FORMER PRODUCER OF "THE WENDY WILLAIMS EXPERIENCE"-ARTIE RETURNS TO RADIO!!

By L.T. Dinwiddie

Arthur J. Evans, former producer of The Wendy Williams Experience, has risen from the ashes to land another gig in radio. If you’re a Wendy Williams aficionado like me then you already know the back story on Artie “Life of The Party”, and his ultimate demise on The Experience. But, If your not aware read my exclusive on the situation.

However, with all that behind him now he has re-emerged with a new look, and a totally different sound. While, Artie has always claimed to love women, he always seemed to give off a slight homosexual vibe with his perfectly executed “How you doing”, to his often times bitchy attitude towards Wendy, various radio interns, and of course Wendy’s nationwide fans. His octave, his notorious “a toe is a toe”, and his ability to never miss a beat, when it came to having quick comeback to anyone who remotely tried his ability as a producer and sidekick, also added fuel to the gay fire.

While the “is he” or “isn’t he” debate remains to be a palpable discussion on message boards across the country, Artie is showing no signs of slowing down or changing up his style as he continues to ruffle feathers.

Recently, he proceeded to create an uproar with radio listeners over a seven year old girl who was raped/molested in Philadelphia. At one point, Artie said: "She probably used good ole ghetto survival techniques learned from the sluts and whores from the ghetto and backed that lil ass up so well and sucked a mean cock that her assailant probably put down his crack pipe for the rest of that day.” Listen to the audio, its quite disturbing.

O1LT.COM "HOT AND BLACK-MINI REPORT"-WILL SMITH/JOHNNY GILL/BEYONCE/NEYO!!

By L.T. Dinwiddie
Could you just melt or what, Will Smith and his son Jaden was photographed sharing a truly endearing father and son moment. It is my beliefs that if more fathers doted on their children, the way Will and Jada do theirs, children would grow up to be more productive members of society. Sidebar, am I the only one who can see Jaden playing that Boondock's chracter if they were ever to make it a feature film?

Ok, who in the hell does he think he’s fooling. Please, I don’t see any resemblance. Nice try Johnny, but I’m not falling for it.

Leave it to Beyonce to mess up my DreamGirls haze. Just when I was starting to ease up on her just a little bit, she has go and do something foolish making me refocus my hatred back on her. Mediatakeout.com is reporting that Ms. “to the left, to left” maybe a little, “too the left” in her honestly. In a recent interview she was quoted as saying:

I had been playing this character who was so caged, I had to do something with all that energy I'd been holding inside. So I probably made my most emotional, aggressive record ever. I was able to be things I'm not.

But, it’s Ne-Yo—Not Beyonce— who is responsible for the ghetto anthem. In a recent radio interview, Neyo confirmed that he wrote ALL the lyrics to “Irreplaceable”. He went on to say that Beyonce contributed on the melodies, nothing more nothing less. I swear Beyonce, sometimes you just do sh*t to urk me. Don’t believe the hype people. Beyonce is like a well running dry. Her time is almost up.

ATLANTA'S V103 UNITY MIXER!!

L.T. Dinwiddie
Atlanta’s popular radio personalities Frank Ski and Wanda, from the Frank Ski and Wanda Morning Show, are embarking on a new journey. In commemoration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s Birthday they, along with Q100’s Bert Morning Show, have decided to throw the first "Unity Night Mixture". An event that is focused on breaking the racial divides of Atlanta's up and coming metropolitan social scene.

If you live here in Atlanta you can’t help but observe the fact that though this city is taking over today’s music scene and is steadily becoming the "New York" of the south. The self-segregation is extremely palpable. Unlike other booming cities like Miami or NYC where Blacks, Whites, Gays, and Straights all party together. The jewel of the south still hasn’t seemed to evolve with the rest of the country in terms of how they party and socialize.

Could it be that though this city is considered a booming metropolitan — many residents have still adopted the old adage that the South is still one of the most racists region in the United States today? Or could it be that the Metro-Atlanta area, though enriched with diversity, is still surrounded by what many believe to be, much bigger and more racist counties such as Forsyth, Cobb, and Clayton. Being an Atlanta resident for almost two years now, I cant help but feel that living here has taken me two steps back in regard to race and race relations.

While, racism still exits in most parts of this country. I have never seen it to extent that I have witnessed it locally. Despite that fact, as a people we have a lot to work on racially. This Unity Night is a positive step in the right direction. Congratulations V103. I hope the event is a success.

What: UNITY Night Mixer

Why: To end the “black night – white night” stereotype and unify all races & cultures during the MLK weekend celebration.

Who: V103's Frank & Wanda Morning Show & Q100's Bert Show

When: MLK Weekend, Sunday, January 14th

Time: 9pm-12:00am

Where: Lotus Lounge – Lindbergh City Center (Lindbergh & Piedmont) 565 Main Street

Parking: Free Parking & Complimentary Valet

Cost: Free All Night

Dress Code: None

O1LT.COM "HOT AND BLACK" REPORT- SUPER SIZED EDITION-NEW YORK/TYRESE/JAY-Z/LOLDARION/HOUSE OF DEREON/THE NEW IPHONE/NAACP IMAGE AWARDS!!!

Hello faithful readers,

I took the time to give you a “Super Sized Hot and Black” report today. I have three celebrity interviews going down this week so time will be limited. I hope this can last you until Thursday. I love you all for supporting o1lt.com. Peace!

