ANGIE STONE TELLS ALL IN NEW BOOK!

Author: J'More  //  Category: Books, Tidbits


Angie Stone is the latest celeb to pen a book. The soul star, who’s been a major part of Hip Hop and R&B for the past 30 years is dishing the dirt in her new book, Life In The Shadows of A Sex Symbol where she writes about her moments with Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey and others. But, the one thing that’s going to have her book flying off shelves is her candid confessions about Beyonce and Jay-Z’s secret romance. Angie was Beyonce’s confidante during the time B and Jay started dating. She tells Sister 2 Sister magazine,

“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”.

If Angie was or is really Beyonce’s friend she wouldn’t be trying to cash in by putting out her business in a damn book! As B’s confidante everything she told Angie was supposed to be confidential and not to appear in the pages of her memoir! Is she wrong for this?!

THINGS THEY SAY: KIM OSORIO ON NAS & 50 CENT

Author: LexAve  //  Category: Books, Things They Say


In her new book, “Straight From the Source,” Kim Osorio is claiming to have bedded a who’s who of hip-hop stars. Check out what “Kim-O-Sorry-Hoe” (real funny Benzino) had to say about her romping sessions with Nas & 50 Cent.

The former Source editor in chief says her dalliance with Nas soured when “it was no longer acceptable to communicate via text messages.” She also says she made sweet music with 50 Cent - despite calling him a “greasy convict.” “He gave me the attention I needed,” the editrix writes. “Put your imagination to use.”

This is hilarious!…maybe I should I consider penning my hollyhood stories for a check, just a thought, just a thought. Be sure to check out Kim O’s blog.

KIM OSORIO TALKS SLEEPING WITH 50 CENT!

Author: LexAve  //  Category: Books, New Video, Rumors


Kim Osorio the newest author to dish the dirt on Hip Hop’s Bible, “The Source”, stopped by The Round Table to promote Straight From the Source. Fast forward to 2:57 the interviewer asks “Who was better: 50 Cent or Nas?” Her response: “You want a hint? Mya is there, she knows, she’s there!” WOW! I mean we all knew Mya aka “Ms. Loose Cheeks” got down…but with 50 Cent? I never knew that, no wonder The Game wanted to beat. Ain’t no fun if the homies can’t have none…WOW!

Correction: Apparently the Kim O. refers to “Maya” the female host of The Round Table. Not “Mya” the singer…even if it was “Mya” Kim O. addressed, I wouldn’t be surprised. Thanks RealShyt for catching that.

PEPA PENS ABUSIVE PAST…

Author: LexAve  //  Category: Beatdown, Books, Controversy


In Pepa’s newest book venture Let’s Talk About Pepthe sexy vixen rapstress turned celibate author details her life journey to stardom including her string of bad relationships. One specifically with a guy named “Brad” who offered quite a few beatdowns:

Her deepest scars came from a decade-long romance with a man she calls “Brad.”

During one of their apocalyptic fights, she writes, “I had the hot iron in my hand and he had a handful of my hair. He grabbed the hand with the iron in it and was pushing [it] toward my face. … He ended up pressing that hot iron against my other arm. I heard my flesh sizzling, and the smell was sickening. I started screaming from the pain. He dropped the iron and I turned to run, and his nail swiped across my eyeball and shredded my cornea.” The incident left her with deep scars and an eye patch.
The couple had another brawl at actor Omar Epps’ house, where, she says, “Brad” threw her through a glass coffee table and tried to push her down the stairs.

Clearly this “Brad” mystery guy can be none other than Naughty By Nature’s “Treach”, I mean PePa and Treach were together for over a decade. Pepa paid a visit to the Ed Lover Morning Show yesterday…check out her response when Ed asked why she didn’t address Treach by his government in the book.

LISTEN->> PEPA TALKS ABOUT TREACH!

WOW! I can’t wait to hear Treach’s response. PePa looks like the type of chick who can man-handle any dude. Why did she bother putting with the abuse, I don’t get it!

NEXT UP ON THE AUTHOR ROLLCALL…SANDY “PEPA” DENTON

Sandy “Pepa” Denton’s Let’s Talk About Pep, written with Karen Hunter, is out today from VH1:

“The very thing that got me into Salt-N-Pepa — going with the flow and doing what I was told — was the same thing that got me in a lot of bad situations. Being a chameleon or just going with whatever wasn’t good for me. It allowed me to put up with things I shouldn’t have put up with. It allowed me to be with people I should not have been with because I wasn’t able to just be myself and say no or walk away. It never let me ask, ‘What do I want out of life?’ It never allowed me to really think about me and my needs first.”

In this memoir, “Pepa” for the first time talks about her troubled childhood, surviving abuse, her first encounters with Cheryl “Salt” James, her failed marriages and her escape from domestic abuse, her “breakup” with Salt and their eventual “reunion”, her triumphant comeback on the VH1 reality shows The Surreal Life, Fame Games, and The Salt-N-Pepa Show, and more…does this include raunchy details about her & “Naughty By Nature’s” Treach? I guess not, but I hear its filled with surprising insights, outrageous anecdotes, and celebrity cameos including an introduction by Queen Latifah and an epilogue by Missy Elliott. Should be an interesting read…

DID KIM OSORIO REALLY BLOW 50 CENT?!

Author: LexAve  //  Category: Books, Rumors

For those questioning if Kim O really sucked off 50 Cent, well check out this quote from the recepient himself:

“I messed with Kim a while ago, she licked on my balls before the deal…when they weren’t worth much. She licked my balls once and now shes a star. I got some advice for all aspiring women journalists, it may not make the best sellers list, but lick my balls and you are on the road to the riches!!”

WOW! I mean the man’s right…With all the chicks in the industry ready to drop to their knees for a little $$ & shine, it’s no wonder this male-dominated industry doesn’t take real/ethical aspiring female journalists (e.g. LexAve) seriously. Sorry, but ya industry dudes can kick rocks! And as for Kim…she got down on her knees and copped $8 mil, not bad…but that’s just not for me.  Let me stop yapping about Kim O, shorty is real lawsuit happy after that source ish.

Thanks for the tip A!

NEXT UP TO DISH DIRT…KIM OSORIO

Jumping on the tell-alll confessional hip hop publishing deal band wagon is former editor in chief of The Source, Kim Osorio. Kim is currently putting down some finishing touches on the exposé documenting her experience and sexual harrasment while working for Raymond Scott Benzino and Dave Mays, the heavyweights at The Source. The book is tentatively titled Straight from the Source: An Expose from the Former Editor in Chief of the Hip-Hop Bible. You might recall in 2005 when Osorio left the position or was rather fired…she filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit claiming sexual harassment, gender discrimination, defamation, retaliatory discharge, and maintaining a hostile work environment. Though Benzino and Mays both denied the allegations, in the end Kim walked away with $8 million for having been defamed and accused of sexual encounters with rappers she interviewed like 50 Cent, Jay-Z, Kanye West. What really went down in the offices of The Source?! Kim dishes the dirt…blow by blow (AYO!)

Straight from the Source: An Expose from the Former Editor in Chief of the Hip-Hop Bible is slated to hit stores September 9th.
