Isn't Violator the how-you-doing management company? Just saying. From management down to artists - How y'all doing! And alllrrriiighht!

'Michelle Williams, Period' Unveils New 'do, Gets Frank

Singer and friend-to-the-show Michelle "That Other One" Williams unveils a new shorter, relaxed 'do in Corduroy Magazine .

Here are some excerpts from that interview:
“There is that glamour side to me, but then there is that girl who just wants to chill out at a café in Brooklyn or be in Chicago by the lake, without a sequined dress and heels on.”

“My goal isn’t to sell-out stadiums or be on the cover of magazines anymore. My dream path is just to get that loyal fan base. I don’t care if it’s a hundred million or a hundred thousand. I’d rather play an underground club where people all know your songs than perform for audiences who have no idea who you are.”

“People are naturally going to say ‘oh that’s the girl from Destiny’s Child'. That’s my foundation and I don’t think it’s ever going to go away. But now I just want to be known as Michelle Williams, period. Not ‘Michelle Williams from Destiny’s Child.’”

Blake Admits to Turning Wife Amy into a Druggie

Blake Fielder-Civil, the soon-to-bed-ex-husband of singer Amy Winehouse, is taking the first steps to coming cleans - he tells a British newspaper that he was the one who put Amy on to drugs and they will be separating.

“I introduced her to heroin, crack cocaine and self-harming. I feel more than guilty.”

Blake claims Amy asked: "him to let her try crack cocaine as she watched him taking it, cut her arms after she saw him self harm, collapsed with a seizure after an all-day drug binge, and cheated on him with her manager’s assistant'

According to Blake, Amy hit rock bottom in the summer of 2007. That was when she suffered her first seizure as a result of abusing drugs. “We had been taking drugs all day long — heroin and crack," Blake says.

“We started early and finished late. We didn’t really think to stop. We both pushed things too much. I wanted to just disappear on drugs and not remember a thing. And while I was getting out of my head, I wasn’t thinking that I was taking somebody with me.

“Then my wife, who I love with all my heart and soul, just started shaking violently in front of me.

“I started crying and I lay her down in the recovery position.

“I cleared her airways to make sure she wasn’t choking.

“But her jaw was closed tight.

“I tried to stop her from biting her tongue when she was on the floor.

"It was heartbreaking, seeing someone you love more than yourself, someone you would die for, someone you would kill for on the floor shaking.”

When Amy came round she “went hysterical and mad” not even recognizing her husband.

Blake grimaced: “I will go to my grave with that picture of Amy asking me, ‘Who are you? Who are you?’

“She didn’t know who I was. I told Amy, ‘I’m your husband’.

“I knew f***ing then that I had ruined something beautiful. It was all my fault. It was the worst thing that has ever happened to me in my life.”

As for the cutting. Blake claims that Amy was just following his lead after he began to butcher his arms.

“Amy got really upset about seeing me bleeding. And because she’s loyal and f****d up over our love — like Romeo and Juliet — she cut her arms too. I had to get her stitched up.”

So, the two will be getting a divorce.

“Now the most dignified thing I can ever do in my life is to release somebody I love from my f***ing grasp, from my clutches. When I see pictures of Amy and the state she’s in it tears my heart out. I just want to pick her up and help her. But I can’t — because I’m the man who caused it all. It scares me to death that I can’t fix Amy. But for her recovery I have to leave her alone.”

“I will never stop wanting Amy and loving her and craving her. More than anything I am addicted to Amy. I will do anything for her — and that includes walking away. If something bad happened to Amy now I would KILL myself without a question.”

He ain't said nothing but a word.

Bobby and Whitney NOT getting back together

And Whitney. Well, Whitney is doing da damn thing - she is cougartastic and dating singer Ray J.

Kim feared for life, used to be a stripper, was engaged to a married man

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. We sure did.

Now, class. Let's catch up.

"Desperate Real Housewives of Atlanta" castmate Kim Zolciak says after last week's airing of the reunion show in which NeNe and Lisa got all up in her face and almost pulled her wig off, she claims she feared for her life. She doesn't say how exactly or why? Botox seeping into her brain, again. But she told Bonnie Hunt on her talk show (the episode will air this Wednesday): "After the reunion show, I was afraid I was going to get killed so I had to invest in something that would kill them instead."

