♫ NEWS: TINA TURNER BACK / 50 CENT GETS HIS CHAIN SNATCHED / OLIVIA SPEAKS
Monday, May 5, 2008

After a seven-year hiatus, Tina Turner will hit the stage again starting with a Kansas City show on Oct. 1.
Tina told Oprah in a May 8 episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show:
“I was at the Armani show in Milan just chatting with Sophia Loren. I told her I was taking a break. She said for how long … I said oh, seven years. She said, ‘Break over. People want to see you. Get back to work.”
“After [performing at] the Grammys when I got home to Zurich, people would come up to me in the restaurant, in the ladies room, on the street … everywhere. I started getting lots of little slips of paper and napkins with notes from fans. Some of them were so touching about my life, or a song and how it helped them. Each time I kept the note … and suddenly there was a pile. I called my manager and said, ‘It’s time! ‘”
50 GETS CHAIN SNATCHED
50 Cent reportedly got his chain snatched in Angola over the weekend. The whole fiasco goes down at the 1:42 mark in the video (far right).
OLIVIA SPEAKS
Speaking of G-Unit, our friend Carlos King recently interviewed former G-Unit artist Olivia and she breaks her silence and talks about the REAL reason she was dropped from G-Unit, whether she had a sexual relationship with any of the members and why she hates Wendy Williams. Check it out.

Thanks for posting the Olivia interview. I really didn’t care for her much before but I see she has class. 50 cent has attacked her in the most vicious manner and instead of responding with negativity she remained ladylike and chose a better route.

Olivia’s hair looks terrible. It is TOO blond, and to top it off she lightened her eyebrows which makes her looks like she doesn’t have any….

Yayy for Tina
50 - Now 50, LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…. Ok, what took you so long to go after him…. LOL… You slippin…. Money got you too comfortable… Wearing all them jewels in Africa… Havent you heard the term “Blood Diamond” They was on get back….
Olivia - Its over for you hun… Sorry, just take you saving and buy a Gas Station or something. I feel bad for you because its hard to come back after being out for a long time… You werent that popular either… I liked you and actually had your very 1st cd when I was in High School but I think its over for you…. Wish you the best but the chances are slim in my opinion.

Hey Angel !
You made a mistake : in the post about 50 cent, the title says it’s > but in the description you say it occured in Angola which is far beyond South Africa !
So change in the title change South Africa for Angola. You know you’re African-American, so don’t make those types of mistakes…LOL
Keep up !

POINT OF CORRECTION!!!!!
Angola is not South Africa. There is ALREADY A COUNTRY KNOWN AS SOUTH AFRICA, SO IF U WANT TO DESCRIBE ANGOLA, PLZZZZZZZ SAY “SOUTHERN” AFRICA.
CHANGE THE HEADER TO “50 GETS CHAIN SNATCHED IN SOUTHERN AFRICA”!!!!!!!
THANKS

Tina looks good, her nose looks like it’s been worked on though.
Looks like 50 did get his chain snatched, I love how he jumped into the crowd after security. lol
Oliva may be a nice girl, but she can’t sing. She was the only artist on G-Unit that 50 even attempted to promote. She had like 4 singles and video’s and couldn’t get he buz that’s why she was dropped. Interscope is not going to keep dropping cash on her.

Cha ngiyala Angola & South Africa are two different countries, so I just want to know was the chain snatched in Angola or South Africa….
Because I’m in South Africa and I ain’t heard of nobody snatching 50’s chain. He had a show like this weekend so I guess it was in SA…ha ha ha awadlal’ amajimbos ase moStates mo

DO I THINK WHAT HOMEBOY DID TO 50 WAS A NICE THING TO DO, NO. BEING A THEIF IS NEVER COOL. HOWEVER DO I FEEL SORRY FOR 50 CENT? HELL NO!!! YOU MAKE SONGS ABOUT IT, ACT AS THOUGH YOU LIVED LIKE THAT “PRIOR” TO BECOME “RICH AND FAMOUS”. LOOKS LIKE THE INFAMOUS 50 JOINT “HOW TO ROB..” HAS TURNED INTO “HOW TO ROB 50″ MAYBE HOMEBOY WAS JUST TAKING SOME OF 5O’S ADVICE (all these lp’s about sticking people up, taking what they got, so forth so on) SORRY CURTIS

Tina is a hero of mine. I hope she works it onstage the way she worked the grammys. I saw her when I was a child at the height of the “What’s love got to do with it” years and she was incredible. I mean at her age to be able to evoke the kind of emotion that she does …. young performers take notes. THAT is how you do ir right there.

For the person who says it’s over for Olivia stop hating because it’s never over for anyone at long as you have GOD in your life it’s never over so don’t think it’s over for her everyone goes through trials and tribulations but we all make it through. So it’s not over for her. Besides she’s coming out with her new album and she’s working with some good people like Neyo and MIssy Elliott so it’s never over she have the chance to come back strong with some really good material. And another thing I heard some of her new songs and the girl can sing. She sings better than your average singer like Ciara, Ashanti, Keyshia Cole, or Rihanna so it’s never over for anyone and when she do come back she will show doubters like you so keep it up Olivia do your thing let them hate we all go through it don’t stop just keep going.

Lol at the 50 incident, he desperately trying to look thug jumping back in after the guy though, aint that what his security is for? And being rich as he is why dive into a couple hundred Africans over one chain anyway?
As for Olivia she needed to leave, they wanted a poster girl and she fit the bill until they realised they have to actually market her, not jus put her on a couple g unit clothes ads and hop on her tracks when they want more exposure

I TALK,YOU LISTEN

i hope Olivia dropped that gansta male image she had…ugh!
She was too manly. I like her before she got with G -unit, do you Ma, don’t rely on some other star’s name to sell your records, you good enough on your own. I guess that is the lesson learned here.

I was at the Oprah taping with Tina and oh boy, did Tina say some things. Tina was talking about when Oprah and Gayle went to Switzerland to visit her and how Oprah has this “other side,” basically calling her a bitch. And also, they were talking about age and wisdom and Tina said that when she was in her thirties that she realized that “stewardesses,” now appropriately called flight attendants, are nothing more than waitresses. Oprah said that both comments would be edited out of the show, lol.

OLIVIA should have NEVER signed to G-Unit in the first place. But I’m glad she left cause the whole label is falling apart so it happened at the right time. It’s not “OVER” for Olivia, if she has the right HIT she’ll be back on track. Why so blonde though? Love her jewelry and nails, she has a very beautiful smile!!!
