Stacey Dash has finally broken her silence about the possibility of continuing her starring role on VH1's Single Ladies. She has released a statement exclusively to GlobalGrind,
"I truly enjoyed playing Val on 'Single Ladies', but I have decided to leave the show. I have to be back in L.A. with my children right now and the 'Single Ladies' shooting location makes that impossible. I wish VH1 the best of luck with the show and in maintaining the strong fan base we developed in season one."VH1 has also released a statement,
Hold up. Wait. You leave the show because of you wanting to be closer to your children/family? I've constantly heard the stories about women of color complaining about the roles for them being very slim in television/movies. Now, you have a STARRING role on a hit show and decide to leave? I guess. It wouldn't/couldn't be me."VH1 respects Stacey’s decision and her commitment to what she feels is best for her family. We thank her for all of her hard work in making ‘Single Ladies’ a success right out of the gate, and we wish her nothing but the best in her future plans."
The feature, a combination of five stories of lives connected and affected by cancer, had Jennifer at the helm for "Mia," while Demi directed "Charlotte" and Alicia presided over "Lili." The dramedy offers up an all-star cast as it looks to share the tears and the laughter that comes with the subject, including Ginnifer Goodwin, Josh Holloway, Jennifer Morrison, Tracee Ellis Ross, Rosario Dawson, among others."Project 5" premieres on Lifetime on October 10th.
T.I. was released from prison early Wednesday morning (August 31) and is on his way to a halfway house to serve out the rest of his 11-month sentence for probation violation. MTV News received confirmation from Federal Bureau of Prisons spokesman Chris Burke that T.I. was released from Forrest City Correctional Facility in Arkansas at 7:29 a.m. and is on his way to a community living facility. The name of the facility will not be released until after his arrival.

"Feels great to be back where I belong...Back in the arms of those who need me the most," he tweeted from his verified @Tip account. "The storm is over & da sun back out. IT'S OUR TIME TO SHINE SHAWTY!!!!! Welcome to the beginning of our Happy Ending!!!!" Fans will be getting an intimate look at T.I.'s return to freedom in December thanks to a new show with VH1. In the still untitled series, viewers will get a behind-the-scenes look at T.I., and his wife Tameka 'Tiny' Harris, as he tries to walk the straight and narrow and stay out of prison for good.

“I think it’s really taught me a little bit more about myself and how I can be more affectionate and loving,” Mary-Kate says. “And how putting a smile on a kid’s face is … well, there’s nothing like it.” Adds Ashley, “The children are so special, kind, they’re loving, welcoming and they’re just incredible.”Although I despise TOMS shoes, this is such a great cause. Just precious!
Big screen superhero Robert Downey Jr. has some super news: he's expecting a child with wife Susan Downey. The actor, who reprises his role as Iron Man in the upcoming The Avengers, and his wife of six years are set to welcome their first child together early next year. "Robert and Susan could not be more excited over this news," his rep tells PEOPLE. "They can't wait to welcome this new baby into their wonderful family." The actor, 46, is already a father to Indio, 17, his son with ex-wife Deborah Falconer. But the news should come as no surprise. In 2010, while promoting his comedy Due Date, Downey predicted he'd have another kid in 2012. "I think I will be wrist-deep in doo-doo within 18 months. I'm calling it right here," he said. And he was thinking pink. "I think we should probably try to have a girl because I don't want another male entity to have to compete," he said. "I don't want Indio to feel there's another boy in my life. But I don't know what we'd have to do [to have a girl]. Do we have to put it in a spoon and hang it upside-down?"Lindsay Lohan, there is still hope! GET.IT.TOGETHER.
LOL! Congrats to Ed O'Neill on his "star"! I mean, who didn't love “Married... With Children” growing up???"As I'm standing here, it's a bit emotional. I can't help thinking that somewhere in the world, at this moment in a hospital, a beautiful little baby girl is being born. And when she grows up she's going to be my next wife on TV, and I look forward to that day. This is overwhelming. I want to thank the fans for being here. No fans, no show, no career."
It's not work when you love it :)U BETTA WERK, JADA! YAAAAASSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!! *drops mic and rubs belly like Beyonce at the VMAs*
"They were in good spirits," says an eyewitness who was at the cozy, art deco diner on Queen Street West at the same time. "They seemed happy. They had brunch together. They were talking. They enjoyed their food. They had a nice time."Well good for them!