So, the not-quite-a-housewife, went out and bought a pair of Christian Louboutin spiked heels.

We doubt those heels can ward off Lisa or NeNe - even if thrown for afar.

Maybe she should have invested in something else, if she really fear for her life.

However, she tells People Magazine that she forgives NeNe for talking smack about her. (Wouldn't you. Did you see the reunion show? NeNe is no joke.)

So you’re not with Big Papa anymore. What can you tell us about him?
We were engaged. And he’s a great person. He’s still a part of my everyday life at this point. I don’t know what the future holds. I’m crazy about him. And he’s great to my girls.

There was a lot of speculation that he might be married.
He is legally married, but he’s estranged from his wife. It’s kind of like Sheree. I always give this analogy. Sheree’s been going through a divorce for three years. Sometime things take a while to move forward.

Has anyone guessed correctly?
Yes, I’ve seen his name stated on a couple of Web sites.

Any clues?
He’s not black; he’s not an athlete. He’s pretty well known across the board. If you were to mention his name, the people in his industry would know exactly who he is.

And our little Kim appeared on a episode of the since canceled 2003 TV show "Hot or Not". Here is the photo of her on the show. So in 2003 Kim would have been 25 years old. Who da heck is she kidding. This woman doesn't look 25.

BTW, she was voted Not Hot!

Now, did you know that Miss Kim, used to be a stripper? Yessssssss!!!!!

Someone who knows of her past career says, she used to dance at Cheetah Lounge in Atlanta. Her stage name was Barbie (for obvious reasons). And apparently she used to wear a nurse costume before taking it off for dollar bills.

Now you where her statement that she used to be a nurse came from.

Oh, Kim.

Publicist Admits to Manufacturing Rihanna-Beyoncè-Jay-Z Rumors

Publicist Jonathan Hay, in hopes of selling more units of his book, is coming clean, admitting in an interview that he created the rumors that Jay-Z was cheating on Beyoncè with Rihanna, all to get Rihanna noticed, her music played and to bring his producer-friend out of the shadows.

We guess Mr Lying Publicist achieved all that. Here's the interesting parts from that interview.

You are credited for breaking Rihanna out into the media. Can you please go into detail about that?
Jonathan Hay: Yes. I met Vada Nobles [the producer of Rihanna's first single, "Pon De Replay"] at a Starbucks in Orlando, Florida. I'll never forget that day. Vada told me about this young artist named Rihanna who looked similar to Beyonce and he'd just finished her first single, called "Pon De Replay." We went back to his home studio where he was working on finishing up the remix for it with Elephant Man. Honestly, the first time I heard the song I didn't think it was going to work at all because Will Smith had a song out ["Switch"] at that time with almost that exact same beat. But I was intrigued by the project, nevertheless. At first, nobody seemed to really feel the song, so I started a publicity campaign, single-handedly. The whole idea behind the campaign was to get Vada Nobles out there as a producer so that ultimately people would forget about his past lawsuit and conflict with Lauryn Hill on her album The Miseducation Of Lauyrn Hill.

Jonathan Hay: Anyway, I sent the song to Jennifer Vineyard, my contact at MTV. She did me a favor and broke the story on Rihanna, "Pon De Replay" and Vada Nobles. Along with one of my partners, I then began to fabricate stories of Rihanna and Jay-Z, leaking false rumors to tabloids, working internet message boards, etc. We started to get an insane amount of media coverage very fast. There are so many things we did that people don't even know about, not even Rihanna herself. She was completely unknown and I was paid by Vada Nobles to generate publicity. The mega Island Def Jam deal rumor, we fluffed and fabricated. Rihanna and Vada had no idea what I was doing behind the scenes, but my whole agenda was to get media for the song.

Jonathan Hay: If you check out Rihanna's Wikipedia Page for "Pon De Replay." you'll see that it was on March 17, 2005 [through MTV News] that I helped break Rihanna out into the world. There was a lot more involved but I want to save that detailed interesting chapter for the book.

