Oprah Commissions La Toya Jackson Reality Show

Sandra Rose August 2, 2012

Oprah Winfrey’s struggling OWN Network has commissioned a new reality TV series featuring Michael Jackson’s troubled sister, La Toya.

OWN’s cameras will follow La Toya, 56, as she focuses on her relationship with her famous brothers and sisters in a show titled, Life With La Toya. This news comes on the heels of a very public war between Michael’s daughter, Paris, 14, and her aunts and uncles who are battling for control of Michael’s millions.

“I am so pleased to be working with television legend Oprah Winfrey and to be a part of the Own family. This will be one of the most exciting adventures of my life,” La Toya said in a statement.

Oprah is featured on the current cover of the ‘natural issue’ of Oprah magazine. She’s wearing her natural hair in tight curls, without the benefit of a perm, curling iron or flat iron taken to her tresses.

ON TOPIC – I watched behind the scences of OWN last night, couldn’t find the remote. Oprah done blew up (her weight) Her and that white woman that works for her, must sit around talking about show ideas and having food races.

Afternoon all
Line-up of what happened with the bring your own food picnic. So I was going to meet this new guy and he was coming to the picnic. He was three hours late so I started getting it in and was drunk as shat, hey it was a family picnic and that’s how we get down. Anywho, by the time he arrived I was nice and toasty. Later on we decided to go to the fair, it was wack, but anywho, he left me to talk on the phone to his “friend” in private…wtf..you trying holla at me and you leave me to talk to your “friend”. So, naturally I was upset and made a few comments, they probably were not so nice but fck him…So I haven’t heard from his since Saturday so I texted him wondering if we were still friends..(after about 8, I can’t remember the events of that evening) he never responded. My sister talks to his friend and tells him that I was cool but he can’t get with the drinking, mind you he is 45, you couldn’t tell me that your damn self!!! BTW, everybody ate everybody else’s shat anyway…
I said all that to ask: Should I have addressed the phone issue and should I be upset becuase he couldn’t be man enough and address me himself instead of talking to his boy???

Long I know but this has been on my mind since yesterday..

BCC you should just let that ride. You had a little too much to drink, he’s passed judgment (as you prolly are doing with the phone call thing..)

No biggie tho right? Sometimes it works, most times it doesnt. No need to have ill feelings or any feelings for that matter.. a “No love, but there aint no hate either” type thing.

Its a good thing you know he aint man enough now..instead of later.

I’m actually interested in seeing La Toya, it’s crazy, but she actually in these past few years has become the Jackson that has stepped up and proven herself to be the Jackson with sense. Notice how she steered clear of all the recent drama. La Toya knows what she doing. Michael should have willed her and the mother together part of the estate.

you can tell by the obvious “blending”

Are you natural? Kinky naturals often have 3 or more different curl/coil patterns in their hair.

Think of a slinky..the more weight added the more the coil stretches out. I didnt know I had “curly” hair until my hair was at least 7in natural. Up until then I thought just kinks on kinks on kinks. Which i do have as well.

I say transition because it helped me to transition from bein all relaxed, not necessarily to natural. It’s just called texlax because its a relaxer with your texture. I’ve never used a texturizer, but they prolly do the same. All it does is stretches your hair a little depending how long you keep it on.

MSDIVA – I have…I big chopped 10 years ago after I transitioned for 2 months…at one point I wore locs for 3 years then chopped it off and then after a year of growing it out I chopped it again…my last chop was for my 30th…shoot I love that damn near fade…if I could find a beautician that doesn’t charge an arm and a leg I’d keep it it at that length forever

Cute pic @Diva! I did not BC tho. I transitioned for 2 yrs and felt like I wasted my damn time. I shouldve just chopped. My hair was totally different after I let the relaxed ends go.

I had to switch products and everything.

detangling is my nemisis

@Bibs your hair sounds fine like mine…your individual strands..do they feel like thread? thinner? can you hear them if you roll a piece between your fingers? Can you see a strand against a piece of paper? This is strand thickness: coarse vs. fine.

You should try some volumizing products. I think loreal everclear has some nice stuff. And I use the SM Yucca line for that reason.
OutsidetheBox

Here is a chart:
F – Fine: Thin strands that sometimes are almost translucent when held up to the light. Shed strands can be hard to see even against a contrasting background. When rolling a strand between your thumb and index finger, fine hair is difficult to feel or it feels like an ultra-fine strand of silk

M – Medium: Strands are neither fine nor coarse. When rolling a strand between your thumb and index finger, medium hair feels like a cotton thread. You can feel it, but it isn’t stiff or rough.

C – Coarse: Thick strands…shed strands usually are easily identified against most backgrounds. When rolling a strand between your thumb and index finger, coarse hair feels hard and wiry. As you roll it back and forth, you may actually hear it.

Oooh @Trend Edgy. I like that look. I have always like Chrissy’s hair and Eva does that spike Halle thing well too!

I hate detangling! I always keep my hair stretched and it still wraps around itself like a vine. I try to detangle every couple of days.

@OTB

Yes I can see it and hear it if I roll….definitely thinner than thread….

Bibi, somedays it would work better than other days! I could sometimes get two days out of it…just fluff and go without having to re-wet and add product. I hear it is hit or miss for some peeps!
