Celebrity Dish Interview Spotlight- Evelyn Lozado Talks Cheating, Children, Cash, Money and New Book Wives Association
SHOCKING NEWS- Whitney Houston Reportedly Was With Author Ray J Just Moments Before her Death+ Excerpts of his Book Releasing Tomorrow in Stores!
Whitney Houston may have been infatuated to see RAY J, her ex plaything, and confessed cheater in his new book sent to us Federal Express at a pre-Grammy event and wanted nothing more than to wind down, relax her nerves and get some rest before her big day at the Grammys. The public won’t know the cause of Whitney’s death for perhaps weeks although LiteraryDish.com has made an effort to tie alcohol and prescription drugs as a possible cause of Whitney’s death, and usually the cause at such a young age.
Whitney was only 48 years young. Even though tons of media resources report she was dead broke literally and may have drowned herself in her hotel bathtub, there was speculation surfacing that she might be considered as Simon Cowell’s replacement for Nicole Scherzinger on X FACTOR, and so more than likely the comeback singer was exasperated having met so many old acquaintances.
Our sources say she may have been so excited about seeing the handsome, and sometimes off the wall and animated, starving for attention, Ray J who could be the charmer who distracted Whitney literally from all senses. What a burden to hold on one’s shoulders the day before the release of his new book. Here are some excerpts by Ray J we read:
ON HOW I LEARNED NOT TO CHEAT:
” I had to learn to hate the old me, ” as MB told me… I’d always thought that I was being a man when I cheated.” For real, as far as I knew, all men cheated, so I felt like we were all built this way. That’s why I didn’t know if any man could ever really change.”
ON THE GIFT AND THE CURSE : WHY MEN CHEAT:
“I feel like every man has to cheat… we are cursed to cheat. Just like God cursed women to have periods, men are cursed to cheat because women demand monogamy.”
On a last note,any women might kill themselves too if they dated Ray J. What a(CHEATER). He’ll always be remembered as the guy who distracted Whitney Houston, but we won’t build a BON FIRE FOR HIS NEW BOOK yet until we hear your opinion dishers!

Just In: Kelly Rowland Cares About Her US Sales and Isn’t Giving Up on Her American Fans
Kelly Rowland isn’t giving up. She currently holds the no.2 position on Billboard, but next week she could hold number one if post death Amy Winehouse if mania for her classic album, Back to Black do not chart up to no.1, but that wouldn’t be so bad since people flocking to stores will inevitably discover Kelly Rowland’s album. It just so happens that when angels fall, angels rise and buying Kelly’s album with Amy Winehouse album is an awesome music combination to take home.
She’s currently touring from city to city to sign copies of her album and that is how it should be. Most music fans await until an artist comes out to their city to get signed copies from artist in person. It makes sense. Based on signings with Kelly in the past stores nearly have to shut down to form lines outside the door. As soon as she hits overseas to promote her album sales will skyrocket.

LITERARYDISH.COM BOOK REVIEW: Fail Up by Tavis Smiley
Nene Leakes vs Star Jones vs Meatloaf- What Side Are You On?
Nene Leakes checks Star!
Star Jones checked Nene Leakes
First of all, Star Jones is a sorority sister. All respect to one of the hardest working ladies in entertainment law. She has been featured on The View, survived a somewhat public roasting over her failed relationship with a supposed gay man, had a tv show for a short burst and has authored 2 bestselling books, one called,”Shine’ and her most recent, “Satans Sisters.” Now we get to see her true inner spirit and fighting edge on the hit show, Celebrity Apprentice, which her STAR power lent an edge of enthusiasm to the show and predicted outcome that all hell would freeze over before she got fired. Apparently, a well spoken and educated woman she used her business savvy and a little street savvy to manipulate friendships and counter attacks on just about everyone who stood in her way.
Heather Covington responds to Author Zane’s FB Question- “Why Do Women Tend to Blame the Other Woman When Their Man Cheats?”+ POLL REPLIES
Last year the literary community observed Zane communicating on Twitter with the LiteraryDish about a project she wanted to write. It was so surreal because I stayed with Zane online practically 24/7 until she completed her book. Over 40 tweets were exchanged between Zane and I. Call it MASTER ENERGY to MASTER energy. Zane completed her book in one week and I completed editing a children’s book. We were done at the same time with our projects. Zane’s book is now a New York Times Bestseller and the children’s book I edited has since then grossed 125,000 mass sales. This is why I openly tell folks I am a Zane fan. She exudes a powerful energy and has adopted me somewhat as one of her naughty literary children on controversial topics in forums, but trust she has millions of naughty readers who don’t mind discussing some of the most controversial issues in relationships. She’s our Relationship Expert before the notion began and we are all in training.

