TLC streamed a live radio appearance last night on UStream that was seen by over 500, 000 online viewers.I even got the girls to give me a shout out (they were like, "Hi Jessica! Hey, girl! How yo momma doin'?" lol super silly). The interviewing DJ suggested the fans start a Betty White-type campaign to get the girls hosting SNL, and you can join the Feacbook group to make that happen ::here::. The video will be available to watch again (and keep forever!) on Youtube later this week.
Lisa Nicole Lopes (also known as “Left Eye”) was born on May 27, 1971 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She was highly thought of as a creative and spiritual rapper, singer, songwriter, friend, daughter, and sister. Her career began when she became a member of a female trio originally called Second Nature. The group eventually changed their name to TLC which represented the first initials of the three founding members, Tionne, Lisa, and Crystal. Crystal ended up not working out for the group, and singer Rozonda Thomas was brought in as the new third member. To maintain the theme of the band’s name, Thomas took on the nickname “Chilli”. Tionne ended up becoming T-boz, and Lisa renamed herself “Left Eye”, after she was once told she had beautiful eyes, " particularly the left eye."
TLC exploded onto the music scene in February 1992 with the album Ooooooohhh.... On the TLC Tip. The album sold a staggering 6 million copies worldwide and produced 3 hit singles (and 1 other). After a few years of touring and taking a small break, the group came back with their sophomore album, CrazySexyCool in December 1994, which produced 4 hit singles, including the iconic smash "Waterfalls". The project was met with critical acclaim and solidified TLC as the biggest female group of all time. The album sold over 15 million copies worldwide, was awarded with the 1996 Grammy for Best R&B album, and today is considered by Rolling Stone Magazine as one of the 500 greatest records of all time. TLC’s third album, FanMail was released in 1999 and was also a commercial success following the release of it's first single "No Scrubs"; the album sold in excess of 10 million copes worldwide and took home two Grammy’s: Best R&B Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group and Best R&B album. After the success of FanMail, Lisa started to explore her own creative endeavors and began expanding her solo career.
“Left Eye” was a featured rapper on several artists’ records during her solo career, including Melanie C of the Spice Girls, Donell Jones, *N Sync, and Toni Braxton. She spent much of her free time after the headlining tour of FanMail recording her debut solo album, Supernova. The album was only released overseas only, but was later remixed and combined with unreleased material to create the posthumous album Eye Legacy. Lisa's solo project fueled rumors that TLC were braking up, and Lisa further complicated the situation when she called out T-Boz and Chilli in Entertainment Weekly with The Challenge: she wanted each member to make a solo album and the girl with the highest sales wins. T-Boz and Chilli have yet to release solo albums. But at the end of the day, TLC never broke up, and always remained sisters and friends. Lisa was quoted on their FanMail tour as saying it: "TLC is forever."
While working on songs for the fourth TLC album, 3D, Lisa began a spiritual retreat in Honduras, which was Lisa’s “home away from home” where she went to get away from the chaos of the media and press. Lisa wanted to film a documentary during this retreat so her fans could catch a glimpse of her real life. She did not get to finish filming. She was only 30 years old at the time of her death. Her funeral was held at the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Lithonia, Georgia where over 30,000 fans came from around the world to say goodbye to the Hip-Hop and R&B icon, and every fan was allowed to pay their respects. Engraved upon her white casket was her verse from “Waterfalls”...

[SEE FULL STORY FOR AUDIO] Nicki leaked her verse in an early version of this song a while back. Now you can hear the full song, with Lady Saw on the hook...
Details Magazine caught up with Miss Minaj and asked some burning questions about her sexuality, her career, and her fans...
What can women get away with in hip-hop that men can't?
I have a lot of freedom to be crazy. I can rap in a London accent, make weird faces, wear spandex, wigs, and black lipstick. I can be more creative than the average male rapper. And I can show my boobs. Guys can't do that.
You sign your fans' breasts at shows. Do their boyfriends get jealous?
If anything, boys are telling me to sign their girls' boobs. I've gone through 15 markers in a single night—because the girls are usually sweating, and a marker will stop writing if the girls are wet.
As an openly bisexual rapper, do you think hip-hop is getting more gay-friendly?
I think the world is getting more gay-friendly, so hip-hop is too. But it's harder to imagine an openly gay male rapper being embraced. People view gay men as having no street credibility. But I think we'll see one in my lifetime.
Having studied theater in high school, what would you say is the difference between rapping and acting?
With me, there really isn't one. I look at rap as an opportunity to act. My head is full of different characters—in each song I'm auditioning a character.
Q: On Twitter you follow a bunch of Nicki Minaj fan groups. Ever get tired of reading so many tweets about yourself?
A: Hell no! It says a lot that someone took the time to dedicate a page to me. And it's useful. Anything I do, they post a link to it right away. I don't need to Google myself.
Have you seen the YouTube video where Michelle Trachtenberg raps one of your verses?
She's the cutest thing. I just wanted to reach into the computer and kiss her. I might have to get her on a track.
Your father set fire to your home when you were a kid in Queens, New York. What happened?
He drank a lot and did drugs, and he would get violent when he did. When he set fire to the house, he was attempting to kill my mother. She got out before it burned all the way down. I've always had this female-empowerment thing in the back of my mind—because I wanted my mother to be stronger, and she couldn't be. I thought, "If I'm successful, I can change her life."
As younger and younger fans come to your shows, do you feel pressure to tone down the racier elements of your persona?
I do. I'm a role model now. I didn't know I was gonna have 13-year-old fans, so I've tried to change a few things here and there. But I also know that the girls don't want me to be Miley Cyrus, either.
Q: Are you going to send your mentor Lil Wayne a gift while he's in prison?
We were at a Jay-Z concert right before he went away, and he said, Yo, Nick, how come you never bring any bad bitches around with you? I said, My fault. I've got you next time! So I'll send him a poster of a bad bitch to put up in his cell.
Is it true that you're a big Enya fan?
Who doesn't love Enya? Whenever I'm in a trying time, she is the calm in the middle of the storm. If I put her on, I'll be in this crazy peaceful state. I love her style. And her harmonies are freaking genius.
You've rapped on songs for Usher, Mariah Carey, and Robin Thicke. How much do you charge for a cameo?
I get a handsome amount. I could definitely buy a car off one of my guest appearances. And I'm not talking about a Hyundai.

