IT PAYS TO HAVE PIMPLES; VANESSA WILLIAMS SIGNS $20 MILLION CONTRACT WITH PROACTIV; PLANS 9th STUDIO ALBUM
In related news, Wiliams has not turned her back on her music career - she's planning to release her ninth studio album in early 2008. Williams, 44, released her first single in 1988 and went on to sell over six million records worldwide. And although the star is busy with the hit TV series, she admits she has not given up on singing just yet, having signed a new contract with Concord Records earlier this year (07). She says, "I was in Rio for Christmas working on a couple of songs and I'm going back into the studio in the next couple of months so hopefully I should have something ready by the time the next series of Ugly Betty ends."

IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME! LAMMAN RUCKER IS FINALLY CONSIDERED AS A TRUE HOLLYWOOD HEAVYWEIGHT.
I knew it was just a matter of time before he'd land a role that would really make people recognize how much of a compassionate, skilled actor he really is. As modest and humble as he is, even Rucker (who holds two bachelor degrees: one in Information Technology and one in Drama/Theater, as well as an MBA in Education) has faced the fact that his presence in W.D.I.G.M.? signals his arrival as a true Hollywood heavyweight. Yes, it does, Lamman, yes it does.
Although the Pittsburg, Pennsylvania native's honed acting skills and GQ-ish good looks played a big factor in his perfect portrayal as 'Troy', the ex-Wall Street stockbroker who falls in love with 'Sheila' (played by Jill Scott) in this film, I still feel it's more than appropriate to give thanks to Tyler Perry for letting the rest of the world witness what Rucker's true fans have known for so very long. Thank you ever so kindly!
And don't fret ladies (although you just might once you read the details regarding Rucker's personal life after the jump). Like I said before, this will not be the last time we will see Rucker on the big screen...or even the small screen for that matter. Coincidentally, the up-and-coming actor has teamed up with Perry once again and will star in the big screen adaptation of Meet the Browns, which is loosely based on the stage play of the same title. Angela Bassett, Rick Fox, Irma P. Hall and Rucker's Why Did I Get Married? castmate, Denise Boutte also star in the film which was filmed mostly in Atlanta, Georgia, and is scheduled to hit theaters in 2008. And if that doesn't satisfy your thirst for the 30-something year-old actor, Rucker, along with Boutte, will also star in the sitcom version of Meet the Browns, which has been dubbed as Perry's next 'highly anticipated' series. According to Boutte, 10 episodes have already been filmed; however, it's still unclear which network will pick up and air the series.
So, yes, I can definitely see his resume becoming increasingly long in the next couple of years. Bless his heart. His life is about to change in ways he probably never imagined. And that's real talk.

AFTER THE JUMP YOU CAN VIEW LAMMAN'S ACTING REEL, FIND OUT HOW HE SPENDS HIS QUALITY TIME AND WITH WHOM, PLUS DETAILS ON HIS RELATIONSHIP STATUS.
But don't get it twisted, people. This man, who starred in BET's 2006 award-winning short film on HIV/AIDS entitled Let's Talk, is more than just a savory piece of on-screen eye candy. Rucker loves the kids too. So much so that he spends his quality time mentoring and educating children in his community on AIDS/HIV awareness and prevention.
Fine, tall, ruggedly handsome, intelligent (you gotta love that), well-spoken, modest, humble, beautiful smile, adorable dimples, no kids...which means no baby mama drama, family-oriented, approachable, kind and committed...to someone else. It hurts, doesn't it? Yeah, I know. Hell, I had a dream about him the other night...and guess what? Even in my dream he didn't want me! Now, that's commitment like no other, right?! But hey, if he wasn't involved with someone than I'd be really worried. LOL! An anonymous* source whose close to the actor tells me that he has been in an on-again/off-again relationship with a special woman (and no, it's not Jill Scott as some recent rumors have suggested) for some time now. Lucky heffah! I'm kidding....sort of. :)
My grandmother, bless her soul, would slap a pint of piss out of me if she heard me say what I'm about to say; so, please forgive me if I come across as sounding a bit un-Southern-lady-like when I say I can also see Rucker getting more ass than a toilet seat That's if he ain't already getting it! Trust. I'm about to change my name to Tidy Bowl or sumthin'. Just jokes, yall! Well, not really. Okay, just a little bit of alot, but not too, too much. Sort of like an iota of a little bit...well, not iota exactly. Mediocre? Whatever!
Therefore and thus and such, in closing, please let the records show that it was the person (that would be me) behind RealGossip 101 who had/has no problem whatsoever with continuing to support Mr. Rucker unconditionally throughout any of his future endeavors. Thank you very much.
*in all fairness, if for any reason my anonymous source has been proven to be incorrect with the information which was given to me, once the correct information is confirmed to me by a verifiable source is when I will promptly retract my statement.
Before you go, don't forget to check out Lamman's actig reel.

PICS: ASHANTI'S 80s THEMED B-DAY PARTY @ CAFE DUPRI'S IN ATLANTA
After Saturday night's taping of the B.E.T. Hip Hop Awards show in Atlanta, the R&B singer celebrated her 27th birthday at Jermaine Dupri's 'Cafe Dupri' in Atlanta with an 80s hip-hop-type theme. I think she pulled it off really well. Also in attendance were Jermaine Dupri, of course, Ne-Yo and Katt Williams. Looks like a good time was had by all. Can you imagine the music that was played at that party? I'm getting nostalgic just thinking about it! LOl! Doug E. Fresh, Slick Rick, Whodini, JJ Fad, MC Hammer, Oaktown 3-5-7, LL Cool J., Roxanne Shante, The Real Roxanne, Run-DMC, The Fat Boys, Heavy D. & the Boyz, Kurtis Blow, Salt 'N Pepa...just to name a few!

PICS: MYA'S 28th BIRTHDAY PARTY AT JET IN LAS VEGAS
Poor Mya can't seem to catch a break these days. Her record label pushed back her fourth studio album, Liberation, to possibly October 23rd (and that's a strong possibly), when it was supposed to have been released months ago. I wouldn't blame her for believing that there is nothing she can do about it but wait until her record label make their move...this may also be the reason why we've been seeing her more at industry parties, fashion shows and other industry-related events...that really doesn't have anything to do with promoting her new album. Mya has recently hired a new manager so maybe he can get the ball rolling for her. Bless her heart.
Also, the singer was involved in a fender-bender earlier this month. According to the Washington Post, Mya, who is from Prince George County, accidentally ran her Escalade into a parked Ford Explorer in Georgetown. And unlike Britney Spears--who just drove away after hitting a parked car in Beverly Hills a couple of months ago--Mya actually sat and patiently waited for the cops to arrive. Police say Mya and Explorer owner just traded info -- no charges filed. Bless her heart.

CANDIDS: FANTASIA IN A 2-PIECE BIKINI
Okay, I thought seeing Star Jones Reynolds in a bathing suit (post-gastric bypass) was unfair, but I gotta tell you...seeing Fantasia in a 2-piece bikini while proudly displaying her hoodrat hotness nth degree, is coming in at a close second. And that's real talk too. I have to thank (or either choke the hell out of) loyal RealGossip 101 reader, Natalie, for contaminating my inbox with these pictures. LOL!
Oh, and for the record, she already knows I'm only playing! Thanks again, Natalie! Next time, warna sista please?! LOL!
