Corrine Bailey Rae & her husband Jason Rae.
The husband of Grammy nominated singer, Corinne Bailey Rae was found dead in a Leeds (200 miles from London) apartment on Saturday.
Various news sources report that the body of 32-year-old Jason Rae was found around 3:15 PM Saturday, a victim of an apparent drug overdose.
Word is, the Cops arrested a 32-year-old man for “supplying controlled substances.” But he was then released on bail shortly after.
Jason Rae was a saxophonist with the Haggis Horns and married Corinne back in 2001.
The 29-year-old Bailey Rae is probably best known for her songs “Put Your Records On” and “Like A Star.”
Angela Bassett Fears Plastic Surgery
Angela Bassett who just received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was nervous for the ceremony, but it is nothing compared to her fear of plastic surgery. Bassett told Chris Yandek of CYInterview.com that she has considered it, but she is frightened,
“I’d do but I am too scared. I am too much of a chicken to go through with something like that, maybe in time. I don’t know. I am too scared to let somebody cut on my face like that.”
On why she was nervous for her star ceremony, Bassett said,
“You always remember where you were in the beginning. You had idealistic and hoping people would accept you and allow you to do what it is that you love doing and not initially looking for the accolades, just looking for the opportunity. Then when the accolades come it just makes it that much sweeter.”
OPRAH STOLE THE ‘BIG GIVE’???
A Boston woman claims to have pitched a reality show idea titled “The Philanthropist” to producers for Oprah Winfrey, only to see her idea come to fruition and air three years later under the name “Oprah’s Big Give.”
According to the New York Daily News’ Rush & Malloy column, Darlene Tracy says it was Feb. 2005 when she developed her concept for “The Philanthropist,” which would feature challenges in which contestants find ways to help the needy. Tracy claims she sent her pitch to Ellen Rakieten, executive producer of Winfrey’s talk show, and that Rakieten and another producer, Jennifer Thornton, wrote back to ask for more details.
Tracy claims to have mailed a detailed business proposal on March 1, 2005. Four months later, Thornton allegedly told Tracy that Oprah’s company, Harpo Productions, was going to pass on her idea [READ MORE].

Remember the old adage: Black don’t crack, Angela. Girl, stay away because you are too gorgeous!!!!
DAMN! RIP
That’s Sad.
I Wish Angela WOULD! Her and Vanessa are fuckin flawless oder black women! Don’t fuck up your beautiful faces like Vivica did.
I hope Oprah didny do that
feel so sorry for ayo
RIP
RIP to Corrine husband. That’s so sad.
I LUV Angela Bassett; but, girlfriend needs to stop. She KNOWS she HAD some plastic surgery done. Look at her face especially her nose.
OH SHIT I SAID AYO
IM SO CONFUSED
feel sorry for corrine
OH no thats bad! Poor Corienne…I didnt know she was married either.
Angela is alright the way she is anyways.
Oops for Oprah if its true…maybe people cant be original these days.
Wow @ Corinne. That is a horrible horrible thing to deal with I’m sure. I will def pray for her. She is a great artist!
Angela….. What in the world is she considering for plastic surgery? She is flawless!!! I know she is older, but she still looks pretty young to me. I think she’s aging extremely gracefully
Oprah…. Dang… I hope that isnt true. But im sure if it is, she’s the one that can get out of it. Also…. I love oprah!! She is the WOman!!!
so sad about her miss rae’s husband..angie don’t do it please kelly(boob job rowland) already spoilt it for me pls don’t it.U have got so much love in the UK…..CP makes a difference to my day..
My prayers go out to Corrine, family and friends. R.I.P. Jason Rae.
you don’t need it angie look good especially to be 50 you put a lot of 20 something actresses to shame….sorry for your lose corrine and to his family my heart goes out to you all.
@6 stop hatin it’s called good genes
Tamika, I really don’t thnk so. Seen her several times, even before she became famous. Look at her mom. Angela still looks authentic to me.
If the production idea was stolen, I sincerely think Oprah did not know it was stolen. She is quite savvy and understands that a lot of people would be out gunning for her if she made such a foolish mistake. Could someone that works for her have intentionally or mistakenly used Ms. Tracey’s idea. Yes.
sorry to hear about corrine’s husband…i love her music
my condolences go out to her and family
My prayers goes to Ms. Bailey Rae…. She must be heart broken… And Angela B you don’t need to go under the knife coz you r gorgeous!!…. It’s great to age naturally and she is already doing a great job with it!!!! Come on now!!!!!
Damn, everybody dyin. Leave the drugs alone. It’s no good.
ANGELA DONT NEED IT MOST OF THESE WOMEN GET PLASTIC SURGERY LOOK WORSE AFTER SURGERY TAKE LIL KIM LATOYA JACKSON ETC
I know of Oprah been to that show twice first class…the fall sounds suspect and the ushers are on point.They tell people not to run, please walk. Thank you and they people act like they can’t hear. Everyone will get a seat because they only allow the enough people in to fill seats some folks want to be up front and when its there are guest they are seated first like children family members they are very professional.
