and Michael Jackson has broke all kinds of records with his comeback tour:

X
“Tickets for Michael Jackson's 50 live dates at London's O2 arena have sold out, meaning that a staggering one million tickets to see the singer have been bought in a matter of hours.

X
Tickets only went on sale on Friday 13 March, with pre-sale allocation available yesterday, and Ticketmaster described the demand as "unprecedented". Fans queued overnight outside the O2 arena in Greenwich, east London, in the hope of avoiding jammed phonelines.”

It’s about time something good happens to this dude….

Chilli: Destiny's Child is NOT the biggest selling female group of all time!

Chilli from TLC was interviewed by Essence Magazine and said some interesting ish. Check out some excerpts:
X
ESSENCE.COM: You're part of the best-selling female girl group of all time, and now you've entered the worlds of accessories and skincare.

X
CHILLI THOMAS: “Thank you for acknowledging that because everyone always credits Destiny's Child as the biggest-selling female group, but it's just not true. You can't count album sales for each solo project collectively and come up with numbers. I love Destiny's Child, but thank you…”

X
ESSENCE.COM: So what's up with your new music?

X
CHILLI: “I'm exploring my options and definitely the indie route. Nowadays, record labels want to sign you to these 360 deals, which means that they get a percentage of everything you do whether it's concerts, merchandising. Back in the day, that's how an artist made their money, but artists aren't selling albums like they used to. TLC had a lot of financial issues and I refuse to bind myself to a deal because I know better now.”

X
ESSENCE.COM: Throughout the blogosphere, folks speculated about whether you, Usher and Tameka communicate. Do you?

X
CHILLI: “I don't have any contact with her. I have not spoken to her in years. There's no relationship at all between us. I haven't spoken to Usher, either. When people ask whether or not I think she is the reason we broke up, I have no clue what Usher was doing outside of our relationship. When we broke up, it was because it wasn't working out. I later found out there was some infidelity, but he never said who that woman or who those women were, because I'm sure it was more than one.... I never asked. My memory of her was that she was the stylist, because she dressed Usher and I for an event one time..... I think what keeps it alive at all is these [blogs]speculating whether we'd get back together.”

Ok...now those who know me know I'm about to read Ms. Rozanda.

#1 Destiny's Child has sold over 50 million albums worldwide compared to TLC's 36 million. Granted their solo efforts are accounted for in that number, but Chilli needs not to forget that all of TLC tried to go solo at one time and failed miserably. Yes... TLC paved the way, but Destiny's Child did a hell of a job finishing what they started. Like Jay-Z said, "If you really put me on, put yourself on then!"

X

#2 The title "Best selling female group of all time was given to Destiny's Child by the World Muscic Awards, they didn't make the ish up.

X

#3 If we want to be technical, the damn Dixie Chicks are the biggest selling female group of all time with well of 36 million albums sold...just as a group.

X
#4 Quit Crying

X

#5 God rest Left Eye's soul, I loved her!

X

Ok, I'm done. Lol. Get the rest of the interview here.

T-Boz and Chili..whats really hood?

Former TLC members T-boz and Chili may have fell on hard times, again.

X

T-boz has a craigslist posting stating she wishes to sell everything in her Houston residence. There are listings for designer clothes, shoes, handbags and even furniture and collectibles.

X

X

She is a cast member on celebrity apprentice and should be filming in NYC right about now, but why get rid of all your stuff unless your hard up?

X

Time will tell.....

Thanks for the tip Ryan
X

And Rozanda "Chili" Thomas has went and got a I love New York - type reality show on Vh1. She's currently accepting submission for "real men who can handle her".

X

C'mon Chili, I thought you were so much better than being Tiffany Pollard's protege. You gotta be in need of coins. But I can't lie and say I won't be watching this one.

I spy a Wedding Ring- Chili edition

Well, well, well....we havent had one of these in a while. In the previous post we see Chili enjoyed an Atlanta Hawks game. But what is this bling on her finger???

The last man she was linked to was CNN news anchor T.J. Holmes:

X

Chili swears they ended their relationship about a year ago, but maybe she gave him a call after Usher tied the knot....only time well tell, but in the meantime nice try Rozanda!

X

When asked what male celebrity she would love to date she answered this:

X

"The Rock," she exclaimed! "I love him! I haven't met him yet. I want to. If you ever reach out to him, tell him that Chilli has the biggest crush on him. She would love to just go to lunch. Don't think I don't know he's divorced now too. I wouldn't say all of this if he was married. I know that relationship is over."

Realizing the importance of this historic election, voters showed up in droves to cast their ballots in Miami. I’m told some had to wait in line for multiple hours, but imagine their surprise when Mary J Blige, Russell Simmons, The Carters, and Diddy came out to thank them for their commitment to bring about change:
