Troi "Star" Torain back on the airwaves


Damn, just when I thought it was safe to listen to the radio again. Troi "Star" Torain and his bunch of hooligans are going back on air starting January 15.

The Star and Buc Wild Show was picked up by Mega Media Group as part of a format change to Pulse 87 (87.7 FM).

I remember when Star made the now infamous on-air comments about DJ Envy's 4 year old daughter. I remember getting to work and asking my coworkers did they hear what he had said. I was elated when his show was canceled. He was worst than Howard Stern in his shock value. To read more about Star go here and here.

Rodney King Shot in Face, Arm


TMZ.com is reporting that Rodney "Can't we all just get along" King was shot today.

King called Rialto police just before midnight to report the shooting. According to Sgt. Don Lewis, King was struck in the face and arm -- with what appeared to be pellets or birdshot. When police arrived at King's home, they reported that King and others inside appeared drunk. The man got shot in the face -- he deserves a drink!

King was taken to a local hospital, and his wounds were not believed to be life-threatening.

Britney Spears Stealing from A Sex Shop?!?!


I have tried to avoid posting or comenting on Britney Spears, but this is helluva ridiculous. The Britster has now been accused of stealing a wig from a Sex shop. The incident happened in the wee hours of November 18.

Sources told US Weekly that Brit Brit became annoyed when staff told her she could not try on lingerie for hygenic reasons (EWWWWW!!). Clearly frazzled, she then take off her pants in front of shocked shoppers.



"Staff employees told her they don't allow people to try on underwear.

"She looked out of it. There was nothing going on behind her eyes.

"She threw a fit and took off her underwear and tried on a pair of boy
shorts with 'Barely Legal' stitched across the rear end in the middle of the
store while 15 other customers looked on.

"The employees kept saying, 'Don't change out here!' She's just like, 'Well, I couldn't take them in the fitting room!'

"It was like dealing with a child."

Brit paid for the lingerie and stormed out, allegedly swiping the wig off a mannequin on her way.

Oprah lending hand to Obama's campaign


From cnn.com:

Political observers say Oprah Winfrey's decision to campaign with Sen. Barack Obama could help him made inroads into what many consider Sen. Hillary Clinton's natural constituency: women.


Oprah Winfrey appears with Sen. Barack and Michelle Obama during a fundraiser in September in Los Angeles.

In a move that may lead voters, particularly women, to take a second look at Obama, the talk show host will join the Democratic presidential candidate on the campaign trail December 8 and 9, Obama's campaign announced.

Winfrey will join Obama during campaign stops in the early-voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, the campaign said.

The appearances come just weeks before the crucial Iowa caucus on January 3.

"Oprah takes the idea of a celebrity endorsement to a whole new level. She's not just a superstar. She's a nova," Democratic strategist Jenny Backus told CNN.

"She's not just a Hollywood celebrity. In fact, she's really not Hollywood. She's like the voice of America. I mean, she is someone that more American women and men tune into every day." (Read More...)
Do you think Oprah will help boost/crash Obama's numbers??

Dr. Jan Adams Walks Out On Larry King


Before Larry King could rip into his a$$, Dr. Jan Adams decided to walk out on Larry. He was supposed to come out for the first segment but did not appeared until after the first commercial break.

"I want to thank you for this opportunity," Dr. Jan Adams told King. "Basically, I had come here to talk about things in the press that aren't
accurate about me.

"But I have a tremendous amount of love and respect for the West family. They asked me not to go on. And I've said from the very beginning, I don't have a side in this," Adams said.

"They are my side, and I'm going to respect their wishes. I'm going to apologize to you because I think I'm taking up your air time, but I will not be on the show and I'm not going to discuss any of that. I'm going to honor their wishes."


Later in the show, Alan Tenenbaum, an attorney for Dr. Adams, explained that Adams received a letter from attorneys representing the West family. The letter asked him not to appear on the show.





King left open the possibility that Adams could appear on the show again Wednesday.

