- I'M TONI BRAXTON.

YOU MIGHT
KNOW THAT I AM

A SIX-TIME GRAMMY
AWARD WINNING PERFORMER

WHO HAS SOLD OVER 40 MILLION
RECORDS WORLDWIDE,

STARRED IN
TWO BROADWAY PLAYS,

AND HEADLINED MY OWN
SHOW IN LAS VEGAS.

WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW,

IS THAT I HAVE FOUR
YOUNGER, AMAZING SISTERS,

ALL TALENTED
IN THEIR OWN RIGHT,

BUT NONE OF
THEM TO THIS POINT

HAVE SHARED
MY LEVEL OF SUCCESS.

- I'M TRACI.

I LEFT THE MUSIC
BUSINESS ENTIRELY.

NOW, I AM IN MARYLAND,
LIVING WITH MY HUSBAND,

MY SON AND
MY MOTHER-IN-LAW.

LET'S JUST SAY I AM NOT
THAT HAPPY ABOUT THAT.

MAYBE I NEED TO
SEE A PSYCHIATRIST.

- MAYBE.

- [deleted] YOU, TAMAR.

- I'M TOWANDA,
THE MIDDLE SISTER.

I HAVE A HUSBAND,
TWO BEAUTIFUL KIDS,

AND I AM TONI BRAXTON'S
ASSISTANT.

COVER MY LINE--
I'LL FIGURE IT OUT.

[making cat sounds]

LISTEN TO ME.

- I'M TRINA.

I AM A BACK-UP
SINGER FOR TONI,

AND I SING
IN MY OWN BAND.

I ALSO HAVE
MARITAL PROBLEMS,

BUT I DEAL WITH
THEM IN MY OWN WAY.

I AM MAKING MARGARITAS.

LET'S JUST HAVE
A GLASS OF WINE.

- I'M TAMAR.

I ALSO SING
BACKGROUND FOR TONI,

BUT I AM ALSO TRYING TO
LAUNCH MY OWN SOLO CAREER

WITH THE HELP OF
MY HUSBAND, VINCE,

WHO BY THE WAY,
ALSO MANAGES TONI.

I MAY BE THE BABY
OF THE FAMILY,

BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN I DON'T
GET TO BOSS PEOPLE AROUND.

WHY IS EVERYBODY SO...

I MEAN, LET'S JUST
TONE THAT DOWN.

I CAN SING.

DON'T YOU
REMEMBER THAT?

POINT-- BLANK-- PERIOD.

I DIDN'T KNOW THAT--
NOW I KNOW.

- THERE IS PLENTY OF
DRAMA IN MY FAMILY,

AND WE COULD DEFINITELY GET
ON EACH OTHER'S LAST NERVES,

BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY,
WE ALL LOVE EACH OTHER

AND KNOW THAT THERE IS NOTHING
MORE IMPORTANT THAN FAMILY.

- SISTERS.
- SISTERS.

- THERE'S MY HOMEWORK.
- YOU DIDN'T DO ALL OF IT.

- YOU DON'T HAVE
TO DO THAT PART.

- ARE YOU SURE?

THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS HAVE
BEEN A LITTLE ROUGH ON ME.

I HAVE HAD A BUNCH
OF HEALTH PROBLEMS,

WHICH LED TO
FINANCIAL PROBLEMS.

AND SEEING MY NAME
SPLASHED ACROSS THE TABLOID

NEXT TO THE WORD "BANKRUPT"
ISN'T EXACTLY MY WAY

OF MAINTAINING
THE SPOTLIGHT.

BUT IT IS,
WHAT IT IS.

NOW, I AM READY
TO START FRESH

AND PUT ALL
MY PROBLEMS BEHIND ME.

SO, I FIGURE I COULD USE
ALL THE LOVE AND SUPPORT

I COULD GET.

SO, I ASKED MY SISTERS
TO COME OUT AND JOIN ME

FOR MY FIRST CONCERT
IN OVER SIX MONTHS--

A FUNDRAISER IN BERMUDA.

- ARE YOU READY
FOR BERMUDA?

YOU READY?
- I AM READY.

I AM A LITTLE NERVOUS BECAUSE
IT HAS BEEN AWHILE BUT...

- YOU CAN DO IT.
- I THINK IT'LL BE OKAY.

BUT I AM DEFINITELY
A LITTLE NERVOUS.

I HAVEN'T DONE MANY SHOWS
IN THE PAST FEW YEARS

DUE TO MY OWN
HEALTH ISSUES.

I HAVE TWO KIDS--
I AM A MOM.

AND MY YOUNGEST SON, DIEZEL,
SUFFERS FROM AUTISM.

THAT KEEPS ME
REALLY BUSY.

SO, I HEAVILY RELY
ON MY SISTER TOWANDA,

WHO IS MY
EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT.

I REALLY COULDN'T DO
A LOT OF THINGS WITHOUT HER.

- SO, YOU WENT TO REHEARSAL
THIS MORNING-- HOW DID THAT GO?

- YES, I WENT TO REHEARSAL THIS
MORNING-- IT WENT REALLY GOOD.

I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT
TRINA AND TAMAR GET THERE

AND DO REHEARSAL.

THAT'S IMPORTANT THAT
THEY DO REHEARSAL TODAY.

- OKAY, DEFINITELY.

THE SHOW IS
IN THREE DAYS.

TAMAR AND TRINA ARE
TONI'S BACKGROUND SINGERS.

I USED TO BE TONI'S
BACKGROUND SINGER,

BUT NOW I AM HER
PERSONAL BLACKBERRY.

I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY REMIND
HER OF HER OWN SCHEDULE.

TONI, AREN'T YOU SUPPOSED TO
GO TO SHOPPING WITH THE BOYS?

- IS THAT TODAY?
- TODAY.

- GO PUT YOUR SHOES
ON SO WE CAN GO.

- LOOK, MAMA.

- WHILE TONI WENT SHOPPING,
I HAVE TO GO TO REHEARSAL

WITH TAMAR AND TRINA
FOR THE BERMUDA SHOW,

AND BOY, DO
THEY NEED IT.

- UP-- OUT.

HIT-- HIT.

- I'M REALLY EXCITED THAT
TONI'S ASKED US TO PERFORM

WITH HER AGAIN.

NOW, TAMAR AND I
HAVE THREE DAYS

TO TRY AND GET OUR
[deleted] TOGETHER.

- WAIT A MINUTE-- SO, SHE
TOLD YOU BE HER TILL SHE COMES.

- YEAH.
- OKAY.

- TONI IS ACTUALLY NOT
COMING TO REHEARSAL,

AND I DON'T WANT
TO TELL TAMAR

BECAUSE I DON'T WANT
TO HEAR HER HAVE A FIT

BECAUSE SHE REALLY
NEEDS TO REHEARSE.

- I'VE GOT TO SEE
HOW THAT GOES.

I DON'T REALLY
LIKE THAT MOVE.

- LET'S TRY IT.

SO, UM...
- STAY HERE.

LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT
WE NEED TO BE DOING.

- WOW, PAULA.
- OKAY.

COME ON-- WHILE
I AM SINGING BACKGROUND,

I JUST FEEL LIKE IT'S
NOT REALLY APPRECIATED

AND I FEEL LIKE MY ENERGY
IS PRETTY MUCH MADE

FOR THE FRONT
AND NOT THE BACK.

I RECORDED A SOLO
ALBUM IN 2000,

AND IT MADE IT TO
THE BILLBOARD 200 CHART.

I MEAN, IT ONLY MADE
IT TO THE 176 MARK,

HOWEVER, IT MADE IT.

I WANT TO BE KNOWN AS TAMAR,
NOT TONI BRAXTON'S SISTER,

AND ESPECIALLY, NOT
TONI BRAXTON'S BACK-UP SINGER.

- YOU WANT TO GO FROM
THE TOP OF THE SHOW?

- NO, I CAN'T.

- IT IS HARD FOR ME
TO HEAR TAMAR COMPLAIN

ABOUT BEING
THE BACK-UP SINGER,

BECAUSE I JUST WISH
I WAS ON THE STAGE SINGING.

