Left Eye’s younger sister Reigndrop responds to Lil Mama being cast to play her sister and the family being left in the dark about the TLC biopic Family Of Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes Says They Aren’t Involved In TLC Biopic The fans and the general public might be excited about the TLC biopic that’s currently in the works , but there’s one pretty important group of people who aren’t quite on that bandwagon: the family of late TLC group member Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes. Left Eye’s younger sister Reigndrop Lopes recently sat down with Mara of 4UMF for a quick chat, where she revealed that the family has not been in the loop about anything regarding the biopic since giving their permission to tell Lisa’s story. Check out a few interview excerpts below: On whether or not the family has been involved with the movie: “No, we’re not involved in anything actually dealing with TLC. We would love to be involved, but it’s just not the case. The movie, yeah we knew about it ’cause we had to sign off on it, but we still have nothing to do with the movie, and I don’t know the release date or the premiere date. We didn’t even know when they were shooting. The only way I found out was because a friend of mine was cast as an extra and flew down here, and I happened to go up there with her. We didn’t know anything at all. The only way I can kind of feel is just disappointed and hurt. I can’t point the finger at anyone ’cause I don’t know whose decisions these are. It could be a collective decision, it could be one person, I have no idea. “She [their mother] was hurt, she was pissed off, and hurt more than anything, but it’s like what can we do? Legally, I don’t think we can do anything, but it’s just more morally, why wouldn’t you involve the family? We’re right here in Atlanta, and we’re open to being involved. And when you don’t reach out, it makes you wonder why, question why. We don’t know why. On rumors of a TLC tour and the family’s thoughts on a Left Eye hologram being used: “I didn’t really know about the tour until you mentioned it. I knew about a couple of dates, Japan and PA, but I really didn’t know about a tour, I didn’t know about the album, you pretty much just mentioned it.” “Actually, I actually thought of the [hologram] idea doing that even well before 2Pac’s, but I didn’t know if it actually could be done. And then when I saw 2Pac’s, then I was like, okay, well they can do it. I would definitely be okay with it. I don’t how my mom..she mentioned it, and when she mentioned it, she seemed okay with it. From the fans, I hear both sides. I hear fans that would embrace it, and other fans say no, it’s too real. But, that’s saying that now, when I see it, that’s another story. The thing is, I know the kind of stuff Lisa was into, and that’s something Lisa would have loved, a hologram. So that’s what I think about too.” Wow. Sounds like Left Eye’s family all but signed away their rights to be involved when they signed off on the movie. Wonder why they’re being kept in the dark? Hit the flip to hear Reigndrop and her family’s reaction to Lil Mama being chosen to play Left Eye in the biopic , what Left Eye’s relationship was like with her group members just before she passed and whether or not the family still supports T-Boz and Chilli today.

After being dumped by Sean Lowe during the hometown dates, beautiful brunette Desiree Hartsock is back and looking for love. And a best friend to share life with her. And probably a little fame, too. (If this doesn’t pan out, maybe she has a career as a rap artist ?) But hey, with 25 handsome and successful men flying in from all over for the chance to drink a lot of booze, spill some man tears, start some drama, all in the quest to win her hand, can we really blame her? Tonight she’ll meet the men of The Bachelorette Season 9 and narrow the playing field down to 19 contenders. Of course, if you don’t want to wait, feel free to skip ahead and read The Bachelorette spoilers to learn the identities of Desiree’s Final Four. The rest of us will be here watching what is sure to be two parts train wreck and one part treat. Desiree Hartsock lived a humbling life, so the extravagance of the house she’ll be staying in on the hillsides of Malibu, CA is quite the step up. And someone put m&ms on her nightstand. Plus 5. Where do I get somebody to do that? Sadness. We get to relive the tearful end of her relationship with Sean Lowe. Minus 10 . To help ease the pain of that breakup, The Bachelorette producers got her a Bentley. A. Bentley. Powder blue. She says she feels like she’s exactly where she’s supposed to be. After Desiree goes roller skating in a bikini top through Malibu, she sits down with Chris Harrison where she calls herself Cinderella no less than 3 times. She wants someone who can communicate how he feels. That means man tears, right? She vows to kiss the guy if she feels like kissing the guy. GIRL POWER! Plus 8 . She’s ready to weed out the men from the boys. So are we. Can we get to that now please? (Sure we can. After Desiree says the words “this is a fairy tale” a zillion times.) So, Chris