The rumors are true.   After all the talk and even denial about the existence of a sex tape featuring Ray J and Paris Hilton's best friend Kim Kardashian has been sold to Vivid Video and has been released.   There has been more hype about this X-Rated DVD than some motion pictures.   The company is rumored to have paid $1 million for the footage from an unidentified source.   Kim has denied and even lied about the tape that is obviously well planned and recorded a lot better than home sex videos.   After watching this porno you would think they were paid actors in a studio.   Neither Kim nor Ray J seemed too shocked or surprised of the camera, but ready and willing to perform in more ways than one.   "There is no sex tape!   Ray J's not the kind of guy who would do something for revenge," Kardashian said in an interview with Complex Magazine .   "There is no amount of money that could ever convince me to release any tape, even if I had one.   I don't need the money," She went on to say.   So much for wishful thinking Kim , the tape is out of her being a naughty girl.   Superhead's ex-lover learned some moves from the video vixen that penned her sexual exploits in her book " Confessions of a Video Vixen ."   Ray had a great teacher and taking his knowledge to other willing students.   Vivid co-chairman Steven Hirsch told the New York Post :   "We are comfortable that we have the legal right to distribute this video.   I've seen the video and it's really great.   It has over 30 minutes of explicit sex that fans of erotica will find very appealing."   Hirsch went on to say that the video was apparently shot by Ray J three years ago when he and Kim were in a relationship and the viewers will definitely get their money's worth."  

Ray might be trying to pick up a little extra cash to help his sister, Brandy with her legal fees.   A not so little, Ray who has been rumored to be in a relationship with Whitney Houston has out done himself with a video fetish that will now be shared with the world.   Kim Kardashian is the daughter of the high powered attorney Robert Kardashian , stepdaughter of Olympic Gold medalist Bruce Jenner , and the best friend of Paris Hilton .   Seems Kim has taken a little more after her best friend, Paris than her two fathers with her wild sexual escapades on camera.   In the triple X video Ray J takes some moves from the man that looks like R Kelly and gives a willing Kardashian a Golden Shower, now for those of you that do not know what the term means-here you go- Ray J urinates on Kim .   See it for yourself!

Prince was the highlight of Superbowl weekend.   Events all week leading up to game day, but Saturday night rocked with the Pespi Concert hosted by Taye Gigges and outstanding performances by Kanye West , Common , L udricis , and Firgie was blazing until halftime on game day.   Taye and his wife, Broadway star Idina Menzel might be finished.   In Miami he did not act very married, which might be due to Idina spending the better part of last year overseas-doing the UK production of " Wicked " while Taye spent the year in Los Angeles shooting his failed series " Daybreak ".   Rumor has it that he may have been involved with Ashlee Simpson .   Taye brought in the New Year without his wife in Miami and she was absent when Taye attended a Superbowl party at club Makai.   He was seen and heard getting close to another blonde.   Wearing a scarf to protect his hair from the rain Prince was amazing.   Performing a medley of his best offerings and closing with " Purple Rain " in the rain was the icing on the cake, not to mention when FAMU's band marched out on the field took the halftime show to the next level.   All the talk about Prince and his deliberately using his guitar to create an enlarged X-rated image was totally absurd and pitiful.   The recent winner of a Golden Globe delivered the performance of a lifetime.   Although, in times past Prince has been known for his outrageous antics on stage and even showing his rear end in a yellow see throw outfit during an awards show.   History was made and no matter how you cut it both men were winners.   Tony Dungy lead his team to victory in a game that was not very exciting, the Indianapolis Colts took the win.   Superbowl made super history with the first African American NFL to take the title.   A bitter sweet victory when you actually think about in 2007 there are still African Americans to be the first to do anything.  

John Amaechi , a former player with the Utah Jazz and Orlando Magic , has become the first NBA player to come out and tell the world he is gay.   Amaechi announced publicly for the first time that he is gay and pushing his book " Man in the Middle ," which chronicles his NBA career and directly addresses the travels of being a closeted professional athlete.   Now it is not really a secret that John is gay, it has actually been rumored for years and he was even outed back when he was playing for the Orlando Magic by Randy Boyd, who wrote an article on the number of men in the NBA most likely to be gay.   Boyd came to his conclusion about John due to his love for gardening, listening to opera prior to games, writing poetry; none of these traits mean you are gay, but that you have a little class and a great appreciation for the arts.   The book traces his life from early childhood until he was bought out of his contract with the New York Knicks in early 2004.   Along the way it paints the picture of a very confused and lonely man that found comfort when he began to share is secret with his close friends and family.   Reared in England by a single mother, he did not discover basketball until his teens.   He spent one year playing high school basketball in the United States before going to Vanderbilt, where he played one season before transferring to Penn State.   It was there that he was named First Team Academic All-American; he was not drafted but was a rookie with the Cleveland Cavaliers .   He did not have a full time lover until he went to Europe after his time in Cleveland.   John returned to the NBA in 1999 and did not have sex until he went to the Jazz.   Once he had a guaranteed contract with the Jazz his mind was set at ease and he began to venture out to gay establishments picking up men and dating.   It was then that he developed a wide circle of friends that were mostly gay.   In his book he tells of his days going to gay clubs like New York's Splash and Los Angeles' Abbey and admits to all the rumors that were floating about him being spotted at these places while he was in the league.  

