For a long time Toya Carter was simply known to the world as “Lil Wayne’s ex-wife.” Last year, with the debut of her reality show “Tiny & Toya”, we got to know a little bit more about her. Not as Wayne’s ex-wife, but as Toya… a mother, a daughter, sister, friend and socialite.
The very first post on Diva Dish was the premiere episode of “Tiny & Toya” so its needless to say that I’m a fan. Even after watching the first season of the show and following Ms. Carter on Twitter, my interview was the first time I’ve ever heard her speak on certain issues. We talked about her relationship with Wayne, the baby mama NO drama, The OMG Girlz and more. Check MORE DISH for the interview!
As cool as you saw Toya in this interview, she’s just as cool in person. She seems to have a great personality and a really good head on her shoulders. Before ‘Tiny and Toya” aired, many people wanted to know what the purpose of the show was. One thing they can not say its about is a bunch of negativity and BS. I love how she is woman enough to allow her daughter to have a relationship with all of her little brothers. As Toya stated, “SOME” of them are over Wayne (yea, we caught that LOL) so there is no reason to beef. It’s wonderful to see a young black woman making an honest living in the industry without giving the media what they want, DRAMA! Toya shows young girls that it is more than possible to come from rough beginnings to fabulous ends. Good luck Ms. Carter with everything and thanks again for your time. Oh yea BTW… even though I’m not making y’all a couple, you and Memphitz do make a pretty hot combo LOL.

The Real Deal With Toya Carter

Meetings At The Round Table #1 : Why Do "Women" Settle For Being #2
Okay, so this will be a new weekly series for Diva Dish ! My best friends and I always sit around the kitchen table talking about all types of things, so one day we started calling those talks "Meetings At The Round table." With that said, these weekly write ups will be about anything that I feel like discussing (y'all feel free to email me some topics also).
After posting the video of Monica and T-Boz on V103 talking about how comfortable chics can be playing SECOND, I was asked to discuss it... So, here ya go!!
Check MORE DISH for the write up
I believe MOST, if not all women have played 2nd at some point in their life (rather knowingly or unknowingly). One reason this is such a big issue in society is because we seriously have a lot of chicks that have NO PROBLEM PLAYING SECOND. Now, what one chick does with her poon has nothing to do with me, but PERSONALLY... I don't see how they do it. Before I get into this tho, let me first say that I TOTALLY understand that good people sometimes find themselves in bad situations. You never know what you'll do in a situation UNTIL you find yourself in it. Sooooo.........
I've heard many reasons why women accept being 2nd.
1. I love the lack of commitment
2. I don't want to be hurt again and this way I already know what I'm getting myself into.
3. He's unhappy with her and he's leaving soon (meaning they'll be together one day *side eye*).
While I've heard each of those reasons many times, I think the biggest reason is that these mistresses enjoy what they get from the man. In most cases, the mistresses are given things to ensure that they know their role and play their position. Their role is to play the part of "the one" knowing that they really aren't, and their position is ALWAYS SECOND, ALWAYS. Just like TBoz said in the clip "these heffas get so excited about a bag that they don't care". Gangsta Boo said it best when she said "I'll be the other woman, as long as I'm the only other woman you're giving cash to" (which half the time is NOT the case). I really never understood how a woman can be comfortable with being with some elses man. I actually kicked it with a guy before knowing he had a girl. We would sit around talking, tripping and laughing and I remember sometimes catching myself thinking "STFU, you told yo girl that same joke earlier.. giving me the recycled azz laugh" ROFL. Seriously tho, that sh*t is just NOT for me. I know that I deserve to be number 1 and that's all that I'll accept.
Besides, that.. How can you sit up all lovey dovey with a man when you know that he's telling another woman the exact same things that he tells you. My mind wonders entirely too much to be in this type of situation. Not only does my mind wonder, but my conscious is something serious. To have a relationship with a married man for an extended period of time shows that you have no remorse. Like I said, we all mess up, but to CONTINUE doing the same BS, honey you're doing the most. I guess I'm through here, not much more to say about it cuz it is what it is. Just remember that what you put into the universe you mos def get back and please believe that "God don't bless no mess."
Meeting adjourned!!!
Now, you heard my take.. I'd love to hear yours.. ;-)
Gabby Sidibe's Mom Goes In On Howard Stern
Gabby doesnt seem to be letting Howard Stern's comments about her size get to her. TMZ posted this pic of Gabby walking around Santa Monica smiling as usual. Y'all betta not play with Gabby and her tights (and those lil azz glasses *side eye), I love it. It's good to see that Gabby doesnt let losers like Stern take her joy.
BTW, y'all know that mothers (especially black ones) will POP SMOOTH THE HELL OFF about their children. Well, Gabby's mom (Alice) was on Inside Edition and addressed what Stern had to say about Gabby's weight.