Last week, just two days after dropping out of Rihanna's "Last Girl On Earth Tour," Nicki Minaj's former manager, Debbie Antney -- who also managed Gucci Mane and is mother to up-and-coming rapper Waka Flocka Flame -- sent a statement confirming Minaj had fired her.
"I received a letter, which was [a] suspension. The next letter that came in was a cease and desist in doing all business with Nicki Minaj from Nicki's attorney," she explained. "I love Nicki. I wish her the most success. It's not about the music, she's like one of my children... I wish her no harm, only much success."
While hip-hop bloggers have speculated the firing was due to mismanagement on Antney's part which consequently caused Minaj to drop out of the tour, Antney revealed to Billboard.com almost a month ago -- before the tour was announced -- that she no longer was working with Minaj "I'm not gonna sit here and drop a bunch of bombs on her now, even though she really, really disappointed me. Now Nicki did fire me. She did," Antney said.
According to our source, Minaj subsequently went on to seek management from Troy Carter, Lady Gaga's manager. Although some websites claim to have confirmed that Carter is co-managing Minaj with Diddy, our source says it isn't the case and that Gaga pumped the breaks on the deal, threatening to find another manager if Carter took on Minaj as well. When that happened, Carter stepped back and Diddy stepped in, asking one of his own managers, James Cruz, to co-manage Minaj with him instead.
While Diddy's new connection with Nicki Minaj seems to have come out of left field, it comes as no surprise that he is also working closely with Rick Ross. The two have been appearing together often lately, including on the remix to Waka Flocka's "O Lets Do It" track. Diddy has also praised Ross' rapping skills in public as of late, comparing him to the late Notorious B.I.G. "Big shout out to my brother Diddy. We have a big announcement to make real soon, so stay tuned for that," Ross said on the airwaves during an interview with Power 105.1 DJ Envy earlier this week, alluding to an official announcement of the business move coming soon.
The partnership between the two is poised to go a step further as well; Ross is also rumored to be extensively contributing to the writing of Diddy's upcoming album.
There’s something about Chilli. Something that convinced us she was one of our girlfriends during her crazy, sexy, cool years with TLC. Something that had us all up in her relationship (and her breakup) with Mr. Raymond. She’s a girl’s girl. And she’s kept her cool, despite our imaginary probing into it all.
So maybe that’s why we’re so excited for her new reality television show, What Chilli Wants. Premiering this Sunday on VH1, we get to follow the Atlanta native find herself the made man — whether or not that exists we’ll see — as she works with relationship expert Tionna Smalls.
VH1 hasn’t had much luck finding love for their reality show stars, but this isn’t I Love New York revisited nor is Chilli giving us Rock of Love antics or Flavor of Love ignorance. “I made sure that the show was very classy. It’s totally different from some of the other dating shows. I’m not in a house with guys, and they don’t know each other,” Chilli assured us the other night at her Atlanta premiere party.
Chilli admits her dating life has been on hold for a bit. Between her singing career and motherhood, she let us know, “I don’t get out much, so this was a great opportunity.”
Insert Tionna Smalls, one of the craziest, most hilarious, unapologetic frank chicks you will ever have the pleasure of being snapped back into reality by. Smalls is in charge of clawing through the pickings for Chilli’s blind dates (nope, Chilli doesn’t pick any of her potential suitors), all while following her strict checklist: six packs are all good, but bacon biters can go that way.
Last year, when taping began, Chilli threw an event for her former classmate and the city’s current mayor, Kasim Reed. The crowd? Pretty young. We’re not mad at her. Especially because she isn’t a self-proclaimed cougar.
“I don’t [purposely date younger men]. It’s just that younger men are attracted to me. They came to the casting call.”
Whether or not they’re ready to be the man Chilli wants remains to be seen. But we did get her to dish about one of the guys on the show. He hails from Wisconsin and evokes giggles from Chilli, who can’t help but show teeth when asked about him.
“He’s very sweet and very comfortable with himself. I think every female wants a man that’s very complimentary. This guy made me feel like a woman. We all want that. We all need that. We all deserve that.”
The petite singer is open to all shades and believes that women , especially Black women, should never culturally limit themselves on the love front. “Men have the pick of the litter, so why shouldn’t we?” You can expect to see an assortment of colorful men on the show.
After having gone through the reality dating show machine, has Chilli found love? Of course she wouldn’t reveal that, but she did say that the experience solidified one thing. “I’m not getting rid of my list! ” referring to her requirements that a potential mate must meet.
However, she didn’t just put it all on the fellas, as she did drop this little gem for other women looking for love. “First of all, you have to start with yourself. Think about what it is that you can bring to the table. I’m not asking anyone to bring ‘all of this’ to the table and I have nothing to bring. I know what I can bring, so I don’t want to settle for less than anything less than I deserve. TLC has always been about encouraging women to love themselves and believe in themselves. This just kind of goes along with what I’ve always done in my career.”

Summary of the Book
ONE DREAM, DIFFERENT ENDINGS
“When I Knew Al” is a biography of actor Al Pacino through the eyes of his friend and first mentor, fellow actor Ed De Leo. Both grew up in the Bronx and both had the hunger to act -- an inborn feeling that they couldn’t suppress. They both studied acting together and remained friends over the years. One became a superstar, the other kept faltering at every turn, unable to get a break. What did Al Pacino do to succeed? What caused Ed De Leo to fall short?
In this unique and fascinating story, we experience Pacino’s stormy affairs and relationships with Diane Keaton, Jill Clayburgh, Tuesday Weld, Kathleen Quinlan and Beverly D’Angelo… his mental demons… his alcoholism… his fears… and his desires. We follow his rivalry with Dustin Hoffman, his friendship with Robert De Niro, the loss of four close friends from drugs, his problems at the Actors Studio, his bashing by the critics, his refusal to compromise his art. We visit all of his stage and screen performances. At the same time we experience De Leo’s struggles, his faltering at every turn, his often humorous career moves and adventures that kept him from making it.
Chock full of incidents with famous directors, producers and critics, it is a must-read for people of all ages, film fans, theatre-goers, actors, teachers and performing artists. Aside from being a journey through the worlds of off-Broadway, Broadway and Hollywood, the book contains chapters that are hilariously funny.


