Can you believe it's been FIVE YEARS since LeToyaOnline.com opened?! That's crazy! The goal for the site was to provide fans with up-to-date and confirmed information on what was going on with LeToya, because five years ago there were a lot of unconfirmed stories and rumors floating around and the media wasn't trying to hear the other side of the story. I knew I wasn't the only one wanting to know what was up, and from that...LeToyaOnline.com was created! The goal for the site hasn't changed so you can still trust the info from LeToyaOnline.com is on point...lol! Although I've lost countless hours of sleep since '03, and had to become Inspector Gadget to get even the smalllllllest bit of info...lol...it's been worth it! Thank you to everyone who's been holdin' it down for LeToyaOnline.com these past 5 years! I truly appreciate it and LeToya does too! Lata! - CED

Oh yeah, stuff is 'bout to pop off...

While speaking to Essence Atkins on her role in 'Love For Sale', which comes out on DVD next on Oct. 21st, she mentioned that she's set to a do an independent film for Warner Bros., a musical, called 'Preacher's Kid'. Also featured in the film are R&B singer Tank, Ella Joyce, Clifton Powell, and Gospel singer Kierra "Kiki" Sheard, and LeToya Luckett. The film will be written and directed by Stan Foster.

Tired of being a Preacher's daughter and longing to experience more of life, 20-something Angie King strikes out on her own for the very first time and joins a traveling gospel show. In this modern-day rendition of the fable of The Prodigal Son, she soon discovers life on the road is tough but fears going home with nothing to show for herself, or worse, to a father who no longer loves her...

Atkins is mostly known for her work on numerous TV shows, including the long-running sitcom 'Half and Half'. Luckett is an American R&B singer-songwriter, who earlier this year starred in the play, 'Rumors'.

Filming will be starting this month in Atlanta.

Essence Atkins: It's basically about the world of gospel circuit plays and a girl who gets enticed by that world and leaves her background behind. She leaves her father, who's a pastor of a church, to go off in this world and what happens to her there. It's a musical, but I'm one of the few actors who is not singing in the film. I don't want people to think that I'm crossing over and ready to cut an album. I'll be in Atlanta shooting the film until Thanksgiving.

Hey what's up y'all? We have some updated information on what's going on with LeToya. The following questions have been most asked questions, so we have some answers straight from LeToya's management team!

"IS "SOMEBODY ELSE" LETOYA'S NEW SINGLE?"
As reported a few days here on LeToyaOnline.com, and contrary to the info floating on the net, , "Somebody Else" is NOT LeToya's new single. It probably will not even make the album.

"OK...SO WHEN IS HER REAL SINGLE COMING?"
The new official single may be dropping as soon as November 2008.

"WHERE IS THE NEW ALBUM?"
The album is about 85-90% complete, so it won't be much longer!

"WHEN IS THE ALBUM GOING TO BE RELEASED?"
Possibly as early as March 2009, but it's still too early to say for sure. Also, the album was expected to have 12 songs, but may have 14.

"WHAT'S GOING ON WITH CAPITOL RECORDS?"
Capitol Records has been going through a major transition (listen to LeToya's SayNow message for details), but the new team is place and excited about working with LeToya! The new president is a huge fans and ready to take LeToya to the next level!

"WHAT ELSE IS LETOYA WORKING ON?"
LeToya did a duet with Nat King Cole (like Natalie Cole did with "Unforgettable") for an upcoming Christmas album, so be expecting more info on that soon.

Bottom line: Good things come to those who wait, and it's about to go down...again. LOL - CED

"Somebody Else f/ Avant", an incomplete and unmastered track of LeToya's found it's way to the net today. The record is not LeToya's first single and may or not make the final cut of the album. Although it's a hot song, it's just a taste of what's to come! Listen to the track here!

Thanks to everyone who has e-mailed asking how Toya, her family, and the rest of us are doing down here in Texas. Thank God everyone is ok. As y'all know Toya was in NY when Ike came pimp slapping everything in his path, while everyone else basically "hunkered down" as it came though. Lady L Boutique is ok as well. Here's a picture LeToya's brother, Gavin took of the area in front of the store.

As you see, the parking lot is basically sittin' sideways right now. Look at the gray Honda Civic in the back. The way it's parked...doesn't it look like the wind blew it too? LOL. Anyway, in photo #2, that's directly across the street from Uptown Park (where the store is). Again, everything is cool and although there's no power...everyone is ok! Thanks again for the e-mails! - CED

- Love, LeToya :o)

Hey, what's up y'all? Welcome to LeToyaOnline.com! The site has been updated a bit while we patiently wait on something new from LeToya. To everyone who has sent me an e-mail asking, "Where is LeToya?", be sure to listen to her SayNow messages to get answers to all your questions. If you still have questions, hopefully you can find your answer somewhere here on the site (lol).

There's not a lot to report on right now, but LeToya is back in Los Angeles doing some more recording and finishing up on the new album. She says we can expect something new by the end of the year, so keep your fingers crossed on that (Hopefully I can sneak a song on here - but don't tell Toya!) Of course you can get the latest right here...so check back soon! Lata!
