THE FACTS
Kelly Price recently addressed some members of the gospel community she believes don’t necessarily practice what they preach.

THE SPIN
I still listen to Kelly Price’s Secret Love like her debut album came out a week ago. Same for gems from her second album like the Pissy (that’s R. Kelly to you) remix to You Should’ve Told Me, As We Lay, and She Wants You.

I’ve always been a big fan of her voice (listen to her on the background of Mariah Carey’s The Roof) so I was a little disappointed when she took that brief departure from R&B in favor of strictly gospel music.

I respected her choice, but to be honest there are some gospel singers who rub me the wrong way. They sing about God, but when you catch them in person or even in candid interviews sometimes seem about as holy as happy hour at Magic City.

Like I said, some, so please don’t rebuke me in the comments section.

That said, I’m happy to know that despite her becoming closer to God, Kelly’s still aware that she’s human and that she’s not holier than thou like some members of the gospel ilk.

She touched on some of “those folks” and how they treated her shifting to gospel music in her interview with Elv8:

“It’s been a mixed bag. Everyone at first was overjoyed. Some of that joy turned to dismissal when people realized that I was not willing to make the announcement that they wanted me to make. That announcement was for me to say that I was wrong for all of the years that I sang R&B and that I had been converted and that I would never sing R&B again. I refused to make that statement because I didn’t backslide to sing R&B. Doing the gospel album that I did and touring with gospel artists opened my eyes to a lot more than I even cared to know about people who sing gospel music. We need to be careful about what we’re allowing our young people to listen to. I say that because I’ve been on the road with a lot of these people and just because the genre is gospel doesn’t mean that the music itself is. Just because people call themselves gospel singers, that’s just a title and doesn’t mean they’re living a sanctified life. Check my life. Chile Please!”

Amen.

THE FACTS
Beyonce received a worst actress nomination for her role in Obsessed.

THE SPIN
Despite being the belle of the ball at the Grammys, Beyonce still has a long ways to go in the acting world.

Look no further for proof of this assertion than the nominations for the annual Razzi Awards.

The Queen Bey has the distinct honor of joining other singer turned actresses like Mariah Carey and Madonna after securing a worst actress nomination for her role in the film, Obsessed.

First of all, “I’ll show you crazy” is one of the greatest lines of all-time (yes, I said that in my Kanye voice) so I don’t appreciate the shade being thrown at Beyonce.

Then again, I’m one of the few people out there who doesn’t think she’s the worst actress alive. I happened to think she did a great job in Cadillac Records. Granted, Obsessed made me appreciate the cinematic brilliance of movies like Howard The Duck, but I didn’t think Beyonce did worse than anyone else in the film (particularly Idris Elba and his horrible accent).

Anyhow, check out the nominees below and chime in: Is Beyonce that bad an actress?

THE FACTS 
Mariah Carey recently accepted an award for her role in Precious intoxicated at the Palm Springs International Film Festival.

THE SPIN


I don’t think Mariah Carey has ever made her affinity for wine a secret. But, I can’t recall her stepping to the stage noticeable tipsy either. And no, that TRL appearance doesn’t count. I think she was high off life that day.

Anyhow, the video says it all. It’s like watching your drunk aunt deliver a speech at the table during Thanksgiving – the one year you decide to bring someone around your family.

In her defense, she probably didn’t think she was going to win. I probably would’ve been throwing back bottles of Pinot, too.

Love you, Mimi.
