Aunt Viv Writes a Tell-All

Supposedly there is a darker side to Will Smith according to former co-star Janet Huber (aka the first Aunt Viv from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air). Janet has written a tell all book called Perfection is Not a Sitcome Mom, where she says that Will would "sabotage" any actor who "outshone him." She also talks more aobut her quick departure from the show.
On her website, she explains that "I chronicle the sudden change of [Vivian's] character like a CSI episode, detailing the plot, the murder, the funeral and the trial, with actual deposition material taken by a team of nine attorneys," which sounds a little nutty to us.
Will said back in ’93, "I can say straight up that Janet wanted the show to be 'The Aunt Viv of Bel-Air' show. She's mad now, but she's been mad all along. She said once, 'I've been in the business for 10 years and this snotty-nosed punk comes along and gets a show.' No matter what, to her I'm just the Antichrist."
Hmm, I’ve never heard that quote from Will before but it has a tinge of Nasty in it. I personally believe that most funnymen have a dark side so this revelation from Janet isn’t that hard to believe. Trust I’ll be perusing her book in the Barnes and Noble Starbucks café when it comes out.

Since Buffie has never impressed me as a hoe, I can’t see her having too many interesting stories. So, I’ll pass. But the book is supposed to come out in June so if you’re interested you can cop it then.

Mike's Sister Writes Tell-All Alleging Abuse

Michael Jordan’s sister, Deloris Jordan, has written a book, in which she alleges that their father abused her.
Here’s an excerpt from “In My Family’s Shadow”:
"Please understand that sexual molestation brutally violates a child's mind; destroying all traces of innocence. And more often than not, it takes with it their security and self-worth while imprisoning them in a painful world of silence and guilt."
"When I finally found the courage to let my father's deeds tumble from my lips, I did not know what to expect, but I never in a million years would have guessed that my mother would turn on me. Her words of betrayals did far more damage to me than my father's deeds. They spoke volumes to the fact that she really did not care about me, which my father obviously knew. It is because she was so expressive with her dislike for me that probably made my father know he could get away with violating me." "It turned out to be true, when he told me that if I ever told, it would be he that my mother believed and me that the family hated."
"My father confessed his actions on the same day that I disclosed them to my mother. And on that frightful day of admission, I watched my mother, looking for a sign, any sign that she cared about me."
"I watched her as she stood in my bedroom citing their decision to send me away. Once again, I became the little girl who was always looking for her mother's signal of affection and approval, but once again there was none!"
"The memory of my father whispering in my ear during the wee hours of the night about the beauty of my body has played over and over in my head for many years. And as if that has not been incapacitating enough by itself, having to comprehend the fact that more often than not, he had just gotten out of the bed he shared with my mother to find his way to my bedroom has just added to the realization of the painful situation."
"It came to injure my mother's womanhood to such a point that she came to think of me as her adversary, with her striking out at me (the other woman) every chance she could, no matter where we were and what the occasion."

So sad and horrific.

Oprah Likes Rocks?

Oprah’s Ex, Randolph Cook, has written a book called “The Wizard of O” where he talks about Oprah’s drug use.
National Enquirer got a hold of the book and in it speaks of how “Oprah made a “rock” of cocaine and baking soda in the tube and heated it." He added that “[Oprah] then put the lit torch on the rock, inhaled and held the smoke in her lungs for a long time...We smoked at least a couple of times a week. Sometimes we would smoke up until her limo was waiting to take her to the studio to perform her show…” Oprah didn't deny the story either, back in '95 during one of her episodes she confessed, “In my 20’s, I’d done this drug and I know exactly what you are talking about...It’s my life’s great big secret. It was such a secret because–I realize (with) the public person I have become–if the story ever were revealed, the tabloids would exploit it and what a big issue it would be.” Source

J-Lo Wins Big Against Ex in Court

J-Lo has won a $545K settlement against her ex-husband Ojani Noa for writing a tell-all book about her sexual exploits. Noa’s book (which was never published) alleges that Jenny from the block cheated on him with Sean “Beady Eyes and Unfortunate Teeth” Combs as well as boinking Marc Anthony while he was still married to his wife Dayanara.
He also says that when Jenny let him run her restaurant Madre’s, and was married to Cris Judd she had already started dipping off with Ben Affleck. Source
So he’s pretty much saying she’s a cheating whore who has the attention span of a gnat. Not very nice to say to someone who was nice enough to give you a job when she wasn’t even with you anymore.

According to Faith’s new book “Keep the Faith: A Memoir”, rapper Treach from Naughty By Nature, was the one who hooked Faith up with Tupac Shakur.
Here’s an excerpt:

