i met karrine steffans at her los angeles book signing event for her new book, "the vixen diaries". now, karrine and i come from two completely different worlds. i'm not a video vixen, nor am i really interested in the music industry's sexcapades. however, what drew my interest was simply, her life and struggle as a woman from the caribbean. my sister sent me her first book, "confessions of a video vixen" while i was living in santiago. apparently, this chick was creating quite a stir in hollywood by exposing her sexual tirades with "high profile" [i'm using that term loosely] celebrities, some of whom had families. to many, the book reads as a tell all. to me, it read as a woman's misguided journey through life and the unsympathetic dog-eat-dog entertainment industry.
after reading the book, i was actually proud of her. there are many "video vixens" or just plain ole hoes that get used and abused by the industry, never get out and damn sure never do anything productive with their lives. at least this chick wrote a book, made some money and to some degree was able to expose the entertainment industry for what it is.
when i heard of her second book, i really wanted to support her. BAD IDEA.
her second book sucked. her promo tour to follow was even worst. in all of her interviews she seems to have changed so much. everything is about how much money she has and how much of a celebrity she is. bitch is still a hoe. in one interview, she even stormed out yelling, "i cannot talk to ignorant black people". during her jaime foxx radio interview, she continuously refers to black people as "porch monkeys" and brags about the "millions" of books she has sold. i was just disgusted.
DON'T BUY THE BOOK. BORROW IT IF YOU MUST READ IT.
now, for the music segment of this blog. the day after vixen diaries released, so did keyshia cole's new album "just like you".the album is great. it's even better for people going through break-ups. meh.
