UMMM, I DON’T KNOW IF I LIKE THIS IDEA: An "All-Black Version" Of "Steel Magnolias" On The Way?

Steel Magnolias, the classic 80's flick starring Sally Field, Dolly Parton and Julia Roberts is getting the "remake treatment"... with an all-Black cast. Get deets on the Kenny Leon-directed LIFETIME movie

As if news of the Sparkle remake wasn't enough, producers over at LIFETIME are, according to Deadline.com, digging in the crates and dusting off the 1989 film Steel Magnolias. One of my faves when I need a good cry by the way.

The film, about a bunch of strong and sassy Southern women, originally starred Sally Field, Julia Roberts and Dolly Parton along with an all-star cast. But this go-round, producers are switching things up by throwing race into the dynamic and setting the film in Louisiana with an all-Black cast. Yes, I'm side-eyeing this one for now.

The project will be directed by Kenny Leon (who also directed Diddy and Phylicia Rashad in the 2004 Broadway revival for tv "Raisin In The Sun" and currently directing Angela Bassett & Samuel L. Jackson in Broadway's "The Mountaintop.")

Sally Robinson has signed on to write the new Steel Magnolias script and is expected to base it off Robert Harlings' screenplay for the movie.

Now that we know LIFETIME wants to mimic the classic film and use an all-star cast, it begs the question....who should star in the remake? Better yet...who SHOULDN'T. We have a few to list for the latter.

Of course names like Angela Bassett, Alfre Woodard and Loretta Devine are likely to be thrown in the mix, but what about the newbies on the rise like Tika Sumpter and Tessa Thompson?

Who'd be in your all-star cast?

Beyoncé Drops Full 'Love On Top' Clip, Fans Chime In

After teasing a two-minute clip of her breezy song “Love On Top” last Sunday (October 9), R&B diva Beyoncé premiered the full version (October 16) much to the delight of fans awaiting the clip.

video:

Although pulling inspiration from boy band pioneers New Edition and their fan favorite “If It Isn’t Love” video, Bey adds her own flair and twist to the video with some clever and daring costume changes that compliment her infamously curvy figure. After the video’s debut, fans on the Web chimed in with their thoughts.

“I said it once...and I'll say it again. NO ONE can touch Beyoncé performance wise!” said an excited @DamoneRoberts of the clip. Fan @calinative also enjoyed the video by saying, “I think this is my fave video of the album so far.” 

A supportive @Mica4Life added, “I really liked it. Paid homage to different groups throughout history. Wished the 2nd verse wasn't omitted though.”

User @KissMeKarma was expecting a different angle. “I was hoping for a more 80s inspired video since that was the vibe of the song,” she said. Fan @mrLdavis was also a bit let down by the clip. “This love on top video could have been better tho,” he shared.

One fan acknowledged Beyoncé’s nods to videos of the past, and even mentioned another video said to be awaiting a release from her album 4. “I love that Beyoncé is simply paying homage to lots of old videos with every one of her new videos! can't wait for Party!” said @ItzJazzyJeff.

AWARENESS: DIDDY SAVES THE BOYS & GIRLS CLUB of HARLEM

Sean “Diddy” Combs lent a hand to the Boys & Girls Club of Harlem in New York City by donating a significant amount of money to the organization’s operations budget, which has been under tremendous pressure due to enormous shifts in federal, state and private funding:

“Mr. Combs’ contribution comes at a time when we were faced with the possibility of eliminating existing programs and/or club sites. 100% of Mr. Combs’ contribution will go directly to the young people, and provide educational, recreational and social enrichment programs allowing us to move forward as a club, uninterrupted.” Willie C. Bentley, Jr. Board Member and Resource Development Chair.

The Boys & Girls Club of Harlem is a non-for-proft organization dedicated to youth development by providing access and opportunities for young people in their community regardless of economic, social and family circumstances.

Game is getting married. The west coast emcee surprised his girlfriend Tiffney on Wednesday by popping the question at the Los Angeles elementary school where she teaches. Game and Tiffney have been together for seven years, and have a son and a daughter together. There’s no word on when the couple plans to tie the knot.

