Media tycoon Oprah Winfrey threw her support behind Live With Kelly and Michael‘s host Kelly Ripa, who is livid with co-host Michael Strahan for not telling her he was departing for ABC’s Good Morning America.
Ripa, 45, reportedly learned about Strahan’s decision when everyone else did — on the news.
“Blindsided is never good,” Winfrey, 62, told Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet at the Tribeca Film Festival on Wednesday. “I don’t know who’s in charge, but somebody should’ve said, ‘This is gonna happen.’ You shouldn’t have to read it in the paper. Ever.”
Ripa reportedly took a “sick day” on Wednesday, leaving Strahan to inform their audience that “Kelly’s off today.”
A network source told The Daily Beast that Ripa will be off on Friday and was previously scheduled to be off next Monday.
Winfrey, who signed NBC Anchor Tamron Hall to her Oprah Winfrey Network, is no doubt positioning herself to acquire Ripa’s services if she jumps ship from ABC.
Tell Oprah to hush….if they were that dayum cool, Strahan would have told Kelly personally.
I didn’t know if this story was “real” when I first read it on here.
On a professional level, I think the news should have come from her employer prior to his announcement. I don’t think he was under any obligation to tell his co-worker he got another job. On a personal level, it’s kinda messed up if they really were “cool”. But apparently, they really weren’t sooooo…. get over it.
It would be the professional thing to do. Unless the two of them were conflating their personal lives with their professional ones.
I agree, totally up to management to break the news to Kelly.
Who cares ..PRINCE IS DEAD??????
FAWKKK these two…PRINCE tho.im still there!
thats what the hell im saying..damn these two!
WTF cares…That chic is beyond rich. She will deal and watch her counterpart move up and on.
Kelly has a big a$$ mouth. If Michael’s contract said don’t tell anyone…that included Kelly. Maybe they are not as close as their on screen chemistry suggests. Show biz is fickle.
Oprah must dont watch ‘Survivor’
kelly, grow up. that man owes you NOTHING. u, im quite sure, are guilty of far worse than not extending a courtesy. sit down ? here’s one for u too, oprah ? – congrats michael! w/yo fine gap toothed self ?
Oprah needs to stay in her lane… She blindsided all the Jenny Craigers when she bought into Weight Watchers *drops mic*
Allz I know is, she bet not try and holla “allegations” of any kind later because she’s BIG mad. I can see something like that happening. Mark my words.
LOL!
Lol…wow. That went left quick….
Having a mini Prince concert now. This weekend my entire block will be a part of the concert, they just don’t know it yet.
I’m pretty sure no one cares about this today. Not with Prince dying
Just because you co-workers don’t mean you cool like that to be knowing people bizzness.
Right?! ???
I just saw Prince has died… Now somebody please confirm
This was a Devil Wears Prada Move.
It always does in here. Folks in they feelings about Prince and this here chick mad because she wasn’t the first to know. That man owes you nothing. Like I said yesterday…. A REAL G would own the show. Ask for more money. Get them coins. Become the yt Oprah. Something instead of sitting there throwing a fit. Bitch will be out of a job before they bow down to her. She makes $36,000 AN HOUR! Matter of fact, since she wants to be childish…let’s switch places and see how she’ll survive. She gone end up childish and broke. Keep playin’.
Cnn and Huffington Post have confirmed
It’s downstairs.
Just because you co-workers don’t mean you cool like that to be knowing people bizzness. Did he invite you to his bar-b-ques, sleep-overs, dinners with the family? Nope – therefore you not cool people.
Its funny how loosely you use the term “co-worker” to describe this particular situation. It ain’t like they were working at Target together. They co-hosted a national Live network morning talk show together for 4 years, in front of millions of people everyday.
Trust me when I leave this place of employment……….my co-worker(s) is going to find out from my supervisor.
I don’t owe that hoe NOTHIN’!
Don’t nobody care what Oprah has to say. I’m not here for being blindsided either, but truth be told, if Kelly got tired of Michael and she wanted him to be replaced, they probably wouldn’t have alerted him either. They would’ve disabled his key cards and had security escort him to and from his office to get his things and then chucked the deuces.
How she gonna be mad about this man getting his COINZ????????
That is some real hate. Aint that what she doing? Getting paid!!!!
The funny thing is it all boils down to entitlement. No matter how cool they are…they can’t escape that innate sense of entitlement.
My Director just hired a contractor without telling me, I wonder if I can throw a fit. I’m going to try after I finish eating. (**not really**)
Lol. I didn’t see it coming.
I just saw logging out for a while … Ttyl
Upon further thought, I think Michael is a coward. The professional thing to do is to keep others informed. Now, his new gig is tainted. Why not be a professional man and exit properly? Burning bridges is what immature career-disoriented people do. You want to stay going up in your career. It may not cost him now, but this little stunt may create distrust with new people that has to work with him.
Hence why I said I can see her pulling a stunt…..and maybe I should change to word rape to “allegations” so it doesn’t bother anybody.