Alicia Keys covers Entertainment Weekly


Alicia Keys is on the cover of the November 23 issue of Entertainment Weekly. In an exclusive interview with EW, she opens up about hitting rock bottom, taking control of her career and getting a life.

On her newfound independence:

"I became brutally honest. I would go straight up to people and say, 'Guess what? This is over. So what's gonna happen from now on is this: If you're feeling that, great. if not, bye.' Some people didn't like it, and they didn't like me being so clear and set on what I wanted. But I found that I took their power away. Any power anyone ever had over me is gone...I'm at the point now like, F--- it. Who gives a s---? I don't really care what you think aboout me."

On the moment she realize she had hit rock bottom:

"I discovered a lot about myself that I didn't like. I would look in the mirror and I didn't know who that person was. I didn't like my eyes; I didn't like what they said. I couldn't sleep. I was uncomfortable all the time, and irritated and frustrated."

Video: New Atlantic - Cold Hearted Town



Click here to watch New Atlantic's "Cold Hearted Town"


From Press Release:

New Atlantic is not a band to settle for anything below their exceptionally high standards. Founded by Hindley and college classmate Giovanni Gianni (vocals), New Atlantic hit the ground running with the addition of bassist Dave Carlson, guitarist Matthew Sztyk, and drummer Jacob Kalb. The band's attention to detail and work ethic is apparent in everything from their perpetual tour schedule to their flawlessly crafted songs. It's a quality that not only attracted countless labels to the band, but an invisible force that has kept their fans on the edge of their seats for every gut wrenching nightly performance.

As an independent band, New Atlantic never waited around their hometown adding friends to their MySpace profile in the hope a major label A&R would scoop them up. Instead, they took matters into their own hands touring non-stop for over a year before eventually landing a string of high profile tours with bands like Cartel and The Starting Line, all the while selling unheard of amounts of their self-released EP to a rabid national fan base. They quickly caught the attention of The Starting Line guitarist and up-and-coming manager Matt Watts and shortly thereafter welcomed Eva Alexiou from the Fata Booking Agency on board.

Rumer Mill: Houston Rapper has HIV


This is from Illseed (fromm AllHipHop.com):


I think this is pretty irresponsible of radio, but they are saying that a certain rapper from Houston has AIDS or at least the HIV virus. Now, I am not going to say who it is, but I will tell you its not Slim Thug since he sent me his HIV test once as proof that it wasn’t him. Anyway, people on the radio now have the public praying for this rapper after saying that they confirmed this news. I am not going to rock with this mess, but is crazy!

I hope this rapper is not engaging in unprotected sex and that he has contacted his previous lovers so they can get tested.

Kanye Didn't Know About Surgery; Breaks Down on Stage

Right now I am listening to WBLS and Jasmine just played a snippet for Wendy's upcoming show, in this brief snippet, Wendy tells her listeners that Dr. West did not tell Kanye about the surgery. Also, Oprah is denying that she recommend Dr. Adams to Dr. West.

WTH??

Wendy promises to tell more at 2:00 PM EST.

In other Kanye news...

Kanye preformed in Paris Saturday night for a sold out crowd of 5,000. He did a 60 minute set and tried to conclude with a dedication of “Hey Mama." Kanye got no further than saying, “this song is for my mother….” and he lost it.

Kanye retreated backstage for 15 minutes or so and came out to finish with “Stronger”. The audience was very supportive and helped create a magical moment when Kayne shouted his lyrics ‘I need you… I need you right now’ and the audience was screaming back.

Kanye’s performances are expected to be cancelled this week as he returns to the United States for his mother’s funeral in Oklahoma City on Tuesday. (Source)

Sanaa, Gabrielle, and Nia on the cover of Essence


Sanaa Lathan, Gabrielle Union, and Nia Long are featured on the December issue of Essence Magazine. You can check out a snippet of the interview they did below on being a black actress, Gossips blogs and more.

On Being In-Between Jobs As A Black Actress

Essence: What kind of year has it been for you?