BACK IN THE DAY, WHEN WE
USED TO SING BACK-UP FOR TONI,

WE WAS OFFERED
A RECORDING DEAL.

THEN I GOT PREGNANT, AND
MY SISTERS WENT ON WITHOUT ME.

AND IT WAS THE TRIO,
AND I HAVEN'T SANG SINCE.

- TAMAR FINALLY LEARNS
THE DANCE MOVES,

SO I DECIDE TO LET
THE CAT OUT OF THE BAG--

TO LET TAMAR KNOW THAT TONI
IS NOT COMING TO REHEARSAL.

WAIT ONE SECOND.

SHE IS NOT COMING.

- TONI'S NOT COMING?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

I DON'T KNOW IF
ANYBODY SAW THE STEAM

COMING OUT OF MY EARS.

I MEAN, I JUST DON'T FEEL
THE NEED OF HAVING REHEARSAL

WHEN THE PERSON WHO NEEDS
TO BE REHEARSING IS NOT HERE.

I AM NOT DOING IT.

- WHY DON'T WE JUST TAKE
45 MINUTES AND CLEAN IT UP.

- I-I'M NOT GOING TO
BE HERE FOR 45 MINUTES.

I CAN GUARANTEE
YOU THAT.

- TOO DAMN MUCH.

IF TAMAR PUT THE SAME
AMOUNT OF EFFORT

INTO LEARNING HER DANCE MOVES,
AS SHE DOES COMPLAINING,

SHE WOULD WIN
"DANCING WITH THE STARS."

REHEARSAL'S NOT OVER.

- IT'S OVER FOR ME.

IT WAS OVER WHEN THEY
SAID TONI WASN'T COMING.

- WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

- I'M GOING TO
MY MAMA'S HOUSE.

I WANT ME SOME
FRIED CHICKEN.

- I DROVE.

- WHY YOU IN TRINA'S PURSE?
- BECAUSE SHE'S GOT THE KEYS.

- TAMAR, YOU BETTER
GET OUT OF MY PURSE.

YOU BETTER GET
OUT OF MY PURSE.

I HOPE YOU FALL
AND BREAK YOUR KNEE.

TAMAR, GIVE
ME MY PURSE.

TAMAR, IF YOU
MAKE ME FALL.

- I'M HUNGRY.
- TAMAR, GIVE ME MY PURSE.

- GIVE TRINA
HER PURSE BACK.

- I DON'T GIVE A DAMN
IF SHE WAS BEYONCE

AND MADONNA
MIXED TOGETHER.

I DON'T WANT TO SING
NOBODY'S BACKGROUND

IF THEY ARE NOT THERE.

- IT'S HER SHOW.
- IT'S HER SHOW, TAMAR.

- WHERE'S TONI AT?

AFTER REHEARSAL,
WE ALL DECIDED

TO GO BACK OVER
TONI'S HOUSE,

BECAUSE WE HAD
A LOT OF QUESTIONS FOR HER.

SHE WAS SLEEPING UPSTAIRS,
SO WE DECIDED TO WAIT AROUND.

WE DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHAT WE ARE WEARING,

WHAT OUTFIT WE ARE
WEARING TO GO PACK.

AND WE ARE SITTING HERE
LIKE DUMMIES, WAITING.

- TONE IT DOWN.

- I'M NOT TALKING TO YOU.

- GET THE [deleted]
OUT OF HERE.

FOR REAL, TAMAR?
- FOR REAL!

- FOR REAL?

- WHAT ARE YOU ALL-- WHAT
ARE YOU FUSSING ABOUT NOW?

- FIRST OF ALL,
YOU'RE THREE HOURS LATE.

- HOLD UP, BECAUSE
I ALREADY REHEARSED.

- BUT NOBODY KNEW
THAT, THOUGH.

- I KNEW THAT.

- THAT IS SOME BULL
YOU KNOW WHAT DOT COM.

TOWANDA KNEW AND DID
NOT EVEN TELL ME.

- WHAT DIFFERENCE
DOES IT MAKE?

DO YOU KNOW
YOUR CHOREOGRAPHY?

- IT AIN'T NOTHING BUT TWO
STEPS-- WHO DON'T KNOW THAT?

THOSE SAME DAMN TWO
STEPS WE BEEN DOING

SINCE I WAS SEVEN.
- LET ME SEE IT.

LET ME SEE IT.

- ONE... TWO...

- TAMAR WAS FLAPPING HER GUMS
THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE REHEARSAL.

SHE JUST LEARNED
TWO DAMN STEPS.

- I DON'T WANT HER TEACHING
ME NO MORE, THOUGH.

- MY SHOW.

CAN WE FOCUS--
MY SHOW.

WHEN IT'S THE TAMAR SHOW,
WE WILL BE DOING

WHATEVER TAMAR
WANTS TO BE DOING.

- I DOUBT IF YOU WILL BE
SINGING MY BACKGROUND.

- YOU NEVER KNOW.

- I WOULDN'T MAKE THAT FACE
WITH THAT GLUE LOOKING STUFF

ON YOUR FACE.

- LET'S JUST HAVE
A GLASS OF WINE.

- OH, SURE.

- OKAY, TRINA, CAN WE NOT
THINK ABOUT ALCOHOL RIGHT NOW?

PLEASE?

- CAN WE JUST
GET PACKED?

- WHATEVER, DOG.

WHO'S TAKING
ME HOME?

- I LOVE
MY SISTERS SO MUCH,

BUT I CANNOT DENY
THAT SOME DAYS,

I WISH I COULD JUST HAVE
MY OWN BACKGROUND SINGERS.

AND THERE HAVE BEEN
MOMENTS WHEN I WENT ON TOUR

AND HAD MY OWN
BACKGROUND SINGERS

AND LET ME TELL
YOU, LIFE IS GOOD.

- TRINA, DON'T LEAVE ME.

- BUT, I DID MISS MY SISTERS
BEING THERE WITH ME.

DRIVE SAFELY.

I LOVE YOU GUYS.

- LOVE YOU.

- TODAY, WE'RE GETTING
READY TO FLY TO BERMUDA.

MY MANAGER, VINCE, IS
GOING TO COME ALONG WITH US

JUST TO MAKE SURE
THINGS GO SMOOTHLY.

- I REALLY DO NEED SOME
R AND R, AND SOME MARGARITAS,

AND A TAN.
- I NEED THIS.

- I WISH YOU COULD
JUST, LIKE, KICK IT

INSTEAD OF, LIKE,
PERFORM AND STUFF,

BECAUSE IT IS
A DIFFERENT KIND OF TRIP.

LIKE, WE STILL HAVE TO
WORRY ABOUT REHEARSING

AND WHATEVER KIND OF MELTDOWN
TONI IS GOING TO HAVE.

- I FEEL AS THOUGH THERE
SHOULD BE NO COMPLAINTS.

JUST DO IT.

I MEAN, YOU ARE
SUPPORTING OUR SISTER.

- IT'S A DIFFERENT
KIND OF VACATION.

- BUT DON'T YOU THINK--
FOR GOD'S SAKE,

YOU WILL BE
WITH YOUR SISTERS.

I MEAN, YOU GUYS ALWAYS
REJUVENATE ONE ANOTHER.

SO, WHAT-- WHAT?

YOU'LL HAVE A BALL.

I HAVE THE GRANDCHILDREN.

WE ARE GOING TO
MAKE COOKIES, MAYBE.

I'M GOING TO BE BABYSITTING
FIVE BOYS AND ONE GIRL.

I KNOW THEY ARE GOING
TO TEAR UP THE HOUSE

BECAUSE I RAISED
SIX KIDS ON MY OWN.

I WILL BE ABLE TO HANDLE
THE GRANDCHILDREN.

I'M GOOD AT IT.

IF THEY TEAR THE HOUSE UP,
THEY TEAR THE HOUSE UP.

I AM NOT GOING
TO DO A THING.