What do you mean by starting Rihanna rumors?
Jonathan Hay: I mean leaking out sensational stories and spreading them around in the news -- to tabloids such as the National Enquirer, music and gossip sites and whatnot. Like when the rumor surfaced that Jay-Z had a new love life and was cheating on Beyonce...that was just to get attention. Rihanna had nothing to do with ANY of that, nor did she know what we were doing. I was just trying to break the single and stay employed by Vada Nobles. Even Vada didn't know half the stuff I was doing. I kept my strategy a secret at the time because, honestly, everyone would have been against it, the tactics that I used. But I was only thinking about the end result - and look what happened...gossip sells.

So you started that Jay-Z, Rihanna and Beyonce rumor?
Jonathan Hay: I feel awful but, yes, I leaked some of those stories. Looking back, I am ashamed of that; there was zero integrity in that maneuver. But this is entertainment and I wanted to obtain publicity - so I came up with some crazy stories and it worked. Rihanna is one of the biggest stars in the world now, and look at how she stormed into the business! Not to take anything from her - she is a great artist - but every artist needs a launching pad and there is nothing better than a good scandal to get the public's attention. (Laughing)

Ain't that the truth.

Sidebar: This sort of thing happens everyday.

Aubrey O'Day to Skank up Playboy. Kim, not so much

Do we care? Well, in case you do, she was shooting a centerfold in a NYC studio on this week with live lion cubs.

A girl needs the exposure - since she is reportedly working on her own reality show.

Well, hope no more.

Couple Has Sex in Public Restroom, as Others Watch and Cheer

A 38-year-old and 26-year-old were busted by police for having sex in the restroom at a college football game last Saturday in Iowa.

Listen, their team was losing so why not lift your spirits with some drunken-public-restroom-sex.

And while you're at it, why not make a show of it.

As they got it in, dozens of other drunk people gathered in the bathroom to laugh and cheer on the couple.

BTW - it was a man (26)  and a woman (38). We heard you asking.

For you Experience fans - here' s the drama: the woman is married and the man was at his game with his girlfriend!

Whitney's New Legal Woes

Singer Whitney "Watch What You Say" Houston has found herself at the end of a lawsuit filed by her stepmother.

According to the folks over at TMZ, Barbara Houston says she is entitled to a part of her late husband's estate $1 million insurance policy.
According to the court documents Whitney, the beneficiary of her father's estate, was to use the insurance money to pay off his apartment and then hand over the property's title and any additional monies to Barbara.

Barbara says Whitney has not turned over the title or the extra cash. Whitney says she has.

So it's She says. She says.

Word from her people is that she and ex-husband Bobby Brown are gonna give their relationship another try.

Madonna Hires Exorcist to Get Rid of Guy

Madonna is clearing the skeletons out of her closet and has hired a cleansing de-clutterer to exorcise the memories of ex-husband Guy Ritchie.

We're told: "Madonna wants a clean start. She is spending thousands of pounds on a specialist in New York to help her banish any items of clothing which may remind her of her ex. The cleanser has several techniques to invoke feelings in their customers, and base their decisions on what should go and what should stay on these reactions."

Janet Wants Another Baby

According to The National Enquirer (be quiet, it is a newspaper) Janet Jackson is taking time off from her disastrous, lackluster ticket sales Rock Witchu Tour to start a family with boyfriend Jermaine Dupri.

A source tells the Enquirer: "She's over her health problems, and he feels since the tour was less than a smash hit, it would be the perfect time to start a new project - a baby."

So, will this make baby number two for Janet?

Rumor has it that Janet already has a daughter with ex-husband James DeBarge. (The marriage lasted roughly three months and ended in annulment.) The daughter, now 21 years old, is named Renee and was raised with Rebbie, Janet's older sister.

Janet has been mum on the topic. Remember she was able to keep her marriage to Renee Elizondo a secret for almost 10 years? And we won't be surprised if she and Jermaine haven't already tied the knot.

Just saying.

Kim Cattrall Naked (in the name of art)

Actress Kim Cattrall, 52, best known for her role of Samantha on Sex and the City, has lost her clothes for a new important piece of art.

Kim, flanked by 20-something actors, sought to recreate Diana and Actaeon, painted by legendary artist Titian. Kim, of course, play the role of Diana in the recreation.

