NOAH'S ARC THE MOVIE

Ok, so anybody that reads this blog(or my other one) faithfully,knows that I am like the biggest friend of gay culture since Star Jones.It's true..I have more gay male friends than I do straight female friends and it's not a problem.Not to say that I'm just lumping every gay man in a box and saying that I love them all and I'll befriend you just because we have the same taste in men.It's that fearless,funky,stylish, I don't give a fuck and yet I really do give a fuck attitude,mixed with the fact that there is no sexual pressure or competition between us.I like that in everybody.

So it should come as no surprise that one of my fave new shows is the gay themed show on MTV's LOGO channel called "Noah's Arc".Although the writing is a little choppy and the characters could use some fine tuning..it overall has the potential to be a great show.
It's marketed as a black Sex and the City and it's similar but gayer.I find the show adorable.
Wednesdays @ 10pm on LOGO.

I've decided to re-cast the show for the movie version and give it some hip hop flava.Now I'm not calling anyone of them gay..I'm just casting a movie!
AND NOW, NOAH'S ARC....THE MOVIE:

JA RULE...HOLLA

BRITNEY GIVES WEDDING ADVICE TO CHRISTINA..THE BLIND LEADING THE SLUTTY BLIND
Britney Spears has apparently sent Christina Aguilera a self help guide on marriage entitled 'How to Stay Happily Married', according to the Daily Star. This comes after they made up for their differences over the years when Christina sent Britney a gift basket for her wedding. Read more
AND SPEAKING OF AGUILERA
The Daily Mirrior reports that although Christina is only two weeks into marriage she is already planning to fill her Malibu mansion with the pitter-patter of tiny feet. "She's been saying that once the world tour she's planning for next year is over she wants to concentrate on starting a family," a source revealed. Read more."

HUSTLE AND NO FLOW..NO CASH FLOW
According to the Los Angeles Times, the film's director Craig Brewer, co-producer Stephanie Allain and actors Terrence Howard, Anthony Anderson and DJ Qualls say they are still waiting for their promised cut of the $9 million John Singleton pocketed from Paramount-MTV for distribution rights. Singleton, on the other hand, is heated over being perceived as the bad guy.

GET DICK OR DIE TRYIN'
50 Cent is looking to cash in on the various equipment used within the industry, with specific plans to release his own line of condoms and sex toys.
The rapper hopes to build upon his successful clothing line and array of energy drinks by putting his name on prophylactics and, (gasp), a vibrator.
"I need to make a motorized version of me," he tells GQ in its latest issue. "A motorized version of me will definitely have to be waterproof, so you could utilize it in the tub. A lot of them (vibrators) aren't waterproof."
"Blue is my favorite color, so it would probably be blue," he adds. "But I don't know how big. I don't know if big is better because I'm not sure a man wants his woman playing with a really big dildo. But I want to do something like that, to create something that's popular and exciting sexually for women."

MORE FIDDY NEWS
After securing a half-million dollar appearance fee for Elizabeth Brooks' bat mitzvah, The New York Daily News hears that 50 Cent performed only four or five songs - and badly - though he did manage to work in the lyric, "Go shorty, it's your bat miztvah, we gonna party like it's your bat mitzvah." A witness revealed, "Fitty and his posse smelled like an open bottle of Hennessy." Read more.

YALE SAVED JOY BRYANT'S LIFE
MODEL-turned-actress Joy Bryant, who plays 50 Cent's love interest in "Get Rich or Die Tryin,' " says her Yale education kept her from the creepy clutches of many a modelizer when she was a young catwalker. "It saved me when I went over to Paris and there were all these playboys lurking about. I was smart enough, old enough, with enough experience, to avoid them," Bryant tells Complex magazine. "Thanks to Yale, I didn't wake up butt naked in a chateau wearing handcuffs, thinking, 'Why am I here -with a headache?!'

HERE'S A GOOD REALITY SHOW...THE DIVORCEES
THE divorce of Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey will get nasty. They were so sure they'd be together forever when they wed in 2002 that they didn't sign a prenuptial agreement. Considering Simpson made the bulk of the couple's assets while they were together, dragging in a cool $35 million last year, she could be paying through the nose. The blond bombshell has hired bulldog divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, who handled Angelina Jolie's divorce from Billy Bob Thornton. According to Us Weekly, Lachey found out Simpson was going to tell the media about their split via her publicist, Rob Shuter.

STONE COLD
The New York Daily News reports Joss Stone's advisers at Sanctuary Management encouraged the 18-year-old to ditch boyfriend Beau Dozier, the 25-year-old record producer she'd been seeing for two years. "She has been convinced by those around her that to be seen partying and dating high-profile celebs is good for her career," a source explained. Read more.

YOU'RE FIRED...DUDE
Donald Trump is leaving New York to fire people on the West Coast. NBC announced Tuesday that "The Apprentice" has been picked up for a sixth season and will be shot in Southern California."Donald has so many recent West Coast projects, that it made perfect sense to change locations," the show's creator Mark Burnett said in a statement.

FOR THE AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL FANS

ON TO BIG CURRENT EVENTS...WHO WILL WIN TOP MODEL??(VIA PEOPLE MAGAZINE)
It's down to the final four on America's Next Top Model. Check out the remaining catwalk wannabes.

Let me see if I can do this like Tyra would.
I see four beautiful women in front of me,from four different cities,four different backgrounds..four different wombs.
One is a feisty little Harlem girl with the heart of gold and the razor blade in her Bible but is she too ghetto to ever really go far in this industry?
Another has the most annoying fucking voice on the planet and has that white model template face but is that commercial enough to take the cake....mmmm cake.
The other one is stunning and yeah she can drop it like it's hot....why do I always say that? But,can she drop it all to become number 1...speaking of number 1, I have to pee.
And the last...well,she won't win so it doesn't matter.

BRE,19
Why She'll Win: The Harlem, N.Y., native's photos keep getting better - check out her Mona Lisa-turned-African queen shot.
Why She Won't: Her clashes with fellow contestants - including alleged cereal-bar thief Nicole - are making her seem like an increasingly loose cannon.
Fun Fact: She listens to everything from R&B to punk and heavy metal.

NICOLE,19
Why She'll Win: The Grand Forks, N.D., native has genuine commercial appeal - her ad for Secret Platinum even ran in PEOPLE.
Why She Won't: Is she too commercial? One photographer griped she might never be more than "a catalog model."
Fun Fact: She played golf at Red River High

NIK,21
Why She'll Win: As Twiggy says, the former office coordinator is "stunning"- even when she (finally!) faces the camera straight-on
Why She Won't: She's got to build her confidence. As judge Nigel Barker reminded her, "Only you can do that. You have to believe in yourself."
Fun Fact: The Atlanta native calls herself a "daddy's girl."

JAYLA, 20
Why She'll Win: As Nigel says, the self-proclaimed "horrible example of a Jehovah's Witness" is "definitely a model."
Why She Won't: The judges harp on her lack of range - Tyra even said her Wild Boyz photo made her look like a "blow-up doll."
Fun Fact: The Tucson, Ariz., native has her lip and septum pierced.

ALICIA Keys is extremely guarded about her private life - so much so that that some have wrongly concluded that the songbird is not interested in men. But they'd be wrong.

The two have even formed their own production company, Krucial Keys, and sources say "they are so in love." Keys' rep declined comment.

"We all had a good Thanksgiving, all the family was together and we had a wonderful time. We didn't even talk about Jessica's breakup from Nick; it wasn't something we wanted to dwell on. Jessica's happy and she's absolutely fine. The only thing that stressed Jessica out was our grandparents' worry over all the attention she's getting. Jessica spent most of the holidays trying to reassure them that she's OK and that everything is good." Read more.

HUSTLE AND GO
Terrence Howard has reportedly joined Morris Chestnut on Splitsville Lane. The New York Post is reporting that the “Hustle & Flow” actor has left his wife of 14 years after she revealed her love for an old high school sweetheart.
Howard has reportedly been dating Dayanara Torres Delgado, the ex-wife of J.Lo’s husband, Marc Anthony. The Latin singer walked down the aisle with Lopez only four days after his divorce from Delgado.
During a break at the recent Diversification Awards in Hollywood, Howard was spotted by Post spies outside of the Beverly Hills Hotel phoning Delgado to warn her that he had spilled the beans on their relationship during red carpet interviews.
"I just told a television reporter about us. I told the whole story. I love you!" he reportedly said.
According to the Post, the “whole story” is that Howard and had a relatively amicable split four months before the actor met Delgado.
Terrence felt compelled to tell all because he and Dayanara had been dating in secret, and he saw absolutely no reason for that.
"She went through so much over Marc Anthony. I don't want her to have to have a secret," he said.
Last week, reports surfaced that Chestnut and his wife Pam had separated. The couple has two children.

NICK AND JESSICA ARE OVER...YOU DID IT MTV

After months of denying rumors their marriage had gone south, the couple yesterday confirmed to Us Weekly that they had separated.

"After three years of marriage, and careful thought and consideration, we have decided to part ways," they told the magazine in a joint statement.
"This is the mutual decision of two people with an enormous amount of respect and admiration for each other. We hope that you respect our privacy during this difficult time."
The totally telegenic couple tied the knot in Austin, Tex., in October 2002 in front of 250 guests.

Lachey got his start with the boy band 98 Degrees, while Simpson was a budding pop starlet when they wed. The duo became international celebrities by televising their first years of marriage on MTV's "Newlyweds.
Though the show was wildly successful and the duo reaped newfound fame, Simpson did a bit better with it.

She released an album that earned $35 million last year and landed a starring role as short short-wearing Daisy Duke in the big-screen version of "The Dukes of Hazzard." Lachey's solo debut, meanwhile, sold a mere 105,000 copies.

A man has sued the producers and sponsors of the cable reality show "Project Runway," charging that the Emmy-nominated series is based on a script of his that was rejected two years ago.
Joel Lamontagne, who filed the lawsuit Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, claims he pitched a show called "America's Fashion Designer Search" to producer Tony Yates at Project Greenlight in February 2003. Ultimately, he was told the company was too busy to proceed.
"We think they took this idea, promoted it and it's been a big success," said Ivan Schwartz, Lamontagne's lawyer.
Requests for comment from Greenlight went unanswered Wednesday.

HERE'S THE STORY OF A MAN NAMED BRADY...

What would one do with a prize standing 8 feet tall, including a skirt 5 feet wide? "It's as big as a house," Mackie joked. "You could fit a family of four under there." Darren Julien, of Julien's Auctions, who co-presented the sale with Christie's, quipped, "You could use it in lieu of a Christmas tree. The crown could be the star."

BUSTA RHYMES CUTS HIS DREADS IN A COMEBACK ATTEMPT

Busta Rhymes looked a little funny sitting in a barber chair recently in New York, it was for good reason — he's not used to getting a full-blown haircut. Obviously Busta has gotten his hairline edged up over the past 16 years, but since coming into the music industry, his long dreads have been as much a part of his persona as have his growls, colorful outfits and unorthodox rhyme flows. But Busta has chosen to shed his locks, and actually cut most of his hair off. "I started growing these sh--s in December '89. I was 17. I signed my [record] deal and said I ain't combing my hair no more. I don't have to," he said. Busta isn't totally bald, though — he's rocking a dark Caesar hairstyle. You'll get to see Busta and his new 'do in his video for "Touch It" in just a couple of weeks. "My head isn't ugly, is it?" he asked with a smile after his cut. ... (VIEW CUTTING HERE)

Last month, Doherty, 26, admitted Moss wanted him in rehab. "Maybe she just wants me to go through it because she's been through it," Doherty says. "It's the only time I'll have [bleeping] voluntarily gone into rehab." Meanwhile, Moss continues her catwalk comeback. She's reportedly in talks to star in an ad campaign for Virgin Mobile.

A FEW DATING STORIES

I've asked readers to send in several of their dating stories and the response was great.Many of you around the world experience similar good,bad,and ugly experiences.
Dating is not easy,being single is a double edged sword...one minute you are happy to be free and without the weight of commitment and the next,you realize that it's just you in that big ass house.But let's not foget,the greatest part of any success was the journey it took to get there.

As I begin to wrap up Single Sexy and So What Week, I hope that many of you realized that being single is not the end of the world,having time to work on you and getting to know yourself and being selfish for once is a great thing...it makes finding that special person that much more sweeter.
So here is an edited list of some of your dating stories that was e-mailed to me...thanks everybody that participated and although I would have loved to put them all I just couldn't:

1-I went with a guy to our town's fair and he met another girl while I was in the bathroom and he left with her.

2-"Tim" seemed just fine online. He contacted me first, with an eloquent and sincere email.We had some pretty good AIM conversations, AND we clicked over the phone , as well. He arranged something pretty impressive for the first date. He said he would pick me up (yes, I learned my lesson!) and take me to an Italian restaurant, and then to a club. I thought it sounded wonderful and could not wait.
Date night rolls around. He shows up in his souped-up Camaro. He steps out. Here is the only good part: his pictures did not do him justice. He was gorgeous. The first man I met off the 'net who was a complete hunk, for lack of a better word.

At dinner, he asked me inappropriate questions such as if I would sleep with another woman for money. At that point, I would have slept with ROSIE O' DONNELL to simply get me away from HIM! The rest of the night involved wreckless driving, awkward silences,awful music, and his high school-ish antics...such as "punching" my arm. At one point, he turned one of his songs especially loud while announcing, "listen! this one's about DATE RAPE! Probably not the best song to be playing now, huh? Ha!".He insisted on driving through a Wendy's, where he told me he stopped all the time "when he gets the munchies after getting stoned". A charmer!

3-Married forty years; widowed three months, I went online, on the night of what would have been 'our' 41st wedding anniversay....searching for companionship...."Friendship First" was the specification,from 'there,' whatever! The first and only "picture and profile" to appear when my 'mouse' clicked into Yahoo Personals "local males in Charleston, S.C." was a man with the nickname of "Wolf" a handsome man twenty-four years my junior.

"Wolf" and I Im-ed for two hours, the entire time professing great interest in our meeting. I was hesitant; caught-up in the 'age thing;' feeling 'strange'to do-so. "Wolf" assured me NOT to concern myself with such nonsense;he was 'fine with it,' thus proceeding to IM me 'personal references,' proving he was ALL he said he was and MORE! he WAS/IS an 'o.k. guy.' Living only two miles apart, we agreed to meet mid-way for breakfast.To say there was "mutual chemistry" there would be putting it mildly, scary as it was, there was definitly MORE than just "physical attraction!"

At the time of our first get-together, I thought of "Wolf" as a man I could truly care for. I was NOT looking upon him as a son, I had/have two, just about a year or two older than he; "Wolf" was/is NOT looking for a "mom," his lives a mile from my/our apartment; I have NEVER, nor do I NOW financially support him, he is very generous towards me and my wants and needs; he's an excellent provider, though MOST of all a warm, loving, compassionate man whom I absolutely love,idolize,admire and adore!
Against my four children's wishes (they ALL attended the same high school,at the same time hence the "objection") "Wolf" and I married sixteen months to the day of our first meeting. NEVER in OUR ENTIRE lives has either one of us EVER been HAPPIER and we owe it all to Yahoo personals!

4-Out of sheer boredom, I placed a personal ad. Hilarity ensued in the form of many f*cked up responses (including numerous ones from girls who didn't quite grasp that I'm GAY and thus not looking for a girl...or perhaps they thought they were so incredibly hot that I'd switch teams).
About a month after placing the ad,I finally recieved one that seemed ok.He was definitely my type and was looking for the same things.When we met up after about a month,I was pleased to see that I found him(and he I) very attractive and he was as fabulous as our conversations.
We've been together for 3.5 years and had a civil union a few months ago.

5-I had a date with this guy one time, he was nice, the sex was great, but when we were picking our clothes up to get dressed, I discovered that he wore prettier panties than I did.

6- I have been with this man for the past three years. He works for the largest cable company in Phx. This man neglected to tell me about all of his kids until we were living together. I thought he had 3 boy oh no, he has 9 kids. The youngest is only 3. Anyway, I have found out via emails that this man has been cheating on me the entire time. He is listed on several internet dating sites, drives a 47 chevy and tells women his last translates to "love". He is behind in child support to one wife. He uses the women he meets on his "house calls" for sex and money.

