#TEAMUNBREAKABLE Janet Jackson’s Hawaii Stop was a Homecoming for Key players on her Team!
And behind the scenes of Jackson’s “Unbreakable” tour, four of her core team members are from Oahu. They are creative director and choreographer Gil Duldulao, assistant choreographer Whyley Yoshimura, makeup artist Preston Meneses and tour hair stylist Cassidy “Cassandra” Unciano.
Now working and living out of Los Angeles, they all say they are happy to be back home, even if it’s just for a little while, and they had some great advice for people looking to break into the industry.
Duldulao grew up in Kalihi and has been working with Janet Jackson for 20 years. “It’s amazing,” he said. “She is like family to me. She is such a sweet, loving, kind, creative genius.”
Kamehameha Schools graduate Yoshimura from Mililani started out dancing for Jackson when he was 18.
“I’ve grown to know her better, and she always has been the same though,” he said. “From the get-go, she treats all her dancers very well. She is one of the most giving artists and one of the best bosses. It’s weird to call her a boss, because she doesn’t act like a boss.”
Meneses and Unciano are part of Jackson’s glam squad. Maneses is from Waipahu and has been doing Jackson’s makeup for nearly 10 years, and Unciano grew up in Kalihi Valley.
“Just dream, honey,” Meneses said. “You can do it all if you can see it in your head. It can come true.”
Unciano said “she is so cool. She makes us feel comfortable, act normal and be ourselves. Once in a while, I still get the ‘OMG, this is JJ!'”
Duldulao is the one responsible from bringing the 808 team together. “If I see talent, pure talent, even if it’s from Hawaii,” he said. “We have so many talented dancers and talented artists in Hawaii who move to L.A., I’m going to put my time and love into someone.
“I would just like to give back and thanks to my mentors here, Marcelo Pacleb, Mara Bacon, Pam Sandridge and Jared Ake. They are very imporatant people in my life and I wouldn’t be here today without them.”
Anywho catch a performance piece from the show while in Hawaii

OH BOY! NFL Player Tevin Coleman of The Atlanta Falcons Nude Pics haved been Leak
Our friends over at The Aazah Post spilled tea that NFL running back Tevin Coleman of the Atlanta Falcons is the latest player to have his pictures leaked. There's a website out there that "catfish" ballers and asks them for naked pictures. Then when they send the pics, the site leaks them. Their first victim is Tevin.
Several fans are now freaking-out, since Coleman's face is clearly recognizable in the shameless selfies:
BlackPocahontas: "I question any man's sexuality that sends out pics of his naked butt cheeks!!!"
@A_Katzman83: "If the runningback thing doesn't work out, there's always a market for male porn... the number 9 comes to mind hehe @Teco_Raww."
Neph: "I think it's so corny to leak pics and videos and thirsty for anyone to send them to people who you aren't in a relationship with. Hell, it's risky to send them to people you ARE in a relationship with too. Many people are immature clowns. That being said, his body is A1."
Coleman has yet to respond….

Steve Harvey Sued by Private Jet Company for $205,000
Steve Harvey decided to trick out a private jet but then allegedly decided not to go through with the deal AFTER the company made all of his modifications — and now he’s being sued.
via TMZ: Business Aircraft Leasing claims the “Family Feud” star made a deal back in April to lease a Gulfstream G-IVSP S/N 1289. But standard features weren’t enough, according to the company … Steve wanted the interior modified to the tune of more than $400k … of which he’d pay half, according to the company.
As for what Steve wanted … custom carpet, a reconfiguration of the interior cabin from 16 seats to 14 seats, custom seat design and new upper and lower cabin sidewalls. The company says all the modifications were made in reliance of the contract.
Short story … Steve allegedly had a change of heart, never leased the jet and the company is on the hook for the improvements.
The jet company wants $205k minimum.
At least he’s not getting sued for the whole amount!

Charlie Sheen Admits He is HIV Positive; Paid $10M in Extortion Money
Charlie Sheen confirmed reports that he is HIV positive on NBC’s “Today” show Tuesday.
“I am in fact HIV positive,” the 50-year-old womanizer told “Today” host Matt Lauer.
Sheen said he’s known about his diagnosis for four years, and that he originally thought he had a brain tumor because he suffered from migraine headaches.
He said he also experienced drenching night sweats for 3 nights in a row.
“It is a hard three letters to absorb,” he said.
Sheen told Lauer that he didn’t know how he contracted the disease. But there are reports that Sheen had casual sex with male and female escorts, including M2F transvestites.
Sheen told Lauer it was “impossible” for him to transmitted the HIV virus to any of his sex partners.
Sheen said he confided in those he trusted and told them about his HIV status. He said that’s when the “shakedowns” began.
He said he paid “upwards of $10 million” to others to buy their silence.
When asked if he would continue paying, he replied “Not after today.”
Sheen’s personal physician, Robert Huizenga, told Lauer he has known Sheen for five or six years. He confirmed that Sheen’s HIV viral load is “undetectable.”
