I am so happy there is a new post
but why is Fanny ABC “Newsworthy”?
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am also glad we have a new post….. But Ummmm Fanta
all she will do is not really answer the questions but say all the rumors about her are false…..
& why you you pick that pic with her having her stank face on….
2010 is the year for the
come up
Does she speak on the married boyfriend?
I like Lets talk about Pep better than Fantasia show
what no fanny bashing? no jumping the gun like you did YELE? did you get your $5.00 back like you said sandra rose!
BOOOOOOOOO@this interview (altho fannie does look cute)
fannie talk about this married man u keep tryna hide!!and if ur house wasnt in foreclosure why would it be up for auction?isnt that the same thing???
and auntie whats wrong with m avatar?im tired of lookn at this ugly big headed pale baby!
Wow, What was her Father suing her for?
Now, correct me if I’m wrong, I thought if your house is up for auction that means it’s PAST Foreclosure Process????

@H-town &Audacious
I was just about to ask that question? ……..what is the difference if your house is up for auction and foreclosure…..doesn’t that mean you didn’t finish paying for your house…….
Fanny is a pathological liar. She lied about the tattoo, her house, her new man, and why she missed those Color Purple shows.
Fantasia, I need you to take time out from the studio, or whatever it is that you do, and go get an education!!! I AM NOT BOO-BOO THE DAMN FOOL! If your house is up for Auction, that means it’s WELL past the foreclosure process!!! Hell, it ain’t even your house anymore, it’s the BANKS!
It’s time to upgrade yourself, and not the man you’re walking around, taking trips with.
lol

@Missy, H-town and audacious
Why would yall expect fannypack to know the difference? All jokes aside maybe she wasnt aware of the order in which these things are done…you know some peoples’ understanding is just bad.
I think with foreclosure you still have an opportunity to keep your house. If it’s up for auction it’s beyond the point of reconcile and the bank has possession of the house. Either way she still has her home.
I thought she addressed the issue of missing the shows, one of the reasons being she had a tumor of some sort on her vocal chord.
As far as “hiding” the man….well I wouldn’t call walking hand in hand in BArdados hiding. She just not addressing the issue for the sake of gossip.
@EricaDenese….she still lives in her home. So the bank doesn’t have it……she took care of whatever financial responsibility she needed too

I think she thought that no one would be taking pics of her in Barbados, she got caught.

**********************************
i beg to differ..shes most definitely hiding!on one interview she blatantly lied about ever meeting the man or having the name cook tatooed on her..then she got the cook tattoo covered up! if that aint hiding then u couldve fooled me!!
@therapist…exactly!
sidenote:do u have split personalities??just asking cuz i cant keep up with ur comments?u contradict urself with every word u type..
htownmama…
southside!!
u??
Fanny is a great singer and was equally fab in The Color Purple. I hope she can get her personal life in order to help save her career. She is a young singer with a great voice. We don’t have a lot of those these days.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
LOL last I check I only had one personality. But you may be on to something. How did I contridict myself?
@Anna….you could be right? But I would like to think that if you are a celebrity and you are out in public chances are that somebody will snap a pic.
Fantasia needs a whole new PR team. There is no way she should be getting caught up in these lies. “No comment” is betta than “I’se ain’t sleeping wit no married mens”.

