VIDEO: Mo’Nique Wins Best Supporting Actress Oscar

Strawberry Letter 23: Fighting Temptation

Brother Steve, I’m needing advice on a personal matter. I am 45 years of age and engaged to a beautiful and wonderful woman. I’m unemployed and unease about this situation, but she is fine about this because she believe and understand our GOD will provide employment, despite my past drug addiction and criminal background. Yes, I’ve been drug free for 3 years without attending any NA programs. Now, we live together in her house with her 26 years of age daughter who works and attend college. The problem is when the daughter decides to parade around the house in underwear. I’ve confronted her many of times about this disrespectful behavior and it’s always, “This you like what you see remark?” It’s been a situation where she has made sexual advances. What must I do about her unwanted advances and disrespectful behavior towards me and her mother whom I love very much. Please help, I’m fighting temptation.

Actress, comedienne and TV host Mo’Nique won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in “Precious.”

She beat out Vera Farmiga, Anna Kendrick, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Penelope Cruz, as she did at the Golden Globes.

“I would like to thank the Academy for proving that it can be about the performance and not the politics, ” she said at the podium before thanking the cast and her husband. “To my amazing husband, Sidney — thank you for showing me that sometimes you have to forego doing what’s popular, in order to do what’s right.”

This was Mo’Nique’s first Oscar nomination and she joins a small sorority of Black women who have won Oscars. Hattie McDaniel claimed best supporting actress in 1939’s “Gone with the Wind,” Whoopi Goldberg won best supporting actress for 1990’s “Ghost,” Halle Berry took best actress for 2001’s “Monster’s Ball” and Jennifer Hudson got best supporting actress for 2006’s “Dreamgirls.”

Ron Banks, singer and a founding member of veteran R&B group the Dramatics, died March 4  at his Detroit home of a reported heart attack. He was 58.

Originally a vocal sextet known as the Dynamics in the early O60s, the group changed its name and became a quintet comprised of Banks, William Howard, Larry Demps, Willie Ford and Elbert Wilkins. The Dramatics scored its first R&B-charting single (No. 43) in 1967 on the Sport label with “All Because of You.” But it wasn’t until four years later that the Dramatics broke into national consciousness with the 1971 Stax/Volt hit “Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get,” which peaked at No. 3 R&B and No. 9 pop. The Dramatics claimed an R&B No. 1 the following year with “In the Rain.”

Between 1972 and 1980, the Dramatics also recorded for ABC and MCA, notching seven more top 10 R&B singles. Those songs include a cover of “Me and Mrs. Jones,” “You’re Fooling You,” “Be My Girl” and “Welcome Back Home.” Over the ensuing years, the Dramatics underwent several personnel changes, the most notable occurring in 1973 when L.J. Reynolds and Lenny Mayes replaced Howard and Wilkins in 1973.

Banks, whose sweet falsetto helped give the Dramatics its signature sound, was a Detroit native who was born May 10, 1951. He is survived by his wife Sandy and six children. Banks is the fourth Dramatics member to pass away following the deaths of Wilkins (1992), Howard (2000) and James Mack Brown (2008).

D’Angelo was arrested this weekend after allegedly soliciting oral sex from an undercover police officer in New York City.

From the New York Post:

Grammy Award-winning R&B singer D’Angelo was arrested early yesterday after allegedly offering an undercover policewoman $40 for oral sex while cruising alone through the West Village — with $12,000 stashed in his SUV.

D’Angelo, 36, whose real name is Michael Archer, was in his top-of-the-line Range Rover at Greenwich and Horatio streets at about 2:30 a.m. when he spotted a woman he took to be a prostitute, sources said.

He was arrested and charged with solicitation after asking the woman for sex, the sources said. His manager declined to comment.

According to the AJC, the owner of an Atlanta recording studio is suing comedian Katt Williams for $1 million, saying the comic threatened him with his dog in order to avoid paying a debt.

Merion Joseph Powers’ lawsuit, filed in Fulton Superior Court, is the latest in a series of legal woes for Micah “Katt” Williams.

In the civil complaint filed Wednesday, Powers is asking for damages for assault, battery, false imprisonment, damage to property and intentional infliction of emotional distress. He also wants to be paid for the time Williams spent in his recording studio, which Powers said totals $28,600.

The suit cites two alleged incidents as the basis for Powers’ claim — one at Powers’ recording studio last October and another a month later at a Midtown Atlanta hotel.

According to the court filing, Williams and his bodyguards came to Powers’ studio early one morning last October for a scheduled appointment. Williams allegedly brought his dog, which was not described in the complaint.

While Williams was working inside, his dog was allowed to roam freely outside where Powers said his son also was walking their pet. “Williams walked outside and gave his dog a verbal attack signal, at which point Williams’ dog ran to and attacked Powers’ dog. Powers and his son had to pry Williams’ dog’s teeth off of Powers’ dog,” the complaint said.

Powers’ dog allegedly suffered “substantial and nearly life-threatening” injuries.

Powers said the next month Williams invited him to the Four Seasons luxury hotel to discuss the debt and the dog attack.

Powers said he arrived and was directed to a chair in the middle of a room and surrounded by Williams’ bodyguards.

“Williams entered the room and immediately began insulting Powers, calling him a ‘punk’ and hurling expletives at him,” according to the complaint obtained by the AJC Friday. “Williams said he learned that Powers might press criminal charges against him for the dog attack and stated that he would kill him if he did file such charges. … Williams’ attack dog was snarling directly in front of Powers, apparently waiting for the attack signal.”

Powers said he asked to leave but Williams would not allow it.

“Williams explained that Powers must be living in a cave if he did not know what was about to happen and asked if he knew of anyone coming back from the dead,” according to the complaint.

About that time, hotel security knocked on the door and a few moments later Atlanta police officers arrived.

Williams told the media at the time that he was kicked out of the Four Seasons, an incident that is also cited in Powers’ complaint. Williams complained to reporters that the city and the hotel were ungrateful for all he had done for the city. He also said he had recently bought a penthouse at the hotel and had also just rented seven rooms for a week.

“I haven’t been here 72 hours and I’m being kicked out of the Four Seasons even though I paid up front and in cash. I don’t understand,” Williams told a television reporter. “I’m standing out here with millions of dollars in movies and TV specials sold and most of them done right here in Atlanta. And to be ceremoniously dismissed at a hotel is sad.”