Ms. WINFREY. That grown man is handling his business. Employment is at will, unless yiur have written contract expressing so or if that law says otherwise.
Duesces Kelly, that man has the right to triple his income and stock options.
besides he got tired of screwing you, at least she acted like they was fuggn.
Girl bye
They were still co-workers so the term is quite accurate. He owed her nothing. It would have been a courtesy. The end.
All I know is, Stabler left SVU and he and Bensonwere partners for like 15years and he didn’t tell her he was leaving and not coming back. I didn’t see her throw a fit…and not show up for work the next day.
That’s not how any of this works…
On topic: Michael obviously had a REASON that he didn’t tell her.
My gma always told me —never tell anybody ALL of your business.
The “professional” thing for her to have done– would’ve been to wish him well…and keep it pushing. What..he had to tell Miss yt lady he was leaving to get her blessing or something??? Kelly fck yo feelings…ole entitled feeling a$$ beeech!!!!
RIP Prince.
PRINCE has passed away. Nobody gives a shyt about your sad story Kelly. Get over it. Focus on your blessings, you have PLENTY.
Its not that serious , he quit ..Stop being so emotional & get yo bony ass back to work
Lol. I’m not bothered… I was just being humorous. IT was shocking to see but I don’t disagree.
Pink Cashmere, Adore, Scandalous, Baby I’m A Star. I can’t sing through my sniffles.
I would NOT keep folks (co-workers) informed because they run their mouths around HERE too much. And just for the reason you said…..they TAINT shit. HE did exit properly, but I don’t think he answers to HER! Yall should have seen how they just treated this chick two weeks ago when she put in her resignation. Told her they “wasted their time training her” and that she “OWES” them. But they only scheduled her THREE days out of the month. How is she supposed to feed her family? And that was MANAGEMENT that said that to her.
#truth
Also, I have a pair of spectacles like Ofra’s.
It’s funny how mad yt people get when black people switch jobs, get paid more, etc. They really forget they don’t “own” you…
THIS! Told my daughter… “Never let ppl know your next move. Show and prove. Underestimate me and I WILL embarrass you.”
i have a pair of spectacles like Ofra’s.
All I have to share here. RIP Prince
Yes, I understand that. Give them too much time and they can act a fool. But he could’ve told her at least the day before. From a management point of view it does suck training people and then losing them. However, unless you put it in their contract all you can do is accept the fact. There is no reason to berate the person leaving.
Exactly! So they pull STUNTS and shit.
Real Gs move in silence…
I think they look nice with BIG hair.
Erotic City too…not to mention that HAIR (gif)
Hi Dear…been meaning to respond. Mauh
:hugs:
Girl, I would tell you my story, but like you said, sometimea you gotta move in silence.
“Sometimes it snows in April. Sometimes I feel so bad, so bad. Sometimes I wish that life was never ending. But all good things, they say, never last.”
I would put gum in your hair for not responding…but I’m too upset about Prince.
#yougotlucky
They will try and block your move.
Even if she didn’t mean it.
His new gig is not tainted. They are the ones that told him to keep his mouth shut. Disney is Kelly’s boss too. His full time hours on GMA start in September so this is plenty of notice. He is exiting properly, she just didn’t get an exclusive personal heads up.
I’m not sure what Stabler or Bensonwere is, but if you are referring to SVU the tv show, thats a taped, edited, rehearsed show that airs weeks sometimes months later. Kelly and Michael is live! And on a Tuesday. Its shady on the part Michael. Even if they are not friends, theres a certain level of decency and professionalism that is expected. Forget about courtesy. Courtesy is when you get a free cup of water from burger king.
I don’t think his bridges are burned. Km sure he spoke to his employer..He’s giving more than 2 weeks notice, more than 2 months notice…. what is the standard notice in your industry?
I really don’t have anything to say. I’m honestly in shock. Prince and my momma the same age.
Erotic City is my fave.
ABSOFREAKINLUTELY!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve had coworkers do the same to me. I won’t lie..it stung a little that they didn’t trust me to keep mum…but I quickly got over it and sincerely wished them well.
Conversely—I’ve also known wayyy in advance that I was about to leave jobs..and didn’t tell NOBODY—you can be as buddy buddy as you want with a coworker..and still not tell them your EVERY move.
Build a bridge and get over it beech.
Sniffles

Or to a buffet. I’m sure Auntie Okra can recommend a good one. And I LOVE me some Okra Winfrey, but I’m acting out right now.
Cuz everyone that says they’re your friend ain’t yo friend. Or they are only your friend until they can capitalize on not being your friend. Learned that the hard way.
Mine too LZ. He was also the same age as MJ which is why they were always compared since they were so different to me.
I liked MJ. I loved Prince.
I was just about to type that. This reeks of that “Why didn’t he tell me he was leaving the plantation?!” type chit.
FDB
Everybody acting out and shit. LOL
“Some things should be kept between you and God.” -Mama Butter
Kelly is acting like they were lovers, and he didn’t consult her before making a decision
KELLY is making the spectacle, not him. He went through the proper channels, I’m SURE.
