		<description><![CDATA[Neffe and Elite vent their frustrations on Keyshia Cole turning her back on her family and releasing a statement acknowledging that she was no longer speaking to them.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p>
<p><strong>From NecoleBitchie:</strong></p>
<p>Keyshia Cole’s sisters Neffe and Elite were on V103’s  Ryan Cameron show earlier today to announce that there will be a  second season of the “Frankie and Neffe” Show. While there they had the  opportunity to vent their frustrations on Keyshia Cole turning her back  on her family and releasing a statement acknowledging that she was no  longer speaking to them.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Neffe:</strong> You could never cut your blood  loose no matter what you are doing on this earth. It runs through our  veins. I’m gonna keep it 100. My sister decided to live a different  life. It’s not because “oh we ghetto, we belligerent and loud”. We are  all cut from the same cloth. [We all came from Frankie] If you see us,  we out there, it’s just that Keyshia keeps hers from behind closed  doors.</p>
<p><strong>Elite:</strong> When I read it I was shocked. It was hurtful  too. I had just come off of tour with Keyshia. We had 3 or 4 tours, I  worked for my sister, I was her assistant for 8 months so I worked. I  was shocked [by the statement].  Last time we spoke to her we didn’t  think it was going to be a public permanent thing. When we last spoke to  my sister, we had a family dinner to discuss some family matters and  she was a little upset about the whole Frankie and Neffe Show.</p>
<p><strong>Neffe</strong>: She is upset about it. She did not embrace  the fact that “The Way It Is” was done and they had picked up “Frankie  and Neffe”. We didn’t ask for that. We  didn’t go to her and said “Sister Sister please can you give us a show.  Can you give us a shot. Can we be stars”. We never asked Keyshia to do  anything for us. She brought us down here to make our lives better but  it didn’t get better, it got worse”.</p></blockquote>

<p>Neffe went on to say that she was holding her own in California but  things changed when she moved to Atlanta.</p>
<blockquote><p>For the record, I love my sister but you have to  understand this is real life this is not a game. She’s a beautiful  person. The “Way It Is” didn’t cut us no checks. We didn’t start seeing  no money until the Frankie or Neffe show.</p>

<p>The reality show that he and Dawn (formerly of Danity Kane and now of Diddy&#8217;s group Dirty Money) has been picked up. All this time, we though they&#8217;d broken up. Hopefully, this is one couple that can withstand the reality romance curse.</p>

She got that ring but now he&#8217;s making her wait. He don&#8217;t really love her&#8230;&#8217; For once&#8230;I&#8217;d like to tell the story as it is. Not as it&#8217;s told.&#8221;</em></p></blockquote>
<p>What does her fiance have to say?</p>
<blockquote><p><em>“I wasn’t making her wait. If anything, I was waiting for her to slow down. She was doing her own thing, handling her business and we were happy. When it was time to take it to the next step we did. Period.”</em></p></blockquote>
<p>So has he ever doubted for a minute that La La Vazquez is Mrs. Right, one with life, mindset (and bank account) of her own? Melo speaks slowly, but surely:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>“I wouldn’t be with her if it was any other way.” “Understood?”</em></p></blockquote>

<p><strong>On her early hustle:</strong><br />
&#8220;I would get off the air at 6, take a shower, and go straight to school,&#8221; recalls La La of her early radio days as a 16-year-old on-air personality during the overnight shift in Atlanta. When Ludacris got his own show, La La had to hold her own as his sidekick. &#8220;They didn&#8217;t want me there,&#8221; she told Latina. &#8220;We joke about it now. But I had to fight to hang on to my spot.</p>
<p><strong>And on her black Puerto Rican roots:</strong><br />
“The essay,” she says solemnly. “The responses hurt.” She’s speaking of a <a href="http://hellobeautiful.com/your-world/hello-beautiful-staff/lala-vasquez-sets-record-straight-on-being-latina/" target="_self"><em><strong>first person piece she recently wrote for Latina.com</strong></em></a> on being Puerto Rican, in which she explained that, since childhood, people have often assumed that she is black. “Which I am!” she says, almost yelling. “But I am also 100 percent Puerto Rican and I’m proud of that. People got it twisted and thought I was saying, I’’m Puerto Rican. I’m not black. That isn’t what I was saying. It’s just that when I tell someone I’m Puerto Rican, I don’t want to hear someone say, ‘You ain’t Puerto Rican. You black.’ As if I can only be one or the other. Do I look like Jennifer Lopez? No. Clearly, I’m a black woman. However you want to define that, that’s what I am. And I’m also a Spanish-speaking Puerto Rican woman. Period.”</p>

<p>TULSA, Okla. (AP)—Marion Jones hasn’t lost much of her swagger.</p>
<p>The disgraced sprinter once called the world’s fastest woman was introduced Wednesday as the newest member of the WNBA’s Tulsa Shock and she offered no apologies for her steroids use or her time in federal prison. She was poised and ready for questions about her troubled past.</p>
<p>“The word redemption is not in my vocabulary,” Jones said at a news conference, flanked by team president Steve Swetoha and coach Nolan Richardson. “I’m a competitor, I want to play against the best in the world, and I know that I will be doing that.”</p>
<p>Her bid for a new career comes a decade after she starred at the Sydney Olympics, winning gold in the 100 meters, 200 meters and 1,600-meter relay, and bronze in the long jump and 400-meter relay. She was stripped of all five medals after admitting in 2007 that she was using performance-enhancing drugs—a designer steroid called the “clear”—at the time of the games.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000"><em><strong>Text continues after gallery…</p>
<p></strong></em></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;ct=res&amp;cd=4&amp;ved=0CA8QFjAD&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fqa.newsone.com%2Fnation%2Fmarion-jones-on-oprah%2F&amp;rct=j&amp;q=marion+jones+site%3Anewsone.com&amp;ei=JAWZS8XiBouutge5jpWwCQ&amp;usg=AFQjCNE43ghDw6nL6fV_fYEgkGfFBsuDTw&amp;sig2=TQ1USN6p-Lv74yjarjqpbw">RELATED: VIDEO: Marion Jones On Oprah</a></p>
<p>Jones also spent about six months in a Texas prison for lying to federal prosecutors about doping and her role in a check-fraud scam.</p>
<p>The 34-year-old Jones joined the team just four days after working out for Richardson, who is also the team’s general manager. She was signed to at least a one-year contract but terms were not disclosed.</p>
<p>Jones was the starting point guard on North Carolina’s national championship team in 1994 and she was drafted by Phoenix in 2003 but never played in the WNBA.</p>
<p>“I think when I even started to think about this 10 months ago, I know how much the game has grown from the time that I played,” Jones said. “And that became even more of a challenge for me, because I know that although I know certain things and played a certain way, that it’s 10 times faster, that the athletes are 10 times more skilled.”</p>
<p>WNBA president Donna Orender, who attended the news conference, said Jones generates interest in the league because she’s a highly accomplished athlete who has competed on a global stage.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;ct=res&amp;cd=17&amp;ved=0CBgQFjAGOAo&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fnewsone.com%2Fentertainment%2Fsports-entertainment%2Fcasey-gane-mccalla%2Fblack-baseball-player-calls-afro-latino-players-imposters%2F&amp;rct=j&amp;q=black+athletes+site:newsone.com&amp;ei=XwWZS7rZGs6Utgf0q-m2CQ&amp;usg=AFQjCNF6kwDbhzaQHCDUojJiRrt1mGxIhQ&amp;sig2=bptrmVvZlcydOnvxpIMxdA">RELATED: Black Baseball Player Calls Afro-Latino Players “Imposters”</a></p>
<p>“This is a tremendous, real-life story of a person who made a choice that was not a wise choice, but is saying listen, ‘I’m going to be a role model, I’m going to showcase what I’m going to do with the rest of my life,”’ Orender told The Associated Press. “I join the rest of America in wanting to watch this story unfold.”</p>
<p>Jones will join a team that is a work in progress. All-Stars <a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/wnba/players/420/;_ylt=AkCozKMTkTa3wMLRWY4fJaFbvrYF">Deanna Nolan</a> and <a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/wnba/players/225/;_ylt=AlWN06oLHQvE0mV4DAMC6fdbvrYF">Katie Smith</a> had agreed to contract extensions, but apparently won’t play for Tulsa when the season begins in May.</p>
<p>Richardson said Nolan has indicated she intends to skip the upcoming season to rest instead of relocating with the team, which moved from Detroit in the offseason. And Smith, a six-time All-Star, has already said she doesn’t plan to play in Tulsa and is listed as a free agent by the league.</p>
<p>Also unknown is how much of an initial draw the city’s only major pro sports team will be. Tulsa County has a population of about 592,000 and Tulsa is the second-smallest city with a WNBA franchise, behind Uncasville, Conn.,—where the Sun play in a casino that draws millions of visitors per year.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;ct=res&amp;cd=6&amp;ved=0CBUQFjAF&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fnewsone.com%2Fentertainment%2Fwhere-are-the-black-athletes-for-obama%2F&amp;rct=j&amp;q=black+athletes+site%3Anewsone.com&amp;ei=QQWZS4CTIpCYtgfFuO2wCQ&amp;usg=AFQjCNGyzwpJmJpXWQSXTpH9s0n2ZVB5rQ&amp;sig2=loMIHfYs7IBAvNfJuFiOYw">RELATED: OPINION: Where Are The Black Athletes For Obama?</a></p>
<p>“She made some ill-advised decisions in the past, but everyone deserves a second chance to excel at something they love,” Swetoha said. “The city of Tulsa gave a struggling franchise from Detroit a second chance, and I’m confident it will do the same for Marion. We couldn’t be happier to have her on board.”</p>
<p>The Shock will play at 18,000-seat BOK Center downtown. The franchise itself has a great pedigree: The Shock made their WNBA debut in 1998 and won titles in 2003, 2006 and 2008.</p>
<p>Richardson, who led Arkansas to the men’s NCAA championship the same year Jones won the title at North Carolina, plans to play the same “40 Minutes of Hell” style in the WNBA.</p>
<p>“Watching her go through drills, I saw a player who’s perfect for our system,” Richardson said. “The one thing I do know is she can run, and any player on my team who wants to be successful needs be able to run.”</p>
