the court-ordered conditions of her probation.” The lawyer, Shawnda Weinberg, said Brown was asking for special treatment.
Weinberg suggested to Jackson that Brown might benefit from time in jail, but the judge let the rapper go with a warning to follow probation officials’ orders.

Lindsay Finally Admits (Herself)
From Yahoo...
Lindsay Lohan Checks Into Rehab
Wednesday January 17 7:29 PM ET
Lindsay Lohan has checked into rehab.
"I have made a proactive decision to take care of my personal health. I appreciate your well wishes and ask that you please respect my privacy at this time," said the 20-year-old actress in a statement issued Wednesday through her publicist, Leslie Sloane Zelnick.
Us Weekly reports that Lohan entered the posh Wonderland Center in Los Angeles at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, arriving in a sports utility vehicle and clutching a Jamba Juice.
Zelnick confirmed to The Associated Press in December that Lohan was attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.
Lohan told People magazine then that she had been going to the meetings for a year.
"I haven't had a drink in seven days. Or anything," she said to People. "I'm not even legal to, so why would I? I don't drink when I go to clubs. I drink with my friends at home, but there's no need to. I feel better not drinking. It's more fun. I have Red Bull."
Last July, Lohan was treated for several hours at a Los Angeles area hospital for overheating and dehydration on the set of "Georgia Rule."
The actress, whose other screen credits include "Mean Girls," "Bobby," "A Prairie Home Companion" and "Freaky Friday," recently had surgery to remove her appendix.

The results of the latest The Wonderful World Of Miss TLC Poll are in.........
...and Jay-Z and Akon tied! Interesting. ESPECIALLY because both albums are so different.
Practically NOBODY cared about Young Jeezy (sorry Tai!).
The Game came in second place and I totally think he deserved that.
Me personally? I think Nas and The Game should've been up top. Jay's always got some hot stuff and so does Snoop but I like the full "albums" from Nas and The Game better.

Starbucks Continues To Evolve
Starbucks to drop milk with hormones
Wed Jan 17, 5:27 PM ET
SEATTLE - Starbucks Coffee Co. is ending its use of milk products that contain an artificial growth hormone, starting in much of the West and New England. Less than a month after announcing that the chain would stop selling items with trans fats in half its U.S. stores, Starbucks said Tuesday it had begun buying only milk products without bovine growth hormone in those areas.
Starbucks has not raised prices and is working with suppliers on the cost of milk, half and half, whipping cream and eggnog, spokeswoman Sanja Gould told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
Starbucks has 5,668 stores in the United States, but the number affected by the change was not immediately available. It covers company-owned Starbucks outlets in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Alaska, Montana, Northern California and New England.
Earlier this month Starbucks announced plans to stop selling food containing trans fats at half the company's U.S. outlets.
You can read the rest here.
MISS TLC SAYS: First they vow to drop trans fats, and now this? I knew I loved Starbucks for a reason! :)

