LISARAYE TO QUIT ACTING?

lisaraye_hair.jpgWord is LisaRaye is going to quick acting because she married off well, and doesn’t have to work anymore. STREETROACHPICS reports that she is plans to start up a ponytail hair-line along with a production company.

The 39 year-old wife of Honorable Michael Misick (chief minister of the Turks and Ciacos Islands), reportedly said since she has a leadership role in her community she may not have time for her acting career.

In related news, SUPACINDYONLINE said the ladies of Turks & Caico don’t have any love for Mrs. Misick.

I had the pleasure and honor of being asked to host the celebration concert for Premier minister Missick of the Turk and Caicos known in the U.S. for taking Lisa Raye out of the poverty line by marrying her! hee hee. The island of Turks has alot of money and the rich of the island are really really rich!! As I was sitting through the ceremony of promoting Dr Missick from Chief Minister to Premier Minister I noticed something, that the people of Turks ESPECIALLY the women DO NOT LIKE their First Lady Lisa Raye. When it was time to applause for her the applause was weak! [SOURCE]

Well you know they are gonna hate, she stole their potential spot. LMAO!

DALLAS TALKS DUBAI DRAMA

dallas.jpg Dallas Austin recently talked to EURWEB about that whole “i got caught with cocaine in Dubai” thing. He didn’t give any major details, but that was expected.

It was blown way more out of proportion than what it really was. I wasn’t in prison, it was nothing like that. Knowing that I was gonna leave this place, I had one of the best experiences I could ever have.

Austin said he was worried about what all these so-called false press accounts were doing to his worried mama back home in the States.

I left a message for her that said, ‘Don’t listen to the press. You’re gonna start hearing stuff, that’s not what happened,’” he said.

When asked what really happened, the producer said he would talk about it later because it would take some time to explain. Yeah, your ass was in prison!

USHER STARTS ON BROADWAY TONIGHT

usher_broad.jpg

Usher will make his Broadway debut tonight in the Tony Award-winning revival of Chicago. He’ll play the role of Billy Flynn for six weeks, before wrapping up performances on October 1. Usher released a statement that said,

“This is a very exciting time in my career. I have always admired Broadway actors for their showmanship; dedication and focus that goes into performing live on stage every night. Being on Broadway allows you to connect to audiences in a whole new way that’s different from music and movies. When they asked me to play Billy Flynn in Chicago, I jumped at the chance to be a part of such an amazing production.”

Anything will be better than that horrid ass movie, In The Mix!!

If I was Lisa..I’d quit too!! She’s the 1st Lady of a country. Who needs acting? PLUS…her acting isn’t that good anyway.

I agree number #1…along with that I knew she was going to get that type of reception from the women over there…if there are any island women ie..jamaicans etc you know exactly what I mean. LisaRaye better enjoy her moment because I just can not see this lasting. I hope it does but I just don’t see it lasting. She better pull out her culture cards on this one.

And as far as Lisa goes… IF it’s true that she still running over here to fuck around THEN it’s not going to last… And she ain’t going to get any money out of it either ;-)

Shoot I would not worry about acting esp. since you have to do a LOT of traveling. I heard supa dup talking about that on 99 jamz recently.

Dallas looks TOOOO much like my ex boyfriend.

I agree that In the mix SUCKED!!! I cannot believe that I spent my money on that crap.

Wait a minute. I take that back. When did LisaRaye ever START acting?

12.

What a pretty pic of Lisa Raye…so what are the rules over there should the marriage not work out (i.e. alimony, 50/50)? Or does he make the rules since he is Prime Minister???, lol.

Her new position does sound like a handful though, especially concerning the alleged responces she’s getting from the women over there. She appears to be a strong girl though, she’ll make it as long as dude don’t start trippin, too.

Hey Usher boo…my ring finger still awaits a present from you……

13.

thank god lisa raye is quiting acting. maybe now they’ll replace that awful “all of us” with “half & half” which is a MUCH better show.

14.

Lisa Raye ain’t worried about acting NOW! She’s just another overrated Gold digger, nothing new.

15.

