WOW, this is really crazy. Why in the HELL is Laurence Fisburne's 19 year old daughter trying to become a porn star? Fellow blogger Carlton Jordan recently spoke to adult film star and director, Brian Pumper about the newbies in the business. The newbie in this instance just so happens to be Montana Fishburne, check out the video below.
Seriously tho, this is super sad. I'm never one to knock a persons hustle if they are doing something in order to survive. However, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that this is probably not the case with Montana. I doubt that she is struggling to the point that she has to pop poon on camera for all the world to see. I wouldn't even be so confused and displeased about the situation if Montana, my bad Chippy-D hadn't have made THIS dumb azz comment to TMZ...
“I’ve watched how successful Kim Kardashian became and I think a lot of it was due to the release of her sex tape.”
Ok... now I get it, so the D in Chippy D stands for DUMMY!! As I watched her in the Carlton Jordan interview she struck me as a little slow and that comment confirmed it. Y'all pray for the child cuz she seriously needs it.
Tip is covering the August issue of Jet Magazine. While Tip is super sexy and I'm loving him in the all white, the cover really isn't doing much for me. Anywho, of course everybody wants to know if the wedding rumors are true. Well, they are!! Tip and Tiny will finally make it official this weekend as they become Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Harris ;). Even tho the cat is pretty much out the bag, they are still keeping quiet about their special day. Take a look at what Mr. Harris said when recently asked about the upcoming nuptials.
Gotta love that man ;). Anywho, check here for some behind the scenes footage from the JET Magazine shoot at his Atlanta home.
After ten days of searching for Memphis great, Lorenzen Wright, the Memphis Police Department announced yesterday that they found his body in a wooded area of Southeast Memphis. For those that don't know who Lorenzen Wright was, let me fill you in. I consider a man that was as loyal to his city as he was, a Memphis LEGEND!! Lorenzen played basketball for Memphis during high school, college and even came back to play while in the NBA. How many players can we say that about? Wright was drafted into the NBA playing for the LA Clippers in 1996 during his sophomore year at Memphis State University (UOM). During his career he played for LA, Atlanta, Sacramento, Cleveland and of course the Memphis Grizzlies. Check the video below of the 1996 NBA draft, Lorenzen was the first round 7th pick.
Lorenzen was known around Memphis for his untiring efforts in the community, especially when it came to our youth. In addition to spending a great deal of time with his 6 children (ages 4-15), Lorenzen was known to offer his expertise at basketball camps throughout the city. I've seen Lorenzen several times in passing but never knew him personally. However, most times I saw him he was either smiling or just standing back chill. I found an interview on YouTube that shows a little of his character. The guy interviewing him states that he was "one of the coolest personalities in the NBA and a real people person." Check the interview below.
He seemed like a nice guy, with a beautiful smile and personality. It gave me an eerie feeling when he said "dogs are loyal to you, you don't know about people..but you know your dogs are gonna be loyal." Check MORE DISH to see a tribute video and more on the investigation.
For the last few days Memphians have been hopeful that he would be brought home safely, yesterday that hope was shattered. Lorenzen's body was found yesterday evening with over a dozen gun shot wounds. The location they found him was not unfamiliar to him, he traveled this road often when visiting his mother. Personally, I'm sick of all the speculation surrounding this case so I won't mention any of the things that I've heard. I've posted a couple of videos from Memphis news channels below, feel free to take a look.
The extreme disregard for human life these days is ridiculous!! What kind of monster would kill a man like that and leave him there for days? How do you even sleep after doing something so horrible? I ask that you all keep the Wright family and friends in your prayers, especially his 6 children. Like I said before, I've only seen him in passing and I actually dreamed about him last night so I can only imagine what his loved ones are going through. Wright's fraternity, Kappa Alpa Psi previously started a search fund to help with locating him. Sources tell me that they are now thinking of using that money as reward for any information leading to an arrest in the case. I'll update the post with information on how to donate if it turns out to be factual. Below is a beautiful tribute made by Richie Domino (memphismix.com).
R.I.P. Mr. Wright, you will mos definitely be missed!! More Dish!
Although K.Michelle has blocked Diva Dish on Twitter LMAO, we STILL love and support her. Check out the video trailer for her new single, Cant' Do This.
Check MORE DISH for some behind the scenes footage from the video shoot
I was smiling all the way through watching this video :). It's still amazing to me seeing her accomplish her dreams. She's been working at this for a while and she's doing the damn thing. You betta werk, K!!!!More Dish!