Sanaa Lathan: I’m happy to have gotten a job this year. You know one of the things I decided early on in my career—especially because I only have me to take care of—is that I don’t want to do anything just for money. As a result, I can be very annoying to my agents and pass on everything. To a fault. But something came along that I’m really excited about. I’m playing a Senegalese woman, and it’s the first time that I’ll be able to do some real accent work. It’s a small, really beautiful film. Other than that, I’ve just been living my life. Living the life that you live as an actor between jobs, which is…

READ THE REST

Nia Long, Gabrielle Union: [Immense laughter]

Sanaa: You know, at this point in our careers, we’re all in our mid-thirties. There’s an art to being an actress, especially being a Black actress. And the truth is, to have persevered as long as the three of us have, you have to have some kind of philosophy about being in between work.

Essence: Because that’s so much time, right?

Sanaa: So much time.

Nia: No matter how long you’ve been in it, there is no security. So you have to really do sort of that internal work to just say I’m going to stay true to who I am, and also to have your heart open enough to be happy when other great things are happening for other people who do the same thing you do. Because that can be difficult if you’re not in the right place. I think having that helps to attract your highest good to you.

Gabrielle: That’s a tough lesson we all have to go through. It’s like, no matter how much you hate on somebody, it doesn’t change your life. I mean, you feel kind of okay in the moment as you’re dogging somebody, and then at the end of it you feel [bad] —and you still don’t have a job.

Nia: And you won’t get one because you’re putting all that negativity out there!

Sanaa: I truly believe that. And you know the thing is also, because we are artists, we feel. We have to nurture that sensitive side of ourselves, so of course we’re going to get jealous and envious. We’re human. But the key is to have the emotion, recognize it, deal with it, and move on. That’s what being an adult is. I think in life you have to work on yourself, but it’s almost like being an actress in Hollywood is double the stress.

ON GOSSIP

Essence: How do you deal with the 24-hours-a-day gossip that comes out on the Internet?

Gabrielle: Just last week somebody gave me a baby. This isn’t Perez Hilton or the White gossip people, these are women of color, specifically Black women who, for whatever reason, don’t like the company I keep.

Sanaa: She’s talking about the gossip sites.
Essence: The blogs.
Sanaa: That are run by Black women.
Gabrielle: And now because everyone is clamoring for celebrity tidbits, the bigger gossip sites and even mainstream entities are picking up on it. No fact-checking, no nothing. And in one week’s time, there were like five different dudes, a baby—I’m a homewrecker. In literally seven days. I can’t point the finger at the White media. They don’t care about us. Paparazzi are not staked out in front of any of our houses. They are not going through our garbage because they don’t care about us in that way. So when you hear crap about us, it is coming from our own community, which hurts.

Nia: We are some of the few Black actresses whose passions are rooted in our community.

Gabrielle: There is this idea that there is integrity in journalism; if it’s written it has to be true. But that’s not the case. When blogs or any of the magazines get it wrong, there’s no accountability. In the next breath, they’ll complain on the blogs that we don’t have enough Black stars. Well, you rip us to shreds every two seconds from our nose to the weave to the clothes to the shoes to the ashy ankles.

Read more from actresses Sanaa Lathan, Nia Long and Gabrielle Union on gossip, Black men, dating, the new year and fighting for roles in Hollywood in the December issue of ESSENCE on newsstands now.

Losing Zahara


Angelina may be up for a custody battle. A woman claiming to be Zahara's birth mother recently spoke to In Touch about Zahara.

24-year-old Mentewab Dawit Lebiso told the magazine, "I want my daughter to come home to see where she is from. Her grandmother and I both tried very hard to raise her, and I want her to come home to regain her identity."

Dlisted is reporting that Ms. Lebiso told In Touch that Zahara was conceived when she was raped by a stranger. After givign birth to Zahara, she left her because there was no food and she thougth Zahara was going to die.

"I thought the baby was going to die because there was no food, so I ran away."


Sorry, honey, I have no sympathy for you. My maternal instincts would not allow me to leave my child. I would starve before I let my child go without.

Pompeo, Ivery Wed in NY




From msn.com:

NEW YORK -- "Grey's Anatomy" star Ellen Pompeo promised she wouldn't have a big wedding. She kept her promise.