Say It With Pictures - GOLDEN GLOBE 2007 EDITION
Some say a picture's worth a thousand words. Once again, I can pretty much sum these up in less than 20.
WHO: Eddie Murphy and his "current girlfriend" Tracey Edmunds.
MISS TLC SAYS: Tracey - I saw you cheering when Eddie won. You still gonna cheer when Mel B. announces her baby's paternity? ;)
WHO: Cameron "Desperate" Diaz and Leonardo DiCaprio (former co-stars)
MISS TLC SAYS: Trying to make Justin jealous? Peep Cammie's hand pulling Leo close while Leo clenches his fingers to avoid touching her.
WHO: Terrance Howard and his date.
MISS TLC SAYS: Holy beejezus! Is this chick's forehead trying to give Tyra and Brandy a run for their money or what???
WHO: Beyonce.
MISS TLC SAYS: Nuh-uh baby girl. That is NOT how you pose on a red carpet...EVER. Who are you, Trina?
Whit-J
In response to the recent rumors that Whitney Houston and Ray J (yes, Brandy's little brother) are dating....
Um...Miss TLC's take is that they are just recording music together and might be spending time doing dinner or drinks after recording sessions to unwind. After all, Ray J's sex tape with ex Kim Kardashian is about to hit the 'net (supposedly) and Whitney's ex Mr. Brown was supposedly laid up in the crib with the disgustingly infamous Supahead for a while (who was Ray J's ex by the way...hmm...coincidence?), so they both got a lot of drama to talk about. Also, Whitney did that Cinderella-ish movie with Brandy back in the day so the relationship with the fam has always been there. That's all I'm gonna believe for now.
To listen to something Whitney and Ray J have recorded, click here.
...Yeah, hopefully these two ain't dating cuz their union doesn't seem too magical. :)
The Miss TLC Golden Globe Recap
I thought the Golden Globes were pretty darn good this year. I mean, they are usually my favorite award show anyway because they keep the stars liquored up and relaxed during the telecast which generally leads to some funny speeches and interaction. This year was no different. Jack Nicholson sat in his usual "king of the castle" perch right up front raising his eyebrows and pointing at practically everyone onstage throughout the night. His daughter also served as the "I hand out the awards and show people where to exit the stage" chick this year so he was serving double duty making sure people didn't grope her or anything.
In order to streamline my comments and not go on forever, I've compiled a few of the moments that stood out in my mind as funny, interesting, memorable, or just plain strange:
Beauty School Dropout
Another Thorn in Miss USA's Crown
by Gina Serpe
Tue, 16 Jan 2007 10:06:00 AM PST
Another one bites the dust.
Miss New Jersey USA Ashley Harder has resigned from presiding over ribbon-cutting ceremonies and other world-saving photo-ops to focus on a more challenging matter: motherhood.
The 20-year-old beauty queen has announced that she was expecting her first child with her 28-year-old boyfriend, snowboard entrepreneur Gregg D'Antonio.
"I was so excited I wanted to tell the world," she told the Philadelphia Inquirer. "It was so difficult for me to keep quiet."
Harder, who is nearly three months pregnant, said that she informed the Miss USA organizers right away of her bun-in-the-oven status so that they could prep New Jersey runner-up Erin Abrahamson for the Mar. 23 national pageant.
While Harder told the newspaper that she quit the pageant—as opposed to being fired—she didn't exactly have much of a choice. Competitors are forbidden from being pregnant, married or already a parent.
"Life happens," she told the Inquirer. "Initially, I was a tiny bit disappointed, I wouldn't be competing. But there was no comparing the two: Miss USA or a baby, a baby that had been sent to me by God."
Besides, she could always make a go of Mrs. USA.
Harder said she and D'Antonio already had plans in the works to tie the knot, although no date has been set.
The announcement makes Harder the third Miss USA player to hit the headlines in recent months.
To the chagrin of Rosie O'Donnell, pageant overlord Donald Trump decided to allow reigning Miss USA tiara-holder Tara Conner to keep her sash despite rampant reports that she had engaged in underage drinking, drug use and sexual behavior unbecoming a pageant winner. After conferring with an apologetic Conner, Trump announced she would go to rehab and keep her crown.
But the Donald apparently exhausted his supply of magnanimity. Days after rendering his decision on Conner, he declined to give Miss Nevada Katie Rees the same second chance.
Rees was stripped of her title after appearing stripped of her clothes in sexually explicit party photos, which quickly made the Internet rounds.
Don't cry for Rees, however. Last week, she signed a $2 million deal with Hard Rock Hotel & Casino's Beacher's Madhouse in Las Vegas, agreeing to host an "estrogen-heavy" variety show.

MISS TLC SAYS: Ugh. What is up with these girls?!?!?!? Underage drinking, dabbling in drugs, hooking up with random men, taking topless photos, getting knocked up w/o being married...I mean, they sound like regular young American girls. Lol. Seriously though, it's not a laughing matter when the youth of our country have no one to look up to anymore. People like Britney and Lindsay OBVIOUSLY do not send a proper message, so you would hope that pageant queens would at least uphold some sense of decorum. Nope. Now they are acting just like regular ole' messy Myspace chicks as well. So embarrassing.

