Former
TLC member Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopez dies in car crash
Hard
to believe it but it's true, the
most flamboyant and outspoken member of the group TLC, Lisa
'Left Eye'
Lopez is
dead according to a spokesperson for the group's label, Arista Records.
Lisa was 30. The singer/songwriter was killed in a car crash while
vacationing in Honduras. She was driving a rented Mitsubishi Montero SUV
and traveling from La Ceiba to San Pedro Sula. According to her
spokesperson, a three-person group called Egypt, her brother, sister and
two producers were in the vehicle with her. The spokesperson said the SUV
tipped over and Left Eye died after sustaining a blow to the head.
According to authorities in Jutiapa, Lopes was not licensed to drive
internationally and was apparently speeding and lost control. The car
crashed in Roma, which is one of Jutiapa's provinces.
Everyone
was taken to the Vicente D'Antoni hospital in La Ceiba and, according to
that medical facility, there were eight other passengers in the vehicle.
Four were released, and the remaining four remain hospitalized in stable
condition. The U.S. Embassy in Honduras said it is working with the San
Jose Funeral Home in La Ceiba and the Lopes family to make arrangements
for the body to be flown back to Atlanta. No funeral plans have been made
yet.

Spring
break anyone?
Its
that time of year again. Young colledge students across the country has been studying
since the beginning of the term and now it's time for a break...spring break that is.
Every year colledge kids from both near and far ascend onto towns like
Daytona Beach, Los Angeles and Cancun, for some fun in the sun and
boogie the night away. Parties will go on 'til the wee hours of the morning
and the boys and girls will get out of control.
Back
in my day, one wasn't that lucky to have such a treat but times change and
so does school and colledge holidays. Night clubs and bars are specially
allocated for the spring break holidays and with all that money to be made
who can blame them so if you are one of the lucky few - enjoy yourselves.

Singer
Lil' Mo is a Mom-to-be
First
it was Brandy with the news
she's expecting and now singer Lil' Mo
can be added as
a forthcoming mom-to-be. Amidst the rumors circling, the young lady announced on her
official website that she is indeed pregnant and as she put it "not
only do I have my own show, but Lil' MO is having her own baby. Yes, the
rumours are true. The way everybody is talking about it, I would rather
you heard it from The Mo's mouth and not everybody else's mouth. If you
could help me with some baby names I'd appreciate it. I want a name
starting with an A if its a girl or if its a boy
starts with a
C".
Her much
anticipated debut album, Based
On A True Story, has
been on the shelf for the last 2 years but will finally see the light of
day this summer and not only that but has been involved in several other
projects as well. Most recently she added her vocals to Ja
Rule’s Put
It On Me, and Missy
Elliott’s 'Hot
Boyz' which helped
make the smash single the longest running #1 single on Billboard’s Rap
Chart (19 weeks).
A woman that can do it all — performer, arranger, writer, producer - the
Queens native has written and/or performed with stars like Teddy Riley, to
Timbaland, Next, 702, Nicole, and Jay Z, to name a few. Congratulations
love.
