Celebrity photographer Michael Antonio sent over a few preliminary shots of Neffe & Frankie, taken during the recent photoshoot for the new line of SBShades.
Neffe looks amazing doesn’t she? But wait til you see Frankie! I gave you a sneak peek a few days ago in my behind the scenes coverage of the shoot, but nothing beats the final product: Continue Reading…
Keyshia Cole’s bio-mom Frankie Lons should be somewhere basking in the glow of her new grandson, but since Keyshia pretty much kicked all the drama to the curb, that’s not happening right now.
Especially after Keyshia had to officially respond to Frankie’s revelation of a “secret” wedding to her baby daddy, Daniel “Boobie” Gibson:

Of course that was all just an attempt to grab the attention away from Keyshia and her pregnancy. Now, after all that… Frankie just took another opportunity to steal the spotlight from Keyshia in a new YouTube video: Continue Reading…
Keyshia Cole’s sister Neffeteria posed for the above photo after being restyled by her BFF/stylist Dariel. You may remember him from my “Boy You So Pretty”post. Doesn’t Neffe look amazing! I wonder how much of her BET checks were spent on nip/tuck? But I digress…
Y’all are probably waiting for the other shoe to drop in the ongoing online saga of Keyshia Cole’s family fued, but they ain’t tryna give in to all the drama. The family has been trying to reel in all the negative energy and get back to what’s really important…. Family.
I’m sure they could entertain us for weeks with all the back and forth about Keyshia’s pregnancy and her mom Frankie spilling the beans about Keyshia & Boobie’s secret wedding. We never heard from Neffe but Lil Sis Elite put her two cents in letter too. But once Keyshia put the smack down in her official statement on the matter… it was a wrap!
Neffe, Frankie (and Elite) are all hoping for a shot at a second season for the trainwreck that’s known as “The Frankie & Neffe Show and Frankie hit YouTube to explain how the 2nd season will be different. Check out what she has to say below: Continue Reading…

I honestly was a bit pissed off when I saw someone had ganked my video from my Frankie Gives Relationship Advice + Her Emotional Red Carpet Exit post, but once I watched it, I could NOT stop laughing. Itzrag, the dude who “remixed” the vid is a dayum nutcase but he killed me and gave me life again with his rendition of Frankie’s “crackish” interview.

[Sidebar: It wasn’t me Frankie… but you gotta admit this is funny as hell!] Toodles! 😆
I caught up with Keyshia Cole’s bio-mom Frankie Lons on the red carpet of the 2009 BET Hip Hop Awards this past weekend. She was sporting a new wig, a new front grill and a new attitude as she dished the dirt on her attraction to younger men. Anyone who follows Keyshia Cole or the “Frankie & Neffe Show” is quite aware of Frankie’s young boy magnetism. Shoot… she pulls em quicker than Kim Zolciak used to pull Big Poppa’s AmEx Black card. Anyway, Frankie was quite candid in her response to my question of “How do you always keep a young sexy man on your shoulder?” In fact, she was quite profound in her explanation:
“I’m not a ‘cougar’… I’m just a damsel in distress. Really, actually men my age I can’t deal with em, cause they make me feel old. And Ladies I need to give you some game. If you get a younger man, then he’ll make you feel young. You won’t be bent over and walking slow.”

Just moments after my brief interview with Frankie, she stormed off of the red carpet. If you follow me on TWITTER, you were the first to find out that a fellow blogger asked her a question that suddenly brought tears to her eyes: Continue Reading…

In case you’ve been wondering what Keyshia Cole’s bio-mom has been up to while Neffe’s havin babies, well she’s still on her grind. Frankie recently made an appearance on “Judge Mathis” where she was awarded $5,000. She was suing a former employee for breach of contract but one of the defendants didn’t show up to court, so she won. No word on an air date, but watch out for it sometime during sweeps week
In addition to her recent windfall, Frankie has vowed clean up her life. She says she is giving up alcohol and cigarettes in an attempt to detoxify and also moved to a new place so that she could get away from some of her negative influences. To her family’s delight, she’s changed her social circle and dumped her young fiance. Now don’t think that Frankie has lost her groove, she still has a new youngster (a 23-year-old friend) who she goes to the movies with, but says things with him are just platonic.
I applaud her for cleaning up her act and wish her the best. Frankie can still be seen on BET’s Frankie & Neffe show, but she’ll also be making a few appearances on Monica’s new BET reality show and sharing the stage with Chico DeBarge in a play that’s being produced by Vivica Foxx. You betta work Frankie!!
