Mel B’s topless campaign for breast cancer awareness

Posted on September 12, 2012 by Salone

Melanie Brown, a.k.a. Spice Girl Mel B, has never been shy when it comes to cleavage. (Fun fact: there is an entire Facebook group dedicated to her cleavage. Alas, it only has nine members.) But she’s taken her love of “boobs” to a whole new level, going topless in a new campaign to promote breast cancer awareness.

The picture you see to your right is featured in the latest UK edition of Cosmopolitan. Joined by her husband Stephen Belafonte, Scary Spice replicates Janet Jackson’s legendary Rolling Stone cover for the charity CoppaFeel!, in advance of October’s Breast Cancer Awareness month. In one word… Spicy!

But it’s the accompanying interview that’s particularly interesting and full of fun tidbits about Mel B and the Spice Girls themselves. We highlight three things we learned.

MJ Estate Seeks to Pay for Janet Jackson’s Condo

Posted on August 14, 2012 by Salone

The Michael Jackson Estate wants to pay for a portion of Janet Jackson‘s mortgage on her posh Las Vegas condo … TMZ has learned.

The Estate filed documents asking the Probate judge to foot a portion of the bill on Janet’s mortgage. Sources tell us … Katherine Jackson has spent time at the condo and the Estate is willing to pay a pro rata share of the mortgage based on how much Katherine uses Janet’s Vegas crib.

A hearing is pending on the Estate’s request, which was filed before the whole Arizona thing.

Two interesting things.

– Thing 1. Given that Janet has become an arch enemy of the Estate, it’s kind of a smart move to co-opt her by partially footing the bill.

– Thing 2. This all may amount to nothing, because we’re told Katherine isn’t speaking to Janet, so it’s unlikely she’ll be sleeping in Janet’s bed anytime soon.

Nicki Minaj Video Star Demoted After Tweet

Posted on March 14, 2011 by Salone

A guy who appears in an upcoming Nicki Minaj video claims he was demoted from the lead role to a face in the background … all for revealing top secret information about the project on Twitter.

The guy with the six-pack is Toyin Koyejo — who claims he was punished for tweeting the title of the song featured in the music video. Apparently, Minaj had intended to keep it a secret.

Sources connected to the shoot tell us Toyin was approached by a furious crew member who claims the tweet was a direct violation of his confidentiality agreement … and Toyin was almost fired on the spot.

However, we’re told Toyin apologized to the powers that be … and they let him stay on the project … but in a less prominent role as a featured extra.

Tyler Perry New Movie soon to be out: For Colored Girls (2010)…. see movie posters and read on

Posted on September 10, 2010 by Salone

As I mention in a post a while ago that Tyler Perry was doing this movie, it was suppose to be out next year but hey what do you know it will be out this year. I am truly happy to see that also I want to say I love the movie posters, nice. Now about the movie and cast sorry to say Jill Scott is not in this movie although she should have been. So here we go:

See the new character posters and movie photo from the Tyler Perry adaptation ‘For Colored Girls’, starring Janet Jackson, Thandie Newton, Kerry Washington and Kimberly Elise. A group of African-Americans face the struggles and journey toward self respect experienced by black women in America.

Release Date: November 5, 2010
Studio: Lionsgate
Genre: Drama, Adaptation
Director: Tyler Perry
Screenwriter: Tyler Perry
Official Website: ForColoredGirlsMovie.com
Starring: Janet Jackson, Loretta Devine, Michael Ealy, Kimberly Elise, Omari Hardwick, Hill Harper, Thandie Newton, Phylicia Rashad, Anika Noni Rose, Tessa Thompson, Kerry Washington, Whoopi Goldberg, Macy Gray, Richard Lawson, Khalil Kain
Running Time: 2 hrs.
MPAA Rating: Not yet rated

Lionsgate and Tyler Perry appear to be tossing their hat into this year’s Oscar race.

The studio announced this morning that Perry’s next picture, “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf,” will premiere on Nov. 5 … and not in 2011 as was expected.

The star-studded film, an adaptation of Ntozake Shange’s landmark 1975 stage study of the African-American female experience, packs Anika Noni Rose, Kerry Washington, Janet Jackson, Kimberly Elise, Phylicia Rashad, Loretta Devine, Tessa Thompson and Thandie Newton into its ensemble.

Clearly, the studio feels Perry’s drama can compete in the annual awards race. Perry had success just last year as a producer for Lee Daniels’ “Precious,” which won two Oscars (for screenplay and co-star Mo’Nique).

More on “Colored Girls” as it begins to screen, but this is a very good sign for Lionsgate, a vote of confidence for Perry, and a shakeup for the still forming Oscar picture.

So looking forward to this movie are you? No trailer available yet.

JANET LOOSES ALL THAT WEIGHT AND NOW LOOKING GOOD IN A BIKINI….. SEE PHOTOS

Posted on July 20, 2010 by Salone

Jackson began dating Wissam, who is nine years her junior, earlier this year following her split from Jermaine Dupri after seven years together.

The star is currently writing True You, a self-help book with exercise and diet tips.

She recently admitted to struggling for years with her weight and body image.

‘I wanted to write this book because I wanted kids to have something to read and know that that they are beautiful as they are,’ she told Essence magazine this month.
