First Wendy and now Jaime Foster Brown—this is so unreal to me!! In this business you find that a lot of people look up to sports figures, rappers, actors and singers to draw inspiration from. I personally draw inspiration from three people, and they all happened to be woman—Oprah Winfrey, Jaime Foster Brown, and Wendy Williams. While some of you may laugh at my selections, their high level of achievements in an overly dominated male industry is extremely impressive to me. I look to these sistas to guide me and to indirectly offer me advice when I most need it. Wendy has taught me the art of doing it my way or no way it all. Jaime has shown me patience and fortitude. Oprah has taught me to step into the place that god made for me. And though I strive and believe in being truly professional while in their presence this past week has been one the most memorable weeks of my life.

All I need is Oprah and I’m good!

OK enough of the corniness.....

I know that you guys have been trying to access the site but due to some billing issues it was down for a few days. Trust me when I say that it won’t happen again because O1LT.com is now officially incorporated—that’s right people O1LT.com is legally mine. If I have learned one thing from these damn celebrities its now to brand yourself and your product. This site isn’t just a hobby for me—it’s my life!! I put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into the development of O1LT.com. My fans/readers have grown with me and that alone makes me bring the fiyah every day.

Let’s get into it…

First Edward Bradley, and now Gerald Levert. I know by now you have all heard about Gerald’s passing on Friday, November 10th, 2006. My heart goes out to his family and his supreme fan and friend Wanda Smith from Atlantis’s own V103. May he rest in peace and to all my black people—take care of yourselves. Get your heart checked out, make sure your cholesterol is maintained, and try to adopt some kind of workout plan for yourself. If you don’t look out for “you” who else will?

It was announced today that Oprah Winfrey has adopted 10 African children. I don’t know all the details as of yet but when I find it out I will let you know.

My internet girl Myra Panache has a deluxe edition of Blind Items today. Though I cant display all of them, I will post the most juciest one. Can you guess who it is?

Over the years, people have wondered why two of our “Downlow Veterans” stopped speaking and associating. The real reason: Both men were crushing on a professional football player who is more known for his good looks than his offensive skills.

The DL veterans had a big blowout, similar to two women fighting over a attractive guy. Both men continue to hold a grudge and refuse to acknowledge each other at Hollywood events.

Although the athlete has dated beautiful Hollywood types (black and white) his sexuality has always been in question due to his immaculate behavior and good looks.

He hung out with the downlow crew on a few occasions (but it is not known whether he slept with any of them) because no one knows if he is actually straight, gay, or bi.

And, he has never been spotted at the downlow functions that take place in the Hollywood Hills every few months.

This athlete is extremely private in regard to his personal life.

Is Justin Timberlake talking sh*t about Janet? Thats what the internet word is. According to dozens of media outlets, Justin has released a new song titled "Give It To Me" which he supposedly wrote in response to Janet talking about him negatively to the press. Here are the song lyrics--you decide what it's all about. LISTEN TO SONG HERE

Could you speak up and stop the mumbling
I don't think you came in clear.
Sitting on the top it's hard to hear you from way up here.
I saw you tryin to act cute on tv "Just let me clear the air."
We missed you on the charts last week....
Damn that's right, you wasn't there.
If sexy never left, then why's everybody on my [EXPLETIVE]?
Don't hate on me just because you didn't come up with it.
So if you see us in the club go on and walk the other way
Cuz our run will never be over; not at least until we say

Has Beyoncé decided to embrace a culture that has single handedly elevated her to the ultra-successful level that she is today? That’s what Gay.com is reporting. Reportedly Beyoncé is in talks to play a lesbian opposite Eva Langoria in the screen adaptation of the Sarah Water's novel Tipping the Velvet. In a way it’s great that B would have the balls to play a daring role—and I say daring not because of the movie’s possible gay love scenes, but because this role would be a sharp contrast to her overtly Christian persona. Right now it’s all a rumor, nothing has been confirmed as of yet. Let’s see what happens. FULL STORY

Speaking of Beyonce...

My man illseed at allhiphop.com is reporting some Superhead news if you care. In my mine she's a whore and an opportunist. She's not a good look for womanhood—or is she?

Rumor has it, Superhead intends to put out three more books by the end of 2008. Even Bobby Brown, the upcoming baby and everybody else is going to have to watch their back on this one. In one of these books she is supposed to reveal who "Papa" is as if we still care. This chick will write a book about anybody! On a side note, rumor has it...Bobby might not be the father of that there bun in Superhead's oven.