As far as the show goes Oprah has contracts coming out of her nose for any deal she transacts, she probably had that producer sign something saying that was solely her idea or whoever presented it and that she…she crosses every I and dots every t. Oprah owns her shit and she makes sure she owns its.Someboy trying to get paid and Oprah would have fired those people and cancelled that show herself she never stole shit to get ahead, hell she the producer.
If you had a case and all this documentation when you went to court the first time then why in the hell did she not have a lawyer the, they got to make a case. Ain’t no one stupid.
Ask anyone who has worked for Oprah about an Oprah contract, al these years you have never heard shit…..this is bogus and suspect…and you know these crackers tried her with those dam cows and lost.
well damn what is going on with the white folks and overdosing?? and they say we got problems
and angela is gorgeous
aww man dats awful. RIP for Bailey’s hubby.
Plastic surgery for what??? Angela is flawless, she dont need any plastic surgery. it’ll only fuck her face up.
I have a friend from the University of Chicago who did internship at Harpo and she said she signed so much shit, and before they are hired or if they give her any idea they have to sign a document stating it is their idea and she sid you have to sign your name, she said Oprah is very, very thorough and she was telling me you will get fired in the quickness for dishonesty, because she is good to her employees.
She also says Oprah holds on to stuff for years and she does her research before any project.That person that they named who they said submitted it to Oprah would have been fired, but trust me she signed off on it being her idea and this ladywon’t get shit from Oprah.You would have heard them say the employee has been fired, Oprah worked to hard she don’t play.
My friend says she can’t even write a book or give an interview about anything at Harpo Studios even now she is gone she signed off when she got the job if so she will get sued, that’s why people don’t say shit…they sign a strict confidentialty agreement and it is thorough.
Drugs are forsaken and people still take them.That’s them, but I like Corrine’s music and I know he had a lot to do with her album.So RIP to him.
Angela is too beautiful for that.She don’t even need it.Don’t listen to Hollyweird Angela you doing just fine.
Don’t really see how anybody stole the idea because Oprah been giving since…
@#19 I am lmao because my mom read this on the net and she said the same thing they tried this with those cows, she said Oprah getting too big and they want to get paid is all. My mom has been to the show and she said they have ushers and if that woman fell and got injured then they would have called and Oprah would have mad sure she got what she needed to avoid a lawsuit, this woman ain’t stupid and she said they tell you to be careful, pleas walk don’t run, don’t push their are enough seats for everyone, after all these years somebody falling??????
I guarantee you that’s who this is, because she brought Obama on the scene, these white folks a trip. Ray Charles can see through this and he is blind and dead. As generous as Oprah is and with all the insurance she has she would give this woman $5o,ooo.oo her insurance company would pay this easily for a legit injury she has insurance up the gazoo at Harpo, that place is huge and fabulous.
Those dam cows again.
poor corrine..that’s too bad! May God comfort her. #6. LMAO.. I agree.. som 1′s lying……..
Damn, that’s so sad. I didn’t know Corrine had a husband. My condolences go out to them
Angela don’t need that plastic surgery, she’s PROOF that black don’t. U stay the way you are sis, cause you fine!!!
Dang always someone gotta try and bring Lady O down. I hope that this ends well.
This is political shit..and they want people not to watch it, because it is the No! show in its time slot…she made the announcement for the show long before it aired and she openly talked about its format. Why now and all of a sudden after all these years someone falling at Harpo and no ushers?????? Obama is winning and she was the one who first endorsed him….I believe that is all this is and a lot of white folks hate Oprahs success and prosperity. I hope they don’t find no dirt on these bitches……
Corrinne you have my condolences.
My prayers to Corrine and their families.
Too bad about Corrine’s husband.
All Oprah has to do if she has proof it was stolen is take it off the air, cancel it and then the bitch won’t get shit and move on. She is the producer. I will be watching it tonight.
Ah eh, Black or White that shit is still tragic. My heart goes out to that caramel dyme Corrine and her family. No matter her music is so sad.
Angela, the queen of chocolate dymes, don’t ever go under the knife. It aint fear mama, it’s damn good common sense! Just take a good look at Vivica Fox and you’ll see the light of day.
I’m sure Oprah’s game is too air tight for somethin like this to be true. That chick will fall back or Oprah will have her ERASED!
So sad to hear this about Corrine’s husband. My thoughts and prayers are with her and their families.
Angela doesn’t need any plastic surgery she’s avery very well! It’s about time she got her star!! CONGRATS!!!
I pray that everything will b o k wit Jason Rae………..
My prayers are with Corrine. Angie, girl you don’t need plastic surgery at all! Oprah…I’m sure she didn’t know someone pitched the idea, she probably thought her producers developed it for her.
