Carmelo Anthony & LaLa's film company, Krossover Productions, produced TYSON.

Look for LaLa, along with Ricki Lake on the upcoming season of VH-1's, Charm School, set to air May 11th.

Mike Tyson shared his thoughts on the film, "It's almost like, when you've been down for so long and then brought back up- it's almost uncomfortable."

On advice he would give to Chris Brown right now, he states simply, "He'll be fine; he'll be fine."

Most memorable Tyson fight: The first Holyfield/Tyson fight.

Asked if he'd consider following in the dancing steps of previous NFL players for a spot on Dancing With The Stars, with excitement he replied, "I would tear Dancing With The Stars up." DWTS producers, reach out to him, he's up for the challenge.

Melanie, THANKS a million times for getting this info to me.

Bobby Brown- Sets It Off at BB Kings

My weekend began Thursday night because that's when I started to party like a rock star at KJLH's weekly live performance showcase at BB Kings/Universal City. This week's special guest was none other than the King of R&B, Bobby Brown.

Y'all, Bobby is so the "truth", on and off the stage. He gave a high energy performance and rocked all of his hits we so love. During the encore part of his performance, he was joined on stage by Mr. Wonderful, Stevie Wonder and Macy Gray. Bobby even sang a few of Stevie's hits while Stevie followed along on the keys.

I gotta shout out Macy Gray for remixing the song I am so loving to hate right now, "A Bay Bay". As she joined Bob on stage she referred to him as "A Bob Bay", A Bob Bay".... Hilarious! I can almost digest the song now.

Bob Bay also informed those in attendance to look out for his new reality show. Apparently, it's poised to knock our socks off like Being Bobby Brown...that I don't doubt as he's so made for t.v.

Bobby is also putting the finishing touches on his recording project, which he states will be released in the fall.

Finally, Bobby hung around after the show to "get his party on". As the DJ began spinning New Edition classics, Bob gave those on the dance floor a comic filled impromptu N.E. performance, choreography included. What an infectious moment.

I'll be posting some fun candid images from the show, so check back soon!
