O1LT.COM "HOT AND BLACK" NEWS RECAP-BEYONCE/NEYO/CHARLAMAGNE/PRETTY RICKY

It looks like someone is out to get Beyoncé because her new Album “B-Day” is officially online. That’s right ladies and gentleman if you want to listen to “B-Day” all you have to do is go to these sites HIP AND POP and BEARSHARE to listen. It’s sad that someone would do this, but hey you’ve got to be more protective of your music B, you just have to. The same thing happened to Tyrese not too long ago with his Double LP and now he's rerecording. Though O1LT.com has a strict no share music policy, you can go to this sites to listen to tracks.B-DAY PREVIEW

OK how do you go from having pictures posted all on the internet with you getting your d*ck sucked by some dancer/groupie (allegedly), to now being gay? That’s what mediatakeout.com is reporting. In their exclusive report titled: “Ne-Yo reportedly tells Essence he’s Gay”, they are claiming that a leaked email from Barbra Stradoff, who is somehow affiliated with Essence( Though I highly doubt that), has Ne-Yo confessing to the world that yes he is in fact gay. By now I am sure all of you know how much I love mediatakeout.com, and I think the main reason(s) I love them are because of these outrageous stories they publish that I almost always denounce.

Bottom line it is my belief that Ne-Yo =No Homo. Don’t ask me how I know, because at the end of the day I don’t. Have I seen him in the throws of passion with another dude, No! Have I seen him in the throws of passion with a chick, Again No! So who really knows, but I just don’t see it. What would he have to gain by doing this so early in his career? It just doenst make any sense. And after all that, why would he confess to Essence Magazine? Wouldn’t he go to Vibe, XXL, or Clik, something the kids read? I mean I’m sorry Essence but your target audiences are the grown and sexy crowd. No one under the age 30 reads Essence (my opinion). If anyone would beleive such nonsense, then you'll beleive anything.

According to RNBDIRT.COM, Ne-Yo is the latest artist to fall victim to a phoney internet posting. An item making the rounds claims to quote the singer telling "Barbra Stradoff" of Essence Magazine in their October issue that he's gay, where he supposedly explained, "You now this world we live in is full of judgement, resulting in one of the reasons why it took me so long to come out of the closet." The item includes the incorrect usage of "their" and includes the following "complete" sentence: "Worrying that it would destroy his image." The item is not mentioned at the magazine's web site, nor is there any Google match for "Barbra Stradoff" - unheard of for a magazine writer. The errors are typical in slanderous fake gossip reports that have plagued several successful black artists, including Bow Wow (a false report he was molested by a bodyguard), Ciara (a false report she was actually a man), Kelly Rowland (a false report she had an unplanned pregnancy), and Michelle Williams (a false report she had been kicked out of Destiny's Child after her BET fall).

Damn people for having way too much time on their hands making petitions. If you’re a fan of the highly successful, nationally syndicated “Wendy Williams Experience” then you are aware that she has recently added a new sidekick Charlamagne the God from South Carolina. Well it seems that fans aren’t happy with the new addition and he is rustling fans feathers.

In a online petition, fans are making the following complaint(s)“Not only does he disrespect Wendy's staff and unpaid interns by referring to them as donkeys on air, but he also insults fans of Wendy Williams. These fans have supported her from day one and don't deserve to be treated this way.” I will admit that Charlamagne can be a bit abrasive with his commentary, but I also think he balances the show. People need to give the man a chance, because if you can remember accurately people weren’t always fond of the now illustrious Wendy Williams. She earned every bit of success and respect she has. Back in the day she was hated by most, but she stuck to her guns and made most of us love her. People also need to realize that this world is made up of different kinds of people and "The Expeirience" embraces everybody(Im assuming). I say let the man do his thing, and just B E Z.

