"Stop By and Book Your Party”

Twinkle twinkle, babies. It’s your favorite“starchild” buzzin’ among the stars with a littlechitterchat…

Everybody is still talking about stellar perfor-mance at the Crown Coliseum from the one and onlyPatti Labelle. A part of the Community Concert Se-ries, Patti entertained fans from 7 to 70, singing herhits, doing a slide-show tribute of stars present and past(including a picture of Trayvon Martin) and even tookthe audience to church a little with a few gospel songs.But, no doubt, the highlight of the evening was whenshe invited a few of the audience members on stage tosing with her. And our very own County CommissionerCharles Evans literally stole the show, singing anddancing on stage with Patti. Word has it, Patti mighteven make room in her band for our illustrious Com-missioner in future concerts. (smile)

When you’re hot you’re hot. Just ask Kevin Hartwho’s just been added to the ESSENCE Music Festi-val Lineup at the beginning of July in New Orleans.The comedian/actor is currently starring in the numberone box office hit “Think Like A Man.”

Speaking of hot (and I’m sure the guys will lovethis one), actress Taraji P. Henson poses nude for Al-lure magazine’s annual “The Naked Truth” issue. The41-year-old actress who is clearly proud of her bodysays she parades around naked in her NYC apartmentall of the time: no shades, no curtains, no blinds. Isthat screeching I hear the sound of men making theirway to NY or the magazine scene stand? LOL

After the latest Republican fiasco with Rep.Michele Bachmann using the term “tar baby” to at-tack President Barack Obama’s energy policy, youeither have to shake your head at the blatant racismand constant barrage of lies and derogatory remarksmixed with back-handed apologies that keep comingfrom the Republican party...or laugh at the desperateattempts to constantly throw attention off the fact thatthey are so obviously flawed and their campaign isweaker than it was four years ago with McCain andPalin. I only have 2 words to say: Deez nutts!!

More scandal hits the “Real Housewives of At-lanta.” Fresh on the heels of finding out that ShereeWhitfield was lying about building her “Chateau-Sheree,” we find that another housewife is lying aboutowning her home. Newlyweds Kim Zolciak and KroyBiermann apparently rent their home instead of ownit. Tax records show the home is actually owned by

Antonio and Kendra Davis - who took the home off the market last Spring - when Kim andKroy began renting the home. As I have said many times before, whether it’s “Real House-wives” or “MTV Cribs,” rarely are these homes owned by the stars you see on these shows.But it does looks good on television, doesn’t it? And there would be the point...of acting.Moving on.....

Singer Eric Benet is quite pleased with his new efforts and admits he’s really outdonehimself with the latest album, “The One,” scheduled to drop June 5. In a recent interview, theR&B singer says, “I called the album ‘The One’ because this is the one; the one I’ve beendreaming about my whole career and working towards. I’m definitely at the top of my gamevocally. And those fans, or kinda fans out there that have maybe liked an Eric Benet song ortwo but never really purchased an entire album, this is the one they gotta get.” Don’t have totell me twice. ;-)
