Here's a little Friday eye-candy for you guys out there. Chilli of TLC graces the cover of Cool Touch Promotions magazine. According to its website, Cool Touch Promotions is an entertainment and lifestyle magazine created to showcase the hottest in southern hip hop music and style. Bringing you the best in provoking editorials and exclusive interviews, CTP magazine is quickly becoming the industry resource for today’s upcoming artists, tomorrow’s trendsetters and the movers and shakers who “make” the industry. The appeal of our magazine targets the urban market through a level of quality, presence and content seen through every feature and has branded us the breeding ground for the newest movement in hip hop. So without a doubt, CTP is more than a magazine………it’s the language of hip hop with dat distinct drawl of this thing we call “The South”!!!!

And that's all the information I have on this magazine. I'm going to go out on a limb and assume Chilli's on the cover, not only because of her pretty face and because she hails from the ATL, chances are the 'sexy' component of TLC is gracing CTP latest mag cover in order to promote her long-awaited solo debut album Bi-Polar...slated to hit stores on September 2, 2008, God willing. Hopefully more information will be available once this issue hits newsstands wherever the magazine is sold.

Below are pics of Chilli, Amerie, Ne-Yo and music producer Brian Cox at Mondays at Uptown Restaurant & Lounge in Atlanta on Monday, July 14, 2008.

Is it me, or is Chilli looking a bit more busty in her bosom area?

NEW A.B.C. UPDATE: WHAT EACH MEMBER IS DOING NOW + A NEW PIC.

(CLICK PIC TO SEE ITS FULL IMAGE; I'm mad Chris is now looking like K-Ci's baby brother)

Back in January, I called myself posting a small blurb on former boy band A.B.C. (Another Bad Creation) after talking about them with my best friend Kamika. At the time, the most I could do was to provide you all with a recent pic (that was about 3 or 4 years old at the time) of how the fellas looked all grown up. I damn sure couldn't provide yall with details of what each member were up to now because, hell, I didn't know myself! Now I do. I'm not about to go into how they were 'created', how many hits they had, what movies they were in, how much money they made (or didn't make), who screwed them over or when they got lost in the sauce while in their mid-teens. I ain't going into all that madness; so click the link at the beginning of this paragraph if you want to know all of that. And read on to the second paragraph to see what they're up to in 2009.

Today, Romell 'RoRo' Chapman, 30, does independent contracting on hardwood floors; Christopher 'Chris' Sellers, 29, works for Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority; Demetrius Red' Pugh, 28, used his 'trust fund money to buy a studio' and currently works with artists, produces and books studio time; Red's brother, Marliss 'Mark' Pugh, 26, is a truck driver and David 'Dave' Shelton, 25, works for a glass company. Shelton now stands at 5 feet 11 inches tall and also attended Daytona Beach College on a full basketball scholarship. Adrian G.A. (General Austin) Witcher, who served as the group's 'unofficial member, works with his cousin, acclaimed music producer Dallas Austin.

All of the fellas still reside in their hometown of Atlanta and are currently working on a DVD titled Where Are They Now (I mentioned that in the January post). Chris, Ro Ro and Dave also have an independent music company called Playground Legends. How apropos, right? In all, the group say they still cherish the impact their music once had on others. Says Ro Ro, "We sold 3 million albums. That's 3 million people's lives we touched in a positive way. People still know us. It's like we had some kind of effect. All of us are still healthy, been around the world and did stuff most people don't. So it was worth it."

Bless their ABC'ing hearts.

50 CENT SCORES 2 BIG 'SCREW YOUs' AGAINST HIS BABY MAMA IN HOUSE-FIRE/CHILD SUPPORT MADNESS.

In 50 Cent's latest baby mama drama, the courts have reportedly granted the rapper with brief visitation with his 11-year-old son Marquise. 50 and his baby mama, Shaniqua Tompkins are still at odds (and each other's throats) in the latest legal battle over a recent blaze which left his Long Island, New York home destroyed. Tomkins and Marquise had been residing at the home when was the police have called a 'suspicious' fire burned the mutha down. Anyhoo, Tompkins was recently granted a restraining order against her ex, preventing the star from being on the same premises as her. The 33-year-old rapper, who once did time for selling crack, was in Suffolk County Court in Central Islip to ask Judge David Freundlich for permission to take the boy on vacation from Aug. 3 to Aug. 12. Freundlich ordered the quickie drug test - at the request of the boy's guardian - and the G-Unit frontman did not hesitate. "I haven't seen my son in a while. That's why I came here today," the rapper said after he passed the test and was awarded unrestricted visitation with his son.