WE ARE JUST GOING
TO HANG OUT.

JUST LIKE YOU GIRLS WILL
RELAX WITH EACH OTHER.

TOWANDA, WHAT ARE
YOU DOING-- WORKING?

- ALWAYS.

- WELL, HOPEFULLY, TOWANDA,
THERE WILL BE SOME DOWN TIME

AND YOU WILL
BE ABLE TO...

OH, OKAY.

- MOMMY, THERE IS
NO SUCH A THING.

WORKING WITH TONI, I AM
ONE HUNDRED PERCENT ON CALL.

ONE TIME, SHE CALLED ME AT
3:00 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING.

"DID YOU SEE MY DVD,
'PRIDE AND PREJUDICE?'

"I'M SORRY--
WERE YOU ASLEEP?"

WELL, I AM
NOT NOW, TONI.

IF YOU LOOK IN THE BLACK
SUITCASE IN THE ZIPPER,

YOUR DVDs ARE
RIGHT THERE.

SO, THAT'S WHERE IT IS--
"OH, OKAY."

- OH, I FORGOT SOMETHING.
- I HAVE YOUR iPAD.

- OKAY.

- HAVE A GOOD TRIP.

- WE ARE GOING TO BERMUDA.

I CANNOT WAIT TO SIT BY
THE POOL, HAVE A FEW MARTINIS,

AND, OH, YEAH--
PERFORM, TOO.

- DO I HAVE A RECORD OUT?

IS THIS MY SHOW?

- THAT'S NOT MY FAULT THAT YOU
ARE NOT A BACKGROUND SINGER.

I WOULD LOVE FOR
YOU TO GO UP THERE

AND DOO-WOP
AND TAKE MY PART.

I DON'T GIVE A DAMN.

- WE'RE FLYING TO BERMUDA TODAY
AND MY BROTHER-IN-LAW, VINCE,

CHARTERED A PRIVATE JET.

LET ME TELL YA--
I PREFER COMMERCIAL.

I LIKE THE BIG,
GIANT 747s.

I'M MUCH MORE
COMFORTABLE THERE.

- THIS IS MY FIRST TIME
BEING ON A PRIVATE JET.

IT'S ALMOST LIKE
A RUSH OF AN ORGASM.

WHOO!

- COMING.
- I DON'T.

- TRINA, YOU KNOW TRINA--

- MY HUSBAND IS A VERY
RESPECTED RECORD EXECUTIVE

WHO'S PRODUCED
FOR LADY GAGA,

DESTINY'S CHILD, JO JO--

HE'S DONE A LOT OF
HIT RECORDS FOR TONY.

HE'S THE BEST IN
THE BUSINESS, FOR REAL.

- I INTRODUCED VINCE
TO MY SISTER, TAMAR.

THERE WAS JUST
SOMETHING ABOUT VINCE

THAT I THOUGHT
WAS SPECIAL.

IT COMPLICATES
THINGS FOR ME

BECAUSE VINCE IS MY MANAGER
AND TAMAR IS MY SISTER,

AND I DON'T LIKE TO GET
CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE.

- IF I EVER BREAK DOWN
AND HAVE A CHILD, RIGHT,

AND IT'S A BOY, I'M GONNA
CALL HIM "LV," RIGHT?

AND I'M GONNA--
- "LV"-- LIKE LOUIS VUITTON?

- LITTLE VINCE-- RIGHT, BUT,
RIGHT-- SO YOU GET IT.

SO, I AM GOING TO DO HIS ROOM
IN ALL LOUIS VUITTON, RIGHT?

- SO, NEW MONEY.

- YOU THINK SO?
- THANK YOU.

- WHAT'S WRONG
WITH NEW MONEY?

- WHENEVER TAMARA SPEAKS,

IT'S LIKE YOU'RE
GOING TO THE CITY DUMP.

YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT CRAP
YOU'RE GONNA ENCOUNTER.

- I, ACTUALLY, ALWAYS WANTED
TO HAVE AN ASIAN DAUGHTER,

AND I WANNA RAISE
HER AS A BLACK GIRL.

- MY SISTER, TAMAR, WANTS
TO ADOPT AN ASIAN BABY,

RAISE IT AS A BLACK WOMAN,
AND NAME IT "DISNEY."

THERE IS PRINCE,
THEN THERE'S THE ARTIST

FORMERLY KNOWN AS "TAMAR."

- I THINK THAT'S HOT.
- I THINK IT'S NOT.

THAT'S A MESS.

- TRINA, YOU DON'T
THINK ANYTHING.

- IN TYPICAL TONI FASHION,

SHE GOES TO HER ROOM
TO TAKE A NAP

WHILE THE REST OF US WENT
POOLSIDE TO HAVE SOME FUN.

- DRINKS.
- HI.

I WANT A MARTINI.

- AND I WANT THE SAME THING
BUT LOTS AND LOTS OF OLIVES.

- YOU KNOW WHAT'S FUNNY.

WHENEVER THE SISTERS
GET TOGETHER

AND START
DRINKING COCKTAILS,

WE WIND ABOUT TALKING
ABOUT ONE THING: OUR MEN.

- WELL, TOWANDA,
HOW DOES IT WORK

WHEN YOU'RE LIVING
WITH YOUR HUSBAND

AND YOU GUYS ARE
DATING OTHER PEOPLE?

- EASY.

MY HUSBAND ANDREW AND I
ARE MORE LIKE ROOMMATES.

WE ARE JUST IN
A MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE.

- I THINK THAT'S
THE BEST ARRANGEMENT EVER.

- NOBODY CAN COME
TO THE HOUSE

BECAUSE I WOULD NEVER DO
THAT IN FRONT OF MY CHILDREN.

THEY DON'T SEE THEIR
DAD WITH ANYBODY ELSE.

THEY DON'T SEE THEIR
MOM WITH ANYBODY ELSE.

- YOU GUYS ARE FOOLS.

- BUT WE JUST SLEEP
IN SEPARATE ROOMS.

- OH, THAT'S SOME BIG
LOVE STUFF RIGHT THERE.

- I LOVE MY CHILDREN.

- NO-- BIG LOVE
LIKE POLYGAMOUS TYPE.

- OH.

- IF VINCE WERE TO CHEAT ON
YOU, IS THAT A DEAL BREAKER?

- YES, HIS ASS IS GONE.

- SO, YOU WOULD DIVORCE HIM?
- BYE.

- I THINK YOU WOULD YELL
AND SCREAM AND FUSS AND CUSS

AND KICK UP SOME DIRT,

BUT YOU ARE THE KIND OF
CHICK THAT WOULD BE LIKE,

"OH, SHE IS GOING TO BE
ROCKING MY VVS STONES

"IF I LET HIM GO."

NO, UH-UH.
- NO, BYE-- I DON'T PLAY THAT.

AND HE DON'T-HE DON'T--
HE WOULDN'T PLAY THAT, NEITHER.

- ALL MY SISTERS HAVE
THE SAME ISSUES WITH MEN.

THEY ARE ALL
A HOT MESS-- PERIOD.

I'M SORRY--
EXCEPT FOR ME.

I HAVE A FABULOUS LIFE.

I HAVE A BIG ASS
HOUSE, THREE CARS,

I FLY FIRST CLASS
ALL AROUND THE WORLD.

SOME WOULD SAY
I HAVE THE PERFECT LIFE,

AND THOSE PEOPLE
ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.

- DRINKS-- RIGHT
AT THE RIGHT TIME.

- THANK YOU SO MUCH.

- THAT WAS FAST.

- IN MY FIRST MARRIAGE, HE
TOLD ME A SIPPIN' CHRISTIAN,

WAS A SLIPPIN'
CHRISTIAN.

- NOW, TAKE A DRINK.

- CHEERS!
- I'LL DRINK TO THAT.

- CLINK, CLINK, CLINK,
CLINK, CLINK, CLINK.

- AMEN.

- PRAISE HIM.
- THAT'S SO PERFECT.

- IT SURE IS TASTY.
- THAT'S PERFECT.

