BLIND ITEM: EASILY INTIMIDATED SINGER
Tuesday, May 8, 2007
Although she’s a talented singer, she’s easily intimidated by the looks of equally talented singer’s, like Beyonce and Alicia Keys. At award shows and after parties, she gets noticeably quiet in the company of beautiful artists.She also has an air of resentment around attractive women and on occasion, she has been observed sulking in a corner, with a drink in her hand, glaring at pretty women in a jealous manner.
She is extremely insecure about her appearance.
After the success of her last album, she unwisely went on a spending spree. She even hired someone to walk her dog and she became known as someone who threw her “new found” money around foolishly.
Few people know that her most recent album (unlike her last album) fared so poorly that she was damn near in financial ruin until an opportunity rescued her from debt.
NOTE: All blind items are written by Myra Panache or her staff. No, I do not know what the answer is, after all it is called a Blind Item. These items are posted for entertainment reasons. Please contact Myra if you have any questions. Thank you.

WOW, I THOUGHT CONCRETE LOOP WAS A SITE WITH VERY WELL EDUCATED PEOPLE. I WAS SO WRONG. CHRISTINA MILIAN DOESN’T EVEN FIT TO THIS DAMN CLUE. CIARA DOESN’T EVEN FIT TO THIS DAMN CLUE. PEOPLE PLEASE DON’T RESPOND IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT. SINCE WHEN HAVE CHRISTINA SAID ANYTHING NEGATIVE ABOUT ANY OF THOSE FEMALES? SHE LOOKS JUST AS GOOD AS BEYONCE AND ALICA AND THAT IS FOR DAMN SURE.

What’s all this Dark skinned and light skinned talk #145 No one said light skinned was better than darks.
People are saying Fantasia and India Arie because THEY may feel insecure (I mean Fantasia said she was back in highschool) people are only guessing them because SOCIETY makes it seem like LIGHT SKINNED is better and darker skinned sisters with natural MAY feel insecure although they shouldn’t NO ONE said lightskinned was better than darks. I actually think Gabrielle Union has a much prettier face than Beyonce.

#152, i agree… Beyoncee prob wont be as cute even at Kelly’s complexion… what i stated dont apply to everyone… but beauty is beauty…. anyway beyonce has a lot of “help” (makeup, lighing, wigs, etc). Take those things away and while leaving her same complexion, she will probably drop on the scale from a 10 to maybe a 6 or 7.
#154, I was moreso responding to 128. Also, about Gabriell Union, i think she prettier than beyonce too. Although she’s pretty too, B’s a little over-rated in the looks department imo, but thats another topic!

you can’t call someone overrated because beauty is an opinion. i think b is gorgeous. BUT!!! despite the fact that beyonce is very lightskinned already, she’s not really that tan…still beautiful though (IMO)

I agree Without the makeup and the extra weave Beyonce is pretty , but she isn’t Gorgeous IMO.But then again almost every celebrity has extra makeup and lots of weave. Have you seen RIhanna without makeout…anyway Beauty in is the Eye of the beholder.

saying that someone or something is being overrated IS an opinion just like saying someone is beautiful/ugly is an opinion. I think she’s pretty too, (beautiful even) but i think her beauty/style is overrated. Other females that look way better than her dont get nealy as much props/attention/recognition or whatever from the mainstream media.
I remember going to the store to buy some makeup and i came across a makeup display (covergirl?) that had Beyonce plastered on it. She looked good, and at the bottom of her picture, the shade that they said she was wearing was of a dark complection (darker than my cousin, and she’s more of Kelly’s shade). My cousin and i looked a each other and was like “whaaaaa? i didn’t know she was that dark! they must be lighting her up on TV or in Mags, because the shade is def. darker than she appears” either that, or they didn’t list her correct shade at the bottom of her photo.. i dont know.
Anyway… me saying she’s over rated is not saying she isn’t beautiful, she is, but there are more black beauties that outshine her in the looks department (and talent department) that dont get the press for whatever reason. but like i said before… this is just my opinion.

I didn’t know that Fantasia had a dog, LOL, my know I am pretty sure that we would have seen a picture of it. and just because it said she was insecure with herself does not mean that she was dark-skinned, and besides, Fantasia does not DRINK!!!!!

what i dont understand is, why would the blind item imply that hiring someone to walk the dog is being excessive for someone who has money? Dont busy people do that? hire dog walkers? Is that so foolish or wastful? Now if she was buying dogs just to have other people walk them, that would be dumb wastful AND foolish… but simply hiring a dog walker because your schedule is packed… i dont get it..