The photo was taken in hope of raising the £50million (about $65 million US) needed to keep the original painting on public display in Britain. You see, the painting's owner, The Duke of Sutherland, has vowed to sell it to the highest bidder if the National Galleries of Scotland and the National Gallery, London do not buy it from him for £50million by December 31.

Do anyone of you have that sort of cash on? We can see why the Duke wants to unload it: times are hard for everyone, financially.

Apparently one of Cynthia's friend made public this e-mail.

"My 6-foot-3, 220-pound soul-less, soon-to-be ex-husband is abandoning his kids on Thanksgiving to be with Madonna . . . She called and he ran on her command back to New York City . . . Gross!"

We don't know how we feel on this one.

Druggie Amy back in Hospital

Singer Amy Winehouse has been admitted - again - into a London hospital after a bad reaction to the medications she's taking.

Amy visted the hospital last July also from a bad reaction to her medication. Last June, she spent 10 days for treat of a "chest infection".

Are we referring to coke and heroine as medicines nowadays? Come to think of it, we've heard people use that code word before.

We kid.

It's also reported that she had a screaming match with her soon-to-be-ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil, who was recently released from prison and is now living in a drug treatment center, which Amy is paying for.

Whatever it's worth, we wish her a speedy recovery.

Wendy has called drugs the "devil" and from looking at cases like Amy and Whitney, we must agree.

Rapper Pardoned by Prez Bush

John Edward Forte, a Grammy Award-winning rapper was one of 16 persons who received a presidential pardon today.

Forte, 33, from North Brunswick, NJ, was arrested at Newark International Airport in 2000 after police found - get this - 31 pounds of liquid cocaine worth about $1.4 million in two briefcases he was carrying.

Wow! (Yes, World, Wow!)

Although he claimed he is innocent, he was sentenced to 14 years in prison at Fort Dix in New Jersey. With the pardon, his sentence will be reduced - and will be released after spending half of the 14 years.

He co-wrote and produced two song The Score, the Grammy-winning album from The Fugees. He also released two solo albums. 

Here's a track from one of Forte's 1998 album.

Nas and Kelis are not so happy to be on the news

Well, this happened down in Brazil.

We can't speak (nor understand) Portuguese, but from the looks at it, the couple is not too happy when a television news reporter seeks to ask them questions while standing in the check-in line the airport. We don't really need to know what's being said - their body actions say it all.

Do you think the reporter is asking Kelis about her sex tape with rapper Infared? Wendy already put that situation on blast - she's seen the tape. But alas, from the video it appears like either Nas, Kelis or both didn't perform at a show they were contracted to do, or something to that effect.

If you understand what's going on, leave a comment.

Michael Vick's Barbarism Revealed

A federal investigative report was released today which show the true extent of Michael Vick's involvement in the dogfighting ring, for which he was convicted.

As we know, he is currently in prison serving time on federal charges. (He will be released in July.)

However, he will receive another three year sentence tomorrow when he pleads guilty on the state charges.

According to the United States Department of Agriculture report, not only did Vick kill under-performing dogs by hanging them from a tree or drowning them in a 5-gallon bucket of water, he would place family pets and pitbulls in the ring together because he "thought it was funny to watch the pit bulls...injure or kill the other dogs."  

Jerk!

We hope pitbulls are beating up his backdoor in jail nightly.

Ahaow!

"Real Housewives of Atlanta" scandals - One is a criminal, one was sleeping around with older men at 16

Pull up a chair. Get closer to your screen. Ready?

According to a recent report, Kim, aside from dating Big Poppa, a married man and NOT being 29 years old, had an affair with a police sergeant when she was "16 or 17" years old back in Connecticut.

Scandalous!

And apparently, Kim began dating the sergeant when she was a possible witness on a case he was investigating.

Isn't that against the law? 

Sheree has had a past dealing with cops, too. However, not in the sense Kim did. According to court records she was arrested TWICE for theft in Ohio when she was 19 years old. 

Oh-oh!

Also, Kim may think she's star, but her home was assessed at $371,100 according to property records.

Plus, none of these chicks actually live in Atlanta. But we all knew that already, right?

In related news: Golddigger Kim, sugar daddies are scarce these days so you should've stuck it out with Big Poppa.