- HEY, GUYS.

- HEY.
- HEY.

SO, AFTER MY NAP,
I HEAD OVER TO THE VENUE

TO GET A RUN THROUGH WITH MY
BAND AND MY BACKGROUND SINGERS.

THIS IS THE LAST REHEARSAL
BEFORE THE SHOW.

I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS

BECAUSE I HAVEN'T PERFORMED
IN OVER SIX MONTHS.

- TRACI, WILL
YOU HOLD MY BAG?

- I'S DO IT--
ANYTHING YOU SAY, SIR.

- HEY, TRE, COULD YOU HOLD
MY BAG FOR ME, PLEASE?

- WHY I GOT TO BE
THE LUGGAGE PERSON?

- I ASKED HER
TO HOLD MY PURSE

AND SHE WAS LIKE,
"I'M A LUGGAGE PERSON."

- THERE WAS A TIME WHEN I USED
TO PERFORM WITH MY SISTERS.

NOW, I'M CARRYING
THEIR BAGS.

I DIDN'T GO TO BERMUDA
TO BE A BELL-HOP.

SEEING MY SISTERS ONSTAGE
BRINGS BACK SO MANY MEMORIES

WHEN I USED TO
PERFORM WITH THEM.

I FORGOT HOW MUCH
FUN IT USED TO BE.

- WHERE MY BAG?
- TRACI HAS IT.

- WELL, WHAT
HAPPENED, TRACI?

WHAT ARE YOU TAKING
IT TO HEART, RIGHT NOW?

CAN I HAVE MY PURSE,
TOO, THOUGH?

THANK YOU.

- YA'LL NEED
SOMETHING ELSE, SIRS?

COFFEE, TEA, JUICE?

THEY COULD ASK ME TO SING
BACK-UP LIKE THEY USED TO,

BUT THEY DON'T.

FEELS LIKE
I DON'T BELONG.

- WHY IS TRACI SO
PISSED OFF WITH US?

I MEAN, SHE'S BEEN IN
MARYLAND ALL THIS TIME

RAISING HER SON.

NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT,
"GUYS, I WANNA SING BACKGROUND."

NOW, ALL OF A SUDDEN
SHE'S TRIPPING

ABOUT, "HOW COME I'M
NOT SINGING BACKGROUND?

"HOW COME NOBODY
THOUGHT ABOUT ME?"

GIRL, PLEASE, GO AND
SIT DOWN SOMEWHERE.

AIN'T NOBODY
THINKING ABOUT THAT.

- SO, IT'S THE DAY
OF THE SHOW

AND TONI'S RELAXIN',
UNWINDING.

WE'RE ALL GETTING
READY FOR THE SHOW

AND HERE COMES
TRACI BUSTING IN,

WHINING LIKE SHE'S
SOME TWO-YEAR-OLD.

- SO, WHEN AM I SUPPOSED
TO BE A PART OF THE SINGING?

- I HAVE
MY OWN PROBLEMS.

I'M TRYING TO GET MY
OWN CAREER OFF THE GROUND,

AND I AM NOT
THE HUMAN RESOURCES

FOR BACKGROUND
SINGERS OF AMERICA.

UH-UH.

- I'M REALLY PRETTY MUCH SICK
AND TIRED OF THE WOE-IS-ME

AND YOU GUYS LEFT ME
UMPTEEN THOUSAND DECADES AGO.

I REALLY DON'T GIVE
A DAMN ABOUT THAT, ANYMORE.

- WHAT-- BE A
BACKGROUND SINGER.

THAT'S NOT MY FAULT THAT
YOU NOT A BACKGROUND SINGER.

I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO
GO UP THERE AND DOO-WOP

AND TAKE MY PART--
I DON'T GIVE A DAMN!

WHO THE HELL WANTS
TO SING DOO-WOP

FOR THE REST
OF THEIR LIFE.

OKAY, WHATEVER--
I'M READY-- LET'S JUST GO.

- GERARD?
- YES?

- TONI'S READY FOR YOU.
- OKAY.

- AND I'M GONNA TALK
TO YOU REAL QUICK

BECAUSE TRACI'S
THE ONLY ONE.

SHE MAD AT ME BECAUSE
SHE NOT SINGIN' BACKGROUND.

DO I HAVE A RECORD OUT?

AM I-AM I--
THIS IS MY SHOW?

I GOT MY OWN PROBLEMS.

I CANNOT BE RESPONSIBLE
FOR TRACI AND HER CAREER.

I'M TRYING TO WORK
ON MY OWN STUFF.

- HEY, GIRLS.
- HEY.

- DO YOU KNOW IT IS $19.97
A MINUTE TO USE YOUR CELL PHONE?

- YES.
- OKAY, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.

IT'S JUST A FEW HOURS
BEFORE THE SHOW.

SO, I'M THINKING
I'M GONNA CALL MY MOM,

WHO'S WATCHING
ALL THE KIDS,

JUST TO GET
A LITTLE PICK-ME-UP.

LET ME CALL MOMMY--
I HAVE TO CHECK ON MY CHILDREN.

[indistinct]

- DON'T DO THAT--
THAT'S CLEAN!

- MY MOM IS WATCHING
SIX GRANDCHILDREN.

SHE HAS MY COMPLETE
APPRECIATION,

'CAUSE I COULDN'T DO IT.

[indistinct]

- MOMMY, MOMMY.

WE'RE CALLIN' TO
CHECK ON THE KIDS.

WE HAVE YOU
ON SPEAKER.

- I'M SORRY--
WHAT WERE YOU SAYING?

WATCH-WATCH OUT FOR
THAT FIREPLACE, GUYS.

- WHAT IS THAT NOISE?

- BE CAREFUL.

WHAT'D YOU SAY?

- HELLO.

WE'RE GONNA
LET YOU GO.

- OKAY, BYE.
- LOVE YOU.

- OKAY, GUYS.

- THAT COULD TOTALLY
MESS UP YOUR BUZZ.

- WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

- VINCE, YOU OWN A VERY
LUCRATIVE RECORD LABEL.

- IT JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN
THE WAY YOU WANT IT TO HAPPEN

BECAUSE YOU'RE MY WIFE.

♪♪

- OKAY, WHAT Y'ALL
NEED ME TO DO?

- HERE COME MISS BUZZ KILL
TRYING TO BRING US ALL DOWN

BEFORE THE SHOW.

OKAY.

SORRY.

- I'M NOT SINGING,
SO I THOUGHT,

WHY DON'T I OFFER
SOMETHING ELSE.

PERHAPS,
A FOOT MASSAGE.

- STARTING TO
SWEAT LIKE CRAZY.

- WE HAVEN'T
WARMED UP AT ALL.

WE HAVEN'T PRAYED.

- I THOUGHT WE WERE
DOING GOOD ON TIME.

- HI.
- HI, TONI.

- HOW ARE YOU?

- WONDERFUL.

- I GOT INVOLVED
WITH "AUTISM SPEAKS"

WHEN I WAS DOING
MY SHOW IN VEGAS.

I JUST FOUND OUT
DIEZEL WAS AUTISTIC,

AND I THOUGHT
IT WAS MY FAULT.

IT WAS SOMETHING
THAT I DID,

AND THE ORGANIZER
OF "AUTISM SPEAKS"

REACHED OUT
TO ME AND SAID,

"WE HEARD ABOUT YOUR
SON BEING AUTISTIC.

"WHAT CAN WE DO
TO HELP YOU?"

NO REASON--
JUST REACHED OUT.

I'M DOING THIS CONCERT TO RAISE
MONEY FOR AUTISM AWARENESS.

- YEAH.
- VERY GOOD.

- ARE YOU GONNA LOOK
AT MISS BRAXTON?

- HERE, READY-- YAY!

- SMILE.

- Y'ALL LOOKIN' YUMMY.

- WELCOME--
WELCOME TO BERMUDA.

- THANK YOU
FOR HAVING ME.

- I DON'T THINK I SHOULD
HAVE HAD THAT CABBAGE SOUP.