Game is currently getting ready to head out on the road for “The R.E.D. Album Tour.” The trek gets under way on October 20th with a show in San Diego. Game is touring in support of his latest release, “The R.E.D. Album,” which opened at number one on the Billboard 200 chart.

Ok! cover: Blake Lively steals Sandra Bullock’s man

As we mentioned in a recent story on Sandra Bullock’s adorable pirate-dressed son, it was only a matter of time before a tabloid seized on the “poor Sandra Bullock” angle in regards to the new romance between Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. Sandra’s recent photo op with Louis, which multiple photo agencies were privy to, was a loud message that she’s totally fine, happy and remains one of the hottest and highest paid women in Hollywood, thank you very much. OK! just didn’t get the message. Their new cover story is all about how Blake Lively stole Ryan out from under Sandra. Ryan was seen out with another maybe-manstealer, Olivia Wilde, just prior to his hookup with Blake. So I don’t think it’s fair to blame Blake, who is surely an opportunist when it comes to dating and may not have a lot of boundaries when it comes to taken men (see possibly Ben Affleck), but might not be responsible for this breakup. (I could be mistaken though.) Ryan probably had his eye on the door for a while. He’s been all over the place post-split with Scarlett and it’s not like he was ready to settle down with Sandy, for as much as we were hoping he would. Here’s more from OK!’s story. They go for some low blows by mentioning Sandra’s age in comparison to Blake’s.

In another soul-crushing blow, Ryan has dumped America’s Sweetheart for his Green Lantern co-star Blake Lively, recently split from Leonardo DiCaprio - and at 24, young enough to be Sandra’s daughter.

Sandra is hurt
While Sandra’s rep denies she and Ryan were dating, a source insists, “Sandra is crushed. She’s doing her absolute best to hold her head high and act as if she’s not bothered, but the truth is, she’s very hurt.
In recent weeks Ryan and Blake have been seen kissing all over Boston, where he’s filming his supernatural thriller R.I.P.D.

“For a while things between [Sandra and Ryan] were going so well, and she really got her hopes up,” the source adds. “That’s why she surprised Ryan by going to the premiere of his movie, The Change-Up. And then last month they had an incredibly intimate trip to her place in Wyoming. But then all of a sudden, Ryan went cold on her…”

“Blake always had a crush on Ryan,” the friend tells OK!. When she first got Green Lantern, she told everyone how excited she was. She always thought he was hot.” Adds another pal, “Blake’s been texting Ryan all week - every free second. They had instant chemistry on Green Lantern, but she said because he was married [to ScarJo], they didn’t see what could happen.”

[From OK! Magazine, print edition, October 24, 2011]

I doubt OK! has a source as they’re just recounting known details of Ryan and Sandra’s possible romance. I do think that Ryan and Sandra were together and I like to imagine it as sweet and hot for both of them while it lasted. As for how Sandra’s faring now, she’s probably hurt but I doubt she’s pining for Ryan. I bet she was cautious about it too, and didn’t fall too hard for him. I would love to see her with a guy who is fully committed to her, though. We’ve seen how horrible her taste in men can be.

OFFICIAL PICS & DETAILS: NBA Baller Chris Paul & Wife Jada Crawley's Wedding Day!

It was a fantasy wedding fit for a fairytale-like NBA couple The Pauls. We gave a few deets last month about what went down right before Chris Paul & Jada Crawley's Charlotte, North Carolina wedding-designed by Mr. Wedding Fab himself David Tutera.

Now Essence.com just released exclusive scoop and pics from inside the nuptials.
Check it ..

What a day it was! Three hundred guests traveled to Charlotte, North Carolina, to celebrate the lavish nuptials of New Orleans Hornet Chris Paul, 26, and his college sweetheart, Jada Crawley, 27. Aunties and cousins mingled with celebs and NBA superstars, including groomsman LeBron James. “Chris and Jada are like an extension of my family,” says James. “He’s like the brother I never had. I’m here for him no matter what — and not only for Chris but also Lil’ Chris and Jada.”

