TGT? how original guys..how original! Tank gets a pass wid me but Ginuwine & Ty are has-beens jus tryna make a quick buck. This group will flop-guaranteed!
Glad Bey will get the chance to actually hear the audience laughing at her horrible acting skills
Flavour already roasted himself (& Mama Drayton) on TV wid that minstrel show of his. there’s really nothing left to roast.

Comment #79… I’m not trying to change your opinion BUT Tyrese stop making albums to pursue his acting career which is turning out to be a great choice financially speaking (He’s getting around 10 million a pick nowadays) He’s STILL a great singer and people and YES the ladies love to hear his voice…
So I wouldn’t consider Tyrese a has-been at all
NOW Ginuwine, I can’t make no agrument for being called a HAS-BEEN

OMG Three of the finest men in the biz ON ONE STAGE!!!! I will definitely check that concert out & not just here in ATL either. I actually enjoyed all 3 of their latest (even Tyrese as Black Ty which I think alot of people didn’t even listen to so they are making judgements based upon WHAT exactly) & the new Tank is FYRE. Whoever said that they are LSG Jr. & they need to bring it because LAS was the schitt is ON POINT!!!
It would be nice to see B on broadway trying to do something complicated. lol Maggie is a complex character & it will take some real chops to pull it off so we’ll see.
LOL WTF are they going to roast an already crispy & crunchy Flav!!! LMAO!!!

I thought Ginuwine was the blind item last week! The broke singer with the players card! So, now Tank and Tyrese are helping him out like Levert did Johnny Gill!

I think a super group should have been formed with the singers on the “Best Man” song with RL, Ginuwine, Tyrese, and I forgot who else…that song was really hot! I do think they will definitely heat up the stage but so far I think Tank has the best album of the three. I wish Ginuwine can heat it up like he used to. Tyrese only had a few good songs on his first album but they were bonified bangers…We’ll see

AND HERE’s the REAL STORY
A Broadway revival of Tennessee Williams’ Cat on a Hot Tin Roof with an all-star, all-African-American cast has suffered a setback but is still aiming for an October start date in a Shubert house, according to the show’s producer, Stephen Byrd.
Kenny Leon had initially been attached (but not officially signed on) to direct the project. Now, Leon is no longer with the project, and the veteran Broadway actor-choreographer Debbie Allen has signed on to direct. Tony winner Phylicia Rashad, Allen’s sister, is in talks play Big Mamma.
Byrd says that an offer is currently out to Danny Glover for Big Daddy. Thandie Newton and Anika Noni Rose are among the names being considered for Maggie and Blair Underwood and LL Cool J are among the names being considered for Brick.
Byrd had initially been in talks with Oscar winner Forest Whitaker (to play Big Daddy) and Anthony Mackie (Brick).
Audra McDonald was one of the performers originally considered as a possibility for Maggie. Byrd did not rule out the possibility of casting McDonald if other offers fall through, but he cited her many projects, including her recent CD and her upcoming role in Broadway’s 110 in the Shade, which would presumably end right before Cat on a Hot Tin Roof rehearsals.
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is the first theatrical producing project for Byrd, who is African-American. Byrd worked at Goldman Sachs for 15 years and currently runs a private equity fund. He and two of his partners from the fund are bankrolling Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Byrd says he has the rights to the play until mid-2008.
The most recent Broadway revival of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof starred Ashley Judd, Jason Patric and Ned Beatty in 2003. A 1990 revival starred Kathleen Turner, Daniel Hugh Kelly and Charles Durning, and a 1974 revival starred Elizabeth Ashley, Keir Dullea and Fred Gwynne. The original 1955 production starred Barbara Bel Geddes, Ben Gazzara and Burl Ives and was staged by Elia Kazan.

He sent ‘em a horse head in a box with a note that read “…let a ninja put so much as a dragon wing on a pant leg and its y’all asses!”
On Beyonce, wow. Umm, broadway is so brutal. I love to see a sister doing her thing, but…all I can say it that I’ll praying (extra hard) for her.

TGT? That’s different. Seems like artists do things like this when they are trying to re-invent themselves…Didn’t think they were on the way to being washed up yet.
They all have nice voices so maybe it will be cool…and if not maybe a decent tour.

TGT sounds delicious but it should be more aptly named Chocolate Caramel Fudge lol….mmm sexy.
As for Beyonce….a big ass Hell NO!!!! As a classic movie buff and a film major….NO NO NO. Beyonce can’t mask that hideous accent and she just doesn’t have the chops to pull off such a complex role….Elizabeth Taylor ought to be enraged….and replacing Audra McDonald…that is a travesty. Beyonce please please please stick to singing and being a music entertainer ONLY!!!