- DIDN'T I TELL YOU?
- YOU DID!

MY STOMACH IS ALL
"WHIR, WHIR, WHIR."

- DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER,
WE THANK YOU FOR THIS DAY.

WE THANK YOU FOR
BRINGING US HERE SAFE

WITHOUT ANY
HARM OR DANGER.

BLESS THE BACKGROUND SINGERS,
BLESS TONI'S VOICE, GOD,

AND GIVE HER
A GOOD SHOW.

LET HER SING AND TO LET
HER TOUCH SOMEONE TONIGHT.

WE THANK YOU FOR
EVERYTHING WE HAVE,

AND WE ASK YOU TO BLESS THE
PEOPLE THAT ARE LESS FORTUNATE.

IN YOUR NAME WE PRAY
FOR A GREAT SHOW.

AMEN.

- AMEN!

- IN THIS BUSINESS
YOU'RE ONLY AS GOOD

AS YOUR LAST
PERFORMANCE,

AND THE PRESS AND THE CRITICS
CAN BE VERY UNFORGIVING.

SO, EVERY SHOW
HAS TO BE AMAZING.

I'M HERE FOR
TWO REASONS.

ONE: TO HELP RAISE AWARENESS
FOR AN INCREDIBLE CAUSE.

AND TWO: TO MAKE SURE THAT
EVERYONE OUT IN THE AUDIENCE

HAS A GREAT TIME.

WHAT'S UP, BERMUDA?

WHOO!

I HAVEN'T BEEN
OUT IN AWHILE.

I'VE BEEN A MOM AND,
YOU KNOW, TAKING CARE--

I HAD A LITTLE
HEART THINGY,

AND THE DOCTORS
TOLD ME

I WOULD NEVER BE
ABLE TO PERFORM AGAIN,

BUT HERE I AM.

AS A PERFORMER,
YOU NEVER KNOW

HOW YOUR HOUR AND
A HALF ONSTAGE IS GONNA GO.

BUT I HAVE TO TELL
YOU, IT WAS PERFECT.

I CAN'T IMAGINE LIFE
WITHOUT PERFORMING.

I HAVE TO DO IT.

- GREAT JOB, GUYS.

- YES, GREAT JOB.

- GREAT JOB.

I CAN'T DO IT
ANOTHER DAY.

- THAT WAS GOOD ENERGY.

- OKAY, GUYS, I GOTTA
GET OFF THESE CLOTHES.

- WHERE'S THE WINE?
- I NEED A DRINK.

I'M GONNA GET SHOWERED,
GUYS-- I'LL BE BACK.

- HOW ABOUT WE ALL TAKE
A SHOWER, THROW ON OUR PAJAMAS,

AND HAVE
A MINI PAJAMA PARTY.

- WITH A GLASS OF WINE?
- YES!

- SOUNDS LOVELY.
- WHOO!

- WHAT WAS THE BEST PART--
WHAT WAS THE HIGHLIGHT?

- MY FAVORITE PART OF
THE SHOW WAS WHEN IT ENDED,

BECAUSE I WASN'T
A DOO-WOP QUEEN ANYMORE.

- FOR ME...

BECAUSE IT BROUGHT BACK
MEMORIES TO ME...

"ANOTHER SAD LOVE SONG."

- OH.
- REALLY?

- DID YOU ALL KNOW
THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME

I SEEN TONI AND
YOU GUYS PERFORM?

I AM YOUR BIGGEST FAN,
AND I'M SO PROUD OF YOU GUYS.

EXCUSE ME, GUYS.

- IT'S OKAY.

- WE WAITED 45 MINUTES FOR
TONI, AND SHE NEVER SHOWED.

SO, I WENT TO GO SEE
WHAT WAS TAKIN' SO LONG.

- WHAT'S UP?
- NOT TONI.

- WHAT?

- SHE'S LAYING IN THE BED--
SHE'S SLEEPIN'.

- ARE YOU SERIOUS?
- YEAH.

- WHO CALLS FOR A SLUMBER
PARTY AND DON'T SHOW UP?

- TONI.
- I CALLED THE SLUMBER PARTY.

- WHATEVER, DOG--
GOOD NIGHT.

- WE ALL DECIDE TO
THROW TONI A PARTY

TO CELEBRATE
HER CONCERT.

SHE DECIDES SHE'S
NOT SHOWING UP.

WHO DOES THAT?

I AIN'T STAYIN' AT
NO DAMN SLUMBER PARTY

AND YOU AIN'T COMIN'.

- I JUST THINK SHE'S HAVING
A PROBLEM WATCHING US ONSTAGE.

- I WOKE UP TODAY WITH
A BAD TASTE IN MY MOUTH.

I JUST KEPT THINKING ABOUT
HOW TRACI WAS NAGGING ALL DAY

ABOUT HER NOT
SINGING BACKGROUND.

- SHE'S STILL TALKING
ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO.

SHE'S LIKE,
"I'M BEIGE, AND I'M JAN."

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE
TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE?

- LOOK, I'M NOT ABOUT
TO BE RESPONSIBLE

FOR NOBODY'S CAREER.

I AM NOT CAPTAIN
SAVE-A-HO.

I CAN ONLY SAVE ONE
AT A TIME AND THAT'S ME.

IT'S LIKE, WE CAME
OUT HERE TO HAVE FUN

AND IT'S LIKE
A DIZAMSASTER.

- DIZAMMASASTER

DIZ-MASTER WHAT?

I CAN ALWAYS TELL
WHEN TAMAR'S UPSET.

- SHE IS FUSSING,
AND HOOTIN' AND HOLLERIN',

AND HAVIN' A DAMN FIT
ABOUT SINGING BACKGROUND

WHEN THAT'S NOT
EVEN THE BOMB.

WHO WANTS TO BE
LIKE, "OH, YEAH.

"WHAT YOU DO, GIRL?"

"OH, I'M A BACKGROUND SINGER."

THAT AIN'T HOT.

IS SHE CRAZY?

I WOULD LOVE TO SIT IN
THE AUDIENCE AND WATCH THE SHOW

AND HAVE A COCKTAIL
AND WATCH Y'ALL WORK.

- WE STARTED OFF HAVING
A CONVERSATION ABOUT TRACI

AND THEN, TAMAR SUDDENLY
STARTS TALKING ABOUT HER CAREER

AND HER LIFE,
AND WHAT SHE WANTS,

AND WHAT SHE
DOESN'T WHAT.

- I AM, HELLO, PROBABLY ONE OF
THE DOPEST SINGERS, PERIOD.

NO, I'M JUST SAYIN'.

MY HUSBAND HAS THE--
I MEAN, I'M SERIOUS.

THE NUMBER ONE SELLING
FEMALE ARTIST IN THE WORLD

AND IT AIN'T ME.

AND I'M HERE IN BERMUDA
SINGING DOO-WOP POP POP

WITH TONI BRAXTON.

THAT'S WHERE I'M AT.

BUT I AM SO TIRED.

I'M, LIKE, TIRED
BEYOND BELIEF.

LIKE, WOW--
I WAKE UP TO IT EVERY DAY.

I WAKE UP TO
THE PHONE RINGING

AND TONI NEEDS THIS, THAT
AND THE OTHER AND IT HAPPENS.

OR I WAKE UP TO GAGA AND SHE
NEEDS SOMETHING AND IT HAPPENS.

AND I'M OVER HERE
LIKE, "HELLO.

"REMEMBER THIS?

"DOO-DOO-DOO-DOO-DOO.

"ME-- THAT'S
THE GIRL WHO CAN SING.

"REMEMBER THAT--
REMEMBER THAT GIRL OVER HERE?"

AND I DON'T GET THAT.

SO, I'M JUST
LIKE ARGH DOT COM.

- IT STARTED TO GET
REAL LOUD IN THAT ROOM

BECAUSE OF TAMAR
TOOTIN' HER OWN HORN.

- GUESS WHAT, TAMAR?

SOMETIMES, THINGS AREN'T
GONNA HAPPEN FOR YOU

THE WAY YOU
WANT THEM TO.

