Do We Really Need Another Reality Show?

From a Press Release:
R&B star Ashanti has teamed up with the producers of Ugly Betty and The Office to create a new reality TV contest.
The singer/actress has just signed a deal with the brains behind Reveille Productions to produce and host her own version of American Idol.
Details of the show are being kept tightly under wraps, but Ashanti’s manager/mother Tina Douglas tells WENN, “It’s an unscripted television show that is definitely music related. We’ll be revealing more in the coming weeks.
“She has her own record label, called Written Entertainment, and the show is going to revolve around her label… It’s going to be really big.”
I don’t know about that last bit.

Beyonce’s Dad Ordered To Pay Child Support

I think I have a newfound respect for Beyonce’s dad Mathew Knowles now that I’ve seen the woman he left his wife for. She’s far from being your typical jump off. You know: the LSLH, video vixen types.
It seems that Mathew might be the father of little Nixon after all. It was revealed that Mathew paid Alexsandra Wright $10,000 toward uninsured medical bills and baby stuff earlier this month.
And now he has been ordered to pay his mistress and jump down, Alexsandra, an additional $20,750 for the month of January and $8,200 per month — at least until the March 1st DNA test results come back.
Ol’ Mathew messed up when he coughed up the cash for the baby clothes and stuff. He probably thought Alexsandra was loyal and self-respecting enough to take his money and be quiet. Lol, apparently, he doesn’t know today’s jump offs!
Money may not buy love or happiness, but it sure does buy better lacefront weaves.

Tameka Foster Accuses Her Publicist of Stealing $20K in Clothing

Drama!
Talking about the pot calling the kettle black? Former celebrity stylist and professional gold digger Tameka Foster is looking for a new publicist after their very public blow up in Dallas this weekend.
According to close friends of Atlanta publicist Rochelle Brown of The V Firm PR, Tameka Foster threatened Brown and accused her of stealing $20,000 worth of clothes in what turned out to be a major misunderstanding.
But Tameka, being the unstable person that she is, took the whole misunderstanding to another level by physically threatening her frightened publicist, who is now contemplating taking out a police report against Foster.
Friends say Brown was hired by Foster to help repair her damaged image after her very public divorce from R&B singer Usher.
Here’s how it all went down:
Foster and Brown went to Dallas, Texas together to attend the NBA All Star festivities this past weekend. The ladies went out on Saturday night and then Brown decided to stay in Foster’s room at the luxurious boutique hotel ZaZa.
On Sunday morning, the ladies prepared to fly back to Atlanta. A bellman placed Foster’s bags in Brown’s rental car. Everything went down hill from there.
According to friends, Foster and Brown’s plan was to eat brunch at the Ritz Carlton hotel before leaving for the airport. But at the last minute, Brown had errands to run. So she took off on her errands with Foster’s bags in the car.
Feeling some kind of way about eating by herself on Valentine’s Day (and because Usher was in Dallas with another woman), Foster began bombarding Brown’s cell phone with text messages, basically annoying the young publicist about returning to the hotel to eat with her.
2nd Grade Teacher Killed By Low Life Boyfriend

A second grade teacher was savagely stabbed to death by her boyfriend who, police say, then got into his car and flagged down a patrol officer to turn himself in.
Dana McFarlane, 35, of Snellville is being held at the Henry County jail on a murder charge in the death of his girlfriend Kinaya Schenese Byrd, 34, who was stabbed during a quarrel at her home in Stockbridge.
According to the AJC, Byrd’s father, Richard Byrd was afraid for his daughter’s life after she began seeing the low life. “I had a deep feeling he might hurt her someday,” Richard Byrd said of his only child.
Richard Byrd said a neighbor heard the fight an tried to stop McFarlane. But she was dead before help could arrive.
The pretty future educator taught at River’s Edge Elementary School in Clayton County. Her death comes as a shock to friends, some of whom were classmates of hers at Spelman College.
A “Celebration of Life” service for Kinaya Schenese Byrd will be held at 1 p.m. Friday at St. Paul A.M.E. Church, 1540 Pryor Road Southwest in Atlanta. The wake will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday at Murray Brothers Cascade Chapel, 1199 Utoy Springs Road Southwest in Atlanta.
