Tameka ‘Tiny’ Cottle, former star of 90s girl group Xscape and fiancee of rap star T.I., has opened a new nail salon in Stockbridge, GA. The salon entitled “Tiny’s Nail Bar” features manicures, pedicures, massages, complimentary health drinks and juices and more. It is a full-service nail salon with full-service bar. “I’m very picky about my nails and hair, so I’m going to make sure that I do my best to deliver top-notch customer service,” Tiny tells Essence.

T.I. fiancee kicked it with Jamie Foster Brown to talk about her upcoming plans to star in her own reality show and the grand opening of her nail salon in the “A”. My girl NecoleBitchie says that rumor has it Tiny will star in the show amongst her other “baby momma” friends including Toya (Lil Wayne’s ex-wife), KANDI (fellow member of Xscape), and Joy (Lyfe Jennings baby mama). I actually think I would really watch this, although I’ve had enough of the reality shows! Tiny says her soon-to-be hubby, T.I., did not want her to do the reality show because it puts a strain on couples who open up their lives to the world, but he has given her the “green light” to do it. This should be interesting. Will you be tuning in?

But sources say Sadow and Dwight Thomas, another member of the rapper’s legal team, are preparing to ask U.S. Magistrate Alan Baverman to place T.I. on house arrest under electronic surveillance or require him to wear an ankle monitoring device as a condition of his bond.  (more…)
