Well, Payne can count her blessings? once again now that a judge decided to waive jail time for her latest shoplifting arrest.
I believe this aired back in April 2012, but since I don’t watch a lot of daytime television, this totally flew under my radar until loyal reader “DeirdreP” brought it to my attention.
Berkus was hilariously enamored by Park’s Donkey Booty, but the two managed to keep things in check by discussing classic southern delicacies like red velvet cake and sweet tea.

Former TLC singer Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas was spotted working out with a personal trainer recently in Mableton, GA.
The last time I saw Chilli she was boo’d up with Tyrese on the set of his video for his single, “Nothing on You”.
With everything else going on, I almost forgot that she was in the video and haven’t even bothered to post it.
Til today…. 😯

After all that, T-Boz is still keeping on.? And it’s good to see her laugh and smile on a recent interview with LSO Radio. 
During her stint on-air, Watkins spoke publicly about VH1’s plans to do a biopic on the Atlanta-based girl group, stating:
Yes… TLC is doing a movie. They’re starting to do movies on VH1. So they’re doing icons and legends and we’re the first of the movies to be picked. Yaaaay!
It’s exciting. It’s like Waterfalls being made, it’s scary. Like ‘Oh My God.. if I tell you my story are you gonna do it right?’
I almost wanted to do it like The Jacksons’… break it down into like 5 episodes or something cause we have so much stuff….

[2011 Soul Train Awards Red Carpet PHOTOS]
It’s been about 3 years since Keri killed her career caused a ton of controversy after telling an Atlanta radio station that she wanted “to be distanced from” her ‘Turnin’ Me On’ remix, the “diss track” she recorded about Beyonce, but word on the curb is that Keri’s still taking shots at Queen B.

What happened next will no doubt be added to Keri’s list of losses for 2011 (which includes Keri’s insensitive tweet just days after Amy Winehouse’s death, her constant display of worldwide crotch-ism PLUS Hilson being sucker punched onstage by what was most likely a disgruntled Beyonce Stan).
