Doll face Kelly Rowland hit up the ELLE Women In Music event last night to support the fabulous female musicians and to perform for the crowd as well:

Absolutely ADORE this look for Kelly.  Shiny leather pants and a blousy white tee embellished with pink & coral jewels.  Fresh and chic.

Rita Ora rocked a dipped hem dress with a big floppy hat for a vintage glam look on the red carpet.  And by the way, she, along with Alicia Keys and Adele, are gracing three separate covers of ELLE's May 2013 issue to celebrate Women In Music:

Her looks always seem so contrived.  But this one looks more like her and works for her personality.

The "R.I.P." singer also performed for the crowd in this off white sheath dress with a gold wide mesh overlay.

Model Jessica White hit the event in a black leather cropped bustier and a black & green printed maxi skirt for a sexy look that so her style.  We love when she polishes her laid back free spirited style.

Fab looks all around.

"R&B Divas" Season 2 Promo Shot!

We've got the new full sized promo shot for the cast of the second season of "R&B Divas."  Check out all the fab ladies inside....

 

Singers Angie Stone and LaTocha Scott join the Atlanta cast of the original "R&B Divas" in the upcoming second season.  And the co-stars rocked a fabulous promo shoot recently, including the full sized group shot above.  The shot was used in part for the new promo image for the show on TV One's site.

Returning cast members Syleena Johnson, KeKe Wyatt, Faith Evans, Monifah, and Nicci Gilbert stepped up their game this time around.  And all the ladies look great.

As we previously reported, we've confirmed with an inside source that rumors of Nicci Gilbert leaving the show are indeed true.  You'll see her throughout the entire season though, as the huge fight that led to her and her husband throwing deuces to the show happened on the last day of filming.

We've also learned that LaTocha Scott's baby's father and manager, Rocky Bivens, is going to be the scrappiest of all the husbands on the show.  He and LaTocha's sister Tamika are going to have a lot to say about former Xscape members Kandi& Tiny.  And it's not pretty.

Season 2 kicks off May 1st (my birthday!) on TV One at 10/9c.  Check out the trailer HERE in case you missed it.

We'll be watching...

FLICK THIS: Trick Daddy CONFRONTS Lil' Wayne Over "F*CK Miami" Tirade, Tosses Cigarette & IGNITES SCUFFLE!

A nasty scuffle reportedly went down between Lil' Wayne and Miami native Tricky Daddy over Weezy's "F*ck Miami" rant from earlier this year. Find out who got a cigarette butt tossed at them inside!

 

Note to out-of-town rappers, no matter how famous you think you are....you shouldn't insult the proud locals!   On Monday, Lil' Wayne was invited to host the re-opening of Miami's King Of Diamonds Strip Club (they've got new LED-lighting!) but that invitation stirred up some bad feelings amongst MIA residents like Trick Daddy.

You'll recall that Weezy let his feelings get the best of him during All-Star Weekend when he went on an infamous rant insulting the Miami Heat's starting lineup, which many took as a direct insult to the city itself.  Then he refused to apologize for it (but he did he take back his words about LeBron James).

 photo trick-daddy2-1.jpg

Fast forward to Monday evening when some of Dade County's finest (between 40-50 dudes to be exact) all walked into KOD's re-launch party with rapper Trick Daddy, all to have a few words with Lil' Wayne (who was there with Mack Maine).  We're sure the dudes just wanted a friendly apology from Weezy and intended to welcome him back to Miami with open arms....but ish quickly went left.  

Though King of Diamonds did tweet,"YMCMB in the Building!!!!! No worries", one of their followers said, "@KOD_miami trick daddy in the house ni*gas betta watch they mouth! #slipnslide #f*cklilwayne #f*ckkod #tootsiesallday."

According to MTV's Rap Fix, sources at the strip club that night say Trick and his crew went over to confront Weezy and that "talk" led to Trick flicking a cigarette butt at Weezy.  From that point on, it's only reported that Weezy was escorted out of the building after bruhaha broke out.  

