Mane Moves: Toya Wright Chats With BET.com About New Endorsement Deal

Fresh — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 11:25:31 +0000

Reality star Toya Wright recently added product spokeswoman to her expanding arsenal of accomplishments. The still glowing newlywed along with husband Mickey “Memphitz” Wright were announced last month as the faces of the Ampro Pro Styl brand and will be featured in the global advertising for the complete product line.

“At Ampro, we are impressed with Toya’s efforts to improve her life and the lives of those around her as documented on her reality television show, ‘Toya: A Family Affair,’ and in her inspiring book, Priceless Inspirations,” said President of Ampro Industries Jack Sammons.

“Similarly, we are proud of MeMpHiTz’ achievements. He’s a homegrown Memphis favorite who has become a success in the music industry with both Jive Records & his own imprints Hitz Committee and Do Work Enterprises. We feel the path he has taken in his career is one which should be a model for young artists and encouraged on a national level.”

“I’m big on my edges,” explains Toya. “My hair is naturally curly and I’m all natural, so when my hair is pressed, I love to use Ampro Shine ‘n Jam Conditioning Gel. It has extra hold and it doesn’t make your hair flake up or anything. It’s not greasy and it’s a very light product.”

Toya’s slicking tool of choice is a familiar one. “I use the itty-bitty brush and the rat tail comb to smooth my edges.”

Her hubby is also loving their new arsenal of hair goodies. “He uses the men’s line that they have,” Toya says. “He likes waves, so he’s good with whatever gives him waves and allows him to tie it up.” (bet.com)

HARRY BELAFONTE WEIGHS IN ON LIL’ WAYNE’S “6 FOOT 7 FOOT” SAMPLE

“It’s not my song. It’s a song that belongs to millions of people in the Caribbean. An ancient work song that people, of which my family was one of them, [who] were plantation workers . . . sang in the day and they sang in the night. They sang every opportunity they could get to throw off the burdens of poverty, and therefore the song has great significance . . . I’m just glad to see that the younger generations have picked it up and are carrying the song forward in their own way, just like I picked it up in my time.” (source)

WANDA SYKES RIPS THE DONALD

“He’s not happy unless he’s relevant in some way. He wants people to be talking about him. I thought he would be happy enough to finally have a decent season of ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ but, you know, he had to make a little bit more noise than that, I guess.” (source)

TOYA CARTER HAS NO PLANS ON CHANGING HER LAST NAME, THANK YOU

“A lot of people keep their married name. I’m not changing my name to make people happy. Carter is my last name. Period. When I get married, I’ll change my name, but for now, I have a daughter who has that name.”

CJ WALLACE ON WARMING UP TO HOLLYWOOD

“When I did Notorious, my grandma, Ms. [Voletta] Wallace, told me that I should come in and read for the part as my father. Honestly, I didn’t want to do it. I didn’t want to do it because it seemed so likely for me to do it, like Biggie’s son is going to play Biggie . . . After I had my acting coach and really read through it, I started to find out things that I didn’t know about him. Then I took more of an interest into it. It was actually fun, going out to New York, living like him, going into his old apartment, doing what he did. It was cool.” (source)

NENE LEAKES DISPUTES BULLY TITLE

“I know I’m not a bully and everybody has their opinions and that’s fine with me. You’re not on the show; I am. So you don’t know what goes on . . . Let me get you to understand I don’t bully anybody. I stand up for what I believe in and I’m very honest and I always tell the truth. I’m not a liar, I’m not manipulative and I don’t stab you in your back because I will stab you in your chest.” (source)

Freeze Frame: Weezy’s Family Atmosphere In Atlanta

Fresh — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 18:57:27 +0000

One would imagine that juggling the demands of multiple baby mamas is far from easy but Lil’ Wayne seem to relish the challenge. With four under his belt the 28-year-old is showing no signs of letting up any time soon. While that act of perseverance garners a rousing standing ovation down at the car wash Waka Flocka Flame got shot at I doubt you are out of your seat just yet.

Half of Weezy’s baby muvahs (Sarah Vivian, pictured above holding Dwayne III and Toya Carter) enjoyed a front row view at their child support check at work during the Atlanta stop of the ‘I Am Music’ Tour. “Just enjoyed an AMAZING show w/ the fam!!!! 1st time Lil Tune seen Daddy do his thing LIVE!! @NICKIMINAJ gave us memories for LIFE!!,” tweeted Sarah after watching Big Tunechi tear down Philips Arena on Saturday.

Quick Flicks: Toya Carter & Lil’ Wayne’s Daughter Reginae Celebrates Her 12th Birthday

Fresh — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 16:58:13 +0000

Lil’ Wayne and his seamlessly blended ~~hood rich~~ family congregated at posh Atlanta restaurant Straits over the weekend to celebrate daughter Reginae’s 12th birthday. Toya’s current beau producer / personality Memphitz, Tiny, Birdman, Nivea, Young Money diaper genie Lil’ Chuckee and Diggy Simmons rounded out the list of well wishing guests. There were no signs of Grandma Crazy Nita, though.

It would break my heart if this child goes down the Bobbi “Nympho Babii” Kristina route. Just say no to Four Loko’s and McRibs, Reginae!

Quick Flicks: Toya Carter Celebrates The Grand Opening of Her Hometown Boutique

Fresh — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 20:23:18 +0000

While her partner in crime Tiny continues to speed through life without a license, insurance, or wearing a seat belt (known as riding Gucci in some parts) on her way to pick up the WTF Girlz from vocal lessons before making a pit spot to Da Pill Man house, Toya is a lane over riding on cruise control to happiness. That girl is one alter call away from a Tyler Perry stage play.

Here’s the scoop via my girl ATLien of Straight From The A:

During BET’s “Tiny and Toya” reality show, we witnessed Toya work on her book and now she has opened her very own clothing store called “Garb Boutique”.

The boutique is located in Antonia’s hometown New Orleans on Magazine Street and sells cute clothing for females only. The name itself signifies “a distinctive style or form of clothing” and I’m sure Toya’s selection fits the bill.

T.I. Puts The Brakes On ‘Tiny & Toya’

Fresh — Thu, 13 May 2010 20:30:36 +0000

Try to control your emotions.

Word on the curb is that T.I. has pulled on the plug on Tiny & Toya and the show will not be back for a third season. While this news isn’t worth going on a full blown hunger strike for but I may just skip my mid-day snack in protest. Fans of the show can continue to follow Toya doing Toya shit (slow twerking in the middle of the kitchen to Magnolia Shorty, praying for Crazy Nita, popping tags, the usual) on her exciting new spin-off series.

She recently granted a lucky high school junior a dream prom experience after partnering up with Atlanta-based event planning / concierge service The Network. Gold star for you! Hit up my boy Freddy O for flicks.

It’s unfortunate that this parody of Tiny & Toya could suffice as a full episode of the show if more BET budget cuts occurred.
