FORMER ONE-HIT-WONDER BLU CANTRELL SNAGS NEW BOY TOY & A PLAYBOY MAGAZINE SPREAD.


According to E!Online singer Blu Cantrell (a.k.a. Blu Can'tSell) has snagged herself a new man and possibly a future cover of Playboy magazine. Sources claim Cantrell and former Calvin Klein underwear model and soap opera stud Antonio Sabato Jr. are more than just clowning around on NBC’s newest competition show Celebrity Circus. “They’ve been getting close and hanging out after rehearsals,” said the insider. “Antonio seems smitten with her.” Celebrity Circus, which premiered Wednesday night, pits a group of celebs against one another as they try to perform crazy-ass stunts, including high-wire walking, fire dancing and doing acrobatics in the wheel of death.

And we may soon get a look at what Sabato Jr., 36, may be seeing these days. Cantrell, 31, recently shot a spread for Playboy after dropping upwards of 25 pounds since she began training for Circus. Sabato Jr.’s rep didn’t comment on the possible romance, but said, “We do know that all of those competitors have become such a tight-knit and close family.” However, a rep for Cantrell said of the two, “They are having fun right now.”

NEW PICS: LISARAYE IN MONARCH MAG; REVEALS HOW SHE WENT FROM HOLLYWOOD ACTRESS TO FIRST LADY.

Former All of Us actress LisaRaye McCoy-Misick is featured in the Fall 2007 issue of Monarch magazine. In her interview, the First Lady of Turks & Caicos Islands, who likens herself to Grace Kelly, revealed how she met her second husband, Premier Michael Misick and why she made a couple of sacrifices for the sake of her marriage. The former model met her current hubby when she attended the 2005 Trumpet Awards in Atlanta, Georgia. Michael was being honored with the Global Humanitarian of the Year award and made the first move by asking to be introduced to the beauty. And although LisaRaye (who says she always thought she'd marry an 'in-shape god'...something that Michael indeed was not) says her attraction to Michael wasn't love at first sight, he eventually won her over and the couple exchanged 'I do's' in April of 2006.

Soon after her wedding, the actress found herself facing off with the producers of All of Us (which was canceled in the Spring of 2007) due to the fact that the duties of her new real role as the First Lady of Turks & Caicos Islands entailed her to be by her husband's side during special engagements. At the time, these personal demands meant missing a practice read here and there forcing the producers to have to work around her schedule or stop production altogether. LisaRaye also took it upon herself to shelve her brand new lingerie line, Lux & Romance lingerie which catered to women with curves. Engaged to the Premiere (whose status is equaled to our President) in the same year, she quickly felt that her new line was not exactly the right way a First Lady should represent herself. In February 2005, she decided to drop the line and focue more on learning about her husband's position and culture. LisaRaye says, 'It can be difficult at times with so much to learn. Imagine just a few weeks ago, me and my husband were having dinner with Queen Elizabeth at Buckingham Palace. It's a lot to adjust to.'

These days, LisaRaye spends her time organizing events for the Turks and Caicos International Film Festival, which she created with fellow actress Jasmine Guy in October of 2006. When she's in the States, she's hard at work on one of her latest business ventures: RayeDiant Jewel, a talent pageant she created for young girls. A mix of American Idol meets The Gong Show, LisaRaye teaches the girls that they are all 'diamonds' in the rough. The actress can also be seen on tour in the stageplay, Gossip, Lies and Secrets with Blu Cantrell, Kenya Moore, Malik Yoba and Christopher Williams. But that's not all. Since dropping the lingerie line, she has started a swimsuit line that she says will fit perfectly in both worlds of her life. 'Just think of me as the new millennium First Lady.'

LISARAYE McCOY MISICK, KENYA MOORE & BLU CAN'T SELL (CANTRELL) STAR IN A CHIT'LIN CIRCUIT STAGEPLAY 'GOSSIP, LIES & SECRETS.' (SEE DATES, CITIES)

She may have had an extravagant Caribbean wedding -- one fit for royalty -- in Turks & Caicos, but that doesn't stop LisaRaye McCoy-Misick from getting down to the nitty gritty when it comes to her work. The 'Player's Club' actress, whose CW sitcom 'All of Us' was recently canceled, is getting back into the swing of things with a lead role in the upcoming chit'lin circuit stageplay 'Angela Dunlap's Gossip, Lies & Secrets.'

Former Miss USA and actress Kenya Moore and one-time platinum-selling R&B singer Blu Cantrell joins McCoy-Misick in a tantalizing tale about three entertainment industry-related women bound by an unspoken commitment to be each other's confidant and best friend. After a string of bad investments, distracting relationships, and dead end writing jobs, authoress Sydney St. Croix (McCoy-Misick) finds herself at the end of her financial rope and needs to round up her "partners in crime." Her solution: call her friends and get together for their ritual "sister girl sessions," where "no holds barred" secrets are revealed and boundaries are crossed. After an evening of sharing intimate and sometimes incriminating confessions and secrets, the ladies renew their weekly pact to "never tell another soul" about what has occurred.All of that is fine and dandy until the ringleader gets her big break after being approached by a major publisher who commissions her to write a novel. It is in that moment of sheer desperation that she makes a plot-twisting decision to save her career by breaking the sacred pact of her friends and divulge her best friends' (one an R&B diva, the other a TV star) innermost secrets... all of them.

Popular character actor Clifton Powell, former R&B singer and sex symbol Christopher Williams, urban theater sensation Patrice Lovely ('When A Woman's Fed Up' and 'Men, Money & Golddiggers') and husband and wife chit'lin circuit veterans Lia and Tony Grant round out the cast of 'Gossip, Lies & Secrets.'

Dunlap is an acclaimed writer, director and producer who helmed the hit stageplays, 'If These Hips Could Talk,' which starred legendary actor Billy Dee Williams and Tichina Arnold, and one of the highest grossing stageplays of all time, 'Why Good Girls Like Bad Boyz?'

The show kicks off Sept. 29 in Newark, New Jersey and will play 15 cities in total before wrapping up in Detroit during Thanksgiving week.'
