The magazine also mentions a cook show on the horizon for Toni Braxton and chef Rocco DiSpirito. More details soon... Make sure you pick up Jet Magazine and People Magazine.

Toni Braxton & Alec Mazo Good Morning America

Toni Braxton & Alec Mazo interviewed by Good Morning America. (I know I said I would not post anymore on the topic, and I won't. But if it has to do with Toni I will, but I will not be mentioning "that show.") Toni don't be down,  you have a hot new album coming out soon, and that's going to be your "breakthrough." 


Toni Braxton and Family


Here is the photo Toni Braxton and her family took for People Magazine. Courtesy of Blackcelebritykids.com

When singer Toni Braxton is not worrying about her health(the singer suffers from Microvascular Angina,a condition of the heart), she is busy being a mom to her two boys and a wife to musician Keri Lewis:

Toni Braxton prides herself on being a mom,whipping up a bowl of linguine with clam sauce(a family favorite),helping with homework and playing endless games of SpongeBobMonopoly.Older son Denim,6,(pictured above) “is smart,” says Braxton.”He Googles everything,” including some sites that have his mom grateful for parental controls. Recently, he’s been begging for an iPhone because, as he reasons,” How else am I going to vote for Mom on Dancing With The Stars?”

While Denim started school earlier than his peers,when her son Diezel(pictured above) was a year old,Braxton could tell that he was developing differently and was lacking in vocabulary and motor skills.”He wasn’t saying my name.No eye contact. he wouldn’t say ‘cup” or ‘juice’,” Braxton says.”As a mom,you can tell.” The same day she learned after numerous consultations with specialists, that Diezel was autistic, she had to go onstage at the Flamingo[in Vegas]. In tears,she broke down and told the audience what had happened.”You tend to blame yourself,”Braxton says.”Is there something i did wrong? A lot of times,parents are in denial because they want to think their child is perfect. But it’s just that these kids have to be taught differently. Diezel has a sensory issue,for example. When we go to movies,we bring his earmuffs because certain sounds pierce his ears.He told me it’s like sharp pencils poking his ear.”

Today an ABA(applied behavior analysis) specialist accompanies her son to kindergarten and works with him at home. “A friend of mine told me,’Toni,all these autistic kids in the world now,they are God’s new angels,and they are here to show us life differently,’” says Braxton,who also serves as a spokeswoman for the charity Autism Speaks.”I’ve been embracing that.I’ve come to terms with it. He is a wonderful kid.”

…………WHAT IS MICROVASCULAR ANGINA?………
Angina is the chest pain that occurs when blood flow is restricted to the heart muscle. Braxton’s condition is attributed to blockage in the small arteries. Also known as Cardiac Syndrome X,the condition affects more women than men. With medication and regular exercise,” Toni’s prognosis is excellent,” says Braxton’s cardiologist, Dr. Jay Schapira of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

Toni Braxton leaving Jimmy Kimmel



Toni Braxton was spotted leaving the Jimmy Kimmel live show last night after being prematurely booted from Dancing with the Stars. I guess you can now call the show Dancing with the Has Beens because I have no idea who the rest of them people are, the Star has left the building. Therefore this will be my last post about the show. I definitely will no longer be watching. Love you Toni!

Thanks to Anonymous for the video. 

Here's a message from Alec Mazo's blog. 

Hi Guys; 
  
Thank you so much for your support last week, Toni and I appreciate the fact that you helped us get a chance to perform for you again this week. 
  
Here is just a short note to update you and let you know, what to expect on Monday night. 
  
As you may know, Toni and I will be performing the West Coast Swing, which is new to DWTS. What is great about that is that we can't be compared to past performances and we get to set the bar of course with Lacey and Lance. 
  
We were conventional last week so this week will try something different however there will still be a lot of swing in the program. We will be dancing to a Michael Jackson song, see if you can guess which one. 
  
Toni continues to amaze me with her work ethic and her progress. 
  
Please watch Monday night and VOTE for us, we are not finished yet, we have a lot more to show you. 
  
See you on DWTS. 
  
Alec

Toni Braxton New Single Next Month



Toni Braxton was greeted by camera's leaving Mr Chows with Dancing with the Stars partner Alec Mazo last night. Also present at her birthday dinner were her video director Billie Woodruff, manager Troy Carter, husband Keri Lewis, sister Tamar Braxton & her husband producer Vincent Herbert, and Alec's wife Edyta Sliwinska. When asked about her new record deal with Atlantic Records she mentioned that her new single will be out next month produced by Rodney Jerkins aka Darkchild. I can't wait and let's hope it's true. We all know in Toni time next month = 6 months lol. 

Toni Braxton @ Mr Chows


Safe from elimination, Toni Braxton and family decided to hit up Mr Chows again for her birthday celebration after DWTS. I would have went (I knew she would be there), but I had too much work to do. Go Team Brazo!

Happy Birthday Toni!



The birthday girl, performed tonight on DWTS. (PS did you peep Shanice Wilson and I think Sparkle sitting next to Keri in the audience?) Anyway, I thought the dance was good! Entertaining, yet different. I like that she took a risk and didn't play it safe. And like Tyra Banks once taught me, it's good to take risks. Not everyone will like it, but sometimes a masterpiece may come out. Although, not exactly a masterpiece, it definitely wasn't a train wreck, so people need to stop hating. Also Cloris needs to GO HOME!!! She's getting on my last nerve, talk about starving for attention. Anyway, here's to a happy birthday to Toni Braxton. You can still vote online at ABC.  Vote for Toni and Alec! 

Sneak Peak for DWTS

Toni Braxton will be channeling Marie Antoinette. That's all she reveals. Take a look at her video blog from today. Remember to watch Dancing With The Stars tonight on ABC 8/7c. and vote for Toni and Alec.  I can't wait to cop that issue of People Magazine.
