Mo’Nique And Barbara Walters Fuss & Fight Rumors; Oprah Winfrey Takes Mo’Nique Shine?

Yes it has come and remains that Mo’Nique took home her Oscar for the movie Precious, and how precious, however, on another front, Mo’Nique may not have been as happy as she spoke with Barbara Walters.  Sources out of NYDN are stating that Mo’Nique was taking it to Barbara Walters  a bit during ABC’s Oscar night special.

Word is that Mo’Nique caught a Precious like attitude during an interview that was conducted  while having specific demands and all that yaddah yaddah.  Of course, all this talk is denied by both Walters and Mo’Nique, so you never can tell.  Truth be told, if Barbara and Mo’Nique say things are fine between them both, well, were is the rumor?  Tossed…but then again…was there a carry over rift from this 2006 interview with Mo’Nique on the View?  Watch the 2006 interview below where Barbara Walters was out of line:

Check Mo’Nique out at the Oscars with her win as Best Supporting Actress in Precious as she stands with Robin Williams below:

Throughout the whole Oscars event, Mo’Nique had to deal with those in the media who wanted to sock it to her for a recent snubs of shows for Precious where she didn’t show up.  Mo’Nique did address this issue at the Oscars by stating in general that she is glad to be a part of an Academy that won’t play the tit for tat games of get her for not being at this event or that event, but instead, judge on performance alone.

Off that and in other reports, Oprah Winfrey is said to have busted up Mo’Nique’s party. Poor Mo’Nique and all the drama. Anyway, for a minute, all the attention was said to have left Mo’Nique during a MAC cosmetics bash, according to Gatecrasher, and went to Oprah because she wasn’t necessarily invited but just popped on in for the heck of it. Trouble didn’t last long as Mo’Nique does have a way about herself…she will get the attention back which is what she did as she led a conga line out the front door!  Go Mo!

Sarah Palin Going Reality Show & Planning New Book

Where would this world be without a great laugh and a Sarah Palin to go along with it?  Honestly, you can’t just hate Sarah Palin.  Shoot, I know too many people who would get her to the primaries just to get some laughs in, however, would skip out on the winning vote…for sure.

PALIN CABINETAnyway, laugh on because soon we all may get to see Sarah Palin and family living their Alaskan lives on reality television.  Word is coming out of The Hollywood Insider that while Sarah Palin was doing the Leno thing and cracking jokes, she was also shopping around her reality show along with producer Mark Burnett.  Surprised?  Not really.  I have come to recognize that while Palin has people over here, she is always over there trying to get further in her career by soaking up all the attention she can get.  Joe the Plumber lost his 15 minutes already…though he still tries.

Right now, it isn’t a for certain thing if the networks will pick up Palin’s reality show as of yet because word is some like it and some give it the dumps, but the future will tell all.

Meanwhile, Sarah Palin is already working on that new book after Going Rouge.  The book centers American virtues and strengths, and while it remains untitled, it is sure to sell like crazy as Going Rouge did, selling over 2 million.

Mz Berry of For The Love Of Ray J Writes Personal Letter To Ray J (View)

Dear Ray,

I know that you and I are clear on where we are along this journey together, but I get a lot of questions about us…especially after that reunion show fiasco…and thought it wise to openly express my thoughts and feelings – for clarity’s sake, for honesty’s sake, for peace’s sake.

Mz Berry aka Connie DeVeaux

Mz Berry aka Connie DeVeaux

This is exactly how the letter starts, word for word, that Mz Berry has openly written for the world to see directed to Ray J of For the Love of Ray J. We all are well aware that Mz Berry won the second season of For the Love of Ray J, only to be left stunned during the reunion fiasco. There was so much drama that reality viewers have found ourselves wondering…what is the deal? Well continue on reading Mz Berry’s blog, and below are my personal faves from the letter:

For us, that reality is that you love me for what I represent now, and I love you for who you’re destined to be.

There’s not a lot in your life and current lifestyle that would push you to change and grow. I get that. But there is something in your spirit that’s calling out to and longing for change. I stand here as a symbol of what that change may look like…once you’re truly ready.

The thing that I like about Mz Berry is that she is real enough to put it out there. In that last quote I took from the letter, Mz Berry even shows how she has been there and done that, but overall, Ray J has that great space to move and maneuver back her way…of course…when he grows up and out of that lifestyle.

Kim Zolciak Has Gone “Joneses”; Acting Opposite Demi Moore

Just what the heck is this world coming to?  See, there is this movie coming out called The Joneses starring Demi Moore and David Duchovny, right, and the movie seems hilarious as it’s about just that— keeping up with the big lie called the family, or unit, The Joneses.  Just catch the clip of the trailer.

Anyway, why was I reading up on things and bam…Kim Zolciak is in the dog on credits.  Yes indeed. Kim has her first major motion picture role.  Can this lady move around in Hollywood or what?  Kim goes from Poppa’s chick, to her wig line, to Tardy For the Party with Kandi Burruss backing, and now a dog on actress that is rumored to be officially lesbian, palling around with DJ Tracy.  She said she would shovel s—, but she hasn’t had to yet to get that Dolce & Gabbana.

This type of stuff doesn’t and can’t happen to everybody.  Kim’s got a secret.  Check her below in the movie still.  I actually do think Kim Zolciak will do great in this movie, however long the part.  Why?  Chick loves the camera.
