All my fans stay tuned for the new season of "Single ladies" on VH1 ! I love the Fans!

A Message from LisaRaye aug 10th 2011

2011-08-11T11:22:00.000-07:00

As everyone knows

I am in Italy vacationing. I was just made aware of the lies that are being spread by Mediatakeout and other blogs that like to create false stories. I was not even aware that Stacy Dash had been fired from Single Ladies. Furthermore if she has been fired that is a network decision. I don’t have the power to get her fired nor do I have any beef with her. Now im going to go continue enjoying my vacation!

Lisaraye- All White PZI Jean line Coming this Summer!!

2011-04-01T11:56:00.000-07:00

LisaRaye is launching her very own collection of jeans with PZI, the retailer that creates “the ultimate fit in denim for the woman with curves.” LisaRaye was involved with the design, material selection and structure of the line. Offered in sizes 4 to 18, and in four different lengths, the denim was designed “with no gape at the waist [and] more room in the hips, rear, and thighs.”

“I believe in this jean line. It contours the body and holds us in. It has stretch to it. I’ve designed some really pretty designs,” she said. All white is Lisaraye's trademark ,she is the queen of wearing white – even after Labor Day.

Lisaraye TV ONE Reality Show - Second season starts April 7th !

2011-03-12T13:20:00.000-08:00

TV ONE announced that I was filming nine new episodes at their New York Upfront presentation n January.

Now I have a date to tell you of the second season premiere.

"We've come a long way since we first started taping season one of this show," "I am very excited to be back with TV One for season two, and to share with viewers the many exciting developments and blessings in my life over the past year."

8Share

The new season, which kicks off on April 9, will feature appearances from some of her celebrity pals includingSheryl Lee Ralph, Tatyana Ali, Bobby Brown, Elise Neal,Nelly, Twista, Bishop T.D. Jakes, DeRay Davis, Chef G. Garvin and Jacque Reid.

According to TV One, viewers will find the Chicago native "making waves this season wherever she goes whether she's furthering her career, letting loose her maternal instincts, searching for Mr. Right, or helping out a friend in need."

Last season was all about bouncing back as an actress and getting over her tumultuous relationship with The Premiere of Turks and Caicos, Michael Misick.

Now, the mother of one is bouncing from Puerto Rico to Los Angeles, from her hometown of The Windy City to Dallas and Las Vegas and finally getting her professional career back on track with a new VH1 scripted series, 'Single Ladies.'

'The Player's Club' actress said: "I've had to fight for what I want and deserve, and I hope in some small way I can help inspire people - women especially - to go after what they want and fight for the life they deserve."

LisaRaye is also focusing on raising money to help defray a close friend's cancer bills and starting her very own line of jeans. Her daughter, Kai, has launched a successful modeling career and, of course, LisaRaye is still looking for love.

'LisaRaye: The Real McCoy' premieres on TV One on April 7 at 9 pm EST.

LisaRaye McCoy Talks Business & Social Media With AOL Black Voices

2010-11-09T05:48:00.000-08:00

In AOL Black Voices latest installment of the new series featuring top business people using social media to their advantage, they had the opportunity to interview well-loved actress LisaRaye McCoy. As you will see below, LisaRaye is an afficiando on Twitter who uses the platform to enhance her business enterprises in addition to her personal brand. Learn more about how this veteran of the large and small screens is using the power of the Web to create financial opportunities -- for herself and others.

What is your name and what do you do?
LisaRaye McCoy -- I'm a former First Lady, actress and businesswoman.

