Montel Williams is giving up the talk-show game after 17 years in the biz, reports People. This season will be his last. Whether you were a fan or not, you gotta respect a brotha for holding down a network TV show for nearly two decades.
“I can’t say thank you enough to those who’ve welcomed me into their homes for the past seventeen years,” Williams said in a statement. “It has been both an honor and a joy.”

Ousted “Top Model” judge Janice Dickinson has pissed off friends of Lisa Lopes for using the deceased singer’s image in a photo shoot last week on her show, “The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency.”
From the NY Post: The reality show featured a photo shoot for Dragonfly clothing that used models dressed as dead rock stars - including Elvis, Kurt Cobain and Lopes, who was part of the TLC trio. “Imagine her family’s surprise to hear that a model was impersonating Lisa for a catalog they never heard of,” says a Lopes pal, who added that her family is currently working on a CD of her unreleased music.
At the risk of siding with crabby-behind Janice Dickinson, her photo shoot pays homage to Lopes. Doesn’t it?
Former child star Gary Coleman thought he was about to pull in a cool $400,000 for a pair of autographed pants he tried to sell on Ebay. Errr! His size 12XL-Regular Gap Kids athletic gear sold for $500 to — get this — late-night show host Jimmy Kimmel. That’s because the six-figure bidder never came through with the funds. But Kimmel’s three-figure check cashed with no problem. Of course, he had no idea he was dealing directly with Coleman when he first bid $80 on Jan. 10, according to his publicist. Either way, he now owns a pair of little pants that once belonged to the “Different Strokes” star. Poor Gary!

Fla-vor-Flav’s sportin’ a new look for the tramps, I mean, ladies of “Flavor of Love 3.” What woman in her right mind would turn this down???!!!?? Have at him, y’all…Hahahahahaha!

A loyal reader sent this picture of Michael Jordan, shopping with a woman who’s supposed to be his new honey dip — a clearly much younger dip than ex-wife Juanita. After giving up $168 mil in his divorce, we hope he’s being more cautious this time around.

More on the sketchy break-up of Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds. Apparently, dude needs a good anger management program.
From the NY Post: Tracey Edmonds broke up with Eddie Murphy right before they were about to make their Bora Bora wedding legal because Murphy became bossy and physically intimidating, and insisted his mother accompany them on their honeymoon. “That was kind of the last straw,” said a friend of the beautiful bride. “She was happy to sign a prenup — she has her own money. She was very accommodating. But then it was like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Eddie became very controlling and they got into a huge fight. He started screaming at her and grabbed her. She was scared.” The friend added, “She was even willing to change her name to Tracey Murphy, and all the wedding invites and place cards had her labeled as such.”
Wonder if Mel B. is somewhere thanking God she didn’t hook up with her baby daddy?

Is yo mama this fly?

Need more proof America is ready for a brother in the Oval Office? Actor Dennis Haysbert says when he played the Prez on Fox’s “24,” folks wanted him to campaign.
“As far as the public is concerned, it did open up their minds and their hearts a little bit to the notion that if the right man came along… that a black man could be president of the United States,” the actor shared recently with TV Guide. “People on the street would ask me to run for office… when I went to promote [24].”

Denzel Washington delivered it in two outstanding flicks: “American Gangster” and “The Great Debaters.” Yet the brother was shut out of the Oscars this year? Not one nod. Was he robbed?
(Shout out to Ruby Dee who, at 83 years old, just got her first Oscar nomination for supporting actress in “Gangster.”)