Get To Know Lloyd
If you like R&B singer Lloyd, you'll love this. (What up Kiki!)
AOL Music has a feature running right now on the young boy signed to The Inc. (Irv Gotti's new label, formerly known as Murder Inc.). Currently blowing up the radio with his smash single, "You", Lloyd's sophomore album Street Love is set to be released in March.
In order to give you a chance to sample some of the other material from the album, and to re-acquaint you with the popular single (as well as the subsequent remix), AOL has posted 4 Lloyd tracks in one place. The slow and sexy ballad "My Valentine" has a throw-back Michael Jackson feel and it's hard to believe that Lloyd wrote this one when he was only 15 years old. I have honestly listened to it already about 25 times. Such a perfect song for just laying in your bed with your boo relaxing......or doing other things. :) The other previously unreleased track is "My Shawty". Produced by Usher's lil brother, J-Lack, the beat on this one is spacey and Neptunes-ish (in other words, hot). The lyrics are sexy and the beat definitely makes you wanna dance. Um...am I a Lloyd fan all of a sudden? :)

Coming Soon: Miss TLC Timberlake
From TMZ.com...
Justin and Cameron: Officially Ovah!
Posted Jan 11th 2007 5:14PM by TMZ Staff
Filed under: Break-Ups
Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz have finally confirmed the rumors of their breakup. Brace yourselves.
The former couple issued a joint statement on Thursday saying, "It has always been our preference not to comment on the status of our relationship, but, out of respect for the time we've spent together, we feel compelled to do so now, in light of recent speculation and the number of inaccurate stories that are being reported by the media. We have, in fact, ended our romantic relationship and have done so mutually and as friends, with continued love and respect for one another." And that's that!
Diaz and Timberlake started dating in 2003 and co-star in the upcoming animated sequel, "Shrek the Third."

MISS TLC SAYS: Perhaps he really gave her a dick in a box for Christmas? No seriously, hallelujah!!! Justin, call me! (Poor Brit - she probably thinks she now has a chance.)
I Might Love New York After All
Ok, I swore to myself that I wasn't going to watch VH-1's new "Flavor Of Love" spin-off, "I Love New York". But seriously though, who was I kidding? I caught it in pieces over the weekend and I must say, this ish will definitely amuse me for the next couple of months. Granted, Tiffany (a/k/a New York) is clearly crazy and QUITE an overacter. Her mother is even worse. I don't blame them. They clearly want to become actresses and figure this is the way to go about it. I know that most of this stuff is staged, and most of the contestants are just opportunists, but I still can't help but get sucked in to the drama.
Here were some of my favorite moments:
* When New York explained how her heart was broken not once, but twice by Flavor Flav. Her expressions and overexaggerated slow talking while explaining her hurt was terribly hilarious.
* When the clearly gay man cried hysterically about his dog dying in the accident. He claimed he now wants to treat New York in the same manner.
* When New York listed the reasons why she really liked Chance, the thug, and said "he drinks a lot...which I obviously like". Way to go with that "I love alcoholics" membership Tiff.
* When Chance flipped out over Boston telling him he needed Ritalin and he goes off and says "I need Ritalin??? I need Ritalin??? Wait,what is Ritalin?".
For your additional viewing pleasure, here's a clip of New York making an appearance this week on "The Jimmy Kimmel Show":
MISS TLC SAYS: Is she SERIOUS with those breast implants?!?!?!?! Yikes.
Poor Brian Williams
Anchorwoman Sue Simmons chose to blow up Brian's spot on being boring during a clip which you can view through Best Week Ever's blog here.
MISS TLC SAYS: I mean, Williams does have a pretty monotone tiring voice but this all just seems pretty ballsy and odd to me. Sue's a bit gangsta I guess.
SHUT UP TRUMP!!!
From TMZ.com...
Hey Donald -- Where'd YOU Learn to Count?
Posted Jan 11th 2007 6:30PM by TMZ Staff
Filed under: Celebrity Feuds
Call it the "Art of the Spin."
Donald Trump granted an "exclusive" interview to the "Today" show this morning with the express purpose of refuting Rosie's gleeful assertion from Wednesday -- namely, that the debut episode of this season's "The Apprentice" had "tanked" in the ratings. The only problem was, it did tank. It was third in the 10-11 PM slot, well behind "Desperate Housewives" and "Cold Case."
In his inimitably self-satisfied way, Trump told "Today's" Natalie Morales that his show was "the most successful show in the last 14 months in its timeslot." Uh, what? Actually, it wasn't even the most successful show that NBC has run in the 9:30-11:00 PM timeslot since October 2005. Its 5.5 household rating can't match that of "Crossing Jordan" and "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," the two other shows that have recently run in that slot.
Of course, the Donald was saying all this on NBC, which, of course, just happens to air "The Apprentice." Hmm.

