NEWS & GOSSIP

Terry McMillan Sets The Record Straight
Uneq Magazine's Exclusive Interview
By Raymonde Green, Editor In Chief

Homophobic. Maniac. Bitter. It is words like these that we’ve been hearing about literary icon Terry McMillan that made me cringe over the last couple of years as the details of her never ending divorce and alleged hate for the gay community played out. While some of the statements that Ms. McMillan has made to her ex-husband Jonathan Plummer may be unsavory to many of us, we have to ask ourselves what some of the beloved women in our own lives would have said or done in the heat of their passion and anger if this would have happened to them. Would we be so unforgiving still?

It has been nearly two years since this all began and you would think that this would have ended by now - but with Jonathan Plummer flooding the media as he promotes his new book we see that it is anything but over. This led to me sitting with Terry McMillan as she took time out from writing her new book Don’t Pity the Fool so that we could get to the bottom of this and get down to some of the never before said things about her marriage with Jonathan Plummer. In this exclusive UNEQ Magazine interview Terry reveals shocking and disturbing intimate details about the host of secrets in her marriage and how she was set up for defamation by Jonathan and his attorney.

Harry Potter Character Comes out of the Closet at Carnegie Hall!
Hear ye! Hear ye!  The witch hunt begins…or rather the warlock hunt. 

A couple of weeks ago at a book signing, the author of the Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling, announced that one of her characters is gay (you could have fooled me because I thought they were all gay). 

During a Q&A session after reading an excerpt from the final book in the series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Rowling was asked by a young audience member at a Carnegie Hall whether or not Albus Dumbledore (the old white bearded headmaster at Hogworth’s school of magic) finds "true love."

To this she responded flatly "Dumbledore is gay."  (Oh I wish I could have been in the room to witness the mortified parents who undoubtedly cupped their hands around their children’s ears.)

After dropping this bombshell and letting the crowd’s shock and awe pass, she then explained that Dumbledore was in love with his rival Gellert Grindelwald for years but it went tragically bad when Dumbledore was forced to face him in a battle of wizardry and defeat him.


Now of course since not everyone was a fan of Rowling’s work in the first place (i.e. Christian groups that have alleged the books promote witchcraft . . .  [should we be more concerned that these groups actually believe witchcraft exists?]) This news about Dumbledore will give them one more reason to pick up their torches and protest when the final film makes it to the big screen in the next year or so.

Keep it on the LowLo
By LoLo

Tell ya mama, tell ya friends, talk amongst ya selves but keep it on the LowLo. Welcome to the first installment of Keep it on the LowLo. No, this is not a column about brothers on the DL but don’t be surprised if you read about a few DL brothas. You have officially entered the crazed world of celebrity gossip and I - LoLo, will be your guide.  For all you celebrities and hanger-ons, most of what I write is alleged and hearsay so keep all the nonsense, bottle bashing (Da Brat), and publicist/lawyer harassment on the LowLo or to yourself.

Speaking of Brothas on The DL…

The cover of Lil’ Wayne’s soon to be released CD, Tha Carter III, has been leaked to the net and let’s just say that Lil’ Weezy is looking a Lil’ Gay.

Apparently Weezy let his ex-girlfriend, Trina, play makeup artist on his face and he liked it so much that he decided to shoot it for the cover of his album. Now you tell me, what straight man kisses other straight men on the lips and beats his face to look like Mimi from The Drew Carey Show. I can’t wait to hear his rationale for making this her (oops), his CD cover.  In other Lil’ Wayne news, he was seen leaving Manhattan’s criminal court on November 7th; Lil’ Wayne (whose real name is Dwayne Carter) was arrested last July after a concert in NYC for illegal gun possession. And of course, his “daddy”, fellow Nolia rapper Baby, was holding him down in court. That’s right . . . the gays must stick together.

Girl, maybe you shoulda kept this on the DL…

Rihanna wants the world to think she’s a lesbian. Pictures of her cupping another woman’s breast have surfaced on the net . . . yawn.

How convenient, considering she’s prepping for the re-release of her current CD Good Girl Gone Bad. I know that the girl on girl thing is popular with a lot of straight men but are straight men buying her album? She needs to get a little more original with the marketing for this re-release and stop recycling gimmicks from Janet and Madonna’s playbooks.

On the flip side, she’s now opening up about her rumored romance with Josh Hartnett.

Rihanna tells British magazine Mirror that she and Josh have been hanging out and “it feels so right – even though it’s still pretty new.” She went on to say that “I would be lying if I told you we were not more than just friends. He is so hot and is really sweet to me.” Wasn’t she just allegedly dating Shia Lebouf like a month ago and Jay-Z like another month before that? I guess she’s been get really wet and moist under her umbrella ella ella ella ey ey.

 

Jermaine goes Retro…

Jermaine Dupri was spotted at a party in Atlanta channeling his old self circa 1995.

Just kidding.  Actually it’s Janet dressed as her boyfriend Jermaine Dupri for his Halloween bash at his privately owned Studio 72 club. I wonder if Michael helped Janet put together this costume. Y’all know that Michael is the master of disguises…and Ebony magazine is the master of retouching (see their latest issue with Michael on the cover). Ain’t no way that Michael looks like this in person.

Back to Janet, she was interviewed on Atlanta’s Q100.5 and said that her next studio album is due out the first quarter of next year. She also said that Jermaine Dupri has yet to produce any songs for her album and is unsure if he will. Can the choir sing, ‘Amen’?!?! I’m really so un-excited about ever hearing Jermaine on anything with Janet. Let’s hope that LA Reid can help her craft a solid album.

Jermaine meanwhile is busying himself promoting his latest project Young, Rich and Dangerous: My Life in Music, an autobiography about his come-up in the music industry. In it he reveals what the fab life is like in the studio with Usher, Mariah, Lil’ Jon and Bow Wow. However, not every artist that worked with Dupri agrees that life with Jermaine was “So So Def”.

Tameka Scott, from the 90’s R&B group Xscape, was recently interviewed by Hot 97 morning show personality Ms Jones and girlfriend was dropping all kinds of bombs. She alleges that the main reason that the group dismantled was because Jermaine was sleeping with co-lead singer Kandi Burrus. That little man must be packing big thangs cuz he gets his.

 A Horse in Wolf Clothing….

For all you I Love New York fanatics, Mediatakeout.com has posted nude pics of current I Love New York 2 contestant, Wolf. ‘OoWee’- he wasn’t lying when he said “I got a big d#$k”. Now this ain’t that kind of website so y’all gon have to search for the pics on your own . . . but here’s a tip (http://www.mediatakeout.com/NSFW/Wolf_Exposed.html?). lol Take my word though, if that’s really him, then she should’ve called him ‘Horse’ instead of ‘Wolf’ - man oh man.

Anyways . . . whew . . . sorry still trying to catch my breath . . .

Is it me or is there only one straight man on the show and that’s Sister Patterson? Ok, maybe there are a few more but the vast majority of them are highly questionable. I know it’s all for show but at least make it believable. Regardless, I’ll be watching to the very end. Word on the street is that the winner is a “custom fit”.

Say it ain’t so………

  • Peer pressure is a beeyatch. Do you see something a lil’ extra with these two young divas?

 

 

  •  J Lo announced in Miami, at the final show of her US Tour that she’s carrying Skeletor’s baby . . . Duh!

  • Britney ordered to pay $120,000 of K-Fed’s lawyer fees. Where’s Johnnie Cochran when you need him? (RIP…)b

 

  • Once again, can the choir sing, Amen! Serena finally gets it right.
