Patti Turned Down Shug Avery Role
Steven Spielburg wanted Patti LaBelle to play Shug Avery in The Color Purple but she turned it down because of the same sex kiss between Shug and Miss Celie. Patti says, "I told Steven Spielberg I couldn't be in his film... I wasn't kissing a woman. I regret it because it was just acting. She (Shug) was in the tub, but it wasn't as bad as I thought. So after I saw the movie, I said, 'Maybe I shouldn't have gotten so nervous about doing something that's acting.' I should have shut up and just done the screen test and maybe I would have been Shug Avery."(Starpulse)
Why You Gotta Lie?
Whoever said Tracy Morgan was drinking in Las Vegas is a dirty liar. Tracy's alcohol monitoring device hasn't detected any alcohol in his system. So while he may have been acting a fool in Vegas last week, it wasn't because he was drunk. Do those things detect weed?(Page Six)
Another Jackson Memorabilia Auction Planned
The two-day auction of 1,100 pieces of Jackson family memorabilia brought in 1.5 million dollars. The biggest seller was a Michael Jackson suit jacket that sold for $22,800.00. The award Michael won for We Are The World sold for $20,400.00.
1.5 ain't that good considering the dude auctioning off the stuff paid 5 million for it plus 2 million having it shipped.

Ray J Snags Trojan Endorsement?
I don't know whether to believe this one or not. I mean, the quote came from Ray J's drug addled, rambling interview in Sister 2 Sister, but they saying Ray J about to endorse Trojan condoms. Didn't they see his crappy tape? That boy ain't using no condoms! Plus he's supposed to be sponsoring some new drink that stimulates you, like liquid Ecstasy, but over-the-counter. I swear, just when you think he can't get any sleazier...

Somebody Kidnapped Vanessa Williams Dog
Somebody stole Vanessa Williams' dog from her yard in Chappaqua, New York and she thinks it's the work of a dognapping ring. When she filed her missing pet report she told the cops she saw a suspicious looking man driving around her property and about how another dog, a blond dachshund named Gus, disappeared from the area on Mother's Day and hasn't been recovered, even though there's a $2,500 reward and a pet detective was hired. The sheriff thinks Vanessa's dog was kidnapped by a wolf. I just hope Michael Vick doesn't have anything to do with this.(comcast)
