Message from a Mistress

Will 160 characters lead to the end of someone’s marriage?

By: NIOBIA BRYANT

National bestselling author Niobia Bryant releases her seventeenth novel, Message from a Mistress which is loosely based on the 1940's movie A Letter to Three Wives.

Jaime Hall, Renee Clinton, and Aria Livewell all reside with their spouses in the affluent gated community, Richmond Hills, in New Jersey. The ladies are all best friends with their Richmond Hill neighbor, Jessa Bell–a sexy and single socialite. Trouble is Jessa Bell has just sent them all a text message taunting that she has run away with one of their husbands. That message opens the door to each of the woman’s unspoken insecurities in their marriage as each recalls incidents that hint that their husband is the one. And with the husbands away—and unreachable-- on a chartered fishing boat all day and Jessa not answering her phone, they have all day to wonder…and to worry about scandalous secrets of their own.

Throughout the book–which takes place in one day–Jessa Bell also recalls her steamy relationship with her unidentified lover. Everything about their explicit romps are revealed from the day she first seduced him up until the day he agreed to leave his wife–her friend–for her.

About the Author--

Niobia Bryant a self described chameleon of the written word has contributed to the book world since 1999 with the release of her first short story Hush, Hush. Since then she has garnered publishing deals with 3 major houses, Simon & Schuster, Dafina and Harlequin. As a full-time writer she has penned over 15 novels using three different monikers including Simone Bryant (Young Adult) and Meesha Mink (Urban Fiction) within four genres of fiction literature targeted for African American females including romance and contemporary. In 2010 she will release three new books a contemporary, a romance and a young-adult within months of each other. This Newark, NJ native splits her time between South Carolina and New Jersey.

45-second book excerpt---
After receiving the text message from Jessa Bell-- Aria, Renee and Jamie decide to head to Jessa's home to confront her and discover yet another surprise

The taxi slowed at the glass-enclosed security booth and Aria lowered the window, knowing they would need to identify themselves to get inside thier subdivision. Sure enough, Lucky, the potbelly, red-faced security guard, walked back to the rear of the taxi. He stuck his head inside. "Hello ladies, he greeted them warmly.
"Lucky, have you seen Ms. Bell yet? Aria asked. His face was instantly confused. "Ms. Bell?" Well, remember she moved today ---?
"She moved," all three women said in unision with plenty of emphasis, obviously shocked as hell. "You ladies being such good friends, I assumed you all knew she was moving today."

Renee pocked the cork on the Patron again.

Tameka Foster Acting A Damn Fool At The NBA All-Star Game Weekend!

2010-02-16T15:12:00.010-06:00

Drama!

Talking about the pot calling the kettle black? Former celebrity stylist and professional gold digger Tameka Foster is looking for a new publicist after their very public blow up in Dallas this weekend.

According to close friends of Atlanta publicist Rochelle Brown of The V Firm PR, Tameka Foster threatened Brown and accused her of stealing $20,000 worth of clothes in what turned out to be a major misunderstanding.

But Tameka, being the unstable person that she is, took the whole misunderstanding to another level by physically threatening her frightened publicist, who is now contemplating taking out a police report against Foster.

Friends say Brown was hired by Foster to help repair her damaged image after her very public divorce from R&B singer Usher.

Here’s how it all went down:

Foster and Brown went to Dallas, Texas together to attend the NBA All Star festivities this past weekend. The ladies went out on Saturday night and then Brown decided to stay in Foster’s room at the luxurious boutique hotel ZaZa.

On Sunday morning, the ladies prepared to fly back to Atlanta. A bellman placed Foster’s bags in Brown’s rental car. Everything went down hill from there.

According to friends, Foster and Brown’s plan was to eat brunch at the Ritz Carlton hotel before leaving for the airport. But at the last minute, Brown had errands to run. So she took off on her errands with Foster’s bags in the car.