Unfortunately, it's hard to fill-in what happened between the 50 dudes walking in and the cigarette butt being flicked because the streets don't "snitch". But something clearly happened.  

Neither Trick nor Weezy have commented about the alleged scuffle, but back in Feburary, Trick told Vlad TV about MIA ish talkers, 

"If anybody don't like it they can die tonight.  I don't care who be offended by what I say. I rep my city and want nobody disrespecting. We've got to stick together as radio, as artists, as DJs and fans who love the music as a whole. That's what makes a community. Me and Luke been talking, we've been getting together, we're going to find out some type of way to get this thing back on the road -- I can't go nowhere else, this is my home. So from now on, when they get here, they're going to have to start checking in."

Since we don't think Weezy ever got around to doing that "check in",  perhaps that explains why he was escorted out.

Kelly Rowland proves that it's not just makeup that makes her one of our fave YBF beauties.  She's a natural doll!  Check out pics of the "Kisses Down Low" singer getting caught out at Ricky's beauty supply inside...

Before she hit up the ELLE Women In Music event last night, Miss Kelly made her way to the nearest Ricky's beauty supply to pick up some products.  Who doesn't love a good Ricky's run?

And even though she didn't have her "face" on, the singer even snapped pics with her NYC fans who spotted her in the store.  She doesn't need all that makeup anyway:

She switched out of her sneakers and white tee and slipped into chic black leather pants and Saint Laurent heels for the ELLE event last night.  And right before, she grabbed drinks with her girls Jessica White, LaLa Anthony & Po Johnson:

REPORT: NeNe Leakes INKS $1 MILLION Contract For "RHOA" Season 6, Now BRAVO'S HIGHEST Paid HOUSEWIFE!

 photo NeNeLeakesCelebsBravoNewYorkUpfrontTkhjWp_T547x.jpg

It pays very well to be a Bravo Housewife...at least for NeNe Leakes. Reports are surfacing that the reality star has signed on for season six "RHOA" for a cool million bucks! Get the deets inside.....

 

During season four of "RHOA" when Nene Leakes first uttered "I'm very rich", many viewers gave her the side-eye.  Fast forward to season six, Nene is collecting tv checks from "Glee", "The New Normal" and just signed a contract with BRAVO for a reported $1 Million dollars (and that doesn't even include her bonuses!).  It turns out she is"very rich."

According to Radar Online, a source with intimate knowledge of the season 6 contracts said, "NeNe is the one viewers watch. She knows that, Bravo knows that and that’s why they gave her a raise."

So how did the other housewives respond to the news?  Radar's source tells them,“Everyone gets it, NeNe is the favorite, but they’re still jealous, of course. They wish they could earn what NeNe makes because they don’t think she would be nearly as popular without fighting with them."

Though NeNe seemed to be burning the candle at both ends for season 5 as she commuted between Atlanta and LA, she's really happy with the way things are working out.   The site's source says, “She likes being on the show. NeNe is really happy with the New Normal and Glee, where she can be a real actress, but she knows her bread and butter comes from Bravo and that’s why she’s coming back, ‘cause she can’t turn the money down!”

By the way, all of the "RHOA" cast members have reportedly officially signed on for another season. 

Congrats NeNe!

 

The Real Housewives of Atlanta airs Sundays on Bravo at 8/7c.

Kanye West wasted no time co-signing on his Big Bro Jay-Z's "Open Letter" that dropped this morning.  So he and his G.O.O.D. Music artist Pusha T just released their own version of an "I got ish to get off my chest" track.  And reportedly they just wrapped it.

 

Check out Pusha's "Numbers On The Board" inside....

 

 photo tumblr_ml3v53s5Vd1qzaqcbo1_cover_zps2069ed6d.jpg

Kanye returned to Twitter for the first time in a few months to give his support of Jay's "Open Letter" saying:

Our family Hov brought that real hip hop shit this morning so me and Pusha wanna keep that feeling going

So Ye's designer Virgilposted this "No Artwork" artwork to preface Pusha's own "Numbers On The Board" track that seems to have been produced by Mr. West himself.

