Tyra Banks, who Forbes in 2006-2007 estimated her paycheck to be somewhere in the neighborhood of 18 million for that year, has inked a bigger deal with Warner Bros. The multi-year deal calls for additional reality series and tv scripted programs. She also is making her foray into movies with direct to DVD projects in [...]

How To Make A Comeback: Lesson 1. Start A Blog
Comeback Girl would like to thank all her Comeback readers for stopping by. In a month this blog is near 3,000 views and every once in a while I see alot of email referral links (particularly about Deb Gotti-Love Her!!!!). I’ve done the writing completely under the radar (and with some spelling mistakes SORRY-but eating [...]
Salt N Pepa: "You Aint Gotta Go Home…But"
So your most favorite Comeback Girl in all the world (moi) is tempted to make a ringy dingy (call) to VH1’s NYC office to ask if this show is slightly scripted, because reality could not be this damn funny.
Stage left: Pep enters Salt’s house (with kids) while the remodeling of her first home and decorating [...]
Irv "Suck It Up" Gotti
Last night’s episode had us tuning in to Irv telling his boys to “man up” after one loses a football game. Deb and Irv Gotti have differences in child rearing opinion-having her side on “its ok for the boys to cry when they lose”.
But Irv, how short our memory is, when a previous episode had [...]
The Other Side Of Frank Lucas: Mayme & Bumpy Johnson
As the world awaits the unveiling of American Gangster, Comeback Girl did a little digging to find some notable women behind this story, and she is a Comeback Girl in her own right, albeit of the underworld. She’s 90 plus now, so I suppose Comeback Girl #1 can have a little amnesia and some fascination [...]
What Does A Gangster Look Like At 77?
The answer if you were scratching your head is Frank Lucas, recent inspiration of Denzel Washington’s protrayal in “American Gangster” and BET’s episodic recount of the most famed in Black History. Got to love black history especially when the roughest toughest crime lords get glamorized. It all made hip hop what it is today.
(more to [...]
Let It Go Files: Terry McMillian
Terry McMillan has become the poster girl for reformed homophobe and is covering the urban gay community magazine: UNEQ. Great PR move since Smoking Gun website released transcripts of Jonathan Plummer being referred to as “little faggot” by McMillan. Apparently she dishes about Plummer stealing money from her private bank account.
The motivation: Plummer’s upcomming book. Comeback [...]
Comeback Girl Song of the week: Mary J's "Just Fine"
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvAkxSYDlcA&rel=1&border=0]
I love the song. I feel like I could make some major moves watching this video. Unfortantely Blige’s album project keeps getting pushed-so Comeback Girl’s inspiration a la Mary J Blige is limited.
But when pumping this song in the car, I feel like I could start a business, remove negative people from my life, ask [...]
Kimora Lee Simmons: The Queen of Opulence, Media & Marketing
The Style Channel recently rounded out its Kimora Lee Simmons’ fall season with some mind boggling numbers particuarly concerning the premeire averaging 335,000 total viewers, more than doubling Style’s primetime average for the third quarter to date.
All Diddy's Women & Ciroc
At last post I wrote about Deb “Gotti” Lorenzo and how impressed I was with her “Come To Jesus”. As a hip-hop wife, I think she totally gets it. She doesn’t want to leave the burbs for a bigger house and worries that the house they may have to move into will not be paid [...]
