Cops confirm Natina Reed of Atlanta R&B group Blaque fatally hit by car

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Gwinnett County police confirmed Saturday that Atlanta R&B singer Natina Reed of the female group Blaque was killed late Friday after being struck by a car just north of Lilburn, but authorities ruled out a hit-and-run, contrary to earlier online reports.
“As of right now, it does not appear that the driver has any fault in this event,” said police spokesman Sgt. Rich Long, who added that it was the driver who contacted police about the accident. The driver, who was not immediately identified, was not expected to be charged, the spokesman said.
Initial unconfirmed reports on MTV.com and Vibe.com and in multiple Twitter postings said Reed, a 32-year-old protégé of the late TLC singer Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, was struck while crossing a street in a hit-and-run accident. She would have celebrated her 33rd birthday Sunday.
After the initial reports, Long told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he couldn’t confirm the identity of the victim at the time but said police received a call around 10:30 p.m. Friday that a woman had been struck by a red Honda Accord on Lawrenceville Highway (U.S. 29) near Hamilton Road, just north of Lilburn.
Long said investigators were still trying to determine why Reed was in the roadway and whether she was crossing or walking alongside it. The spokesman said CPR was performed at the scene and Reed was taken to Gwinnett Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead at 10:59 p.m.
Long said other than the driver and a passenger in the car, there did not appear to be any additional witnesses. The spokesman said the investigation was continuing and that more information would be released as facts become available.
Reed’s fellow Blaque members reacted to her death in tweets Saturday. Shamari Fears-DeVoe tweeted, “My world as I know it has forever changed. Until we meet again, may you find comfort in the arms of an angel. I love you Natina.”
Brandi Williams, another member, tweeted, “Last night the world was changed forever, life will never be the same….she was my sister.” The group also has included singer Erica Pullins.
Later in a joint statement, Fears-DeVoe and Williams said Blaque had reunited and was in the process of working on a new album and a reality show.
“Natina continuously embodied the pioneering spirit of Blaque and her undeniable creativity touched the hearts of fans everywhere. Natina was a mother, sister, accomplished songwriter, artist and friend,” the statement said.
Multiple messages were posted on Twitter expressing condolences, including those from Def Jam co-founder Russell Simmons and V103 personality Egypt Sherrod.
Billboard named Blaque as the 4th Best New Artist in 1999. Lopes signed Blaque, whose hits included “808” and “Bring It All to Me”, to her Left Eye Productions label. Lopes was killed in 2002 in a car crash in La Ceiba, Honduras.
Reed also starred in the 2000 cheerleading movie “Bring It On” with Williams and Shamari-DeVoe. The New York City native is survived by a 10-year-old son, Tren Brown, from a relationship with rapper Kurupt.

Black woman set on fire in alleged KKK attack
- From .telegraph.co.uk
A 20-year-old Black woman woman was set on fire in a KKK related race attack in Louisiana.
The family of 20-year-old Sharmeka Moffitt says 60% of her body was burned in the horrific attack, which is being investigated by the FBI as a hate crime Photo: SPLASH NEWSBy Katinka Dufour
Sharmeka Moffitt was exercising alone on a walking trail in a city park in Winnsboro, Louisiana when three men wearing white hoods allegedly attacked her.
The men doused her in a flammable liquid and set her on fire causing third-degree burns.
Miss Mofftitt had put out the flames using water from a spigot before police responded to her 911 call.
Miss Moffitts’ sister Michelle told the Shreveport Times: “She called 911, then she called me. She said she had been burned, she had been set on fire. I stayed on the phone until I got (to the park) even though she wasn’t able to say anything.”
The letters “KKK” - in reference to the white supremacist group Ku Klux Klan - were spray painted on the hood of her car as well as a racial slur.
Miss Moffitt could not recall what race her attackers were. The place where the attack took place has no surveillance cameras but the crime lab is analysing multiple pieces of evidence.
The FBI is investigating the attack as a possible hate crime but no arrests had been made as of late Monday according to Louisiana State Police spokesman Lt. Julie Lewis. Speculations that the victim was wearing an Obama-campaign t-shirt hen the attacked occurred were denied by her mother.
Franklin Sheriff Kevin Cobb called it "a horrific event" and said authorities would "follow the facts and seek justice".
Miss Moffitt is at the LSU Medical Centre Shreveport in critical conditions.
Her mother said: “They want to take the dead skin off and place other skin there if they can. I have no idea who did it…I want them to pay for what they did to her.” She also said that on “both of her arms, there are third degree burns down her chest and legs-first degree. Basically her arms are real bad.”

