Quotable: Chilli Says “To Hell” With Cheaters!

Amelia McDonell-ParryApril 9, 2010 //

“I’ll just say this: it wasn’t that I just experienced cheating with Usher because he and I never discussed that in detail. That wasn’t the first time I experienced cheating in a relationship. I’ve never cheated but I don’t know any woman on this planet who hasn’t experienced something like that, whether it’s cheating during the relationship or cheating during a breakup, which some people don’t consider cheating because you’re not technically together but you still haven’t really broken apart. I think women are so afraid to talk about things with guys in fear of him leaving, but if he’s going to be afraid from having a conversation, then the hell with his ass!”

— Chilli from TLC, on ex-boyfriend Usher’s cheating and infidelity in general on her Vibe.com blog. No scrubs, right Chilli?! Keep reading »

An Ode To Mermaid Girl: TLC Airs The Final Chapter

Ami AngelowiczDecember 14, 2009 //


“Some people are the same and some people are different,” said Shiloh Pepin, aka Mermaid Girl, who was different, alright. She said a lot of profound things for a little girl with a flipper. I have been following Shiloh’s story for the last two years as a series of TLC documentaries captured her swimming ahead in spite of the many challenges she faced as one of three known people living with Mermaid Syndrome. I think the moment I fell in love with her was when she was being fitted for a custom wet suit and she turned to a woman in the shop and shouted jubilantly, “I’m a mermaid!” “Yes!” I thought. I’m a mermaid, too! Just without a flipper. I am awkward, unsure, and fumbling through life—we all are. But Shiloh was able to embrace … no, own, her challenges in a way that I am envious of. For that, the little mermaid will always in inspire me. Keep reading »

TLC Looking To Sue The Ed Hardy Pants Off Jon Gosselin

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comOctober 19, 2009 //

How, how, have Jon and Kate Gosselin managed to milk a disintegrating marriage into months worth of drama that just won’t leave us alone? The latest in the debacle: TLC is suing Jon, saying that he’s used his concerns over his kidlets to wiggle out of his contract with the network. Their version of the story goes like this: They tried to contact Jon to let him know their intentions to change the show from “Jon and Kate Plus 8″ to simply “Kate Plus 8,” but were unable to reach him before making the public announcement. The day the news broke, the production company received a call from Jon’s lawyer, giving them an hour to release him from his contractual agreement. When they refused, he went public saying that he thought filming the show through the divorce was detrimental to his kids’ health and filed paperwork barring filming from continuing. Basically, he gave them the ultimate middle finger. Keep reading »

TLC To Perform For The First Time In Seven Years

Nikki DowlingAugust 26, 2009 //

Don’t go chasing waterfalls. Instead, make sure to get tickets (or at least set up your DVR) to Justin Timberlake‘s Shriners Hospital for Children benefit concert in Las Vegas on October 17, where TLC will be giving their first live performance in seven years. In 2002, Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes was killed in a car accident, but the two remaining members, Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins and Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas (who has a VH1 dating show premiering soon), know the show must go on. Also performing at the concert will be Taylor Swift, Alicia Keys and Ciara. No scrubs, indeed. [People] Keep reading »

“Police Women of Broward County” Promises To Be The New “Cops”

Susannah BreslinJuly 28, 2009 //

“Bad girls, bad girls, whatchoo gonna do? Whatchoo gonna do when they come for you?” Or, more importantly, what you are going to do when the “Police Women of Broward County” come for you? A new reality TV show from TLC, this 10-part documentary series set in Broward County, Florida, reveals life on the streets for the female sheriffs who patrol it. “Some Moms pack lunches. These Moms pack heat.” Wielding Taser guns, armed with handcuffs, and willing to push anyone in their way to the ground, these are the ladies you do not want to mess with — unless you are looking to spend the night in jail. “There’s always a good time to use a Taser,” Andrea Penoyer, a 26-year-old mom, explains. You go, girl! The program premieres August 6 at 9 p.m. [YouTube] Keep reading »

VH1 Gets Spicy

Justine FieldsJune 30, 2009 //

VH1 must be starting to think it’s the Spice network, because two of their just-picked-up shows star well-seasoned hip-hop veterans. Sandra Denton (you know her as Pepa of Salt-n-Pepa) and Rozanda Thomas (a.k.a Chilli from TLC) are each getting their own reality shows where they try to find the man of their dreams, a la “Rock of Love.” Both shows are currently untitled, so I’m looking forward to seeing how VH1 will try to spin the two identical ideas in different directions. Interestingly, the two shows are coming out of different production companies. Which makes me wonder if VH1 signed on for both so that I could have fun making spice jokes? [Variety] Keep reading »

The 16-Year-Old Girl Who Is Still A Baby

Justine FieldsJune 24, 2009 //

Turns out, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” might not have had the most ridiculous plot ever. One 16-year-old girl, who will be the focus of a TLC documentary airing in August, hasn’t aged since toddlerhood. She has three sisters ages 22, 19 and 13 who all grew up perfectly normal. But Brooke Greenberg is literally a fountain of youth—she’s 16, but still a baby. She’s survived numerous medical mishaps including stomach ulcers, a brain seizure, a stroke, and a brain tumor that caused her to sleep for 14 days before waking up, just fine. When she was younger, her parents gave her growth hormone therapy for six months, to no avail––Brooke didn’t gain a ounce or grow an inch. She can’t talk and still has her baby teeth. Doctor’s aren’t at all sure why Brooke hasn’t aged. While this kind of freaks me out, medical experts believe that her DNA could unlock the key to aging. I just can’t believe it took 16 years before the entire world heard about her story. [ABC News] Keep reading »

What We Think Jon And Kate’s Announcement Will Be

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comJune 22, 2009 //

By now, you’ve probably seen the promo for tonight’s “special episode” of “Jon & Kate Plus 8″ approximately 98 times. If you’re one who likes to jump to conclusions, you’re probably assuming that the big announcement the commercial teases is that Jon and Kate are getting divorced. But I’m not so convinced—they’ll probably drag out that drama for another eon or so. After the jump, my best guesses at what this big announcement could be: Keep reading »

    Get A Piece Of TLC

    Annika HarrisNovember 6, 2008 //

    Earlier this week, we told you VH1 is casting Atlanta’s hottest men who want a piece of TLC’s Chilli. Well, now it seems the former members of the Grammy Award-winning group are really hard up for cash because T-Boz, whose real name is Tionne Watkins, is selling off her belongings. We came across this ad on Craiglist, which unequivocally states that T-Boz’s designer fashions, furnishings, antiques and, even, holiday decorations are up for grabs. Keep reading »