Support from friends and family has been a blessing for the couple. “Chris and I just are hometown, everyday people,” reveals Jada, who met Chris at a basketball tournament in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, during her sophomore year in college. “She used to wear Jordans,” recalls Chris fondly. “Jada was with me when I was broke.” Even so, Chris sometimes had to check family members when he first started dating Jada. “Sometimes they gave me the side-eye like, Is she here for the right reasons? But Chris stood up for me,” says Jada. “It made us stronger.”

That bond was strengthened even more with the birth of their son, Chris II, now 2. “People can say, ‘They had a baby out of wedlock,’ ” says Jada. “But when I got pregnant, Chris’ clubbing came to a halt because he wanted to be a good father. And being a good father meant being a better boyfriend.” Chris concurs: “Becoming parents made us closer.”

Chris proposed to his beloved in the same gymnasium where they met. R&B star Robin Thicke serenaded Jada as she walked down the aisle with her father, and guests gushed about the David Tutera–decorated reception. The bride wore Vera Wang, and the groom and their son wore Ralph Lauren. LaLa Anthony, who attended with hubby Carmelo, summed up what seemed to be on everyone’s mind: “Anytime two people who have been together that long, who are that in love and who are great parents...
 I can’t do anything but be happy for them."

FABULOUS EFREM LOVES LALAH!

GA Teacher Who Lost Job Over Facebook Loses Court Battle Too…

When was the last time you worried about your online reputation? Whether you think so or not, you could have an online reputation that could cause problems with your current employer.

That was the case with Bartow County school teacher, Ashely Payne. Payne lost her job after school officials questioned her about images posted on her Facebook page.
Payne says she was forced to resign from her job at Apalachee High School in August 2009 after someone claiming to be a parent sent an email complaining about her vacation pictures.

At issue were several shots of Payne smiling while holding alcoholic beverages during a trip to Europe and there was also a Facebook status update Payne had written, stating she was headed to a game of “Crazy Bitch Bingo” at a Midtown restaurant.

The young teacher subsequently filed a lawsuit, asking the court to determine that she was entitled to a due process hearing. She also sought back pay and money for legal fees, however Superior Court Judge Chief Judge David Motes ruled against her yesterday.

In the ruling, Motes notes that Georgia law maintains that if employees resign, even when their hands are forced, it doesn’t equal an involuntary termination.

Whooda thought that one could lose a job over a photo holding an alcoholic beverage?

How cognizant are you about what you post online?

You're a bit overdressed for Stringfellows aren't you? Rihanna finally covers up... at a strip club of all places

She's become famous for her daring outfits that often leave little to the imagination.
But last night Rihanna covered up, oddly enough at a strip club where most of the women who work there strip off all their clothes and go nude.
The 23-year-old left the world-famous strip club surrounded by her entourage, holding hands with one of the female members of her crew, and jumped into the back of her waiting car.
Rihanna wore a black top, tight jeans and high-heeled boots with a fur-collared aviator jacket, shades and a pair of sunglasses.

She accessorised with a large pair of hoop earrings with her curly hair pulled back off her face.
At the famous club, owned by Peter Stringfellow, the Good Girl Gone Bad singer would have been able to dine at its restaurant while observing the fully nude dancers.
Elsewhere private rooms are available as well as tables where the delights of the club's dancers or Angels as they're known are also on display.

Rihanna is in the UK as part of her Loud tour, last week she made headlines when she hopped on to a London Underground train to make her way to her own show at the O2 arena.
And, just a few weeks ago, she had a run in with a farmer in Northern Ireland after going topless while filming scenes for one of her new videos on his land. .

Jay Electronica Checks Game On Twitter Over Erykah Badu Lines

Jay Electronica Warns Game

Game is known for being the name drop king, but one of his recent mentions didn't sit too well with rapper Jay Electronica.
On the track “Martians vs Goblins” off his recently released The R.E.D Album, Game spits bars that imply he had sex with Jay Elec's child's mother Erykah Badu. “I spit like I had kids with Erykah Badu,” he raps in the song featuring Lil Wayne and Tyler, The Creator.

