Rihanna Interview With Diane Sawyer 20/20

MrsGrapevine — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:46:34 +0000

That’s embarrassing that that’s the type of person that I fell in love with. So far in love. So unconditional that I went back. It’s humiliating to say this happened. To accept that? It’s a traumatizing experience.

You listen to this interview it will put some things in perspective for you. I always say, we behind the blogs get so wrapped up in the story that we forget there are actual human behind the celebrity. I must say I am so proud of Rihanna for finally speaking out, it’s always better late than never, and not only does she speak out, she seems quite honest and forthcoming. This interview is more detailed than what inside “sources” lead us to believe (almost made drop a tear). Although she doesn’t go into great detail, in part two she says a lot more about that night than what Chris Brown had to say. I am still suspect that her team decided to speak out before an upcoming album, it would have meant a lot more to me, if the interview wasn’t linked to a promotion. But like I said late, it’s always better than never…

It’s completely normal to go back. It’s not right. I learned the hard way, but again, this is what I want people to know. When I realized that my selfish decision for love could result in some young girl getting killed, I could not be easy with that part. I couldn’t be held responsible for going back.Even if Chris never hit me again, who is to say that their boyfriend won’t? Who’s to say that they won’t kill these girls? These are young girls and I just didn’t realize how much of an impact I had on these girls’ lives until that happened.

Jay-Z Visits Canda’s MuchOnDemand (MOD)

MrsGrapevine — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 17:16:18 +0000

This one is for the ladies and especially Absolute Brook. I don’t know at what point in his career that Jay-Z became eye candy, but if you let women on twitter tell it, he should be on the cover of GQ monthly. I’m thinking he became a sex symbol when we found out he was worth more than $300 million, or when Beyonce snatched him up and he became unavailable. However, if you let the ladies tell it, they have been down with Jay-Z from the beginning.

Anyway Jay-Z hit up MOD in Toronto. In case you didn’t know, MuchOnDemand (MOD) is like Canda’s version of TRL or 106 & Park.

The True Story Behind BET Reality Show Tiny & Toya; Toya Sleeping With Producer’s Friend?

MrsGrapevine — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 20:35:26 +0000

WARNING: Remember there are two-sides to every story, and Antonia Carter has not addressed any of these rumors. So until then, they are just rumors…Monica warned us on twitter that some snakes were coming to get Toya…CLICK HERE FOR PART TWO

One of my loyal readers Funkardashian, yes I do I have a few, sent me an e-mail explaining the drama behind the scenes of the Tiny & Toya show. All the drama seems to revolve around one central character, and there are some serious claims made against Antonia Carter (Toya). Hold on, before you say it’s all made up, apparently there is proof if it comes down to it. There are two-sides to this story, and it’s time you finally hear the other side.

We all know that Kandi Burruss of Xscape was suppose to be on that show and was cut, but we don’t know exactly why, except that there was a falling out with the producer. This is what Kandi had to say about the matter back in July:

I was supposed to be on the ‘Tiiny & Toya’ show along with our friend Joy, Lyfe Jennings’s ex-fiancée, For whatever reason, the producer and Joy had an uneasy disagreement during the first meeting that I was unable to attend and he simply decided to do the show with Tiny and Toya. I was disappointed because I was looking forward to getting into reality television… [Source]

Well I was informed that it all started with a woman named Joy Bounds. Joy Bounds in case you don’t know is Lyfe Jennings “baby mama”. Apparently, Joy came up with the concept for a reality show that included Tameka Cottle (Tiny), Toya, Kandi Burruss, Joy Bounds, and Christine White (Luda’s baby mama). Word is Toya got all the other women kicked off the show through some shady measures. I’m told she was sleeping with a friend of the producer, and Toya’s on air sweet image was just a front for the cameras. The following is part of the message that I received:

I have an entire page about how it was Joys idea to do reality show but it was to be like a talk show. She actually came up with idea and the ladies. That’s why it’s never been explained how Antonia and Tiny became friends; it was Joy who was the mutual friend of the ladies. Also Christine White (Luda baby mama) was suppose to be in with them but she and Toya had a falling out.

I don’t want to say that Joy is beefing because she’s a great girl but Toya is always calling out people on hatin’ and being snakes when she knows she was hatin’ on Joy. Joy and Toya were like sister.

