Tom Joyner, host of the Tom Joyner Morning Show, together with Allstate Insurance Company, the largest publicly held personal lines insurance company in America, is once again sharing the “party with a purpose” with the listener family by bringing more entertainment along with more educational and empowering activities to the 2008 Tom Joyner Family Reunion® event in Orlando, FL during Labor Day weekend. Scheduled for August 28 – September 1, 2008, the Tom Joyner Family Reunion is over flowing with activities for both the new school and old school audiences. The Gaylord Palms® Resort & Convention Center in Orlando, Florida will set the stage for a star powered three day concert event featuring Oscar winning powerhouse Jennifer Hudson and the legendary soul singer Al Green. Also performing during the “Grown Folks” concert experience will be the beautiful and talented Solange Knowles and R&B crooner Lyfe Jennings. As a bonus this year, a late night comedy concert has been added after the musical performances which will include funny guys Mark Curry, Marvin Dixon, A.J. Jamal, Gary Owens, and Damon Williams, all hosted by ‘The Fly Jock’ Tom Joyner and J Anthony Brown. Then the Sunday Gospel Explosion brings the weekend music celebration to a close with high spirits when Grammy award winning gospel duo Mary Mary grace the stage, along with the dynamic group Trin-I-Tee 5:7 and hosted by the incomparable Dr. Bobby Jones. Additionally, the ‘new school’ audience will have a concert full of R&B and Hip Hop stars at the “Shawty House Party” on Saturday night featuring Hot Stylz with their hit single “Lookin’ Boy”, as well as DJ Unk, hot girl group Lady Lux, and many more. Tickets for all concerts can be purchased now through Ticketmaster.com or by calling 407-839-3900. Although the full weekend packages sold out in just eight short weeks, thousands of listeners will still be able to join in the family fun during the day with Tom and the crew by attending the Family Expo on Friday and Saturday. The expo will boost live music performances by hot R&B artist Dwele and the sultry soul artist Eric Benet. To inform and empower there will be a can’t miss relationship panel featuring celebrity couple Doug and Jackie Christie and moderated by famed writer Finesse Mitchell; a literary showcase presented by Sybil’s Book Club highlighting best selling African American children’s books; health and business seminars; and special exhibits. Plus, the Tom Joyner Morning Show will broadcast live Friday morning from the Family Expo hall and all listeners in the area are invited to attend.

OH NO: AJC Reporter Attacks Kevin Ross for Jennifer Hudson Story
Editor's Note: The issue is settled but I wrote this before it happened.
Before I address this let me show you his quote about me:
"... a Peach Buzz item for Monday.) Sonia had no clue about the online buzz around the album cover so I know she didn’t ask about that.
Kev Ross, who readily agreed to the restrictions, slagged me in his blog radiofacts.com. I’m not really sure who Kev Ross is but it’s fairly clear he’s not a real journalist. And I argued with the publicist, not the performer. Plus, I don’t think the question about her album cover is “embarrassing” at all. But here’s his take on it:
I have never been one to argue or ask embarrassing questions to a performer but apparently The Atlanta Journal and Constitution’s Radio reporter felt, I surmised, that since he worked for the AJC, he had the right to ask whatever he wanted after we were instructed on what not to ask, which I thought was more than reasonable. He lost his press credential on the spot and got kicked out (ouch)."
I know many of you have never heard of this guy. His name is Rodney Ho and he is the radio and TV reporter for the Atlanta Journal and Constitution. A paper I have not read in two years. At the event that night, he was very eager to make sure people knew he was there as he laughed loudly on his cell phone while typing away on his computer (dont' you hate when people do that?) Before I came to Atlanta, I had never heard of him so the fact that he does not know who I am after 20 years of serving the industry on a national level lets me know how much HE really knows about journalism and/or black radio and music. You will be happy to know I was kind in my post on the AJC blog but I wanted to give him something that he so greatly craves.. national attention from real industry people. Here's your 15 minutes to catch up Rodney... make it work!

OH NO: "Trashman" (video nut) arrested in NY
I've actually run a few of his videos on Radio Facts' Blog where he threatened to kill Wendy Williams and others. He didn't seem to have a problem threatening people like Wendy but when you say you have poisoned a corporations baby food jars apparently, all hell breaks loose. The 42 year old was arrested when feds investigated where the videos were coming from and he faces 10 years in prison.
Bernie Mac is NOT dead (but he is in very critical condition)
Rumors have been running rampant that comedian Bernie Mac, who is suffering from pneumonia has died. His publicist confirms the rumors are NOT true but she admits that he is in VERY critical condition.

YIKES/WHAT IN DE FOOK!: Aretha Franklin AGAIN....
I am at a total loss for wordage when I look at this picture. Why just this past week I gave Aunt Reef credit for dropping a few pounds. Now it looks like she's been inhaling Banana Pudding again. Her boyfriend, yes I said "boyfriend" is in the background with the striped shirt on.