LiteraryDish.com Exclusive: How to Get a Big Butt in 1 Month -Guaranteed to work
First of all, I don’t know why black women in this time and age would want a big rump. You can’t run like skinny girls, nothing fits you right and your fat ass is always in the way. Take it from me. I have fam members and friends who punch my butt like it is a punching bag when I pass by and they go flying to the other side of the room not for the size, but because it’s all muscle thanks to gymnastics, ballet and pilates. A lot of skinny chicks actually have well contoured muscular rumps that look a whole lot better than a fat sloppy butt. Don’t believe the hype, men hate sloppy big butts, but if its a well contoured and shaped bottom with a Brazilian lift you should thank your mama.
TEKILA NIKA: The Forbidden Bronx Video Diary Tales Latest Crime Played Out in Real Life NEWS
Heather Covington pens urban thriller to build new publishing companies and knock readers off their seat
OCTOBER 14, 2010
Updating often!
The young teens want HARLEMS, those patten leather sneaks and are willing to stick up anyone in New York to get fast cash and very dangerous. They may or may not be gang members. Read up to be safe. Tonight a group of kids targets a Latin woman walking home from work to an exclusive neighborhood with houses going from 800,000 and up.
As soon as she turned the corner the guys fast walked and bum rushed her for one of those fancy pocket books, bu she tried to make a dash for it in heels. she went click clack clucking all the way down 2 blocks as the guys continued to pursue her with a slow jog and loaded with pistols in their hands according to resources.
When they caught up to her they threw her off her balance and she landed on her face. They next grabbed her bag and continued to run around corner of same block and disappeared into the night and without a trace. More than likely these are kids who come to pricey neighborhoods to commit a crime as evidenced and exposed in my super urban thriller Tekila Nika. What’s sad is that they don’t care who you are and will pop a bullet in you if you try to run, fight or stand there in a face off.
It’s like a game of Russian Roulette to this thugs and with the cutbacks in spending on crime prevention and law prevention in cities we can expect to see more of these crimes surface. And you wonder why everyone wants to be strapped in NYC. Imagine walking home from your commute and being robbed. What would you do? Any split decision could mean life or death.
LiteraryDish.com predicts 700,000 first week sales for Trey Songz New Album- Passion,Pain & Pleasure and Here is Why!
LiteraryDish.com predicts 700,000 first week sales for Trey Songz New Album- Passion,Pain & Pleasure and Here is Why!
LiteraryDish.com predicts 700,000 in sales of Trey Songz new album Passion,Pain & Pleasure if copies are not suppressed due to low expectations of stores during this fall phase of outbound recession and here is why?
Right now Usher has gone universal so he is on a pop vibe which was expected for his latest Usher Vs Raymond transition album. Nothing wrong with that, but there are no solid RnB romantic balladeers taking over airwaves to the capacity of Trey Songz right now as far as more than one hit. Trey has many hits.
Add to the fact that almost every new urban book has a scene stealer with mention of Trey Songz in the background for the most passionate scenes hidden in their pages and that’s over 500,000 literary + music lovers alone digging Trey Songz. Yet, you don’t see a single music artists reading books or even shouting out authors. This may severely backfire because an unrepresented audience gets fickle fast. You don’t want to piss of the literary community. At some point one should have a passion for books.
Surprisingly, the literary community of authors and urban readers are virtually non-credited for creating hype around artists in their own communities and networks, but like intricate and electrical impulses they make it happen. It’s like each author or book lover has 1000 friends and they shout out to their base and the cycle continues until 1 million people now know a musician thanks to the literary community.
If Trey Songz album does not fly this week it’s because the literary community did not represent. The literary community is powerful. I have seen what they can do for people’s careers. I worship literary people like sacred jewels. These are my people. Okay, let me cut the dramatics.
Are you buying Trey Songz Cd? Prove it! Send me your book with a scene showing tribute to just one of his songs. I’ll be back with results and new books. Got quite a few book entries with mention of his last album sales. Not making this stuff up folks.

Like pedestrans who cross the streets and get int he way of cars and traffic daily, I found it strange that these helpless geese were murdered when it is clear that airplanes see these geese on their radar before landing and refuse to maneuver or land in emergency runways when these geese take flight.