Feeling some kind of way about eating by herself on Valentine’s Day (and because Usher was in Dallas with another woman), Foster began bombarding Brown’s cell phone with text messages, basically annoying the young publicist about returning to the hotel to eat with her.

When Brown refused to return her calls or texts, Foster called Usher’s mom Jonetta and her other influential friends in Atlanta in an attempt to ruin the publicist’s good name. These people, who only heard Tameka’s side of the story, called Brown asking why she was stealing Foster’s luggage and informing her that Foster was about to call the police.

When Brown agreed to return to the hotel, Foster and a female employee of Magic Johnson’s sat in wait for her across the street from the Ritz.

A huge blow up occurred when Brown pulled into the lot. Foster — and Johnson’s employee — jumped out of their car and confronted Brown. Foster went ballistic accusing Brown of being a scam artist and a thief. At that point, Foster threatened Brown’s life — like she always does when she doesn’t get her way.

For the record, Brown’s family is far from broke. Brown left behind a career in medicine to go into the PR profession because she felt she can make a difference.

Brown’s friends speak very highly of her and feel that Foster is attempting to ruin her career. They describe her as intelligent, hard working and loyal. In addition to that, Brown agreed to take on Foster as a client when no one wanted to work with her.

Brown jumped right in helping to make a difference in Tameka’s life and building relationships in the non-profit community for her foundation, Lost Ones. Brown also helped secure national magazine interviews for Foster. It was Brown’s suggestion that Foster forgo wearing a wedding gown in the Upscale magazine photo spread because it wouldn’t help her image.

When reached for comment, Brown refused to throw Tameka under the bus. Even after all the drama, Brown still respects Foster.

Brown said of Foster:

“I look at her as being a mother first and foremost regardless of who she was married to. She has school age kids and I refuse to contribute to all of that negativity. She is a very good mother and her kids know me, they’ve been in my car. I just want everybody to watch MTV2 Sprite Step Off every Sunday at 3 p.m. That is all.” [sandrarose.com]

Now here I go on Tameka...every since she stole from the words and pages of my spiritual sister, Aisha Curry's book, Pretty For a Black Girl, and denied it I was through with that trick pony! Smh.

Holly Robinson Peete Defends John Mayer. WHO MAD?!

2010-02-16T14:54:00.005-06:00

"I seriously do not believe John Mayer is a racist. ... But by tweeting he likely wasn't racist ... and for seemingly mounting a defense for his racial insensitivities I got twitter-slapped by my peers and labeled a 'Mammie.' And after 25 years in the business that's a first for my resume."

Actress-Author Holly Robinson Peete responding to John Mayer's racially charged remarks in Playboy magazine. [USA Today]

Honestly I am really tired of hearing about what John Mayer said in his controversial Playboy interview. People can say what the heck they want to. Every Tom, Dick, and Harry are always jumping on the band wagon and getting their Polo boxers and Victoria Secrets 5 for 25 in a bunch for really nothing. Jay-Z said it best when Oprah tried to come at him sideways about using the N-word in his raps...

Oprah: When I met you a few years ago, we discussed our disagreement over the use of the N word and misogynist lyrics in rap music. Do you believe that using the N word is necessary?

Jay-Z: Nothing is necessary. It’s just become part of the way we communicate. My generation hasn’t had the same experience with that word that generations of people before us had. We weren’t so close to the pain. So in our way, we disarmed the word. We took the fire pin out of the grenade.

Now I'm not saying what John said was politically correct but d@mn find another cause to get behind that's worthy of OUR TIME AND ATTENTION.

