T-Boz didnt hold back a thing in her latest interview with AOL Black Voices. Although, she got the ax yesterday on The Apprentice, that didnt stop her from very VOCAL about more than a few issues including a TLC film, the ATL Housewives and Bey and Kellys D-Child drama: So were starting to see more of you on Celebrity Apprentice. Did you intentionally play low-key in the beginning?

If you dont keep up drama, they dont show you anyway, and I just feel like they have their favorites. If youre not into it then Trumps not into you, and thats just the way I feel about it. He likes poker, he likes golf, Playboy bunnies and he likes sports and thats his thing.

You had your big win on episode four and won a check for your charity. How did that feel?

It was a bittersweet night for me because I won, but they made it so depressing with the alcohol thing with Dennis Rodman so it almost took the glory out of winning. As far as me, it was heartwarming because sickle cell is something Im very passionate about being that I have the disease and Im a national spokesperson. I do a lot of things because I want to help others, but I want to be that chick thats here to see my daughter grow old. I want to be a grandmother. I want to cheer for all of us, and its really a personal struggle and a fight for me.

Lets shift gears a little. Your good friend Kandi Burruss is the new member of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. What do you think about that?

Its funny because she really has a great career for herself and shes a phenomenal writer, so she has a lot of different things going for her than the other wives. I was happy to hear that she is engaged so thats great. Kim is kind of doing her thing with married men, NeNe has a different approach and Sheree and Lisa Wu are sweet. I dont think people know that Kandi has a raw personality, so I would like to see who she is going to bump heads with, because she doesnt take any mess either. Thats gonna be interesting. If you dont pluck her nerves, shes easygoing, but if you do, I cant wait to see her mouthpiece. Shes not one of the wives where the husband makes a lot of money and she uses his money to start a business. Shes coming to the table like, Damn, I am paid because I wrote No Scrubs for TLC and those early hits for Destinys Child. You better check my resume. I love that.

Did you tape an appearance on the show?

We just went to lunch and thats something thats natural. What you see is what we would have naturally done. The only reason and the only person that I would have gone on that show for was Kandi and thats love.

I hear you and Chilli have been approached about a TLC movie. Monique Coleman from High School Musical says its her dream to play Lisa Left Eye Lopes in a film.

Thats awesome to hear. I am interested now whereas I wasnt before. I actually do want to pursue making this movie. Were talking to companies now so right now its just talk. People are actively pursuing it and thats a great thing.

What actress would you like to play you in the film?

It would have to be a girl who has a lot of cool personality like a prissy t****oy. She has to look good with blond hair, because she must swag out the blond. I love Kyla Pratt. She has a lot of personality and a lot of spunk. I think Meagan Good can do it, too. I like both of them. In ATL, Lauren London played me and she did a great job. ATL was about Dallas Austin and my experience growing up in the skating rink. The only difference was that we [were not in a relationship]. That was part of the movie. I executive produced it, and it was a part of my life. That was really my story.

What actress should play Chilli? I pick Keshia Knight Pulliam or Tatyana Ali or anyone else who can brush down their baby hair.

Those are two good picks. Keshia still has that valley girl in her and so does Tatyana, so they make great looks, but they have to get rid of the valley girl part, because Rozanda has no valley girl in her at all. You can buy the lace-front weave and anybody can have her hair. All you got to do is call up Tyra Banks and ask her where she gets her wigs from.


Alicia Keys got you and Chilli to reunite and perform on last years BET Awards. How did it make you feel that a singer who wasnt even in a girl group professionally wanted to celebrate TLC, SWV and En Vogue like that?

I love Alicia and that was the only reason I did it. Weve never said yes to perform with anybody, ever. She is one of those people that you respect and feel honored to be asked and thats why we said yes. I dont count the BET Awards as a real TLC performance. That was just a mess altogether. That was a terrible day for me. It wasnt a regular TLC show anyway. At a real TLC show, we run things and are energetic and dance. That was just a hot mess. Im very excited to do what we do, and Ill be back in my element. That sure wasnt my element. Im happy to be back, and well be doing it the way that we do it.

When you hear stories about whats going on with Destinys Child and Kelly Rowland having to fire Matthew Knowles to finally get attention, what are your thoughts?

They get mad when I say this, but I dont give a damn. It was all about Beyonce anyway. She was my favorite, too, but come on. Her parents are over everything. Who do you think they were going for? Its always Beyonce. It was supposed to be exactly the way it is now, Bey is on top. I love Beyonce, and I am a fan of hers. She was my favorite in the group even before they were Destinys Child and they were the Baby Dolls. She was so cute and pretty. I like all of them, and I wish Kelly the best. When youre in a girl group, you have differences, and you have to learn how to respectfully agree to disagree. There are a lot of things that happen behind the scenes that people dont know about. Some girl groups have girls trying to steal other girls boyfriends and thats the ultimate no-no. You have situations like the Kelly thing and Beyonces parents. You can say that Im out for everybody, but if Lisa was to bring somebody in thats her boyfriend, then Im gonna feel like you got Lisas back more than mine, and thats gonna be a no-no. I just think that brings a conflict of interest in the beginning. That would have been a hard group for me to be in, because I would have been like your mommy and daddy are running things and theyre gonna have you at heart the most. Thats just how I feel.

There are currently no girl groups in the music business. They all seem to break up. Why do you think its like that?

I feel like girls are anal, bitchy and bitter. Theyre jealous, envious and compete with each other even though they say they dont. It always brings issues. They cant differentiate that this is business, and we dont have to be best friends. We just have to work together. People have a hard time living with that, because it becomes fake and you have to keep up this whole façade, and you just cant deal with it and break up. At the end of the day, its about making money and having a career. Nobody said you have to go home and hug every day. Some girls cant deal with that, and Ive always had girl problems. Girls and me just dont mix. Theyve always been jealous, tried to take my boyfriends and lie on me. I get it because Ive always had that happen to me. Thats why I would never do a girl group again. Im happy to have been with the two I was with, but I would never bring another girl in and start a new group. You dont have to worry about that with me.