MissTee2U

Tuesday, August 22, 2006 /

Anyone who knows anything about television knows that that check is very, very good. So Lisa Raye is hardly a gold-digger. If shows last long enough to go into syndication, then they really win financially. For example, the “Girlfriends” cast apparently took a pay cut to go to the CW,(according to Tracee Ross in “Vibe Vixen”) but they were already making high six figures. TV stars make the best, most stable money in the entertainment business.
So I’m sure a sistah is fine on her own. So why not hook up with a handsome rich man who runs a beautiful island if that’s what you can pull? More power to her.

16.

It’s nice to see Black women being able to live like and be a queen.

We’ve been working our asses off since our ancestors arrived in this country. Good for her!!

cosign with 15 and 16.

I highly doubt that LisaRaye wasn’t getting paid well on TV. She is probably loaded with money, and now she has even more! Maybe the women on the island have a problem with American women taking one of their most elgible bachelors and living like a queen lol

Dallas, stfu. He knows he got arrested for blow. He’s just beating around bush. If he was going to come out with this bullshit, he just should have just kept his mouth shut. He is further incriminating himself.

I know Usher will make a great Billy Flynn. I LOVE Chicago, and I know Usher will do the part justice.

20.

Chellybop

Tuesday, August 22, 2006 /

Lisa Raye is still gonna be rolling in dough, with or without the acting. She’s married to the HNIC of Turks & Caicos.
@ Dallas…I still wonder if it was a gift for Naomi or his own personal stash, LOL
Maybe when Usher’s stint on Broadway is done he’ll be making a new CD, let’s just hope it takes him longer than 2 weeks to record it.

@ #4

All Caribbean people are not the damn same. Everybody ain’t damn Jamaican.

Ok moving right along them chicks in TI (Turks and Caicos) don’t like her cause they judge her based on her being half naked all the time(which I have no problem with). They are a bit uppity cause they are a rather wealthy TINY country so they don’t want it to seem they NEED Lisa Raye to make money out there. THey all make BANK out there when I say big money I mean BIG MONEY for regular jobs and remember ain’t no taxes like America. Their property values are ridiculous I got a friend out there got 2 pieces of beach front property worth 2.5 mil. 10 years ago before it became the hotspot it wasn’t worth even 250 grand. 2 cents.

Only thing is they ain’t got shit to do with all that money so they gossip!

24.

Megan

Tuesday, August 22, 2006 /

She just hooked up with a man beyond her level. It’s hard for women with money finding a men on or beyond their level.

Look at Vivica and that 6′9 boy she used to be married to. He wasn’t doing anything but living off of her. No woman, no matter how much money she makes, wants a man like that.

25.

kay

Tuesday, August 22, 2006 /

Is that why the women in turks and caicos dislike her because of the way she dresses? Please someone/anyone explain this to me…..

BOSS_H

Tuesday, August 22, 2006 /

Okay so they say he married beneath him by marrying a woman who’s half naked all over the web, and played a stripper in a movie. AND ISN”T FROM THERE. AWWW damn I don’t know why women are jealous, I think it’s cause it ain’t one of them. Cause they feel like they rich and what not he shoulda married one of them.
I feel like I’m a marry a woman I love I don’t care where she’s from. But I ain’t gone let the people from my country decide it for me and I’m a have a lot of shit to say if they give her that kinda reception but, I think she can win them over. Cause really what are they judging her off of? They don’t even know the woman.

29.

akamissj

Tuesday, August 22, 2006 /

I don’t blame LisaRaye. If I found a man who could take of me like he’s taking care of her (meaning, he was in a position where we never have to worry about money, ever), I’d quit my job, too! I don’t think that’s being a gold digger, that’s just taking it back old school where the man is the only one making the money, and if both people are cool with that type of situation I see no problem with that at all.

30.

ms_mac1

Tuesday, August 22, 2006 /

Is that why the women in turks and caicos dislike her because of the way she dresses? Please someone/anyone explain this to me…..

Doubt that. I think it’s probably because he wifed a non-island girl. That shit must sting like a mother. Here you are one of the richest men on your own island, surrounded by your own people and you have to go all the way to America, and to an award show at that, to find a wife? That’s what they’re probably not feeling.

