Quote of the Day

One of James Brown's widows Tomi Rae Hynie, recently said:
"Everybody says I'm being a drama queen and I'm a great actress. All I did was cry and fall to my knees and faint a couple of times. Isn't that how a wife is supposed to act at a funeral when she loses the man she loves?"
Well...yes, I suppose so Tomi. I mean, that's not as half as dramatic as anything I've seen people do at black funerals. If you really wanted to do it up you would have ripped his cold stiff body from the casket and rocked him close to your bosom while humming Troubles of the World. a nice finishing touch would have been to jump in the grave with him and scream out "Jesus take me now!" Man, there's nothing like a good grave jumper at a funeral. Its usually a highlight for me.

Pimps Up, Hoes Down

Bishop Don Magic Juan and James Brown’s widow Tomi Rae have apparently swapped diamond rings…that is according to the Digital Spy . Don Juan said,
"She says I'm the only one to make her cry and smile at the same time." He admitted he has to keep the relationship quiet because her lawyers believe their relationship would hurt Tomi's chances in court to receiveing any of Brown's estate. He said: "They won't let us have it that way, and I understand." But Tomi Rae Is denying the relationship all together saying: "I gave him a ring, but it was just a gift. As far as I'm concerned, I'm the Godmother of Soul and I have no intentions of being with anybody else."
Hmm, interesting. Cry and smile at the same time? The picture that comes to mind while reading that statement is him back handing her while screaming “Bitch, when I tell you to smile you gone muhfuckin smile!” as she feebly attempts to smile with a busted lip and tears streaming down her face. And she better quit denying him before he beats her with a bottle of Andre and throws her battered body in an alley somewhere.