7- I met a guy on line who was a comedian from a large Midwestern city. We chatted for several weeks on line and on the phone and got along fine. One day he encouraged me to get a web cam. I thought they were expensive, but he told me I could get one for $20, so I did. He had one as well.
One day, while we were on the cams together, I got a phone call. I was still at my desk while I took the call so I could see him while I talked. Evidently he forgot that he was on the cam because while I was slightly diverted (but not totally) he got a call on his cell phone and although he moved from in front of the cam I heard everything he was saying.He was making a date with some girl for a quickie.So when he came back into view I pretended my phone rang and moved from view and recited the same conversation he had.Then I stuck up my middle finger and unplugged the cam and never spoke to him again.

8-I met a guy on a chatline to meet black masculine men and I connected with a brotha that was hella cool.2 hours later we were supposed to meet up and it turned out that he not only lied about his description,what he'd be wearing and his car,but he was a fat white guy trying to talk black.I swore I was on punk'd.

MY BLIND DATE PART 2

Well when I last left off,my experimental date,Leron, got to the restaurant almost an hour and 1/2 late and with his uninvited cousin.(To the Heiress Diaries readers...I was not calling a chatline looking for love..I wanted to experience an online or chatline date for myself before I wrote about it.)

So I tell Leron to come in and have the maitre'd bring him to the table.15 minutes later,Leron comes in with his cousin.Before I get to their descriptions...I was sitting there wondering why the hell did it take them 15 minutes to come inside if they were outside the restaurant.
Leron was very,very attractive.Tall,brown,nice lips,gorgeous eyes,dreads,and as I saw him give his coat to coat check I saw that he had a nice body through his fitted sweater under his blazer.His shoes were very Kenneth Cole like and he had fake studs in his ears but he was attractive so it didn't matter.He walked in with his cousin...A DISASTER.He wore sweatpants to Cipriani..OMG! Not only was he severely overweight but he was sweating like crazy.He was short and he had on too much cologne.I didn't look down at his feet so I have no idea the shoes he had on.

My friend Gary was kicking me under the table as his date was snickering.I smiled and was very cordial.I told Leron"me and my friends should leave for you guys bein so damn late".
Leron smiled...one of his 2 front teeth were gone...gone...nothing..not a gold tooth,yellow tooth,not even a borrowed tooth or Chicklet.Well,the purpose of this date was to try online dating and not to look for love so it was cool.Leron told me some bullshit about his phone and getting lost and whatever.I told him that we already ate most of our dinner and if he wanted to order something he should hurry because I was tired.
Then his cousin says,"tired from what? Was'nt yall just sitting here?"
I rolled my eyes and then the cousin said as he sat his fat ass down"Since Leron told me that there was a mix up with the date you should choose between us...cuz I'm feeling you too ma."
He was ferocious.Gary laughed out loud which made his date Eddie laugh out loud.Then Eddie says..we're not laughing at yall we're laughing at the situation.

I said "why don't we all just sit here and eat".Leron waited for the busboy to bring him a chair and then he sat next to me with his cousin on the other side of me.So Gary starts talking about Naomi on Tyra's show which led us talking about Top Model which led to talking about our fave models of all time which led to Leron saying "can we talk about something that's not gay?"

Why'd he say that? Eddie said "No,because I'm gay" and then Gary wanting to act up also said"You too girl?" And they started laughing.I was smiling and trying not to laugh.So then the fat cousin says "you like gay boys?"..I said "No, I like gay MEN."
So then the cousin says"I ain't mean no disrespect,you like who you like, fuck who you fuck. I just wanted to know why girls always be around gay dudes that don't want them?It's a waste..and you fine" I just mouthed the words "thank you" and continued eating as both Leron and his cousin "Hustle" argued about the fact that Cipriani's didn't have anything simple like spaghetti or pizza.

Hustle recognized the word fried and ordered calamari.Leron ordered like a curried shrimp.For drinks I had 2 chocolate martinis,Leron and his cousin had Courvoisier and I forget what Gary had but Eddie had a Pepper Martini.

The conversation was fun at times and ignorant at others.Things got fun when we started talking about video games(which I love) and movies.We talked about music,music videos,and then jobs.
Leron works at a Post Office and his cousin Hustle is a "hustler".So after I paid the bill($300 or something like that) Hustle says "damn L,we got a rich girl". I got up and went to the ladies lounge and called Gary and said for him and Eddie to meet me outside becuase I was done with Leron and Klump.I got my coat from coat check and snuck outside.
Eddie came out first and 2 minutes later Gary,we caught a cab and laughed about the whole night.We then went to Gary's house in the Village and we watched Showgirls on his huge plasma and snuggled under Gary's faux mink throw on his bed.

That's my life..no matter who I start off with I always end up in the bed with a gay man or 2.
my overall impression of online/chatline dating is..as long as you're careful,and know what you're looking for,and remember to be respectful,safe and fun..I guess it's cool.I will never do it again but it's not as bad as I imagined it would be.

GUYS' 10 SECRET DATING RULES

This post's topic is about the secret dating rules that a lot of men use.I got it from askmen.com.
Now as much as I despise games,I am not ignorant to the fact the "dating games" do exist and sometimes it's play or be played.Having the knowledge of the games gives you an upper hand.Some of these games are so stupid and utterly hilarious because not only have I fall victim to some but a lot of my girls too.
Here are a few of those games and my commentary written in parenthesis((...))

5. Wait three days before calling back
The idea behind this dating rule of thumb is to make sure that your new squeeze doesn't think you're desperate to see her. And it's become a golden rule because it often works. Many women know the dating game, and want to see if their new man can play it. Prove that you can by keeping it cool, and resisting the urge to follow up on a meeting too promptly. Just make sure not to wait longer than a few days to call back, or she may cool off entirely.
((Hello...a call the next day shows a woman that you are interested.The longer you wait the more the woman thinks she wasted her time giving you the number.Just don't call right away call the next day,just to say hi))

4. Take her where everyone knows your name
Another way to impress your new woman early in the game is to go somewhere where you already have a great reputation. By taking her to one of your usual haunts, you'll get to showcase your smooth self in action among your vast circle of acquaintances. Whether it's a simple greeting from a DJ at the club or a restaurant manager who hooks you up with the best table, a display of social clout will definitely make an impact on your date. It's a surefire way to let her know that she's caught herself a real man.
((Some girls(like me) are not impressed by that.Although if you know the chef or the owner of the club that's surefire nookie..lol.But knowing the d.j. or the people at a bar shows that your ass is there too much))

3. Resist sleeping with her early on
Aside from the fact that withholding yourself will keep her wanting you more, adhering to this rule also shows her that you're a man who isn't ruled by his loins. Don't hold back entirely, though; kiss her passionately as if you were going to have sex, then pull away. Doing so will heighten the sexual tension and will be a huge turn-on for her. And when you finally do decide to do the deed, your patience and self-control will end up paying huge dividends in the bedroom.
((Excuse me...but here's a secret fellas.WE control when the sex happens.Deny us and it may be your last to try us))

2. Limit your spending
One of the best ways to know if she's a keeper is to find out how much money she expects you to spend on her. On early dates, take her to places where you don't have to spend much, such as a coffee shop, lounge or boardwalk. This will give you a chance to figure out whether she's all about you... or your wallet. Mind you, don't cheap out completely, or she'll just think you're a bum.
((WHAT???...Spending money on a nice restaurant shows a girl that she's special.Although some women may think you're trying too hard or that you're expecting something.))

1.. Don't flatter her too much
While it's true that you will have to do some flattering in your initial flirtations, keep it toned down. The worst thing you can do is lay on the compliments too thick at the beginning. Rather than inflating her head, see if she can enjoy your company and conversation without an accompanying ego massage.
((This is sooo wrong.We should be complimented at least 2x an hour,it shows that not only that you're paying us attention but that you're interested in us and find us pretty.Women are constantly scrutinizing ourselves and situations,so by you telling us we're pretty,sexy,or interesting we feel assured and more comfortable and when we're assured and comfortable...foreplay can't be too far behind))

GAY DATING TIPS

You guys know that I'm more gay friendly than a rainbow thong on a man that's just had a bikini wax after performing drag as Judy Garland the day of his Tony Awards Party the year he was nominated for playing Queen Elizabeth in an all male version of the play with costumes by Heatherette and starring Ricky Martin who beat out Clay Aiken for the part written by Eddie Murphy co-written by Terry McMillan's ex and directed by Star Jones' hubby Al and music by Elton John((deep breath)).
Therefore it should come as no shock to you that I include gay tips also..my gay friends need dating advice too.

((Via Spotmeet.com))
Dating is one of those great life experiences that we all go through. If you are a man interested in dating another gay man, there are going to be plenty of others interested in exactly the same thing. Here are a few good dating advice tips to learn ways to do it right - and to avoid the ways of doing it wrong.

1. Find other gay men
This is part of your challenge. Most straight dating environments - bars and clubs for example - are not necessarily geared for meeting someone gay. There are other gay establishments - bars, restaurants, and clubs. This is a situation where online dating comes in handy. Use one, or more, online dating services to find other gay singles. It will be private and will give you the opportunity to explore your feelings as well.

2. Have an idea of what kind of relationship you are looking for
When you decide to date, spend some time making sure you know what you are looking for. Be honest with yourself and know what will make you happy. Are you looking for a casual encounter? A longer term commitment? Or maybe even marriage? Okay, that only works in Massachusetts. At the same time, be flexible. The dating world is unpredictable, but that can be part of the fun. Enjoy what comes your way.

3. Know yourself
One of the best top Gay dating tips is to spend some time getting to know yourself better. Think of how you would like others that you might be interested in to see you. If you know that you are a fun and positive person, keep reminding yourself of that, so it shows through to others. You are probably looking for the same in men you want to date.

4. Feel good about yourself
Dating can be a tough process. You need to be prepared by feeling good about yourself. If there are things you would like to change about yourself, now is the time. Join the gym, learn a new language, start eating better - anything that will make you feel good about yourself. This will give you the confidence to show yourself off in the best light, and to be able to deal with any rejection that comes along.

5. Have fun
The most important thing to remember is to have fun! Searching for the right guy can be a fantastic experience, filled with anxiety and emotion and even drama. But if you approach it with a positive attitude and think of the hunt as being as much fun as the catch, you will have a better time. Make it easy for yourself by setting your mind to the fact that this is something fun.

6. Be a good communicator
Communication is the name of the game here. Visual, verbal, and subtle communication is what it takes. Be consistent and honest with the other guy. You will always find men that are playing games, but you are smart enough to see through that sooner or later. Ask questions and be a good listener. Use all types of communication: the phone, a written note, an email - whatever comes to mind. All of this will show your interest in the other person.

7. Don't go it alone
While you are the one doing the dating, there are ways to have support to help you along the way. Get your friends involved; let them know what you are up to. They will support you and will provide you an opportunity to talk. Surround yourself with people you respect and listen to what they have to say. This is particularly important if you are inexperienced in the dating world.

8. Follow your heart
When you are dating, listen to your mind, but follow your heart. Keep in tune with what your intuition is telling you about the other person. Is it love at first sight? Stranger things have happened.

9. Be creative
Do something unexpected. Be impulsive and see what happens. Don't be afraid to make mistakes and learn from the experience. If the other person is the right one, they will appreciate your creativity. And if they aren't, you just might have fun anyway. Being creative is even more important if you are looking for a longer term relationship, as you don't want things to become routine and uninteresting - for you or for the other man.

10. Be prepared to spend
To have a successful dating experience resulting in a relationship, you will need to spend time, money, and effort. Nothing is free in the dating world. It will take some time. Most people who date want something to happen immediately, but we have all found out that doesn't happen. You have to spend money to find the right person and spend money to make yourself ready, so don't let the expense get you down. And most importantly, be ready to work hard to get what you want.

11. Be safe
Be safe, in all senses of the word. When you are making initial contact with someone new, do it in a public place. Make sure you know as much as you can about the other person before you provide any personal information, such as your phone number, or where you live. Don't take chances and use common sense. If you feel like the other person is being too mysterious, then it is time to move on.

12. Leave when you need to
No list of best dating tips would be complete without reminding you to know when it is time to leave. Don't be afraid that you are losing your only chance to be with another man. There are going to be others. Don't settle for something that isn't right for you. You deserve better than that. Breaking up is never fun, but we all know that we recover. And if you aren't the one initiating the breakup, remember that this is part of the experience as well. Rejection is tough, but keep in mind of what might be next - it could be even better!

MY BLIND DATE TONIGHT

I went on a double date tonight with my best girlfriend...Gary.For a little experiment he went on a site called adam 4 adam and I took my chance with a telephone chatline.I thought this would be different because:
1-I've never used a service of any kind to get a date.
2-I don't usually date OJ's (Ordinary Joe's).Sorry,well not really sorry but it sounded less stank than I don't date OJ's.

It took my friend Gary no more than 20 minutes to find him a guy for my little experiment. His already made profile (which he claims was an old one he never uses) has 2 pictures of him, a cute face shot and a pic with him with no shirt on.His stats were accurate and he said that he was looking for a masculine guy in NYC looking to have a good time,no sex.He got instant messages from all types of guys...but he settled on a cute Latino from Brooklyn.
Gary looks like a really handsome football player but not as bulky,he's really smart and could talk about anything,he's a great catch and like myself he's a serial dater.

I on the other hand used a chat phone line to use as my guinea pig.There must have been about 50 or more guys talking in the same "thuggish" voice,with outgoing messages saying how they looked and what they wanted.

After about 1/2 an hour I finally found a guy that was willing to meet for a double date,after I expressed that I'd be paying(since he didn't get his check yet)I would never date a guy that only gets 1 check..and to have to wait for it?Where is his savings or credit cards?Why was he looking for a date?...sad.
Well he wanted me to send him a pic via my cell phone,even though I didn't want to I let Gary take my pic on his phone and he sent it.Leron(his real name) sent me back his pic...alright looking...light brown,dreads,almond eyed,full lips and a goatee.

So since I was paying I figured we would do dinner at one of my fave places...Cipriani 42nd Street.A little pricey for some but I just had this taste for Italian and Cipriani is one of the best.Leron said that he also loves Italian and I told him that he might have to dress up a little(I'm not sure if there was a dress code but he wouldn't feel comfortable in jeans if everybody was in suits)
On any given night you could see Beyonce and Jay-Z or Mary J.,Diddy,I saw Jessica Simpson there the last time I went(she was with her father and another guy that I think was interviewing her).

The reservations were for 7pm and as me and Gary got out the cab to wait inside for our dates,I started to get a little nervous.Not really nervous...sweeties I'm gorgeous and I was paying.I was more anxious.I was dressed really simple and classy.I wore a DKNY black empire waist dress, my fave diamond hoop earrings,my grayish silver YSL clutch and black Donna Karan stilettos with 2 large diamond like stones on the straps.

The latino,Edwin,or eddie he said to call him,got there first.Dressed kind of casual but appropriate.Very Banana Republic.He was cuter in person than on the internet.He had on a little too much cologne but his perfect teeth made up for any small flaws I could find...Gary was fucking pleased.I started to get even more anxious because Gary and Eddie instantly hit it off talking about fashion and Colombia(where Eddie is from)...8pm and in walked perfection..not my date Leron.It was Susan Lucci...love her,met her a few times at a charity we both belong to(and you guys thought I was just a gossiping fabulous chica from NYC,I am but I'm so much more.The readers of my other blog know this)
Susan Lucci of course did not remember me but pretended she did..but her dress was beautiful and the shoes were fab.

8:15 and I was still getting Leron's voicemail..we decided to order hors d'oeuvres and drinks.i had the grilled shrimp on skewers and some of Gary's baby artichokes alla romana...delicious!!
8:25 and I get a phone call..it was Leron,we're here.I said who's we? He said he brought his cousin since it was a double date.I informed him that the other dates were made already and all he said was oh.So now we were about to have my gay friend Gary,his date Eddie,my fabulous ass,Leron,and his cousin.
Find out how this shit ends on Friday...it was an experience.

PICK UP LINES...

I consider myself queen of shutting down a guy with a lame pick up line.I can spot game a mile away and if I'm not feeling it,the man will find out.
Men have called me a bitch,but the truth is I like to approached like a lady.
Here are a few pick up lines that I've heard and a few I've gotten elsewhere and my responses and hypothetical responses to them:

Line-What race are you?

Me- The NYC Marathon(Then I ran....lol)

Line- "How do you like your eggs in the morning"
Me- Unfertilized.

Line-Is this seat empty?
Me-Yes, and this one will be if you sit down.

Line-Hey baby, whats your sign?
Me-DO NOT ENTER (or maybe) PROCEED WITH CAUTION

Line-Your place or mine?
Me-Both..you go to your place and I'll go to mine honey.

Line- Haven't I seen you some place before?
Me-Yes darling, and that's why I stopped going there.

Line-Baby I'm like an American Express Card...you shouldn't go home without me.
Me- Yeah and I bet your limit is small.