LIKE I TOLD TRACI, "IF YOU
WANNA DO IT, BOOM-- GO DO IT"

- I'M JUST GONNA GO AND
MAKE IT HAPPEN ON MY OWN,

AND YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
TO KICK, SLAP, FUSS,

BREAK UP,
WHATEVER IT IS.

NOT THAT I WANT
TO BREAK UP,

BUT HE'S GONNA BE
REALLY MAD ABOUT IT?

- BE MAD ABOUT WHAT?

- IT'S BUSINESS.

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW
TO SEPARATE THE TWO.

- THINGS REALLY
GET BAD BETWEEN US.

- YOU KNOW WHAT-- WHEN IT
COMES TO YOUR MUSIC CAREER,

IT'S ALREADY BAD
BECAUSE YOU DON'T LISTEN.

YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS,
IT'S THE TRUTH DOT COM,

AND YOU DON'T
WANT TO ACCEPT IT.

♪♪

- I'M JUST GONNA GO AND
MAKE IT HAPPEN ON MY OWN,

AND WE JUST GONNA HAVE TO
KICK, SLAP, FUSS, BREAK UP,

WHATEVER IT IS.

NOT THAT I WANT
TO BREAK UP,

BUT HE'S GONNA BE
REALLY MAD ABOUT IT.

- BE MAD ABOUT WHAT?

- I'M HAVING A CONVERSATION
WITH MY SISTER.

- I'M JUST SAYIN',
BE MAD ABOUT WHAT, THOUGH?

- BE MAD ABOUT ME
SINGING TONI'S BACKGROUND

AND WHEN I SHOULD BE
BEHIND THE MIC STAND.

- TAMAR, LISTEN,

YOU SHOULD DO WHATEVER
MAKES YOU HAPPY.

IT DOESN'T
EVEN MATTER.

- I'M GONNA GO
GET DRESSED.

- IF YOU'RE TIRED OF
SINGING TONI'S BACKGROUND,

YOU SHOULD STOP
SINGING THAT SONG.

IF YOU'RE TIRED OF DOING
WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING,

YOU SHOULD STOP
SINGING THAT SONG.

YOU SHOULD DO WHAT
MAKES YOU HAPPY.

LIFE IS TOO SHORT.

- BUT WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW
WHAT WOULD MAKE ME HAPPY?

- WHAT WOULD
MAKE YOU HAPPY?

- IF YOU WOULD SIGN
ME AND PUT ME OUT--

- I GAVE YOU A--
TELL THE TRUTH.

LET'S TELL
THE TRUTH ABOUT IT.

I GAVE YOU A CONTRACT SIX
MONTHS AGO-- WHERE IS IT AT?

I CAN'T WORK WITH SOMEBODY
THAT'S NOT SIGNING ME.

I CAN'T JUST SIT AROUND
AND MAKE A DEAL WITH YOU,

WHEN YOU DON'T DO
THE PROPER PAPERWORK.

WHETHER YOU'RE MY WIFE
OR NOT, IT'S BUSINESS.

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW
TO SEPARATE THE TWO.

YOU TOLD ME YOU WANT TO
PUT A CLAUSE IN THERE

THAT YOU COME
OUT IN A YEAR.

YOU CAN'T DO THAT--
IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY!

- VINCE, YOU CAN AT LEAST
PUT ME ON A RECORD

WITH GAGA SINGING SOME--
- YOU CAN'T DO THAT.

- SINGING SOME TYPE
OF HOOK OR SOMETHING.

- YOU CAN'T DO THAT.
- LIKE, WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

- WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

- VINCE, YOU OWN A VERY
LUCRATIVE RECORD LABEL.

WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?

- THAT HAS NOTHING
TO DO WITH NOTHIN'.

YOU CAN'T PUT YOU ON
A RECORD SINGING WITH GAGA.

THAT IS GAGA CAREER.

THAT'S HER BUSINESS AND
THAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH YOU.

YOU'RE WORRYING
ABOUT EVERYBODY ELSE.

WORRY ABOUT YOURSELF.

SIGN YOUR PAPERWORK, SO THAT
WHEN I GO TO PEOPLE AND SAY,

"THIS IS WHAT I WANNA DO,"
I GET THE PROPER FUNDING.

I GET THE PROPER MARKETING,
AND I GET THE PROPER PROMOTIONS

TO MAKE ALL OF THOSE
THINGS COME TRUE.

IT JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN
THE WAY YOU WANT IT TO HAPPEN

BECAUSE YOU'RE MY WIFE.

- NO, THE REASON WHY
I HAVEN'T DONE THAT

IS BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE
I'LL REALLY BE FRUSTRATED--

- YOU KNOW WHAT THEN?

- THINGS WILL REALLY
GET BAD BETWEEN US.

- YOU KNOW WHAT-- THINGS
ARE ALREADY BAD BETWEEN US

BECAUSE YOU DON'T LISTEN.
- WOW!

- YOU JUST MAKE
COMMENTS AND COMPLAIN.

- THINGS ARE BAD
BETWEEN US.

- WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR MUSIC
CAREER, IT'S ALREADY BAD,

BECAUSE YOU
DON'T LISTEN.

- YOU ARE REALLY BEING OVER
THE TOP DOT COM, FOR REAL.

- IT'S NOT OVER
THE TOP DOT COM.

IT'S CALLED THAT YOU--
YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS.

IT'S THE TRUTH DOT COM, AND
YOU DON'T WANT TO ACCEPT IT.

- VINCE AND TAMAR
ARE GOING AT IT.

I'M LIKE,
"CHECK, PLEASE."

- SO, YOU DON'T HAVE THE POWER
TO PUT ME ON NO HOOK?

- NOPE-- NOPE--
THAT AIN'T--

- TO 50,000 HOOKS--

- TAMAR!
- I WAS JUST SAYIN', VINCE.

- WELL, DON'T TALK ABOUT,
"I GOT THE BIGGEST ARTIST

"IN THE WORLD."

BECAUSE SHE'S LISTENING--
YOU'RE NOT.

OKAY, WELL, LET ME
TELL YOU THIS, THEN.

THIS IS WHAT
THE SAME THING IS.

AND, TRINA,
LISTEN TO THIS.

IF YOU DON'T LISTEN,
YOU CAN'T WIN.

STOP FOR A MINUTE 'CAUSE YOU'RE
ALWAYS RUNNING YOUR MOUTH,

AND YOU NEED TO
LISTEN, SOMETIME.

DOES THAT MAKE
SENSE, TRINA?

- THAT'S TRUE, TOO.

- WHAT HAVE I NOT
LISTENED TO, VINCE?

- TAMAR, I JUST TOLD YOU
WHAT YOU DIDN'T LISTEN TO.

YOU HAD A CONTRACT
FOR SIX MONTHS.

YOU DON'T TELL
PEOPLE ABOUT THAT,

BUT YOU AIN'T
GET IT DONE.

YOU THINK I DON'T
WANT TO SEE YOU HAPPY?

HAVE A GOOD DAY--
YOU GET ON MY NERVES, MAN.

- I'M GLAD TO KNOW THINGS
ARE GREAT BETWEEN US.

- GOD BLESS YOU.

- AFTER A SHOW,
I LIKE TO DO NOTHING.

JUST CLEAR MY HEAD
OF EVERYTHING-- RELAX.

- I FEEL LIKE TONI'S
THE ONLY PERSON

WHO CAN REALLY GIVE ME
THE ADVICE THAT I NEED,

ESPECIALLY, WHEN IT COMES
TO RECORD EXECUTIVES.

- WHAT'S WRONG?

- VINCE AND I JUST
HAD A MAJOR FIGHT.

- ABOUT WHAT?

- FIRST OF ALL, NOT ONLY
DOES HE HAVE A RECORD LABEL

WITH ONE OF THE BIGGEST
ARTISTS IN THE WORLD--

HE ALSO HAS YOU,
WHICH IS ALSO A BIG ARTIST.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

AND, LIKE, WHATEVER
YOU NEED, HE HELPS YOU.