The city of New York has FINALLY decided to settle and pay the family and friends of Sean Bell more than $7 million to settle a 2007 lawsuit. I'm sure we all remember the brutal murder of 23 year old Bell back in 2006, he was killed by NYC police on the day he was set to be married after leaving his bachelor party. The lawsuit filed back 2007 by family and friends accused the police of wrongful death, negligence, assault and civil rights violation. Sean Bell had two beautiful daughters with his fiance', Nicole Paultre-Bell, the children will receive $3.25 million from the lawsuit. The night of the murder, 2 of Bell's friends were out celebrating with him and both were injured in the incident. Joseph Guzman will receive $3 million and Trent Benefield will receive $900,000 for their injuries.
While I am extremely happy that NYC was forced to pay for what they did, that money will NEVER replace this son, father, friend, and husband. I'm so sick of those that are supposed to uphold the law using their authority to do whatever the hell they want. I will never understand how all three of the officers involved were acquitted on all charges!!! How do you explain shooting 50 shots into an unarmed man's vehicle?
Rasheeda is the sh-t!! She's such a pretty girl and I love her "boss b*tch swag" LOL. I appreciate how she keeps making videos for the internet world cuz I dig her music and her videos. What do you guys think about the song/video?
I AB-SO-LUTE-LY LOVE this song!!! Like seriously LOVE this song!! I could barely type this post from dancing LOL. But wait, why did Ricky Rozay look hella sexy to me in that cream jacket? Hot damn!!
The look that Christina is giving in this above pic is pretty much the same look that the whole world is giving The Dream right about now!! These pics that surfaced this weekend show us exactly what The Dream is missing out on, SMH. TMZ reported that The Dream not only filed for divorce months ago, but he did so days (9 days to be exact) before Christina gave birth to their daughter! That's extremely low down, but wait...there's more!! In addition to filing for divorce, he brought papers TO THE HOSPITAL while she was in labor. The papers stated that neither of them were entitled to the others personal property, and like a crazy lady (or a lady in labor pain)... she signed them.
That is the azz of a woman that just gave birth in February.. YOU BETTA WERK Christina!!!
Christina is asking that the judge not grant Dream the divorce. However, if the judge does grant the divorce, Christina said it should be based on her husbands extra marital affairs, not because of "irreconciable differences." She's also saying that she was not in any condition to sign those papers. I hope the judge decides to throw those papers out. I was in the room with a friend of mine when she was giving birth and that is CLEARLY not a time to pop some sh-t like that on a person. She probably signed those papers to get Dream's pot belly azz out of her face so she could get to pushing. We'll see how this all turns out.
Yea, yea, yea.... I know it's been a minute since I did a Meetings At The Round Table segment, but I don't have time to do it every week like I would really like to. It's crazy because I have so many topics that I would love to write about, but I rarely get the time. This last quarter of Grad School (I graduate Sept. 25th, YAY me) is seriously working ya girl. Anywho, how about we try something new ;). Instead of me writing all the MATRT segments, why don't you guys send in some stuff. That way it'll actually be more like having "meetings" instead of all the topics coming from me. Some things I don't really go into on the world wide web but I know many of my readers have no problem with saying certain things LOL. Therefore, feel free to discuss any topic you'd like. Now, on to this topic!!!
I finally got the chance to see the movie Hot Tub Time Machine, it was a much better movie than I thought it would be. Prior to seeing the movie I would ask people what they thought about it and I always got the same answer.. "its so damn funny." Well, while watching it, I too found it to be hilarious but I didn't expect it to actually be a "good" movie. Since I saw it, I've wanted to ask you guys a question.
What if in life we were allowed a one time RESET BUTTON... would you use it and when?
Check MORE DISH to read the rest of Reset Button
Just today, I mentioned on my FB page that confusion is one of the most annoying things EVER!!! I hate the feeling of not knowing. Life is full of decisions and each decision/action will ultimately bring about a different result. The thing is, how in the hell do we know which one will bring about the best result? Although I know that there is no way to go back in time, I've literally been thinking about this "reset button" since watching the movie. When I was coming up with how my "reset button" would work, I didn't like the idea of starting ALL the way over at infancy. So, I came up with deciding to start over from any point in life, your choice! This way, when you go back through life the second time there isn't so much confusion and those decisions wont be so hard to make. Wouldn't that sooooo be the sh-t? Yea.. I thought so too, but then I couldn't figure out at what EXACT point in my 29 years of life that I would start over. I'm sure that as youngins, we would've pushed that button quickly. But as a grown woman knocking on 30, I look back and realize that some things that happened might have been some real life bullsh-t, but they were necessary for me to become the person I am. However, there are some things that shouldn't have happened, didn't need to happen and I would SIT on that damn reset button to ensure that they didn't happen LOL!!! Okay, enough of my wishful thinking. I just wanted to post my thoughts on this "reset button" here for you guys cuz I've LITERALLY been talking to my friends about it for almost 2 weeks now LOL. The reactions of everyone I mentioned it to were the same, PURE EXCITEMENT. It's like they got hype just thinking about all the things they would like to change. So, I'd like to hear what you guys think about this dream button. Ready, Reset, GO!!!