Line- Do you spit or swallow?
Me- (take a sip of drink and spit it at him) I spit

Line-I wonder what our children will look like.
Me- Jesus...because there is no way we're having sex.

KIRSTEN DRUNKST...FINDS NEW DRINKING BUDDY
FRIENDS of Kirsten Dunst are concerned. The once wholesome "Spider-Man" girlfriend has become a wobbly staple on the Hollywood club scene, and is now hanging out with the star synonymous with pushing the party envelope: Tara Reid. The two showed up together at club promoter Brent Bolthouse's party at L.A.'s Privilege, a week after Dunst hooked up at the same club with Leonardo DiCaprio. And some Web sites are now calling her "Kirsten Drunkst."

ANGELA BASSETT BATTLES ASH SO WE DON'T HAVE TO
Olay has announced that Angela Bassett will star in a national television and print campaign to promote its new lotion product designed specifically for African American women.
Olay's Quench Body Lotion, made with shea butter formula and an exclusive amino-vitamin formula to get at that ash, purports to eliminate the need for constant reapplication.

CHRIS TUCKER GET 20 MILLION DOLLARS FOR RUSH HOUR 3
It took an offer of $20 million against 20% of the gross to get Tucker to sign on. Under the deal, the actor has also agreed to give up script approval, which was a major obstacle in previous negotiations. According to Daily Variety, Tucker agreed to let go of script approval on the condition that the final draft matches what was pitched by returning screenwriter Jeff Nathanson.
Tucker's co-star, Jackie Chan, will get $15 million against 15% of the gross, and will also own the film's distribution rights in China and Hong Kong.
Brett Ratner also returns as director, fresh from helming "X-Men 3." He'll get an increase in the upfront part of the $5 million-against-5%-gross deal he pocketed for "Rush Hour 2."
New Line has the option to greenlight the film by May, based on script approval and a budget the studio hopes won't exceed $120 million. The film will go into production next summer in the U.S. and Paris for a summer 2007 release.

MARY J. BLIGE DOES NOT LIKE CHRISTINA AGUILERA
Mary J. Blige has vowed to never record a song with Christina Aguilera because she feels that she is "rude". Recalling their first meeting, Mary said that upon greeting each other, Aguilera extended her hand to Mary as though she wanted her to kiss it, which was taken as an extreme insult by Blige. Listen to a clip of Blige's remarks from Gossipish.com.

SPEAKING OF THE DIRRTY GIRL..CHRISTINA,NOT MARY
You had to figure Christina Aguilera's nuptials would get a little "Dirrty."
I hear her HUSBAND, Jordan Bratman, made it clear at their Napa Valley wedding last weekend that he was more than qualified to satisfy the bride.
Guests at Friday's rehearsal dinner nearly choked on their sushi when Bratman raised his glass and thanked his parents for "my good looks and large COCK."
Jordan's brother and best man, Josh, and his father, Jack, both stood up and proudly corroborated the groom's endowment. Another bride might have wished that her future in-laws would speak a little less and hold their peace. But, whenever the subject of Jordan's manhood arose, "Christina would just smile and nod," a spy tells THE DISH.

GAY CRUISING...

Gay dating is not as easy as it looks.From the outside looking in,it appears that 2 guys see each other on the street,gaydar flashes and then it's on and poppin'.WRONG.My gay friends have just as hard as a time as I do in the finding adequate dates in the city.Yes it's come to that sweeties...adequate.

But for all you men that like men there is hope.There's a gay dating coach,Jim Sullivan, that gives private lessons.I guess he's a gay version of Hitch so that makes him(insert your own joke).
There is also a book called "The Mandates: 25 Real Rules for Successful Gay Dating" by Dave Singleton .After many years of serial monogamy, Dave Singleton went to the front lines to find out, exploring the lives of other gay men who found themselves on the dating fast track with guys they'd met from work, at the gym or bars, and, increasingly, on the Internet. Thus, The Mandates was born-a laugh out loud but completely true set of rules about the making (or breaking) of men's romantic relationships.

Here is a guide to tell you if you're flirting or cruising written by dating coach Jim Sullivan and made funny by me.

You're flirting if you... You're cruising if you...

(flirting)Smile when your eyes meet. (cruising)Snarl when your eyes meet
(flirting)Complement his eyes. (cruising) Complement his thighs
(flirting)Ask his name. (cruising) Ask if he's a top or bottom
(flirting)Touch your face while you're talking.(cruising) Touch his ass while you're talking
(flirting)Talk about the weather.(cruising) Talk about getting wet
(flirting)Worry about the small talk.(cruising) Worry about the small dick
(flirting)Putting on a little chap stick. (cruising)Licking your lips
(flirting)Introduce him to your friends.(cruising) Point him out to your friends
(FLIRTING)Ask him what he wants(CRUISING) Ask him what he's into

THE GUIDE TO MALE BODY LANGUAGE

Can you tell if someone is into you just based on the way they move an eyebrow? Tracey Cox ,author of Superflirt believes it can be done.In her book,she says that women have 52 moves to show men they're interested. The average man chooses from a maximum of 10 to attract a female.Learning his pre-programmed signals can show you if you are wasting your time with trying to pursue or not.

The Eyebrow Flash
When we first see someone we're attracted to, our eyebrows rise and fall. If they like us back, they raise their eyebrows. The whole thing lasts about a fifth of a second and it happens everywhere in the world -- to everyone regardless of age, race, or class. Lifting our brows pulls the eyes open and allows more light to reflect off the surface, making them look bright, large and inviting. A flash might be easy to miss but they're so reliable, if you do spot one, you may know someone likes you before they've even registered it themselves. Deliberately extend it for up to one second and you've drastically upped the chances of him getting the message you're interested.

His lips part.
If he likes what he sees, his lips will automatically part for a moment when your eyes first lock.

His nostrils flare and his face generally "opens".
The raised brows, parted lips, flaring nostrils and wide eyes give the whole face a friendly "open" expression.

He'll try to attract your attention.
For some men, this might mean a subtle tie adjustment along with a silent prayer that you'll notice the flash of movement. Others turn into Boo-Boo the Fool and become so loud and boisterous, they're practically juggling and doing handstands. Any exaggerated movement or gesture usually means he's trying to stand out from the group. Another giveaway: he'll unconsciously detach from his friends by standing slightly apart, hoping to be seen as an individual.

He'll stroke his tie or smooth a lapel.
We all know what these preening gestures mean. They're the equivalent of the female lip lick -- "I want to look good for you."

He'll stand with hands on hips.
This accentuates his physical size and suggests body confidence. It's also a pointing gesture. We point with our hands at our own best sexual assets and also at the parts of our body where we'd most like to be touched. If he spends the night with his hands on his hips, fingers splayed and pointing downward, he's willing you to look, touch and admire the part he's proudest of. All subconscious, of course. Well, it is in most cases... LOL
That's why a lot of guys grab their dicks,it's like look right here mama,and I do..lol.

He'll play with the buttons on his jacket, buttoning and unbuttoning it. It's a displacement activity (fiddling) because you've made him a little nervous, plus an unconscious desire to remove his clothes. The next stage is to push the jacket open and hold it there by putting his hands on his hips. If he takes it off completely, he's imagining you cooking him breakfast in the morning.

He'll touch his face a lot, while looking at you.
If he's interested, he'll stroke his cheek up and down with the back of his fingers, touch his ears, or rub his chin. It's a combination of nervous excitement, preening and autoerotic touching. When we're attracted to someone, our skin (most noticeably our lips and mouth) become increasingly sensitive to touch and other stimulation. If you smoke, you'll take more drags on your cigarette. If you're drinking, you'll take more sips. You start touching your own mouth more because your lips are ultra sensitive and it feels good. Plus, it plants the idea in the other person's mind that it could be a good idea to kiss you.

He'll perch on the edge of his seat to get closer. And if he crosses his legs, the top leg will point in your direction

He'll guide you by putting his arm on your elbow or in the small of your back. The arm guide isn't just good manners and a polite way of guiding you through a crowd; he's making sure he knows exactly where you're going by taking you there. He doesn't want to lose you! It also shows you're being "taken care of" so no other men need volunteer. Along with the arm guide, there'll be lots of accidentally-on-purpose touches.

Aren't men silly little things...I love them.

ASK HOLLYHOOD

Dear Hollyhood,
I have been dating this guy for 7 months and due to reasons I don't want to get into,we broke up,well I broke up with him.It's been about a month since then and he's been e-mailing me and we speak like once a week and he's been trying to have this whole "friend with benefit" type of thing and I don't want that.

His best friend told me that he's been really lonely and is getting on everybody's nerve talking about how he messed up a good thing with me.Well last night I gave him a little "benefit".But now I'm not sure if we are back together. I don't know how to approach him about this. What should I do?

Hey sweetie,
Sex with an ex can be a lot of stuff: passionate, bittersweet, romantic, angry, comfortable, etc. However, sex with an ex is almost always a mistake. Instead of magically solving problems between a couple, it can create new shit.

For instance, I know for a fact you're finding it even more difficult to communicate openly with your ex how'd I know? Well, you wouldn't be asking me rather than him if the two of you are a couple again.
Wanna know my opinion right? You're not. Tell him that, while you had a sexual freak session, it's not going to happen again. (And don't let it.) Either you decide you want to forgive and forget whatever mess he did that caused you 2 to break up in the first place or you just gotta let him go.What if he did say, "Yes, darling, how could I have been such a fool, let's pick up where we left off," realize that those could be impulsive rather than well thought-out words. It takes more than one night of hot sweaty monkey love sex to cause a true change of heart. He'd have to prove to you (and to me, which might be tougher) a willingness to work on the relationship.

Dear Hollyhood,
I'm gay and find it hard to meet other gay men because I do not like the gay scene. I have never really liked bars or clubs and am unsure of how else to meet other gay men. I know you're a woman but can you help me? Any information would be really appreciated.

Dear sweetie,
I may be a straight woman but I am the gayer than any queen you'd ever meet honey(snap snap snap).So in actuality you are asking the right woman.
Well depending on the kind of man that you are looking for there is a place where he hangs.
If you live in a city where there is a gay area you might want to join a gym there,visit the bookstores,go for a walk(or jog) around the hood wearing something scandaliciously sexy.How about the barbershop or day spa?
You might want to try online dating,personal ads,chatlines,or how about making a gay friend or a gay friendly diva(we are usually surrounded by gay men) and have them hook you up with someone.

GOSSIP 2 GO 11/21

JUST DIVORCE ALREADY!!...THE HONEYMOON IS OVER
VIA PAGE SIX
THE already shaky marriage between Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey is about to hit another big speedbump.
Jessica Jaymes, a porn star who performed raunchy sex acts with another woman in front of Lachey and pals at a bachelor party last year, is trying to sell a story to the tabs about what she claims really happened that night --and it isn't pretty.
Last year, Star magazine reported in a story where no one was on the record that Lachey and his crew met up with Jaymes and two female friends ["an Asian and a blonde"] at an L.A. club. The crew later went back to a Hollywood Hills home where the women gave a sexual performance, which included "whipped cream and sex toys." Also with the group was a male friend of Jaymes.
At one point, Lachey got on the bed with the girls and seemed "in a trance." Eventually, Jaymes' male pal became "so concerned" about something that Star doesn't specify, he "intervened," pulling Jaymes away from the bed ...to Lachey's "dismay."
Now, we hear, Jaymes and her business manager Gordon Yugovich are asking $1 million plus syndication rights to the "entire story" with steamy details that are sure to make Simpson's hair stand on end. This time, not only will Jaymes be on the record, but her two girlfriends as well as the man who pulled her from the bed are supposedly going to talk — all confirming Jaymes' story.
Both Jaymes and Yugovich refused to "confirm or deny" details to PAGE SIX, although both noted something was being shopped around.
We also hear Jaymes is going to shop a book about the incident. But so far, there have been no takers. The deal has gone out to Life & Style and In Touch, as well as Us Weekly, National Enquirer and Star.Maybe no one is buying because Jaymes has already gone on the record with Howard Stern saying "nothing happened," according to Lachey's attorney, Martin Singer. And she told PAGE SIX last year, "Everything's been exaggerated."

THREE STRIKES YOU'RE OUT...YOU CAN'T BEAT PAULA...NOT EVEN ARSENIO COULD
FAILED "American Idol" contestant Corey Clark who baselessly claimed he slept with Idol judge Paula Abdul,just can't admit defeat. An anonymous man called the National Enquirer recently and said he had photos of Clark and Abdul in a passionate clinch during a romantic weeked at the Ojai Valley Inn and that Clark would be more than happy to talk on the record about it. But when the Enquirer looked at the pictures, they were "clearly not Paula," says a source. "What a loser." Earlier this year, Fox conducted a thorough investigation of Clark's claims and found them false.

NELLY SAYS WATCH ASSES CLAP FOR THE KIDS
HERE'S a novel charity idea in time for the holidays, courtesy of rapper Nelly: Match the money you spend at the strip club with an equal amount in toys for underprivileged tykes. The soft-core hip hopper told the crowd at the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network Awards benefit at Chelsea Piers how he and fellow hip hopper Jermaine Dupree left a strip club feeling guilty after spending more than $10,000 in a single night. So they thought: "How 'bout we go to the toy store and break the kids off, [it's] almost Christmas time." The next day the two matched the amount they'd spent at the flesh palace in toys, and delivered the gifts to needy tots.

THE SAGA CONTINUES
24 hours after "Diddy" called into New York's Hot 97 radio show to face off with disgruntled former employees The Lox, the Bad Boy mogul and his entourage showed up to the studio along with contracts and cancelled checks to help counter claims that he is keeping them from their money.
"I'm not here like 'Big Red,' pulling the wool over their eyes; I ain't gotta take nothing from nobody," Diddy told Hot 97's Angie Martinez, citing the villain from the film "The Five Heartbeats." "I have no problem with The Lox. I'm a fan of theirs. They can still come to my office and I'll erase yesterday."
On Wednesday, Lox members Jadakiss and Styles P appeared on Martinez's show with a plea for Diddy to release their publishing.
Diddy, on Thursday, suggested that the rappers are ignorant of their own paperwork.
He said: "New York was bamboozled, led a stray, run amok yesterday and lied to that I own 50% of their publishing. I don't own 50% of their publishing and that's what the embarrassing part is. Puff gets 20% of their publishing, so they get 80% of their publishing.
"These accusations attacking me as a man are totally not true. It's embarrassing that some artists that have been in the game for 10 years...they don't even know the 101 of the industry. They apparently haven't read their contracts, and they don't even know what's going on in their own lives."
During Wednesday's interview with the Lox, former Junior M.A.F.I.A. member Lil' Cease called in to say that Diddy was also hanging on to a huge portion of the Notorious B.I.G.'s publishing as well.
On Thursday, Diddy brought in Biggie's mother Voletta Wallace to refute those claims. Wallace stated that she is "very happy" with the arrangement she has with Bad Boy for the publishing rights to her late son's catalog.
Furthermore, Wallace said that Lil' Cease was speaking about a situation that was none of his business and should worry about himself.
The Lox attempted to call in and join the conversation, but Diddy wouldn't allow Martinez to patch them through. The Bad Boy founder preferred to hold any further one-on-one conversations with Lox on the phone or face-to-face, like "grown men."

THE DIRTY GIRL GETS MARRIED...DO YA THINK SHE WORE WHITE?
Christina Aguilera married her boyfriend, music executive Jordan Bratman, in northern California's Napa Valley on Saturday. The nuptials took place at sunset under a mountainside tent at the Staglin Family Vineyards in Rutherford, Calif. The singer walked down the aisle in a Christian Lacroix gown; her bridesmaids wore dresses by Stevie Wonder's wife, designer Kai Milla. Bride and groom exchanged wedding bands by London-based jeweler Stephen Webster, who also created Aguilera's five-carat, diamond-and-platinum engagement ring.

The Mail on Sunday reports that Christina Aguilera had each of the 150 guests invited to her wedding with Jordan Bratman sign a three-page confidentiality agreement. "You have to sign your life away," a guest revealed. "It's three pages long. It starts, 'It came as a great shock to us that one of our guests has been trying to sell their invitations. We are sorry to have to ask you, our dear friends and honored guests, to sign this agreement but we feel it is the only way to ensure the security of our wedding.'" Read more

PHARRELL INTERVIEW WITH ROLLING STONE
RollingStone.com spoke with Pharrell Williams in a Q&A and asked The Neptunes star of all the people he's collaborated with, who works the hardest in the studio. "The ones who are really successful work really hard," he said. "Beyonce works hard. I appreciate that. Justin [Timberlake], Usher and Jay-Z work hard. They're not in the studio to fu** around. We all have fun, but when it's time for us to put our Jedi hats on, we put our Jedi hats on and battle it out with the creativity that exists in oblivion. We reach in and snatch it out and carve away until it's right." Read more.

