Brandy's Betrothed!

Brandy's engaged. No, seriously.

The R&B singer, who was accused last week of faking her marriage to producer Robert Smith, is engaged to pro hoopser Quentin Richardson, per People magazine.

The NBA shooting guard popped the question to the former Moesha star at a private reception attended by both of their families and close friends Tuesday at L.A.'s Century Club.

Helping convince the 25-year-old entertainer, born Brandy Norwood, was an 11-and-a-half-carat diamond ring valued at $1 million from designer Jason Arasheben, who reportedly finished the gem only 30 minutes before the proposal.

It will be the first marriage for both, we think.

Speaking out on Wendy Williams' syndicated radio show last Monday, Smith labeled his so-called marriage to Brandy a hoax meant to maintain the singer-actress' wholesome image when she became pregnant with his child.

At the time of her pregnancy, Brandy announced that she and Smith had secretly tied the knot a year earlier, a decision purportedly made at the urging of Brandy's mother-manager, Sonia Norwood, who didn't want her daughter tagged as an unwed mother.

The singer didn't deny the bogus marriage report but said she was "hurt and shocked" by Smith's revelations. While not a legal union, she insisted they had "spiritual union and a true commitment to each other."

The couple, who are parents to two-year-old Sy'rai, called it quits last year.

Brandy, who's currently promoting her fourth album, Afrodisiac, reportedly took up with 24-year-old Richardson following her split with Smith.

A rising star in the NBA, Richardson spent his first four seasons with the Los Angeles Clippers. This summer he signed a six-year, $45 million deal with the Phoenix Suns.

dayummmmm, ginaaaaa!

He had to get away from the Clippers before he could marry her. Nobody wants to be married to a Clipper.

She's probably pregnant again. That seems to be the only reason she gets married....kinda married....common law married...shacked up? I'll believe it when I see it, and even then I probably still won't believe it, not after what she just did with her previous husband...boyfriend....shit, baby's daddy.

What's the rush?

Speaking of the Clippers (btw, didn't somebody "Kobe Bryant" them recently ), i'd think she'd be more frightened that Robin Powers and her hellacious horde of hoop-hoes may have taken his sperm count into the netherworld.



Then again, maybe getting hoop-hoed ain't all that bad.

I'll remember that the next time you make reference to that obscure dude you keep referring to.
Or George Michael for that matter.

I'm drawing a blank...who da bloody hell is Robin Powers?

Supernova said:

She won that Oscar for her role as Robin in Thatgreedy Bitch

psykosoul said:

Wouldn't that be Robin Givens?

Supernova said:

It's actually Robin Power (no s).
She had a small role in Graffiti Bridge and was mentioned in an article on NBA groupies. http://www.ejeanlive.com/basket.htm

If you pan at their feet, they probably got the old LA Gear hi-tops with the two-tone laces and the California license plates!

No wonder I didn't remember: I've repressed the Graffiti Bridge debacle from my memory.

Didn't mean to be the bearer of bad memories.
Feel free to re-repress.

You're getting sleepy...
