Toni Braxton has finally spoken out about the breast cancer rumor that has been going around the web for the past week. The singer exclusively told Access Hollywood:

“There has been a rumor circulating that I have been diagnosed with breast cancer. After feeling something uncomfortable in my left breast, I went in for a screening. I was very fortunate that they did not find anything and I am in great health. However, I encourage women to take their annual tests and suggested precautions to prevent this disease that continues to affect so many women.” [SOURCE]

Toni is right ladies, according to African American Health, Breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosis among African American women, and among women nationwide. African American women are more likely than white women to be diagnosed at later stages of the disease and are more likely to die from it.

RUMOR: RIHANNA DATING SHIA LaBEOUF?

According to Radio With A Twist, Rihanna is reportedly dating actor Shia LaBeouf. “It’s all the talk of the Indiana Jones 4 set,” a snitch dishes to news sources. Shia took Rihanna out on a romantic date at Kate Mantilini in Beverly Hills on Tuesday.

FOXY SAYS SHE IS SUFFERING AT RIKERS

A judge has rejected jailed rapper Foxy Brown’s lawsuit against the Corrections Department in New York for unlawful incarceration. The rapper, who was locked up for probation violations after allegedly lying to police about her identity and allegedly attacking a neighbor with her Blackerry phone, called her sentence “arbitrary” in court papers. Judge Melissa Jackson sent the Fox to jail last week, pending a Sept. 7 hearing. The pregnant rapper’s filing says she is “suffering greatly,” while at Rikers Island.

#40 made me smirk and shake my head. What makes Rihanna a traitor? She doesn’t owe you or anyone else anything and she sure as hell isn’t obligated to date Black men only. Also, what the hell is “black love?” LOVE is LOVE! Black people (other ethnic groups as well) will never become extinct because of close-minded and somewhat ignorant people such as yourself who will limit themselves to one race. Grow up and get a clue, please.

@ julieisadime,

I think it’s b/c sisters feel their getting back at the brothers for going after white women. It seems like it’s all about getting “even,” which is silly because if you proclaim that we’re losing our brothers to white women why would losing sisters to white men be any less detrimental? I personally think it’s whack to cheer one and boo the other but I’m sure someone will rationalize the hell out of it.

why does color have to be a factor? people need to wake up, this is a new day, and we are moving closer to MLK Jr’s dream. i may sound corny, but people should be able to date whoever they want, as long as they are happy, thats all that matters. its hard to find true love nowadays

Wednesday, August 29, 2007 /

@ 74: I disagree. I think men and women’s motivation for “dating” are categorically different. Most dudes just wanna hit a nice-looking female, regardless of color or affection. But here you have hypocritical females “swooning” over white dudes while they hate on non-black females. Meanwhile most of them go to GREAT LENGHTS to look like non-black females (like wtf? lol). That says a lot. All I’m saying is, these bitter black females should stop taking out their self-afflicted frustrations on innocent black men that would rather not tolerate a whiny, insecure b*tch. Especially when they have plenty options with pretty and easygoing females.

@55. JULIEISADIME: lol. You funny.. but that’s cool. I just want you to know that you’re a rarity — an unjaded black female with a healthy self-esteem. I bet you have no problems attracting any kind of man.

#99 UNREAL, GEE u making me blush. but so true, so true :). But on a serious note. I am half black and half Philipina, I was raised in the projects in harlem and I can relate to my sistas, I do understand some of their thinking. Personally I don’t date white men, I live in Orlando Florida now. I have been asked out by all types but I love the brothers, ain’t nuttin like em! For me it’s a preference thing.

103.

Sade-Your Love is King

Wednesday, August 29, 2007 /

#99, I said what I said because, in every post when there is a black male celebrity dating some non black women, black women will unleash a wrath of fury like no other. Some black women may not be bothered by that but the majority is, no one can sit up here and front and say thats not the truth. It wouldnt matter if the brothas were just hittin and splittin or settling down with the non black women. To the majority of black women, it is wrong and disgraceable no matter what he doing. Thats why when well like you said, When somebody like Rihanna or Halle get with white men, 98.5% of the black women will say “you go head”, “aww they look cute”, “better get ‘em girl”, yadda, yadda, etc…
I said Rihanna and Shia look cute together because I meant it just like I think Beyonce and Jayz or Nas and Kelis look good togehter, not out of spite. But I totally agree with what you saying. By the way, if dont mind me asking, are you a man or woman? I want to know if your point of view was from a man or woman speaking, just out of curiousity.