“Save something for Jesus” MamaZoe
Chileeee…I WISH a mf WOULD try me tah-day!!!
I went ALLL the way left on a coworker that called MJ a “child molester who was better off dead” when word got to our office that he had died. So right about now? TUH!
#dontpushmecuzimclosetothaedge
I loved them both. I was able to listen to MJ more based solely on the content. I wouldn’t say that I’m fanatical or a fan of many artists, but I’m definitely a fan of them both.
YT women privilege. FDB
I ? their wisdom.
If your boss offered you a full time job (that you really want)with a Huge salary increase & told you not to tell anyone would you breach your contract & tell the person that sits next to you at work?
Yup…..I had to learn after getting burned too many times confiding in folks that I THOUGHT I could trust.
Like I said…Michael S. must’ve had his reasons.
I seen how my coworker did HER friend here. Told ALL that girls business. Talking bout “IDK what to tell folks when they ask me…” I said “Tell them to ask HER!” I knew THEN, I wouldn’t tell that bitch NOTHIN’ when I depart.
2 YEARS ON MY MAMA…HER FAVORITE ARTIST TOO. I ENDED UP JACKING THE HITS 1 & 2 FROM HER
You seem big mad and I don’t want to be petty and continue to use you as a source of amusement. So, I will just say that you are entitled to your opinion, as am I.
Kelly Ripa was also upset that Regis didnt tell her when he retired. She needs to accept this is what the hell happens. The powers that be dont want it to leak. They are a NEWS org. Nobody hates to be scooped more than a NEWS org. When we had layoffs at the newspaper, somebody called the TV station (the one we DID not partner with) and blabbed and our Publisher (a brotha) went the entire fawk OFF. Shutcho ass UP Kelly.
http://www.celebitchy.com/136380/kelly_ripa_blindsided_by_regis_sudden_retirement_announcement/
In the meantime PAH-RINSE is fawking dead.
Exactly.
I feel you. I got these young bucks round me talmbout so what. Im trying to be a Gentleman but probably gon have to quietly and professionally SNAP ON DEY AZZ!!!
THIS! WE COWORKERS AND ALL, BUT YOU AIN’T GOT MY BEST INTEREST AT HEART ANYMORE THAN I DO YOURN. THIS WAS STRAIGHT UP BUSINESS AND SHE CANNOT BE MAD ABOUT THAT. SHE NEEDS TO BE HAPPY SHE’S STILL GAINFULLY EMPLOYED AND WAIT ON HIS DAMN REPLACEMENT.
CALL UP THE HOMIES FOR A GUEST HOST EVERY WEEK TIL THEN…CHIT.
They gave that girl OTJ training. Nobody had to put in extra for her to learn this shit. Wasn’t like they sent her out on the road or put her up in a hotel or scheduled seminars or folks stayed late or came in early for her. She learned by watching. So basically they threw her in the pool and told her to swim. THAT is not proper training. AND they wouldn’t give her any hours. I would leave too. My family won’t starve because THEY want to spoon feed me.
You are probably right. I’m looking back on what I would’ve done differently. I burned a lot of bridges in my day when I could’ve just been civil and not gave a damn what others said or thought. Once a new contract (sealed job offer) is in hand, there is nothing anyone can do about it. And if my current employer tried to do anything I would sue because the new employer would have to say why they rescinded the offer. Kelly probably thought they were friends. I doubt she has that much pull in the industry. Media uses you up and spits you out.
See I’m not gonna in on my girl because she’s been a BOSS/OWNER for decades so she might have forgotten that you don’t owe your coworkers shit. It would have been nice had she been told but so would a million dollars ?
I LEARNED THAT THE HARD WAY TOO VONN
My best friend and I wanted to be Diamond and Pearl ???.
I hate wen ppl brag on something they ain’t got or talk louder than they’re actions ..In my experience it has always been best for me to move quietly , you just never know ..everybody that’s saying they praying for you & hope you get that new job , ain’t really praying for the best for you
Is what I suggested.
Michael Homebone, is the biggest coon in America. Yall cheer leading for his vanilla loving ass.
Well, apparently, based on what I was just told, they were more than co-workers. I don’t know what the next level of coworker is… I guess its co-worker squared. So he should have told her because…they were more than co-workers… because they worked together for four years….
Lol. Not to mention the hits he’s penned for others. Listen, I feel like I lost a good ole friend.
And (since I’m in a surly mood already)
See how Kelly is acting right now? THAT’s probably why he didn’t confide in her ass. How is your first and seemingly ONLY reaction to a coworker’s advancement….be about YOU????
Selfish dried up heaux
My stomach hurts…
That’s not true. I put you on, and you don’t respect me enough to tell me u moving on. Buck please
Moms always told me ” never let yo left hand , see what the right hand doing…’ I didn’t understand that until I matured..I tell ppl only what I want too.
Michael would have been BREACHING whatever the fugg ABC told him to DO.