Beyoncè, er, Sasha Fierce, on set of new video

Kim will pose for Playboy, or so she thinks

Kim Zolciak, the real desperate housewife from Bravo's "The Real Housewives of Atlanta, spoke to Paper Magazine to keep her name and face in the news clear up some rumors. In that interview she dropped a bombshell -- she will pose for Playboy Magazine. Huh? Really? 

Somehow we are skeptical. It's just Kim talking out of her air head again. Oh, Kim. But then again, since she can't sing but still plans to drop an album anyway (she signed with an independent record label which is "renegotiating" her contract), showcasing your lady parts to the world, will get people to look at you and maybe buy your album.

Did you feel misrepresented at any time?

Yes, absolutely. It's for entertainment. My singing career was not an accurate portrayal of me singing. And I drink in every episode it seems. I do love wine but for God's sake! I'm a loyal friend and the way it was portrayed it didn't necessarily show that.

What's going on with Big Papa?

I called off my engagement. The big news is that we are no longer together. I tried to avoid him being on the show. He wasn't kept a secret for any other reason. He is estranged from his wife. There has been so much speculation, and it's funny to me.

How has your life changed since the show went on the air?

Oh lord. Well, I've had to get tougher skin for sure. I take everything kind of personally. I lived my life with my girls, and I no longer have that luxury. Of course you get recognized all the time, which I love. My older one reads the blogs. She's 11. I tell them just to remain true to who they are.

How are things between you, NeNe, Lisa and the rest of the ladies? The reunion looks pretty heated.

Drama drama drama. Some stuff took its toll. It's, “she said, she said.” I'm closest to Sheree at this point. I really like her. It's not exhausting to be around her. NeNe and I are working it out, and Lisa and I are not necessarily speaking at this point.

Are you really 29? Set us straight.

I'm actually 30, and [the controversy] is hilarious to me. In some of the clips there was a ton of makeup on me. In some of the footage I look like I'm 50 years old. I'm 30. I'm like a size 2. People tell me I'm so much prettier in person. TV makes you look so much different. I'm working on shooting a cover of Playboy. I guess 30 ain't that bad.

All that Botox is making her delusional. 

Fun times.

Crazy Kanye Wants to be Elvis

Crazy Kanye West is at it again.

Sure, we know it's admirable to break stereotypes and create your own lane, but listen to what he said Sunday night while accepting the American Music Award for Best Rap/Hip-Hop Album.

Update: Kanye also won the AMA for Best Rap/Hip-Hop Male artist but... (wait for it) he declined it, offering to give it to Lil Wayne, who was also nominated.

"I'm a fan of music. So, I got my opinion. I want to give this award to Wayne for this year. If it was last year, this would have been my award. This year it's Wayne's award. We'll see what happens next year."

What da hell?!?

We'll see if he keeps his well-publicized word and gives the award to Lil Wayne, who was not present at the show due to an illness, according to host Jimmy Kimmel.

Charlamagne picks up job, drops new mix-tape

Charlamagne's got a new job, y'all.

The former co-host of The Wendy Williams Experience will join Dirt Law Radio, a two-hour syndicated mix-show based in Atlanta.

Dirt Law Radio airs on FM stations throughout the states and "is unique for breaking new music in a nonstop mix and featuring both A-list celebrities and new artist interviews."

"Dirt Law Radio allows me to express my politically incorrect views and potentially dangerous rhetoric,” he says.


Today, Charlamagne released his newest mix-tape featuring a South Carolina rapper named Lil Ru. Never heard of him, but maybe you'll like it.

Lisa Raye's 'Recession Sale on Her Privates'

Rumors are that former actress Lisa Raye is dating former rapper Lloyd Banks.

Hmmmmm.... Interesting.

We let Wendy do the talking.

MAC: Hello, Kitty

This Just In: MAC Cosmetics is partnering with Hello Kitty to dole out a collection of make-up, key chains, tote bags and bracelets, which will hit store shelves in February.

There will be two separate cosmetic collections: Hello Kitty Colour Collection (for the kids) and Hello Kitty Kouture (for the kids' parents).

