I must admit that the story of American Idol winner Ruben Studdard taking a bride didn’t peak my interest at all when I first heard it. Despite the fact that my loyal readers sent me pics and info on the couple (Hi Style Razzi), I still had no interest.
I yawned when another of my loyal readers told me she was a friend of the bride and she had the wedding pics to prove it.
It wasn’t until a male industry insider called me yesterday with inside info on Ruben’s new wife that I sat up and took notice. You see, I hate gossip — and men rarely gossip. I’ll wait while you laugh…
If I may continue, the difference between men and gossip mongers (females) is that gossip mongers sit around yakking all day about information that they got from a third party. While men tend to talk about what they know to be fact.
I’m not saying that my readers or Style Razzi are gossip mongers. But my best inside sources tend to be male industry execs. The scoops I get from them always turn out to be rock solid.
So my friend, who in the past hired Zuri to do promotional work for him, called me yesterday because he was shocked that he knew Studdard’s new bride personally. It was a surprise to him that she ended up with Studdard of all people. Apparently she is the talk of the Atlanta industry because she built herself quite a reputation as a loose woman with an agenda.
“Everybody in the industry had her,” said my friend who was quick to point out that he never sampled her goodies. “We worked together,” he reminded me – as if that’s ever stopped him in the past. “She’s beautiful, cute face, tall and thick, but she’s been with every football player,” he continued. “I can’t believe Ruben Studdard married her. Ruben doesn’t even have any money,” he said, implying that Zuri married Studdard for his perceived wealth.
But another friend of Zuri’s assured me that the former flight attendant and music video extra, married Studdard for love. When they wed in front of family and friends in Alabama this past weekend, Studdard became an instant stepfather to Zuri’s daughter from a previous relationship.
All of this loose talk hasn’t escaped Zuri’s attention. She posted this message on her private Myspace page: “Wow…the devil is really at work, but with God first you’ll always come out on top.”
Amen to that.
Shout out to Blackbarbie404 for the pics!
Let ’em be, someone always gotta throw shade on someone else…congrats to Ruben and his wifey.
they look like such a happy couple…the bride should definetly have white on…trick!!!! yep, i said it!!!lol.
Cause Lord knows a heavy brotha can’t marry a decent looking woman unless she’s just out for his money, huh?
People need to get a life!
Good luck to the newlyweds!
She’s really pretty. If Ruben is happy with her then that’s all that really matters. Video chicks need love too!!
ok..i kid..i kid..lol!!! congrats…i’m actually fixing the first round of shots…tequila is on deck!!!
seriously eveyone knows Ruben isn’t rolling in money so it has to be love..I mean those Tip drill checks can’t last forever
It seems like love
Congrats
Congrats to Reuben and his wifey… I do hope he did his homework though so that these pesky rumors can be put to rest… I hope they are not true… Love is beautiful when it’s with the right person.!!! I am miffed at my hubby today ….. UGH
The story is still boring as hell! Marriage isn’t sacred anymore.. Who isn’t getting married? That is more interesting than who is…
I thought people were lying when they said she was in the tip drill video. Wow it is true. Oh well I gues he likes the video chick. I never seen the video was she the one with all the credit card controversy?

~~~now, wait a d*mn minute…this chick was in the “tip drill video”…honey, i was ashamed as a woman when i saw that video…wow!!!!..yep, she’s such a lovely bride!~~~
Only time can tell the real deal.
I think she is a gold digger, because she was working for Air Tran last year, now she’s currently unemployed.
brwn sugga check out 2bme’s comment. I never saw the video uncut came on too late for me.
no, she did not marry him for money because he does not have any. remember?
^^^got you hopefully it’s love and not just tickets to get a seat in the BET Awards next year…i’m just saying!!!^^^
~~the video is just disgusting~~~

lmao!!! so true! but out of all videos to be a video hoe in and she was in tip drill?? them were nothing but skrippers!! omg!!! ruben needs love..has to..who marries a tip driller? so i guess sandra is right..she aint a gold digger..she drills hard for those tips!
