Just wanted to let you guys know, I know there's quite a few Latoya fans here. I was at the park with a hundred or so third graders and they were shooting her music video in the basketball court of an elementary school next to the park. They were there at least an hour before the kids figured out who it was. She was very sweet, waving at all of the kids screaming her name. One of the kids was yelling "Latoya, we got ice cream for you!" and she said back "Be sure you keep it cold!". After they filmed the scene a few times she went to take off some makeup and signed autographs for the kids. She was really friendly and animated with the kids, and got her ice cream too. The kids were really excited, my son didn't get an autograph but shook her hand through the fence. A PA came by and answered questions. He said they were filming for an ABC special and that the video would be played on MTV, too.

Thanks for posting Meli. I knew LaToya had recorded a song with BlackTop for her upcoming CD but I didn't know they were making a video. That's great! Can you tell us where they were filming it? [i.e., was it in Oaktown or what?]

What kind of music is that? I am not familiar with Blacktop. I miss LaToya I remember I liked Jasmine, even voted for her, but I still can't figure out how she got further than LaToya (not that it matters at this point.....like who remembers Jasmine? Poor girl. Anyway, *I* am a LaToya fan, so I really appreciate hearing about her! Kewl. What city was it in?

I don't want to say exactly which city I live in, they were only filming that one day or else I would have told you guys to show up today! Someone asked if they were coming back and they said they were wrapping up yesterday. I'm a little south of LA, but definitely not anywhere near Hollywood. The biggest thing that happened in this city is when they filmed an episode of CHips here in the 80's! I never heard of BlackTop before but from far away he looked pretty fine! The song they were playing was definitely hiphop, the guy was rapping and Latoya was singing. We couldn't figure out why they were filming in a school playground but it made more sense when we learned the male was "Blacktop". I think they might make it look like they're at an inner-city basketball court (hoops with no nets) because she was sitting over a graffiti wall-looking thing and they were holding up extra chain-link fences. She was really cute, waaaay too much makeup, very petite and tiny. She was very nice to the kids, as were her family members/friends(?) Anyone know about the ABC special the production assistant was referring to?

I just saw Latoya London playing "Nettie" in "The Color Purple". Along with Michelle Williams of Destiny's Child and three (3!) of the original Broadway cast members. The show's run is coming to an end here in Chicago, so I wanted to catch it. I've had the tix for 2 months, and took my mom. We loved it. Michelle is painfully thin IMHO.