I just can’t see this being Fantasia. If it is she puts on a hell of a front on tv, because as loud as she is I just can’t see her sitting in the corner for nobody. She got too much personality for that
And even if her last album flopped it hasn’t done bad enough to put her in financal ruin. Didn’t she just come of tours with Kanya nd the Jamie Foxx? Touring is where you make all your money not selling albums.

Im thinking Mary J or Kelis
I know Mary’s recent greatest hits album didnt do that well, but her previous album did very very well
Kelis maybe cos she is doing that relity show now, it kinda relates to the “Few people know that her most recent album (unlike her last album) fared so poorly that she was damn near in financial ruin until an opportunity rescued her from debt.” comment

nope….it’s Toni Braxton!!!!!!
Think about it….she equally talented, but always struggled with her appearance (hence the enhancements…and she’s always been the shortest one of the bunch) and she’s been bakrupt and she just now got some real money flowing in since she hasn’t had a hit album in years. Now she’s doing the gig in Las Vegas (on the whole Celine Dion type of thing) and that’s how she’s making her money….I feel bad for her, because I’ve loved every album she’s ever come out with….

Could it be Rhianna? Sure she’s beautiful, but she may be insecure about her looks. I know a few friends of mine who are GORGEOUS and they are insecure about their looks! The last line about someone “rescuing” her from debt–Rhianna sings “somebody come and rescue me” in the song SOS. Just my guess.

Fantasia aint got no damn dog, LOL!
Jessica Simpson does.
but then again, here’s an excerpt from Angel’s interview with Fantasia :
Angel: So, what is your album cover going to look like?
Fantasia: My album cover? It’s gonna be a black and white picture and I’m painted in all black.
Angel: Yeah we saw that picture, but I didn’t know if that was the official album cover or not.
Fantasia: un huh
Angel: I like it though. You looking fierce, it’s looking like some America’s Next Top Model stuff.
Fantasia: Really? That’s wassup. Girl you just making me excited. I went with that one because there are so many reasons why. There are so many reasons why I wanted that picture. The main reason is because it says that I’m black and beautiful and I don’t care. I’m not that black, even though they painted me with the stuff. [laughs] But it just goes to show that I feel strong and confident and I feel beautiful. Even with this black tar on me, I feel beautiful. With the short hair, I’m still a beautiful girl ’cause so many times they try to make it seem like, if you’re not fair skin with long hair or a certain way..
Angel: ..you’re ugly
Fantasia: Right, So I just wanted to let people know that, hey I’m confident I’m the bomb right now, I’m painted in all this black crap, but that’s ok; I still feel beautiful.
an excerpt from her interview with blackplanet :
BP: You are a refreshing opposite to the look of many R&B singers today. However, do you ever have moments of feeling insecure about your image?
Fantasia: Yeah, in the beginning I did and that’s why I said after my movie I felt like, you know what, this is me. I’m beautiful, I’m different and I don’t have to be like everybody else. After doing my movie and letting go of so many things, being so insecure, it’s like I came out. I’m letting young girls know, you don’t have to be a certain way to be beautiful. You are beautiful, God created everything and He makes us beautiful. I feel like I’m comfortable, this is me, I got my shorthair cut and this is who I am.
BP: I saw you on the cover of Vibe Vixen; you seem to have this new sex appeal. Where did that come from?
Fantasia: This older lady at one time told me when somebody tells you that you’re pretty, you just say thank you. Ever since the movie, even on the movie set, there were so many guys flirting when I go out guys are always flirting and telling me little things. So like I said, I began to look at myself and tell myself that I’m beautiful, sexy and hot. So right now, that’s who I am feeling, hot and sexy
you make the conclusion !!!

I SAY IT’S:
CHRISTINA MILLIAN - HER LAST ALBUM DID POORLY, BUT SECOND ALBUM DID OK W/ “DIP IT LOW” - SHE JUST RECENTLY SIGNED ON TO PLAY ON A TV SHOW ON WB. SHE SEEMS EASILY INTIMIDATED. YOU ALSO OFTEN SEE PICS OF HER SHOPPING ALL OVER THE PLACE.
BRANDY - SHE’S NOT PRETTY AT ALL, HER LAST ALBUM DID POORLY, AND AMERICA’S GOT TALENT RESCUED HER FROM FINANCIAL RUIN.
IT NOT:
ASHANTI - SHE SEEMS VERY CONFIDENT
KELLY ROWLAND - SHE HUNG AROUND BEY ALL HER LIFE.
KEYSHIA COLE - SHE IS NOT EASILY INTIMIDATED AND SHE’S ONLY DROPPED 1 ALBUM AND IT DID WELL.
FANTASIA - SHE CONFORTABLE IN HER SKIN AND HER TALENT AND ONLY DROPPED 1 ALBUM THAT DID OK.
BTW FOR THE PERSON THAT SAID MISS JONES NEVER DROPPED AND ALBUM, SHE RELEASED 2 - 1994 AND 1998.

