Review: This film was the typical Negro film with flesh, but the most memorable scene was the ultimate cat fight between Diamond & Ronnie.
The movie follows the lives of Diana Armstrong (LisaRaye McCoy) who is trying to make ends meet while being a single mother and a college student. At her job working in a shoe store Armstrong meets Ronnie (Chrystale Wilson) and Tricks (Adele Givens), two shady strippers who are also bisexuals, who talk Armstrong into stripping for Dolla Bill (Bernie Mac) at The Players Club. Their saying of the moment is “use what you got to get what you want.” Taking this motto into consideration, Armstrong makes the move towards booty shaking for dollars and is crowned “Diamond” by Dollar Bill.
Four years after becoming the club favorite, Diamond’s cousin, Ebony (Monica Calhoun) moves in with her and needs a job also. Under the corrupt influence of Tricks & Ronnie, Ebony gets out of control and begins to doing “side jobs” despite Diamond’s objections. After being brutally beaten and raped by Ronnie’s brother, Junior (Samuel Monroe Jr.), Diamond sets out for revenge. Two strippers (Diamond & Ronnie) entered a fight in the dressing room, but only Diamond walks away leaving Ronnie a bloody pile on the floor. Not only was that Diamond’s final “F.U.” to Ronnie but her resignation notice to Dolla Bill. Later Armstrong, formerly known as Diamond, is now a news anchor, dating Blue (Jamie Foxx) and has set Ebony up with a job at the shoe store she herself started out in. Her parting words of advise to her cousin once again were: “Make the money, don’t let it make you.” 8 blades and a B for a film that has been deemed a top Negro Ghetto Classic.

Ashley Judd seems to have added her happy ass to the long list of folks in denial of the monster that their precious industry (the W.O.S.) has created. Judd has taken it upon herself to reiterate the obvious while ignoring the giant wizard puppeteer behind the puppets.
espite the truth that there are no set programs, more than half of the shows are unconfirmed, the first week or more have only been previews of what MIGHT be shown, and more than half of all television viewers have yet to see anything on the OWN Network, mainstream
2010 has been another year where the WOS Celebs have stepped their game up in the category of bullshit, hot mess, and sloppiness. Yesterday, two WOS young bloods were in battled in another Internet War of Words. Twitter has become the "safe zone" to attack folks behind a computer and have the fans directly involved. Instant bullshit brought to everyone's and anyone's computer screens - whether asked for it or not.
As many gleam over the multiple of things that has been added to her list of "deeds" which deed became her turning point. ... Negating her sexuality (that has little to do with her public actions as far as I'm concerned) what is really going on with her? ... She doesn't seem to read or comprehend some of the books she pushes through her "book club" being that two frauds have been discovered. She only "confronted" one of the frauds because the other media began to question her intelligence and if she and her cohorts even fact checked their information.
