Eden’s Crush member Ana Maria checked in with fans on her official site’s message board on Tuesday. Ana addressed the death of TLC’s Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopes as well as how her solo project is going, while thanking fans for their support. Ana writes, “I was very saddened by the deaths of Lisa ‘Left-Eye’ Lopes and her companions [Note: none of the companions died] in Honduras. I spent Sunday evening praying for them and their families. I am a huge TLC fan, and have been for a while. I was reminiscing the other day, thinking of all the songs that bring back memories, like ‘Baby, Baby, Baby’ and ‘Creep’, ‘Red Light Special’, ‘Waterfalls’, etc. So many great songs! They were and are and will be an inspiration to me always. They are proof that anything is possible!”

Ana Maria of Eden’s Crush offered words of encouragement for a fan with somewhat low self-esteem who was unhappy with how she looked in her photo taken with the singer that was posted on her official website. Ana said, “Hi, Natassia! I read your post and I want you to know that I think the picture is wonderful, Which is why I put it up on my site. You’re a beautiful girl, with a beautiful name and I’m very proud to know that you’re an EC fan. However, if you would like me to remove it, please let me know and I will ask Leslie [the webmaster] to take the picture down. I’m sorry if it made you uncomfortable in any way. We wanted you to see the picture.” The fan was honored to have the photo up and said it was ok for Ana to leave it on her official site.

I’m doing great! I’ve been spending the majority of my time writing/collaborating with other musicians and writers. Hopefully you’ll be able to hear some new music this year. I’m very excited about it and I can’t wait to share it with all of you. It won’t be for a little while but it’s coming! Keep dreaming and never give up on yourselves.”

Eden’s Crush member Ana Maria shared her experience over the weekend where she appeared on the NBA Celeb Shoot-out and game. Ana told fans on her official site message board, “Hi, Ya’ll! I had so much fun yesterday! Thanks to everyone who came to support the cause and watch the games… as you might have heard I didn’t play B-ball, although I attempted to shoot a couple hoops during warm-ups (out of 20, I think I finally made one) just for fun, ’cause although I like Basketball I haven’t played for like, 8 yrs.”
