IN THE ROUND-UP: BRANDY GETS AXED | FANTASIA CAN READ

AMERICA NO LONGER HAS BRANDY


8111109mcatasney249200791608PM.jpg Looks like Brandy is currently out of a job:

TMZ has learned that Brandy has been replaced by Sharon Osbourne as a judge on the upcoming season of “America’s Got Talent.”

While rumors have swirled that Osbourne was in talks with NBC, a well-placed source tells TMZ that the embattled R&B star is officially out — and the rock and roll chatter queen is in. There was wide speculation over Brandy’s role on the talent show following her involvement in a December freeway crash that claimed a woman’s life. The City Attorney has yet to file charges against the “Moesha” star.

No word on if Brandy left the show willingly or if she was fired (which would really suck). Too bad I never really watched the show, I was just happy to see Brandy back on the scene for a minute. Will her career come on back on track after this tragic accident and her goofy brother’s video leaks?

FOR THE RECORD: ‘I’M THE BOMB NOW!’


12367339492007112906PM.jpg Fantasia set the record straight recently in an interview with the NY Post about the rumors concerning her “learning disabilities”:

“I dropped out of school in the ninth grade, and when I said I had trouble reading, they took it that I couldn’t read at all,” she says. “I knew the basics, but some words that were unfamiliar, I couldn’t figure them out.” However, the “brand-new” Fantasia wants the world to know this: “I’m da bomb now, babe!”

So everyone can quit with the ‘Fantasia is slow’ jokes, they’ve been old for a while now – especially seeing as how she snagged the lead role in ‘The Color Purple’. Tasia can’t be to dumb to turn down a $6.5 million dollar role – making big moves girl.

  6. BLINDTOTHEFACT

    Brandy will get over this just like she has always!!!Fantasia is doing her thing she knows you dont have to be seen every single day to make money !!! I am so happy for her because she is a true winner she didnt have a gold spoon in her mouth she had to work twice as hard to be on top.

  7. Robs the name

    WOW! FANTASIA DOES LOOK LIKE A GOLDEN GODDESS..BRANDY WTF THAT WIG YOU GOT ON,YOUR SITUATION… DAMN SHAME IM SORRY 4 YA.. AND DONT NOBODY WANNA SEE SHARON OLD ASS ON TV AT LEAST NOT ME..I DIDNT WATCH THAT WEAK SHIT NO WAY

  8. RC

    Wow, I guess Fantasia is prettier than Brandy. I never really thought of Fantasia looking better than anyone, but DAMNNN! Moesha is busted. Looking like a cracked out Alfre Woodard. Imma pray for her tho. Between this, the accident and her skank ass brother I know she’s sedated somewhere.

  9. Robs the name

    OH YEAH..THAT FUCKIN “CHILI BOWL” WIG HAS GOT 2 GO SNATCH THAT SHIT OFF

  10. GODSCHILD504

    GO FANTASIA, GO

  11. GODSCHILD504

    I WILL KEEP BRANDY IN MY PRAYERS, ALWAYS REMEMBER, “THAT IS WHY THEY ARE CALLED ACCIDENTS”

  12. Shana203

    chilli bowl wig, Lmaoooooo. poor brandy *sighs*

  13. pretteyeyez

    Good for Tasia. Everybody needs an education!

  14. Shanna

    Do ya thang Fantasia. They can make jokes about you not being able to read but they damn sure can’t say you ain’t getting paid.

    Brandy I’m going to pray for you and that wig girl.

  15. Quart

    Sorry for Brandy, but it would have been suspect to see someone under the gun for vehicular homicide (or whatever) focusing on something so frivilous as a tv show. In the grand scheme of things, she needs this time to concentrate on getting through a possible crminal/civil suit.

  16. Mz.Washington

    I think Fantasia is such a WONDERFUL role model for women today not 2 give up your dreams just cuz people doubt u & 2 think idol asked her 2 quit!! U go girl get that money!!! She is talented the girl can sing!

  17. Dear Brandy: sorry about the whole accident drama but LET THAT WIG GO ASAP~ Luv MissEnvied~

  18. LuLu

    # 13 said–chilli bowl wig,— LMAO oh that has to be the funniest shit ever.lol
    Brandy looks like she just came off the short bus in that pic.. I mean with the hand on her chest and all. I am sure there are better pics of this alien out there.
    -Congrats to Fantasia.

  19. Black and Proud

    Love Fantasia.

    Brandy’s hair is awful,I mean the hair she markets,sheds like crazy!I’m like damn cheap ass shit!