She should probably be working- unless she IS WORKING Ruben. Let’s face it people. The loose girls are getting the rings and public acknowledgment as “main” chicks. The Kim Kardashians and Superheads of the world are the new wifey material so if you want to get married- sleep around! LOL i love how she said in the Essence mag interview that she “told him that she didn’t really care for his music but was getting his autograph for her friend.” If she is a golddigger chick…she knew exactly what she was doing. Priceless.
she’s not that cute.
damn. and she chose him? must be love cuz he can’t bring her opportunities. as for wealth; well, that goes without saying. phuck it, i’ll say it. HE’S BROKE.
Zuri is the neice of my mother’s best friend. Don’t know her personally, but I know a lot of her family members, she’s also first cousin to Keith McCants who used to play in the NFL for about 6 years… Sadly he’s now a homeless crackhead who was recently arrested and tasered because he resisted and threw a crack pipe at one of the officers… true story (stop laughing y’all:?) Anyway, I hope it’s lasting love for the newlyweds.
Maybe her wild ways are in the past. Rubben is not the wealthiest brotha in the world so I you can’t really call her a gold digger. Maybe they really love each other. It’s an odd couple, no doubt, but good luck to them.
Imalover
You got me dying over here. The visual on him flinging a crap pipe a the po po is too much to bear.
Sandra your male source is spreading information he got from a 3rd party, since he admits he didn’t sleep with her, so does he qualify as a gossip monger? Come on all y’all alleged hoes need love too. Congrats to them and happy married life.
I’m sorry but ya’ll going to have to call me a hater but this chick is NOT EVEN cute to me. Maybe for Ruben cause he’s a heft somofa …. but that pic of her in the red looks like a straight DRAG-ON (Drag queen) to me. But if he loves her I’m happy for them. I’m mean nowadays with the recession going on niggas will f^ck just about anything with a phat ass and chest, they don’t care if the girls face looks like beetlejuice. So with that I would not be surprised that she was getting passed around like the NY Daily News. Best of luck to them.
I never cared to watch the uncut of anything….but, i looked it up… omg. Thats a skeleton that you will never be able to lock up in the closet. oh my. I feel bad for her if indeed she has changed from being a vixen cause this will haunt her forever. Im sure the video “entertainment” didnt end after the last take. Big ups to Rueben for being willing to fight this fire.
My two cents…the way they met or shall I say the way Ruben became mesmerized by beauty…she was at his ATL cd release signing at a WALMART (Wally World), got her cd signed and walked on bout her business, to the toy aisle (her daughter would explain the toy aisle). Ruben has one of his people track her down wit the quickness, asks for her number and I guess the rest is history.
I would say that she is a pretty normal person, I haven’t heard of many gold diggers shopping at Wally World…I mean sounds normal for ordinary, everyday people to shop there, but Zuri seemed like she was gone bout her business after he signed her cd.
So she has a past. How many of us don’t?
I wish this couple many years of successful wedded bliss!
Made4Success Says: So she has a past. How many of us don’t?
~~~you are absolutely right..however, i want anyone on this site that was in the tip drill video to raise your hands???~~~cause if you were and you are shopping at walmart instead of tarjay…smack yourself..lol!!!~~~
Imalover… Corner now!!! Just for tellin a funny true story!!!
LOL. Imalover, hilarious. DEAD DEAD DEAD. I guess there’s nuttin worse than a pissed off crack head. wow wow wow. The visual alone is priceless, but being there had to be timeless and worth every second.

Writes Brwnsugga4you a pass to the principal’s office! When she is admitted back to class your seat will be in the front of the class beside the teacher’s desk!
LOL.
I meant :
That was so funny !!!
It amazes me how men say that they want a virtous woman, but then run out and marry “hoes” is she a hoe? I really don’t know but when you lie down with dogs you get up with fleas-that video “tip drill” in my opinion would definitely classify as guilty by association.
