Moment of silence for my boy Luther Vandross who passed today. RIP Luther!...........Okay, now you didn't think I could possibly pass up commenting on Terri McMillian's "humiliation" did you? *Especially* in light of Pheebs latest 'revenge' posting on an English shorty who got fed up with the antics of her radio DJ husband and put his car up for bid on eBay for 50 pence (about 88 cents US)! That's JACKED up! It's serendipity, y'all. Here we have Terri McMillian - successful author and idol to millions of shortys after publishing Waiting to Exhale (ultimate shorty revenge movie) and How Stella Got Her Groove Back - the story based on her own romance with a young Jamaican homeboy who six years later has decide to add a delicious twist to the perfect popcorn romance...
Long story short, girl (Ms. McMillan on the right) meets boy (Jonathan Plummer) half her age, boy turns girl out, girl marries boy and brings him to the US, boy becomes US citizen, six years later boy realizes he's gay, girl files for divorce, boy tries to get prenup overturned so he can collect some of girl's loot, girl goes postal and verbally bashes her 'fag' boy in court filings. For the detail oriented readers, here are the actual factuals. South siders have a term for homeboys who are married to women but sneak out to have sex with other homeboys. It's called being on the Down Low and it appears that's where Terri's man's been all these years. Me - I'm a little dubious that someone can just wake up one day and suddenly 'realize' they're gay. I'm with Terri that it all seemed to be a sham to get into the US and get citizenship but what do I know about true love? Calling all shortys - let this be a cautionary tale. If you're feeling down and blue - don't pout on a Jamaican beach and if you do and a studly Jamaican rasta boy half your age steps to you and you think it's too good to be true - it probably is. Be careful that it's not me ganga talking...
There are a few positives that came out of all of this. 1) Terri's movies brought foine Angela Bassett into the spotlight. 2) Stella was Taye Diggs' breakout movie (though he really hasn't had one since so he broke out and broke back in with the same movie...) which led to him getting the clout to get a greenlight on my (canceled) show - Kevin Hill which featured foine shorty Michael Michelle. 3) Taking a page from Angela Bassett's Bernadine Harris character in Waiting to Exhale who put all her cheating husband's clothes in his beemer and set it on fire, the late, great Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopez put all her cheating boyfriend's clothes (former ATL Falcon receiver Andre Rison) in his bathtub and set them on fire. Unfortunately the tub she thought was marble turned out to be fiberglass and she ended up burning down homeboy's mansion. What's positive about that, you ask? I never liked Andre Rison's showboatin' a** :-)Peace@Least,