By L.T. Dinwiddie
I just didn’t think it was possible. When word broke out that New York was going to have her own spin-off show, I thought the idea was absolutely ludicrous. Firstly, guys don’t sweat females the same way they sweat us (Let's be real ladies). Secondly, guys, at least the ones I know, don’t fight for cat traps. But, I’ll be dammed if VH1 didn’t prove me wrong in a big way. Hell, maybe even the biggest way possible. For the two time reject— ghetto diva New York— has actually accumulated some men to desire her. Who knew?

VH1’s new reality show I Love New York is destined to be hit. This high-octane show is chuck full of buffoonery, a slight homo-eroticism (no judgment), and all the off the wall shenanigans that only desperate 15 minute’s of fame seekers can supply. While I was watching the premiere episode last night I found myself completely mesmerized. It wasn’t the mansion, the slightly gay contestants, or even the “out and proud” gay sidekick. What drew me was New York’s mother and her incredibly HUGE forehead. It seemed to go up and up and up. It went on for miles. Tyra Banks aint got nothing on New York’s mom.

I know where I will be every Monday at 9pm. Thank god for TIVO because VH1 put this sensational new reality program up against NBC’s Hero’s. I love me some New York but I’ll be dammed if I miss Hero’s for her.

I posted my column over at Sohh.com today. You should check it out. I critiqued Yung Joc’s new Video. SOHH ATLANTA

Ok so who are we to believe? According to an email I received the other night, from one of my fellow readers, Tyrese apparently did not strike his girlfriend as first previously reported.

In the email (attached below) the future baby’s mother’s attorney got is categorically denying that Tyrese had any physical contact with said woman.
Reports that Tyrese punched my client - his girlfriend - in the arm, thigh or anywhere else are false. It is true, Mr. Gibson and his girlfriend had been arguing. She became very emotional and distressed during the argument and called 911 in an attempt to get a mediator. Mr. Gibson, frustrated, left the home. My client, Mr. Gibson's girlfriend, who is 11 weeks pregnant, then became more upset and began throwing up. When the paramedics arrived, concerned about the baby, they took her to the hospital. Fortunately, she was fine. Once at the hospital, she was asked by a nurse whether she had been assaulted. She said no. She was then asked what her pain level was on a scale of zero to ten. She said zero. She then discharged herself.

Mr. Gibson and his girlfriend are very much still in love, together and excited about their expectant child. She is quite saddened that this event was so distorted. Who are we to believe? I don’t know and frankly at this point I don’t care. That’s the thing with entertainment news. It’s hear today, and gone today. But, I will say in the words of one of my media idols, Mrs. Wendy Williams, Tyrese – How You Doing!

Jay-Z hires Beyonce’s “House of Dereon"to design his NJ Nets uniforms. I’m not even going to waste my time talking about it. But, my friend Sohh Soulful has FULL STORY

Ok, its time for another intervention. We all sat back and watched Whitney Houston spiral out of control and though we evidently failed in trying to save Whitney before she lost her “star” status. It’s not too late for someone to step in and help Lil Kim. Every since Kim’s prison release back in July, (or was it June), she’s been looking a hot mess.

Kimberly gained a lot of weight behind bars but despite that fact, she really needs to get a stylist who can push her back in the spotlight. Many people may not no this but Lil Kim has a strong chance at coming back and reclaiming her thrown as the “Queen Bitch”. Since her jailhouse stint, no other female rapper used her jail time wisely. Foxxy didn’t come out with nothing. Da Brat was too busy focusing on “The Surreal Life”. Trina, please, she never had a chance. And since no other female-lyricist has shown initiative to become number one. I say, bring back the Queen. But first, we need an intervention.

According to Mary Bowlin (J&M Entertainment/Gillie The Kid's Publicist), Lil' Wayne's jaw was broken at a tour stop this past weekend. The story goes Cash Money's own Lil Wayne became involved in a heated argument with a fellow entourage member, it all ended with the argument coming to blows and Lil Wayne receiving a broken jaw in the mêlée. Lil' Wayne and Gillie The Kid have been involved in a war of words for the past several months and Wayne recently caused a stir with comments made about Jay-Z in a recent issue of Complex magazine.

Consumers will finally get the chance to own an iPhone, a mobile phone that plays iTunes and surfs the Web, electronics maker Apple said Tuesday. The device will retail for between $499 and $599.
Company chairman Steve Jobs, speaking at the company's annual Macworld expo, called the iPhone, which will be available in June, a "revolutionary mobile phone" that will feature an iPod, phone and what he called an "Internet communicator.

The phone is rectangular, and the entire front surface is a touch screen. All of its functions are activated by touch, but when you bring your iPhone to your face, a proximity sensor will turn off the touchscreen so you don't accidentally face dial.
The phone, which runs the Mac OS X, will come in two models -- a $499 version with 4 gigabytes of memory and a $599 one with 8 gigabytes. FULL STORY

And now for a “who cares” story...

Hoops superstar Jason Kidd's troubled marriage to his former Budweiser-model wife has hit the skids again, sources told The Post yesterday.
Joumana Kidd, 34, has been furious over the New Jersey Net great's frequent nights out in New York City, the sources said. "It's a mess, and it's been going on for a while," one source close to the All-Star point guard said of the pair's latest marital discord.

The hoopster plans to counter his wife's claims with a domestic-violence complaint and restraining order against her, the source said. It was unclear what the complaint involved.FULL STORY
