BLIND ITEM: (MONSTER-REARING IT’S UGLY HEAD?)
Like Whitney Houston, she disregarded her instrument (her voice), in favor of drug abuse.
In her heyday, she was the ultimate party girl who got paid in drugs (cocaine and heroin) instead of cash.
She partied with David Ruffin, Rick James and Ike Turner.
She participated in orgies and same-sex liaisons.
Despite the anonymous sex, she still had feelings for a former NBA superstar (the best sex of her life) but he wasn’t interested in rekindling the romance.
She was known for sending her personal assistant on drug runs until she quit.
She was also involved with a Bay Area kingpin (Oakland Hills). Although she could afford drugs, she enjoyed being a “strawberry,” defined as: Trading sex for drugs. This good time girl enjoyed being illicit.
When she hit rock bottom, she was spotted at an crack house in South Central.
She had snorted so much cocaine that she developed nasal damage (a burning sensation). She turned to heroin (injection).
One evening, in the midst of a cocaine fueled party, she was chasing the dragon and got sloppy, she did the unthinkable and shared a needle.
According to rumors, she allegedly has “the monster.”
That’s why her appearance is so shocking.
Who is she?
Could this be Natalie Cole? If not, my second guess is Chaka Khan.
Natalie Cole!.. Slept with Dr. J in college…
Dr. J had a black country club in Atlanta, it went belly up. He has this new super young wife, they wanted her for the Housewive show but he forbade it. He had like two kids outside his marriage with Turquoise and she was in Teddy’s car when it crashed, they rushed her from the scene.
This sounds like Natalie Cole. I say that because when u hear her talk she always sound like she has a nasal issue. I’m just glad she’s done with her drug problem, too bad she didn’t have a talk with the late Whitney Houston maybe just maybe she could have said some thing that would have helped Whitney.
I
agree
its
Natalie
Cole.
Yeah, Natalie got nasal issues, she was out there, she was even in a hotel fire in Vegas, a lot of people died of smoke inhalation but she survived, a lot of people died. She is scandalous, tries to come off classy in gowns and what not, but like Nippy, she got demons.
I heard Ike and Yasmin Bleeth had nose problems from coke.
OMG The last time I saw a pictureof Yasmin Bleeth she looked nothing like her once upon a time pretty self. She looked like she was beating someone’s fist with her nose and her nose lost
Yes, I thought they had mixed up the pictures, whew
I know this is not funny to say but maybe the reason she didn’t die in that hotel fire was because she can inhale coke she can inhale smoke from a fire
She said on Oprah that when she and the guy who was with her during the fire that since it looks like they may doe anyway to have sex with him, and she told she turned him down and she’d rather get high
She also told Oprah that once she was arrested and had drugs on her and hid the drugs between the seat in the back of the police car and memorized the car number of the police car so later she might come back and break into the car to get the drugs
She was REALLY messed to think she could do that and get away with it
Soul to the Train where u b? How u doin?
I be here, what it be like?
Hidoll, did you ever see the film Pinky, came out around the time of Imitation of Life with Ethel Waters.
Yes I did it this is the one with Jean Crain playing a black woman passing for white
I do believe this is Natalie. I saw the picture of her coming out of the restaurant and you couldn’t help but feel sorry for her because she probably can’t feel sorry for herself. I know the rumor was she had hep c but we all know its not. I just pray she gets right with God because she is already at death’s door.
Natalie should have never went out to dinner looking like that. The Paps hang out at Mr. Chow all day, every day. If you are a celebrity and want to announce your relationship, show up at Mr. Chow, leave, and the paps will snap away and your relationship will be on page one of the tabs.
I noticed that Blackplaymate. The tabloids stay at Mr. Chows.
I read Natalie’s book, I was done, after she got high, she lost track of her baby and he almost drowned. The maid had to dive in and save him, think the lack of oxygen stunted his growth then one of her husbands was beating her ass and would go in Natalie’s sons room and punch him in the chest.
@ Diva
she should have stop using drugs soon after that day because the woman who jumped in to save her son Robbie couldn’t swim
I hope she’s still friendly with the maid who saved her son
She tarnished her dad’s legacy, nobody respects druggies and they damn sho don’t respect druggies who shoot up, she was so gone, her mom had to become the guardian of her son. Like I said, nobody respects druggies, that’s why they didn’t flock to see Whitney in her last film.