“MAC has been mining pop culture since the brand was founded,” said John Demsey, group president of the Estée Lauder Cos. Inc. “This is a sexy and innocent fashion line, and a true MAC moment. In these times, everyone can use a little fun — and a little Kitty.”

MAC is trying to reel in a new customer base; the advertising campaign will feature a dominatrix look and theme.

With the country in a full-blown recession, are any of you interested, aside from Wendy?

'Housewives' fans need to watch this

The Bonnie Hunt Show is trying real hard to be relevant. We, like the rest of the country, have never seen the show, much less knew it was on the air. However, we do know she had that How You Doin' Shane Mercado, a Sasha Fierce uber fan, doing his impeccable choreography to the "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)".

Now, the show is giving us another reason to watch, by parodying "The Desperate Real Housewives of Atlanta" in the below video. Bonnie Hunt plays Kim while the hilarious Niecy Nash, plays fabubitch NeNe.

We die. D. I. E.

Brandy's newest fake relationship

Rumors are swirling that singer/actor Brandy is dating Marcus Paulk, the actor who played her little brother on the TV series "Moesha".

The cynic is us say this may be a publicity ploy to sell more albums (a la Usher, 50 Cent and others). She's done this before. Remember when she told us she was married to her baby's father, NBA player Quentin Richardson? She wasn't telling the truth. He came on the The Experience and exposed that lie and threw Brandy under the bus. Did you remember they even had a fake reality show on MTV where they pretended to married?

Tsk. Tsk.

BTW - Tyrese (How You Doin') cleared up this little rumor.

He tells Usmagazine.com:

“Brandy and I have been the best of friends since we were 14 years old. She’s one of the most talented friends I have. I would never date her - it would be like dating my sister.”

Here's what Wendy had to say about all of this.

Madonna green with fashion

At last night's UNICEF bash in NYC Madonna showed up in this get-up.

Does it matter that it's Louis Vuitton?

She signed a $10 million deal with the fashion label to be the face of their Spring/ Summer 2009 campaign.

Sidebar: It's reported that a settlement has been reached in her divorce from Guy Ritchie.

Kanye wants a fashion internship

We all know rapper Kanye West loves clothes, so why wouldn't he want to work as an intern for a fashion designer? Well, he does.

That's what we learned today.

Maybe he's looking for tips on designing his line of shoes for Louis Vuitton or perhaps he's planning to launch his own fashion like (everyone else is)?

Fashionista Michelle Obama to get fashion book

Just announced today, Avon will publish "Michelle Obama Style Guide", out next print.

"Not since Jackie O have we had a first lady become a fashion icon. Michelle Obama will be one of history's most vibrant first ladies; she has a distinctive style that every American woman can aspire to, whether the consumer is a Target shopper or some one more likely to be found on Miracle Mile."

So says Avon vice president Carrie Feron.

Pam Anderson asks Obama to legalize marijuana, castrate molesters

In an open letter to president-elect Obama, friend-in-Wendy's-head Pamela Anderson, has her own suggestions of things he should work on.

Legalize marijuana:

I think we should Legalize Marijuana, tax and monitor -farm Hemp etc-this would make our borders less corrupt and then I think eventually this will be more secure option and save children in the long run – we should be able to farm Hemp in America- it’s just silly— it would create jobs- and be good for environment.

Castrate child molesters:

(There are too many people in jail that don’t need to be there-it IS a broken system- that enrages more people than it helps) - not saying that there aren’t people who need to be jailed while determining their fate- but Jail should be a holding cell for justice and not a lifelong waste of taxpayers money to run a spa for criminals-how does this improve society? Especially when there are real threats to our most precious citizens -our children- in most cases child molesters are walking free. Government must Castrate every molester-or potential molester- error on the safe side- if any child pornography is found in anyone’s possession-or anyone creating such atrocities-or if any child Is brave enough to come forward (at any young age to bring attention to a potential molester- listen) they need to be taken very seriously and see that justice is served-The abuse is way worse than any trial could be- our children need more protection and justice seen. It needs to be PREVENTED not just punished.