I hope for his sake she is indeed in love, because if any of this is true it just looks bad plain & simple-the choices you make do in fact reflect on your character and if the general belief is that “video chicks” half dressed and poppin they booties are hoes then why should we think of her any differently?
I can guess why she get’s a pass- but I am not even going to go there today……
oops virtuous

When I first saw the pic of their wedding I felt like something about this marriage ain’t going to be right. I’ve had this same feeling before thoug ohhhh wait a minute I remember this feeling
Usher and Tameka
I guess the standards of what a man wants as his wife has went down pretty low.
Congrats much success Ruben!!

~~~is there any video of this???…h*ll crackheads become famous too…this is america baby!!!~~~
2bme didn’t say she was in the Tip Drill video, she said the tip drill checks don’t last forever.
God, I would hate to know what ppl say about me when I get married… “U know she dated this & that person… I heard her cousin’s best friend’s sister in law smoked weed… Her grandfather is a crazy old man… Her ex left her for Becky so thats why she’s with him…”
Everyone has a past, maybe he was able to see past that & look at the bigger picture: HAPPINESS
2bme: please clarify…was the chick in the tip drill video???
Mocha!!, don’t worry about it…WE GOT CHOO!! as soon as someone blogs something ILL!!! we will blow that S.HIT out the water.
The SAD thing about brothers who have No Game is that it’s so easy for these Hoochie-mamas to get at them… I mean do you know how much ANY woman with a child would have to go through for me to EVEN THINK about marrying them or EVEN moving in with me, Let-Alone to marry them.
And I would hope that women are the same way in regards to being serious or marrying a man with multiple kids by multiple baby-mamas or multiple kids by a woman that he never married…
It takes Time-n-Effort to gain that kind of trust and Faith to go all-the-way to the alter. And I personally don’t think Big Rube did that in this case!!!
She’s in the video the link to the video and the story is on bossip-check it out yourself
Best of luck to them! cause what one hoe eat don’t make me sh#t…..
if you put yourself on blast for the world to see “explicit videos”, then you can expect naturally folks will talk
is she changed…..who knows maybe-but you can’t rep so hard for the good girls one day and then rally for the tricks the next…Oh i forgot she’s a “do right” woman now cause she’s married huh- LOL
I read that she was in the video before 2bme’s comment. It does not take a special ed kid to know that her comment was refering to the video.
Oh man… someone else who I will not promote on this site actually made a clip of the few parts in Tip Drill that she was featured in as well as the “after shoot” footage. She was in there gutta style for real real. ..chick/chick and all that. …Also, a few more (3rd party) memory lane paragraphs with her along side other celebrities. -yikes Man, well… God can do amazing things with people so…. good luck with that one.
You guys have been cutting up since I was at lunch… Is everyone in timeout sitting in the corner?
^^^^Yes, everyone is in timeout watching a slide show of Rocko’s 2nd birthday party!
1st of all to say you didn’t care about their marriage until you found out her past sounds like the words of a BITTER BYTCH. (Sorry my opinion)
2nd. She may not of married him for the money in his bank account but marrying him sure has got ppl talking about her. Knowing her name. Posting her pics. Calling out her resume… when last week we would’ve been like who?
3rd. She isn’t all that pretty. Can’t wait for the book… you know that comes after these hoe’s divorce.
E-Love you must be really special with your game and all.

thanks 2bme for confirming! ah damn..(in my martin lawrence voice) just when you think you’ve hit the jackpot.
well ruben stupid, you can’t marry a video girl or better yet, you can’t turn a hoe into a housewife.
