Gabby Sidibe’s Mom Wants To Compete On America’s Got Talent

Gabby Sidibe’s mother will take her joyful subway noise to the next plateau when she auditions for America’s Got Talent on March 20th. The playing field has now been leveled and it’s Alice Tan Ridley’s turn at bat. We are all precious.

“Look, I would not be entering the competition if I did not think I could do well. Singing is what I do and I know I can do this…I haven’t told Gabby yet but I’m sure she will support me just like I support her as a performer,” Alice told one website.

This is just what primetime television needs, raw talent and titties drenched in sweat. Aretha can’t be 10 places at one time you know.

GET ON ALL FOURS.

Mariah.
Janet.
Buffie.

Although these divas are close to getting their AARP card, they are none the less still trying to adhere to young men and some women (I see you Da Brat) inane fantasies of being scantily clad sex objects and displaying their (natural?) goodies.

The video above shows Buffie the Bawdy showing you kids how to get your body in shape for the upcoming cookouts, family reunions, and hot summer nights in sweaty black clubs. I guess no one wants to follow the Omari West workout plan anymore . . .

Gabby Sidibe’s Mama Is Collecting Her Coins . . . Literally

Alice Tan Ridley is not depending on the success of daughter’s Gabby Sidibe to put hog maws on her table. For 18 years the former nursery school teacher and Department of Education teacher’s aide has been performing up to three times a week in New York City’s busiest subway. That’s better than what Cheri Dennis doing right about now.

“For a while, I was teaching and doing the singing, burning the candle at both ends to support my family,” Ridley said.

She eventually made subway singing a full-time job.

“When I come home at the end of the day, I have enough to pay my bills and feed my kids,” she said.

“People always say, ‘Why don’t you sing in clubs?’ I tell ‘em, ‘This is my club.’ ”

Ridley does perform at private events and has traveled to Chile, Argentina and Germany with her golden pipes. But her usual stages are in the 14th Street/Union Square, 34th Street/Sixth Avenue and Times Square/Eighth Avenue stations.

In recent weeks, she has had to cut her three-hour performances to an hour and a half.

“My voice is so big that it’s blown out my amp, so I can’t do more than that until I can afford a new amp,” said Ridley, whose next gig is today at 4:30 p.m. at 34th Street. [source]

Watch her blow after the jump!

A Check Is A Check: Elise Neal

elise A Check Is A Check: Elise Neal

Did Will and Jada put roots on the cast of All Of Us?

The House of Scientology is nothing to play with. Let’s see. Duane Martin is keeping his name afloat in Hollywood by defending his sister-in-law’s hoe shit, LisaRaye is three ATM withdrawals  from becoming Diamond in real life [see Fantasia's pizza story on Oprah], and the last time I saw little Khamani Griffin was in Lil’ Kim’s  “Download” video.

And now this. Yup, sounds like dirty rice magic to me.

This month, ‘My Manny’ starring ‘Hustle & Flow’ actress Elise Neal and ‘ER’ actor Sharif Atkins is returning for a third installment to TBS.

The sitcom is called a micro-series because it will air within commercial time during Tyler Perry’s ‘Meet the Browns,’ every Wednesday evening for five consecutive weeks. This new type of programming is the network’s way of retaining viewers during commercial breaks and integrating a brand through a natural story line.

‘My Manny’ follows Jennifer, played by Neal, as a widow and successful caterer, who hires Mike the Manny (a male nanny) to care for her 8 year-old son, and ends up falling for him.

This time around, Disney Parks is on board as the show’s exclusive sponsor and the episodes follow the family as they on vacation to The Magic Kingdom and Epcot. [source]

I don’t even want to know what Tony Rock and Lovita Alize Jenkins is up to.

No shade. Mike Tyson floated like a butterfly earlier this week  on Italy’s [a check . . . ] Dancing With The Stars. During the competition he swept his partner Elena Coniglio off her feet and jokingly waving his fist. I doubt that Robin Givens would find that shit funny though.

Lil’ Mo’s CareerBuilder.com Commercial

Before you press play please join me in putting roots on The IPS for bringing this fuckery into the light.

With a barn yard full of children with unfortunate names [Goddis'love will never have a government job] Lil’ Mo is trying to get paid by any means necessary. Fuck what you’ve heard, feed is not cheap. Birthday parties, baby showers, funerals, it doesn’t matter. If you’re paying she’s there. Vurrify yourself and hire a bitch!

Own A Piece of History, Buy Some of Kim Zoliack’s Used Shit

kim zo Own A Piece of History, Buy Some of Kim Zoliacks Used Shit

Kim Zoliack is above and beyond renting space in the swap meet across from the vendor who sells both Free Gucci Mane t-shirts and knock off Gucci hand bags, thank you. With recession friendly prices ranging from $1000-$6500 you too can walk the tightrope between the good life and poverty by owning one of Kim’s gently worn designer cum stain rags. It’s like Plato’s Closet for people who like to play Russian Roulette with their rent money. Pull the trigger.