Harrison introduces himself and the show right now at the 23 minute mark like we don’t already know what’s going on here. That will not ever cease to be not weird. Hooray! We’re meeting some of the men! Bryden is from Montana. He’s an Iraq war veteran who realized on his tour that he’s ready to find a best friend he can share his life with. He’s loyal, protective, sensitive, and plans to win her heart. Plus 2. Will is a banker from Chicago who practices Bikram Yoga. And high fives random people on the streets. Nick R. is also from Chicago.. In addition to being a tailor, he’s a magician. Drew is 27 and he’s in digital marketing, which means he does something with computers. Zak is from Texas. The middle of nowhere in Texas. He works in oil and gas and finds creative ways to entertain himself on his 15 acres. And one of those ways is by going nude. Plus 12 . Robert invented sign spinning. He and his buddies just had an idea one day 8 years ago and created a new style of advertising. And he rides a skateboard. He’s this season’s Jef with one F. Mike R is British without an accent. His family has the accent but he ditched it. Since Desiree’s big on the Cinderella, he should maybe pick that back up. Brandon is an adrenaline junkie. Not sure how he makes money wakeboarding, but okay. Adrenaline junkie. He was raised by his grandparents after his parents divorced. He believes in the power of positive thinking. Desiree has arrived at the rendezvous spot and she’s ready to meet her “husband.” I hope she knows the track record of the Bachelorettes who’ve come before her. Drew the digital marketer is the first out of the limo. He’s too nervous to introduce himself. Brooks from Salt Lake City is the next out. He also forgets to introduce himself but demands a second hug. Brad the accountant remembers his own name and brings a wishbone as a callback to Desiree’s wish-making with Sean. She wins the wish. Bryden’s hoping that Sean’s loss is his gain. Michael G. is a Federal Prosecutor. He’s going into the fountain to try and find her penny so she can have a do-over on her wish from last year. The second limo arrives and Kasey climbs out. He works in social media and came up with his own hashtags: #marriagematerial and #letthejourneybegin. Minus 47 for the hashtags. Will the yoga guy tells her she has the presence of a goddess and nicknames her Athena. Since she’s the goddess of war, he maybe should have gone with Aphrodite. Mikey T is a plumber with a close family. He’s an older brother so he understands her relationship with her brother. The relationship that sort of cost her Sean last season. Jonathan goes bold and hands her a key to his own Fantasy Suite. Desiree is not amused. At all. Zak shows up without his shirt and asks if Desiree will accept his abs. (She’d be a fool not to accept his abs.) Plus 8 . James believes that loyalty is love and tells her that if they get married, he’s going to get fat and old but they’ll still be together. Larry is an ER doctor who loves to dance. He tries to dip her and her shoe gets caught on her dress. Awkward. Nick the magician brings her a paper rose which he lights on fire and turns into a white rose. Zack K . is a book publisher who rocks the Chucks with his tux. Those elicit a compliment from Des. Diogo is here to be her knight in shining armor. Quite literally. Someone get that man an oil can and a turkey leg. Minus 7 . So far the guys have brought their cheesy A-games. But there are still 10 more to meet. Chris is a mortgage broker who gets down on one knee and asks….to tie his shoe. Then says he wants to get off on the right foot. Ha. Ha. Mike R., the dental student, wore his white coat so he could be Desiree’s McDreamy. Or McSteamy. Whichever. It’s not like he knew the difference. Robert ‘s not much of a tie guy, so he takes his off upon saying hello. Juan Pablo is a Venezuelan soccer player. And Desiree can’t even seem to say his name. That relationship is doomed. But he did bring her chocolate, so at least that’s one language they both speak. Brandon rides up on his motorcycle and Desiree asks to go for a ride. On his bike. Ahem. Plus 7. Brian wears a soft jacket. Micah wears a suit he designed himself. It pales in comparison to Desiree’s stunning red number from her own introduction. Pales. Nick wrote a poem: “Des, after watching you at the end of last season/I know I’m here for the right reason./The way you showed such genuine emotion/Made my heart flutter like waves in the ocean.” And we stopped listening and tried not to barf. Minus 4 Dan says he’s happy to meet Desiree three times in 10 seconds. The final guy of the night, Ben brings his son Brody to meet Desiree. And then sends him back to grandma where he wins the hearts of America on the way back to the limo by asking if he did everything and wishing he could go to the party with his Dad. Heart. Melted. Plus 45 . All the men are in the house! Desiree’s ready to get to know them. Chris Harrison tells her she doesn’t have to wait until the ceremony to start passing out roses. If Sean can do it, so can she. Kasey has another hashtag: #IWantARose. You and 18 other dudes, dude. With a little