Publishers Hope Tension Can Divide Oprah and Gayle


Amid rumors of stress in their relationship, publishers have been bombarding Gayle King with offers to write a tell-all book about Oprah...

From The National Enquirer
A publishing insider told The ENQUIRER. “It’s a looming possibility that Gayle would be willing to sit down and write the memoir because of recent stress in her relationship with Oprah.”
Gayle, 57, currently a co-anchor on “CBS This Morning,” has seen her career take off in recent months, while 58-year-old Oprah has been locked in a desperate struggle to keep her OWN network afloat.
“It’s a source of tension between the women,” said the insider.
“Publishers are hoping that with her to stay at the pinnacle of fame, Gayle will agree to write what they are certain will be an instant best-seller. And $10 million is a fair number if she’s willing to disclose some of Oprah’s closely guarded secrets.”

No matter how mad Gayle gets with Oprah, she will never tell on her bread and butter. They will continue to play the best friend for life thing, and Oprah will make sure that Gayle always has something to do with herself. Ain't going to happen from Gayle..unless Oprah finds a newer and hotter version of Gayle. I'm Just Saying!!!

I don't know about the story, but I do know that someone (Oprah or even the camera guy) should snatch that fountain of youth wig off of Gayle's head. Gayle, young you are not.

3:26 agreed! If Gayle writes a tell all book about Oprah it will also be a tell all book about her self! Will the book show pictures of Oprah's love juices trickling down Gayle's long ass horse face! Will it show pictures of Steadman getting deeply penetrated by that 15 inch strap on dildo by these two?

Chuck Brown dies: The ‘Godfather of Go-Go’ was 75

The Washington Post:

Chuck Brown, the gravelly voiced bandleader who capitalized on funk’s percussive pulse to create go-go, the genre of music that has soundtracked life in black Washington for more than three decades, died May 16 at the Johns Hopkins University hospital in Baltimore. He was 75.

The death was confirmed by his manager Tom Goldfogle. The Washington Post reported earlier this month that Mr. Brown had been hospitalized for pneumonia.

Known as the “Godfather of Go-Go,” the performer, singer, guitarist and songwriter developed his commanding brand of funk in the mid-1970s to compete with the dominance of disco.

Like a DJ blending records, Mr. Brown used nonstop percussion to stitch songs together and keep the crowd on the dance floor, resulting in marathon performances that went deep into the night. Mr. Brown said the style got its name because “the music just goes and goes.”

In addition to being go-go’s principal architect, Mr. Brown remained the genre’s most charismatic figure. On stage, his spirited call-and-response routines became a hallmark of the music, reinforcing a sense of community that allowed the scene to thrive. As go-go became a point of pride for black Washingtonians, Mr. Brown became one of the city’s most recognizable figures.

“No single type of music has been more identified with Washington than go-go, and no one has loomed so large within it as Chuck Brown,” former Washington Post pop music critic Richard Harrington wrote in 2001.

Mr. Brown’s creation, however, failed to have the same impact outside of the Beltway. The birth of go-go doubled as the high watermark of Mr. Brown’s national career. With his group the Soul Searchers, his signature hit “Bustin’ Loose” not only minted the go-go sound, it spent four weeks atop the R&B singles chart in 1978.

“Bustin’ Loose” was “the one record I had so much confidence in,” Mr. Brown told The Post in 2001. “I messed with it for two years, wrote a hundred lines of lyrics and only ended up using two lines. . . . It was the only time in my career that I felt like it’s going to be a hit.”

It was Mr. Brown’s biggest single, but throughout the 1980s “We Need Some Money,” “Go-Go Swing” and “Run Joe” became local anthems, reinforced by radio support and the grueling performance schedule that put Mr. Brown on area stages six nights a week.

While rap music exploded across the country, go-go dominated young black Washington, with groups including Trouble Funk, Rare Essence and Experience Unlimited following in Mr. Brown’s footsteps.

Mr. Brown performed less frequently in his final years but still took the stage regularly. He would often comment on his golden years in rhyme.

“I’m not retired because I’m not tired. I’m still getting hired and I’m still inspired,” he said in 2006. “As long as I can walk up on that stage, I want to make people happy. I want to make people dance.”

Charles Louis Brown was born in Gaston, N.C., on Aug. 22, 1936. He never knew his father, Albert Louis Moody, a Marine. He took the surname of his mother, Lyla Louise Brown, a housekeeper who raised her several children in poverty.

What kinda shit is that? We can only be friends if you're not as successful as me?

Anyway, I don't think I believe this. Like the others said, it would be hard for Gayle to spill tea on Oprah without telling her own business too. Would def be an interesting read though.

If Gayle is Loyal and really respects the friendship that they have then she wont do it.. That is fked up how people and corporation are trying to destroy a friendship of so many years.. The world is totally corrupting and it try’s to come into between everything that is sacred.