Who You Calling A FAT Beeyotch? Star Jones VS. Erica Watson

2010-02-16T14:49:00.003-06:00

It seems Star Jones Reynolds is out to help no one, that is, if you look at her recent run-in with comedian Erica Watson. Watson, invited the former TV personality to check out her one-woman show about plus-size women, 'Fat Bitch,' but Jones Reynolds let her know she has no plans to support it and blocked her from further contact on Twitter. What began as Watson telling her she would like to give her a free ticket to check out the show led to Jones Reynolds ' private, direct message to "Please don't advertise on my timeline. I don't allow people to promote their personal endeavors. Delete or I'll have to block." Watson took to The Huffington Post to say her peace, calling her an 'evil mean bitch.' Jones Reynolds should have learned to hush up after her recent firing from 'The Insider,' alas some folks never learn. Meanwhile, Watson's show will probably get some A-list press with Sandra Bernhard confirmed to stop by and 'The View's 'Sherri Sheperd (who is genuinely charming to everyone) has also said she would check it out. Then, that "Fat Bitch" -- who's happy being plus-sized -- may totally get the last laugh. [Huffington Post]

Tiger Woods: Speaks On Affair

2009-12-02T19:02:00.003-06:00

Tiger Woods has just released the following statement on his website:

"I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.

Although I am a well-known person and have made my career as a professional athlete, I have been dismayed to realize the full extent of what tabloid scrutiny really means. For the last week, my family and I have been hounded to expose intimate details of our personal lives. The stories in particular that physical violence played any role in the car accident were utterly false and malicious. Elin has always done more to support our family and shown more grace than anyone could possibly expect.

But no matter how intense curiosity about public figures can be, there is an important and deep principle at stake which is the right to some simple, human measure of privacy. I realize there are some who don't share my view on that. But for me, the virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one's own family. Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn't have to mean public confessions.

Whatever regrets I have about letting my family down have been shared with and felt by us alone. I have given this a lot of reflection and thought and I believe that there is a point at which I must stick to that principle even though it's difficult.

I will strive to be a better person and the husband and father that my family deserves. For all of those who have supported me over the years, I offer my profound apology."

Wendy Williams: Contract Renewed!

2009-11-19T10:09:00.003-06:00

Since launching her live talk show in July, former syndicated radio jock Wendy Williams has posted double-digit gains in all key demographics.

The Debmar-Mercury media company, which produces and distributes 'The Wendy Williams Show,' announced that the FOX television network will renew the daytime talk show through 2012.

Debmar-Mercury co-president Mort Marcus credited the show's Ask Wendy advice segment , How You Doin' opening and Hop Topics entertainment headline rehash for the runaway success.

"Her substantial growth in the key rating demos, which stations care about the most, has quickly put her program within striking distance of many of today's established and successful talk shows," Marcus said.

Autopsy: Ex-fiancé of ‘Real Housewife, Kandi Burruss, died of sickle cell.

2009-11-18T19:52:00.003-06:00

The former fiancee of a cast member of the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" died from a rare trait of sickle cell anemia that became fatal because of a fight he had in the parking lot of a strip club. Still, according to a report from the Fulton County medical examiner that was provided to AJC.com, Ashley “A.J.” Jewell’s death is a homicide.

“Although Mr. Jewell died of complications of his underlying natural disease conditions, [the] complications would not have occurred if he had not experienced the extreme exertion that was part of the physical altercation,” the report said. “Due to the active involvement of another person, the manner of death is classified as a homicide.”

Jewell's family was angered by the report and plans to hold a prayer vigil at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the parking lot of the strip bar, the location of the fight that led to his death later that evening, according to a news release.

"Although the medical examiner's report released to us yesterday does classify my son’s death as homicide, the report is contradictory because it simultaneously blames a ‘sickle cell crisis’,” said the Rev. A.B. Jewell, Sr.

His mother, Purtis Jewell, said in the release, said they are unsatisfied with the investigation.

The news release said they may ask that Jewell's body be exhumed for a second autopsy.

2009-11-12T18:38:00.004-06:00

Janet Jackson aka Miss Jackson if you nasty will be sitting down for tea and cake with Good Morning America's Robin Roberts on In The Spotlight on November 18 on ABC 10/9c. From the promotional trailer it looks like it's going to be pure hotness!!!!

s!!!!

