Hot on the promotional trail for season 2 of ‘Braxton Family Values’, soulful diva Toni Braxton paid a visit to E!’s Chelsea Lately last night.
There, the Grammy winner chatted it up with host Handler about many a topic, including being down with the “swirl”, going on dates with her ex-husband, as well as starring in the show everyone’s talking about.
Peep the hilarious interview after the jump…
Your thoughts?
Is this what she has become? Poor girl.
She needs to talk about different topics if she wants people to take her serious.
It’s like she pretends to be Blond on talk shows.
Toni Is Looking Fierce…#Legend
LOVE LOVE LOVIN THE LONG BLK HAIR
She needs to work the weave when her new pop album comes out
Cookie & Carl, You can’t possibly be serious after looking at a 3 min interview think you know what a person has “become” or who they really are! And why does everyone think having fun is having a “blond moment”?? Get cho life ppl, then live your life pls! Not everyone wants to hear an interview about “gloom & doom” or topics that belong on the News at 11! This is why Toni has been successful even in the 2nd half of her career. She stays young, fun, and entertaining…
I guess she doesn’t want to do anything with her sisters. She won’t cut an album with her sisters. She won’t do promo with her sisters. While I do think that Tamar is over-the -top, obnoxious, disrespectful and delusional (not to mention arrogant, air-headed and pompous). It is becoming painstakingly clear that Toni is the SUPREME DIVA (not that she hasn’t earned such a title), but c’mon; these are your sisters. Why is it that you’re only happy when they’re working for you. Toni didn’t understand why Tamar was tired of being a background singer (um, maybe because she has dreams and aspirations of her own). Toni seems determined to keep Towanda as her personal assistant/back-up singer/nanny, even though Towanda has made it clear that she wants to persue an acting career. I don’t think that Toni wants her sisters to tread the same waters as her. She’s used to being the star, and she wants to keep it that way. At least in entertainment. Tamar can have her little reality show buzz, but music is (and I quote) “Toni Braxton’s family business”. Tamar may not be able to handle success (I do agree with that), but Toni can’t handle sharing the spotlight. At least that’s the way it seems.
@ NALEVE (AKA TAMAR) Who said it was a bad thing?? You need to defend your sisters in real life! And stop attacking ppl on the blogs. This is not about you!!!
totally cosign everything @indepentthinker said…toni seems a little selfish when it comes to bringing her sisters to the foreground. Besides doing this show
LOVE IT! TONI I AGREE WITH YOU 100% REGARDING THE WHITE BROTHERS…LOL
She looks really good!
Love Toni!
I agree with Toni being selfish…she hasnt done any promo with her sisters except on Wendy. But she can do her solo promo?
I would like to see Chelsea interview Tamar…that would be funny
I love Toni Braxton, but like most Americans, she is totally obsessed with colour. Calling white men snowflakes is not good, I think she needs to be aware that she has an international audience which could be alienated by the use of certain terminology.
In England white is white, black is black and mixed race is mixed race.
It is just not acceptable to use terms such as chocolate, snowflakes, caramel etc when describing races.
I’m Disappointed by her!
as a public Black figure, i think she’s giving black people a bad look, when she talks about “white people skin’s sent” and things of that nature. I think she’s portraying a racist and ignorant side of Herself! and a certain type of Black People.
Tell Me What You Think About this Comment !

Let’s call it what it is. First Toni has always been a supporter of her sisters from the onset of their careers as the Braxtons, to continuing support when she became a successful solo artists and even helping to give her sisters SEVERAL records deals. She has ALWAYS been around her sisters her entire life/career and now the sisters (especially Tamar) has gotten some recognition (because of Toni) everyone wants to make it seem as though Toni doesn’t want to be a part of them which is untrue. The only reason the sisters are known is because of TONI! and now they want to use her celebrity to advance their own careers. Toni has talent, Tamar has a lot of mouth which doesn’t result in success (i.e. the tribute to Gladys Knight was horrible). NEXT
All these comments about Toni Braxtons “selfish” nature buffle me. Its quite clear the those who posted such dont have a clue of Toni Braxtons journey began. Let me “school” you a bit on that then, so that you could stop grabbing at loose straws. Firstly as it already been stated Toni Braxton didnt start out as a solo artist, she was part of the group the Braxtons when she was discovered by Kenneth Edmonds and him and Clive only wanted to sign Toni, but then she said that she wont be able to do anything with anyone unless her sisters where to be lined a deal as well, which did happen and they released a c.d together which didnt fare well in the public, this was around the when Toni had just released her debut. Then later on around the secrets era she managed to negotiate a another deal for the Braxtons minus her this time because of the plight of her career, she couldnt afford to be a group nd a solo artist at such a time. Then around the same time Tamar managed to land a solo projet, which was great to say the least but failed to lauch her. Fast forward to the first season of Braxton family values. Toni has said even before 2010 that Tamar had been running the idea of a family reality show with she was sceptical in doing but then decided to do just because of her sisters and because she wanted to get some topics off her back(her lupus and bankrupcy). She did the show and it managed to lauch her sisters ambitions to the eyes of the public. Fast forward to the second season where she stated before it even began that she would be having less of a role this season because she wants to rework her brand outside the reality show and not forgettin that she was moving to L.A and the show is shot in Atlanta(dont know how she can be at two places at once), but now some of u choose to see that as her distancing herself. And to correct one of you Toni never said that music was a “TONI BRAXTON FAMILY BUSINESS” she said that “MUSIC IS A BRAXTONS FAMILY BUSINESS”
@Blackchild So what the show is shot in Atlanta? Tamar lives in LA and she is damn near in every scene!…lol and rework her brand outside of the reality show? She needs to use the reality show in order to revamp her brand! Love Toni voice but lets get real when is the last time Toni album did good. Even TI is using a reality show to revamp his image. People say she is distancing herself because I have yet to see Toni do an interview with her sisters, and I’ve seen a good handful of them
Toni is an established artist… She is sharing the spotlight and giving her sisters the opportunity to make their own careers. She would lose herself by joining the group with her sister. She is doing the right thing, after all it’s her life…. Who are we to judge?
Love Toni, she looked lovely!
But I do agree that the colour thing should stop.
Don’t like her outfit though.
Arrongant fake lookin thang!
This is such an awesome resource which you are delivering and you give it away at no cost. I really like seeing web pages that realize the value of delivering a top quality resource at no cost. It?s the old what goes around comes about routine. Did you acquired lots of links and I see lots of trackbacks??