@therapist..lol! at first i thought u were riding for fannie so i was disagreeing with ur comment..then when i posted it u switched so i had to agree to the new one!
Hey MsKaylamama
How have you been? *waves*
Heyyy @ H-townmama, *waves* everything has been going good so far, what about you??
@htown….I guess I do “ride” for Fantasia. I think she is a good artist despite whatever personal issues she may have.
So why do I have to have the split personality because you got confuse…..lol?
i think you’re still able to grab your house from foreclosure as long as its before the auction. my sister is going through the same thing for the second time …
The show is garbage. I watche dup until I saw her lazy as* brother chilling. Had to turn the channel. She is not news worthy. On a nother note, I do like Pep’s show. Her friend is hillarious.
@Mskay
pretty good…not wanting to work today, but it is holiday pay so I will be ok…
She is taking care of 6 people in her family. WOW!! A dang shame she has to take care of grown people. I guess she feels she owes them something but jeeeez!
Hey errybody!!!
Heyyyy @ gypsyeyes, kewte pic.
I’m still waiting on the TI post too.
Thanks MKM!!! How was your weekend?
Hey H-townmama.ericadenese.missy. and anna!!!
My weekend was AWESOME!!
@gypsey
I cant take too much more of your fabulousness!!! LOL
Cute pic.
Thanks H-townmama,
I went to this really nice suchi bar and lounge in Mass. I had to let them see how a big girl is supposed to look. The ones that I have seen are horrible. They still try yo dress like the skinny girls. No maam.
Are we gonna get something on this T.I post or what?
Gypsyeyes, my guess would be “no”
Sandra was pulling our leg. 
@Gypey
Thats right! Rep for us thickums the right way. I love my curves, but I get tired of nasty looking big girls. And Im waiting on TI post too.
Sorry I meant gypsey
I agree w/STLvixen. She is crazy talented and needs to just focus on that, she should stop speaking on everything else cuz she is making herself look more foolish than people already think she is. SHE is the one who said she was illiterate, SHE is the one that came out and said that while she was working with color purple/tour that people cleaned her out and she was broke, SHE is the one that said she didn’t know any Cook when we all seen the tatt and then she got it covered up but is seen on vacay w/ him all boo boo’d up and now he is a good friend?
Fanny do music and go back to school, cut the reality show and stop doing interviews!
Side questions for Atl folks or anyone who knows…
Why is Tameka Foater-Raymond so hated? Is this all behind Usher, did she disrespect someones mama, I don’t get it. What’s her back story?
I will be front and center 2night for the show
@gypsy….HEEEYYYYY
Missy-My 15Yo wants to know why you have to find the worse pix of CB. She loves him still. I told her everyone makes mistakes. If they can forgive R.Kelly for peeing on a 15YO girl they should be able to forgive CB.
Fantasia’s house might well be paid for. If it is, she still has to pay taxes. If the taxes weren’t paid, then the property will be put up for auction. So maybe that’s why she said it wasn’t a foreclosure, it was, instead, failure to pay taxes
Fantasia actually speaks well, meaning she isn’t dumb, she’s young..many young stars never finished high school so that isn’t unusual..I could name a lot of names…and she is maturing in the business..no one can take her talent away..she may go through storms and make mistakes…but she will have LONGEVITY
also, Fantasia isn’t stupid she is dyslexic, I understand? And evidently she never got the interventions and help she needed to succeed in school
and, last point, as far as being stupid about men, she should take a number..who hasn’t been especially when we were young
that’s all
@Gypsy-Tell your daughter that I like CB and his pics. make me laugh and that I don’t mean anything by it…….I forgive CB(even though he hasn’t done anything to me)and who can stay mad with someone who makes faces like the one in my gravi./avatar …….
I will say it loud and proud “I’m Missy and I am a CB fan”
and he stay “Steezin on these heathen” so I got to represent…
fanny mae had two houses. one is gone bye bye see ya later. she is now living in the other home. still don’t answer the question on why she missed those color purpa shows. and why she was on the beach last week with a man she said she did not even know the week before that….
——————————————–
The Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office is scheduled to sell the home, valued at $1.1 million. The home isn’t in foreclosure, but rather is being used to compensate the company that loaned Barrino money to cover taxes.
Even if January’s sale proceeds, Barrino still has a house in Charlotte. The soul singer has a $529,000 home a couple miles from the one scheduled for sale in south Charlotte.
that was actually a GOOD interview. she lost the baby voice and spoke in her big girl voice. she had good interaction with the interviewer….gone head fanny pack.