"It was a little bit of a bomb," the legal guardian, Theresa Mari, admitted afterward. Mari did not object to the father-son get together once the test came back negative. "I think it's beneficial for Marquise to spend time with his dad, and he wants to spend time with his dad," Mari said. Tompkins, was also ordered to undergo drug testing. Her results came back positive for opiates, but she blamed it on codeine-laced cough syrup she has been taking. The trial is set to resume on September 15, 2008). Tompkins said she was uncomfortable with Marquise's upcoming visit with his father. "That's just an honest, nondefamation opinion," she added.

In more related baby mama drama news, 50 has also been awarded the right to keep using his lawyer Brett Kimmel after beating a bid from Tompkins to have him thrown off the case. Tompkins claimed Kimmel had a conflict of interest, because she attempted to hire him to represent her during her child support battle with 50 Cent three years ago. But Kimmel and the rapper successfully argued the two cases are unrelated and that Kimmel never had an attorney-client relationship with her. New York judge Carol Edmead has thrown out the bid. 50 Cent is also attempting to overturn a court decision to freeze insurance money on the New York house.

CHRIS BROWN TO FOLKS' BEING NOSY REGARDING HIS RELATIONSHIP W/RIHANNA: 'I DON'T KNOW YOU, WHY YOU ALL IN MY BUSINESS?'

"Nobody wants to focus on what's positive, they want to know about my personal life. Every interview I do, they're like, 'So, how are you and such and such doing?' And I'm like, I don't know you, why you all in my business? So that's my take on it personally."

--R&B singer Chris Brown on why he refuses to answer interviewers' questions about his relationship with Rihanna. The singer, who, rather he'll ever admit to it or not, has been linked romantically to Rihanna, says he hates discussing his personal life with strangers. Brown also says he'll make it his mission to always keep the media guessing about his love life. Why he insists on wasting his breath denying things that are so blatantly obvious makes absolutely no sense. So, good luck with that, baby boy.

T.I.'S FIANCEE ON REALITY SHOWS, BECOMING AN ACTRESS & HOW SHE & THE RAPPER MET.

T.I. (real name Clifford Harris) hasn't let his pending jail time keep him out of the spotlight. As a matter of fact, the rapper/actor has signed a deal with MTV to star in a reality show that will shadow him while he performs 1,000 hours of community service prior to beginning his one year sentence on several weapons convictions. As part of his guilty plea deal, the rapper has to address youth groups about the pitfalls of guns, gangs and drugs. In this new untitled series, we'll see T.I. addressing the youth. Shooting began this summer and will air during the time he reports to jail next spring. However, being featured on a reality show doesn't quite sit well with T.I.'s fiancee and mother of his children, Tameka 'Tiny' Cottle (ex-member of R&B girl group X-Scape), who just gave birth to the couple's second son last May. "Reality shows seems to degrade you. Not saying that all of them do, but I don't know if I wanna be portrayed as...everybody all in our personal life. It's enough of our life out there already. Not to say that it couldn't be done well." Whether or not Tiny still feels this way remains to be seen.

And while she's hesitant about displaying her personal business on front street, Cottle says she wouldn't mind becoming a real actress and she has a television show concept in mind to get her started. "Somebody needs to get at me! For real though, I want to act. If somebody wanted to do a show on some hot girls from Atlanta--I don't really wanna tell the whole idea, but I have an idea for a sitcom. More like a Sex in the City meets Entourage type thing."

AFTER THE JUMP, FIND OUT HOW THE COUPLE MET & WHAT TO EXPECT FROM T.I. IF YOU EVER HAVE THE GALL TO DISRESPECT HIS LADY IN HIS PRESENCE.

For those of you who have ever wondered how Tiny and T.I., who have dated on and off for several years, became one of Atlanta's hottest celebrity couples, here it is: The pair met while the singer was working with producer Jazze Pha in an Atlanta studio. They later bumped into each other again at an Atlanta mall. "When I first met him at the studio, nothing registered. I didn't pay him no attention," says Tiny. "But when I saw him at the mall, he looked really good. And I was like, 'That little young dude look good!'" Cottle says although she and T.I. plan on becoming husband and wife soon, they still haven't set a date. Oh, and for all of you T.I. fans/stans/groupies, don't even think about disrespecting Tiny in T.I.'s presence, because according to Cottle, lil dude will check you. Then again, I'm pretty sure most of you already know it doesn't take much for the rapper's TIP alter ego to emerge from T.I.! LOL! Yall know lil beige dude don't even much play that shit. LOL!
