Oprah’s Cracky Tales ~ O’s Ex Writes Tell-All Book Claiming Drug Use
Ok…somebody shoot me now! Oprah Winfrey, known for being frank and open about her personal relationships and bad choices in men back in the day has been outed for using Crack cocaine.? “Outed” may be a poor choice of words though since the television diva has confessed on many occasions to using drugs but she’s never revealed what her drug of choice was.
From a 1995 episode of her show, Oprah revealed:
?In my 20?s, I?d done this drug and I know exactly what you are talking about.? She said the drug use occurred while she was an anchorwoman on a television news show.
?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.?
She went on to explain, ?But I was involved with a man in my 20s who introduced me to the same drug that you?ve been talking about and, like Patrice, I always felt that the drug itself is not the problem but that I was addicted to the man.? She admitted: ?I can?t think of anything I wouldn?t have done for that man.?
O’s Crack partner and toxic love interest Randolph Cook, has decided to write a book about their relationship and accuses Oprah of introducing HIM to cocaine.
“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??
DeShawn Snow Fired From “Atlanta Houswives” ~ Says “No Hard Feelings”

My favorite Real Housewife of Atlanta, DeShawn Snow, has been given the boot from next seasons show. DeShawn’s firing comes as no surprise, since reality television is all about the drama and Snow had none. The level-headed beauty sat down with Essence Magazine recently to clear the air about her termination:
[One of the producers] called and said that I was ?too human for a circus show? and that because the show did so well, they are about to pump up the drama and they didn?t think that I would fit in. He gave me an example, saying that during the reunion when I found out what a few of the other ladies said about me, they were expecting me to say more, but I?m not the type to go ?television? and start acting crazy because somebody?s talking about me. I?m fine with the decision. It wasn?t my decision. They let me go and there are no hard feelings.
NecoleBitchie bitched about it this morning and had me rolling…
“I was supportive of the show until I found out that half of them bishes were broke. Flaunting around in Cadillacs and Rovers when they should have been driving Hyundais. DeShawn?s storyline was boring, but she was normal and gave some balance to the show. And putting a white woman with a bad weave on the show is not balance. I?m tired of seeing stereotypical loud, gold digging, ignant ass, neck rolling black women on television fronting about what they do and do not have.“
Some say Tameka Foster-Raymond is in the running to take DeShawns place… 😯 No comment.
Tatted Up ~ Shaq’s Accuser Sports New “Shaq” Tatt
Alexis Miller, aka Mary Jane, is working overtime to remain relevant since filing and dismissing stalking charges against Shaquille O’neal.? The jumpoff has apparently assembled a team to market her so-called rap career and recently sent pics out to several blogs displaying what appears to be a tatted replica of Shaq’s “Superman” tattoo.? The email I received stated:
“WHOA! WORD ON THE STREET IS THAT SHAQ AND MARYJANE ARE BACK TOGETHER! SHE’S SHOWING OFF THEIR MATCHING TATTOOS ON HER MYSPACE PAGE PICS!!!!! PLEASE POST.”
My spidey senses are tingling with this one. How the hell does she want ME (of all people) to believe that she and Shaq have kissed and made up just because her dumb “A”zzzz went and got tatted up! Like…for real though. My boo can’t possibly be that stupid… 😯 Girl bye!

Here are a few flix from last night’s Atlanta screening of “Notorious.”? DJ Drama, Trey Songz, Gorilla Zoe and more posed for red carpet pics. As you can see, DJ Drama was photographed showing no signs of a beat down. I was there…so I know for a fact that there WAS indeed a suffle, but I was too busy trying to get away for the melee to find out what was up.? AllHipHop caught up with Drama’s camp today and got some clarificaiton:
According to Aphilliates Music Group president La The Darkman, DJ Drama was assaulted by members of Young Jeezy?s entourage last night (January 12), yet walked away from the incident unscathed. ?There was a little scuffle. At a movie screening,? La told AllHipHop.com, ?A little thing that got handled. Fake thugs with low self esteem want to pick on the DJ?s. We definitely didn?t initiate this though. DJs don?t go looking for beef with fake gangstas.”
So…now that we’ve cleared up any misconceptions that Drama got beat down can we please move on? 😕
