BLIND ITEM: TRICKIN’ FOR CRACK
Friday, August 10, 2007
This black actress continues her downward spiral into severe drug addiction. First, it was the suicide attempt, the hospitalization in a mental ward and now this. Her reps manage to keep her scandals out of the press and mainstream media has no interest.
She was once offered $30,000 per week ($120,000 per month) pertaining to work but her devastating crack and meth habit prevented her from reaching this goal. On the first day, she showed up, agitated, twitching and high.
She and her male friend, who is also a crack addict spend all of their time in South Central crack houses. When they escape into the daylight, they are either trying to borrow money from family members or they’re recycling cans. They both resemble walking corpses.
The male companion got “turned out” in jail and he has traded sex for rock. Our actress has also traded sexual favors for drugs, and I would imagine, some of these encounters involved unsafe sex.
Could this be the same actress Wendy Williams was talking about when she mentioned a black actress who was passed over to portray her in an upcoming biopic because of her drug addiction? Robin Givens was the second choice for the role.
Hints: This actress has “never” appeared on a television series and she is extremely popular in the black community.
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 purposes. Please don’t email me asking for the answer because your email will promptly be deleted.

I DON’T THINK IT’S MELISSA FORD, BESIDES SHE WAS UP FOR THE ROLE THE GIRL THAT WENDY’S HUBBY WAS CHEATING ON HER WITH.
IT’S DEFINITELY NOT VANESSA BELL CALLOWAY. WHOEVER SAID THAT IS JUST PLAIN DUMB…
I DON’T THINK IT’S THERESA RANDLE, ALTHOUGH SHE’S DATING FATHER MC AND HE LOOKS CRACKED OUT.
I SAY IT’S NONA GAYE AND CHICO DEBARGE!

Here is another blind item mya did on nona
. PANACHE REPORT 05/11
When we think of black actresses with alleged emotional problems, we automatically think of Maia Campbell and Lisa Nicole Carson. Now, you can add one more black actress to the list. We reported on this young lady last year. She has had ups and downs in her career and personal life but now, at the rate she’s going, she’s on course to become the next fatality in black Hollywood. Rewind: When she was off drugs, she was involved in a passionate relationship (on her end) with a famous black celebrity who she was madly in love with, he forced her to have a abortion. After he dumped her, she had a nervous breakdown and she had to be hospitalized. After she was released from the hospital, her life took an upswing and she was awarded a seven figure payment that she squandered in a year on men and drugs. She paid for their customized cars and the rest was spent on massive amounts of drugs. Fast Forward: Her drug use has become so severe (crack and heroin) that she is now hanging out in crack dens in South Central, Los Angeles. To make matters worse, she has began to trade sex for drugs. Due to her unsafe sex practices and shooting heroin, sadly, this once pretty actress-probably has more than one STD. Hint: She’s appeared in a hand full of movies but one stands out, made in 2004.

Geez I have no clue what the blind item is however it is sickening to me that most of you all would prove the stereotype true “if you want to hide something from blacks put it in print.” Clearly Angel said she was not in a television series and alot of folks insist on saying it was Maia Campbell. It is far worst to be able to read and not read than being illiterate and not having the capability of reading. Read folks it is not hard to do!!! Good Day I know I’m going to piss some of you folks off but it is the truth, reading is very essential and some of you folks need to grasp that

All the things on this page are not here to hurt anyone’s feelings, these are things he said, he’s not a good person this J.T. However I know what the Lovexpert said is true.
I knew if I came to any of you, you would not believe me, sometimes you have to show a person or let them find out for themselves. All this is true, god knows what lies he told about me, when he got mad at me and realized I found out he is no good.
He’s the bad one, Eve is the good one.Believe it if you want, this is all true.

This was posted in 2006 on Nona Gaye’s IMDB page:
Blind item

——————————————————————————–
On another board Nona and Chico were the answer.
This black female celebrity has a drug history that she has briefly spoken about but she seemed to conquer her demons because she worked in a few back to back projects. Sadly, she is back on drugs, this time, it’s heroin. She and her boyfriend, who was also famous briefly (and who is a part of a musical family) are crack house regulars. He smokes crack, while she shoots up. She got introduced to heroin through her boyfriend’s brother (also well known and famous) who also shoots up.
Instead of going to auditions, her whole day is spent, getting enough money together by begging, borrowing or stealing to cop heroin and crack.
A great opportunity came her way but she showed up under the influence of heroin and vicadin. She was so high, she was nodding off as chills raked her body and track marks covered her left arm. She was asked to leave and not to return. This gig would have paid her six figures a month.
This once attractive woman was arrested (a few months ago) with her boyfriend briefly when a crack house was raided but she was released shortly afterwards. It was a bit more complicated for the boyfriend because it may have been a violation. This didn’t make the news because white cops were the arresting officers and the couple were unrecognizable due to drug use and they “aren’t big name stars” outside the black community.
Don’t be surprised if this woman starts turning tricks for drug money because she is seriously “chasing the dragon.”

@ Asisdadiva - you haven’t pissed me off. You actually gave me a good laugh. Someone trying to preach to black folks about the fundamental qualities of reading and you can’t even form sentences properly.
“It is far worst to be able to read and not read than being illiterate and not having the capability of reading.”
Go back to grammar school - form this sentence CORRECTLY - then post a comment. NEXT

One last thing J.T. although you had an attractive, nice, decent young girlfriend, you didn’t appreciate it. Instead you tried to play me, slept with fake friends, probably would have tried to sleep with my relatives. In others anything that moves he will sleep with. You tried to play me, lied on, backstabbed and betrayed me, and you not once asked for forgiveness or said you were sorry for all the bad things you did. This is why I exposed you for the dirty-low down 2 faced person you are.Yeah you could try, only it won’t work cause I don’t want to hear it. I will never forgive you, because you are to dirty.