Diva, I didn’t run to see the remake because I don’t care to see remakes. I don’t want to be disappointed. On the top of my head ‘Imitation of Life’ is the exception–the remake was better than the original.
Imitation of Life is one of my all time favorite movies and every time it’s on I have to watch it
I don’t care for remakes either but that the remake of Imitation of Life was the best
Hidoll, the Lana Turner remake is a true classic! I sob every time Mahalia Jackson sings.
OMG I know right? Every time that scene is on I have my kleenex ready.
That movie was the best the first time time I saw it I think I was 7 and I cried then 2
I just took another look at the Bossip picture of Natalie Cole and she reminds me of the time Whitney Houston was bone thin on that Michael Jackson special
Imitation of Life is outstanding, Mahalia’s voice has so much emotion, you know it’s coming and you still cry. Talent right there. Instead of remaking Sparkle they should have funded a quality black movie. Mark Epps wasn’t convincing as Satin.
Imitation of life is one of the best old movies I’ve ever seen.
lawd, you & my sister should watch that together. She’s cries like a baby everytime during the funeral. I can’t cry from laughing at her LMAO!
Very True!!!
Hey All,
I believe this is Natalie Cole as well. Check this out it was recent. Man!
http://bossip.com/?s=Natalie+Cole&x=0&y=0
OMG I just checked out the recent photo of Natalie Cole and she’s skin and bones.
That looks like a sickness skinny, maybe even from not eating.
I mean she’s never been heavy but that there looks like she’s going through something.
Poor woman I pray that in the next few months we don’t read she’s in hospice
Natalie ain’t well. Skin and bones. It caught up with her like it’s going to catch up with Chaka and Mikki.
Talk about a physical downfall, whoa. Not surprised, she loved getting high, glad she got clean but it might have been too late.
*smh* very heart breaking. I don’t know why some people turn to drugs they see the damage that it does to so many people including their loved ones.
Hey Mayor, How have you been? WOW that Pic speaks volumes. My goodness, she’s skin and bones.
Hey Shasfreespirit, I am good how are you?
Mr. Mayor in the house, how are you?
Hey Black Playmate! I am good and you?
I recall a previous BI which implied how far gone Natalie was. She always had a small frame and never had any sick weight. She now must be in denial about her appearance or she would have stayed away from the cameras. Now I have to read her book…always wondered why her son was so short.
Natalie had a secret life in Las Vegas. Derek Jeter has a secret life in Las Vegas. What’s done in Vegas stays in Vegas.
I’ve heard that too
I saw the pic of Natalie Cole from Bissop my Lord. My heart sank x-( very sad. Her wild lifestyle caught up with her.
Natalie, Natalie, Natalie. Had the nerve to diss Amy Winehouse, said she shouldn’t have won Grammy’s because of her drug history, what about you? When you started out, you showed up high as hell at your showcase.
I remember that too and I thought she had a nerve she should have been a lot more supportive since back in the day she was Amy’s age and doing the same thing if not worse
One thing we can say about Wendy Williams is she’s has no problems admitting about her drug days. A few times on her show Wendy has shown pictures of Whitney saying she could tell she’s still using
I wonder if she’ll ever call Natalie out
Hi..doll! How are you?
I’m good thank you Mayor how are u
I remember Natalie Cole went on the record saying that..people who live in glasses houses should never throw stones. Natalie should have reached out to Amy Winehouse in private.
I agree she tends to forget we someone reached out for her and had her back.
Rather then say bad things she should have been supportive. That’s what I though ex drug users do reach out to others when they see someone going through what they went through
But I guess she’s takes after her mom and is too high and mighty and looks down her nose rather then help
Pebbles never impressed me, all about looks with her. I believe she ripped TLC off like she ripping her church followers off. Always heard she was a con woman and that holy water she sells, I heard is tap water. Damn, Nina had a temper, never knew she was gangster.
Pebbles got a bad history, she was with some drug dealer named Antoine before she got with a rich sugar daddy, from there, she got with L.A. Reid. Heard she still visits the drug dealer in prison, he used to beat her ass but she loved him the most.
I noticed some women who are/were abused tend to still love their abusers. I will never understand if I lived to be 100+ years old Blackplaymate.
Let me butt in, rihanna is a good example. They stupidly think violence equal love.
Hey Gorgeous! How are you?
Hi Mayor, how are you stranger?
