GLAM GYRL WALKS OUT OF PHOTO SHOOT

New Jersey's dream girl, Glam walked out on a magazine photo shoot yesterday throwing away a 5,000 dollar check. Her publicist, Vanessa Jasey of NJOT PR firm responded to us reporting she was very unhappy with the hair stylist and make up artist. The story is this, when Glam's management company originally booked her for the job, they explained to the magazine Glam couldn't wear certain makeup and she would only shoot if she didn't have to have her hair weaved or wear a wig. The magazine agreed to the terms but when Glam arrived to do the job, they didn't have the proper make up and they tried to talk her into having her hair weaved.

Vanessa Jasey explained further that "Glam Gyrl has decided she's not wearing weaves and wigs anymore when she has very beautiful hair of her own. The glue irritates her scalp and it's damaging her own hair. She doesn't wear make up unless it's for a job but she can only wear certain brands or it will tragically break her out. Glam felt the check was not worth damaging her hair or breaking out. She left because no one was trying to rectify the situation instead they were trying to talk her into something she wasn't going to do".

Question, do you think Glam Gyrl did the right thing? For a 5,000 dollar job for a couple of hours posing would you have stayed or walked out? I honestly believe Glam Gyrl did the right thing and we love her for it. She stood her ground and didn't let money or people change her mind. Stand your ground Glam Gyrl we're behind you.

OUR LITTLE PRINCESS LAID TO REST



Our little princess Aiyana Jones who was killed by the Detroit police department has been laid to rest. Industry Gems would like to express their deepest condolences and sympathies to the family, friends and loved ones of this little princess. Now let's see if justice is served properly for our little princess someone needs to be held accountable for this. Justice must be served.

SHE'S BEEN GAGGED

Amber Rose, Kanye's favorite girl is not allowed to speak to reporters. Kanye has issued a gag order restraining her from speaking publicly. So if you think you're gonna get any of Kanye's business out of her, you can forget it. It's not happening. But are we really interested in Kanye or Amber Rose? They are so like yesterday aren't they?

LADY GAGA SHOWS HER ASS

Lady Gaga performed at the Bercy Theater in Paris and felt the need to dissolve rumors of her having a penis by bending over and asking if she looked like a boy or girl. Now we know Lady Gaga is out there and little off but did she really have to go there? If you know who you are, why would you have to continue proving yourself? What is wrong with this child? Why does she have to act so trashy?

IS ALICIA KEYS REALLY PREGNANT

I don't know folks but it looks like Alicia Keys is really pregnant based off this picture. The rumors have been flying that Alicia Keys is pregnant by her boo Swizzy but nothing has been confirmed yet. Industry Gems is hoping it's just a rumor and she is just gaining happy weight. Stay tuned, the verdict will be in soon.

REASONS WHY WE NEED TO SUPPORT OUR PEOPLE

The movie Just Wright starring Queen Latifah and rapper Common was a flop at the box office. This is the reason why we need to get out there and support our people. One of the reasons why our black actors can't get leading roles in big budget movies nor the budgets is because they believe we can't sell based off of our box office numbers. So people I ask of you to please stop buying bootleg and support our people where it matters. Go spend the money where it counts and that's at the box office.

IS BEYONCE LOSING HER SWAG?

Do you think now that Beyonce has settled down a bit she is losing her swag? Lately I really haven't heard too much buzz on the R&B Diva. People don't seem as interested in her like they used to be. What do you think? Comments please.

EVERYONE WANTS TO KNOW, WHO IS SHE?



Industry Gems has been getting a lot of emails, telephone calls and people asking who is she? So we figured we'd follow up with an article explaining who this gem is.

Glam Gyrl, a model, actress, radio personality on New 105.5I The Heat and a entrepreneur. She's been in the entertainment industry since a teenager. You've seen her in print ads, music videos, magazine spreads, she's walked various runways with top models and performed in many plays on and off broad way, she has also acted in many film and television shows as lead or extra. She has a movie playing in Russia and can't speak the language at all but was hired by a top Russian director because of her acting ability and personality.

If you go back and look at various videos, magazines, shows, etc. you'll notice her. She has a talent to pull off looking different all the time. I actually watched a Jay-Z video recently and noticed her. Then I saw an old ad for the Gap and noticed her there as well. She just looks like a Caucasian girl. You will really have to know her and the various looks she has to catch on that it's definitely her because she switches her style up constantly.

Currently Glam Gyrl is in negotiations for a three picture movie deal, a reality show and a syndication deal for her radio show. She is back modeling and acting in NYC all while negotiating these deals.

Glam Gyrl born and raised in Newark, NJ definitely has the "IT" factor and although she has accomplished so many things in the industry, she has been able to maintain a low profile up until recently. Glam Gyrl had taken a two year hiatus from the industry and now that she's back, she hasn't been able to maintain the low profile she's used to. We hope because of this, she will be able to handle all the attention she's getting. Although Glam Gyrl has the "IT" factor, one thing about her I have noticed in public is she is very unique. She's an angelic spirit. She makes you feel comfortable being around her because of her beautiful smile. She's fun, loving and approachable. Most celebrities and people with the "IT" factor are never usually like this. I'm hoping she maintains her original self throughout the rest of her career.

Glam Gyrl, much success in your career. Industry Gems hopes you continue to maintain your great personality and beautiful spirit because sometimes the industry and people can change you into a witch from hell. Only time will tell but we intend to follow you through it all.

CIARA SPEAKS ABOUT HER VIDEO "RIDE"

Ciara's video "Ride" featuring Ludacris has been banned from some places. Our very own network BET will not play Ciara's video. Check out the video below as she speaks about it. What we don't understand is there are so many other female singers with videos in which they gyrate, hump and grind half naked in them and no one has pulled those videos off nor refused to play them. So why are they giving our girl Ci Ci a problem? Play the video. She's just as sexy and pretty if not better looking than those who have done these types of videos in the past. Ci Ci we support you and we truly appreciate the video.

DID JANET JACKSON CUT HER HAIR OFF?

Janet Jackson was spotted in London with her hair very short. I must admit I think she looks good with short hair. But the question is, did she really cut her hair off or did she just take the weave out? Either way Janet is still a diva. I could care less if her hair is short or long. Keep doing what you do Janet. We still love you.

RADIO PERSONALITIES OF NEW 105.5I THE HEAT ATTEND THE RED BOW TIE CASTING PARTY

We were able to catch two of the three radio personalities of New 105.5i The Heat outside The Red Bow Tie casting party. Glam Gyrl and Roastman OnDemand. Check out the video below.

I can honestly say I'm very glad they stopped to take the time to talk to Industry Gem's. Most celebrities don't like talking much to reporters but these two were very glad to give us a little time. We thank you Glam Gyrl and Roastman OnDemand. We plan to follow your careers closely. Industry Gems wishes you much success.


TERRENCE HOWARD AND HIS NEW WIFE

Terrence Howard was seen with his new wife a few days ago at the Cannes Film Festival although everyone thought she was just a lady friend accompanying him. Terrence broke the news to CNN's Anderson Cooper while making his promo rounds that it was the best feeling in the world to be with his wife . Glad to see Terrence is giving marriage another shot. Good luck to you guys.

TOYA RAPPING



You know her as Toya from the hit television show on BET, "Tiny & Toya". You may know her as Lil Wayne's ex-wife or baby mother. Either way, Toya has tried her hand at spitting on the "Bedrock remix". Is she going to get into rapping? Who knows but I'm hoping she's not. I'd rather see her on television and writing books but as a rapper, I'm not impressed and neither is Lil Wayne. Toya take your ex-hubby's advice and put the mic down. You're so much better than that.
