TLC Will Play First US Concert In Seven Years

Access Hollywood has reported that R&B group TLC will play a concert in the U.S. for the first time in seven years, when the two remaining members reunite to sing for a benefit concert hosted by Justin Timberlake.

Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins and Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas will perform at the “Justin Timberlake and Friends” concert on October 17 at Las Vegas’s Mandalay Bay Events Center. The group’s third original member, Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, was tragically killed in a car accident in 2002.

Timberlake’s other guests will also include country singer Taylor Swift and R&B stars Alicia Keys and Ciara.

The benefit concert is connected with the 2009 Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, a weeklong benefit golf tournament.

It’s good to see TLC back, even if it’s just for this one time. TLC is a powerful group! I don’t say was because they are still an inspiration to people to this day. Even though Left-Eye is physically gone, her spirit still lives on and her lyrics and life will always be remembered. TLC is an amazing group and it will be good to see T-Boz and Chilli perform again.

PEACE.

Remembering Aaliyah (1979-2001)

“Aaliyah inspired me not only to continue being an artist but to be an individual– no matter who you are or what you do, be your own person, love who you are, and be proud of that.”
-Alicia Keys

“Every day was a special event, whether it was going to a store or going to a movie or just sitting in a house. Wherever we were was like our own little party, in our own little world.”
-Damon Dash

“To the world and to the fans Aaliyah was known as Aaliyah, but to us, her extended family, was known as babygirl. And I think that what we got to learn out of this is to appreciate each other while we’re here on Earth, and to never take for granted that someone will be here tomorrow.”
-Missy Elliott

Today is the eighth anniversary of R&B singer Aaliyah’s passing. 8 years ago today, Aaliyah was killed in a plane crash shortly after taking off along with other members of her crew after the shooting of her last video “Rock The Boat” in the Bahamas.

Aaliyah was a beautiful singer and a beautiful person. She is my favorite singer. I know I didn’t know her, but I felt like I did. Her music touched me and inspired me to keep singing. She had great style, amazing dancing skills, and wasn’t a diva like half of these singers out here today. More importantly, she was a good person who was loved by family and friends alike.

The story of Aaliyah’s life will be shown in a movie sometime next year. Canadian singer Keshia Chante is set to play her.

It’s very sad that she is gone, and sometimes, looking around at some of the R&B singers, I feel like she was gone too soon. But God wanted another angel and He definitely got one in Aaliyah.

Rest in peace Aaliyah Dana Haughton. You are loved and you are missed. Here are some of my favorite videos of the late great Aaliyah…ENJOY! Rest in peace Babygirl!

One In A Million

PEACE.

VH1 Star Ryan Jenkins Commits Suicide

Wow, just found out some disturbing news…By now, we all know that Ryan Jenkins, who appeared as a contestant on VH1’s Megan Wants A Millionaire, was accused of killing his model ex-wife Jasmine Fiore. Well yesterday, Ryan was found dead in his hotel last night of an apparent suicide in Canada. A spokeswoman for the California District Attorney’s office told the Vancouver Sun that he was found hanging inside his room at the Thunderbird Motel in Hope, British Columbia.

On Sunday afternoon, Mounties announced to media that Jenkins was hiding out in western Canada.

In addition to Megan Wants A Millionaire, Ryan was also going to be seen as a contestant in I Love Money 3.Megan Wants A Millionaire had been scrapped due to Ryan’s possible involvement in the crime, and I Love Money 3 was rumored to be scrapped as well.

Man, this situation is just so crazy. It’s too many deaths going on. It makes me wonder just what goes on through people’s minds now a days. It hasn’t been confirmed, but it looks like he probably did kill his ex, but why? Who knows what was going on through his head? It’s sad. I pray for the families of both Ryan and Jasmine. This situation is very very unfortunate. It’s sad to start the day with this….

PEACE.

Milla Jovovich Weds!

A lot of marriages and engagements going on lately, huh? Well, there is another one to add to the list. Us Magazine reported that Milla Jovovich wed Paul Anderson at their Beverly Hills home Saturday night. (And yes, above is a real picture from the wedding! If you want to see more, click this LINK)

Guests, including Patrick Dempsey, began arriving at 4:30 p.m. to the sound of Spanish flamenco music. The 20-minute ceremony began at 5:30 p.m. Milla wore a veil that covered her face, and a long, white sleeveless dress. Her hair was down and wavy, decorated with red flowers. Paul wore a beige suit.

After saying “I Do,” guests “cheered three separate times while the couple kissed,” a source told Us.

The couple are parents to 20-month-old daughter Ever Gabo, who wore a ballerina tutu. (Milla debuted her post-baby body in the September issue of Maxim.)

Milla met Paul in 2002 when he directed her in Resident Evil. She’s set to begin filming Resident Evil 4 next month.

She’s currently starring in thriller A Perfect Getaway alongside Steve Zahn. Paul most recently wrote and directed Death Race, which hit theaters in 2008.

It’s the third marriage for Milla, who wed Dazed and Confused costar Shawn Andrews in 1992 at age 16 (it was annulled two months later), and The Fifth Element director Luc Busson from 1998 to 1999.

Aww…congratulations guys!!!! Best wishes!!!

PEACE.

Antwon Tanner Pleads Guilty To Selling SS Numbers

One Tree Hill actor Antwon Tanner has pleaded guilty to selling more than a dozen Social Security numbers for $10,000, according to the Associated Press. Tanner told a federal judge in Brooklyn on Friday that he was a middleman, selling numbers someone else provided. He and his lawyer didn’t comment on how he got involved in the scheme.

Tanner is expected to get as much as a year in prison at his sentencing, set for Nov. 20.

The 34-year-old actor was charged in April with selling 16 Social Security numbers and three bogus Social Security cards.

Wow…I don’t even know what to say. This is crazy! Man, ok this man is really talented to me, and now what’s gonna happen? He is probably going to go away for a year and who knows what’s going to happen to his role on One Tree Hill. They may just decide to not deal with him no more and kill off his character. Ugh…not a good situation. Good luck dude.

PEACE.