The Associated Press reports: Roberts has spent much of the past week preparing for her Jackson interview, which will be filmed at the singer's home in Malibu, Calif.

She has a difficult balancing act. Jackson is still mourning the death of her brother Michael, a story that continues to fascinate the public. But she's also a major star in her own right, with something to sell: Jackson has a greatest hits CD coming out in time for the holidays.

Roberts said she hasn't determined in advance how much of the interview would be related to Michael Jackson.

"I don't go in with a stack of questions and say three-quarters are going to be about this and one-quarter will be about that," she said. "I like to have a conversation. I like to walk away and have the person say, `I thought we were going to do an interview and we just talked."

Shaquille O'Neal's Wife, Shaunie, Filed For Legal Separation!

2009-11-10T17:13:00.009-06:00

Well love muffins I got the latest in HOOP DREAMS & DRAMA. Shaunie O'neal, the wife of NBA All-Star Shaq has filed for legal separation. Last week I posted a story referencing a little *HEAT* that hit the net hard concerning Laura Govan who is preggers by another NBA baller, Gilbert Arenas, and some very intimate like emails and or text messages between Shaq and Laura Govan. Stay with me now cause Shaunie and Laura were close friends. But, the emails and or text messages suggested Shaq and Laura to have been in some sort of relationship, which has been whispered to have spanned on and off for ummmm five or so years. I guess it's a full court press now huh?! Here is what TMZ.com is reporting...

Shaquille O'Neal's wife Shaunie has abruptly flown to Los Angeles and filed a petition for legal separation in Los Angeles County Superior Court ... and Shaq's people think it's all about money.TMZ has learned Shaunie filed legal papers yesterday in L.A., even though the couple lives in Florida. The petition says although Shaunie is filing for legal separation, she intends to file for divorce. She lists "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for separation.

We're told Shaunie pulled her kids out of school in Florida several days ago and they are with her now in L.A.

Why, you ask, would Shaunie cross the country to file in L.A.? Well, a spouse generally does a lot better in the spousal support department here in California. Shaunie is asking for both spousal and child support -- though she did not specify an amount for either.
Shaunie claims in her papers to be a resident of L.A. since November 8, 2009 -- 2 days ago.

The date of separation is listed as 11-9-09. The couple has 4 minor children. Shaunie wants legal and physical custody of all the kids.

They have been married for 6 years, 11 months.

Kobe Bryant reaches 24,000 points! NBA Fab.

2009-11-09T23:14:00.005-06:00

LOS ANGELES — Kobe Bryant scored 41 points while becoming the youngest player to reach 24,000, leading the short-handed Los Angeles Lakers to a 114-98 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night.

Ron Artest had 19 points and seven assists in the fourth straight win for the defending NBA champions, who played without injured big men Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol.

Lamar Odom managed just three points before fouling out on his 30th birthday, but Bryant carried the Lakers while reaching his latest scoring milestone 38 days before Wilt Chamberlain did. With a second-half surge, he even overtook Grizzlies guard Allen Iverson for 16th place on the NBA's career scoring list.

Iverson had eight points in 22 minutes coming off the bench in his third game with Memphis. Before the game, the 10-time All-Star said he didn't fully understand the controversy over several barbed comments he made earlier in the Grizzlies' road trip when he said he didn't want to come off the bench or be part of a rebuilding team.

Rudy Gay scored 22 points — just two in the fourth quarter — and Zach Randolph had 21 points and 15 rebounds for the Grizzlies, who are winless on a four-game road trip that ends Saturday night against the Clippers.

The Lakers opened a stretch with 14 of 16 games at home by beating Memphis for the fifth straight time overall and the fifth in a row at Staples Center.

