O1LT.COM "HOT AND BLACK" NEWS RECAP-STAR JONES/THE SOURCE MAGAZINE/FLAVOR OF LOVE/RYAN CAMERON/BRAD AND ANGELINA!!!!!!!

Grab your gold grillz and clock medallions because “Flavor of Love” season II premiered last night and I was on my perch front and center to watch 20 girls make complete fools of themselves. The one thing I immediately noticed this season is that Flave has the title of producer which gave him the ability to hand pick his 20 girls, could it be that Flave might actually have some money this season so that the chick he picks will stick around? But I have one questions, how can Flavor Flave get 20 dates and I can't even get one? Where's the justice in that? In case you missed it here is a sneak peak. Tune in Sunday nights at 10:00 on VH1. EPISODE ONE

At this point I am beating a dead horse and frankly I am tired of talking about it. Star and Al are in the news again, over more homosexual allegations. Apparently Al got a late night male visitor at his home at 4 A.M someday last week, well not exactly his home because the “nocturnal visitor” (not my words, I’m not that corny) went to the wrong floor. Star and Al’s neighbor awoke to repeated door bell rings: "He was a really big black guy in a bucket hat," said the mole, who glimpsed Reynolds' gentleman caller on his TV monitor via the building's closed-circuit cameras. Of course the neighbor spoke to the New York Post, and of course it’s been published in the infamous “Page Six”. I will just say this and be forever done with the Star and AL saga. It is my opinion that Star is looking really stupid and desperate to keep this, closeted homosexual (again my opinion) around. I can understand her sticking with him over one rumor, because hasn’t every male celebrity at one point or another had the gay rumor follow them? But it’s been almost two years and the rumors are getting worse and worse. She is losing ALL creditability and needs to cut him loose if she is ever going to resurrect her career. Maybe I should mail her a divorce kit from Staples(insert laughter here) FULL STORY


How does one of the most influential magazines in hip hop become one of the biggest hip hop jokes of 2006? The Source Magazine known for its famous mic review system that could boost or destroy a rap career back in the day, has fallen off severely. It seems now that bankruptcies, sexual harassment lawsuits, as well as physical altercations have overshadowed all the contributions The Source has made in hip hop. Last week The Source went up for sale to the highest bidder, but a temporary injunction has that idea on hold. Now the sexual harassment case filed against The Source magazine by two of its former female employees is back on schedule to start in October. FULL STORY

Damn! Im a little late on this one, but Fat Joe has left Atlantic Records and has signed with Virgin Records. I like Fat J, I really do, I dont know why he isn't more successful then other rappers who don't have half his talent. I hope Virgin knows what there doing with marketing and advertising for Fat J. Atlantic really dropped the ball on his last two albums.

People are pissed off at Brad Pitts production company (trust me this ties in with the “hot and black” theme just keep reading) because Angelina Jolie has been cast to play a bi-racial woman in the motion picture “A Mighty Heart.” A quick synopsis of the film: “A Might Heart” will tell of Mariane Pearl's experience after her husband was abducted by Islamic extremists in Pakistan in early 2002. A month later, his captors released a video depicting his murder. Pearl, who is reportedly of Afro Cuban/Dutch heritage, was pregnant with their son Adam at the time. The complaint echoed by many, is out of all the bi-racial actors out there like Thandie Newton, Halle Berry, and Jennifer Beals, why would caucasian Angelina Jolie get the role. It’s an interesting argument, but hello people she’s sleeping with the producer! Isn’t that one of the perks of sleeping with your boss? FULL STORY



“Well as I live and breathe!” Is my mother the only woman who used to say that when something surprising happened? Well I think that saying is very appropriate now, because according to AOL Black Voices/Black College View, R&B soul singer D’Angelo is in NYC where he is recording new tracks for Common and Q-Tips fourth coming albums. Fresh out of rehab the artist who we all saw simulate oral sex in the music video "Untitled (How Does It Feel)” is ready to make a come back. I hope the brutha comes back hard, because he made some great music.FULL STORY
