Superhead

Elise Neal

Word is out guys. Karrine "Superhead" Steffans has just landed a movie deal. It appears that her first book Confessions Of A Video Vixen is going to be made into a feature film. And actress Elise Neal is being looked at to play the lead role in the movie. But Elise told King magazine that she'd only take the role if Superhead were 100% behind her. She explained, "I just want it to be something she has a lot of control over... I would do it if it came together the right way." And MediaTakeOut.com discovered that Elise recently dropped another bomb. According to her, she and 50 Cent used to be an item. Here's a quote that Elise gave to a popular magazine.

      Self-described video vixen Karrine "Superhead" Steffans, who has written two books about her various sexual encounters with entertainers and athletes, has apparently set her sights on a veteran of ABC's "Family Matters" to live happily ever after.

      There have been long-standing rumors that actor Darius McCrary, who played Eddie Winslow in the series, is about to put a wedding ring on her finger. The actor, in turn, told Sister 2 Sister: "If you're gonna turn a ho into a housewife, that's the one to get."     

      McCrary claims to have enjoyed a three-month long "sleepover" with Steffans and tells the magazine that he was impressed with her ability to cook and keep a clean house.

       Although reports of a future trip down the aisle are rampant around the black blogosphere, Steffans would only tell EUR's Lee Bailey that her boyfriend is "a B-list actor."       

       McCrary also beamed to Sister 2 Sister that Steffans kept a board of all the various men she was juggling – and wrote his name at the top of the list.

*The accounting and disbursing of at least $500,000 donated to pay for the legal defense of the six black teenagers in Jena, Louisiana has been called into question, just weeks after 20,000 demonstrators protested what they decried as unequal justice for the defendants.      

The Chicago Tribune reports that parents of the "Jena 6” teenagers have refused to publicly account for how they are spending most of the cash, estimated at up to $250,000, in a bank account they control.   

Michael Baisden, a nationally syndicated black radio host who is leading a major fundraising drive on behalf of the Jena 6, has declined to reveal how much he has collected. Attorneys for the first defendant to go to trial, Mychal Bell, say they have yet to receive any money from him.

Dr. Donda West, mother of rapper Kanye West, passed away Saturday in Los Angeles presumably after suffering complications from cosmetic surgery. She was 58. Donda was a former English professor and chairwoman at Chicago State University who co-managed her son's music career. During a concert in New York on Sunday, Jay-Z paid tribute to Dr. West with a moment of silence. "This show is dedicated to Kanye West," he said. "We got you, Kanye. Stay strong."

Looks like Tameka "Tiny" Cottle T.I.'s mother of his 3-year-old son King, and another baby on the way is heading back in the recording booth. Friends say Tiny has long desired to return to recording and performing, however, T.I. was against it. His plan was for her to stay at home. But steaming gossip is that Tip may have changed his mind. Check out Tiny's Myspace page there are songs she has recorded, including a track with T.I. called "Lately". I personally don't like the song, but whatever.

No one is sure will the songs be released. It's been said that "T.I. said they would have to pay her more than what he is paying her to release her music."

It's been reported that Tip paid Tiny the equivalent of a recording contract to put her dreams on the back burner.

Moreover, TMZ.com is reporting that even though Dr. Jan Adams held a medical license to practice internal medicine, he was not board certified to perform plastic surgery. According to TMZ's sources, Dr. Adams took twice as long to perform what should have been a routine liposuction and breast reduction.

Additionally, Dr. Adams sent Donda West home after the surgery rather than to a recovery center where her vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure and respirations could be closely monitored. This would have been the appropriate course of action for a post-op patient.

Sources tell TMZ Donda West's operation lasted eight hours -- twice as long as it should have. We're told Dr. Jan Adams began the operation Friday morning and finished Friday evening. He then sent Ms. West home, rather than to a recovery center, which we're told, would have been appropriate.

Several doctors at Centinela Hospital where West was taken, tell TMZ they believe the excessive amount of time it took to perform the procedure strongly suggests either something went wrong during the operation or the doctor was just too inexperienced.

We're told she was dead the next evening at her home before paramedics arrived.

What's more, Dr. Adams is not Board Certified with the American Board of Plastic Surgery. (Source: TMZ.com)

Donda West served as chief executive of West Brands LLC, the parent company of her son's business enterprises, according to a biography on the Web site of the Kanye West Foundation, which she chaired. She was the former chairwoman of Chicago State University's English department and recently published the book "Raising Kanye: Life Lessons from the Mother of a Hip-Hop Star."

A Howard-Harris Funeral Home spokesman confirmed they have been contacted by the family to start making arrangements for an Oklahoma City funeral.