Pompeo, who plays Dr. Meredith Grey on ABC's hit show, tied the knot with record producer Chris Ivery last Friday in a ceremonial office at City Hall, with Mayor Michael Bloomberg as a witness.

Pompeo, 38, and Ivery became engaged last November, after dating for three years. In an interview last August, she said the couple didn't plan a big ceremony because "we want one thing to ourselves."

Bloomberg and Deputy Mayor Patti Harris were the two witnesses, and an official from the city clerk's office performed the ceremony, Bloomberg spokesman Stu Loeser said.

T.I. Speaks on Arrest, Trial

Meet Dr. Jan Adams


You may have seen him before, you may not have. His name is Dr. Jan Adams and he the plastic surgeon who operated on Kanye's mom.

TMZ.com was able to recover a lot (and I do mean a lot) of dirt about Dr. Jan Adams. Let us examine the evidence...

Exhibit A:
The Medical Board of California filed legal papers last April asking to revoke or suspend Dr. Jan Adams' medical license because he was convicted of multiple DUIs, one in 2006, another in 2003. TMZ has also uncovered one from 1994.

Exhibit B:
Two malpractice judgments against Dr. Adams from 2001. One for $217,337 and the other for $250,000.

Exhibit C:
Dr. Adams is not Board Certified with the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

This is very frightening. Please ladies (and gents) if you are considering any form of surgery, please consult a board certified surgeon and research, research, research.

Quotable Quotes: Darius McCrary on Karrine


DARIUS ON WHY KARRINE CAN BE TRANSFORMED FROM A HO TO A HOUSEWIFE: 'Karrine's not a passive girl. She's a sweetheart. She is. But she's very aggressive when it comes to her business. So she's a balanced woman. And she keeps a clean house. She keeps an incredibly clean house. Everything is in order. Her son is very well-mannered. He's a really, really fine young man. Karrine is outside of all the bullshit that people hype up about the whole 'Superhead' thing. She really is a cool chick to kick it with. She can cook. A couple of nights I was out, and I'd come back. And when I came in dinner was waiting on me; she's seriously a homemaker. She's very accommodating. Whatever arouses a man, she'll figure it out. She'll find it and she'll master that. If you're into watching dirty movies, you can sit up and watch dirty movies with her. If you're gonna turn a ho into a housewife, that's the one to get.'

DARIUS ON KARRINE'S CONTROLLING & CONNIVING WAYS: 'Karrine is a cool person. She's the kind of person you can sit up and talk to. Honestly, I think that's why a lot of dudes end up becoming her prey later on. Cause the minute you do something that she doesn't like, then your business is in the streets and then she's gonna put you on the Internet sleeping on her couch or she's gonna say some things. Karrine is like a child: When she don't get her way--and this is what I've seen firsthand--things get ugly. But I'm gonna tell you what I did, for real. I just fed her a bunch of bullshit.

Because her thing is, she can't have no man leaving her because it makes her look like she's not the 'video vixen' no more. And Karrine will do anything to keep her image. That was part of the reason why I decided to leave, because some of the things she said about me on the radio. There's a lot of things that I could say about Karrine that wouldn't make her look good. But I'm thinking about the type of person I am. And the way I was raised. The one thing I will say about Karrine that is negative that I can put out there--she admits to this--that she is a very controlling woman, and I can't be controlled. Karrine is the type of broad that, she don't want nobody telling her nothing. You almost have to kinda walk on eggshells when you're dealing with her, and I ain't no punk up in here!'

DARIUS ON KARRINE'S SELFISH WAYS: 'This is my problem with Karrine. Whenever I do something, I think about how it would affect her. She's not cognizant at all--when she says these things and does these things, like how is this gonna affect Darius? Her main thing is, 'I gotta sell books. I'mma deal with you right now because wow, you're more popular than I thought you were.' That's how she thinks. So its like one minute it's all about me and then the next minute it's Lil Wayne. And I will say this: She is really clever concerning the way she works the media.'
