Coffee Talk: Niecy Nash Getting 'Bootylicious'

We loved it when Niecy Nash told Bonnie Hunt she wasn't planning to lose her "jiggly parts" while dancing on "DWTS." No wonder the funny lady, who was eliminated from the show, plans to work it to Destiny's Child's hit "Bootylicious" when she returns for the season finale. Here's what else we're talking about -- African-American and Dominican hair salons are facing off with each other, and someone is sending several thousand sunflowers to Michael Jackson's grave site. Plus, guess who's back... Here's what you had to say: Natalie commented: "Do it Niecy!" Anonymous commented: "I go to Dominican hair salons because I am never there for longer than one hour and a half and I always pay under $40."

  • Niecy Nash is not going to stop shaking it just because she was eliminated from “Dancing with the Stars” on Tuesday. The funny lady is set to return to the show for the finale and plans to dance to Destiny’s Child’s “Bootylicious.” I don’t think they’re ready for this jelly. [People]
  • A Philadelphia police officer, Sgt. Robert Ralston, intentionally shot himself and then said he had been shot by a Black man while on patrol. Seriously? [Philly]
  • It used to be that we went to the African-American-owned beauty salon to get our hair washed and set. Now, the popularity of the Dominican blowout is bringing the heat and creating a rivalry. [WSJ]
  • Scientists are saying that the size of the oil leak in the Gulf is actually larger than the 5,000 barrels a day that’s been reported. [NYTimes]
  • Beyonc is selling her clothes for a good cause. The “Why Don’t You Love Me?” singer and several other celebs have teamed up with the Oxfam Curiosity Shop and Selfridges in the UK to clean out their closets for charity. Check out the dress and necklace she’s donating here. [PA]
  • Guess who’s back. Rapper Foxy Brown joined her idol, Pam Grier, on the “Mo’Nique Show,” and spoke about how she asked Grier for permission to use her moniker and about her temporary deafness. [MTVUK]
  • T.I. appeared on “Larry King Live” in his first interview since leaving prison and said he was depressed, paranoid and worried about attempts on his life when he purchased the guns that led to his arrest. King said, “I could run out of time,” listing all of T.I.’s weapons. T.I. called his behavior “unacceptable.” [CNN]
  • More women who are stressed from work are getting diseases that were traditionally thought of as men’s ailments. Maybe if we got paid as much as men for the same jobs we wouldn’t be as stressed. [DailyNews]
  • After Lisa Marie Presley posted a complaint on her MySpace page on Wednesday, saying that her ex-husband Michael Jackson deserves more flowers on his tomb, a flower company by the name of sunflowerguy.com is set to deliver thousands of sunflowers to the King of Pop’s burial site. [TMZ]
