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.
Tina looks damn good.
Tina looks great wonder if she’s had any surgery?
I was the one who snatched his chain. you american bastards will never catch me!!!!!
Ha, ha at 50! Karma’s a bitch!!! He shouldn’t have been all iced out in Africa anyway!
Go head Tina. I LOVE that woman. I wanna be just like her..sans the Ike Turner beatings. She’s an amazing woman…and Angie B played the HELL outta some AnnaMae in that movie..(one of my top 20 movies of all time).
Dang 50…that’s no bueno.
Can someone kindly give me a recap of what Oliver is talking about on that clip? I can’t listen at work. yes, I called her Oliver…something very tranny about shim
Hell Naw!
TINA STILL GOT IT
and who really cares about olivia….NEXT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The original Mama Tina looks great! Glad she is still going on tour and what not!
LOL @ 50 getting his chain snatched….how you gonna be “hood” after that ….
Tina still looks good.
50 is the epitome of b*tchassness
Olivia is talented…I hope she finally makes it
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.
LOL at 50 jumping his ass in the crowd after him.
Tina get it woman I want to be active when I get to be her age.
50 lmao that is crazy maybe now he will shut up.
Olivia no comment.
50 is crazy, LOL! All that money he got, and he gon run up in the crowd like that risking his life for a chain! LOL! He is sooo hood!! LOL!
Olivia spoke very good for herself. Hopefully she can stand on her own and produce some decent music
curtis *african accent*
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.
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO @ #3.
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 !
olivia is so pretty. love the blonde on her
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.
curtis says he doesn’t perform with real jewels on & the dude who took the chain got his ass beat.
olivia’s hair looks horrible.
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
ANGEL I HAVE TO SAY I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE HOW YOUR NOT BEING APART “MARRIAGE” RUMOR/PUBLICITY STUNT!!! HOT BLOODY MESS…
U know there will be a bounty on his ass and that chain. LOL
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
Lmao at 16 buy a gas station
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.
tina is hot
50 cent HA !
i hope olivia does the damn thing, she is talented and persistant … so she deserves it.
Damn! tina can get it!
LOL @ the camera man. he laughs like eddie murphy when fiddy gets his chain snatched!
cosign with 18. african boy
THATS WHAT 50 WEAK ASS GET!
TINA CAN CHILL
50 jumped in the audience too and I’m sure he got it back and messed up the skinny dude that took it lol. G-Unit for life
glad to hear from olivia, cant wait to hear the new material
the africans just wanted their jewels back…lol
im no big tina fan but hey the ppl still wanna see her and she still got it apparently, so go head wit ya bad self!
still Laffin, laffin while typin – on that 50 Cent Snatched Up incident!
p.s. — my friend, if you havent already notice, their was a lil boo boo, when you said it happen in South AFRICA, its was n ANGOLA!!
GO TINA TURNER–she rockzzzzzzzz
Who is Carlos Kin and why is she on said unknowns show? Wait. She’s a nobody.
Tina could scarcely move at the Grammy’s…she and Beyonce bored the shi* out of me.
50 blah blah blahh OVER!!!
Which is it? Angola or South Africa?
50 is so wack…jumping in the crowd like that. Isn’t that mess insured? Olivia is very talented….she deserves sucess. she can actually sing…unlike Rhianna
Go ahead then Tina! Get that money. Ur a better performer than half of these new acts out here anyways.
LMFAO @ 50. That was hillarious!!!! Fake ass thug!!!!
Cl please do something about your borders I cant read the comments because it cuts off the first few words of each comment!!!!
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.
yAY tINA IS MAKING A COMEBACK! i JUST WANT ALL THE GREATS TO MAKE A COMEBACK ALBUM AND KILLS THIS INDUSTRY WITH GOOD QUALITY MUSIC LIKE PATTI, GLADYS, CHAKA (EVENTHOUGH SHE GOT HER ALBUM), DIAN REEVES, ETC.
DON’T CARE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO 50.
OLIVIA IS STILL VERY PRETTY BUT THAT BLONDE DON’T SUITE HER. IT SHOWS TOO MUCH UNHEALTHY HAIR.
thats what 50 gets…that shit probably was real……and i hope olivia does her thing this time around..plllllllllllleasssssssse

BWS PROMOTOR Courtney
thats what 50 gets I HATE HIM ANYWAY LOL
GONE HEAD TINE GIRL
@43
I was wit u until u said Keyshia cole. Nah a Keyshia aint the best but she better then olivia
Haven’t been able 2 watch the vid yet since I’m @ work, but I knew she was gonna flop when she signed w that wack label. Nobody on there is gonna be successful but 50. And like we’ve seen w Buck n Game the min. anyone gets close he will kick them off! This is a blessing in disguise 4 her. Good Luck hun…ur gonna need it!
@ 43 I agree Oliva can actaully sing but lets keep ASHANTI out of this cause she can actually sing too…….Im so glad Oliva finally ventured out on her own cause i might just become a fan, I just didnt like her being with that ghetto a** ghutter butt G-UNIT
WHY SHUDNT HE BE ALL ICED OUT IN AFRICAN ..KMT…ND WER WOS HE COUTH AFRICA OR ANGOLA
Tina looks great.
Oliva just give up arlready.
50 no comment.
lmao!!! that was mad bold for the dude to jump on stage and snatch the chain like that.. but i dun understand why everyone in the back started running???
yoo olivia reminds me so much of my fren uhh i really hate that blonde hair i like the darka gold better for her that guy is hilarious tha interview didnt feel like one it felt like two old frens jus sittin round talkin i like him lol i always liked her so im lookin forward to tha real shit not tha sugar gum bullshit
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 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.
LMAO @ 50
Olivia sounds intelligent and she carries herself very well. Im glad she finally spoke about her situation cause i was getting tired of them making her look bad
I think Olivia really took the high road because she didn’t just try and come back hard and attack G unit. She gave them respect especially 50 cent on the dollar.
Tina looks great! Olivia has a great production/writing line up for the new album. Good luck to her! I still rock “Bizzounce” to this day.
@50 HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAAH!!! Wait wait *gasp gasp* HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH ok. Ok wait HAHAHAHHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHH!!!! Kharma is a bitch ain’t it?! HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
