EXCLUSIVE: Jennifer Hudson is PREGNANT

jjsdirt — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 15:57:00 GMT

Jennifer Hudson told me EXCLUSIVELY at her recent concert here in Atlanta, GA, that she and her fiance David Otunga are expecting their first child together. Although she wouldn't confirm a due date, Hudson was all smiles when telling me the news backstage. Former American Idol Fantasia, who joined Hudson on stage for a duet during the sold-out show, said this to me about the happy news, "I am so happy for her. She is an inspiration for women around the world." I too am so happy for such a talented and strong woman. If you have yet to catch Hudson and Robin Thicke on their current tour, you must go to TICKETMASTER.COM and purchase your tickets now. You will leave like you just left your best Sunday services.

Unzipped...

jjsdirt — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 01:33:00 GMT

I have been part of many scandals, or what most seemed to think were scandals, so I decided to step outside of myself and do something extremely opposite of something I thought I would ever do...Pose nude for a national magazine. Paris Hilton & Kim Kardashian taught me a few tricks along with Adrienne Bailon, so why not put those to good use? So, as I am preparing for my book entitled, "Don't You Know Who I Am Yet," release this summer I decided to give the world an insight not only into my much anticipated Hollywood Tell-All but a little more on me personally. I mean a LOT more. The editors of Unzipped Magazine have approached me for a possible shoot in the very near future where I will also give many tidbits exclusively to them from my upcoming book. I will update you as things proceed as this shall be interesting and you will be the first to know more...

David Atlanta - Let Freedom Ring

jjsdirt — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 14:47:00 GMT

There is this creepy gay magazine in Atlanta that loves to hate me. It started off by what was suppose to be a great cover story, to one that basically makes a mockery of me. Then roll to just a couple of weeks ago when they mention me again with the title "Dipshit." You must love the classiness of this magazine already. Now former reporter turned editor Ryan Lee continues his tirade about me in his latest blog postings. When Will The Recession.... ...eliminate the industry of Public Relations? Working with PR representatives can be more excruciating for a root canal. Their entire job, the entire point of their existence, is to drum up publicity for their clients. So if they aren't setting up interviews for their clients (as promised) and they aren't sending out pictures of their clients (as promised), then what in the fuck are they doing? I've been working with a particular PR rep since last week and she couldn't be more unhelpful. When she finally did email me the promised photo, it took every ounce of restraint in my body to simply reply "Thank you" instead of letting her know what I really think of her "help." Speaking of annoying PR flacks, yesterday I received an ANGRY call from fan favorite Jonathan Jaxson/Shelton/Whatever the Hell He's Calling Himself Today. He was super pissed about the inaugural edition of The Talk column, which cast a little sunshine on his overall shadiness. As is his style, he huffed and puffed about how great he is and how "frivolous" our report was, and he practically demanded an apology. Of course he received no such thing, and it took every ounce of restraint in my body to.... :) Finally, I must say that within the PR profession, there truly are SOME professionals. Nothing can make this job easier than when a PR rep is on his or her shit, and so I can't post this rant without expressing my sincere appreciation for those classy folks. But way too many people who call them PR reps are simply Chatty Kathys who con people into thinking that they can actually help expand a client's brand. The Shadiness Never Ends Good morning boys! I hope everyone in Atlanta is starting to thaw out after yesterday's snow storm. It's funny because at different points throughout Saturday night, several of my friends said they were convinced there was no way it could snow Sunday, considering how warm it was. That alone made me sure that it was going to snow, and the city wound up receiving several hours of considerable flurries. My boyfriend went away for the weekend and was unable to fly back last night due to the weather. It's just as well because he would've been off work today anyway, since he's a school teacher and for some reason school can't be in session the day after snow. It's always such torture to be watching Good Morning America and getting ready for work while seeing all of the school closings that so many children and teachers are celebrating. I got a delicious e-mail this morning from Atlanta blogger Chris Vise regarding The Talented Mr. Jaxson/Shelton. I told you last week about how Jonathan Jaxson called me to bitch me out and demand a correction on the item we ran about him in The Talk. Well it turns out, Jonathan was right -- a correction is in order. That's because in our article, we reported that Jonathan was working as a publicist for Kim Zolciak from "The Real Housewives of Atlanta." Well it turns out that Jaxson is no longer employed by Zolicak -- continuing a history of brief and shady career opportunities for Jaxson -- but the "Real Housewives" diva is now suing Jaxson for allegedly sabotaging her website, and saying that she's so broke she couldn't even afford to use Blogger, which is free. Since he'll probably be creating a new name, and a new PR firm in order to land a new hustle soon, we think Jaxson/Shelton should start calling himself Jonathan Disaster. I despise this human being. Some would say bad publicity is good publicity, but I know how that part really works. This guy has an obsession with me and it won't stop. Who is this nearly bald gay freak of nature who claimed me meeting my father and coming out on TV was something that destroyed my family???