Michael Vick's comeback is just about complete.CONGRATS to Mick Vick! He deserves EVERYTHING that is happening for him right now. This is what hard work gets you!!!The Philadelphia Eagles Monday announced that they have agreed to terms on a new six-year deal with their franchise quarterback. The team said there will be a press conference Tuesday afternoon to officially announce the deal. A four-time Pro Bowl quarterback, Vick has made it back to the top after having his career bottom out. He spent 18 months in federal prison on dogfighting charges and came back to the league as a third stringer with the Eagles in 2009. Now he is one of the highest paid players in the league with the deal reportedly worth $100 million with $40 million guaranteed."I'm very happy we were able to reach an agreement with Michael on this long-term contract," said head coach Andy Reid. "It's a product of all the hard work Michael has done to better himself over the last couple of years, both on and off the field." Vick led the Eagles to the NFC East title last season but they lost a home playoff game to the eventual Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers. Philadelphia is a favorite to win the Super Bowl this season and appears to be primed for a run over the next few years and now those hopes are tied to Vick. "I'm very proud that he has been able to achieve success again in this league, but he'll be the first one to tell you that there is a lot of work yet to be done by him and this team as a whole," Reid said. "And there's no doubt in my mind that he will continue on that path. I give a lot of credit to Joe Banner and Joel Segal for getting this deal done." With this new deal, Vick will be under contract with the Eagles through the 2016 season. He was previously playing under the one-year franchise tender. "I think he's become the ultimate leader of this team," tight end Brent Celek said. "He is our leader. He has taken control of the offense. The things that he can do athletically I think you guys already know that but the off-the-field stuff and the leadership that he has on the field he's really taken over." Vick led the Eagles to the NFC East title last season in his ninth NFL campaign.
Destiny's child, indeed! Fans worldwide were floored -- and thrilled -- when Beyonce unexpectedly announced her pregnancy at Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards in L.A. Clad in a loose, red Lanvin gown, the singer, 29, first rubbed her belly and told photographers the big news outside the show venue. Later, after a joyous onstage performance of "Love on Top," Beyonce unbuttoned her sequined D&G jacket and playfully rubbed her tiny bump once again. In the audience, dad-to-be Jay-Z (her hubby of three years) beamed as pal Kanye West congratulated him. And the first-time dad Jay-Z (real name: Shawn Carter), 41, is just as pumped. "Jay is ecstatic and over the moon," the insider says. "He really wanted this so badly." So far, the Grammy-winning duo haven't found out the gender of their first child -- and are keeping other details close to the vest. "They barely told anyone...They kept it really secret until they were sure," the pal explains, "and now she simply couldn't wait to tell the world!"*cheesin' REAL HARD* Just precious....
"She takes so many traits from her mother, and I just think it's going to be so natural for her. It's natural for her now!," she told Us weekly, adding, "I think she'll be an incredible mother, because she's always been motherly."Awwwwww! SISTERS!
I’ve learned that Warner Bros was hoping to start production on Clint Eastwood’s musical remake of A Star Is Born as early as February 2012. But now insiders tell me it “could push” because Beyoncé announced her pregnancy tonight at MTV’s VMAs. That will give the studio more time to settle on a male co-star for the singer/actress since Eastwood’s first choice, Leonardo DiCaprio, isn’t doing the pic. (Clint used his time with Leo on the studio’s J Edgar Hoover biopic to discuss A Star Is Born.) The project, which has been at WB for several years, has generated talk of pairing Beyoncé with Will Smith and with Christian Bale and with lots of other leading men. Beyoncé and Jay-Z wed in April 2008: he’s a good actor so I say give him the role. Clint is producing through Malpaso as well as helming the script by Will Fetters. Producers are Billy Gerber and Basil Iwanyk and Jon Peters (who made the infamous 1976 version with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson). There have been a trio of A Star Is Born versions made since the 1930s. Or even quartet if you consider What Price Hollywood (1932) made by George Cukor, which is often forgotten.
I can't put into words how happy I am for them (YES, I sound crazy...I know I do! In my mind, I act as if I already know them)!
I just love this gal!Brace yourselves NEW YORK.Irene is on her way now.
We just lost electricity.this bitch is coming.jason is oblivious.3 naps yesterday,slept all night,no prep.hurricane bethenny also here.
This is my hair (ABOVE)I wanted to wash&dry my hair yesterday &jason thought I was nuts.now the new hairstyle is hurricane bethenny.jen aniston is so jealous.