31.

akamissj

Tuesday, August 22, 2006 /

Oh, and as far as the ladies over there not liking LisaRaye, that should come as no surprise. She’s not from there and they probably do just think of her as just some gold digger. But if I was her, I wouldn’t worry over them. That’s just jealousy. Shake the haters off, LisaRaye! LOL!

32.

ms_mac1

@26 - A pony tail hair line is nothing new. She’d just be hopping on a trend.

thanks BOSS_H and stop trying to act like you don’t want makes women jealous :)

34.

caff

Tuesday, August 22, 2006 /

She can’t act for shit. She needs to quit before screws up another sitcom or movie with her horrible acting. I remember she was rapping in Benzino’s video or someone elses. It was some rapper, I forget who. Sit your ass down and play house wife Lisa.

I’d still smash though.

35.

#4 i am west indian (or an island woman as you call it LOL) and i have no idea what you’re talking bout
please explain…

and for those women over there in Turks (if that report is true) hey at least he didnt marry a white woman…or maybe thats WHAT they wanted lol

isnt dallas chille’s sons daddy?
he shouldnt be worried about what his mama gotta say
he should worry about how his sons gonna feel

38.

Mimimumbi

Tuesday, August 22, 2006 /

I THINK THE FACT that she did that movie “Players Club” will affect how the natives at the Turks island respond to her. Even though it was long before he marrige, thats not what people want to see in a first lady. Americans tend to be very liberal where outsiders are a bit more concervative and would frown upon such things. So in response to how the women (people) treat her or think about her, it may be due to such things. Plus she’s an actress, who knows, she may be acting through this marrige for a bit of pocket change. I wouldnt quit my day Job Lisa, nothing is guaranteed. I still think she is a cool chick, BUT give it a few years before you go quiting and watch your back, them natives could be on some bulls**t, LOL (kidding).

she may have a nasty attitude…anyone thought about that?

HUH? #38
you got it wrong hun
americans are way more conservative than most foreigners
do you travel? shyt

also i believe the term is LOCAL
and not “native” as you so eloquently put it
native would be what these wht people call your blk azz in america

42.

BOSS_H

Tuesday, August 22, 2006 /

Seriously I think the Lisa thing is about the role she played in players club. Who wants to see their First Lady on DVD shakin her ass? Damn I think they’d have a riot where I’m from. LOL. Joking. LOL. Wait maybe they would but they couldn’t stop the marriage so it doesn’t matter. But now she’s representing your country and she aint’ even from there, and the world leaders can see all she got to offer at the local block buster. DAMN. Yea thas why the salty

I’m just glad to see two Black folks getting married.

Nix you would be Wrong on this one. Turks and Caicos is CONSERVATIVE damn all the Caribbean is conservative mostly.. What you see happening on the beach is 9/10 not acceptable by the locals.

I’m from and currently live in the Caribbean.

45.

Tuesday, August 22, 2006 /

She’s quitting because her time is up. If he’s that rich, I’m sure there’s a prenup somewhere.

You know Dallas was scared as hell sitting in that prison they don’t play overseas. His message to mama probably went more like him sobbing like a baby “pleeeeese get me outta here”

46.

well, ummm, Lisa can quit acting. It’s not like she’s making waves or anything in Hollywood.

47.

ms_mac1

Tuesday, August 22, 2006 /

@ Nix, you may be right. She may be a complete snob even though she tried to do that luncheon with them. But somehow I get the feeling that some lady over there raised her daughter to believe that one day, if she let her Soul Glow and if she learned to bark like a dog, she would eventually grow up and marry the Prince of Zamunda. Oh shit, wait, I got my countries mixed up. LOL.

48.

boss-h
what carribean island would this be that your from?
ive been to beaches in jamaica where you can bathe topless
true it wasnt the public beaches
but UM how many beaches in america do you know where you can bathe topless? whether public or otherwise

also i believe #38 said “outsiders” are more conservative
he didnt just say carribean people…
not braggin at all but as a person who travels not only the carribean but europe and other places
america is UPTIGHT in comparison

49.