Please read all the posts that above that mention Nona Gaye and Chico Debarge. Then match info on those posts with the Blind Item. People always want the answer but when it is handed to them they still don’t want to believe it!!!!!!!!
Stop saying Melissa Ford, Wendy Williams hired her to play her husbands mistress NOT Wendy herself. Stop saying Maia Campbell, Teresa Randall, Vivica Foxx or Lisa Nicole Carson becasue they all had TV series!

People don’t like to hear the truth. The truth is what hurt the most is none of the women he cheated with were as a attractive as me, nice as me, or had any morals.

Okay, I just searched the “Net and it is Maia Campbell, no doubt. She is living in Philly having sex for drugs. Her mother died in November of ‘06 and apparently the drug use got worse after this.
My question is where are her brother and father??? Why aren’t LL, Tyrese, and the other “stars” she worked with coming together to help this beautiful sister??

It’s Nona Gaye - this is the 3rd or 4th blind item related to Nona & Chico. She says “NEVER” been on a TV series because Nona showed up to the set of Law & Order high as hell and they fired on the spot. She would have been making $120,000/month. Everybody seens that video of Mia Cambell and everybody knows she’s on crack. This blind item says her handlers reps have manage to keep her scandals out of the press.

IT’S Nona Gaye.. Technically she’s “never” been on a TV series because she was let go from Law and Order before episodes air.Law and Order pays very well… $30,000 per episode was how much Ice-T made. Nona’s well known in the black community because he dad is Marvin Gaye. She’s currently dating Chico DeBarge, who was no parole for a previous drug conviction… he comes from a famous family and his brother was Janet Jackson’s first husband.
Wendy Williams did pass on her –> because of her drug addiction.

first two that came to mind were Maia Campbell and Lisa Carson (Jason’s lyric). But Nona Gaye does sound like a good candidate for this one. and I Chico is a pretty boy so if he did get locked up his butt was ate up!!!! LMFAO! but its sad cus theyre all pretty women!

@ Trinity- I agree it could be Nona and Chico, but the 2004 movie has to be “Crash” not “Matrix” because that came out in 2003 not in 04
It could also be Mia Cambell

Oh Hell No...
Friday, August 10, 2007 /
Yall know it’s Nona Gaye. when it says “First, it was the suicide attempt, the hospitalization in a mental ward and now this”. It’s talking about her Dad Marvin Gaye he was put in a mental ward and he tried to commit suicide. When it says “South central crack houses” remember she played in the movie The Gospel, It was suppose to take place in south central. Also it says she and her “male friend” who is probably her brother Marvin Gaye jr III. The other thing it says is she’s well known in the black community. Remember her and her brother use to promote the fight against aids and the use to go to all these different black communities.
So I really think its Nona Gaye.

This is Nona Gaye she was fired from Law and Order because of her attitude and supposed drug use. They didn’t even get one episode completed. Extremly well known in the black community because of her father Marvin Gaye. It’’s Nona ..I have heard her drug problem is bad too not only that in mainstream Blind Items there was this same BI. Nona would have been perfect for Wendy Williams role.

It’s Nona Gaye:
One of People Magazine’s “50 Most Beautiful People” (1993) once had a drug problem when she was a teenager. In 1996, she had a failed suicide attempt, which led to her rehab. On a more private note, the ex-partner of Prince (1992-1995) has a son from her relationship with Justin Martinez

Let me guess the first thing J.T. will try to do is deny these things, it is all true everyword. He did these things, he said these things. I won’t get upset because whoever reads this page and says it’s not true is ignorant. This is a warning about a no good, 2 faced snake.Those who choose not to believe it will soon feel the same way and no longer associate with him when they find out i’m telling the truth and nothing but the truth. Ask him to put his hand on the bible and deny it , he will get mad and storm out, I know the way he acts. Ask me I will because I’m telling the truth.

BEAUTIFUL

Beautiful the psychologist says the moral of this story is, no, it is not right to treat others with no regard for their feelings. To do things and say things about people behind their back, to make up rumors,to sneak around with your friends man, or relatives. In a man’s case vice/versus, to sneak around with his friends or relatives is not right. The Lovexpert was hurt because i’m assuming everytime she came around the woman her man was cheating with would start smiling, snickering under her breath. So, now she knows, and exposed him for the loser he is.
135.
BEAUTIFUL
Friday, August 10, 2007 /
Smiling, snickering slyly, is what people do when they think they are sneaking around and others are to stupid to know. If anyone watches 2 people you can pretty much figure out when something is going on such as an affair. The psychologist has spoken.

BEAUTIFUL
Friday, August 10, 2007 /
So to all the people in this chatroom,some advice from Beautiful the psychologist, sometime in your life you may run into someone who seems mean or defensive. If you are interested in getting to know them don’t give up on them. Once you break through their shell you may find that if it’s a woman who seems mean or defensive maybe the man or ex-boyfriend, ex- husband treated them badly. If it is a man who seems mean or defensive maybe their ex-wife, or ex-girlfriend treated them badly. Open up a book thumb through the pages before you judge. Once you take the time and patience and get to know them they may turn out to be nice just hurt, and need a little understanding.

Wow! it just might be Nona Gaye. Wasn’t she slated to star in a TV show and then they changed it and cast someone else? I’m not sure. Its also well known that Chico DeBarge as well as some of the other family members are druggies and we all know that Chico did a stint in the Pen. But Theresa Randle is a possiblity too. She has just kind of fallen off and when I saw that she was engaged to that “hasbeen” rapper Father MC, I knew she had lost her mind. I saw a reality sort of video of them together and they looked high. The didn’t match up together at all. He also has a history of arrests, I think. Anyway, that my two cents. Who knows?
