PATTY JACKSON'S 4-1-1
WEEK ENDING: April 13th, 2012

 

Is Bobbi Kristina going to be the next big reality star? Bobbi Kris, the 19-year old daughter of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, is in talks to star in her own reality show. Bobbi Kris is no stranger to reality TV. She was featured in her dad’s reality show Being Bobby Brown in 2005. Bobbi Kris will also be featured in Tyler Perry’s TBS sitcom For Better Or Worse. Will she be able to handle all this? Family members are not happy with her. They feel Bobbi Kris never mourned her mother’s death.

Speaking of Whitney Houston, her autopsy report was made public last week. It ruled her death an accidental drowning, but other things noted will create a lot of buzz. For example, the coroner found scaring on Houston's body. That scaring is consistent with breast implants and a tummy tuck. Tabloids have been reporting for years than Houston had work done. The report doesn’t acknowledge the facelift the tabloids have always referenced. It does acknowledge Houston’s missing teeth. More than likely, just like the loss of her voice, as a result of her drug use.

Changes are coming to the Bravo show The Real Housewives Of Atlanta. Sheree Whitfield is out, and Singer Monica could be replacing her. I also hear Monyetta Shaw could be joining the cast. Shaw has two kids by her boyfriend Singer Ne-Yo. Monica is married to L.A. Laker Shannon Brown. Whitfield is devastated by her firing. She needs the money and loved the stardom the show brought her. Sources say NeNe Leakes makes a million dollars a season on the show, and is basically seen as its star. Did NeNe have Sheree fired? Sheree is one of the original stars of the show along with NeNe..

Vanessa Williams is ready to tell all. In 1983, Williams became the first African American to win to the title of Miss America. She lost the crown and title a few months later when she surfaced in a nude photo scandal. Williams wrote the book with her mother Helen. In the book, You Have No Idea, she talks for the first time about being molested by a woman when she was ten-years old.

Actress Paula Patton (a.k.a. Mrs. Robin Thicke) has signed on as the new spokesperson for Pepsi’s new cola, Pepsi Next. It has the same cola taste but 60 percent less sugar. Patton has also signed on for the movie 2 Guns with Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg. 

The divorce proceedings between Singer Seal and Supermodel Heidi Klum are taking a nasty turn. Klum is worth $70 million, and Seal wants her money and joint custody of their four kids.

Oprah Winfrey’s OWN cable network has announced some new shows coming soon. Comedienne/Actress Kim Coles will be hosting the game show Are You Normal America. Iyanla Van Zandt has been given the green light for her show Iyanla: Fix My Life. A third season has been ordered for Welcome to Sweetie Pie’s, and Ohio’s first sextuplets are getting their own reality show with their parents in Six Little McGhees.

The BET network has renewed the show The Game for a sixth season and the show Let’s Stay Together for a third season. There has been no word yet on the Tracee Ellis Ross-Malcolm Jamal Warner family sitcom Reed Between The Lines

 

One of the most anticipated movies of the year has to be Sparkle. The movie features Whitney Houston in her last movie role and it also stars Jordin Sparks, Mike Epps, Derek Luke, Cee-Lo Green, Carmen Ejogo and Tika Sumpter.

 

Gabrielle Union is on a roll. She is one of the stars of Think Like A Man. Check her out on the cover of the latest issue of Jet magazine. She also has a new show coming up on BET, Being Mary Jane, from the producers of The Game.

Producer Shonda Rhimes has a hit on her hands with her latest ABC drama Scandal. Scandal stars Kerry Washington and Columbus Short. I like the fast pace of the show. Rhimes also has Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice. Scandal airs Thursday nights at 10pm on ABC. Washington plays “Olivia Pope,” a woman who gets the job done as a Washington enforcer.

The FOX network is gearing up to mark 25 years on the air. Sunday, April 22nd it’s their silver special with The Wayans (In Living Color), The cast of Married With Children, and Calista Flockhart (Ally McBeal) will be on hand, just to name a few. In other FOX news, FOX News Channel has hired Jesse Jackson’s oldest daughter, Santita Jackson, as a liberal voice on their network. Santita is a radio host in Chicago.

The Jacksons are going on tour. It’s The Unity Tour with Tito, Jackie, Marlon and Jermaine. They are doing a show June 29th at the Borgata in Atlantic City.

Former Football Star Warren Sapp has filed for bankruptcy. Sapp says he’s broke, and he’s lost his Superbowl ring. Sapp won the ring back in 2002. He is millions of dollars in debt, and he owes hundreds of thousands in back child support to four different women.

Pam Grier’s autobiography could be coming to the big screen. Grier says if it happens she wants everybody’s go to actress, Halle Berry, to play her on the big screen.

O.J. Simpson is feuding with his daughter Arnelle. Simpson, 64, is currently serving a 33-year prison sentence on kidnapping, armed robbery and assault charges. He was sentenced in 2008. Simpson put his daughter in charge of his affairs, but she has let his Florida home go into foreclosure. Apparently, Arnelle has not paid the mortgage in two years. Friends say Arnelle has been drinking and partying, and she figures her dad isn’t getting out of prison anytime soon. O.J. Simpson knows his daughter is squandering his NFL pensions on shopping and booze.

 The Hudson Family murder trial is getting underway in Chicago. Jennifer Hudson’s family members were murdered in 2008. William Balfour is on trail for the deaths of Hudson’s mother (Darnell Donerson), brother (Jason Hudson) and seven-year old nephew (Julian King). Balfour, 30, faces a maximum life sentence. Jury section has been finalized. Sources say Balfour, who was married to Jennifer Hudson’s sister Julia, had made threats to the family before. Jennifer says she plans to be there for every day of the trial in Chicago.

View Co-Host Sherri Shepherd is still in shock after being eliminated from Dancing With The Stars. Shepherd cried like a baby after being the third contestant to be booted off the show. Shepherd had been working really hard on the show, and she thought she would last a while. Next week, the judges are going to decide on who gets the boot.

Singer Montell Jordan is best known for his hit song This Is How We Do It, but right now he is having a hard time with the I.R.S. They claim he owes them over $600,000. Jordan says he settled the debt a while ago. He is just waiting for funds to be released from a business deal where he sold the rights to his music catalog. Jordan has also written and produced huge hits for others like Deborah Cox (Nobody’s Supposed To Be Here) and Sisqo (Incomplete) to name just a couple.

 

 

 

Congrats to Think Like A Man Co-Star Meagan Good. She’s getting married. Good is engaged to DeVon Franklin. Franklin is an executive at Sony Pictures, and he is a Seventh Day Adventist Preacher. He co-produced the movie Jumping The Broom, which co-starred Megan and where the couple began dating. Franklin also worked with Bishop T.D. Jakes on the upcoming Sparkle movie.

Is a black bachelor coming to ABC? In an effort to boost ratings and interest in the show The Bachelor, producers may cast an African American male to pick from the competing bachelorettes. Word has it a Portland, Oregon sportscaster, Lamar Hurd, may be cast on the show.

We had a great time at the Philly premiere of Think Like A Man. The Steve Harvey film opens in theatres on the 20th. I loved this movie, very funny and the cast is great! The movie is based on Harvey’s bestselling book. Taraji P. Henson, Kevin Hart, Michael Ealy, Jerry Ferrara, Regina Hall, Terrence J, Romany Malco, Meagan Good, Gabrielle Union, Gary Owens and Jennifer Lewis lead an all-star cast. The cameos are going to blow you away. Think Like A Man is sexy, romantic and very funny. Make plans to see this movie because people are going to be talking about it for a while. Yes! Believe the hype. Think Like A Man is a great movie.
