Kandi-JET

Season six of The Real Housewives Of Atlanta has been the show’s most action-packed yet — thanks largely to the narrative of Kandi Burruss, boyfriend-turned-fiance Todd Tucker, and of course, Mama Joyce.

Viewers of the Bravo hit have watched with shock, awe, and open jaws as the singer and businesswoman has tried to navigate through the drama that is her personal life.

Still, in pressing on and promoting the upcoming DVD release of her aptly titled musical ‘A Mother’s Love’, Burruss styles and profiles a-front of JET magazine’s April 2014 issue.

Peep the cover above and excerpts below…

On Her Hustle Factor

“When I speak about anything on camera I want to accomplish it before we finish taping. I am a ‘do what I say’ person. I want people to know I’m not a [phony].  I hate when people on reality shows mention how they want to do this and that, but you never hear of it again”

On Fiance, Todd Tucker:

“I love that Todd is affectionate and relationship-oriented. But he’s also a leader and a planner, and because of his production background he makes me a better businesswoman.”

On Mama Joyce:

“When my mother was younger it was all about getting a man to be a provider. She leans toward a man who is financially more well-off than the dude who is just a good guy. I’ve dated guys who are more successful than me, and my mom is like, no matter what he does wrong, you have to work it out.”

The latest issue of JET is on newsstands now.

Those ‘Fresh Prince Of Bel Air’ syndication checks may continue to line the pockets of the show’s stars 18 years after it wrapped, yet that hasn’t halted the hustle of Tatyana Ali.

The actress, who played loveable Ashley Banks on the hit sitcom, stopped by The Breakfast Club on Power 105.1 today.

There, she dished on her upcoming movie ‘November Rules’, as well new music. Perhaps, most interestingly though, the 35-year-old revealed that she was glad when ‘The Fresh Prince’ wrapped.

5,616,000.

The above, as Bruno Mars should already be aware of, is the number of units moved by his new album, ‘Unorthodox Jukebox’, worldwide.

It’s these sales figures, coupled with revenue pulled from its supporting tour and the star’s other lucrative ventures that have earned him a spot on Billboard‘s ‘Music’s Top 40 Money Makers 2014‘ list, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Beyonce, Rihanna and Taylor Swift!

Where the ‘Treasure’ holder ranked?

When not blazing stages, Beyonce lends her superstar brand to many a charitable effort.

Indeed, beyond the singer’s own #BeyGood initiative, Ban Bossy is the latest empowerment campaign the 32-year old is supporting.

Aimed at young girls, Ban promotes the idea of erasing of the word “bossy” when it comes to describing leadership potential in females. For, according to its manifesto:

“When a little boy asserts himself, he’s called a “leader.” Yet when a little girl does the same, she risks being branded “bossy.” Words like bossy send a message: don’t raise your hand or speak up. By middle school, girls are less interested in leading than boys—a trend that continues into adulthood. Together we can encourage girls to lead.

A TV commercial  for the powerful cause featuring King B was today placed in rotation. Check it out below…
