Gabby cleared the air Thursday at the Bongos Cuban Café SuperBowl kick off party:
I’m linked to a lot of people. It’d be great to be dating Derek Jeter. As far as fake relationships go, I’m moving up.
Trust me, if I were dating Derek, I would hold my own personal press conference to announce it to the world. I’m actually getting a little nervous about when our fake breakup is coming.
Why is this important you ask? Well if she was all up on Derek in the Bahamas, than that must mean that FINE-ASS Darren Sharper is single. So ladies, you better get your game faces on!
IN RELATED NEWS, Gabrielle Union is heading back to TV. As we told you last year, Gabrielle signed a six-figure deal with ABC and Touchstone to develop new shows for the station and it seems their first venture will be “Football Wives”, a remake of a popular BBC show “Footballers Wives”. She will not only produce the show, but is scheduled to star in it as well.
Also, look out for Gabby in Tyler Perry’s new movie, Daddy’s Little Girls, when it hits theaters February 14th!
Melisus i see that you back at it with the hating. I happen to think Gabrielle is a pretty good actress. Shes no Angela, but shes in the same league with Halle. She needs to do a more serious role.
@59
Did you see the last movie Tyler Perry did? That movie was garbage.
#62 If you talking about Madea’s Family Reunion, that movie was very good. It was not garbage. You must don’t like Tyler Perry.
62. Shut the fuck up. Have u ever done a movie. Take ur ghetto ass back to Compton.
@61, yeah i agree. she’s in the same league as halle but halle gets good roles (minus catwoman) and union is overlooked. her ppl need to get on that pronto
#65…..Gabby’s “people” can’t magically make Gabrielle a bigger star than Halle. That has to do with how the public perceives an actor and it is proved through how the public goes out and supports your films.
I saw Gabriel Union at Bongos on Thursday night right after the club and she is way more beautiful in person.
First of all how is her dating Derek Jeter a interacial relationship? I could swear that his father is black and his mother is white…HELLO!!!! And all the hate on the movies she does is just stupid. If you have a problem with her movies you need to take that shit up with Hollywood! And for those of you who don’t care…ummm you must care because u posting about her!! And if you want to act and be famous get out there don’t hate just do better !!
Oh Cali, please!
Most of the people here who said they didn’t like her acting admired her looks and her personality. No one downed her or her success. Does one really have to worship a celebrity? Get real.
Secondly, derek most likely doesn’t consider himself a black man. he seems closer to identifying with WHITE.
have you seen that guy’s “dates”? Does any one of them strike you as black? Black like Melinda Williams? NEVER.
Just b/c he has a few drops of black blood doesn’t mean we have to claim him as fully black.
And Fuck Tiger too.
Julia roberts and Halle are 2 other actresses I cannot stomach. Thandie Newton is underrated to me.
@63 & 64
No I have not been in a movie and neither have your asses. If y’all lonely asses knew anything about good movies you would know that that movie was GARBAGE, Tyler Perry is better at plays than movies. You want a good movie go see “Dreamgirls” or “The Pursuit of Happyness.” Now please take y’all dumb asses on someplace with this shit. No one gives a fuck about Gabrielle Union.
I thought I was the only one who thought Gabrielle plays the same tired role. The somewhat girl-next-door with an attitude is what she always plays- very boring and typecast. I am not really interested to see Daddy’s Little girls if she is in it. Sorry don’t want to be bored again. Maybe I’ll see it one day on dvd
^^^^^^^but that does not mean that she could be a nice person.
Derek Jeter did date Mariah Carey before.
@73– Is ^^^ in reference to my post or the one directly above yours?
Im taking its in reference to my post….
I don’t consider Mariah Black. She is Biracial. Again, just b/c she has a few drops of Black doesn’t mean she is. Sorry. That’s the one drop racist rule AA follow blindly.
I am proud of Ms. Union. She is doing big things and I wish her success.
@74
It was to mine. Sorry you got there quicker.
