REST IN PEACE DR. DONDA WEST!!!

Rapper Kanye West and his family want to reach out to his fans and thank them for their support during this tragic time. The West family released the following statement: "Kanye West, his family and friends would like to thank everyone for the outpouring of support and kind words that have come in from across the country since the death of his mother, Dr. Donda West. After working in higher education for 31 years, Dr. Donda West and Kanye West co-founded the Kanye West Foundation with the mission of helping to combat the severe dropout problem in high schools across the country. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Dr. West's name to the Kanye West Foundation/Loop Dreams Teacher Training Institute."

Also, last night rapper Jay-Z led a tribute to Kanye's mother by dedicating his New York concert to her. Jay-Z held a moment of silence for his good friends mother. Jay-Z told the crowd: "Let's get serious for a minute. This show is dedicated to Kanye West who had a death in the family. We got you, Kanye. Stay strong." He continued, "She was a mother to everybody... We all came in the crib and she fed us when we had nothin', when there was no record deals. She brought us in. She was a mother for a community, and a mother for one of Chicago's greatest heroes." Jay-Z also admitted that Kanye is struggling to accept his sudden loss. He says, "I don't think it really hit him yet, but I'm asking Chicago to pray and send your prayers and your love out to my brother and to his family."

The young lady who was busted in the head a couple of weeks ago by Da Brat with a bottle of rum is bringing that attorney heat on both Da Brat and Jermaine Dupri’s club Studio 72. Via AHH:

Shayla Stevens, the Atlanta Falcons Cheerleader who was allegedly assaulted by Da Brat earlier this month, has hired prominent attorneys Willie Gary and CK Hoffler and their firm, Gary, Williams, Finney, Lewis, Watson and Sperando P.L. Da Brat, born Shawntae Harris, allegedly struck Stevens with a 1.7 liter bottle of rum during a shoving match in the club in the early hours of November 1. According to Gary, Stevens has suffered permanent injuries to her face, as well as possible neurological damage. Additionally, she will miss upcoming games as cheerleader for the Falcons, as well as a scheduled role on Tyler Perry’s House of Payne sitcom. Gary, who is nicknamed “The Giant Killer” for his judgments against corporations, is noted for winning a $240 million jury verdict against Walt Disney, for stealing his clients idea for a theme park.

The new Diva in Hollywood, Tasha Smith, will play the role of Donna Summers!!!

Tasha Smith really knows how to shake up the scene.
The break-out star of Tyler Perry's latest hit movie 'Why Did I Get Married?' held court during the Lincoln Lounge symposium, held last night at Los Angeles Sofitel Hotel, as one of the most prized events during the 2007 American Black Film Festival.
Along with acclaimed casting director Robi Reed, Smith – who is a noted acting coach, in her own right – dished on the ins and outs of Black Hollywood and how to break into it. Veteran BET correspondent Stephanie Frederic moderated the intimate affair, which was decked out with a living room feel.
Smith, who has appeared on Tyra Banks' wildly popular reality series 'America's Next Top Model' and debuted in Perry's overlooked 'Daddy's Little Girls,' pulled no punches as she opened up to the audience about her previous life of stripping and drug hustling in her hometown of Camden, New Jersey.
It was definitely real talk – for real.
Backstage at the event, the tall and statuesque bronze beauty chatted with The BV Newswire about the Donna Summer biopic that she is readying as her next vehicle.
"It's a movie we've been working on and we're excited," she revealed. "We're still in the development stages of it but I will be playing Donna Summer, it's just telling her life story."
Summer, the legendary Academy Award winning singer known as "The Queen of Disco," catapulted to the top of the 1970s pop music stratosphere with hit songs such as 'Last Dance,' 'I Feel Love,' 'McArthur Park, and ' 'Love to Love You Baby.'
"It will show the transformation of her life," Smith added about the film, which may or not be adapted from Summer's 2003 autobiography 'Ordinary Girl.'
"A lot of people don't really know all that she has gone through from a young girl to teenage moving to Europe and trying to start on her career, and her different marriages and the drugs and her transformation with Christianity and all of that."
"The spiritual aspect of her life connects directly with us," Reed – an Emmy Award winner who has cast modern day black classic films such as 'Do the Right Thing,' 'Malcolm X,' 'Set it Off' and 'Love Jones' – said, calling Summer's story "very interesting."
"It's right along the lines of those inspirational [projects]," she continued. "You know you can inspire people and you don't have to be Jesus, Jesus, Jesus all day long."
When probed of Summer's involvement in the forthcoming biopic, Smith professed her affinity for the five-time Grammy Award winning dance diva (born: LaDonna Adrian Gaines), but added, "I put it to you like this, hopefully she'll be a part of it ... but it still will happen."
Smith and Reed plan to have the project ready for release within the next two years.
"We're very focused, we want to do it," Reed said.
"No, I can't" Smith gushed when asked if she could sing.
So what are you going to do about the music in the movie?"I'm going to do the same thing that Angela Bassett did," she quipped, referring to Bassett's 1992 Oscar Award nominated turn as Tina Tuner in 'What's Love Got Do with It?"

Usually when this happens, we sniff a reality show coming, but in this case that has already been done.
