Jaime Foxx is claiming that he would give up bachelorhood to be with Halle Berry. My question is, um…wouldn’t we all do the same? But I know from personal experience that everything that glitters isn’t gold. I love some me some Halle Berry, but one has to look at her with their heads cocked to the side wondering what’s really going on there. I mean two marriages and two divorces? They weren’t entirely Justice and Eric’s fault. Full Story

Mariah Carey is gearing herself up for her new tour which debuts on Saturday in Miami. “Adventures of Mimi: The Voice, the Hits, the Tour” is Mariah’s first time tour in over…well hell I don’t know, but it’s been awhile. When I first heard about her tour I didn’t want to go. I just imagined Mariah standing on stage stiff as a board fluttering her damn hand, while her back up dancers did all the work. But I’ve gotten feedback from behind the scenes and I’m being told she is actually bringing the heat and now I want to go. Oh well, such is life. You can find about all the details HERE

And the drama from Star (former Radio DJ from “Star and BucWild” Morning Show) doesn’t end….. *No longer facing charges for threatening the four-year-old daughter of a rival DJ, former radio jock Star is now setting his sights on revenge against those who dared to speak out against his heinous act.FULL STORY Am I the only one who believes in cutting your losses and moving on? There is always satelite radio my man.

Speaking of Star......

Lawd, Star is in defending her marriage again. Yesterday I reported that Star and Al’s marriage wont make it into 2007(my opinion) but today she is fuming at reports that her marriage is almost over. She has gone on the defensive yet again. Star released a statement today saying the rumors are “"categorically false" and that they're being "generated by someone for vindictive reasons alone." Jones and Reynolds say their lawyers are "investigating" the source and that they are "very close to exposing the individual who has perpetrated them." But here’s the thing, if you have to release a statement almost every week about the status of your marriage all that does is confirm that there are in fact, problems. Can we say Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson? Can we say Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes; can we say Carmen Elecktra and Dave Navvarro? FULL STORY

Do you think Vivica can be the next Oprah? Uh….No! According to published reports Vivica A. Fox has had meetings with several studios discussing hosting a syndicated daytime talk show. I’m sorry V, but I don’t just don’t see it. We can barely stand Tyra (I love you T, but let’s keep it real) we couldn’t handle another African-American female rookie in the world of daytime talk. I want to watch somebody with experience, who knows what they are doing and is going to make me want to run home to watch, ok not run because I have TIVO, but you know what I mean. Unless she's talking about plastic surgery (did you pick up on that? Good!) I wont be watching. FULL STORY

Are we watching “Countdown to Lockdown” Season II? Did anybody watch season one? I watched the first episode but found my self day dreaming while watching it. If you were one of the hundred people who tuned then this news will interest you. FULL STORY

Are you finished with your marriage? Do you want to get out but don’t have any money? Are you aware that you can go to Staples and get a Divorce kit? Now listen I know this is the “Hot and Black” site, but dammit this kit is so damn splabovian (what Michael Jackson calls black people according to court documents) I had to talk about it. I don’t care what anyone says, this is the reason our divorce rate is so high in this country. Why stick it out when you can walk on the down your local office supply store, pick up a kit, fill it out and your done?? If you’re on the edge and want a divorce but think you cant afford it, think again my friend.DIVORCE KIT