You all can save your petitioning because they don’t stack up to a hill of beans to top tier companies. If you don’t like it, don’t listen.C-THA GOD'S ONLINE PETITION

Last week in one of my “Random Thoughts” I expressed my opinion about Outkast and the breakup rumor(s) that has been surrounding them pretty much ever since their extremely successful solo albums “Speakerboxx/The Love Below” dropped back in 2002. I just a man with an opinion and at the end of the day what do I really know anyway, but I do feel that Outkast is no longer. If you watch them in interviews recently their body language speaks for itself. They have outgrown each other, which happens a lot in life. How many friends/coworkers have you had that you just outgrew each other, there wasn’t anything necessarily bad about it, you just moved on?

MSNBC is backing up my doubts about Outkast future as a whole, but please note, I said it first.FULL STORY

This weekend as I was flipping through the channels whenI happen to stop on MTV to watch an episode of "MTV Cribs”. One of their featured cribs was Miami’s Alternative Group, and I say Alternative because I am not able to put them in a specific group. They’re not Hip-Hop, there not R&B, and they certainly aren’t pop, so I think Alternative is the appropriate term to be used when addressing Pretty Ricky. But what made me roll my eyes so long that I almost fell asleep, was how people are still perpetrating a fraud with there status in the game.

First off they pull up in a blue Bentley, to some mansion in Miami. They show off there Ninja motorcycles, and gave all of us the grand tour of their home. OK lets cut the crap for a moment people, did their album even go platinum because all I saw throughout their home were gold plaques. You’d be a fool if you believed that some of these stars have half of what they claim. I mean I know it happens, but my question is “what’s the point?” Or is it maybe the kids believe these Bentley’s, mansions, and 200,000 dollar necklaces actually belong to them? *Note you’re not buying a Bentley off of a Gold Album, and if you do own one then that’s probably all you own.

My myspace friend, and friend in the name of entertainment news Myra Panache has offered another blind item for us to figure out.

This washed up R&B singer (female) has been a drug addict for years. She just can't beat her habit. When she use to perform in the bay area, her and another R&B singer (who beat her habit) use to hang out at a big time drug dealer's house in the Oakland Hills and get high between performances, to the point of passing out. This singer seeks out black female celebrities with drug problems, befriends them, and freeloads off them for drugs-because she is broke and near homeless. This is her motto of operation and this is part of the reason her career sunk, she had become unreliable and moody. Hint: She and a male soul singer (well known) damn near overdosed on crack and heroin. This episode caused him to scale back on his use and distance himself from her.

Eminem has gotten out of control again. It’s being reported that he has assaulted none other then Hugh Heffner’s main chick (now isn’t that an oxymoron) Kendra Wilkerson, do we care?FULL STORY

How do people still fall for scams that has to do with Oprah Winfrey?FULL STORY

Everybody knows I love me some Janet Jackson, but this picture is too much. In my opinion Janet doesn’t need to take pictures like this. Leave these kinds of poses to the girls who need other things to sell records. I know she’s got the great body and lost all the weight yada yada yada, but I just think she is too mature to be basically spread eagle, that’s just my opinion.

O1LT.COM "HOT AND BLACK" **EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW** MEGA BODY!!

BY L.T. Dinwiddie

I remember it plain as day, I was 16 years old and I had come home from school to do my homework. I had always sat in front of the television and watched "The Ricki Lake Show" as I worked on my lessons from the day. As I sat deep in thought over a challenging assignment, I heard Ricki say a man's name that would change my entire opinion on sex, sexual confidence, as well as how powerful the allure of the male form can truly be to woman/men. That name was "Mega Body". Mega Body is a well known exotic dancer who has taken the dancing industry by storm. After being in the business for over 13 years his command for the stage whenever and wherever he performs is unparallel. Known by most as "The Freakiest Dancer Alive", Mega Body has made numerous television appearances on "The Rupal Show", "Maury Povich", and as previously mentioned "The Ricki Lake Show". When I first saw Mega Body at the age of 16, what struck me most about him the most was how he made woman scream in a frenzy over him. The way he danced and made everyone excited without him even taking his pants off, (seeing it was daytime television they had boundaries) amazed me. I knew at that moment I wanted to command that same attention. At that instant Mega Body became my hero. No more Xmen, and no more Power Rangers; my attention had shifted to learning how to be just like him.

