THE ROUND UP: DA BRAT ASSAULTS WAITRESS WITH A BOTTLE OF RUM / TASHA SMITH TO PLAY DONNA SUMMER / BEYONCE & JAY-Z DO IT BIG FOR NEW YEAR’S?
Thursday, November 1, 2007

According to the AJC, Shawntae “Da Brat” Harris was arrested early Thursday morning after allegedly hitting a waitress in the face with a rum bottle during an altercation at a Jermaine Dupri’s Studio 72 nightclub.
DeKalb County police spokeswoman Mekka Parish said the 33-year-old rapper, got into an “altercation involving pushing” with the waitress. Read on:
“According to witnesses, after the pushing, the waitress walked away, and a short time later, that’s when Harris picked up a bottle and hit the waitress in the face with it,” Parish said.
Parish said the rum bottle broke, causing a “deep laceration” to the 23-year-old woman’s cheek. The waitress also had swelling to her forehead, and was taken by friends to a local hospital. [READ MORE]
Damn Da Brat!! That’s serious right there. Somebody might be doing some time and you know the chick is going to sue too.
TASHA SMITH TO PLAY DONNA SUMMER IN NEW MOVIE

Word is Tasha Smith is going to play Donna Summer is a movie biopic of the singer’s life. She told the BV Buzz that:
“It’s a movie we’ve been working on and we’re excited,” she revealed. “We’re still in the development stages of it but I will be playing Donna Summer, it’s just telling her life story.”
Summer, the legendary Academy Award winning singer known as “The Queen of Disco,” catapulted to the top of the 1970s pop music stratosphere with hit songs such as Last Dance, I Feel Love, McArthur Park, and Love to Love You Baby.
“It will show the transformation of her life,” Smith added about the film, which may or may not be adapted from Summer’s 2003 autobiography Ordinary Girl. “A lot of people don’t really know all that she has gone through from a young girl to teenage moving to Europe and trying to start on her career, and her different marriages and the drugs and her transformation with Christianity and all of that.”
JAY-Z & BEYONCE DO IT BIG FOR NEW YEAR’S?

According to our friends over at Just Jared, Beyonce and Jay-Z are planning to perform together for a New Year’s Party.
What’s shaping up to be the hottest ticket for New Year’s Eve weekend?
The Las Vegas opening of Jay-Z’s 40/40 Club, reports Life & Style! The first couple of hip-hop, Beyoncé, 26, and Jay-Z, 37, will perform together around 12:30 a.m. on Dec. 30.
“Jay wants his club to be the ultimate in entertainment. He knows the buzz is going to be huge,” says a friend of the couple.

Tasha Smith looks a lot like Donna Summer and she has the acting ability so that’s a good choice.
Da Brat - just like Foxy will not be satisfied until they swell up on the wrong sister and really get whipped. She’s too old for that foolishness.
All this hitting women in the head with bottles, what does she think this is… the wild west?

OKAYYYY DA Brat…..You wanna stay true to your stage name, huh? There can only be one violent, crazy female rapper and Foxy has the throne already, so you are a day short on that one shawty!
Tasha Smith - I can see her play Donna Summer, but y’all know that photo of her here is all kinds of wrong…..who really wants to see up her nose? LOL
Bey and Jay…..WHATEV!

DaBrat really really needs to stop it, She is about to cost JD some serious money cause its his club so he is liable and he gonna have to cover her lawsuit cause we know them reality shows aint paying like that. I’m madd she rep’n Chi-Town in such a negative way.
Tasha Smith would be great as Donna Summers she has inspired me to get my hair cut thanks to the WDIGM movie so if she can make me cut my hair she can do anything.
B & JZ can have all the concerts they want if I spend 150,00 to see either of them its a trick to it. Seriously

I heard they were arguing over a bill, how much was it? am I wrong for thinking it should of been free since it was Jermaine Dupri’s club? whatever the case she (Da Brat) was wrong.
Congrats to Tasha Smith, can she sing?