MISS TLC SAYS: I am a firm believer in self-promotion but Trump has obviously been waaaaaaaay over the top for years. How do people actually tolerate him on the day to day? I mean does he roll off of Melania after sex and proclaim "that was the best sex EVER in the world...because of me of course"? Seriously. Modesty is attractive Donald.

One Of My All-Time Favorite Couples
Clarence Worley and Alabama Whitman from "True Romance" circa 1993 (SO INTENSE)
MISS TLC SAYS: The phone booth scene alone...yep...I'm aiming for that kind of intensity every day of my life. :)
Rosie + Babs Kiss & Make Up

O'Donnell, Walters Squash Feud, Trump
by Gina Serpe
It was one more—and supposedly final—time into the breach for Rosie O'Donnell and Barbara Walters.
The View cohosts addressed their seemingly never-ending feud with Donald Trump on the air Wednesday morning before giving what they promise to be (our fingers are crossed) their last, albeit cutting, word on the topic.
"That poor, pathetic man," Walters said at the start of the show, prompting O'Donnell to issue a round of high-fives to her tablemates. "He just can't let go. But we're moving on."
Though not without one final remark.
"The man is obsessed with me, and I'm happy to say, his show tanked," O'Donnell said.
Of course, Trump wasn't content to let the ladies have the final word on the subject and shortly after the show issued a retaliatory statement of his own.
"Barbara Walters has taken the low road for the sake of her show rather than the sake of her morality," he said. "She lied with Star Jones and now she has chosen to lie again."
"Barbara has become a sad figurehead dominated by a third-rate comedian...Rosie just pushed her out like a ('pathetic') puppet."
To read the rest, click here.
MISS TLC SAYS: Trump's comments are funny as hell but he seriously is worse than an 8-year old. Rosie and Barbara aren't any better but at least they aren't resorting to such personal nonsense. Hopefully, they ain't lying when they say that this ish is over.

