O1LT.COM "HOT AND BLACK" REPORT-TOCARRA/WENDY WILLIAMS/WHITNEY/MARIAH/JERMAINE DUPRI/THE GAME/DEATH CLOCK!!!

By L.T. Dinwiddie

Well it’s finally happened—the pictures of former America’s Top Model Tocarra have surfaced. Guess which salacious site has brought them to the masses—none other then mediatakeout.com. Word broke out about Tocarra being photographed topless for quite some time now, but finally they have been posted. Rumor has it that Tocarra was dropped by Lane Bryant (or was it Ashley Stewart?) over these photo’s.

Lets hope these pictures don’t get in the way of her career…oops I forgot they seemed to already have. If you’ve watched VH1’s Celebrity Paranormal then you’ve seen the “fabulous” model exhausting her fifth teen minutes of fame. FULL STORY

Speaking of VH1.......

As you know I am a die hard Wendy Williams fan. I just love all the buffoonery and high-octane entertainment of her show. From celebrity gossip, to advice hour and my particular favorite—the hour of truth, Wendy has mastered the balance of dishing out all the celebrity dirt from a uniquely engaging prospective. Her new show on VH1 debuted on October 20th and while her premiere episode was lackluster, she came out hard last night. I was truly entertained!! Check out an all new episode this Friday November 3rd @ 11:30 pm. FULL STORY

I bet you 5.00 that John Legend will fall victim to the "Sophomore Jinx"!! His singles arent commerical at all and I dont like it!!CHECK OUT HIS NEW VIDEO HERE!

Is Whitney Houston cleaning up her act? That’s what perezhilton.com is reporting. They have snagged three recent photos of the former majestic singing sensation. She’s looking good—I can’t deny it. But, let’s just see if her voice sounds as good as she looks. FULL STORY

I am starting to look at Naomi the same way I used to look at Foxxy Brown—with utter disgust. With all that money why does she feel that she needs to show her ass every chance she gets. We as black people (and I’m assuming all of you guys are mostly black right?) can’t say that white people/police are always out to get us—because this chick has served a few body blows and have yet to get in any serious trouble.FULL STORY

Once a Diva always a Diva right? Mariah Carey seemed to have rubbed promoters the wrong way while in Hong Kong recently to promote her almost two year old album The Emancipation of MiMi. Apparently her Diva demands were too much for the promoter. According to the Daily News spy, the singer “was making demands like Streisand," calling for special spring water, furniture, lighting, and armed escorts. I have witnessed first hand how outrageous Mariah can be. But I don’t hate on her demands because Barbara Streisand, Toni Braxton, Cher, Janet Jackson, even Beyoncé Knowles also have outrageous requests. FULL STORY

Eminem celebrated the two year anniversary of "Shade 45," his Sirius Satellite Radio station, by appearing on the channel this week and dropping some bombs.
In addition to reconfirming (as has been previously reported) that he's had sexual relations with Mariah Carey and Brittany Murphy, the rapper also revealed that he's screwed both Tara Reid AND Britney Spears (presumably not at the same time).
No word yet from either of the ladies' camps. FULL STORY

First off I can’t help but notice all the typo’s on this message. Usually when a message has typo’s particularly internet messages, you have to look at it with a sideways stare. I personally don’t believe it, but we will see.

I don’t know why I am even reporting this story. I know most of you don’t know who the hell Cheri Dennis is—hell I only mildly know who she is. The good people over at vibe.com have posted a story on Dennis, check it out!

Hold your head, fellas. We hear that the sexy Cheri Dennis, who dropped an album this year on Bad Boy, is into licky, not sticky. Is this another baseless, mean spirited gay rumor about a celebrity, which seems to hit the net every week and a half? C'mon, now - we don't play that at VC! This story comes straight (pun!) from a friend of VC who Cheri tried picking up at two music industry events. A call to Cherri's camp confirmed that the singer goes to gay clubs and lives the lifestyle pretty openly.

This is the trailer for the new hip-hop documentary DEATH OR DISHONOR. I got an advanced copy of this DVD and watched it this weekend.

Growing up in central New Jersey the street life wasn’t a stranger to me. Though I never directly participated in any illegal situations—I did have associates, dare I say it friends who were drug dealers. One of the main reasons why I never involved myself/they didnt involve me in anything shady was because I don't have the strength to endure jail. Call me weak--whatever! I just always knew that if I ever got caught up in anything illegal the minute the police would mention the word "jail" I would be sing like a canary. Snitchin was something you just didn’t do. Snitchin is and was viewed as a bigger offense then the crime. When I heard about this DVD I knew that I had to see it.

Death or Dishonor is an engulfing documentary that takes a look at the Stop Snitchin’movement that is rapidly growing within the hip-hop community. Many of the biggest hip-hop stars like Fat Joe, The Game, JadaKiss, Ja Rule, Young Jeezy, LiL Cease, Swizz Beats, and Suge Knight got involved in this project to explain the rules of the streets. Death or Dishonesty is a gritty and street-savvy documentary that I hope you take the time to watch. It is so serious there is even a website STOPSNITCHING.COM

Nas new song "Hip-Hop is Dead" has dropped. You can listen to a sample of it here. Its kinda hot-- I like the electric guitar he's got on the track.

I have never reported on Nicole Richie and her eating issues because I personally don’t care. But, it seems that a lot of you do—so I am talk about it a little bit. First off “it is what it is”—She obviously has an eating disorder (my opinion) and for her to claim otherwise is ridiculous. Nicole has recently has checked into a treatment facility to address her inability to gain weight, her publicist said Thursday. FULL STORY

Am I the only one who feels that Jay-Z is losing a lot of creditability over Beyoncé? From the million dollar Bentley, to Beyoncé being sloshed while in London as Jay-Z looked on. And now it’s getting even more out of control with Beyonce performing by Jay-Z’s side while in Australia—though you couldn’t see her face because she was covered in a hoodie and bandanna.

It is also being reported by Cindy Adams of the New York Post’s gossip section “Page Six” that Jay-Z has purchased his lady a two million dollar painting. For a couple who never wants to talk about their relationship publicly it looks they don’t have to. But, I tell you now—there is going to be a Jay-Z/Beyoncé backlash just you wait and see. I can smell it in the air. FULL STORY

Happy Halloween......

If you could find out your exact time of death would you want to know? I have found this website that will take your personal information like age, weight, smoker or non smoker– it will calculate your information and tell you exact day and time of death. Lets just say for argument sakes this site could provide accurate information regarding your exact day and time you are to die—what purpose would that serve? Check it out if you want but, it’s kind of creepy.FULL STORY