IM SORRY BUT OPRAH IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOO OVER-RATED SHE HAS ALREADY SOLD-OUT BIG TIME IN MY EYES AND PEOPLE STILL CHEERING HER ASS ON.
TO ME ALOT OF PEOPLE THINK THEY CAN GO 2 OTHER COUNTRIES AND DO STUFF AND GET PRAISED WHEN THEY REALLY NEED 2 BE HELPIN OUT THEIR OWN COUNTRY.
OPRAH BEEN STEALIN PEOPLE IDEA’S I SAW SUE HER ASS …….SORRY 2 ALL U OPRAH FANS

THAT IS SO SAD TO HER ABOUT CORRINE HUSBAND
ANGELA BASSETT I DON’T BLAME YOU I’M SCARED OF IT TOO
My condolences to Corinne…
Angela doesn’t need plastic surgery…most Black women, and people of color in general, age gracefully…
She’s beautiful. Leave plastic surgery to those who actually need it and for those crazy-looking plastic wannabe Barbie dolls.
#35 Come and See, Oprah DOES do a lot of things in this country. However, since she’s the millionaire and it’s HER money, she can spend her money anyway SHE choses. It’s no one business but hers. Period.
lol at these comments I was waiting on an oprah naysayer come up in the post so teh bickering will start lol
Angela doesn’t need it she is already beautiful
Never been a fan of Corrine’s music is a snooze in my opinion but I’m so sad that her husband died from drugs that is awful
RIP!! That’s crazy and all, but think about it, her soul mate the man she loved is gone! RIP!
am soooo sorry to hear about carrine bailey rae husband, thats sad
oprahs pic is fierce
anglea= looking oh soo gorgeous
1. Sorry to hear about Corrine’s loss. It must be very hard to lose a spouse.
2. I know you thought about it Angela, but please keep it as a thought and not reality.
3. Oprah will come out on top
Not so sure that Oprah dots every “i” and crosses every “t” especially lately. I think it is a symptom of too many hands in too many pots. Recent examples:
1. molestation charges at her school in Africa
2. Her book club selection in which the author was a KKK member and known racist Asa Earl Carter.
3. Her book club selection in which the author James Frey fabricated his story (she went on to defend him on Larry King, however, when the pot got too hot, she invited him on her show and tore him a new asshole.
4. Her book club selection in which author Jessica Seinfield has been accused of plagiarism.
This example does not surprise me. Many interns and employers who try to move up the ranks often steal other ideas and pass them off as their own. I don’t think Oprah is sitting up in her office stealing ideas but I do think her staff is and at the end of the day, as a boss, she is responsible.
My condolences go out to Corrine Bailey Rae.
condolences to corrine
@Tamika angela has done no surgery. if you’ve seen early pics of hers, you would see that the woman is naturally that flawless.
i don’t want angela to get work done b/c she’ll be like every other actress in hollywood. seriously most actresses in hollywood have gotten work done from jenn aniston to halle berry to those brazilian vicky secret models (one got her ears pinned back so idk if that counts). it’s rare to see a natural beauty in hollywood and i love angela for keeping it real.
oprah’s getting sued. so what? woman has a lot of cash
ANGELA DOESN’T NEED PLASTIC SURGERY. WHAT SHE NEEDS IS A STYLIST FOR HER DAUGHTER’S HEAD. POOR BABY GOTTA WALK AROUND LOOKIN A MESS CAUSE HER MAMA CAN’T COMB HAIR.
Wow…my heart goes out to Corrine I know this had to be completly devastating. However, if drug use was the main cause of his death I can only hope that Corrine is not engaging in the same behaviour.
Angela Bassett and Plastic Surgery??? Those two do not belong in the same sentence! The woman is sooooo BEAUTIFUL and I can only pray that I look half as good as she does when I reach her age.
Oprah…….no comment!
I’m sorry to hear about Corrine’s husband, she’s in my prayers
I’m sorry, Corrine! I love you! I think the Best New Artist award was so yours last year, Carrie Underwood has NOTHING on you.
Angela doesn’t need surgery and she won’t ever because she’s black. LOL Now, that’s settled.
Oprah. blah blah…you’ve got no tag on ideas, people…
Wow, I don’t feel so dumb now. It looks like a lot of people did not realize that Rae was married. God Bless.
As for Angela, girl, PLEASE do not get plastic surgery. I can understand the temptation because we all know how much Hollywood loves black women with non Afrocentric features. I have to sum it up, do you Angela. I know plenty of men who are in their 20s who would date you now.
Angela hasn’t even thought of it…and she knows she hasn’t because her deal with…what’s that brand…is anti-aging stuff!! The minute she goes under the knife, she foregoes that check. Plus, she’s stunning, as are ALL black women WELL INTO THEIR TWILIGHT YEARS!