MOST OVERRATED and OVERUSED WORD:
Haters.
Moving right along -
No, I don’t HATE Beyonce - I don’t even know the chick. But from what I’ve seen of her work, she might be biting olff more than she could chew. And I bet u it went down like this:
“Daddy, this ain’t fair! Jennifer got her an Oscar, and now even hood-ass Fantasia is blowin up on Broadway. I want me a play! Oh and by the way, remember Joe Jackson and Jonetta Patton. Yo ass ain’t irreplaceable.”
And what pisses me off more is that a much more talented theater actress is being pushed aside to make room for a mere dilletante with NO THEATER EXPERIENCE. Not to mention that this is a Tenessee Williams play we’re talking about. If Beyonce can’t conquer Austin Powers and the Pink Panther, how the HELL is she gonna tackle this one?
I think Fantasia and JHUD nailed their Broadway and movie debuts based on them being able to project more raw emotion than I’ve seen Beyonce put forth, and also, there is a BIG difference between a musical and a play. Cat On Hot Tin Roof is a straight up complex acting piece, and if you know its history, one best have the acting chops to take it on.
If Bey wants to get what the others chilrenz got, maybe she should take a few small supporting roles in small plays and get that craft down. She can sing and dance, no doubt, but the jury’s still out on her acting piece.

CONGRATS TO TGT. TYRESE & GINUWINE ARE BEST FRIENDS AND GINUWINE’S A FABULOUS SINGER AND DANCER AND DOES NOT GET THE RECK HE DESERVES. I BELIEVE THIS IS GOING TO BE HOT.
HAUT, HAUT, HAUT - GO ‘HEAD MS. BEYONCE! CONGRATS TO HER AND EVERY MOVE SHE MAKES. I DON’T KNOW THE ROLE, BUT IF MS. DEBBIE PICKED HER, WHO’S VERY METICULOUS REGARDLESS OF WHO’S SPENDING MONEY, SHE HAS TO BE SUITED FOR IT SO CONGRATS TO BEYONCE. SHE NEEDS AN EMOTIONAL PART. THE PARTS SHE’S BEEN TAKING HAVE BEEN SAFE AND THAT’S WHY PEOPLE DON’T BELIEVE SHE CAN ACT - THEY HAD NO RANGE AND BARELY ANY DIALOGUE TO SHOW HER DIFFERENTLY.
KILL ‘EM BEYONCE!

The truth
Wednesday, May 23, 2007 /
Will anyone tell the truth besides me. You know Beyonce hates to be outdone it, is killing her Fantasia is doing so well on Broadway, you all including Bey and her camp are surprised at Fantasias success, Jhud is doing Avon, Beyonce is doing Armani, Bey is so competitive, and it could very easily flop because her motive are wrong, greed and competition. Fantasia, did not come looking for this role never auditioned, what she and her family did was prayed and she accepted and continue today to still do the same as one critic says and even Oprah her self says no one on the face of this earth can duplicate what Fantasia is doing on stage, she is a natural and she works hard and any role she plays she will excell because she gives her, you criticize her past but it is her past that gives her the strength to excell. Beyonce does not want anyone else to shine. I’m so glad Fantasia is not competitive..This industry has made some people truly in love with themselves and no one else> Bey once is narcissistic. She and Jhud both believe their own press as self proclaimed legends. God resist the proud, but gives grace to the humble. Sometimes only he and He alone can teach us about humility. When we are Gods in our own eyes “watch out”. You may not like the way Fantasia dresses but if you were to go to her sight everyone syas the same thing about her character, an award should never define you, it is your charcater and what others who are around you on a daily basis has to say about you that define you, because even as a Star you still have to get along with and associate with others. I rather for her to have a tattoo and humility and integrity and be the honest person she is anyday. Oprah has denmonstrated to all of us as a people what integrity and the right charcater can do for a person. I know you all don’t hear much of that in California because it’s so superficial and evrything is for show. lack of integrity and poor character, no humility but an awesome gift is what brought Whitney down, and humility will bring her back up if she can learn that lesson, talent means nothing with the right character!!!!

I seen Dreamgirls and actually thinks she did Okay if you look at Fighting Temptations you can tell she really studied and tried hard, I realized that Black people talk about supporting Black people in what ever they do but will be the first one’s to put down another Black person in a minute example (Beyonce) and that goe’s for everybody else that’s being talked about so stop hating it’s not that serious just keep doing what your doing BECAUSE she’s gonna keep doing what’s she’s alway’s been doing and that’s making MONEY. HATER’SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
TGT is gonna have a great Album
FLava Flav is crazy and alway’s will be
