More From Faith's Book

Transcribed by Myra Panache "I was on a rare break between tour dates. Valentine's Day had just passed and I got a call from Big. He was in New Orleans for a show. "I want to see you," he said. My heart skipped a beat. I flew to New Orleans, when I got to his room, it was filled with all of Junior M.A.F.I.A guys. But Lil Kim was absent. I'd told Big on numerous occasions that I was going to beat the shit out of her as soon as I saw her. So I assume he made sure she was nowhere nearby." "Big and I settled into our usual routine: Sharing a blunt, a meal and each other. I felt like there might be a possibility that we could get back together. He felt so familiar to me and I felt safe around him. I wasn't going to ask him. I decided I'd let him come to me if that's what he wanted. I was just going to stay in the moment and enjoy the time we were sharing. But I did think it was a good sign that we were together. He wasn't with Kim. He wasn't with Tiffany. He was with me, his wife. What neither of us knew was that spending that night in New Orleans would end up connecting us forever." "A few weeks later, I sat in the bathroom of my apartment and stared at the little white stick with the dark blue line. I was pregnant and I know exactly how it happened. I couldn't believe it. Big and I rarely used protection and I'd only gotten pregnant once, early on in the relationship. I'd had a miscarriage before we could think about what we were going to do about it." "I decided I was keeping this baby. I called Big to share the news." "He didn't sound happy or sad. Just very noncommittal. "You keeping it?" he asked. "Yeah. I am," I said. It was a quiet moment. "Are you sure?" "Yes, I'm sure..." Big made a weary sound. "Homegirl got pregnant, too," he said. "What does that have to do with me?" "I made her get an abortion," he said. I asked, "So what are you saying?" "You sure this is the right time?" he said. "Look," I told him. "I wasn't prepared for this, either. I know we're not together. But now we're going to be parents. And we'll have to make it work. You can figure out how to relay all of that to your little girlfriend." "The next day, the doctor confirmed that I was having twins." I ran into Angie Martinez, a DJ on Hot 97, at a party. I told her, "Me and Big are having a baby!" Of course Angie announced it on her show the next day. "One day, this Tiffany chick called my house in the early days of my pregnancy, I was not amused. "You supposed to be having Big's baby?" she asked me. "Who the fuck is this?" "This Tiffany. I want to know what's going on. You supposed to be having twins or something?" "Are you out of your mind?" I asked. I had actually just found out that one of my eggs had failed to develop and that I was carrying one baby. I asked her, "Did Big tell you to call me?" No she said, before she could finish, I told her, don't ever call my fucking house. She said, "Well, I don't know how Big gonna be supporting no new baby. He said he was gonna pay for my father's funeral!" Why ya'll not divorced anyway? I studied law in school and I know it don't take that much to get a divorce." I told her, "You are talking to the wrong person right now, don't make that mistake again."

Sandy "Pepa" Denton, of Salt and Pepa fame is the latest celeb to write a tell all. And while she tells a lot, she doesn't exactly tell all.

Anyway, here are a couple of sound bites from Pep's promo tour where she talks about Left-Eye and her baby daddy, Treach.

Karrine's second book, The Vixen Diaries, has been out for a week and though I can't find a single review without complaints that she doesn't dish nearly as much in this book as she did the last, she still managed to debut at number 6 on the New York Times Best Sellers list. One spot behind The Goldman's OJ if I Did It.

Denise Brown Says Boycott Goldman's OJ Book

Last month, a federal bankruptcy judge awarded rights to OJ Simpson's book "If I Did It" to the Goldman family to help satisfy a $38 million wrongful death judgment against Simpson. In a statement, murder victim Nicole Brown's sister Denise accused Goldman's father, Fred Goldman, and other family members of hypocrisy for publishing a book that he had called "disgusting and despicable" when Simpson first planned to publish it. Denise says she is shocked and horrifed that the Goldman's literary agent reached an agreement with Beaufort Books to publish the controversal book. She also says she can't bear the fact that her sister's two children "will have to be subjected to this step by step manual on how their mother and her friend Ron were murdered."

OJ Simpsons Airs Out The Goldmans

OJ Simpson did an online interview about his feelings on the Goldmans being awarded rights to that disgusting book he wrote in order to settle the $35 million dollar wrongful death settlement they won against him. Oj says,"I find it sort of hypocritical that they talked everybody in America to boycott the book: it was 'immoral,' it was 'blood money,'" he told interviewer Kate Delaney. "But we now see it wasn't 'blood money' if they got the money." People were allowed to call in questions and one caller asked OJ if he thought it was "a bigger feat to break 2,000 yards in one season or slice two necks in one night." Oj didn't answer the question.

"If I Did It" Book Was Arnell's Idea

Remember last week when we said Arnell Simpson had to tesify in the case about who should get the rights to that book her father wrote called "If I Did It"? She testified that the book was originally her idea. Can you believe that!? I bet it wouldn't have been her idea if it had been her mother. Anyway, the Goldman's were awarded the book rights. They plan to rename the book, "Confessions of a Double Murderer" and sell it.
