Post by bunniefuu »

whereabouts but sources tell us

girlfriend's been missing all season we

here at Nick Evening News promis to keep

you posted on any late breaking news or

information that we receive here in The

Newsroom we take you now to the special

report is missing L is missing L is

missing I didn't have nothing to do with

it I don't know where latata is don't

look at me let me tell you something

about L she doesn't take no for answer

she was never afraid to go out there and

just get what she needed to get she had

to be in charge she got angry and she

actually attacked me suddenly latata

comes just flying in seeking out the

spotlight I guess just couldn't stand

[Music]

it

latata I hate to admit this you know

guess now would be the right time and

the perfect place but Lata and I

actually blood cousins latata Jenkins

was born in Detroit Michigan in October

of 1980 and it was clear from the

beginning that she stood out from the

rest family friend and Mentor Oswald

Watkins yeah I used to babysit L you

know what I mean she fisty little thing

you know she's a cool person she was

just raised in the environment to where

she doesn't really have to hold her

tongue well I remember even in the first

grade she was always trying to prance

around like she was better than all the

other girls and stuff and always trying

to take somebody man and I had a

boyfriend again in the first grade that

she took from me and I didn't appreciate

it and she ain't never apologize for

taking somebody man malicious behavior

aside one thing was for certain there

was something about Latana that stood

out what was it about Latana that didn't

stand out that child was a terror her

name should have been Lara not

Latana everything had to revolve around

Latana I could not get her to really be

able to play with the other children I

know you did you just took my hair you

girl whip your off she was the queen be

she had to be in charge she was a very

gifted child though

as a child latata showed promise as a

dancer once in high school she decided

to put her talent to the test by

auditioning for the cheerleading squad

she came to our school for our

cheerleading tryouts and she tried out

and we kind of all didn't like her very

much hey hey hey my name L hey and I

look good hey get with me hey you wish

you could hey hey she's kind of into

boys and her nails why don't broken nail

hold up hold up emergency and she wore

high heels y'all ooh it's strong man

that be footballing over here and then

we started to like her because she

showed us all these neat cheers and

they're really actually really awesome

they're all brand new we've never heard

of them before you g l y you ain't got

no alibi you ugly you

ug we gave her a uniform and then the

next day we had a game with her and we'

