Author Spotlight: Interview w/ Queen of Novellas’s Denesha Sheree

26 mei 2011, 09:53

RashaEntertainment sat down with renowned author Denesha Sheree for a one-on-one interview. Coined as "the baddest Novella ever told", Sheree explains her humble beginning as a writer and delve into her book and why its a must read.[/p]

Briefly explain your background as an author and what was the impetus that made you want to become a literary author?

I actually ignored my talent for years. I can remember a professor pulled me to the side after class, and encouraged me to publish my work. I just brushed him off. It wasn’t until years later that I began to recognize the creative side of me.[/p]

Where did the idea of Tredina's Portal came from?

Tredina’s Portal derived from a crazy ass dream that I had about me battling against my reflection in my vanity mirror. It was actually wrote like six years ago under the name Two-Faced. When I began to write about this dream I couldn’t stop. I was going through a very dark time, so I think that played a factor in the plot itself.[/p]

How would you describe your writing style and what made delve in to write Novellas?

I describe my writing as twisted romance novels. I wanted to toy with my readers mind by seducing them with my words while providing with suspense. My writings are full of wisdom as well. One of my readers described my writing style as being on some Eve’s Bayou type shit. (Laughing) I thought that was a good description. I wanted to do Novellas, because I wanted to hit my readers with cliff hangers and the only way to do that was to create short stories that start crazy and end crazy…. Super fast[/p]

Many readers are going to wonder if the characters in your book are fictitious characters or not can you give us some insight?

People that have read the book, often ask me if I was the character Tredina. I always say Tredina and Denesha Shared some similar experiences. The characters in my book, have also shared some similar experiences with the people in my surrounding, who by the way love the story. (Laughing[/p]What direction do you want your Novella's to go in?[/p]I would love to see my novellas on film. I would love to have sold my story to Rainforest Productions, because the movies they produce are similar to my writing style which is twisted and sexy. However if someone takes a chance to make one of my Novellas into a movie series, I would jump at the opportunity.[/p]

At the end of the day the literary field is a business and not just a hobby. In any business there is competition, what are the hurdles and competition you overcame to arrive at this point?

The first hurdle I encountered was having my book reprinted due to poor editing. The funny thing is people were still trying to buy them with the few errors in order to read the story. That is when I knew I had something special. The literary game is not as easy as people think it is. It’s always easy to get your friends or family to buy the book. The challenge is getting someone that you don’t even know to pick it up. There are so many people in the world of book writing now. If your characters don’t move in the book, then the readers can’t vibe to it. When I say move, I mean if a reader can’t visualize them, then the story is shot to hell. There are thousands of good authors out there. It’s the luck of the draw if you book falls into the right person hand because the competition can be overwhelming at times.[/p]

Last but not least, what is next for Denesha Stamps?

I want my readers to continue to take me to bed with them (laughing), so I wrote another Twisted Tale called “The Yellow Clutch Society”. This one is going to be super crazy because once again, you can’t tell who you can trust. It’s lustful but tasteful. I will continue to establish myself as the Queen of Novellas in this literary game. I thank you sir for allowing me to introduce my self as well as my writing style.[/p]via: DeneshaSheree[/p]

‘The Real Housewives of the Bible’ — Righteous Drama Series

25 mei 2011, 15:09


Web evangelist and author Dr. Ty Adams is hosting the live DVD taping of ‘The Real Housewives of the Bible,’ which is her unique way of adding her spiritual message to modern day love and romance.[/p]Though it’s not quite clear who will be involved in the Southfield, Michigan-area taping, it’s safe to say that folks probably shouldn’t expect Danielle Staub or NeNe Leakes to show up. Adams explains that the ‘Real Housewives of the Bible’ will address the “challenges and the obstacles of trying to become a wife, and then when you finally do become one, how to stay one. We’re going to deal with sex, relationships…we’re going to bring in a whole ‘nother level. We’re going to bring the ‘Real Housewives of the Bible’ alive.”[/p]Most fans of reality TV are quite familiar with the high drama and family scandals that make Bravo's 'Real Housewives' franchise so popular. Adams looks like she's ready to target that same viewership from a more spiritually righteous perspective. (Side note: We wonder if she got permission to use the show's theme song.)[/p]via: TheBVX[/p]