Million Dollar Book Review: Is DejaVu: Beyond the Veil II by Suzetta Perkins the Next Book to Hit the Big Screen?
Click on Heather Covington’s Literary Divas Book Party Online Top 10 Book of The Month to Order Book Today!
Suzetta Perkins, the critically acclaimed author of books like Behind the Veil, A Love So Deep, Ex-Terminator and Life After Marriage, returns with a scandalous tale of murder, revenge, hidden secrets and enthralling surprises revolving around ex-stripper and felon convict, Angelica Barnes, in the sequel DejaVu: Behind the Veil II.
The masterfully woven tale begins in a corrections facility terror-hole with 26 inmates sharing one room at the mercy of not just each other, but Sgt. Macy, a lonely wilder-beast -like woman who preys on female inmates for sexual favors, and especially the attractive Angelica Barnes soon to be scheduled for release.
Intensity builds from the moment Angelica leaves the corrections facility as she anticipates rekindling her friendship with her best friend of 5 years past, Margo Myles, the woman she betrayed the day she slept with her husband, Jefferson Myles, but was able to keep their scrupulous affair a secret.
Severely guilt ridden, Angelica Barnes now has an opportunity to restart her life, and despite that her brother, Edmund Thompson, a top attorney’s failure to block her imprisonment sentence. He haphazardly sells Angelica’s former home outside of Fayetsville as a sibling trustee who wilfully ties up Angelica’s money in a trust fund.
Dependent on her brother, he situates Angelica in a a luxury condo. In a desperate attempt to restructure her past life as a pole dancer, Angelica Barnes is able to get the gig of a lifetime with Donna, Celebrity Photographer of the Stars, but trouble ensues when her boss is found dead.
With tension between her and Donna on a prior set over creative differences and cops inability to find out who killed Donna, Angelica becomes perplexed as more people around her wind up dead. As the story literally unveils itself, someone is obviously a cold-blooded murderer. The tales ending abruptly reveals the underground world of a criminal who will kill anyone by any means necessary to acquire wealth, but who could it be?
A well-written masterpiece by Suzetta Perkins, DejavVu Beyond the Veil II is a tale filled with SUSPENSE, ACTION and a BOLD BREATHTAKING twists and turns that gravitate the reader to keep reading from beginning to end, and as Angelica Barnes discover people in her circle from Donna and Margo to ex-lover Santiago and flings with other friend’s husbands who either wind up dead, a friend, foe and perhaps a murderer no one would ever suspect.
With an equally beguiling cover, DejaVu: Beyond the Veil II is a sizzling tale for book lovers who have added Suzetta Perkins books as ongoing favorites to their bookshelves. A gifted and natural born “Architect of Suspense” writer is born.

Here are some questions that I asked about celebrities and the TOP 10 News Trends of 2009 that Timothy Prolific Jones goes in on during our 30 minute Get PerSOULnal Session:
1.Was Alicia Keys wrong to date, Swiss Beatz, a married man and Hip Hop producer and artist, who claims he had broken up with Mashonda or is she a home wrecker?
2. Are reality tv shows like “I Want to Work For Diddy,” “For the Love of Ray J” and “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” relevant toward the Black Experience or a waste of time depicting a poor image of Black America?
3. Was Lil Mama wrong for rushing the stage to pose with Jay Z at end of his “Empire State of Mind” duet with Alica Keys or within her rights as a woman in Hip Hop?
4. Are you attracted to female celebrities with surgical enhancements or are these women overrated?
5. Is there a conspiracy against the Hip Hop community since one-by-one they are getting locked up for minor things like T.I., Lil Wayne, Buju Bantan while national crime is on the rise?
6. Does Chris Brown, a confessed woman abuser deserve another chance at his career?
7. Should Tiger Woods title as Person of the Decade be stripped due to his serial infidelity?
8. Did President Barack Obama deserve the Nobel Peace Prize or is he prematurely being crucified in his first year of office by naysayers?
9. Are you writing a book to exploit the Black experience like the movie Precious has been accused of by critics or will the book offer solutions for change?
10. Does America’s Hip Hop community ignore and reject suburban racism of Blacks in Long Island as part of the struggle because of the lavish lifestyle of suburban Blacks?
11. Do you know why Nikki Giovanni chose a female over the top poets of America during a past taping of BETs LYRICS lounge?
12. Where are those poets today like J IVY and Sho Love Da Poetic?
13. Are you aware that you have been ordained by poets nationwide as the creator of The Movement, and poet to bring back the love of poetry?
14. What are your goals for Indelible and Legacy Publishing?
15. What other pioneers are part of this movement?
16. Do you know why you were selected as the first audio interview guest of Disilgold SOUL Magazine’s LiteraryDish.com Radio?
17. What are your goals for www.andremauricepress.com ?
18. Do you have a poem that will sum up the struggle of blacks on Long Island often ignored until now and may hold the beginning of a movement for suburban blacks?
I had a 30 minute interview date with Timothy Prolific Jones that I very much enjoyed and we went back to our personal lives and significant others leaving the tension online for listeners for what makes for a great conversation and radio interview between a female and male poet.
Warning, your true writing soul will surface after listening to the full interview and writers every where tuning in will be ignited to pick up a pen and renew their passion as POETS. Let this be the reason why POETRY IS BACK on this day!