#47… Very interesting comment
Myself IF what they were saying about me was TRUE then it wouldn’t bother in the least, WE all know how messy-individuals are… But if their spreading lies-n-falsehoods about ME then that’s an entirely different situation
IT’S FUNNY HOW PEOPLE CAN BEGIN ALL THE NAME CALLING AND EVEN CALL ZURI A HOE WHEN THEY DON’T EVEN KNOW HER. GOD HAS THE FINAL SAY SO AND HE WILL BE THE LAST TO JUDGE US ALL. WHY CRITIZE SOMEONE YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW? IT’S OK TO MAKE COMMENTS BECAUSE THIS IS A WEBSITE WHERE WE HAVE ALL MADE COMMENTS ABOUT PEOPLE. BUT TO CALL HER A HOE – YEA, IT BOTHERS ME.
ZURI IS A NORMAL AND BEAUTIFUL PERSON. EVERYONE IS NORMAL. WHAT SEPARATES US IS FAME, FORTUNE, ETC. AS AFRICAN AMERICAN PEOPLE WE SHOULD REALLY START PICKING THE BIBLE UP A LITTLE MORE. FORGIVENESS LIES IN GOD’S HANDS.
I’VE YET TO SEE 2 PERFECT PEOPLE MARRY EACH OTHER. WHEN WE ENTER RELATIONSHIPS MANY OF US FIND OURSELVES ACCEPTING EACH OTHER’S FAULTS. TRUE LOVE WILL MAKE YOU DO THAT SOMETIMES AND IT’S OK. PEOPLE CHANGE. WE’VE ALL DONE THINGS THAT WE MAY NOT BE PROUD OF. EVERYONE IS IMPERFECT.
I AM HERE TO DEFEND ZURI BECAUSE SHE IS A BEAUTIFUL PERSON. I WON’T GIVE THIS TOO MUCH TIME BECAUSE – WHY SHOULD I DEFEND A VERY HAPPY PERSON?
BUT JUST KNOW THAT I AM HERE FOR HER AND I AM A MEMBER OF THIS SITE – THEREFORE, I CAN.
DAMN RIGHT – “YES, I CAN”
GOD BLESS ALL OF US ON THIS SITE. I REALLY MEAN IT.
Ok, so you know I had to do my research, unless she can pull an R. Kelly and point to a mole on her butt, that was her in the Tip Drill Video. I know we all make mistakes, but shaking your butt in a Tip Drill video ain’t no mistake, and it damn sure ain’t modeling, dancing, or any other form of artistic impression.
I really hope their marriage lasts. Now for my soapbox….
As a married woman, I feel that people don’t respect marriage like they did in the past. My parents have been married for 30 years. My husband and I are on year 3. Things get tough, and you want to scream, but you have to remember that the vows you took were for better or worse, and not just until the road gets bumpy. I get ill when I think about people getting married one day and divorcing the next. I hope Ruben and his new wife remember that they said i do, till death do them part.
@ # 71- Ok Zuri Girl…we will leave you alone.
umm i wonder if she knew he was going to be at Walmart cuz she got a text from baller alert…. LOL umm regardless of what we say she is pretty and she played the “polyester” teddy bear and got him so kudos to her yall folks kill me about rueben dont have any money HE GOT MORE THAN HER plus his association with AI will surely look good on any resume… for the friend defending her silence is golden if she aint ashamed of her passed hell if i should be but come on tip drill that is slack and say what you want yall know ruby rube love the strippers and video ho’s i am sorry are ALL the chicks in the “A” looking for a come up that place is the land of the “wifey” and baby-momma for stars what yall got in the water all yall in the corner watching rockos b-day party i am coming to join yall where is the kool-aide!!!! you ho’s kill me bringing up God and beautiful person and black people hating and bringing each other down speeches in between the smooth magazine butt poses LOL!!!
i mean pass
Sandra, I called around about this gossip myself and could not believe my ears. I went to school with Zuri, she used to date my brother in high school. Her grandmother kept a very tight rope around her neck. We recently clowned my brother about how, “she knows she’s glad she got over you!” This is so sad, so sad. She was nothing like that in school!