Apparently the fellas were making a statement that they didn't need artwork to get their point across.  They only need the music.  And they've put up serious numbers of their own throughout their careers to prove it.

Check out "Numbers On The Board" below:

Both singer Bridget Kelly and "Kandi Factory" star Kandi Burruss were spotted rocking Karen Millen recently.  Decide who ran the look inside.....

 

Earlier this week, Grammy-winning Roc Nation singer Bridget Kelly celebrated her 27th birthday party at New York's 40/40 Club with celeb friends like Jay-Z, Rita Ora, Kelly Rowland, and Timbaland.   BK rocked Karen Millen's colorful Statement Zig Zag Pencil Dress with a silhouette waistband, mesh back detail and a Karen Millen branded metal zip.  Bridget paired her dress with sexy black sandals.

But earlier this month, fellow Grammy-winner & "RHOA" star Kandi Burruss, wore the same Karen Millen zig zag dress for her appearance on BRAVO's "Whatch What Happens Live".  Kandi brought out the colors of the dress even more with bright yellow pumps to complete her look

Outside of a few rings on their hands, both songstresses shied away from jewelry and let the dramatic colors pattens of the dress do all the work. So....

 

WHO ROCKED IT BEST?

 

DUMPED! Reebok DROPS Rick Ross From Its ROSTER!

0

 photo Rick_Ross_Reebok_Miami_1.jpg

After weeks of mounting criticism and protests, Reebok has dumped rapper Rick Ross from its roster following controversial lyrics the rapper touted about rape. Read their statement inside...

Shoe-giant Reebok has taken note of the negative publicity it's received since Rick Ross released his controversial "U.O.E.N.O." song, and dropped the rapper's endorsement deal.  

In a statement to TMZ, Reebok said,

"Reebok holds our partners to a high standard, and we expect them to live up to the values of our brand. Unfortunately, Rick Ross has failed to do so.

While we do not believe that Rick Ross condones sexual assault, we are very disappointed he has yet to display an understanding of the seriousness of this issue or an appropriate level of remorse."

It will be interesting to watch how Rick responds to being dropped from the brand since he's already offered two half-assed apologies showing he has no clear concept of women's rights, civil rights or just what it means to not be an a**hole.  So we couldn't agree more with Reebok's statement.

We suspect he'll act like a typical cocky rapper and throw jabs at Reebok on his next mixtape and claim that the women's groups, rape survivors and other critics are simply "haters." 

But all jokes aside, we hope Rick Ross uses this as a wake up call and educates himself about the rape culture, and uses his huge platform to simply do better.


OUT & ABOUT: Coolio's Still About That Spiked & Braided Life

Been wondering what Coolio's been up to?  No?  Well we're telling you anyway.  Check out new pics of the "Gangsta's Paradise" rapper out in Cali yesterday....

 

Just when we thought a head full of spiked out braids were just a 90's fad.....Coolio's gone from a full head of the signature spiked braids to a full on Alfalfa struggle.

 photo cooliob2_zps4c86c99d.jpg photo cooliob3_zps92df34d9.jpg

Coolio, who was spotted grabbing a cig and filming something on Cannon Drive yesterday, turns 50 this year.  He even appeared on "Celebrity Wife Swap" last month, so it seems like he's still interested in remaining relevant in some way.

We get that this is the style that has become synonymous with Coolio himself.  But....maybe its about time to let it go dude.