    And yes its a LACE FRONT!Get over it LOL.I don’t get it if she wants to wear it let her.A lot of women do it.Do you Bee.Every time CL post about Beyonce’ I just know someone got to say something about her wearing a wig, who cares.

    Over 200 by tomorrow, we know how these things go.

  20. Black and Proud

    ^^^Oops last post was the wrong post but yall get the point.

  21. UHH..BRANDY SHOULD BE ON THE WEBSITE ”WWW.HOTGHETTOMESS.COM”..SHE’S FIT FOR IT.

    BUT EVERYBODY KNOWS FANTASIA KNOWS HOW TO READ NOW.I KNEW THAT SINCE LAST YEAR.

  22. The One

    I fell in love with Fantasia since she was on AI. I knew for awhile now that she could read but ppl kept making jokes about her out of ignorance. While they running their mouth, she’s signing checks. Yo go girl!

  23. The One

    Oh yeah. And she is absolutely gorgeous on that pic!

    ^^^I am in tears right now…..#1 because that comment was soooo funny, and #2…because it is totally on point. Sad but true.

  26. mena

    I hope Brandy can get it together and distance herself from Ray J’s mess..

    Fantasia.. sorry, I still think she is a hoodrat that sounds like an alley cat being skinned alive!!

  27. Poor Brandy…this is really not her year. I pray things look up for her…

    “The Color Purple” is a fabulous play…I just saw it this past weekend and the girl who played Celie was absolutely fantastic!!! I know Fantasia will most definitely do the damn thing though…she is so down-to-earth and emotional, remember all those times she cried on “American Idol”?

    Fantasia will be great…I hope she blows everyone out of the water for sure!

  28. 12:41

    tasia looks nice

    neva mind whoever mena is, smh
    neva got nothing good to say

    Brandy is just getting old, giver her a break shes almost 30!

  29. I hope everything works out for Brandy I still adore her. Fantasia is doing big things you go girl…

  30. I SEE NOW WHY CELEBRITIES OR RICH PEEPS R DROPPIN DEAD LIKE FLIES AND CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEMS IN THEIR LIVES ON A DAILY BASIS, THEY’RE SO DAYUM EVIL. WHY WOULD THEY AXE THAT GIRL FOR SOMETHING SHE HAD NO CONTROL OVA OR DIDN’T DO ON PURPOSE? THAT’S WHITE FOLKS FOR YA, U CAN’T TRUST THEM AND U CAN’T TRUST UR OWN, JUST A NO WIN SITUATION. I LUV FANTASIA, DO UR THANG GIRL, I CAN’T BELIEVE ANYONE WAS CALLING FANNY SLOW, WE KNOW AND I KNOW TOO AS A RACE OF PEEPS THAT OUR BLACK CHILDREN IS NOT THAT GREAT WHEN IT COMES TO READING,MATH,ENGLISH…………….MOST IMPORTANT SUBJECTS THERE R.

  31. “I’m da bomb now, babe!”

    Spoken like a true person with a ninth grade reading level. That’s okay though b/c I still like her.

  32. Kennedi

    Now I KNOW yall had a better pic of Brandy than THAT…!!!!

  33. Asentha

    Ugh, Brandy looks jacked up!

    Glad Fantasia can read. Now she just needs to invest in a good bra and a makeover.

  34. sxycarmel26

    Did Brandy know that her picture was being taken?

  35. ROB SMITH

    I LOVE BRANDY. I THINK SHE IS INCREDIBLY TALENTED, BEAUTIFUL AND THATS SHES GOING THROUGH A ROUGH PERIOD IN HER LIFE. ITS FUNNY WHEN SHE WAS SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE WERE PRAISING HER, BUT BOW THAT SHE IS HAVING A BAD TIME PEOPLE CANT EVEN GIVE WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT IBSTEAD TALKING ABT HER WIG. YOU NEVER KNOW WHERE YOU WILL END UP IN LIFE WATCH WHAT YOU SAY.

  36. oatsuzn

    She can’t even spell bomb. She probably spells it ‘bom’. LOL

  37. Brandy, I love you! God will bless you and guide you.
    Yay! Tasia can read! No more “Hooked On Phonics”! Can’t wait to see her in more movies.

  38. CARAMEL 2

    Good for her.. I’m glad that she has moved past that and proclaimed her role in the Color Purple. I know so many people that want to see it knowing that she is going to be in it. Let the haters hate…..

