BEAUTY PARLOR GOSSIP


What's the big deal about Mary J. Blige singing about crispy chicken and fresh lettuce? A Burger King commercial featuring the R&B queen, which appeared online Monday, received some heavy backlash. Detractors questioned whether the “My Life” singer had sold out by agreeing to perpetuate the stereotype about black folks and fried chicken for a rumored $2 million. The commercial was part of a rebranding campaign for BK that also featured other celebrities including Jay Leno, Salma Hayek, and David Beckham. While the other three commercials remain on BK’s official YouTube channel, Blige’s has mysteriously been deleted with no explanation. View the “controversial” commercial here and tell us if you think BK made the right decision to pull the ad? 


Meagan Good is engaged to a preacher. Good reportedly met her fiance’ DeVon Franklin, who is both a 7th Day Adventist preacher and an executive at Sony Pictures Entertainment, while filming the movie “Jumping the Broom.” Good’s rep told TMZ that Franklin proposed last month in L.A. In the November 2011 issue of Sister 2 Sister magazine, Good told publisher Jamie Foster Brown that although she had met someone special she was in no rush to get married. At the time, the “The Like a Man” star also said that she was practicing celibacy and focusing on her career and relationship with God. She told Brown that she’d had a conversation with God and the next man she dated would be her husband.