Meeting Adjourned!
SD: Please send in your MATRT topics and/or write ups ASAP. I'll post them just as you send them so you dont have to worry about me changing up your wording. If you dont want me to mention who it came from just let me know in the email. Email topics/write ups to dawn@divadishtalk.com and put MATRT in the subject line. Hope to hear from you soon!! More Dish!
Awww, so cute!! It had so many of my fave people... Lance Gross, Jill Marie Jones, Keri and of course Tip!! I've actually been waiting on this video because I absolutely LOVE this song. I especially love when he says "we front row at fashion shows as well as Sunday morning service".That damn Tiny, she sure as hell got her one. Then again, he did too, she mos def has his back! Y'all saw how she winked that eye at y'all? I could've just poked it out LOL, just kidding. I really love them together. Rumor is that they'll be getting married this weekend, if so, congrats!!!
Cut up Kelly.... These are some new promo pics of Ms. Rowland and I must say she looks hot. Her body is absolutely amazing!
Kelly recently visited Nashville, TN. and did an interview with my girl Stylista KT. She talked about her new album and its new sound. Check out the full interview here and also find out how you can win a chance to name the new album!
Awww, the part about Chilli was too cute! I wish that would have worked out, they made such a cute couple (minus the baby hair). Although I liked him with Chilli, I didn't disapprove of his relationship with Tameka. They never really had a chance, people were upset about their relationship from jump. I'll post the rest of the video when it becomes available. ;)
Side Note: Confessions was and still is a BOMB AZZ CD!!!
Other than hearing Amber Rose speak to people that were seated around me at last years BET Awards, I've never really heard her speak. Carlton Jordan of carltonjordan.com caught up with Ms. Rose outside of a MAC store and chatted with her for a second, so I thought I'd share.
Amber seems like a super sweet chick. People are constantly asking why she's still around, this should somewhat answer that question. We already know she's super fly, that coupled with a great attitude will usually keep you wherever it is that you wanna be. Remember that folks!!! LOL at her quickly shutting down any of the Reggie Bush questions. More Dish!
This video is for Bow Wow's first single on Cash Money Records, This Is For My Hood. The video will include cameos from the cast of his new movie, Lottery Ticket (August 20th). The song sounds like it might be alright, I digs Sean Kingston, he's a super cool guy. Anywho, I'll post the video when it becomes available.
I told y'all already that I'm digging the song and the video was pretty cool too. I've been a Dondria fan since her YouTube days so I'm just excited to see her doing her thang. Check MORE DISH to hear a sample of her album "Dondria vs. Phatffatt" due out August 17th. What did you think about the video?
A few weeks ago I read in a magazine that Kadijah Haqq (one of the twins from the movie ATL) was engaged to New Orleans, Saints player Bobby McCray. I remember seeing pictures of one of the twins (which I'll now assume was Khadijah) at the games with Kim, but had no idea that she was dating a player. We see her sister, Malika on some of the episodes of the Kardashian shows but we rarely see Khadijah. Probably because she was with her boo, preparing for her nuptials. In the article the two talked about how they were only dated for a few months before he popped the question. Bobby has a son from a previous relationship and Kadijah says shes excited about being a wife and step mother. Congrats to the new couple, check out some of the pics from the wedding.
Last week, Khole tweeted about attending her friends bridal shower.. I'm sure they had a BALL!
Kim and her ex boo were both in the building.. wonder what that was like?
Kourtney and her psycho boyfriend, Scott.
Lauren London, Keri Hilson, Kim K, Cassie, the lovely bride and Meagan Good at the reception
The View co-host, Sherri Shepard recently testified in her divorce hearing and told the courts what ultimately led to her divorce. Back in 2006, Sherri returned home from giving birth to her premature son to find out that her husband was being unfaithful. Not only did she find out that he was unfaithful, she actually found PICTURES of him having sex with his jump off. DUDE, YOU ARE WAYYYYYYYYY OUT OF ORDER! But wait, theres more... she then found out that the lady he was knocking off in the pics was pregnant with his child. Wow, she just kept getting hit wit blow after blow. Although he didnt make a good husband, Sherri told the courts that her ex was a "good dad."