WHATEVER-- YOU KNOW--
GAGA NEEDS HIM, HE HELPS HER.

OR HE SIGN ALL
THESE PEOPLE UP.

I TOLD VINCE I WILL
SIGN HIS CONTRACT

IF HE PUTS ME OUT
WITHIN A YEAR.

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE
AN ALBUM, A SINGLE--

- I THINK THAT'S REALISTIC.
- I THINK THAT'S REALISTIC--

AND I THINK
THAT'S FAIR,

BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, EXECUTIVES
DON'T SIGN THEIR WIVES.

AND IF THEY SIGN THEIR
WIVES, THEY NEVER COME OUT.

- NEVER.

- I UNDERSTOOD WHERE
TAMAR WAS COMING FROM.

I GOT IT.

THE APPROACH--
SHE HAS TO WORK ON IT

BECAUSE IT
BECOMES ABRASIVE.

- AND HE MAKES ME FEEL
LIKE I HAVE LOST MY MIND,

AND I'M NOT
LISTENING TO HIM.

I'M UNGRATEFUL, THIS,
THAT AND THE OTHER.

HE HAS TO GET
PROPER FUNDING.

CAN YOU BELIEVE
HE SAID THAT?

- SHE'S, LIKE,
A LITTLE KID

THAT'S JUMPING UP
HAVING A TEMPER TANTRUM.

"I WANT IT-WANT IT
NOW-- GIVE ME, GIVE ME.

"I WANT IT RIGHT NOW--
GIVE ME, NOW, NOW, NOW!"

THAT'S NOT ATTRACTIVE.

- WHEN YOU SET US UP,
HE WAS A PRODUCER.

HE WAS SO SUPPORTIVE
OF YOU AND HE STILL IS.

- BUT HE IS NOT
MY HUSBAND.

PRODUCERS AND PEOPLE
IN THE INDUSTRY

DON'T WANT THEIR
WIVES IN THE BUSINESS.

- WHY?

- BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT
MEN GAWKING AT THEIR WIVES.

THEY DON'T WANT
THAT IN A MARRIAGE.

- BUT BOYS GAWK AT ME
ALL THE TIME, ANYWAY.

- THEY WANT THEIR
WIVES TO BE BEAUTIFUL

AND BE TROPHIES
AND THAT,

BUT THEY DON'T WANT
THE COMPETITION IN THEIR HOME.

- I JUST DON'T
UNDERSTAND

WHAT I HAVE TO DO TO,
LIKE, BE A SINGER.

I JUST DON'T THINK
THAT'S A LOT TO ASK,

ESPECIALLY, HIM
BEING WHO HE IS.

- YOU HAVE TO
FIGURE OUT A WAY

TO GET WHAT YOU WANT
FROM YOUR HUSBAND.

- BOTH.
- TO GET BOTH.

- I DIDN'T THINK COMING TO
BERMUDA WOULD BE ALL THIS.

ALL RIGHT, T--
YOU RELAX.

I'M SORRY.
- THAT'S OKAY.

- I LOVE YOU--
THANK YOU.

YOU KNOW WHAT--
GUESS WHAT?

IT IS TIME TO GET IT
TOGETHER DOT COM.

HE JUST GONNA HAVE
TO PUT MY CD OUT

AND JUST SEE
WHAT HAPPENS.

THIS BERMUDA TRIANGLE
JUNK IS A MESS.

- YEAH, THE TRIANGLE
HAS STRESSED US.

THERE MAY BE SOME
TRUTH TO THAT MYTH.

- ALL RIGHT-- SEE YA.

- AS MUCH AS I UNDERSTAND
TAMAR'S FRUSTRATION,

I WISH I WOULD HAVE NEVER
INTRODUCED THE TWO OF THEM.

I HATE BEING PUT
IN THIS SITUATION.

ANOTHER INTERRUPTION.

THERE GOES
"TONI TIME."

WHO IS IT?
- VINCE.

"V."

WHAT UP, "T?"
- VINCE IS VERY PRIVATE,

SO, SEEING HIM
SHOW UP AT THE DOOR,

I KNOW THE SITUATION
WITH HIM AND TAMAR

IS WEIGHING ON
HIM VERY HEAVILY.

WHERE'S TAMAR?
- I DON'T KNOW.

SHE JUST GOT
ON MY NERVES.

- WHAT HAPPENED?

- HER SAME STORY ABOUT HER
AND HOW SHE WANNA BE A SINGER,

WHICH IS COOL, WHICH
IS FINE, WHICH IS GREAT.

I, HONESTLY,
WANT HER TO DO THAT.

I WANNA SUPPORT HER,
BUT SHE TELLS NOBODY

THAT SHE'S HAD A CONTRACT
FOR FOUR MONTHS NOW

THAT SHE'S
NEVER SIGNED.

- WHAT'S HER ISSUE
WITH IT?

- SHE WANTS TO PUT
A STIPULATION IN THE CONTRACT

THAT THE RECORD WILL
COME OUT IN A YEAR.

"NO MATTER WHAT, PUT
MY RECORD OUT IN A YEAR."

WE'LL PUT IT OUT IN A YEAR,
AND IT'S NOT A GOOD SINGLE,

AND IT'S NOT SET UP
FOR THE RADIO,

AND IT'S NOT
SET UP VIRALLY

AND THERE'S NO CAMPAIGN
AND NO ONE CARES.

IT'S ALL A FLOP,
THEN IT'S LIKE, "OKAY,

"IT'S JUST LIKE YOU SHOULD
HAVE NEVER BEEN A SINGER."

- SHE JUST REALLY WANTS
IT SO BAD, VINCE.

- WHEN YOU HAVE
THE RIGHT RECORD, YOU GO.

WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE
THE RIGHT RECORD, YOU DON'T GO,

BECAUSE ONCE YOU BLOW
THAT OPPORTUNITY,

THAT'S IT,
THESE DAYS.

AND THAT'S WHAT MY WIFE
DOES NOT UNDERSTAND.

- I'M BEGINNING TO
WORRY ABOUT TRINA.

SHE'S DRINKING
MORE THAN USUAL.

- TRINA, TRINA.

♪♪

- IT TAKES A TEAM.

IT'S NO "I" IN SUCCESS.

- SHE JUST REALLY
WANTS IT SO BAD, VINCE.

- WHEN YOU HAVE
THE RIGHT RECORD, YOU GO.

WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE
THE RIGHT RECORD, YOU DON'T GO,

BECAUSE ONCE YOU
BLOW THAT OPPORTUNITY,

THAT'S IT,
THESE DAYS.

- THAT'S TRUE-- IS THERE ANY WAY
MAYBE YOU CAN MEET HER HALFWAY?

MAYBE HAVE SOME TIME
STIPULATION IN IT,

BUT IT'S MAYBE
NOT A YEAR.

MAYBE IT'S 18 MONTHS.

- YOU BEEN AROUND
THIS BUSINESS A LOT OF TIME.

YOU'VE SEEN
ARTISTS COME AND GO.

THEY DO NOT GIVE YOU
A SECOND CHANCE, ANYMORE.

- MAYBE IF YOU DO IT,

MAYBE YOU COULD DO IT
WHERE THERE'S A TIME,

AND THEN THERE'S
A STIPULATION TO COVER YOU.

IF IT'S NOT RIGHT,

WE GET ANOTHER NINE
MONTHS TO GET IT RIGHT

BEFORE WE PUT IT OUT.
- NO, I UNDERSTAND THAT.

AND I HAVE NO
PROBLEM DOING THAT.

- DID YOU TELL HER THAT?

DID YOU SAY, "TAMAR, MY FEAR
IS WHEN YOUR PROJECT COMES OUT

"AND IT'S NOT A SUCCESS,
FOR WHATEVER REASON,

"'CAUSE TIMING'S CHANGED
AND ECONOMY'S DIFFERENT,

"THAT COULD JEOPARDIZE
OUR MARRIAGE

"AND THAT'S NOT
WORTH IT TO ME."

