Can you guess who the black jean suit wearing subjects are in the family portrait above?
I covered the dad’s face simply because it’s so recognizable, but mom and daughter look totally different nowadays!
[Hint: She’s a reality show diva and he’s a rapper…]
Have you figured it out yet?
The answers you seek are under the cut… Continue Reading…
As he serves the remainder of his 11 month prison sentence, Clifford “T.I.” Harris sends fans (and Tiny) some Mother’s day love in a video.
[Sidebar: I originally thought Tip was sending us love from his jail cell, but since he’s obviously rocking the same gear from his “Holiday Message” video, it’s evident that Tip was merely thinking ahead.]
Being that Tips new wife Tameka “Tiny” Cottle-Harris hasn’t seen her boo in a while due to circumstances beyond her control, I can only image how much this pre-recorded video means to her.

It’s official… Monica Brown is going prime time!
Mrs. Shannon Brown will join fellow ATLien Cee-Lo Green on NBC?s new hit talent show ?The Voice.?

Tyler Perry was the butt of a slew of jokes once again as South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone mocked an animated version of the super movie producer.
In a new episode, entitled ?Funnybot,? South Park attempts to pick up where The Boondocks left off… but they played it way safe.
South Park is always funny as hell, but nothing will ever beat the hilarity of that Boondocks “PAUSE” episode or the fact that Perry actually spoke to lil ole ME about it!
But I digress…

According to the RIAA, Jenn’s 2nd studio album officially went Gold April 25th after hitting 500,000 in sales, but the glamorous mom picked up her plaque during a ceremony held May 4, 2011.
Jenn’s mentor, veteran label chief, talent scout and record producer Clive Davis was also present for the special presentation.
Congratulations Jennifer!!

I dunno about you… but NeNe Leakes’ “stereotypical angry black woman” bit is gettin’ real old…
Leakes recently “performed” her shucking & jiving loud mouth act for the radio listeners of Russ Parr’s morning show a few days ago.
When Alfredas, one of Parr’s female co-hosts, asked the Real “Housewife” if she was a bully, NeNe promptly showed her just how much of one she could be…. and it wasn’t pretty!
I don?t know what you been watching because nobody has said that I seem like I?m the bully on ?Celebrity Apprentice.?
I know I?m not a bully and everybody has their opinions and that?s fine with me.
You?re not on the show, I am. So you don?t know what goes on.
Alfredas: You?re being a bully now, I?m just asking you a simple question.
NeNe: And I?m just answering your simple question.
Defensive much?
And that ain’t all. In response to being called a bully, NeNe points out that everyone talks about the negative and never anything positive that she does….
It?s really hilarious how people like to pick the bad things out and they have nothing good to say (as in your co-host that?s on the radio with you) because I came on the show to interview and you?re just strictly talking about a bully.
You haven?t said that I was positive at all.
[Sidebar: Has NeNe ever been positive? Shoot… every time I see her on anything she’s yelling and ackin’ a fool. Maybe her loud mouth drowns out the positivity… just a thought.]
In the morning show interview, NeNe also addresses Star Jones calling her “uneducated”
