Weekend Fix: Possible Plagrism, Wigs and MORE Gold Digging
Published by Dior Noir on Friday, August 21, 2009 at 3:00 pm.
Remember that “well written” blog post we told you about that Tameka Foster wrote about the plights of being dark skinned? Well BV Buzz reports that blog post may have been plagiarized! According to the article author Aisha Curry, who wrote the book ‘Pretty For a Black Girl’ read the piece and had the sinking feeling that she had seen it before…because she wrote it. “Why did I feel so connected to this article? Suddenly, it came to me. It was my work! It was my work, my voice, but in her words,” Curry said. “The only difference between her article and my book is she used ‘dark-skinned’ and I used ‘Black.’”
Curry’s 96-page pocket-size book, which was self-published in March 2008, though Tameka’s reps deny she ever saw the book before writing the article. I guess the topic at hand is one that many women of color have struggled with, so it’s not like Tameka couldn’t have come up with the topic on her own, but after some of the letters I’ve seen that Tameka has written bloggers in the past, I was a little surprised at her poise with the pen in that blog. I’mjustsayin.
Wigging Out
Did you see the Real Housewives of Atlanta last night? Luckily no one tried to pull Kim Zolciak’s hair out, but on the internet this morning for some reason, people were still wondering if those shiny blond locks are real. If there was any confusion Kim’s hair is a wig! Not only did she reveal this on the season one reunion, she keeps addressing it in interviews and supposedly even has a wig line that’s coming out soon. Last night Kim appeared on Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live and some un-aired footage hit Bravo.com where the two extensively talked about Kim’s extensions. “So literally it’s woven in?” Cohen asks. “No I just put it on honey!” Kim said of her wig. She did admit that there’s several pictures out there of her at the beach with her real hair and she said “my natural color is black” (surprise, surprise). Not sure why everyone is so fascinated by Kim’s hair piece, it’s not like everyone else on that show hasn’t dabbled in some Yakki (I mean even Kandi had a piece glued in the front of her short bump and curl before the photo shoot on yesterday’s episode!). Let the girl have her Barbie weave.
All About the Benjamins
Kelis still can’t keep her hands out of Nas’ pockets! It wasn’t enough for her to receive a nearly $55,000 child and spousal support settlement after her divorce, according to TMZ, Kelis’ lawyer Laura Wasser has filed documents requesting that Nas pay $281,571 in retroactive spousal support and $29, 522 in retroactive child support. But, that’s not all: because Nas makes over $244k per month, Wasser believes Kelis is entitled to $72, 728 in spousal support and in the future, $17,225 a month in child support. Ok now I am saying she’s a gold digger! Kelis is really trying to take a brother for all he has! There’s no way baby Knight Jones needs all that money, though note to self: put Laura Wasser’s name in my rolodex for the future….just in case!
I DON’T THINK SHE IS DOING ANYTHING WRONG, DUE TO THE FACT THAT WHEN SHE WAS PREGNANT HE TREATED HER LIKE XXXX. AND HE STATED THAT HE WOULD NOT GIVE HER SXXX, AND HE DISRESPECTED HER AND HER SON BY SAYING HE DOESN’T EVEN NO IF THE CHILD IS HIS. THAT’S SOMETHING HE COULD HAVE KEPT BETWEEN HIM AND HIS FAMILY, NOT THE WORLD. SO I SAY FXXX HIM!
this judge should be ashamed of then self kelis is a singer she dont need all that money from nas that is not right if she singer better song she may get more money they only have one child together that why black women cant get black men to marry us in the first place money hungry it a sad day today nas u need better lawyer
I’m 36 & know with our economy in this depression, recession kellis needs to take the ?£!~ looty live care “4″ that prodigy son & make a new album move on. I wish i & nas were an item! Get a life kellis in this corrupt real world.
I agree that she should get what they need; taking care of a child is by no means easy.
Not hatin’ or anything, but doesn’t Tamika look weird in this photo? Not her best look @ all. Please put more flattering pics of her up here, please?