#75 Natural Mystic,
i thought Mariah Carey was white when I first saw her in Vision of Love.
i didnt realize until a few years later that she was black.
i think that black people need to stop trying to exclude other people from being apart of the race.
if a person has a black parent and they choose to identify themselves as black, who are we to protest?
if she had denied in interviews that she was black, we would have gone OFF about how she’s trying to pass.
here you are, excluding her based on skin color or upbringing or whatever reason, you’re using, contrary to what she says, to say that she’s not black.
enough is enough

No you don’t have to worship a celebrity but you don’t have to make ridiculous judgements about them either that are based on nothing. And being half Black is more than a few drops have you ever seen his father??? He is a Black man (like the Rock’s dad) so regardless of how you think he considers himself, him dating Gabby is not an interacial relationship period! And so what he likes White women…does that make him less Black? If thats the case then we need to take up a list of all the Black men that we need to add…And yes phuck Tiger Woods he would never be seen close to a Black women so I guess he and Derek are very different. And again this women is taking work like many other actresses would if they had the opportuntiy if you have a problem with her movies then take that up with Hollywood who only seems to want Halle Berry looking women.
Woooooow I never knew hoes was on Darren like that. Go head pimpin. But he ain’t f***ed (can you curse on here? my first time)with G Union for a long time. Was never serious like THAT anyway. Damn. People be blowing s*** all outta proportion.
Calmsensual, said: “She just does the same thing in every movie.”
I agree with that statement, but in Bad Boys II she stepped outside her usual zone. I think she did a pretty good job. ***She drove the hell out of that truck****
Natural Mystic
I was told during my prenatal classes for my son that with a biracial child, what the father is determines the race of the child because it is the fathers blood that the child carries and not the mothers. The child would carry DNA from both parents but the child carries only the fathers blood type. That’s why if a child ever needed a blood transfusion it would be best to get it from the father or biological siblings.
DON’T TAKE WHAT I’M SAYING AS DEFINATE TRUTH. I haven’t done that much research on it but I was surprised to be told that.
*************************************
My hubby says I look like Gabby and he’s always had a crush on her. I think he’s being too generous…I wish I looked that good!:)
#75……CALM YO ASS DOWN
Mariah and Derek are black…oh, and one drop does make you black! I’m mixed and light just like both of them and guess what…..my ass is STILL black.
Ummmmm #82…..that’s not correct. I have heard that theory though many many times.
Sure, your son is going to be a black man, but he’d be a black man if you happened to be a black woman and the child’s father was white….which was the scenario through out history. For the most part, our blood is mixed as blacks in America because a white man was dipping his wick in chocolate.
hell ill take deren and derek! they both fine as hell! aint THAT the facts of life!
~N@ughty
#82, Shannon, I’ve heard something similar to this before. bery interesting…
#83, How bout if I reply to you like this, “Shut yo ass up”!
Like that better? Where the fuck do you come off injecting your dumb ass into an a and b exchange. Go read a fuckin history book, or since your on the computer, google the “one drop rule”. You are biracial, no matter how black you think you are. Sorry to dissapoint, but I’m not gonna waver in opinion just b/c some ppl don’t agree w/ me. Never have, and NEVER will.
#79, this is a GOSSIP BLOB. Ppl are gonna criticize and make outlandish statements here. Don’t be so sensitive. Personally, I have NOTHING negative to say about Ms. Union.
Regarding the biracial stuff, like I told someone above me, read your history.
If you’re gonna utilize a computer to visit a gossip blog, do a bit of research and absorb shyt that’s useful between posts at least.
of course, I meant BLOG!!!!!
Oh, and #78.
Who said I was excluding Mariah from the AA race b/c of her skin complexion? Why even bring that up– you’re going in a different direction.
WHO SAID THAT? I sure didn’t. I don’t have that “power”.
I do consider her to be biracial.
… additionally, I wouldn’t give a flying mother-fuck if she denied being black her damn self.
That’s what’s wrong with black ppl–we’re so quick to embrace anyone who proclaims to be black, then put them on a fuckin pedestal, and at the same time down our brothers and sisters who are not visibly of mixed race.
