Obligatory Usher & Tameka Gossip

Obligatory Usher & Tameka Gossip

Valencia Foster, Tameka Foster’s half sister, is dishing the dirt about her past to the National Enquirer.
Usher’s new bride, Tameka Foster, has a shocking criminal past that she has kept secret from the R&B singer, The Enquirer learned.

Tameka is an ex-con whose first lover was gunned down in a drug-related execution-style shooting.

“Poor Usher has no idea who he’s marrying,” Temeka’s half sister Valencia Foster told The Enquirer. “He’s a wonderful guy- but Tameka is giving him a big-time snow job.”

The scene for deception was set at a “getting to know the in-laws” dinner in Tameka’s hometown of Oakland, Calif., on July 7 as the couple finalized plans for a July 28 wedding.

Valencia, 49, explained that Usher led a prayer before dinner, then turned to her and said: “’You know all the family secrets- tell me about them.’ Before I could say a word, Tameka kicked me so hard under the table she almost put a hole in my leg,” Valencia said.

“Then she pulled me aside and whispered: ‘Don’t tell him anything.’”

Tameka, fleeing from a troubled home life, moved in with Valencia when she was 11. “She arrived with $14 in food stamps in her purse,” recalled Valencia. “She turned out to be a nightmare. (continue)

Court Records show that Tameka has been arrested twice. In 1991, she served 20 days in the Los Angeles County Jail for petty theft and was placed on probation for two years. Records indicate she had previously served jail time.

We all have done things in the past that we aren’t necessarily proud of so I’m not going to judge Tameka. Don’t get me wrong, I still think she consulted with Mama Tina for a custom crafted roots box, but if someone looked at your life under a microscope they are bound to find something.

Besides, you know ol’ girl sold that story to the tabloids to buy her kids some new school clothes.

Hey Maurice, don’t be mad ’cause Verdine is styling on you! Photogs caught up with the Earth, Wind, and Fire members at Mr. Chows in Beverly Hills last night. Mr. Maurice is obviously not accustomed to the glare from the razzi’s cameras but Verdine seems to be comfortable with the shutterbugs snapping his beautiful mug.

I’d smash. Although you could probably fry an entire bag of Ore-Ida french fries using the oil from his face.

You Two Cents Required: One Hot Ghetto Mess

You Two Cents Required: One Hot Ghetto Mess

On Wednesday night my Mama called me cackling, asking me if I were watching BET’s ‘We Got To Do Better’, to which I responded “Girl stop!”

‘To Catch A Predator’ > Anything on BET

Last night my boyfriend talked me into watching the first 5 minutes of the show and I damn near fell asleep. The reviews haven’t been so great either.

While there were examples of trifling behavior and crazy antics, for the most part, the show seemed like a reject reel from “America’s Funniest Videos.”

Certainly, there are some camps breathing a sigh of relief: The show was roundly criticized even before it made its debut by some who feared it was yet another BET show that would degrade black people by presenting offensive stereotypes as comedy.

Given BET’s track record, those critics had reason to worry. After all, the Black Entertainment Network has provided a seemingly endless platform for hip-hop thuggery, booty-shaking video girls, lowbrow comedy shows, and Toccara. . .

Instead, the show offered lame video clips that circulated on sites like YouTube months ago, and commercials that wouldn’t pass the cable-access test. To make clear the show wasn’t trying to pick on black folk, there were also plenty of white faces, as in a clip of a redneck Olympics-style event.

The show was racially balanced — and equally unfunny — on all levels. (source)

Did you think the show lived up to all of the hype surrounding it?

LEND YOUR SUPPORT TO AN EXECUTIVE PRESIDENTIAL PARDON FOR THE LEGENDARY RON ISLEY AKA MR. BIGGS.

Join Def Jam today in helping to spread the word for the pardon of legendary American musician Ronald Isley. As a member of The Isley Brothers, Ronald Isley’s career spans over 50 years, with countless accomplishments and a legacy of uniquely American music that has influenced everyone from the Beatles to Notorious B.I.G.

In an effort to protect Mr. Isley from incarceration for non-payment of taxes, we urge his fans to call, fax or email the White House immediately to help Ronald stay out of prison. The situation is especially urgent because Mr. Isley is currently scheduled to report to begin serving a 3 year sentence on August 7th of this year.

In lieu of the recent charges brought against Mr. Isley, he is currently in the process of a total restitution of his financial obligations to the IRS. Mr. Isley has also offered to perform for troops at various military bases to help heal the country and show his support for their tireless efforts to protect this country. It is important to point out that Ronald Isley has no prior criminal record, and has been a law-abiding, taxpaying employer since 1956. There is also concern that due to a variety of health issues, (Mr. Isley suffered a stroke in 2004 and was diagnosed with kidney cancer in 2006) without proper care Mr. Isley’s health could decline further and there is genuine concern as to whether he could survive a lengthy incarceration.

Look, I’m sorry that Mr. Biggs has health issues and all that geriatric shit but maybe he should’ve thought about that before he decided not to pay his taxes for 20+ years. That sounds like a personal problem.

Furthermore, why did it take so long for this little Free Mr. Clark [1] movement to begin? If I were in his shoes I would’ve had my ass down at the Elks Lounge every weekend campaigning for freedom after I discovered I would be going to the clink. Yup, picture me posted up in VIP making it rain with Geritol and Viagra while simultaneously drenching my mate with vanilla Ensure. But that’s just me.

[1] I watch Lean On Me twice a week. It keeps me spiritual grounded.