The Nas Review
I know it's late but I was on vacation from Dec. 21st through Jan. 2nd so I just got back to posting last Tuesday and then I had a ton of work to catch up on at my other jobs. Anyhoo, I'm back in business bitches so back down. :) (So yeah, yeah, yeah, I coulda got to this review last week then but stop ya whining, I'm getting to it now.)
Nas doesn't do that many solo shows (especially at small-ish theaters like Nokia) so I knew I needed tickets as soon as this one was announced. Being that his new album, "Hip Hop Is Dead", was going to be released the week of the show, I expected him to really just focus on performing the new stuff. I've been to enough concerts in my day to know that artists are not always in the mood to do their hits or their old stuff so I wasn't holding out for "The World Is Yours".
Another concern of mine was that Nas isn't......how shall I say this......charismatic. You know the deal. He basically stands in one place ice-grilling the camera whenever he films a video and he's not exactly known for being "happy", "excited", or a "good dancer". Hahaha. Granted, you don't want that kind of behavior from all rappers. Some people need to dance and jump around to keep you interested. And some people are just born to perform live. Some people keep you hype off their sheer energy (Busta), some people keep you hype off their metaphors and delivery (Hov), and some people keep you hype off both (Common). As far as Nas goes, I love, love, love his voice, his intelligent wordiness, and one of my favorite albums of all time - "Illmatic". I just wasn't sure his "performance element" was up to par. However, I was not going to let that deter me from attending this show. Honestly, Nas could've sat down on the stage and recited the new album in one place and I wouldn't have been mad at him (in reality, I've seen him do something like that before back in his 'Nastradamus' days when I peeped him at one of Hot 97's Summer Jams).
But Nas did his T-H-I-N-G. The DJ began to play the sound bed for "Black Republican" and my chest began to pound while the crowd all around me went wild. I'm not gonna front. I know a lot of those people (especially the girls) were really going buc because they were half-expecting Mr. Carter to come running out alongside his former enemy Mr. Jones. But no, Jay gave Nas room to shine on his own and shine he did. The man-born-as-Nasir ran out looking fly as hell in a colorful leather jacket, thick-ass gold chain equipped with a gigantic King Tut piece, jeans, and fresh white kicks. Alone on stage except for the DJ, Nas bounced, spit, and worked the stage with the energy of a new artist. Do not get it twisted that this boy has been doing this for over 13 years. He looked eager, was lovin the crowd, and quickly ran through soooooooo much of his voluminous catalog.
Oh yes. Nas did it all. From the new album, he rocked "Black Republican", "Hustlers", "Can't Forget About You" (on which labelmate Chrissette Michelle came out to sing the hook as she does on the album), and the title track. So if he didn't focus on the new album, what else did he do? I thought you'd never ask. Off the top of my head (it was a long time ago and I didn't take notes like I usually do because I was having too much fun), I remember the following:
* N.Y. State Of Mind (from "Illmatic")
* Represent (from "Illmatic")
* One Love (from "Illmatic")
* One Time 4 Your Mind (from "Illmatic")
* It Ain't Hard To Tell (from "Illmatic")
* The World Is Yours (from "Illmatic")
* Hate Me Now (from "I Am")
* Nastradamus (from "Nastradamus")
* If I Ruled The World (from "It Was Written")
* Rewind (from "Stillmatic")
* Nas Is Like (from "I Am")
* One Mic (from "Stillmatic")
* Street Dreams (from "It Was Written")
* You're Da Man (from "Stillmatic")
* Got Ur Self A... (from "Stillmatic")
* Made You Look (from "God's Son")
* Oochie Wally (from "QB Finest")
* Affirmative Action (from "It Was Written")
Yes indeed. The crowd went berserk when Cormega came onstage to hug Nas (whereby publicly deading their beef) before breaking into "Affirmative Action". It wasn't long before you heard Foxy yelling "The Firm!" from backstage and then running out full of energy in a cute black dress and heels. Granted, the girl's got problems...tons of 'em actually...but she still got passion for her craft and the crowd thoroughly shows her love. It was definitely a moment to see her and Nas back rocking a stage together.
Besides that, I was floored by the "Illmatic" shit. I really would never get my hopes up and expect something like that before the show so for him to surprise me with not one song from his debut, but 2, then 3, then 4, then half the album, I was in heaven.
As far as Nas' demeanor, it was on a positive 150% all night. He looked truly excited to perform all of his hits while the crowd rhymed alongside him and rocked to everything he did. He asked the crowd to yell out what they wanted to hear before giving us a little bit of "Live At The BBQ" and some cuts from "The Lost Tapes". Naturally people yelled for "Ether" but Nas calmly explained that while he appreciates everyone's intense love for that song, he is just not in that place anymore and is trying to build rather than destroy his relationships at this point in his life. Nas even shouted out love for all his latino, black, and white fans in the crowd separately. YES, NAS SAID HE EVEN HAD LOVE FOR THE WHITE PEOPLE. Man, was that a moment. LOL. You can tell Kelis is making this boy happy. :)
In the end, I left with even more respect for the Street's Disciple. Thankfully, Nas didn't compromise his artistic integrity and start breaking out into some choreographed moves, or worse - have dancers run out so that they could all perform "You Owe Me" together. But either way, he put it down large. I was like "Hey Nas". Oh yes ladies, he could get it. LOL.
And now, for your viewing pleasure, I've compiled some clips of key moments from the show. Granted, it's not the same as being there, and they aren't the best quality, but it's something. You can at least get an idea of Nas' hypeness, his outfits (yes he changed from the leather into some other getups more my style - a khaki jacket and hat - and then again when he took his jacket off and just rocked a black tee and diamond 'Nas' chain), and his upbeat delivery.
"Made You Look"
"N.Y. State Of Mind"
"One Mic, Pt. 1"
"One Mic, Pt. 2"
"Affirmative Action"
My favorite moment? That's easy. When Nas came out rocking the khaki (the leather looked fly but it's just not my thing) and I heard the beat start from "N.Y. State Of Mind" (my all-time favorite Nas track). Maaaaaan, I had tears of excitement and joy in my eyes.

