AcTrEsS/cOmEdIaN yVeTtE wIlSoN DiEs At AgE 48

Comedian and actress, Yvette Wilson age 48 (seen above), passed away yesterday after her long battle with stage 4 cervical cancer and kidney failure. 

Ms. Wilson was best known for her "Def Comedy Jam" stand ups, as well as her recurring role as Andell Wilkerson, from the UPN sitcom, "Moesha" and spin off sitcom "The Parker's". Personally, I enjoyed Ms. Wilson's performances and appreciate the talent she left us with. My condolences to the Wilson family at this difficult time.

Best friend and "Moesha" co-star, Shar Jackson, tweeted this yesterday about her dear friend Yvette: "F--k cancer... Oh god. My heart is so unbelievably broken."

Jackson added, "I want to thank all my tweeties for their prayers but god has chosen to take my sister Yvette home."

Sunrise: March 6, 1964 and Sunset: June 14, 2012. Yvette you will be deeply missed.

I must say, it sure feels good to see Whitney in action again -- and at her best nonetheless. We get to see her beautiful face on screen one last time. I can not wait! 

Sparkle due out this summer August 17th. Look out for it!

LeGeNdArY sInGeR wHiTnEy HoUsToN dEaD aT 48

Seeing the breaking news on CNN yesterday about Whitney, I felt like I was in a time warp. The news didn't seem real and at first I thought it was a mistake. I changed the channel and learned the story had broke on other news outlets as well.

I broke into tears and covered my mouth thinking, "No! She's to young! She has a baby! I love her!"

Growing up I felt like Whitney was a family member, that's how often her voice was present in my home. I grew up singing Whitney's songs in musicals, plays, chorus, gospel choir, church and in the shower! Most talent shows I sang her songs, and was always so proud I could hit every note!

I'm devastated beyond belief. Waking up today knowing she's really gone, still isn't sitting well with me. Although she's gone from the physical world, I'm sure she's shining brightly in heaven.

God bless you Whitney, for sharing your powerful vocal cords and beauty with us all. I pray her daughter Bobbi Kristina, doesn't let this moment in time cripple her for all her life, and I pray it makes her stronger. 

My condolences to the Houston family and friends.
