Tiny & Toya held a private viewing party last night for the world premiere of their new BET reality show “Tiny & Toya” and were joined by all of their friends and family.
Tiny’s former bandmate and newly inducted Atlanta “housewife” Kandi Burress came through for support.
The show has gotten mixed reactions so far but one thing’s for sure, everybody’s gonna be glued to their sets. In case you missed it, you can catch the entire first episode below: Continue Reading…
Atlanta’s own Keri Hilson performed on her first major awards show wearing her ode to Michael Jackson….glittery socks and all.? The diva performed “Turnin Me On” and “Knock You Down” and for her tribute to the King of Pop, Keri performed a brief dance number while Kanye’s verse “Bad Real Bad…Michael Jackson” repeated in the background.
I was waiting on Keri to belt out a classic MJ tune but was disappointed (yet again) all I could do was yell at the screen:
“Dance…Spin…Grab Yo Crotch… SOMETHING!! Dayum!”
Remember that game where you fell backwards hoping someone would catch you?
Keri obviously has no problems with trust…

SouljaBoy Tellem & Keri Hilson always show much ATL love for each other and get my vote for hottest couple at last nights 2009 BET Awards show (Sorry Bey/Jey).? You can’t deny how adorable they look together. Everytime these two share a photo there’s so much chemistry the camera seems to melt…remember when he let her rock his chain at Timbaland’s Grammy Party?? Well, I said it then that SB was tryna push up. I know what you’re thinking but Aaliyah said it best: age ain’t nothin but a number. Look at that gleam in SB’s eye…he’s got plans for Keri! 😆
Stay tuned.

Have you received this email recently about the missing 3 year old named Jewel Strong?
Missing 3 year Old Girl
You never know, who knows whom
Another child missing.
Please forward to everyone you know.
Her family needs your help finding her.
The email has been circulating for about 3 years now, beginning in 2006. It’s not a complete hoax,? little Jewel Strong (pictured above) was actually missing but not as the result of an abduction or runaway.? The Jonesboro tot, who was 3 years old in 2006, was vacationing along with her family in Panama City Beach.? The child and her 18 year old aunt were playing in a float in the water and were caught in strong currents.? Rescuers were able to rescue the aunt, but the 3 year old was swept under the water and could not be found.
Over the course of several weeks, rescuers conducted an intensive search of the child by boat, divers and helicopter. Sadly they turned up nothing.? Little Jewel’s distraught parents held out hope that she was alive and well somewhere but all signs point to the small child drowning and being swept away by the strong currents.
It’s a sad sad story that has developed over the course of these three years. The parents refused to give up hope and went through hell and high water to find their child. I did a lil internet research and compiled what’s been going on with the case all these years. If you got that email again today and are interested in Jewel’s story check it out below:
Atlanta bred comedian Shawty (What Yo Name Is) seems a lil bit upset that comedian Lil Duval has transplanted into Atlanta and “stolen his swag.” Not only is he mad, but he has challenged Lil Duval to a battle to prove who’s the funniest between the two short men. Now…if you from the “A” you know that Shawty’s been around a looooong “A”zz time. Hell, his shawt “A”zz has been everywhere…he was even spotted chillin in Nelly’s infamous Tip Drill Video. ? Shawty’s quick to admit that he may not be the funniest comic in the world but says he definitely can hold his own against Lil Duval and will put his own money up to prove it:
“I got $30,0000….tell him to put up $30,000. Winner take all. (For what?) A comedy battle. We can do it. We could do a reality show. It could be skits, jokes and the real sh*t in the club… Hood like! Or we could just go straight up on the stage goddammit!”
Shawty says he’s got that CASH money waiting but feels that Lil Duval is NOT gonna go for it. From listening to his rant, there seems to be a lil funnyman beef going on.? Shawty is a really funny dude and so is Lil Duval. I’d pay good money to see these two battle it out and I rarely pay for anything. 😕