It’s sad in relation to Joy. Joy is the one that brought them all together. Toya was dating one of the producer’s friends during production. lol! Honey she’s not all that NICE. Do u remember Kandi saying that Joy and the producer had a fallin out and the next day Joy and Kandi was cut from the show? Well that’s why.

Okay ma, let me tell you Joy knew Tiny first! Take a look back at pics on SandraRose of Tiny’s baby shower Joy was there not Ms Toya. Joy brought these ladies together. It’s hard for her. I mean like joy is depressed. She really loved Toya, but Toya did her wrong.

Wait, there is more. The messages got so long that I was sent a follow-up e-mail that goes into more details. Apparently MTV was also interested in this reality show, but Toya feared the white audience would not understand her culture, and think she was stupid. It just keeps getting better, keep reading…

The 2 first met couple of years ago and quickly took to one another because they were pretty much going through the same thing bad relationship with celebrity men. The two became friends fast. Joy decided to start up a show along with Toya the she (joy) recruited christine white and Tiny. Joy went out and found Christine and Tiny for the reason of doing a show. “Toya knows all of this.” They would have meetings at eachother houses. The 4 of them came up with an idea to do a late night talk show then they decided to do the reality show to jump start the talk show. Toya fell out with Christine. So Christine decided to step out the picture(You know Ms Christine got her own she because shes an attorney). Toya and Tiny really wanted 4 ladies thats how Kandi got involved. All four ladies met with Bet producer but Joy wasnt feelin right about how he wanted her character to act (crazy) so Joy and the producer bumped heads.So they flew to NYC to meet with another production company at MTV. They were very excited and wanted the show. They sent their deal to the ladies attorney and immediately started reaching out to networks. So within weeks Oxygen, Bravo and Oprah’s network O, wanted a meeting. But, while Joy was working hard trying to put these meetings together, Toya said she didnt want to sign with the MTV company because they’re white and she felt they might make her look stupid, which Joy realize now was just some game because Toya was still talking to the BET producer and dating his friend who were telling her that she didnt need Joy, and that nobody knew who Lyfe was, etc. In the end Joy was stabbed in the back by Toya and left out of everything. Best of my knowledge the two did speak on the matter after the show aired and Toya didnt have much remorse.. Joy is deeply sadden and was left depressed in losing a friend and her ideas. right now Joy remains in her relationship and caring for her two lovely sons. she is still wanting to get into reality tv so she is working on more ideas.

I don’t know what to say except, this does paints Toya in a new light.

Chris Brown Mother Speaks – Interview With Larry King; Rihanna Dining At Da Silvano

MrsGrapevine — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 13:33:01 +0000

UPDATE: Chris Brown Interview with Larry King will air Wednesday, September 2nd at 9 PM ET.

People always tell me that I defend Chris Brown, or that I condone his behavior. It’s certainly not true. I am a mother of two sons, and I don’t understand how someone I perceive as a kid can do something so wrong, and my mother instinct kicks in and I just feel for him. What would I do if that was my son, and everything I taught him was thrown out the window in an instant, well Chris Brown’s mother, Joyce Hawkins, speaks out on that very subject:

I just want to say from the bottom of my heart thank you for your continued support. I’m sorry I wasn’t allowed to speak to anyone as this case was on going. I can now say this has been the most painful moment in my entire life, but knowing that you were still standing by Chris side in his time of need made this a little easier for us. Because of all your prayers God brought him through. I just want to say God has never failed me and never will. All moms and dads please stand by your children and pray for their goodness each and everyday. Chris and I love you so much, as the tears fall from my eyes and the pain lingers in my heart I still say thank you God, thank you thank you almighty God. If any of you wonder why I continue to speak of God it’s because I know no other way. I made a promise to him I would never be ashamed of him no matter where I am or who I talk to. You see this whole thing isn’t about Chris it’s about God. He wants to show all of you the goodness of him through Chris. Chris will be addressing all of his fans very soon. We love you so much and so does God.