However, I MUST Comment About This One
MISS TLC SAYS: That is what poor, little lost Mimi wore to Oprah's South African school for girls opening. It was nice of her to attend such a giving event but c'mon girl. Way to keep it classy. The really sad part is that I'm sure she specifically picked the safari print because she was in South Africa. Ridiculous.
Chart Chat
The top 10 albums on this week's chart......
1. OMARION "21" (119,392 units sold)
2. AKON "KONVICTED" (112,275 units sold)
3. DREAMGIRLS "SOUNDTRACK" (104,366 units sold)
4. NAS "HIP HOP IS DEAD" (101,103 units sold)
5. YOUNG JEEZY "INSPIRATION: THUG MOTIVATION" (91,774 units sold)
6. VARIOUS "NOW 23" (89,174 units sold)
7. EMINEM "EMINEM PRESENTS: RE-UP" (83,951 units sold)
8. JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE "FUTURESEX/LOVE SOUNDS" (82,669 units sold)
9. CIARA "EVOLUTION" (79,050 units sold)
10. HANNAH MONTANA "SOUNDTRACK" (77,794 units sold)
This was a low sales week. I'm not too upset about that because it was the end of the year and that usually happens.
Omarion should be happy there weren't any big sellers this week though because it allowed him to score the #1 spot. He CLEARLY wouldn't have gotten that spot if it was a few weeks ago and there were still big boys up top. All that said, he didn't do well at all. His peer, contemporary, and sometimes friend Bow Wow debuted with more than double that a few weeks ago. I do love "Icebox" though. Oh well.
Akon made a HUGE jump back up the chart (he was at #10 this week) so I guess that's attributed to his two back-to-back singles scoring major play on radio stations across the country. This release started slower than I expected but it definitely seems to be picking up steam now (and is already platinum-plus). I have a feeling he will be chilling on the top of the charts for a while.
The Dreamgirls Soundtrack makes perfect sense because the movie was just released and is doing pretty well.
A big congrats goes out to Nas who didn't suffer that much of a drop in his second week of the charts. He only dropped three spots and now he's gone gold.
Other than that, I don't have much to say about this top 10. I'm surprised Eminem's still so high up for a compilation album, I'm not surprised about Hannah Montana, Ciara's album still sucks, and I still love Justin.
In "not in the top 10" news, Robin Thicke is getting up there. I couldn't be more excited. He was loitering around the 100 mark since his release a few months ago and then he slowly started moving up to the 90s and then 80s. Alas, this week he's in the 60s!!!!!! His "The Evolution of Robin Thicke" album has now sold around 250K units. Let's push this thing to gold status (500K) at least people. He deserves it. The album's sexy, hot, and a necessary component of anyone's collection.

