common-ellen

Common appeared on “The Ellen Degeneres Show” last Thursday, and the Grammy Award-winning rapper and actor discussed Just Wright, his new romantic comedy co-starring Queen Latifah, as well as his early acting experiences. He also talked about his mother and the example she set for him, getting in shape for the film, meeting Michael Jordan and his relationship with tennis superstar Serena Williams.

Common also admitted to Ellen on Thursday that he’s not the most pleasant person to be around when Serena is on the court.

“I sit there, and I’m just tense…and people try and talk to me, and I tell them to be quiet. I don’t care who is there. I’m focused on this tennis match.”

    Focused on her tennis match??? You need to be FOCUSED on them babies you done made out there….like with Eryka BADU, yo?????

    It’s amazing how they soon they dump and forget what they made with someone else and how easily they move on as if it were all a bad dream….

    Reminds me of D’angelo and how he popped a seed in Angie Stone and bailed after all she did for him to get his career off the ground, thinking his star had done ‘risen’ and didn’t need her anymore. Funny thing tho’…how the laws of physics work; what goes up…must come DOWN! Unless your ass got WINGS! hahahahaha and he sholl found out that his star…didn’t!

    I have this deep premonition that if they do get married….that it won’t last and she will have had a child or two with him before he hits the skids.

    What I also find interesting is the fact that Jehovah’s Witness touts their religion as being SOOOO GODLY and so unlike the Christian church..yet their women (and men) and so ho.eish acting! Practically ever female child that has grown up run to the club, have premarital sex and is just out and about WILD as F*K! All I can do is pray for a good outcome….

    Can somebody PA-LEASE explain to me…what is the attraction that some of these famous (seemingly together) women have for ‘used’ up men? I thought it was only a poor black woman’s phenomenon. Why can’t successful black women find decent and successful single brothers who’s got a GOOD reputation and ain’t made babies all over the dayamed place?

    Common has kids? With whom? Erykah’s babies are by Andre’ 3000, The DOC and Jay Electronica. I have never heard that Common had kids. Also women need to be responsible too, do let a man plant seeds in your womb that they are not committed to. If he isn’t committed to you, chances are he won’t be committed to the kids.

    If a woman is good enough to marry, then she isn’t good enough to have sex with. I don’t know why we haven’t realized this. Oh, it is because we are so hedonistic and don’t ever want to consider the consequences.

    I meant to type if a woman is good enough to marry then she isn’t good enough to have sex with. If we get this concept, I promise there will be a decrease in baby moma drama.

    Common does have a daughter but not with Erika. She was born in 97 which would make her 31.

    Google it.

    Better common than Me

    Black62, what make U assume that common is some broke irresponsible rapper with kids every where? In actuality, he has one child that I know of a daughter that was born in the 90′s. He has no child with Badu, Badu only has 3 baby daddies not four, I guess it’s ok to blame the men for having a bunch of kids but not the woman. ( hmm ) Any how Common has been a successful real estate investor since the 90′s. So, it’s not like he is some impoverish playboy trying to get over on a successful black woman… check your resources before U start driving a responsible man rep in the dirt.

    Ok, I Didn’t Watch The Video…I Just Skipped Down To The Pics…WTF Is Up With Pic #13?? LMAO What Ninja Is Playin’ With Common’s Ear??? Also In Pic #5 Common Looks So Happy, Smilin’ And Everything, But Serena Looks Like She’s COMPLETELY Ignoring Him. Made Me Feel Kinda Bad For Him…Although I Know That May Not Have Been The Case, But That’s How It Looks In The Pic. Anyway, They Look Happy Together…I Wish Them The Best!

    common doesn’t make as much as serena for the cat who thinks he’s broke but as the one said, who seem to have a thing for himj, lol, do your research, he doesn’t make as much as her due to endorsements but in 2008-2009 he made 12 million with tours, album sales and movie appearences, and he has been in even more movies this year, that has grossed much more then the year he made 12 mill and is not finished, his album drops this summer and his tours are always sold out, so though he is not worth 100 mil like serena he does aight, sh!t much better then the ever day bloke trust me, as for successful real estate, I only knew of the one apartment building he owned and i believe has since sold but i don’t keep p with that I am more of a Gross dude not net so he may still be hol;ding properties around Chicago.
