Toni was hesitant about doing the show at first, but gave in after convincing from her youngest sister Tamar. “She said you should tell your story because they know you as an artist, but they don’t know you as a sister and a mom and a friend, and you should expose that side,” she told “Access Hollywood.”  Peep teaser below seems interesting.

Wendy Williams Essence Double Cover Girl

Radio heroine turned talk show diva Wendy Williams is covering the upcoming May 2011 issue of ESSENCE magazine…with double covers! It’s their first ever “Girlfriends issue,” and who better to be the face than the chick most of us have been “friends in our head” with for years.

Wendy dishes to ESSENCE about friendship, family and the driving force behind the talk show queen’s appeal. The issue also features quotes from other celebrity besties—including Beyoncé and mom Tina Knowles; Sherri Shepherd and Niecy Nash; Jada Pinkett Smith and Queen Latifah; Kelly Rowland and Brandy; Monica and Keyshia Cole and more.

Maybe the cross-country traveling and being a mom to a pre-teen boy and a wife and shooting 2 shows at once was a bit much for Mrs. Wendy. She was voted off “DWTS” on Tuesday night. But she says she’s extremely proud to have done it–despite being bogged down with being every woman at the same time. Magazine on stands today

Original RHOA DeShawn Snow Dropped 30lbs After Divorce

The very first season of Real Housewives of Atlanta had a then married soft spoken Deshawn Snow as one of the less drama filled cast mates, which eventually got her quickly replaced by Kandi Burruss after only one seaseon.  The Former “Real Housewives” star DeShawn Snow dropped 30 pounds after going through the drama, the tears, and the sadness, in the public eye. How she did it is another journey in itself.



The Hot mama of three, who struggled through a divorce from NBA player Eric Snow last summer, came out of the pain on top. She tells UsMagazine.com that she felt like everything around her was out of her control.

“I had no control over anything that was happening in my life and the weight and working out was something I could control.”

So Deshawn decided to hire a  personal trainer Trey Crump who helped her with her new body.

“[When] Trey heard [of my divorce], he texted me and was like ‘Meet me at the gym at 6 a.m.’ He didn’t ask me any questions, we just worked out. That was his way of getting me out of bed and then once I started, I just got consistent.”

As part of her regular routine, the newfound woman works out every day for two hours and eats in moderation. Now down 30 pounds, she says 10 more will get her right where she wants to be.

Basketball Wives Evelyn Lozada Doubles Salary

We see who the real star of the show is and sometimes being last pays off. Evelyn Lozada got a HUGE raise before she struck a deal with VH1 to stay on board for Season 3 of “Basketball Wives” -- in fact, we're told she more than DOUBLED her old salary.


Sources close to the production tell TMZ, Evelyn didn't get the $20k per episode she demanded ... but we're told she's "very happy" with the counter-offer.

But Evelyn didn't just get a pay bump -- we're told Producers also APOLOGIZED to Lozada for the way she was portrayed in the Season 2 finale ... a huge reason why Evelyn was hesitant to re-sign with the network.


We're told Lozada -- who threatened to leave the show after she felt the producers backstabbed her -- is happy with the new deal ... and shooting is already underway.

Charlie Sheen Show Bombs In Detroit...But Get's Laughs In Chicago

Ugh not Winning anymore! Recovering addict, Charlie Sheen opening for his drug tour "My Violent Torpedo Of Truth Tour" had some serious problems in Detroit.  Sheen  was heckled and booed off the stage in Detroit.  Sheen took the stage close to 9 p.m., the mood in the auditorium went sour. The warm up comedian, Kurt Fox, drew a chorus of boos so loud that Sheen came out before his scheduled intro to ask the audience to play nice.

Before his official debut, he played a montage of video clips including scenes from "Apocalypse Now," the film starring Sheen's father that Sheen claims to be obsessed with. He then strutted on stage with his paid for hire "goddesses," Bree Olsen and Natalie Kenly, who proceeded to engage in a passionate kiss, much to the delight of the crowd.

After Sheen ranted and raved about how his critics did him wrong, the audience seemed confused. They started to boo, loudly. Sheen pushed back, saying "I already got your money, dude." (All tickets stipulated that no refunds would be granted.).

Throughout the night, the booing intensified, and people began streaming out of the theater, which ended in a Train Wreck much like himself.  But in Chicago a new day has dawn, Charlie Sheen made some changes to his road show Sunday night – and this time, it ended with a standing ovation.



Sheen used a talk show-style format at his Chicago show, with a master of ceremonies asking the actor questions. The interviewer, who didn't identify himself, kept Sheen on track and gave the actor a chance to make some snarky comments. 

Some audience members said the second performance on Sheen's "My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not an Option" tour wasn't outstanding, but at least it had amusing moments. And Sheen drew cheers throughout the show, which began and ended with a standing ovation.  We at the House Of Glitz would encourage Sheen not to quit his day job, but he already did. (we will wait for the video).

Rihanna switches it up yet again. On Sunday evening (April 3), the 23 year-old singer debuted yet another hair style, this time going for a more clean cut "cover girl look", while performing a duet of at the 46th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards.  Ri Ri sang “California King Bed” with country singer Jennifer Nettles.  The new wig is growing on us but for now two-thumbs up.  Peep video below.
