Luther Vandross' Funeral , Patti Labelle , Jesse Jackson

You ain't heard it from me 'cause I ain't one to gossip but...God rest the dead. I heard there was a man believed to be Luther's homosexual lover catching the holy ghost at the funeral. He was reported to have repeatedly run circles around Luther's casket like he was mourning the loss of a wife. Triflin'

Confessions of a Video Vixen , Karrine Steffans


It's more like confessions of a video ho. If you haven't read this book yet, you've most likely heard about it - Confessions of a Video Vixen by Karrine Steffans. In the book, Karrine aka Superhead tells the world how powerful she felt performing fellatio on numerous celebrities in exchange for cash. She wouldn't call herself one but she was a prostitute - plain and simple.

Half way into the book, I felt sorry like I wanted to find her and offer a warm hug. She details so much pain and abuse in her life at the hands of others. What is starkly omitted from the book however is any claim to personal responsibility. She paints herself to be a perfect victim. Spare me.

Even after her so-called revelation, she continued to use drugs and sleep with men for money. Hopefully God will work it out.