MISERSY LOVES COMPANY.
YOU SEE THAT’S WHAT THE DEVIL DOES – HE LOVES TO START SHIT.
I’M NOT ALL HOLY BUT I DO KNOW THE LORD AND I STRIVE EVERYDAY TO KNOW HIM BETTER.
I THINK YOU HAVE LOW SELF ESTEEM TO CALL ME A HOE AND YOU REAL SMART TO HIDE BEHIND THIS COMPUTER AND DO SO.
BIO STOP!!
Who on here is a Hoe exactly?
No Hoe’s on the “Rose” Boo-Boo Cho.
BOI STOP…oops
this is hilarious…one thing i know you can defend your friend on here…and that’s fine..however, this is a blog used for entertaiment purposes…i’m sure nobody lied or made up the face that she was in “trip drill video” up..now did we???.
I DO BELIEVE I STATED –
WHY CRITIZE SOMEONE YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW? IT’S OK TO MAKE COMMENTS BECAUSE THIS IS A WEBSITE WHERE WE HAVE ALL MADE COMMENTS ABOUT PEOPLE. BUT TO CALL HER A HOE – YEA, IT BOTHERS ME.
____________________________________________________
IF SOMEONE CALLED YOU A HOE AND YOU WERE MY FRIEND….I’D TAKE UP FOR YOU TOO. HELL, WE TAKE UP FOR EACH OTHER ON THIS BLOG AND WE DON’T EVEN KNOW EACH OTHER PERSONALLY.
“made up the fact” …my bad..tell prynexx…don’t kill me for that…lol.

ummm newsflash boo-boo i wasn’t calling you a hoe per say i was discussing ho’s in general because you i mean they all have the same repertoire they all love the Lord, we all make mistakes, nobody’s perfect, black women are crabs in a barrell, they’re all “going to school” they’re all “models” they’re all are so holier than thou…. blah blah blah… but they sitting spread-eagled up in black tail or in your girl’s case azz cheeks in the wind on a tip drill video but alas but we here under the guidance of aunt sandy respect each other’s points and opinions agreeded? and trust me i could give a rat’s left nutz about you or your tip drill azz friend…NEXT
blackbarbie defend Zuri all you want, that’s your choice; however don’t act like Zuri didn’t provide the ammo for these attacks, she did appear on tape in a semi-porn music video. I can appreciate you standing up for your friend, but maybe you should pick your battles more wisely.
ggouch i think a hoe is a garden tool used for digging LMFBAO fitting in this case eh !!!!!

IN NO WAY AM I SAYING THAT’S IT’S NOT OK TO HAVE AN OPINION…EVERYONE HAS THEM. I CAN APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENT – YOU ARE MORE EDUCATED & RESPECTED THAN ALOT ON HERE.

AT THE END OF THE DAY – I COULD REALLY CARE LESS WHAT THESE BUST IT BABIES SAY ON HERE. I STATED MY OPINION AND I’M DONE!

Blackbarbie….
How are you going to come on here and defend Zuri after you sent Sandra her pictures from her Myspace???? …. I’m just saying….That’s just not right….
Congrats to Zuri and Ruben….
this chic went to CAU with me and I just realized that she it was the same Zuri. Wow..I remember when she was just an aspiring model doing College fashion shows and low budget videos. Then I saw her on the tip drill vid (yes that is her with White Chocolate) now she marrying Ruben. I love to see women accomplish their goals..lol! That’s what she wanted all along..she finally caught her one..a BIG one!!
PLEASE, she wasn’t even a fan of his (“she” even stated that)!
She was doing a friend (who is a big fan of his) a favor by going to get something signed because she couldn’t take off that day & that’s how Zuri met him. I know that friend is mad as hell for sending a replacement because that probably could be her husband right now (lol).
Although he may not have big money, she know he has potential to go get some money. BUT if the money don’t start rolling in like it should, we’ll see how long that “true love” last.