(Those that resemble AFRICANS)
Look at the heat some ppl keep giving Fantasia, Venus and Serena or Alek.
Give me a fukkin break.

Well if this is a GOSSIP blog then I can respond to commets I think are retarded. And I believe it was you who said that being half Black wasn’t really Black…so I think it would do you justice to do a little biological research to add somthing “useful” to the post. And if you weren’t criticizing her movies then most of my previous post wasn’t for you. Oh and it’s not called being sensative, it’s called adding some common sense to the GOSSIP BLOG.
NEWS FLASH! DARREN & GABBY HAVE NOT BEEN AN ITEM FOR THE LONGEST WHILE!
I’ve been trying to get the scoop on WHY Gabby and Darren have not been seen together since the last round of party photos following the Kentucky Derby LAST YEAR …. It was a very silent break-up and I’m curious to know WHY … things that make you say “hmmmmmmmm.”
I didn’t get to read through all the posts just yet, so if I repeat what’s already been said… sorry. First of all, to me the title “Footballer’s Wives” sounds stupid, 1 dimensional, and uncreative. Gee, I wonder what it’s about. See, it’s stupid. American television already has a show called The Game which is horrible beyond belief. I swear, if it weren’t for those laugh tracks, you could hear crickets chirping and people coughing. I like Gabby and all, but… I on’t know bout dis. I wish her well regardless. And for the love of Pete Rose, Gabrielle, leave those ballers alone… DAMN!
THAT GUY DARREN LOOK REALLY GOOD DAMN!
Natural Mystic…
Please run for President, please?
#71 LOOK you Compton ass Bitch, Why don’t you shut the FUCK UP! You the one that don’t know about good movies. Like I Fucking said Madea’s Family Renion was a GOOD movie. And I did see Dreamsgirls and the Pursit of Happiness, I even went to the damn premier. So don’t get me started OK! I’m going to be over at my MAN’S house, something you don’t and never will have. So why don’t you take your lonely, ghetto ass back to compton and stop hating and shut the fuck Up! Got IT?
Listen you #89, now you’re twisting my words, so if you wanna respond to shyt you feel is “retarded”, then I will treat you as such. Since you have a reading impediment,AGAIN:
I NEVER SAID MARIAH WASN’T BLACK, I SAID SHE ISN’T FULLY BLACK, SHE IS BIRACIAL. Get over it. That is the truth.
Why does that bother you so much? seriously..
..and if you think what your spewing outta your lip is “common sense”, then I’d hate to know what you sound like when you arent trying so hard to PLAY smart.
Compton Chick I must agree wit chu I was thinking the same thing. He (Darren Sharper) is just too good looking to the point where he looks pretty espeacially in that photo. But he and Gabby do make a nice couple…whatever happened wit those two?
Diamond Princess you out cold, but you the shit though. I like you. and Gabrille is a damn good actress.
There’s that sexy Darren! Alright, if someone finds out why they broke up so quietly, let us know! We wanna know the dirt!
Gabby is said to be a genuine, nice person. I’m glad she’s found a new gig!
Hopefully, 2007 will be a year of good BLACK movies!
Why is dating his gay ass a big deal anyways?? Wasn’t he just fucking Jessica Biel’s big booty ass?? UGH @ famous people and their bed hopping!
Darren Sharper: fine . . .sexy . . .chocolate. I’d let him tap dat!
#86….You need to do YOUR history. Black is black…don’t even get me started. Nobody cares enough about you to want to change your opinion…please believe though, you can’t tell someone else their own experience. I am also a biracial black person…..that label doesn’t mean shit because you are black.
I”m with Denise….CALM YO ASS DOWN. Go take your damn meds please.
@ #100, does your man “deuce” know that? LMAO!!!
No, he doesn’t? Maybe he should..*picking up phone to call him*
I say more power to Gabrielle. Get that money girl!
Oh, and I’d venture out to say that you’re dark skinned and always got less play than the lightskinned girls…I know I”m right.
Bitterness will kill you!
#101, amber, you’re a really dumb bitch. now you come on here telling me to “DO” my history?