I have literally had my last leg with discriminating police! Miami police department will be notified.That's just awful! Often times, when things like this happen where civilians believe Police Officers abuse their power, its goes unnoticed and un-documented. I'm glad she is doing the right thing by reporting it!
A police officer just pulled a weapon on me.... I have done NOTHING illegal, against the law, or anything of the sort.
I am simply tired of police using arrogance, ego and authority as an offense.
I'm only tweeting this to raise awareness. I could have left quietly, but I am sick & tired of this scenario being played over & over again.
I'm ok. I'm safe & sound at my apartment. I'm just beyond frustrated with the system.
It is time to do something about it. I am a mother raising a young black child in America. Im going to die trying!
Been on the phone for the last 20 minutes reporting this incident. Yes, I have the officers name. Yes, I have the location.
Scare tactics don't WORK.
Voicing his disdain for the network that gave rise to music videos, Adam Levine took to Twitter to vent about tonight's MTV Video Music Awards. The Maroon 5 frontman, who joined his bandmates at the Snapple Tea Will Be Loved Launch on Friday night (August 26), tweeted, "the VMA’s. one day a year when MTV pretends to still care about music. I’m drawing a line in the sand. f**k you VMA’s.”WOW! "f**k you VMA’s", tho?!?!?!? HARSH....
Not taking too kindly to Adam's comments, MTV shot back a message of their own by tweeting, ”Soooo you’ll be tuning in at 9/8C tomorrow right? (BTW, bonus points if you TwitPic your 2004 Moonman!)”Good comeback MTV...lol
Unwilling to let MTV have the last word, 32-year-old Levine closed out the mini-feud by writing, “still waiting to have my ‘jerry macguire mission statement moment of deep regret… ‘ not happening. phew!”Easy, people. Can we all just get along?
Isn’t it NBC that’s supposed to be throwing surprising gigs at the Kardashians given its newfound Comcast-cozy relationship with the E! cable channel? Instead, CBS has tapped Kardash matriarch and manager Kris Jenner to guest host on CBS’ The Talk. Sources confirm Jenner has signed on for two weeks early this season and is being considered a potential substitute on days when Sharon Osbourne isn’t available. The Talk has also selected comedian and radio personality Sheryl Underwood to join the show as a co-host for the start of next season. Underwood, too, could become a regular, and will join the panel with Julie Chen, Sara Gilbert and Osbourne for The Talk’s second season launch, beginning Sept. 6. The two could potentially replace Leah Remini and Holly Robinson Peete, who are not expected to return next season since their contracts were not picked up.I don't understand this transaction at all! But we must wait until things are confirmed before we react....
“The split was amicable," says a source. "But they remain friends. They still really care for each other.”The private duo were rumored to be engaged at one point and NEVER spoke about their relationship publicly.
1. He's a fitness nut and a workaholicOh and last but not least...He's GAY! Who Knew? This just goes to show you that gay people are multifaceted! All gay men are not into fashion, and wear Prada shoes....
Cook is an early riser, the kind of guy who starts sending out emails at 4:30 a.m. He's also an avid hiker, cyclist and gym rat, regularly hitting the local health club at 5 a.m. He's generally the first person to arrive at Apple headquarters in the morning, the last to leave at night – and is said to subsist on energy bars.
2. He's a big fan of Lance Armstrong's
One of Cook's heroes is seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong, whom he reportedly enjoys quoting during Apple staff meetings. There are even rumors that Cook's closely cropped coif is based on Armstrong's cut.
3. He once experienced a life-changing health scare
In 1996, Cook was misdiagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Friends have said the experience forever changed his outlook on life. Since then, he has been active in helping to raise money to fund research into the disease.
4. He doesn't possess Steve Jobs' legendary temper, but …
Cook isn't prone to workplace rages the way Jobs was. In fact, should he encounter an employee who doesn't know his stuff, he never resorts to raising his voice. Instead, he's known to lapse into a frown, then begin staring at the unfortunate Apple staffer in silence.
5. He's a fan of Bob Dylan's and a diehard Auburn University football fanatic
Similar to Jobs, Cook is a Bob Dylan zealot. Yet one of his biggest passions is the Auburn Tigers football team. (Cook graduated from the university with a degree in industrial engineering.) The walls of his home and office are reportedly filled with War Eagle knick-knacks.