SINGLE SEXY AND SO WHAT WEEK (day 1)

Date- a social engagement between two persons that often has a romantic character.

Dating is an art.From the moment you walk out the door every person you see and sees you has the possibilty of being a potential date.Or if you're one of those that prefer meeting someone through bars,parties,supermarkets,bookstores,AA meetings,prison,etc..then you are oh too familiar with the almost "dance" that it takes to flirt,get a number,and ask or get asked on a date.

WHAT? My assistant told me that whay should she date...she doesn't need a man.

Ladies ladies ladies.I know that it was discovered in the late 80's that women don't need men for anything and I'd like to have a one on one convo with the lesbian that started that.Sure, we can make our own money,buy our own homes,and do any job just as well(or better) than a man but sweeties it's that kind of thinking that has got you sitting alone on a Friday night after a long day at your job,sitting on the furniture that you bought,in the empty house that you paid for.I personally feel like there is nothing wrong with having some great companionship,some great companionship that also freaks you the way that you want to be.

I'm not saying that you have to go and get married(hell no) I'm not even saying that it has to be the same man every week that you go out with.
I personally am a chronic dater...I love dating.I think getting to know a person through hanging out and phone calls was one of the best things invented.One of the things I hate most is an insta-relationship.That is when you went out once or twice and you figure that this person is ok and you devote all your time and effort to this one person and you both fall into this relationship that neither of you discussed but it happened.You gotta compare shop ladies,this is not Prada we don't just walk right in and buy off the rack without going to other stores and making sure we're getting the best deal.

I think this era of insta-relationships came about from the lack of good men that I hear about and the rise of sexual disease and the growing fear of being old and alone.And because of this,we forgot the art of going out and going on that hunt...don't just be hunted...you also have to hunt.

So welcome to SEXY SINGLE AND SO WHAT WEEK.The entire week will be dedicated to dating tips,sex tips,where to meet guys,how to find rich dates,average joes,smart men,gay men,beautiful women,desperate women,how to guides,dating disasters, embarassing dates,and perfect dates,how the celeb dates.AND my assistant and I will be going out speed dating,a double blind date,and to a singles bar just to bring you back shit that we've learned and experienced first hand....FUN.

SO U WANNA MEET A MAN 101

Finding a date-worthy man is tough, but you could be making it harder on yourself. You're hot, you're fun, you have a cool job and a big circle of friends ‑- in other words, you're the whole package. Then why the hell can't you meet a guy? "Often, women subconsciously give off 'keep away' signals," says psychotherapist Rhonda Findling, author of The Dating Cure. Well, here are some pinpointed mistakes you might be making and a few ways for you to remedy the situation ASAP.

You hang with a big group of girls.
When going on a manhunt, you may feel better bringing backup. Problem is, surrounding yourself with a posse makes you unapproachable. "It's intimidating for a guy," says Findling. "He's afraid of being rejected in front of an audience." To make yourself available, go out with just one wingwoman or separate from the crew and work the room solo.Besides,don't you want to be the first to find that Denzel look a like with no kids,no criminal records and a six figure income?

You Always Hit the Same Places
How many times have you found yourself saying, "Ugh, there are no cute guys here"? And yet, the following week, you're back at the same bar, with the same people, saying the same thing. "Well, if you want to find a great catch, you should venture outside of your comfort zone," says New York City psychologist and life coach Janice D. Bennett, Ph.D. Next time,think about venturing out the hood and giving some place else a try.

You Give Some Guys the Cold Shoulder
When you're eyeing a sexy piece and some so-so dude starts chatting your ear off, you're probably tempted to blow him off. But that could backfire. "If the object of your affection sees you acting rude, he'll move on to a girl who isn't as bitchy," warns Findling. Not only that, but the B-list boy could actually turn out to be cool. So unless he acts like a sleaze, give the guy a break and talk to him. If he still leaves you cold, politely excuse yourself and move on.HE'S watching you,and I'm not talking about Jesus (although he wouldn't like that behavior either).

You Refuse to Be Set Up
You whine about how hard it is to meet a man, yet you veto any friend who tries to hook you up and you won't even try online dating. "You need to open yourself up to any opportunity," says Bennett. "Spread the word that you want to be set up." And at least log on to a dating site and see who's out there. If you click with a guy, great; if not, you don't even have to endure a bad blind date.
But as with all dates,use common sense and public meeting places.A crazed pervert can be met at Saks,Burger King,the club,church,not just online...remember that.

You're Too Intent
It's fine that you want to meet someone, but you don't want to be so obvious about it. "Men can sense desperation," warns psychotherapist Katherine Woodward Thomas, author of Calling in "The One." "Most guys will steer clear of a girl they think is dying for a boyfriend." In addition, being on a man-finding mission can make you self-conscious. "You become so fixated on how you look and act that you can't enjoy yourself," says Findling. The goal should be to have fun, not meet guys. The irony: Your laid-back vibe will attract men anyway. So fall back and play it cool ladies.Would you want that type of man?

5 TYPES OF GUYS WOMEN AVOID

Fellas...I'm sure you've often wondered why you don't get that second date as often as you'd like and why the only woman using up your cell minutes is your mama.Well,you just might be one of the many types of men women avoid.Yes there are more than a few categories of men that we tend to run the hell away from when in their presence.Though the list is long,I will narrow it down to 5.

1. The Needy Guy
Mr.Needy will always bug the shit out of you to reassure him that all is well."Do you still like me?" "Why haven't you called me?" "I really really like you" are things he will say at least 3x a day.
Confidence and independence are very sexy traits in a man... insecurity and dependence are not. Most women look for a strong partner they can lean on. So if you are always leaning on her ... especially in the early stages of a relationship... she might doubt your ability to do this.
And since us women tend to come into relationships with our own insecurities, we don't want to deal with yours as well as our own.

I'm not saying don't share your feelings,fears,and insecurities with us,just wait a lil bit.Don't give us all of that shit so early,there will come a time when we'll want to know everything...we'll let you know sweetie.Till then...shut it up!

2. The Arguer
This man wants to take every word that comes out of your mouth and somehow make it into a fight."What do you mean you have to go to the bathroom?" "The sky is not blue,that's periwinkle bitch!" and other ridiculous shit are bound to jump out this man's mouth.He can turn a simple Red Lobster dinner into a huge debate on crabs vs shrimp...either way,it's the only fish he'll get that night(LOL..how crude was that?).

If you are this type of guy, you probably revert to debating because you are nervous or unsure of what to say.Relax.If you find that the date is getting annoyed and tense,calm down and ask her questions without you answering back...get to know her.Possibly think of some shit to say beforehand.

3. The Arrogant Guy
Is rude,an ego-maniac,concieted and patronizing.Sometimes to his date but often times to everyone else that he feels is "beneath" him.Often having great looks,body,dick or a job these men feel like they can treat people anyway they want to.

What Mr.Arrogant fails to realize is that even though he might not treat the woman like that on the date...she is watching him and assessing his personality based on how he treats those around him and if you're that asshole... get it together.

4. The Boring Guy
Also known as Mr.Predictable.Women don't like the Predictable Guy because they know exactly how he'll react to everything. He follows formulas and never wants to do anything differently. For example, he'd never surprise a woman by spontaneously taking her out for the night or throwing her down on the bed, covering her with diamonds and then spank her with the new winter faux fur belt by Dolce and Gabbana and making her orgasm as he pulls out his big long hard Gucci shoe box with a size 7 1/2 slingback with real pearl straps...oh my bad,is that just my fantasy?

Anyway fellas,women like a man that we don't know what to expect from him sometimes,that's where some of the "bad boy" attraction comes from.
So mix it up sometimes,especially in the beginning.And then you can fall back a little but then surprise us once in a while.

Last but not least...

5. The Cheap Bastard
Your first few dates should always be carefree; the words "saving" and "budget" shouldn't come up. If she spends the first date picturing a lifetime of penny-pinching with you, you're out sweets.
I'm not saying that you have to pay for everything but you should not make it obvious that the date has to be under $20.I being of wealthy descent always seem to date forgetful guys.They forget their wallets,they forget to chip in,and it's contageous because I forget to fuck em' or even call them again.

You don't need to spend a fortune to make a good impression, but you do need to make us feel like we're special. Flowers are a nice touch once in a while,jewels, a Barney's gift certificate or some beautiful stocks and bonds.

ANOTHER JENIFER TO TAKE THE "DREAM" ROLE
After an exhaustive search to find the perfect Effie, "American Idol" finalist Jennifer Hudson has been chosen to play the pivotal part for the "Dreamgirls" feature film, clearing the way for production to begin as scheduled on Jan. 9 for a December 2006 release.
"Effie is such a hugely complex role," director and writer Bill Condon (Chicago) told USA Today. "She is at once exasperating and heartbreaking. Jennifer emerged as the person who captured both sides."

KANYE IS "RUN" OUT OF TOP SPOT
Kanye West's 10-week run atop Billboard's Hot 100 has come to an end, thanks to a teen R&B newcomer. After spending four weeks at No. 2, Chris Brown finally displace's West's "Gold Digger" featuring Jamie Foxx, which drops to No. 2.

THAT OL' GOTTI LOVE
VICTORIA Gotti just can't handle the truth- that her son Carmine Agnello has a lousy voice. Agnello, who's on VH1's "But Can You Sing?" along with Bai Ling, Morgan Fairchild and Antonio Sabado Jr., butchered yet another song during Friday's taping. Victoria went ballistic after British comedian and "Celebrity Fit Club" host Ant, who was judging that day, quipped: "Words can't describe how I feel about that performance, but sounds can. You sounded like a cat caught in a muffler." Gotti, according to people on the set, "threw a Soprano-sized tantrum and stormed backstage. She halted production for over an hour, screaming at producers to remove the comment from the show. When producers asked why she was so upset, she said she was 'just being a mother protecting her son.' Ant, of course, chimed in, 'But this isn't a high school play.' " The comments only infuriated Gotti more. Soon after, producers "suggested" to Ant that "he be escorted to his car by security."

STILL WAITING TO EXHALE
Terry McMillan says she's ready to move on after her divorce from Jonathan Plummer amidst his revelation that he is gay. "I just got back from Los Angeles where a group of women had a belated party for me," she told AP. "Guess what? Life does go on. My life is already continuing." After 6 1/2 years of marriage, the 54-year-old author filed for divorce from Plummer, 30, last spring. "I'm not going to end up on the rocking chair by myself," said McMillan, who is scheduled to speak at today's Miami Book Fair International.

WANNA MEET TOCCARA
America's Next Top Model finalist Toccara will work the runway at Ashley Stewart's Grand Opening Celebration at Rochester, NY's Greece Ridge Center (271 Greece Ridge Center Drive) on Saturday (Nov. 19). Ashley Stewart is the leading fashion retailer for stylish urban full-figured women. In addition to the fall fashion show featuring Toccara and local Rochester models, the 12-5 p.m. event will feature raffle prizes, giveaways, free gift with purchases, local talent, autograph signings, a live DJ and one very exciting shopping experience. 103.9 WDKX Wake-Up Club radio personality Tariq Spence will emcee the celebration.

KANYE AND THE GAY STRUGGLE
"I'm still trying to get over my own homophobia," West says in King magazine, which names him its Man of the Year in the upcoming issue. "I still wouldn't feel comfortable at a gay bar. I wouldn't go to a gay parade. I don't know if I'm in favor of gay marriage or not."
West goes on: "People said to me, 'Were you scared of speaking out against George Bush?' No. The bravest thing I did this year was speaking out against homophobia. That's a scarier topic, because if you bring it up, people think you must be gay. But you don't have to be gay to not gay-bash. We're a very close-minded people."
West recalls freestyling with another rapper in front of a gay person years ago "and we started rhyming about beating up gays right in front of him. .. People always say, 'Kanye's conscious, Kanye's conscious' - well, my conscience kicked in, and it said, 'Yo, that was kinda wack.' "
He adds: "Things have been clicking ever since. I found out my cousin was gay years ago, and even just dealing with my interior decorator, having to travel with him, I've had to deal with issues. There was a point I wouldn't even get in the car with him 'cause I didn't want people to see me with a gay person. I didn't want it to hurt my career."
MORE WEST NEWS
Kanye West will receive the Artist Achievement Award at the 2005 Billboard Music Awards, which will be presented Dec. 6 in Las Vegas.

HOLLYHOOD TRIBUTE....MADONNA

A LOOK BACK AT MADONNA THROUGH ROLLING STONE

I am not ashamed to admit that I used to be a huge fan of Madonna when I was younger.I remember loving her style and her overall aura on stage.although I was too young to understand her lyrics,I was old enough to know that this was a woman that was confident,bold,sexy, and unafraid of what anybody thought of her and that's the kind of woman I wanted to be.

Even though I don't think she's made all the best decisions music wise,style,her personal life or all of her reinventions but I've always respected her courage to try something new,innovate,and teach.
and even if you yourself was not a fan,you still knew exactly what that bitch was up to.20 years later and she's still relevant in an industry that just loves to spit you out when you get to a certain age.Love her,hate her,it doesn't matter she's old,she's skanky,she's edgy and an attention whore,but she's here.

ASK HOLLYHOOD

This is one of the more interesting letters that I've recieved.As some of you may know,I love giving advice and I've decided to start answering some of my e-mails on this blog.If you would like advice on any topic at all...e-mail me at hollyhood2006@yahoo.com

I was with this woman (who used to be a hoe/stripper) in a marriage for almost 10 years. We built a family together I worked madd jobs so she could stay home and figure her life out---like, how she would get her head out of that life and get on with a real one. I wasn't an angel (I made a baby while were dating that I neglected to mention until after we were married) but I was a good husband and father. Out of nowhere , she decided to dip out with my kids and get with some ashy, broke-ass nigga with no real job but a lot of time to write bullshit poetry. I was hurt.

I met this woman who embodies alot of what I need in a woman---she's white. Our coming together was kind of accidental, but I feel like we have so much in common. I feel like I can't sleep on it. But I've been inter-racial joints before, so I know the drill, and don't know if I want to go back there. IN the end, I want to be happy, andit seems like I have given sisters more than a fair shake. I'm getting long in the tooth, and life is madd short. What do you think?

Hey sweetie,
I am going to assume you told that first part of your dilemma to show us how a black woman has hurt you.Am I right in assuming that she was black?

Woman #1
Ok,the first woman.I personally feel like you should not have married her until she (and definitely YOU) knew where her head was.Marriage is not the thing to do when you are unsure of who you are...ask Terry McMillan.

In a relationship,especially during the dating phase.You have to get to know this person...ask questions,look at how they view life,see what kind of future they're looking for.Most importantly,before making a commitment make sure you tell your partner what you expect from a relationship..that relationship, and your partner do the same.That misunderstanding is what fucks shit up and has you 10 years down the line looking for the ejection button.

You also have to look at your own shit..you downplayed something very important...you not only cheated while you were dating but you have a living reminder of that affair.She might not have gotten over that and harbored intense feelings of anger towards your ass.If she found her a guy that was jobless that wrote poetry,what does that show me?As a woman,I can tell that she was not concerned with money,she wanted time and attention and the sensitivity that comes from a guy that writes poetry.

Woman # 2
I have a very specific opinion on inter-racial dating.
If you are doing it because you have negative feelings toward your own race and feel another race is better,than I say that you are in for a huge shock when you realize that women are women and no matter the race you will experience some of the same problems.
But...
If you really like this woman because she appeals to all the things you find great about a woman,reguardless of race, than I say go for it.The racial problems that arise are from outside sources and I say fuck those haterz,this is about you and her.My mother is white and my father is black and the majority of the racial problems they had came from their families and friends,they only kept the people in their life that wanted to see them happy and let go of the negative, and they are still together 26 years later.

YOU DESERVE HAPPINESS.
Learn from mistakes in your past and really get into this woman for the person she is,not her race and you could find someone that will respect the relationship just as much as you.

