It’s official. Tyler Perry is sick and tired of Spike Lee.
Perry and Lee are both phenomenal movie producers. Each with their own individual styles and views. Dr. Cornel West once compared the two, stating that “Spike Lee is great… Tyler Perry is good” but that comparison was subjective in my opinion.
While both men are successful in their own right, Spike has continued to blast Perry on the “buffoonish” nature of his central characters, like Madea and Mr. Brown.
Perry already told the haters to “let that sh*t go” a while ago, but he’s now totally OVER it and has officially told Spike Lee where to go…
I?m so sick of hearing about damn Spike Lee. Spike can go straight to hell! You can print that. I am sick of him talking about me, I am sick of him saying, ?This is a coon; this is a buffoon.? I am sick of him talking about black people going to see movies.
This is what he said: ?You vote by what you see,? as if black people don?t know what they want to see. Continue Reading…

Toya Carter celebrated the release of her new book recently with a book signing held at Barnes & Noble in College Park, Georgia.
In Priceless Inspirations, Toya takes her readers through the pain of being a teenage mother struggling to raise a child while still a child herself?without the benefit of the guidance of her own mother.
It may seem that Toya has it all, but hers has been a life of peaks and valleys. Abandoned by her parents as a child, Toya was passed from family member to family member as her mother sank deeper into an addiction to drugs.
It was during that time that Toya fell into the arms of a 15-year-old rising rap star named Dwayne Michael Carter, known these days as ‘Lil Wayne’, and ended up pregnant at the tender age of 14.
Using the words she recorded in journals she kept as a teen, Toya bares her soul by sharing her own personal struggles, using them to offer young women real and heartfelt advice about sex, relationships, motherhood and growing up.
Toya’s and Wayne’s daughter Reginae Carter is now a bright, talented 13 year old and she sent StraightFromTheA readers a lil shout out…

As Toya so eloquently stated in our One on One a few weeks ago, she has moved on from Wayne and has a whole new life, but it’s her wish to inspire young girls through her words and actions.

Shawntae “Da Brat” Harris is slowly but surely getting acclimated to life on the outside since her return from a 3 year “vacation stemming from that infamous bottle beatdown in an Atlanta club.
Da Brat is even back in the studio and riding high off of the success of her hot verse on the SoSo Def remix of Chris Brown’s “Look at Me Now”.
Michael Jackson must really mean a lot to Brat, who was incarcerated during the time of his death.
Recently, she felt the need to honor the pop icon in a very special way…? by getting a tattoo of his famous image on her leg! *sigh*
Check out Brat’s new Tatt below: Continue Reading…
