Undercover Brothers: Not-So-Famous Brothers of Famous Celebs

Image
We’ve covered the not so famous sisters of famous celebrities, and now it’s time to move on to the brothers! These are the anti-Rob Kardashians and anti-Teenys. Some of these celebs you would’ve assumed to be only children but guess what, they’re not. Check out the behind the scenes bros of some of our favorite black celebs. Brothers Cinque (2nd r.) and David (r.) Many people know that Spike Lee has a sister, Joie Lee, because she’s been cast in so many of his films, but did you know that Spike also has two brothers who both work behind the scenes in the moving making biz. Youngest brother Cinque Lee is a director, writer and actor himself and David is a cinematographer.     Nas’ younger brother Jabari Fret, who goes by the name Jungle, was part of Nas’ Bravehearts crew (remember Oochie Wally?). Interestingly enough, his brother and cousin Nashawn make up the core group of Bravehearts. Their last studio album, however, dropped in 2003. Like Jay-Z’s sisters, Jigga’s

Instagram If you’ve followed music over the years, you know that Sean “Diddy” Combs has taken a lot of hits on the way people “view him.” He’s not always a fan favorite. But for all the times people may have something negative to say about him, it is just as important to highlight the positive things he does with his time. On Thursday, Diddy took time out of his busy schedule to join the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship for a day of mentoring. He spent time sharing tips on how to run a business as well as how to approach life in an entrepreneurial way.  When he was done, Diddy presented the NFTE with a check for $250,000 on behalf of Combs Enterprises, according to Rap-Up.com .

    Scott Stump TODAY contributor A Hollywood couple claim that during a recent trip to South Carolina, what was supposed to be a romantic getaway ended up with them in handcuffs because they were racially profiled by police. Actors Cherie Johnson and Dennis White are speaking out about the way they were treated by a Marion County sheriff’s deputy when they were stopped on their way to Myrtle Beach. Johnson, best known for her roles in the television shows “Punky Brewster” and “Family Matters,” and her boyfriend, White, who was in the movie “Notorious,” said they were initially stopped and ticketed for speeding. A short time later, they pulled over to take pictures on the side of the road when they say another police officer pulled up behind their parked car. “Cherie, she was like, ‘I’m just taking a picture,’ and put her hands up, and he grabbed for his gun and said, ‘Get in the car,'’’ White told TODAY’s Maria Schiavocampo on Wednesday. “At that po

Not so Raven ! Raven Symone Not In Lesbian Photos Child star Raven Symone recently come out the closet , but is she also baring it all too? Via 4umf reports: A lot has been said about Raven-Symone’s sexual orientation, but not necessarily by the actress herself. The closest the former Cosby star has come to admitting she’s gay was in early August after hearing that more states had legalized gay marriage. In response to the news, Raven tweeted, ”I can finally get married! Yay government! So proud of you.” She followed that up with a statement released through her representative, which said, ”I was excited to hear today that more states legalized gay marriage. I, however am not currently getting married, but it is great to know I can now, should I wish to.” Due to her slightly coy approach to the subject of her sexuality, many were shocked when a picture of what appeared to be Raven being straddled on a bed by a heavily tattooed woman sporting a blonde buzz cut began making

What Happened To These Child Stars?

Image
by Marissa Ellis There are some child stars that aren’t a mystery…like Jurnee Smollett, who has a bigger career these days than she did as a child star on Full House, and Jaleel White aka Steve Urkel who…well, let’s just say he’s always on the radar. But what about the others who may not be so recognizable to the untrained eye? You may have not realized that certain working Black actors today were child stars of yesterday, or maybe you wonder why certain child stars never rode their talents into adulthood. We’ve gathered just a few cases of child stars to see what they look like now and what they’ve been up to. Kellie Shanygne Williams (36) played Laura Winslow on the beloved ABC sitcom Family Matters for nine seasons. She acted only in a couple of other projects after the show wrapped in the late 1990s including the ABC show What About Joan. . The Washington DC native married Hannibal Jackson in 2009 and had her first child Hannah Belle in 2010 at the age of 34.

It turns out the announcement was never made. Miley took to Twitter to laugh about the outlandish rumor, without ever actually denying it.