Born and raised in the island of Haiti. Officially came to the US @ the age of 16 and started killing "ish"!!!
With his passion for music, experienced-filled and intricate flow, critics find it hard to believe that Marc really grew up in the island of Haiti. Also known as Puma Swaid, he spent some of his youngest years travelling back and forth to Brooklyn, NY, and later on, he moved to dirty Jersey where he made a home. The rapper worked on numerous collaborations with Jersey rappers and is now starting to create a buzz for himself after dropping his last 2 freestyle singles, "Light out" and "Popular Demand". The rapper also released a few online videos at www.youtube.com: puma swaid. Puma, also known as Murda Capital and many other "A.K's" is now working on his first album, Toughts of my thoughts", and hoping to soon land a major record deal. Very unique with his "swag" and his rap idiom, that combination will keep him among the top artists in the Rap business.
Keep an ear out for the sultry voice of the man who calls himself the Prince of Haiti!!

Italian haute couture is in high demand as ever, with Dolce and Gabbana presenting big plans for 2024 and beyond. After some controversies in 2018 that resulted in a fallout with their Chinese market, the brand has worked to regain equilibrium in China and worldwide, with evident success.
For one, they have taken the Dolce & Gabbana beauty arm in-house, aiming to increase its value from €1 billion ($1.26 billion) to €3 billion ($3.7 billion) by 2026. Founders Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana have also tapped a strategic inner circle of celebrities to lead their latest campaigns. Here are a few of their newest collaborations:
The fashion duo has longstanding relations with the Kardashian-Jenner clan. They personally opened their home on the Italian Riviera coastline in Portofino to host Kourtney Kardashian’s wedding to Travis Barker in May 2022, and they gave Kim Kardashian the reins to curate her very own Spring 2023 campaign, “Ciao, Kim,” with the brand’s archival pieces. The sisters’ love for the designer brand even sparked a significant conflict plotline on Season 4 of Hulu’s The Kardashians. Shortly after Kim’s campaign and succeeding runway show, the DG Logo Bag was announced, and the youngest Kardashian-Jenner was announced as its face, sporting red and white Dolce & Gabbana logo bags in a sultry campaign.
The fashion house is known for espousing the brand’s Italian heritage and highlighting local talent, so their collaboration with Italian actor, model, and singer Michele Morrone was natural. Having shot to fame after his leading turn as Don Massimo Torricelli in the hit Netflix franchise 365 Days, Morrone was tapped in March 2023 alongside Kylie Jenner as ambassadors of the spring/summer Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses collection. Morrone headlines a collection that boasts sportiness and elegance, bringing out the lightness of the male silhouette. He wears the versatile DG4452 model with solid dark grey lenses in a masculine pilot frame. Given that this wasn’t Morrone’s first campaign with the brand, we can expect to see the rising star in more upcoming D&G releases.
The world’s fashion houses, having seen the impact of the Korean wave in film, TV, and music, have enlisted Korean ambassadors to expand their reach in Asia. Dolce & Gabbana is no exception. Moon Ga-Young is known by many for her leading role in the True Beauty Korean drama series. In November 2023, she was appointed as Dolce & Gabbana’s latest global ambassador. Before the announcement, Moon had appeared in many D&G events, including Milan Fashion Week in September 2023. While in Milan, she spoke of her love for the brand’s beauty offerings, like the Devotion Liquid Lipstick and Extreme Volume Mascara, which she says “truly makes a lot of difference on the eyes.”
Another lover of the D&G Devotion series is West Coast pop star Katy Perry, who was tapped in October 2023 as the face of the Devotion fragrance. With a top note of candied lemon, middle notes of pannacotta and rum, and base notes of vanilla, the sweet fragrance perfectly aligns with Katy’s bubbly personality and Teenage Dream aesthetic. In the commercial launching the fashion house’s debut fragrance, Katy stars alongside Michele Morrone, who plays her love interest. Katy again promoted the rosé colored scent for Valentine’s Day this year. However, this isn’t the only rosé in the Dolce & Gabbana arsenal; the brand collaborated with Sicily-based winery Donnafugata last September 2023, creating beautifully designed bottles for the Donnafugata Rosa, as well as selections of their red and white wines.
As Dolce & Gabbana continues to champion genuine Italian artistry and craftsmanship, fashion lovers are set to witness more of the brand’s partnerships with the world’s biggest names in the future.

