New Ginuwine Pics

]

OMG! I am so happy G is coming back. Ya'll do not understand. I have been a" Ginufine" fan since Aaliyah's One In A Million video. He is so serious. I do think in a few of the pics, G looks darker than he usually looks. G isn't that dark, I've seen him before in concert and at an album signing.  Speaking of a Ginuwine concert, believe me when I say you will never go to a better male singer's concert than G-wine. My best friend was a diehard Usher fan and once she went to see Ginuwine, she converted over. LOL! He gives a good show.


Snoop's wife Shante turns 31  




Shante and Jamie (Foster-Brown of Sister 2 Sister magazine) look nice. I love Snoop, but he is getting too old to still be rocking the "press and curl". LOL

Rapper Paul Wall gets married




Congrats to them!

Rapper Heavy D may be 160 pounds smaller, but he's still a heavyweight on talent. Heavy is being lauded for his spellbinding portrayal of a traumatized Vietnam veteran in the play Medal of Honor Rag. "Stage is really like a whole new muscle," Heavy told JET. "It's the most mentally fatiguing thing. When I leave rehearsals, I feel like I've run 10 miles." JET talks more with Heavy D about shedding the weight to improve his acting prospects and what's next for the rap superstar-turned-thespian.

I do not understand the artwork or whatever Jamie painted on himself. He would have looked better without it. And doesn't Ludacris look like R&B newcomer Raheem DaVaughn in those pics.

Ciara News

Before the year is out, Ciara says she’ll return to the studio to begin work on a follow-up to her 2004 Jive debut, 'Goodies.'

he singer is also booked to work 11 dates of Gwen Stefani’s Harajuku Lovers 2005 tour in December, and has just wrapped her first starring role in MTV Films' 'Rumble,' due out in early 2006.

The film, co-starring Adrienne Bailon of 3LW and Marques Houston, is a coming-of-age story about high school volleyball players. Ciara plays a 16-year-old student whose dad plays professional basketball.

"He never comes to any of her volleyball games to support her, so you can kind of see her go through the emotions of that and try to figure out what she wants to do with her life," she says. "Acting is something I always wanted to do, so of course when the opportunity presented itself, I said this is a chance for me to get started."


Okay, Ci, Ci! Come on now! You should have been back in the studio. I love all her singles, but how many times was I gonna was her "1, 2 step" her "Goodies"? I can't wait to see what she comes out with next.


That's it for now folks! :