Dabrat is always hitting people with bottles…she did back when she was going out with AI, too… And, didn’t she have a fight with OJ’s daughter (hitting her with a bottle, too) over him OR did OJ’s daughter hit somebody else with a bottle over Shaq? Ahhhh I confused myself…oh well…
Dabrat looks disgusting…like she smells like starch…

I don’t even care about Jay Z nor Beyonce but Da Brat I rarely hear about.
I’m sure Da Brat wouldn’t mind jail time. Those chicks in there dreamt of going down on Da Brat so now they have an opportunity too. Whether or not she wants to give it up is totally irrelevant to them.

HA HA TO YOU MOFOS TALKIING ABOUT BEY AND JAY BEING BORING OR HAVING NO APPEAL TO YOU
DON’T WORRY I DOUBT IF THEY ARE COUNTING ON YOU TO PURCHASE A TICKET TO ATTEND THEIR SHOW
I THINK THE SHOW IS FOR FANS, FAMILY, & FRIENDS WHO CAN ACTUALLY AFFORD TO BE THERE AND WHO OBVIOUSLY ARE MORE IN THE KNOW ABOUT WHO AND WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY THAN EITHER OF YOU ARE
I GUESS NOBODY WILL BE THERE OR WANTS TO SEE THIS SHOW BECAUSE YOU GUYS FIND THEM BORING-I HIGHLY DOUBT THAT
PEOPLE MAKE ME LAUGH WITH THEIR BOGOUS OPINIONS ON THIS SITE ABOUT CELEBRITY’S AS IF YOU NOT LIKING THEM IS GOING TO AFFECT THEIR POCKETS OR SUCCESS
ANYBODY YOUNG, BLACK, SUCCESSFUL-AND AINT OUT HERE ROBBING, STEALING, OR KILLING ANYBODY TO MAKE THEIR PAPER I’M GOING TO SUPPORT-
TOO BAD MORE PEOPLE DON’T THINK LIKE THAT…………….

Nice choice with Tasha Smith-
I saw da brat on some awards show a long time ago where she actually dressed like a real grown woman- her hair was curled nice, she had on makeup and a nice suit and she looked ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!! - Too bad she’s still just an immature kid resorting to her ghetto-ness!

Go Tasha! She is perfect for this role .
The Brat needs to grow up. She should be getting her grown woman on like MC Lyte and Latifah, yet she running around like this is 1994.
I could care less about Beyonce and Jay Z. They are the most boriest couple yet people love to post their tired pictures. What’s so exciting about them walking or sitting? Boooooo! Boooo!

ONLY THING I WOULD SAY IS THAT THEY DON’T COME OFF AS A COUPLE WHO ACTUALLY ENJOY EACH OTHERS COMPANY LIKE WILL & JADA, ASHANTI & NELLY, JD & JANET, NAS & KELIS. THEY JUST SEEM LIKE THEY ARE KIND OF FORCE TOGETHER FOR BUSINESS PURPOSES, ALTHOUGH I’M SURE THAT’S NOT THE CASE THAT IS WHAT IT COMES ACROSS AS.

It’s funny all those who dont like the fact that people say they’re tired of B and J… whats the point of you saying it wont stop their money hell no it wont I mean they already loaded and its Jay’s club he gonna make money regardless! But for people like #56 Bailey to find it necessary to state it wont hurt the success tell me this while you campaigning so hard, how much is you getting out of it?? Second you have no idea who can or cant afford what so because someone isn’t as excited as you obviously are they cant afford to go… says who? I mean just hop off … like you said its people’s opinion ,people can feel and choose what they want and I mean really what world do you live In that seeing J and B perform together AGAIN is doing so BIG I mean really… everyone knows their a couple, she is a hell of a performer and J is the Kin and this has been so for the last 4-5 years …. OK NEXT we get it.. thats all Im saying
