THE ROUND UP: TONI BRAXTON DOES NOT HAVE BREAST CANCER | RIHANNA DATING SHIA? | FOXY BROWN UPDATE
Wednesday, August 29, 2007

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.

I love Shia I always thought he was soo cute. Glad to see he likes us black girls. They make a strange couple to me though. Glad to hear Toni is in good health and we really need to take her advise ladies. Foxy made her own bed, so her complaints are falling on deaf ears over here.

@ julieisadime I think its okay either way but when some black men throw it in our faces,slander/critize black woman in the process, and date outside their race for all the wrong reasons [like Polow Da Don] then I think it’s just ignorance. Overall its black woman, as well as white woman going at eachother for the same type of men…..

I don;t see why Ri dating Shia has to do with “oh she must assume all black men are grimey” do you know what she is thinking?….Why not she might be thinking this guy is cute…not this WHITE guy is cute…Race doesn’t have to be everything pple…and I think they look intresting together…Hope it works out

Check this out - Rihanna’s talking about wanting to do movies and now reviewing offers Singer Rihanna moves to non-musical Hollywood. Rihanna says that she would love to do an action film, can’t blame her - since I don’t think america is ready for a bajan accent doing shakespeare or some other dramatic role. Shia is an upcoming action hero. Having a difficult time figuring this one out . JC Penny, Nike, Covergirl, Dreamgirls(who was in that film) …. Be right back, got to get my calculator.

#1. Next time I hear about Foxxy, I want it to be because she has an album dropping. For the last 5 years she has stayed in the news over court cases. This is just ridiculous now. I pray that she gets her life together and gets FOCUSED because the girl is talented!
#2. Rhi Rhi and Shia make a cute couple. And for those of you debating on this blog over why the reaction is different when its a black man dating outside of his race, versus a black woman, the answer is ver simple. Black woman are the most disrepected, devalued, denegrated group of woman in our society. We live in a society that tells us that everything we naturally are is wrong. Some of us rise above that, but many of us internalize it and therefore see these relationships as slaps int eh face. I’m not the type of woman who cares who a black man dates. At the end of the day I put all men on my rador and i would never limit myself to waiting for the black man of my dreams. But many other black woman do.
#3. Glad to hear Toni’s safe and I wanted to share some information w/ my sisters regarding cancer and black woman. STOP USING HAIR PRODUCTS WITH PLACENTA OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF HORMONES. MY DOCTOR SHARED A STUDY WITH ME THAT SHOWED THAT BLACK WOMAN HAD HIGHER OCCURENCES OF CANCER DUE TO THE CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS FOUND IN THE HAIR PRODUCTS. We are know for using ALOT of chemicals in our hair unfortuatly, the less chemical you allowed to be absorbed through your scalp the better. I use Carol’s Daughters products, they work well and are chemical, petrolium and mineral oil free.

Hey all, I was checking to see if the Rihanna/Shia thing was for real (btw great 4 her) and I ran across this website. It’s quite intriguing. I was shocked that there was a website like this, but I have to say it felt nice to be appreciated as a black woman. You have to see it, it’s kind of funny to imagine a bunch of white guys talking about what they love about us black women!!LOL It’s cute.

At first I thought dble standards like Sade had stated. I’ve had my share of comments about inter-racial relationship (marriage, dating,children). I’m not sure if all the ladies who were negative about black men dating non-black women are the same ones commenting on Rihanna and Shia. I’m not going back to check the other posts to see who said what, I’m just going to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. As for that polow post that seems to keep coming up, the main problem there was that Polow wants a servant. Most of the ladies agreed on that, it wasn’t so much that he preferred White woman but that he thought white women SERVED him better than black women. It became more of a let a man be a man, let him take the lead or think that’s he’s taking the lead discussion. there were some side comments regarding religion but it was mostly about “what is submission vs letting him take the lead?” Just my take.

If it’s true, then do your thing, Rhi. Shia’s a cutie. There’s been many celeb hookups much more random than this one!

Its interesting to see the difference between a black gossip site and a white gossip sight when it comes to the interracial thing between Shia and Rihanna, on this site about 90% of u are cool but on the white sites they’re skewering his ass, i’m guessing homeboy career is about to bubble and they don’t like the fact he fucking wit a black chick, and a popular one at that. Some of us black folk need to get over the interracial shit, if its true love or like and not based on color i say fuck it, let them be, hey the kids gonna come out black anyway and we win, so i’m happy,lol…im joking of course. I’ve seen the Shia brotha on some Carson Daley late night show and he seem like a cool dude, and he wasn’t corny or AbercrombieandBitch-like, so i ain’t got no beef.

I’m on my mom and grandmother every year to get a mammogram and what not……i’m 21 but in a year I think i’ll start getting them regularly too….i’ve heard of women as young as 24 getting breast cancer. I’m glad Toni is healthy.
If Rihanna is dating him they are a cute couple then…..I got a little crush on Shia since I saw him on either Jay Leno or Conan O’Brien and he had just turned 21. Yet I did go hmmmm because it reminded me about what she said about white boys and wanting a white bf and w/e. -_-
And mane all I can say in reference to Fox is that she needs to stop acting like the law don’t apply to her…..her a– is still black and she definitely needs to just stick through her punishment and live better when she is out even if it’s only for her unborn child.

-I am so relieved that Toni is alright. She’s got some wise-words though, ladies. Always show up for your screening, the easiest and most effective way of taking action, if you are diagnosed.
-Good for Rihanna. Just to let you know, black-white marriages aren’t even that high in the US, in the bigger picture. Marriages between Asian women and white men is the most common bi-racial marriage in this country.
-SMH at Foxy. She’s really lost the plot. As a fan of her music, I am finding it increasingly harder to feel sorry for her, as the days go by

Thank God that rumor isn’t true about Toni becuz for her to have to go thru her son’s autism AND that would’ve just been too much to bear. I’m glad that she’s happy and healthy.
I think Shia and RiRi look cute together. I like him, he’s a good actor. If she is dating him, it’s about time. I know she’s feeling the effects of that drought she’s been going thru. Good 4 them both..

Lucky for Toni Braxton she does not have breast cancer. African American health is correct that breast cancer is the leading type of cancer for black women.

Shia and Rhianna are something diffrent( meaning it is totally random) but I think they are a cute couple. She better not get shit for dating a white boy as many black dudes that got white chicks on they arms now days. But I mean are we still caught up on interracial dating??? There are worse things in the world like uh…. I dont know…WAR!!!