I never was impressed by Pebbles either. I say the “holy water” she sells it from the hose in her back yard. Ha-ha or like u said Soul Train tap water from the sink in her kitchen or bathroom
Ike was so scandalous, he in Nostalgia and the blind item. Bob Marley, always thought his death was suspicious like Hendrix and Cary Grant was always too close to his stepson, something seemed fishy.
This neeeegro didn’t understand why the women in his life kept trying to kill themselves. Really?
Hey Trinity!
Sup Mayor!
Lol, darling, Ike will drive any woman to the edge. Talk about denial.
Hey Fam! Good FP, you always see Usher around Atlanta with Shaw, they’re best friends and Shaw is no joke. King of Diamonds put a hurting on Magic City and Onyx strip clubs in the ATL. KOD took it to another level. The girls love Nelly.
Dateline had on Sandy Bentley, this blonde twin playmate. Always wondered about the scandal around her, was shocked, she was involved in trying to fence a milli in bling from her sugar daddy who she left Hef for. New bouncer bf tried to fence him, he was executed by gunshot, him and his friend. Whoa, blew me away, she was so stuck up, her and her twin. Now she’s living way below standards, driving a car that looked like a Camry.
Natalie Cole used to party with Richard Pryor and the Pointer Sisters up at his mansion, I don’t need to tell you what went on at these parties, I think you already know.
@ Black Playmate
lets play like we don’t know what went on at those parties and u give us the details. Feel free
Good morning darlings, I get that Tameka is filing a appeal but my question is, why didn’t she fight for custody for her other sons? She always treated her sons with Usher like they were the golden gooses. Even on Twitter, she posted pics of them, Tameka never posted pics of her other sons. Imo, its all about the child support, that’s why she’s going down with a fight. I sympathize that she lost a son but its hard to feel sorry for her. She spends more time on Twitter than she does with her children.
Hold up! GS, did she leave her other sons with her ex-husband when Usher married her? If that is the case, I don’t empathize with her if she walked away. I birthed one and I would have done and still will do anything for him. I certainly can’t imagine leaving him when he was a child. I do empathize she and her ex’s lose of their son. How could she have walked away?
Hey Caramel, Tameka has five sons and abandoned her first husband and three sons for Usher. Her husband retained custody. She married Usher, had two more, just lost primary custody of them. She doesn’t have primary custody of any of her children.
Okay. I have a entirely different viewpoint for Tameka’s situation for the loss of her two sons by Usher. She now has 100% time to devote to her business ventures. Good luck to her.
These celebs sho like to tweet. Twitter went down a couple of weeks ago I bet the suicide hot lines blew up in Cali
Ha-ha good one Trinity
LOL
GS, Her giving her other sons to her ex may be the reason she lost this case. Why did she give the others to her ex but now she wants to keep these two? MONEY!! I wouldn’t be surprised if we later found out she and her ex are in it together. I don’t think Usher has anything to worry about and Tameka is just making noise and going thru the motions trying to get that check. That is all she wants. We know it.
Tameka a sad case, her game is weak, everyone can peep it. She left Ryan and three shortys to get usher. She still ain’t over him, got a taste or famous dick and rich lifestyle and lost her ever loving mind. Can’t let go, bitter and angry, wanting custody for the money not for the love of the children. Stalker for life, he’s going to have to take out a restraining order on her, she feels entitled for life, it got taken away, she ain’t going quietly.
I totally agree!
Sadly I think it is Natalie Cole, just saw a picture of her last week and it was SHOCKING, she was so tiny and she just looked bad.
Natalie Cole destroyed her life with drugs, its caught up with her. Hope she recovers.
you can’t recover from the monster
Yeah, that’s the monster that never dies. U can keep it at bay but it never dies
Hidoll22,
it just keeps on giving.
Fast ass girls still going raw dawg with these thugs refusing to wear condoms and popping out babies nine months later for that mothers day check, they risked their life for. Sad state of affairs, feeling invincible, face reality with the aids stats.
Damn, sparkle fell out of the top five, the lowest grossing movie in the top five grossed 6.5 million, so I guess sparkle grossed five million or below, damn shame in its second week. Can we say flop. Too bad for the investors.
I guess Sparkle didn’t sparkle
For some reason, I have absolutely no interest in seeing this movie. I can wait for it to come on tv. Even then, I don’t have to see it the first time it airs. I have nothing against the actors, I just have no interest.
