E! will highlight the ups and downs of successful R&B artist and actress Brandy Norwood's lengthy 14 year and counting career. Below are some hightlights:
About the faux marriage to producer Robert Smith -- her daughter's father, she said, "Unfortunately, I didn't have the love so I had to be brave and say this
is not where I want to be. I'm not happy. I need to move on."
About breaking up with Morris, who is believed to be her first love, she shared, "It's kind of hard because that was my only boyfriend in the whole world, so I'm still getting over him. I still can think about it and cry."
Countess Vaughn on Brandy giving birth to daughter Sy'rai – "I believe it changed her life. She really brought something out of Brandy."
Shar Jackson on tragic death of co-star Merlin Santana in 2002 – "It hit her hard. It his us all really, really hard, but we were all there and being really, really supportive of each other."
Shar Jackson on tragic death of co-star Lamont Bentley in 2005 – "Losing
Lamont, we're still not through that."
Producer Chris Stokes on the fatal car accident -- "I was just so overwhelmed and so sorry for the family and so sorry for Brandy. I was completely a loss for words."
'Moesha' co-star Sheryl Lee Ralph on the fatal car accident – "I do not believe that Brandy got up, got in her car with the intention to hit somebody."

Ooh I'm listening to "Confessions" now. Robin Thicke co-wrote a lot of material on that record. "Focus" at one point was my theme song. "Who is She 2 U" and "Should I go" are hot tracks too. Alicia's last one album was hot. "Wake Up" and "When You're Really Love Someone" should been released! I'm mad at her for putting Mos Def as her man in her video but I got over it, lol!

LOL, I had to say that about Mos Def. LOL at the phone conversation in the song too! Alica spit some serious game at him. I first heard about Robin Thicke from the Confessions album. Then Robin's name popped up in association with Brandy and Pharrell. I liked that song he did with Pharrell. It could have been a bigger hit but Justin Timberlake was the one dominating the blue-eyed soul category. Then Robin's "Lost Without You" finally caught on. Oprah looooves that song! She had him on her show TWICE. (LOL!)
Oh I can't wait to hear "The Untold Story" Usher has in store. He dated Eishia Brightwell, Naomi Campbell, had a HUGE crush on Beyonce and Alicia Keys and now is engaged to Tameka. This album should be interesting.
