Giving you the scoop every Monday, Wednesday and Friday!
All is not well in the land of O! It seems the talk show queen is a little shaken about the latest “author” to announce they are penning a book about her. Apparently Daddy Winfrey is in the process of “writing” a book tentatively titled, “Things
Unspoken”. Oprah Winfrey told the New York Daily News upon hearing about the book: “I was upset. I won’t say ‘devastated,’ but I was stunned. The last person in the world to be doing a book about me is Vernon Winfrey, the last person.” As reported here previously Kitty Kelley is also writing a book about the media queen, Ms. Kitty is famous for her tell-alls and this one is already hot. It’s been reported that some editors and publishers won’t even read it (they skurred). At the Elie Wiesel Foundation Humanitarian Awards in
New York this past weekend Oprah had even more to say, “We talk, we talk, we talk.” That’s why “I would have preferred to have known my father was working on this. It would have been a nice gesture, a courtesy,” she said. All we can say at the SdB eZine: Bet neither one of those will make the Oprah Book list!!! Why is daddy-O keeping his book on the down-low…hmmm we can only speculate…until it comes out and we go buy it!!! Aww hush yall know yall gonna go buy it too!
Speaking of Oprah…Fantasia Barrino made her Broadway debut as Celie in the stage production of The Color Purple, amid rave reviews a few days ago. The American Idol finalist has brought charm and box office receipts to the long running show playing the part of Celie. The New York Times said: She’s pretty terrific. So terrific that this earnest but mechanical musical is more effective and affecting than it was when it yawned open a year and a half ago at the Broadway Theater. If you plan to be in the New York area check it out, it’s supposed to be a must see event. Click here for tickets and box office information. All we can say at the SdB eZine: This has to be a first…she was probably learning to read right along with Celie, Dog, D-o-g, Dog, Mister, M-r., Mister!!!!!!!!! She went from not being able to read her child a nursery rhyme book to memorizing a whole Broadway play…The Color Purple brought to you by Hooked on Phonics!
In other news today…This week BV Buzz is reporting that Beyoncé’s sister Solange has quietly divorced her husband David Smith. The two were married in a shot gun wedding in March of 2004. Seven months later in October of the same year the teen gave birth to a son David Smith Jr. In Feb.YBF Blog Spot reported Solange was secretly dating JR Smith of the Denver Nuggets. This marriage that was doomed to fail is said to be officially disolved
and Solange is reportedly now dating Lil Wayne. BV Buzz says her reps are calling the rumor of her and the young rapper totally unfounded yet when asked about the divorce the rep said, “we don’t comment on our clients’ personal lives”! All we can say at the SdB ezine: Yeah righhht….We aren’t surprised baby daddy got kicked to the curb after a reasonable amount of time had passed and her image was saved, but Lil Wayne!?!?? Did she not see the kiss!?! We’re hoping she’s with the baller.
Last but not least speaking of fake and secret weddings…mediatakeoutthetruth.com is reporting that Janet Jackson and Jermain Dupri have gotten engaged. The Superstar producer and Janet have been dating for 5 years. PeopleMag.com is also reporting the story. Janet herself says she doesn’t even know if they are engaged. When asked if they were getting married the 40+ R&B princess told a British radio station yesterday ”That’s what he said. He, um … that’s … everyone’s been asking me about this. He said something about September 26th we were getting married.” When pressed she did admit that is the date her new album–that shall remain nameless here because of the cheap publicity stunt–drops. All we can say at the SdB eZine: Insert your own *rolleyes*.
OnTV: Even though we are a day late and a dollar short, we have to mention that we caught Comedy Unleashed – Hot Chocolate last night with Byron Allen. It was a special show that ended with the making of Eddie Murphy’s Delirious. This is the 25th Anniversary of the ground breaking stage performance, and many turned out to pay their respects. Arnaz J, and DC Curry were just two of the black comics to sit-down with Byron that had us giggling and losing track of what we were supposed to be watching on a Tuesday night! Tonight’s pick: Although having Melinda eliminated was a travesty for ratings (yall know she had a record deal before she left the show so don’t feel bad) and it seems the AI crew pulled a Clay Aiken this year, we are recommending The season finale of American Idol on Fox. We are also going to go out on a limb and recommend tonight’s episode of Dr Phil. Check your local listing for channel and time…we don’t watch this show so we don’t really know! Previews of tonight’s episode seems real Jerry Springer-ish and we can’t wait to see Dr. Phil turn red and curse at the patients.
On SdB: There is much more gossip to report. We couldn’t fit it all in today’s edition of the eZine but you can still get the haps on the SdB forum.

It’s WITW Wednesday! (*insert drum roll*) each week your friendly SdB eZine post a picture of someone famous and ask our
readers to try and identify the subject or just be appalled as we are. We call it WHAT IN THE WORLD! !?!?! This weeks WITW photo: First of all …damn…let us get all our thoughts together…them straps look like they are holding on for dear life…like if one of them were to pop she’d blind people with beads. Please tell us who, what and why was she ever allowed to leave her home, hotel, tour bus or limo without a bra!?!? And them pearls..them bottom few pearls right in the cleavage look like they are trying to escape but they just can’t climb the mountain that is her tittie so they are going to trying and go around it…
