Don’t Make Taye Diggs Come For You Over His Woman

taye Dont Make Taye Diggs Come For You Over His WomanTaye Diggs took to his Twitter account over the weekend to defend himself against misleading blog headlines that suggests he only knocked up wife Idina Menzel for the sole purpose of creating yella babies to bequeath all his corniness to one day.

“Once again I have been misquoted. To be clear, my mother has never thought she wasn’t ‘black enough,’” he wrote.”And I did not marry a white woman to have a ‘light skinned baby.’ Come on, people. I’m promoting a book about self esteem, self love and affirmation. Let’s lift each other up, not tear each other down.”

Never one to leave a fellow chocolatier assed out Tyrese then proceeded to perform a soul stirring rendition of “We’ve Come This Far By Faith” via UStream. Inside my mind at least.

Diggs recently credit model Tyson Beckford with helping him love the skin he is in.

Quick Quotes: Brandy Will Appreciate It Greatly If The Stans Would Stop Comparing Her To Other Artists

brandy purple Quick Quotes: Brandy Will Appreciate It Greatly If The Stans Would Stop Comparing Her To Other Artists

Brandy is over messy queens who insist on comparing her vocal capabilities (and lowkey edges) to other female R&B contemporaries.

She tells TrueExclusives.com: “When you put competition in the midst of what’s so unique and so different about every artist out there, it keeps you from appreciating everybody. Everybody has their own tone, their own sound . . . nobody can be Beyonce better than Beyonce, nobody can be me better than me, or any of these other great artists.”

wwhl Quick Quotes: NeNe Leakes

As I said earlier tonight when enough is enough is enough. And sometimes people can do things that go just too far. And then there are times when some people grow and some people say the same. I’m into growing.

With every episode she talks negatively above me. You don’t see me on an episode this season talking negatively about her. To be very honest, I haven’t talked to Kim in almost 2 years now. So she’s still talking about things that are very old. So let me just say, growth is a beautiful thing. And some people grow a little bit slower than others.

I don’t know and I don’t care.

I am dating. It’s refreshing. I have not been single in a while. I got divorced and married in the same year. It was a run-on relationship. But a lot of guys like to play games. I like a man that’s a boss. I am not the dominant one. But a lot of the ones with the right mind-set wear OshKosh overalls. And if they are not fly, I don’t like them.

Promo Trail: Jennifer Hudson Visits The Weight Watchers NYC Center

As much as I openly stan for Jennifer Hudson those Weight Watchers commercials sends this fat kid running (well, speed walking) straight to the fridge. I wiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnn!

At a party for her new book, “I Got This: How I Changed My Ways And Lost What Weighed Me Down,” the Academy Award winner revealed to The Huffington Post that she turned down the starring role in Precious because it would have been too emotionally taxing at the time.

“I’m totally fine with my decision. I got my Oscar,” said Hudson, whose performance as Effie White in 2006’s “Dreamgirls” earned her the award for Best Supporting Actress. “I’m a firm believer that what is meant for you is meant for you, and that was clearly meant for Gabourey Sidibe. I adore her, she did an amazing job, and again I did not turn the role down because of the weight situation. I just felt the character was doing things, at least in my script that I got, that were places I did not want to go and not where I needed to go.”

When I had talked to her after it happened and she called to apologize to me, I said “you know what, you call and apologizing to me but you went on radio in New York to say this about me so everything that you put out there, nobody knows you apologizing right now.”

Apologize publicly if you want me to take this seriously. Don’t say it to me after you done put all this craziness out there about me.

qq2 Quick Quotes: Diddy, Tasha Smith and Steve Harvey

Just regular hate and people on some not understanding how this industry works. This is a hard industry, this is not for kids, this is not for the weak. This is not a PG rated industry. If you are weak you will get eaten alive in this industry. This industry has a life expectancy of like two years.

It started a couple of years ago with what happened with this artist, why isn’t this artist still on the label, why isn’t that artist on the label, so people started to give us a bad rap. Honestly, nobody that was on Def Jam still on Def Jam nobody on Roc-A-Fella still on Roc-A-Fella. We’re the last people standing.

tiny ti And Now A Few Words of Wisdom From T.I.

While the drama between Tiny’s squabbling friends on last night’s episode of T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle was faking than whatever shit she had injected into her top lip during her Bart Simpson-esque bee stung era, The Rubbermand Man made stirred my soul when he offered the following real advice after learning that his wife was having less than the ideal employer-employee relationship with hoodrat homie / hairstylist, Shekinah.

Bam! That shit goes for family, too. Problem solved. Watch Mr. and Mrs. Harris’ lively trip out west after the jump.
