Chris Brown Interview
The next time you’re in New York, stop by Sony Record label and thank record exec David Bell for sending this new pic and an audio stream of Chris Brown’s interview with Hot 97′s Angie Martinez yesterday.
I still have no sympathy for Chris Brown. He can play that victim role if he wants, but once an abuser, always an abuser.
Edited:
I couldn’t get the audio stream to stop playing automatically when you reload the page. So I replaced it with the video below.

Inside Kandi Burrus’ New Boutique TAGS
As most of you already know, former Xscape singer/songwriter and RHOA cast member Kandi Burruss just opened up a new boutique with her business partner Peaches Chin on S. Atlanta Road. The Grand opening is in two weeks. The stores carries a line of affordable clothing and accessories that won’t hurt your bank account.
Peep the pics below by the AJC’s Johnny Crawford.

Kandi Burruss relaxes as Peaches Chin (right) helps her put on a necklace inside Tags, their new boutique. Burruss and Chin decided the concept for the store, would be “luxury for less.”
Some have raised eyebrows at the wisdom of opening a boutique in the midst of a recession, Burruss said, but she and Chin believe customers will be surprised at the store’s affordability.
This necklace for under $25.00 is available at Tags
Court Says Usher/Trampeka Divorce Not Final Yet
Updated:
TMZ needs to get their facts straight! Earlier, the celebrity blog claimed that an LA court changed the status of divorce papers for Usher Raymond and Tameka Foster to “disposed,” meaning the marriage is over. Except that Usher filed for divorce in Georgia. So what does LA have to do with anything?
TMZ is beginning to look as shaky as that fast food blog that’s always manufacturing stories.
The AJC.com, which actually bothered to check with the Georgia courts, quoted Don Plummer with Fulton County who said nothing has been filed with the court as of yet.
In fact, Plummer told the AJC that the two parties haven’t even come to court with an agreement.
So I guess that means Tameka doesn’t have to change her Twitter name just yet.
Rosie O’Donnell Confirms Split With ‘Wife’
Comedian and TV personality Rosie O’Donnell tearfully confirmed rampant Internet rumors that her ‘wife’ has moved out.
According to People.com, O’Donnell said that she and her wife of five years, Kelli Carpenter, are undergoing a rough patch in their relationship and they are working together to raise their 5 adopted children.
“We’re a family. We will remain a family forever. And we are working on our issues,” O’Donnell, 47, tells USA Today.
“Kelli and I love each other very much and we are working on our issues,” a tearful O’Donnell says, emphasizing that the couple’s four children are “a priority.” “Those are the only words I am ever going to say. Ever. And that is something that has been agreed upon by all parties. But everything’s fine and everybody’s good and we’re still both raising them together. We will both continue to parent them and we’re friendly and everything’s all right.”
Tiny Discusses T.I.
Former Xscape member Tameka “Tiny” Cottle talked to Allhiphop.com about T.I. and how he’s passing the time on the inside.
I wonder what she means by “he hears things and we talk about it?” I guess I’ll ask her tomorrow during her Live Chat on Sandrarose.com.
“I talk to him about a little of everything, just things going on. He hears things and we talk about it. He wants me to stay out the way, me being out of harm’s way. I know it’s a lot of crazy things going on so I try to stay in as much as possible because I don’t have him here. So I come out only when it’s necessary. I stay out the way. But he even said it was a terrible situation that AJ had to lose his life like that. Him not knowing the situation and what’s going on he really can’t speak on it. He’s doing good. He’s passing the time by working out and just doing things they do inside, you know,” she stated. “He’s playing handball and things like that. I go see him every Sunday, sometimes on Mondays. We talk everyday. He gets emails, working out and doing things like that so he’s busy in there. He has a full schedule.”
Oprah To Interview Sarah Palin in November (did she stop drinking the Kool Aid?)
The big news in the blogosphere today is talk show Diva Oprah Winfrey will interview Sarah Palin in November. If you recall, Oprah refused to give Palin airtime while McCain/Palin was running against Obama/Biden.
Palin will appear on Oprah’s show on November 16 to discuss her new book. Palin resigned from her position as Alaska governor to go on a book tour and to capitalize on her fame with speaking engagements.
The other news is Barack Obama’s approval numbers are dropping again. No surprise there. I wonder how Obie feels about Oprah changing her mind about Palin?
Up Next: The Latest Industry Bicycle
Men are so easy I swear. Is it any wonder that a record number of industry cats are paying for abortions or have secret families that they hope never materialize at their front door? What makes today’s man (especially the ones in Atlanta) so gullible?
Want to hook a baller to finance your situation or get some face time in some rapper’s video? Just fill your butt with Hydrogel and throw in a pair of breast implants and you’re straight. They won’t know the difference.
The latest industry bicycle is a LSLH chick named “Shakur.” I’ve never heard of her either. But according to loyal reader Juleszsss, Shakur slept her way to the top via gay rapper’s Drake and Kanye West.
Shakur denies the allegations, but we can’t deny that she is Up Next.