Before punctuating his night with two beautiful fallaway jumpers in the final two minutes, Bryant became the 17th NBA player to scored 24,000 points on a second-quarter basket. At 31 years, 75 days old, Bryant needed every bit of his head start from skipping college to beat Chamberlain to the mark.

Bryant scored exactly 41 points for the third time in four games, giving him 99 career 40-point games. Bryant scored 15 points in the third quarter while the Lakers turned a halftime deficit into a 12-point lead, and he added 10 in the final period while the healthy Lakers held on.

The Buzz Around Gabourey Sidibe: Wonderfully 'Precious'

2009-11-09T22:57:00.004-06:00

"Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire" has broken some theatrical records -- and in no small thanks to newcomer lead Gabourey Sidibe.

The Sundance Festival favorite had been building massive buzz on the Web and off. New York audiences talked up the film, directed by Lee Daniels (the man behind "Monster's Ball") and produced by Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry. Opening weekend searches were coming from about two-thirds of the nation, led by Southern states.

All this has translated into a box-office record for a film opening in under 50 theaters: Playing on only 18 screens, "Precious" pulled in $1.8 million for the opening weekend. That works out to a staggering $104,025 per theater, which slips the drama into the top 15 per-theater-averages of all time.

The clamor has rippled even more online: Search numbers have leapt up 525%, putting the drama into the top 600 searches on Yahoo! in the past seven days.

Much attention has been focused on the cast, and now even more people are turning their eyes (and focusing their searches on) Sidibe -- her Web profile's up about 480%. Here's a look at the Hollywood neophyte who might be making a date with Oscar one day soon.

Odds Against
Stepping into the lead role, Sidibe had to take on some monumental tasks, besides just holding her own in a standout cast that includes mega-stars like Mo'Nique, Mariah Carey, and Lenny Kravitz.

The 26-year-old had to play an abused, obese 16-year-old convincingly. She had to be good enough to satisfy fans of a 1996 literary classic. And, she had to portray a character, Precious Jones, who weighs in at more than 300 pounds in an industry that tends to slim down its leading ladies.

Turning on the Charm...and the Talent
It turned out that Sidibe, a psychology student and receptionist, couldn't have been more perfect for the role. The New York native wasn't unfamiliar with bright lights, hanging out at the performances of her gospel-singer mom. But that hard lifestyle of constantly trying to get gigs was exactly why Sidibe aimed for a steady desk job. Her best friend convinced her to audition, and so Sidibe competed with 1,000 others testing for the part.

Personal review coming soon:) Yes, I saw the movie a month ago at a film fest!

Toni Braxton Separated From Husband, Keri Lewis.

2009-11-06T20:49:00.000-06:00

The beautiful and talented R & B diva, Toni Braxton, is legally separated from her handsome husband, Keri Lewis. The couple have two children and have been married for eight plus years. Toni has been working on her new CD as of lately. The couple seemed very much in love recently at the Soul Train Music Awards recently so the news is certainly a shock.

SHAQ! CHEATING ON WIFE! WITH GILBERT ARENAS’! FIANCE!?!

2009-11-05T23:43:00.000-06:00

Owwwwwww!!! Well red velvet cupcakes and chocolate chip muffins clutch your pearls and undo the straps on your fabulous red bottoms. Lawd have mercy. Now listen up I really ain't the one to just be posting foolishness but this gossip reads too close to one of my books. Okay already right? Now see what had happened was... According to YBF and Bossip and their snitches here is the scoop:

Another cheater bites the dust. The same credible source who hipped us to the Shaq and Shaunie O’Neal cheating/divorce drama almost two years ago has given us more juicy info. And it aint looking good for the homie Shaquille.

Said source tells YBF that they have run across emails regarding a secret sexual relationship between Shaq and Wizards baller Gilbert Arenas’ fiance Laura Govan. And Laura is actually friends with Shaunie. Drama!