Drug Dealers and Killers Strike Again ...This week actor Granville Adams , you know him for this role as Zahir Arif on HBO's " Oz ," was arrested in New York and charged with criminally negligent homicide in the death of a man who fell down an elevator shaft.   According to investigators, Adams had been fighting with the victim Orlando Valle of the Bronx early Saturday morning at the Chelsea nightclub BED in New York.   Adams, 43, allegedly pushed Valle against sixth-floor elevator doors which opened, causing Valle to fall into the shaft.   Valle plummeted four floors before landing on top of the elevator car at the second floor of the converted warehouse space.   Valle, 35, was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead.   Now his younger sister, Luz, told the Associated Press that relatives and friends who had been at the club said he was attempting to calm a dispute, but instead became involved himself.   During Adam's arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court, his lawyer Edward Kratt argued that the elevator was faulty and solely responsible for Valle's Death.   According to the Kratt, his client was acting in self defense; Adams was hosting an event at the nightclub when he was attacked with a glass object on the back of the head.   He then felt someone climb on his back, which he threw off, which was Valle.   Big Momma always said that all money is not good money, which turned out to be the case for Granville Adams .   Never in his wildest imagination would he have thought that a paid appearance would result in his committing murder.

According to my " Street Committee "...All Star Weekend in Las Vegas was off the meter.   Never before have I seen so many people at All Star weekend with the hopes or desire to pay a hunk and a chunk to get in a crowded after party to get a glimpse of a NBA Star or another celebrity.   The strip was packed and traffic was beyond articulation, but it was All Star in Vegas.   For the first time I could ever recall gun shots rang out during the NBA weekend and my life flashed before my eyes.   Later it was discovered it was only fireworks, but at the moment thousands of people thought it was heavy artillery being fired.   Now history was made with the All Star being in a city that does not have a NBA team to host the activities.   Rumor has it that the Maloof brothers, which also own the Sacramento Kings would like to see the team relocate to Las Vegas.   Money talks and all the other stuff walks, but if All Star Weekend was any indication, Vegas will never get a team.   Charles Barkley bragged about winning $700,000, but he forgot to tell he lost $2 million; it was fun to watch Nelly and Jermaine Dupri work shooting dice over at the MGM.   The game was not supposed to be bet on, but get the hell out of here we were in Vegas.   Over 300 arrests were said to have been made on one night not to mention the number of fights and beat downs.   It was said that rapper E-40 was shot and killed by some female, but later it was found out to be a good look alike.   Look out for more on All Star news next week.

James Todd Smith got his chance to shine as the host of the 38 th Annual NAACP Image Awards.   LL was not without his hat nor did he stop licking his lips for the night of Black glamour.   For the first time in history the show was broadcast live from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, although it was cut to a two hour program it was a job well done.   Bono , Bill Cosby , and Soledad O'Brien were the trio to get huge honors.   "We were pleased and honored to have LL Cool J host our first live telecast," said executive producer Vicangelo Bulluck.   "His humor, intelligence and incredible talent made the awards and exciting evening to remember."   LL kept his suit on and did not show off is body that his book boast about and still managed to hold the audience attention and stay in front of the camera.   The same cannot be said for fellow actor Morris Chestnut and Avant , who presently does not have a music contract.   Both of the talented guys find themselves touring a stage play.   Far from the silver screen where we once could see Morris on a constant basis and not much can be said for the once R&B wonder Avant .   Stay tuned for my review of the David E. Talbert play both are appearing entitled " Love in the Nick of Tyme ."

Brian J. White is said to be dating Tyra Banks , but they did not appear together at the Image Awards.   However, Tyra had another one of her emotional episodes on the red carpet about her recently touching a guest breast.   Now get over it already.   If Tyra is going to do edgy stuff like feel up a guest on national television then she has got to be ready for the back lash.   Tyra is said to be feeling up the Brian J. White who recently starred in " Stomp the Yard ," however some that went to college with White says that Tyra is far to dark for his taste.   Apparently all the girls Brian dated during his football days at Dartmouth College were the same color as his last name.   Speaking of White , Academy Award Winnier, Cuba Gooding, Jr . had a Michael Richards moment while leaving the Butter nightclub in New York when he told a gang of reporters, "Many times, people say 'N*ggas' don't like the cold."   He then looked at the camera and said, "That's right, I said it."   Now the New York City Council made history with a city--wide legislation to ban the use of the N-word in thr big apple.   How can a man that is named Cuba use the N-word, even though he may feel his Oscar and white wife makes him honorary white?   It is extremely disappointing to watch the television clip of his actually using the racial slur .