I guess nobody else was interested in seeing it either.
One of my friends said “Sparkle” okay.
The year MLK spoke out about the Vietnam war he was assassinated too
I got 50 that breezy & bow got a room after the club (all hot & bothered)
Soul Trainnnnnnnnnnnn!
now natalie was said to have had a kidney transplant. to my knowledge they do not do transplants on people with diseases like HIV and or AIDS.. they do give dialysis but not transplants.. i had heard years ago she had been sick but it was said her first hubby was gay. wow she sure fucked up her life.her dad made sure she and her family had the good life.. people like that always seem to end up on drugs.. whitney’s mom sang back up for elvis among othert things so whitney could not have wanted for too much either.. all that talent put to waste.. very sad..
We really don’t know what type of surgery Natalie had, now do we? Her dad endured so much for his family only to have them turn out like this. So sad.
Ain’t no happy endings with life long drug abuse.
Natalie never had any kidney transplant. She definitely has AIDS. She was one of our study subjects in a clinical trial study for a newly developed AIDS drug and the press was told it was a kidney transplant. She was so pitiful…
Dang.
Love your posts Stephanie, keep dropping the heat!
I rememberwhen someone in the medical field confirmeddarius on the old board after a blind had been posted, Wendy announced the same blind and the news got all over the country. If this is true, I hope with it being out, it saved potential future lives.
It doesn’t appear the clinical trial drug is working. She should have called Magic. Whatever regime he is on, it’s working!
Don’t let the media fool you, it was more to Jesse Jackson, Jr.’s extramarital affair with (blonde) Giovana Huidobro-than what meets the eye. You can draw your own conclusion.
Hm…..weird now they are saying Jesse Jackson Jr is bipolar all of the sudden. Now granted mental illness is not something any and everyone wants the public to know…very strange though. I wonder if Giovana Hudiobro has anything to do with these strange things happening with Jesse Jackson Jr.
Tyler Perry is making waves no doubt about it he is very talented. Similar to MJ the more powerful you become the powers that be….
Jessie Jr. Loves white women like his no good daddy. Heard daddy is in to other things besides women, my cuz worked essence one yr and said Jessie acted smitten with some young dude. My cuz ain’t known to lie.
Didn’t Jesse Sr. have a scandal involving him and a young man a few years ago?
Well maybe thats whats up with the son.. could this blonde be a tranny.. ?
U know what, that’s a damn good theory, for real.
It would not surprise me if she is one Dwelesmom.
Messy Jesses.
I don’t put much passed the to Jesse’s Sr and Jr the fruit don’t fall far from the tree, like father like son, birds of a feather, two peas in a pod
Not to mention I’m sure his old man is giving him tips
I’m not much of a Steve Harvey fan at, especially after an encounter we had with him at the Houston airport. He’s a real asshole, anyway…I hadn’t planned on seeing the movie based on his best selling book but I let my best friend talk me into it and I think that movie was better than all of Tyler Perry’s Ma Dear movies put together. I got up early just to get my copy of the DVD that came out today.
Thank you girl thats the truth! Steve Harvey’s movie was waaaayyy better than any Tyler Perry movie I have seen yet! I want the DVD too.
I did enjoy the movie “Act Like A Lady…Think Like A Man”.
I believe that Steve Harvey being an a-hole he strikes me as the type who if u went to him and asked for an autograph or just say hi, he’d give u a “don’t bother me look”
I like Ced much better
I have read more than once that Steve Harvey is a butt hole.
I just walked past the TV where someone is watching a boxing match on HBO I think. As I passed by, they were fan camming an older black former boxer, whose name I didnt catch, but I stopped bc there was a very very young looking attractive young lady I noticed, who immediately turned her head while the camera was on him and kept it turned like she didnt want to be seen. Very cute girl, looked like she was his date or escort.. then I remembered something I read on here about a former boxer (older) dating this young girl and all the others who were trying to snatch her.. I wonder.. Talk about big time DejaVu!
Dwelesmom, and there u have it, that’s why PR has haters, they’re too good and accurate. First sign that u doing the damn thing is when u have haters, u must be doing something right. Plenty of the blinds have come true like mariah being a wino and trina beating the hell out of her ex, and a whole bunch others. That’s why PR’s blinds are the only blinds announced on black radio across the country, credibility. When u too good and accurate, haters and competitors come out the wood work, they want what u have or they bash u and copy what u have.