Though it seemed that Mega Body was climbing the ladder to success making numerous televisions appearances, and gracing the covers of a many adult magazines, he was barely holding it all together. Domestic violence, steroid abuse, sexual experimentation, and numerous salacious exotic dancing situations threatened to devastate Mega Body permanently. While all his life he has struggled, he's attempting to take control of his life, and elevate his career. Mega Body has taken a brave step in revisiting painful life challenges penning a new book titled "G-String Dream's: Confessions of Male Exotic Dancer". "G String" is Mega Body's candid story about life, sex, family, abuse, date rape, and ultimately his own redemption. His new book also delves into the male exotic industry, and lets us all in on its dirty little secrets that can potentially change the views a lot of people may have on men who take it all off for money. When word broke out that Mega Body was writing this book, a mild panic quickly spread amongst the male dancing industry. An industry like most that is based on smoke and mirrors. There are secrets that people don't want exposed, but Mega Body isn't worried about exposing, or more appropriately providing insight on such a provocative industry that he has participated in much of his adult life. When I found out about this book, and more importantly the man behind it, I knew I wanted to interview him. The idea that my adolescent hero consciously made the choice to bare all, and "confess" his life was extremely appealing to me. I contacted my editor for a magazine that I work for, but the idea was passed on, but I felt so strongly about this story, I wasn't going to take "no" for an answer. So I made my contacts, and set up an exclusive interview myself with the infamous exotic dancer that is known by his fans as "Mega Body".

Our conversation was insightful, honest, and 100% real. Mega Body didn't hold back on anything I asked, if anything he seemed to want to share all with me. This book is about Mega Body's struggle as a husband, his hardships being a father, and his insatiable desire to be center stage, and achieve his long time goal of becoming a celebrity. Every since childhood he has wanted to stand out and make his own mark in this world, he's been attempting to do it with the best thing he knows how, with his ability to make you desire him. Behind the smile, and the illustrious stage name "Mega Body" is a man who is trying to make it the best way he knows how.


LT: Thank you for taking the time to speak to me today, the book is out so tell me how you feel?

MEGA: I feel good about the book being out; I am learning a lot about publishing.

LT: For people who don't know how long you have been doing this (dancing), what has been your entire career span when it comes do exotic dancing?

MEGA: Going on 13 years

LT: How old are you?

MEGA: 39

LT: What made you want to write this book, essentially confessing your story for entire world to share?

MEGA: After becoming a male dancer, I became aware that I am apart of an entertainment industry that is not talked about, that's not on television. I have experience a lot of things on my life, trials and tribulations, life is a learning experience. I have always had dreams, and part of my dreams was to always be a celebrity. Whether rich or poor, I always wanted to be a celebrity. I decided to become a book author, attempting to follow my dream of reaching a certain level of celebrity status.

LT: Why did you decided to release your first book through your own publishing company, Survival First Publishing?

MEGA: As I was looking for publishing companies to pick up my book, it was sent through a literary agent, and a lot of people don't know you have to get a literary agent to get a major publishing company to pick up your book, in the process of shopping my book I ran into a woman by the name of Nancy Flowers who taught me all about the I.S.B.N. numbers which stands for International Standard Book Number, and barcodes. Once I learned, and understood the business, she asked me "Why would you go to a publishing company to publish your book, when you can do it yourself?" I then decided to push my own book, so I can open up a whole new door for myself.

LT: So before you decided to publish your own book, were there any publishing companies who were interested in publishing your book?

