TV ROUNDUP: TONI ON “DANCING WITH THE STARS” / SOLANGE GETS REAL WITH HOST / RAY J GETS DATING SHOW

Thursday, August 28, 2008

tbrax.jpg

After a health scare and various rumors of her participation have been all over the net recently, it has now been confirmed that Toni Braxton will be a part of the newest season of Dancing With The Stars. Her partner will be Alec Mazo, who also won the 1st season of the DWTS.

Dancing With The Stars’ 7th season premieres Monday, September 22nd, only on ABC.

SOLANGE GETS REAL WITH NEWS HOST

Solange Knowles, appeared on a Fox 5 news show in Las Vegas on Wednesday to discuss her new album that dropped earlier this week. Apparently the news anchor asked Solange’s reps if she could mention brother-in-law, Jay-Z in the interview, and the request was denied. I don’t think that message was relayed to Solange and she got real. Peep the video.

RAY J GETS SHOW ON VH1..

rayj.jpg

VH1 is looking for “single, beautiful women” who think they can turn singer Ray J, a tabloid-heavy playboy who has famously dated Whitney Houston and Kim Kardashian, into a one-woman man. Here’s VH1’s casting notice:

If you are over 21, single, and love the hip hop scene, we want to meet you. Dating a hip-hop artist can be a full-time job requiring not only looks but infinite amounts of smarts and stamina. So we’re looking for women who can handle the pressure that comes with being on the arm of a hip hop star including red carpet events, the paparazzi, and all the crazy fans.

Here we go again….

Solange…. PLEASE!!!!!! that was so uncalled fo andr it wasn’t even that serious, the news lady was just doing her job and i doubt she even wrote the intro herself so why is she trippin. Now shes gone and made herself look like a damn fool… and just for that she aint getting my hard earned cash… she needs to learn it costs NOTHING to be polite.

Next to MTV, VH1 has got to the #1 televised source of spreading communicable diseases and perpetuating stereotypes. Ray J, really?
Who wants to date a man who pees on people and kisses someone who had sex with Bobby Brown, eww.
This consent is tired. At least Luke’s show is entertaining.

On another note-Did I miss the posting of Dr. Dre’s son. I haven’t seen anything.

I do think she could’ve handled it alil bit better without the extra attitude but we really don’t know the whole story….

I got the feelin some dude she fuckin pissed her off and she taking it out on ppl. LOL

Solange’s outburst was uncalled for. Her sister is the reason why she is sitting in the chair being interviewed in the first place.

SOLANGE WAS WILDIN OUT FOR NO REASON…HER REP HAD ALREADY TOLD THE NEWS REPORTER NO TO ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT JAY-Z 40/40 MESS…AND SHE DIDN’T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THEM IN HER INTRO…SOOOOOO WHAT THE HELL WAS SOLANGE PROBLEM…MIGHT BE THAT TIME OF THE MONTH, HUH??

BUT I STILL LOVE YA SOL-GHETTO, I BOUGHT THE CD, AND THANKS FOR CONFIRMING THE “SECRET MARRIAGE”!!!

21.

annie.

Thursday, August 28, 2008 /

see, now if she hadn’t got pissed off for no reason she wouldn’t have been the one the mess up and reveal that jay-z is indeed her brother in law, yes we all knew he married beyonce but no one had actually come out with a definite confirmation.

you live and you learn solange.

—> LOVE me some Toni B. She is SO FIERCE & ages so well.

23.

UM...I GUESS

Thursday, August 28, 2008 /

ewww now im second guessing my support behind solange’s music project…shes a bit testy. that attitude was totally unnecessary (IMO). sure, celeb personal lives should be kept out of the public eye, but make sure you have all the facts together before you pop off with an attitude. THAT wasn’t very professional either…

as for all the other stories…WOMP

24.

Solange has a real attitude problem. I saw her being interviewed on a the This Morning Show in england and i thought then she was a bit stand offish then. Dont like her attitude at all. Michelle williams is very down to earth. Solange obvviously didn’t get the Matthew Knowles schoolin of public speaking…..

25.

Trixie

Thursday, August 28, 2008 /

Clearly So-long face wanted to show that she was “bad ass.” Another cheap theatrical stunt of the Knowles camp; “do something ‘bold’ and get attention for album”. Womp, womp. She is too whack right now.

26.

Trixie

Thursday, August 28, 2008 /

@b 24. Don’t you know that Mathew is behind Solange’s “bad ass attitude.” They’ve trained Beyonce to be the good girl in interviews and now they’ve trained Solange to be the “bad ass.” It’s just another gimmick of hers. These bitches are too obvious.

27.