Grace Kelly’s style is so timeless that even her dresses have their own wiki page! The inspiration behind many films, including the upcoming biopic starring Nicole Kidman, this fifties fashion icon remains relevant in an industry that is notoriously fast-paced. So what is it about the late Princess of Monaco that makes us want to flip nostalgically through our vintage vogue collection (the one we plan on starting)?
In a moving tribute to the beautiful blonde starlet, Vanity Fair’s Contributor Editor wrote that Grace Kelly possessed the “intertwined qualities of an icon: white-gloved ingénue, elegant goddess, passionate- and frankly sexual- romantic.” Undeniably, it was those blue eyes and red lips contained in skin like poured cream that became the propeller of one of Hollywood’s brightest stars.
It was Don Richardson, one of Grace Kelly’s lovers and the author of her biography Grace, who made the famous quote about Kelly’s relationship with the camera. As Richardson accurately put it, “the camera did more than love her. It was insane about her.” And it seems that the camera has never forgotten its fixation with Grace Kelly, continuing to film memoirs of the actress’ life.
The most recent biopic to cause controversy features Nicole Kidman, 45, who will portray Grace Kelly, then 33, during the time that she was said to be instrumental in solving the political impasse on Monaco’s standing as a tax haven. The film has been blasted by the children of the late princess, who have said that the portrayal “does not constitute a biographical work” and that it was “pointlessly glamorised.”
With Grace Kelly making a comeback to the silverscreen, it is the perfect time to introduce her style into your wardrobe. And let’s face it, to try and mimic the look of this woman is a no-brainer. Who doesn’t want to look like the star who managed to win the eternal affection of the fashion industry?
Grace Kelly Wardrobe Musts:
- Elegant lace: Lace dresses were a wardrobe staple of Grace Kelly’s, and she often wore it out on the red carpet. Considered her “high society look,” the use of this delicate material in some of her most iconic outfits showcases the exquisite detailing that went into Kelly’s clothes – and her appreciation of designs for their quality, not their cost.
- Ladylike pearls: Accessorise with classic pearls like Grace Kelly. One of her signature looks, Kelly was often photographed in large cultured pearl necklaces (choker style) and multi-strand pearl bracelets.
- Fad Hats: We often forget that Grace Kelly had a flamboyant edge to her style. Not the conservative dresser that many have made her out to be, the blonde starlet often caused a stir with her choice of millinery – with some Monegasque elites even whispering that Kelly’s hats were too ostentatious for the palace.
A style icon, Hollywood princess and beloved of all who laid eyes on her, Grace Kelly remains a hot topic of debate and inspiration amongst today’s influencers and their followers. Celebrate her “forever look” in your own wardrobe to channel the elegance of a woman who never left her style behind.

To appropriate the appropriator is one way to see what they omit. Deborah Kass’s ‘Warhol Project’ series (1992–2000) rephrases the pop artist’s best-known works, from Triple Elvis (1963) to Gold Marilyn Monroe (1962), with different models. In several works, Kass (b. 1952) swapped Jackie Kennedy, an emblem of housewifely Wasp perfection, for camp icon Barbra Streisand, her famous nose in profile; author Gertrude Stein is a reoccurring figure as well. In others, she appears herself. Kass’s series rephrases Warhol’s portrayals of stereotypical American celebrity to celebrate the contributions of queer and Jewish artists to the country's cultural heritage. Kass also reprised Warhol’s ‘Most Wanted’ silkscreens, his comment on the thin line between notoriety and celebrity, but with a series of contemporary artists, curators, and critics (on view in Chicago gallery Kavi Gupta’s Viewing Room) – wanted not for their crimes but their networks.

Maureen Connolly was the great woman that the “Little Mo” Intermountain Sectionals tournament is named after. When Connolly was sixteen, she began lessons and was coached by Eleanor Tennant. (Tennant was the first United States female tennis player to become professional). She received the name “Little Mo” from a San Diego sports journalist, when she was eleven years old. Connolly was an amazing tennis star in San Diego during the 1950’s. She started out her tennis career when she was very young. When she was sixteen, she won the 1951 U.S. Championship game. During this time, she became the youngest woman ever to win the championship. The associated press even named her female athlete of the year for the next three following years. Connelly was an amazing singles player. She never lost a singles championship game and had a perfect nine for nine score.
Sadly, Connolly’s professional tennis career didn’t last long at all. Her career only persisted from 1951 when she won the United States Women’s National Singles Championship, all the way to 1954 when Connolly won her two doubles championships. She won one mixed doubles championship and one women’s doubles championship. Both championships were held in France. Shortly after winning these championships, Connelly was involved in a car accident while outside riding her horse. She was hurt very badly, breaking her leg and injuring her muscles and tendons. After the incident Connolly knew her tennis career was over. After her career had ended, Connelly wrote her autobiography “ForeHand Drive”. It was then published in 1957.

Now Connolly’s name is instated in Chicago within the Irish American Hall of Fame.

is a soulful singer and unflinching songwriter who
writes from the gut and demands your attention.
Raised in North Minneapolis and currently living in
Rochester, MN, Annie Mack grew up in the 80s,
influenced by the rich Twin Cities music scene. "I
think it was just by environment,” she says. “Music
was such a big part of my youth--just the soundtrack
really. I think about The Gap Band, of course, Prince,
all the funk and the soul.”
Inspired by her mother’s love of music, she started
singing, performing at local joints. “ After my mother
passed away, the thing that really stood out to me was
to do something that you like before you leave this
life." Although never intending it to be a career, it quickly became one.
Working her way through the Midwest bar scene, Mack built a reputation as a powerhouse blues singer
getting national recognition at some of North America’s top festivals, including The John Coltraine
Jazz Festival, Thunder Bay Music Festival, Twin Cities Jazz Festival and the Bayfront Blues
Festival for 6 years running. In addition to playing some of the top blues and jazz clubs like Buddy
Guy’s Legends (Chicago) and The Dakota (Minneapolis), Mack has recently garnered the attention of
indie rock tastemakers like The Current , landing her gigs at prestigious performing arts centers and
rock venues like First Avenue --the iconic club where Prince filmed Purple Rain. She has shared the
bill with such wide-ranging artists as Dessa (hip hop), Ondara (folk), Cloud Cult (indie rock) and
blues legend Robert Cray. She is featured in the book 50 Women in the Blues , alongside Bessie
Smith, Bonnie Raitt, Mavis Staples, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Ruthie Foster and Janis Joplin.
In 2013, Mack released her debut album Baptized in the Blues , which put her on the blues map and
established her as a powerhouse performer and singer. After keeping up a rigorous touring schedule,
she took time off to record her 2017 EP Tell It Like It Is --a more personal collection of songs about
recovery and healing that showcased her serious songwriting chops. Now, with the release of her new
recording Testify (2021) she solidifies her position as a top-tier singer, songwriter and producer who
has found her musical home, performing her own unique blend of blues, country, rock and soul. The
release finds her confident and comfortable, owning her place as a rising star in the roots music scene.
When not busy making music or rearing her three children, Annie Mack works as a death doula,
accompanying people who are dying and supporting their families.