How to fix illegal immigration:

And if people are hard working why cant they work and pay taxes in America- if they have no criminal record- why do we have illegal immigration it should be made easier for people to work here- all they want to do is work- some Americans sure have a sense of entitlement that’s unhealthy, unwise and selfish at times…

Shut down Guantanamo Bay:

Please Shut down Guantanamo Bay-figure it out- make amends/stop torture- it’s time for peaceful solutions- and cooperation world wide sharing resources and protecting each other- education, missionary work- bring the world together help each other- with resources now- its considered a very small place- We are each other’s keeper no matter what side of the border we were born-nobody is less than.

She also suggests Obama promote vegetarianism, free Leonard Peltier, bring our troops home, and do away with private insurance companies.

We can't hate - she actually has some good ideas.

Angie Stone to write book, dishing on her famous friends

Singer Angie Stone plans to release "Life in the Shadows of a Sex Symbol", a book in which she exposes her personal relationships with Mary J Blige, Beyoncè and Mariah Carey. She also plans to divulge secrets, 'cause why else would we want to read what she has to say, right?

What's speculated to be divulged are her conversations with Beyoncè about the time she started dated Jay Z, now her husband.

“I was right there in the beginning when Beyonce started dating Jay-Z, and I was a friend and confidante to her during those times”.

"Welcome to the club Angie Stone. She is the latest contestant on The Price is Big-Mouth," Wendy says.

SMH.

eHarmony settles case, will now accept gay ads

How You Doin'!

Eric McKinley, a gay man from New Jersey, filed suit against online dating site eHarmony Inc. citing discrimination.

eHarmony's position was it catered to people seeking a long-term partner (read: marriage), but since gay marriage is illegal in most states, homosexuals' ads didn't make sense.

Shame on you.

Good news: eHarmony has settled the case and beginning in 2009 gay men and lesbians can join the dating site to find Mr/Ms Right or Mr/Ms Right Now.

Happy hunting and How You Doin'!

Beyoncè and Aretha will turn Obama's inauguration out. Who won't?

Last night, Beyoncè Mrs Carter told a magazine that she would like to attend president-elect Obama's inauguration, but what she really wants to do is sing.

Wendy co-signs, but who else should join the ticket? Or, more importantly, who shouldn't?

Aretha Franklin? Patti LaBelle? Miley Cyrus? Jennifer Hudson? Ciara? 

Listen to which "left over people" should sit their ass down on the lawn.

Dallas is NOT working with Kim

Famed record producer Dallas Austin posted the above photo and caption to his Myspace blog.

So, guess that settles it OR is he back-peddling because he was clearly working with someone who can't hold a tune? I mean, really.

Do you think they jumped off?

BTW: In case you care, Kim and her sugardaddy boyfriend, Big Poppa, have broken up.

NeNe Leakes Feels the Wrath of Wendy

We've been hyping the in-studio solo interview of NeNe, you know the bit we said that shes coming to throw her castmates under the bus. However, the "Desperate Real Housewives of Atlanta" diva didn't show up for her close-up on Tuesday, angering Wendy.

When Nicky (NeNe's publicist) called today to apologize and reschedule, Wendy was not happy and played hardball saying she'll wait for the next season of "Housewives" to talk to NeNe.

"I'm not an after-thought. I'm a fan," Wendy tells her. "She didn't even call me back and she has all my numbers."

According to Nicky, NeNe had a scheduled meeting over at People magazine.

So Nicky suggested NeNe come by or call in  Thursday.

"No. She'll learn," Wendy says. "I'm not talking to her tomorrow. No! She's gonna learn! My name is on the guest list, NeNe's isn't!... Tell NeNe we love her... Tell her thank-you and we'll see her second season."

Later, Wendy told a caller:

"OK, she stood me up. She's still got a missing tooth in the back of her mouth and at the end of the day, she's my favorite desperate housewife but I didn't say I want to be friends, either. I don't want to be friends with none of them. They just keep me entertained. I've been straight forward from the beginning so NeNe can come or not. I'll still be watching because it's still very entertaining. But really, it's only entertainment."

And later, to put the final nail in that coffin, Wendy said this:

Meanwhile, over at People magazine NeNe had this to say: 

 “Wendy Williams talks about me every single week. She sent messages to me. She said if she had to be any housewife it would be me. I’m not surprised. She has to change a few of her ways herself. We have a lot of celebrity people reaching out to us.”

Hugs all around.
