Toni Braxton Unable To Continue

Toni Braxton has ended her stint at Vegas' Flamingo casino to focus on her heath. She was recently hospitalized in April for chest pains, and has decided to end Toni Braxton: Revealed for good. It has run at the Flamingo for two years.

Braxton has been diagnosed with pericarditis, a viral inflammation of the heart, in the past.

The last time I was in Vegas, I was struck by Toni's huge billboard on the side of the Flamingo. All I could think was "unbreak my heart, Toni." This is sad, and I hope she gets better.

Toni Braxton hospitalized with chest pains

Posted: April 8th, 2008, 4:23pm CDT by JayBird

Toni Braxton, who is a spokeswoman for the American Heart Association, was admitted to the hospital last night after suffering from chest pains during her Las Vegas show. Braxton found out that she had pericarditis during her last pregnancy.

R+B star Toni Braxton has been admitted to a hospital in Las Vegas. The “Unbreak My Heart” singer was taken to St. Rose Dominican Hospital on Monday night after her show at the Flamingo Hotel and Casino, where she has been performing since 2006.

The full details surrounding Braxton’s hospital visit are currently unclear, but she is known to suffer from the heart condition pericarditis, where the sack surrounding the heart becomes inflamed. She is said to be in good condition, according to local news station Fox 5.

Braxton is due to return to the Las Vegas stage on Wednesday (09Apr08), but whether or not that show has been cancelled as a result of her new health problem has yet to be revealed.

Wikipedia says pericarditis symptoms generally present as “Chest pain, radiating to the back and relieved by sitting up forward and worsened by lying down, is the classical presentation. Other symptoms of pericarditis may include dry cough, fever, fatigue and anxiety. Pericarditis can be misdiagnosed as myocardial infarction (heart attack), and vice versa.” There’s a wide variety of causes, ranging from a viral or bacterial infection to Lupus to a heart attack. It sounds like Toni pulled through her whole show, which is amazing. Hopefully Braxton will be okay and make a quick recovery.

Toni Braxton sued by her wardrobe designer

Posted: August 9th, 2007, 12:27pm CDT by JayBird

Tags: toni braxton

Toni Braxton, she of little clothing and the crazy nip slips, has been sued for breach of contract for not paying for her clothing. Ironic, no? Anthony Franco, a wardrobe and costume designer, sued Braxton for the $15,000 she still owes him for work he did for her “Toni Braxton: Revealed” Las Vegas show. Braxton was supposed to pay Franco $35,000 for designing the whole wardrobe for her show, and she wrote him a check for that amount. However she stopped payment on it. She eventually paid him $20,000 – leaving $15,000 still owed.

“Is there a chink in Toni Braxton’s business chain?

“The “’Unbreak My Heart’ chanteuse was sued for breach of contract Friday by a costume designer who claims Braxton bounced a check and has yet to pay their agreed-upon fee for his work on her Las Vegas show, ‘Toni Braxton: Revealed.’

“Plaintiff Anthony Franco, who says he designed the entire wardrobe for Braxton’s standing act at the Flamingo Hotel, claims he has only collected $20,000 of the $35,000 that’s owed to him and that the check he tried to cash was returned for insufficient funds because the defendants put a stop-payment on it.

“Liberty Entertainment Inc., which issued the check, has also been named as a defendant.

“Franco is seeking $15,000 in compensation, plus unspecified damages for the alleged slight, according to the complaint filed in Los Angeles Superior Court.

“Braxton’s reps have not yet commented on the suit.”

[From E! News]

Braxton has a history of money and management problems. She filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection ten years ago, owing almost $4 million. According to Wikipedia, “All of her personal household possessions were tagged and marked for sale to pay off her creditors, including her prestigious awards.” In January 2007 she filed a lawsuit against her ex-manager Barry Hankerson for “fraud, deception and double dealing,” for convincing her to leave her longtime record label for his own. Hankerson is the uncle of the late R&B singer Aaliyah, and was her manager as well. She lost the suit, in a big way – the judge ruled that she had to pay Hankerson $375,000 and a percentage of the sales from her next album.

Toni Braxton sorta seems to have a screw lose. I really hate it when celebrities are always losing their clothes. 99.9% of the population walks around everyday and is able to keep their naughty bits to themselves. It’s not that hard. It’s not indicative of classiness when anyone does it, but Toni is almost 40 years old – that’s way beyond the age where she can pretend to be dumb and not know what she’s doing. And she seems to think she doesn’t have to pay for things, services included. Here’s some super classy pictures of her performing.

Toni Braxton's New Single is "Unbreak My Bank"

The Atlanta-based R&B singer appears to be experiencing some financial difficulties at the moment. Toni Braxton was sued on Friday for breach of contract, after a check she'd written to a costume designer bounced, leaving the designer without payment for work done on Braxton's Las Vegas show, "Toni Braxton: Revealed." Actually, it's less likely that Braxton is hard-up for cash and is more likely that she's just not interested in paying the designer for whatever reason, since her splashy Vegas show has been extended to February 2008. According to E!:

Plaintiff Anthony Franco, who says he designed the entire wardrobe for Braxton's standing act at the Flamingo Hotel, claims he has only collected $20,000 of the $35,000 that's owed to him and that the check he tried to cash was returned for insufficient funds because the defendants put a stop-payment on it.
This is random, but does anyone remember the Braxtons? My sister totally bought their album when it came out and I believe that I remember seeing one of Toni's sisters on the "Starting Over" house. That was back when I was unemployed and watching lots of network daytime TV and I remember thinking that I really wanted to go on there. Um...are they still accepting applications? I'm pretty sure I could still blog from inside, AND get my daddy issues cleared up.
More photos of a performing Toni Braxton are after the jump.
