Terrell Owens:NFL/Reality Show star was slapped with ANOTHER lawsuit (by the same baby mama) for not paying his child support. Melanie Paige Smith, in a civil suit filed Aug. 9 in Fulton Superior Court, alleges Owens has not paid child support for the month of August and has said he does not plan to make future payments.
The football player was ordered in May 2007 to pay $5,000 per month, according to the suit, which estimated his monthly income at $666,000. Owens made June and July payments only after being threatened with legal action, the document states. The 37-year-old Alabama native, who holds or shares several NFL records, is currently a free agent. He last played for the Cincinnati Bengals in 2010.
Smith and Owens have a 5-year-old daughter.

Single Ladies Cast - Enough Diversity??
I must re-visit the Single Ladies topic. Earlier I noted how wonderful it is to see black people portrayed in a positive light. I still stand by that. My only hang up is the lack in color diversity amongst the main female cast members.
So we have two white women (Charity Shea & Cassandra Clementi), a light-skinned black woman (Lisa-Raye) and a darker light-skinned woman (Stacey Dash). I’m going to go so far as to say it seems like there’s a brown paper bag rule for being in this clique (GASP; I said it).
Don’t get me wrong. I love all of them!! But, it would have been nice to see a Kelly Rowland type or Jill Marie Jones type (remember fiery Toni Childs from Girlfriends??) part of the main cast.
Obviously, casting crews carefully and meticulously choose what actors to cast in a show based off of many different factors (looks, acting ability, star power, etc.), but I wonder, just how much weight did the skin tone of the black women they selected carry…..Was the darker-skinned woman avoided or was it just by chance that only lighter skinned women made the cut for the main cast?

From our sisters at swagggirlicious:
After a much successful reality TV show, newly weds Toya and Memphitz have been appointed as the new faces of Ampro Pro Styl’s styling gel , Hip Hop Wired reports. The couple, who tied the knot this summer, will also be featured in the company’s global advertising campaigns.
Jack Sammons, President of Ampro Industries, said in a statement:
“At Ampro, we are impressed with Toya’s efforts to improve her life and the lives of those around her as documented on her reality television show, ‘Toya: A Family Affair,’ and in her inspiring book, Priceless Inspirations.
Similarly, we are proud of MeMpHiTz’ achievements. He’s a homegrown Memphis favorite who has become a success in the music industry with both Jive Records & his own imprints Hitz Committee and Do Work Enterprises. We feel the path he has taken in his career is one which should be a model for young artists and encouraged on a national level.”
This is a great look for the both of them. Congrats
