Cee-Lo Green is the latest artist to sign on for the re-telling of the 1976 classic blaxploitation flick Sparkle, about a trio of sisters who form a singing group to escape life in the ghetto...
Cee-Lo, who'll play the opening act for the sisters, joins Jordin Sparks in the title role, Whitney Houston as the mom, Carmen Ejogo as Sister and Tika Sumter as Deloris. Derek Luke has been cast as Stix, Omari Hardwick as Levi and Mike Epps has as Satin Struthers.

IF YOU EVER WANTT O GET NIPPED OR TUCKED.....THAILAND IS THE PLACE TO GO.....
Plastic surgery in Bangkok is not only popular among foreigners but it's also the "in" thing among middle and upper class Thais as well. The amount of people who have plastic surgery in Thailand is incredible. It would lead you to think that most common Thais have money but you would be in error thinking so. The main reason why so many Thais have plastic surgery is because it's so cheap and dependable.
Many Thai doctors have studied and practiced medicine abroad at institutions like:
•Cleveland Clinic
•Mayo Clinic
•Cedars-Sinai
•Johns Hopkins
•Harvard
•Columbia
The cost for general health care or plastic surgery in Bangkok can vary between different hospitals. The following is a small price sample average. some will cost more and some slightly less (for full price list please follow the links at the bottom of page).

BEST DIVORCE LETTER AND RESPONSE OF ALL TIME....
Dear Wife,
I’m writing you this letter to tell you that I’m leaving you forever. I’ve been a good man to you for 7 years & I have nothing to show for it. These last 2 weeks have been hell. ... Your boss called to tell me that you quit your job today & that was the last straw. Last week, you came home & didn’t even notice I had a new haircut, had cooked your favorite meal & even wore a brand new pair of silk boxers. You ate in 2 minutes, & went straight to sleep after watching all of your soaps. You don’t tell me you love me anymore; you don’t want sex or anything that connects us as husband & wife. Either you’re cheating on me or you don’t love me anymore; whatever the case, I’m gone. Your EX-Husband P.S. don’t try to find me. Your SISTER & I are moving away to West Virginia together!
Have a great life!
Dear Ex-Husband,
Nothing has made my day more than receiving your letter. It’s true you & I have been married for 7 years, although a good man is a far cry from what you’ve been. I watch my soaps so much because they drown out your constant whining & griping Too bad that doesn’t work. I DID notice when you got a hair cut last week, but the 1st thing that came to mind was ‘You look just like a girl!’ Since my mother raised me not to say anything if you can’t say something nice, I didn’t comment. And when you cooked my favorite meal, you must have gotten me confused with MY SISTER, because I stopped eating pork 7 years ago. About those new silk boxers: I turned away from you because the $49.99 price tag was still on them, & I prayed it was a coincidence that my sister had just borrowed $50 from me that morning. After all of this, I still loved you & felt we could work it out. So when I hit the lotto for 10 million dollars, I quit my job & bought us 2 tickets to Jamaica But when I got home you were gone.. Everything happens for a reason, I guess. I hope you have the fulfilling life you always wanted. My lawyer said that the letter you wrote ensures you won’t get a dime from me. So take care. Signed, Your Ex-Wife, Rich As Hell & Free! P.S. I don’t know if I ever told you this, but my sister Carla was born Carl. I hope that’s not a problem!

