Fantasia Announces Pregnancy!

Recently, there has been speculation that singer Fantasia Barrino was pregnant with Antwuan Cook's child.  If you watched her show or even pay attention to celebrity entertainment, you'll know that Antwuan is the married man that she'd been seeing, leading to a lot of drama and ultimately Fantasia's attempt at suicide.  Well, there is no need to speculate about a pregnancy any longer.  In Jacksonvill, Fl., Fantasia announced  that she is in fact expecting a child.  Check MORE DISH for the video.







Now y'all know I LOVE me some Fanny, but I sure hate to hear this.  Well, let me shut up.  We don't even know who the child's father is.  I really hate to assume things, especially when it's dealing with celebrities and their private lives.  BUT, IF this child does turn out to be Antwuan's, I'll be shacking my head at the WHOLE situation.  Again, we don't know the full story about that, but it just sounds like it would be added drama to her life.  Anywho, CONGRATS!!

Fantasia Skips Out On The Grammy's Over Aretha Franklin Tribute

Wow... I didn't know that my girl Fanny won a Grammy for "Best Female Vocal Performance" for Bittersweet, CONGRATS.  However, I did notice that Fantasia wasn't at the show but I didn't think much of it.  I've heard lots of people question the Grammy winners in the past and after being nominated 11 times with no win, I can understand Tasia wanting to sit it out.  Well, her choice to skip out had nothing to do with the lack of wins.  It had everything to do with them excluding Fantasia from the Aretha Franklin tribute.
Fantasia called in to 106 & Park and told them how she felt about the exclusion.

I’m going to be very honest with you. You know I wasn't at the Grammys last night, I’m kind of going through my own little thing…last night they were honoring someone who is my idol, Aretha Franklin, and there is no way I could have sat there and not got the happy feet and wanting to jump on the mic because she is my favorite so I felt like, you know, at the end of the day I should have been on that stage so, I kind of did my own little thing last night.


I watched Cee-lo’s performance, I love Cee lo, love Gaga, watched Gaga, and I love Rihannas performance, but I kind of cooked and did my own thing last night and was in my own world and was hoping that I won. I have this feeling, like every year I go, I feel like they always look over some of the good singers that are still around and I’m not trying to be funny but that's just the way I felt, so I didn't go into it like I usually do, I wasn’t there, so you know I caught some performances, Cee Lo was one of my favorites I love Love love .

On how she reacted to finally winning a GRAMMY!

Actually I scared my daughter because I just bust out and started crying, and she thought something was wrong with me. You know it’s been a long time coming T, you know at the end of the day its been a long time coming for me and I have been through a lot of things so when Brian called me (my manager accepted the award for me), I just bust out started crying because I felt like eh man, I wasn’t gonna stop until I got one and I’m still not going to stop and you know this has just given me motivation to do my own thing so I just started crying and just thanking God that finally, eleven times nominated, finally I got one.

Well... I surely wish she had been there to accept her award.  She had a really rough year and I would have loved to see her reaction to winning an award she's been after for a while.  Congrats again.

Fantasia Aborted Antwuan's Baby....

As well all know, Fantasia is currently being sued by Paula Cooke for Alienation of Affection.  Well, according to Radar Online, Tasia was getting a LOT of affection from Paula's hubby.  Reports have surfaced that during her testimony,  Fantasia admitted to aborting Antwuan's baby.  She admitted that she and Antwuan were dating "on and off" for 11 months, but that she was told he was separated from his wife.  According to Cooke's lawyers, Tasia and Antwuan met at a hotel only days after they met.  The lawyers claim this was because she knew Antwuan was married.

I told y'all this was only gonna get worse before it got better, SMH.

Fantasia Headed To Court...

This Fantasia and Antwaun/Paula Cook story is probably going to get a lot worse before it gets any better. According to Radar Online Fantasia is set to go to court on the 22nd following a  mediation between she and Paula earlier this month that went sour. 

A source close to the situation says the two women attempted to settle their dispute through private mediation but the ladies were unable to reach a settlement, propelling Cook to move forward with a civil lawsuit against the singer.

“Fantasia and Paula were in mediation for nearly 12 hours on November 1,” a source close to the situation told RadarOnline.com.

“They didn’t settle because Fantasia refuses to acknowledge that she was aware of Paula’s marriage to Antwaun when she started dating him, and Paula is adamant that she knew.”

According to the source, Fantasia and Paula are set to meet in a North Carolina courthouse again on November 22. “Fantasia was prepared to pay Paula as much as $100,000 to settle during their mediation, but it fell through,” another source told RadarOnline.com.“Paula plans on going all the way and is going to sue Fantasia for Alienation of Affection.”

