Some interesting new tidbits from Jeffré Phillips!

I just spoke with Jeffré on the telephone and he had a few things to say regarding La Toya and the album.

La Toya DOES have two more songs to complete for the record. They are going for a "four to the floor" dance style album with ten tracks including a new mix of Just Wanna Dance. They spent hours on the plane back and forth from Europe going over potential tracks for the album. As we told you before, I Don't Play That and Free the World will not be included on the final product. They've cut the idea of using interlude/skit tracks as well.

He was adamant that he wouldn't give a date but he said I won't be asking him a year from now about the release date of Startin' Over. The first quarter looks likely. Universal wants to put the original draft of the album, I Don't Play That and the mixes of Just Wanna Dance and Free the World on iTunes when the album is released.

Pop Dynasty is still on. However, CBS keeps giving them date after date (sound familiar?) and then dates pass by without another word. The last they heard was to "keep La Toya's schedule open in May" and here we are at the end of May with nothing. La Toya took a meeting with them just three weeks ago regarding the show. Things will come but it's just the nature of the business.

La Toya is approached once or twice a year to write another book chronicling her life since the release of her first. She has always turned the offers down but now would consider it. There is no book deal right now but it may happen sometime soon.

Both he and La Toya felt let down with CBS not re-airing Armed & Famous as promised. La Toya was even approached by fans in Copenhagen saying that the show was recently airing and they they loved her on it.

La Toya will be returning to Muncie, Indiana for the month of July to log her hours as a police officer. (To keep your position, you must log two weeks on the job per calendar year.) Both Erik Estrada and Jack Osbourne have returned to Muncie and La Toya is keen to do so this summer!


That's all the info I can give for now, so enjoy! :D

[font=Comic Sans MS]HI toy fans,

Thanks so very much for the La Toya's information. I'm really looking forward for Starting Over to be release & I've sooo long. Does La Toya ever visit this website? If talk to Jeff again please tell him to tell La Toya to visit this website. Let her know that are Fantastic Fans around the world who really love her & support all the way. I hope someday she'll send us her picture with her autograph. By the way, what's her fanmail address? & La Toya website hasn't been updated ever since!!. Thanks again.

You Gonna Get Rocked,

Samira
xxxxxxxxxx :D :D

Thank you for sharing this info! I wonder if La Toya will release new singles in support of the album? They would surely rocket to the top of the dance chart. 4/4 is making a comeback in mainstream music so she has made a wise choice. I can't wait to hear what La Toya has in store for her fans.

I'd love for her to update her autobiography. She could do a press tour and set the record straight while promoting Starting Over.

I'm drooling at the prospect of a new JWD mix!

While this news sounds very promising, I'm not getting my hopes up until I see Startin' Over listed on Amazon. We've had so many 'updates' before and to keep us hanging on for so long makes you give up a bit of hope each time.

Fingers crossed things come together before everyone has lost interest.

Is there anyway I could send my last post regarding the book to Jeffre. Does he or Toy have an email.

with a jackson.. you can't trust their words... just their actions...

just like Mike talks about releasing an album for 2 or 3 years now.. and nothing has been completed.. not even a few clips...

so with latoya.. i don't even care... but i do enjoy the songs of her starting over album... i like Just wanna dance, NO drama... etc

Definitely not getting excited about this. I think Jeffree just says things to keep up sitting on our hands. Perhaps he isn't even managing Toy anymore? If La Toya would do an interview for Danish TV, I wrote numerous times to JATAIL, Jeffree and all the others that we were willing to pay good money to have her make an appearance here, but never heard anything back....

Well, i do believe the news about her wanting to return to Muncie, because i believe she really did enjoy her time as a cop.

Oh, okay now I'm confused? Y not... So that means somebody is lying: Jeffre/Ja-Tail employee or Matt (which I doubt).

I'm definitely not getting my hopes up and none of you should either. After all these years, it'd be foolish to believe it before we see it.
