<span style="font-style: italic"> Disgraced U.S. sprinter Marion Jones feared for her life in a prison brawl — and for winning the punch-up she received 48 days of solitary confinement, The (Sydney) Daily Telegraph reported Wednesday.


Looking for more sports scoop? You can count on Brooks to dish it up.
The dethroned queen of the Sydney Olympics revealed the nasty episode in her new book, On The Right Track, written mostly from notes she sent to her husband Obadele Thompson during her six-month stay in a Fort Worth prison in 2008.

She was jailed for lying to a grand jury that she had never knowingly used banned drugs to help her win a single-Games record of five medals for athletics a decade ago.

As part of a plea bargain, she confessed to intentionally doping while up on charges related to a check fraud that landed her previous husband Tim Montgomery in jail for a much longer stretch.

Montgomery was also caught dealing heroin.

&quot;I surely wish that I could go back and change certain things in my past, on the one hand, but then I wouldn't be who I am today, someone who I'm actually really proud of,&quot; Jones said.

The long spell in solitary was the low point for Jones, who lost all five Olympic medals.

For Colored Who Have Considered Suicide When is Enuf by Ntozake Shange was a very powerful play that i had an opportunity to see about 3000 years ago in NYC

i remember being in tears . . .

should be interesting to see what tyler does with it

the starkness of it as a play was riveting - performed as a series of poems from the characters . . .

Re: &quot;For Colored Girls&quot; Premiere

<span style="font-style: italic">Structurally, For Colored Girls is a series of 20 poems, collectively called a &quot;choreopoem.&quot; It is performed by a cast of seven women characters, each of whom is known only by a color: &quot;Lady in Yellow,&quot; &quot;Lady in Purple,&quot; etc. The poems deal with love, abandonment, rape, and abortion, embodied by each woman's story, i.e. Lady in Blue's visceral account of a woman who chooses to have an abortion, and Lady in Red's tale of domestic violence. The end of the play brings together all of the women for &quot;a laying on of hands,&quot; in which Shange evokes the power of womanhood as the Lady in Red begins the mantra &quot;I found God in myself/and I loved her/I loved her fiercely.&quot;

ntozake shange and nikki giovanni. black american poets i was into when others were reading maya.

[Seveen]

Re: &quot;For Colored Girls&quot; Premiere

i read nikki too MG

well in the play there was only one person on stage at a time doing their &quot;poem&quot;

each woman discussed some aspect of womanhood that could be faced by other women - that's why no names were given to the actresses - just lady in red, lady in yellow

the last scene united the woman and it was a powerful message of woman coming together - from all experiences

i can't see how a movie can operate quite the same way . . .

Re: &quot;For Colored Girls&quot; Premiere

I applaud her for loving herself as is and not getting caught up in the plastic surgery game - not getting implants.

She's not a particularly outstanding actress - I don't find her able to carry a film entirely on her own but - the first time I became aware of her was almost 20 years ago.

She was in a lovely, lovely little Australian film called &quot;Flirting&quot;. <span style="font-style: italic">(also starring Nicole Kidman - another one on the mediocrity tilt)</span>

I highly recommend it.

Re: &quot;For Colored Girls&quot; Premiere

she was in beloved and she wore that part out!

i didn't like the movie that much (or the book) but i thought her performance was outstanding . . .

Re: &quot;For Colored Girls&quot; Premiere

My bad - I forgot that one. Prolly cause the movie was so painfully bad, imho.

Yes - she WAS good in Beloved. Quite uninhibited.