all practiced and stuff and then she

broke her ankle there and ever since

we've just never seen her she's never

come back latata viewed her broken ankle

as a sign of failure for a fledgling

Diva failure was not an option and so

the disappearing act quickly became one

of her favorite

tricks after graduating high school at

the middle of her class latata decided

to forego college and took up a job with

her childhood friend at the local

inconvenience

store how you working

work oh

I'm sorry I am late girl but they was

having a b*mb sale now that we got

closed for last oh you we be making a

like cuz I was just down here myself oh

God girl check out these earrings I just

bought I remember this one time when uh

this fine boy had walked into the

inconvenience store right but here come

the all up in this Grill talking about

hey ain't you cute and don't you want to

be with tall skinny girl oh would I look

cute in that wedding dress right there

no I don't think so you funny you should

be a

comedian I don't know who she think she

was but y'all know be calling me out

like that uh turning on lights I I I

wasn't ready I didn't shave and I broke

a nail and I I love latata I I love Lata

because she is a beautiful person and

she is a

good Hanan

humanitarian no

humanitarian but the inconvenience store

was no place for latata it was hard work

and largely unfulfilling but in the

spring latata met and fell in love with

a young entrepreneur named Ricardo she

immediately quit her job and took a

position as a receptionist at dud Co

Enterprises Dear Mr

Snodgrass it behooves me to write to you

regarding the calamitous piling of your

award win winning giant

pumpkin

de what's his name again you know what I

can do this myself is that part of the

memo

no you made me break the nail and

St despite the rocky start latan was

able to maintain her job there eager to

impress Ricardo she told him she was the

boss and indeed it did impress him it

was a fairy tale Romance until one day

Ricardo decide to pay latata a visit at

work I just had to see my lovely

executive at the place where she is the

boss uh well well well well that that's

here and and I'm the boss just like I

told you you uh okay

let's oh oh D you put the pap down over

there that's where I was going tell you

don't back talk me I am deos

you that's what I really miss about L

time she was never afraid to go out

there and just get what she needed to

get but her plan backfired When Miss

Williams caught win of latata scheme she

fired the assertive Diva and ran off

with

Ricardo latata was

devastated deep in her depression she

remembered an early dream of becoming a

world famous supermodel she was a nice

young little tall ly thing had a

mustache thick as mine but she something

was cute about it you know what I'm

saying she worked with her in a in a

restaurant one time I was performing she

was a waitress struggling mod you know

she trying to be a I told her shave up

her lip she probably get more work true

to form the Restless Diva decided to

take matters into her own hands if no

one would give her an opportunity she

would create one for herself fashion

model Tracy Arbuckle I was uh doing a

photo sh**t and suddenly latata comes

just flying in seeking out this

Spotlight I guess you know throws

herself in front of the photographer and

she was throwing around some attitude

models ain't supposed to have last name

Tyra you see what I'm talking about well

I resented the intrusion she was kind of

a diva but um as I as much as I hate to

admit it she has something unique you

know definitely something I haven't seen

before and she has great legs but she's

definitely got to work on that

attitude get

you I'll take

all that's it that was it what that is

the pose go back leg up that's wonderful

we were a little we were a little cranky

because the photographer ended up liking

her more than he liked us I can't say I

want to work with her

again the gamble paid off and soon with

her face on the cover of every major

magazine Lata Jenkins would become a

household name oh yeah you like me

now you inspired me you made me feel

good when we return the rise and fall of

latata Jenkins latata did her thing I

wasn't too

pleased okay uh-uh uh-uh uh-uh okay okay

oh no you didn't oh no you didn't latata

Jenkins new found success as a fashion

model opened the door for a myriad of

opportunities you know when I tried to

give her a job as a reporter on my show

I was thinking maybe she can handle this

put a little money in her pocket you

know make our family proud latata

Jenkins was the Talk of the Town

Hollywood embraced her with open arms

she began a career of unparalleled

success with the help of cousin Nick she

was caught up in a whirlwind that

carries her straight to the top but I

want to give you a hug cuz you look good

oh thank you I could be the next Angel

you could be the next Angel let me tell

you something about that girl she was a

star she wasar rough her success had

skyrocketed her to a point far beyond

her wildest

dreams you were never in the same place

at the same time I was Sting her out to

do some you know on the field reporting

and stuff and she would go do her thing

she was Untouchable a role model for

women all over the world

and she won the admiration of some of

the most influential women in Hollywood

you inspired me you made me feel good um

I'm like I could be myself and want to

be the best version of myself oh you do

do that girl do that you be you through

you know I try to keep up with all my

students and so yes I kept up with

latata and I'm very proud of her I

thought some of the things she did was a

little unusual but I think she's very

gifted very talented and I must say I

have enjoyed watching her but not

everyone thought she was all that friend

and co-star Tech money when I first met

latata you know I didn't really care for

her cuz she was a little too aggressive

but she somehow got my number to my

house two-way sale and my manager's

number and so she invited me on a day

you know went to Universal Studios rode

a few rides her wig fell off that was

cute then we went to the diner

afterwards and she pretty much ate my

food her food and the people next to us

food you know but we had a great time

Excuse Me Miss two little rude girls

interrupting my little interview here

with tech who do you think you are what

entertainment reporter ain't I Tech uh

yeah that's what you said the T and I

never went out again after the diner

experience because uh I changed my

numbers to my two-way my Cale my house

and my manager number and uh I don't

know if she had time to get those

numbers uh before she disappeared but

she never called me critics and nays

weren't enough to stop the international

Juggernaut as she continued to bask in

the light of her own shimmering

reflection it's all about me I told

y'all It's All About Me lata's notorious

attitude was getting out of hand and it

was about to get the best of her music
