Posted on February 1, 2013

Toni Braxton waved to fans as she made her way on stage for an appearance on ‘Extra’ with Mario Lopez at The Grove in Los Angeles on Thursday (January 31).

The mother of two, who rocked a figure hugging LBD, stars in a new Lifetime original movie ‘Twist of Faith.’ In the made for television flick Toni portray Nina, a single mother and the lead singer of a small gospel choir who comes across Jacob (played by David Julian Hirsh) an Orthodox Jewish Cantor who denounces his faith and leaves his home after witnessing the senseless murder of his wife and children. Well, hallelu.

Mykelti Williamson, best known for his roles as Benjamin Buford Blue in ‘Forrest Gump’ and Uncle George in ‘ATL’ (for the kids born after 1990), also appears in the film. ‘Twist of Faith’ premieres on Lifetime February 9 at 8/7c.

Quick Quotes: Oprah Keeps It Trill With Toni Braxton

Posted on October 30, 2012

In a taped interview for her ‘Behind The Music’ special Toni Braxton insists that Oprah severely damaged her reputation after throwing shade about the R&B’s star overspending habits. Guess who’s not invited to Towanda’s next lace front tea?

“She was so frickin’ mean to me, I was in shock. She said, ‘I hear you have Gucci flatware. I’m Oprah Winfrey and I don’t have Gucci flatware.’ You didn’t have Gucci flatware because you didn’t wanna buy it; it’s not because you couldn’t afford it.”

Squeezing her thumb and forefinger together, Toni recalls, “She made me feel this big.”

Toni’s issues with money unfortunately doesn’t stop there. Yesterday, TMZ reported that 45-year-old singer has been accused of fraudulently wiring a significant sum of money to her estranged husband Keri Lewis apparently in order to evade repayments to bank creditors.

Snapshots! Tamar Braxton Catches Dinner With Lady Gaga

Posted on July 12, 2012

Wednesday night, Lady Gaga was spotted out leaving dinner with ‘Braxton Family Values’ breakout star Tamar Braxton at Mr. Chow’s in Los Angeles. Now, when we say breakout star we mean her life has been one big “let me act like a sassy gay boy” moment since the show debuted — and our Facebook friends eats that tired routine up like Scooby Snacks.

Also spotted: Tamar’s personal teddy bear, husband Vince Hubert (who is collecting coins as part of Gaga’s management team — get to the money, sausage lips!). Oh, and somebody named Toni Braxton in the background.

Say what you want, but Tamar gives us hope that one day a multi-platinum recording artist will pay for our dinner. Wonder if this will have any positive effects on her sophomore album, because we all loved her on Sole’s album back in ’99.

Wearing the distinctive blue puzzle piece lapel pin, mom and son showed their support for Autism Speaks.

Autism Speaks is dedicated to increasing awareness of the growing autism epidemic — 1 in 166 children is now diagnosed with autism — and to raising money to fund scientists who are searching for a cure. Toni has been a spokeswoman for the organization after Diezel was diagnosed with autism in October 2006.

“He wasn’t developing like his brother was,” said Toni about the little red flags when comparing Diezel to his older brother, Denim. “I know you’re not supposed to compare, but things were drastically different. I became determined to join Autism Speaks in its battle against this devastating disorder when autism became a part of my family’s reality.”

toni side1 Quick Flicks: On The Set of Toni Braxtons New Video Toni Braxton’s sons, Diesel Ky and Denim Cole, joined their mom on the set of her new video “I Heart You” on Sunday (March 18) at the Civic Center Studios in Los Angeles.

During the video shoot for her first single in two years, Toni showed off her toned legs in a revealing pink cutaway leotard and black suspender tights. Her natural hair (which makes the singer look less like a ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ competitor in comparison with the bargain bin wigs Towanda is responsible for maintaining) perfectly framed her face.