Allegedly, Laura and Shaq have been friends in public…and more than friends in private…for the past 5 years. Supposedly they’ve been flying to each others’ towns and meeting up at different events. They even allegedly spent time together last Christmas when Shaq was still playing in Phoenix. Laura just so happened to be there “visiting her sister”.

Hard to believe? Yeah we thought so too. Until we were given the emails. Check them under the cut….

Laura likes to go by “Lonnie Govan” and “Lonnie G” and Shaq used multiple email addresses to correspond with her over the past months.

How crazy is it that Laura and Gilbert are about to have their third child next month and have been engaged for a while now? Those two have aired their dirty laundry in the past though and people have accused Laura of being a gold digger. So it’s not too surprising YBF finds this out now.

Ummmm hmmmmm! Okay I took a close look at the emails (screen shots) and it's pretty safe to say they were at one time in some sort of intimate relationship.

The princess of pop, Rihanna, spoke candidly on GMA this morning concerning her domestic abuse situation with Chris Brown. She appeared confident and somewhat comfortable as she expressed her embarrassment for going back to Chris after the abuse in addition to stating, "This happened to me it can happen to anyone. It happens all the time to many people, but not in public." She also mentions that people place her on an unrealistic pedestal. "I'm not perfect my selfish decision for love could result into some young girl getting killed. I didn't realize how much impact I had on these young girls." Rihanna advises that women in abusive relationships come out of the situation and look at it 3rd person because love is so blind. Rihanna will be on ABC's 20/20 tomorrow night.

Charlamagne Tha God: Tells His Story...Being Fired And Interviewing Beanie Sigel

2009-11-03T22:28:00.000-06:00

Well I guess tricks really are for kids because Jay-Z is moving silently as Beanie Siegal aka his former friend reaches high and low trying to get Jay-Z to have a conversation with him that apparently Jay simply doesn't want to have. Last week Beanie went on stage at the Powerhouse concert in Philly on behalf of Jada Kiss and totally dissed Jay-Z and yes, he was the headliner of the show. Well Beanie was escorted up out the concert *well of course* and the show continued. A day or so later. A diss record dropped via the internet. As Beanie spoke/rapped candidly to Jay. The next day Beanie did a 37 minute interview on Charlamagne Tha God's radio show. Well a few days later Charlamagne was let go from his radio show. (you do the math) I'll keep my comments and views to myself for now...

According to XXLMag.com...

Over the course of the past three days, Charlamagne Tha God has been on a rollercoaster ride. On Friday morning (October 30) the Philadelphia-based radio personality snagged an exclusive interview with Beanie Sigel, who had just dropped a scathing dis record aimed at former boss Jay-Z the night before. Based on the amount of traffic Charlamagne’s on-air exchange with Beanie got, his industry stock should have been pretty high. But earlier this morning, the outspoken jock announced via Twitter that he had been unceremoniously let go from his position at Philly’s 100.3 The Beat. Some rumors say that the Beanie interview had something to do with it, but XXLMag.com went right to the source to find out the truth.

XXLMag.com: How you feeling, man?
Charlamagne Tha God: I’m good, man. Everybody keep calling me talking about, “Are you okay? Are you aiight?” I’m like, it’s just a firing, it’s just radio. I ain’t get shot, I wasn’t in a car accident—it’s just radio. [Laughs]. That’s just the nature of the business.

XXLMag.com: On Twitter you said the station wanted to “go in a different direction.” What exactly happened?
Charlamagne: This morning, right after the show was over, the program director came in and was like, “Yo, can we talk to you.” You know how it goes down; they tell you, “Oh, we love you, we love everything you’ve done for the company but we just moving in a different direction.” No reasoning [behind it], but it’s always like that though. I will never know the real reason, but I can speculate…

XXLMag.com: You think it had something to do with the Beanie Sigel interview last week?
Charlamagne: I don’t know, that’s what I’m hearing but I don’t know how true that is. I don’t see why that woulda been an issue. I would hope that the powers that be, like Jay-Z, wouldn’t be that petty. But you never know.