DESPERATE DAMAGE CONTROL
Page Kennedy is denying a National Enquirer story that claimed his firing from ABC's "Desperate Housewives" came after he allegedly exposed himself to two female crew members.
"The truth is Touchstone decided to go in a different direction, and they bought out my contract,' the 28-year-old actor said, according to Contact Music. "Anything you've heard to the contrary is all false."
As previously reported, the Enquirer quoted sources on the Universal Studios set who say Kennedy exposed himself to a “young female assistant,” and then a few days later to a female assistant director.
I definitely need my city (Detroit) to know and understand what's going on," Kennedy said. "The challenge I have right now is trying to get the truth out as aggressively as they got the rumors out. That's the problem. If the truth isn't as juicy as the rumors, who cares? That's what sucks."
As previously reported, Kennedy’s role of Caleb has been filled by actor Nashawn Kearse.

FORMER RAY ASSOCIATE SUES FILM MAKERS
A former music partner of the late Ray Charles is suing the filmmakers of "Ray" for the manner in which he is portrayed in the movie. The New York Daily News reports that lawyers for Garcia (Gossie) McKee, 85, have filed a complaint in California Superior Court against writer-director Taylor Hackford and distributor Universal, among others, alleging that "'Ray' falsely depicts McKee... plotting to cheat, exploit and take advantage of Charles." Gossie, portrayed in the film by Terrence Howard, was shown taking advantage of Charles' blindness by skimming money off the top of their paychecks from club gigs in Seattle. McKee's attorney, Stephen Rohde, told the Daily News' Lowdown column: "He was one of the loyal supporters of Ray Charles early in Ray's career, and that's why it was so disturbing."

SO YOU THINK YOU GOT ASS??
Jennifer Lopez is working on a deal with MTV to produce a reality show that would shadow several aspiring dancers in Los Angeles who are trying to become stars. J.Lo's company Nuyorican Prods is currently in discussions with the music channel, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The actress/singer would executive produce the series with Simon Fields, a partner in her company.

STEFANI WANTS KIDS..BUT FIRST SHE'S GOTTA DANCE!
OK! magazine spoke with No Doubt singer Gwen Stefani and asked if she and hubby Gavin Rossdale of Institute plan on having children. "You know, it's definitely on my dream list," Stefani responded. "One of the big reasons I wanted to do this dance record was because I knew that my passions were going to change soon and I'm going to want to have a family. But right now I'm trying to live in the moment and really enjoy this wave that I'm riding. It's not really up to me, is it? If it happens it happens, it'll happen when... To me it's such a miracle anyway, that when it's supposed to happen to me, I guess it will."

MY GOODIES MY GOODIES...NOT MY GOODIES
Organizers of the American Music Awards have released a list of freebies to be given to celebrities at the annual ceremony. Will Smith, Missy Elliott, Carmen Electra and Gwen Stefani are among the stars to receive the gift bag of 100 items, including ownership of an acre of land on the moon, Sirius Satellite Radio equipment, a Blackberry 8700C, driving lessons in a F1/Nascar, iPod docking stations, Firefly children’s cell phones, Sandals Resorts vacation packages, Michael Jordan cologne and Akimbo Video On Demand players. The gift packages were assembled by Steve Stein of Hollywood Connection and are each valued at approximately $33,000 in honor of the show’s 33rd anniversary.

GET RICH SELLING DICK OR DIE TRYING
Heidi Fleiss is getting back into the business. The former "Hollywood Madam," 39, says she's planning to turn a Southern Nevada brothel called the Cherry Patch Ranch into a resort featuring male prostitutes serving an all-female clientele, the Associated Press reports. "I am moving to Crystal," Fleiss, speaking from her Hollywood home, said of a desert crossroads 20 miles north of Pahrump and about 80 miles outside of Las Vegas – where the only businesses are two bordellos and little else. (Prostitution is legal in certain areas of the gambling state.)

"I am opening up a stud farm," Fleiss declared. "I am going to have the sexiest men on earth. Women are going to love it." Joe Richards, owner of the Cherry Patch Ranch and the nearby Mabel's Ranch, tells AP that he dispatched a "courtesy" letter Tuesday to inform the Nye County Commission that he's hiring Fleiss "to be madam hostess of Cherry Patch Ranch." Only, there's a hitch: County Sheriff Tony DeMeo said that because Fleiss is a convicted felon – who served 21 months for money laundering, tax evasion and attempted pandering before her release from prison in 1999 – she could be banned from the county's legal sex trade. In 1995, Fleiss was convicted of running a prostitution ring in which models-turned-prostitutes were flown around the world to meet wealthy actors and clients who paid as much as $10,000 for a single encounter. As for her prospective new position, the six-member brothel licensing board reportedly will decide upon the matter. Even so, says Fleiss, movers are packing her up and "I'm moving." She reportedly plans to arrive in Nevada later this week.

EDDIE MURPHY IS MOVING ON...WITH A GIRL..NO REALLY(VIA LOWDOWN)
The bad news is that Nicole and Eddie Murphy are in the middle of a bareknuckle divorce fight.
But the good news is that Nicole, whose 12-year-old marriage to Murphy produced five children, apparently approves of her estranged hubby's rumored new girlfriend, "Access Hollywood" weekend anchor Shaun Robinson.
The 44-year-old movie star and comedian has been linked to everyone from Mariah Carey and Robin Givens to - embarrassingly - a cross-dressing hooker with whom he was found by the LAPD in 1997. (Murphy wasn't arrested, and has said he was helping "her.")
"At least he's got a good one this time," the 37-year-old Nicole was overheard confiding to her boyfriend, Atlanta businessman Alan F. Daniels, over a late lunch this week at the Fred Segal store in L.A.
Her husband doesn't feel the same about her choice in men. According to published reports, Daniels is named in the divorce papers. "Nicole Murphy shall be restrained and enjoined from having the children in the physical presence of Alan F. Daniels," Eddie's divorce petition states.
While a Lowdown spy listened from the next table, Nicole went on: "Eddie was Shaun Robinson's date at the 'Access Hollywood' 10th-anniversary party, and they also went to a Dave Chappelle show together. And I heard she's been to the house a few times."
The battling Murphys have a $10 million-plus estate in Beverly Hills - just a fraction of the assets in play.
My spy told me: "Nicole's tone was very 'good riddance.' She is so over him. She looks amazing. And she and her boyfriend were all over each other."
Yesterday, Eddie's PR rep, Paul Bloch, declined to comment on the Robinson connection. But a flack for "Access Hollywood" told me: "Shaun and Eddie are good friends, that's it."

MY BAD...

PARIS HILTON'S NEW PET IS BANANAS...OH AND HER MONKEY
PARIS Hilton's new pet monkey, Baby Luv, went bananas when she took the peeved primate on a lingerie shopping spree in Las Vegas last weekend. We're told that Baby Luv bit Hilton and clawed her face when she walked into the Agent Provocateur shop at Caesars on Saturday with the beast on her shoulder. Paris managed to pull Baby Luv off her and hooked his leash to a cabinet while she rang up $4,000 worth of bras and panties and a bullwhip, says our eyewitness. Later that night, when the lingerie line hosted Kelly Osbourne's 21st birthday bash at the Hard Rock, Baby Luv escaped from Hilton's clutches — delaying the start of the Agent Provocateur show until staffers found him after a 20-minute search.

Meanwhile, Hilton's boyfriend, Stavros Niarchos III, was up to monkey business of his own. In one of the Hard Rock rooms paid for by Niarchos, his bonehead buddies started a fire Sunday morning. The blaze set off the sprinkler system which flooded a dozen rooms, a hotel source says. We're told Niarchos agreed to put $25,000 in damages on his credit card, but he'll likely have to pony up a lot more cash. "The damage may be closer to $100,000," says our source.
This is her second crazy Greek Boyfriend.She's had more Greece between her legs than KFC.

BERRY BERRY NICE...
HALLE Berry is the new face of Versace. We're told that fashion photographer Mario Testino shot the sexy star in L.A. last weekend for the upcoming print campaign. "The shoot was beautiful portraits, slightly messy hair and a wind machine — very glamorous," tattles our on-set spy. Berry follows in the footsteps of Kabbalah cuties Madonna and Demi Moore as Donatella Versace's latest celebrity muse. And if anyone cares, Wilhelmina model Gabriel Aubry will reprise his role from last season as Versace's requisite beefcake.

TONI AND MARIAH DO THE NFL
Toni Braxton has been tapped to belt the National Anthem before the Thanksgiving Day game between the Detroit Lions and the Atlanta Falcons, while Mariah Carey is scheduled to perform two songs during halftime.

STAR JONES IS ONE CHEAP MAMA...NO WONDER SHE ROCKS PAYLESS
The View host is constantly trying to sweet talk people into giving her freebies -- despite her generous salary. Her most recent attempt to score loot? To mark her first anniversary to her poor hubby Al, Star had her spokesperson contact NYC's Cornelia Day Spa and ask if they would provide the couple with a day of pampering -- free of charge. In exchange, Star's mouthpiece promised that the spa would be mentioned in an upcoming article about Star and Al in OK! mag.
Brilliantly, the spa wasn't interested in getting Star's publicity, turning her down flat.

MADONNA,THINKING ABOUT HER FUTURE
The Sun reports that Madonna shopped at Harrods and spent £2,600 on a vibrating Power Plate gizmo, which claims to benefit anti-aging and stave off cellulite. "She came to Harrods in person and had a private viewing and ordered the Power Plate without even checking the price," a source revealed. "She asked for the private meeting with sales staff because she was making a 'sensitive' purchase. She made it clear that there would be hell to pay if anybody uttered a word about what she was buying." Read more.

Tracy, a pretty blonde, allowed herself to be picked up by the former Playmate and was later bragging about the night she spent with Smith, sharing pictures from her digital camera with patrons at the bar. "She wasn't keeping it a secret," a PAGE SIX source relates. "Anna Nicole put her in handcuffs and her neck was covered with hickeys." The source added, "Anna Nicole was doing that butt-slapping thing — it was just bizarre. And her son was in the house." Calls to Tracy and Smith were not returned.

This is actually my second faux interview,my first was with Mariah..if you missed it, read here.

I got the(fake) interview a lot of the fellas and a couple of the ladies have been waiting for.It's the interview with Internet model and Video "it" girl, Buffie "the body" Carruth.
Well the interview is not really with Buffie...it's with her ass, Buffie 2.Buffie 2 was sweet and well spoken until...well you'll read.

Hollyhood-Thanks for coming.It's good to see you in person.
BUFFIE'S ASS(a.k.a. Buffie 2)- It's great seeing you and it's great being seen.
Hollyhood- You are virtually all over the internet these days.Your pictures and videos are becoming collector's items.How do you feel about this surge of celebrity?
Buffie 2- I love the attention,I told Buffie we would get to this point one day and we did it! I was at the Vibe Awards thinking to myself how far I've come.
Hollyhood-yes you are like a diva sweetie.
Buffie 2-I love to be pampered...lol pun intended
Hollyhood-So tell me a little about yourself.
Buffie 2- I think Buffie could answer this better than I.
Buffie-Well, I was walkin' in the wholesale flower district one day
((out of nowhere Tisha Cambell,Tichina Arnold,and another woman come out doing back up))
Background- Shoop da-doo
Buffie- and I passed by this place where this old Chinese man
Background-Chang da-doo
Buffie-he sometimes sells me weird and exotic cuttings
Background-Snip da-doo
Buffie- 'cause he knows, you see, that strange plants are my hobby.
Background-Da da da da da da-doo.
Buffie-He didn't have anything unusual there that day.
Background-Nope, da-doo,
Buffie-so I was just about to, ya know, walk on by, when suddenly,and without warning, there was this total eclipse of the sun.It got very dark and there was this strange sound like something from another world. And when the light came back this weird flat ass was just sitting there on my even flatter one.
Hollyhood-OMG what did you do?
Buffie starts to sing...
I've given you sunshine
I've given you dirt.
You've given me nothing
But heartache and hurt.
I'm beggin' you sweetly.
I'm down on my knees.
Oh, ass-grow for me!
I've given you soul food
And water to sip.
I've given you pornstars.
You've given me zip.
Oh God, how I mist you
Oh butt, how you tease
Now, ass-grow for me!

Hollyhood-That's it...and it started growing?
Buffie-Not really,I had to feed it something.
Hollyhood-What? I'm sure my readers would love to know.
((Just then her pants split and out pops two of the biggest ass cheeks I've ever seen.))
Buffie 2-FEEEEED ME
Suddenly, the cheeks spread,the teeth were huge,the smell horrific.I think I saw Dave Chapelle and the members of that failed BET group Fatty Koo.There was a huge sucking sound like a vacuum and everything got sucked up...including me.I'm temporarily doing this edition from inside the Little Ass of Horrors...HELP!!

If you've never seen Little Shop of Horrors this skit is sooo wasted on you...just look at the pictures then.

SEX POSITION OF THE WEEK

((As seen in Cosmo Magazine))
I am sure that my readers are well acquainted with 69. Now may I introduce you to (drumroll, please)...77.
Sex expert Cynthia Gentry, author of The Bedside Orgasm Book, clued us in to this frisky number. "The name 77 refers to the way you and your partner's bodies look when they meld together in this side entry position," explains Gentry. "It's similar to spooning but with a twist."

77

We'll say. The unique angling practically guides his, uh, missile to your G-spot.
To reach numeric nirvana, lie on your side with your guy behind you so that you're both facing the same direction. Wrap your legs around his top leg and pull him close, pushing your butt toward him as he enters you. Once he's inside, straighten your legs in tandem with his so they're tightly sandwiched together, toes pointed. Stay connected as you simultaneously bend at your waists, while extending your legs at a 45-degree angle away from your bodies.

"Folding over and assuming the 77 in this maneuver changes the angle of penetration, creating a direct penile pathway to the front vaginal wall where your G-spot is located," according to Gentry.

I have not tried this yet but if anyone has,let me know...it sounds like a to do.

I read both of your blogs every chance I get.You seem to be one of those women that have it together and could teach a few things to some of these dumb ass chicks that's out here.
I have a problem I'd like help with mama.It's like,I've been seeing this girl for a minute and we used to fuck like all the time and now we don't do shit.You think she might be dippin' ?

Hey Reader,
Thanks for seeing me as a person that might be able to help you.First,I wanna say that if you go out with the expectation that all the girls you meet are dumb asses then that's all you'll meet.You won't even be able to see the good in a good one...you'll just be waiting for her to fuck up.
Secondly,and this is to all ...TALK TO YOUR PARTNERS!! If you feel as if something's wrong,ask them.Find out if there is something you could be doing better,or let them know when something's bothering you.
I can't answer for your girl,but I can say that in general if a woman stops sleeping with her man it's not always due to "dippin' ".Here are a few reasons:

1- She's angry at you
Most women cannot fuck a man that they're angry at. And unfortunately for you, many women bottle up their resentment, instead of simply letting you know when you've done something that upsets them. This means that your woman might be pissed off at you, yet you haven't the slightest clue that you've done anything wrong.

Talk to her and calmly ask her if you've done anything that has upset her lately. If she quickly says "no," and tries to change the subject, ask her again and encourage her to be honest with you. It's possible that after she gets what's bothering her off her chest, you two can have a mind-blowing session of make-up sex.

2- She's feels unsexy
It's very simple: if your girlfriend feels unsexy, she won't want to have sex. Maybe she's put on a few pounds, she's exhausted, or someone insulted her. It's not uncommon for a woman to judge herself too harshly.Yes,even someone as gorgeous as I has had a bout with feeling less than that. Us girls are emotional creatures, after all.

Encourage her to take some time to pamper herself or treat her to an afternoon at the spa, or, better yet, give her a nice long massage and tell her that she's beautiful and sexy. Sometimes something as simple as paying her a genuine compliment will remind her how attractive you think she is, and get her ready to go.

3-She's no longer attracted to you
This may seem harsh,but despite what she may say to your face, she may never be in the mood for the simple reason that she is no longer attracted to you. Although your sex used to send shivers throughout her entire body, and it took the greatest amount of restraint to wait until you got home from a party to have sex, you just don't turn her on anymore. And if she has an ounce of tact, she will tell you so in a subtle manner or you can be brave and ask her.

Perhaps the reason she is no longer attracted to you has little to do with you, per se, and more to do with someone else. Does she seem distant lately? Does she have a short fuse when it comes to you? Is she into doing things and going places that she never had an interest in before? If so, she may be dippin' sweetie, her attention(like her bootie) may lie with another.
If this is the reason for your lack of intimacy lately, then I'm afraid there isn't much that can be done to resolve the issue. It is best to go your seperate ways.

