By L.T. Dinwiddie
Despite mixed reviews, the new step-show enthused “Stomp The Yard” stepped into theaters at number one over the holiday weekend. The movie, starring Columbus Short, Megan Good, Ne-yo, and Chris Brown, all brought in an impressive 22 million dollars knocking “A Night at the Museum” out of number one position. With such an exciting debut, the urban dollar is proving to have a lot of Clout amongst Hollywood these days. "Sony picked a great weekend to release the film," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Media By Numbers. FULL STORY
Poor Toni Braxton, she just can’t seem to get her singing career on track since moving to two other reco
rd labels within a 6 year period. After a lengthy legal battle with Laface Records that sparked a “sudden change” in recording companies, sultry singing sensation Toni Braxton—had decided that Arista would be the place that she’d call home.
However, In April 2003, Braxton abruptly left Arista Records, having been there for fourteen years, and immediately signed with Blackground Records — headed by Barry Hankerson, her, now former manager. And now, she is suing her former manager and record label claiming that he owes her at least 10 million dollars for dirty dealings that caused her to abandon a long relationship with Arista Records for the managers own record label.

Speaking of artists fleeting singing careers…
According to Juicy News, Monica's lastest album, 'The Makings Of Me' has only been out 3 months and it's no longer listed on the Billboard Top 200 Charts.
It has just returned at #198 and lands at #38 on the Billboard R&B Albums Chart. Her supporters are begging J. Records her label to allow her to make one more video off of the CD in hopes that it will add some momentum to the album. MONICA PETITION
Right on the heels of publicly denying that he and Eddie Murphy are in no way shape or form—Lovers,to Sister2Sister magazine. My California source tells me that Johnny Gill and Murphy were in fact together in Las Vegas over the holiday weekend. My source goes on to say:
“The Dreamgirls star was trying to keep his fun on the downlow. Murphy arrived - wearing a hoodie and sunglasses - with Gill at Moon nightclub at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas on Saturday night. They had a couple of bottles of Ketel One and Dom Rose at their table. Barry Bonds joined the pair for a few drinks later in the evening.”
Do friends conceal their identities to have fun together? I don’t know, but it sound fishy to me.
I’m not sure what’s more puzzling, two washed up celebrities dodging the cameras, when they both know
they want/need the media frenzy? Or, Whitney Houston wearing a white mink coat after Labor Day!
I don’t report on white media all that often. However, this sh*t was so funny I couldn’t help myself. Brokeback Mountain Star, Jake Gylenhal hosted this weekends Saturday Night Live. And as a “gift” to his gay fans he belted out his unique DreamGirls “And I’m Telling You” rendition in drag. I laughed my ass off when I saw this footage. Check it out. (Quickly, before NBC pulls it from youtube.com)
Diana Ross fans, Diana will be performing on Good Morning America today, January 16. Her performance is apart of the very popular ABC “Winter Concert” series. Is it a coincidence that Diana maybe backpacking off the DreamGirls success to fuel her new CD. DreamGirls is rumored to be based on historic girl group the The Supremes. Diana is rumored to be very upset that Hollywood is making millions of dollars off her story. Let’s see if Diane Sawyer addresses these rumors. Check your local listings.
I found Sam Jackson’s movie Black Snake Moan, directed by Craig Brewer. In this new gritty and raw film Jackson plays the character, Lazurus, a God-fearing bluesman who takes to a wild young woman (Ricci) who, as a victim of childhood sexual abuse, looks everywhere for love, never quite finding it.
This movie looks like its going to he amazing. Check it out.