Long Time, No Speak

jjsdirt — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 02:35:00 GMT

Hi Friends, It has been a long while since I last wrote, so I thought I would update those of you that continue to check back often. Recently I jumped back into PR and what a storm it has been. My new company is sky rocketing and I love being out of the spotlight much more than I did in it! What an amazing feeling it is creating an average person into a household name, a dream of theirs come true. I love PR and this is my life. Just no more dirty secret telling as I am smart enough this time around to sign confidentiality agreements with all. You live and you learn!!! You can check out my site, a work in progress, at www.JJPublicRelations.com. So, I must tell you how much I love the W Hotels...Recently they held their new Buckhead Atlanta location grand opening and I had such a good time. Everyone was so nice and the atmosphere was electric. (Photo added up top.) Speaking of the W, I am glad George is out and Obama is finally in!!! How exciting is it to be living proof of all this??? Next month I will be taking a client of mine to her first ever NYC for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. We are both stoked as it is like Christmas time for me. Also, while in NYC I turn the BIG 25. Scary!!! OK, enough of me blabbering, I hope your well and can't believe so many thousands of you continue to check-in daily when this blog is defunct!!! :) XoXo, JJ

The holiday season is upon us and it had me doing a lot of thinking. One thing I decided to do was move into my very first condo in downtown Atlanta. It is gorgeous. The views are something out of a fairytale. I have also started back into the PR world. Now two clients and building. It is nice helping build another's career/image and watching the excitement on their faces as their dreams unfold in front of them. What greater joy this holiday season then to give back to others. On Christmas I will not be spending the holiday with family, instead I will be volunteering at a shelter to ensure others have a happy holiday celebration. I hope you find your own little way of giving back too this holiday. AND on Friday, at 7 PM EST, I will be hosting a LIVE video chat on my KYTE channel to answer any and all questions you may have. Also joining me will be my girlfriend from "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," Kim Zolciak. You must go to www.kyte.tv/jjsdirt and join us this Friday LIVE from 7-7:30 PM EST. Happy Holiday's and see you Friday!!!

LIARS...

jjsdirt — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 15:58:00 GMT

I love how Kim Kardashian gets a summer interview off her web page as of yesterday and then posts THIS blog in response to the Adrienne Bailon incident. Let me just say some are simply GREAT liars. THANK GOD for proof in e-mails, phone logs, voice mails, etc... Protect yourself people, especially if you could ever get stabbed in the back. If only I had hours to explain all I have been through and why I have made some of the decision I have, I would. But then that too would be twisted and someone would attempt to assume I am out with a pure vengince. I know myself and those around know me, that is all that matters in the end. This chapter is now CLOSED!!! My peace has been said.

Dirt on The Real Housewives of Atlanta

jjsdirt — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 13:55:00 GMT

My interview on CBS 46 Atlanta with "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" was over 20-minutes long yesterday and just clips will be shown online and in their morning show "Better Mornings." Let me tell you the dirt I got behind the scenes on one interesting character from the show, NeNe Leakes... 1. She is married to her husband Greg, but she has cheated on him behind his back on several occasions. The two originally met while NeNe was a stripper here in Atlanta. 2. She rented the home you see in the show and no longer lives in it. Isn't that good enough for now? Of course not, but that is all you are going to get here. You must check out the interview as it appears on CBS46.com for all the rest.