GIRL FIGHT: "LAHH" Star Erica Dixon SCRAPS With Shay Johnson, LEAVES Her BLOODIED....ALLEGEDLY

 photo ScreenShot2013-04-11at51702PM.png

The second season "LAHH ATL" has yet to hit the airwaves and we already know that one fight we'll be seeing is Lil' Scrappy's baby mama Erica Dixon fighting his "best friend" Shay Johnson. Get the deets on the bloody quarrel inside....

 photo ScreenShot2013-04-11at52348PM.png

Last night, "LAHH" star Erica Dixon allegedly left Shay Johnson bloodied and scratched up after an apparent fight outside of a nail salon. You'll recall these two have a history of bad feelings from last season's LAHH ATL season finale.  We're sure tv cameras were there for this too (because that's the point of fighting right?), but details are a little sketchy as Mona Scott-Young had everyone sign an air-tight confidentiality agreement.

But here's what we've heard...the ladies we're all at Karlie Redd's hair launch party called "Redd Champagne And Weave."  (Triple sigh at this name.)

And word on the street, according to Funky Dineva, is the parking lot was left red with blood.

Reportedly, Erica and Shay are beefing. Still.  We assume from the "LAHH ATL" trailer that the beef has everything to do with Lil' Scrappy. Erica was already at the party when Shay apparently looking to start some ish.  Some kind of way, Erica ended up in the parking lot with Shay (sounds like that scene when Scrappy rolled up on Stevie J in that parking lot during season 1) and the two began fighting.  After the fight, Shay was supposedly seen bleeding and ushered into a bathroom inside the salon where one of the hairstylists spent an hour getting her hair and makeup  together.  Well, at least she was in the right place for that. 

Conflicting reports have both chicks "winning" the fight....as if anyone wins when two chicks square off on television.

Time & the VH1 cameras will tell....

A$AP Rocky & Chanel Iman BOO'D UP Backstage At Diamonds Tour....With Kathy Griffin

A$AP Rocky lived out every man's dream of a backstage threesome the other night.  Kinda.  We've got exclusive pics of A$AP and his rumored girlfriend Chanel Iman getting cozy in Anaheim during the Diamonds tour...

A$AP Rocky was rumored to have scooped up gorgeous model Chanel Iman as his new boo thang after they were pictured getting pretty cozy during NYC fashion week earlier this year.

And now that Chanel is jetting from city to city with the rapper during the Diamonds tour, it's safe to say they're more than just friends.

Before A$AP took the stage to open up for Rihanna in Anaheim this week, the twosome snapped some pics with comedienne Kathy Griffin who stopped by to say wassup.

 photo asap2_zps7bb1a759.jpg

Can't say A$AP and Chanel aren't an odd couple, but they do share a love for fashion.  We guess that love could spill over into a love for each other. 

So, are we feelin' these two as a couple?

 

Kim Porter RESPONDS To Fired Nanny's Lawsuit, Says She's A Liar & CONVICTED SHOPLIFTER!

Kim Porter is fighting back after her ex-nanny filed a lawsuit against her saying she did drugs around her own kids.  Check out what Kim exposed about that nanny inside...

People in glass houses....

The nanny, Dawn Drago, that sued Kim Porter for firing her after she claims to have caught her with "white powder"....allegedly cocaine....and weed around the kids, isn't such a goody two shoes herself.

Kim Porter responded to the lawsuit saying not only is Dawn a major liar, but she was convicted of shoplifting and never divulged that on her application for employment!

Diddy's babies' mama says what Dawn is REALLY pissed about, is that she got nixed for lying on her time sheets.  So her bitter self is simply suing for retaliation purposes.  Just like we all figured.

Dawn's lawyer tried to respond, but the ish didn't make sense:

A rep from the law firm representing Drago tells TMZ, the shoplifting conviction is irrelevant "because she was not working at a shop." That's the quote. We don't understand it either.

Bitter chicks who like to steal aint no good.  Do we believe it's sill possible Kim left her capsules of cocaine out & her kids got into them?  Yep.  But will anyone care since this chick revealed that tea in the wrong place at the wrong time?  Nope.

Good luck with finding another job though....

"RHOA" star Porsha Stewart stepped out last night (sans wedding ring) with Tatyana Ali, Laz Alonso and others for the MegaGrowth event, "Tress To Impress".  See pics of Bravo star Quad, Andrea Kelly and more inside.....

