If you have ever been the least bit interested in taking a peak into the secret lives of gossip bloggers and media personalities, you’re about to have your wish granted and your curiosity quenched. VH1 recently released the roster of shows that will be appearing on their spring schedule and one of them happens to be a new show that will be produced by “Love & Hip Hop’s” Mona Scott-Young entitled, The Gossip Game. According to the network’s press release, the show will provide viewers with a glimpse into the lives of seven well-known and ambitious media personalities.

The Gossip Game’s starring lineup includes: Kim Osorio, Editor-in-Chief of The Source; Angela Yee, co-host of Power 105.1′s The Breakfast Club, K.Foxx, co-host of Hot 97′s The Cipha Sounds & Rosenburg Show with K.Foxx; Sharon Carpenter of Global Grind; Vibe columnist, JasFly; Ms. Drama, host of Ms Drama TV blog and Vivian Billings of Hip Hop Gossip Site.

Judging by the press release, it appears that this show will play on the competitive landscape of the media industry, as many of the aforementioned cast members are rivals and ultimately duking it out with one another to get the latest exclusives and “preserve their place in the pecking order.”

The Gossip Game is executive produced by Brian Flanagan, Matthew Ostrom, Laura Palumbo Johnson and Sean Lee on behalf of Magilla Entertainment, Tone Boots and Jay Griffin for District Media and Mona Scott-Young for Monami Entertainment, Tom Ciaccio, in addition to a VH1 production team.

The show is scheduled to premiere Monday, April 1st at 9:00 pm EST and a few of the gossip girls are already buzzing about it.

CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago has logged its 500th homicide of 2012.

The last time the city reached the 500-homicide mark was in 2008, when the year ended with 512 killings. Last year, city records show Chicago had 435 homicides.

On Thursday, officials with the Chicago Police Department said the city was one homicide away from the 500 mark. Hours later, a 40-year-old man was fatally shot in the Austin neighborhood on the city’s West Side. Police say Nathaniel Jackson was found on the sidewalk outside a convenience store with a gunshot wound to the head late Thursday.

The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office says Jackson was pronounced dead at Stroger Hospital early Friday.

Jackson’s death remains under investigation. No arrests have been made.

Body Talk with Dr. Tosha Rodgers and Radio personality Ebony Steele

I had the pleasure of attending the kickoff event of Body Talk with Dr. Tosha at Bar One with a panel of professional and influential women. Apart of the panel were personal trainer Jenelle L Salazar, The V Bar Lady, Yvette of Rolling Out Magazine, and CaRen Ogle of RevealingMoments.org.

As told by leading publicist Christal Jordan of Enchanted PR; Is Your Body Talking to You? was created to help negate the feelings of embarrassment and shame women often face when discussing their bodies with their personal physician. Regular visits to your OB/GYN, understanding your body and what your body is saying will ensure you continue to be your best and most healthy YOU!

With well over fifty women in the audience the chat was on. With a diverse group of panelist who came from different professional back grounds, questions were asked from all directions. Take in some of the discussion questions below;

Why is there constant pain in my abdomen?

How can a successful business woman not intimidate a man with her success?

How can one satisfy her partner?

How can I lose weight in my waist line?

How often must I eat to maintain my weight?

What are the best feminine products to use on my private areas?

Some facts given were:

You can still bare children after having an abortion.

Did you know it only takes an inch in a half of a penis to climax?

Not many know that a pap smear is just a screening for the actual test that may be needed.

There is such thing as having relationship dependency.

And plus more…….

I must say I was honored to have been invited to this event. Not to mention I was excited that AW Media Group and Enchanted PR have plans to take this panel on the road and to various colleges. A forum like this is needed as it offers free advice at no cost and not to mention the environment was so comfortable and open you will have no problem revealing some of your most intimate issues.

New Orleans- July 6-8th was an awesome experience for myself. I have been to the city a few times before only to simply promote my latest book project but this year alone I was there to be a part of the Essence Music festival. I had the pleasure of visiting several booths after hosting a book signing in the showrooms book store. There were plenty of events happening and I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t mention the beautiful setting of the My Black is Beautiful Experience Lounge.

This experience was set for the many on goers of the festival who wanted to experience make overs from professional beauty technicians. Having been on a journey myself of changing and branding my very own image I was very interested in the partnered products that were a part of the experience such as the CoverGirl Queen Collection, Pantene Relaxed & Natural, and Olay. Having a professional remake your face with all of these beautiful products would not only help you know which products are best for you but you can learn how to beautify yourself on your own.

There were an abundance of celebrities who visited the experience to show their support and participate in the activities such as The likes of songstresses Faith Evans, Carl Thomas, Raheem Devaugh and Eric Roberson, June Ambrose, LeToya Luckett, The OMG Girlz, reality stars Eva Pigford, Cynthia Bailey, Toya Wright, the cast of WE TV’s “Braxton Family Values”, Tisha Campbell Martin and Coco Jones.

Engaging activities that included:
