38. My prayers are not with her on this one. She knew what she was getting into and whenever you deal in a world of hate, deceit and homosexuality you will pay a price. She needs to be left to learn from this.

I will pray for her general well being, but her turning away from Godly principles is what got her in this mess.

Not that I wish anything bad to happen to Hannoy Jane and whats-her-name Cradle Robber of Gold digging bisexual gigolos…but number seven sounds like something Hollywood would do…

I can dream, can’t I?

A hypothetical converation with Terry McMillan.

Q: Hey Terry McMillan, with all the shame and embarrassment you’re suffering surrounding your recent revelations, how do you sleep at night?

A: I sleep with a GREAT BIG PILE OF MONEY!!

Q: Come on now Terry, don’t you really find yourself hiding behind your bitterness?

A: Well…,no. But you can find me hiding behind a bigger pile of MONEY.

Q: Ms. McMillan, money is’nt everything. It can’t buy happiness. And money won’t make a bad person good.

A: You’re right money is’nt everything, it’s the ONLY thing. It bought me several years of my style of happiness. Furthermore, GOOD investments will always keep a BAD person rich.
This interview is over, wheres my check?

“Her bitterness has begat bitterness.”

Amen to that Chris Roberts. Exactly my point, she will never find a “true love” as long as she continues to harbor so much anger and resentment in her heart. I truly believe that you attract the very kind of people that you are yourself. Such is the case with Terry McMillan.

I pity this woman because it is blindingly obvious that she is hurt and devastated, yet from reading the article, to many she will appear as strong or even resiliant. Hiding behind bitterness and anger is not strength but is often the tools employed by women when they are hurt or betrayed and the world applauds them for it. She will make money from this experience and when she does, there is no doubt that in her mind she will be vindicated. Don’t be fooled, this woman needs some serious emotional and spiritual help.

I lived abroad for four years and have traveled a lot, so I’ve seen this situation. If you keep your eyes open, you wise up pretty quickly once you land in a country–the combo of depressing poverty and desperation creates people who want to take advantage of those from the developed world.

This one is sorta tricky because about the time “Stella (and Terry) Were Getting Their Groove On”, my aunt and a few of her friends were running down to the islands acting like “Stella’s” (and we started calling them that too The majority of the comments she had was how the young men all “fawned” over them when they were there and all the “nice things” they said, blah, blah, blah. (One of the trips her daughter went with her, who came back saying it was pretty unenjoyable because the men hover around the American women like flies on xxxx but the older women eat it up).

My aunt used to pay some young guys way to come visit her here in the states (mind you he always seemed to have a reason to hang out in NY with so called relatives on her dime), buying clothes and having them sent to him, and other stuff. Anyway, these young “gigolos” are no where in site now that she’s 60+, had a stroke, and the money has dried up.

I actually pictured Angela Bassett for the lead in Waiting as opposed to Whitney (prior to any actresses being announced).

I didn’t see “Stella,” but I saw Angela Bassett (who is indeed beautiful) in the first movie. She was the most enjoyable part of a bad film, inexplicably featuring the acting- talentless Whitney Houston.

It was just so obvious what the relationship was about and that it wouldn’t last, but publicists and the press have a way of creating so much hype. I just don’t know what else to say about Terry if she thought this guy married her because he loved her and not because of her money and fame.

She should’ve known better, definitely…but I can’t help but feel a little bad for her. It certainly makes her look foolish.

That movie was on one of the cable channels the other night, and being alone and bored, I tried to watch it. Angela Bassett was luminously beautiful and Taye Diggs is a doll, but I couldn’t continue. Having a 22-year-old son myself, the thought of falling for a 20-year-old was particularly gag-inducing.