XXLMag.com: This whole thing is crazy. I’m sure your ratings went through the roof after that Beanie interview.
Charlamagne: Yeah, my numbers were great. I’ve never had any disciplinary action, never been suspended, never been written up, never had any verbal warnings… As controversial as they say I am, I’m like a model employee. Any program director that’s worked with me will tell you that but that’s the way it goes in radio. That’s why you gotta treat these buildings like the Carter, man. You go in, set up shop, do what you gotta do and burn it down when it’s over.

XXLMag.com: How’d you get Beanie on the phone anyway?
Charlamagne: When I heard the dis record come out to Jay, my mind is already thinking forward motion, like everybody’s running with the dis record, playing the dis record… That’s cool, but I’m more interested in why? Let’s get to the root of the issue. Being that I’m in Philly it was a no brainer, it wasn’t nothing to reach out to get Beans on the phone and he was happy to do it, like, “Oh, word, Charlamagne, not a problem. That’s who I need to be talking to.” So he called and he just aired it out. What you heard on that phone call is exactly how it went down. I didn’t even talk on the radio for like 38 minutes I was just sitting there listening to Beans.

XXLMag.com: What’s your take on what Beans was saying about Jay?
Charlamagne: I mean it’s three sides to every story. It’s gonna be Beanie’s side, Jay-Z’s side and the truth. But I really feel what Beans was saying, even though a lot of people will say Beans was a grown man and Jay can’t hold his hand, but what’s the point of giving somebody so much opportunity if you don’t really show them what to do with that opportunity? It’s kinda like when Wendy brought me to New York, they coulda brought me up to New York and just threw me to the wolves but, nah, they guided me every step of the way and still give me guidance. …

XXLMag.com: So if what Beans is saying is true, what do you think Jay should’ve done differently?
Charlamagne: Jay-Z is an OG, man, and the Bible says the old men should counsel young men for war. There should never have been a point in time where he just stopped counseling Beanie Sigel. Yeah, you can give him a record label but what if he doesn’t know how to run a label? You can give him a clothing line but what if he doesn’t know how to run a clothing line? You can give a person a million dollars but what if they don’t know how to manage money? I think that what Beanie’s saying is very legitimate, I can understand Jay-Z’s side too, like I gave him this and I gave him that but what’s the point of giving you fish and not teaching you how to fish? I can give you fish and you can eat for a day but if I teach you how to fish you’ll eat for life. I don’t think Jay-Z taught Beanie how to fish.

XXLMag.com: Still, shouldn’t have all of this been handled behind closed doors rather than on wax or over the airwaves?
Charlamagne: Yeah, but that’s the nature of the world we live in now. The veil has been pulled off the industry, meaning that people can’t hide anymore. The truth is revealing itself more and more every day. One reason is the Internet doesn’t have any filter and another reason is because you have media personalities like myself who don’t take sides. I’m not an industry person; I’m of the people. I’ma people’s champion at the end of the day.

XXLMag.com: What do you mean by that?
Charlamagne: I do things that I know people wanna hear. I’m a fan at the end of the day so when I’m sitting down and I get a chance to interview these people I’m approaching it from a fan’s perspective. It could sound harsh but that’s the way I’m approaching it. I’m not an industry person. I’m not here to sugarcoat things. I’m not gonna tell Cassie she’s a great singer because I wanna keep a relationship with Puff. I’m not gonna say, “Beanie, no, I don’t want you on the air airing out Jay-Z because I’m worried about Jay-Z performing at my concert.” I don’t care about all that. I’m a man of the people not of the industry.—Anslem Samuel

Lil Wayne: Pleads Guilty To Attempted Gun Possession

2009-10-22T13:33:00.000-05:00

By JENNIFER PELTZ
The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Lil Wayne, who owned last year's best-selling album and is currently No. 1 on the pop charts, pleaded guilty to attempted weapon possession on Thursday, and expects to receive a one-year jail sentence.

