. . . in more ways than one.

If Dwight Eubanks had functioning tear ducts he would be all cried out over the news that the formers Mrs. Magical Monchichi will not be joining the cast of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. After much speculation she finally set the record straight with the following statement.

“While I am flattered at the rumor circulating about being considered to join the cast of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, I am absolutely not joining the cast. I was initially approached by the producers for last season and declined. At this point, my priorities are focusing on being a mom and my philanthropy, Lost Ones Foundation.” [source]

Tameka Foster Raymond tells Ebony magazine that she regrets taking an almost fatal short cut and going under the knife weeks after giving birth. Hindsight is always 20/20.

“It was silly because my baby had only (been born) nine weeks or so (before), and I should’ve just waited. It was too soon after giving birth to be concerned about what I looked like physically. The foolish part for me was the fact that I wanted to take the shortcut. This is something I teach my children: Do not take the shortcut. It bothered me that I fell prey to it.”

Skeet or Delete: Usher’s Signing Bonus

21087e usher b gr 02 Skeet or Delete: Ushers Signing Bonus

The Twitterverse and “Immature Media” blogosphere was buzzing today due to the release of Usher’s new single “Filing Papers” or “Papers” or whatever. Throwing shade at Tameka Foster Raymond Margeaux Taylor and blaming her for the disintegration of their marriage and his relationship with his mother seems to be the focus of the song.

The song itself doesn’t have any redeeming qualities due to the fact that it sounds like a B-side from Usher’s 2004 effort Confessions. His “playing it safe,” although it may gain massive airplay, doesn’t have him exploring new musical grounds or growing as an artist. He seems to be stuck back in 2004, and although Confessions was a huge success, to try to replicate both the sales and soundscape of that album will end up as an EPIC FAIL.

Hopefully, Mr. Hoover Vacuum Cleaner nose will prepare another, better single cause this one, if depending on my opinion and those given by my cohorts on Twitter, will fail.

If this single is any indication of the subject matter Usher is taking on for his new album, Raymond-v-Raymond, Margeaux Taylor is about to be thrown under the bus for the rest of 2009-early 2010.

Don’t believe him, Tasha!

A Fresno, California based homemaker felt outraged after reading Tameka Foster Raymond’s Huffington Post essay not because of the subject matter but because she believed Foster tried to pass the work off as her own.

Who’s phony, who’s fake?

“My heart sank into my stomach. All the hard work, all the sleepless nights I had endured was playing back in my head as I read this article written by a woman I didn’t even know,” Curry told BV Buzz. “Why did I feel so connected to this article? Suddenly, it came to me. It was my work! It was my work, my voice, but in her words. I was frozen. Tears began rolling down my face as I read line after line after line. I couldn’t believe it. The idea that someone could gain notoriety from an issue that I first brought to the forefront is mindboggling. People were praising her for tackling an issue that had never been exposed. Hello?!? I wrote the book on it and started it years ago. The only difference between her article and my book is she used ‘dark-skinned’ and I used ‘Black.’ [continue]

Although perturbed by Foster’s alleged plagiarizing, Curry tells Black Voices that she hopes that the message of her book, Pretty For a Black Girl,  resonates with people. Reps from Margeaux Taylor [ahem] had no comment.