trick up his sleeve, Nick R. makes Des disappear for about 5 minutes and steals her away for the first one-on-one conversation. Like her, he’s in the custom clothing industry. So, common ground for the two of them. Brandon cuts in and asks Nick R. to disappear for 5 minutes. Minus 3 . He tells her that he flipped a coin to decide whether he should take a shot at going on The Bachelorette or to his birthday party with his grandparents. Here he is. He gives the coin to Des and tells her to give it to his mom on their hometown date. The guys take turns butting in and stealing Des away. Ben steals her and talks about his son. He’s never been married and has a kid with his best friend. He loves to camp and so does Des. He gets the first rose of the night. After getting the first rose, Ben starts dishing out advice to the other guys which the other guys do not appreciate. Haters gonna hate. The other guys start game-planning to get the roses. Diogo wears his helmet and someone does a little dance for her. Zak says he has to do something to get her attention as if the fact that he’s been shirtless all night hasn’t been enough. So in addition to being shirtless, he takes off his pants and jumps in the pool. Wonder where she’ll pin the rose now? While he’s swimming, the other guys whisk her away and Zak freezes. His stunt, or stripping down to his skivvies, earned him the second rose! Bryden ’s best friend is his dog. He plays the kid card, too, and tells the story of an Iraqi boy he befriended while overseas. He gets the third rose of the night. Juan Pablo’ s accent prevents Desiree from hearing or understanding anything else. He shows her some soccer moves and then starts a scrimmage with the other guys. The other guys who are growing increasingly more frustrated that they don’t have roses. The guys get more and more antsy as Drew steals her away for a chat. With her boobs. Minus 6 . She notices him looking at places other than her face and calls him on it. Then she gives him a rose. Larry laments his failed attempt to dip Desiree . He’s incredibly drunk. So drunk his face doesn’t move when he talks and he takes his glasses off and puts them back on and takes them off again. So drunk. Minus 4 . Jonathan calls himself “the guy who does bold things” and plans to plant one on her in his own version of the Fantasy Suite. He does some one-legged push-ups to prepare. He tells her his Fantasy Suite comment was a joke she didn’t get. She’s doing her best to get away from him and he just won’t let her leave. She’s not buying it. But hey, his mom says he’s good looking. Des should totally go for that! He pulls a Vicki Gunvalson and talks about his empty love tank. And I make a dirty joke in my head about his empty love tank and all that time he’s been spending alone in the Fantasy Suite. Kasey has another hashtag, and this one works. #FantasySuiteFail . Plus 13 . Desiree asks Jonathan to leave immediately. No rose ceremony for him. Plus 15 . Chris Harrison swoops in and swipes the tray of remaining roses. The rest will be handed out at the Rose Ceremony. Which is happening right now. The lucky guys receiving roses during the ceremony are: Brandon Zack K. Will Brooks Juan Pablo Brad Kasey James Robert Brian Dan Chris Mikey Joining the above 13 are: Ben Zak Michael Drew Nick Bryden Larry ‘s still upset about his failed attempt at dipping Des and Nick the magician doesn’t understand how his tricks didn’t work. Diogo has an “explosion of love and feelings” to share with someone. Just not Desiree. If the previews are any indication, get ready for a wild, tear-filled trip around the world as the bachelors attempt to woo Desiree Hartsock! EPISODE TOTAL: +34 SEASON TOTAL: +34
O.J. , what can college students possibly learn from you? How to kill a b**** 101? How to go to jail for stealing your own ish? O.J. Simpson Wants To Go On Tour If Released From Jail According to TMZ OJ Simpson is already planning life after jail — despite the fact that his conviction has yet to be overturned — and priority numero uno: a massive college speaking tour to line his pockets. Simpson is gunning for a retrial in his 2007 armed robbery case, for which he’s currently serving out a 33-year-sentence. If a new trial happens, and his conviction is overturned, Simpson’s time behind bars could be drastically reduced. With high hopes of getting out soon, Simpson reportedly told a source close to The NY Post that he plans to go on a nationwide college tour to make some cold, hard cash speaking about the Nicole Brown murder case. OJ told the source, “I’m excited. I mean, they teach the ‘Trial of the Century’ in school, so who better to talk about it than me?” According to the report, Simpson could make up to $1,000 per speech. Would you want O.J. teaching your kids? AP
Aretha Franklin Criticizes Kim Kardashians Parenting Plans Word recently hit the street that Kimmy Cakes was planning to take her little Yeezy bundle on the road when Kanye starts his tour, and amongst the naysayers, was the queen of Soul Aretha Franklin. Ace Showbiz Aretha Franklin apparently is concerned about Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s baby.