Personally, I don't think Fantasia knew EXACTLY what she was getting herself into.  I don't know exactly HOW MUCH she knew, but I don't think Antwaun gave her the "truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth."  As far as Paula is concerned, I think that once she realized who her husband was knocking off, she figured she'd take advantage of a jacked up situation.  I'll keep you updated on what happens after the court date.

Fantasia "Behind The Music"

If you didn't catch Fantasia's "Behind the Music" last night, you missed out. Although I've always been a fan of hers and followed her career, I saw parts of her that I never saw before. During the hour long segment, I could see the difference in her demeanor on the most recently recorded portions and the previously recorded parts. It looked as if she'd recorded some parts prior to her suicide attempt and other parts after (when she wore the black shirt and her hair was as it is in the above pic). On the clips that were recorded after, she seemed rather detached from reality.  As if she was just there because she had to be.

Listening to Tasia talk about when she was raped, her relationship with Zion's father (that she looks JUST LIKE, BTW) and her relationship with her own father, Joe Barrino, just further confirmed what I’ve thought since I heard of her hospitalization. IT WAS ALL JUST TOO MUCH ON HER!!! I could have jumped the through the screen on Joe Jackson's Barrino's azz!  His reaction to his daughter's rape was utterly DISGUSTING!  When he found out of Fantasia's rape, he told her that it was HER fault because of how she was dressed. Even if he did feel that way about the situation, why would you actually say that to your child. WOW!!

Something that Fantasia said hit me hard, particularly because I was guilty of it too.  She mentioned that all of the negative press that she got was just too much to handle at the time.  The media is quick to talk about negative situations, but rarely go into details about positive things.  I wouldn't say that we here at Diva Dish are guilty of that, but I was upset with myself for not making a post on Fantasia's biggest achievement yet.  Her graduation!  She received her GED and although I mentioned it on Twitter and Facebook, I failed to make a post here.  I remember trying to find pics to post and couldn't and simply stopped looking.  Well, I'll take this time to congratulate her and say how very proud I am of her. She didn't have to do that and the fact that she did proves that she wants better for herself.

Alright, I'll try to find the "Behind the Music" episode for you guys, it was REALLY good!  Continue to keep her in your prayers cuz she still has a LONG way to go! Although she is up and out speaking about the situation, that doesn't mean that she's over it.  Keep in mind, she's been hiding her pain for years so she's good at it.  I'll be glad when people and the media realize that their actions and comments can be painful.  Celebrities are just like us, they make mistakes and they have feelings.  Luckily, we have the luxury of living through our situations (good and bad) privately.

Fantasia Set To Promote "Back To Me"

Fantasia's people released a shocking statement concerning the artist.  Fantasia will begin promotion of her upcoming album, Back To Me as early as next week.  Yea, the album drops on the 24th (I'll be coping mine that day), but I would think she would take a little more time to herself after a suicide attempt.  Check the statement from Fanny below.

“I can’t thank my fans enough for their prayers and support during such a challenging time. It has given me the motivation to get back to work and honor the commitments I made to promote ‘Back To Me,’” states Fantasia. “I put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into this album and I pray that everyone enjoys it as much as I do.”

I hope she's not stepping back out there too soon.  Next week she'll start her promo tour with Good Morning America (8-24), Lopez Tonight (8-25), Regis & Kelly (9-9), Wendy Williams (9-10), Steve Harvey's Ford Hoodie Awards (8-28) and Tom Joyner's Family Reunion (9-4).  I can't WAIT to see her on Wendy, that ought to be a real good show.  Anywho, TMZ is reporting that Fantasia was indeed spotted with Antwuan Cook but it was done for the cameras filming for her reality show.  We'll get to see what that was all about during the next season of  "Fantasia For Real." I'm anxious to see what that was all about.

Check More Dish to hear her another song from her album called The Thrill Is Gone and a preview of the entire album.

New Music: Fantasia "Lucky"

There's a new song from Fantasia Barrino called... "Lucky"!  It's basically talking about a chick that feels "lucky" about the relationship she has with another woman's man. Really, Fanny? Check it out.



As much as I LOVE Fantasia, she is getting a strong azz side eye at the moment. Please tell me what in the HELL is LUCKY about being the mistress, the jump off, the sideline hoe? This is the most retarded azz song, EVER... LIKE EVER!! Did she really put her big azz lips to a mic and let this BS come out? Whewwww child, Fanny, Fanny, FANNY!! I hate it! Something else I'm confused about is the fact that since the suicide attempt, Fanny has been seen out with Mr. Cook like she didn't try to send herself to the upper room because of their situation. Many are actually questioning rather or not the suicide attempt was real or if it was a publicity stunt to get everyone to tune in to the second season of her reality show. I don't know, but I sure hope she didn't go that far for ratings. At this point, I don't know what else to say. What the hell is she thinking, hell, is she even thinking at all? I'm done, we'll see how this all plays out.

