Five Minute Fix August 4th

I had a chance to listen to one of my radio show from 2002 courtesy of my intern Jeremy. Jeremy has been a fan of my show and HOT 105 since he was 13. One of the features he loved was my 411 Entertainment Update. A feature that was X'ed for its length. However, Jeremy pointed out to me that not only did he look forward to the latest entertainment news, but he loved my spin on it. You know, since I had my son several years ago my radar hasn't been on the latest celebrity gossip. HOWEVER….I loved reporting it to my listeners and honesty…I miss it! Thanks Jeremy for the inspiration and the name of my new report. You're the best!

So...
Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself…

Faith Evans speaks out in Tell All Book
Faith Evans Tell all Book is set to hit book stores Friday, August 29th. I just received my advance readers edition and I can't wait to leap into the 368-pages of Faith's story in her own words. Faith is also set to release a new album this Fall.

She talks about it all...from Biggie to Lil' Kim, to 2Pac and parenting. Evans says, "I want people to understand that although he was a large part of my life, my story doesn’t actually begin or end with Big’s death. My journey has been complicated on many levels. And since I am always linked to Big, there are a lot of misconceptions about who I really am. It’s not easy putting your life out there for the masses. But I’ve decided I’ll tell my own story. For Big. For my children. And for myself." I will have the 411 for you on Monday!

Break after High School?
OK parents…don’t lash out at me in your comments. I’m just the messenger. They have been doing it in the UK for years, and now some American high school graduates are considering taking a breather. It’s called a “Gap Year.” But think about it…how many of your friends and family graduated from college in four years? I’m part of the five year club myself. Hey even Princeton, Harvard, Tufts and MIT are big fans of the “Gap Year.” If your child is burnt out, not quite ready, or want to explore the world…a break may be a good thing. Just know…in a year…baby you are GOING to COLLEGE. Don't get it twisted!