New Music Video - Lady GaGa Ft. Beyonce "Telephone"
Sooooooo, at this point I'm not shocked at anything GaGa does LOL. Her videos used to scare me, but now that I know who and what she is, I'm always ready for anything LOL. Yesterday, I saw some people online saying it was horrible. Personally, I don't think it was horrible, it was GAGA!! Did y'all catch that move she hit at the 4:31 mark, that was SO MJ'is LOL. I actually loved the video, although I don't think it had anything to do with the song (other than her answering the telephone in the jail), it was cool.
I had to rewind the beginning a couple of times cuz it was a bit much. How about those cigarette shades.. WHO COMES UP WITH THIS ISH LOL? Loved the fashion, GO GAGA!!
Your thoughts on the video????
Monica & Rocko Split ;-(
Yesterday Monica released a statement announcing that she and her fiance Rocko have decided to separate. Y'all KNOW I loved them together so this seriously had me upset :-(... These two were #3 on my Valentine's Day Top 10 countdown. Check the statement that Monica released about their decision.
I know there were many rumors. And Sandra, I appreciate that you never dug into them for the sake of both our families. I am going to rest today & go back to work tomorrow. I am going to do what I have always done. Focus on my children, my family & my career. Rock was put under a lot of harsh scrutiny during our entire relationship and I’m sure that was not easy.
However at this point our focus is being great parents. He is a great father to his children and, continuing forward, that is my only concern. With every breath in our bodies we will make sure that they feel as little pain as possible And continue to have the lives they had before with no attention dedicated to our separation. I will not be speaking on the subject further unless it is with God whom I believe does everything with reason. I love my children and their father and I’m truly grateful for those that loved and supported us through the good and the bad throughout the years.
Ohhhhhhhhh, I could just cry. Reports were that the two seperated because Rocko was cheating. I remember seeing an interview where Monica was talking about how the groupies would get at Rocko, check it out (starting around 1:47).
Like I always say, I don't know ANYTHING about these folks business. I know men (and people in general) are gonna do what they do, BUT I really don't wanna believe he cheated. I've told the story before and I'll say it again, when he was here in Memphis I saw the groupies ALL OVER HIM. Rocko NEVER paid any of them any attention, that's when I really started loving their relationship. I greatly appreciated the amount of respect he showed Monica even when she wasn't present. The two have separated before and got back together so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it happens again. Whatever happens tho, I know how bad a breakup can hurt, and it's worse when children are involved. Keep ya head up Monica!!!!
I'm still sad about it ;-(...

Luda On 106 & Park With Diamond & Trina
Luda has been everywhere promoting "Battle of The Sexes". He was on 106 yesterday and brought out Diamond and Trina for the performance of "My Chic Bad."
Good performance, Diamond was hype as hell and I loved it. This song is banging and I'm sure the rest of the album is too. Matter of fact, I'm going to pick it up today and let y'all know what I think about it.
Video Dish - Chris Brown Needs YOUR Help, Million Dollar Girl Video Snippet, How Low Can Kelly Ripa Go..
Chris Brown took advantage of his Say Now account and asked his fans for help bringing him back. He says that the radio stations aren't playing his music, which I can vouch for cuz I rarely hear him coming through my speakers. Take a listen.
Poor Chris.. I hate the way they are dogging him all because he popped off (literally). It's old news and he does have some good music so why black ball the man like that? I hear Rihanna talking about how hard she is all day every day on the radio, so why cant they continue to support Chris?
Trina's "Million Dollar Girl" video clip
Love this song and cant wait for the video!
Check MORE DISH to see Kelly Ripa get low with Ludacris
Ludacris was on Regis & Kelly promoting his "Battle of The Sexes" album (in stores now) and Kelly decided she wanted to dance with Luda's dancers.
I just love Kelly, she was REALLY getting it LOL.