 

 photo megag9.jpg

Porsha Stewart (shown above with Tatyana Ali & Laz Alonso), who became the most talked about housewife on "RHOA" once her divorce went public, stepped out in Atlanta last night ringless and happy as she hit up the MegaGrowth's "Tress To Impress" event.  It all went down at The Mane Event at King Plow Arts Center.

The almost single gal tweeted, "I'm here at the relaunching of @MegaGrowth !These products are great for natural, permed, AND colored hair Thanks Mega Growth for having me!" 

 photo megag11.jpg

 photo megag10.jpg

Porsha tweeted that she picked up her black and white off the shoulder dress from Reve Boutique.  Maybe it's just us but something seems different about that face.  Yet and still, chick looks damn good to be going through an extra rough & very public divorce.  Loves the dress.

And about that wedding ring she finally removed, a source close to Porsha explained, “When he (Kordell) filed for divorce, she found out about it online. So she kept her wedding ring on out of shock at first, then in hopes they could still work it out. But she’s finally realized Kordell is not the man she thought he was."

We could have told you that boo..

Just about everybody took a stroll down the carpet with P.  "Married To Medicine" star Quad Webb-Lunceford and "LAHH ATL" co-star Ariane Davis were amongst the chicks who snapped some pics.

The ladies were joined by MegaGrowth's Strength of Nature Marketing Director Charlene Dance.

Tatyana hosted the event with sexy "Deception" actor Laz Alonso.   That man, that man..... And yes, we're letting him slide with this sheer American flag contraption.  We almost missed it getting so caught up in his sexiness...

And "Hollywood Exes" star Andrea Kelly also walked the event.  Wondering if she left her edges at home.  We love her and all her baby hairs though...

Halle Berry is making pregnancy look effortless...and very sexy.  Check out her hot spider lace dress for the Rio de Janeiro premiere of her movie The Call, plus Nicki Minaj getting catty with her ample ASSets....

The ladies are showing off their bumps in the sexiest of ways.  Halle's new baby bump is stopping her effortless sultriness.  CHick stepped out at the Rio premiere of her box office hit in this long black mermaid dress with spider style lace covering the sides, arms and back.  And it's one of our fave pregnancy looks of hers so far:

 photo hbp2_zps837545ed.jpg photo hbp4_zps1f3fe77b.jpg photo hbp3_zpsf013c218.jpg

Yasss.  This back is everything.  There's a few pregnant chicks out there who haven't been able to get their style right and are taking notes profusely.

 

Meanwhile, "Idol" judge and "High School" rapper Nicki Minaj is showing off her bumps of another kind.  Her well enhanced booty (whether it's enhanced by her clothes or by injections) is on full display in a new photoshoot she's given us a peek at:

 photo hbp9_zps1b0f9fe8.jpg

The cheetah, leopard & neon yellow printed two slit dress showed off her curves and put these brown caged boots on full display.  Feeling a bit 90's, but kinda hot nonetheless:

Nicki just released another video off her Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded--The ReUp album for"Up In Flames".  So chick is milking this re-up of a re-up album for all it's worth. 

She's also in the midst of shooting a new video, just released the ad for her Pink Pill for Beats by Dre, and is readying her new clothing line for Sears.  She may not be fully our cup-o-tea, but we love a hustle.

FASHION FACE OFF! LaLa Anthony VS. Cassie In 3.1 Phillip Lim

These gals love fashion....but you decide which chick did this 90's inspired 3.1 Phillip Lim tee the most justice.  It's a LaLa Anthony & Cassie Ventura fashion face-off inside....

 

VH1's "Full Court Life" star LaLa Anthony was spotted out in NYC yesterday walking down 5th Avenue after leaving her new apartment.  The reality star rocked a black 3.1 Phillip Lim Get It Girl cotton-appliquéd silk-chiffon top ($175), embellished with oversized letters and pretty floral prints.  She paired the look with white skinny jeans, black pumps, and her wine colored Birkin bag.