LOW CASH FOR DASH??
IS Damon Dash running out of cash? The former Roc-A-Fella impresario has had a tough time coughing up the dough to buy a mansion in Miami. The 160,000-square-foot glass palace was built by Alan Lieberman, owner of the Catalina Hotel in South Beach (and Jason Binn's father-in-law). Dash fell for it at first sight, making an offer of $8.5 million and leaving a deposit of $100,000, less than 2 percent. However, when Lieberman pressed for the rest of the down payment and, ultimately, the balance, Dash paid another $400,000, but then withdrew his offer entirely. Dash's fork-tongued rep, Amanda Silverman, said, "He hasn't been able to look at the house because every time he tries to go, there's a hurricane." She added. "He has a bunch of other houses that don't get used."

ROCKER CALLS R&B/HIP HOP ARTISTS IDIOTS!!
Noel Gallagher of Oasis isn't a fan of hip-hop and tells Time Off magazine he's just not "havin' it" any longer. "I fu**ing hate it... and R&B, and all the people that make that kind of music and all the people that buy it," Gallagher fumed. "When you see the videos of some guy throwing $100 bills over a naked woman lying on a bed with a dog leash around her fu**ing neck... what the fu** is all that about? That to me doesn't seem to be right somehow. Back in the 70s/80s, if that was done by a rock n' roll band, it'd be called sexist and there'd be shock, horror and outrage. For some reason, hip-hop artists tend to get away with that. It's all about the bling and the money. The critical thing about these fu**ers is they go on about increase the peace' and getting kids to stay in school, but they're all raving crack heads. It's a fake form of music to me, and they're all a bunch of idiots anyway." Read more.

JAY-Z CALLS DRESS CODE A FORM OF CENSORSHIP
Jay-Z tells The New York Daily News he doesn't think the NBA's new dress code is racist or a form of censorship on hip-hop culture. "(If) they want to have a more professional look, that's well and good," the hip hop mogul, who is a part owner of the New Jersey Nets, told Ohm Youngmisuk. "But to spring it on someone as a mandatory thing in the last two weeks, that rubs me wrong a little way. It is not a classy thing to do. But if that is implemented starting next year, we have to start wearing suits and dress up, hey, the rules are the rules. As far as what I have seen, people relate to guys like Allen Iverson because they feel like he is one of them. Know what I am saying? Not too many people are walking around from where he comes from with Armani suits on." Read more of the extensive interview here.

WWE FORMER CHAMP DIES
Eduardo (Gory) Guerrero, a World Wrestling Entertainment star, was found dead yesterday in his hotel room on the day he was scheduled to appear in a WWE show.FULL STORY

GET YA TIVO READY
R&B acts on television this week include Usher, who visits 'The Tonight Show with Jay Leno' on Monday; Destiny's Child, who visit 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' on Tuesday; and Earth Wind & Fire, who perform on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' on Friday.
Rappers on television this week include Xzibit, who visits 'Too Late with Adam Carolla' on Tuesday and 'Last Call with Carson Daly' on Thursday; Nelly, who visits 'Total Request Live' on Wednesday; and Pharrell Williams of N.E.R.D., who performs on 'The Late Show with David Letterman' on Thursday.

As previously reported, Naomi Campbell will appear on Tyra Banks' syndicated talk show today, ending the frostiness that has existed between the two veteran supermodels for the past 14 years. Banks told the New York Daily News that she has always made a point to steer clear of Campbell, and has previously said of her British archrival: "She did so many hateful things, like getting me thrown off shows because she was more famous. It got so bad that I just wanted to give up." In describing their first-ever embrace at the Victoria’s Secret fashion show last week, Banks beamed: "It was the first time I've been in a room with Naomi when I didn't fear her."

Jimmy Kimmel Live will host what's billed as a farewell performance by Destiny’s Child in its broadcast tomorrow (Nov. 15). Beyonce Knowles, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams will kick off the evening with the debut performance of "Stand Up for Love," the anthem for World Children's Day 2005. The group will perform songs both inside and outside on Jimmy Kimmel Live's Pontiac Garage West stage. The show, which marks the first time Jimmy Kimmel has devoted a broadcast to one feature guest, will air at 12:05 a.m. on ABC. "I know they have other plans, but I will do everything in my power to keep Destiny’s Child together," said Kimmel. "For the good of the world."

The Boondocks was a ratings smash for Cartoon Network, which saw 1.6 million viewers tune into the premiere episode on Nov. 6. The controversial series, based on the comic strip by Aaron McGruder, features Regina King as the voice of both Huey and Riley.

Oprah admits she had no clue what was going on and was not buying his declaration of love for Katie Holmes. "It was wilder than it was appearing to me," Winfrey said. "I was just trying to maintain the truth for myself because I couldn't figure out what was going on. And what I was prepared for was the dance that happens when you're doing celebrities — when you know they're not going to tell you, but you're going to ask anyway, and then you try asking another way." "I was not buying-- not buying it, not buying," Winfrey said of Cruise's declarations of love. "That's why I kept saying to 'you're gone, you're really gone.'"

One year after World War I drew to a close, President Woodrow Wilson declared November 11, 1919 as Armistice Day--a national holiday to celebrate victory in "the war to end all wars." Yet the dream of world of peace was soon shattered as first World War II, then the Korean Conflict called America's troops back to the battlefield. In 1954, Armistice Day was re-named as Veterans Day, a fitting tribute to all the men and women who have defended the cause of freedom around the world.

Hilton, who's now fooling around with young Stavros Niarchos, "bought it for herself," giggled our spy. "It's a cubic zirconia. The ring Paris [Latsis] gave her was a much smaller one [from Cartier].

"It was different in my day, because it was all so much purer. Now these dealers mix it with salt, washing powders, anything they can get their hands on. Kids just don't know what they're taking."

THE ULTIMATE HUSTLER HAS NO CLASS(RULE #245)
DAMON Dash leapt on stage and grabbed the mike at Wednesday's Victoria's Secret after-party so the former Roc-A-Wear partner could advertise his own brands to a crowd that included Heidi Klum, Gisele Bundchen, Tyra Banks and Dennis Rodman. "Everybody was in shock," said one observer. "First of all, you just don't give yourself a shout-out. He went on for about 30 minutes, saying, 'D Dash is in the house, D Dash is on the mike,' and then naming all his brands. I've never seen anything like it. No wonder Jay-Z didn't want this guy as his partner." Dash's flack, Amanda Silverman, said, "They asked him to be the deejay. He was just having fun." A Victoria's Secret rep said, "He was never asked to be the deejay.

50 CENT LIKES TO SHOW THE GOODS(VIA EUR)
Now that 50 Cent's film "Get Rich or Die Tryin" has been out for a couple of days, someone has probably hipped you to a couple of standout moments – most notably, the jailhouse shower scene.
A buck naked 50 Cent and Terrence Howard, as characters Marcus and Bama, slip and slide in the prison shower while trying to fend off some irate inmates attempting to stab Marcus.
"The water in the shower was cold that day," laughs Howard, in case someone has something to say about his full frontal shot. In fact, he went on to joke about how he came up "short" in the scene.
Director Jim Sheridan, whose previous credits include "My Left Foot" and "In the Name of the Father,"had asked that the actors be completely nude in order to make the scene more realistic. But Howard initially refused.
"I didn't want to do it. They weren’t supposed to film anything but up here," he says, placing his palms on his chest. "But that was such a compromise to Jim's vision. I believed so much in what Jim was trying to accomplish, and I saw him sitting with this defeated look.
"This is my leader, who I believed in, not wanting to ask us. But I could hear it in him, just rubbing the last few hairs left on his head."
Sensing Jim wasn't completely satisfied with the semi-nude take, Howard approached the director of photography, Declan Quinn, and asked if they could shoot the scene one more time.
"I turned to 50 and I took my pants off and said, 'Let's just do the scene naked. Let's do it one time. And without hesitation – I've been in the business 20 years [and have never seen this] – without hesitation he took them off and we did the scene. And that man who was defeated behind the monitor before was like, 'Okay! This is what we gotta do!' And we were able to give him, by trusting him, what he had given us by trusting us with his vision and his career."
Another moment sure to be discussed on the way home was the love scene between Marcus and his childhood best friend Charlene, played by Joy Bryant. The actress says she fell out laughing when 50, a.k.a. Curtis Jackson, arrived on the set to shoot the scene without a stitch of clothing.
"He didn’t know," Bryant smiles, her voice filled with mock pity. "Me having done a love scene before, I know that usually guys wear some king of thingy, right? But no one told him that. They kinda left him hanging…badum bum," she says accenting the pun.
"I was like, 'Go put a sock on it!' He was like, 'What?' I said, 'You need to put something on.' He didn't know, so I'm like, 'Go talk to so-and-so and tell them you need to put something on it. He comes back with a diaper. I'm like, 'I said a sock. So he goes and comes back with like the longest sock in the history of socks."

AND SPEAKING OF THAT MOVIE
I dished in yesterday's gossip 2 go,about the theaters not wanting to screen 50's movie in fear of shootings,well here is their validation.
on Wednesday night in the Pittsburgh area a man was shot and killed after a screening of the movie.
The shooting happened at the Loews Cineplex at The Waterfront in West Homestead. Allegheny County homicide detectives are still looking for suspects.
Authorities say the victim, Shelton Flowers of Wilkinsburg, began arguing with the shooter in the men’s room and the argument spilled out into the lobby
"A policeman came in with a dog," said Jonathon St. Jean, a movie patron. "Not too long after, everyone was asked to leave." Police also say Flowers had attended the 9 p.m. showing of the new movie and that he was accompanied by a woman. At press time, they were still trying to locate the unidentified woman.
According to reports, Loews has decided to cease showing the violent movie while the police investigation continues.

IS THERE A BERRY IN THE OVEN?

Berry, who turned 39 in August, told Oprah Winfrey in March that she would like to have a child before she hits the big 4-0. "If there's no serious man, whoever I'm dating at the time, I'll say, 'Hey, would you like to have a baby? I'll sign a paper that will say I won't ask you for one red cent.'"

TITO JACKSON IS GOING TO GET A SPANKING FROM HIS MAMA
Katherine Jackson is reportedly furious with Tito for singing backup behind a Michael Jackson impersonator during a Halloween party last month. The Globe said that the Jackson family matriarch couldn’t bear to watch her 53-year-old son make a mockery of his superstar brother in public. A source told The Globe: "Katherine rushed backstage and coaxed Tito off. Then she gave him an earful and told him how stupid he looked playing alongside someone impersonating his own brother."

VICTORIA'S SECRETS
Catwalk rivals Naomi Campbell and Tyra Banks have finally retracted their claws.
For 14 years the two supermodels have hissed at each other. But last week, Campbell agreed to appear on Banks' syndicated talk show to discuss their feud. Insiders say the beauties agreed that their handlers had pitted them against each other because they were two of the few black stars in the business.
Wednesday night at the Victoria's Secret fashion show, fashionistas were stunned to see them hugging.
Banks confided, "This was the first time I've been in a room with Naomi when I didn't fear her."
The two veterans had more to fear from younger challengers. Campbell sparked whispers when she went off to do her own makeup. Some are convinced that, at 35, she has had a little tuck and nip — or at least some injections. So she supposedly doesn't want anyone seeing her unvarnished.
Campbell's rep insists: "Naomi has had absolutely no work done. She's very open about her age. She calls herself 'Grandma.'
"She likes to do her own makeup because she learned from the masters in the 1980s."
Tyra, who's 31, also came in for some sniping. Since it was her last Victoria's Secret show, Heidi Klum presented her with some farewell angel wings. But little devils couldn't help but observe how much thinner new mom Klum looked than Banks.

"Tyra made sure that Victoria's Secret only gave her lingerie that hid her butt," hissed one spy.
Others, perhaps jealous of Banks' new talk show, objected to her entourage of manager, publicist, personal makeup and hair stylist, and, especially, her camera crew.
"Gisele Bundchen couldn't believe that Tyra's cameras were filming [backstage] when she was almost naked," says a source. "Gisele said, 'Get them out of here!'"
Banks' reps insist she caused no trouble.

And, if there's a little more jiggle on her, the guys in the audience, who included Usher, Lenny Kravitz and Pharrell Williams, certainly weren't complaining.

THEATERS FEAR VIOLENCE DURING GET RICH OR DIE TRYING
The New York Daily News reports theater owners are reportedly concerned that 50 Cent's big-screen debut 'Get Rich or Die Tryin'' may inspire copycat violence, with some multiplexes indicating they may bring in extra security. "Concerns like this can apply to any movie with violence, though 'Get Rich' may get a little more scrutiny because of the reputation of the star," says Paul Dergarabedian, president of the box-office tracking firm Exhibitor Relations. "But all this does, really, is serve to create a mythology around the movie. It may create a mystique around it and make it a success, similar to 50 Cent's musical persona." Read more.

KANYE FIGHTS GOLD DIGGER..IN COURT
A deejay who was sued earlier this year by Kanye West to keep him from distributing some of West's unreleased songs has filed a countersuit against the rapper.
Eric "E-Smoove" Miller disputes West's contention that the two didn't have a contract. In Miller's lawsuit, he argues that West worked for and with Miller in the mid-1990s on recordings of 10 songs, including "Ho!!!" and "Stop Frontin'."

Attorneys for the Grammy-winning West claim Miller offered the songs to distributors using a fake contract with West's fake signature.
Miller's countersuit, filed Oct. 28, claims Miller co-authored the recordings and that West agreed Miller's company would own them.

West's lawsuit seeks at least $1.3 million and to ban Miller from using West's name or voice in connection with the recordings. His attorney, Philip Hoffman, said the countersuit is without merit because there has to be a written contract to use West's work or his name and there is no such agreement.
Miller, who owns Focus Music Group in Richton Park, is seeking $10.48 million and wants to be allowed to profit from the recordings.

BRAVO GETS A LITTLE COLOR THIS SEASON
THE Bravo program,Inside the Actor's Studio, which begins taping its 12th season later this month will welcome Dave Chapelle, Queen Latifah and Martin Lawrence among the talent scheduled to appear in the hot seat for the upcoming season, it was announced Monday.
Other invited guests include Barbara Walters, Al Pacino and “The Producers” stars Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane.
"The 12th season is very special for 'Inside the Actors Studio' because it has such an unusual range," says Lipton. "From the iconic work of Al Pacino to the sharp contemporary comedy - and commentary - of Dave Chappelle and Queen Latifah, to the historic presence of Barbara Walters, to the hilarity of Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick, to the unbridled brilliance of Martin Lawrence, I suspect the show and I are in for a hell of a ride."

THE "DESPERATE" REPLACEMENT
Veritable unknown Nashawn Kearse will replace actor Page Kennedy on Desperate Housewives, who was let go from the ABC show by its producers on Friday. Kearse has appeared in small roles on TV's Entourage (as Saigon's cousin), Law & Order: Criminal Intent and Deadline as well as in the movies Taxi (as a cop in Harlem) and Marci X, according to Variety.

Kennedy, 28, was dismissed after a "thorough investigation by the studio," the show's publicist Janet Daily told the Associated Press. She did not say what the investigation was about. Kennedy, who joined Housewives this season, played Caleb, a character being held in the basement of Wisteria Lane newcomer Betty Applewhite, played by Alfre Woodard. Kennedy's character has only been seen briefly – most memorably when he tried to escape his dreary confinement. Kennedy's final appearance on the show will be Sunday.

His rep Lana Walker told PEOPLE, "I no longer represent him" and declined further comment. In October Kennedy told PEOPLE he was unsure of his character's future on the show: "I don't know what I'm doing in the next episode, much less at the end off the season," he said. "Hey, if I’m out of work next season, hopefully a lot of people saw me so I can move on."

GLAM LIVING..."DIVA" DEMANDS

ONE of the two Oregon couples who won the $345 million Powerball Lottery last month are determined to save every cent they get — and even pitted the morning shows against each other in a bid to see whether "Today" or "Good Morning America" would shell out the most freebies.

Steven West and his wife, Carolyn, along with his in-laws Frances and Bob Chaney, immediately hired a publicist who sent the morning shows' bookers a list of demands that rivals any rock star's contract.

Doug Orr, the national director of marketing for the Multi-State Lottery Association, e-mailed "Today" execs: "I spoke with Curtis Bennett [the Wests' publicist] this morning again . . . I was able to convince Curtis that one of the smaller private jets really would not be nearly as comfortable as first class in the commercial airlines . . .

"It appears the Wests would like the following in order to give you their first live interview: [first class-tickets for] the Wests, three of their children, and Curt Bennett and his wife."
They also wanted: "Four rooms per evening for the entire stay at the Waldorf . . . Meal allowance for the entire [four-day] trip for the group . . . [perhaps] an NBC representative taking the Wests' group out to a nice restaurant as a possibility? The Wests really, really want to go to a 'Saturday Night Live' performance . . . The Wests would like theater tickets for a Broadway production. 'The Lion King' was mentioned . . . A guided tour of NYC . . . A limo to take them around during their entire stay."