Why Oprah minding their business? She want the spot on the low? I’m kind of salty at Oprah right now for canceling Raising Whitley but keeping all Tyler Perry’s horrible acting slow @ss moving scripted shows. Also for ???gate
How one day y’all BFFs and the next they hating because you did something without them.
Management sounds very unprofessional. They wanted to use her at will (saving labor hours by giving her few and making others work harder, I’m sure) but expected her to stay loyal. Employment loyalty is dead because everyone knows that management will treat you like you are disposable.
I do like his If Loving You Is Wrong show. It’s a soap opera.
LOL. Mama Butter would have all of us belting out that song on a Saturday morning. You couldn’t tell us that we weren’t putting on a first-class show by singing into brooms, mops, and feather whisks?
+1000. We are the same person today.
THIS! YT fish coworker told me she couldn’t/didn’t want to be happy for the friend that was leaving. And I knew THEN, bitch you won’t know SHIT about my next move.
MTV playing Prince videos
:nod:
Sometimes the best indicator of how somebody will treat you?…is how they treat somebody ELSE.
I KNEW THIS WAS COMING!!!!! I JUST EFFIN KNEW IT…SCORNED ARSE
Kelly should be upset with him if he was her friend but you still gotta go to work and do your job. You’re contracted to do that.
thank you…..And I’m not mad at all. At the end of the day, I could care less about these two people. I don’t even watch the show.
WHICH ROSE SAID THAT? EVERYBODY AIN’T PRAYING FOR YOUR GOOD OUT HERE…SOME FOLKS WANT YOU TO FAIL.
Hold me! I cried, my co-workers looked at me like I was crazy. I feel like we grew up together…”When Doves Cry”
Exactly!
Chile…no matter how happy they act/seem…some folks…smh.
I worked at one place where a coworker advanced to a much better job…do you know another hatin ass employee…called the woman’s new job trying to bad mouth her???
Everybody that smiles in your face does NOT have your best interest at heart!
#asmileisjustafrownturnedupsidedown
Never watched that 1 or Love Thy Neighbor. Only that other 1 with Tika Sumpter until midway 2nd season. It was taking too long. Is it worth the minutes on my day?
*The Haves and Haves Not* just remembered
I think that people are forgetting that she is NOT his employer. They are colleagues…co-hosts. There may be a personal bridge burnt, but I can’t help but wonder how close they were. Because if they were really close and he was unable to tell her because of his contract, I would think that as a “friend” and a fellow entertainer/anchor she would understand his position and not act the way she is acting.
He is fine professionally. The execs aren’t acting pissy and claiming to have not had notice…
SPEAK! When you make 20M a year she needs to STFU. He didn’t owe her ish her managers did and he said they told him not to say nothing. They make changes on our job all the time and sometime the give us heads up and sometimes they don’t. I just work for them!
Me too.
Do it anyway ???
Michael Jackson is legendary too. Obviously. Remember The Time is the last thing of his I loved. Prince just moved me more. He was so damn flamboyant and REAL. Man ?
Where is @Readytochokemothernatureonout? We were JUST discussing something last night. I hope you’re doing well today, in spite of the circumstances.
Yeah Learnt that about age 5. Sometimes I’v slipped. But the devil cant stop whats yours. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ecb118286081011fdae20b6c3fca97cfdd4c058287c69bf527bd82c2cfc924bb.gif https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5c6dabe3992b422e08266879923d4d1e57893e6f7d6ccf39e632445288836bda.gif
????????
(see gif pls)
Ripa and her longtime executive producer Michael Gelman found out
just a few minutes before the move was announced by ABC, according to
two sources who were involved. Neither of them were happy about it, according to numerous reports.
Ultimately it was ABC’s decision to wait until Tuesday morning to tell Ripa and Gelman.
Just like LAST time with Regis. Bish. STFU and sit down.
Agreed totally.
Prince music etc got my juices going ?
I didn’t know Raising Whitley was canceled
LOL! I love that gif.
When u were told…exactly. whispers
10k an hour for a 40 hr week. damn that makes me so sad
They was getting on my nerves after awhile. That damn village ?but I did watch from time to time

Sit down Kelly, gotdamnit my nerves is bad.
This is really why this bish is mad. Stop your MESS Kelly.
The move has also spurred new speculation about an old idea — that
ABC News could expand “GMA” to three hours, from 7 to 10 a.m., in much
the same way that NBC has a third hour of the “Today” show.
A third hour of “GMA,” with Strahan and other hosts, would step on Ripa’s “Live,” which airs at 9 a.m. in most markets.
? I guess she ain’t got no bills to worry about…
And today I truly don’t care if she returns or not.
??
Man. Y’all still get paid MILLIONS right? Get. Over. It. Bytches.
Yep!
Lmao , girl big O need to fix that ho some corn bread
? I ate pizza for lunch instead of my daily 4lb salad ???
+1 times 2 many the same.
Become the yt Oprah
^^^^^^^^^
Kelly isnt going to get far bc unlike ALL these other folks this bish is NOT a real journalist. Mike got lucky from his sports connects. She not getting but so lucky on what soap connects? Umm NO. She knows she is fukked. That is why she is really big mad.
