Jamal Tells All

By Jamal Kelly

It’s Official: The Boy is Monica’s.  Monica Shut Brandy down in a “Boy is Mine” reunion.
 
Former Teen Queens Monica and Brandy reunited, in ATL at a VH1 Soul Session, for an impromptu performance of “The Boy is Mine.  Though Brandy was present to promote her new CD “Human”, it was Monica who clearly stole the spotlight.  The song is SUPPOSED to be a mythical riff between the two, but it seemed that Monica took her role to heart, upstaging Brandy with vocals and audience participation.  Although the duo has squashed rumors of having beefs in the past, this recent performance may just bring speculations back to light.  SIDEBAR:  Why in the hell is Brandy mouthing the words to Monica’s verse???? 

Combs shares his Throne.  Diddy searches for Royalty.
 
Hey fellas, if you missed your chance at superstardom with Making the Band and I Want to Work for Diddy, you now have another shot.  Yes guys, Puffy is looking for the next KING. (really it’s just another gimmick to promote his new cologne, Puff we know your type).  Anyway, the I am King creator is accepting video auditions and submissions to discover the next King.  Basically all you do is upload a video to youtube explaining why your are, or deserve to be king.  Sean will select three finalist to be flown to NY first class, to receive the Royal Treatment.  Winners will enjoy deluxe hotel accommodations, dinner, car service, and a $500 shopping spree at….Drumroll Please…….SEAN JOHN! (Go figure)  *note:  Did yall notice that I attempted to incorporate all P Diddy’s current and former names???  Check the formal announcement on youtube.
 

 Speaking of kings, King James & Ice Cube link for a TV project

For Ice Cube, it’s his third television project. In 2006, he produced a FX reality show called “Black.White,” and has signed on as an executive producer for an upcoming cop comedy series for NBC.  Can we say SNOOZEFEST?…zzzzzzzzzz.  Sorry, I fell asleep for a second.