Wednesday, August 29, 2007 /

Well, wanted to add my two cents, First, my dime, I think Shia is a cutie patootie. I seen this on another gossip site and the guy they posted didn’t look like him. But that site is famous for having incorrect info. Not like the CLoop - keeps the facts in heavy rotation. And my second cents - - only a nickel - - Foxy Brown is definitely broke down, made a dance about wanna see it hear it go . . . She’s a broke down oh no, do the broke down oh no . . . Okay, I play too much. Anyway, good grab Rhi. And nice color weave Toni, tracks or micros alwasy look nice.

I’m glad to hear Toni Braxton does not have breast cancer. That’s good news, she and her husband are such a beautiful couple. I didn’t know she was 39 she looks like she in twenties. They are both equally attractive. Shia and Rhianna make a cute couple as long as he treats her with respect. Foxy, Foxy, Foxy Brown what can I say, oh yeah grow up, stop acting a fool and you would not be pregnant and in jail,
and your name Foxy Brown, you are darker than brown, and you are not that pretty or foxy. wrong name honey.

Wednesday, August 29, 2007 /

Toni im glad to hear
Foxy Brown - Tragic
RiRI and Shia - Tragic because one you have money it seems male or female needs a white partner. First shes not half white @20 (Guyanese mom and her dad is black and white) second as a brother i find it interesting that when a black man is with a white chick on this site all hell done broke loose but now that Rihanna is doing it all that matter is he’s “cute” or “a big movie star.” Dag on laughable to me and for the record i have only been down for black love. Like i always say if your black and your argument is that love comes in all shades, but you have to ask yourself does your rainbow include BLACK if not then self hate continues to do us in.

Obviously, the reason why black women and even some black men get upset about black men dating white women is largely to do with disproportionate numbers. Black men are about 5-10 more times likely to marry outside the race than black women. This, though black women are constantly talking about wanting to meet a good black man. People view interracial dating among black men as a disturbing trend that reflects the devaluation of black women and a symptom of black hatred. In this way, black men going “out of their way” to marry white women its viewed by some as racial betrayal.

Let’s get one fact straight though - Blacks, both men and women are the LEAST likely of any racial group to marry whites. So let’s not blow this out of proportion people. At least 90% of all black marriages are between two black people!!! http://www.news.cornell.e...y06/blacks.marry.fac.html

I honestly don’t care about Foxy Brown. So its whatever.

And thank God Toni doesn’t have breast cancer. I wish she’d come out with more music or something.

@100 aka NamelessBitterFemale: I don’t know if to even bother. You’re the very opposite of what I said about JULIEISADIME. What you need is a srhink, not my attention. And by the way, I usually reserve my comments for issues that intrigue me. Like the Mike Vick story. I guess too bad for you, I have a life.

@103 SADE: I understand where you’re coming from. Thanks for articulating your underlying logic. But in my mind, there’s a clear distinction betwen “beating it up” and “marriage.” Why should it matter to a black female if I can distinguish between the two, and at the core, I am not a sell out? I mean, I would only be playing my position as a normal, virile, healthy, single man. You can look at it as a classic case of supply and demand. If you’re a half-decent black man with a brain where I am in California, you couldn’t beat females off of you. So on that note, unless everytime a black female sees me with Jessica Biel lookalike, she steps up and offers to cater to my manly needs, they really should be quiet. It is not game theory; it’s fundamental sociology. I think the problem is, most black females tend to be too impassioned (and rightly so) to caliberate a rational response to these things. But it’s never good to let emotions cloud good judgment. It’s a game, and if you ain’t winning, you losing. As BAD as black females are, there should be NO REASON, for all the manless black women and fatherless black children in this country. There’s a foul cycle going on, and you can’t realistically blame that on Kobe and ‘em — unless you’re cool with polygamy. When it comes down to it, I would never pick Angelina Jolie over Salli Richardson. No matter how much Angie spends on me. So dem females need to calm down.

@102 JULIEISADIME: I didn’t know you was an uptown chick.. I am from Harlem! I can relate to your preferences. I can’t say I haven’t “dated (lol)” white or other non-black females. HOWEVER, as an actualized black man, I just don’t find the need to commit my affection or resources to any female who doesn’t at least have black blood. I want black children, period. I just wish more blacks in this country had love for themselves. Given the history of this country and the dire current reality of blacks, I can’t even fathom being in love with a white chick — it’s well beyond my imagination. But to each their own.