Pamela Needs A Lifesaver (Where's 'The Hoff' When You Need Him?)
First it was Brit playing the "I'm a Mom who doesn't wear drawers and passes out in clubs after announcing my impending divorce" role and now Pamela Anderson is following suit.
Granted, Pamela NEVER had a squeaky-clean image to begin with (sex on a boat anyone?) but this is just ridiculousness to the umpteenth degree now. I mean, when Kid Rock of all people calls YOU the party animal whore, you KNOW you're in a bad way. First there was her appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel show while a drunken mess and now she throws a party in Vegas on New Year's Eve and proceeds to hang all over Usher and several B-list celebs...... 
......not cute Pammy. For one, you are way too old to be acting so sloppy drunk in public. Two, you have kids at home...and they are old enough to know what you are doing...and they are boys. Three, you hardcore tongue-kiss Kanye West in a music video and then proceed to bite on Usher's ear in front of his girlfriend (yes, Tameka Foster was at this party too) and actually think that these friends like you? You're nothing but a jump-off to them. Between those two "most annoying cocky personalities in music" treating you like a prop and then Borat (a fake tacky, tactless, Kazahkstani reporter) doing the same, you are deep in it girlfriend. Fix yourself up before David Hasselhoff starts looking like the most valuable "Baywatch" alum.
It Should Be Illegal...
...that Justin looks this hot in his upcoming movie, "Alpha Dog":
In case you didn't know, "Alpha Dog" is a drama based on the life of Jesse James Hollywood, a drug dealer who became one of the youngest men ever to be on the FBI's most wanted list.
Here's the trailer (and it's much better and more explanatory than the one currently airing on TV)...
"Alpha Dog" will be released on January 12, 2007.
Say It With Pictures
Some say a picture's worth a thousand words. Once again, I can pretty much sum these up in less than 20.
WHAT: Rihanna performing at last weekend's Sun Bowl
MISS TLC SAYS: I knew it was only a matter of time until Rihanna just started f*cking onstage. ;)
WHAT: Britney Spears at her New Year's Eve party in Miami (supposedly right before she passed out)
MISS TLC SAYS: I know she's a mess but the whites of her eyes are practically glowing and were obviously exaggerated here.
WHAT: Nick Cannon, Lindsay Lohan, and Jacob the Jeweler at Prive in Miami this past weekend
MISS TLC SAYS: No, no, and no!
WHAT: Shannen Doherty visting "Last Call With Carson Daly"
MISS TLC SAYS: She's laughing at how weird you look now Carson. Seriously, what happened to you?
WHAT: Ciara on the cover of the February 2007 Vibe
MISS TLC SAYS: I love Cici but even I know, that ain't her ass. And it ain't her breasts either. Photoshop anyone?
Vanessa "F*cked" Up
Some of you:
(a) may have watched the MTV New Year's Eve special this past weekend and saw Vanessa Minnillo acting crazy with your own eyes
OR
(b) may have heard about Vanessa acting crazy and say "fuckin" on the air
OR
(c) may have heard the rumor that Vanessa was subsequently fired because of her on-air antics
OR
(d) all of the above.
So because Miss TLC loves you all dearly, I am hereby posting the "fuckin" clip in question for your viewing pleasure. Look, it was New Year's Eve so I understand if she was drunk and acting a lil nuts. However, if it is your job to be on-air, and MTV's main audience is full of impressionable teens, maybe you should leave the hardcore partying until after you are done taping. I'm just sayin.

SEXY NEW YEAR!!!
Yes, yes, I know. It's supposed to be "happy" new year but it's also important to be sexy so let Miss TLC be the one to wish you good cheer a little differently for 2007.
I hope you like the new pic I added above to greet you every time you visit this site. It's something I just whipped up including pics of most of my favorite things. This way, you can relate to my gangsta a little easier. It's all Juicy Couture, Starbucks, NYC, Victoria's Secret and Veuve Cliquot for me. :)
Anyway, I'll be back to my regular posting tomorrow so until then......
Stay Sexy,
~ Miss TLC