New Book Reveals R. Kelly Got Aaliyah Pregnant At 15… WTF

25 mei 2011, 03:03

I usually do not report anything from MediaTakeOut unless I can assure its validity. However, I found a post that raised a few questions in regards to Demetrius Smith Sr., the author of the new book, "The Man Behind The Man". The tell-all-book is about R. Kelly and his love affair with a then 15 year old Aaliyah.[/p]Here is an excerpts:[/p]“I think she’s pregnant’ he said, in a voice that sounded as if he wanted to burst out in tears. ‘Oh man, Rob’ was all I could say at the time. Derrel McDavid arranged for a car to pick Aaliyah up at O’Hare airport and she had a hotel room available on arrival. This was crazy! How were we going to get through this without causing ill feelings with Barry Hankerson.[/p]‘How you gone marry Aaliyah Rob?’ I asked in bitter sadness. I wanted him to relinquish his idea on how that was going to happen.”[/p][/p]

Wiz Khalifa: I don’t mind having Kanye’s ‘leftovers’

24 mei 2011, 23:53

According to Voice Online, it does not bother Wiz Khalifa that that people say he got West's 'leftovers'.

"You can't judge a person by who they were with before," said 23-year-old Wiz. “If I’d done that, I would’ve missed out on a great person. There are tons of people who were with somebody and then went on to be with somebody else who they really found love with.”[/p]Personally, I do not eat left overs let alone will I entertain dating someone who is referred to as scraps from another man's table.[/p]

Angela Yee: Have you ever messed with a girl that you were embarrassed about and you hoped no one finds out?

Wale: When I was younger. Seeing them in the club the next time like, Damn, if I could see me from last week I’d beat the shit out of me. I’d put a roofie in my own joint so I don’t end up talking to this chick.

Meek Mill: Like 3:30 in the morning, not having a girl. It be like that sometimes. I fuck a lot of bad women, don’t get it twisted. I got a thick one, a little husky... I got that one and she’s always around. And people found out I hit it—

[All laugh]

Mill: She ain’t fat. She’s thick. She’s like 25 percent over the line.

Pill: She had a few too many goddamn double cheeseburgers.

What about you, Ross?

Ross: I be sliding through the ‘hood, I can’t lie. I love extravagant exotic women, but I come from the ‘hood at the same time. So if I’m in my Chevy riding through the ‘hood and you see one of those ghetto girls in a hot pink shirt, you’re just like ‘Hey, put your number in this.’ I’m still in touch with the ‘hood like that.

You’re giving back to the community.

Ross: I still give back. I can’t even front.

Pill, I’ve seen you with some crackheads.

[All laugh]

Mill: Pill is a ‘hood nigga, for real. He doesn’t give a fuck.

Pill: On some real shit, I’ve had some that didn’t look all that right. I play like I ain’t know it that day in the club because—

Ross: You can’t act like you don’t know it.

Wale: That’s what makes them go crazy.

Pill: I ain’t gon’ lie, one of my worse experiences was waking up in the morning years ago and I looked over to my left and said, “Aww, man, what the fuck were you doing, dog?”

Ross: I can’t sleep the whole night with a chick. Before sunrise, shorty, you got to go.

Pill: Obviously, I was too fucked up in the first place to have you in my bed and in my house if you’re looking that bad. So I went to sleep and when I got up, I’m asking you, “What went down? Did I really just...”

Ross: You done ate the pussy.

Did Drake Diss Jay-Z In His Latest Song?

24 mei 2011, 03:53

With hip-hop being competitive in nature and rappers spitting braggadocios lyrics, subliminal diss are hurled, egos are crushed and every other emcee claims to be the best rapper alive.[/p]Many hip hop connoisseurs who closely examines lyrics  for punchlines and subliminal disses are wondering if Drake is firing shots at the legendary emcee Jay-Z.[/p]I will let you be the judge:[/p]“Hate the rumors, hate the bulls–t, hate these f—-n’ allegations/I’m just feelin’ like the throne is for the taking, watch me take it.” -I'm The One (DRAKE)[/p]“And I feel like lately I went from top five to remaining five/My favorite rappers either lost it or they ain’t alive.” -Dreams Money Can Buy (DRAKE)[/p]UPDATE: I guess Drake got word that his lyrics were being perceived as a Hov diss and quickly tweeted he admires the legend and he in no way was dissing him.[/p][/p]