The village was out of damn order. Everyone wanted a say and stayed in their feelings. This 1 didn’t care for that 1. Like just raise the damn boy and stfu. It made me laugh though. Especially this last season when the fish died because he got fed breakfast, lunch and dinner???? It was more feel good fun then ratchet. #AllAboutTheBalance
I saw a meme a couple of weeks ago that had MJ and Prince in it. I said something along the lines of, “The only dudes who can steal your girl while wearing her clothes.” #Truth
I’M NOT MESSING UP MY OWN COIN BY TELLING YOU EITHER…DAMN THE RESPECT AT THAT POINT BECAUSE YOU WON’T PAY MY BILLS WHILST I LOOK FOR ANOTHER JOB.
I made a major job change in Sept. Same company though. I knew about the change back in May. I was not allowed to say anything to anyone until everything had been approved. I asked my boss right before I moved if I could tell my team, she said if you do, you can turn in your resignation. So I maintained silence. When I did tell my team and others about a month later, they were salty at first, but so what. We’re cool, but my job wasn’t worth that. They got over it soon enough. Who knows what Michael was told to say or not say. I was cool with my team, but I don’t put anything past people. Wouldn’t want anyone sabotaging my moves.
Girl..when I tell you that I feel like I knew Prince personally?
One of my fav songs was a “B” side hit “17 days.”
I played the chit outta that song.
“All I’ve got ..is 2 cigarettes…and this broken heart of mine…
Let the rain come down…let the rain come down..let the rain come down down…”
And don’t ask me how many times I kissed the album cover below.
The only man that could crawl naked out of a bathtub and on the floor without me saying “Wtf is wrong with your crazy azz? Get up and get a towel dayum weirdo.”
I JUST HATE THAT IT’S ALWAYS BEEN SOMEONE I’M DOWN TO RIDE FOR…HURTS LIKE HAIL
You have to make sure YOU are good. Learn from Shannon and have your own back??
the same way you blind sided Steadman the first time he found out u and Gayle Winfrey was eating each other’s box? Shut up oprah Kelly will be ok. If she want to be in the loop then she need to hire her hubby and get it over with.
Let me scrounge up some change for the vending machine. The news about Prince got me depressed.
Off Topic
If’n you Squint ?your eyes and look up too real fast it looks like EJ
LOL!!!!
I don’t even like pizza but want it so so so bad. I’m trying to be good. I think I’m going to fail? #TryAgainTomorrow

When I left my job I didn’t tell anyone but my manager and that was better for me I don’t like a lot of people in my personal life. He’s not obligated to tell even if they were friends. Business is business. She found out just like everyone else. She may feel a little blindsided but that’s no reason to put your own job in jeopardy by not showing up.
One of my all time favorites
And THIS is exactly what IT IS! They (management) are gone RIGHT NOW, CURRENTLY for TWO DAYS to learn “proper management”. Their survey’s FAILED amongst their employee’s. Downright LOW! And they are trying to “fix it” now. Too late.
DO it.
Yup…or get em drunk
I needed that. Jesus I just yelped so damn loud. Thank you sis. My GOD.
Yup. Drunk mind speaks a sober heart.

Thing is sis she DOES know. Comes to find out the exact same thing happened with Regis. He didnt tell her til last minute too. So her ass knows how this goes down. They legally cannot say nothing to your stick figure under nourished ass. So shut it bitch.
?? wonder watt her fine hubby is thinking about right now… ??
Yumyo!

I mean you know (stereotype coming) then Latin mens can get jealous and wonder why hail you sobbing and crying over Mike ?
It doesn’t have anything to do with him not telling her, its about her NOT GETTING THE DIK ANYMORE, AND GETTING NEW PUNANI FROM THE NEW LADIES AT GMA. LOL
Ppl keep glossing over that. If Gma’s ratings don’t pick up with Michael working full time they would have been able to come back & say you breached your contract by telling Kelly. He covered his a$$ by not telling her, with her big a$$ mouth.
Im going to get these kids some pizza. And me some likka. Its Thursday. I will be late or no show tomorrow. Library man trying to bring his ass over cause he come over every Thursday. No nookie tonight fool. Prince is gatdamn dead. Exactly what Imma say. I dont feel like it. Why? Cause Prince is dead thats why. *gonna tie my hair down an go to sleep in that Im sleep dont touch me pose*
See! I ain’t know that. She def needs to shut up!
Kelly shut up my nerves is bad https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e62c1a953958387db2227dd4908a9976e3348b23d8c9d2a49e447d07f45c7196.gif
I agree nobody should be blindsided but I’m talking about all the Prince texts that caught me off guard. Kelly get over it
rich white people problems you mean
The Pose ?? Like this? ???
My favorite kind of hugs ??
…
Good luck with that. He’ll just offer to sex you with Prince on the iPod in tribute. Men don’t care.