Atlanta songwriter and lyricist JMIDD is set to bring more positivity and universal sound to the masses, and does just that with his own brand of captivating pop-induced Hip Hop. With his new Kado Records single “Up Up and Away” reaching fans as the official theme song of NBA star Dwight Howard, JMIDD is well on his way to making musical magic.
Co-owned by veteran R&B songwriter and actor TQ and entrepreneur Laura Zatezalo, Kado Records is determined to help JMIDD reach his goals on his upcoming debut album. In the meantime, JMIDD is performing throughout the Southeast as he promotes “Up Up and Away.”
Jon “JMIDD” Middleton comes from a long line of talented people in his family. His father was part of the contemporary Christian group Newsong, and JMIDD traveled with them as they packed out arenas all over the U.S. for over 14 years. Although JMIDD’s father parted from the group to pursue a solo career, the entire group was recently inducted into the Contemporary Christian Music Hall of Fame. Newsong embedded the inspiration that thrives behind JMIDD’s music.
Even though he grew up performing with his guitar in churches and following in his father’s footsteps, it was the passion to rap and sing in high school that propelled his career on a more serious level. JMIDD worked for years before making his first public performance, where he packed out a local bar and won over his first fans. Since then, JMIDD has rocked for thousands of people in everything from from small bars to prominent nightclubs all over the Southeast region.
In 2010, JMIDD teamed with Kado Records , bringing together years of creative and professional experience with the young rapper’s vision for the future. With TQ’s guidance in the music and performance side of things, JMIDD sees the potential to reach his goals.
“I feel that my situation with TQ and Kado is great,” explains JMIDD. “The money and publicity is obviously crucial to have, however I didn’t want to work with anyone that didn’t care about my best interest. TQ has stepped in and kind of become the big brother I always wanted. I feel he has looked out for me and taught me a lot, even in our short time working together. We have the team to do what a major label can do. “
In 2011, JMIDD released his first single “Up Up and Away,” which has now become the official NBA-approved anthem for Orlando Magic star Dwight Howard. The song came together perfectly, as Kado had the opportunity for JMIDD to perform on the track, which was originally meant for Howard’s charitable organization.
“The whole Dwight Howard situation was just a blessing out of nowhere,” expresses JMIDD. “The Kado Records team set it all up – they asked me to sing them the hook in the studio. The next thing I knew, Dwight said he loved the song, and I was on my way to New Orleans to shoot the video with TQ. Dwight and I share a lot of the same morals and values, both having the desire to display positive attitudes and sharing uplifting messages to youth. I feel this is the perfect match up, and a good stepping stone for the next stage of my career.”
As one would guess, JMIDD’s main goal in life is to perform and write songs. He is fueled by the desire to offer fans a fresh alternative to mainstream music.
“I am very passionate about setting a good example through my music and actions,” JMIDD asserts. “ I have lost many friends, and have a lot of friends who are locked up for many years. Some imagery in today’s music encourages our youth to drink, smoke, have sex, be a prideful individual and only focus on yourself. I have something to offer that not a lot of people can. I’m willing to go above and beyond and set new trends.”
As he works toward his new album with Kado Records, JMIDD plans to take his talent to the next level in an effort to prove that the time is right to make a difference.
“I will prove you can party and have a good time, still be a trendsetter without following the things that seem to be popular at the moment. My music is all fun and uplifting, and my goal is to get this music out and be an artist that everyone can depend on to be consistent.”

Thomas Lee Bridegroom|
April 22, 1982
May 7, 2011 (aged ).|
Los Angeles, California, U.S.
|Occupation||Actor & Host|
Thomas Bridegroom ( April 22, 1982 - May 7, 2011) was an American film and commercial actor, television host and photographer, who hosted MTV's The X Effect in 2006-2007. On May 7, 2011, he died while photographing a model, after falling off the balcony of a building in Silver Lake, Los Angeles.
He attended Vassar College.
Thomas Bridgeroom's story became widely known to the public in May 2012, a year after his death, when his partner, fellow actor Shane Bitney Crone, released a widely viewed YouTube clip titled "It Could Happen to You," in which he told his and his lover's story in order to speak out in favor of rights for same-sex couples.
Bridegroom, a native of Knox, Indiana, had been in a relationship with Crone for six years before his death. While Crone's family was loving and accepting of his sexual orientation, Bridegroom's disclosure of his homosexuality to his parents went badly and resulted in threats of physical violence against him.
Tom passed away on May 7, 2011, following a fall from a rooftop during a photo session. His mother flew out to his and Shane's home in Los Angeles to retrieve Tom's body, even though Tom had not thought of Indiana as his home. Shane cooperated when Bridegroom's mother asked him about her son's bank accounts and to go through his possessions, but while on his way to Indiana to attend his partner's funeral, he received a phone call from Bridegroom's family telling him he was not welcome at the funeral and threatening him with physical violence if he showed up. Shane was not mentioned in Tom's obituary or in the memorial program at all. In addition to the cold, unwelcoming reception from Bridgeroom's biological family, Shane had not been allowed visiting rights in the hospital and was not legally recognized as Tom's lover or family.
In his video, Shane wrote, "Whatever your sexual orientation, I plead with you to take the necessary steps to protect yourself and the ones you love."

Celebrities and A-listers are known to get the latest bags sometimes before they even debut on the runway. This was the case with Mary Kate Olsen and the much sought afterdamier azur. It seems that Mark Kate Olsen was given this bag before it even showed on the damier azur Wang Fall 2009 runway show, thereby making it not-available and highly sought after. Great idea Wang! The bag is called the damier azur and the estimated retail price will be around $900 when it is released in July. For $900, I am saying that I have to have this bag!

Ekat Kapoor’s Balaji Motion Pictures now joins hands with Phantom Films, comprising of Madhu Mantena, Anurag Kashyap, Vikramaditya Motwane and Vikas Bahl. Post ‘Dedh Ishqiya’, Abhishek Chaubey’s next ‘Udta Punjab’ has an interesting casting coup of sorts, which makes it one of the most anticipated movies.