“I f*cked her on the day of that naked video shoot. I was sucking that p*ssy like it was wanton soup.”

The Roc Nation rapper wasn't to thrilled about the lines and took to Twitter to congratulate Game on his success and warn him to leave his baby moms out of it.

Royce Reed: I QUIT "Basketball Wives"!

Royce Reed is officially done with the Miami "Basketball Wives." Her ongoing beef with Evelyn, Jen, and the others is so last season. And Royce apparently may not be down for another round.

After 3 seasons of "Basketball Wives," Royce took to her twitter yesterday to say she's decided not to return for a 4th. She commented:

Good Afternoon! As of right now I have decided NOT 2return 4 Season 4 of BBW due 2 artistic differences.Things may change but as of now, NO!

I want to thank all my fans for your support.

She surprised her fans with the announcement...as well as VH1 themselves. Can't say that I blame her for throwing deuces though. Now that means no Royce and no Meeka. Who's next on the chopping block?

Meanwhile, the former FAMU cheerleader returned back to campus last weekend for Homecoming with her son Braylon. She hit the football field to cheer on the Rattlers with her fellow FAMU alumni. And she posted these pics:

She even showed off her skills that she's still got.

Fun times!

Cynthia Bailey Discusses Season 4 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta…

The people over at Wetpaint recenlty caught up with real “Housewife” Cynthia Bailey, who gave a few details on the new season as she hit Atlantic City, NJ with the Real Housewives live tour.

The newly wedded discussed her The Bailey Agency, her “school of fashion” and how viewers will get to see the “whole story” of the development of her new venture, “from beginning to end.”

Baily revealed a few key details about the highly anticipated season and says assures everyone that it’s gonna be good. She specifically states that it may just be the “best season ever.”

Cynthia will be shown adjusting to married life with entrepreneur Peter Thomas and the drama heats up.

She and Peter celebrated their 1st wedding anniversary with a lavish ceremony and things appear to be going well between the two. However, I personally predict that Bravo will zone in on Peter’s Summer legal issues to create a focal point of contention between Bailey and her sisters.

But wait… there’s more!
Cynthia dished to us that we can expect “tensions going on with a lot of the girls,” and in “[her] storyline especially.”

And no wonder! Not only does she have continued family drama aplenty — she admitted that “my sister and Peter still have some issues” — but you can also expect to see her claws come out more.

During the live show, Cynthia she explained that last season, she was a bit naive about what it took to survive the Housewives experience, but this season we’ll see a “different” side of her.

“I get a lot of payback this time,” she dished to the audience.

The drama even goes overseas. Cynthia explained during the show that the housewives take a trip to Africa next season, and “Africa will never, ever, ever be the same.”
Awww man! They done dragged sweet Cynthia down in the mud too? I guess if you play with pigs you have to get dirty sometime… *sigh*
The Real Housewives of Atlanta returns Nov 6th at 10pm.

UH-OH: The "Mahalia!" Production Company Says Sorry To Fantasia

I told you earlier that there was a lot of drama surrounding the "casting" of Fantasia Barrino as Mahalia Jackson in an upcoming film, and now the production company behind the film has come to the defense of the singer.

In a statement issued today, the company clears up the rumors about the movie's financing and how the Jackson family feels about Fantasia.

Here's their statement:

Double Dutch Productions, LLC. (DDP) extends apologies to Fantasia Barrino for the inaccurate, non-factual and disparaging statements of Ms. Barrino’s reputation, character and image, that was stated in the October 7, 2011 article of the NY Post’s Page Six column. 

The comments made in the article by financing broker Adrian Taylor, were not authorized, approved or condoned by the producers of DDP. The information and comments expressed within this article regarding the project were solely those of Adrian Taylor. Taylor is not an employee of this production company nor an active participant of any facet in the producing of this film. Taylor has been reprimanded on two previous occasions for speaking to the press about this project. He was told that he was not a spokesperson nor a producer of the film, nor involved in the production or publicity of the film. Mr. Taylor’s credit of Executive Producer will be valid only pending a final contract for financing. DDP and its producers disavow any statements or comments attributed to this article that were inappropriately made. Mr. Taylor does not speak for this company or the production of this film.

