Whitney Houston Tribute At 'Billboard Music Awards'
'Celebrity Apprentice' Finale: Who Got Hired?
By Karu F. Daniels, AOL Black Voices
Call off the A.P.B.!!!
Maia Campbell has been found.
I think.
The Missing In Action actress has reportedly surfaced in Los Angeles, reports 'Philadelphia Daily News.'
Last month, stories spread like wildfire about the former 'In The House' star and daughter of late best-selling novelist Bebe Moore Campbell skipping town after a Philadelphia-area man filed a police report alleging that she stole his Jeep.
There was also a report that the 30-year-old beauty was present during a recent police sweep of a drug house on the 6300 block of Chew Avenue.
"[She] still manages to keep her nails and feet done and is still very pretty," a West Coast source told the newspaper. "She really needs to go to rehab based off what I saw with my own eyes."
'The News' also noted that Campbell hasn't returned multiple messages left on her cell phone in recent weeks.
Campbell, who also appeared in music videos for Tyrese and Lil' Kim, is believed to be the subject of her mother's last book '72 Hour Hold,' which deals with mentall illness.
In an interview with AOL Black Voices, one of her last, the NAACP Image Award winning author commented, "watching my loved one become violent and an incoherent stranger certainly tested my faith. My very close family member has bipolar disorder, which is a mood disorder - a disease of the brain."
Last year, Campbell became fodder for internet chatroom and black gossip blogs when an alleged videoclip of her naked and singing surfaced.
The "alleged" videoclip is below.

Hey Jacqui #77. I read the Coldest Winter Ever. I thought the same thing.She was the person I pictured in my mind as Winter. Does anyone know the name of that show she was in with Larenz Tate. It was on fox and only lasted a few episodes. It aired probably a year after Menace II Society.

Ed, I believe the show you are referring to was called South Central.

I've been praying that Maia would be okay.
I pray she is getting the help she needs now.

Blackploitation at its best! Why do we have to exploit our town like the others do for insane reasons. This is not cute nor is it entertaining. This is about a young woman who needs support, love, therapy and our prayers.

To All Young Girls
It only takes ONE TIME for you to get strung out.
And many MEN would love to do it to you. Why are these men video taping her.
We know why.

When my husband told of this story I couldn't believe it!! It's amazing that Maia was that close to where I lived. I was literally one block in front of where she was. I moved from this neighborhood because of the drugs and shootings. All I have to say is, these guys that tried to exploit her, are haters!! Another example of our (OWN)people trying to keep each other down. If Maia wasn't on drugs, these dudes wouldn't be in the same vicinity has her. Maia, my beautiful black sister,(MOTHER), one day you will resurface and become the queen you are. Don't let anyone tell you any differently!! It was a reason this happened. This is the low point. So guess what, it doesn't get any worse!! Death is next, but you won't let that happen. You have a beautiful child to look after. And fans that will always adore.
Peace and Love
From One sister to another