I don’t give a fuck what race you are–you’re fuckin disillusioned.
I’m not gonna waste my time trying to find educational or historical shit about the one drop rule, and how it was implemented by whites yadda yadda just b/c you’re a fukkin stupid flake. It’s funny only the bi-racial ones come out to protest what i said, which was NOTHING to degrade you all, but now you feel threatened.
Suck my left TIT and kiss my African American ASS!
And to add to your unrelenting IGNORANCE, you go on to guess that I’m of darker skintone and was rejected blah blah–that just goes to show your slave-mentality thought process. You will forever be chained by your stupidity, you fuckin house nigger. Now go tell your white trash mama THAT!
Darren is fine and Derek is fine. Im not mad at Gabby. Its a shame she cant have a one night stand without everybody hearing about it. One reason why being a celebrity sucks.
I will never understand why people assume that Derek thinks he is white. Is it because he is really light? Is it because he plays baseball? I live in Tampa where the Yankees have their pre season workouts, and where Derek lives in the off-season. I see him ALL the time. I have seen him on dates or just out chilling with a female. The women were always light-skinned black girls, mixed like him, or of latin origin. Now on the other hand, if I saw him and his boys in like a club, the white girls were swarming him like bees around a beehive, lol. I will never understand why people think he is like Tiger. From what I have seen with my own eyes, he is the exact opposite of Tiger. Derek is a biracial person who embraces both parts of his culture, aint nothing wrong with that. Whereas Tiger has a self hatred and tries to deny his black heritage as much as he can. Oh yeah, majority of his friends are black or hispanic also.

NO NEED TO GET UPSET WE’VE ALL BEEN CAUGHT EATING OUR WORDS. AND WE WERE ON DEREK JETER AND THIS SUPPOSEDLY INTER-RACIAL RELATIONSHIP HE WAS HAVING WITH GABBY, AND THE FACT THAT YOU CONSIDERED HIM WHITE AND NOT BIRACIAL BECAUSE OF HIS DEALINGS WITH WHITE WOMEN. MARIAH WAS NEVER IN MY COMMENTS SO I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT? THAT WAS MY ISSUE WITH YOUR COMMENTS OKAY…SO WHO HAS THE READING IMPEDIMENT HERE. AND YES I CARE… YOU DO TOO SINCE YOU ARE HERE AS WELL. (P.S. MY CAPS ARE NOT YELLING)
Okay (**takes deep, utter;y frastred breath**)
Whose eating their words? NOT Natural Mystic. Here’s what I said INITIALLY about DEREK:
“Secondly, derek most likely doesn’t consider himself a black man. he seems closer to identifying with WHITE.
have you seen that guy’s “dates”? Does any one of them strike you as black? Black like Melinda Williams? NEVER.
Just b/c he has a few drops of black blood doesn’t mean we have to claim him as fully black.”
**********
I gave my OPINION on DEREK, and said we don’t have to claim him as black. HE IS BIRACIAL.
WHAT is the problem with that?
I gave an OPINION then stated a fact (his ethnicity), AND
in the middle I speculated on his choice of women. That is called SPECULATION and GOSSIP, as this is a GOSSIP site. get it?
*frustrated breath*
Natural Mystic, I am curious as to why you think he identifies most with being white. Is it what you have heard? Derek is the star of the Yankees, of course the white media is going to try and paint a fake image of a person that they want him to be and quite frankly, he has given in to the image that they want him to have. I have seen Derek on numerous occasions and it caught me off guard just seeing the difference in his behavior when the cameras were not on him. He even talked differently.
Hey Regina,
I’m a bit surprised that I caused a stir with some of these other CL’ers by simply putting out my blunt opinions and thoughts…
Anyhoo, thanks for not attacking and simply asking a question.
Personally I’ve never met Derek and have never heard anything negative about him. I’m from NYC, but not a yankee fan etc.
He simply just strikes me as the type of guy that identifies more with whites. I’m probably 100% wrong–its just my opinion. So for all you other chicks that caught a TITTY attack, relax and stop letting ppls words sting you.
