Now, we give you a front row seat to the show. In a format similar to ‘The View’ or ‘The Real’, TGJ editors – Sam, Rashad, Joe, and Ryan – get real in a very candid way.

Today’s roundtable topic asks each anchor their thoughts on the…

‘Love & War’ took on new meaning in the life of singer Tamar Braxton over the past few months due to her highly publicized battle with mental health and wellness as well as virtual showdowns with ex-fiance David Adefeso (as we’ve reported here).

Nene Leakes is continuing her tirade against Wendy Williams, Bravo, and Andy Cohen.

As reported, the ‘Real Housewives Of Atlanta’ original is none too impressed that the talkshow host spoke about her during an appearance on Cohen’s ‘Watch What Happens Live.’

Williams didn’t hold back when quizzed on the post-RHOA options in Leakes’ path; indeed, she fervently rejected the idea of there being interest in a spin-off show starring Leakes and her family.

At the time, Leakes let rip on social media. And now, she’s taken to YouTube and unleashed there too.

The Timbaland and Swizz Beatz-created #VERZUZ platform has become a cultural phenomenon of epic proportion.

Calling on some of music’s most celebrated to square their catalogs against each other, names like Monica, DMX, Jill Scott, Brandy, Snoop Dogg, Erykah Badu, Patti Labelle, Ne-Yo, John Legend, Gladys Knight, Alicia Keys, and many more have taken to the Web sensation to show off prized hits from their respective discographies in a ‘battle’ format.

A consistent ‘ratings’ winner, the popularity of the hit-for-hit showdown has seen music lovers call for their favorite acts to engage – requests that have been met with surprisingly mixed results as the likes of Chris Brown, Usher, and other big names have all declined invitations to compete (as we reported here).

A name consistently atop viewer wishlist is Toni Braxton – a multi-Platinum selling R&B veteran who boasts over 60 million records sold worldwide, over a dozen top 10 R&B hits, and a catalog lined with some of the genre’s favorites from the last 30 years.

When quizzed on if she’d partake in a diva duel with a worthy counterpart, her response got tongues wagging.
