Fan favorite TINY & TOYA returns for a second season packed with drama, laughter and self-discovery.

Pick up where they left off. Tune in Tuesday, April 13 at 10 PM/9C for the premiere.

This season, Tameka “Tiny” Cottle and best friend Antonia “Toya” Carter continue to uplift their lives while balancing motherhood, family, fame and budding business empires of their own.

A journey familiar to many women, viewers will watch Tiny as she raises her children, expands her businesses and takes the next steps in helping her family deal with her father’s Alzheimer’s disease. For Toya, family remains at the center of her life. She continues to build a solid foundation for her spunky 11-year-old daughter, Reginae, and confronts her mother Anita with “tough love” while she continues to fight her war with drugs, all while entertaining a love life of her own.

Last season, TINY & TOYA garnered 3 million viewers, the highest of any original series premiere in BET history. The new series also gave viewers a peek behind all the glitz and glamour, and highlighted the ladies’ personal strength and commitment to staying true to oneself.

"All Access:" Lil' Wayne

Lil Wayne speaks openly to Katie Couric check it out!
"(CBS) At first look, you might think it’s pretty easy to size up Lil' Wayne.

He’s got the teeth -- gold and platinum diamond-studded crowns, a body covered in tattoos and the attitude.

Lil' Wayne: "I am gangster, Miss Katie."

Katie Couric: "What does that mean, when you say 'I'm a gangster'?"

Wayne: I don't take nothin' from no one. I do what I wanna do. And I'm gonna do that until the day I die. And if I can't do that, then I'll just die."

I'm looking for the entire video but they are shutting that down so read the interview at CBS it's interesting!

The 51st annual Grammy Awards air Sunday, on Feb 8. at 8 p.m. Lil Wayne is up for 8..... let's pray and cross our fingers that he brings home at least 2 ;-) Go Maestro!

GRAMMY Nominee: Lil Wayne

Go Wayne! I'm feeling good about him this year at The Grammy's- Congrats on the nomination and on his wins as well!

Just a like background on him:
Lil Wayne AKA Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr. (born September 27, 1982), better known by his stage name Lil Wayne, is an American rapper. Formerly a member of the rap group the Hot Boys, he joined the Cash Money Records collective as a teenager. He worked with B.G. on the album True Story and eventually recorded for the label. Get It How U Live, released in 1997, was Lil Wayne's first album with Hot Boys, and Tha Block is Hot, his solo debut, came out 1999. Block debuted in the top ten on the American Billboard 200 chart and Lil Wayne was nominated for "Best New Artist" from The Source magazine the same year. Following this success, Wayne soon featured on other rappers' singles, including "Bling Bling" by B.G. and "#1 Stunna" by the Big Tymers in 2000.

It's addictive and though I had never heard of Kat Deluna I must give another shout out to Reggie over at Purple Rain.... Gotta love Lil Wayne and his guitar for making an appearance in this vid too

Definitely has a POP feel to it and she is cute ;-)

Kathleen Emperatriz "Kat" DeLuna (born November 17, 1987 in The Bronx, New York) but grew up in the parts of Newark, New Jersey. Kat is an American singer of Dominican heritage. Her mother, born in the Dominican Republic, owns a bakery shop in downtown Newark. She is currently signed to Akon's label Konvict Muzik.

BLOG ROLL SHOUT OUT: IN A PERFECT WORLD. . . THANKS I'M ADDING TO

I SAW "SO I'M ASKING...20 QUESTIONS FOR 2009"!!! ON 'IN A PERFECT WORLD'S BLOG'
so not only am I biting (thanks) but I'm shouting them out ;-)

WILL?.......
Quick question, do you like this blog??? If the answer is yes, FOLLOW me! :-)

here is the quick run down:
"It’s my way of saying nothing in the world is perfect and no person in it is, either. None of us is exempt from certain hardships and heartbreaks. It was really important for me to blog from my life that men & women can relate to from real situations. I didn’t want to do an blog that painted myself as perfect because no matter how things look, no one is." - Reggie
.......................................................................................

Some Songs are Classics. . . .

And should just be left alone!
So when I first heard the track all I could think of was the remix with Smif N'Wessun so you tell me what do you think?

Lil Wayne & Keyshia Cole - I Love You


Mary J. Blige with Smif 'N Wessun - I Love You Remix

After all the comparing Keyshia Cole to Mary do you think she did the track justice and paid homage to Mary or she should of just let the original be?

I love the original and will always be a fan! Though in the newer version you don't hear too much Keyshia it seems like a Wayne track, so I know his fans will love that!