"One night, I went out to the Hollywood Athletic Club with some friends. As soon as we get inside, I see Treach from Naughty By Nature. We exchanged hugs and greetings and I introduced Treach to my friends."
"Somebody here wants to meet you," Treach said. "Who?" I asked.
"My boy Tupac wants to say what's up," Treach said, gesturing to a table behind him.
Before I go any farther, let me be absolutely clear on something. Many people have asked me why I wouldn't peel off in the opposite direction when I heard Tupac's name. And the answer is simple: There was no need. I didn't know anything about what label Pac was signed to, whom he was cool with, whom he had beef with.
"Almost immediately after we were introduced, a photographer who had been trolling the club for celebrities came up to us and asked us to pose."
After we exchanged pleasantries, Tupac began to compliment me. "I really like your music," he said. "I want to do a song with you."
I said, "You'd have to get clearance from my label to do that." "That's not a problem," he said. "It's not going to be cheap," I told him. "And, I need my money up front."
"How much?" I replied, "It's going to be twenty-five thousand dollars." "No problem," he said.
Two days later I spoke to Big. I told him, "I met Pac out here, he wants me to do a song with him." "Oh word?" Big said. "You gonna do it?" "If the money comes through, yeah, I'll do it."
"The next night was the party for the release of the "Waiting To Exhale," soundtrack. I took a limo to the party with my friend Nicci, a singer in the group Brownstone. A soon as we pulled up, my cell phone rung. "What's up Faith. Where you at?" It was Tupac. I told him I was at the Waiting To Exhale party. He said, "I'm here, too!"
"I looked out the car window, and there he was. He made a bee line for the car, opened up the door and jumped in the backseat with us. I wasn't planning on hanging out with Pac. I introduced him to my friend and we chatted until it was time to hit the red carpet."
When we got inside the venue, I found our table and sat down. I was just starting to get comfortable when Pac slid into a chair next to me and Nicci. He was acting like he was going to sit there for the rest of the night.
"Tupac eventually left our table and was mingling. After the party ended, we went outside to our limo and Tupac was standing there. "Where ya'll going now?" "We're going to a party at the Peninsula hotel," I said quickly. He said, "That's where I'm staying!" I'll catch a ride over there with ya'll. Tupac jumped in the limo and stretched out, making himself comfortable. Now, I was definitely feeling weird."
"After the party at the hotel, we hung out a bit more with Tupac and his friends, shared a blunt and discussed specifics on my guest appearance on an upcoming record."
A few days later, Pac arrived at my house driving a black convertible Mercedes-Benz with the top down. At this time, Pac had enough fame and notoriety that he did not need to be driving around Los Angeles in a top-down convertible. At that moment I wanted to tell him that I would drive to the studio myself in my rental car. But I didn't. I just got in the car and we pulled off. I noticed immediately that a black Town Car was following us. From the look of the beefy guys in the backseat, they were security guards.
"The ride to the studio was about 15 minutes. We didn't talk much. I didn't like any of it, the convertible, the security behind us, none of it felt right. I decided I would go in, lay down my vocals and haul ass out of the studio as soon as possible."
We pulled up to a nondescript parking lot in nearby Tarzana. I followed Tupac through the doors. As soon as the doors opened, I saw blood-red carpeting throughout the hallway entrance and lighted sign that said "Death Row Records."
"I felt the blood rush from my face and I thought I was going to pass out."

I don’t know…I don’t buy it. I don’t see Pac hawkin’ her like that…just doesn’t make any sense.

Hugh, BEHAVE!

Author Steven Watts is writing a new book about Hugh Hefner entitled, Mr. Playboy: Hugh Hefner and the American Dream. In it he discusses kinky sex and homosexuality. He writes:
"A foursome did happen with his brother, Keith, and his wife, Rae, one evening. But while Millie, Hugh's first wife, ultimately backed out of having sex with Keith, Hugh slept with his sister-in-law." Watts also alleges Hugh had a homosexual experience too:
"Hefner's thirst for sexual experience became so strong that he even had a one-time homosexual experience. One evening in downtown Chicago he was propositioned and he thought, 'What the hell!' As far as I know, the guy just gave him oral sex."
If you think this is BS it’snot. The Hef gave Watts access to his personal document and refers to the book as:
"the most authoritative book ever written about me - it's all essentially true."
We can get our hands on the book in October. Source

O.J. Confessed!?

In a tell-all book, Uncle O.J’s former sports agent says that "The Juice" confessed to killing his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson:

In "How I Helped O.J. Get Away With Murder," Mike Gilbert claims he told O.J. to take arthritis medicine so that the his hands would bloat and subsequently not fit the leather gloves linked to Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman's 1994 stabbing deaths.

He also says that O.J. confessed to killing Nicole and Ron while blazed on that sweet cheeba. His book reportedly quotes O.J. saying that he killed his ex-wife with a knife she held when she opened the door for O.J. “If she hadn't opened that door with a knife in her hand ... she'd still be alive," the quote reads. Gilbert writes, "Nothing more needed to be said. O.J. had confessed to me. There's no doubt in my mind."Simpson's lawyer Yale Galanter said that Gilbert is "a delusional drug addict who needs money. I've talked to O.J. about it. This stuff not only didn't occur but it's not factually supported by the evidence.” Source

Aye dios mio! I don’t know how much more of this I can take. Uncle O.J. , I’ve been hearing about you killing them poor folks since I was in the 8th grade and the story’s getting kinda old. Do us all a favor and confess.

Oh No! Not Another Tell-All!!!

Mos Def’s (nee Dante Smith) ex-wife Alana Smith, has penned a tell-all book about her life and her short marriage to the actor/rapper entitled Breaking the Code of Silence.
You can access a description and an excerpt here.
Let’s see what we already know about these two.

Mos Def is a rapper and actor has been on both the small and big screen. He’s know for being a socially conscious artist. He’s also known for fathering a tribe of children and not paying child support.
Alana is a Canadian single mom who is best known for her three seconds in Snoop’s ‘Drop it Like it’s Hot’ video (she’s the one with the cornrows). Her high intelligence (snicker snicker cackle) can be seen on her MySpace page.
I’m quite sure there isn’t much more that she can tell us about her or him that we don’t already know. Besides she was married to him for like five minutes. I'd much rather his first wife write a book. They were married for ten years. I'm sure she's got stories for days.