The 71-year-old singer replied that she would not do it. “I wouldn’t,” Franklin said. She added, “I can’t speak for anyone else, but I wouldn’t.” Well, there you have it.

Bieber Storm in Istanbul! “Believe” ITU Stadium on May 2, 2013 part of the tour, which will give a concert with Justin Bieber’s album sales over 15 million w… http://www.youtube.com/v/o0V0PJQFnhA?version=3&f=videos&app=youtube_gdata Follow this link: Justin Bieber Concert in Turkey / Istanbul – 02 May 2013
I am 15 years old and I am originally from Lithuania but living in the UK . I always used to go on this website and read about beliebers meeting Justin and I’m not going to lie, it was heartbreaking. Back in summer of 2012 I couldn’t get any tickets for the Believe tour, however my mum bought me some from Seatwave on the same day, therefore they turned out to be really pricy! After long months of waiting my tickets arrived on 15th February. I started to realize what was happening: I would be going to see Justin Bieber at a concert after nearly 5 long years of waiting. Around 18th February I entered a competition to win tickets for a concert for 5th of March because my dream was to go to the arena and find a person who doesn’t have tickets and just give them one. After a few days of spamming O2’s Twitter, me and other 8 girls won the tickets! I told my mum and she got excited and said, “Well that means you can sell your 4th of March tickets,” but I refused to because EVERYTHING happens for a reason. I won and bought these tickets for a reason. Maybe something special was going to happen on that day. I was right. On 4th of March, my friend and I got on a train to London Waterloo in the afternoon. I was so excited! When we finally arrived at the O2, we met some beliebers and went up to the gate where Justin goes in. After hanging around for over an over in this windy weather we saw his tour bus! I was shaking already by knowing Justin Drew Bieber is like 5 feet away from me! After being unsuccessful of catching a glimpse of him, I went to meet my friend Holly at the entrance. 10 minutes later she was given a meet and greet ticket by a man who was going to go in with his daughter, but he said he would rather give it to a belieber! I was crying so much, I was so happy for her. But then, his wife came over and said that if she was allowed to take her bracelet off, she would give it to me! I was on the floor, shaking and crying, I couldn’t even talk. Justin’s security said it was fine and this amazing lady gave this stupid paper bracelet (that could change any beliebers life) to me. I couldn’t believe these things happen. I was then standing in a queue with some amazing people waiting to meet Justin. What?! I called my mum to tell her about me meeting him, but i couldn’t talk because I was crying so much. She was so excited for me! Then 10 minutes later, Dan Kanter came out and he was just chillin with us all for about 20-30 minutes! We took some amazing photos. I was then the next person to go in. I walked up to Justin and was like, “C-c-can I ha-ave a h-h-hug?” He smiled said, “Yes sure.” I was dying and I couldn’t believe it. Two hours ago I didn’t even know I was meeting him. Security tried to pull us apart and he didn’t let them by saying, “No.” OH MY GOD. His arm was around my waist and then on my shoulder! When I had to go he gave me puppy eyes and nodded his head. My eyes started to tear up. He dragged his arm all across mine till our finger tips met. I was shaking and crying right after as I was walking out. Then the nicest and prettiest girl Annie (a girl who I met in the queue) came out and we both went mental. I also had put a letter on his gift table. I didn’t even know I was meeting him, I had wrote it just in case. When we got into the actual arena I couldn’t stop crying. After 4 long years I got to meet my idol, the guy who got me through so much! Before the concert started, I got my friend Holly to sit with us. It was so amazing and the best night of my life. Don’t stop believing! -@victorialovez_ Excerpt from: I am 15 years old and I am originally from Lithuania but living…