What are some of the misconceptions people have about celebrities and their money?
Just because they see us on TV or we spend $5,000 on a bag people assume we are millionaires... not true! People always want to borrow money. I'm an ACTRESS... not the Bank of LisaRaye. Whenever I go out to dinner with people... you best believe the waiter ALWAYS gives ME the bill while everyone waits for me to pull out my wallet to pay.
What surprised you the most about the financial side industry?
That you can get a big check in the beginning and you never know where the next one is coming from... so, you have to learn to save for a rainy day and keep a "Lord have mercy" fund... lol.
How has Twitter helped you in building your brand and running your business?
If you can't beat 'em... join 'em! It's nice to be able to keep a connection with my fans and when I have an event... I only have to type a line and hit send. My B2B "Back to Business" banner was started on Twitter due to having such a great following. B2B is the social networking organization I started for building and understanding relationships and resources. One of our events is the annual Memorial Day weekend in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Tweet me... @TheRealLRaye

Do you have any financial and professional advice for aspiring celebs out there?
Don't forget the business side of show business. It's important to stay on top of where your money is going. Learn about investing. Make sure you invest some portion of your money so it's working for you even when you're not. And here is some professional advice: dare to be different, never blend in, believe in you and TRUST IN GOD.

What upcoming projects do you have in store for us?
The second season of the highest rated show in TVOne's history, 'LisaRaye: The Real McCoy' will be airing in April... we have some great surprises, adventures and growth for the new season.

Also, I begin filming VH1's first scripted series in Atlanta called 'Single Ladies' in February.

I'm also launching my much anticipated jean line PZI Jeans...

I'm also the global ambassador for Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation's Circle of Promise. And, you never know what else I have up my sleeve... because THIS girl is BACK TO BUSINESS (B2B)!!!

Is there anything else you'd like to share with our AOL Black Voices audience?
Let's not fall victim by adding fuel to the fire... don't feed negative energy. Put your mistakes in the past... but learn from them and get BACK TO BUSINESS (B2B). Don't forget to get your pink 'LR' banner from Twitter that represents the B2B members. Tweet my B2B page and a I'll send you a link... @LrayeB2Bers or@TheRealLRaye.

Lauren London, LisaRaye and Stacey Dash will be staring in VH1’s first ever Scripted Series titled “Single Ladies”, executive produced by Queen Latifah.

The ladies began four-day rehearsals and filming in Atlanta this week for the show that revolves around the romantic relationships of three friends. Stacey Dash will play a celebrity stylist while LisaRaye’s character is a video vixen who doesn’t believe in having one man. Here is what Stacey Dash and LisaRaye had to say about their characters:

Stacey Dash :
“My character is very similar to my own life because I’ve never been single. Literally, since I’ve been 17 years old. She’s never been married, the character than I’m playing, whereas I’ve been married three times, so that’s the difference,” Dash says. “It’s a really good script.”
LisaRaye :“SheLisaRaye :“She doesn’t have one of anything nor does she believe in having one man. She believes in dating and being able to explore her possibilities. She’s much like Samantha of Sex in the City,” explains the Player’s Club star. “Very straight up and honest. She’s the one that has that spunk, I’d like to say that she’s the slut of the three.”

She’s much like Samantha of Sex in the City,” explains the Player’s Club star. “Very straight up and honest. She’s the one that has that spunk, I’d like to say that she’s the samantha of the three.”
Lauren London will play a semi-shy character that is married to a NBA player however she will have more of a re-occurring role on the show.

Follow LisaRaye as she begins to put the pieces back together and reveal sides of her that you’ve never seen before.

2010-01-13T09:25:00.000-08:00

It takes people like me, a celebrity, to bring awareness to this event," said the actress Lisaraye, who started the evening in a white form-fitting Versace dress and adorable Louis Vuitton shoes. "This is what I endorse, and if it needs eye candy, then I will be that eye candy."

LisaRaye warmed up the tepid crowd with witty ad-libs and racy jokes on subjects such as a very cold squirrel and Tiger Woods, both of which drew howls of laughter.

After one joke, LisaRaye, who had changed into a white low-cut gown, coyly said to the audience, "Come on, I had to do something to get a jolt out of you guys."

Also in attendance was Grammy-winning rapper and sometime actor Nelly. Casually dressed and sporting huge retina-searing diamond studs, Nelly was very eager to discuss his design partnership with Ford on the sexy 2011 Mustang GT in between chatting with fans and posing for photos.
