RICKEY SMILEY: And I got to say congratulations on R&B Divas and how the hell do you keep everybody, uh, keep it balanced, and keep it everybody from tearing each other head off?
ANGIE STONE: You know they can’t stand up under the blood. I had to bring it all out, baby.
RICKEY SMILEY: I know you did.
ANGIE STONE: (Laugh)
EBONY STEELE: So was it tough being the new cast member because you are the new cast member, of course, season two R&B Divas is airing on Wednesdays 10 p.m. on TV1. Because you know what? You strike me as one of those people that may have said in the past, you know, I ain’t gonna never do no reality show.
ANGIE STONE: Well, you know what, I had my feel of reality when I did Celebrity Fit Club, so I really understood reality and at that point I said I’m not doing this anymore because reality is reality.
RICKEY SMILEY: Right.
ANGIE STONE: Um, it was a little scary, and yet again, I faced the same thing and I won. Bam. Spank myself sometimes.
EBONY STEELE: What’s your biggest? Your mouth?
ANGIE STONE: No.

EBONY STEELE: Right.
ANGIE STONE: Is just trying to keep the car on the road with these people. (Laugh)
EBONY STEELE: Okay.
HEADKRACK: Now, would you be in like, you know, amongst so many people who are established, right? You know, yourself included. Like is there one person that you gel with more so than another? Because there’s a lot of egos, a lot of attitudes, you know what I’m saying? And like, you know, it’s hard for women to coexist in situations like that it seems.
ANGIE STONE: Well, see, that’s the one thing that I’m trying to change because over the years, from what I can remember with the Supremes breaking up, and then people, like SWV, who I adore, breaking up and getting back together. My dream is to maximize the moment and show that women can work together and can come together without it being crazy. That’s been very difficult thus far. But we trying to make it happen.
GARY WIT DA TEA: All right. So, okay, now Angie, I see you appeared in Scary Movie 5.
ANGIE STONE: Uh-huh.
GARY WIT DA TEA: So you’re doing movies, you’re doing TV, you’re still singing, I mean you got it all going on because you got all the money.
ANGIE STONE: I’m trying to get all the money, okay?
GARY WIT DA TEA: Yeah, so but that’s good. It’s nice seeing you too, Angie. I mean you did lost weight, baby you’re looking fabulous.
EBONY STEELE: You do look outstanding.
ANGIE STONE: Thank you. Thank you.