A confidential source has revealed the real reason behind Jay Z's "concept" album "American Gangster". The source who is close to Jay Z's camp, said Jay Z was "hurt" and "disappointed" that he didn't get the plum role of the Harlem numbers runner-turned-heroin dealer. The insider also said Jay Z felt slighted when the film's producers nixed his offer to record the soundtrack for the movie.

"He was assed out," said the insider. "They f*cked with his ego big time. Jay is not a man who can take no for an answer." The source also said Jay Z called in favors and tried to pull rank by going to Denzel Washington, who was eventually given the role. "The truth has never been told: Jay Z wanted the role years ago when Universal Studios first purchased the rights to "The Return of Superfly," said the insider, referring to the New York magazine article by Mark Jacobson.

The insider also claimed Jay Z entered into negotiations with then director Antoine Fuqua only to be turned away when Denzel expressed interest in the screen play. "Word gets around Hollywood fast when there's a good script, and Denzel wanted in on that project. Jay wasn't even taken seriously after Denzel's name got mentioned, but they kept stringing him along."

According to the insider, when Universal Studios cancelled production of "American Gangster" in 2004, Jay Z felt it was a sign from God. "He felt like if he wasn't going to be in it the movie shouldn't be made at all."

When production on the movie began anew in 2005, Jay Z changed tactics. "By then they had spent so much money on this thing, Jay just wanted to be involved in any way he could cause he thought [the movie] was going to be a block buster," said the source. Jay Z visited the set often and convinced his friend Denzel to talk to the producers on his behalf. "He wanted to do the soundtrack to the movie so bad, and initially everyone involved thought it was a great idea," said the source. "But nothing ever got signed - just a lot of talk.

"Once Jay realized they were stroking him again, he went into the studio to record his own soundtrack. He was in a race against time cause he wanted [the album] to compete with the movie," said the source. In September, Jay Z announced his new "concept" album "American Gangster" which he claimed was "inspired by" the movie. "Bullshit," said the source, - "At this point he doesn't want that movie to do well. Why you think all those clear studio copies of the movie are flooding the streets? This the first time a movie ever got bootlegged way before the movie was in the theaters. Only somebody with a studio copy could have done that."

After well over a decade of silence, former security guard for Death Row, Kevin Hackie, has revealed that he was infact an undercover FBI agency during his time at the label. Hackie’s admission comes after previous reports stated that he had been an informant for the FBI. News that Hackie was actually an agent as opposed to an informant (aka snitch) for the FBI came last Tuesday, October 16 during a panel discussion that followed a screening of the new movie, Tupac: Assassination, Conspiracy or Revenge? Hackie worked as a security guard for the label from 1992 to 1996 during the prime years of Tupac Shakur at the Death Row label.

According to Hackie, arrest will be made in the Tupac Shakur murder investigation. The news surprised several of the discussion’s attendees including the LAPD officer who made the comments that sparked Hackie’s earlier admission. Shakur was shot on September 6, 1996 in a drive-by shooting and died a week later. Hackie boldly admitted that arrests will be made for Shakur’s murder as well as for the one of Notorious B.I.G. who was shot and killed in Los Angeles in March of 1997, many believe in retaliation to Shakur’s shootings. During the initial court proceedings, Hackie alleged to have had “personal knowledge” about B.I.G.’s murder and that people within Death Row offered $25,000 dollars to a law enforcement officer to carry out the murder.

One site blast New York pointing out some key things a lot of us might not have known about the reality supastar!

Read More Below.  

Meet New York aka Tiffany Patterson. Tiffany attended Syracuse University (her mother is a professor at Syracuse - her father, a senior executive at a Fortune 500 company) in 2004 with a degree in Sociology. After graduating Magna Cum Laude, she persued a career in acting - securing an agent. Tiffany didn’t have too much success until her agency submitted her demo reel to VH1 producers who couldn’t pass up her self-absorbed nature and casted her for Flavor of Love … the rest is well documented TV history.

Haterism has reported on the winner of Flavor of Love 2 (we don’t want to spoil it for you if you want to be surprised - if you want to know, click here) which effects Tiffany’s current situation, so we won’t mention any of that in this story - but we can report on non-Flavor activities. Tiffany is currently available for appearances and commercials through her agent, The Morgan Agency.

Curiously, Tiffany is involved in several “get rich quick” schemes - like her Online Dollar Store and The Biggest Loser Diet Plan. She also has just announed that she’ll be giving away $20,000 in scholarships (10 $2000 scholarships) - we’re suspicious, but you can request more information by emailing Tiffany at: TiffanyAkaNY@yahoo.com

The Dirt: Tiffany was dating This Dude (Amari, a struggling model and car salesman) up until Flav put her back into the game (June 2006) and she enjoyed media attention once again. She apparently broke up with Amari via email and then went on to accuse him of being a violent sociopath. What an opportunist.