According to E! Online, Chirs Brown sat down with Larry King on Wednesday for an interview, where no questions were off limits. The episode of is scheduled to air next week, and will probably be one of the highest rated episodes in a while. All I ever wanted to know is what he has to say about that night:

Apparently the disgraced R&B star still had something to say, because he sat down with Larry King on Wednesday at CNN’s Hollywood headquarters for his first interview since his Feb. 8 arrest for assaulting his ex, E! News has learned exclusively.

And it was a no-holds-barred chat during which Brown answered every question put to him, according to our source. We assume some of King’s inquiries pertained to the 20-year-old’s probation report, which indicated that he got rough with Rihanna more than once over the course of their stormy relationship.

The insider tells E! that the interview will air sometime next week on Larry King Live. A network rep could not immediately be reached for comment.

While Chris Breezy, appropriately named, was sitting down with Larry King, Rihanna was spotted chilling at Da Silvano in Manhattan. She has really been taking it back to the 80’s & 90’s, and I love her style whether it’s original or not; she owns it.

Real Housewives of Atlanta Drama Continues: Kim Zolciak Speaks on Beef

MrsGrapevine — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 16:04:08 +0000

Are the RHOA just picking on Kim because she’s the only “other” on the show, or is she really the source of all the rumors and lies. Honestly, I think Kim is the source of a lot of drama, but only because she’s been caught in several lies, already. However, after last week’s episode, I think Sheree may the worst of them all. But, whatever the case Ms. Zolciak decided to have a sit down with Essence.com to clear up a few rumors, or perhaps start some more. You can read the interview below:

[TV Credit: Bravo]

ESSENCE.COM: Can we go through some of these rumors that are out in the blogesphere? What about the one that the Bentley you drive doesn’t actually belong to you but to former NBA player Gerald Wilkins?

ZOLCIAK: My neighbor Damian is Gerald Wilkins’ son. He’s a dear friend of mine. Gerald’s wife is my real estate agent. I’ve never had a relationship with Gerald and I can count on one hand how many times I’ve met the man. The Bentley is in my name. You can pull the title. I bought it and it’s mine.

ESSENCE.COM: NeNe’s new book, “Never Make the Same Mistake Twice,” just came out. Have you read it?

ZOLCIAK: I have not read the book yet, but hell yeah, if she wrote about me, I’m going to read it. I mean, she had to write about me in order to sell the book. She told me, ‘Well, maybe you should read it on your way back from New York.’ So I don’t know what she wrote but I do wish her success and I’m happy for her.

ESSENCE.COM: You two came to blows a few months ago. There was a police report indicating that NeNe assaulted you. What happened?

ZOLCIAK: NeNe and I have decided to just move on from that. Yes, there was altercation but we’ve talked in great length about it and we’re just both on to bigger and better things like her book and my wig line. NeNe and I care about each other and because we do, sometimes emotions run a lot higher than if we didn’t care at all.

ESSENCE.COM: Is it true that you don’t date Black men?

ZOLCIAK: Yes, it’s true, I don’t date Black men. I never have. It’s not a prejudice. It’s just a personal preference. People always think that Big Papa is Black. I don’t know why. I’ve never dated a Black man. It’s not to say it wouldn’t happen in the future, but at this time, I never have.

Setting The Record Straight: NeNe Leakes & Kandi Fight On Radio

MrsGrapevine — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 20:35:50 +0000

The season premier of the Real Housewives of Atlanta took place last night, and there is no better place to watch it than with your fellow bloggers on twitter. Anyway, before the show aired, NeNe Leakes and Kandi Burruss got into a shouting match live on the radio. I am Team NeNe all the way, right or wrong.

So during the shouting match (mostly NeNe yelling), Kandi accused NeNe of calling fellow cast mate, Kim Zolciak, a stripper in her new tell all memoir. Kandi then said she didn’t read this rumor online on the blogs, but that she read an excerpt from pre-release copies of the book. Sorry, Kandi I have to call you out on this, because that rumor started with New York Daily News, and not the publisher of the book:

And while the book is about Leakes’ life, she’s also talking about her onscreen frenemy Kim Zolciak. In the tome, Leakes will reportedly out Zolciak’s past as an Atlantic City stripper who went by the name of Barbie. [Source]

So Kandi is just spreading rumors while claiming them as fact, and NeNe Leakes called the radio show to put Miss Kandi in her place. WARNING: This will get ugly toward the end.
