Mya, Fantasia, and Bow Wow on 106 & Park

These are a few photos from a week ago that I meant to post the other day of Mya, Fantasia, and Bow Wow on 106 & Park. I really don’t watch the show, lol, but from the look of it .. my guess is that Mya & Bow Wow were the hosts? And of course, Fantasia performed When I See You – great performance by the way! Check out the rest of the photos after the cut.

Introducing … TGT (Tyrese, Ginuwine, Tank) 

A modern-day LSG is on the horizon. Just as Gerald Levert, Keith Sweat, and Johnny Gill joined forces exactly a decade ago to form a supergroup, so are current R&B crooners Tyrese, Ginuwine, and Tank. TGT, as they are calling themselves, is currently working on a studio album, and plans to hold “American Idol”-style auditions to find a fourth member. The trio is also set to hit the road this fall for The Shirts Off Tour, which is scheduled to touch down in such cities as New York, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Atlanta, Chicago, and Miami.

“With all the support our fans have given us individually over the years for our distinct signature styles, collectively we felt our fans deserved to hear great music in a way that they could never have imagined,” Tyrese said, according to reports. “I’ve known these guys for years and they truly are like brothers, so it only felt right to come together as a trio to make history.”

Oh lawd, I wonder how long this this gonna last. This sounds like an idea somebody came up with at the crib when they saw the My Body video on VH1 Soul (Yeah, it took me all day to find that video lol).

 Ashanti and Nia Long: Victims of Identity Theft

A 28-year-old woman accused of stealing the identities of singer Ashanti and actress Nia Long was arraigned Wednesday (May 23) in federal court in Rochester. Shameika Drain Curry turned herself in to US Marshalls yesterday. She’s to be arraigned today before US Magistrate Jonathan Feldman. Her lawyer, John Parrinello, says she’ll plead not guilty. To secure a $36,000 loan and purchase a 2003 Honda Infinity from an Irondequoit auto dealer last year, Shameika Curry allegedly impersonated Ashanti Douglas. Shameika was also alleged to have impersonated actress Nia Long to write and cash a check for $8,300 made out to a cleaning service Shameika Curry herself runs. Meanwhile, her husband, Charles Curry, was said to have impersonated his father to secure a $31,000 loan that allowed him to purchase a 2000 Mercedes Benz from a Webster auto dealer. The couple also is charged with defrauding a bank of $45,000 to open a credit line by assuming the identity of an elderly Rochester woman. According to Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard A. Resnick, if the couple are convicted, they will face a $1 million fine and a maximum penalty of up to 30 years in prison.

Dayuuuuuumm! I wonder how this girl looks. If she looks nothing like Ashanti or Nia I’m gonna be hella pissed that those people were dumb enough to believe her crazy ass. Just a damn shame…

OMARION » TWISTA » JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE » MAROON 5

Omarion » “Beg For It” » MIRROR » (Full) Brand new single following hit “IceBox” by Omarion, entitled “Beg For It,” lifted from his sophomore album 21. This is a nice upbeat club track, I believe a Timbaland production if I’m not mistaken, anyway I think it’s a great single choice especially at this time being Summer.

Twista feat. Pharrell » “Give It Up” » MIRROR » (Full) New single from Twista, “Give It Up” featuring Pharrell, is the first single from his 7th studio album Adrenaline Rush 2007 set to be released on August 7, 2007. The song is a little too redundant for my tastes but that beat is fiyah! Lmao.

However, the flourishing television and film star gave everyone a reason to expect another fun night at the ‘07 BET Awards with a special videotaped message. Enjoy Mo’Nique! I can’t wait for this year’s award show, it’s gonna be crazy, MoNique gone bring the house down!

EVE – TAMBOURINE » Remember those pictures we recently posted up of Eve’s Tambourine Shoot? As you may know Eve’s new video for her first single, “Tambourine,” premiered on BET yesterday; directed by Melina and featuring Swizz Beatz! A very nice colorful visual, I like it a lot, although I would have loved to see Eve get on down with a little dance scene but nonetheless the video is electric and “fun.” GEEEET IT E-V-E! I don’t know about ya’ll but I cannot wait for August 7th to just come already! That’s the release date of Here I Am, exactly two days before my birthday, which is August 9th.
