One of the biggest selling girl groups of all time are back at it again! After the loss of their beloved Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes back in 2002 from a car crash in Honduras, the remaining members of the highly successful trio we know and love as TLC decided to their musical careers a break in 2005.

But Rozanda “Chilli” Thomas and Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins recently picked up their mics and performed a charity event for Justin Timberlake in Las Vegas. And now, the duo is reportedly documenting their comeback to the music scene with a new VH1 reality series. The groups’ longtime manager and friend Bill Diggins will direct the currently untitled television series for TLC, which will air sometime in March of 2010.

TLC’s reunion comes just three years after Watkins underwent major surgery to remove a non-cancerous brain tumor. She suffered a series of speech, sight and balance complications after the operation, not to mention the painful headaches, and has still yet to regain her full health but she says it will take way more than that to stop her!

“To this day, the headaches are unbelievable… But if that’s all? No problemo… I’m doing a solo album, and I want to tour. I have to see if I can do it. I’m still here. It will take way more to stop me.”

TLC’s Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins was recently on The Mo’Nique Show on BET where she revealed that she she and the other members of TLC held Arista and Clive Davis at gun point because of the shady dealing of the music industry. Their reasoning? TLC’s album CrazySexyCool made a whopping $75 million dollars and each member only received $50,000 a piece. Watch the interview below:

It looks like Justin Timberlake called in the big guns all in the name of charity. TLC, Alicia Keys, Snoop Dogg and Ciara all performed live in concert in support of Justin’s benefit for Shriners Hospitals for Children at the Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino Saturday night (Oct 17) in Las Vegas.

Producer/rapper Timbaland and country music sensation Taylor Swift also performed at the second annual “Justin Timberlake and Friends” benefit concert.

Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, a former contestant on NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice and the T in girl group TLC, recently sat down with our good friends over at AOL Blackvoices and was very open and kept everything really real. And when we say really real, we really mean really real. Read it again. It makes sense. The Atlanta native talked about an upcoming TLC movie that could possibly be in the making really soon, what she thought about her performance with Alicia Keys at the 2008 BET Awards, and how she feels about today’s girl groups. She even had a few things to say about Beyonce’s role in Destiny’s Child!

When you hear stories about what’s going on with Destiny’s Child and Kelly Rowland having to fire Matthew Knowles to finally get attention, what are your thoughts?

They get mad when I say this, but I don’t give a damn. It was all about Beyonce anyway. She was my favorite, too, but come on. Her parents are over everything. Who do you think they were going for? It’s always Beyonce.

A few days ago, we reported that TLC member Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins was losing her home. Well, she sat down with Essence.com and set the record straight in an exclusive interview with the popular magazine.

ESSENCE.COM: Well, there have been reports that a Georgia property of yours is going into foreclosure. Is that true?

T-Boz: No, I’m not homeless. During my last marriage [to Mack 10], I had a bunch of things that were put in my name. If one of those properties is going into foreclosure then I don’t know. Although I’ve been divorced for five years, there are still a lot of things I’m dealing with on getting straight in that regard. All I know is that the house I live in with my daughter is not. When you pull up my name, my real house doesn’t show up because it’s not in my real name, because I enjoy my privacy and I’m not trying to have people be able to find me that easily.

First Damon Dash, then Fantasia, and now T-Boz!

Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins is the latest celebrity to lose her home to the government. The former TLC member is said to be losing her 5-bedroom, 10,000 square feet Georgia home after failing to make her monthly mortgage payments. The state plans on putting the $530,000 home on the auction block come January 2009.

Even celebrities tend to live outside of their means, which is way past dumb. When you stop selling albums, or making movies, or doing whatever it is that you do, it’s time to downgrade to something a little more reasonable. If you own 5 cars, sell 3 of them and keep two. If you have a $600,000 house … downgrade to a $200,000 house. It’s not that hard of a concept…
