octavia11 Quick Quotes: Octavia Spencer

Jezebel – Actress Octavia Spencer has been the toast of the town since getting a heap of award nominations for her role in The Help, but, much to her dismay, a lot of the conversation in the press about her has involved her weight. She took to Facebook to air her frustrations and set the record straight.

After being honored by my Guild on Sunday, I was whisked to the Press Room where one of the first questions I was asked (by Ted Casablanca) was ‘what I felt about underweight women’. (i’m paraphrasing here) I’m thinking….this is relevant because… Then I started thinking, would these questions ever be asked of my male counterparts? Better yet, underweight actors or actresses? Nah, I don’t think so!

mjb Star Tracks: Mary J. Blige Visits The Wendy Williams Show

What more can I say to describe Mary J. Blige’s appearance on The Wendy Williams Show that wasn’t already addressed in my chat with YoungSinick this evening?

I know she’s not that awkward in person. I bet she be cursing and shit, trying to shoot pool. I love her. Like, if she’s friends with Tamar Braxton you know she can talk. She hangs with Taraji P. Henson and Tamar now. Said she hasn’t seen Lil’ Kim in years. Shade says she rolls with the wealthy and relevant. Let me stop before a Kim stan swoops in. Mary probably doesn’t wanna be bothered with Kim, though. Still talking about Biggie like it’s 1995 and she just escaped Faith Evans’ wrath.

And that’s what friends are for. Peep a snippet Willona Woods’ chat with Wendell after jump.

lhh2 In Other News: The Love And Hip Hop 2 Reunion Is Going To Be A Snoozefest

First the bad news: The ‘Love & Hip Hop 2′ reunion special won’t feature any bottles of Moscato being swung at Kimbella’s head.

Now the good news: Chrissy’s hair is still laid and the displaced chocolate chip on her face is still intact.

Due to all the cat fights and arguments amongst the cast, the powers that be were forced to switch things up since several of the thug misses of Love & Hip Hop 2 refused to be in the same room together. Instead of taking the traditional reunion show route Executive Producer Mona Scott-Young will interview the gworls one-on-one on Monday night’s special episode, dubbed the ‘Love And Hip Hop: Reality Check.’

Crunkster Devon echoed her opinion: “Oh, because Uggs, crocodile skin tights, leg warmers and young ass sweatshirts are hot?”
