• When you're Karrine Steffans, one of the first things you do when you find yourself a domestic abuse situation with the dude who played Eddie Winslow on Family Matters is to text Perez Hilton. [PH]
Karrine Steffans likes to accuse most men she's had dealing with of being gay, and now that she's in business with Eddie Murphy… I'm just waiting.
Not only has Eddie Murphy launched a new record label, Murphy Entertainment, he has found his cornerstone artist: Karrine (Superhead) Steffans, author of "Confessions of a Video Vixen." The rap groupie will release her first album in March but can be heard freestyling on King magazine's annual mix tape, available next month.
Then again, he's going to be her boss. And considering the fact that she can't possibly be exceptional at this rap thing, she probably doesn't want to burn this bridge like she's burned so many others. [NYDN]
Karrine Steffans told Vibe magazine that her former boyfriend, Real Time host Bill Maher, loves to put down his girlfriends. Good thing for Karrine, there's nothing anyone can use against her in an argument. Psych!!!
She says, "Bill wants someone he can put down in an argument, tell you how ghetto you are, how big your butt is, and that you're an idiot. That's why you never see him with a white girl or an intellectual. I might as well have been a Muslim woman with my head wrapped, walking 10 paces behind my man. [But] I couldn't be 'Bill Maher's girlfriend' any more - not when I'm Karrine Steffans . . . best-selling author."
I don't get it. Even after she became a best-selling author, he was still completely correct in calling her an idiot.
• Beware of actual Superhead, while you're at it. [Bossip]
• Before she finally got a positive result, Halle Berry saved all of her negative home pregnancy tests, which is pretty nasty considering you have to piss on them to get a result. [People]
And I Mean That In The Least Complimentary Way Possible
There are so many things wrong with Karrine "Superhead" Steffans' appearance on Jamie Foxx's Sirius radio show, including, but not limited to, an Oscar-winning actor acting like a damn fool, poor "serious journalist" Shaun Robinson being subjected to a low-brow, sexually explicit conversation she was obviously not comfortable with, Superhead proving herself to be an ignorant embarrassment to womankind (maybe humankind?), and her on-air altercation with Tigger, whom she claims is gay.

However unorthodox it seems, I often feel bad for Karrine Steffans. She obviously thought for many years that sex was the only thing she had to offer in the world, and thus allowed herself to be used and thrown away like a piece of trash over and over again. That's got to do something to your psyche. Case in point — what made her feel like she had to continue having excruciatingly painful sex with Mike Tyson for hours (if what she wrote is to be believed, of course)? Also, ewww. From the The Vixen Diaries:
Mike Tyson, she writes, "loves the same way he fights: hard and rough. His kisses are like uppercuts, and his lovemaking is like a title match. And as he proved against Evander Holyfield, Mike Tyson is a biter. His passion manifested through pain as … I endured the extreme force of his 200-pound frame colliding into mine, he kissed, sucked and bit me overzealously. I was in excruciating pain as we continued in this manner for several hours. At the end, I was covered in bruises and bite marks and vowed to never have sex with him again."
• Bobby Brown supposedly lived in his car in the months following his separation from Whitney Houston. I suppose that was when he wasn't living on Superhead's couch. [TMZ]
• Glamour felt the heat from their staffers presentation on professional "Hair Don'ts" and is attempting damage-control. [LAW]
• Detroit, Detroit, Detroit. Get it together in city hall, please. [Bossip]
• Black contractors in New Orleans are hard up for work, since the government only works with big corporations. Well, duh. [MSNBC]
• Ne-Yo is lucky Britney Spears never got a chance to record his tracks. [SP]
• If George Bush's Homeland Security Department made a documentary about single black woman, this would be it. [WAOD]
• Stevie Wonder is planning his first U.S. tour since 1986. [SP]
• I know that this is completely uncharacteristic of him, but Akon actually angered some fans at a concert in the UK. [MEN]
• An interview going around in which Karrine Steffans unloads all sorts of sordid details about her sexcapades is bogus. Curiously, Steffans has the nerve to be insulted that people would put such words into her mouth. [J-N]
• I'm curious as to what makes Kanye West such an expert on wiggers. [MG]
Getting caught in flagrante delicto with Hugh Grant turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to Divine Brown, aka Estella Marie Thompson. While I'm pretty sure Hugh Grant doesn't count the duo's 1995 arrest on Sunset Blvd as a major feather in his cap, it was like a divine (get it?) intervention for a wayward LA hooker with a few kids to feed.
She tells the Daily Mail she made nearly $1.6 million doing publicity after her infamous arrest with the "Four Wedding and a Funeral" star, who was dating Elizabeth Hurley at the time. She says, "I love Hugh Grant. Hugh Grant put my kids through school, gave us a chance at the life we probably would've never reached." It's like "Pretty Woman" … kinda.
Brown went on to pass along her best wishes to Hugh, saying, "If I can meet him and shake his hand, all I would like to say is: 'Thank you. I appreciate you, and if there is anything I can do in return I would love to be a friend.'"
I'm not trying to put words in Hugh's mouth, here, but I'm going to take a wild guess that he got got all he needed from Ms. Brown about 15 years ago and is probably not interested in friendship. If she's looking for a new buddy, she and Karrine Steffans have a lot in common.
The only thing worse for today's hip hop and R&B stars than Karrine Steffans penning a new, more "intimate" book about her conquests would be if Kim Kardashian decided to take her story to the nearest publishing house. Actually, that's not really the thing among LA socialite types, and the types of D-Listers Kardashian favors would probably savor the publicity.
So Karrine Steffans still corners the market on fear-inducing hip hop groupie reading material. She spilled some of her secrets in a recent interview with King (of course).
"We're driving down the street, a car pulls up to my car," Steffans told the men-friendly mag. "My boy Chris is like, 'What's up?' They rolled down the back window and it's Ne-Yo, and he was like, 'Is Karrine in there?' Chris was like, 'Yeah, yeah, she's here.' He got out the car and he came by and was like, 'I'm heading back to my room, meet me at the hotel.' We all went to the hotel after that. We hung out all night with Ras Kass and some other girls in the room. The whole time he was just rubbing my feet. Just biting on my feet, rubbing on them. But we were comfortable ever since. Then we spent the next couple of days together. Ne-Yo looked at me right in my face and said, 'I don't care what happened before, but your life didn't start until the day you met me, and no matter what happens if we just stay friends, we end up together it doesn't matter.' I just felt like I'd known him all my life. When that got out, I actually panicked. I was nervous. Because I didn't want him to think that I did that. That's not my style."
First of all Karrine, and I'm surprised you don't know this by now, but Ne-yo used that line on you because he wanted a blow job. Second of all, what's not your style, here? Kissing and telling? Or leaking your valuable bedroom secrets to blogs instead of in King or your tell-all books or video diaries on your Web site?
