Jonathan Plummer's Book Is As Bad As You Might Have Imagined
Famous for being an ex-husband, Jonathan Plummer has had the tide of public approval against him since he came out of the closet and his marriage to novelist Terry McMillan dissolved.
So when he decided to write a piece of "fiction" with some shocking similarities to his situation with his famous ex-wife, he should probably have expected some backlash.
I got some from Terry, herself, on Stereohyped a couple weeks ago, when I wrote a post about a bookstore banning Plummer's Balancing Act.
I haven't read the book or spoken to Plummer myself — Stereohyped's gay blog-brother Queerty had that honor. See what Queerty has to say in this tell-all. Hint: it's nothing good!

I love Terry McMillan. She can do NO wrong!
It's a pity that JP can get so much attention, almost Monica Lewinsky style…And to think that novels like, 'Big Sister Almighty' by, Marcia Leota(Amazon.com) can only be found on the net!
JP would better further his future by learning a skill. Maybe a hairdresser or interior deco., florist(?) something that he might display a 'flair'.
Oh f'ing please. He's a lame-ass for trying to place the blame on Terry. Just because she said "come here" doesn't mean he had to say "OK". He saw the dollar signs and everything else went out the window. What a coward.
It's an amazingly embarrassing and hurtful situation for Terry and I know that's where the vitriol comes from. She was maybe a little naive and he was an opportunist. Two things that should never mix b/c when they do someone is going to get hurt. He's getting too much attention, but when you go on Oprah and beat the boy down you almost set him up for it. How many ppl wouldn't have the interest in him that they seemingly do if he hadn't been dragged onto a show that a bizillion ppl watch?
Oh Terry. How Stella Got Her Groove Back needs a sequel.
Ever since that Oprah appearance, all I can think of is how she could not have known he was a fag. The dude sets off more sparks than Rebbie Jackson in the "centipede" video.
Solitaire, I have been thinkin the same thing ever since I saw his pic. Son looks sweet in that pic above.
I guess when you're past 40 (and desperate), you look past things like THE OBVIOUS. Having said that, I find both of them extremely annoying and unlikable.
I think the over 40 part. My mother is the only person who is ever shocked when my friends come out of the closet.
"But he's such a nice, fine boy." Exactly. LOL.
That passage about the nectar-tasting manjuice is just excruciating. Even the worst romance novelists can write better sex scenes than that.
With any luck, Jonathan does hair better than he, uh, "writes." Because nobody's buying this mess.
who in the hell goes to jamaica to get a light skinned brotha? lol she shoulda know better!
dude dont even have an accent!! lol!
Um, what dana?
Jamaicans come in various shades and I don't think she kept his skin tone in mind.