Dude was hella gangsta for that! Finding out your significant other/spouse is cheating is one thing. But to actually SEE the sh-t, WOW! I'm not sure that would have gone down so smoothly. There would have been hella stories for the blogs behind that one, SMH.
Pink has been putting this acrobatic routine in her shows for a while now and it almost got her messed up. During a live performance she fell almost 8 feet into the audience. Check out the video.
Personally, I'm sick of seeing her do this routine anyways. So the fact that its old, combined with the fact that she damn near killed herself, I would say its time to hang it up. Wouldn't you agree? Glad shes okay tho!
The Dream took to his official website to issue an apology to his fans wife for his public display of "I don't give a f**k", SMH. Check MORE DISH to read the open letter to Christina.
In My Own Words:
First I want to thank God for the trials of life, without them we can’t know purpose!
I would love to tell the truth as to why my relationship wasn’t successful, but today that is between me and Christina. Its easy to say that it’s because of another woman or a new relationship but truthfully, IT’S NOT.
I take FULL RESPONSIBILITY for misleading everyone into thinking everything was fine and okay when we knew problems existed for awhile! I wanted to speak up but we decided it wasn’t for anyone to know. I would NEVER intentionally hurt a soul and everyone around me knows that! There was so much going on in me and Christina’s personal world that I tried to deal with it as delicately as I could and tried to regain my footing. Instead of being direct in order not to cause even more hurt or hurt someone’s feelings, I carried the weight in secret!
This is not to justify anything, it’s true emotion! It’s a real thing that involves real people! I’ve cried about this for months, after interviews, after prayer and I’ve tried to take my own life at a point because of the failure that was looming.
But I was reminded by my MOTHER that I am not “Superman” and its okay to lose sometimes…
I just had to post this one because he actually did the vocals in this video.
Y'all, I can't...and I won't. We have to respect Pedro and his video skills tho, he can sure as hell put on a show LOL. That hair blowing in the wind is classic!!
Oooh, I was sure as hell hoping that all the talk about him choosing all white and other women for his reality show wasn't true. On my lunch break, I just watched the first episode of his show Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch. Man was I disappointed! He seriously sent all the black women home and chose all white and Hispanic women. The last 3 or so women that he chose were black. WOW!! Anywho, check out what Wendy Williams had to say to Chad when he visited her show.
So yea, I understand that everyone has a preference. However, I have a problem when that "preference" becomes a prejudice. Liking a particular type of woman/man is one thing, but dang... he didnt even give the black chicks a chance, SMH. I'm SO not shocked tho, were you? Anywho, check MORE DISH to see the blog that Chad wrote to Global Grind.
Imagine if I bought a bag of skittles and only ate the green ones. That would be a waste of a bag of skittles. I’m gonna eat ‘em all. Romance doesn’t fit in a box, and neither does my Johnson. Ok, all kidding aside, my new reality show is about having fun, meeting women and hopefully finding that ultimate catch, whatever race, creed or color she might be.
As a kid growing up, I developed a strong sense of self-worth from the incredible women in my life, all of whom were black. I am the man who I am today because of black women, and I am forever grateful for the values and strength they instilled in me. With all that being said, I was surprised by all of hate that I got from the decisions that were made on the first episode of my reality show Sunday night.
grandmama, the two women who raised me, ain’t got a problem with the women I choose in life, no matter what race they are, then it shouldn’t be a problem to anyone. Bottom line is that I love black women. I got four beautiful children and their mother is black.
However, I’m still single, ready to mingle and a Cincinnati Bengal…so if you see me on the street, please feel to slip me your business card or your number, whether your green, purple, blue or how I like ‘em, pink on the inside. That covers all y’all…right? So, I hope we’re good. Either you fly with me or get flown over. Love and let live.
Personally, I have to give that a "chile please", LOL. But hey, you do you and I cant be mad at ya for it. Although I think it's foul, that's his decision so there's nothing much more to be said.
Two of my fave artists, Nicki Minaj and Trey Songz did a video chat on Ustream and talked about their new song Bottoms Up and a couple of other things. Check it out.
I liked that, I don't think I've ever seen anybody do a chat like this on Ustream.
