Monique's Publicist Quits

Remember when we talked about how Monique was refusing to do press for her upcoming film 'Precious Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire' unless they paid her $100,000 or more [click here if you missed that]? Well Monique's publicist, of all of two weeks, quit on her ass because Monique is still refusing to show up anywhere. She didn't go to the Toronto Film Festival, she didn't go to Cannes, she won't do the talk show circuit, and she won't be at the film's premier this Friday night in New York. Just about the only place she did go was the Sundance Film Festival in Colorado where she received the Special Jury Prize and that was back in February. Hear that? That's the Oscar buzz dying down because nobody likes a premature diva.

How Nice of Fat Joe

to thank Jay Z and Swizz Beats for coming to his party the other night, especially considering it was just a regular club night. Snitches in the house say Jay rolled up in a jeep with no doors and the top off blasting BP3 [which slipped to #2 on the charts with week], and once inside didn't say one word to Joey, stole all the shine and left Crack seething in the VIP nursing a bottle of Hen Dog Kanye West Style. Nice to know there are no hard feelings.

Drunk as Hell

That's how they described Mariah Carey the other night. They say she showed up, without her husband Nick, at a resturant in New York and was so sloshed she could bearly speak and had to hang on to her bodyguards to keep from falling. She must she be celebrating her new cd release, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel. Or not.

Diddy Says

"I guess the things that used to thrill me don't thrill me so much anymore. Intimacy is more important to me than sleeping with hot chicks. I don't even know if I really savored every menage a trois I had. I don't want to do it all over again."

You should be honored by my lateness. That I would even show up to this fake shit

It's not the chicken it's the principal, Smokey. According to rumor, Kanye's latest tantrum was thrown backstage at a benefit concert for rapper Common's Common Ground foundation. They say when Kanye arrived backstage and saw other people eating chicken, he loudly demanded to know, "Why wasn't I offered chicken? You want me to perform for free, and everyone is eating... why am I not eating?" When a server informed 'Ye it's because he hadn't asked for any, and subsequently brought him a plate, they say your boy took one bite and threw the rest in the trash!

LisaRaye Denies Rev Al

LisaRaye and Rev. Al Sharpton had been photographed at several events together and rumors swept the Internet [read: Black entertainment blogs] that they were dating. Well, LisaRaye wants you to know that the good reverend does not have enough money to date her is not her new man. According to her reps, the reason they've been showing up together is because LisaRaye's foundation, Radiant Jewels [<--awards scholarships to young girls], is involved with Al Sharpton, Newt Gringrich and Education Secretary Arne Duncan's White House Education Tour. "Every time you see LisaRaye with some person, don't assume that she's dating them," her rep says. "There's a bigger picture to what she's doing."