I think that he needs to pay up. Nas put her through bull and she deserves every dime. And I thought Nas retiered. When was the last time he put out a hot track
Now about Tameka. She is old enough to be Usher mom. And Im glad it did not work. How could he leave Chile for Tameka. Usher is toooooooo fine to settle down.

Weekend Fix: Bet Networks
I really don’t know why people are paying this character any attention she is not worthy!!!
I dont know why everyone is stating that Kellis is a gold digger. First and formost, Men have always did women dirty, and now that there is a women out there, that wants to make sure that this man gets what’s coming to him, everyone is stating that she is wrong. And about the child, He should be ashame to now state that he does not know if the child is his, what ever happened in the private lives, if it had not went wrong, he would not be stating something like that. I dont know why when men break up with a women, they then dont want to be responsible for their children? SO for all the women out there, Please make sure that both parties are in for a long relationship, sometimes after 2 or 3 years,,,,,,,
lol Kelis is a character with herself. There must be a substantial reason for her child support advantage. Nas is right too though, age of the child makes the decision aside of personal income for both. The class system also poses a effect. Both are great artist though
.
HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE A WOMAN SCORNED. DESPITE WHAT THE ISSUES WERE LEADING TO THE DIVORCE, SHE WAS CARRYING HIS CHILD, THEY WERE TOGETHER TOO LONG FOR ALL THIS MESS! PPL NEED TO LEARN TO PUT THIER DAM DIFFERENCES AND DISLIKES ASIDE WHEN CHILDREN ARE INVOLVED. LEARN TO BE CIVIL…DAM!
Regardless of wot the situation is, Kelis shld be considerate, money is important, but it looks like its all she wants and she is being greedy.
Kelis seems to be too greedy and it seems like she is a gold digger. I wish they resolve it amicably and settle tis public squabble.
Honestly I loved Nas and Kelis as a couple and would really like to know what the hell went wrong. They seemed liked they truly loved each other…now about that Kelis…um..lets just say that she got pregnant at the perfect time. A couple months later and she would have missed her meal ticket…I do belive she deserves money for her kid but thats it. Women always want a man to pay…you slept with and married him so you knew what you were getting into. People dont change the situation has to and if you want someone to resepect you then you have to earn it. From the jump Nas supported her and its not like he ruined her career. What are you bringing to the table…nothing…and therefore you get Nothing…
YOU KNOW I SEE WHY SOME MEN HAVE THEM TO SIGN PRENUPS. IS SHE MAKING HIM PAY BECAUSE HER CAREER IS NOT WHAT IT SHOULD BE OR WHAT HE DID NOT DO. FIRST OF ALL IF SHE IS THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH TO PLEASE HER. IT STARTED WITH HER NOT HIM, YOU HAVE TO LOVE YOURSELF FIRST.HAPPINESS START WITHIN THEN IT SPREADS,MOST WOMEN LOOK TO BE FULL FILLED
BY A MAN WHICH I THINK IS CRAZY. AT THE END OF THE DAY THE LAST PERSON YOU SEE IN THE MIRROR IS YOU AND MONEY IS NOT THE SOLUTION. I NOTICE A LOT OF PEOPLE ASSUME THAT IT IS NAS FAULT
AND NOT A COMBINATION OF BOTH. WHAT EVER THE CASE KELLIS
HAS TO LIVE WITH IT ALSO AND THAT LIFE DO COME FULL CIRCLE.
I’d like to share a very interesting place with you__ Rich Flirts.com __. It brings gorgeous girls and wealthy men together. After checking it,I saw a lot of celebrities there,including many Hollywood stars. It’s a great website to date a beautiful woman or handsome guy there.
Kelis, I hope it’s not about revenge with going to court for money.Your marriage failed.Revenge and money won’t make you feel any better.It is best to be reasonable and not greedy.And just move forward with your life and raise your baby.After all you want to set a positive example for your baby.You don’t want to teach a child greed.I thought child support was like a percentage of the father’s earnings.Kelis needs to revamp her career.Greed is always the center of uglyness.People will do almost anything for it even use children for $$.This is wrong.Please don’t use this child for milking a cash machine.I also hope she saves a percentage of the child support so that when the child is 18 he has something.You have to think about the future not just the present.