A source from within "Today" said, "When [executive producer] Jim Bell heard about the demands he said, '[Bleep] them!' " Bell declined comment.
The Wests and their extended family did show up on "Good Morning America" yesterday morning.

ABC News spokesman Jeffrey Schneider said, "The facts are:
we [flew] the Wests and their kids commercial to NYC. We are putting them up at the Millennium Hotel in Times Square . . . We told the family we don't buy Broadway tickets for our guests or provide car service around New York except when we are moving them from one ABC location to another.
"Nevertheless, we are working all our contacts at NBC in an effort to get them 'Saturday Night Live' tickets, but so far NBC isn't returning our calls. Go figure."

GOSSIP 2 GO 11/9

The stars of Desperate Housewives have been rocked by an on-set sex scandal. Sources say Page Kennedy, who plays cellar-dweller Caleb, was fired and escorted from the set after apparently exposing himself to two women.The first incident allegedly happened when a young female assistant was sent to summon him for a scene.

A set insider said: "He opened his door and was standing there with his private parts hanging out of his shorts. Kennedy then allegedly made a sexually charged remark. A few days later, on October 28, Kennedy allegedly flashed to a female assistant director."She cursed at Page and reported it to the main producers," said the source.

"After word got out, the first girl admitted the same thing had happened to her. After an investigation Page was fired."Another source said: "People are mad because it took nearly a week to fire the guy. But the stars aren't cut up over him leaving." A rep for Kennedy, 28, who was in the film S.W.A.T and had roles in Six Feet Under, NYPD Blue and Showtime's Barbershop, said: "I have no comment. He's not going to talk about it."

MISS COKE AND A SMILE IS BACK AND WORKING AGAIN
Kate Moss has re-entered the working world after her stint in rehab, posing for Italian designer Roberto Cavalli on the Spanish island of Ibiza, according to statements from Cavalli and the supermodel's London spokesman.

Moss, 31, was accompanied by her 3-year-old daughter during the two-day fashion shoot last week, and, according to Cavalli: "looks absolutely fantastic. She is confident and stylish and she works well with the Cavalli look. She is back working and doing what she does best and, like usual, she was really professional."

The photographs are due to appear in fashion magazines next year, though on Nov. 18 pictures of Moss will appear on the 2006 Pirelli calendar. Images for the prestigious calendar were shot before a British tabloid printed photos alleging to show Moss snorting cocaine, reports the Associated Press. (Pirelli decided to retain Moss for its calendar.) Moss checked out of The Meadows clinic outside Phoenix, Ariz., on Oct. 27, and reportedly has jobs awaiting her in New York, Los Angeles and Florence, Italy.

SHARON OSBOURNE IS AFTER MADONNA
The Mirror reports that Sharon Osbourne has launched a new attack on Madonna. "It's like dressing up with her," Osbourne said. "One day you're in fu**ing gun gear, then you're in horsing gear, then you dress like a fu**ing dyke, then you dress like a hooker, then you're in a flowery dress reading kids' poetry looking like a fu**ing librarian - then you're back looking like an old hooker again. For fu**'s sake, who are you? At that age, you should know who you are, what bloody religion you are and what you represent. You can't be all things to everyone and true to yourself. I don't care who you are." Read more.

STAR JONES...DIVA...BITCH...FAKE...I'M SHOCKED!!(VIA PEREZHILTON)

The bizarre antics of TV diva Star Jones can be exposed in full for the very first time. The View co-host who was nicknamed Bridezilla after her gaudy wedding last year is so demanding she should now be known as FrankenStar, say insiders.

And, in the most personal investigation yet into the 43 year-old star, The National Enquirer can reveal she:

# WANTS to turn banker hubby Al Reynolds into a househusband when they adopt a child because she is the big breadwinner

# DEMANDS all her food cans are lined up in alphabetical order on her shelves with labels facing the front

# INSISTS she didn't cheat when she quickly lost 150lbs and denies speculation she had gastric bypass surgery

# HATES dogs, even though she bought a pooch named Pinkie to win favor with pet-loving fans.

"Star Jones is an example that hard-nosed greed and super-competitive ambition really are the best way to go," one of her critics grudgingly admitted. "She's so over-the-top in asking for what she wants that you actually have to admire her.
"Certainly she's not been afraid to set her sights on what she wants from life â€” and then grab it!"
Brought up in the projects of Trenton, New Jersey, Star overcame her humble roots to graduate from law school, pass the New York State bar exam and land a job in the Brooklyn District Attorney's office. After she first appeared on Court TV in 1991, there was no looking back.
She joined The View via NBC's Today show and when she began planning her November wedding last year, she quickly became known as Queen Of The Freebies. The first-time bride appeared to set about getting as much as she could for the least amount of money. She plugged her wedding planner, photographer and travel companies on the air and on her website, reportedly in return for their free participation.
One of Star's friends said: "She actually models herself on royalty " she wears a tiara whenever she can. Star loves being larger than life."
Tongues were also wagging at the rapid way Star shed weight.
"Star has now lost 150 lbs" and it happened so fast I don't think she could have shed it the conventional way through diet and exercise," said an insider.
"Her diet still consists of a lot of junk food. Only she eats smaller amounts than before. I think that's what has led to speculation that she had a gastric bypass.
"She admits to a breast reduction" but says she never had her stomach stapled."
Her hubby's sexuality has also been a big talking point.
"There had been gossip about Al being gay before they wed," said the insider. "The news they may be adopting a baby" and Al will be a stay-at-home dad " has people wondering about those rumors." The source said that behind the scenes Star can be a nightmare to live with. "She's obsessed about the way she looks and the way her $2.25 million dollar condo home looks.
"All the canned goods in her kitchen have to be lined up with the label facing out, and in alphabetical order. And each time a bottle of chilled Cristal champagne is taken from her refrigerator, it must be replaced right away."
Star can reinvent herself on a regular basis, said the insider. "She even drags a little dog named Pinkie to events where she knows she'll be photographed. It's an effort to appeal to pet lovers " even though she always said she hated dogs and cats," the insider added.
A spokesperson for Star said: "We make it a point to not comment on ridiculously untrue stories."

GLAM LIVING...BASKET CASES

If you're anything like me, gift-giving can be quite a daunting experience. I like to find that perfect gift, but what do you get for that hard-to-buy-for person or occasion? I've discovered a gift idea so versatile that it can be used for any occasion and is sure to please everyone on your list.

Creative gift baskets provide that personal gift to friends and family. They're even fun to make, too.
Deciding the theme of the basket is often the most difficult part. It's easiest to focus on hobbies and special interests, although food items can also be the focus of the basket. For some people, like my best friend, Debbie, food makes an excellent choice for a gift basket, as eating is one of her very special interests!

Need a gift for a hip hop music lover, a new car owner, a college student, or spa lover?You don't need a special occassion either,the best gifts are for no reason.How about a date basket,include some microwave popcorn,some candy,2 dvds,and an engagement ring...sorry ladies,I tried.
Gift baskets are an answer to your gift-giving prayers.
What kinds of things are included in a gift basket? The sky's the limit, along with your budget.

To bring a smile to a hip hop music lover's face, include a few of the latest cds,maybe an old school one, a hip hop magazine and a subsription to that magazine or just a bunch of things having to do with their fave artist,or get cute with a mug that says hip hop junkie,or a dime bag of weed...lol just kidding,the mug is weak.

A new car is a very exciting event, especially for the first-time buyer. What better way to celebrate the purchase than with a gift of air freshener, car wash, chamois, tire cleaner and an ice scraper? How about some sort of gift certificate for a wax job or a prepaid gas card?Put it all in a big bucket and your new car owner is set for the road.

Got a friend in college? Put together a "care package" gift basket. You might include a box of homemade cookies, a mug and hot chocolate mix and a variety of other snacks for those late-night study sessions. A framed picture of yourself and a phone card will help ease any signs of homesickness. (Throw in a roll of quarters for laundry and this basket will be the envy of the entire dorm.)

And how about that friend that loves the finer things in life and you can't afford her that Gucci slingback she's been hinting at? being that kind of girl,I could tell you first hand that a cute basket with various spa luxuries are a treat and very appreciated. A stress relief basket including a CD of soothing music, scented candles, bubble baths and scented lotions would surely be loved.

As you can see, ideas for creating gift baskets are virtually unlimited.
Once you have chosen all the gifts for your basket, it's time for the assembly. Choose a container which will hold your gifts. The container itself does not have to be expensive but should fit the theme of the gift, if possible.
If you can't think of a special container, a basket is generic choice. The other items you will need for the basket are packing paper, shredded colored paper, floral picks or greenery, 24- or 30- inch clear cellophane, and curling ribbon.

Because you want all the gift items visible, you'll need to fill the bottom of the basket with wadded packing paper. Press the paper firmly in place, leaving the top (about one fourth of the basket) exposed.
Add shredded paper to the top of the basket. Shredded paper is available in many colors and styles at most craft stores, but if you have access to a paper shredder you can make your own.
Now add the gifts. Taller items go in back, forming a "wall." Lean the medium-sized items against this wall, and place smaller gifts along the front rim of the basket. To enhance your basket, add floral picks or greenery to fill in any empty spaces.

To determine the length of the cellophane needed to wrap the basket, measure both sides of the basket and add 24 inches. Gather the cellophane on the front and back of the basket, overlapping the sides towards the back.
Using a piece of ribbon, tie the cellophane securely. Tape the sides of the cellophane down. To finish the basket, attach a few more lengths of ribbon and curl the ends.

When giving a gift,just remember to be creative and always keep the person in mind whom you're buying for.Christmas is coming...and it's only 8 months till my birthday.

ALBA READIES TO SHOW OFF THE GOODS,THE BADS AND HER UGLIES
JESSICA Alba is ready and willing to do a nude scene — but her father is holding back. "I'm going to have to face that when a big director who I really respect has an amazing story, it might be necessary to do a nude scene," Alba tells Britain's Zoo magazine. "But I probably couldn't sleep well at night being naked in [a movie]. My father would lose his mind." Not that she hasn't been asked to take it all off before: "The scripts I get are always for the whore, or the motorcycle chick in leather, or the horny maid. I get all those screenplays that start, 'Tawnya is in the shower. The water streams down her naked, perky breasts.' Somehow, I don't think this is happening to Natalie Portman." To the surprise of no one, the "Sin City" sexpot reveals that while auditioning for roles, she has been propositioned by several directors. "Of course I've been asked," she says. "But from a really crass point of view, if I just want to [bleep] somebody, I don't really want to see him in the morning, much less every day during filming."

CLIVE DAVIS SHUTS JAMIE FOXX DOWN
JAMIE Foxx was disappointed he couldn't get J Records to pay for a second day of filming on "Unpredictable" last week. Sources say Foxx, taking a break from filming "Miami Vice," was at Cipriani 23rd Street shooting the music video with director Hype Williams. Foxx's album drops Dec. 6. "Hype told him the video could be really hot if he could have one more day, but that's another couple hundred thousand dollars and J Records said no," our spy said. After Foxx was turned down, he "pouted the rest of the day" and started mimicking J Records head Clive Davis.

CAM'RON WISHES PASTOR MURDA MASE WELL
Waiting for a reunion of former Children of the Corn members and childhood friends Cam'ron and Mase? Don't hold your breath. If you listen to the latest G-Unit mixtape, it sounds like Murda Mase was throwing a subliminal jab towards Killa Cam with the line "This is Murda ni--a, I named you Killa." Cam is laughing Mase off. "I can't even feed into Mase," the head of the Diplomats said last week. "We played you last year. We gave you a shot to get back at us. G-Unit is not going to do nothing to help you really put us out of business. We not going nowhere. So Mase is not really on the radar.""You talking about you gonna slap somebody and [having a love affair with] Brandy. And just about seven months ago, you was holding hands on Hot 97 praying," Cam continued to scoff. Killa also says that Mase tried to sign with the Diplomats this summer. "We got pictures of Mase this June with the Back Like Cooked Crack shirt on, holding his fist up," Cam revealed. "He was signing the Purple Haze CD, with the song 'Take Em to Church' on the CD. I can't feed into Mase. I wish you the best of luck, God bless you — when I say 'God bless you,' I mean it for real. I hope this works out for you and that's the end of it. I don't have nothing to say about him. If anything happens on our end, probably one of my dudes might air him out on a [mix]tape or something. But I'm done." Mase could not be reached for comment. ...

THE REALITY SHOW...SET FOR LIFE

With the airwaves heavily populated by reality tv, the need for more interesting and outrageous people and situations are in demand.My fave reality shows are the ones that involve celebrities being as real as they'd want us to see.From Surreal Life to Celebrity Fit Club these "stars" put themselves out there for us to laugh,judge and point at...like a zoo for former celebs,I can see the scenario now "daddy what's that there?" and dad answers "oh that's a cute black boy-man-asaurus.His name is Emmanuel Lewis and that's Gary Coleman..that empty spot is reserved for Ray J." LOLOL.

Anyway,I had an idea for such a show,it's called Set For Life.This one would be based on people that hit the jackpot and suddenly became rich and famous,they would live in one apartment without their fortunes.That's not so interesting right? But wait,there's more.These people that hit the jackpot are not lottery winners but people that married rich and would not be shit without their "sugar daddies".If you look closely at each pic,you will see that each jackpot winner has a smile that can't be changed and why shouldn't they..they think that they are all.. SET FOR LIFE

THE PLOT
Castmates would have to move out of ther fab residences and into a regular building with no ammenities.They would be forced to pay when the check comes at dinner and return to the jobs they had before meeting their saviors.Plus...they would have to date people in their league.

THE CAST

KEVIN FEDERLINE-wife Britney even paid for her wedding ring and cake and outfit and home and cars and...

ERIC BENET-struck platinum,not when he recorded his album but when he met and married Halle Berry.He was so scared of losing that lifestyle he sued for alimony.

AL REYNOLDS-would love to be put into this house of mostly men.Without the fame and money of wife Star Jones where would Al be...the Village?

NICK LACHEY-was oh so happy to be married to (at the time) mediocre pop starlet,Jessica Simpson.But after her sudden rise to fame he became more known as Jessica's hubby than former boy band stud.

BOBBY BROWN-should be very wealthy,he has not had to spend a dime in the past 14 years since marrying Whitney.

Let's not forget the women!
KIMORA LEE SIMMONS-has been called a former supermodel and yet no one has seen her pre Russell Simmons.From the moment she met him she went from nobody to a mogul in her own rite.

KIM PORTER-another "model" that has "modeled" her way into millions,by hooking up with Diddy.although she doesn't have the ring,she has made wise investment decisions by having kids.No matter how many times they've broken up,Kim ain't going anywhere till she gets what she's entitled to..take that, take that.

VANESSA CARLTON'S MARATHON WORKOUT
THE TRAINING
Carlton is not just hoping to finish New York's signature road race. She wants to run a sub-four-hour time, something her personal trainer and former Olympian Michael Gostigian thinks is a slam dunk. "She's done everything according to plan and she's on track to do 3:47," says Gostigian, a pentathlete in the '88, '92 and '96 Olympic Games. "She kept up with the training. She's very disciplined and she dedicates herself to taking care of her body. I'm really proud of her because she had a rough summer with all her shows." Gostigian says that Carlton averaged 35-40 miles per week ("she peaked at about 50 miles") and that her weekly New York Sports Club workouts comprised three parts: tempo runs (hills and intervals), long runs (typically 1.5-2 hour runs) and recovery jogs (30-40 minutes).
THE DIET
Breakfast: Oatmeal with soy milk and flax seed. Strawberries, blueberries, pomegranate. Lunch: Grilled chicken salad, energy bar. Dinner: Chicken or fish, vegetables, salad, soup. Beverages: Water, green tea. Occasional indulgence: Chicken parmigiana.

WHITNEY...THE MUSICAL!
It's almost 20 years since Whitney Houston, the biggest-selling artiste of the nineties, burst onto the music scene with Saving All My Love. Now the R'n'B star plans to take on the likes of Abba with her very own musical. Fully recovered after stints in rehab, Whitney plans a new album of original songs in early 2006, but fans will also be delighted to hear that she's sanctioned plans for a musical based on her many hits. Whitney's also planning three new movie roles next year - her first foray back onto the big screen since the nineties, when she starred in The Bodyguard. She revealed: "They may be small parts but I want roles with character now not just name pieces."

Kelly said he left the stage because he saw Jay-Z fans in the audience waving guns and was pepper-sprayed as he was heading back to the stage. The new suit is on top of the $75 million lawsuit filed last year after Jay kicked him off their 'Best of Both Worlds' tour. Read more.