Who playing the best video blocks
Yep. Facing away. Legs closed with pillow in betwixt.
dont gorge on chocolates. the dopamine high aint worth the extra calories. teehee
Hiding not much interest in dealing with people these days. Yeah sad to hear about Prince.
When we be makin’ love
I only hear the sounds
Heavenly angels cryin’ up above
Tears of joy pourin’ down on us
They know we need each other
They know U are my fix
I know, that U know that I ain’t cheatin’ baby
They know this is serious
I ain’t fuckin’ just 4 kicks, no
This condition I got is crucial, crucial baby
U could say that I’m a terminal case
U could burn up my clothes
Smash up my ride, well maybe not the ride
But I got 2 have your face
All up in the place
I used to feel so sorry for Kathy Gifford’s hubby. That man must’ve had the patience of a saint.
the memo is already circulating: http://thehardtimes.net/2016/04/21/all-sex-canceled/
Library man done already got these breaks before. He know he better STFU and go to sleep.
Maybe EBT can get the tribute right since they have 2 months and some days.
Thanks for this @Yes. I appreciate you. I am going to send him this text at 6 pm. Nigga I CAINT. Prince is DEAD.
Not laying down.
You having a moment huh….
Nah, he was busy cheating. He was unbothered.
LOL..chile Okra ain’t sharing no type of bread with nobody. Maybe Gail…but eem then, it’d be a lil piece. LOL
I dont know whether to laugh or cry
Yep..his music was the background of many fond memories.
When I had cable Vh1 soul lol
I’ve lost my appetite for real. I’m about to take to the bed like a Victorian lady. I want these people to leave me alone for a minute.
True.
A dude will be like: “So much of Prince’s music was about sex and sensuality. Let’s have sex in honor of Prince.”
I’d like to think that I’m a man of exquisite taste
A 100% Italian silk imported Egyptian lace
But nothing baby, I said nothing baby could compare
To your lovely face
Me either lol.
The national inquirer set him up good.
Don’t nobody give a goodt got damn bout Kelly ass when PRINCE done damn managed to die.
Mess around and have a Prince or a Princess. He’s the reason I can’t rally have music playing during nookie. “My friend” was grind, grind, grind, grinding whilst listening to Darling Nikki and missed the double tap that means get up before I get you pregnant.
*crosses skinny fingers*
We know why she big mad! Have you seen the show? Always in Michael’s face or hands on him, even when her husband is there. THAT’S why she’s mad, lol
Oh my goodness lololol
Thank you. I’m recording Centric and Mtv
Me too smh I can’t believe this
Those lyrics, there will never be another..
OR Be hunching the back of your thigh, or some bykefat, or where the elbow bends. Men’on care
I will be waiting on BET Soul formerly VH1soul at the doe for my videos tonight. I need to get all my Prince glory by my damn self.
Prince would want you to hunch hun!!
Well 1977- 2001 Prince
This kid just came in here from school talking about literally the dumbest shyt I’ve heard all week…and that’s counting the fyucktards in here. That other one keeps asking me how to make a friggin pesto naan pizza like it takes advanced mathematical skill to figure out. Dragon4 told them to leave me alone because the Prince died. I only like him right now.
O to the N to the D to the Pearls of Love
Shit heffa I done left my job. Boss call my ext. Is PRINCE dead. Told his ass yes and I’m bout to go I am in damn mourning. Picked up my purse and left his ass justa laughing.
IKR..I don’t want no company, console by text message
I have the orginal purple 45 vinyl record.. now that’s some love for Prince!!!!!(some of u may not know they’re were records before cd’s)lolololol
You can say she put him on but …it’s not true! He got that job because he tested well. The nignog, is good on TV. Kelly saw it, the bosses saw it and GMA saw it too. Keep it real, if they were bffs don’t you think he would have told her? I know I would tell my bff…now would I tell someone I the industry who is capable of being jealous of my new job? Nah son…I got real friends at home for that. I announce to Co workers when I feel like it. Kelly is concerned about her ratings, summer vacation and replacing Mike with someone just as good or better…she ain’t worried about personal betray by Mike.
Hell no, I wouldn’t tell nobody. Not mama, my priest or therapist. Get your money, Michael.
Now if I just had a record player to play it on….
Boooo *throws em byke*
I put this in the other post…and Imma put it here too….
The man’s body ain’t eem cold yet…and ALREADY folks are talking about he had HIV, didn’t take his meds..blah blah blah.
Who the fck raised you–dingos??? Show some respect. Is any of this inept speculation going to bring him back???? A mighty musical legend has fallen..and all you can do is gossip about what you heard he “really” died of????
FOH
His Royal Badness can express it better than I can… (gif)
Oprah is being shady.
They better back off him….
LOL. Picking the needle up extra gently as not to scratch it. I used a bookmark to save the spot and never took out more than one record at once. Let me text Mama Butter and tell her, since I think the statute of limitations on whoopings have passed.
Pandora keep fcking with me Vanity 6, Purple one Marvin Gaye and Teena mix like I can’t even jam like I want to. We lost all of them
I’m going to the store after work. Get me some purple clothes I’m in mourning
Ima hafta up my package I already cleared the dvr.