But, "Paradise" singer Cassie rocked the hot 3.1 Phillip Lim tee first earlier this week when she hit up BET's "106 & Park" to introduce her brand new video.  The model chick added a bit of tomboy flair with black sheen covered capris and turned up the color factor with Christian Louboutin Dufoura metallic-leather, PVC and suede sandals ($1095).

So.....about this 3.1 Phillip Lim tank....

RAPPER'S DELIGHT: DMX & Swizz Beatz ROCK THE STAGE At Alicia Keys' MSG Show + Wu-Tang Clan REUNITES For New 20th Anniversary Album & Euro Concerts

The Wu-Tang Clan have announced plans to reunite for two concerts and a new album celebrating their 20th anniversary.  Get the deets inside and see DMX reunite with Swizz Beatz during last night's Alicia Key's concert in NYC....

 

In celebration of their 20th anniversary, legendary hip hop group, Wu-Tang Clan, are reuniting for a series of one-off dates to mark the 20th anniversary of their classic debut album Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers).

Also, RZA, GZA, Raekwon, U-God, Ghostface Killah, Inspectah Deck, Method Man and Masta Killah have announced a new album A Better Tomorrow, set for release in July.

During a piece with the NY Times, RZA spoke about the reunion saying,

We need to, one time, completely, efficiently, properly, professionally represent our brand. One more time. But this time, showing up on time for press and for concerts and studio. Do it one time, perfect.'  There's enough of us still alive, and I think there's still enough fans out there. Hip-hop is stronger than ever, as far as worldwide recognition, and our name is synonymous with it.'

 

On July 25th, The Wu-Tang clan will play at O2 Apollo in Manchester and On July 26th, they'll hit London at the O2 Academy.
Tickets go on sale today. We'll keep you posted about any US dates.
 

In other reunions....

DMX reunited with his former Ruff Ryders producer Swizz Beatz during Alicia Keys' "Set The World On Fire Tour" stop at Madison Square Garden last night. The pair drove the crowd into a frenzy with a few bars of "Ruff Ryders Anthem" and "Party Up (Up in Here)."

Let me find out X is serious about a comeback.  He needs to be focused on something productive because we all know what kind of back to back to back arrests go down when he's not....

And as he prepares to write his autobiography, fans will get to look deep inside the mind of the controversial rapper this weekend as he opens up to Iyanla Vazant about his drug use, childhood and failed relationships with his ex-wife and children. And Iyanla, we're sure, will have to check his ass every once in a while.  Must see TV.  Watch a new sneak peak here:

Tune in Saturday, April 13, at 9/8c for the 90-minute season premiere of Iyanla: Fix My Life on OWN.

While promoting the premiere of Scary Movie 5, a surprisingly candid AND sober Katt Williams opened up about his public breakdowns, his fears and why he was so disgusted by Jamie Foxx, Django Unchained and his own "gay" jokes about the actor.  Watch the interview inside....

Posing withproducer David Zucker, former professional boxer Mike Tyson and co-stars Simon Rex and Ashley Tisdale, funnyman Katt Williams was seen arriving for the premiere of Dimension Films' Scary Movie 5 last night at ArcLight Cinemas Cinerama Dome in Hollywood, California.  Yes folks, we're seeing Katt for the first time in a while far away from a jail.

Before the film's premiere, Katt sat down with BET.com where he talked about how he feels about the media's interest in him, the things that he's "scared" of and his thoughts on Jaime Foxx and Django Unchained.

What's interesting to note is how sober Katt was during the interview.  He seemed very different from the sweaty, angry man we've seen in videos over the past few months. He also gave a little insight into his comedy and whether fans should believe everything he says while he's operating in "the spirit."  Here are the highlights:

On being spoofed on SNL:

The young gentleman did me on Saturday Night Live recently.  I thought that was funny.  Probably because I didn't expect it.  In general, I'm not big enough to be spoofed.  You have to be a big dinosaur entity to be spoofed.