YOU SHOULD TELL HER THAT.
- TONI.

- I'M ASKING--
- TONI.

OF COURSE, I HAVE.
- OKAY, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.

- AND YOU KNOW HOW TAMAR--
AND YOU KNOW HOW TAMAR IS.

SHE THINKS
SHE KNOWS IT ALL.

YOU CAN'T TELL
TAMAR NOTHIN'.

SHE WANNA TELL YOU
HOW TO RUN YOUR SHOW.

- I KNOW-- YEAH.

- AND YOU CAN'T BE THAT WAY,
BUT SHE HAS TO LISTEN.

YOUR SISTER DOESN'T LISTEN--
SHE KNOWS IT ALL.

- SO, WHAT DO YOU GUYS
WANT TO DO ABOUT IT?

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA--

- I'M GONNA SIT DOWN AND HAVE
A CONVERSATION WITH HER,

BUT SHE HAS TO BE
WILLING TO LISTEN.

YOU CAN'T NOT--

- LISTEN AS A WIFE
OR AS AN ARTIST?

THERE'S A DIFFERENCE.

- LISTEN AS AN ARTIST, BECAUSE
WHEN YOU PUT THE HAT ON,

IT'S ALL ABOUT BUSINESS.

IF YOU LOVE SOMEBODY,

YOU REALLY WANT THE
RIGHT THING FOR THEM.

YOU REALLY WANT
THEM TO BE HAPPY.

AND I, HONESTLY,
CAN SAY, LIKE,

I'M NOT THE DUDE THAT IS
INVOLVED IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS

AND DON'T WANT TO SEE MY WIFE
COME OUT BECAUSE I'M INSECURE,

BECAUSE SHE'S GONNA BE UP
THERE DANCING AND PERFORMING,

AND WEARING SHORT
CLOTHES AND BEING SEXY.

IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME.

I MET HER BEING A SINGER
AND PURSUING HER CAREER.

WHY WOULD I WANT TO STOP
HER FROM DOING THAT?

- BUT I KNOW YOU
TOLD ME THAT,

BECAUSE I ASKED YOU
MYSELF, PERSONALLY.

- I AM SO COMFORTABLE
WITH HER BEING AN ARTIST,

BUT THANK YOU
FOR TALKING TO ME.

- THANK YOU.

- I ALWAYS LIKE YOUR ADVICE--
YOUR SISTERS LOVE YOU, SO MUCH.

THEY ALWAYS LISTEN TO YOU.
- I LOVE THEM, TOO, BUT I JUST--

I REALLY WANT THIS TO WORK OUT
BETWEEN MY BABY SISTER, TAMAR,

AND VINCE WITHOUT ME
BEING THE GO-BETWEEN.

- WE'LL BE ALL RIGHT--
WE'LL BE GOOD.

- ALL RIGHT, LOVE YA.
- OKAY, LOVE YA, TOO.

- I'LL SEE YA LATER.
- GO AHEAD.

- OKAY-- ALL RIGHT, BYE.

- SO, WE'RE ON OUR WAY BACK TO
THE AIRPORT TO GO TO ATLANTA,

AND IT'S SO AWKWARD BECAUSE
VINCE AND I HAVEN'T SPOKEN

SINCE OUR LITTLE "DISCUSSION."

- DID YOU CALL
YOUR MOTHER?

- I TALKED TO HER
EARLIER TODAY.

SHE CALLED TO CHECK
ON BOTH YOU AND I.

I TOLD HER
WE WERE FINE.

VINCE ASKED ME IF
I CALLED MY MOTHER.

"LIKE, VINCE, DID
YOU MAKE A CALL

"ON BEHALF OF
MY SOLO CAREER?"

LIKE, FOR REAL.

- I NEED YOU NOT TO TRAVEL
WITH SO MANY BAGS.

- THAT'S KINDA ASKIN' A LOT,
BUT, YOU KNOW, I WILL TRY.

I MEAN, WE BOTH KNOW
THERE IS A HUGE ISSUE:

MY SOLO CAREER.

AND I'M GONNA TELL
YOU RIGHT NOW,

I AM NOT ABOUT TO BE HAPPY
UNTIL VINCE TELLS ME

HE'S READY TO
MOVE ON THIS.

- GEORGE, HOW MUCH
FURTHER WE GOT?

- ABOUT HALF AN HOUR, SIR.

- THE CONCERT
WAS GREAT.

NOW, WE'RE FLYING
BACK TO ATLANTA,

AND I'M REALLY EXCITED
ABOUT SEEING MY KIDS.

I'M BEGINNING TO WORRY
ABOUT TRINA A BIT.

SHE'S DRINKING
MORE THAN USUAL.

- FRENCH--
WHAT IS THAT?

WHY IS EVERYTHING
DROPPING?

- IS THAT A LOUIS VUITTON
BAG THAT FELL?

WE'RE JUST GONNA LET

THE LOUIS VUITTON BAG
LAY ON THE FLOOR?

THAT'S ILLEGAL.

IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT.
- TRINA, TRINA, TRINA.

- CHANEL'S ON THE FLOOR?

- OKAY, WHAT'S
ANOTHER ONE?

- TRINA IS OUT.

- TRINA SAID THAT
HER FAVORITE MEAL

WAS RED WINE AND
A BEER FOR DESSERT.

- SHE'S AN ALCOHOLIC,

BUT THAT LOOKS LIKE A RESULT
OF WINE AND AMBIEN RIGHT THERE.

- TRINA.

- TAKE HER HAIR OUT
OF HER FACE, AT LEAST.

CAN YOU TAKE HER
HAIR OUT OF HER FACE?

- I KNOW MY SISTERS
LOVE TO DRINK,

BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN
TRINA DRINKING LIKE THIS.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S BECAUSE
OF HER MARITAL ISSUES OR WHAT,

BUT IT'S BECOMING
A LITTLE WORRISOME.

- YAY!

HEY, YOU!

- THANK YOU, SO MUCH--
I APPRECIATE IT.

- OH, YOU'RE WELCOME.

- HI, HONEY.

- HI.

- ALL RIGHT!

- AFTER ALL OF THE SOUNDS
IN THAT PHONE CALL,

I THOUGHT THAT
THE PLACE WOULD BE TORE UP.

BUT, OF COURSE, MOMMY
HAD IT ALL UNDER CONTROL.

- BYE--
COME BACK-- COME BACK.

- OKAY, OKAY.

CLOSE THE DOOR.
- SEE YA.

- BYE.
- ALL RIGHT, LOVE YOU.

- ALL RIGHT,
THANKS AGAIN.

DID YOU GUYS SAY
"THANKS" TO MY MOMMY?

- ALL RIGHTY.
- LOVE YOU.

SEE YA LATER, MOMMY.
- BYE.

Y'ALL COME BACK,
COME BACK.

- BYE, MOM-- SEE YOU.
- WHEW!

THANK GOD FOR JESUS.

- YOU DON'T SUPPORT
NOTHING I DO.

MY BABY DOES NOT SUPPORT
ME AND THAT'S JUST--

- I GOT A DUI, AND I GOT
ARRESTED AND WENT TO JAIL.

- WHAT?!

OH, JESUS,
YOU GOT A MUG SHOT.

- I JUST SOMETIMES THINK
THAT YOU DON'T LIKE ME.

- BASICALLY, I FEEL LIKE
I MARRIED MY MOTHER.

AND YOU KNOW
I DIDN'T LIKE MY MOTHER.

YOU KNOW THAT.

- TRINA'S, LIKE, GOING DOWN
AND NOT UP AND UP AND UP.

- WE PROBABLY NEED TO
BRING DR. SHERRY IN.

- YEAH, SHE'S BEEN
DRINKING A LOT.

- HERE WE GO.

- WHY ARE YOU
SO DEFENSIVE

WHEN IT COMES TO
WHEN I SAY SOMETHING?

- OH, TAMAR, SHUT UP!

- THIS IS GOING TO
BE A TRAIN WRECK.