I was jamming to some Teena Marie earlier this morning. Love her!
I still aint accepting he has left? Somebody spoke to the coronors office?
?? I laughed at my own self
I forgot about money don’t matter ????
That damn channel gives me life. Every day I tune in.
skinny?!?!?
Say that and word on the streets is she forced Regis out and he put her on. Regis says Kelly and him don’t talk but him and Kathy do.?
I agree, she is too butthurt for some reason, she definitely showing signs that she had samples of Strahan’s D. She probably knew she couldn’t save face in front of the viewers/audience after the announcement that’s why her skeletor a$$ didn’t show up yesterday! lol
Kelly wants a better job but nobody is giving her an offer
Pandora can get on the nerves. My daughter claims it never messes up for her. Let me pass up one song and I’m stuck with a commercial. It also seems like the want to play the lesser known songs of artists that I choose.
Yeah…I forgot about that.
I am just now seeing this….LAWD
:faint:
Take to the bed like a Victoria lady…I got tears.
Lets say he did die from AIDS? So what? Were you fawking him? Paying his medical bills? It ain’t yo business. Would you want someone speculating over your death?
LOLOLOLOL
Girl, most people that need & want a job wouldn’t. You follow what your boss says…not a co-worker.
NEVER! I asked Lil Butter if he knew who Beyonce was since I found it peculiar that a little boy in his class asked me the same question. He had a perplexed look on his face then said no. I just turned up the radio and we both began to sing “How Come U Don’t Call Me Anymore?”
Maybe the Vanity death shook him hard. Damn…is this real?
Me and my lil bro got in a huge fight. Cause he spilled pepsi on my 16.00 Prince book. I still have my Prince posters. Hell purple is favorite color, they were my wedding colors. gotta go…my stomach hurts.
Dr. EVERYTHINg wiLL be alright
Will make everything go wrong
Crazyyyyyyy
I think Ripa knew a new position was open and didn’t get it and is now doing her little boycott
I wonder why would she be mad if her show is successful?
I wonder also if her show is about to be cancelled and Michael was quicker than her to move to a much deserving position? …
I’m distraught that he’s gone. I could care less about what he died from. I’m not going to let that overshadow his contributions.
That is what I was thinking also
I have Samsung music….its my everything….
That’s the channel I fall asleep to. Really be singing in my mind so sleep rarely happens quickly. They had Mimi soul story and BAYBAY ???I.GOT.MY.ENTIRE.LIFE
Whatchu know about The Family? “Screams of Passion” will forever be one of my all-time favorite songs.
Yup.
Exactly. Kelly ain’t loyal. She took probably live and didn’t tell folk at All my children.
You gotta be quicker than that. lol
Then she should try to create her own
????
They always give me life. Live my damn childhood every day there ?
I never have issues with them. I also have 100 stations so my music choices are more broad. Only on my phone I will get commercials. About three or so an hour
I’ve got to add that immediately.
That’s my aunt in my mind
I worked with a real friend in the past. We went to dinner/happy hour after work. I told her “today” was my last day there. She laughed, said dam, & asked if there were any more openings. We are still friends to this day. Like you said business is business.
I’ve cleared my dvr because most of these videos you couldn’t even see hardly.
Lawddd!! Prince had so many hits. I forgot about How Come U Don’t Call
Grandma cookies
Please do so you can get your life daily
I love when they do a 30 minute artist block. They’ll play stuff you forgot an artist did.
Something to make us smile.
She’s as loyal as her options are.
Chile….
Now I gossip too…just like other folks.
But some chit is just off limits….or should be, especially NOW.
I mean…the man JUST died.
KMA
maybe Oprah will, she riding with her!
The left picture was printed out and taped to the wall of my freshman dorm room! Yes, Lawd!!!!! Loved his midget self!
Bye Kelly. Showing your entitlement honey…No one is obligated to tell a co worker their business. I heard Regis did her did her the same way.. Makes you say hmmm
Or when they do different artist but same theme. Whoever programs that channel needs a high five.
Whether or not he is a coon ain’t the issue, the issue should he have f-up his money for a coworker is.
Scrumptious LOL
He does a plant based diet. I’m leaning towards that myself. Won’t be a 100% but definitely at least 70%
Did you know that 80% is considered Raw?
I was happy as hail when I found that out.
Who the fck raised you–dingos???
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Yep that Or wolves.
WHALE no time like thee present to say how much the V&V Roses are loved and adored…
I’ve loved you since the beginning.
Me and Harlem listen to her every day. Its a reason Harlem is my e-wife and why Teena is my gravi.
Expound hun. I think I’m on the same page just want to make sure.
I just said this. *hugs ya tight*
Ii done watched that interview 5011 times
Still fine. Chit, looks better at 40
What is a dingo *hugs ya tight*
You had me at hello.
Right, she ?
I got to get on that.
I am
Going thru it now. Good news, I’m at a place where I’d rather rock by myself versus keeping the wrong ppl just to say I have ppl around.