MEGA: Actually No, because I didn't shop the manuscript to major publishers, I shopped it to smaller publishing companies like Triple Crown and Black Print Publishing, but when I first shopped no was interested in picking it up because they were like nobody's interested in reading about strippers. After JL King (Author of "On The Down Low) read the manuscript, he really questioned the idea of why I never talked about ever being with a man. He convinced me to include all my sexual experiences, including men, women, and Transgendered.

LT: You mentioned in the book your children, along with your sexual exploration with men, women and the transgendered, what has been your children's reaction to your book?

MEGA: My younger children are between the ages 7-11 they don't know anything about the content of the book. My oldest blood daughter Tahneejah is 10 years who I mention in the book, my oldest stepdaughter who is 15, she has read some of the book, but her side of the family got upset that I would put her mothers name in the book, having not reading the book. It wasn't until some other members of her side of the family who are apart of the gay community read the book, and liked it, that the anger died down. We haven't had a discussion about it. They don't mention anything about the book to me.

LT: How do you identify yourself sexually?

MEGA: LT, I am going to say this to you and I will never ever live in fear again to say to someone, that I am a bisexual man.

LT: I want to switch gears for a moment, because you did mention JL King earlier. In your book you speak very candidly about him, and we are all aware of his success with his book "On The Down Low" what is the relationship with him now that your book is out, what has been his response from your accusations?

MEGA: He has not contacted me what so ever. There has been no contact!

LT: In your book you also mention the much respected and very well known author E Lynn Harris. I don't want to give away too much detail, but you do mention some interesting situations that were exchanged between you and E. Lynn, what has been his response?

MEGA: He hasn't responded to me either

LT: In your book you are very candid, as you recalled a lot of situations in your life, from your childhood struggles, you're many sexual encounters, to your many performances, was it hard to recall all your experiences? I don't think I would be able to do that.

MEGA: Certain details of my life particularly as a child I am able to recall because they are so vivid. I can actually close my eyes, and see myself where ever I was. Growing up I was always daring, people would always be like "I dare you this" or "I dare you that" and I would do it, so no it wasn't that difficult to recall a lot of things that went on in my life. If anything I could recall too much stuff. If I had included everything that I could recall, this book would have been 950 pages. But I made a conscience decision to pick out what was necessary. People feel when you write a book that every single detail has to go into your book, and you can't do that.

LT: In your book you take a great deal about your wife who's named "Goddess" in the book. What is the relationship like with you and her now?

MEGA: The relationship between us is OK, she is doing her right now, and I didn't mention what she does now in the book because I am hoping to write another book telling more about Goddess and what she is doing with her life. What her reaction was from her family, my family and people in the streets (readers) about "G Sting".

LT: Do you still dance?

MEGA: Yes at the moment I am still dancing, because it is financially taking of everything at the moment.

LT: Other then dancing what are you doing?

MEGA: I'm pushing this book, and building my company Survival First Publishing.

LT: How many books have you sold to date?

MEGA: Well we only printed 2,000 books to test the waters, and now we are down to 1,000 books.

LT: Now that you have experience the adult industry for yourself, and since you have children, what would you say to your child if they came to you and said they wanted to be a stripper? Particularly your sons, what advice would have to give them?

MEGA: I would support my children in whatever they wanted to be come. That's like asking me "what if your son wants to become a doctor?" or "what if he is a gay doctor?" am I supposed to be against him because he's Gay? No! I got to love my child straight across the board. I would however explain to them how hard of a profession it is. I wouldn't allow them fall for the way the stripping industry is glamorized, because it's just not like that.

LT: You seem to be still growing as well, and as one turns to the last page in your book, G String Dreams: Confessions of a Male Exotic Dancer, what's your testimony?

MEGA: What I want everyone to know when they read the last page of my book is that your dreams are your dreams, they're not your mothers, not your fathers, they are yours.

LT: Have you reached your dreams?

MEGA: In a sense yes I have, I'm Mega Body!
