THIS BOOK IS PUT FOLKS ON BLAST

The advanced copy of Terrance Dean’s much anticipated Hiding In Hip Hop book has been sent to several media folks already. And the folks over at Gawker are highlighting some of Dean’s “outings”. The book is also going to talk about Dean’s come up in the industry, his early life, and other important parts of his career. Terrance isn’t naming any actual names directly in this book though, which has been publicized as the guide to who’s secretly gay in the hip hop and entertainment industry. But he is revealing folks in blind item form and in much detail. One example: Dean’s friend “Corey” is a singer-songwriter who was featured on the MTV series The Cut, opened shows for Jay-Z, appeared in a Broadway musical, and then signed with “Eli, a popular multiplatinum rapper, who had just started a label at the time (in the 90s).”  “Eli was a force to be reckoned with. He flew out the gate with his debut album and would become a mainstay in the ever-changing Hip Hop industry, where many rappers are one-hit wonders. He has been hailed as one of the greatest rappers to bless the mic.”  It turns out that Corey has been giving oral sex to Eli (whom Dean describes as “fine as hell”) in Eli’s home studio. “Up until that moment I had never heard anything remotely close about the rapper being gay. Eli was a burgeoning superstar who parlayed his marketability into television and movie credits. He even had a promising clothing line. But every man’s got needs and Eli’s needed tending to.” This ish ought to get interesting. Who’s your guess? (YBF)

I THOUGHT YOU LIKED THE PEE PEE

The R. Kelly kiddie porn trial kicked off jury selection yesterday, but apparently the biggest issue for participants was the smell of pee  we mean, literally. Kelly "frequently held a tissue over his nose" during the nine-hour session, and even the prosecutors had to complain about the odor wafting in from the bathroom

YOU GOT KNOCKED THE F**** OUT SUGE



A TMZ source was there last night, and witnessed Suge talking to a guy -- and the convo was friendly enough at first. Then it turned. Suge shouted, "I want my money!" Suge then rushed the guy with the help of his posse, and began hitting and kicking him. Get this -- during the fight, Suge put a random guy in a headlock, demanding his cellphone. THE KNOCKOUT: People outside the club broke up the fight, and as the beatee got up, he landed a right hook to Suge's face, knocking him out cold. We're told Knight was out for nearly three minutes. His peeps then rushed him into a nearby SUV. BTW, after Suge woke up, he began yelling for the phone he had just taken from the random guy.



DO WE REALLY WANT YALL TO TRY THIS

Ne-Yo recently told MTV News that he believes that him and Fabolous might realistically do a Best of Both Worlds type of album in the future. Here is a direct quote: "We've been talking about doing some stuff," Ne-Yo explained. "For whatever reason, me and Fab, our energies together make a lot of sense. Our voices sound good together, and it works out. So who knows? Jay and R. tried it. For whatever reason, it didn't exactly go the way it was supposed to go. Maybe we will try it. We have been definitely talking about it, but nothing is set in stone. So don't hold your breath waiting on that album, but don't assume it's just not gonna happen. It's possible