LET THIS BE A LESSON TO ALL TROUBLED YOUNG BLACK MEN....
Condemned cop killer Troy Anthony Davis was put to death at 11:08 p.m., local time, in the death chamber at Georgia Diagnostic and statistics prison in Jackson, Georgia.
Davis spent 22 years on death row for the shooting death of Savannah police Officer Mark PacPhail in 1989.
According to state witnesses, when asked if he had anything to say, Davis raised his head, looked at the MacPhail family and said, “I am sorry for your loss.”
Before prison nurses began the administration of the lethal drug cocktail, Davis said to prison officials, “For those about to take my life, may God have mercy on your souls.”
He told MacPhail’s 22-year-old son and Uncle, “I did not take your son, father, brother. I did not have a gun.”
To his family and supporters, Davis said, “look deeper into this case so you can really find the truth.”
As the anesthesia coursed into his veins, Davis yawned and blinked twice before losing consciousness. Nurses then administered a muscle relaxant to cease his breathing, followed by potassium chloride to stop his heart. The entire process lasted about 15 minutes.
Earlier that evening, Davis declined both his final meal and the Ativan sedative intended to “calm” him before execution.
Davis maintained his innocence until the very end. That’s not unusual for death row inmates, according to a group of former death row wardens.
“While most of the prisoners whose executions we participated in accepted responsibility for the crimes for which they were punished, some of us have also executed prisoners who maintained their innocence until the end,” the wardens wrote in a press release. “It is those cases that are most haunting to an executioner.”
Davis’ case became a symbol for anti-death penalty supporters around the world. A large crowd of Davis supporters, including local rapper Big Boi, stood vigil across the street the prison gates. The vigil was peaceful for the most part.
Just after 7 p.m., word filtered through the crowd that Davis had been granted a stay by the U.S. Supreme Court. The crowd erupted in jubilant celebration. But the information was erroneous. Davis’s execution was only temporarily delayed until the U.S. Supreme Court could hear final appeals from Davis’ layers.
At 10:18 p.m., Davis’ attorneys announced the Supreme court had rejected Davis’ last-minute motion for a stay of execution. There were no dissents in the Supreme Courts’ decision, meaning the court’s decision was unanimous.
Anderson Cooper interviewed Officer MacPhail’s mother Anneliese MacPhail during his AC 360 show earlier in the evening.
When asked about her thoughts on her son, she said: “I tell him, let this be over soon, so we have some peace. We love you, we miss you.

OBAMA STAFFERS MEET WITH HBCU PRESIDENTS....GOOD NEWS FOR BLACK COLLEGE STUDENTS!
Washington (CNN) -- College presidents from predominantly black institutions across the country gathered in the nation's capital Monday for a conference commemorating National Historically Black Colleges and Universities Week.
The two-day conference, titled "HBCUs: Engaging the World Anew," began just days after President Barack Obama signed a proclamation making official the designation for the week of September 18-24.
It's part of a White House effort to promote the president's goal of creating the best-educated and most competitive and diverse workforce in the world by 2020, the White House said in a written statement.
In February 2010, Obama signed an executive order renewing an initiative on historically black colleges and universities, establishing a presidential board to advise the White House on matters pertaining to strengthening the educational capacity of these institutions.
John Wilson, executive director of the White House initiative, opened Monday's conference, which features a variety of panel discussions, break-out sessions and speeches. They will focus on minority presence in the workforce, technology and innovation, and working with small businesses and developing partnerships.
Wilson was followed by a senior adviser to the president, Valerie Jarrett, who discussed the importance of the historically black institutions to the president's education agenda.
The 2011 HBCU Week Conference will continue Tuesday when Education Secretary Arne Duncan is expected to deliver remarks on the Obama administration's priorities to support the schools and commend the progress that the colleges and universities have made in preparing students for jobs of the future.
South Carolina Rep. James Clyburn will also speak on the final day of the conference, according to the White House. He will demonstrate the government's commitment by outlining federal funding for historically black institutions.
The 2011 fiscal year budget includes money to strengthen undergraduate and graduate programs, provide financing for the repair, renovation, and construction of educational facilities, and increase the Pell Grant maximum award for students in need of financial support.
The nation's 105 historically black colleges and universities are located in 20 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and serve more than 300,000 undergraduate and graduate students, the White House said.

BEWARE OF BOOSTING DRAG QUEENS IN FLORIDA....
A word to the wise: if you’re a drag queen intent on committing petty larceny, make sure your hairline is edged and laid. Because if you are arrested, your wig will be snatched for your mug shot.
According to Gawker.com, a gang of cross-dressing drag queens that terrorized Florida in search of drag paraphernalia has been caught.
“It’s a whole gang of drag queens,” said Amanda Marshall, manager of Jo-Ann Fabrics on East Colonial Drive in Orlando, where police arrested three suspects Sunday afternoon.
“They were real upset when the police made them take their wigs off.”
The marauding gang were charged with boosting “thousands of dollars of filmy fabrics, sequins, feather boas and other accessories” from stores across Florida, according to police.
One man, wearing a tank top and multi-colored tights, was spotted stuffing the following drag queen essentials into a handbag:
Five packs of black feathers, two packs of red feathers, two packs of red lace gloves, two packs of black red lace gloves, eyelashes, five bra pads, five butt pads, five gel inserts as well as three handbags, two boas, three pairs of costume glasses and 10 bandanas.
“They’d come in and order yards of fabric at up to $39.99 a yard, stuff it in their man purses and leave without paying,” Marshall said. “Oh, gosh, they could wipe out a whole section of boas in seconds…”
When confronted, some of the suspects voluntarily handed over merchandise to the staff while others bolted through the front door. One of them, Demitri Marsh, 19, swore at a clerk and threatened to cut her before fleeing, reports state.