The film marks the debut of Punjabi star Diljit Dosanj, who plays Kareena’s love interest. The film revolves around the problem of increasing drug abuse in Punjab and addresses this serious issue. Shahid Kapoor’s look in ‘Udta Punjab’ has been in the news for various reasons. The actor, for the first time, will be donning as many as 8 to 9 body tattoos in the film. Besides, Shahid has been seen in different avatars for the film requirements, giving rise to speculations that he has multiple looks in the film. Alia Bhatt’s role in Udta Punjab is said to be the toughest and most intense character she has played till date. Alia will be seen playing the role of a Bihari migrant in Punjab. She is also said to be a Hockey player in this one.

Mo’ money, mo’ problems! Just ask Charlie Sheen, Khloe Kardashian, Mary J. Blige, Lindsay Lohan, Tori Spelling and more of the stars who’ve faced major problems with state and federal tax authorities over the years. Wonderwall.com is taking a look at some of Hollywood’s tax-troubled stars, starting with this rocker… In March 2018, The Blast revealed that rocker-actress Courtney Love had been hit with a federal tax lien for $568,674.62 for the 2016 tax year. In December 2017, The Blast reported that she’d settled a separate tax bill from 2012 for nearly $320,000. Two years before that, she paid off yet another $266,000 in back taxes owed from 2009 and 2011. Courtney made headlines again in June 2021 when she appeared on the California Franchise Tax Board’s biannual list of the top 500 delinquent taxpayers for allegedly owing $357,260.94 to the government.

In June 2021, actor Terrence Howard appeared on the California Franchise Tax Board’s biannual list of the top 500 delinquent taxpayers for allegedly owing $295,850.84. According to Page Six, the actor has been hit with tax liens multiple times in previous years including in 2019 for $140K for taxes owed from 2010. He reportedly paid off 2006 and 2010 liens for $600K and $1.1 million, respectively.

Despite living a lavish lifestyle as a Sur bartender on recent seasons of “Vanderpump Rules,” Jax Taylor has faced some deep financial trouble. In April 2021 — the same month wife Brittany Cartwright gave birth to their first child — it was reported that the Bravo star owed $1.2 million in overdue taxes. According to Reality Blurb, he talked about his woes on an Instagram Live and blamed a “bad bookkeeper,” though said he was “fixing it.” The news came at a tough time — he was fired from his Bravo show in December 2020 after purchasing a $2 million home. And it’s not the first time he’s faced tax issues: In 2019, the state of California filed a $80,424 tax lien against Jax that his rep has said he cleared up.

