O1LT.COM "HOT AND BLACK" REPORT-LIONEL RICHIE/TISHA CAMPBELL/JERMAINE DUPRI/KIM OSRIO/BUCKWILD!!!!!!!

By L.T. Dinwiddie
I’m sure everybody wants to check out this new music show launching on AOL Black Voices called - "The Bridge" - which pairs an established artist with a newcomer in a special performance. For the first episode, five-time Grammy award winner Lionel Richie and rising music sensation Lyfe Jennings sing one of Lionel's all-time best songs "Easy." The performance heats up when Lionel leaves the piano and starts riffing with Lyfe. (This part is amazing). It all takes place in a private recording studio, alongside a full band, with Lionel playing the piano and Lyfe standing by his side. The pair also jammed as Richie performed his chart-topping singles "I Call it Love" and "Why," and Jennings rocked to the hit songs "S.E.X." and "Goodbye."FULL STORY

What people won’t do for some cash! Perezhilton.com is reporting that Buckwild is selling on eBay the shoe she chucked at New York's head on the Flavor of Love season 2 reunion special She says, "If you want I can autograph it for you. It's Time to Get Buckwild!!!!!!!" And, that's exactly what Flavor Flav is doing!! Though he chose Deelishis to be his bitch on the hit VH1, he's having a baby now with another woman. Who in the hell would buy that shoe? I could understand if it actually made contact with her forhead and then richoeted off of La La(Wouldn't that have been funny) FULL STORY


I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t see this happening—rumors are swirling over Janet and Jermaine’s relationship. I addressed my feelings towards this when Janet’s album was sinking faster then the “Heart of The Ocean” from Titanic. You don’t mix business with pleasure. It looks like mediatakeout.com is echoing my original sentiments over the issue. According to them "Janet knows that Jermaine's the reason her album didn't sell ... she's not following him anywhere." The source went on, "every album that Janet's done with [Virgin] has gone platinum except the one with [Jermaine] ... you think Janet doesn't know this."

For the first time in a long time I have to agree with them—Jermaine got a little too big for his britches taking on Damita Jo! What remains of their relationship? Only time will tell!!



Well isn’t Tisha Campbell calling the kettle black? For Halloween Tisha decided to come to a celebrity Halloween party—as Tyra Banks. Tisha had the nerve to put some prosthetic skin to reflect Tyra’s big fore head. From one big head to another I didnt find it funny. We all remember the head jokes she used to get when she was on Martin—here’s the skit they did on it.



Not so fast Kim Osorio....

A judge yesterday lopped off nearly half of the $15.5 million verdict fired-editor Kimberly Osorio won from her ex-bosses at The Source, the bankrupt bible of the hip-hop industry.
Manhattan Federal Judge Jed Rakoff ruled that the magazine's first female editor was really due about $8 million in damages after a jury found she was wrongfully fired for complaining about sexual harassment on the job.
Rakoff said he was convinced jurors mistakenly awarded Osorio $4 million each from the magazine and ex-owners David Mays and Raymond (Benzino) Scott for a total of $12million.
The judge said the total damages against all three should have been $4 million for retaliating against Osorio by canning her last year when she complained about her treatment. "That's [still] a huge verdict on the facts of this case," Rakoff said. FULL STORY

After winning Best Fight at the Reality Remix "Really Awards," the two ex-"Flavor of Love" ladies were spotted locking lips as New York expressed her love for the woman who once spat in her face on national television. FULL STORY

SWEET JESUS!!!! Seal’s a face only his mother can love…I was hungry but, I have suddenly lost my appetite! Am I the only one who doesnt find anything funny about men who dress as women?


According to my girl Myra Panache Eddie Murphy being seen with glamour girl/producer Tracey Edmonds is "not" a publicity stunt. Sources inform us that Eddie is really feeling Tracey, big time! Where does this leave Scary Spice? We don't know but she is definitely pregnant and she may want to fly to Los Angeles if she wants to keep her relationship in check because Tracey is not only pretty, she is also smart.

I’m sorry but I refuse to let the connection between he and Johnny Gill go!!!