On what "scares" him:

Every time I see the police. I'm in a state of fear.  Even innocent.  It's just ingrained in me.  The IRS is scary.  It's a lot of scary things in the world that's why we can relate to kids.  Throughout your life you find enough things to be scary of.  

On insinuating that Jamie Foxx was gay:

I attempt to tell the truth on stage. I don't make up stories for shock value. So while I can't atone for everything I say on stage for I am operating under the spirt, I'm not allowed to take anything back afterwards....I didn't mean for people to think that was the case....even if it is.  That's what comedy is about. It about you taking those words and making your statement.

 

Katt is REAL funny for that Jamie explanation.  He knows what he was doing...and why folks will continue to believe him.

Tracey Edmonds Talks Boyfriend Deion Sanders & CONFIRMS "Basketball Wives" Movie With Shaunie O'Neal

Producer Tracey Edmonds recently opened up about the moves she's making behind-the-scenes in Hollywood, including a "Basketball Wives" movie with Shaunie O'Neal and her new YouTube channel, Alright TV.  Also, she talks about working with boyfriend Deion Sanders.  Find out what she said inside....

 

Producer Tracey Edmonds ("Soul Food"), who was married to Babyface and was married to Eddie Murphy (for a few days), is now admitting she's dating Deion Sanders.  We called it a while back and she denied it, but despite being hated by Deion's ex-wife Pilar, she's now copping to their relationship.

So Tracey chatted with Essence.com recently about some of the struggles she faces as a woman and mother in a male-dominated field.  And how she's built own brand outside of the famous men she's been involved with.

During the chat, she spoke about her new YouTube channel and also revealed a "BBW" movie in the works with Shaunie O'Neal.  Lord help us.

Here are the highlights:

 

Congrats on the launch of Alright TV. What was your motivation in creating this channel?

TRACEY EDMONDS: A year and a half ago I started tweeting something inspirational every morning to keep people going. I got so many tweets back and had no idea how much it helped others. I realized people were really hungry to be uplifted and inspired. I had been working on a business plan for a cable network of inspirational programming and YouTube was the perfect partnership. We offer high entertainment value alongside a message, without beating people over the head.

 

We also see Deion Sanders, who you are dating, has a few shows on your network. How is it working with him and also being in a relationship?

EDMONDS: He’s been wonderful. He’s one of the most positive people I know. On the network, Deion hosts Sports Dad where he comes to the rescue of sports-obsessed dads who are pushing their kids too hard. He’s also doing an inspirational blog. I met Deion through business and had a chance to see the wonderful man he is.

 

With so many “wives of” shows now that feature women whose claim to fame is who they dated, you have built your own brand. Was that always a goal?

EDMONDS: I’ve always been an independent woman and wanted to be sure I was okay financially, regardless of what happened in my personal life. I’m an optimist and hope for the best in a relationship. But life throws you curves and you never know when the fairytale is going to end. For women, it’s important to be able to stand on your own. I had great memories and great years with Kenny [“Babyface” Edmonds]. I also had my own vision. When you build a brand, you have to know you are putting a spotlight on yourself and you have to carry yourself correctly.

 


You have thrived in a male-dominated field. What quality has been most beneficial to your success?

EDMONDS: Being thick-skinned and staying focused. There is a lot of rejection and I still get rejected all the time. I learned when someone tells you no, that gives you an opportunity to find another way. I got so many no’s for Soul Food. I went to every studio and was told no. They asked, ‘Where's your audience? Who’s going to go see it?’ There was nothing to compare it to and Soul Food was an anomaly. The last studio was Fox 2000. Producer Laura Ziskin realized this was a universal story about family and green lit the movie. That was my first producing experience and opened the door for so much more. If I had stopped with the first no’s I got, I might not be where I am now.

 

What’s next for you?

EDMONDS: There is a Jumping the Broom sequel in the works and I am also producing a Basketball Wives movie with Shaunie O’Neal. It’s not based on the show and is an uplifting story with a lot of twists.