A $1,000 Emergency will be Difficult for Most Americans to Handle....
Sixty four percent of Americans don’t have enough cash on hand to handle a $1,000 emergency expense, according to a survey by the National Foundation for Credit Counseling, or NFCC, released on Wednesday. Only 36% said they would tap their rainy day funds for an emergency. The rest of the 2,700 people polled said that they would have to go to other extremes to cover an unexpected expense, such as borrowing money or taking out a

SPARKLE GETS REMADE WITH ALL STAR CAST STARRING WHITNEY HOUSTON....
Whitney Houston's 1992's hit, "The Bodyguard" fades out with one of the most memorable ballads in movies, "I Will Always Love You."
Though it's been a sort of roller coaster for the R&B icon, those who stayed true are in luck: Houston will be making a reentry into film.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actress is now in negotiations to star alongside Jordin Sparks and Mike Epps in "Sparkle," the remake of the 70s music-themed drama.
Originally, "Sparkle" was based on the story of The Supremes, which narrates three sisters' rise to the top from their humble beginnings at a Harlem church choir.
"American Idol" winner, Sparks, will play the lead in the film, with Houston playing her somewhat discouraging mother. This is the first movie the Houston has starred in since 1996, in "The Preacher's Wife."
Sparkle is a 1976 American film directed by Sam O'Steen and released by Warner Bros. Pictures. Inspired by The Supremes, Sparkle is a period film set in Harlem, New York during the late 1950s and early 1960s which follows the rough lives and careers of singer Sparkle Williams and her family and friends.
The film stars Philip Michael Thomas (later of Miami Vice fame), Irene Cara, Lonette McKee, Dwan Smith, Mary Alice, Dorian Harewood, and Tony King. Curtis Mayfield served as the composer and producer of Sparkle's songs and score.

WHAT A TRULY DUMB CHICK LOOKS AND SOUNDS LIKE....
On if she is back with Gilbert
Yes, we are, and we plan to get married soon. When and where, I don’t know yet. I feel like we’re already married though, ten years, four kids later. People say he’s a mess, and I’m a mess. You know what, we’re each other’s messes. Everybody has breakup and make-up moments. It just so happens that ours is out in the public. You learn to grow. At this point in our lives Gilbert and I have been there, done that; the drama, the chaos. We’re older now, and we’re more mature. Now we’re better parents, and we’re taking the steps to make things better. Regardless of our past, we want our kids to see a good future.

SHOUT OUT TO THE J-SETTERS.....
J-Setting is a is a highly stylized modern lead and follow style hip hop dance, characterized by cheerleading style sharp movements to an eight-beat count music.
Popular in southern U.S. African American gay clubs, like the vogue-style before it, it became popular by exposure in a pop music video, this time the 2008 Beyonce Knowles single Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It).
In 1970, former majorette Shirley Middleton became troupe leader of the Jackson State University cheerleading group, The Prancing Jaycettes. Middleton wanted something different, and so threw away their batons, and began dancing in formation. Based on a classical cheerleader eight-beat style, the signature thrusts, pumps, and high kicks were developed into a lead-and-follow "wave" through the troupe.
However, the style was strictly reserved for women only until 1997, when male troupe baton twirling member DeMorris Adams, was asked to fill in for an injured female troupe member. After this, although the performing troupe was still female, the crowd supporters started to grow from the colleges gay community
In the early 1990s, young gay men brought the style back to their home towns, and the distinct and often intricate style that is now J-Setting developed in nightclubs like Club City Lights in Jackson, Mississippi; Incognito, Allusions, and 901 in Memphis; and Club 708 in Atlanta.
J-Setting gained popularity in part because it was sharp, and due to its lead and follow nature, meant another dancer could intimate interest through following someone elses lead.

LOVE YOURSELF AND SET THE TONE....
:: "LOVE doesn't disrespect you, LOVE doesn't emotionally or physically abuse you, LOVE doesn't avoid the responsibility of being a father, LOVE doesn't attack your self esteem, LOVE doesn't neglect you, LOVE doesn't lead you on with hopes of long term commitment only to never follow through. Now LOVE yourself and set the tone for him".-
