Speaking of our favorite Auntie Viv’s, Vivica A. Fox is working on a new clothing line. Fox says the line will be geared toward classy, working adult females.

Our condolences go out to Singer Charlie Wilson and his family. The patriarch of the Wilson family, Bishop Oscar Wilson, passed away last week. The 91-year old Wilson died of prostate cancer. Charlie Wilson is a prostate cancer survivor. Charlie’s brothers, Ronnie and Robert, comprised the legendary Gap Band. Our prayers go out to all of the family.

Congratulations to Singer Chaka Khan. She’s getting a star on The Hollywood Walk Of Fame next year.

Quincy Jones is coming to Broadway. Jones says he has been working on this project for the past 33 years, which is titled Genesis: An Evolution Of Jazz And Blues.

The show made Will Smith a star, but it left Hubert bitter and out of work. Hubert reveals it all in her new book Perfection Is Not A Sitcom Mom.

In the book, she slams Smith and says that she was fired in 1993 and replaced with a lighter skinned woman actress Daphne Maxwell Reid. In her book, she talks about the fights on the set with Smith and how he had her tossed off the show. Hubert claims Smith sabotaged her and any other star who came on the show who would outshine him. Hubert is currently out promoting her line of children’s books.