I’m starting to think Toni Braxton. She’s always had money issues and her last CD debut at #2 I think but then sales dropped. She’s doing shows in Vegas and making pretty good money from what I read. She seems to be insecure which is probably why she is always trying to be naked. That’s my guess.

I believe it’s tasia.
It’s easy to feel insecure about your looks when you are surrounded by others who share similar looks.
I mean, just an example not using black women, if a Koran girl hangs around nothing but white chicks all day, even though she may be attractive, SHE MAY begin to feel like she’s not as pretty. It’s almost like a majority rules thing….don’t feel like elaborating

At 81 RC
I have to co-sign, the post in and of itself is misleading because it senseless.
This statement
“After the success of her last album, she unwisely went on a spending spree”
completely contradicts this statement
“Few people know that her most recent album (unlike her last album) fared so poorly that she was damn near in financial ruin…”
The last statement even contradicts itself.
Fantasia would make sense seeing as how “Color Purple” came along. While Broadway does not pay much, it will keep the lights on.
Fantasia is not ugly- I don’t know you people get that from. She is country though- straight up Ms. Peachez “fried chicken” on “light bread” at a Juneteenth concert.

Everyone is so wrong, the person is Ashanti. On my local radio station, they talked about that during Jay Z’s party he hosted this weekend, she & Nelly arrived together but that she spent the remainder of evening sitting at a table by herself being anti-social. And it has been noted that she is not the most friendly person when around other celebrities. She only opens up to others when having to promote herself. Apparently her short arm keeps her from being friendly.

It’s obvious its Keysha Coles, She always mean mugging and realy can’t say she has any Industry female friends. It’s no fantasia she’s nice to everyone.

Wednesday, May 9, 2007 /
well said @#176. people seem to forget that fantasia is very comfortable and confident now. not only that but she is a very sexy woman to me. on every interview or show she does guys do tend to flirt with her alot. it’s definitely not her. besides she ain’t got no damn dog. she was touring way before the color purple came a calling, with jamie foxx. she didn’t go out spending money like crazy, shit she still lives in north carolina with her family. she has constantly been working ever since idol, so give my girl some respect. tell the truth ya’ll don’t see her being intimidated and backed in a corner for nobody. if anything it’s the other way around. so i think it TONI BRAXTON’S ass. she was broke as hell and now she doing this las vegas thing. come on now think people. one

Can’t be Monica she had way more then 2 cd’s out plus she ain’t the type to sit in a coner at a party . Plus her 2nd album was her biggest seller ya’ll know ya’ll still bump The Boy is Mine. Can’t be Ciara both her cd’s did well plus she walks her own dog (u seen the pictures). Ashanti got money and her 2nd cd did well. I’m say Fantasia she looks like her confidnce low plus her latest cd ain’t that hot

ITS NOT TASIA, if you’ve noticed she is very comfortable in her own skin.. and she isnt in financial ruin.. you all need to start reading the ENTIRE blind item instead of selective reading… and for the record Fantasia is a very beautiful person inside and out! she doesnt party that often so it cant be her!
i havent a clue on who this “ugly” star is… i feel that all female artists are beautiful, in their own special way.

Fantasia. The “opportunity” the post alluded to must be that “Color Purple” play that she’s in. Her second album tanked. She’s cute to me but I could see her being intimidated around people like Beyonce or Alicia Keys. She doesn’t strike me as confident.

Ciara, because, let’s be honest, she’s not the typical little attractive girl like other gurls, and her album, Evolution, didn’t do so well as Goodies, she has a doggy, and CL posted a pic of her walking the damn doggy, i guess, letting go the ex-employee…

I think it might be Ciara….. I recall her being on 106 & Park saying she felt insecure about her height. She does have a dog. Her second cd didn’t do as well as “Goodies” and does she now have a contract for modeling or something?
SHIT….. I DON’T KNOW………
My Top Three:
1)Ciara
2)Amerie
3)Lil Mo

Yeah Christina Aguilera is ugly on TV but that girl looks gorgeous in person w/ less make up when i saw her in New York. i think she makes herself look different on purpose.It has to be Fantasia.
