Whatever the case, Porsha herself has added her 2 cents during her appearance on ‘Dish Nation’ last week, and she totally disputes reports that she was hospitalized after the incident, stating:
“I’m sitting right here. I can even twerk today to show you I have not been hospitalized like that.”
Chris Tucker has disappointed many a fan during his appearance a few days ago on The Tom Joyner Morning Show.
The “A” list comedian/actor hit up Joyner’s morning radio show last Friday and denied he’ll be participating in “Last Friday,” the highly anticipated final “Friday” sequel.
In earlier reports, Ice Cube hinted that Chris was on board, although he admitted that nothing was final until Chris showed up on set.
Tucker spoke to Joyner and his crew about his issues with Uncle Sam as well as his desire to return ot stand-up comedy, but when asked about the Friday sequel, Tucker says he doesn’t think ‘it would be as special’ to do another one.

In case you haven’t heard, Foxy Brown was booted from Tom Joyner’s Fantastic Voyage cruise last week.
The fiery rapper ( real name: Inga Marchand) has been known to pitch a fit every now and then, but apparently old school radio host Tom Joyner is not the one to be messed with!
Joyner explained on his show last Friday (March 25), that he kicked Brown off of the cruise after her bad attitude became too much of a hassle.
“We put Foxy off the cruise. Let’s just say she got put off. You had to really act a fool to get put off,” Joiner explained on air.
According to Joyner, Brown’s behavior was so bad that she had to be “sent to her cabin” and “locked in … but that wasn’t enough.”
Brown hit up twitter to dispute the morning show host, referring to him as “Grandpa” and stating that whatever he said on the radio was a lie because she got much love while on the cruise ship. [click HERE to read her tweets]
Foxy claimed she felt the best way to handle the situation was to head to Belize to vacation with her “pumpkin” Shyne.
Neither Joyner or Brown actually elaborated on the details, but now the TRUE story of why Foxy was booted from the cruise has finally been revealed!