Side Note: the song is tight, but it's stupid as hell LMAO! I like the "a hard man is good to find" LOL.

Was Fantasia Set Up?

Yesterday news broke that singer, Fantasia Barrino was hospitalized due to an overdose from a combination of sleeping pills and aspirin.  Her manager confirmed that this was not an accidental situation, but indeed an attempt to end her life.  They found Fantasia in a closet inside of her home in North Carolina.  As I've mentioned here before, my family loves some Fantasia!  We voted like crazy for her when she was a contestant on American Idol.  With that said, we've been talking amongst ourselves about what could have caused all of this.  My daddy mentioned something that isn't very far fetched.  Has anybody just for once thought about the fact that the Cook family saw Fantasia and the laws of North Carolina as an easy target to get paid?!

Carolina is one of only SEVEN states that have the "Alienation of Affection" law.  We all heard about the woman in Carolina winning the 9 million dollar law suit filed against her husbands mistress, I'm sure the Cook's heard about this as well.  Fantasia's manager has spoken out and stated that his client was mislead by Mr. Cook and believed that he was separated from his wife (Paula) at the time of their relationship.  Fantasia was under the impression that although Antwuan was still married, he and Paula were not happy and he was working on getting out of the marriage.

Now, don't get it twisted... I'm not saying that Fantasia isn't to blame for any of this.  When you date a married man (separated or not), you are potentially opening your front door to drama.  However, I am fully aware of how manipulative a man can be and I'm almost POSITIVE that he did indeed lie to her in order to gain her trust and affection.  The fact that he was so willing to be seen in public with her (as in the picture above) probably led her to believe that Antwuan and his wife were in fact separated, as he probably told her time and time again.  Then this alleged sex tape that the wife claims to have!!! I'm sorry but I'm just not willing to believe that Fanny was dumb enough to make a sex tape with a man that she knew was happily married and still with his wife, then allowed the wife to get access to it.  Yea, yea, yea... I know she was dumb enough to tattoo a married man's name on her but the sex tape thing is just taking it too far, LOL. Call me crazy, but I'm just not buying it. Sounds to me like Mr. and Mrs. Cook may have gotten sick of those lil azz T-Mobile checks and came up with what they thought would be a "get rich quick" scheme.  Honestly, if this is what they did, it's pretty damn brilliant if you ask me (evil, yet brilliant).  Whatever the situation was, it's nothing that should have caused her to want to take her own life.  The fact that she was about to leave her child here without a mother is beyond sad and proves that she feels horrible about what has happened!  If it turns out that this is what the Cook's had planned all along, they need their azzes whooped, REAL GOOD!! Fantasia is doing fine now, but I'm sure she is still under a lot of pressure and completely embarrassed about all of this (hide the pills please).  Let's all keep her in our prayers and I hope that this helps people realize that the old "sticks and stones" saying isn't always true.  We should really watch what we say and what we put into the universe.  We can make judgments all day, but I always try to keep in mind that good people can sometimes find themselves in bad situations.  Keep your head up Tasia, we love you!!

Fantasia Barrino Hopitalized In North Carolina For Overdose

TMZ is reporting that Fantasia was taken to a hospital last night and was treated for a "medical overdose".  While they do know what she was treated for, they are unsure at this time if the overdose was intentional or accidental.  All of this comes after yesterday's reports that Fantasia was being sued by Antwuan Cook's wife, Paula for breaking up their marriage.  Paula claimed that she has sex tapes of her husband and Fantasia proving that they did have a relationship.  This is such a sad situation.  It just goes to show how much power the media and the internet can have over someone.  I'm sure she is hella embarrassed and she possibly felt this was her only way out.  Y'all know I'm a Fanny fan so I'm really upset about this situation.  This is one reason I have to sometimes question that whole "he doesn't put more on you than you can bare" saying.  Keep Ms. Barrino in your prayers, she needs them now more than ever.

Fantasia Barrino Has A SEX TAPE? Say It Ain't So, SMH!!

WOW, the sh-t might REALLY hit the fan for Fanny this time.  Some time last year we all heard the news that Fantasia was supposedly involved with a man that she met at a T-Mobile store.  The only problem wit that is that Antwuan Cook (the T-mobile guy) was married at the time of their alleged affair.  Fantasia denied that she was seeing Antwuan, yet she was seen sporting a new tattoo of the name "Cook" *side eye*.

Anywho, Antwuany's wife has recently filed papers against her ex-husband seeking child support, alimony and other financial support.  She claims that Fantasia and Antwuan began their affair in August of 2009 and that she has tapes of the two engaged in sexual activity.  Well cut my legs off and call me Shawty!!! If she really has tapes of these two this could be a really bad look for Fantasia, SMH.  You can check out CNN for more info on the case.
