I had to disappear for a minute yesterday and caught a ton of flack from a few folks but it’s OK. My girl Monica’s song “Don’t Take It Personal” made me put everything in perspective. This old school joint came on the A-pod while I was on my mini road trip and I promise you…I had to hit repeat about 3 times! Like for real…sometimes a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do…Don’t take that sh*t so personal! and speaking of personal. Some larger than life bloggers are really *cough*? feeling themselves these days! They take and take without giving credit, then whine about not being acknowledged as a source. I just want to put it out there that there are several blogs that I personally read on a regular basis….and yours is NOT one of em. It ain’t that serious. Get over yourself…

Monica is just one of several other R&B singers and celebs slated to join a new BET reality series entitled, “Played by Fame.” The show is scheduled to premiere Fri, Jan. 30th and will reportedly pair celebrities with unsuspecting fans.
In vein of recent BET series like ‘Hell Date’, patience is tested and boundaries are broken as celeb-fanatics partake in what appears to be the best opportunity of their lives — spending the day with their favorite celebrity. But reality quickly sets in as a series of pranks turns what started off as a dream day into the worst time of their lives!
Former BET ‘Hits’ and MTV Punk’d host Al Shearer will host the new series that will also feature Lamman Rucker (‘Why Did I Get Married’), Wendy Raquel Robinson (‘The Game’), Bobby Brown, E-40, Keshia Knight-Pulliam, Kel Mitchell, Bobby Valentino, Tichina Arnold (‘Everybody Hates Chris’), Eva Marcille, and Melyssa Ford.
‘Played By Fame’ will air Friday, Jan. 30 at 10pm on BET. (Source)
I can’t wait to see Mo’s “A”zzz pranking somebody…and with Hits back on the scene, I’m sure this show is gonna be off the chain! BTW…speaking of Hits, he hasn’t lost a bit of his funny. Check out a classic clip from the prankster below 😆 (Slightly NSFW): Continue Reading…

Flix ~ Monica Throws Rocko “Surprise” Birthday Bash, Addresses Wedding Rumors + T.I. Crashes The Party
Monica threw her fianc?, Rocko, a huge birthday party at Straits Restaurant in Atlanta. The spot, owned by Mo’s cousin Chistopher Ludacris Bridges was packed wall to wall with all of the couple’s celebrity friends. 
Derek Blanks, Shawty Lo and his wife, D.Woods, Kandi Buress (xscape), Jerry Clark (island def jam), Sheree Whitfield, Paster Troy, Young Ralph, Yung Joc, Jazze Pha….hell, even Dekalb County CEO Vernon Jones popped in for a piece of cake! I went, thinking that the birthday bash was going to be Monica & Rocko’s wedding reception. I’m sure you noticed that I still referred to Rocko as Monica’s fiance…well, that’s because the two haven’t eloped and I was angry for nothing. Monica cleared up the ‘secret wedding’ rumor and stated that B. Cox referring to her as Rocko’s wife is not unusual. They don’t think of her as his ‘baby momma’ and it’s a respect thing. Plus, she added that Bryan has been privy to intimate details of their plans for the big day.
The two lovebirds sat like the king and queen of the ‘A’ at the head of a table full of their friends and family but one self proclaimed king must have been home alone a bit too long cause he made a surprise visit to escort his queen home. Continue Reading…
Did Monica Have a “Secret” Wedding?
Y’all dragged me off of my Christmast vacaction with this one! I’ve received emails, phone calls and knocks on my front door of people asking me wassup with Monica. Apparently word on the street is that Monica and her boo Rocko have been living in wedded bliss for some time now and haven’t told anyone…*cough* “Anyone” meaning?me! Monica, the mother of two of the cutest kids I know, and her perpetual fiance?Rodney?Ramone Hill, Jr., aka?Rocko Da Don. are rumored to have tied the knot.
Super producer Bryan-Michael Cox let the cat out of the bag during a recent interview:
Question: Back in the day Brandy and Monica were sort of the touted R&B/Pop queens, much like you have let?s say Rihanna and Beyonce today. Working with Monica, who now has children and a family life, was the experience of producing for her new album a challenge?
?
Bryan Michael Cox: Monica, she?s a mother, a WIFE and all of that right now and she?s a young woman. She was really open. She didn?t want to make a ?Oh I?m married and I have to do this? type of album. She still wanted to make a young and fly album.?(Source)Monica herself has also been known to call Rocko her hubby and indicated that they were married in an interview earlier this year. ?I, for one, am happy for the couple but disappointed that I didn’t receive my INVITE. ?Wassup with that MO?? 😕 ?

Monica and Brandy reunited last night during a “surprise” performance onstage. ?The pair performed “The Boy is Mine” for the first time together in 10 years and the crowd went wild. ?I actually enjoyed the lil bit of the performance I saw while fighting with the crowd to get flix. I’m still p*ssed about not getting my footage but I’m not even going to hate on the event or the event staff…let’s just say they were less than?accommodating.
