"Hands Tied" was her best single since "He Wasnt Man Enough. I ADORE that song. Agreed, and I'm still crazy over "Make My Heart." I feel like the song had everything going for it (the video was a little TOO campy, but I liked it) and if someone like lesser-knowns LeToya or Shontelle did it, it would have been a hit at urban! Go figure. |

January 24, 2011, 4:26 PM ET Judge Allows Foreclosure Of Toni Braxton HomeBy Jacqueline Palank  The holder of mortgage debt on Grammy-winning singer Toni Braxton’s home won bankruptcy court approval to launch foreclosure proceedings against the Georgia property. Court papers show that Judge Barry Russell of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Los Angeles on Friday lifted the shield protecting Braxton, who filed for Chapter 7 liquidation in September, from the reach of US Bank. As Bankruptcy Beat previously reported, the bank - which represents the holder of Braxton’s mortgage debt - had argued for the right to launch foreclosure proceedings on the grounds that Braxton doesn’t have any equity in the Duluth, Ga., property nor is the mortgage holder’s interest in the property adequately protected. (Braxton herself doesn’t own the property; a trust does.) As of Nov. 23, US Bank said Braxton owes the full $1.5 million on her mortgage, while the property itself been appraised at $1.2 million. Braxton took out the mortgage from Wells Fargo Bank in 2004, and the lender later transferred its interest in the debt to a trust set up to administer a pool of mortgages for investors in those securities. Braxton had earlier told the bankruptcy court of her intention to remain in her single-family residence, part of the Sugarloaf Country Club community. But David Gill, the bankruptcy trustee appointed to liquidate Braxton’s assets, said last month that he would abandon the property. In court papers, Gill acknowledged the lack of “realizable equity” for the singer’s creditors and its “inconsequential value and benefit” to Braxton’s estate. Meanwhile, the singer behind such hits as “Un-Break My Heart” and “You’re Makin’ Me High” is gearing up for the premiere this spring of a new reality show. Braxton and her four sisters, all aspiring singers, will appear in “Braxton Family Values” on the WE Network this April, as the Associated Press reported earlier this month. |

WE's 'Braxton Family Values': A preview of Toni Braxton's sisterly drama -- EXCLUSIVE VIDEOby Tanner Stransky  What do you get when you combine one formerly huge Grammy-winning R&B singer from the ’90s, her four musically gifted sisters, and their manager mother? WE’s Braxton Family Values, which debuts on the network April 12 at 9 p.m. The reality series follows “Unbreak My Heart” diva Toni Braxton (“The Superstar”) as she tries to get back on top after dealing with debilitating illness and a very public bankruptcy. Also in the mix are her four sisters — Traci (“The Underdog”), Towanda (“Mrs. Congeniality”), Trina (“The Wildcard”), and Tamar (“Baby”) — as well as headstrong momager Evelyn (“The Force”). As you might imagine, a quintet of sisters led by Toni Braxton is like a little hornet’s nest of drama. EW has a two-minute-long exclusive clip from the premiere episode with EW, exemplary of what will play out amongst Toni and her background vocals-singing sisters during the series. “I love my sisters so much,” Toni says in the clip, “but I cannot deny that some days I wish I could just have my own background singers. There have been moments where I’ve been on tour and had my own background singers, and let me tell you: Life was good.” Watch it here. *** LMAO @ Tamar and her demonstrating the choreography she's "learned."

Not Your Average Reality TV Show - The Braxton Family Values Preps Fans For Drama, Family, Love, MoreDate: 3/29/2011 12:08:39 PM | Aleta Watson  Five sisters but only one spotlight! Follow the Braxton sisters - Grammy-award winner Toni Braxton, Traci, Towanda, Trina and Tamar along with their vivacious mother Evelyn as they give you a first hand account of their family drama. Not just another reality tv show - 'Braxton Family Values' will air April 12th at 9pm on the women's network, WE tv. Last night, the cast of the upcoming reality series hosted an intimate screening of the show's first episode. Afterwards, a no-holds-barred press conference was held where the cast dished about sibling rivalry, marriage horror stories, health issues, Toni's bankruptcy, finding forgiveness, and so much more. The event, held at the decadent Aja Restaurant in downtown Atlanta, was the perfect atmosphere to get the inside scoop on this electrifying first season. First up, what are the Braxton's family values? "Forgiveness, sometimes you don't like each other but you have to learn to get along," says Toni. "Being a singer is what I do for a living but the heart of me is being a family member." She goes on about her personal family values in saying, "It is very important to me as a mom who has a special needs child. They don't talk about the part that the divorce rate is 80 percent because everything is challenged. So family values is very important to me. My parents are now divorced after 35 years. For me trying to hold on to that family unit is very important, but sometimes it's challenging when you realize you can't work it out." Mom, Evelyn, spoke out about her rocky road to forgiveness with her unfaithful husband. "It takes time to be holy. It takes time to get over a lot of pain and anxiety and disillusion but I'm glad that in this point in my life, because life is too short, I'm learning to let go." In the spirit of keeping it real, Toni was asked how she has managed to cope with bankruptcy twice in such a short time span. She responded, "My sisters told me you have to tell your story because no one knows what really happened. Everyone knows I have heart issues but no one knows why. So in the show I reveal why my health problems led to my financial problems, which led to my career choices. I'm going to expose that and I'm a little uncomfortable about exposing personal health issues but it's true." Tamar, came to her sister's aid and said, "And even on the days that she feels down, we don't let her feel shamed. If we all have roofs over our heads, she'll never be without. That's my sister and I love her to pieces. So if I have a dollar, she has .50 cent of it." This tight-knit bond goes back to how Evelyn raised her five girls, "One thing I taught my daughters is to be close and love one another. Family is everything." Traci says the message fans will get from the show is that, "Every woman is a Braxton girl." Tamar adds on that, "I think you'll find yourself in one of us in some point in some episode." Lastly, rumors have been circulating for years about the numerous Playboy offers Toni has received. Is she considering it? Toni playfully said "You will find out on the 10th episode. That's the last episode and you will find out." Tune in to see the hilarious antics, cat fights, family drama, and most importantly the love that the Braxton sisters share in their upcoming series.