The Mahalia Jackson family has not made any negative comments non-what-so ever about Ms. Barrino and her participation in this film project.

We at DDP want to assure Ms. Barrino that in no way are we responsible for the information that was included in the article. ANY FUTURE COMMENTS FROM OUTSIDE PARTIES REGARDING THIS FILM THAT ARE NOT DIRECTLY PROVIDED BY DDP OR ITS PUBLICIST WILL BE DEEMED AS VOID, BOGUS AND INACCURATE.

Well.....I guess that clears up things. And from the tone of the letter, seems as though they are indeed still trying to get their money right like Fanny told Wendy Williams.

Supreme Court Declines To Reinstate Death Penalty For Mumia Abu-Jamal

The Philadelphia District Attorney's petition to reinstate the death penalty for Mumia falls short.

Though the outcome for Troy Davis was a tragic one, death penalty detractors saw a victory this week when the United States Supreme Court denied the Philadelphia District Attorney's petition to reinstate the death penalty for Mumia Abu-Jamal.

The Associated Press reports that Philadelphia prosecutors will have to pursue a second death penalty sentence for Mumia, who was convicted of killing police officer Daniel Faulkner in 1982.

The Court found that the death penalty instructions were potentially misleading.
"At long last, the profoundly troubling prospect of Mr. Abu-Jamal facing an execution that was produced by an unfair and unreliable penalty phase has been eliminated," said John Payton, president of the NAACP Legal Defense & Educational Fund. "Our system should never condone an execution that stems from a trial in which the jury was improperly instructed on the law."
The decision upholds a 2001 ruling by U.S. District Judge William H. Yohn Jr., first ruled that Abu-Jamal deserved a new sentencing hearing due to of flawed jury instructions regarding aggravating and mitigating factors.

Abu-Jamal, a former Black Panther, has spent almost 30 years on Death Row.

Tyler The Creator INTERVIEWS Nas For The November 2011 Issue Of "XXL"

Believe it or not, Nas has been in the music business for 20 years and in the latest issue of XXL, he goes on reflection mode. And he did an interview with controversial rapper Tyler The Creator of Odd Future. Read highlights from their interview inside.....
As Nas prepares to release his 10th studio album, Life Is Good, he sat down to reflect on his career with controversial rapper and Odd Future member, Tyler The Creator. It was fitting since hip hop heads see Odd Future as the future of the game. Past meet present meet future.

Tyler interviewed Nasty Nas for the November 2011 issue of XXL Magazine (on magazine racks Oct. 25) and here's some of the highlights.....
While the pair talked about a number of issues, one that stood out was the subject of happiness and his kids.

Tyler: “Are you, like—this question might catch you off guard, but I ask myself this—like, when you wake up, like, are you happy? Like, are you satisfied how everything turned out?”

Nas: “Dawg, I was naming my album Life Is Good because of how happy I am about how happy things have turned out. Sometimes I may wake up and wish my kids were living with me. That’s the only thing, you know what I mean? Our loved ones that are not around no more, like my mom. That’s the only thing. But other than that, everything is great, even when I’m alone. Even when there’s no one around.”

And the subject of longevity also came up with Tyler mentioning that he is 20-years-old, which is the same age Nas, Jay, and others were when they really burst onto the scene.

Tyler: “You, Em, Jay, Snoop, like, you guys all started when you was exactly my age. The fact that you guys are still here makes me just always think, like, Fuck, could I?”

Nas: “Oh, you definitely can. Someone like you is, you’re interesting, for a lot of reasons. So someone like you, you can’t wait to see what’s next.”

Nas also released a video for "Nasty" which has been getting good buzz in the streets and he's set to release a memoir in the new year.

I guess life is good!

Whitney Houston Fights Delta Crew‎ Over Seatbelt + New Movie

Whitney Houston is back in the news letting us know she’s still a Diva after almost getting kicked off a Delta Airlines flight yesterday. Get this all this drama started after she refused to buckle her seatbelt. Multiple sources are telling TMZ that Whitney boarded a flight in Atlanta Wednesday afternoon and when she settled into her seat, a crew member asked her to buckle up. Whitney refused and went off on the crew member until another crew member came over and warned Houston that if she didn’t buckle up, she would have to get off the plane.