BRANDY TURNED BROTHER INTO A "THUG"
Sister 2 Sister magazine caught up with Ray J for a Q&A and asked the brother of Brandy if he thought the entertainment industry has dealt him a fair hand when it comes to judging his musical talent and acting prowess. "Yeah, I do. I think everything that's been written about my career thus far has done me justice," he responded. "Right now, I'm focusing on developing talent and having fun with what I do. I really didn't like the scene back in the day. I was probably too young to appreciate it and I rebelled against Bran and the whole positive image thing. I wanted to flip it, go way left and be raw with my image! I'm a bad boy in a sense. I like to have fun and wild out in the clubs and party with my friends. When all the success happened for Bran, I started hanging out in the streets with the wrong crowd. We grew up in Carson, [CA], which is about three minutes away from Compton. The more Brandy succeeded, the more I started hanging with the wrong crowd and doing bad things. I got in mad trouble and ended up having to move out of the neighborhood. I speak about it on my album." Read more.

RUSSELL AND KIMORA STRIP
Russell Simmons and wife, Kimora Lee, bought a house on LA's Sunset Strip for close to $5.3 million. The gated five-bedroom, four-bathroom Mediterranean-style villa was built in 1988 on 5,800 square feet. The house is "fully equipped for entertaining," according to the Multiple Listing Service entry, complete with an outdoor kitchen, a fireplace and a pool, plus a motor court with room for five cars, in addition to a two-car garage. The couple still has an East Coast home in New Jersey. Their former 13-room, 7,000-square-foot Manhattan penthouse, famously shown on the MTV series "Cribs," was damaged in the Sept. 11 attacks but was renovated before Simmons put it on the market at $11 million in June.

DUFF LOOKING ROUGH
Star magazine profiled how Hilary Duff has lost her cute, perky, and wholesome look she had in her 'Lizzie McGuire' days. "Young girls adore Hilary," a Duff family friend tells Star. "So many of them are wondering where the old Hilary went. She seems down to bones and teeth." Read more.

CAM'RON CHANGING HIS TUNE...OH BOY
The day before a leaked police affidavit revealed that a D.C. Protective Service officer witnessed Cam’ron’s shooting during Howard’s homecoming weekend, the rapper said he is no longer 100 percent sure that the incident was an attempted carjacking, as he had previously thought. READ MORE

ALICIA KEYS' MOST EMBARASSING MOMENT...NO, NOT THE PRO-ACTIV ADS
OK! magazine caught up with Alicia Keys for a Q&A, and asked the singer about her last embarrassing moment. "I was in DC promoting my second album with a roomful of journalists," Keys explained. "There was this gorgeous piano, a gorgeous ice sculpture in the background, and I was playing, everything was perfect. These people in the back kept talking. They were being rude, so I kept saying, 'Hey I'm doing a show here. What's going on back there?' I'm joking, and the audience laughed, but they kept talking! So I got up - and I tripped and fell over in front of all these journalists. I had my mic in my hand, and it hit the floor. it sounded like I knocked out all my teeth! It was a bad spill. The whole room gasped. Finally, I got up, and of course, I had to say: 'I keep on fallin'...' The crowd laughed. Some of them thought it was part of the show!"

NEW JACKSON SINGLE ALMOST DONE
After weeks of announcements, Michael Jackson is now said to be close to completing his charity single for Hurricane Katrina relief as he works from his new base of operations in the Middle East.

"All that remains is for two or three more artists to do their tracks, and Michael will then add his vocals," Jackson's Los Angeles-based spokeswoman, Raymone K. Bain, tells the Associated Press. "He is now on the fast track, and we're happy with the progress."

Jackson, working through global satellite and phone connections with the 12 recording artists who are participating, last week coordinated recording sessions with artists visiting L.A. for the Black Entertainment Television awards. The single now is expected to be released next month. Representatives for Snoop Dogg and R. Kelly confirmed to AP that those artists have participated in the recording sessions for Jackson – who, according to Bain, has rewritten the song several times and is changing the title from the original, "From the Bottom of My Heart," to something new and undisclosed.

Jackson's plan is to provide disaster aid through three funds: the Bill Clinton-George Bush Katrina Fund, the Push-Excel Hurricane Katrina College Relief Fund and a disaster fund set up by the National Association of Recording Arts and Sciences. Since being cleared of child-molestation charges at trial last June, Jackson, 47, has maintained a low profile and reputedly has switched his residence from his Neverland Ranch in California to Bahrain.

RHIANNA, B-LIST POP STAR WANTS TO BECOME B-LIST ACTRESS
Rihanna might be a formidable force on the music charts, but the Barbados-born beauty is learning that making the leap into acting is harder than it looks — even when you're playing yourself."It's weird, but it's also fun. I'm really enjoying it," Rihanna told MTV News of her cameo role in the third and latest installment of "Bring It On," tentatively titled "Bring It On Yet Again." In the sassy cheerleading/dance flick, which is currently filming in downtown Los Angeles, a pair of rival squads compete for a chance to appear in Rihanna's upcoming television special. It stars Beyoncé's sister Solange Knowles ("Johnson Family Vacation," "The Proud Family") and Hayden Panettiere ("Ice Princess," "Raising Helen").READ MORE

FORMER STAR TREK ACTOR COMES OUT...GIVES NEW MEANING TO THE BLACK HOLE
That catch phrase will never sound the same now that George Takai has boldly gone where no Star Trek actor has gone before. Takai, who played Sulu on the original TV series and in six movies, came out last week in the pages of Los Angeles gay and lesbian magazine Frontiers. The 68-year-old Japanese-American said his current role in a production of "Equus" inspired him to discuss his sexuality publicly.

FAB TO FLAB

Hollyhood is filled with some of the most sexiest stars.From the early days of Marilyn Monroe to Halle Berry,a beautiful face with a svelte,hot body has always been the ticket to stardom.But I've noticed something,that image is not so easliy kept.A lot of these sex kittens face the battle that most of us go through..well not me,I'm perfection.The battle is with food,the battle of the bulge.Is it possible that the world is ready to change it's perception of sex appeal and finally accept a plus sized diva as a full blown sex siren?Hell NO! We buy into all of those magazine airbrushings and digital reimaging and we want to see our stars looking like how we paid them to look.We like our rapper thugs dirty and our athletes muscular.The stars we deem as sexy, get paid millions,get you a trainer,a good nutritionist,a little lipo or somethin'..get it together bitches!

Janet has dealt with weight issues since she was a teenager.Her on again off again affair with cheeseburgers have long been the subject of much negative press.This a recent picture that I found.I pray to Jenny Craig that it's not real.

Beyonce has always been a Popeye's biscuit from plus size.Her weird stances and poses on the red carpet and in videos that she does to hide her flab sometimes remind me of Gumby.

Mariah's weight, like her voice, has been all over the scale.You would think that with her love of all things tight and short,that her stomach would be.She is an event dieter and will lose 15lbs quickly for an event.Who could forget when she painted on abs for a performance.

Let's not forget some of the former kittens that also have been drafted into the battle of the bulge:
Jackee of 227 &Kirstie Allie- have both had dramaticaly embarassing public diets but in the end they both look great.I am actually proud when I look at those Jenny Craig commercials and I see Kirstie's latest body,she looks great.

Delta Burke-played the shady,wisecracking,vain,concieted beauty queen on the 80's show, Designing Women.Her weight gains have lost her a career.Fans could bot see their fave glamour girl looking less than that.

HOLLYHOOD BLOGAZINE

STRANGE BUT TRUE

I found this article on Maxim Online. It talks about a man name Brian Zembic,who is a professional gambler that not only does traditional betting but bizarre ass shit also.I found the article both funny as hell and sickening and I'm sure you will too.

The article's a little long but mos def interesting...pics are at the bottom.Brian Zembic was bet that he couldn't last 1 year with breast implants for $100,000...he still has them and he loves them...8 years later!

Zembic, 44, has every reason to marvel at his tits. They have, after all, made him a legend. As constant companions, they entered his life when he and his friends—a motley rabble of wealthy Vegas gamblers who bet on pretty much anything,were discussing how nuts it was that their friend Martha, and for that matter women in general, went under the knife for a bigger rack. Were breasts really that important?

I said, Fuck, yeah! The only reason Martha gets attention is because she has boobs, recalls Zembic. And if I had them, I would get just as much attention. Even more. Because the whole world revolves around boobs.

So one of his pals, a high-stakes backgammon player, issued a put-your-money-where-your-mouth-is challenge. He said he would give Zembic $100,000 if he got breast implants. At first Zembic hedged, but eventually a meeting was called, a titty tribunal and the terms were set.

Zembic would get the money if he lasted a year with the globes intact. All he had to do was pay for the surgery itself.So he did. To the astonishment of everyone, he forked out a few grand for a pair of C-cups. That was in 1997. Eight years ago. When Titanic came out. Yet today he still has the tits.You know why? Because I can’t afford to have the damn things taken out! He iss grinning. No, seriously, it is because I hate operations. That general anesthetic, it makes me so sick. And now I had them in so long that there is all this scar tissue underneath...

Zembic drops his head in a rare moment of contemplation. You know what? I cannot even remember what it is like not having them. Is it really eight years? Shit. That is nearly a fifth of my life. That is a long time to have boobs.Brian Zembic is a unique and exceptional man,not so much because he got hooters, but because, on him, they seem almost incidental. He is loud and manic, the center of attention. He is a brilliant sleight-of-hand magician, constantly whipping out a deck of cards. He is a Ping-Pong coach and world-class blackjack and backgammon player.

Gambling has paid for everything he owns, including a beautiful four-bedroom home in Las Vegas with a yellow Hummer parked out front.But his pals do not call him the Wiz simply for his gambling and magic skills. The man with the mammaries also has an uncanny ability to get hot women giggling their way into the sack.It is unbelievable, says his friend Derek, a professional blackjack player. It is not as though he is good looking. But he gets away with murder. He gets them laughing, pulls a few cards out of their cleavage, and next thing you know he is cupping their tits and they are away.

Zembic was always a tit man. I was breast-fed until the age of six, he kids. Having his own pair has done nothing to dilute his fetish. I still live for nice breasts, even though my own don’t do anything for me, he says. That was my big worry about getting the implants: How the hell am I going to get some chi-chi? But, you know, I am shocked,there is never been a girl who has not enjoyed them. The boobs help. Now if I think I have no shot with a girl, I use the boobs. If I had them removed, I would be like, Jesus Christ, how am I going to get a date now?

At first glance (long, disbelieving stare is more like it), it is tough to imagine the breasts are such a chick magnet. They are hairy, for starters. I shave them when I have a date, Zembic says. I am a gentleman like that. So what is the chick appeal? The curiosity factor? Or the fact that he is a minor celebrity with a book,The Man With the $100,000 Breasts and Other Gambling Stories,named after his startling appendages? A lot of things contribute, he explains. But I think it is also because they are all lesbians. I am serious. They play around with them, they suck them, they rub theirs on mine. And they get to do all that without feeling like they are lesbians.

Does it feel good to have women sucking your tits?Not really, but I never had any feeling there before, he says. I just fake it to keep it going. It is a turn on for me to watch two girls. So when I am with a girl, I pretend it is not me and I am on the outside, watching two lesbos going at it.

In addition to fame and pseudo-lesbo action, Zembic's jugs have brought him a small fortune. After the book came out, he appeared on The Man Show, The Howard Stern Radio Show, and Inside Edition, among others. He posed for both The Star newspaper and Helmut Newton. Then there were all the side bets. For example, a high-rolling pal gave him $2,000 to flash his tits in the middle of a casino.

So far, he estimates, his snoobs have earned him about $270,000.But it has not all been cash and chicks. As any well-endowed woman will tell you, having a mondo rack has its disadvantages. To keep his gazongas hidden in public, Zembic has to dress a certain way,not in cleavage enhancing bras, but spandex tops and billowy shirts. His outfits are odd(think hospital orderly) but he insists that is not out of embarrassment.

Pens in his shirt pocket chafe, and jogging is painful without a sports bra. As for swimming or getting a tan, he has not done either in eight years. And airport security is always treacherous.But these are minor irritations. In general, the boobs appear to have treated him well. Ironically, they have even kept him in shape. I can not put on weight, because then my boobs look like shit, he says. I want my boobs to look good, even if I am the only one who sees them! Now I know why girls are always dieting. It is for their boobs. I am serious. I have an insight into women now. Girls can relate to me, too. They talk to me the way they talk to gay guys. The only difference is, afterward, I try to bang em'.

The simple truth is that Zembic is attached to his tits.If I ever looked in the mirror and thought, What the fuck am I doing with these?, then I would get them out, he says. But I got to say, I like them. They are mine, they are me. What can I say?Nevertheless, the clock is ticking on the most famous knockers in gambling history. He recently accepted a bet from pal Michael Sall, a high-stakes gin player, that throws the future of his chest into question.

Zembic groans just thinking about it. I get $50,000 if I go to a D-cup, or $10,000 if I take them out. But I have to pay $20,000 if I leave them in. He looks pained. I got till February…

BRIAN'S OTHER BIZARRE BETS
On a flight I bet a buddy $2,000 I could get a stranger to give me a hand job. I picked out a girl and approached her. When the movie comes on, my buddy looks over and sees a towel over me and her hand working away on me.

For $3,000 I ran a mile through the streets of Philly in only panties and a bra. If I got stopped by the cops and did not finish, I would lose the $3,000, so I practiced the safest route all week. The cops didn't bother me though.

How long do you think it takes to drink a professional Frisbee full of beer? People say, like, one or two minutes. So I bet them they cannot do it in 15 minutes. Try it. You can't do it. You can fit about five cans of beer in there.

Someone bet me $14,000 I couldn't live in a bathroom for a month. The guy I bet had his buddies take horrible craps in the place. After six days they gave me $7,000 to stop the bet. No one thought I'd last that long.

Tyra Banks isn't the only supermodel showing entrepreneurial prowess outside of the world of fashion. Ford model Datari Turner, who has appeared in print campaigns for Tommy Hilfiger, Kenneth Cole, Hugo Boss, Armani and Abercrombie & Fitch, is expanding his portfolio in the world of television and film.

Most don't know, but Turner is the creator and co-executive producer of the BET reality series, 'Ultimate Hustler,' which is hosted and also produced by rap mogul Damon Dash. "Other than 'The Apprentice,' we don't have a show on air that is teaching people how to build companies. Even 'The Apprentice' is teaching people how to work for somebody else," Turner shared about the show's concept.
The Oakland, Calif. native, who was been romantically linked to 'American Idol' Fantasia in the tabloids, conducted extensive research on African-American millionaires in this country while creating the series. "I started looking at the richest African Americans in the country, starting with Bob Johnson and Oprah Winfrey, and I realized that a lot of the other rich African Americans after that were hip-hop moguls. With Sean (Diddy) Combs, Damon Dash, Russell Simmons, Master P and other people like that, combined they have one year of college between them all. I'm not trying to condone not going to school, but I wanted to do a show where we took people who didn't go to school at all and mix them with people who are in school and those who do have degrees and teach them how to build companies from scratch," he explained.
The 'Ultimate Hustler' has had one of the highest-rated premieres for a new series debut on BET, second only to 'College Hill.' In addition to the reality series, Turner is also producing a made-for-television bio-picture on Dash. "I spoke to Terrence Howard about playing Damon and then got him on the phone with Damon. He gave me the verbal and said he would do it," Turner announced. "I even spoke to Anthony Mackie ('She Hate Me') about playing Jay-Z."

KARRINE STEFFANS HAS SEEN IT ALL...NOW I DO TOO
As I've reported before,Steffans is featured on the cover of Smooth magazine's sex issue and in a steamy interview with Jawn Murray. Music's most notorious ex-video girl drops a few new names, addresses the ambush on New York's HOT 97 radio station and opens up about the porn clip of her and adult film star Mr. Marcus circulating on the Internet.
During the interview, Steffans revealed that her nickname for Fox Sports Network's 'The Best Damn Sports Show Period' host and Los Angeles morning show host John Salley is Mr. Snuffleupagus. "And I've never been with John, we're only friends. But if I hear something like that about you and you're my guy friend, I am going to ask you to pull it out and let me see it. I have seen a lot of things in my life but nobody is going to beat John Salley on that one. He wears that crown."

TYRA GAINS 200LBS FOR UNDERCOVER EXPOSE

After having been outfitted in a fat suit, Banks told the Associated Press, "I started walking down the street and within 10 seconds, a trio of people looked at me, snickered, looked me right in my eye and started poin