Aries

Thursday, August 28, 2008 /

Im torn on the solange situation. I think she could have been a bit nicer to the anchor woman, but at the same time i can understand where she is coming from. I mean i know every one is like without Beyonce she wouldnt be where she is now but really i would probably get sick of answering questions about my sister n her love life too especially if i was there to promote MY album. Talk about what I am there for!

28.

>>>SOLANGE–FALL Back! She just left a bad taste in my mouth.

Thursday, August 28, 2008 /

-smh- Solange was just being rude and stupid. Yes she wants to get out of her sister’s shadow but that’s not the way to go about it. I mean she can’t get mad at people calling her Beyonce’s little sister….her sisters career is what is giving her a head start in the music industry which A LOT of people can’t get…SHOOT I’d be happy i was B’s little sister….she doesn’t realize the benefits and the opportunities she’s has gotten because of Beyonce

Beyonce’s little sister just made herself look like a complete ass. Doesn’t Beyonce’s little sister realize that the only reason the media is showing any kind of interest in her is because of her mega superstar big sister and they want the scoop on her big sis and brother in-law. Beyonce’s little sister has probably killed her career even before it got started. Don’t like Beyonce’s little sister and her whack ass anyway.

Ray J - no comment.

Tony Braxton looks great.

NEXT, to Solange. She needs to be glad somebody wants to interview her! Kudos to the reporter remaining professional inspite of Solange’s dry 30 second interview.

Toni is so tiny. Love her and hopes she does well on the show. I can so see her doing the rumba to one of her songs. That would be hot.

Ray-J a hip hop star?? In real life? With real people? Please tell me this is a early April Fool’s joke. He’s tried singing and acting and didn’t do well with either. Now he trying to be a reality tv star that wants to “settle down”. Give me a break- he needs to do a reality show called “Pseudo-Celebrity Clinic ” that follows him to the doctors while he gets tested from sleeping around. UGH

she also needs some speech classes.

Well I definitely do not agree with Solange’s approach to the issue.. Trippin… The News anchor was just asking if she could talk about JayZ.. and then she asked off air… well damn.. she was mad rude about it

@ Ann let’s not forget Supa Head and Ho Kardashian

Benjamin

Thursday, August 28, 2008 /

I bet Solange felt like an idiot after she was told it wasn’t live. You just gotta let it fly over your head Solange and carry through, because you have to understand that there are many people who still don’t know much about you yet, and by many watching this may take your personality the wrong way. The only one professional here was the interviewer, and she seemed like she wasn’t even the one who asked the Jay Z question. Ahh well, take some more courtesy lessons from Bey, it will take you far. But the album is good though.

Solange looked like an ass. That lady didnt even know what the hell she was talking about but she kept it moving instead of calling her a damn retard. Heffa be happy we can connect you with anybody because you would be NOBODY without the Beyonce connection.
She is more fake than Beyonce ever was. And that allbum is a mess. I dont care what anybody says, that “music” of hers is trash,gabbage,shitrocious.

I want to watch DWTS for Toni (she is still bad as hell) but if that gay guy will be dancing with another guy I wont be watching.

@ 36. You’re exactly right, People, her so-called “attitude” is all a part of the image she’s going for. She doesn’t have an attitude problem. Let’s stop giving her attention. She’s seeking fame by doing everything she can to become the anti-Beyonce. Notice that now, all of a sudden in her interviews she’s become Miss Laid back, casual and dry. NOT! Her and Beyonce aren’t all that much different (except for the fact that Bey is pretty and gifted). If it doesn’t come naturally, Solange, then stop trying to fake it. She doesn’t even play the bad girl role well. She stays looking scared and unsure of herself. You ain’t old school Mary or Keisha Cole.

43.

I’ve been trying so hard to appreciate Solange and her music. But its just so hard when she has such a nasty attitude. She IS the sister of the best female artist of our generation. She can’t keep getting upset about the comparisons and questions. She signed up for this. You’re still relatively a new artist, Solange. You have to humble yourself.

50.

Len

Thursday, August 28, 2008 /

Solange is trying so hard to get out of Beyonce’s shadow. This is part of her act to be the total opposite of her sister. It is a desperate attempt to get attention and people to buy her album. What a loser.

OK Solange i was with you with all this being different and what not but girl you need to just breathe. I think it was true professionalism from the interviewer though. i would have had to get her together with her irrelevant comments. she should be happy her name in anybody’s month at all.

Ray J is so lame! He needs to do something, the only song I’ve heard on the radio from his album was “Sexy Can I.” I wonder do these artist have back up plans when the music/acting career is in the toilet.

I’m sure he will be on the show clowning with his shirt off.

55.

LEE FATALE

Thursday, August 28, 2008 /

Solange is my girl…Love her music, style, etc. but she went 2 far with this one. That was a bit much during a live interview. She didn’t know who was watching that and has been turned off due to this interview.