Whitney eventually allowed one of the crew members to grab the buckle and fasten it for the singer — and the plane was then cleared for takeoff. Sources close to the singer say Whitney “overreacted a little bit after missing an earlier flight but she’s still 100% sober and was on the way to Detroit for her first day of shooting a new movie.”

This will be Whitney’s first return to movies since 1996’s The Preacher’s Wife, is in negotiations to star in Sparkle, Sony Pictures remake of the 1976 music-themed drama. American Idol winner Jordin Sparks and actor Mike Epps also are set to star. P.S. Did I tell yall Ray-J just moved to the ATL I wonder who she was seeing last weekend? Hummmmmm!!!!

Lil Wayne is Not Feeling Luther Campell

And the feeling is mutual. Earlier this week Luther Campbell wrote an edict vowing to expel Lil Wayne, Diddy and all of Cash Money from Miami if they didn't start giving back to the community.

Lil Wayne was not amused...
Luke's open letter reads in part,

I’ve got a message for Lil Wayne, his Cash Money Brothers, DJ Khaled, Puff Daddy and all the rappers from other parts of the country who now live in Miami. I’m tired of seeing these cats using up our beaches, soaking up our sunshine, taking over the nightclubs, and sleeping with our women without investing anything into the community. I want to know when Lil Wayne is going to do more than show up courtside at the American Airlines Arena. Hell, it’s not like he paid for them anyway. You know he got comped.

This free loading and mooching of my city has got to stop. There used to be a day when out of town rappers were scared to throw their weight around Miami. It didn't matter if they were coming from New York or Los Angeles, they knew better than to act like they owned this mother fucker.

I'm giving them a deadline. They got until January 1. If I don't see them giving back to the Magic City, I'm gonna have their Miami cards revoked. They won't be getting into any more nightclubs. They won't be able to go near our women. And Lil Wayne is gonna have to find floor seats for New Orleans Hornets home games because he won't be allowed inside the Triple A.

Lil Wayne responded in Twitter.

You can read Luke's entire letter here: http://blogs.miaminewtimes.com/riptide/2011/10/lil_wayne_and_dj_khaled_are_go.php%20

Chart Check: Adele Reigns Atop Singles Chart, Rihanna Rises

With their battle at the 2011 American Music Awards forthcoming, it seems the competition is already heating up on the charts. For chart titan Adele, the premiere of the ‘Someone Like You’ visual two weeks ago undoubtedly assisted its (re-)ascension to the top spot. The cut, the latest lifted from her multiplatinum ‘21′ LP, moved ‘Moves Like Jagger’ from its previous reign – checking Christina Aguilera and co. into the #2 spot for the third week in a row.

Rihanna, on the other hand, is finding herself getting two steps closer to dethroning the soulful songstress as ‘We Found Love’ rises from 9-7 in its second week on charts. And, with its accompany visual’s upcoming release, the song will assuredly get the boost it needs to get into the top 5 (if not top the tally).

Otherwise, the charts saw little movement with David Guetta and Usher’s ‘Without You’ remaining at #8 for a second week and chart titan Lady Gaga’s ‘You & I’ rebounding to round out the top 10 at #10.

Tamar Finds Out Mama Braxton Don’t Play

*When you’re Tamar Braxton you’re used to just popping off at the mouth and saying literally who knows what, followed by a “whatever.com.”

Well, while the cameras were rolling for season 2 of “Braxton Family Values,” it seems her mouth got her into some trouble with the home-folks who pushed back on her. In the clip below, she’s asking why they all attacked her for stating that she’s no longer interested in doing the doo-wop.com thing. (Ok, my words, not hers.)

You’ll also witness some delicious drama as Mama Braxton goes in on “Miss Dot Com” and reminds her who the mother is and who the daughter is up in heah!

Check it: 

Mama E should have smacked the taste out of her mouth for GP! Just as a reminder! Tamar is overthetop.com!
