Watch This: Millie Jackson Is Amazing

Posted on

In somber times as the present it’s nice to know that Rich of FourFour, who has been the Nettie to my Celie since 2005, can still make me smile with my heart.

I’m a little late to this one, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t touch on my favorite person on TV this week, soul singer Millie Jackson. Her life story took up an hour of TV One’s Unsung (basically my favorite show on TV now – did you see last week’s Full Force episode?!?). And what a story it was! She got her break by shit-talking some woman that was onstage at a concert she attended. She described her marriage to a bass player like this: “He was a decent cat, but he thought we were going to be Ike and Tina, and the record company didn’t sign Ike, it only signed Tina.” She gave Roxanne Shanté these words of advice: “You’ll be successful a lot longer for the nasty things that come out of your mouth than the nasty things you put in it.” She made fun of her own music, lamented her inability to pawn gold records and showed that at age 67, she’s still quite flexible (you can see that in the video above).

Thou shall not get hair styled while an episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta is on.

Gospel singer Ann Nesby is a walking example of what happens when you leave Grandma down at Sheniqua’s Track Masters salon unattended. What is suppose to be a routine press and curl can quickly turn into a Jenny Jones makeover.

The Alabama Leprechaun meets Busta Rhymes circa ’96 look may be a bit much for some people but Ann is working and twerking for her Lord. Tabernacle! More flicks of her at Essence’s Black Women In Music event on Wednesday under the cut.

Fueled by raw emotion and disappointment over his album sales, Chris Brown finally pulled the trigger and deleted his Twitter on Monday. And amazingly enough, the world didn’t stop spinning. His cyber meltdown couldn’t come at a better time for, um, some people. The January issue of  GQ featuring a topless Barbadian [Look ma, no tattoos!] hits newsstands today and the video premiere of her latest single “Hard” drops on Thursday. Whoring for propaganda is the new black and this girl wears it well. We all need to add an album full of crotch shots to our Facebook accounts!

You don’t need MaryJ. Blige or that shady queen Kendu to tell you that K-Ci’s life is one big say something nice challenge. Watching his on stage antics is like driving pass the scene of a bad car accident. You can’t help but look over, lower your head, and then say a silent prayer.

The reigning prince of rocks and blunts shared the stage with his brother JoJo, Dru Hill, Changing Faces, Troop, Blackstreet, Guy, and other R&B acts from the 90′s to perform at The Blast From The Past concert in Atlanta over the weekend. Exclusive Access has a ton of pics from the evening that will leave you wanting to sell your mama’s sofa.

goof1 Quick Quotes: Teyana Taylor

Like most canines, Pound Puppy is a loyal companion. Applaud that pooch.

“A lot of people were jumping on different bandwagons and I really felt like that was wack. Before the incident between him and Rihanna, Chris had always been my brother. When we met we clicked instantly from our fashion styles to our love of basketball to dancing to everything. I’ve known him for four years and I was one of the only people that stood by his side when the situation happened . . . When he gets back to where he used to be, a lot of people are going to come running back and smiling in his face. He knows who really are his friends. I think stuff like this happens to really show you who really cares about you.”