  39. FyreStarrter

    #29 “almost 30″ Are you serious?? Sweetie 30 is not even CLOSE TO OLD so WTF ever (& for the record yes I am 30 & NO I do NOT look even close to my age but still..) Brandy looks tired because MENTALLY SHE IS TORE THE F- UP! Here these people are talking about SUING her for $50 million for something that TRULY was NOT her fault. AND she has to contend with the guilt from the woman that DIED as a result of the accident. It’s NOT your fault sweetie, you need to LET GO & LET GOD handle it.

    Tasia I LOVE YOU SWEETIE! I am so proud of you, you just grow stronger, more intelligent, & more bold everyday. Remember what those none-singing skanks told Patti Labelle back in the day about HER POWERFUL PIPES. Now look at THEM(that if you can FIND any of them) & look at HER. Do your thing Tasia, I am flying to NYC to see YOU in May on the Color Purple. Cannot Wait!!!

    Bill Said:

    For Real…Why did y’all have to post the WORST picture of Brandy I have EVER seen ????

    Poor Brandy…I hope she holds her head up.

    I’m happy for Fantasia.

    It shows strength & fortittude for a person of her age to admit that their is a issue, and then go about solving that issue….

  41. nitt

    Fantasia is beautiful inside and out I am very happy
    for her and hope they bring the musical Color purple
    to the big screem starring Fantasia. I will keep Fantasia and Brandy in my prayer. So to both keep your
    head up to where your help come from and we know who that is God.

  42. WHY DOES BRANDY LOOK LIKE K-CI IN THAT PIC AND I LIKE BRANDY BUT DONT FEEL BAD FOR HER IF SHE HAD HER ASS IN THE STUDIO SHE WOULDNT HAVE TIME FOR NO DAMN WACK ASS SHOW LIKE THIS ONE…

  43. BAM BAM

    Brandy makes me wanna cry, for real. All I see is pain in her face. I really hope she bounces back from all this.

  44. BAM BAM aka I understanding these words now

    Pencils down, biotches! Fantasia will now commence to read the shyt out of you!

  45. truthmasters

    I love the fact that you posted the worst picture of Brandy on Earth. That is saying a lot becasue she has taken some horrible photos. That wig and heroine addiction have got to go.

    People, yes the accident was an accicident. However, you have to pay for your mistakes- not to the tune of 50 million though. The fact remains, negligence does not get you a get-off-free card.

  46. truthmasters

    I am not a fan of Bama Fanny Mae (or her fried neckbones in lard), but people need to leave her alone about any potential learning disabilities. Unless you are a supporter or advocate for folks with challenges, you need to fall back. That is a unique struggle and more often than not misunderstood- especially when it comes to Black children.

  47. heartBREAKER

    Poor Brandy, that pic of her is horrible. I know she’ll pull through everything though in the end. Tasia better WORK, make that money girl.

  48. Keep ya head up Brandy! Leave that Kaballah alone and turn to Jesus mama, you need him now more than ever.

    Nice pic of Fantasia.

  49. H-Town Chic***

    THOUGH BRANDY IS LOOKING A HAM IN THIS PIC. I’LL CONTINUE TO KEEP HER IN MY PRAYERS.

  50. theboyabouttown

    At 49, I think she probably needs a good driving school and stellar lawyer now more than ever- not so much Jesus.

    How you gon’ say people need to leave her alone and you just said that?!!? Hypocrite!

  52. jscene

    Brandy, dont worry girl..you were on a sinking ship anyhow…nobody watching that crap show! Good thing you got away cause that ship was sinking. Be grateful you got outta that contract. Now off to bigger and more fantastic things for you.

    This is quite honestly the best picture fantasia has ever taken. I don’t know why people blew that out of proportion anyway. I understood she didn’t mean she couldn’t read, but that she wasn’t where she should be with reading. Boy the media, them dang blasted bastards, can really blow up things.

  53. Ti

    WOW that picture of Brandy is TAXED… WHY?

  54. Oh Please!

    Girl please! You ALWAYS got something negative to say about how someone looks when you look like somebody done had ahold of your face with an ugly stick. You need to be more sympathetic in your case because you surely can relate.

  55. Angie

    they’re both ugly…NEXT!

  56. yea, that’s a bad pic of Brandy. she looks crackish in that pic. (Keep your head up Ms. B)

    There’s something about Fantasia i love. You do your thang girl.

  57. brandysMAN4life

  58. MelYG

    I agree with 33. Brandy is having enough problems without you all just picking the ugliest picture of her in existence. How unfortunate.

  59. BRANDY REMINDS ME OF NEW YORK.(SIMILAR MUPPET FEATURES)