Nix

Tuesday, August 22, 2006 /

@47 thats probably true
but there are alot of wealthy american men who would probably appreciate that soul glo carribean pussy and throw a ring on her hand faster than he would an american
and we really dont know if she really tried to do the luncheon with then do we
because none of us was there and we are basically going by heresay

50.

Mimimumbi

Tuesday, August 22, 2006 /

@ NIX or Number 41, actually YES i do travel, i have lived overseas in Europe and Afirca and Most recently Japan..total of 14 countries SO i think i am well aware of my statement. Also, when you are born in a country, you are its native NOT Local. Local is a similar term BUT native is just as correct and is used more than Local. I am not here to compete at intelligence, those words above #38 are my opinion of how i read into the post above. I personally find other countries (because i have lived there, not visited) to be abit more conservative than Americans. This is my opinion, not urs so dont get all worked up. When you travel if you have, you will have an opinion of your own.

Tuesday, August 22, 2006 /

#42 is so right on World Leaders seeing her shaking her stuff on screen. This is not what you want to see Hilary Clinton or Laura Bush doing, even though so many may not care (the more liberal), some will look down on it (the conservative). I am not hating on LisaRaye, all i am saying is the woman who is co-representing a country should devote herself to whatever she wants BUT Hollywood may come between that. She probably has pressure to drop the acting gig, certain things just arent accepted in other places.

55.

and you cannot compare the first lady of a country with a population of over 285 million to the first lady of an island of probably 500,000 people (not sure of the numbers here it may be less)
people over there and elsewhere for that matter probably dont even know who the fuck lisa raye is
shyt there are people living right here in american who dont know who the fuck she is

Mimimumbi

Tuesday, August 22, 2006 /

NIX, I see this is going to be a back and fourth thing BUT i only have 20 minutes left on my clock, LOL.

Umm, I was using the leadership roles in making my point because to them, Lisa Raye’s position is probably similar to Hil clinton or Laura Bush in rank. I wasnt saying they are the same exact. And becuase she is somewhat in the public eye, certain moves she makes in her acting career could harm this mans position, they are not a communist island, the people do have a voice. I think i’ll have to break everything down in detail so you can understand, and i am not being insulting BUT u are missing the point and digging wayyyy too deep.

62.

Mimimumbi

Tuesday, August 22, 2006 /

I’ll let you have this one Nix, although you seem to be very interested in quoting me, my points are not 100% fact, only because i dont know these people and i am assuming you dont either. Politically, it may be best for Lisa to hold off on her career, NOT saying its right, but she chose her fate when she married this man. As far as her role as his wife, she is expected to be a certain way and live a certain lifestyle, that is something she cannot change and if this post is true, THEN it proves she has accepted her role as his wife and first lady. I wouldnt want to give up a career that i had to do so much for BUT then again, do i want to give up my husband who if their love is real, is a blessing, some of us may never get that! its about compromise and i see she is doing it. Now about him, i cant really comment.

AS FOR NIX, BABES, I HAVE NO FURTHER COMMENTS. I HAVE GIVEN YOU ENOUGHT TO GET MAD AT AND READ INTO. BUT FOR HEAVENS SAKE, THESE ARE MY OPINIONS, ITS NOT THAT SERIOUS. IF IT MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER, U CAN BE RIGHT AND I’LL BE WRONG…HAPPY!

never really considered lisaraye much of an actress anyways. if she sits down, I might kind of be glad. that show she has on UPN right now is awful.

Tuesday, August 22, 2006 /

i don’t blame Lisa Raye for wanting to quit acting. She’s a newlywed and her hubby probably has to stay in T & C for the majority of the year.
i know that if i were just starting a marriage, i wouldn’t wanna be away from my hubby for long periods of time, just becuz i had to go to work…don’t get me wrong, i’m sure she’s making good $$$ as an actress, but I’m sure that now, she really doesn’t need it.
b4 her motivation for acting was so that she could provide a wonderful life for herself and her daughter, but NOW she’s set and doesn’t have to be on the grind so much…

I don’t think Lisa should quit acting. I don’t care how much a man got and how many times he saids he can take care of you, Ain’t nothing like your own money. Not saying she don’t have any but I wouldn’t stop because of him. Nothing last forever.