Mariah has a halo on her head now. Before she married and and had her twins, she was a falling down drunk who had slutty ways. A friend of mine’s son was her body guard for awhile….On another note, at least Natalie Cole’s mother took her to court and got control over her daughter’s finances when she was buck wild. I’m not aware that Whitney’s mom did such a thing. At the very least she could have gotten Bobbi Christina out of that drugfest her parents were in. Just saying…
OK PR, Please re-post that BI…I am dying to know who the boxer was…LOL
I didn’t know so many ex playmates died such horrible deaths. The only one I knew of was Dorothy Stratton
And I have watched Gene Simmons Family Jewel and I swear Gene has some brother in him with his rough looking hair
Remember to include Marilyn Monroe.
I read Rick James book, he used to mess with Shannon tweed and hated gene Simmons
gene simmons is hebrew..
that explains the hair.. his grand ma and greatgrandma died in the gas chamber.. grandma did not want her to be alone so she went in on her own.. sad story.. gene takes care of his mom and he also took care of his sorry ass father who left him at age 2. .i liked his show.. who didn’t rick james sleep with?? lol..
Gene does take care of his loving mom. Shes cute when he calls or comes over she calls him “My darling son”
On one of his shows he met his bothers and sisters he didn’t know he had it was touching
Mr Marcus contradicting himself all over the place. Which one is it – “I can honestly say I haven’t caught anything in a while.” or “So, no. The answer to your question is no”?
U noticed that to? He double talking and lying his ass off, no telling what that ninja got and I bet this ain’t his first std. People need to realize, std’s weaken Ur immune system for other infections like hiv. He a nasty broke down slutty ninja.
We have a joke among the veteran guys that we build up such an immune system where my body gets so used to chlamydia or gonorrhea that we don’t even notice we got it; [our bodies] just gets rid of it for us. That’s the joke: we don’t catch anything.
If this ain’t this stupidest mess I have ever read *smh*. Very disturbing coming from a grown man.
He is a mess Trinity.
Ain’t surprised nicci Gilbert getting cut from R&B diva’s, heard she always had a stank attitude, she love being ghetto like Lisa ray and vivica. She a true middle aged hootrat. Heard one of the brownstone replacements was suspect and nicci hit the roof and forced her out. Guess she homophobic if its true. Her ass need to call jhud
Regarding the murder of the Carl “Bubba” Parker,/ Bobbie Jo, family: I followed that story- the appeals court halted the execution of the 2 men at the communities expense, adding insult to injury. Completely horrible. I feel so bad for that family and the community. As a Black person, I can definitely say that folks in the south have tortured Black people for years and we all feel some kind of way about it, but what those men did is unthinkalbe, unspeakable…although, whites have been doing this same crime to Blacks for years and getting away with it
Those two sicko’s on this front page looks like the type that would do such a horrible thing. It’s crimes like that when someone do sick things the person should be put in a hole up to their head in a dry hot ass place and let red ants and snakes eat at them. Maybe strung up over a huge boiling hot pot of oil and lowered
The thing those tow did was just sick
Special Report on the death of Chris Lighty! On the Front Page now!
http://panachereport.com/index.html
Young, handsome, well-off & future headed straight up – what give?
something real off
Damn, just heard the Lighty FP info on the radio, they shouted out PR as source.
Robin Roberts has my sympathy. Her Mom died yesterday. Wow, she has to be strong to come through this. She is definitely in my prayers.
Sorry to hear that, poor robin going through it.
There are three kinds of people in the entertainment industry:
1. Those who do what they’re told without questions.
2. Those who control them.
3. Those who refuse to play the game and suffer the consequences.
This is scary without a question. The entertainment business is cut-throat. I am in some way a believer in the conspiracy theories.
This what I love about my PR spot. When this story broke, black blogs just did a copy and paste from TMZ like they usually do, lazy ass journalism, blacks act like TMZ is they savior wire service for black news, wtf, shouldn’t black bloggers be on top of black news instead of waiting on the white man to copy and paste from? PR came correct and gave us something fresh, another angle. This morning black blogs still copying from the man reporting on Chris, read black blog posts that originated from the huffington post, l.a. times, perez Hilton and so on. Damn, black bloggers to trife to investigate, research news on their own black celebrities, damn shame.
Lighty creeping black but married white. How bone crusher got a woman is beyond me and to have five shortys, hell naw, she was brave.
