Brown Sista

Usher and his new bride, Tameka Foster, will grace the November 2007 issue of Essence magazine and behind the scenes footage from their photo shoot has hit the net- and it does not show Tameka in a very good light. Tameka is shown having a diva attitude, demanding the room be cleared of everyone but the photographer and complaining about her wardrobe. There have always been rumors that Tameka is not the nicest person in the world and this clip will not do much to change the public’s image of her. Was Tameka simply pregnant and emotional, or was she showing the side of her we have all heard about but not seen until now? I’ll let you all be the judge.

Soloange Knowles recently did a sit down interview with Essence Magazine writer Jeanine Edwards, and finally admitted that her marriage to Daniel Edwards, the father of her son, was over. Solange, like any good mother in my opinion, declined to give details but admitted that the two were still friends and are raising their son together. Essence also got Solange to spill the beans on her new album, as well as her reported relationship with rapper Lil Wayne. You can check out excerpts from the interview below and to read the full article you can visit Essence Magazine’s official homepage.

Singers Alicia Keys, Beyonce and LeToya Luckett were all spotted over the weekend taking in various events and just enjoying their down time. Bey was spotted out with Jay- just having dinner. While Alicia and LeToya spent their time supporting human interest projects. First up however is Bey, who was spotted in Manhattan rocking those brass knuckle boots Rihanna wore a few months back when she appeared on 106 & Park. Bey’s version however ups the scare factor by adding spikes to the front. God help the man that gets into a confrontation with a woman wearing these boots. These things are sexy and yet scary at the same time (lol).

Just like Ashanti, singer Alicia Keys has an album to promote and with that promotion comes photo shoots and magazine covers. Alicia will be doing double duty for the month of November, covering not one but two (and possibly more) magazines. You can see Alicia strike a provocative pose for the cover of Marc Ecko’s Complex magazine and an even more beautiful shot of Alicia was used for her Ebony cover. November is obviously destined to be Alicia’s month as her new CD, As I Am, comes out on the 13th. Her first single, No One, is already a top 20 Billboard hit and is doing just as well on the digital sales chart (Itunes).

Up and coming dance diva, Ciara, appeared on the Tyra Banks show Friday and after the usual chit chat, Tyra got right down to the nitty gritty and asked Ciara the question that has been on everyone’s mind: Is she dating rapper 50 Cent? And as expected, Ciara blushed like a school girl and then commenced to denying that she and Fiddy were anything but good friends. Ciara says Fiddy appearing in her video and the photo shoots they did together were all business related and nothing more. I don’t want to give away too much of what was said, so instead you guys can click over to the next page to see a short clip of the interview for yourselves.

1. Actress Regina Hall, who was last seen on the small screen playing a lawyer on the hit Fox comedy, Ally McBeal, will be heading back to a television near you, as the sista has been tapped to play Cedric The Entertainer’s wife in a new ABC pilot. The show will revolve around a family man (Cedric) who has always been the proud breadwinner and has difficulty adjusting when his wife’s (Hall) hobby turns into a multimillion-dollar enterprise. 2. Keyshia Cole continues to make the rounds of all the music stations promoting her new CD, Just Like You, which is heading to the top of next week’s album charts according to Hits Daily Double. Keyshia stopped by The Fuse in New York City on Thursday afternoon and showed up for the interview looking quite spiffy. I haven’t always been a fan of Keyshia’s ultra blond short bob but somehow it has managed to grow on me. And while many sistas are opting to go darker, at this point I really cannot imagine Keyshia with anything but blond hair. 3. Actress Meagan Good was spotted out on the town sporting her signature nameplate earrings, drawn on eyebrows and the best darn accessory any woman can have- her man. Meagan also seems to be showcasing a new do which I really like. Thanks to Rihanna, dark hair seems to be making comeback with celebrity sistas and not a moment too soon if you ask me. 4. Last up is my girl Sanaa Lathan who made a rare public appearance and showed up for Us Magazine’s Hot Hollywood Party. Sanaa recently wrapped up a spectacular season on Nip Tuck, playing the vivacious Michelle Landau. Look for Sanaa next to make television history playing opposite Sean “Diddy” Combs, Audra McDonald and Phylicia Rashad in the televised version of A Raisin In The Sun which is being produced by Oprah Winfrey and is scheduled to air directly after the 2008 Oscar telecast.