The performer, arguably rap's most popular artist and one of pop's biggest acts, previously had pleaded not guilty to illegal gun possession charges that carried at least 3½ years in jail upon conviction. He remains free on bail while awaiting his February sentencing.

The somber-looking rapper did not speak as he left the courthouse with members of his entourage, who piled into four SUVs.

Police said a gun was found on his tour bus in Manhattan in 2007.

His trial had been due to start Jan. 20. The judge had been holding a hearing on a debated DNA profiling technique used to tie the rapper to the gun.

Lil Wayne, 27, also is scheduled for trial in Arizona on felony drug possession and weapons charges. He has pleaded not guilty in that case, which arose from a January 2008 arrest at a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint.

In New York, he politely answered the judge's standard questions with "yes, Sir" and "no, Sir" as he entered his plea to second-degree attempted weapon possession, a felony.

He acknowledged he had a .40 caliber semi-automatic loaded gun on bus.

When the judge warned that he would not be able to withdraw the plea as some people try to do, the rapper said, "I'm not one of those people."

Prosecutors said small amounts of DNA found on the loaded weapon connected it to the platinum-selling artist. Defense lawyer Stacey Richman said the gun wasn't Lil Wayne's, and the testing technique was too problematic to prove otherwise.

Kanye West: HE IS NOT DEAD

2009-10-21T02:36:00.000-05:00

Damn-it I wish they would leave yezzy the f*ck alone. I guess Twitter.com and other media outlets including foxnews.com are a buzz with horrible rumors that Kanye West has reportedly died in a car accident at 32. It is NOT true!!!!! According to necolebitchie.com here is the 411 on the foolishness.

Kanye West Is Not Dead! However, “RIP Kanye West” has managed to become a top trending topic tonight on twitter after rumors circulated that he was killed in a car accident in LA earlier today. According to the fake story, he was in a car crash involving two luxury vehicles. An LAPD officer “reportedly” witnessed the wreck and saw a red Ferrari and a white Porsche “spinning out of control. The Ferrari (driven by West) hit the curb and then collided with a pole while the Porsche sped away.” Two people were supposedly arrested and detained by police.

Who comes up with these elaborate stories. His girlfriend Amber Rose thinks that the trending topic has gone a bit too far. She writes:

"This RIP KanyeWest topic is not funny and its NOT TRUE! He has people like myself and his family that love him very much. Its in extreme poor taste to have that as a trending topic. It’s totally disrespectful to make up a story like this. We are all human and we all make mistakes and to say someone died cuz of a mistake is ridiculous. U wouldn’t want someone to say that about u. Or someone u love it’s not funny."

Kandi Burruss: Covers Kontrol Magazine

2009-10-21T02:12:00.000-05:00

Kandi Burruss as you all know was a VIP platinum toting card member on the Real Housewives/mistresses/girlfriends of Atlanta this season. She definitely added flavor to the show along with a new and fresh perspective. Kandi graces the cover of Kontrol Magazine. She will also be releasing five new songs via iTunes on October 29, 2009, which is the reunion show that taped last night in a secret location. I am looking forward to hearing Kandi's new music and I simply adore her new single "I Fly Above"!
My favorite line is: "I'm like a jet airplane and I'm way to high to hear you throwing salt on my name!"

In other Real Housewives/mistresses/girlfriends drama: Nene is rumored to be mega upset with Bravo because of how she has been betrayed the wicked witch of the ATL. I guess she choked Kim and has since been getting hood with Bravo and nem for not editing it to show why on the final episode that airs on Thursday. I'm not real sure what she expected but oh well such is life and a check is a check boo boo. Five minutes of fame is very hard to come by or run away from these days so enjoy it while it last chick-a-boo. See you later bye and of course we'll be watching for all the drama.