I mean I understand trying to come into your own, but it’s almost to the point where she’s trying to be sooooooo different, that even her “different” personality will not be taken the same by everybody that sees you. But you can tell she felt stupid she was just like “Ok…” and Put her hand up on the seat…lol. IDK about that move.

Ray-J You’re a Wankster!

Go Head Toni!

56.

Smoothcriminal

Thursday, August 28, 2008 /

Toni is still sexy. I just hope the health issues end real soon.

Solange`s rep had already handled the situation so she should`ve just kept it movin`. However, I feel her. She wants her own identity and I don`t blame her. If reporters want to know about her sibling/family they should interview them. As far as I`m concerned I see NO icon with today`s generation of artist; not one. Show me a Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Madonna, Prince, Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder, etc. of this generation of artist. You can`t because there isn`t ONE..

Anyway, I`m rooting for Solange.

This is like the battle of the younger, less-famous siblings? Who’s whacker– Ray J or Solange? Solange, take a cue from Ray J. He’s been seeking stardom for like 15 years now and still…nothing. We’ll let you ride this Sol-Angel thing for one more week and after that, you’re outta here. Deal?

Awe. Solange has the Jan Brady syndrome and to top it all off, her album is going to flop because she doesn’t have the mainstream appeal. Poor girl.

To Solo- she messed up ya’ll go easy on her, she will learn from it. I still support her.

Dancing with the Stars has never been my show a litte boring for me but go head Toni, get them checks… And props for still looking like you’re in your 20’s

Solange is blank artist. Nobody is trying to hear the bubble gum azz music she’s trying to sell. She’ll be lucky if her album goes GOLD. She reminds me of Big bird from Sesame Street. She does not have the ”wow’ factor at all. I need some one to pass me an Alicia Keys cd now. I don’t like that her no talent ass trying to get sporty with the lady that interviewed her. To be truthfully honest I’m tired of Beyonce’s ass too. She’s trying to be a diva this early. HO SIT DOWN you are not Mariah Carey.

TEMPEST ? OHNO .

Thursday, August 28, 2008 /

AH, Beyonce and Solange both need interview coaching. That was unecessary and she was unprofesional as well. She really looked like the Hadley Street Dumbass this time around.

All she couldve said was “I dont feel comfortable answering those questions” or “It’s not really my place to answer questions about my family ties…” etc

Come on girl, im 16 and i got better sense than to pull somethin like that.

70.

Charisma

Thursday, August 28, 2008 /

I’ll actually be watching DWTS regularly this time, just because of Toni. I’m a huge fan. She’s my favorite singer. :)

@3- Why would she lie about having serious heart problems? The benefit would be what? Who would miss out performing and getting paid for their concerts in Vegas just to go to the hospital? You aren’t making any sense. SMH. Besides, she talked about her heart condition years ago on Oprah and in other interviews after that. It’s not like the mention of her medical condition suddenly came out of nowhere.

VH1 is the worst station for reality TV. They love exploiting foolishness. I won’t be watching Ray J’s show.

As far as the Solange clip, how was she to know the intro didn’t air? If I saw it on the screen, I would probably would have thought the same thing. She shouldn’t have said that on air though. She should have waited until she was off the air. Then the misunderstanding would have been settled privately and then she wouldn’t look silly in public accusing the station for something that didn’t actually happen.

71.

SHHH.....

>>>>she sounds so educatinal, just like her sister, they both need to get lessons

Aries

Thursday, August 28, 2008 /

I felt like she could have handled it better but how was she to know that what they said earlier wasnt live? I dont think she even heard the ladies actual introduction. She probably just heard them in the ear piece saying “your on” and just figured what ever they discussed earlier about Jay Z n Beyonce is what they really said. Still she could have handled it once the interview was over, but hey shit happens lol.

Anyhow The CD is quite good, i love 6′ oclock blues, , dancing in the dark, and this bird. Those 3 are on constant play right now lol

74.

Independent Woman (I don't care if ya get mad)

Thursday, August 28, 2008 /

Maybe she also got heated when the woman said “Ashely Simpson stepped out of her sisters shadow and now so is Solange Knowles”!! is that a good intro? hmmm not that was equally as rude!!! lol first she put her two places behind two white chicks and then behind her sister here is Solange Knowles hi Solange..lol….. whateva she put them in their place because she thought they mentioned Be and Jay on air but it was behind the scenes… oops her bad…lol.. flip em! get ya message out Solange…

I like her cd she grew on me lately with all her quirkiness and silliness!!! do you best and flip the rest Sola…lol..everyone isn’t going to like an artist but I do respect her for being Solange Knowles when randoms knock her creativity thru comparison.

IT WAS FUNNY TO WATCH, BUT ITS NOT THAT SERIOUS…I FEEL BAD ABOUT MY EARLIER POST AFTER READING SOME OF THE OTHERS