News: Nas Says "Bye Baby" To Georgia Mansion
Sunday, Oct 14, 2012 8:37PM
Written by Cyrus Langhorne
New York rap veteran Nas has reportedly lost a Georgia home to a bank auction after falling behind on hefty payments.
According to reports, Nasty Nas could not keep up with mortgage payments which resulted in the home getting foreclosed.
Life's a bitch ... Nas sang it and now he's living it ... because besides being knee deep in tax debt, TMZ has learned the rapper just lost his Georgia crib to foreclosure. According to official records, Nas purchased the 2-bedroom, 3-bath pad back in 2004 for $585,000 ... but according to SunTrust bank (which issued him the loan) ... Nas couldn't foot the bill and defaulted on the payments, still owing $507,000. SunTrust recently foreclosed on the property and then sold it to the highest bidder at public auction last month for $348,500 ... WAY LESS than the rapper paid eight years ago. It's a steal for the new owner -- the house is over 3,500 square feet with a walk-in pool and hot tub ... granite counter-tops ... custom theater ... gym and game room. (TMZ)
 |
| Nas' home in GA is being forclosed on. |
The next time you buy a Nas album, you're really just handing your money over to the government -- because the rapper's delinquent tax filings have caused Uncle Sam to begin garnishing his wages ... TMZ has learned. As TMZ first reported, Nas is in tax debt up to his eyeballs ... if you his eyeballs were $6,000,000 tall. So the government has finally tired of waiting for Nas to pay up, so they filed documents in the state of Georgia to have his wages garnished -- via the music publishing organizations BMI and ASCAP -- until the debt is paid off. So if you like Nas, but hate the government ... perhaps you'll want to find an alternative way to listen to his music. (TMZ)
Last year, his financial woes circulated across the Internet.
Nas is the latest rapper to make headlines for tax troubles. God's Son reportedly owes the government over $6 million for a property he owns in Eagles Landing, Ga. This isn't the first time Nasir has has problems with the IRS; for the last three years he filed liens. In addition, the Queens, NY MC reportedly owes money for his condo in his hometown. Managers of the building claim he failed to pay his $420 a month assessment fee since January of last year, and have also filed a lien. (XXL Mag)
Outside of legal problems, the rapper recently hinted at his desire to hook back up with ex-wife Kelis.
Rapper Nas offered his ex-wife Kelis an indecent proposal recently when he sent her a late-night sex text. The star confessed his lusty thoughts to fans during a show in London on Monday night, revealing he let his urges get the better of him. According to NME.com, the rap star said, "You know, I text her the other night. I said, 'Can we make love one more time?' Seriously!" And he also revealed he's still reeling from the bitter 2010 bust-up: "(It) still hurts bad. That pain is real, y'all." He made the comments during a performance of "Bye Bye Baby," which is believed to be about his ex. (SF Gate)

Stacy Dash Shocked by Romney Support Tweet Backlash
| Oct 11 at 12:47 pm
“Clueless” actress Stacy Dash felt “saddened and shocked” after she received a barrage of online abuse for endorsing Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romeny, but has praised the politician’s team for supporting her during the fallout.
The actress voiced her support for Romney in a post on Twitter, and she was bombarded with nasty messages from followers who condemned her for not backing incumbent Democrat Barack Obama.
She has now opened up about the dispute in a candid interview with TV host Piers Morgan, revealing she was stunned by the harsh comments over her political opinion.
Dash says, “I really don’t understand the fury. I don’t understand it. I don’t get it… I am shocked. Sad, not angry. Saddened and shocked. Really shocked. But you know what, you can’t expect everyone to agree with you… (It was) pretty harsh…
“It is my right as an American citizen. It’s my constitutional right to have my choice of who I want to vote for for president… And I chose him not by the color of his skin but the content of his character.”
The actress also reveals the dispute prompted Romney’s running mate Paul Ryan to give her a call.
She adds, “He said thank you so much for your support and that I was brave and that they support me. And I thought that was just so generous and kind, you know. Lovely, really.”

Stars of ‘The Last Dragon’ Taimak Guarriello (l.) and Leo O'Brien (r.) film
'I've Seen Things’ on 135th St. in Harlem in 2011. O’Brien died at age 41 Wednesday morning. Leo O'Brien, a star of the cult classic "The Last Dragon," died in New York on Wednesday at age 41, family and friends said. The cause of death was not released. His friend and former castmate, Taimak Guarriello said only, “He’s been having a little problem.” "He's been through a lot of tough times," Guarriello said. "It's unfortunate." PHOTOS: STARS WHO LEFT US TOO YOUNG RELATED: "BAD NEWS BEARS" STAR KILLED BY DRUNK DRIVER IN LOS ANGELES O’Brien, who was trying to put his checkered past behind him and resurrect an acting career, was shot three times in Harlem a year ago after an argument with an acquaintance. “I’m a fast healer — kind of a mutant,” he told the Daily News at the time. “I’ve been told if this happened to someone else, they’d be dead.”
Leo O'Brien in 'The Last Dragon' After hearing about the shooting last September, Guarriello reached out to O’Brien, visited him in the hospital and rekindled their friendship. The two began filming a short indie flick a month later, their first collaboration since the 1985 martial arts musical produced by Berry Gordy.

O’Brien — who ran several businesses after a string of arrests that landed him in jail for eight years — was cast as a charming Harlem gangster. The movie has not been released, but Guarriello said he had hoped to include O'Brien in other upcoming projects. "He was very talented," he said. "It wasn't like he lost his talent." In “The Last Dragon,” Guarriello played the lead character, Bruce Leroy, and O’Brien played his charismatic little brother, Richie.

"I think people should remember him as the talent that he was," he said. "He was a sweetheart and he had a good sense of humor." Guarriello said he learned of his pal’s death from O’Brien’s son, Drew, who mourned his father on Facebook with the message: “R.I.P to my father Leo Obrien. You will be dearly missed. I love you.”
