Last year, BV Buzz ran a story called 'Tinseltown Talk: Nia Long Lashes Out at Music Stars Who Act' that featured several quotes from Nia Long's interview with the UK magazine Pride venting about musicians who land movie roles.

This year, the glossy has an interview with actor Taye Diggs, who worked opposite Long in the movie 'The Best Man.' In the two-page Q&A, writer Joanna Abeyie asked the star of ABC's 'Private Practice' what he thought about Long's comment: "If you're a singer, not an actress, you should sing."

"Oh, Nia," Diggs lamented. "Like, what was she going to do in 'Dreamgirls?'"

Stephen "tWitch" Boss is a Montgomery, Ala-bred dancer who became a household name on the hit Fox reality series 'So You Think You Can Dance.'

Having first appeared on the show in season three, tWitch was cut from the competition just shy of making the top 20. He returned to the show for season four and danced his way to the finals, where he ended up being the runner-up to the show's winner, Joshua Allen.

Now the 27-year-old dancer, who currently calls Los Angeles home, is trying his hand at acting, with roles in the forthcoming films 'Stomp The Yard: Homecoming' and 'Step Up 3-D.'

BV Buzz caught up with tWitch in Atlanta, which is where he shot 'Stomp the Yard: Homecoming.'

For several years now, BV Buzz has been reporting that Will Smith is not a Scientologist.

The Oscar nominee addressed the rumor almost two years ago – read the BV Buzz story 'Will Smith: Actor Clears Up Scientology Rumors Again,' published on Sept. 16, 2008.

Regardless, many journalists, like one of my favorites, Roger Friedman of the Showbiz 411, have constantly scrutinized Smith's friendship with known Scientologist Tom Cruise and chastised him for donations he made to the religion's organizations, despite the fact that the contributions paled in comparison to the amount of money he has consistently given to Christian-based organizations over the years.

Keyshia Cole's mother, Frankie Lons, is among the cast of characters named for the next season of 'Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew.'

Actor Wesley Snipes is set to serve three years in prison after a court rejected the actor's appeal of a conviction on tax evasion charges.

In 2008, the 47-year-old star of 'Blade' was found guilty of not filing tax returns from 1999 to 2001 and therefore failing to pay the government nearly $12,000,000 in taxes.

Snipes was sentenced to 36 months in prison but declared the sentence was "unreasonable" and filed the appeal.

Actor Idris Elba recently returned from hosting 21 students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities on an excursion to South Africa for Coca-Cola's first "Open Happiness Tour."

"This was a life-changing and moving experience for me," Elba told BV Buzz. "I've been to Africa a couple of times since my father was from Ghana and mother Sierra Leone, but this was one of the most moving and powerful trips I've ever had."

The HBCU students hosted by the star of films like 'Obsessed' and 'Daddy's Little Girls' were selected after participating in a video competition to describe how they were inspired by the Coca-Cola RAIN program – Coca-Cola's 'Water for Schools"campaign for schoolchildren in Africa and around the world.

BV Buzz has learned exclusively that Grammy winner Alicia Keys has parted with her longtime manager, Jeff Robinson.

The 29-year-old singer, who has been represented by Robinson's MBK Entertainment since the beginning of her career, supposedly ended her business relationship with Robinson earlier this week.

There are multiple rumors as to why the pair is ending their business relationship, but one rep for Keys -- she has two -- told BV Buzz that it was "amicable" and sent a joint statement on behalf of the singer and her former manager.

Lumberton, N.C.-bred singer Phillip Bryant has inked a new deal with Tyscot Records to make his national recording debut.

The singer, songwriter and producer, who is married to R&B star Lil' Mo, has worked and toured with a who's who of artists, including Fantasia, CeCe Winans, Dave Hollister, Coko, Anthony Hamilton and Ruff Ends.

"It's still all surreal to me," Bryant told BV Buzz about his forthcoming project. "Never in a million years did I think I would have a real release. I've been through a lot of industry stuff, and I was going to give up. But God told me to hold on, and since he got this, I'mma listen to his voice and not my flesh!"
