MAN DOWN: Can Frankie Function without all of the attention on her?

Okay, Frankie acted a stone cold fool last night on Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is Season III - Episodes 1 and 2. It was just a little disappointing to see that she was not trying to save her relationship with Keyshia, Neffe, Ms. Yvonne or any of her other kids.

We have a lot of respect for Ms. Yvonne for trying her best to stay neutral and try to allow Frankie to come to her sinces. And Neffe just gets a standing ovation for trying to move on. Her her behavior was totally not the business and our recommendation to Frankie is:

TAKE A TV TIME OUT FRANKIE!!!!" - HotChocolate206

Notice how Neffe doesn't even call her mom any more?  Now her mom is just known to her as Frankie.  Any thoughts or reactions to the show last night?

In case you missed it, watch

• "Episode 2.1My Two Moms" and Part 2.2

Keyshia Cole The Way It Is 3 - Premere's Tonight at 10pm/PST

We are so glad to know that BET is finally going to give us two back to back episodes of "The Way It Is". I don't know if you were a little pissed from last season when all we got was 30 minutes. I guess Keyshia is their money maker right now considering the rest of the shows on the network are straight "Bafoonary". Yeah I said it!!! What?!?!

10:00PM/PST - Episode 1: Fresh Start

Keyshia's life coach and trainer, Jamel, pushes her physically and mentally as she works on her new album; Neffe moves in to her new home and clashes with Frankie.

NEW RULE: No matter how hard it gets for your parent, don't EVER let them move in with you. They always like to play this card: "I'm the mommy or I'm the daddy"....

10:30PM/PST - Episode 2: My Two Moms

Frankie suffers feelings of guilt for having given her daughter up, and feels Yvonne (Keyshia adopted mom) is taking advantage of events from her past.

NEW RULE: If you have babies take care of them, period!

My favorite part from the when Ms. Yvonne kick the door in on that a$$ like the LAPD. This is my version of what Ms. Yvonne said before they edited the shot:

Look Frankie, I'm tired of all the bullsnit and you poppin' off at the mouth talking about I'm the lady hate....B!tch back up off me my tip for the simple fact you on it like a gnat on a dog __________ (fill in the blank)!!!!

Keyshia Cole The Way It Is 3 - Premere's Tonight at 10pm/PST

***This comment is for entertainment purposes only *** 

So I just got off the phone with KeyCo and she said she didn't advertise her show because she has a built in audience that is looking out for her show.  Our interview goes a little like this:

HotChocolate206:  Hey KeyCo!!!! What the bidness is?

Keyshia Cole (KeyCo for short): Evvvvvverthang!!!! You know I got my show comin' on tonight, promotin' my single right now with Tupac, dippin' and dodgin' the paps, gettin' my work out on, and you know takin' care of my family.

HotChocolate206: Yes I see you workin' it all by any means necessary these days.  I'm so excited to watch the show tonight.  Is there anything I should be lookin' out for?

KeyCo: Well of course, you gotta be watchin out for me and my wardrobe, baby!!! I steps my game all the way up this time around!!! I got my teeth done, I'm so doin' the glamour thing this time around and I feel good!!!! You know my mama gone be on the show showin' out big time, but you I still love her the same.

HotChocolate206: How is Neffe and the kids doing?

KeyCo: They doing reaaaal good! Neffe done finally got her little "situations" together and I'm just so proud of her.

HotChocolate206: Well you know I gotta ask about the Bentley.  I got this "extended down payment" going on right now.  I'm getting the Coupe GT but I still have like $149,999 to go.  Did you rent or did you buy?

Keyshia Cole The Way It Is 3 - Premere's Tomorrow at 10pm/PST

It's goin' down tomorrow evening on BET!!!! Keyshia Cole & Family are back on the small screen so set your TiVo's. Click to view trailer
 

On Dec. 16 Imani/Geffen/Interscope will release her third album, “A Different Me,” which will drop in the wake of the 360 deal Cole signed with Interscope that includes a movie based on her life.

 

The first two albums were more ... painful," she tells Billboard over lunch in Los Angeles. "It's a different me this time: a young woman who's still growing and finding myself, exploring life through different routes musically and in other areas. I wrote more about other people's situations than my own. I'm moving forward."

 
She has definitely come full circle since her show debuted on BET a few years ago. Keyshia has also been handling her business and trying her best to keep her family together.
 

I haven’t reached my goal yet,” says Cole, who says that down the road she wants to live in a log cabin and own horses, operate a veterinary hospital and pet store—“I’m a dog person,” she adds—plus a coffee shop on the side. “I want that real bad. I can just see the couches and the fireplace going. “But to get there,” she continues, “I have to first accomplish my musical goals. To quote Tupac, got my money right, I got my mind right, and now I want war.’

Okay..first she gets veneers and now it appears that "her sisters" are deflating....Git it Girl, going all hollywood and stuff.Gone girl do yo' thang! (Talk about controlling her brand, there is not one video of her reality show out there on the interwebs except the one we posted above). Read more of the article here.

CHOCOLATE NEWS BREAK: It has just been announced on 106 & Park that Keyshia Cole will be joining T-Pain (oh we said we weren't cover T-Pain news here) and Lil' Wayne on the "T-Wayne Tour".

The Way It Is: Season II Outakes with Frankie

Okay, how do I say this politely? I'm glad that I found this video of Frankie actually sitting down giving an interview and behaving like a mother. I hope I find more like these. FYI.. Season III - Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is Premieres on November 11th.
