Insider’s New Book Dishes on R. Kelly and the Late Aaliyah

Oh yes, here is some dirt. All of these years have gone by and many suspected something more between singers Aaliyah and R. Kelly. Now there just might be something to back the rumors.

The tome threatens to expose the skeletons in Kelly’s closet, long hidden beyond the child porn and underage sex stuff. Kelly is even quoted talking about his relationship with late song bird Aaliyah.

Currently promoting her newest book “Satisfaction,” Karrine Steffans is suddenly claiming that the stories of her sexual encounters with famous athletes and entertainers detailed in her memoir “Confessions of a Video Vixen” were all untrue.

“I’m a writer. I write sh*t. The vixen doesn’t exist. You can’t tell people that because they don’t believe that. It was all fabricated. I didn’t even name my books.

I want to be anonymous. I want to be anonymous. Authors are supposed to be anonymous.

Damzels' two cents: Raise your hands if you think she took a community college class on writing and now wants to be taken seriously? Hmmm? Oh, you too?


Flavor Flav Details Drug Habit in New Memoir

Not for the most intelligent reader, Flavor Flav pens his memoir on his past drug addictive life and how he managed. Flav says he spent thousands of dollars on drugs a day – for six years.

In his new memoir “Flavor Flav: Icon," Flav says, “I was spending $2,600 a day, for six years, every single day (on drugs). I don’t know how much that is, but, if you did the math, wow, I went through a lot of money,” he told PopEater. “If I did the math I’d probably be shocked on how much money I spent, I’d probably punch myself in the face.”

Based on his estimate, he would have spent nearly $5.7 million over a six-year period just to fuel his addiction.