“Teen Mom” stars Tyler Baltierra and Catelynn Lowell faced tax trouble in 2020. The MTV reality stars, who’ve filmed shows for the franchise since 2009, owed more than $800,000 in tax debt covering three years, People magazine reported. The first tax lien for $535,010 came from 2016 and 2017, and another $321,789 lien followed for 2018. As of April 2020, Catelynn had only paid off a state tax lien of $6,001.
Though she shows off her very extravagant lifestyle on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” Dorit Kemsley and husband Paul Kemsley’s real financial situation appears to be a bit messier. In 2019, it was revealed that the couple were hit with tax liens amounting to $635,887 for 2015. PK individually also had a lien of $289,423 for 2014 and 2016, bringing the total amount they owed to nearly $1 million.
July 2016 was a bad month for Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott. That July 31, TMZ reported that the reality stars had been slapped with a federal tax lien for $707,487.30 in unpaid taxes for 2014. The news came just a few weeks after TMZ revealed that the couple owed the State of California $259,108.23 in back taxes, also for 2014. That followed news that Tori was in some major credit card debt too: In January 2016, American Express sued her to the tune of $37,981.97 in unpaid bills. And things continued to get worse, as it was reported that Tori still owed $1.2 million in taxes and unpaid credit card bills in May 2020, despite moving into a $3.7 million home the month earlier.
Lindsay Lohan has had her fair share of issues when it comes to the legal system. But they don’t just involve substance abuse and probation violations. She allegedly failed to pay some of her taxes from 2009 to 2011, totaling almost $300K. Luckily for LiLo, Charlie Sheen graciously forked over a check for $100,000 to alleviate her tax pain in 2009. But maybe he should have kept it…
In April 2018, Charlie Sheen‘s money problems made headlines: The Blast obtained court documents revealing that the troubled star owed $4,967, 376.41 in back federal income taxes for 2015. As of 2019 he was still working out his debts with the IRS and trying to come up with a payment plan for what had reached a $5.7 million debt.
She may have sold millions of records over the years, but Lauryn Hill failed to file tax returns from 2005 to 2009. Eventually, Uncle Sam came after her and made her take responsibility for evading her taxes. In 2013, the singer was sentenced to three months in prison for failing to pay $1 million in state and federal taxes. Ouch.
The Blast obtained documents showing that in April 2018, the State of California tax board filed a lien against Spice Girl and “America’s Got Talent” host Mel B and ex-husband Stephen Belafonte claiming they owed $274,863.99 in back taxes from 2016. In 2020, that amount jumped to a reported $2.5 million debt owed to the IRS. That, coupled with the spousal support she had to pay Stephen and the child support she pays him for daughter Madison had Mel claiming in November 2020 that she was near bankruptcy if she had to also pay $500,000 in legal and accounting fees she’d been ordered to fork over in New Mexico Bankruptcy.
Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino did prison time for his tax crimes. The “Jersey Shore” star pleaded guilty to tax evasion in January 2018 after failing to pay the U.S. Treasury on nearly $9 million in income he earned between 2010 and 2012. In October 2018, Mike was sentenced to eight months in prison, two years of supervised probation and 500 hours of community service. He surrendered to prison authorities in January 2019 and was released in September 2019.
In December 2015, Israeli media outlets reported that officials were investigating Bar Refaeli and her mother for allegedly evading their taxes. Officials said the Israeli model failed to report tens of millions of dollars she earned while working abroad and also failed to report non-cash payments including, for example, when she was given cars for modeling gigs. Bar also reportedly failed to pay taxes on her luxury apartment in Tel Aviv and tried to hide the fact that she was a resident of Israel by living in apartments registered in her mother’s and brother’s names. Bar denied the allegations against her but in 2020 reached a plea deal with authorities, avoiding prison time in favor of community service. Her mother wasn’t so lucky: It was reported that former fashion model Tzipi Levine Refaeli — who served as Bar’s agent — would spend 16 months in prison. The women each had to pay $720,000 in fines as well $2.3 million in back taxes, according to The Times of Israel.
In August 2017, Mary J. Blige revealed that she owed the IRS $6.5 million in back taxes from 2008 to 2016. This all came to light during her divorce from Kendu Isaacs when she filed an income and expense declaration in a Los Angeles court. In 2013, it was made public that the singer and her then-husband owed the IRS $3.4 million for unpaid taxes from 2009 to 2011. She also owed the State of New Jersey $900K in back taxes. Then in July 2019, the IRS reportedly filed a tax lien against her claiming she still owed $1.1 million.
“Survivor” winner Richard Hatch spent some time surviving federal prison after he was convicted of tax evasion. The reality TV star was sentenced to 51 months behind bars in May 2006 after failing to report more than $1 million in earnings from 2000 and 2001. He served three years before being released in 2009. Two years later, he found himself back in jail after failing to refile and pay his 2000 and 2001 taxes. He served an additional nine months behind bars before being released in December 2011.
In 2010, the State of California hit Khloe Kardashian with a $18,490.74 tax lien as a result of unpaid back taxes, penalties and collection fees from 2007. Oops! But she quickly resolved it.
Joe Giudice failed to file tax returns between 2004 and 2008, a time period during which he reportedly earned about $1 million. But that was the least of his and wife Teresa Giudice’s crimes. In a 39-count indictment, the stars of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” — who divorced after both did prison time for their financial crimes — were also charged with conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, bank fraud, making false statements on loan applications and bankruptcy fraud. According to court documents, the duo submitted fraudulent mortgage and other loan applications from 2001 to 2008 and made phony claims about their employment status and salaries.
According to Time magazine, Melissa Gilbert and her ex-husband had a $127,752 lien filed against them as far back as 2005. By the time June 2015 rolled around, the star of “The Little House on the Prairie” owed a whopping $360,000 to Uncle Sam. The actress set up a payment plan with the IRS to tackle her debt by 2024.
Believe it or not, Hollywood icon Sophia Loren had a criminal record thanks to tax troubles! In 1982, the acclaimed Italian actress served 17 days of a 30-day jail sentence for tax evasion. At the time, Sophia claimed the error on her 1974 tax return was just an oversight by her deceased tax preparer. It turns out she should have been in the clear all along! The Rome-based Court of Cassation ruled the calculations on her 1974 income were actually correct and she was finally vindicated — but not until October 2013.
Late rapper DMX spent time behind bars thanks to his tax troubles. In March 2018, the music star was sentenced to a year in prison plus three years of supervised release after he pleaded guilty to tax evasion charges. He was also ordered to fork over $2.3 million in restitution and attend an outpatient substance abuse program as well as an outpatient mental health program. But it could have been worse: DMX was facing 14 counts and 44 years in prison before he struck a plea deal with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York. He was released from prison in January 2019. He sadly passed away in April 2021.
“The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum Kim Richards owed some big money to the government. The former child star reportedly had to pay up $118,000 to the State of California in back taxes. That’s $52,068.70 for 2013 and $66,689.31 for 2014, according to court documents obtained by The Blast in April 2018.
Most of us will never see $6.4 million in our lifetime, let alone accumulate that kind of debt! But that wasn’t the case for Robert De Niro, who was slapped with a tax lien for that amount in 2015. Though the Oscar winner paid off the debt, it wasn’t necessarily his fault that he had it — the IRS sent late notices regarding his personal income taxes from 2013 to the wrong address.
“I regret not paying more attention to my accounting,” model Christie Brinkley said after being nailed with a $500K tax lien in 2001. Christie swiftly paid back the IRS shortly after she learned about her past-due bill.
Pamela Anderson has had her fair share of financial troubles over the years. In 2012, the blonde was hit with two tax liens: The IRS claimed that Pam owed $259,395.75 for unpaid taxes in 2011, and the State of California insisted she owed $112,118.90 for the same year. Hopefully she has a different accountant these days.
For an international superstar like Marc Anthony, it must be tough to keep track of all that money. In fact, Jennifer Lopez’s ex-husband has been in trouble with the tax authorities not once but twice. In 2007, he was hit with a $2.5 million tax lien by the State of New York for failing to file returns for four years. Just three years later, he found himself in hot water again after authorities claimed he failed to pay $3.4 million in back taxes. A lien was even placed on his Long Island estate.
In September 2016, TMZ reported that St. Louis rapper Nelly was hit with a $2,412,283 federal tax lien that August. Earlier in 2016, Nelly also found himself in tax trouble with the state of Missouri. TMZ reported that the rapper owed $149,511 in unpaid state taxes from 2013 to the Missouri Department of Revenue. (He originally owed $113,533 — the rest was accrued interest. Yikes!)
Robert Downey Jr. might be one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood, but that doesn’t mean he’s always paid his taxes! While serving time in prison for drug offenses, the reformed bad boy failed to pay his state and federal taxes and racked up almost $2 million in debt. But have no fear: The Marvel superhero actor reconciled his debt by 2007.
Toni Braxton has faced tax issues not once but twice! The R&B singer was first hit with a $125,000 tax lien for back state taxes in August 2016. Nearly two years later, Toni faced tax issues once again: The “He Wasn’t Man Enough” crooner was hit with four tax liens totaling $780,808.29 in March 2018. She reportedly owes the state of California $113,500.93 for 2015 and $116,870.07 for 2016. Toni also reportedly owed $310,223.28 in federal taxes for 2015 and $240,214.01 in federal taxes for 2016. In December 2018, the IRS filed additional liens against her. As of 2019 she was on the hook for $340,252.99 in back taxes for 2017 and $116,154.64 for other money owed.
Solange Knowles reportedly found out about her $55,000 tax lien after it was reported in the media. In December 2014, TMZ reported that the State of California was seeking to collect more than $55K in back taxes that the singer owed from 2010 to 2012. The story caught Solange’s attention after Global Grind tweeted about it: “Well thanks for letting me know,” she responded on Twitter.
About that money, T.I…. In July 2015, DailyMail.com revealed that the rapper owed the federal government more than $4.5 million in unpaid taxes from 2012 and 2013. In February 2016, DailyMail.com reported that Uncle Sam had hit the rapper with yet another lien — this time for unpaid taxes from 2014 — bringing his total debt to the IRS to $6.2 million. In 2019, after appealing a dismissal of his and wife Tiny’s claims to not have their assets seized, they dropped their appeal and reportedly made steps to fix the situation with the IRS.
Sharon Osbourne and Ozzy Osbourne felt the wrath of the government in 2011 when the IRS claimed that they owed quite a chunk of change in back taxes from 2008 and 2009 — to the tune of $1.8 million. After learning from the media that a lien had been placed on their home, they paid their bill off within a week.
The Osbournes don’t have the best reputation when it comes to paying their taxes! Like her parents, Kelly Osbourne has also failed to pay up, although it was for a much smaller amount. In 2009, the State of California nailed Kelly with a past-due bill for $34,763.30.
In a 2010 lawsuit, Nicolas Cage blamed his accountant for causing him to accumulate $14 million in back taxes! They settled it quietly, and though we’ll never know if Nic just forgot to pay his taxes or if his accountant was truly at fault, he’s kept busy at work and has slowly chipped away at his debt.
Lil Wayne has struggled to keep his finances in good shape. He owed the United States $5.6 million in unpaid taxes from 2008 and 2009. One would think that Wayne learned his lesson, but that wasn’t the case. In 2014, he racked up another $12 million in debt for failing to pay his taxes in 2011 and 2012.
Ja Rule spent time in prison for failing to pay his taxes. The rapper pleaded guilty to tax evasion on more than $3 million in income in March 2011. He was sentenced to 28 months in prison and agreed to pay $1.1 million in back taxes. He was released early in May 2013 but reportedly had to remain on home confinement for a few months.
In 2012, the IRS nailed Lionel Richie with a $1 million tax lien after he failed to pay what he owed in 2010. When your net worth is over $200 million, one mil seems like a small amount to fork over to Uncle Sam.
Jaime Pressly had a rough year in 2011. She got divorced, was arrested for DUI and found out she owed the government quite a bit of money — $637K, to be exact — for failing to pay federal and state income taxes. Eek!
It’s somewhat surprising that even after the success of the “Rush Hour” franchise, Chris Tucker has had a lot of financial problems. The actor failed to pay Uncle Sam in 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2006! (We’re not sure how he remembered to pay in 2003.) He ended up owing the IRS $11.5 million. But that’s not all! In 2012, the State of Georgia slapped him with a $600K tax lien.
After getting some bad financial advice, Stephen Baldwin received a notice from the State of New York saying he owed a chunk of change in back taxes from 2008 to 2010. When push came to shove, the actor took responsibility, pleaded guilty in 2013 and has since paid off his $400K debt.
Famed “Hollywood Madam” Heidi Fleiss tried to pull a fast one on Uncle Sam but ended up in the slammer. Back in 1996, Heidi was convicted on federal tax evasion charges and sentenced to seven years in prison after reportedly earning millions from her prostitution ring. She was released to a halfway house to complete her term after serving 20 months.
Wesley Snipes went from being on top of the world with his career to battling to stay out of prison. Allegedly it was all because he took bad advice from accountants who said he didn’t need to pay the federal government from 1999 to 2001, during which time he accumulated almost $7 million in debt. After being sentenced to 36 months in federal prison for tax evasion in 2010, he served 28 months at the McKean Federal Correctional Institution in Pennsylvania and the rest at home.
Willie Nelson racked up a large federal tax debt decades ago. In 1984, the IRS began investigating his tax returns and, after noticing unacceptable deductions, determined that Willie had underpaid them by $6 million — then tacked on $10 million in penalties. Though Willie was able to negotiate his debt down to $6 million, he couldn’t afford to pay it and in 1990, the feds raided his home and took everything! The only thing spared was his favorite guitar, Trigger, which he’d given his daughter shortly before the raid.
Dolce & Gabbana co-founders Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce were once in hot water over their taxes in Italy.

Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil, who leads a pretty typical rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle, has made good money touring over the years. But he might wish he’d paid more attention to his finances because in 2011, he ended up owing the IRS $1 million in back taxes.
Late rock ‘n’ roll icon Chuck Berry spent some time behind bars for evading his taxes. In 1979, Chuck pleaded guilty to failing to pay nearly $110,000 in federal income tax owed on his 1973 earnings. He was sentenced to four months in prison and 1,000 hours of community service.
Fat Joe tried to play Uncle Sam, but it didn’t work out so well for him. The rapper was charged with two counts of failing to file taxes with the IRS on more than $3 million in income in 2012. He paid $718,000 in back taxes before his sentencing but was still sentenced to four months in prison, a $15,000 fine and one year of supervised release in June 2013. Fat Joe eventually got an early release and left prison on Thanksgiving Day 2013.
Joe Francis has faced jail time for tax crimes too. The “Girls Gone Wild” founder was indicted on two counts of tax evasion concerning more than $20 million in false deductions and blamed his old accountant. Ultimately, he pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor counts of filing false tax returns in September 2009 and was ordered to pay nearly $250,000 in restitution to the IRS. He was also sentenced to 301 days already served plus a year of probation.

So, this may be kind of late, but I'm still going to write about it.
His musical talents were great, though his choices in life may not have always been. All in all, Michael Jackson was still a man. A man lost in his own childhood. A man who was ridiculed, made fun of and tortured. He lived a life greater than most, in both good and bad ways.
Although I did not know the man personally, I am sad that he is gone. He did a lot for music and for the world. His presence here on earth will be missed.
Continue listing to those MJ tracks and keeping his memory alive.