I pay to skip the commercials. They have a partnership with TMobile. I can pay $3 a month to skip.
Everybody does… have some tact about yourself and activities.
she’s playing it wrong it that’s what she wants. she should maintain her professionalism, no matter what. show up like she gonna love that job whether he goes or stays. who’s going to hire her for a new gig after seeing her behavior at her current gig? they gonna say ‘she not loyal’ …what she should be doing is working right along with the producers to fill that spot (and try to get her husband in that other chair) Lol! now, if they reject hubby, that’s when you stage your little protest. if they’re concerned they may give him a test run and it’s on him to bring the viewers. *shrug*
OWN THAT CHIT!
Me too! Throwing snacks
I thought Oprah was E.J.
crabs in the barrel mentality…this is why black folks can’t build shit…bet you would
She wants all of the attention. Let him enjoy is new success…so typical
I left my job and only told a few by the time word got out, it was my last day. He didn’t have to notify her that he would be leaving, only management. She probably mad cause she wanted to be the first to leave.
AND I’M SUREBYOU WOULD TOO
A lot of stuff shouldn’t happen but it does. Deal with it and move on. Kelly isn’t signing his checks, Oprah isn’t either. I don’t know why Kelly thinks she should have been told but Michael apparently didn’t feel the same. Let it go Kelly and the media should too.
How did Kelly put him on tho? He had been a guest co host many times. He interviewed like several others. Including her husband, if she putting anyone on it needs to be him
Right…..Let Kelly tell it, Regis did her the same way
thank you
How is he a coon?
That’s exactly what I said. She acts like she’s more into him than she was into her husband.
Oprah looks like EJ in this picture.
Here comes my belt. Why you say that? Lmfaooo sholl do.
Sowwy!
I heard she was a bish. It’s his business. I’m tired of white people getting mad when a black man gets his money. They acted that way towards Lebron. She needs to settle down and come get her 15 million dollars a year. She gonna be okay with her net worth of 100 million. BTW why doesn’t she eat something??? Skinny azz.
Lmao
He had already said he was leaving though, so I am lost on this story.
WW ally .. out of touch narcissistic .. caped CRUSADER .. GTFOH ..fat ass trash box explain why OWN’s viewership is 90% black and YOUR STAFF has less than 10% of people of color on payroll ..KELLY SCARECROW ass just mad cuz strayhan was giving her the dick to get put on and he bust a jack move on her ass.. bish know she likes to keep a lil dark meat on the side cuz her gay ass husband like boy pussy
GTFOH ASK oprah WHY She not putting any OTHER BW on and steady mammying for BECKY ..
Isn’t Regis publicly speaking in favor of Kelly regarding this lack of communication?
NOPE
Yeah, now he is but before he said they don’t talk.
Learn how to spell with your ignorant ass. You really told me in CAPS, yo.
AND I’M ALSO SURE YOU CAN SEE THE ‘B’ RIGHT ABOVE THE SPACE BAR…THAT’S WHAT I DO – CAPS IS MY THING. IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT, I REALLY COULD CARE LESS. PLEASE GO BE AN IMBECILE ELSEWHERE.
Yet you left it there…. You don’t have spell check or you using one of those old school joint where you have to push mad buttons to spell a word? lol, go read a book
YOU FIRST…PLEASE FIND A HOBBY. YOU GOT THE WRONG ONE ON THE WRONG DAMN DAY…
Your heart beating fast, yo!? You mad lol
comical
You are an ass. Find somewhere else to troll
Go find some bidness.
Yours probably is.
Glad she could give you a chuckle. Move along now.
Who the hell here up voted this fukk ass comment?
says the person who decided to make my comments their business… go find a dictionary
I’m actually a wordsmith.
Vocabulary gifted.
You go find you one. Bring back a thesaurus as well
I tried, sorry I couldn’t help you out!
I DON’T FIGHT FAIR…YOU’D BE BETTER OFF MOVING ALONG AS AFOREMENTIONED.
100. FLAGS EVERYWHERE…I’M COMING BACK UPSTAIRS!
Fight fair? You gonna bust a keyboard cap in my behind, what. Go take a walk, I can tell your heart is still beating fast…Take too many colors with you. Yall can be mad together…yall are HILARIOUS
or you gonna go from typing in caps to using a bigger font? what?! lmao
You got 24, “make it enough.” ~Smokey mama from Friday voice LOL
Oprah looking like “EJ”
Oprah hush! You need to send Tyler back to school with that elementary ass writing he does. 0_o
The powers that be at Disney knew she would spaz which is why they made Micheal keep it to himself. They knew she couldn’t be trusted with that intel too soon. Not saying it’s right, but it’s the industry.. She knows deep (probably not even that deep) in her heart that if she had known sooner she would’ve messed up everyone’s plans. They railroaded her ass out of necessity.
Lookin like EJ.
Me either!!! I go for the jugular!!
#inapologetic
Oprah should be concerned about her failing OWN network. It is none of Oprah’s business. Kelly Ripa is still making millions so get over it.
