Tasha Smith to Play Donna Summers

Actress Tasha Smith, who totally stole the show in Tyler Perry’s Why Did I get Married, has been tapped by famed casting director, Robi Reed, to bring Donna Summer’s life story to the big screen. Tasha and Robi let the cat outta the bag while appearing at the 2007 American Black Film Festival a few days ago. “It’s a movie we’ve been working on and we’re excited,” Tasha revealed. “We’re still in the development stages of it but I will be playing Donna Summer, it’s just telling her life story.” Summer, the legendary Academy Award winning singer known as “The Queen of Disco,” catapulted to the top of the 1970s pop music stratosphere with hit songs such as ‘Last Dance,’ ‘I Feel Love,’ ‘McArthur Park, and ‘ ‘Love to Love You Baby.’

Jacob The Jeweler Busted!

And we didn't know this already?? Come on! We all know the Celeb's wrist, and body he was blinging, he just had to be caught up in something. That was a given.

A celebrity jeweler who put diamonds on celebrities from Sir Elton John to Kanye West pleaded guilty Wednesday to falsifying records and giving false statements to investigators looking into a multistate drug ring.
Terms of the plea deal call for Jacob Arabov of New York to serve up to 46 months in prison and pay a $2 million penalty, U.S. Attorney Stephen J. Murphy said in a news release. No sentencing date was immediately set by U.S. District Judge Avern Cohn.
In return for the guilty plea, prosecutors agreed to drop money laundering charges against the man known in the hip-hop world as "Jacob the Jeweler," said Arabov's attorney, Benjamin Brafman.
"I realize I have made a terrible mistake and I accept the consequences of my actions," Arabov said in a news release issued through Brafman.
Arabov, 42, was arrested in June 2006 at his Manhattan jewelry shop. Authorities accused him and others of conspiring to launder about $270 million in drug profits for the "Black Mafia Family," a ring that operated out of the Detroit area beginning in the early 1990s.
The 7-year investigation resulted in the indictments of Arabov and 41 other people, Murphy's office said. Twenty-eight have pleaded guilty, eight are scheduled for trial Nov. 19 and the whereabouts of six others are unknown.
Federal authorities have said about 1,100 pounds of cocaine and $19 million in cash and other assets were seized beginning in 2000.

Karrine/Superhead/Etc...On her Ex-Man

Now that Karrine Steffans is no longer dating Bill Maher, she has no love for the man. The former girlfriend of the television host say's about her Ex in the next month's VIBE. She says,

"Bill wants someone he can put down in an argument, tell you how ghetto you are, how big your butt is, and that you're an idiot. That's why you never see him with a white girl or an intellectual. I might as well have been a Muslim woman with my head wrapped, walking 10 paces behind my man. [But] I couldn't be 'Bill Maher's girlfriend' any more - not when I'm Karrine Steffans... best-selling author." (Source)

So are you saying (And her dumb a** probably didn't even realize) that she was calling herself a non-intellectual person. But now since the whore made some books about the men she slept with, "Oh that constitutes her as an intellect.....B**** Please! "Go swollow some more......I'm so bad! But you know it's true!

Al B Coming Back

And what about the man himself? Just because he hasn't had a record out in ages, some think he fell off, but he's been busier than you think. And we've got Al B. working on the new album, which is called Honey I'm Home.

" It's been quite a while, but its coming. Everybody I run in to, from Anthony Anderson to Michael Jackson [Uh huh. - - Fresh], are asking me 'When're you going to come with the new album. I really love it and appreciate it. It's about time now. I've lost all the weight and it's time to do it."

Is it me or is he looking real scrump? I ain't mad at that at all!

Kelis Get's Droped From Label

Jive Records has dropped Kelis and she is looking for a new record label. Her manager explained her drop to EW:

It was a case of being in the ever-shrinking world of the record industry and finding herself on a label she wasn’t signed to and without a champion,” says Kelis’ manager, Jeff Rabhan. “She’s a different kind of artist — very image and style-driven. It’s either something you get or you don’t.”

And Mrs Kelis/Jones right now you don't have it! Sorry for ya!
