Ms. Drama TV

It’s a sad day for the true fans of VH1′s TV show, Single Ladies. After rumors circulating that Stacy Dash may get fired & Lisa Raye voicing her opinion on the situation, “Val” gave an exclusive statement to Global Grind stating she won’t come back for their second season.

“I truly enjoyed playing Val on ‘Single Ladies’, but I have decided to leave the show. I have to be back in L.A. with my children right now and the ‘Single Ladies’ shooting location makes that impossible. I wish VH1 the best of luck with the show and in maintaining the strong fan base we developed in season one.”

VH1 also released a statement saying:

“VH1 respects Stacey’s decision and her commitment to what she feels is best for her family. We thank her for all of her hard work in making ‘Single Ladies’ a success right out of the gate, and we wish her nothing but the best in her future plans.”

The show won’t be the same without her & she will be missed. The question now is who will replace her character “Val”? Leave us your picks in the comments section.

Well rapper T.I. has a lot to celebrate today. As of 7:29 this morning, Clifford Harris became a free man – well more like a free man under the supervision of local Arkansas law enforcement.

T.I. served a total of 11 months after his September 2010 arrest in L.A. for getting caught with cocaine and other substances. His scheduled 1 year sentence stemmed from a probation violation from a September 2009 felony conviction for illegal weapons.

T.I. is currently being held at a local community facility– a transition place for newly released inmates, until his official time is up.

In response to his newly found freedom, T.I. offered his thoughts via Twitter:

Feels great to be back where I belong…Back in the arms of those who need me the most.

The storm is over da sun back out. IT’S OUR TIME TO SHINE SHAWTY!!!!! Welcome to the beginning of our Happy Ending!!!!

In anticipation of T.I.’s  release, Tiny & Toya tweeted yesterday:

@TinyMajorMama: Ya No! Thx T RT @ToyaWright: So happy for my big sis @TinyMajorMama and the Fam…my big brother @Tip we be FREE Tomorrow!☺

Hopefully T.I. treads very lightly – and stays out of trouble. The streets are watching TIP!

As reported by MSDTV, Solange Knowles recently went off via twitter about her run-in with Miami PD.  While she didn’t get into all the specifics, she does claim blatant discrimination by 5-0 and even reckless behavior as they allegedly pulled out a weapon against her.

To offer her full story of how Miami PD mistreated her and her friends, and lied in their reports, Solange spoke with E! News about the entire incident. According to Solange:

“Never once during the incident did I even raise my voice. I feel very strongly about standing up for myself when something is wrong, and am very disappointed in the way that the Miami [Beach] Police Department has handled this case.”

Solange’s rep explains that Knowles and two friends went to a club, where she somehow obtained a large balloon that they planned to give to a pal’s kid the next day.

They then took a taxi to another night spot, where the bouncer informed them that they couldn’t take the balloon inside.

“They decided to go across the street to deflate the balloon, where they encountered two police officers who had casual, light-hearted conversation with them,” Knowles’ rep states. “One officer pulled out a switchblade and threatened to pop the balloon. They felt it was inappropriate, but the turning point happened when he then took out the switchblade a second time with the blade open and said to them, ‘I don’t find the humor in this, anymore.’ The blade was less than a couple feet away from Solange and her friends.”
